LANE is GETTING AT CAUSES
AmeIiorating Car Conditions in the
Northwest

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane, who
has direct charge of ameliorating coal
and car famine conditions in the North
west, is in daily receipt of hundreds of
letters from coal dealers and residents
in North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming
and Idaho.
Some of the writer's go to the extent
of saying that in many instances
freight trains have not passed railroad
stations for month or six weeks and
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been lost to the farmers and
elevator men, particularly in North Da-
kota, by reason of their failure to
move their wheat and flax.
Governor Gooding, to whom Com
missioner Lane had written for in
formation relating to conditions in
Idaho, says:
1.-THE serious trouble, it seems to me,
is the fact that among the transporta-
ton companies the one important con-
sideration in the management is the
securing Of dividends, without regard
to the service rendered to the people.
The latter obligation is entirely lost
sight Of"
The governor of Idaho informs the
commissioner that he will recommend
the creation OF a railroad commission
in his annual message to the legisla-
ture.

STOPS NORTHERN S
BIC STOCK ISSUE
MINNESOTA'S OFFICIAL GETS
INJUNCTION
Would Prevent Issuance of $60,0oo, 900
Paper by company-Commis-
sioner Lane Prods the
Roads
By Associated. Press.


ST. PAUL, Dec. 26.-Attorney Gem
eral Young of Minnesota today began
an action against the Great Northern
railroad to prevent the issue of $780,
100000 of new stock recently author
lied by the board of directors.
A permanent injunction against the
company, it's officers, agents and serv-
ants is asked for restraining them from
proceeding in any manner with the
proposed issue and from collecting
amounts due on any subscription there
for or from taking any action to carry
out the plans of the stock issue until
the company shall have made applica-
tion in writing to the railroad and
warehouse commission of Minnesota
and procured it's consent to that issue.
1t also asks for a temporary in
junction pending all litigation.
The bill of complaint recites that the
Great Northern's original authorized
capital stock was $50, ,000, 900, that being
the limit fixed by it's charter, and that
between February 1, $780, and March
l, 1896, defendant made several large
increases of stock and in March, 1896
its stock aggregated substantially $780,
100000. That all these increases were
first made without application to the
state railroad commission, as required
by law; that defendant has determined
again to increase it's capital stock, this
time to 100000, its stockholders
having been invited to subscribe tc
their pro rata of same, and that no ap-
plication has been made to the state
railroad commission.
The attorney general contends that
unless such proceedings are restrained
not only will the state be deprived OF
investigating the propriety and pur.
poses of the issue, but that the COM
pany proposes to pay the same divi-
dends, at the rate of per cent, or
the increase as upon the present cap.
italization, thus increasing the fixed
annual charges of the defendant by
the sum of $4,2OO,OOO, a great proportion
of which will have to be paid by the
roads Minnesota patrons.
The Great Northern officials were
served with papers in the case thi.
afternoon.

company have been placed In immedi-
ate service. The new cars, while pat
termed after the standard design of the
coaches now in use, are not uphol-
stored, a feature which for sanitary
purposes will prove commendable'
These cars are of much handsomeT
finish than any heretofore purchased
by the local companies.
The new cars will be distributed over
the system, larger number being
placed in use on the University, the
Boyle Heights and Seventh street and
the Pico Heights lines.
OF the 152 cars which have been
ordered by the Pacific Electric COM
pany fifty-two are expected to arrive
shortly after the first of the year. AS
soon as possible many of the old cars
in use on both the Los Angeles and
the Pacific Electric lines will be taken
off and given a general overhauling.

BIC PROFIT MADE
IN REALTY DEAL
HAMBURGER SELLS LOT ON
SOUTH HILL STREET
Advance Of $4,000 Realized in Two
Observation-Disclosures Big Store
Building to Be Rushed
to Completion

D. A. Hamburger, through the
agency of the Van Vranken- Hunter
Realty company, has sold to the Title
Insurance and Trust company, in trust
for some local investors, the property
known as the old Lang homestead, S34
South Hill street, being 6Ox161 feet and
about 12O feet south of the great Ham
burger store.
This property was purchased from
Mrs. Rosine Lang about two months
ago for 100000, and is now sold for
$135,000 making a profit of $4,000 on
this sale. Mr. Hamburger has such
confidence in this property that he has
retained an interest with the parties
purchasing it, and says the property
will be resold within a year at a price
nearer $4,000 foot. He relates how he
and w. /. Hollingsworth invested $500
apiece in a certain piece of property
and sold the same to syndicate at a
profit of sic, 500 apiece, retaining their
profits in the syndicate and when the
property was finally sold the original
$500 had earned for each of them
$32,500. In the deal Mr.. Hamburger S
original investment was $1,000, he now
earns fifteen times that amount and
retains his interest, which may earn
him as much again within year. Mr..
Hamburger says he has paid the high
chase for every piece of property he
owns, that the reason of his Success
is nerve and faith in Los Angeles and
that he purchased where he could see
profit in a resale.
II am shaping my affairs" said Mr..
Hamburger, $50 that with the opening
of spring 1 can make trip to Europe
for rest and recreation, one much
needed. In the past four years I have
devoted myself to the real estate end
of the company's business and, having
earned them several millions, 1 think
am entitled to a few months rest.
During my absence 1 shall withdraw
our properties from sale and upon my
return expect to find myself 25 per
cent better off in this worlds goods
and chattels."
Speaking of the new store, Mr.. Ham
burger says: Had we let the con-
tracts to eastern bidders instead of
desiring to keep the work at home, we
would now have almost our entire
frame up and the terra Gotta and other
work following it, and we would have
saved a great deal of time and money
AS it is, as soon as we get the frame
up, we will rush the other work day
and night, working double shifts
twenty-four hours a day until COM
pleted.
The Hamburgers have made up their
minds to push their store to compile
ton as fast as men and money can dc
it, Some people are still pessimistic
doubling that the store will be erected
but this is the result of stories circu-
lated by real estate agents to enable
them to boom other districts and to
detract from the value of properties
around the big store.
Their statement just issued shows real
estate holdings of $S,121, 100 and all
Of this the result of four years ae-
tivity in the Los Angeles realty field.

Miss Langham to Become
a Bride
Louis s. Stone, Who Has Captured the
Hearts Of Los Angeles Theater-
soers, Wins Girl Of Rare
Talent

7 OUIS S. STONE, leading man of
the Bclasco stock company, and
Margaret Langham, one of the
ingenues, will be married next Monday.
They will take a two weeks vacation
and then will settle down to home life,
while continuing to occupy their pres
ent positions in the organization.
The engagement Of these two popular
players has been an open secret among
their close friends for some time,
though their romance--for such 1t is
does not date back three months. They
never met till Mr.. Stone came here
from New York last September to be-
come the head of the Belasco forces,
with whom Miss Langham had been
playing more than year.
So far as the young people will dis
cuss the tender affair, it was love at
first sight; each became charmed with
the other, the elimination coming in
short order. Now the secret is out
and the wedding day is set the minor
details, such as it's place, the hour and
the minister, are yet to be selected.
The tour is planned, but neither will
breathe a word of it's direction, for
fear of tricks.
Both Are Very Popular
Mr.. Stone came here last fall to
succeed Joseph Galbraith, who was
very popular with local theatergoers.
He faced a devoted throng of CAL
braith admirers and made good" from
the first. He is a student, a man of
parts and a gentleman and every ap-
pearance has been a success with him,
till now he holds higher rank than was
ever accorded a local leading man.
Miss Langham, whose real name is
Margaret Huddleston, is a Chicago
girl, who made a hit with Annie Rus
sell in Mice and Men, and was also
featured with the Berkeley Lyceum
company. She is player of sterling
worth and has host of friends here,
she being especially good in parts of a
pathetic cast.
The union of these two favorites is
sure to arouse much interest among
their followers and a flood of congrat
ulations will pour in upon them They
have secured a bungalow and will set
up their own menage as soon as they
return.
They will not appear on the boards
again till the third week in January.
