REPORT CALIFORNIA TRIP
FULL OF PROFIT AND FUN
Delegates to National Life Under
writer's Convention Take Back
Pleasing Accounts of State
Reception

Copies of the Life Association News
containing the official accounts of the
Los Angeles trip and the national con-
yention of the life underwriters have
been received here, and they are filled
with optimistic illusions on the value
of the trip to the Pacific coast con-
vention. The sentiment seems to be
unanimous for San Francisco in 1912.
l.. Walter Sammis, editor of Life
Association News, styles the Los An
geles convention 1.-THE most successful
gathering of the National Association
of Life Underwriters that was ever
held" A very complete stenographtc
report of each days proceedings is
given.
Under the caption, wilmington a
Worker" Life Association News has
the following to say of the Los An
geles representative among the ma
tiona1 officers:
"John w. Wilmington, first vice
president, is a newcomer in National
association work. The great and glo-
rious west, with the habit that 1t has,
would not be denied-nor would a sin
gle soul deny it. Mr.. Wilmington pro-
posed to do the same work in the west
that the president has always done III
the east, and the west, with the free
hand that is characteristic of it, pro-
poses to furnish the sinews of war.
While all are happy to welcome Mr..
Whittington into our ranks of active
workers, 1t is a common belief that
before the Louisville convention they
will be happier that he came"

HEWITT ANTICIPATES
FAVORABLE DECISION
Home Telephone Company Suit Is
Unique as Involving Right of Mu-
nIcipality to Fix Rates of
Public Utilities

City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt was
in his office yesterday after about q
month in washington, where he argued
his first case before the United States
supreme court. The case was that of
the Home Telephone company, in which
the company contests the right of the
city to fix rates for public utilities.
While Mr.. Hewitt does not expect a
decision for about two months, he Is
confident the city will win its case.
Oscar A. Trippet was counsel for the
telephone company.
II never was more impressed with
the dignity and majesty of the law
than I was when appeared before the
supreme court of the United States,
said Mr.. Hewitt yesterday. THE su-
preme Judges impress one as being the
embodiment OF law, and you feel In
stinctiVely that they are no respecters
of persons; that with them 1T is meas
ures, not men.
I'VE found the courts clogged with a
mass OF rate legislation, but our case
seemed to be the only one involving
the rights OF a municipality to fix the
rates of public utilities. For this rea-
son the Judges pave n"r arguments
very fiattering attention, and seemed
thoroughly interested in every feature
of the case. In the cases that had pre-
ceded ours the judges had a rather
somnolent appearance, although the
frequency and nature of the questions
they asked showed rney were fully
aware of what was transpiring, but
when our case came before them they
threw off this reserve and we were
peppered with questions that brought
out every phase of the proposition.
1.-THE real question involved in this
case is whether or no the city has bar
gained away its right under the char
ter to fix rates by reason of naming q
maximum rate in franchises. L am con-
the city"

PROSPERITY PARADE
DETAILS COMPLETE
PROCESSION WILL FORM IN
TWELVE DIVISIONS
Prize Advertisement Contest viii
Close contest-Rishop & Co. Have
Slight Lead Over other
Competitors

With an exhibition of homemade
art in Blanchard hall, to continue all
the week, and the presentation of a
homemade play at one of the theaters
every afternoon and evening during the
week, the Prosperity Week" promoters
of the chamber of commerce thought
they were allowing a pretty wide range.
They were, however, totally unpre-
pared for the manufacturer of cele-
brated corn cure, made right here at
home, who wanted to exhibit a wagon
load of his home product in the great
Industrial parade.
The details of the arrangement of
the parade were completed yesterday,
and a difficult task it was. The parade
will be formed in twelve divisions, and
at the head of each will be a division
marshal and three aids. Each division
will be preceded by a band. The first
will be composed entirely of auto We
hicles, and 1t is safe to say that about
every kind, make and description OF
automobile will be seen therein. In
advance will be the platoon of mounted
police, to clear the way, and following
that will come a division composed of
six six-horse teams, hauling immense
wagons, on which displays of Southern
California products will be piled high.
There also will be expositions of the
actual work of manufacture of certain
California products, both In this di-
vision and in the others that will fol-
low.
Yesterday President George H. Stew
art of the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce and Miss Frances Holmes,
the originator of the plan of having
Prosperity Week" in Southern Cali
fornia, addressed 1000 students of the
Polytechnic high school in the audi
torium of the school, and aroused the
greatest enthusiasm. Many times they
cheered vociferously as President Stew
art eloquently told of the resources
and possibilities of Southern California,
and of the magnitude of the manufac-
turing industries already established.
Underlying Principles
President Stewart devoted a great
part of his address to the thought
which underlies prosperity Week" ="
the idea of helping others in order to
help yourself in the end. He declared
it the duty that each resident of South
ern California owed to him or herself
to trade as much as possible with those
merchants who deal in homemade
products.
Miss Holmes told the students how
she got the idea of a Prosperity
Week. for Southern California. and
how it had been developed and worked
out by Secretary Virgins and his corps
of lieutenants. Her talk was received
with cheers.
Today President Stewart and Miss
Holmes will address the high school
students.
Many votes in the Prosperity Week"
prize advertisement contest are COM
ing in to Secretary Virgins of the
~ % A
terday of the votes already received
shows that the advertisement of Bishop
& Co. is in the lead, but its lead over
Silverwood's is very slight. Third on
the list is that of the Southern Cali
fornia Wine company, and there are
many others trailing along.
The contest will be open until Thurs
day night, and the prize winners will
be announced Friday next.

War Threatens China And Japan

London March 6-It is the fixed belief of the war ot- flee that another Japanese is inevitable Japan is assembling her war vessels and building with intent to engage China and not the United States This eccept ed by the officials who are closest to the heart of things in the orient,
 China has been making ready to meet what she long ago saw was ahead of her, training and equppng great army.
 The cause of the war; as here, is the old cause from different Japan has deter mined to make Manchura her owp China will resist and has already called the situation to the attention of the powers and especially to that of the United States
 At the time of the boxer uprising John Hay then sec- rary of state wrote note to the powers declaring for the ngv of China and the open door in Manchuria and to this the powers assned though no treaty was signed up However Japan one of the powers assentng is now planning the occupation of Manchura And it is Of this China complains That she preparing to resist the occu patton with arms said to be certain while 1t is equally certain that Japan is preparing to meet her-and not to retreat
 It has always been assumed here that there was more than mere practice intended in the transfer ot the Ame- can fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific and it is now believed that it was the knowledge of the impending dn ~ and the intention of the United States to require the fufment of the pledge given to secretary Hay that n dnced the great vryage-tha the fleet might be in position h exercise an influence for peaceful assent to the de- rands of China which are the demands of the world.
 The war office however is convinced that a conflict betweet China and Japan is inevitable.
