TRAFFIC WILL BE HEAVY
Outlook Is Bright for Travel to Coast
This Summer


While the passenger officials say that
and limited trains in service this sum-
mer experimentally, 1t is known that
1t is not long chance that they are
taking, but that they have based their
determination upon figures of former
summer travel and upon the growth of
Los Angeles.
They have not been slow to recognize
the fact that Los Angeles offers more
attractions than ever before, and they
know that it has been we'll advertised
throughout the east during the past
season, both at the expense of the
railroad companies and by the people
who have visited here and have spent
their time enjoyably.
Local passenger men are enthusi-
astic over the outlook and say that
when the summer rates go into effect
June the scenes at the depots will re-
semble those when the first tourist
rush begins in the early winter. AL
ready large number Of persons have
been booked for passage to Los Angeles
this summer. Reports from the east
ern railroad offices state that there have
been thousands of inquiries concern
ing the summer rates.
Although some of the conventions
that were to have been held on the
coast have been postponed or declared
off, the railroads are giving the rates
the same as originally planned. These
low excursion rates. together with the
summer rates, will bring a summer out
ing to the coast within the reach of
| thousands of persons who could not
come on the regular fares.

RAILW WORLD
MAY ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT
LINE
Merchants Are Determined to Secure
Mexican Business and Are Look
ing for Means to Reduce
Freight

Los Angeles merchants have been
looking into the proposition of estab-
fishing an independent line of steam
ships between Los Angeles and Mexi-
can ports. They have obtained ship
ping lists of the business that Was done
by San Francisco merchants with the
Mexican ports before the earthquake
and now look favorably upon an inde-
pendent line.
When the Pacific Coast Steamship
company steamer Curacao left San
Pedro May II it did not carry the cargo
that 1t should for two reasons, namely:
Because the merchants. were unfamiliar
with the way in which goods must be
billed in order not to be confiscated, and
because the freight rates were so high
that a profit could not be realized on
the consignment.
The snag that the merchants will
run against in establishing line will
be the freight rate between Los An
geles and San Pedro, unless they can
get Hartman to make concessions to
them that he would not make to the
Pacific Coast Steamship company,
which Is known to be controlled by
James ]. Hill.
1t is said that Hill does not favor re-
ducing the steamship rates for freight
that Is delivered over a Hartman line
| because ne does HOL ike 10 see fddIIl-
man reaping a profit. Hartman takes
the same view toward Hill. They have
shown in the northwest that they are
not on friendly terms and are willing to
sacrifice some of their own gain II
they can reduce the profit that is fiow-
ing into their antagonists Golfers.
This recalls to the merchants the fact
that Hill some time ago asked for a
franchise to build line from San Pedro
TO Los Angeles. and promised to estab-
lish steamship line II he were given
what he asked for. Some OF the mer-
chants who heretofore have been op-
posed to the proposition now favor IT.
They believe they could in this way
secure through rate that would abb
sorb the differential between Los An
geles and San Pedro.
From the list of goods that were
shipped from the north to Mexico 1t Il
seen that Los Angeles is placed in gooo
condition TO compete with the Other
coast cities. 1t is near to the source o.
the commodities that cannot be raised
or manufactured ON the coast and raises
many things that cannot be raised II
the north
The steamship Curacao last year car
ried S1,0a2, 167 worth OF freight. whlcl
melted the merchants good profit. Tit
local 1obbers believe that they are en-
titled to part of the gain on the Soodl
sent south and they mean 70 set II

STEEL AGE IN CAR BUILDING
Metal Superior to Wood In construc-
ton of Coaches

The steel age seems to have struck
the railroads, so far as passenger car
building is concerned, The Santa Fe
was one OF the first roads to adopt the
steel mail cars and nearly all OF the
other roads have followed
The Santa Fe is now having built
several steel under-frame smoking
cars. steel is adopted for this purpose
TO prevent loss of human life in wrecks
and collisions. Many of the fatalities
of wrecks have been In the smoking
cars. This car usually is carried next
to the engine. and when constructed OF
wood Is easily telescoped.
Steel also is being used to a large ex-
tent in the construction Of fiat, gon-
dola and coal cars because they give
more wear for the money expended and
do not have TO be put in the shops as
often as wooden cars.

less Man

In an effort to save the life of a tor
furted horse which was being forced TO
draw heavy load over the Compton
road early yesterday morning, Edward
Coryell, president of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals OF
Berkeley, drove his great White steam
er automobile over the country roads MT
a terrific rate of speed, taking hedges,
bitches and all distractions in cloud
OF dust until, like spirit of vengeance,
he swooped down on the Mexican
driver and compelled him to turn the
animal loose.
President Coryell is one of the best
known men in the west in the societies
organized for the protection of animals.
Several days ago he started from his
home in Berkeley for trip through
Southern California In his big touring
car The party came south by the way
Of Santa Barbara automobile road, and
late Tuesday evening arrived in Los
Angeles
Early yesterday morning Mr.. Coryell
and his party, including Mrs. Coryell
and one of her friends, started for a
little trip through the suburbs. AS they
neared Compton and were bowling along
at a good rate of speed Mr.. Coryell
noticed a team of horses some distance
away on a branch road.
One of the animals seemed in fair
condition, but the other had received
a terrible injury to one leg and was
limping painfully. The wound had
been unattended and it was evident
the horse was dying of blood poison,
while the driver lashed the tortured
animals back.
Driver Uses Whip
Time after time the horse, attempting
to keep up with its mate, plunged for
ward to the ground, but each time the
oaths of the driver and the ready whip
brought the beast back to its feet and
the tortuous journey was resumed.
1t required several seconds of observa-
ton before Mr.. Coryell saw the true
state of affairs and then he swung his
automobile around and started for the
other road at rate far in advance OF
the speed limit.
The driver, thinking a runaway auto
mobile was bearing down on him, al
tempted to get his horses to the side
of the road, but Coryell jumped from
his machine and snatched the whlI
from the Mexican's hand.
A fierce argument resulted and the
driver took the injured animal from
the harness, and while Mr.. Coryell and
his party drove slowly hehind, the ami
NAL was taken to Compton and stabbed
there.
Coryell then returned to Los Angeles
local society. The party then visited
the office of Justice Pierce yesterday
afternoon and a warrant for the arrest
of the driver was sworn out.
In the great machine the party ther
scurried away to Compton, where thi
suffering horse was destroyed and tn,
driver arrested and lodged in Jail there

DID NOT SAY
WHAT THEY MEANT
DECLARED TO
INTENTIONS IN THEIR ACT.

Three members of the last Senate
were in attendance at the Circuit
Court this afternoon as witnesses
ready to testify that the County APP
propriations act was not intended. at
least, to mean what It's wording says
according to the claims of the County.
They We're sent for by the Attorney
Generals Department in connection
with the effort of the County Of Oahu
to collect $1,000 of tax money from
the Territory, representing the Coun-
tvs alleged share of money collected
after the County was organized, for
taxes delinquent before the County
was organized.
The senators are J. NJ. Dowsett,
f. Bishop and w c. Achi icy de-
clare that the law was never intended
to allow the counties any, thing but half
of the taxes accruing after the coun-
ties started. Nevertheless. the law it.
self as it was passed, says half of the
taxes collected" after the passage Of
the act, hence the legislature appears
to have passed an act not saying ex-
actly what it meant to say
The three senators were a committee
on the bill, hence they are in a posi-
ton to explain what it was supposed
to mean The memoranda in pusses-
sion of the committee and of Secretary
w. Savidge show, by the figures of m
come calculated, what was the inten-
ton OF the legislators.
But the act does not contain any
words to set forth such an intention.
and this afternoon Judge De Bolt is
taking up the question of whether he
can consider what the senators say
they meant, in trying to construe the

roll-stuffing. Whether the suffers
will be allowed to vote or not is a ques-
ton, but they are being freely signed
up. johnson is one of the strong men of
the Republican organization, and it is
regarded as a shrewd piece of political
strategy on the part of the willy SEN
ator to move from his own district and
butt into the Fourth in an attack on
the redoubtable Sam.
Sam, however, says he is not worry
ing and that he will come out all right
In fact Sam is doing some butting him
SELF and his work will be felt in many
precincts besides his own. At the
same time he is not neglecting home.
"They are stuff1ng the roll with Home
Rulers and Democrats" he said when
asked about it this morning. Sam
has the roll being secretary of the
club, and he showed it as he spoke. 1t
bears a long line of new signatures,
placed there in punches at a time, as
shown by the ink and penmanship.
LET them sign?" said Johnson. ooh
yes, we let them sign as they come. I
don't know whether we will let them
vote or not"
In the ninth of the fourth, the Charlie
Coster men were to the front today
with denials that he is anything like a
dead one" In fact, they declare
that it is Jim Quinn who died last Fri
day evening. Quinn is running for
president against Coster, but the Cos
ter men declare that he wasn't even
nominated and that Coster is the only
nominee. Coster was duly placed up
for the office, it is stated, and then
the nominations were closed without
! Quinn ever being put UP at all.
However, Quinn is running, and it
is thought that he win be duly voted
for. The Coster men claim to be able
! to outvote him anyhow, and if they do
| it will mean goodbye to Quinn's as
pirations for place on the Board of
| Supervisors. Both Quinn and Coster
are Brown men, it is stated, though the
/ former is first of all a Quinn-for-super-
visor man.
