MISTAKEN ROUTE
RAILROAD PASSENGER AGENT
 MADE A BLUNDER.
Two Ladies Travelling from Miehigar to wilmington, N. C., Had Tick
 cts by Way ef Pensa- cola. Fla.

The mistake of a railroad passenger agent gave two aged ladies who reach ed Montgomery yesterday morning on southbound Louisville and Nashville train No. l considerable annoyance.
 The ladies were en route to Whining ton, N. C., and the passenger agent routed them without any regard to the topography of the country.
 Way up in Michigan there is a pas senger agent. Up in the same State of Michigan were two old ladies and a small boy, the grandson of one of them. who wanted to journey down to Wilmington, N. C.
 "oh. yes. madam" piped the passen- ger agent in the State of Michigan. T can fix you up all right; send you to Wilmington by the most direct route and in the quickest. most comfortable way"
 With trust and faith that was beau tiful the dear old ladies allowed the passenger man to fix them," accept ing the long blanket tickets without question. and put them safely away in their quaint old pocketbooks.
 Finally they started on their journey. They had been routed by way of Gin cinnati and Louisville and down the Louisville and Nashville. Now. here was where the passenger agent was shining. Instead of sending them in the proper direction from Nashville he had routed the tickets by way of Mont gomery and down the Louisville and Nashville, via Flomaton. Pensacola and on to River Junction. At River Junc- ton they were to double, go East once more and after devious turnings and twistings get an Atlantic Coast Line train to Wilmington.
 Just after leaving Nashville yester- day morning the train conductor in looking over the tickets saw the error that had been made in the routing. The ladies were in despair when informed of the struggling. roundabout journey and useless, waste of time. Comforting them with reassuring words, the con- ductor sent a telegram to Travelling Passenger Agent Walter Beasley at the Union Station in Montgomery. Before the train reached Montgomery yester- day morning MT. Beasley had rectified the mistake as far as possible, and in- stead of having to go on to River Junction the ladies left the Louisville and Nashville train in Montgomery. They were routed over the Atlantic Coast Line from Montgomery to Thom- asville, Ga, where they will get direct connection with Coast Line train for Wilmington.
 The ladies left Montgomery on the Coast Line train at 7:45 o'clock last night, grateful to the Louisville and Nashville Company and profuse in their thanks.
 The charitable conclusion is that the Michigan passenger agent thought that as Wilmington was the headquarters of the Coast Line. the Coast Line hav- l ing absorbed the Louisville and Nash vile. one route would be the same as the other.
 Several railroad men in this section are thinking of taking up a collection to send him to night school, where he may develop some knowledge of ge- ography.

SEWING MACHINE AGENTS
HAVE DECLARED STRIKE
Among Other Thingo They Demand
Restoration of Recently Abol-
ished Commissions
Bg Assoclated Press.

by Associated lrcSS
NEW YORK Jan. 3.-Sewing ma
chine agents to the number of 200 have
decided to inaugurate a strike here.
Nothing of the kind has ever occurred
before in the profession and no union
had been thought necessary.
Recently the agents determined that
their grievances were in need Of ad-
justment and called a meeting which
resulted in the call for a strike. They
demand the restoration of commissions
recently abolished and readjustment Of
the system whereby they are held lia-
BILE to the companies when dishonest
purchasers, who buy machines on the
installment plan, suddenly leave for
parts unknown with the machines only
partly paid for.
The strikers say that they have to
give bond of $3.50 each before they
can be employed as agents. This, they
think, ought to be enough. without
holding them responsible for lost ma
chimes.

Ninety Employees of Southern caIifor-

Not Accept New Schedule

Ninety employees of the Southern
California Hardwood Manufacturing
company who have been employed in
the planning and finishing mill went on
a strike yesterday The trouble was
caused by a notice that they should
work nine hours a day.

eral days ago and when the employees,
all of whom are union men, asked for
the eight hour working day or else u
corresponding increase in wages and
were refused any satisfaction they
threw down their tools and left the fac
tory. Unless officers of the Carpenters
district council effect a settlement the
men say they are prepared for a long
and bitter fight.

BROADWAY CLERKS
ATTEND THEATER.
ARTHUR LET'S ENTERTAINS
HIS EMPLOYEES
Eight Hundred "Don't Worry" People
Form Joyous Party
at Vaudeville
House

Arthur Let's, proprietor of the
Broadway Department store, enter
tanned all of his employees at the Or
pheum last night and that popular
playhouse has rarely been filled with a
more appreciative audience. The en-
tire lower floor, all the boxes and half
of the balcony had been engaged and
the eight hundred clerks, with the Mrs
Clerks and little clerks made a joyful
party.
The Let's family occupied one of the
lower boxes, while the remainder were
filled with the cash" children and bun
die wrappers. The proprietor of the
"don't worry" store is a firm believer
in the old adage that 'all work and no
play, etc." and takes many opportuni-
ties to make life more pleasant for
those who are in his employ.
Every year several outings are
planned when the entire force with
their families, if they have them, are
entertained. The theater party is a
regular New Years feature.
These outings nave tended to bring
employer and employe closer together
and above all have made the entire
force of the great department store
absolutely loyal to Mr.. Let's. This
fact was apparent last night, for on
every side pretty girls We're boasting
they worked for the most generous pro-
prietor in Los Angeles.
Throughout the entire evening the
entertainers on the stage discussed the
broadway" and used to good advan-
tage the famous Don't Worry" and
"Watch us Grow" Some of these
came near being funny, but good, bad
and Indifferent were applauded until
the house shook.
Hermann the Great carried off the
honors of the evening, however, when
he undertook to show the girls how to
change the shade or color of hand
kerchief to any shade a customer might
wish by simply passing it through a
tube of rolled white paper. The ma
gician slowly rolled the tube and went
through the trick slowly. he called it,
so the girls would know exactly how
to do it. AS usual he ended with,
"Now you can do it tomorrow at the
store"

SAYS TONOPAH
NOT UNSANITARY
EMIL SUTR0 DENIES STORIES
OF PESTlLENCE
Asserts Mining Camps Are We'll
Conducted and HeaIthy-Predicts
Great Boom In
Spring

Emil Sutro, one of the most prorni-
nent mining men Of Tonopah and Gold
field. arrived In Los Angeles yester-
day. and in answer to questions regard
ing the terrible conditions reported to
exist at the mines says such stories
are false.
"These stories which some of the pa
pers have been printing about the con-
ditions existing in the camp are great
ly exaggerated" says Sutro. "The first
influx of gold seekers into the new
field were the westerners who had
learned by long experience that sanl-
tary conditions must be maintained.
When the age of the two towns is
considered with their population reach
ing into the thousands the sanitary
conditions are remarkably good.
"There are Of course some cases of
pneumonia and few of smallpox, but
their number has been greatly magni-
fed, and there have been no more
deaths than in any other camp of the
same size. E0
'There is absolutely no shortage of
food, as the railroad company has al
ways handled foodstuffs before the
heavier freight was touched. At the
present time heavy freight is tied up,
but the company expects to break this
blockade soon. In either camp one can
not only get enough to eat but enjoy
all the comforts which are to be had
in the city.
Plenty of Money
"Tonopah has now a population Of
five or six thousand people while
Goldfleld is still larger. The older
town has two banks with branches in
Goldfield which are doing well as there
seems to be plenty OF money. Wages
are high and labor conditions general
ly good.
lin both camps there are good ply
sicians so that the sick are cared for.
Newspapers have been established and
indeed we have all the necessities and
comforts of life in Tonopah. Another
remarkable thing for so young min
ing camp is the small number of
crimes which are committed.
"The railroad company is engaged at
the present tlme III Droau-gauBlnS ltS
line in expectation of a great rush i'll
the spring. This will make the camps
quite easy Of access.
From the Indications / think that
at the close of the winter we will have
a record breaking influx of gold seek
ers which will not only make the new
camp the greatest in the world, but L
think it will staE the greatest mining
boom in the worlds history"
