Designed to Prevent Restraint of
Trade, Forcing Prices, Rebating
or Controlling Local COM
modities

Los Angeles will follow the lead of
Portland in looking into local trusts if
the city council is prepared to adopt an
ordinance which City Attorney Leslie
II. Hewitt has beel asked to prepare.
In Portland the ordinance was used
in prosecuting the local furniture trust,
but its provisions are sweeping.
Several councilmen have told the city
sttorney that they are kindly disposed
toward such an ordinance.
"If the Cartwright law does not inter-
fere with an antitrust ordinance SINH
lar to Portland's l will frame such an
ordinance for presentation to the city
council" said Mr.. Hewitt yesterday.
whether we have the power will de-
rend largely on the Cartwright law
and I will make a thorough eXami-
nation.
my idea is that we have the police
POWER of the state invested in the city
The city has wide latitude in Cali
fornia, the only restriction being where
the state has legslated on similar ques-
tons.
1T is, as l say, a question whether
the Cartwright law will take the power
from the city, and that l will know
later"
The Portland measure makes it un-
lawful for any firm, corporation or as
sociation of persons to form trust or
combination in restraint of trade, and
applies to selling, transporting, using,
controlling any article, fixing standards
of prices, refund or rebating, the penal
ties being from $50 to $500, with i'm
rrisonment of six months, each day to
constitute separate offense.

The Time of the Empire

Women who love beautiful gowns
and, honest Injun, 1 believe that class
includes every daughter of Eve
will be interested in the cos
tuning of Mary Mannering, the
beautiful" who will reproduce next
week for the delight of Los Angeles
theater-goerS the caprice and beauty
of that lovely Betsy Patterson who
won the heart of the Emperor Napo-
Icons brother Joseph.
The Mannering gowns are said to be
creations of lace, silk and brocade, but
to the uninitiated her frocks appear to
be constructed of that stuff of which
dreams are made. Betsy claims that
one responds to the dignity of some
gowns and to the impertinence of 9TH
ers, and that she can feel all the
sauciness of Betsy Patterson creep over
her as she dons her frocks.
One can readily imagine, then, as she
sees Betsy trip on in the first act, how
the frock is a part of the woman. for
1t quivers and scintillates with every
change of mood of the wearer. The
first gown is of soft, clinging silk, out
lining the graceful figure in strong re-
lief Its color is blend of the blue
of the sky and green of the sea-like
a cobweb with the sun shining through
it. 1t is empire style, with surplice
corsage, filled in with a bit of lace.
The sleeves are only big puff at the
shoulders, and the skirt reaches to the
ankles. A big poke bonnet, with bob
bing ostrich tips and long silk stream
ers, rests for a time on the top of the
pretty curly head, then anon droops to
the neck. Betsy Patterson makes her
entrance bare-footed-no little shoes,
no stockings; these are carried by at
tendant cavaliers. AS the act proceeds
the footwear is adjusted. The second
dress of this act is a satin one of deli
cate violet tint, with foot border of
gold applique in fancy design. The
poke bonnet is adorned with silk and
ribbon, and an aigrette to make a bird
of paradise die with envy. A green
gauzy veil is strung across the top. but
is afterward removed to be bestowed
as a souvenir upon one of ner ardent
gallants. The green scarf of the first
costume. scarf that is like bit of
sea foam, and which has a border Of
hydrangeas in colors, had been flung
upon a nearby bench. This is again
taken up and thrown around the shoul-
ders. Tiny parasols are used with
both gowns; with the first a green one,
with the second violet.
The dress in the second act is one of
shimmering white satin with silver
and pearl garniture. A silver and pearl

81 am here to protest against our be-
ing denied the right of free speech on
the public streets of Los Angeles" cried
Mrs, Hazel Hubbard, who, baby in
arms, attempted to address a crowd or
several hundred persons assembled on
Winston street near Main shortly De-
fCre o'clock last night.
Mrs. Hubbard had scarcely completed
the sentence when she was told by the
officers she WIS under arrest.
The woman was greeted with great
applause upon mounting the small box
" hich had been placed in the street for
the speakers. AS soon as the officers
approached the stand the cheers of the
multitude was deafening.
Forrest Hubbard was the first speak
er. He started his speech at 1880
oclock He spoke fully twenty min
utes before the police appeared on the
scene. He was arrested amid the cheers
oe the throng. AS soon as he stepped
from the stand his place was taken by
lis wife, who had scarcely time to speak
a sentence before she, too, was arrested.
At the sight of the child in Mrs.
Hubbard's arms the crowd could not
contain itself, but broken into loud
ard prolonged applause. 1t was sew
eral seconds before it quieted down so

Invites Crowd to Meeting
After the arrests had been made, A.
F. Lindwall mounted the box and asked
the audience to assemble in Mercantile
place.
The prisoners were placed aboard a..
car and taken to First and Main
streets, from where the party walked
TO the central police station.
The arrests We're made by Patrolmen
Cilpin and Weiss, acting under the or
ders of Sergeants Adams and Heath.
The little tot who was in it's mothers
arms when she was arrested was placed
on the counter at the desk sergeant s
window The Child smiled at the big
POLICEMAN and seemed to enjoy the
situation immensely.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard were released
on bail and told to appear in Police
Justice Austin's court at 8 o'clock this
morning.
The people began to arrive at Win
sion and Main streets about O'Clock,
and by 1880 there were between $50 and
40C persons present.
In the assemblage were many hand
somely gowned women. The gathering
was orderly and listened intently to the
speakers, applauding frequently when
reference was made TO the ordnance
which prohibited that right which the
constitution of the United States gave
them.
Will Speak Again
The location NJ the next speaking will
be at First and Broadway.
1--WE selected that location for the
purpose of aiding the police in arrest

ton, and will facilitate the conveying
of our speakers to the jail"
Saturday night the committee has ar
ranged for six speakers to make ad-
dresses at First and Broadway.
From the number of persons who
crowded the courtroom in police court
yesterday morning it is evident the
Socialists and their sympathizers in Los
Angeles are evincinG a lively interest

CHAMBER OF COMERcE MAKES
BIG HIT
WAITING LIST ENOUGH FOR AN
ENCORE
Lack of Extra Diners Prevents Adding
More PuIlmans to Special on
the Southern Pacific
Railroad

In all 157 people gathered at the
Arcade depot last evening to attend the
chamber of commerce Imperial eXcur-
sion. The excursion was scheduled to
leave at $3.50 o'clock and return to Los
Angeles Sunday morning "at breakfast
time
Although the train did not leave until
that late hour vet large number of
the excursionists gathered at the depot
an hour earlier to arrange about berths.
I'VE have four and a half Pullman's S
already arranged for" said one of the
chamber of commerce officials who went
on the trip. THAT is, those who had
friends on the train were permitted to
pair off and go in the same section
together.
But one Pullman and half re-
mains, and those going on these cars
will have to draw from the hat for their
upper or lower berths. Fat men al
ways want the lower berths, but we
have to be sure to give each one fair
chance. Many will occupy the lower
berth together and leave the upper
berth up as it will be cooler that way,
and some pretty warm weather is an
ticipated in Imperial. Doubtless those
who do that will be little fellows, moth
ing like Taft in build"
Excursion of 157 Travellers
One HuluTeu anu Ill y-IOuI VI lllS
chamber of commerce attended the eX-
cursion, the other three being railroad
officials of the Southern Pacific. Some
on the waiting list" came to the depot
last night, hoping that a few of the
excursionists would back out at the
last minute, then they would be able
to take their places. The waiting list,
including all who desire to go on
second excursion when such trip is
a11n11pb already tn fill two
more cars.
I'VE could not put any more Pull
mans on the train" they said at the
chamber of commerce yesterday, for
we could take but two diners, and there
would not be enough food to go around
if two more carfuls of passengers were
added to the train"
Everybody seemed to be full of the
happiest anticipation of the result of Il
visit to Imperial. And, as Secretary
Frank Virgins, just elected to that
position of the chamber of commerce
for the eleventh time, said:
1--WE intend to give the glad hand to
Imperial on behalf of Los Angeles mer-
chants, and want better trade relations
to exist between the two communities
The committee in charge of the ex-
cursion is composed of Willis Booth,
John E. Coffin, f. P. Bosbyshell, Lee A
Mcconnell and Frank Virgins.
Meets Excursionists
The reception committee at the Ar
cade depot who met the passengers pro-
vided with tickets last night was COM
posed of James Slauson, chairman;
Percy H. Clark, Charles w. Fleming.
L. Kimble, w. M. Hamaker, j. e. KayS
and e. j. Brownstein.
1t was the duty of this committee to
arrange the distribution of tickets and
allotment of berths, which required no
little manipulation.
The other committee received the
party from the hands of Mr.. Slauson's S
deputies" and will see the excursion
lists through the entire trip while they
visit Imperial, Brawley, Ell Centre,
CaleXico and Holtville.

MOTHER DROPS DEAD WHILE
READING LETTER FROM SON

The many friends of Rev. Daniel
Daley, one of the assistant priests at
st. Vibiana's cathedral, have been sad
dened to learn of the sudden death of
his mother Mrs, Ellen Daley, at Dover,
n. H. Father Daley left Tuesday to
attend the funeral of his mother.
Although Mrs. Daley had been in
poor health for some time, her death
came as sudden shock to her son, who
is the only surviving member of the
family.
She had just received a letter from
her son, which she had read, when she
dropped dead, death being caused by
heart failure.
Father Daley was for some time cur
ate at the Church of the Sacred Heart,
and has for some months been con-
nected with the cathedral.

Of police commissioners, through their
attorneys filed demurrers to the COM

dinance which prohibits speaking ON
the public streets of Los Angeles with

Argue on Demurrers
Arguments on the demurrers will be
heard Tuesday in Police Justice Aus
tins court. The demurrers in the cases
of those first arrested for a similar vio-
lation will be argued in Police Justice
Roses court tomorrow morning.
Attorneys for the Socialists are of the

complaints dismissed will be success
ful.
Representatives of the prosecuting
attorneys office are looking up de-
cisions in similar cases in other cities.
If the present city ordinance is declared
