REFUSE RATES
WANT COMMISSION TO MAKE
i RULING
Action of Central Association Believed
to Be Result of Jealousy That
Los Angeles Secured N.
E. A. Convention

The railroad committee of the N. E.
A. is just a trifie anxious over the stand
taken by the Central Passenger asso-
citation in declining to make special
rates for the pedagogues who will trek
across the continent to Los Angeles in
July. This association includes the
roads east of Chicago, and it's failure to
make special rates for the educators
threatens complications of several sorts.
Already rumor Is current that a rup-
ture between the Transcontinental and
Central Passenger associations is im-
minent.
When the railroad committee of the
N. E. A. approached the passenger asso-
Citations for special rates the Transcon-
tinental made a rate of one fare, plus
50, the membership fee of the N. E. A.
1t is the intention of the roads, after
collecting this fee, to turn 1t over to the
N. e. A. treasury.
The Central association, it is said,
voted to make a similar rate, but failed
to do so, alleging that it feared such
concession would be violation of the
interstate commerce law.

SONS viii Be Contributed to
Make Annual Carnival
a Success

Early comers in Los Angeles great
Fiesta will have another treat in store
for them which the later arrivals will
miss altogether. This is the annual
rose carnival and May festival given
by the Southern California Horticul-
tural society. Beginning the first of
May, the floral exhibit will continue for
five days
Present arrangements promise the
largest flower show ever held In the
history of the society. Morley's Grand
Avenue rink has been engaged and this
will give three times as much space
for flowers as has been available at
former shows.
Roses, sweet peas and carnations
the choicest blooms Of the flower gar
den of California-will be on exhibi-
ton, thousands of plants and blossoms
now being grown for the show. Other
flowers of this section will also blend
in the harmonious display.
Besides the better known flowers
Southern California florists will also
exhibit many of their rarities. New
and uncommon varieties Of many kinds
will be on exhibition, and the display
will be educational to the Californian
almost as much as to his eastern
cousin,
Each evening some special feature
will add to the beauty and interest of
the show. May pole dances, special
designs by leading florists and unique
attractions presided over by the ladies
of Christ church, including a tea gar
den and refreshment booths, are ex-
pected to add to the popularity Of the
flower show.

Want Commissions Opinion

Since then, although it has not refused
to make the rate, the passenger asso-
citation has declared that 1t could not
do so till the interstate commerce COM
mission had passed on the legality of
the special rate. Lines farther east
than those controlled by the Central also
refused to make the rate, questioning
it's legality and declaring their inten-
ton of waiting till the interstate COM
mission should pass on 1t.
The commission will undoubtedly
stand by the pedagogues. DR.. Irwin
Sheppard, secretary of the N. e. A.,
received word from the commission that
1t will hand down an opinion sustain
ing the legality both of the rate and the
collection of the 81 membership fee.
The eastern roads are doing nothing
and seem to be waiting till the commits
sion has handed down an official ruling.
In some quarters the statement is made
that the eastern lines are trifle pro-
voked that Los Angeles got the con-
vention instead of Philadelphia, which
also made strong bid for 1t. To this
is attributed their u willingness to CO.
operate with the western roads in MAX
ing the Los Angeles meeting the sue
cess 1t should be.

The Benzonzer Cure:
Three years ago while living in st.

weeks the doctors said / had quick con-
sumption and that both of my lungs were
badly diseased. l was helpless in bed at
the very beginning and our regular family
doctor gave me up, saying there was no
help for me. A lady friend of mine came
to see me and told us that her husband
was cured by using the Bensonzer Inhal-
ing Treatment. My husband went at once
to your office and secured the treatment,
and in q week 1 began to improve and
gradually recovered my strength, and In
three or four months my cough and ex-
pectoratlon ceased entirely, since then my
health has been perfect We moved to
this city last September and If l can aid
you and help other sufferers to the cure

N. {. A. CONVENTION
WELL ADVERTISED
BIG SCHEME PLANNED BY
COMMITTEE
Every fastener with Friends in Cali
fornia Will Receive Souvenir
Postal Showing Some
Beauty Spot

One of the largest advertising schemes
conceived in years is that of the pub
iicity committee of the N. E. A., which
will meet in this city July to IL in
elusive. This comprises no less wide
spread a plan than to send to every
easterner who has a California friend
an illustrated postal of some California
beauty spot, and at the same time in
formation of the low rates to this state
which will prevail during the conVen-
tion time.
The scheme as outlined by Eugene
Hallet and Robert o. Hoedel is as
follows: Communications have been
addressed to the principals of all the
schools in the state, requesting them
to have the pupils state how many
friends they or their parents have in
the east, to whom they write. The
principals of each school will report
the total number to Mr.. Hoedel and
the chamber of commerce or other civic
organization at that place will have
Photographic cards made of one of the
beauty spots of that section. In addi-
tion to the scene each card will have
the following communication printed
on a space reserved for that purpose:
Come to California
aren't you coming to California to
attend the N. e. A. convention at Los
Angeles July to 12? The rate is only
one fare plus $2. This will give you
a good chance to have a summer out
ing at small expense. Be sure to stop
off at and spend a few days
with us" Then follows a blank space
for little personal message
Every school child in the state will
be supplied with as many cards as he
or she cares to use.
The publicity promoters have secured
yet another block of free advertising
that will do much to bring the con-
vention before the east. Every COM
munication of the California promotion
committee, with headquarters at San
Francisco, which goes outside Of the
state carries within 1t six-leaf folder
describing the convention, special at
fractions, rates. etc. Chambers of COM
merce throughout the state are inclos-
ing these little folders in their eastern
mail; merchants and business men all
over California are doing the same, and
almost every business communication
that crosses the California state line
is carrying to the cast information con-
cerning the great meeting of peda-
gogues scheduled for July.
VIII Excuse Pupils
The dean of the University of Cali
fornia summer session is also making
special concessions to the pupils to
help swell the throng at the convention.

advantage of the educational adVan-
tages afforded by this gathering of the
country's finest pedagogues he will eX-

Asthma Cured

210 South Indiana ST., Boyle Heights,
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 10, 1907.
The Bensonizer Cure:
Six years ago, while living in Council
Bluffs, Iowa, was suffering severely with
chronic nasal catarrh and the doctors
operated on my head and removed some
polypus from my nose and soon there
after 1 began to choke up and have
asthma. This horrible disease drove me
to California, the doctors saying that in
warmer climate 1 would not suffer from
asthma. / came here five years ago. but
found little or no relief and gradually
grew much worse, trying all kinds of
remedies and different doctors until the
last year I was in constant distress and
unable to work at my trade. This fall,
when wet weather began was in horrible
condition, and my lungs began to fill up.
My family physician told my wife that
was past help, and 1 got so that 1 could
not sleep nor eat and coughed terribly.
Could not lie down in bed at all for fear
of choking to death. This was my condi-
ton when I went to 626 West Sixteenth
street Upon examination your specialist
told me he could positively cure me and
could give me immediate relief. He gave
me one inhalation and told me to come
back in the afternoon and get two more
treatments and 1 would sleep that night.
I could not walk alone at this time, but
with my wifes help I got to your office
and that night l slept and ever since L
have had no trouble, and in weeks time
the doctors said 1 could go to work. And
for the past month I have worked at
building my house harder than 1 have
ever worked, and remain perfectly well.
All this has been done since December
10, 1906. Hoping to help other miserable
suffering humanity to guide them to this
wonderful cure, prompts me to write this.
Send them all to me and let them see for
themselves what you have done for me.
Truly yours. FRED F. PETERSON.

Railroads are in session to-day at the Of

The New York Central is understood 20
be leading the party which favors the re-

foremost opponent.
The purpose of the proposed reduction
is said to be a desire to test the financial
result Of the two cent rate on the rail-
roads that companies may have positive
information with which 10 meet legislation
restricting their rates
some OF the railroad men think there
will be so heavy a loss that they viii be
