INsTALLs SIERRA ELECTRICs
Southern Pacific Will Use Motors on
Mountain Freights
BY Associated Press.

ID
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.-The
Southern Pacific tomorrow will begin
the work of installing an electric sys-
tenn on its line over the Sierra Nevada
mountains, for the purpose of helping
the heavy freight trains up the steep
mountain grades by means of electric
motors.
This undertaking has been contem-
plated for some years and President
Hartman recently determined to put
it into operation. A corps of engineers
has arrived at Truckee and will super
wise the work under the direction of
the General Electric company, which
will build the plants necessary to op-
crate the system
Details have not yet been given out
but 1t Is said that the engineers will
settle on the third rail system. The
installation of this system is a radical
change In railroad operations i'll the
west
It is figured that the saving in trans
portation will repay the Southern Pa
cific in a few years for the large out
lay in building and equipping an cleo
trio system. At present freight trains
are divided into several sections and
then require two and three engines
with correspondingly large crews, to
haul them up the steep mountain
grades.
Powerful electric motors will take
the place of the engines under the
electric system.

YOUNG W0MEN'S SODALITY
GIVES RELIGIOUS DRAMA
ROMAN PLAY is PRESENTED IN
NEW HALL
"Pontia, Daughter of PIate," Depicts
Martyrs at Opening of Christian
Era in Pagan Rome-Amateurs
Score Marked Success

"Pontia, Daughter of PLATE" proved
a great success last night given by
the Young Ladies' Sodality of st. Jo-
seph's church. The religious drama in
four acts was splendidly staged and
costumed, and the young women car
rled it off with a charm that would
have done credit to their elders.
The event also marked the opening
of the new St. Joseph's hall, which is
one of the finest of it's kind in Los An
geles. The scenery is especially note
worthy and added much to the play
last night The scenes are the best out
side any theater in the city, and are
varied IN charcter, fully equipping the
hall for all plays that the young women
may give.
The play was of a religious character,
the opening scenes being at the time of
the birth of the Christian era. The
central character is Pontia, around
whom the story is woven. Miss Flor
ence Dick essayed the principal role and
repeated the success she has marked in
the plays presented by this sodallty.
The Vestal virgins, composed of a
large number of prominent young
women, formed striking tableau, and
the slave girls of different nationalities
also lent interest. The suite of the
Empress Agrippina of Rome, with the
flower girls and ladies in waiting,
formed one of the striking scenes. the
costumes being in keeping with the lux
urlous character of the Roman period.
The play carries the thread of the
usual martyrs, and in the last act Pc
tronilla, Jewish maiden, given by
Miss Catherine Greed. baptized the
dying Pontia and afterward became IL
saint.
A noteworthy feature of the produc-
ton was the musical program, which
was arranged by Rev. Raphael Fuhr,
o. II. NJ, the pastor, and who
also had charge of the production.
Father Raphael as he is known, acted
as director of the sodality, general
stage manager, and had general charge
of the event, and it is largely due to
him that the sodality has attained its
high STANDARD in the dramatic line.
The young women of the sodality plan
a number of plays which will be pre-
sented during the season at ST. Joseph's
hall.

GOD SENT GREEN CORN; WHO
SENT COOKS?

A family which goes in for green
corn eating would want about a half
acre planted to keep it's table well sup
Piled from July 4 TO the middle OF
September. One of the aforesaid art
squares will give a family at least an
occasional treat that money cannot
procure for them in the market. For
backyard purposes 1 should recommend
the planting of country gentleman.
There are more choice varieties of
green corn, but they require u certain
sort of land not always obtainable.
one point about corn that everybody
should know is that to get it at its
hest 1t should be hurried from the field
to the pot. Pick 1t in the morning
That is the ideal time Of day to eat
corn. Carry It to the kitchen and have
the cook plunge 1t i'm pot of boiling
water. Don't let her boil it more than
ten minutes upon pain of dismissal.
IL necessary stand over her with a
threatening poker for those ten min
utes. II the corn is very tender and
young, less boiling will do Most cooks
spoil corn by boiling il too long.-New

WILL LAND AGAIN
At MAGIC ISLE
SAN DIEGO'S SKIPPER ISSUES
Def TO BANNING
Alleges That Capt. Mahar's Discrim-
ination at San Pedro Prompted
the TroubIe-other Side
of the Story

Act two of the contest between Capt.
F. II. Hollar and the Bannings for
landing privileges at Santa Catalina
island will probably be enacted Satur-
day afternoon when the steamer San
Diego expects to take another boatload
of passengers to the magic isle.
Capt. Hollar says he has legal advice
that he can land his cargo, inasmuch
as the island is part of Los Angeles
county and some of its roads and i'm
provements are maintained out of
county funds.
With his experiences at his previous
successful attempt at landing to guide
him, Capt. Hollar says he will disem-
bark his load of visitors and re-em-
bark them under the laws of the land.
The BanningS on the other hand
maintain that the island is their prop
erty, has been built up as a resort at a
great expense and that under their
regulations only the better class of
persons can visit the island-making
of it high class place of rest and
recreation where no rowdyism is toler-
ated. To let all boats land would be to
let down the bars to disturbing ele-
ments it is argued.
BIames Capt. M ahar
Apparently the present controversy
had its origin in the alleged czar-like
tactics of Capt. Mahar, agent for the
Bannings at San Pedro and also agent
for the Southern Pacific. Capt. Mahar
has, it is charged sought in every way
to hamper the San Diego in landing at
the public ferry landing, even going
to the trouble to permit two boats to
anchor abreast
Capt Hollar says he has appealed to
the city trustees of San Pedro for re-
lief but in vain. Seeing that he was
up against it, he decided to play the
game to the limit and Will hereafter go
after the Catalina business.
The Bannings allege that for some
time the San Diego has been cruising
around Seal Rocks, Moonstone Beach
and other places without helping to
pay the expenses of maintaining the
island as a pleasure resort and that this
is unfair to business men and launch
owners who live on the island and pay
taxes there.
The San Diego was bought for the
Long Beach, San Pedro and Catalina
trade in passengers and freight less
than a year ago. She is 120 feet long.
She will leave for the island again
Saturday morning about 8 o'clock. 1t
is understood that extra guards and a
wire fence will be employed by the
Bannings to Illustrate the attempt at
a landing then.

COURTS LENIENT;
CRIME INCREASES
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept 19--That shop
lifting in the big department stores is
on the increase, owing to the leniency
of Justices, was openly stated in court
yesterday by Lewis Lowenstein, legal
representative of the association OF de-
partment store owners.
There were eight cases on the calen-
dar yesterday and adJournments were
allowed for seven. In the eighth case
the prisoner pleaded guilty
Mr.. Lowenstein says his office has i'm
disputable evidence that an organized
system among shop-lifters exists; that
they are banded together to pilfer from
the big stores while other professionals
dispose of the goods.
He said that every gang had its sink

Of those arrested. Women comprise
