LAND
AT YUKON FAIR
ARRIVAL OF MAYFL0WER IS.
PICTURED AGAIN
NEW ENGLAND DAY AT SEATTLE
IS PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Men and Women In Costumes of the
Puritans Sail Across Lake
Washington to the
Exposition
[Ry Associated Press.1

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-THE good ship
Mayfiower, sailing over Lake WASH
ington, the smiling coast of the Alas
ka- Yukon-Pacific exposition, this
morning anchored and 102 pilgrims
landed in small boats on Plymouth
Rock, at the foot of the Pay Streak,
and were welcomed by 100 friendly In
dams.
Thus began New England day at the
worlds fair, most of the $4,000 New
Englanders resident in Seattle taking
part in the celebration as spectators
or actors.
The Mayfiower is an exact reproduc-
tion, with a main mast eighty-one feet
high. The people who landed from
her bore the names and costumes OF
the original pilgrims.
After q pow-wow with the Indians,
the manifest was signed, prayer was
said and the procession made its way
through the Pay Streak to the Puri-
tan Inn, where dinner was eaten.
In the afternoon exercises were held
in the exposition auditorium. A poem,
THE Landing of the Mayfower," writ
ten by Sam Walter Foss for this occa-
sion, was read.
Among the speakers were former
Governor Rollins of New Hampshire,
father of "Old Home Week." Col r.
C. Goodwell of New Hampshire, repre-
senting Governor Quinby, and former
Governor John H. McGraw of this
state, a native of Maine
A series of tableaux depicting scenes
in New England history were pre-
sented. At night there were special
fireworks, including a blazing picture
of the Mayfiower and a reception and
ball in the Washington state building.

HOTEL RAIDED BY
SQUAD OF POLICE
Woman Proprietor and Eight Girls
Taken Into Custody as Result
of Alleged DlsorderIy
Conduct

Acting under orders of Chief of Police
Dishman, Detectives Bowe and Brown
ing, at the head of squad of patrol
men, raided the house of Mrs. A. NAL
lory, known as the Hotel Courtland. at
S161s South Spring street, at IL o'clock
last night.
The landlady of the place. eight girls
and three visitors were arrested and
several cases of beer and liquors We're
confiscated.
The Hotel Courtland has long been
known, it is said by the police, as a
place of resort for women of the half
world, who were driven out of the red
light district at the time it was closed
up a year ago.
The police were aware of the shady
of the place, but for some
reason evidence of it's character which
would stand the test in court was not
to be had until recently.
For some days Officers Browning and
Bcwe have been working on the case,
and last night they Informed Chief
Dishman that they were prepared to
raid the place, and a squad of officers
were detailed to assist them.
When the police descended on the
place last night the women in the

who were arrested at what they called
a beer and Dutch supper party.
Taken Without Clothing
All of the prisoners were in various
states of undress and they were not
given time to don their clothing be-
fore being bundled into the patrol
wagon for the trip to the station.
The raid attracted an immense crowd
and more than thousand people
blocked the street in front of the place
and stopped all car traffic on the street
and required the services of ten police
men to clear a way for pedestrians.
When the prisoners were taken to
the station they were registered on
the blotter and charged as follows:
Mrs A. Mallory, violating the liquor
ordinance; Margaret Gray, Edith
Lansing, Belle Carey, Dorothy
Knowles, Mrs. George Gilbert, Grace
Shuman, Lula Love and Anna White,
vagrancy; j. G. Gilbert, C. w. Jones
and C. williams, visiting a house of
i'll repute.
The C. w. Jones in the case is the
name given by a prominent physician,
who stated that he had been called
to the house professionally.
The women were refused ball and
locked UP for the night and the men
were released on depositing $50 each
for their appearance in police court
tomorrow morning.

Figures Are Given of Cost of NeceSsarleS OF Lie

Expensive and Wages Smaller-SaiarieS
of Upper Officials Much Increased

,475 according to the estimates. In
1907 and 1908, while the cost of living
steadily increased the pay and the
average number of days employed re-
mained the same, but early in the pres
emf year the brieklayers were compelled
to accept a reduction of 81 day, and
still the cost Of living continued its up
ward climb.
In 1906 and 1907 the union plumbers,
receiving S5 for a day of eight hours,
worked an average of 2a0 days year.
In 19OS-09 the average rate of days O
wear was 1S5, and the plumbers, forced
like the brieklayers to accept a reduc-
tion, received but 81 for each of the 1856
DAYS worked. And the cost of living
had increased.
IN 1906 and 1907 the union plasterers
of this city received $3.50 for a day of
eight hours, and averaged 205 days in
the year for that period. For 10000
the rate of employment was 200 days a
yeer and the wage had been forced
down to So day.
And those are the fortunate crafts
in the labor union world, well organ
lied and determined in their resistance
to the forces which tend to the lower
ing of their standard of living. There
are other labor groups which, though
organized, are less fortunate, or more
unfortunate, according to the view
which one may take of the general sit

PAUL DE LONGPRE PLEADS
FOR STATE DIVISION AS
ONLY SAFETY FOR SOUTH

Paul de Longpre, the well known
Hollywood artist, whose valuation of
his beautiful home was made a basis
for values by the state board of equal
ization appraisers, in a letter to The
Herald yesterday makes a strong plea
for separation from the north and the
forming of new state in the south
land. He says:
From all Southern California is COM
ing a unanimous and indignant protest
against the outrageous holdup perpe-
trated on all this section by the state
board OF equalizers. State division has
arrived at the point where it is an abso-
lutte necessity.
There is South Carolina and North
Carolina.
South Dakota and North Dakota.
Virginia and West Virginia.
''Why not South California and North
California? Division will be an accom-
plished fact before long. Why not be-
gin now, all united and in earnest, and
when success is attained, what a pride
for all of us-what a great holiday

uation. Their unions are younger and
less powerful than those heretofore re-
ferred to.
No Change Made in Wages
There are the iron workers, struc-
tural and ornamental, who in their
hours of toll perform more trying and
exhausting labor than falls to the share
of their brothers in most of the other
trades, besides ineurring greater haz-
ard of life and limb from day to day
The wage has not changed from $3.50
a day since 1906, when the average
rate of employment in the year was no.
while in 190S-09 the average rate of
employment was but 112 days. The
cost of living climbed while the yearly
income of these toilers sank. They find
little comfort in the prosperity of the
prosperous.
That is the story for the union men.
For the unorganized it is somewhat diff
ferent. In some trades and employ
ments they have worked more steadily,
but not on the whole. In most cases
they have worked for a smaller wage,
with little or no increase, and longer
hours, while the prices of the means of
life rose steadily, threatening to pass
entirely beyond their reach.
Men and women working in stores,
offices, etc, on small salaries, have
been more steadily employed in general
than the wage workers, for whom there
is less and less use as machinery Is de-
veloped, yet the small salaried en-
| ployes feel more keenly the rise in the
cost of living than do the sons of toll.
| They have to dress prosperously ana

the other, which they have been wont
to consider necessaries of life, scars up

luxuries and then altogether beyond
their reach, as the cost of living climbs
and their pay stands practically still.

ADMITS CRIME FOR WHICH
ANOTHER WAS IMPRISONED

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Henry Green
berg, now serving sentence of twenty
years in Dannemora prison for bur
glary in this city, has made state
nent in which he confesses to having
committed the crime for which Louis
Goldberg is now serving a life sem
tence in Sing Sing.
Goldberg, who comes from a good
family, was convicted of burglary in
this city last February, and as it was
his second offense. the law required
that he be sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
Greenberg, in his statement to the
warden of Dannemora prison, declares
that Goldberg is innocent and that
he committed the crime of which Gold
berg was convicted.
Attorneys for the Goldberg family
are investigating and it is possible that
they will ask for new trial.

of the property owners to do away with
the old style arc lights at the intersec-
tions of the thoroughfare with other
streets, and in their stead install pillar
lights, such as are used on the main
streets of Los Angeles. 1t is the de-
sire to illuminate the streets from

manner, but whether it will be done is
a matter of cost.
