Mr.. TAFT reports that conditions in
the Philippines show steady improve
ment." This doubtless refers definitely
to the political situation. There surely
seems to be something decidedly wrong
with the economic situation. Porto Rico
has barely one-thirtieth Of the area Of
the Philippines and about one-eighth
of their population. Four years ago she
was sorely poverty stricken. Her total
commerce in 1908 was a little less than
$50, 1000, 900. The report for the last fiscal
year shows an increase to $45, 900, 900.
Within the same time Philippine trade
has fallen of more than s., 100000.
A dose of the same medicine that has
done so much for Porto Rico would prob
ably do u little brown brothers a great
deal OF good. 1t a be administered
without harm to ourselves.

SHIP SUBSIDY
TO Be URGED
Roosevelt Declares That His Annual
Message Was Misunderstood and
Desires to Correct False
Impression
By Associnted Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-That Pres
ident Roosevelt will send to congress a
special message advocating lie passage
of ship subsidy measure at the pres
ent session was stated by several mem
bers of the house today.
1t was said that the president had
declared that the recommendation in
his annual message was misunderstood.
In that message he said that if it
We're found ineXpedient to pass the
senate bill a measure should be passed
to provide for a few lines to South
American ports.
He did not mean to minimize the i'm
portance of other features of the bill
1t Is said, and now purposes to correct
| any false impression that may have
been gained by the house.
No decision as to the committees at
titude on ship subsidy was reached at
the caucus of the Republican members
of the house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries held today.
After discussing the amended Gall
linger bill the Republicans took no
action but decided to call meeting Of
the committee for January Z, when a
vote of the whole committee will be
taken 1t is believed that President
Roosevelt's wishes in the matter will
have been communicated to the house
by that time.
The amendments to the bill drafted
by Representative Grosvenor eliminate
cargo subsidy entirely and limit the
governments aid to mail carrying
ships to South America and the orient.
Even with these changes the members
of the committee from the middle west
do not favor the measure.

PROPERTY OWNERS
ARGUE FOR THE
TROLLEY FRANCHISE

Fridays arguments in the council CT
the subways were long drawn out but
az times emphatic.
Councilman Houghton said that there
seemed to be a hazy light about some
of the features; that the 'ublic was ex-
pected to dodge through the tunnels as
best they could, while the city gracious
ly gave the companies the right to
make money from their cars. He
throught that no franchises should be
granted till, for instance, footways were
provided for.
Mr.. Hewitt-"The council is not yield
ing any of it's rights or it's legitimate
powers. 1t simply grants that tunnel
be built. 1t will be done under city
supervision"
Lawrence Holmes took the floor to
say that he and others had fostered a
movement on behalf of the property
owners to get some kind of a tunnel
under Hill street.
I'VE propose that the north end be
not cemetery but live portion Of
our city," said Mr.. Holmes. Ninety
per cent of the property owners desire
tunnel and we have asked the street
railroads to help us We, not they,
were the original petitioners.
The city is called on to pay $4,000
for its share and my esteemed friend
from the Sixth ward objects to this.
Why. the city will gain hundreds of
thousands in taxes from the increased
valuations of property resulting from
the building of this tunnel
"The company is put to an expense
of $4,000 to construct this one tunnel,
which is an architectural work of art,
an ornament to the city"
Councilman Houghton tried to wiring
from Judge Pope a promise that his
company would forego asking the city
to pay the $4,000 share, which is made
part or the ordinance proposed, but
Judge Pope said it was an agreement
between the citizens and the city and
the railroad was not a party con-
cerned
The tall member from the Sixth
threatened to invoke the initiative and
referendum If compensation was not
provided for in return for the fran
chise.
Judge Pope said that compensation
was provided for in some of the ordi-
nances, The tunnels would have drive
ways and footwalks. In the cases of
the subways in private grounds, how
ever, fast time was TO be made and foot
passengers would not be safe there
No one was permitted on foot in the
New York subways The purpose of
the tunnels was to make speed and
this would be defeated if the foot
walks were insisted on. The plans called
for upright columns alonside the tracks
and every precaution for safety of sur
rounding buildings, but no walks were
specified in the plans for the private
They are part OF the subways
under streets, however.
The city attorney finally at his re-
quest was instructed to prepare the
ordinances, leaving the amount of COM
pensation blank for submission to the
council on Monday afternoon.

Fear Bark Eoundered

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 14.-There is
some apprehension for the safety of
the American bark w. f. Babcock, 1856
days out from Baltimore, bound for
Portland with a cargo of coal.
While the length of her passage Is
not unusual, the fact that the Babcock
carries what Is considered by some sea
captains a dangerous cargo and the
further fact that she has not been re-
ported since leaving Baltimore, leads to
fears that she has foundered.

VENICE AROUSED
OVER SALE OF THE
KINNEY INTERESTS
Special to The Herald.


VENICE, Dec. 14.-With the rapidity
of wildfire the story of Abbot Kinney's
sale of Venice to the Hartman inter-
ests was spread the length and breadth
of the entire bay section, and long be-
fore the average citizen was out of bed
1t was impossible at any of the news
stands to purchase a paper containing
the article. On the streets and in pub
lie places the story was discussed by
little groups of excited citizens, and al
though some doubt was expressed as
to Mr.. Kinney having met the terms
of the railway people, it was univer-
sally conceded that negotiations have
reached an advanced stage and that
Mr.. Kinney is not likely to let slip an
opportunity to shift the burden of his
huge local investments to shoulders
better able to bear the financial strain.
At the Office of the Abbot Kinney
company the Herald article was read,
but ELECTED no comment from c. e.
Barnard, the general manager of the
Kinney company, and a broad smile
was the only recognition that Frank
Peltret, Mr.. Kinney's close associate,
gave on being shown the article. In
real estate circles the report of the
sale was given general credence and
many of the realty dealers were willing
to go further and say that the trans
action had been closed several days
ago. That the values on lots will un-
dergo great change within the next
thirty days seemed to be the opinion
of those who are considered well in
formed on general conditions and II
was predicted that boom will follow
the confirmation of the sale by the
interested parties.
There has been no noticeable de-,
probation In land values since the coll
lapse of the boom of eighteen months
ago and for that reason property In
this section, in all but the suburban
districts, is now held at prices that pro-
hibit the man of average means of
getting in as readily as could be done
before the last boom excitement
started.
Residence lots, averaging SOx1SO feet.
in any of the favored neighborhoods In
Venice command from $4,000 to $4,000
and business property on Windward
avenue is held as high as at any time
in the history of Venice. Values al
Ocean Park and Santa Monica have
steadily advanced In the last year and
il looks as II the day had passed when
II was possible to run alten-dollar bill
into a competency for life, as a ma
jority of the women taxpayers of this
section, who constitute about three
quarters of the whole, are credited
with having done.
However, the first gun of the boom
has been sounded and Il will only re-
quire something to get started to turn
the community into a state of excite
ment that only the lust for gold can
create.
