Witnesses a Strange Sight.


Coming into port in the early morn
ing ] witnessed a strange sight; a
school of Spanish mackerel came into
the harbor. So numerous we're they
that the water was turned to molten
silver. Their appearance precipitated
a carnival of killing, such as never
dreamed of. The air was black with
pelicans, fish hawks, eagles, and every
bird of prey, while the water literally
swarmed with sharks. blue fish, and
other denizen Of the deep. Out Of the
heavens the great birds would drop
like shot, striking the water with a
resounding splash, aud the hiss OF the
sharks dorsal fin as he cut the water
like a knife was heard everywhere
The slaughter continued for an hour,
until the silly mackerel retired to the
depths.
My native servant, a boy of twelve,
volunteered to bring me an eagle, and
was much interested in his proceed
ings. He brought forth small board
nailed on long stake, and padded
out into the harbor The tide was out,
SO he carried his outfit long ways
from shore. Then he pushed the stake
into the mud, so that the plank was
about two inches under water. Just
above the plank, and floating on the
surface, he fastened a good-sized fish.
Then he came ashore and we awaited
results. Presently big pelican came
sailing along and spied the bate. With
sudden closing of mis- winds, he drop.
ped like bolt from the sky, striking
head first against the plank. Sambo
brought him in a few moments later
his neck broken, killed instantly
wanted an eagle. but got pelican.
Tomorrow-that Is, manana-we
take the train for San Pedro. where
our saddle ana pack mules and outfits
must be engaged for trip across the
continent.

ALL DIFFER
ON NEW LAW
RAILWAY OFFICERS AND LAW.
YERs MEET AND CONSIDER
NEW ENACTMENT
% TRY TEST CASES
Traffic and Legal Committees Are Ap-
pointed - j. w. Blythe Represents
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Referred
to Attorney for Final Determination.

Chicago, July 17-When the execu-
tive officials and lawyers for the west
ern railways met here yesterday, it
was discovered there are as many in
terpretations of the new Interstate
commerce law as there are lawyers
The traffic officials of each road
naturally would be governed in their
actions under the law by the interpre-
tation put upon 1t by their own at
torneys. 1t was thought best to form
committees to take the matter up and
get as nearly uniform Interpretation
as possible.
Every trunk line operating west Of
Chicago was represented.
While the general disposition is to
try and obey the law to the best Of
their understanding, 1t was known
some of the railroads are anxious to
bring test case to discover any pos
stble imperfections In the law. The
railroad men feel the new law takes
away some Of their constitutional
privileges.
Two Committees are Named.
AS the result of the meeting two
committees were appointed to formu-
late a general policy. First there was
committee Of traffic men to revise
the traffic situation. The legal COM
m1ttee will be advisory and no rules
will be formulated by the traffic COM
mittee as final until they have been
passed upon by the lawyers.
The traffic committee is composed Of
the following officials:
| W. B. Biddle, vice president Of the
| Rock Island; Darius Miller, vice presi.
dent Of the Burlington; Ben Campbell,
vice president Of the Great Northern;
H. R. Mccullough, vice president of
the Northwestern; j. H. Hiland, vice
president of the st. Paul; J. w. Blabon,
traffic manager of the Alton; j. M.
Johnson, assistant to the vice presi-
dent of the Gould lines; D. o. Ives,
traffic manager Of the Wabash; G..
Halle, traffic manager of the NJ. X. &
T.; c. l.. Wellington, traffic manager
Of the Colorado Southern; T. j. Hud-
son, traffic manager Of the Illinois
Genital: William Sproule, freight
traffic manager of the South
ern Pacific; ]. G. Stubs, traffic df-
rector of the Hartman lines, and Sam.
uel G. Stickney, vice president of the
Great Western.
| Blythe on Committee.
The railroad attorneys to whom all
question will be put up for final de-
termination, and who will compose the
legal committee, are as follows:
L. B. Brewer Of the Northwestern,
George R. Peck of the st. Paul, G. w,
Bum of the Northern Pacific R. M.
Shaw of the Alton, Gardiner Lathrop
of the Santa Fe, c. N. Travous Of the
Wabash, w. E. Osborne of the Ell Paso
and Southwestern, Richard A Jack
son of the Rock Island, ]. w. Blythe
of the Burlington, j. M. Dickinson Of
the Illinois Central, P. F. Dunn of the

A special train of four cars passed
through the city yesterday afternoon

vate car on the trip. The journey was
in the nature of a tour of inspection.

Passenger train No was delayed
for nearly an hour last evening by los
ing brass from the driving box, near

Makes Big Gains.
Chicago, July 17.-No railroad in the
country has undergone greater trans
formation in the last few years than
has the Northern Pacific. During the
last twelve months its gross earnings
increased considerably over $10,O00,-
900. This is five-eights of what it's en-
tire gross was in 1898, when for the
third time in it's short history the road
went into the hands of receivers. It's
net earnings for the fiscal year just
closed, while not yet officially publish
ed, generally are placed at over $780,
100000, a net gain of nearly $7,000,000
in the last twelve months. For a road
the stock of which sold for 25 cents a
share in 1898 this is regarded as some
thing phenomenal.
This rapid development of the earn
ing power Of the road may be said to
have begun as soon as it fell into the
hands of j. j. Hill, when the life and
death struggle for supremacy between
1t and the Great Northern ceased and
arrangements were completed for op-
Grating the two systems in harmony.
The development, however, Is in large
part due to the settlement of the north
west and the bringing into cultivation
of millions of acres of the most pro-
ductfve wheat lands Of the continent
which, until the last few years, had
been allowed to lie waste and unoccu-
pied, Another important element in
the present great prosperity Of the
Northern Pacific is the close traffic al
lance which now exists between that
road and the Burlington. Since it has
been formed earnings Of both systems
have gone forward with leaps and
bounds The value of bath has been
increased immensely.
While the earnings have thus in
creased the physical condition of the
Northern Pacific has been greatly i'm
proved and is now equal to that of any
other system in the country.

MANAGER FINED;
OPERATOR FREE
elevator MAN LUST SECURE
LICEN5E
Action of Court Has SaIutary Effect
and Inspectors Office Is Crowded
with Applicants for
Permits

J.. Kingsley Macomber. manager of
the Trust building at Second and
Spring streets, who was arrested Friday
on warrant charging him with viola
tion of the elevator license law, was
fined $40 yesterday in Police Judge
Roses court.
The operator, j. r. Eagle, whose lack
of license was made the ground for
the complaint against the two men, was
allowed to go free. The judge was len
lent with the young man, as he had
lust arrived in Los Angeles few days
ago, and apparently was ignorant of
the ordinance regarding the necessity
of elevator operators being provided
with licenses. Judge Rose warned him
never to attempt to secure employment
again as an elevator operator without
first obtaining a license.
The incentive for the arrest Of Ma
comber and Eagle was the accident
which occurred Friday in the Trus
building elevator, when a negro was
hurt by being thrown to the floor when
the car. which had been momentarily
deserted by the operator, suddenly de-
scended swiftly from the second floor,
striking the ground with great force.
A strenuous agitation is being made
by the police against the alleged lax
condition in the elevator inspectors
office. Out of seventy-three elevators
being operated in the largest buildings
of Los Angeles, 1t was yesterday dis
covered that not more than twenty
three of the operators employed could
show license. Most of them claimed
to have them, but could not produce
them when asked to do so. The only
two buildings among those visited yes
terday who employed licensed operators
were the Broadway Department store
and the II. w. Hellman building.
From the number of boys and men
who visited the elevator inspector s
office yesterday morning. 1t is probable
that very few buildings in Los Angeles
will be without licensed elevator ope-
rator by the end Of this week.

There was a decided lull in social
activities during the past week, and
but two large society affairs marked
the week. Both of these functions took
place in the handsome home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hubert F. Ives at 2S2 South Ma

Thursday evening and was for the
married friends of the host and hostess,
while the other took place Friday after
noon and was for the girls and newly
married friends of the Ives.
The Thursday evening affair was at
tended by nearly hundred, and mu-
sical program was given. The house

the flowers of the evening. In the den
