Mckinley rs California
He Reviews a Floral Parade
and is Showered With Cali
fornia Confetti.
Los Angeles, Cal., May 9 From a
broad blue canopied .pavilion, sur
rounded by members of his cabinet,
the Governor of Ohio and notables
from many States, President McKin
ley today reviewed the floral parade
of the Los Angeles carnival. The city
was packed. The population of Los
Angeles, acording to the census, is
morethan 100,000, but the streets must
have held almost twice as many to
day. Pasadena, Santa Monica and
other neighboring towns in southern
California were literally depopulate.
The scene on broadway, where the re
viewing stand was located, . resembled
Pennsylvania7 Avenue In? Washington
on the day of an inaugural parade.
Every facade flamed with bunting,
flags and pampas grass plumes, red,
green and orange, the colors of the
fiesta, prevailing.
As each carriage reached the review
ing stand the ladies in it rose, and
.smilingly saluted the President with
deep courtesies.The President was kept
on his feet most of the time returning
these greetings. He apparently enjoyed
the experience hugely. Each lady car
ried a bag of rose leaves for use as con
fetti and after saluting the President,
she threw a handful of soft petals into
his box. Before the parade was over he
was ankle deep in rose leaves.
This afternoon the ladies of the Pres
ident's party went to Pasadena and
took a drive there, while the President
made a trip to the National Soldiers'
Home, near Santa Monica. It Is 18
miles distance and he made the jour
ney in electric cars. Three thousand of
the President's old comrades of the ci
vil war greeted him there. The old
soldiers gave the President a remark
able demonstration. Mr. McKinley
made an address.
Los Angeles, May 10. During the
visit of the Presidential party to the
soldiers home much excitement was
caused by the discovery that Secretary
Wilson and uharles A. Moore had lost
their pocket books. Moore a minute
after he discovered his loss saw a man
picking the pocket of other men In the
crowd. A detective arrested the pick
pocket. On his person was found the
purses of Wilson and Moore, besides
several other pocket-books well filled.
It is' believed this thief has followed
the Presidential party all the way from
Washington.

FLIGHT EIIDS UP 111 SUICIDE
BANKER POLLOCK FOUND DEAD IN
SEATTLE HOTEL.
Burned all His Papers and Fired a Ballet
Through His Brain, but a Tailor's Mark
Revealed His Identity.
Seattle, Wash., May 8. A man, be
lieved to be R. N. Pollock, the missing
bank president from Cleveland, Ohio,
ended his life here today in the Hotel
York by sending a bullet through his
brain. A razor, a two ounce box of
rough on rats, and a phial containing
100 tablets of aconite were found at
hand. All papers belonging to the man
had been burned before committing the
deed.
Pollock arrived here Monday and re
gistered as James Fisher. He failed to
appear during the next day and . his
room was finally broken into. Lying
in a reclining position the body was
found, and the coroner was called in.
The deceased had not stirred after fir
ing the fatal shot. No clew was ob
tained in the room, but the name of R.
N. Pollock was found sewed on the In
side of his coat, placed there by a
Cleveland, Ohio, tailor.
Pollock appeared well dressed and
had $30 in money in his pocket. He
looked to have been thirty years of
age, with a light complexion and wear
ing asmall brown mustache.
Cleveland, May 8. R. N. Poilock,who
killed himself in Seattle today, was
the President of the Cuyahoga Savings
Bank and Building Company of this
city. He was thirty-eight years of age,
married, and had three children. He
was the promoter of the bank which
closed its doors Jast Monday. Pollock
disappeared ten days ago and had not
been definitely located until news of
his act of self-destruction reached this
city this evening.
The condition of the bank is as yet
a matter of conjuncture, its books be
ing in the hands of a receiver, who is
making an examination, and whose re
port is expected in a day or two. The
bank had dep'osits to the extent of
?340,000. This sum of money was not
in the bank's possession at the time.
Rumors of its weakness were feared,
and to avoid the Inevitable outcome of
possible immediate demand f Or such
a large sum of money, the directors
decided to suspend business, and a re
ceiver was appointed.
Other Cleveland bankers, it is said,
would have gone to the assistance of
the Cuyahoga Savings Bank if they
had been asked. The bank was not
prominent in the city's financial insti
tutions, being located in the residence
district, and Its depositors were small
ones. The receiver of the bank stated
tonight that Pollock did not take the
money that was in the bank at the
time of his leaving the city, and it is
believed that, knowing that a crisis
was near, he sought safety In flight.
The United States Carbon Company
which went into the hands of a receiv
er on account of the failure of the
bank, is said to be not seriously in
volved, and it is expected to resume
operations soon with increased facili
ties. 1

HILL'S EARLY PROJECTS
What Alex Mitchell Thought or .
Him and His Proposed Rail
road.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
James J. Hill, the great railway and
steamship magnate who is now so pro
minently in the transportation world,
was at one time a Mississippi river
steamboat "runner", and as such was
well known to one of the early day rail
way men of Milwaukee. In view of the
present position occupied by Mr. Hill,
it is interesting to listen to stories of
his labors as an agent for the steam
boats which plied up and down the
Mississippi, along in the 50's.
About 1857 James J. Hill could be.
seen daily about the docks at Dunleith,
111., drumming business for the boats
bound for St. Paul, St. Louis and other
river points at a time when these boats
did the bulk of the business, because
railroads were few. The old Chicago
and Galena road, now a part of the
Northwestern system, ran to Galena
in those days and connected with the
boats for St. Paul and different points,
and young Hill, who had come down
from Canada a short time before, was
doing a good business as solicitor of
passengers for these boats. He would
get a commission on every passenger
he secured for a particular line.He was
there when the Milwaukee man, who is
still here, met him, : ;
Later he went to St. Paul, and there
became Interested with the late Com
modore Kitson, at that time secre
tary of the Hudson Buy Fur Company,,
and the two bought out a line, broke-en-down
railroad which ran 30 miles
northwest from St. Paul into the for
ests. This road was the nucleus of the
present Great Northern system. For
some years Kitson and Hill operated it
chiefly for hauling cord wood to St.
Pauli, where te; sold the wood at a big
advance.
.... About this time Hill begah to dream l
of a big railway system under one man
agement to the Pacific Coast. He
brought his well-laid plans (plans
which have since been fully carried
out by him) to Milwaukee and laid
them before the late Alexander Mitch-
cii, picoiuciit ui cue 1u11waun.ce sjraiciu.
It was stated by a Milwaukeean who
first met Hill on the Mississippi river
t.-j.
that the enterprising railway dreamer
laid before Mr. Mitchell a general out
Hrfe of the conditions as they actually
ex&tCtoday in the operation and man
agement of the Great Northern. He
toftMr. Mitchell that if he would unite
with him and get the financial back
ing necessary they could build, equip,
control and operate a line of railroad
from St. Paul to the Pacific Coast, and
that it would be a winner. He talked
to the great power of the Milwaukee
road for an hour or more, during
which Mitchell said little' or nothing.
He only listened to young Hill, and
this is the answer the man from St.
Paul received when he finally finished r
"Jem, me boy you are a fool."
That ended the negotiations with
Mitchell. Hill evidently did not agree
with the great magnate of the Milwau
kee, for he kept pegging away and to
day, as a result of his indomitable per
severance, he is one of the greatest
railway men of the country.
