Union Pacific leadership was

DEMURRAGE ON CARS
WILL NOT BE RAISED
LAW IS ENACTED TO BE USED
IN EMERGENCY
Traffic Manager for Los Angeles AS
ISOLATED Jobbers Says Act Is
Intended to Prevent
Car Famine

F. P. Gregson, traffic manager of the
Los Angeles Associated Jobbers, has
returned from San Francisco, where he
attended a meeting of representative
business men from Portland, Seattle,
Tacoma and California cities called TO
consider the question of distributive
rates.
The purpose of the meeting was to
call to the attention of the interstate
commerce commission the discrimina-
| tory nature of rates to be promulgated
under the ruling in the Spokane case.
The Pacific coast cities will contend
| that the distributive rate is prejudictal
to their commercial interests, giving St.
Paul, Chicago and other inland cities
an advantage over them.
Mr.. Gregson corrected the popular
idea that demurrage, amounting to 81
day, would be charged jobbers and
shippers for failing to load or unload
| cars. The demurrage act OF the leg1s-
| lature, he stated, is intended to prevent
a car famine, and it is only in an
emergency that the demurrage as
authorized by law will be charged. Or
dinarily the demurrage will be 81 day,
as heretofore
The privilege of charging the maxi
mum rate is intended to expedite traffic
and facilitate the movement of cars SO
there will not be congestion of traffic.
Mr.. Gregson does not look for an ad-
vance in demurrage but for better
movement of freight, which will be to
the advantage of the shipper.

JAPANESE CRUISERS
FORMERLY RUSSIAN
WARSHIPS AS0 AND S0YA TO
BE AT A. Y. P. FAIR
Vessels of Asiatc Navy Were CAPS
tured During War and Sunk, At
terward Being SalVed by
Their Victors

During the Alaska Yukon-Pacif1c ex-
position in Seattle the Japanese gov
eminent will be represented by the two
cruisers of the imperial navy, the Soya
and Also. These vessels will be present
at the opening on the first day Of June.
Both vessels possess peculiar interest
as they were at one time under the flag
of Russia, and it was against their
sides the first shots in the Russo
Japan war were directed.
At the opening of the late war the
Russian cruisers Koreetz and Varyag
were in the harbor of Chemulpoo. War
between the two nations had been I'M
minent for some time, but so far as was
known no formal declaration had been
made A formidable Japanese fleet ap-
peared one morning and a demand for
the immediate surrender of the ships
was Asked, this request was denied by
the Russian commander, and In the
face of superior strength the two cruis-
ers sailed out of the 'harbor of Che
mulpo and engaged in the first battle
of the war
The fight was one marked by un-
usual bravery on the part of the Rus
sian commander but there could only
be one result. In less than an hour
from the time of steaming out to battle
both ships staggered back, their decks
strewn with dead and seriously
wounded above and below the water
line. A short time after coming to
anchorage both ships sank.
The Koreetz and Varyag were after
ward salved by the successful nation,
and under the names of Soya and Aso
now form part of the navy of Japan.

CHILDREN EXHIBIT
THEIR HANDICRAFT
SENT0US SCHOOL HOLDS ITS
ANNUAL DISPLAY
Building Thronged with Parents and
Friends to Witness Progress Made
by Pupils In Practical
Things

Sentous school was thronged yester-
day afternoon with parents and friends
of the public to witness the annual
exhibition of the work done by the
children who attend that school.
The rooms from the kindergarten to
the eighth grade were decorated in an
artistic manner and from the walls of
the kindergarten branch depended the
smiling faces of paper Chinese, and on
tables were created block houses which
the boys had built "in a day." In
some of the rooms hammocks, the
work of the children of the first and
second grades, were swung and in these
comfortable reclining vehicles was
placed many a Teddy bear and treas
ured dolly. By the older pupils were
displayed cardboard sloyd models in
finished letter cases, portfolios and
book covers.
Maps and drawings on walls gave
evidence that while the children sing
II love thy rocks and rills," they have
a fairly accurate idea of the geography
and topography of those same rocks
and rills, as we'll as many foreign
places.
There were also numerous original
designs in book covers and posters and
many remarkably well written speci-
mems of fancy penmanship, the work
of the grammar grades.
IN the large nan, which mad been
festooned and decorated by the older
pupils, were displayed cookery, sewing
and sloyd models. On large table in
the center of the room stood rows of
edibles, and while one felt tempted to
partake of these, sign forbade their
being touched by the hands of the spec
tators. All kinds of pastry, preserves,
confectionery, salads, entrees and
roasted meats were shown, testifying
to the thorough instruction the little
housewives have received.
Among the sewing work displayed
were some really excellent specimens Of
needlework, showing to good advantage
what the children can do.
In the wood-sloyd work were in
cluded mission tables, hatracks, ink
stands, picture frames, glove boxes,
handkerchief cases. clock stands and
bookcases. All appeared to be care
fully and skilfully made. and many
were even artistic in finish and de-
sign
