HARTMAN DECLARES HE
WANTS To Be GOOD
Tells Interstate Board That
He Will Obey All
Regulations

WASHINGTON, March 4.-E. H. Har-
riman, in heart-to-heart talk with the
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. told them that he and
John d. Rockefeller and the other capi-
talists controlling large group of the
railroads of America wanted to be
good" He said. in effect, that they
had decided to abandon the public be
damned policey with which they have
been credited for years, and wanted to
work in the inerests of the public and
obey all Government regulations.
Every member of. the commission was
present at today's conference except
former Senator Cockrell. who is down
South recuperating from an attack of
illness. The Commissioners were greatly
impressed with Herriman's sincerity
and promised that they would give his
roads fair treatment and would well
come any assistance that he and his
associates would give in the carrying
out of the new rate law.
The commission regards Harriman's s
declarations as indicating a complete
change in policy. In fact, his entire
course since coming to Washington has
indicated that he wanted to get into
touch with the powers that be and that
the recent investigation at New York
into the affairs of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific. Baltimore and Ohio
and I-..cago and Alton roads have
made a lasting impression on him.
Among other things touched upon
by Hartman in his talk with the Com
missioners today was the changes in
the equipment of the railroads that he
considered necessary in the future. He
said that the size of cars now In use
was too small and that the time had
come for car with a capacity of at
least 100000 pounds. He expressed
himself as favoring the most strin-
gent regulations that could be framed
to prevent wrecks and bring to the
travelling public the greatest measure
of safety.

SAN JOSE, March 4-Mexicans
poured into San Jose yesterday from
all parts of the county, as they used
goes came" On foot, on horseback
and in every conceivable style of ve-
hicle they swarmed in, every neighbor-
ing town furnishing its quota.
The occasion was the farewell din
ner of Rev. Father Heredia, S. j., a
well-loved Mexican priest, who for the
past three years has labored jealous
ly in the local Mexican colony, which
numbers several thousand souls.
When the priest came here from
Mexico City three years ago he found
conditions in the large colony Were
far from edifying. Setting to work
as an ordinary missionary, he went
every day for two years from house
to house. playing with the children
and speaking to the parents in their
native tongue.
By means of Mexican dinners he
drew the people to his side on Sun
day and soon gathered a following @:
several thousand.
Father Heredia's health recently
broke down. He underwent critical
operation, and was notified by his ply
sicians that he would have to seek a
complete rest in a more salubrious
cline Regretfuiiy the priest two weeks
ago announced that he would return
to his home city in Mexico. and i'm
mediately Catholic women of the city.
together with Father Heredia's dark
skinned friends, who now idolize their
pastor began preparations for the
monster dinner which was given today
in true Mexican style.
The feast took place in st. Josephs
big hall on San Fernando street. and
was a continuous affair, lasting from
noon till $50 in the evening.
Society girls acted as mattresses and
cleared the tables and reset them Is
fast as the people came and went.
1t is estimated that 5000 were ac
commodated. The proceeds will go
into a handsome testimonial to Father
Heredia and as a tidy addition to the
restoration fund of ST. Josephs Church.
Father Heredia will leave for the
south some time this week.

Bell Of Los Angeles, having been told
that the committee on public morals.

on the bill, introduced a resolution
asking that II be reported out.
Bell declared that Leavitt of Ala

had told him that 1t would be useless
to expect any consideration of the bill
at the hands of the committee.
He told me that I might introduce
this resolution, but that nothing would

another thing about this bill that /
would like to call the atteption of the
Senate to. Resolutions were adopted
al the last Republican convention held
in Los Angeles denouncing racetrack
gambling and instructing the members
elected TO this body from that county
TO lend their support to securing legis-
lation prohibiting poolselling and book
making. Unless the Republican mem
bers of the Los Angeles delegation are
determined TO repudiate their party
pledges, they viii be bound to support
this bill and this resolution"
Wolfe of San Francisco rose to a
point of order and declared that Bell
should confine himself to discussing
the resolutions he had submitted
rather than the merits OF the Eshle-
man bill. Bell agreed that the dis
tinguished and academic president pro

order. but finished what he had to say
about the "pernicious influence of rae
ing"

ferred by his mother, lies little ro-
nance. Young Scatena's bride, pretty
descendant of an old Spanish line ana
the cause of all the trouble. was wooed
and won in spite of the opposition or
the lovers parents, and detectives ana
automobiles figured in the winning.
Six months ago, at an Admission day
ball, Scatena met the girl, now his bride
of week, then Miss Rosa Gonzales OF
Santa Cruz. Love at first sight and
the exchange of a ring and pin began
the courtship which teTG1fnated Mon
day a week ago, when the pair were
secretly married in Oakland. Their
troubles began early. however, as the
mother of the bridegroom, who had en-
tertained the hope of seeing her son
married into the nobility of Europe.

taken place. had the pair arrested In

race to the park with a machine
which their followers Immediately en-
gagged, succeeded in giving the sleuths
the slip and, abandoning the auto near
the Chutes. took a car for the ferry
and were married two hours afterward
across the bay.
Later the young couple were arrested
and were placed on trial on a vagrancy
charge in the police court yesterday.
The cases were both continued until
Wednesday, when Mrs. Scatena, the
mother, says she will begin legal ac
tion to have her sons marriage an
nulled on the ground that he still lacks
three months of being of age. Judge
Cabaniss. in order TO prevent the pair
from leaving the city, ordered the
bride into custody, but the groom OBJ
jected and, at his own request. was led
back to his cell. while the girl was al
lowed to go.

Gebate attended the defeat in the Sen
bte today OF the bill introduced by
Miller OF visalia providing for the i'm
position OF fines on railroads for re-
fusing TO supply cars TO shippers
The bill was a fac-simile OF the ia

m operation for twelve years. 1t was
Introduced by Miller. at the request
Of Bakersfield oil men. who have been
erippled by the Southern Pacific and
bther railroads leagued with the
Rockefeller interests, and also at the
request OF citrus growers and orchard
lists, who have been complaining OF
fruit rotting on the ground because Of
the shortage OF cars. Miller pointed
out that oregon was TO pass a similar
law and that the position OF California
relative to that State and Texas made
the passage OF the bill very desirable
legislation.
Wolfe OF San Francisco thought the
bin unconstitutional because ii sought
10 penalize a railroad for something
which it might not be able to do. He
referred to the great congestion Of
freight throughout California and said
the popular disposition was 10 over
Eriticize the railroads
Caminetti OF Amador sprang into the
lists and enlivened things with a long
Indictment against the railroads. he
read from a report Of Commissioner
Of Corporations Garfield on the dis
rriminations practiced by the railroads
IN California, and quoted from a mes
sage Of Governor Pardee and testimony
taken before the Interstate Commerce
