Real state Active
Building activity was never more
noticeable in Santa Monica section than

have slightly retarded building opera

the general observer. In the outlying
districts scores Of cottages are being
erected to be ready for occupancy be
fore the rainy season sets in. These
are mostly of the cheaper class of
dwellings, and in some instances are
being constructed by men of the fam

the more pretentious homes now being
erected here are the following: H. F.

Folk Still After Trusts.

Kansas City, Mo.-At the request of Governor Folk, the attorney general will draft a new antitrust law, and it will be introduced for passage in the assembly this winter. The most important change in the new mea- sure will be in withdrawing the anti trust law from the civil code and placing it in the criminal code. The weakness in the present law is that its greatest penalty provides only for forfeiture of the charter of corpor ations found violating it's provisions The new law will allow criminal pros ecution of trust officials. The pro posed antitrust bill will be sent to the state assembly without the brand of a party measure. The cooperation of Governor Folk, a Democrat, and MT. Hadly, a Republican, on the pro posed measure will do much to make it popular.

 Heavy Damages.

Washington-Japan has decided to make an investigation into the killing of the Japanese poachers and to have representatives present at the trial of those who were captured fin Alaska before 1t takes any steps in the direc- tion of settling the matter.
 The Japanese government is not well pleased over the killing of it's subjects, and 1t has ignored the de- partment of state. which notified 1t that it's subjects had been killed by the Alaskan police force while raid ing the seal rookeries. It is now prob able that the Japaneses government will make a claim for indemnity.
 This investigation will be made by the Japanese embassy at Washington. It has commissioned Masanai Hani- hara. the second secretay of the em- bassy, to proceed to Alaska to make the investigation and to be present at the trial of the prisoners. who will be arraigned at Valdez, Alaska. Mir. Hanihara will leave Wednesday, and on his way west will stop at Chicago to have a conference with Solicitor Sims, of the department of commerce and labor, who made the investigation of the seal question and reported to Secretary Metcalf the killing of the Japanese.

GRIEF OVER WEES DEATH
THOMAS w. LAWSON IN STATE
 OF COLLAPSE.
Secluded From Friends and Strangers at His Country Estate, He Keeps
 Vigil Beside Wife's Casket

Boston, Mass.-That Thomas w. Lawson has collapsed mentally and physically from grief over his wife S death is the story that has been cir culated for several weeks in financial, club and social circles, and there is profound conviction that one of the most striking figures of his time may not resume the avocations which formerly were his delight
 Secluded from friends and strangers at his Dreamwold estate in Scituate. MT. Lawson keeps unceasing vigil be- side the steel casket which incloses the body of Mrs Lawson
 The casket has remained in the quaint little English cottage on the estate which she herself years ago named The Nest. Here MT. Lawson spends his whole time, day and night, breeding over his bereavement.
 Shortly after the funeral he had a lounge placed near the casket, and there began his ceaseless vigil. Ever since he has spent the great part of each day there, and the night as well. For few hours he has stretched himself upon the lounge but sleep has seldom come to him, and, after few weary hours. he has been seen by the servants of the estate to leave the cottage and wander aimlessly about the place. oblivious to his surround ings
 The prolonged vigil has told upon him both mentally and physically The strain which he has been through will, it is believed by many of his friends, render long rest and change of scene necessary to put MT. Lawson in any where near the condition he was be- fore the death of his wife
 Some of his friends and intimate acQuaintances are afraid he will never fully recover his old-time energy and interest in the affairs of the world.

CUBAN STRIFE
REBELLION SPREADS DEspirE
 SURRENDER OF LEADERS.
Revolutionary Sentiment Grows in Country Districts. and Situation
 Looks Ugly.

haVana.-The surrender of some of the more vigorous insurgent leaders Tn the provinces of Matanzas and San. Ia Clara and the coming in of a scat. teflns few insurgents in response to the governments proffer of amnesty Is vastly more than offset by the in. sufgent sentiment looming stronger daily in the country districts of the provinces of Havana, Pinar del Rio ana santa Clara and which is now re- ported to be gaining headway in San 'iago. There are grave doubts of the ioyaity of recruits, who are suspected In many quarters of willingness to join the other side, with which many of their people are identified The undeniable evidences of the growth Of insurrectionist sentiment is causing increasing doubt as to whetls CT the government will after all be able to cope promptly with the move ment
 interest centers in projected meet Ing of Cuban veterans and other promi- nent men to consider the question of approaching Pino Guerra and other insurgent commanders as well as lead CTS of the Liberal party and members of the government with a view to as certaining whether the difficulty can not be settled through some compro- mise. At the present stage of affairs, however compromise would appear to be out of the question, as the gov ernment continues confident that 1t will soon be able to suppress the movement.
 The government officials, while not denying that many people. especially the more ignorant classes, are uneasy, predict that matters will become quiet after few heavy blows have been dealt the rebels. They characterize the stories of disaffection among the government forces as inventions of the opposition newspapers and not worthy of denial.
 Meanwhile rapid-ire artillery corps is being organized under American of ficers, ammunition and guns are being unpacked and the historic Castillo de la Punta, fronting on the harbor en- trance, is the scene of greatest activ- ity.
 The insurrection in the province of Pinar del Rio has spread across the mountains to the north coast and the town of Cabanas is now in the hands of the insurgents, who are reported also to have gone in the direction of Bahia Honda. The latter place is the site of one of the United States naval stations, but it has not yet been oc- cupied for that purpose. Col. Ava los command has left the city of Pinar del Rio for Guanes, but news has been received from him. The government telegraph lines are interrupted.

WILL NOT ARBITRATE
PRESIDENT PALMA OF CUBAN RE-
 PUBLIC. PREFERS WAR.
DEFEAT OF REBELS URGENT
Declares Present Uprising Crazy Movement Without Reason or
 Program.

Havana, Cuba - President Palma gives out a statement in which he says the insurrection has no ideals and no program, and that the crisis which the insurgents raised does not constitute program, ideals or jus. ufication of the movement.
 Continuing, the president says:
 All revolutions must have pro- gram. as had our revolution for inde- pendence in 1895. Everybody at that time knew that the Cubans had re- volted against Spanish rule and had engaged in an open fight for the lib. erty of their country.
 The present movement Is more of local adventure-only a crazy move ment on the part of the discontented persons. There is no moral reason for it. The government could sus. pend the constitutional guarantees, but 1t prefers to maintain the vigor and hope of the people and avoid pos. sible excesses.
 The medical force has been in. structed to attend to all prisoners and to give wounded or sick insurgents the same attention as wounded or sick men belonging to the government forces. Any insurgent repenting oi his act can return within the pale oi the law and will not be molested. The government will have no petty spite or feeling of rancor against those who return to their senses and abandon the cause of disorder"
 President Palma Is not disposed tc employ any other method than that oi arms for the re-establlshment oi peace. He declared energetically thai the government here would absolutely never compromise with any form O disturbance of order. He argues tha the government was legitimately con stituted, was bound by it's impervioui duty and must demonstrate that 1t ii stable and able to safeguard property life and the happiness of the republic at present and in the future. Any compromise would SOW the seed o armed revolution throughout the coun try.

 It is reported that Uncle Sam's in nuence has been injected into the Gu ban situation. and that a 30 days am nesty will be the result
 The failure of the government to strike decisive blow. coupled with Guerra's failure to capture Pinar del Rio. leads to the hope that peace may come without further bloodshed.
