RIOT ovERTIcKETS TO FETE
Pennsy Limits Number of Reduced Fares,
500 Stay Away.

TRENTON, Aug. 31.-"Robbers,"
Crooks" "Hold-up" were a few OF
the epithets that were hurled through
the grating of the ticket window at
the Clinton street station of the
Pennsylvania railroad yesterday
morning. when Ticket Agent Wilmot
announced that only 225 tickets
would be sold at the reduced rate of
$1.50 for the one-day excursion to
Asbury Park.
A crowd of 500 men, women and
children was lined up to go to Asbury
Park to witness the carnival. The
reduced rate had been extensively
advertised, but no notice was given
of any limit in the number of tickets.
When the announcement was made
that no more tickets would be sold at
the reduced rate, but that the full
fare would be charged for the trip,
there was a shout of anger.
About 500 persons stayed home
because of the limitation.

AUTO BURGLARS FOOLED.
Attempt Made on Millionaire Parks
Mansion at Westbury.

WESTBURY, y. Y, Aug. 31.-A sec
ond attempt was made early in the
morning by automobile burglars who
have been terrorizing Long Island for
a month to break into the mansion Of
William G. Parks, a millionaire resi-
dent of this place.
Less than a week ago the same band
made an effort to rob the house, but
they were frightened away by the
guards employed by Mr.. Parks. The
guards again discovered the men at
work, and a battle followed, in which
many shots were exchanged.
The guards found the maraudcrs try
ing to enter by a real window and
without a word opened fire on them.
The robbers dashed off toward the
road, where their machine was wait
ing, pursued by the guards.
No one was struck by the bullets SO
far as could be learned. and the ma
chine, which bore no lights, sped NJ
lently away toward Mineola.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31---Exam-
nation of the list of securities held by
the defunct Real Estate Trust con
pany disclosed the fact that Frank

Zler. The authority for this statement
is George IL. Earle. Jr., receiver for

securing 100000 for the securities.
which he never returned.
President Nipple shot himself to
death. The coroner. to prevent a panic
concealed the truth until yesterday.
Disclosure of actual embezzlement OF
trust funds make the prospect of the
banks resumption less favorable.
Receiver Earle further declared that
President Nipple embezzled the So
100000 he loaned to Adolf Segal, the
promoter. These loans. Mr.. Earle. as
serted. were personal transactions.
although made in the name of the
bank, the directors had no knowledge
Of them; consequently the money was
stolen by Nipple" said Mr.. Earle.
Another enterprise in which the dead
president was financially interested
was discovered when it became known
that he was one of the incorporntors
of Miss Wright's Select School For
Ladies' at Bryn Mawr. the suburb in
which Nipple had his summer resi-
dence. The other incorporators were
his son, f. Wharton Nipple, and Miss
Wright. The latter five years ago be-

In her. Last year Miss Wright pur-
chased n large stone building ut Bryn

JAPANESE sARpINEs

The sardine Is caught in such num-
bers all along the coast of Japan that
hitherto the surplus catch has been
used for manure. Attempts are now be-
ing made to turn this fish to some more
profitable use. Canning establishments
have been started at various places
notably Clfiba and Noyago--with a
view to ascertaining whether the Jap
anese product cannot in far eastern
and American markets at least COM
pete with the Mediterranean product.
At present the olive tree, a more inn
portant factor in this industry is not
cultivated by the Japanese and at the
same time the customs levy duty on
imported oil. This drawback could, of
course, easily be overcome by the gov
ernment allowing a rebate to canning
establishments. As far as taste and
quality go there is no much to choose
between the Japanese product and the
European.-London Daily Graphic.

Ask the oil producer Of the San

CALIFORNIA SHlPBUILDING

Another notable example of ship.
building possibilities in California is
afforded by the trial tests Of the new
United states cruiser which bears the
states name. An unexcelled product
Of naval architecture is seen now in
Santa Barbara channel, where the new
warship is undergoing official tests. In
the first series OF speed trials the vessel
exceeded the contract requirement
nearly one knot per hour. In all other
respects the work of construction, SO
far as reported, proved to be of the
highest and most satisfactory type.
This splendid triumph in shipbuld-
ing of the highest class proves that
there is no longer necessity for de-
pending upon Atlantic coast shipbuild-
ers for vessels to ply in American trade
on the Pacific. Merchant vessels, as
well as warships, can be constructed
on this coast that compare favorably
in all respects with Atlantic coast
products.
In view of the vast shipping inter-
ests on the Pacific, which are now
just unfolding the business of Ship
building in California should become
one of great importance in the near
future. Projects for shipyards at San
Pedro have been broached several times
within the last few years and nothing
seems to stand in their way except the
incomplete condition of the harbor.
But the completed harbor is within
sight now, barring the stoppage of gov
eminent work because of the corporate
harbor frontage grabbing. If the peo-
pie by their votes in the coming cleo
ton decide to curb the grabbers the
harbor work will proceed and the op-
portunity for shipbuilding will be de-
veloped.
Vote to loosen the grip OF the oc-
topus on the port of San Pedro and
the time will not be far distant when
a great shipbuilding industry will de-
velop in that neighborhood.

the Japanese dress. Japanese women
have exquisite figures, more beautiful
than the American, but Oh, what a
difference there is I'm revealing theml
The American woman desires to show
the curves of her figure"
Then you will admit that she has
them?" the little Japanese actress was
asked.
"Oh, certainly she has them, and
when she hasn't she finds q way to get
them. The conscious pride in every
curve with which the American woman
walks along the street is a striking
contrast to the woman of japan, whose
beautiful figure it Is her one aim to
veil from the public eye.
"It is this Haunting of plysica. at
fractions so Unfortunately In the
face Of the world at large that makes
the American woman's charms lose
their artistic value
"And right here the effect of thought
on bodily beauty can be brought out,
too. Does not this free, unshamed
spirit of exhibiting curves of a volup-
tuous body come from q mind of nat
ural beauty? The corseted accentuated
figures Of the American women are fit
expression of the thoughts which are
so far removed from the placid beauty
loving contentment of the daughter of
the chrysanthemum."
