New Era In Trans Pacific Transportation
The Great Northern Steamship COM
pany in placing in service between
Seattle, WASH, and Yokahoma,
Nagasa XII, Kobe, Shanghai and Hong
Kong, the magnificent American built
steamships the Minnesota and the
Dakota, - marks new era in trans
portation facilities between the United
States and the Orient. These magni-
ficent steamships with their superior
facilities in handling immense freight
cargoes and the luxurious appoint
ments for passenger travel has given
an impetus to our Oriental trade. The
North Pacific Route to the Orient is
rapidly becoming the popular one and
now that the two palatial steamships,
Minnesota" and ''Dakota" have
been put in commission, there is no
question but that a further greater in
crease in our trade with the Orient as
we'll as increased passenger travel to
Asiatic ports will be inaugurated.
The first sailing of the Minnesota, +"
in addition to carrying the largest
cargo to the Orient ever carried by
any ship in the world. as we'll as an
extensive passenger list, augurs we'll
for the future. a..
The minnesota will sail On it's
next voyage to the Orient on Satur-
day, April Goth, and it will not be
amiss to say here that the excellence
of her passenger accommodations will
be heralded to the travelling public of
the United States by all who enjoyed
the pleasant voyage across the Pa
ciic on her first trip, as furnishing
the acme of travel comfort. The fact
that the superior accommodations of
the Great Northern Steamship Com
pany in connection with the comfort
able journey afforded by the Great
Northern Railway to Seattle, the sail
ing point of the Minnesota" will
make this route the popular one from
occident to Orient.

Features of the Noveltv

Senior Arnoldo's leopards, jaguars and
panthers are shown in a performance
at the Novelty this week that is most
remarkable. They are put through a
series of acts that have heretofore
seemed impossible with beasts of this
character and yet they appeared en-
tirely docile and showed astounding in
telligence. When Senior Arnoldo held
one of the leopards around his neck the
spectators gasped at his daring. At
times they showed fight and then the
audience has an illustration of the SUI
periority of mems WIFI power over that
of wild beasts. for Arnoldo never failed
to bring about obedience to his COM
mands, though there We're moments
when the suspense was intense. 1t is
one of the cleverest acts ever put on
in vaudeville theater. Another fea-
ture of the bill this week is the royal

ESMONDE'S SMILE FEATURE
OF NEW BILL AT ORPHEUM

When mans smile can bring him
fame as an artist of the vaudeville
stage it ought to be worth while going
to see that smile. Such a smile is at
the Orpheum this week. Attached to it
to Edward Esmonde, who, with his
wife and J. G.. Staff, offer one of the
cleverest little playlets of the season.
Esmonde appears in Another Gu
cumber," a melodrama, romance of
the great white north 1t is story of
a great hearted man. whose love for
his friend far exceeds every other
thought. And when he smiled last
night. his lips drawn wide and his
white teeth flashing, the audience gave
him an ovation.
The three Sisters Mecarte, probably
the cleverest all-round acrobats and
aeralsts on the vaudeville stage. offer
another attraction on the new bill.
The young women have appeared at
every theater of prominence in the
world. The chief feature of the act is
for one of the sisters to do the fire
dance on a rope held in the teeth of
the other two.
Prelles European Novelty, the old
time favorite of the children, is again
at the Orpheum. The little dogs and
ponies in the show have a number of
wonderful new tricks.
Signorina Verera, the italian night
ingale proved her claim to that title
last night, and won praise from her
audience.

still hold forth their enchanting non

BOYCOTT CAUSES CONCERN
Affairs in China Give State Depart
ment More Worry Than Is Gen.
orally Understood
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington, D. c.,
says: More concern is felt by the ad-
ministration regarding the general sit
uation of affairs in China than is un-
derstood by the American people. In
spite of the assurance which Sir Chen
Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese min
lister, gave in his speech at Chicago
Saturday night, that his government
and it's subjects were naturally most
friendly inclined" towards Americans
and their interests, Secretary Root has
deemed 1t advisable to warn the au-
thorities of Pelling against propa-
ganda, such as that which was OBJ
served during the boycott agitation.
To impress the natives of the south
ern provinces, in one of which, Kwan-
tung, five American missionaries were
murdered some days ago. Rear Admiral
Train, commander-in-ch chief of the Ash
attic fleet, is collecting a strong force
in the vicinity of Canton.
He cabled the state department early
Sunday that he had left Shanghai with
the battleship Ohio and the transport
General Alava, which has arms
aboard.
A general uprising against foreigners
such as occurred during the Boxer out
break, is not apprehended. But the
boycott movement, initiated last sum-
mer, has gained such headway that it
has been found almost impossible to
check it.

MAYOR NOT READY TO TRY
J0HNSON'S METHOD
Head of Associated Charities Says
Some Measures Should Be Taken,
but Wishes Others to do
Experimenting

City officials in Los Angeles do not
approve of the methods employed by
Mayor T. L. Johnson Of Cleveland,
Ohio, to decrease the number of sui
cides in that city. The mayor of
Cleveland appointed a committee COM
posed of Director of Charities Cooley;
A. A. Greenlund, member of the
charity bureau, and State Senator
elect F. c. Howe, whose work it is to
persuade unfortunate people not to
commit suicide. All people in Cleveland
who are contemplating suicide have
been invited to write to the commits
sion and tell, confldentially, their
trouble. The commission will try to
remove the trouble and persuade the
unfortunate one that it is better to
live
The cause of the action on the part
of the mayor of Cleveland is the fact
that during the last nine months sixty
eight suicides occurred in the city
Coroner Trout's figures show that in
ten months sixty-seven persons COM
mitted suicide in Los Angeles. The
population of Cleveland according to

MAY ABOLISH FOOTBALL GAME
National Association of Presidents OF
Universities Are to Discuss
Project Today
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The ques-
tion of abolishing or modifying inter-
collegiate football, in view of public
criticism of the brutal features of the
game, will probably be considered at
the tenth annual meeting of the ma
tional association of presidents of state
universities which opens here today.
Another subject to be taken up will
be the question Of graduate studies.
Some of the universities maintain
graduate departments and the repre-
sentatives hope to map out some def
mite policy in regard to this branch
of state university work.
The two discussions on this subject
will be opened by President Ayers of
te University of Pennsylvania and
President Bryan of the University of
Indiana.
The meeting includes with few ex-
ceptions the executives Of all the state
universities who meet for the discus
sion Of important questions relating to
the administration Of such institutions
The sessions close Tuesday and the
meeting of the association of agricul-
tural colleges and experiment stations
will open and continue until Tuesday.
The two associations are nearly related
and always meet at the same time and
place.

PRESENT PLAY
OF WESTERN LIFE
"THE COWBOY AND THE LADY"
AT THE BELASC0
Colorado story Well Portrayed by
Stock company-MIss Virginia
Brlssac and Joseph Galbralth
Carry Off the Honors

1t is by such plays as THE Cowboy
and the Lady" that Clyde Fitch has
won his high place as the foremost
playwright of America, and in pre-
senting dramas of this class the Be-
lasco management is assured of a sue
cessful seven days. Whenever this
theater overcomes the difficulty of Sc
curing a suitable play, the players
manage the rest, and the best that
the stage has to offer is given at a
moderate price.
These efforts deserve advertisement
and too much cannot be said in praise
Of such work.
1.-THE Cowboy and the Lady" is a
Colorado story with the pictureque
features of the region properly en-
phasized. The Belasco players fell into
a series of Remington pictures the first
night with grace and ease which sug-
gested extra rehearsals. The scenery
in the first and second acts indicates
that the scenic artist Is probably an
ex-cowboy. The second act represent
ing the dance hall is especially we'll
arranged. The lamps on the wall and
the bar at the side are suggestive fea-
lures. Even Molly is so perfect that
a character in the play. Praise for this
clever work is due to Adele Earring
ton, who gives in this character her
first successful impersonation in Los
Angeles.
"Mldge" was undoubtedly the great
est feature of the performance. Miss
Brissac paints her characters with sure
certain strokes and acts with a re-
serve force that will not allow her to
fail In anything. She is the best in
genue ever presented by the Belascc
company.
Joseph Galbraith returns and accom-
plishes his usual triumph. He is bet
ter than ever in this play, and shows
remarkable resemblance to his prede-
cessor in the role, Nat Goodwin. Miss
Eugene That's Lawton is also in role
which shows the actress to far better
advantage than anything she has done
since her engagement here as leading
woman.
Most of the players ought to be men,
toned for excellent work. William
Bernard is a capital william. Howard
Scott presents his usual clever art as
an Indian. Eugene Mockbee comes
suddenly to the front and bids fair to
make a matinee hero of himself.
Robert Dempster is too nice in his
role of district attorney, but dis
tinguishes it with an easy professional
manner. William YerAnce Richard
Vivian, Louise Royce and Jessie Nor
man are all good. Miss Helen Eator
has several lines in this play which

ORANGES C0L0RING SLOWLY
Railroad Officials Say Shipments Are
Lieht-VegetabIes Moving
Rapidly

According to railroad officials the
number of cars of oranges shipped east
so far this year has been very few, and
what have been shipped have come
from Orange county, with few from
Riverside and Redlands. 1t seems that
on account of the weather the oranges
are not coloring as fast nor as early
as usual.
The rains last week were very bene-
ficial to vegetable life and the gardens
and ranches have taken on a revived
appearance. The quantity Of vegetables
now being shipped for the eastern trade
is large and fully equal to the ship
ments to date of other years, say rail-
road officials.

SUICIDE RATE IN LOS ANGELES
GREATER THAN In CLEVELAND

mayor became alarmed and took steps
to decrease the number. Mayor Nc
Aleer, when his attention was called
to the large number of suicides in Los
Angeles in comparison to the num-
ber in Cleveland, said:
do you think I have time to think
about such things as that? I have no
opinion to express, because l have
never thought of the subject"
T. J. Stuart, secretary of Associated
charities, when asked what he thought
of the action of the mayor Of Cleveland
said:
"It is better to let others try first
and then if the scheme is success
we can take it up. 1 do not think that
many of the suicides are due to lack
of employment. A very low percent
age of those asking help commit sui
eide. 1t Is more often those who have
failed in a love affair or who have
another reason equally as hard to re-
move who kill themselves.
"There are many people coming to
California in the hope of being cured
of tuberculosis and who after they
arrive here need help, but I never hear
of any Of them committing suicide.
'The course may be all right, but
L do not think the mayor is the proper
one to appoint the committee.
"a committee like this one, if the
matter Is considered, should be ap.
pointed by the courts. The sanity of
the persons who commit suicide is a
thing that should be inquired into more
than a method of persuading them not
to kill themselves.
'I do not know that anything could
be done to decrease the number of sui
cides in this city. The cause of the
large number in comparison to other
places might be Investigated. I am not
prepared to suggest a method.
''It is a fact, 1 believe, that more
persons comparatively speaking, ask
for help in Los Angeles than in any of
the eastern cities"
