WIDOWS PURSUE

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-Dr. ottoman Ear
Adushi-Hanish, high priest of the sun
worshippers, who is now involved in a
lawsuit in Lowell, Mass, in which
Mrs. Mabel Dutton is attempting to
prevent her aged aunt from leaving
her fortune to the Persian, is travelling
toward Los Angeles, pursued, by two
wealthy and well known Chicago wild
ows. Each widow is trying to beat
the other to the coast and be first in
the heart of the mystic.
Hanish, on the other hand, is making
every effort to avoid them and will try
to keep his address in the California
city a secret from them. The two
widows according to the Misses Eileen
Elizabeth and Minnie Clements, who
with their mother, have been followers
of Hanish for seven years, are only two
of dozens who have been exerting theiI
wiles in an effort to win the favor OF
the doctor.
Aroused by the criticism aimed al

TRAFFIC COMPACT
CAUSES SENSATION
NEW FREIGHT ARRANGEMENTS
ARE THEME OF SAN FRANCISCO
MERCHANTS DISCUSSION.

SAN FRANCISCO, September &c
The announcement of the compact of
the 10 steamship companies for the
purpose of transporting goods from the
Pacific coast via the Tehuantepec route
created a sensation in local business
circles yesterday, the merchants seeing
in it an effective opposition to the
dominance of the Southern Pacific and
the Pacific Mail steamship company.
The subject was the one important
theme of discussion. The Offices of the
American-Hawaiian steamship COM
pany were besieged by parties desiring
more information about the proposed
plan and throughout there was gen.
eral feeling of satisfaction at the new
order of affairs.
OLD ROUTE WORTHLESS. co.
The agreement which has existed be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the
Pacific Mail steamship company has
made the Panama route practically
worthless to San Francisco shippers.
Whichever way they turned, whether
to land or sea, they found themselves
| in the grip of Hartman. So bad were
/ the conditions that Joseph L. Bristow,
former postmaster, was appointed as
special commissioner to investigate the
! situation, and in his report scathingly
| denounced the Pacific Mail Steamship
company for it's apathy in regard to
! Ia, fra ,ff
drawing the only conclusion possible
that Hartman on sea had no intention
of allowing competition against Harrl-
man on land. There was even serious
discussion on the advisability of put
ting on the Pacific coast a government
line of steamships which would handle
the through business in connection
with the Panama railroad.
The Pacific Mail steamship, since
then, has not made any effort to cater
to the through business. During the
congestion in freight traffic last year
relief came to the Pacific coast from
the Tehuantepec National railway
company, owned largely by the Next
can government. The Pacific Mail
steamship company at that time, on ac-
count of its prohibitive rates, handled
so little that the cars on the Panama
railroad, owned by the United States
government, had to be hauled back to
the Atlantic coast empty.
NEW LINE STEPS IN.
One of the most noticeable points
about the new arrangement is that
while the Hartman owned steamship
> lines have been calling loudly for 6
government subsidy, the American-Ha
: waiian steamship company has stepped
: in and received as much business as i
: could handle, thereby proving that thu
business was here and that there wal
: ample opportunity for the Pacific Mai
steamship company to secure it.
. The subject, it is thought, will bt
brought up at the trans-Mississipp
congress to be held here in October
= The old threat that Hartman will re
ply to the opposition by making som
- other city his base of supplies on thi
;, coast, it is expected, will be Whispered
9 Under existing conditions, however
! there is a general sentiment that wha
&c the city gains from Hartman pun
chasing his supplies here will be les
than the saving made in rates and tim
by the appearance of a competitor.
