THE srlaus1-s OF ROYALTY.
Customs Governing the Relations OF
King With His Associates.


The divinity that doth hedge king
expresses itself in some curious ways.
and to people who are not accustomed
to assoclating with these exalted per
sonages royal etiquette Is In many
points very puxxiing. says the Ladies'
Field To those who meet Queen Al
exandra constantly It probably does
not seem strange to address her as
ma'am, but to unaccustomed ears this
monosyllable does not sound quite re-
spectful. The Queen is addressed as
ma am by all the members OF the up
per classes, the term your majesty"
being rarely used except on formal oc-
casions. while the Princess OF Wales
and all the princesses Of the blood
royal OF England are addressed In the
same way. The King. the Prince OF
Wales and all the other English prin-
ces are addressed as sir. Yet foreign
princes and princesses bearing the title
of serene highness must not be adj
dressed as sir or mann. but as prince
and princess.
Another curious bit OF royal eu-
quetts provides. according to the au-
thority frst quoted, that when men,
bers OF the royal family are present at
. dinner finger glasses must be sup
piled for their use at dessert. but not
for the other guests.
When the King and Queen play
bridge or any other round game money
fresh from the mint must be provfd-
cd and when any member OF the
reigning families joins In a game OF
cards new money is usually supplied.
Invitations from the sovereign. as

Only the death of near relative. ser

rect to write to the royal parsonage

A fine point of royal etiquette Is that
a man or woman who has not been
presented at court cannot sit at the
same table as royal guest, and this
irrespective of his or her rank, riches
or position. Sometimes the royal per-
sonage may especially invite the I'M

Southern Pacific Pays Million Dollars
for Oregon Line, Which Adds

Railroad News

Monday afternoon the property own
ers on Hill street who are nxious that
ers on Hill street who are anxious that
soon as possible will present another
ordinance to the city council.
In this ordinance the demands of the
Los Angeles Pacific railway are more
modest than the terms it first pro-
posed.
In the new ordinance the railway
company only asks a railroad franchise
from First street through the tunnel
from First street to Temple and con-
Meeting with its Sunset boulevard lines.
This franchise, 1t agrees, may be lin
tied to twenty-one years, and the city
may purchase the franchise and tracks
at the expiration of that time.
Previously the railway company de-
manded a perpetual franchise from
Fourth street to its Sunset boulevard
tracks and insisted that It be q rail-
road franchise.
Under the terms of a railroad fran
chise the Los Angeles Pacific would
have better opportunities than under a
street railway franchise. According to
the city attorney a railroad franchise
Is perpetual. 1t carries with. ii the
privilege of carrying freight and 1t
cannot be put up for competitive bid
ding.
This ordinance was to have been pre-
sented to the council at it's meeting
last Wednesday, but as the city attor-
ney advised that no ordinance could
be passed Wednesday with any asslir-
ance of legality, it was held over until
Monday.

FIREMEN HURT

genee Of Railway Men
Charged

Three firemen were injured, two Sc
riously, as the result of a collision Of
a hose wagon of engine company NO
and car No. ISL of the Los Angeles
Railway company at Twenty-fourth
and Main streets at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning.
According to witnesses the car crew
We're to blame for the accident, hav-
ing utterly disregarded the signals of
several bystanders to stop as the fire
apparatus rushed by responding to
fire alarm.
Lieut.. D. w. Trowbrldge, living at
2lO4 Maple avenue, sustained frac-
tured left leg and internal injuries.
Driver Harry Hicks was internally
injured and sustained cuts and
bruises
He was taken to the California hos
pital and was reported to be resting
easily last night.
Hoseman G. II. Gridley suffered
bruises and cuts on the head. He was
treated at the receiving hospital and
later was able to return to the engine
house.
Engine company 7 was resnonding
to an alarm at Forty fourth and Fig
ueroa streets. AS Driver Hicks neared
Main street, on Twenty-fourth street,
car No. 981 came along at a rapid rate
or speed, witnesses say, and, despite
the warning signals of pedestrians
crashed into the hose wagon, hurting
the occupants to the pavement and
seriously injuring the horses and
wreckng the wagon.
Chief Lips viii Investigate
Driver Hicks and Lieutenant Trow-,
bridge We're the most seriously injured
while Hoseman Gridley escaped with
trifling injuries. owing to his leap from
the wagon at the time of the collision.
The motorman of the car was G.. A,
Bazoni and the conductor was G.. w.
Clark.
The members of the fire department
assert positively that the car crew dis
regarded the signals to stop and de-
liberately crashed into the apparatus.
An investigation will be made by
Chief Lips and the blame for the ac-
cident fixed If possible,
Members of the same company were
injured in a similar accident at
Twenty-fourth and Maple avenue sew
eral weeks ago when Maple avenue
car crashed into the hose wagon of
engine company Z, wreckng the wagon
and injuring three fremen.
1t is asserted that the car crew of
the Los Angeles Railway company dis
regarded the city ordinance requiring
them to stop their cars on the ap-
proach of fire apparatus and have by
their tactics frequently retarded the
firemen from responding to an alarm
A communication will be sent to the
city council Monday informing the
councilmen of the difficulty of certain
companies in answering fire alarms,
owing to the stand taken by the EN-
ployes of the street car companies.
AS it is now. it is alleged, the fire.
men take extraordinary risks in re-
spending to an alarm, owing to the
failure of the car crews to stop their
coaches on the approach of the ap-

CITY EXPECTS TO OIL
SIXTY MILES OF STREETS
BOARD HAS 10000 ALLOWED BY
THE COUNCIL
Expenditures Will Be Made Only
After Santa Monica Methods Have
Been Tested on Los Angeles Thor
oughfares

Sixty miles of streets are to be oiled
before winter sets in if possible.
This was the statement made by
President Anderson of the board of
public works yesterday.
To do this work the board has been
allowed $4,000 by the city council,
which is within $500 of the estimate
made for the work.
The great bulk of the work will not
be attempted until experiments have
been made with the Santa Monica
method of oiling streets. The board
has investigated the work done at
Santa Monica and feels confident that
good results can be obtained in this
city by the same process, but will try
il on some Los Angeles streets before
formally adopting 1t as the official
process.
James Hanley, chief inspector of
public works, returned from his vaca-
tion yesterday and his first official
action on his return was to hold con-
ference with the board of public works
concerning the oiled streets.

WHY GOOD NEWS WAS DELAYED
Dividend Announcements Withheld in
Favor of Market
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-A statement
was isued from the executive offices
of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany today, giving the details of the
manner in which the Union and South
ern Pacific directors met Wednesday
and authorized action upon the divi-
dends by the executive committee.
The committee, however, did not meet
until p. m. on Thursday, and final
notice of the declaration of the dvi-
dends was delivered to the secretary
of the stock exchange before 10 a. m.
Friday
Mr.. HELEN, the assistant secretary
of the Union Pacific, said in addition
that there had been criticism of the
action of the company in not announc-
ing the dividends at the meetings on
Thursday. He said this would have
given an advantage to the London
stock market by giving it the first ben
eft of the news, and that it was con-
sidered fair to save this advantage for
the New York stock market by with

BUYS A SECOND TRUNK LINE
Hartman Gets Hold of Important
Southeastern Oregon Branch

BY Assoc ted Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S-The
Southern Pacific officials paid over
d00O,000 yesterday to close deal
made five or six weeks ago by which
the Southern Pacific comes into pos
session of the Coos Bay, Roseburg &
Eastern railroad in southeastern
oregon.
The transaction is one of the big
gest deals since the fire affecting San
Francisco capitalists.
1t means a distinct and pronounced
development of the Hartman plans to
have two trunk lines between San
Francisco and Portland. the same as
there are now between this city and
Los Angeles.
The road the Southern Pacific has
just bought starts from Marshfeld and
runs in southern direction to Myrtle
Point, a short distance from the Cali
fornia and Oregon line. BY the way
of Myrtle Point, Marshfield and Drain
Hartman and his associates expect
soon to develop a north coast line from
San Francisco to Portland. Between
Drain and Portland the present Mount
Shasta line will be used.
