Where the Lusitania has square trunks
With hinged covers for the ventilation OF
the stockholds, the Mauretania has
wide -mouthed ordinary cowls. and as
they are a good deal higher they some
what enhance the appearance of the ves-
sci.
Then, again, on closer, inspection, the
promenade deck and also the boat deck
above are seen to project over the shelter
deck by about two feet for nearly three
fourths of the length of the vessels This.
On the two decks ON which this arrange
snent has been carried out, makes an ap-
preciable addition to the free space for
rromenading on both sides of the vessel.
Architectural Decoration
Internally, while the arrangement Of
the various apartments is almost identi-
cal in the two vessels, there is an entire
contrast in the architectural treatment
and decoration. Speaking broadly, the
prevailing aspect of the public rooms in
the Lusitania is one of lightness and
brightness, the outcome of a liberal use
of light-colored enamels and gilt. In the
Mauretania, on the other hand costly
woods in their natural colors are relied
upon for decorative effect, producing
what might be described as an impress
Both scehemes of decoration are sue
cessful in their own way, and preference
for the one or the other will differ ac-
cording to the tastes or temperament Of
the individual. Some more detailed idea
of the principal rooms in the Maure-
tania may be given.
The dining saloon and upper saloon are
in oak In the Francis / style, beautifully
carved. In the main entrance hall and
staircase the design is italian renais-
sance, carried out In French walnut, and
the same style in the same wood, with
the addition of satinwood inlay, is used
with fine effect in the smoking room.
The library is done in sycamore of a
gray shade, and is furnished In
Louis XVI style, and the same style is
carried out in the lounge and music
room In mahogany, with large tapestry
panels flanked by duplicate pillars Of
grained marble. The state rooms and
regal suites of rooms are variously treat
ed in Adams, Georgian and Sheraton
styles.
Equal taste and not much less expendi-
ture have been bestowed on the second
class accommodates, in which the din
ing saloon is in oak after the Georgian

The ship is provided with lounge and

influenced by a revived appreciation of
the Louis Seize period. The lounge is
finished In, mahogany, white and gold.
The woodwork of the library is of syca-

represented and are of unusual richness.
While everything has been done to
make the Mauretania as beautiful as pos

Her double bottom is divided by the ver-
tical keel and transverse frames into
compartments in which water ballast
may be carried.

Proposed Horizontal Increase in IL.
censs Tax Would Yield Mrnici-
paIlty 100000 More
Yearly

After a conference between police Of
ficials yesterday it was decided to ask
Mayor A. C. Harper shortly TO prepare a
message to the city council recommends
ing horizontal increase in all liquor
licenses.
1t is proposed to raise the saloons tax
from 500 to $3.50 a month, restaurants sell
ing liquor from SIS to $125 a month and
wholesalers from $75 TO st00 month. This
will bring about 100000 more into the city
treasury annually.
Such a course was mapped out long ago
by the administration, and the news viii
come as no surprise to the liquor interests
1t will have the active support of tho
finance committee of the council.
Though the number of thirst-qucnching
establishments is restricted in Los An
geles the increase of population and the
heavy tourist travel is such that the ad-
ditional tax will prove no burden, the ad-
ministration advisers think.
Councilman Wallace has stated he would
favor making the rates much higher. while
Councilman Healy says they are high
enough. These men represent the ex-
ftremes of opinion in the aldermanic body
on that subject
When the increase is voted the first step
will be to augment the police force by
100 men This win use up about 100000.
The other 100000 will 60 to other urgent
needs of the city.
Councilmen viii probably quickly fall
into line on the idea because the added
income viii enable them to get Dement'S
for their wards, and no opposition to the
measure Is expected when the message
is read.
The idea has the tact support OF the
leading liquor men themselves. as they
have stated they prefer an increase In
rates rather then to have the council
establishments and get the needed funds
in that way.

tania, though at first sight Identical with
the Lusitana, exceeds that vessel slight
ly In size so that the palm of being the
greatest YES -el which the world has ever
seen is "ansferred to the Mauretania,
She also differs from her sister ship in
the matter of internal decora ton. Prob
ably no vessel has ever had bestowed
upon this branch of its structure SO
much i..ought or such striving after a
tasteful result as has been the case with
the Maurctania. N
The result is a series of public rooms
and private staterooms devised with ex-
cellent taste In a style conveying a sense
of richness ithout the garishness which
so often chara-terizes the decorations of
expensive modcrl structures. So sue
cessful the result that the effect upon
the passenger is that of being in some
richly decorated country seat or palace.
