assist and safeguard newcomers here

THE enormous immigration of Ital-

In the first six months of 1906, near
ly 100000 Italians arrived at Ellis island

LAKE VESSEL OWNERS PROSPER
Iron, Steel, Coal, Grain and Lumber
Swell Profits
Rv Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Never before
was so much money paid for carrying
freight in lake vessels as during the
season just closed.
A rough estimate places it at $61, OOO,-
900 for coal, iron ore, grain and lumber.
The profits to the vessels were perhaps
the largest in the history of the lakes.
Careful computations based on the
earnings of typical steamers show a
net profit on steel ships of about 10 per
cent, on wooden ships of between 300
and $500 tons capacity the profits have
ranged as high as 80 per cent, with an
average of more than % per cent on
their insurance valuation.
The cause of this great prosperity
was the demand of the country for iron
and steel. The total movement of iron
ore for the season was 37513,5S9 tons,
an increase of 4, O36 6S5 tons over 1905
Grain from Duluth moved in a larger
volume than ever before. There was
shipped from the head of Lake Super
ior S1,16S,000 bushels. as compared with
59,676000 bushels in 1905.

Commissioner CLARK Says That Rolling

as Possible-General
Railroad News


WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Clark APP
peared before the house committee on
public lands in support of the presi-
dents suggestion that the government
cease to sell coal lands and lease them
hereafter to mining companies.
He reiterated his charges that great
corporations in league with railroads
have "cornered" lands and forced the
prices up to an unreasonably high
point.
When questioned by members of the
committee as to the present difficulty
i'm getting cars, Mr. Clark replied that
i'm his opinion shippers are as much to
blame as the carriers for the present
car famine.
He says thousands of cars are delayed
unnecessarily i'm large centers by the
failure of shippers to unload them
promptly.
In Mr. Clarks opinion the railroads
are buying cars and locomotives as
rapidly as they can get them.

JABBERWOKS ARE
WITHOUT A HOME
CIRCUS KEPT OUT OF AGRI-
CULTURAL PARK
Squad Of Policemen, Responding to a
Riot Call, Prevent Showmen
from Taking UP VIM
ter Quarters

Policemen, showmen, horses and an
imals, excited spectators and frantic
street car men created a scene yester-
day which for it's oddity has seldom
been witnessed, when Sells Bros and
Floto's circuses endeavored to gain en-
trance to Agricultural park and were
prevented by the squad of policemen
which was rushed to the park on d riot
call which had been turned in from
there.
For several hours the arguments con-
tinued and for a time 1t was thought
serious trouble would be the result. The
attaches of the circuses announced sew
eral times they intended to rush mat
ters and overthrow the squad of police
men, but each time cooler counsel pre-
vailed and no damage was done.
The trouble all arose over the efforts
of the circus proprietors to gain winter
quarters. They had endeavored to Sc
cure grounds at Venice, but the citi-
zens of the seaside town objected and
they at last decided that Agricultural
park would about meet their needs.
The proprietors state they recently
saw e. r. Wright, president of the
Sixth District Agricultural association,
and understood that he had agreed Ia
allow them to use the park for three
months or during their winter season
Question of Rent
Mr. Wright admits that he was seen
by agents of the proprietors and tha'
they asked him in regard to renting
the park. He stated that he placed a
rental of $1,000 on the property for a
period of three months and the repre-
sentatives of the proprietors left, say
ing they had to confer with their prin-
cipals. Since that time he states he
has heard nothing about the matter
and was greatly surprised yesterday
when informed that the curcuses were
at the gate of the park and clamorine
for admission.
The police were called by officials
of the Los Angeles Driving club, which
each year holds races at the park. Ihey
also secured the authority of the para
board appointed by the governor te
keep the circuses out.
Meanwhile the circuses are still with
out a winter home and the animals and
attendants are being housed as well rs
possible by the management. Part OF
them are at Eastlake park, while the
remainder are scattered I'm different
parks i'm the city,
The fact that they We're not allowed
to enter the park is causing them great
inconvenience, say the shoWmen, and
they state II is their intention to gain
entrance to the park by some lawful
means, as they claim they had an
agreement with Mr.. Wright whereby
they were to be allowed its uses.
