CHEAP SHOWS GET
NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Action on Prohibitory Ordinance
Is Postponed for AM
other Week

The ordinance prohibiting nickel
odeons and similar shows within $50
feet of any school or church, intro
duced by Supervisor Murdock at last
Mondays board meeting. was consid-
cred by the police committee yesterday,
but pending notification to the pro-
prietors of the places affected rec
ommendation was postponed till next
weeks session.
Father Caraher of the st. Francis
church. who has been leading the fight
to prevent the establishment Of NOV
ing picture show under the caves OF
the church, and who has clashed with
Police Commissioner Keil over the lat
ter's interest in the project, explained
to the committee the demoralizing ma
ture of many of the pictures exhibited
in the machines and the distraction to
the worship of the congregation caused
by the noise and the crowds. To Super
visor McLeran's objection on general
principles to granting the police COM
mission any more power, as would be
done by the terms of the bill, Father
Caraher replied that in this instance
the commission seemed determined to
do what was right and that the board
had his confidence
Chief Hewitt of the department of
electricity suggested an amendment to
the building law requiring certain pre-
cautions in the electric installations
necessary to run the shows purely
from a fire hazard standpoint. Super
visor McLeran opposed any grant of
additional power to the police COM
mission. He said the present ordinance
requiring shows to secure license had
been abused by the commission.
That body" said McLeran, seems
bent on using the power It gets into
its hands to annoy and harass those
with whom it deals"
Connolly supported Murdock's ordi-
nance, but 1t was agreed to put the
whole matter over one week
Rev. E. r. Ollie OF Central Methodist
church, Rev. Samuel C. Patterson of
the Bethany Congregational, Rev. DR..
Magee of the Fourth Congregational.
Rev. G. M. Warner. secretary of the
Church federation. and Secretary ]. B.
Travis OF the Baptist extension society
also spoke in favor of the bill. DR..
Ollie said Chicago not only prohibited
the near presence of the cheap shows,
but censored pictures Illustrating
crimes OF violence, suggestive pictures
and all of a demoralizing tendency.

TRAFFIC COMPACT
CAUSES SENSATION
New Steamship Freight Arr
rangements Are Theme of
Merchants Discussion

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 sensation in local business
circles yesterday. the merchants seeing
in an effective opposition TO the
dominance OF the Southern Pacific and
tie Pacific Mail steamship company.
The subject was the one important
them OF discussion. The Offices of the
American Hawaiian steamship company
were besieged by parties desiring more
Information about the proposed plan
and throughout there was a general
Feeling Of satisfaction at the new or
der Of affairs.
OLD ROUTE WORTHLESS
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
70 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 a
special commissioner TO investigate the
situation, and in his report scathingly
denounced the Pacifc Mail steanshin
company for its apathy in regard 10
The transportation of through business.
drawing the only conclusion possible
that Hartman on sea had no Intention
OF allowing competition against Harri-
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
10 tho through business. During the
congestion in freight traffic last year
relief came to the Pacific coast from
fhe Tehuantepec National railway
company, owned largely by the Mexi
can government The Pacific Mail
steamship company at that time on ac-
count Of its prohibitive rates, handled
50 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 a
government subsidy. the American-aa-
waiian steamship company has stepped
IN and received as much business as If
could handle. thereby proving that the
business was here and that there was
ample opportunity for the Pacific Mail
Gtes nlship company to secure ii.
