WOMAN FEIGNS SLEEP;
THEN SHOOTS BURGLAR
She Lies Still While Masked Man
Flashed Light Into Her

OAKMONT, Pa, Aug. 13.-The home
of e. R. Monroe of this place was en-
tered by burglars this morning, and
one was shot and wounded by Mrs.
Monroe. The injured man limped away,
leaving a trail of blood.
Mrs. Monroe was aroused about
o'clock by footsteps in her room. She
remained quiet, as her husband was
asleep in the adjoining room.
The man went through the cupboards
and drawers, and stepping UP to the
bedside flashed the lantern into the face
Of Mrs. Monroe.
AS soon as the man stepped into the
hall she procured a revolver from
drawer, and going to the head of the
stairs fired two shots at the disappear
ing burglar, who with a scream
dropped his lantern and fed out of a
window.

Promoters Of the enterprise are san
guine Of success in awakening the mer-
chants Of the southern republics to
the advantages Of opening trade rela-
tions with Los Angeles and as several
of the stockholders are owners Of min

steamship route, buying their supplies
at the present time in San Francisco
and making shipments to that mar
ket, It is expected that sufficient busi-
ness will result from these stockhold-
ers to justify the establishment Of the
line.
In addition to this, the Mexican gov
ernment has promised subsidy and
valuable concessions to the company
when ever the line is established. The
Mexican government is the inspiration
of the movement, and capitalists of
that nation are stockholders in the
company now being organized.
Plans Are Complete
The plans Of the company organizing
for the floating exposition" enterprise
are announced, as complete and mere

The Rev. Mr.. McPeak of Port Huron,
Mich, was recently elected pastor, but
a protest has been filed against the call.
Five objections are made. including

found that there were only ninety-two
present and six or more Of them not

WOMAN HAS RIGHT TO
KICK HIGH AT HOME
So Decides New York Magistrate in
Case Brought by
Iani&nH

Janltor
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Any young
woman has a right to practice high
kicking in her own home, and those
who do not like to see her kick need
not look at her.
So Magistrate Mayo laid the law
down in the Harlem police court in the
case of Anton Pout, janitor of No. 25
Mount Morris Park West. Pout was
summoned to court by Mr. and Mrs.
Anton Fuest and their pretty daughter
Helma, eighteen years old, a dancer
en- the stage. They complained that
the janitor bothered them continually.
Pout tried to justify his conduct by
saying:
1.-THE daughter kicks all over their
fiat. and people come and look in at the
windows"
The learned magistrate then declared
that a woman, young or old. has a
right to kick. high or low in her own
home, and he warned Pout to quit pout-
ing at Miss Helma.

EXPOSITION SHIP PLANS
APPROACHING COMPLETION
INCORPORATION PAPERS BEING PREPARED
Stockholders and Arrange for Expedition Down Pacific
Coast-President Be Invited to Appoint Government
Observation-Disclosures Diaz Interested

Promoters of the floating exposi-
ton" company, which is being organ
lied to send a ship laden with dis
play of manufactured products of
Southern California to the ports along
the southern coast of the Pacific met
Saturday afternoon at the temporary
headquarters of the company in the
Hellman building and discussed the
plans of the enterprise.
Immediately after the meeting, it
was announced that a proposition had
been considered for the lease of one
of the largest ships now on the Pa
cific coast and the lease would be
signed during this week.
1t was also stated that Incorporation
papers are being prepared by an at
torney, who is counsel for one of the
biggest transportation companies on
the Pacific coast, and would be filed
within week or ten days. The cap
ital stock is $1,000,000 and is said to be
fully subscribed. The names of the
stockholders will be made public in
the announcement OF the company, fol-
lowing the filing of the papers.
It is asserted that President Diaz of
Mexico is deeply interested in the
movement to establish a steamship
connection between Pacific coast ports
in Mexico and Los Angeles and has ex-
pressed his encouragement of the
project to the company through the
Mexican stockholders in the enter
prise.
1t is expected that he will give a
public expression Of his interest by Wis
iting the floating exposition" at one
of the ports on the coast of Mexico.
itinerary of Ship
One of the questions settled at the
conference was the itinerary of the
ship down the coast. The expedition
will leave San Pedro harbor as soon
after October 1 as all exhibits can be
installed. From San Pedro, the ship
will proceed down the coast of the
peninsula of Lower California and up
the Gulf of California to Guaymas,
stops being made at Agiabompo and
other points in Sinaloa.
At Manzanilo a stop of several days
is planned, the party making an ex-
cursion to Guadalajara, ''the Paris of
the western hemisphere" and to the
volcano of Colima, which is now in
eruption.
All ports in Guatemala, Salvador,
Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
Panama will be included in the calls
of the floating exposition" 1t is ex-
pected that the trip will consume six
weeks.

AMERICAN FOR A TITAN
Negotiations for Portrait Of Cardinal
Bembo Are Practically
Closed

bemDO Arc FTdCtlCdily
Closed
Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Aug. 13.-It Is understood
that negotiations have been virtually,
but not absolutely, completed for the
purchase by an American Of Titian's
portrait Of Cardinal Bembo for SIPS, 900.
Also, 1t is said, that Titian's portrait
of Aretino will be sold; but this is as
yet doubtful. A high art authority says
that the Aretino portrait is likely to go
to America, while another authority
declares that it has been bought for
the National gallery in London for
$150,0O0.
Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke, director
of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art,
says that the portrait of Cardinal Benz
bo is one of the finest Titians extant,
and that if 1t is bought by private
American it ought to be placed in a
museum.
He points out that on the average fire
destroys one valuable collection of
paintings in England annually, for
which reason many English collectors
are now content to have copies of their
pictures in their homes, conf1ding the
originals to the safe keeping of public
galleries

THE LINsEED OIL MONOPOLY

Recent advices are to the effect that the Standard
Oil company-or John D. Rockefeller, which is pract
cay the thing-has cornered the faxseed market
and has monopoly of the lnseed oil business
Confirmation is afforded by the closing down of the
last independent nseed mill.
The fact naturally gives rise to the query How is
done? What makes it possible for interest so to
manipulate conditions that it obtain absolute
of natural product of the soil and handle it in
defiance of ordinary rules?
How has it been possible for Rockefeller to obtain
control of the axseed market to such extent? The
yield is 20 900 900 bushels from which total of
1000 900 barrels of lnseed oil produced annually
And the to the question only be: Through

crush out rivals pay for the than the

CuTTING nae REn TAPr

The president Of these United States has done some
startling stunts in his day nothing he has attempted
has startled the powers that be than his avowed
intention to cut the red tape that enmeshes the wheels
Of government and clogs their turnings
Very bravely has our president tackled this Brob.
dignagan task and very vigorously his promulsaon
thereabouts. Let us take look at the methods en-
ployed to achieve this desirable result and note
the progress made.

commission Of par excellence has met and

departments Here is sample:
Are persons in department engaged in prepar-
ing decisions for ministerial approval who without
pert and practical knowledge Of actual conditions affecting

This will naturally by the head Of the department
be referred to bureau chief Thence it will go to

Then the wheels will be reversed and back it will go

the division chiefs finally the head of the depart
ment and eventually the red tape commission. With
score documents attached it will then
be up to the commission to whether not it is any
wiser than when it began.
And there LOG similar questions.
And everyone will in result prove that there is
red tape Because the first who admits that there

will be looking for work. The red tape commission will

Invited Guests
1t is planned to invite the president
to send a cabinet officer or represen-
tative with the expedition to extend
greetings from the United States to
the countries visited. Governor Par
dee will also be invited to accompany
the expedition as will California's
United States senators.
Representatives of the Los Angeles
municipal government, chamber of
commerce. Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, Associated Jobbers,
Municipal league and other Industrial
and business organizations, San Pedro
chamber of commerce and municipal
government and representatives of the
local press will be invited to make the
trip as guests of the company.
In addition to the invited guests,
representatives of the exhibitors and
statesmen will accompany the expedi-
ton. Accommodations will be reserved
for $50 guests.
Foreign Concessions
1t was announced that correspon-
dence was in progress with several
countries which will be visited and 1t
is expected that concessions will be ex
tended to the officials, permitting the
free entry of the exhibit to all ports
which it is desired to visit.
Capitalists of Mexico one of whom
is an official of the government, are
subscribers to stock in the company
and already valuable concessions from
that nation have been secured, with
more valuable and important conces-
sions promised when the steamship line
is inaugurated.
1t was stated by one of the stock
holders, who Is taking an active part in
the formation of the company, that
the company would increase its capital
when the proposition of establishing
a steamship line was undertaken, the
proposed capitalization at that time
being $5,0OO,0O0.
The promoters are sanguine of the
success of the expedition in opening
trade relations between Los Angeles
and the tropics and If their plans do
not miscarry. the steamship project
will be speedily pushed to organization
by the first of the year.
Steamship Line
No definite plan for the steamship
line has been agreed upon yet, because
the organization of the company for
that purpose depends upon the sue
cess of the floating exposition" But

been informally discussed and the gem
