HOW THEY CELEBRATED.
San Francisco Led All Coast Cities in
Qualifications


The New Year was solemnly re-
ceived in the northwest, riotously in
San Francisco, cautiously in Los
Angeles and joyfully in San Diego.
Church bells predominated in some of
the interior cities and cowbells in
others. Police orders and threatening
weather caused restraint in several
cities, and on the whole the Pacific
coast welcomed the newcomer in a
spirit somewhat less convivial than
that of year ago.
Spokane, Portland, Tacoma and Sc
attic celebrated in restrained and
seemly fashion, under tightly clamped
lids. The Sunday closing laws were
enforced in all four cities, watch-night
services were held and the street carni-
walls of other years did not material
ize.
San Francisco was carefully policed
but exuberant in spirit. The city
showed true to form in the revels in
streets, hotels and cafes, with an un.
ending din filing the downtown thor
oughfares.
Los Angeles was joyful. but circum
spect, with all saloons closed and nc
liquor served in cafes and restaurants
without meals. The police said the
New Years eve was the most orderly
in the history of the city
Sacramento and San Diego celebrated
by open-air concerts, with churcl
chimes ringing

New York's Celebration.

New York.-The border line between
1911 and 1912 was marked here with
more midnight church services than
have been held on New Years eve
for many years, but praises and hymns
were almost drowned with the bedlam
of noise in the streets. 1t was a
rainy night, following an early-morning
snow, and the streets were slushy, but
through them great crowds moved, toot-
ing horns, changing cowbells and max
ing all sorts of noises.

Morrow,s Widow Arrested.

Chieago.-Mrs. Rene Morrow, widow
of Charles b. Morrow, was taken into
custody by the police Monday when
investigation of Morrow's death was
reopened after a corOner's jury had re-
turned a suicide verdict Morrow, a
former wealthy inventor, was found
shot to death on a porch Of his home
December %. Mrs. Morrow, at the in
quest, said her husband had been de-
spondent because he had failed to inter
est capital in certain inventions. 1t is
now claimed she loved another and
wanted her husband, with whom she
was not living, out of the way.

AGREE ON CANAL TOLL RATES
Commerce Committee Is Told Panama
Ditch viii Be Opened 1918.

Members of the interstate and for
eign commerce committee of the house,
who returned recently from trip to
the Panama canal, expressed themselves
as favorable to the toll rates for pas
sage through the canal varying from
so cents to 81 a ton. There is a strong
sentiment in favor of free passage of
American coastwise shipping through
the canal. The canal will actually be
opened during the fall of 1918.
