POOLING THE BUSINESS
OF LIGHTING COMPANIES
Three Los Angeles Corporations May
Soon Arrive at an Under
standing

LOS ANGELES, April Sit is stated
in commercial circles that the recent at
tempts to pool the business of the Los
Angeles Lighting Company, the San
Gabriel Company and the Edison Com
pany, by which they were to district the
city and regulate prices, is still under
consideration. While those interested in
the corporation deny tonight that the
combination has not fully materialized
owing to disagreement among the prin-
cipals as to details, still the departure
of President Barker of the Edison Com
pany for the East tomorrow gives color
to the statement that the trifies which
have been seeming obstacles may be re-
moved by the time he returns.
In connection with this possible pooling
of interests the astounding discovery has
been made that the time in which the
terms of the conduit ordinance should be
obeyed has been by manipulation extend
de from last December until July g. The
last extension asked for was only for
three months, which would expire yester-
day. 1t has been discovered that the or
dinance grants an extension of three
months from April 3. No one at the City
Hall is able to explain how this deferred
date crept into the ordinance. The Edi-
son Company is the only corporation that
has not conduits all underground

mercifully and said that, owing to the
criminal unreadiness of the forces after
the fall Of Iloilo, it was impossible to
overawe the rebels, and, because of sew
eral fragrant breaches of faith, impos-
sible to conciliate them. Murray said:
General Miller gave all the Consuls
in the city warning that unless Iloilo
were given up within a certain time
he would lombard. Twenty-four hours
before the given time he opened fire,
not giving the foreign residents time
to take care of themselves. This
breach of faith on the American gen.
erals part turned foreign residents
against the army and undoubtedly pro-
longed the war.
The American forces. I know from
personal observation, are terribly mis-
managed, but this is partly, due to the
slow arrival of instructions from Wash
ington. The rebels are wretchedly
armed, and with prompt action on the
part of the American generals could
long ago have been subdued. Now the
war will last at least another year, and
1T will require at least $4,000 more
troops to conquer the rebels.
II heard definitely just before I took
the steamer at Manila that General
Otis was to be recalled. The reason for
his recall 1 could not learn. but l heard
from one of the officers that he would
shortly return home.
The stories that the Americans
slaughtered women and children are all
rot.
with forty-nine other foreigners, I
undertook to advise General Miller be-
fore the fight at Iloilo. Had he not
broken faith, there would have been
no bloodshed. l am thoroughly con-
WINGED that if the American troops had
been landed Immediately after the de-
struction of the Spanish fleet there
would have been no land battle. 1 have
interviewed most of the rebel leaders
and know they are determined, able
men. fighting hopelessly. Aguinaldo Is
a weakling and not a true leader. He
leans more to surrender than any Of
his men. Montenegro is the born leader
and the general that is the true leader,
and he alone is responsible for the con-
tinuance of the rebellion.
THE foreign powers will be heard
from if the war lasts much longer. Ow-
ing to General Miller's action they are
very antagonistic. In the northern part
of the islands business is ruined and
many of the foreigners are desperate
over their losses"

TRAIN THE GIRLS
IN HOUSEKEEP INC
Mrs. Weymouth's Advice
to Mothers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PASADENA, April 5.-The second
days session of the Womans Parlia-
ment of Southern California opened
this morning with an increased attend
ance, and at each meeting to-day the
auditorium of the Universalist church
was crowded with people-mostly wo-
men, of course, though there was a
generous sprinkling of men. The pull
pit was freshly decorated with poppies,
roses and palms. The ladies sensibly
removed their hats and late corners
were kept in the vestibule while papers
were being read.
The first paper of to-day's session
was by Mrs. A. B. Weymouth Of
Orange, who took for her subject
Housekeeping as Profession for
Girls" Mrs Weymouth contended that
more attention should be paid to the
training of young girls in the duties
incidental to keeping house, not nece5-
sarily for other people, but for them
selves. She said it was evident girls
nowadays were allowed to neglect this
important branch of education. In the
discussion that followed Mrs. Ella L..
Sessions of Hueneme spoke in line with
with most of her deductions.
Mrs. Sessions of Hueneme and Mrs.
Hughes of Iowa led the discussion,
bringing out the point that girls were
unwilling to engage in homework out
side of their own homes because they
felt they would not be respected in such
positions and because they had less lib
erty than in other lines of work.
DR.. Black of Los Angeles denied that
housekeeping required more brains, but
said it required Willingness. Dr. Black
criticized woman's tendency to think
lightly of mems work.
A resolution, introduced by Mrs.
Caroline NJ. Severance of Los Angeles,
was adopted, committing the parlia-
ment to the approval of the efforts
leading to a perpetual peace, In line
with the action of the women of the
East, who are hoping for the coming
of an era of universal brotherhood.
The resolution commended the coming
convention at The Hague and hoped
that the Cars disarmament PROPOSE
ton will be accepted by the world, and
that there would be no more war.
The afternoon programme included a
paper on Child Study for Women
Clubs" by Miss Virginia Pease OF Ma
tional CITY, There was spirited ad-
dress on 1.-The Municipality and the In
dividual." by Mrs. Lou V. Chaplin, in
which she took the position that So
cialism meant not liberty, but despot-
ism; that municipal ownership of utili-
ties in this country was dangerous, for
the reason that City Councilman now
grow rich in unsalaried positions. Mrs
Mary Darling read a paper on JOppor-
tunities for the Middle Aged Woman,
after which the members OF the parlla-
rnent were taken for a drive by the
Board of Trade.
This evening reception was held for
the members of Women's Fraternal So
cieties, only members of secret socie-
ties being admitted. This closed one
of the most successful sessions of the
Womafl's Parliament yet held in South
ern California.

FORMAL INVITATIONS TO
THE PEACE CONFERENCE
They Will Be Issued To-Day Through
Various Ministers, but Bulgaria
Is SIGHTED.

NEW YORK, April 5.-A special cable
TO the Sun from The Hague says: For
NAL invitations to attend the peace
conference will be issued tomorrow
through the Ministers to the Neither
lands of Great Britain, Russia, Ger
many. Austria, France, Italy. Turkey,
Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark
Belgium, Luxembourg, Servia, Rou-
mania, Montenegro, Greece, Switzer-
land, United States, Siam. Persia,
China and Japan. The note of invita-
ton remarks that only questions speci-
fed in the second Russian circular
will be discussed. All national political
questions will be vigorously excluded.
Bulgarias dignity has been wounded
by her omission from the list of nations
invited TO attend the peace conference
at The Hague, which includes other
Balkan States. She ascribes her omis-
sion to the ill-will of the Porte, which
she believes has influenced Russia
against her There is reason to be-
lieve, however, that Bulgaria will
eventually be invited to take part in
the conference, though it may depend
on her behavior during the next few
weeks in connection with the threat
ened Macedonian troubles.

CENTRAL PACIFIC WILL
CONVEY THE SOLDIERS

LOS ANGELES. April 5.-The quarter
masters department of the United States
army will in a few days open bids for the
transportation of 5000 officers and men to
San Francisco, there to take ship for the
Philippine Islands to take the place of
volunteers near Manila. Santa Fe will
not bid for this transportation. 1t looks
like an exceptionally fat contract, but in
reality carries little or no money, and
only land-grant road is able to do the
hauling. When bids for the taking of the
First New York were asked a short time
ago the Santa Fe made a bid to carry
that regiment East. The contract was
given to the Central Pacific and its con-
nections. The Santa Fe people here say
they do not care to carry passengers at
the figures allowed, as the Government
demands that the soldiers be carried in
battalions in special trains.
Thousands of soldiers will be hauled to
and from San Francisco before the
trouble in the Philippine Islands is ended,
and as soon as the Government lien on
the Central Pacific has been lifted and
that line become part of the Southern

competition will bring other lines into the

MISS SLOANE IS
HAMMOND'S BRIDE
Fashionable Wedding in
St. BarthOlOmeW'S.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 5.-With all the
elaborate ceremony that characterizes
church weddings, Miss Emily Wander
bilt Sloane, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Douglas Sloane, was married
TO John H. Hammond to-day at noon
in St Bartholomew Church. Not
withstanding the expressed desire Of
the bride and her family for quiet
wedding. the avenue for a block in
either direction from the church held
an immense throng which threatened
at times to prevent the arrival of
guests carriages. In order to relieve
the crush, the police drove the crowd
back to the block above the church
and to the block below, thus leaving
the street clear in front of the en-
trance.
At II a. m. guests began to arrive,
and Just before the approach of the
bridal party the church was crowded
and guests stood in the aisles. The
four front pews on either side OF the
center were reserved for the members

Already the wedding music from
"Lohengrin" was heard when one of
the attendants ordered the workmen to
take down both arch and bell. This
was done just a few seconds before
the bride, her father and her attend
ants entered. They knew nothing of
what had happened. The bridegroom

were waiting at the altar. The maid Of
honor was Miss Lila Vanderbilt Sloane.
q sister of the bride.
The interior of the church was
adorned with roses, lilies and garlands
of orange leaves and smilax while
palms and azaleas added beauty. The
dark marble pillars were hidden by
ropes Of greens bound with lilies and
upon the capitals Of each column were
great punches of white Easter flowers.
At the chancel rail there was a solid
bank Of azaleas and lilies in shades Of
pink and white. The lecturn. pulpit
and choir stalls were wound with ropes
of laurel and lilies, while beyond was

Thus they move through hard rubber

Lieutenant Squire estimates that the
waves travel at the rate of 1S6, 900 miles
a second. At this rate they could
reach the sun in eight minutes. In
time of war, Lieutenant Squire states,
it is possible to fire a gun 500 yards
away by means of a spark thrown that
distance.
Experiments in transmitting mes
sages thus far have been very limited,
as the instruments were received a
few days ago. The instruments used
are the finest that could be obtained.
The messages so far sent have been re-
ceived without difficulty. The appli-
ances include an ordinary battery and
Morse electromagnetic. When the key
is pressed a current flashes between
two brass globes, causing a spark and
setting the electric waves in motion.
Whenever the sender desires to get in
communication with. the receiver the
pressing of a key causes a bell to ring
calling attention to the instrument.

SUCCESSFUL in
COMMUNICATING
WITHOUT WIRES
Officers Of the Signal Corps Will
FLASH Messages From WASH
ington to Fort Meyer.

NEW YORK, April 5-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: 1t is
the confident expectation of the officers
of the signal corps of the army that
within short time messages can be
flashed to and from the War Depart
ment to Fort Myer. five miles away,
without the aid of wires.
Important experiments already made
at Fort Myer by Colonel James Allen,
now acting chief of the signal corps,
and Lieutenant George o. Squire have
demonstrated that 1t is practicable to
transmit messages by means of cleo
trio waves produced in the manner en-
ployed by Marconi. These officers have
found that at a distance of 1000 yards
they can telegraph any message. and
1t is intended to increase the distance
gradually until the War Department
and Fort Myer are connected.
Lieutenant Squire told me to-day
that he was much gratified at the re-
suits Of the experiments and he be-
lieves that when the experimental
stage has been passed the system will
be of much value for working between
the shore and lighthouses, commune
eating between vessels at sea and for
marine work generally.
Perhaps the most important demon
stration so far made has been the i'm
possibility of exploding a magazine on
board a modern ship by means Of the
electric waves. Lieutenant Squire said
that in the first place 1t would be neces-
sary to have an operator on board the
ship to be destroyed, and even then it
would be impossible to transmit wave
through iron. The placing of the in
strument in an iron cage will prevent
waves from reaching their destination
and a zinc screen also stops them. On
account of the length of the waves
their energies are absorbed differently
by different substances. Thus water
and metal absorb all their energy;

lands, seas and many volcanoes.
One officer, Lieutenant Dance, who

OBTAINED A LOAN BY
PROMISING TO MARRY
Charge Filed Against T. r. Jameson
in Suit Brought by Wealthy
Widow

SEATTLE, April 5-Rachael It. Hemp
son, wealthy widow, has begun suit
here against T. r. Jameson to recover
$4,000 which she says she loaned him on his
promise to marry her. In her complaint
she alleges that she met the defendant
in San Francisco in November, 1897, and
they became good friends. Jameson was
very attentive to her and called at her
home at least once a week. After a num-
Der of months he proposed marriage and
was accepted. The wedding day was set
and the plaintiff began preparing for the
event.
Shortly after the engagement, she says,
jameson came to her and represented
that he needed money to continue his
business He said he was a manufacturer
of surgical instruments. The confiding
widow let him have $4,000, and she has not
seen him since. She has learned, how
ever, that he was the owner of a number
of lots near Lake Union, in this city and
for this reason she brings the suit here.

PORTUGUESE FOR
HAWAIIAN PLANTATIONS
Secret Movement Afoot to Import
Thousands of Contract
Laborers

TACOMA, April 5.-Private advices
received to-day from Honolulu state a
secret movement is under way in Ha-
wait to flood the islands with Portu-
guese laborers from the Azores Islands.
There will be from 5000 to 10000 i'm
ported as soon as arrangements can
be completed, unless the plan is fore
stalled. They will probably be brought
by Italian warships by way of Cape
Horn, but it is possible they will come
overland by way of Tacoma. if ships
can be found to carry them.
This enterprise is the result of the
approach of exclusion of japanese by
the United States contract labor laws.
Secrecy has been preserved to prevent
opposition on the ground that 1t is a
scheme to evade contract labor laws.
The Portuguese probably will be i'm
ported as free immigrants.
