Los ANGELES IS
HOWL|NG At RATES
Declares Ell Paso Now Has
the Better of 1t to Ari-
IONA Points.
Says the Los Angeles Examiner:


Los Angeles shippers Of perishable
products are complaining of tne South
ern Pacific rates from this city to Ari-
IONA points They say the railroad
discriminates against this city in favor
of others, notably Ell Paso, Texas, and
that because of the unfair tactics OF
the Southern Pacific Ell Paso is obtain
ing much of the Arizona trade that
should come to Los Angeles
Aided by the Southern Pacific, the
FL Paso shippers, 1t is stated, are en-
abled to ship cheaper to Arizona, and
as they are allowed to ship cars con-
tanning only 5000 pounds, while the
minimum weight allowed Los Angeles
shippers is 26,700 pounds, it is possible
for Ell Paso shippers TO send several
carloads of produce to Arizona points
while Los Angeles shippers are send
ing one carload. The ability to supply
Arizona consumers more frequently
than Los Angeles shippers can, gives
FL Paso dealers a great advantage and
renders successful competition by Los
Angeles extremely difficult
Produce shippers of this city also say
they are unfairly treated by the South
ern Pacific railroad in the matter OF
refrigeration. Los Angeles shippers are
not allowed to furnish their own ice for
SIS q car refrigeration charges. Ell Paso
shippers. on the other hand, may fur
nish their own ice, and therefore can ice
their products at cost Of about 50 a
car, it is reported, or $50 less than II
costs the shippers Of this city
At first the railroad allowed the I'll
Paso shippers the minimum OF 5000
pounds to car only on packing house
products, but later It changed the tariff
to include all perishable products The
Ell Paso shippers now can load car
with 5000 pounds of fruit, smoked
meats, cheese, eggs, butter and vegeta-
bles, while the Los Angeles shippers
can ship no less than 26,700 pounds to
a car, and are not allowed to put any
butter, cheese, eggs or similar COM
modities in the same car with fruit.
Los Angeles shippers consider the
rate of s1.22h a hundredweight from
this city to Globe, Ariz., exorbitant and
another evidence that the Southern Pa
cific railroad is doing all in Its power
to throw the trade of Arizona, which
is naturally tributary to Los Angeles.

DOG MAY DECIDE
FATE OF NEGROES

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-A big,
black dog may influence the decision
as to whether any Of the negro SOL
diers discharged for the shooting UP of
Brownsville. Tex, are to be allowed 10

Captain Charles Z. Rowland, re-

along ahead OF the soldiers. His story
OF the dog was only one Of the points

WAR MING ARCTIC OCEAN
is THE LATEST SCHEME
Plan to Blow Up Northern Ice
Is Suggested

No sooner had the north pole been
discovered than a project is on foot
for blowing up the ice barrier which
separates the Atlantic ocean from the
Arctic ocean. The idea is that of a
Canadian. who thinks that by allowing
the warm currents of the Atlantic to
penetrate northward, the shores of
Canada and Greenland will be heated.
and the climate sensibly altered for
better. says the London Globe.
There is no absolute reason why
Newfoundland, Labrador and Greenland
should suffer so from the intense cold.
for they are in the same ATTITUDES as
London. Edinburgh and Tromsoe If
the governments of England and Amer
lea would unite and by means of ex-
plosives shatter the ice along the
coasts of Greenland and in the Davis
and Bering straits, the warm water
from the south would penetrate to the
northwest and keep the ice from re-
forming. In this fashion, saws the
originator of the idea in five or six
years time the Arctic ocean should be
opened up.
The task of blowing up the enormous
masses of thick ice would be no light
one. but supposing this to be accom-
plished there is another point to be
considered. The warm Atlantic water
might penetrate to the frozen north
west. but, on the other hand. the chill
and icy waters of those regions would
be displaced and come south. to tbe
great detriment of countries that are
now warm and thickly Inhabited.

CATTLE KINGS SON
SECRETLY MARRIED
Henry st. Clair Boyd on Honey

Henry St. Clair Boyd, son of the late
Marin county, secretly married May Z.
Ryan. a school teacher of Kentheld.

Rafael family, January %, and the
couple are now enjoying their honey

Whether or not the new Mrs. Boyd is

for which Boyd was sued recently is
not known.
Mrs. Alexander Boyd. the groom's s
mother and his brother, George P.
Boyd. have not made any mention of
the marriage. The brides sisters an
nounced it in San Rafael yesterday.
Those who have followed the course
of events In Boyd's life recently be-
lieve they can trace something sig
nificant in the dates Of his marriage
and the purchase of the jewelry for
which the justices court held him.
And the character of the trinkets is
significant also.
The principal item sued for was a
diamond ring valued al $50, which was
of the nature of an engagement ring.
Then there was a stickpin also. worth
$2s.35. The marriage took place a few
days before the suit was instituted.
The couple went TO Santa Rosa, there
obtained their marriage license, and
then drove to Healdsburg. where they
were married by Father Barry. Then
they returned quietly to San Rafael and
only last Saturday left on their honey
moon. The two secured a special dis

married outside of their parish

BIG BALLROOM

FOR HUNDREDS
Fire Sweeps Great Hall and

Doors Nailed Up and Panic
. Reigns Until Blazing Roof
Falls Ending Suffering

NATE -SZALKA, Hungary, March 26.
The village of Oekoerito and the ada
cent districts have been thrown into
mourning by terrible disaster at the
former place last night which resulted
in the death of between 800 and 400
persons and the serious injury of 100
others.
A public ball was announced to De
held at the hotel, where the coach house
had been fitted up as ballroom. 1t
was a great barnlike structure, deco
rated with tinder dry June branches
left from a previous entertainment to
which were added for the occasion dec
orations and Chinese lanterns. The fes-
tivity attracted pleasure seekers from
the surrounding country and the build
ing was so packed. just before the ball
commenced that the single door that
afforded entrance and exit was nailed
up to prevent the admittance of scores
who clamored outside.
DREADFUL PANIC ENSUES
While the dancing was in full swing
a pine branch caught fire and fell to the
floor. 1t blazed furiously and almost
instantly the dresses of several women
burst into flames. The fire spread with
astonishing rapidity. A dreadful panic
ensued, the jewellers losing their heads
completely. Many of them, with flames
shooting out from their garments.
rushed toward the barred exit. where
surging mass was jammed together.
Women and men fell and were tram
pied under foot Those in front vainly
endeavored to tear open the door, but
were crushed helplessly by the pres
sure of the crowd behind.
WRECKAGE BURIED VICTIMS
Soon the roof crashed in, the blazing
wreckage falling on the helpless vic
tins so that many of those who had
hitherto escaped the flames were struck
down by beams or buried under debris
When the door was finally broken
open some few persons escaped, but
most of these collapsed before they
got far Inside the building were
heaps of charred corpses. Screams
and groaRs still were audible from the
smoking piles. A detachment of troops
was ordered to the scene to clear the
wreckage and help bury the dead.
The official estimate. as given to-
night, states that 29o persons perished.
but it is believed that the total death
roll will prove much larger than this,
as many persons have not been ac-
counted for.

Empress of Russia Stands Alone

According to a Paris paper the new
queen of the Belgians is a lover of the
Egyptian cigarette. The queen mother
of Spain used to urge the ambassadors
to smoke in her presence when regent
of the kingdom, her majesty being a
good smoker herself. On the other
hand. the late Queen Victoria had a
great objection to tobacco. The Ger
man empress tolerates smoke, for her
lord is a great smoker-cigarettes

there is no country where ladies of high
degree smoke so generally as they do
