NV Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-In its latest cir
cular the Interstate commerce commits
sion has given the railroads an i'm
portant hint on through rates.
The circular modifies to an extent
one issued October ~ i'm which per.
mission was given the railroads to re-
duce on single days notice the
through rates, where they are greater
than the sums of the local rates Ship
pers set up a cry against this and said
il did not afford them any relief in
such cases. adding that the commits
sion shall declare the sums of the locals
to be the through rates in such cases.
The commission now states that it
has no power to fix such rule except
on complaint, but the railroads are
warned that on such cases being
brought to it's attention it will regard
the sums of the locals as prtma facie
evidence that the through rate is exces-
sive and unreasonable.
The circular also places the approval
of the commission on the issuance of
free transportation to caretakers of
live stock and fruit and declares that
the term fruit" will be taken to in
clude all classes of vegetables and
perishable products which need such
caretakers EN- route. 1t also says
transportation may be given for such
caretakers to return to their homes.

WOMAN SAYS She
IS KLEPTOMAN|AC
WILL BE SENTENCED ON ONE
CHARGE
Asserts She Supports Her Husband by
Petty Thefts, Although He
Wants Her to Change Her
Occupation

Mrs. C. G. Lowry, a pretty woman of
apparent refinement, appeared in Police
Judge Chambers court yesterday on a
charge of petit larceny preferred
against her by Alta Meredith, an en-
ploye of Morley's poolroom.
Mrs. Lowry is accused of entering the
pooiroom on November Is and taking
$3.50 from a coat belonging to Mere
dith. She pleaded guilty to the charge,
and will be sentenced this afternoon
at o'clock.
The charge of petit larceny held
against Mrs. Lowry, and for which she
is to be sentenced, is said by the ar
resting officers, Hosick and Zeigler, 20
be only one of many more serious
offenses which she has committed with.
in the last few weeks. The petit lar
ceny charge, however. was the only
one for which the officers could obtain
specific evidence against her.
Mrs. Lowry is said to have admitted
! that for several weeks she has followed
daily routine of stealing, visiting the
leading business buildings, and COM
mitting petty thefts in the offices. Dur
| ing the last few weeks an unusual
number of thefts have been reported
to the police by tenants in the Laugh
lin Grant, Wilcox and Braly build
Broadway, and it is thought Mrs.
Lowry is guilty of committing all OF
them, as she has confessed to a large
! percentage of them. One of the thefts
she is said to have admitted was that
of eleven pennies which she took from
desk, in a Laughlin building office.
Her record of larcenies, according to
her own confession, shows her TO be a
lxleptomaniac, as no sum of money or
any article seems to be too insignif-
! cant for her to take.
Mrs. Lowry told the court that her
husband was a dissolute fellow, vino
spent his time drinking what she was
able to steal, and contributed nothing
toward her support. She said, how
ever, that he regretted her dishonest
means of supporting him, and often
begged her to do something respect
able for a living. But she said she
| seemed to be unable TO resist the
temptation to take things that did not
belong to her, as it was the easiest
way OF making living.

EXPOSITION IS
SURE OF SUPPORT
CHAIRMAN CASS WILL PRE-
SENT STATEMENT
Expects to Call Meeting of Committee
as Soon as Members Return to
the City from Bus-
ness Trips

A. B. Cass, as chairman of the com
mittee on exposition of the chamber
of commerce, has presented to the
board of directors a statement in which
he heartily approves the holding OF
the proposed Universal Peace and
Commerce exposition.
This statement will be in addition
to the report of the committee when
action finally is taken by the COM
mittee, and which undoubtedly will be
favorable to the enterprise.
Mr.. Cass said last night that three
members of the committee still are abb
sent from the city, but that it is his
intention to hold a meeting as soon as
possible after their return.
With the almost absolute certainty
that the chamber of commerce will
indorse the plans of the leaders of the
exposition project, those who are bacl
of the scheme are willing to await the
chambers action, confident that they
then will be able to proceed with every
prospect of success.

DIPLOMAT FAV0RS
PEACE FEATURE
OF WORLDS FAIR

The plan to embody a universal
peace conference i'm the proposed eX-
position for 1915 is attracting the at
tention of prominent visitors to Los
Angeles as well as residents of this
city.
Francis b. Loomis of Washington
d. c., former assistant secretary OF
state under the late John Hay, and one
of the best known of American diplo
mats, who has been passing few
days at the Alexandria hotel, says he
thinks the plan a most advisable one.
Just now the whole country is
stirred by this great movement for
universal peace, said Mr.. LOOMS.
ION every hand we hear the cry for
peace. The people want to put away
their arms of warfare and devote them
selves to some Of the less strenuous
and disastrous occupations of life.
THE country's good demands it-not
only the good of America, but the good
of every other land, the common good
of the age.
IF there is to be an exposition in
Los Angeles l think the peace confer
ence would be most valuable ad-
junct
"The Los Angeles people have con-
ceived a handsome idea and II would
be hard to find one that would meet
with such universal favor, because eV-
eryone Is peacefully inclined.

town District, Practically
Completed

Thursdays rain had the effect of
driving scores of property owners to
the city hall to make inquiry or to
request haste with improvements that
are affected by the rains. The first rain
spurred them to demand their rights
to the fullest and nearly all city hall
officials and clerks We're glad when
the clock hands neared the hour of 5.
Most important of all work just now,
with rains threatened, is that affecting
storm drains and sewers.
Fortunately the largest contract of
the year is about finished. The big
sewer which tunnels Sixth street from
Hope street east to the Los Angeles
river will be completed by next week.
1t has been sorely needed.

ing endless thought, work and ex-
pense.
All the while traffic was carried on
the street surface, the tunneling be-
ing done by shafts with windlasses and
shaft houses overhead being utilized.
The EARTH sand and cobblestones with
which the city is underlaid were hoist

trough with a sliding door directly
into the wagons in waiting.

gard to sewer building on Sixth street

Broadway and Main street, had to con-
tend with muddy sidewalks. water

loss of business because of the dirt

storm water being washed back into
adjoining premises he would be held
liable for all damages that accrued.
