NEW ORLEANS WINS
SHRINERS' SESSION
Mobiles at Meeting in Louisville Decide
on Creation of Temples at
Seattle and Ashland,
Oregon

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 1O.-Busi-
ness was word of yesterday with the
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, holding
the thirty-ffth annual session in Louis
vile, when they awakened today. The
work of the imperial council has all
been done, and today was devoted en-
tirely to attending to what Louisville
offers finally in the way OF entertain
ment.
This began this morning with tour
of the large manufactures of the city,
all of which kept 'open house" This
afternoon there was an open air drama,
1.-THE Attack on Fort Boonesboro."
One thousand persons tok part and
the attack by Indians and the massacre
of the garrison in the Kentucky pioneer
fort, the first settlement of white men
west of the mountains, was shown In
mimicry.
Tonight ball was given to the
Shriners and their ladies in the armory.
This was decorated to represent an
oasis in the Sahara. New Orleans has
been chosen for the session next year.
Among the temples created were Sc
attic, Wash, and Ashland, Ore.

GAS COMPANY MUST
FACE GRAVE CHARGES

and in case tenant moved to notify
their offices.
For Cooking after small houses 50
had at times been paid, but in the case
of large apartments as high as $l0O nad
been given. When it was found tnat
this pay" was only given along the
lines of the Peoples company no excuse
was Forthcoming as to why 1t was not
practical all over Los Angeles.
The result of the investigation re-
vealed the fact that all patrons of the
Los Angeles Gas company were not
getting this benefit, and that 1t was
unfair to the other gas companies 1t
also developed that most OF the COM
plants were filed because the Los An
geles gas was much poorer than the
gas given by the Peoples company.
The main lines of the Peoples COM
pany are along Hill, Flower Grand ave-
nue., Hope and Bunker Hill street sec
tions, and it is from this district that
about fifty witnesses Will be called.
The investigation brought out the al
legation that the Los Angeles company
has for number of years endeavored
to drive the Peoples company out of
business by using influence on the coun-
ell and board of supervisors to pass or
dinances, handicapping the Lowe COM
pany, These cases have resulted in
bitter legislation.
Another complaint was also made to
the prosecuting attorneys office that
users of the Domestic companys gas
wishing to change and install Los An
geles gas meters were refused. The
Domestic company refused to take out
their meters and the Los Angeles COM
pany refused to install theirs until the
others were taken out. From the in
formation in the hands of the prose-
cutting attorney it is said that what
looks like a coalition between these two
companies may exist.

1t is generally not good business
principles for one merchant to adver-
tise pianos which another dealer sells.
We have, however, about fifty (50) of
the "other fellows" pianos on hand
and as we are in the piano business
we naturally must dispose of them.
These pianos are of all makes and
sizes and great many of them have
had but little use.
The reason we are in possession of
them is because of the demand by the
public for the wonderful AUTO-PIANO
the best player piano in the world.
The public is becoming educated to the
fact that the best in music can be OBJ
tanned by owning an AUTO-PIANO
which can be played with a perforated
music roll which will play any piece
of music ever written. These AUTO
PIANOS have been perfected until now
every key on the piano is played and
anyone without any technical knowl-
edge of music can produce good music
with very little studying.
We have taken about fifty of the
best instruments which we have traded
for during the past two months and
placed them in one room and they will
be sold at once at the uniform price of
1928. Simply come in and take your
choice; to those who come at once we
will allow a cash premium amounting
to a whole years rental. This will
make the actual amount. which may
be paid in small payments, less than
$780, Among the pianos in this room
are such makes as Kranich & Bach,
Emerson, Hazelton Bros, Decker Bros,
Chickering and a great many others
just as good or better. The only thing
necessary for you to do is to come in
and inspect our bargains, but you must
come early or they will be gone. Every
one knows our location, 231 So. Broad
way, opposite the City Hall, and dur
ing the month of June we will be open

Officials Surprised

No official of the company who was
willing to discuss the affair could be
found last night. William M. van
Dyke, first vice president, and Charles
A. Luckenbach, one of the administra-
tive officers, were questioned. Lucken-
bach said he knew absolutely nothing
about the charges or the investigation
Van DYKE. when apprised of the ma
ture of the disclosures made, declared
the first he knew of it was what was
contained in the inquiries.
IT don't know anything about re-
bates" he said. "If any rebates were
made 1t was without the knowledge or
consent of the officials of the company.
I think that when the matter is sifted
down it will be shown that there is
nothing in the charge"
Judge William A. Cheney, counsel for
the company, is out of the city. The
other officials could not be located.

Two Amusing Incidents of Note.

President Taft's recent and memora-
BILE trip down the Mississippi river from
St. Louis, was not without its sidelights
and incidents. Here are two from a
newspaper mans diary:
The barber shops and the bar on the
St. Paul-both free to the guests-were
in the same little cubby hole. One of
the governors from a prohibition State
was very frequent visitor to the cubby
hole. A governor fIom wet State met
the governor from the dry State emerg-
ing from this rather popular place.
"Why, Governor" remarked the
chief executive of the wet state, 81 am
surprised to see you in here. I thought
you were teetotaler."
81 am," responded the dry State Gov
ernor, "Just went in to get shaved"
ooh, understand, Governor" ans
weed the other, "but it seems to me,
unless my eyes deceive me, that this is
thd sixth time you have been shaved to-
day."
Governor Gilchrist, of Florida, has
discovered a new definition which he
will endeavor to have placed in all of the
standard dictionaries. Here it is:
GOVERNOR-A A small potato.
CAT Cape Girardeau got off the St.
Paul expecting to accompany President
Taft to the State Normal School," he
said.

TELEPHONE COMPETITION.

Des Moines, Iowa.-The injunction
asked for by the minority stockholders
of the Mutual Telephone Company to
restrain the consolidation OF the two
systems in operation at the present
time, was denied by Judge McHenry OF
the district court. The Court says in
part:-Competition has always been
considered one OF the elements which
insures low prices, fair treatment and
equal rights to the public. But in the
case of telephones it certainly is evi-
dent that the service to the public would
be broader and more valuable If all the
telephones in the city of Des Moines
could be reached through one system or
through one central Office instead of
being divided about equally between two
separate and distinct systems which
have no connection with each
other. This case presents an anomaly
in the fact that this is a case in which
the combination of the two telephone
systems into one which would, of course,
eliminate competition, would und~''
edly be a betterm"-' ~oao'
in 81. ...ns of public service,
.uat it would give more universal
telephone connection than the present
system. The reason then that existed
in the early cases for holding combina-
ton in restraint of trade to be void as
against public policy, does not exist in
this case, but exactly the reverse exists,
which is to say that it would be in the
furtherance of public policy or the pub
lie welfare if all of the telephones now
divided into the two systems were united
into one.-DEs MONIES CAPITAL, Octo-
ber 20, 1909.
