The similarity of names of many vessels
frequently results in confusion and some
times in serious mistakes. 1t Is an evil
mat should be avoided by shipowners, but
reform is too big a task ever TO be at
tempted, says the New York Commercial
IL frequently happens that two vessels of
the same name are in port together. which
often results In exasperating confliction
Frequently vessels of identical names have
been crossing the seas, bound for the same
port, when disaster overtakes one, and the
wrong vessel has been published as lost
IL seems as IL there ought to be enough
names to go around.
Says one critic: Similarity in names OF
vessels is bad enough. but duplication is
simply abominable, even though flag and
class may be entirely different. There
should be only one vessel In the world
bearing a particular name. OF course
nothing but an International agreement
can regulate the naming of vessels, but
that ought not 10 be an impossible task.
We suggest that the machinery be set in
motion to bring it about

SA1NPEDRO'S PROSPECTS
T. E. GIBBON RETURNS FROM A
MONTHS PILGRIMAGE
Important Railroad Developments to
Be Shortly Announced-Harbor
Contractors Expectant

Hon. T. E. Gibbon, who has been in the
east for the past month on important
railroad and other business, returned
home last night on the Southern Pacific
overland flyer, which arrived at 9:20
O'Clock Although he was in fairly good
health when he left the city, Dec 22d.
his trip has greatly benefited him, as
he has had an opportunity to rest from
his somewhat arduous labors, and he re-
turns ready to resume with renewed
vigor his professional duties, among
which may be considered an active par
t;cipation in the school board investiga-
ton.
Since his departure he has been twice
in st. Louis, twice in Washington and
once in New YORK He has ben kept busy
with important work throughout the en-
tire month. Although he will not dis
cuss the railroad business which called
him east, he intimated last night that
as q result of his trip there will be some
important announcements before very
long, which will be of great interest and
Importance to- the people of this city.
The matter is at present in such shape
as to prevent its being made public.
Although the business which called
Mr.. Gibbon east was not with reference
to San Pedro harbor, he has taken such
an interest in this subject that he took
advantage of the opportunity afforded
him to learn all that he could of it.
Speaking of the matter last night he
said:
Il had the pleasure of meeting a num-
ber of representatives of some of the
largest government contracting firms in
the country and l found that they are all
interested in the San Pedro work. All
of them have either sent in their bids
already or will do so. There will be some
lively competition for this work, and
as a result there will be some good bids
The companies which will bid will be
among the largest corporations engaged
in breakwater and other similar govern
ment work. Many of them are now en-
gagged in such work under government
contract"
asked.
while in Washington 1 saw Senator
White and was assured by him and by
others in position to know what they
were talking about, that there is not the
slightest doubt but that the appropria-
tion for the first years work will be
included in the general appropriation
bill which will be passed at the pres
ent session of congress. The amount of
this appropriation will probably be
100000. Among the contractors and
others interested in the work this matter
is considered settled and no more delays
other than are always to be expected in
contract of this magnitude are ex-
pected."

WEARY AND HUNGRY
JAMES CoNNoR WANTED TO GET
INTO JAIL .
So He Broke the Window of Berman's
Jewelry Store-Forgot the
Chaingang

James Connor, a typical hobo, in order
to break into jail, so as to be assured
of three meals a day and q place to
sleep at night, deliberately threw rail-
road coupling pin through the plate
glass show window of e. Berman's jew
elry store at $40 O'Clock last night and
was Immediately arrested. Although
the crime was committed in the manner
and with the GOODNESS of a professional
thief, Connor's actions after breaking
the glass, the fact that he did not at
tempt to escape and his quiet submis-
sion to arrest, lead to the belief that
his statement made later that he did
not want to steal, but simply wanted
to be arrested, is true and that that
was really his motive.
Berman was standing behind his
counter at the hour mentioned, talking
to friend. who happened to enter the
store. He had noticed roughly dress
ed man walking up and down in front of
his store for nearly half an hour, but it
did not occur to him that the man in

MUSIC NOTES
Little Paloma Schramm's Second Re-
cital at Simpson Auditorium

c1Cdl at SlIupSOu
At her second piano recital last even
ing in Simpson auditorium little Paloma
Schramm strengthened the more than
favorable impression she made at her
debut month ago. Before another
large audience she gave convincing evil
dence in various ways of her genius. In
whatever she plays her proficiency in
phrasing and pedaling, and, above ALL
her beautiful, liquid, round tone, dis
tinguish her performance as remark
able.
Her handling last night of Daquin
quaint "Le Coucou.' the skillfully ex-
pressed voices in Bach's "Gigue," the
dainty brilliancy of Leschetitsky's Les
Deux Alouettes," the delicacy and ten
derness of Schumann's 'Warum," and
the Chopin and Rubenstein numbers,
were all mastery for child of Paloma' S
age. Her own little compositions also
and an improvisation on a theme sent
her from the audience showed glimpses
of a really musical soul, of which great
things may reasonably be expected in
the future.
Miss Myrtle Markson assisted and dis
played pure, true contralto voice OF
considerable, range and sympathetic
quality, which was well under control
In the "Blind Girls Song from LA
Gioconda," sung in Italian, Miss Mark
son showed a very nice dramatic feeling
and two English ballads were given with
clean-cut enunciation and good method
Another recital will be given this after
noon at the same place, for which occa-
sion an equally interesting program has
been prepared.

CoNNoR's BREAK FOR JAIL

tended to attempt to rob his show win
dow. In the window was the usual dis
play of diamonds, watches and a gen.
eral assortment of jewelry. The value
of all the goods In the window was about
$2500, there being several very valuable
diamond rings in the center of the ex-
hibit. Mr.. Berman's friend left the
store and the jeweler started toward the
rear of his place of business, when there
was suddenly crash of breaking glass.
Turning quickly, Mr.. Berman saw the
stranger he had noticed before in the
act of withdrawing his hand from the
show window, in which hole large
enough for a man to crawl through had
been broken. The instrument used to
break the glass was not seen then, but
later it was found in the show VIM
dow. 1t was a common coupling pin,
such as is used on freight cars.
Supposlng. of course, that the motive
of the man was robbery, Mr.. Berman at
once started for the front door. AL
though he was unarmed, he at once
seized the man. The latter made no at
tempt to escape, and had not tried to
take any of the jewelry from the show
case. Instead, he stood in front of the
store, as if waiting for arrest which he
afterward declared was his desire. AS
soon as Mr. Berman seized the man he
began yelling for the police at the top
of his voice Sheriff Burr happened to
be walking along Spring street within
fifty yards of, the place at the time and,
hearing the calls, he turned and ran to
the scene. Mr.. Berman turned his pris-
oner over to the sheriff. Almost as soon
as this had been done officer Matuskiwiz
arrived and took hold of the prisoner.
Let go; amt gon' to rum" said Con-
nor; this is just what wanted
The two officers at once took the pris-
oner to the police station, where he was
searched. Nothing was found on his
person. He gave his name and remarked
that he was now certain of warm
room and sufficient quantity of food,
without working for it.
Some one suggested the possibility
that he might become a member of the
chaingang, when he remarked, with evil
dent disgust: What id fool was
Why didn't go into the country to do
this?"
He was locked up at once. Sheriff
Burr recognized the man as a prisoner
who had been released from the county
Jail only few days ago, where he had
served several weeks for some trivial
offense committed in one of the small
towns in the county. The prisoner re-
fused to state who or what he was before
he came to this city. Asked if the name
he gave was not an assumed one, he
said: "Well, what If 1t is? It's a good
name"

WANT PROTECTION
French olive Growers Object to
Cottonseed Oil

COCCOuSo6Q O1l
PARIS, Jan. 21-Minister of Com
merce NJ Boucjer today received dep
utation representing the manufacturers
and business men of several depart
ments who urged that protective duties
be imposed upon oils and oil seeds. M.
Craux, president of the customs COM
mittee of the chamber of deputies, said
America was swamping the European
markets with cheap oil seeds thereby
causing a big break in the prices of in
dustrial securities.
Therefore. he added, the interests they
represented were joined with the agri-
culturists in asking that measures be
taken to prevent their common ruin. M.
Craux added that the United States
cannot object to any increase in the
duties because they themselves impose
a duty of 73 francs on olive oil, while
we only ask duty of from 20 to rs
francs.
M. Boucher in reply said he was true
to protectionist doctrines, and recog-
nized the danger to French oil works
from this new American competition,
but the government he added, had not
yet deliberated upon the matter, and,
therefore, he could not make any prom
ises. Moreover he could only speak
with the greatest reserve owing to the
negotiations now proceeding with the
United States.
Continuing, M. Boucher remarked:
Nevertheless the question of protec-
tion, which is urged by such an infiuen-
tial deputation merits serious attention,
and the government will not oppose
notifications of customs duties which
the chamber may be disposed to dis
cuss,"
