STEAMSHIP LINES
HAVE ADVANTAGE
CAN CHANGE THEIR TARIFFS
ON SHORT NOTICE
Conference Before Interstate Conn
meroe Commission Brings Up
New crlevances-General
Railroad News
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Dec. 11.-At con-
ference today between railroad and
steamship representatives and mem-
bers of the interstate commerce COM
mission the question was raised as to
whether steamship lines taking freight
from a point in the United States to a
point in an adjacent foreign country, to
be transported to another point by Joint
arrangement with a railroad, is subject
to the interstate commerce law requir-
ing 80 days notice before publishing q
Joint or through tariff by way of this
route.
Specific Incidents were cited in the
case of the Pacific Steamship company
carving merchandise from San Fran
cisco to Victoria, B. c., by way of the
Canadian Pacific to interior points in
that country, and on freight shipped to
Mexico.
]. G. Stubbs of the Union Pacific COM
pany said the Ward steamship line
carried freight from New York to Mex
lean ports by way of Tampico and the
Mexican National people prevented sue
cessful competition because they can
change their tariffs on twenty-four
hours notice, and that the railroads
of this country must give thirty days
notice.
He said the railway companies wished
to be placed on an equal footing with
the steamship lines in competition in
this business.
1t was announced that the Canadian
Pacific has volunteered its tariffs via
steamship line filed with the commits
sion.

LEADS POLICEMAN ASTRAY
WiId-Eyed Barber Runs Merry Race
with Officer Through Busi-
ness Streets

H. F. Graham, a barber employed at
the Hotel Nadeau barber shop rushed
into the central police station last night
and excitedly demanded that an officer
be sent with him at once to First and
Broadway. He was breathless from
long running and could not explain
what was wanted, but the officer went
with him unquestioning.
Through rain and the deep muddy
waters that flooded the street the man
ran like mad and turning at First and
Broadway without stopping and dashed
at a clip across the corner with his
course toward the Waldorf saloon. The
officer called halt and stopped in ex-
haustion, but only for a moment, for
the man ahead of him was continuing
the pace unabated and the officer
guessed that a murder had been COM
mitted from the mans agitation.
He dived into the Waldorf saloon,
peered closely beneath all the tables in
the little booths opposite the bar, and
then leaped eagerly toward the rear.
Here he searched aimlessly for frac-
tion of a moment, and then flew out
again, slamming the front door of the
saloon behind him in the face of the
officer.
The policeman was a close follower
and the crowd in the barroom Joined in
the chase. Like a scurry of the wind
and rain that beat the face, the man
leaped and jumped in his flight down
the street toward Second, turning at
the corner and running toward the
Nadeau hotel. He as quickly returned
and was continuing the race when the
| policeman caught him.
Now give an account of yourself
Do you think this thing is funny?" de-
nanded the officer, irritably.
| The man looked injured and said:
mo this is no joke. Follow me
and"- he started to run, but the Off
Ger grabbed him.
''No you don't. Tell me what's the
matter or to Jail you go for bug
house,"
The man could not or would not tel
what he wanted of the officer, and he
was taken to Jail and booked as drunk
after being given stern lecture by the
sergeant on the evils of taking toe
much Los Angeles whisky.

EsPEE STARTS ATLANTIC BOATS
Fastest Steamers Ply Between New
York and New Orleans

Commencing in December, the Allan
tic steamship lines of the Southern Pa
cific company will have three fine new
modern passenger steamers in service
between New Orleans and New York,
connecting with San Francisco-New Or
leans trains.
They will be known as the Creole,
Antilles and Momus, and will be the
largest American vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade. 1t is also interesting
to note that the Creole is the first
American built ocean-going twin-screw
turbine steamship. The Momus and
Antilles are fitted with three double
ended boilers, the largest ever built in
America.
dimensions-length, 440 feet; beam, SO
feet-and the internal arrangements
are identical.
In the superstructure amidShips ac-
commodations are furnished for 152
passengers. An especially attractive
feature is that the state rooms are all
outside rooms, light airy, excellently
furnished and comfortable, and can be
reached from any other part without
necessity of stepping out on the deck
There are four luxurious suites consist
ing of parlor, bed room and bath room.
The dining room, library, smoking
room, bar and barber shop are each
furnished in distinctive style.
Each vessel is fitted with a double
bottom, and the hull is divided into
twenty-five water-tight compartments.
There is a complete electric plant with
turbine generators, electric lights, elec-
trio heaters, call bells, also fire detect
ing and extinguishing, fumigating and
disinfecting systems.
The Momus, Antilles and Creole have
been designed for speed of sixteen
knots per hour, or aborH eighteen and
one-half statute miles, which is higher
than the maintained speed of any ves-
sci engaged today in American coast
wise service.
The new steamer Momus makes it's
first trip from New York December 12,
to be followed by others of the fleet.

ODD FELLOWS
Several Hundred Faithful Followers of
Semi-Tropic Lodge Gather Around
Festal Board at Anniversary
Celebration

Members of the Semi-Tropic Lodge
No. 81, 1. o. o. F., celebrated their
fifteenth anniversary last evening in
odd Fellows hall with a program and
speeches, followed by a banquet and
whist contest.
Theodore A. Bell, grand master, was
to have spoken but he was unable to
attend. Hugh S. Carnes, past grand
master of Missouri, gave an address,
emphasizing particularly the higher
ideals of fellowship and it's great fra
ternal privileges. He eulogized the
women of the order and told of the
great influence they had had, especi-
ally in the last few decades, and he
noted particularly that the Rebekah
lodge was the strongest organization
of women in the world. He said;
II believe that fellowship is practi-
cal demonstration of the kindness that
should possess the heart of everyone
and also that it is the greatest factor
in the development of the human race. "
Chaplain George Coulson gave the
address of welcome and in humorous
way, all his own, made everyone feel
comfortable. He said:
"We are all one great family and so
the father does not need to make long
speech of welcome when his children
come home"
Prafessor j. c. Marchena gave pi-
ano solo and the Fay orchestra played
an overture.
Members of Rebekah lodge were the
hostesses at the banquet and they ac-
quilted themselves royalty Several
hundred covers were laid and the MEM
bers themselves, gowned in white, with
a sprig of holly in their hair, served the
food. The tables were decorated with
large yellow chrysantemums and gera-
NUNS, while from each chandelier
hung a red Christmas bell. Red, white
and blue streamers were intermingleo
with pink and green. the two lodge
colors and ferns and smilax We're fes-
tooned on the walls.
Memorial hall, where the program
was given, was decorated with pottec
plants and roses and the red Christ
mas bells.

GAS HAS ONE GOOD FRIEND

A. Williamson, laborer living on
Santa Monica avenue, came down town
yesterday for the purpose of paying a
81 gas bill. When taken to the police
station he had in addition to the gas
receipt asbottle of whisky, two bottles
of beer and was so intoxicated he
could not keep his feet.
He was found on Main street wildly
flashing the gas receipts and inform
ing every person he met that even
il the company did not supply the
gas he was willing to pay the bills
they sent around. He will be taken
to court this morning where he will
be given a chance to explain how pay
ing gas bill affects him SO strangely.

NUTLEY, N. j.. Dec 11.--A party of
four young men in a big red touring
car made themselves exceedingly
troublesome in Washington avenue.
Nutley and in the end one of the num-
oer was soundly thrashed. The young
men evidently thought they owned the
thoroughfare and made it unpleasant
for drivers of horses by persisting in
heading off all attempts to pass in
either direction.
Finally the machine bumped into a
loaded farm wagon driven by George
Spragg, and the latter was hurled into
the road. Spragg was lighting mad. He
jumped to his feet, reached over the side
of the auto, grasped one of the fellows
by the neck and pulled him out.
Then he whipped him until he begged
for mercy, after which he threw him
back into the car He started for the
others, but the chauffeur put on speed
and the auto disappeared In the fast

PARIS, Dec. 11.--This is a historic
day for France. The struggle which
began in 1880 with the Punishment OF
the Jesuits ended today with the legal
rupture of the bond which for prac-
tically thousand uninterrupted years
had united church and state.
By refusing to make the required
declarations under the public meeting
law of 1881 public Catholic worship
except by schismatic organiza tions, tc.
morrow becomes illegal.
The scenes in some of the churches
were extremely touching. Not in years
had there been such an attendance at
mass.
The number of women was especially
large and was noteworthy as indicat-
ing the religious indifference of the
male population.
Although seven-eighths of the iu-
habitants of the city are nominally
Catholics, in no parts of the city were
the churches crowded. Even at Notre
Dame cathedral, where solemn high
mass was celebrated, the ediflce was
only half filed.
The officiating clergy read the regu-
lag offices for the week IS usual, with
out referring to their illegal status to-
morrow. Nevertheless, the depression
of the Catholics was manifest.
Many women emerged from the
cathedral, their eyes streaming with
tears and lingering on the pavement
to discuss what to do when the clergy
are turned out of their churches.
Temperance May Prevail
But, on the eve of the struggle, it is
becoming more apparent that both the
government officials and higher &C.
clesiastics are resisting the advice of
the Incorporate Minister of Public
Worship BRAND announces that the
government o-nnot be driven into the
trap of closing the churches" and Car
dinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, has
strongly censured the placarding of ap-
peals to the clergy to make violent re-
distance to the officers.
mo violence he says, "but passive
resistance to the unjust law, after ex-
hausting all protests at every step"
| This is the disposition so far as the
higher ecclesiastics' are concerned, but
their followers evidently have no in
tention to submit and are preparing to
assume the role of martyrs, abandon
the churches and organize private wor-
ship.

ARTISTS
TO HOLD EXHIBIT

The newspaper artists-those men of
the pen and brush who brighten up the
columns of the dailies-are going to
show Angelenos that their work is not
altogether confined to newspapers, in
an exhibition which promises to attract
people from far and wide.
The Alexandria hotel parlors have
been chosen as the place, and Decem-
ber Is, 10 and 20 as the time. There are
to be sketches and cartoons on view,
such as will surprise some of the good
people, as some of these same good peo-
pie are the subjects of them.
l was permitted last evening to have
peek at a few on the promise that l
would not tell anything about them,
and if / were not an exception to the
rule of people who cannot keep secret
would tell just how interesting they
are.
Many of the good points of local not
ables, as well as few of the hobbies
and weak spots, are to be portrayed.
There will be serious subjects and COM
ical subjects, and a few that cannot
properly come under either class, for
they occupy a class all their own,
known only to the artists. Especially
attractive promises to be the exhibition

that will make the productions of
