VIOLATING NEUTRALITY.
Attorney Charles Page Says the
Offenders Must Be Caught In the

Attorney Charles Page Says the
Offenders Must Be Caught In the
Act, as in Smuggling.
Interest has been aroused during the
last few months, aneut the Cuban war. on
the question as to how far the people OF
the United States or other neutral coun-
tries could go in furnishing aid to the
insurgents.
From the fact that the Cuban authcri-
ties enthusiastically seize vessels en-
gagged in conveying arms and supplies, 1t
has been thought that the owners OF the
vessels had been violating the neutrality
laws. but this is not necessarily the case
Charles Page, who is one of the leading
authorities on international law, says that
merchant vessels have perfect right to
carry arms, money and provisions, and II
they are landed successfully Cuba can
have no recourse against the United
States. She may have found out after
ward that the arms and supplies were
actually furnished, and be able to prove
this, but that will cut no figure. She can
get no indemnity. She must, if she
would even up for what would be consid-
cred the offense, catch those who furnish
the goods and arms in the very act
But citizens of the United States must
not organize an expedition with the open
and avOWed intention OF FURNISHING SUCH
aid to insurgents. That would be a vio-
latlon of the neutrality law. The question
turns really, therefore, on the fitting out
of the expedition.
1t is a matter. as Mr.. Page points out,
much like smuggling. The United States
has no power to prevent any OF its citizens
from smuggling into any other country.
1t has nothing to do with it. and only
takes cognizance of violations in our own
country.
But if those citizens OF the United States
get caught by the officials of the country
where they have been smuggling they are
amena BILE to the laws of that country, and
may be punished by the methods laid
down in the laws of that country. The
United States cannot say it nay. 1t has
nothing 20 do with it.
1t would appear that the old aphorism.
do not get caught" has a great deal to
do with it. barring, of course, the recog-
nized rights of merchantmen. The rails
ing o. men in the United States and the
method OF their being forwarded, as well
as the landing of arms, is all right if 1t is
done right.

mem ers of King Solomon's Lodge paid.
The building will be commenced just as
soon as suitable plans can be prepared
and the necessary arrangements entered
into for the construction OF an iron and
stone structure of three stories. The
ground floor will be used as stores. The
second is intended for lodgerooms and
assem- blages of societies other than Ma
sonic. On the top floor will be the lodge
room for the use OF the Masons exclus-
lively. In the rear portion will be the
lodgeruom. The center of the floor will
be devoted to the use OF anteIooms, store
rooms and offices, while the entire front
will be used as large banquet hall for
the use of the mem bers and their friends.
The idea of King Solomon's Lodge own
ing its own ground and building first en-
tered the mind of Past Master Gustave
Gunzendorfer during his first incum bency
in 1894. Having m ade known these desires
to some of the members the question be-
came agitated until eventually in 1885 and
during his second term as worshipful
master the following committee on "lot
and building" was appointed: G. GunZen-

door Photographers.

Since the converting of the State Legis-
lature at Sacramento one of the first acts
of the organized wheelmen has been the
preparation of their so-called baggage
bill, under which bicycles shall be carried
free by transportation companies as lug
gage.
Frank H. Kerrigan, chief consul of the
League of American Wheelmen; Charles
Albert Adams, Frank II. Dunno and
Percy V. Long, all prominent attorneys of
this City, met recently and formulated
the following amendment to the Civil
Code, which it is thought will cover the
ground desired:
Section 2181 of the Civil Code of California
is hereby amended so as TO read as follows:
Section 1. Luggage may consist OF what
ever the passenger takes with him for his per-
sonal use and convenience, according to the
habits or wants OF the particular class to
which he belongs, either with reference to the
immediat necessities or TO the ultlm ate pur-
pose of the journey. No crate, cover or other
protection shall be required for any bicycle
carried as luggage, but no passenger shall be
entitled to carry as luggage more than one
bicycle
Sec 2 This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage
Mr.. Adams was seen by The CALL rep
resentative yesterday and expressed the
belief that the measure would pass both
houses. cit is aimed to be Of benefit to
other classes besides the cyclers, you will
notice, he said. Hunters can transport
their guns and dogs without charge. fish
ermen their tackle, artists their brushes
paints and easels, photographers their
tripods and cameras and so on cd infini-
tum, SO that we may reasonably expect
support from all these sources. Besides
the measure is manifestly fair, and is not
hardship to the transporta lion COM
panies. 1t would discourage the cyclers
and men in other branches OF sport II
they lad to pay for their wheels, guns,
etc., when taking an outing in the coun-
try, and they would be likely to go in di-
rections where they would not need to
take train. Thus the railroads would
lose their passenger fare and be out that
much"
II is the intention to send committee
to Sacramento shortly to present this bill
10 the legislators. 1t will be fathered by
the League of American Wheeimen, and
such OF the funds as can be spared from
the earnings of the proposed benefit meet
of the league at the VeIodrome on Satur-
| day, January 16. will be devoted toward
defraying the expenses. of that COM
mittee. The wheelmen are very much
interested in the measure, and ale
earnestly hoping for its adoption.

From Raising Funds for the
Insurgents.

must consequently make them the same
reply as has been made TO others: THANK
you for your kind offer. If we could &C
cept your offer without violation of the
law we would"
The conclusion of the general to refuse
the proffered assistance or to treat 1T with
silence practically ends the incident so
far az meetings to raise FUNDS are con-
cerned, because the leaders of the move
ment here and at Los Angeles have openly
stated that without credentials from the
Junta they would do nothing by way OF
agitation. In spite of the great meetings
in Los Angeles and the preparations to in
terest people here the new development
will end all efforts in behalf OF the
insuIc entS.
1t is not improbable that some OF the
friends OF Spain will take legal steps
against the friends of Cuba if they at
tempt to raise any funds for the insur
gents.
The United States neutrality laws
which General Estrada Palma fears. are
very far-reaching. From section 5281 of
the Revised Statutes OF the United States
TO $3.50 inclusive the subject is treated in
detail. In a general way it is provided
that every citizen accepting a commission
or hiring another as soldier, marine or
seaman, or who fits out, arms or aids an
expedition againsta friendly power in any
way, may be fined $1,000 or imprisoned for
two years.
Section 52S1 makes it an offense to ac-
cept q foreign commission, while the next
section covers 'enlisting in the service. !"
Sections 52S3 and $3.50 make it grave Of
tense to aid military or naval expedition

commodious clubhouse.
The rooms were filled with Indian art
work and curios until every bit of wall

with things that went TO make up one of
the most complete displays of the kind

unique idea.
Among the interesting exhibits were
souvenirs of Helen Hunt Jackson. who
in her story of Ramona introduced a
charming rom ance into the lives OF some
prosaic mission Indians of Soutt ern Cali
fornia. The very table on which the
man uscript of Ramona was written
formed ar important part of this particu-

Many things were borrowed for the dis
play. Paintings were loaned by James d.

her valuable Alaska collection; Mrs.
Charles Wheeler had furnished mum Der
of pictures of Indian characters painted
by Mrs. Hudson; Mrs. C. b. Bishop had

things.
The whole collection was valued at $20,-
