EFFORTS TO LOCATE FRYs
IN SANTA BARBARA FUTILE

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 19.-All eff
forts to locate the Frys tonight were
fruitless. They were seen in the city
late in the afternoon, and are known
to have conyersed with friends at the
Potter about the death of Lucille Clerk,
but at 8 o'clock when an attempt was
made to get in telephone communica-
tion with them, no one responded. A
call was then made at their residence
in the upper part Of the city, but only
dark windows and bolted doors were
found.

October with Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
Fry of London. Fry is a wealthy CO.

called the Cocoa King" Last Thurs
day she informed friends here that she
was to leave the following day with
the Frys for California. These friends
were surprised to learn later that Miss
Clerk lay sick at the Grenoble hotel,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Fry, who had been
staying at the Empire hotel, had left
for California.
The Frys departed Wednesday morn

FLEMING SAYS u. S.
SHIP LINE LIKELY
Secretary of Commission Sees Great
Benefit to California in Federal
Steamer Service Along
Pacific Coast

A. p. Fleming, secretary of the Los
Angeles harbor commission, returned
last night from Washington, where ne
went little over two weeks ago TO
advance the interests of Los Angeles
as a seaport. Mr.. Fleming's chief mis-
sion to the national capital was to fur-
ther the bill for government owned
line of steamers on the Paclhc coast,
and last night he declared ms pellei
that such a line will be established.
"Senator Flint's bill for an appro-
nriation to purchase steamers to ply on
the Pacific coast was most cordially
receivedsxand large number or SEN
ators gathered at it's hearing" said Mr..
Fleming. Facts of vital importance
to its passage were brought out ana
everything points to favorable result.
"For instance, it was pointed out that
even now citrus fruits could beishipped
from here to Panama, thence to the
Atlantic on the railroad and forwarded
10 points along the Atlantic for a rate
of about SIS a ton. At present the
transcontinental railroad rate Is $23.
on the water and rail route as good
refrigeration is assured as that at pres
ent prevailing.
Difference in Time Slight
mrhe difference in time of transpor-
tation would not be much, as it is fig
ured that either by the lsthInuS OF
Tehuantepec routes fruit could be
transported from Los Angeles to New
York in about sixteen days.
Los Angeles Is certainly making
easterners sit up and take notice Los
Angeles port is now the official name
of San Pedro harbor, and in every way
we are looked on rs most important
city. AS a seaport we are already rec
ognized, as well as along other lines,
and the appropriation of $47S,Oo0 for
the harbor will be available as soon as
the routine of passing bill for it is
gone through.
'sBoth Senator Flint and Congress-
man McLachlan did yeoman service in
their fight for ship subsidy for the
Pacific coast. Senator Flint was par
ticularly vigorous in HIS efforts, and
his work is certain to be attended with
success. So plain was his statement
of the case that Senator Simmons at
the hearing stated that the Pacific
coast was certainly entitled to that for
which it asked, and that he never had
been informed of the facts before"

GOALS TO ALASKA.

There's cargo Of coal now en- route
to Alaska. This fact is strange, but
true--it is coming via Japan. There
are hundreds Of millions of tons OF
coal in Alaska, but by some strange
freak of circumstances it is going to
stay in the ground for some time to
come.
There's enough coal in Alaska to
turn the Arctic zone into a raging fur
mace IL it were set on fire. 1t could
be mined so cheap that it would be
cheaper than the cheapest coal in the
world, according to authentic reports
but instead of monster coal mines
being developed a bunch of slant-eyed
Japs are shipping coal into Alaska and
making money out of the Americans
in the far north.
They can call this thing by any
name they want. Conservation or
conversation. it's all the same thing
To the hard headed American It is all

FIGHTING WHITE PLAGUE,

Fargoans should be interested in the
world wide efforts to fight the white
plague The campaign being waged
against the disease should have the
cooperation and support of every
resident of the country.
One phase of the question to which
many people have made objection is
the manner in which many people in
SYST on the isolation of tubercular
people. To many this method appears
heartIess to a high degree
No one will for a moment deny this
necessity of proper treatment of the
patients-and all will insist that every
proper effort be made to prevent the
spread of the disease Few people
will care to sit or sleep in the same
room with a patient who is in a far
advanced stage of consumption
There should be more humane con-
sideration for the victim of the disease.
One of the most unreasoning things
is the senseless panic over the location
of sanatorium in a community. There
/ is no necessity of stunning tubercular
people in the sense that people should
avoid people afflicted with smallpox.
A great injustice and misery has been
caused by the attitude of those who
were needlessly frightened.
Tubercular patients must be pre-
vented from spreading disease-but
this can be done without placing the
victim in the attitude of a leper. Ex-
perts are united in the declaration that
tuberculosis is not catching in the
ordinary acceptance of that word. Its
chief danger is from spreading from
the sputum of the victim If this is
properly disposed of the great source
Iof peril to others is removed. This
fact should be impressed on the public
mind.
There is a great necessity for the
Fproper education on the nature of the
white plague and the ordinary safe.
guards that should be used. Humani.
tartan methods must be adopted and
with the exercise of proper care there
Is hope of the eradication of the dreat
disease.

enough about public welfare.

AMERICUS IN MIDST OF
TIDAL WAVE OF BUYING
Merchants Are Busy With
Holiday Buyers Already.

With yesterday AInericuS merchant.
welcomed another wave of holiday buy
ers even greater than that of the last
week, and with the festival of Christ.
mas but three week off the stores art
beginning to feel the effects of thu
season when all the world gives ant
receives presents.
There are few so poor that they
cannot get up a few dollars with whicl
to purchase some remembrance fol
loved ones, while tie big majority
will average many dollars in expen-
ditures.
The merchants anticipate a large
holiday business during the holiday
rush. They estimate that the free
dom with which, early purchases are
made is an indication THAT people have
plenty of money to carry them through
what is generally regarded by indi-
viduals as a financial crisis.
The shoppers are showing a dispo-
!ition to choose a higher class of goods
than formerly, another indication that
money win be plentiful.
The last week before Christmas will
see stores crowded from morning un
tol night The counters will be de-
nuded and replenished daily and tired
men and women will jostle each other
in their efforts to get what is left Of
Die things that have not already been
picked over by tie more fortunate ear
ly shoppers.
Silver lis among the fancy articles
that have secured early popularity
Wlomenis pocketbooks and handbags
and jewelry cases are being purcas-
ed freely. There are many noveltie..
and new and pretty designs among the
offerings. Cut glass is also in the
forefront of popularity.
Pins, brooches and ornaments in
slver are finding ready sale. The jew
elers anticipate a better business dur
ing the next week or ten days than
during the last few days before Christ
mas, when tbs demand will probably
be for a cheaper line of goods.
The dry goods stores are, of course,
popular at all seasons when money
plentiful, the vanity of women requir-
ing their personal adornment under
all conditions.
The merchants are offering a more
choice line of goods an dare carrying
a large number of handsome articles
tban formerly, on this account, and
early indications lead them to believe
hat their Judgment in this regard has
not been misplaced
