RATES ON LUMBER
ADVANCED BY ROADS
THREE LINES JOIN HANDS TO
RAISE PRICE
New Schedule Is to Take Effect Mo-
vember 1-Shippers to File Pro-
test Before Interstate COM
merce Commission

Lumber rates have been advanced by
all steam roads. They will affect ship
ments of lumber to the east from all
Southern California points. The South
ern Pacific, Salt Lake and the Santa
Fe have Joined hands to raise the price
of freighting the article.
The advance here Is about 121h per cent
This new tariff is scheduled to go into
effect November /, but 1t is expected this
advance will not take place at the ap-
pointed time, as it is probable Southern
California dealers will file an injunction
and protest against the actions of the
roads to the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Dealers in the northern states who
experienced the advanced shipping rates
some time ago by the northern railroads,
have been shipping their cargoes to the
ports of San Pedro and Redondo.
At present the ports are crowded with
the article. The northern shippers sent
their freight by tugs to Southern Cali
fornia ports, having full confidence that
prices would not fluctuate one way or the
other and that the regular price and
profit on their shipment would not vary.
Now, however with the announcement
of the introduction of the Southern Cal
ifornia advance shipping rates, owners
of the many cargoes of lumber lying off
the harbors are seriously embarrassed.
1t is expected protest will be filed
Immediately with both the interstate
commerce commission and the railway
systems. alleging that the advance prices
are inconsistent with normal business
procedure.

LIKES MOTHERS HOME
BETTER THAN HUSBANDS
Divorce Asked on Technical Grounds
of Desertion-Judge Wants to
Question Mother-in-Law
Before Deciding

J. D. Wallace yesterday brought suit
before Judge Monroe for divorce from
his wife, Nellie Wallace. In the testi-
mony it was shown that Mrs. Wallace
left her husbands home June u, 1906, to
visit few days with her mother, Mrs.
j. w. Smith,
Mrs. Wallace failed to return home at
the expected time, and when the plaintiff
sought her at her mothers, he was given
little satisfaction. He met his wife on
the street, and asked for an explanation
she refused to talk of the trouble.
He asked for legal separation on the
grounds of desertion, but Judge Monroe
declined to grant the decree until he
had questioned the mother-in-law, so the
case was continued until o'clock this
afternoon, and a summons issued fol
Mrs Smiths appearance.

PUPILS HAVE DIFFICULTY
IN GETTING NEW BOOKS
Late Order of Board of Education
Causes Confusion in Music Read
ers-opportunity to Ex-
change Old Books

A little difficulty is being experienced
by the pupils of the public schools In
securing the new education music
reader. Previously the third and fourth
education music readers were in vogue,
but by a late order of the board of edu-
cation these have been stricken from the
curriculum and the new music reader
substituted.
Those who desire may exchange their
old books and secure the new book free
of charge by mailing the old books and
giving their names and addresses so that
the new music reader can be forwarded
to them.
Most pupils are avoiding this trouble,
though, and purchasing the new volume.
So far the exchange of the old books
for the new has caused quite bit of
confusion and book agents are not max
ing themselves liable.

THIRTY-sEvEN PLAYS,
HAVE IDENTICAL TITLE
George Broadhurst Exposes Phase o.
Copyright Law

'The Man of the Hour" which comes
to the Mason opera house next week, Is
the basis of a fresh exposition that our
copyright law, as it applies to plays, is
Ia joke. When the play was written
about year ago George Broadhurst,
the author, promptly went through the
process of copyrighting 1t. This pro-
cess Is more laborious than expensive,
for the fee is only 81, sent to the librar-
ian of congress.
The theory is that nobody else may
employ the title; the fact Is that mil
lion other plays of similar title may be
copyrighted in the time it takes to
write out the form and the receipt for
the dollar.
A day or two after the beginning of
the Chicago run of "The Man of the
Hour Messrs. Brady and Grismer, the
producers, got a warning from a
Philadelphia that they were using his
title and that he would enjoin them.
AS this was their seventh warning of
the kind, with the seventh threat of
injunction, they did not worry, but
they did send an extra $40 to the librar-
ian of congress and ask that he make
search" to ascertain If the title had
ever before been used. Further, they
requested a list of all titles that might
be regarded as colorado variants"
and of those that conveyed the same
general idea as the Broadhurst title.
Here is the catalogue of titles re-
