YOUNG SOCIETY FOLK
TRICK NAVY OFFICERS
Five Men and Girl In England Visit
Warship as RoyaIty-Recelved
with Many Honors

LONDON, Feb. 19.-Details have just
leaked out of a hoax played on the Off
GERS of the warship Dreadnought by
five young men and a girl, all of high
social position. one of them belonging
to noble family.
A firm of theatrical costumers was
engaged to furnish four Of the con-
spirators with costumes and makeups
of Abyssinian princes, the girl being
one of them. Two men were rugged up
as an attache and an interpreter. Gold
chains, ornaments and real jewels or
great value were worn.
After days of careful rehearsal the
conspirators sent q telegram to the
commander In chief Of the home fleet at
Portland. saying:
prince Makalin and suite will ar
rive at Weymouth at 4;20. Kindly
make all arrangements to receive
them"
Travelling in a special coach, the par
ty reached weymouth and were taken
in state to the Dreadnought, lying off
Portland. They were received on board
with all honors, flags flying and ma
rines standing at present arms"
Wireless telegraphy the big guns
and the torpedoes were explained.
Prince Makalin, when the inspection Of
the ship was finished, wished to confer
a decoration on the officer conducting
the party but the latter had to refuse
in conformity with the naval regula-
tions.
At last the prince. who was supposed
to be in England arranging for the
sending Of his sons and nephews to

we had no money with which to pay
increased pensions.
Mr.. Chairman, during the two ses-
sions mentioned congress appropriated
over $2,000,000,000, a vast amount of
which was unnecessary and absolutely
thrown away. over 1900 new offices
and the raise of salary, together with
the salaries of the new officers
amounted to the enormous sum of $751;
0,2S9
Plenty of money Mr.. Chairman, to
increase the presidents salary from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year, but no money
to increase the pensions of old soldiers.
Plenty Of money to provide every con-
venience and comfort for yourselves
but no money with which to pay the
honest debt to the men who saved the
Union. Plenty of money to appropriate
$136, 100000 for the use of the navy.
a large amount of which was positively
wasted, but no money to appropriate for
the men who offered their lives for the
preservation of the states. Plenty OF
money to appropriate $101, 900, 900 for
the use of the army, a considerable
amount of which was dissipated in
the payment of high salaries and for
useless experiments, but no money to
pay the boys in blue whose service
made it possible for you and me to
enjoy q united country. Plenty of
money to appropriate millions for riv-
ers and harbors, but not a dollar for
the men who gave the best years OF
their lives in defending the flag. Plenty
of money to appropriate that special
committees may travel all over the
country, making expensive investiga-
tions of various subjects, but no
money to pay an honest debt we owe
the men whose heroic efforts and pa
triotic services made possible the great
acf nd 1adAcf nnffn1 fha FUnf.1d n
ever known.
All, Mr.. Chairman, I have no patience
with the idea that the old soldier has
been properly cared for. You have
provided soldiers homes, and the rec
ords show that it costs from $400 to
$500 a year to care for each and every
soldier provided for in this manner.
Pass this bill of mine, give them a
dollar a day, and they will go back to
their old homes and live among their
relatives and friends and the tremen-
dous expense of maintaining soldiers
homes will be reduced to a minimum.
Now Mr.. Chairman, sincerely hope
this bill will have an early considera-
! ton, and l ask members of the house
to join me in bringing it to a vote I
want to know who in the house are the
true friends of the soldier Many of
| you when the campaign is on tell the
| soldiers in your districts how you love
! them and how anxious you are to see
their pensions increased, and then,
after the election is over, you come
| to congress and never raise your voice
in their behalf. I am glad, however,
to know the old soldier does have
many friends on the floor OF the house,
and I appeal to each one of you to aid
me in bringing about the passage of
this bill.
1 serve notice on you now that IL
my bill or a similar bill is not passed
during this session will be back again
next winter and continue the fight for
more liberal pensions, to the end that
full justice may yet be done the few
who remain as representatives of the
bravest. the most patriotic and self
sacrificing soldiery ever seen on the
field Of battle.

Act of Tardy Justice
This bill. if enacted into law, will
give every soldier who served ninety
days and was honorably discharged a
pension of 81 a day; Now, Mr. Chalr-
man, there should be no time lost in
passing this bill. 1t will be an act of
tardy Justice. The old soldiers are
now dying at the rate of one every
thirteen minutes; over lis each day;
42. 900 [ am informed died last year,
and still you say, "Wait, wait wait. -
Once a year you tenderly scatter a few
flowers on the graves of those who
have answered the call; now let us
scatter a few flowers in the pathway
of those who yet live.
Mr.. Chairman, we are unnecessarily
expending a vast sum of money each
year that should go to the soldiers in
the way of increased pensions. 1t costs
us annually 100000 to maintain the
seventeen pension agencies, and the
government has no more use for them
than a dog has with seventeen tails.
The secretary of the interior and the
commissioner of pensions have time
and time again been recommended
their discohtinuance, and assured us
that pensions can be paid just as
quickly and even quicker from Wash
ington by present methods. Tken we
are spending $3S0,00 every year for pen
sion detectives, and in addition a vast
sum of money for examiners boards,
etc. How much better it would be to
cut out all this useless expense and
place all soldiers on the roll at 81
a day.
Two years ago. when pressed a bill
| then had for the relief of soldiers,
L was met with the argument that con-
gress had not long before passed the
McCumber act and that no pension
legislation would be considered at
that time. Then, again, one year ago

there was a deficit in the government

ADVOCATES NEW
PLAN FOR CITIES
JOHN, z. WHITE DISCUSSES
COMMISSION FORM
SEES LITTLE DANGER IN MAKING
THE CHANGE
City Club Is Addressed by Man Who
Is Nationally Known for His
Views on Municipal Leals-
Iatlon

The commission plan Of government
was explained to the City club yester-
day by John 2. White, nationally
known as an advocate of direct legis-
lation.
Many of our municipal endeavors
might be changed without much dan
ger" said Mr.. White. "Take New York,
for instance. After a season of Tam
many the people flew to another method
of government, and after that failed
again they threw themselves into the
arms of Tammany. The history of
Tammany has been the history of all
our great municipalities. But there
must be a way to govern our cities
properly. And there is! There is an
adjustment that Is natural, and be-
cause it is natural it is scientific. Why
are we so slow to recognize that we
should carry on our public business as
we do our private affairs?
do we want order in our public re-
lations? Then go after 1t just as we
do in our private affairs. How is a
large business managed? One man with
centered responsibility is put in con-
troll. AS the business increases and
gets beyond his physical limitations
he is given an assistant, and then, as
1t still grows, another assistant is add
ed, but always physical limitation de-
termines the number of men in control.
1--WE are told the commission plan OF
government is all right for a small
city, but that it will not work in a
large one. Why not? Is the law of
mathematics any different when deal
ing with large factors than it is in deal
ing with small ones? Public business
has been in such a chaotic condition for
so many years that we have become ac-
customed to thinking that this chaos
is the natural condition.
"Our attempt is to secure the efi-
cheney of a monarchical government
with the safety of a republican form.
This is what the commission form of
government, combined with direct leg
islation, means. 1t is concentrating the
managing power. Make it five com
missioners, if you choose-I would ad-
wise three, and if you can get man
energetic enough, one will do. These
few men you can pay good salaries.
Elect one man as the head of each de-
partment Each must be responsible
for every order coming up in his de-
partment They execute separately and
legislate as a group"
Mr.. White told Of a number of in
stances where good results followed
the commission form of government.
He quoted figures to show that the last
year of the old form of government
Des Moines had a deficit of $119,0O0.
and the first year of the commission
plan it closed with surplus of $1OS,0OO.

career. A special meeting of the state

opponents are confident they have votes
enough to oust the present chairman.
Since the organization of the Demo-

ber there have been many predictions
that Conners' days as chairman were
numbered. The revolt has caused Con-
ners to cut short his stay at Palm

his defense.

him only to Caruso and Constantine,

The honored mother of Shan Mat

aversion to street cars, in fact to all
vehicles of. locomotion, Shan Matsu-

to carry her into Los Angeles to the
offices of DR.. Tom Shee Bin, Sixth and
Main streets, when she was suddenly
taken i'll last week. 1t is six miles to
