Resolution Adopted by Teutonic De-

Nations to Fight the Growing
Power of Germany
tBy Associated Press. ]


CINCINNATI, Oct. 5.-The so-called
union of Defense" between the United
States and Great Britain to offset the
growing naval power of Germany, as
advocated by Lords Northcliffe, Beres-
ford and Close of England, is declared
to be absurd in resolution offered to-
day in the German American alliance
national convention, by DR.. Ernst
Richards, professor of German in Co
lumbia university, New York city.
Former Congressman Charles B.
Lands of Indiana, representing tha
Navy league, spoke on 1.-THE Merchant
Marine and Its Influence for Univer-
sal Peace"
THE American merchant marine as
constituted is a fiction" declared Mr..
Landis. I'VE will have spent $780,
100000 in the construction of the Pan
ANA canal by the time that work is
completed, and when 1t is finished we
will not have a single ship flying tho
American flag engaged in over-the-seas
commerce to pass through the canal
"Those Americans who are informed
consider our navy a bluff; other ma
tions do not regard it seriously. They
know that, without virtually anything
in the shape of an adequate merchant
marine as auxiliary in time of war,
it's effectiveness is reduced to a min
imum"

RATE WAR GOES
MERRILY AHEAD
THIRTY-DAY ROUND TRIP RATE
OF $11 ANNOUNCED
NO ANSWER is MADE AS YET BY
PACIFIC COAST COMPANY
Rumor Afoat That Southern Pacific
Will Take Hand in Battle to
Aid Its Steamship
Lines

The steamship rate war goes mer-
rily on.
Announcement was made yesterday
afternoon by the North Pacific Steam
snip company of round-trip rare
from Los Angeles ports to San Fran
cisco, good for thirty days, of $11.
This announcement has not been
met with any counter move of the
Paclnc Coast Steamship company,
From statements made at headquar-
ters of the Pacific Coast company's
office no round-trip rate will be put
into enect by that company.
Rumor had it yesterday that the
Southern Pacific. which controls the
Pacific Coast Steamship company
would put into effect a round-trip
rate by rail, good for thirty days, of
$I5. rms, however seems almost out
Of the question, as the recently en-
acted railroad law, which went into
effect July l, makes it impossible for
any railroad to change any rate eX-
cept upon thirty days written notice
to the state railroad commission. The
Southern Pacific has just announced
a special round-trip rate to San Fran
cisco of $3.50, incident to the Portola
festival to be held there October 10
to 70. The selling oates of this ticket
Will be from October 10 to 10, and
tickets VIII be good Tor ten Gays only.
There may be some foundation in the
rumor that the Southern Pacific will
meet the cut in rates between here
and san francisco, although no con-
nlmatlon of the rumor could be OBJ
tanned from local Southern Pacific Of
nciaIs or from headquarters in the
northern city.
---cttcally every berth is taken on
all the boats of the two warning
steamship companies for the next
week. No bookings are being received
for more than a week ahead, how
ever. This may portend the end of
the nght and the restoration or the Odd
rates.
The rates as they stand now are:
Round trip, thirty-day tickets to
san francisco, via the North Pacific
company's three ships, Sa1.
One way fare on the same COM
panys ships, $5 from San Pedro, or
$5.35 from Los Angeles.
One way tickets via the Pacific Coast
steamship companys ships, 1885 from
Los Angeles.
w. Shuback of Shuback & Hamilton,
who operate the North Pacific com
pany boats, arrived in Los Angeles
last night to take personal charge of
the local end of the steamship war.

4 SULPHUR SPRINGS
LEHNHAUSEN MADE
CAPTAIN OF POLICE
Lieutenant Succeeds Broadhead, Re-
Gently Deposed-H. r. w. kriege
Made Lieutenant and Hart
meyer Sergeant

The dismissal of Capt. Thomas H.
Broadhead from the police force was
of direct benefit to three members of
the police force when they were ad
vanced notch by the police commits
sion at it's session last night.
Charles G. Lehnhausen was advanced
from lieutenant to take the place of
Captain Broadhead, Herman r. w.
Kriege was advanced from sergeant
to lieutenant, and A. w. Hartmeyer
lifted from the ranks to the position
of sergeant.
These promotions are said to have
caused serious pain to some of the
high officials of the police department,
as each of the three men advanced are
in warm sympathy with the present
administration and the enforcement of
law for which it stands. Their promo
tion is also something in the nature of
poetic justice as they were not warmly
treated when Broadhead was at the
head of the department.

PRESIDENT TAFT MAKES
HURRIED TRIP THROUGH
OAKLAND AND BERKELEY

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 5.-President

Alameda county today. He made two
short addresses, the first in the Greek
theater at tie University of California,
Berkeley, and the second on the shore
Of Lake Merritt in this city.
The people of both cities made most
of the brief time allotted to them.
The president rode in a street car.
an automobile and a carriage during
the trip from Berkeley to Oakland,
and finally boarded tie revenue cutter
Golden Gate for the trip across the
bay to San Francisco, eating luncheon
as the government vessel steamed to-
ward the transport dock on the penin-
sula side.
The only unusual incident Of the
forenoon occurred just after Mr.. Taft
had been introduced to the huge crowd
at Lake Merritt A grand stand had
been erected for the occasion, and to
the right of the stand stood several
large willow trees, which had been
seized by a hundreds boys as points of
vantage.
AS the president arose to speak a
large branch broke, preciptating a
number of the boys to the ground. The
youngsters fell upon the densely
packed crowd, and fearing that some
one had been injured, the president
paused.
"Is anyone hurt?" he shouted.
Makes Facetious Remark
When quiet was restored Mr. Taft
remarked the Lord always took care
of drunken men, boys and the United
States"
In his brief address, Mr.. Taft urged
the consolidation of Oakland, Berkeley
and Alameda, and concluded with a
reiteration of his policy regarding river
and harbor improvements.
The presidents party was escorted
by the Berkeley committee to Alca-
traz street and College avenue, on the
line between Berkeley and Oakland,
where Mr.. Taft was received by a
deputation from this city.
The trip to the Key Route Inn was
made by trolley the Oakland reception
committee meeting the party there.
After a brief welcome a procession
was formed, the president entered a
carriage with Governor Gillett and
Mayor Mott. and by circuitous route
the cavalcade proceeded to the shores
of, Lake Merritt in the heart of the
residence section of the city.
A large grand stand had been erected
for the occasion and several thousand
citizens were waiting to greet Mr..
Taft.
The chief executive then was intro
duCed by Mayor Mott and was about
to make a short address when there
was a loud crash to the right.

The water front and Market street
were jammed with people as the pro-

kept busy bowling his answer to the
cheers.
The carriages traversed the principal
thoroughfares of the city, winding in
and out about the solid blocks that

terest in the appearance of the city.
