HUNDREDS SEE ORIENTAL SHIP
The Hercules at San Pedro Attracts
Large Crowd of Siqhtseers

Hundreds of people were attracted to
San Pedro yesterday to see the Her
cules, the first oriental steamship that
has entered that port. On this account
and because of the cargo which it is
now discharging 1t is somewhat OF a
curiosity.
1t is generally recognized that the
entrance of this ship into the harbor
is the beginning Of the line of steam
ships which Senator Clark has promised
for some time to establish in connec-
tion with the Salt Lake road. 1t is
known that it was through the efforts
of the Salt Lake officials that the YES
sci was docked at San Pedro.
Two more steamers of the same line
are due to arrive in San Pedro within
a short time. 1t is understood that the
Hercules will make port at San Pedro
on it's next trip from the orient.
Men versed in oriental trade say that
they can see a great future in store for
Southern California merchants In re-
gard to business with the orient. 1t is
their opinion that the merchants here
should build up trade with the Jap
anese and Chinese merchants. They
say that the future of San Pedro as a
port for an oriental steamship line de-
pends upon the cargo that the ships re-
ceive for the return trip to the far
east.

WORLD
PASSENGER RATE WAR AGAIN
THREATENED
Difficulties Spread to Southwestern
Lines When Round Trip Fare Is
Reduced to Eagles ConVen-
tion at Milwaukee

Lines from Chicago to New York
have been embroied in difficulties for
the past two months over the cut in
passenger rates made by the Wabash
and the Grand Trunk. The other roads
have decided not to meet the cut, but
there is a great deal of feeling between
The competing lines.
The next affair that stirred up trouble
and opened up old sores was a cut by
the 500 lines and a reduction in the
rates from the Twin cities to New
York. Roads accused each other Of
misusir1g steamship privileges in order
to secure the business of theatrical and
other large companies. This was nearly
a month ago and war has not yet
broken out, although the kettle of dis
cord is simmering
The idea of cutting tes seems to
be infective and is spreading rapidly,
threatening to involve all of the roads
in rate war when the trouble that is
brewing boils over. The southwestern
lines are at swords points over the
rates to the Eagles convention to be
held in Milwaukee in July.
In the beginning it was proposed to
give a one fare rate, plus 81, from
Kansas City to Milwaukee,. but finally
one of the lines announced a rate of $1t
for the round trip 1t tried to justify
its action but the Milwaukee and the
Northwestern refused to accept the
passengers at Chicago on this basis.
The road making the cut found way
of solving the difficulty by announcing
round trip rate to Chicago of $S. In
this way the passengers can buy round
trip steamship tickets at Chicago for
IS, making the round-teip cost them $11.
Railroad officials say that competition
for business is so keen between pas
senger officials that it will take a dip
lcmatic man to straighten out the
snarls that have been made. If war
ensues it is predicted that it will be a
bitter one but that it will not last long
because the railroad officials will see
the folly of useless loss of money
through cut rates.

ing two weeks. during which time he
Inspected certain mining properties
which he and other pasadenans own In
that promising district He is greatly
elated over the outlook and sees almost
unlimited possibilities Of development
and of natural growth there.
Mr. Pearce says that IL is simply inn
possible to give an adequate descrip-
tion of the wealth lying in that district
awaiting the coming Of capital to he
opened UP. On his own claims sulphide
copper ore has Just been struck at the
bO-foot level. He Is planning extensive
development work about October 1 and
feels certain Of great returns.
A boom of large dimensions Is sure
to envelop the district as soon as the
summer heat is over. Several corpora
tions are even now arranging to install
new smelters, two such plants being a
certainty. fact which also means great
things for the district.
Although Mr.. Pearce spent most OF
his time visiting throughout the So
called Bill Williams Quartz mining dis
trict, where his properties are located
he still had time to inspect a number
of other valuable claims i'm the Blue
Ridge and his report from them is most
encouraging to the many individual in
vestors in Pasadena and vicinity who
have put money into claims there.

MRS. WEIGH ELUDES
THE COUNTY OFFICERS
WATTS STATION RESIDENT IS A
WILL-o'-THE-WI
Couple and Pool Room Had Become
Well Known Through Family Rows
but the Wife Has cIeverIy Eluded
Her Pursuers Who Hold Warrant

The wit and cleverness of a woman
has proven too much for the skill and
shrewdness Of the best detectives of
the county staff and Mrs. Hazel Welch,
wanted ON charge of assault with
deadly weapon, is still at large, while
the warrant rests snugly in the hands
of Constable De La Monte, who thus
far has been unable to catch even a
glimpse of the elusive Hazel.
Mrs. Welch has been known to the
county officers for months and many
times has walked calmly into the
iuatrons ward at the county Jail while
the. great iron doors clicked behind her.
But now there is no Mrs. Welch;
there may never have been a Mrs.
Welch so far as the county officers hPve
been able to learn, and the warrant re-
mains unserved.
Mrs. Welch lived at Watts station
with her husband, who was proprietor
of a pool room. He was arrested on
charge of conducting blind pig, while
she was arrested on numerous other
charges.
Pool Room Battle
According to the statements of the
good citizens Of Watts, husband and
wife engaged in a fierce fistic battle
once a week regularly, while the
hangers-on in the pool room cheered OIL
the combat.
Once, and once only, did anyone at
tempt to interfere in the little family
jousts. The peacemaker was an officer,
and when he managed to escape from
the place one of the followers of the
domestic Marquis of Queensberry af-
fairs was shooting at him. The officer
left and the couple resumed their fight.
From that time on there was quiet
until several weeks ago, when Welch
appeared before Deputy District At
torney Mccormick and pleaded for the
arrest of Mrs Welch. He exhibited
more than score of cuts on his body
where he said Mrs. Welch had bitten
him. He stated that Mrs. Welch had
visited him at his home in Watts,
climbed through the second story win
dow by means of a ladder and attacked
him with chisel, slicing him in several
places, after which she bit him.
Keeps constables Busy
The warrant was issued and given to
the constable to serve and that was
the last heard of it.
One by one the deputi took the war.
rant, carried It in their pockets for sew
eral days while they searched every
corner in Los Angeles, and then the
warrant was given to some one else
for service. In the meantime there
were many reports about MRS. Welch
being in the city, but how she managed
to keep out of sight of officers who
knew her very well is something yet to
be explained.
Yesterday report was received by
the county officers that Welch and his
wife were living together at Watts, and
today the deputies will visit the subur-
ban town in search of the woman.
