GREEK MANIA SEXES PARIS
Excited by Success Of Mary Garden,
the American, as Chrysis in
"Aphrodite"
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, April S.-Miss Mary Garden,
the American prima donna, has won a
triumph as Chrysis, heroine of the
opera "Aphrodite." In fact, an old
Greek-Byzantine mania seems to have
possessed fashionable Paris. Miss Gar
den's critics vow she is worthy to pose,
not only as Chrysis, but as the Greek
Venus herself.
OF her singing there Is less talk. The
opera is received, chiefly, as an ex-
quisite series of pictures of Alexandrian
life; a scholarly piece of archaeology
transplanted to the stage and made in
teresting to the public by vague story
of which the less said the better
and Fascinating to the artistic by the
most wonderful display of scenic beauty
ever known in France.
1t was amusing at the full dress re-
hearsal to see ChryS1s attended, with
equal anxiety and devotion, by Pierre
Louys, the author of the original novel,
and her costumer, both feverishly ar
ranging the folds of her silken, statu-
esque robes and often disagreeing about
some microscopic effect.
Erlanger, whose music, a tri1e heavy,
but all based on oriental modes. is the
nearest approach to Alexandrian-
Greek melodies, declares that Miss
Garden has taken rang among the very
first lyric artists of our day.
The costumer, who confesses that he
has long and secretly cherished the idea
of restoring to modern Paris the beau
tiful robes of ancient Greece-natur-
ally with some modifications-was
enchanted by the American artists
decorative triumph.
The worship of the Greek spreads,
Countess Matthew de Noailles, one of
the greatest leaders of society, herself
born Greek princess, gave reception
this week in which she shone as tallas
Athene. On her fair hair golden he'll
met, wearing clinging white robes and
carrying the insignia which Greek my
thology attributed to Minerva.
The mania has gone far enough to
allow Paul Adam to stroll through the
salons wearing a Byzantine costume,
while a golden circle crowns his bushy
locks.
Cleo de Merode gives another touch
to Partisan Hellenism by appearing in
new dances as Tenegra, in which she
reproduces the attitudes costumes and
effects of the statuettes eXhumed from
the famous Metropolis.
Maurice Barres, by the way, is
achieving odd distinction by appearing
at receptions in ordinary evening dress.
"I am here as a foil to the Creeks"
he says.

RAILROADS HAVE NOT MET CUT
Underwood of Erie Will Decide for
Peace or War

The passenger situation between Chi
cago and New York has been peculiar
one for almost a month. The Grand
Trunk and the Wabash have had in ef-
feet a schedule of fares between these
two points of SIG and SIS, first and sec
and class respectively, which is two
dollars lower than the rates of other
lines.
The other roads have made no effort
to meet this cut. The passenger OIL
cials declare that the matter is en-
tirely out of their hands and that IT
is up to the presidents of the roads to
decide what shall be done.
The solution of the whole situation Is
said to rest with F. d. Underwood
president of the Erie, who has been
spending a vacation in California, who
by a word can either decide for peace
or war.
All lines agree that If Mr.. Under
wood will enter into an agreement OF
arbitration a peaceful settlement of the
question will soon ensue, while If he
meets the cut of the Grand Trunk and
the Wabash, a rate war will ensue.
The New York Central officials have
already announced that If the Erie
meets the reduction in rates, Lake
Shore and Michigan Central rates will
at once be lowered, the latter to the
lowest figure now in effect.
The Grand Trunk would undoubtedly
again lower its rates and the war would
be on in earnest. 1t is said Mr. Under
wood will take no action until after
the coal strike situation clears.

ADOPTS NEW LIGHT SCHEME
Pennsylvania Has Conducted Success
full Incandescent Experiments

The Pennsylvania lines have expert
mented with so much success with a
new method of lighting passenger cars
that all of the passenger coaches will
be equipped with the new lights this
year.
The new scheme consists of five
fifty-candle power incandescents for
each car with holophane rehectors, in
stead of five groups of eight-candle
power incandescents with four lights
in each group.
Storage batteries will be used to fur
nish electricity for lighting the coaches
and it Is thought that the new scheme
will be a money saver. 1t is figured
that by the refectors the lights will
be increased to S5-candle power upon
a newspaper that a passenger might
be reading.
The car equipped expermentally is
No. 1883, operated on train 10 and s,
between Pittsburg and Chicago. The
new passenger equipment ordered by
the Pennsylvania line for this years
delivery, ali of which have the new
lights, consists of twenty-five coaches,
two dining cars, two cafe cars and
ten combination coaches.

NATIONAL RAILWAY PROPO-
SITION

Senator Newlands Of Nevada, one of
the brightest members on the Demo-
cratic side Of the chamber, proposes
a railway project that will attract
widespread attention. The idea is
evolved from the difficulty encoun-
tered in the governments dealings
with the railway rate question, caused
by the overcapitalization of all the
lines, with no two just alike in that
respect. Senator Newlands suggests
a national incorporation act that
would regulate railway profits on a
basis of from 4 to per cent, with all
water eliminated from the stock
Starting at this point Senator New
lands declares that "from national
capitalization to national ownership is
only short step" Therefore, as an
initial undertaking, he would have
the government enter upon the con-
struction of a railway system of It's
own" He suggests IAN experimental
line from Norfolk or Charleston to
Los Angeles or San Diego" Such
line, according to the senator's eSti-
mate, could be built for s1OOOOO,oOO,
a cost not exceeding an average of
$4,000 per mile. as against the aver
age capitalization of $685. 900 (watered)
which prevails on existing lines"
A national road from Norfolk to
Los Angeles Charleston is too far
south) would cover a stretch of about
5000 miles from ocean to ocean. The
government could build on the pro-
ceeds of a bond loan at much less than
3 per cent, almost one-half what rail-
way corporations are obliged to pay
for similar construction. With that
advantage in primary cost, great re-
duction on present traffic rates would
be assured.

PREPARE FOR
THE DEMOCRATS
LOS ANGELES TO ENTERTAIN
STATE COMMITTEE
Speakers From All Sections of CaIlfor-
MIA WI Address the Banqueters,
Harmony Being the
WatchWord

The committee of the Democratic
club OF Los Angeles has completed its
arrangements to entertain the state
Democratic committee at Its second
annual Jeffersonian banquet to be given
at the Angelus on the evening Of
April IS.
Capt George M. Cake, president Of
the club and chairman of the Democra-
tic central committee, said last even-
ing:
I'VE are exerting every effort to
make this banquet success.
This is the first time that the state
Democratic committee has ever been
invited to Los Angeles.
I'VE feel that we have scored a good
point for this part of the state, although
1t was to the great dissatisfaction of
the officers of the committee up north.
The meetings had usually been held in
San Francisco and we finally induced
them to come to Los Angeles.
I'VE have invited some of the best
speakers from the north to sneak at
the banquet, and also several of Los
Angeles.
Harmony Addresses
"They are Hearst and anti-Hearst
men, and it will be definitely under
stood that there will be no 'hammering'
each other. The great object will be
to harmoniZe the Democratic party in
the state.
Southern California is now coming
to the front in politics and the Demo-
cratic party Is bound to forge ahead
and be strongly felt in this part of the
state. and Los Angeles Is the central
place of action.
The local club committee has sent
written invitations to all the members
OF the committees north of Tehachapi,
numbering ia, and word will be re-
ceived from them soon.
THE speakers who have been invited
are w. R. Hearst New York; ex-
Congressman e. J. Livernash, Franklin
X. Lane, w. H. Afford, Gavin McNab,
F. H. Gould of San Francisco, Judga
E. C. Farnsworth, San Joaquin valley;
Thomas J. Geary Of Sonoma.
"These speakers have been requested
by the committee to select their own
subjects and to notify 1t as soon as
possible.
1.-The tickets to the banquet are lin
tied to 800 and the members must come
early to avoid the rush, to give every
one a fair show, so that the committee
will not be blamed for any apparent
oversight"

RAILWAY WORLD
VALLEY LINE OF S. p. WILL BE
OPEN TODAY
No Further Trouble From LandsIIdcs
Is Anticipated-Passenger Situa-
ton in East Is Complicated.
General News

Contrary to expectations of the Off
cials, the valley line of the Southern
Pacific was not open for traffic yester-
day, but it is thought that the track
will be clear today.
The rock and dirt were piled upon
the track in such shape that is has been
difficult to estimate how quickly 1t
could be cleared away
In many instances the rocks have
been so large that it has been necessary
to break them up by blasting before
they could be carried away.
The regular valley trains left the Ar
cade depot last night and will go over
the valley division in hope that 1t will
be open by the time that they arrive
at tunnel II.
If the track is not clear the passen-
gers will be transferred and the bag
gage will follow a short time afterward.
It is now believed that the earth has
settled enough to become solid and that
no more trouble will be experienced
this year from landslides.

COAL MINING ANARCHISTS

The first result of the coal strike is
an object lesson showing the American
people the need of drastie reform in the
immigration service. In the anthracite
districts of northwestern Pennsylvania
and in the bituminous districts in the
southwestern section of that state open
defiance of law and order, accompanied
by fragrant outrages, have been COM
mitted by striking miners. The large
bodies of men engaged in these out
RACES, together with the Haunting of
the red emblem of anarchy, show how
strong a foothold the anarchistic ele-
ment of Europe is securing in the
United States.
Down to a period of about twenty
years ago the business of coal mining
in this country was operated chiefly by
Irish and Welsh labor, with a smaller
proportion from England and northern
Europe. Miners from southern Europe
were almost unknown in our coal fields
at that time. With the beginning of
the era of gigantic consultations in
the coal industry began the securing
of Europe for cheap labor by agents of
the coal barons. Then commenc the
inpour of the lowest class of laborers
from southern Europe, the stream of
that inpour CARING rapidly in volume
ever since. At the present time the
mining of coal in this country is done
/ mainly by class Of ignorant southern

BEGIN THE OWL CAR SERVICE

Incidental to the agitation for all
night cars on the trolley roads. why
wouldn't it be good idea to embody u
clause providing for them in future
franchises?
For instance: The Los Angeles-Pa-
cific road will soon require grant to
operate its cars in Hill street, as well as
through tunnel from First to Temple
street and from Temple to Sunset
boulevard. 1t will further have to form
an agreement with the city relative to
boring these tunnels or covering its
share thereof. Now. in passing the
needful legislation for these privileges,
why not embody a clause calling for
owl cars on all the Los Angeles-Paciflc
lines, both in town and at longer inter-
walls over the beach lines and to Holly
wood and Colegrove?
This could easily be done The rail-
road might object and doubtless would,
but what of that? The people, the ones
who grant the favors these railroads SO
eagerly seek. want the owl cars and
they know that the railroads will put
them In service just whenever-and not
before-the public demand is strong
enough to be a menace to desired con-
cessions. This tunnel proposition af-
fords an opportunity to compel one road
to give this needful service and to
clinch the demand-and this Is an OPP
portunity that must not be overlooked.
Then, when this is done, and one road
is running all night cars, It won't be
long till all have them. Competition
will force the Interurban, Los Angeles
railway and even the Pacific Electric
to come into line. Otherwise these
Huntington companies would see the
Hartman lines patronage growing at
lively rate, its territory developing
and its revenues increasing, while their
Golfers were kept at a dead level. No,
they wouldn't then refuse the city's
demand; they would hasten to grant it.
Thus this tunnel proposition opens UP
at once the way-alWays provided they
are not placed in operation voluntarily
for the city to demand owl cars and
to enforce it's demands. 1t is an open
ing such as comes to few cities in such
an hour of need-a chance that in Los
Angeles it would be criminal not to
seize. VIII the city council kindly sit
up and take notice?

KINGS SERVANTS ALL GIANTS
British Rulers Fad Has Put Premium

High Wages

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, April 8.--Giant servants
are characteristic OF the smart English
households today. The difficulty is 10
get them. They are always at a pre-
MUM and are greatly coveted. IN moth
ing, in fact, does the foremost English
aristocrat pride himself more than in
the possession of tall servants. Any
man of the servant class in London
over six feet may be assured of life of
ease and high wages.
The pay of an extra waiting man
at an English dinner or reception Is $5
a night. He must me at least five feet
ten inches in height. Every inch over
that is worth about SO to him.
In the kings household there are
many unusually tall servants. His
majesty's favorite among them is a
giant six feet six inches high. He is
broad, we'll made and of immense
strength, but he has most curious
head and face. In comparison with the
size of his body his head is quite
dimunitive, and while the mouth is ex-
ceedingly strong and large, the head
and eyes are those of a schoolboy.
The king first saw him in the service
of a Russian grand duke living in Eng
land. His majesty coveted him, and
since then, although only common
footman, he has been one of the king S
most favored servants.

When first I spoke to Josephine,
So great was her surprise,
She gazed in mute alarm at me,
And then she dropped her eyes.
Again, put the question fair,
But ere my word was in,
She seemed as II about to speak,
And then she dropped her chin.
"Oh, Josephine most dear" I said.
"Will yoV not understand
She gently drew herself away
And then she dropped her hand,
Tell me, sweet one, why this sus
pense?
Dear, mako my heart rejoice"
She stood apart in mute amaze,
For she had dropped her voice!
Around her then put my arm
AS if t embrace; instead,
She snuggled closely to my heart
And then she dropped her head!
No use it was to press the suit,
Tho good was my intent;
So far gone was she, at a word
She all to pieces went!

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special cable TO Inc Herald.
LONDON. April S.-The latest evolu-
tion of London life is an entirely new
type of male which has been classi-
fled as the imam maiden" This new
type of male has been responsible for
an extraordinary change in the eti-
quette and conduct of those who fire.
quent certain popular restaurants in
the city.
Mixed lunching is now not only con-
sidered undesirable, but it is absolutely
impossible. The gentlemen who resort
to these refreshment houses sit at
tables which bear the legend reserved
for gentlemen only" Nor would they
dream of lifting their respectful eyes
from their "mince and mashed" or
whatever delicacy they may be con-
suming On the other hand, the young
lady habitues would never think of
allowing their gaze to wander from its
focus on their coffee cups.
The result of this new order of things
is to impart to the decidedly up-to-date
restaurants an air of early Victorian
severity. 1t is doubtful If the new sys-
tenn is altogether pleasing to the ladies
and gentlemen who have to endure
it, but all the blame of it must be
thrown on the imam maiden"
He is a type that has largely in
creased In number only during the
past few years. In the main he is
anaemic, given to vegetarianism, and
has a horror of tobacco smoke. This
is course of life which has appar-
emily endowed him with a terror of
woman.
This dread of the eternal feminine
was first discovered when he tabooed
the smoking room and when, seeking
the general room, he frequently found
himself suffering from great terror in
having to sit next to girl.
AS a consequence the men maidens"
first banded themselves into groups,
and used to enter with many bushes
and tremblingly annex a table which
was free from any alarming feminine
appearance. They looked so truly mis-
erable, so self-conscious. and were al
most so incapacitated from eating on
account of their bushes that it was de-
cided to set a table apart for them.
And this, of course. out of consider
alton for the ladies' feelings. had to
be followed by the table reserved for

WILL WIN OUT IN LONDON
Believed That American Girl to
Marry Waldorf Astor Will
Be a FaVorite
SpecIal cable Do The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, April S.--Indications to-
day are that society will welcome Mrs.
Mamie Langhorne Shaw with open
arms when she becomes the bride of
Waldorf Astor this month.
She will fight if necessary.
Already signs are apparent that the
charms of the American girl have made
their impression on English society.
and that as a result of the ban which
has been placed on William Waldorf
Astor. the eXpatriated American mil
lionaire, will be removed.
1t is known that William Waldorf
AstOr's chief ambition Is to be elevated
to the peerage. Possibly" the paper
concludes, "his daughter-in-la can
manage It,"
Cliveden, the splendid Thames resi-
dence of William Waldorf Astor. and
100000 a year is the wedding gift of
the former American to his son.
Cliveden was formerly the property
of the duke of Westminster, who sold
it to Astor in 1898 for $1,250O0O. For
years it has been the show place of
Buckinghamshire. 1t lies on the north
bank of the Thames near Maidenhead.
a great park of beautiful woods rising
gradually from the stream.
The river is a public highway, the
most famous in England. Until Astor
took possession of Cliveden persons
were allowed to land and stroll through
the park, but Astor put a stop to that.
Young Astor and his bride will make
the place their home.
