As INCHES is BAGGAGE LIMIT
Railroad Restrictions on Size of
Trunks Effective June 1.

Washington, D. C.-Restrictions on
freak baggage and baggage of ex-
IRENE length or width will be placed
in effect about June l, according to
plans now being made by the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
1t is understood that these new reg
ulations, which will limit the size Of
the trunks that will be handled by the
railroads to Is inches in length, will
work no hardship on the travelling
public, but will serve to check effec-
lively the tendency of commercial
statesmen and the houses that employ
them to carry queer-shaped trunks and
baggage of unusual proportions. 1t is
probable that the commission will
stipulate that baggage exceeding "
inches in any dimension will not be
accepted for checking at all. The
charge for handling baggage over 45
inches in length, width or height will
be equivalent to five pounds of excess
weight for each inch of excess meas
urement.
These regulations were adopted by
the railroads nearly two years ago,
but agitation of the trunk manufac-
turers has postponed their enforce
ment.

POKING FUN AT SUFFRAGISTS
England Laughs at Threats of Rich
American Contingent.

London-London papers are poking
fun at Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, the
American suffragette sympathizer,
over her declaration that she would
not spend penny in London because
of the treatment of English suffra-
gettes by the government. William
Waldorf Astor's Pail Mall Gazette ex-
claims:
go 81 sic omnes."
The Star compares Mrs. Belmont to
little boy who went into the garden
to eat worms.
The Evening News says: "Despite
Mrs. Belmont's refusal to scatter her
millions among the inhabitants of this
country the government will maintain
more or less firm attitude"
Mrs. Belmont, who is staying at a
London hotel, said:
81 mean just what I say when de-
clare that if New York fails to awake,
we shall introduce militant methods of
the type used in England.
81 also meant what said before
leaving America about spending no
money in England. But / was COM
PEELED to stay in this hotel because

PEARL IS SEASONS STONE
In Simple Necklace or in Festoons It
ls the Choice of the Devotee
Of Fashion.

The pearl necklace is a dictator Of
fashion at the present time. 1t must
be visible upon the uncovered throat,
which is the position that best suits
the milk-white luster of the gems, and
because it does not cling very tightly
to the neck but droops downwards the
corsage of the daytime frock must
be cut low, and that of the evening
frock still lower, in the graceful V
design.
In the day the necklace is only Of
moderate length, a mere string Of
pearls, but for full-dress wear ropes
of the gems are worn, festooned,
looped and arranged as if falling from
an epaulette boss upon the shoulder to
show of their exquisite luster. AS a
girdle dropping below the waist there
is manifold beauty in string of the
jewels, and some women give their
necklaces sun bath by wearing them
to weigh down the chiffon motor veil
that preserves the complexion ia more
radiant chimes than this.

CARNIVAL IDEA ORGANIZED
Pacific Coast Cities to Cooperate
in Civic Gaiety.

Santa Barbara, Cal.-With the de-
velopment of the carnival spirit and
the making of the entire West into a
gigantic playground as its object, the
California Celebrations committee has
been organized here.
The meeting was attended by prom
inent California officials of several
railroads and representatives from
civic bottles. A committee to formu-
late the general plans of the new or
ganization and to invite representa-
tives of other cities to attend another
meeting to be held here as soon as
possible was appointed.
The committee expressed the hope
that Portland, Seattle, Honolulu and
other cities would cooperate with the
organization in plan to have the fes-
rivals in the various cities arranged to
follow one another, instead OF being
held simultaneously, and to have fea-
lures typical Of the cities as well as
historical.

WIRELESS OPERATORS STRIKE
Western Men Will Be Supported by
East If Necessary.

San misunderstanding to Sylves-
ter ]. Konenkamp, international pres
ident of the Commercial Telegraphers
union of America, who is here direct
ing the strike against the Marconi
Wireless company, general orders call
ing out all wireless operators employ
ed by the corporation in the East will
be issued as soon as it becomes evil
dent that the battle of the strikers
cannot be won on the Pacific Coast.
Konenkamp professed to be optim-
istic concerning the outcome of the
strike, and is of the opinion that the
affair will terminate where it began,
in the West, and that the company
will be forced to accede to the demand
of the union for a higher wage sched-
ule.
eve are asking $50 month for
first operators and $50 for second key
man, now receiving from $50 to 45 for
their services" said he. "We did
not order the strike until every effort
to settle the matter by arbitration had
failed. The San Francisco Labor
Council then took up the matter with
the Marconi people, and President
Andrew j. Gallagher, after confer
ence with A. H. Gilman, the Marconi
manager, advised US to go ahead, the
quicker the better.
"There are So men now on strike in
this city. The men at Astoria are
also out, and the operators at East
San Pedro have left their keys. Many
of the maritime unions have assured
us of moral and financial support"

WORLD RECORD HEN IS DEAD
At Age of Is Years Had Laid Over
$500 Eggs.

Pasadena-Theodo Roosevelt, so
named because of her evident antag-
onism toward race suicide, said to
have been the oldest hen in America is
dead at the home of her owner, Mrs.
Elizabeth Grinnell, Of Pasadena. She
was rs years old.
Theodosia numbered among her
friends many of the notables who have
passed their winters in Pasadena in
the last quarter century, among them
Mrs. Russell Sage, who, on her last
visit to this city, made three calls at
the Grinnell home to pet Theodosia.
The aged hen laid approximately
$500 eggs in her long and useful life,
besides mothering many broods of
incubator-hatched chickens. Statisti-
clans figure that the eggs laid by
Theodosia, at the average price of
only Is cents a dozen, were worth
s93.75. The accepted cost of keeping
hen in these parts is 81 a year, max
ing Theodosia's net earnings $68.75.
At a capitalized value of $1.25. she
has made 5000 per cent on her valua-
ton for her owners.
Poultry experts admit their accepted
theories of the extreme egg possibili-
ties of a hen have been shattered by
the exceptional Theodosia, who in her
lifetime laid several times the number
of eggs that naturalists and poultry
college experts would have said any
hen could attain to.

MIIIIner's Old Ribbons.

A mflliner, who was renovating old
ribbons, did it in this way: First she
smoothed them gently, then sponged
them with weak ammonia water,
shook them briskly in the air and laid
them between towels for a few min
utes. When ready to press she had
several hot, heavy irons ready. She
laid the ribbons smoothly between
fresh white tissue papers and pressed
them quickly. When ironed she ex-
amined them critically In q strong
light and sponged out every shiny
streak with alcohol.

Burns Monday night that they were
ready to work out the remaining seven
days Of their Jail sentence, provided
they received the regulation prison

clusion Of stormy "star chamber

bread and water on which they had
subsisted for 48 hours were called I'm

In Pastel Shade.

It has become quite a fad to have
the combinations, corset covers, pet
ticoats, gowns, etc., in colored batiste
to match the costumes with which
they are to be worn, or else to har-
monte with the decorations of the
boudoir, particularly in the case of
gowns and petticoats. The trimmings
are usually lace of the shadow or val
variety Cluny, baby Irish and venise
are used on gowns and petticoats.
This fad will probably continue until
hot weather arrives, at which time
there Is nothing better than white.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC is LOSER
2,373, 900 Acres Forfeited by Violat-
ing Terms of Grant.

SSvscsvVV xASACS VOK1C1ICO ny vlUl6t-
ing Terms of Grant.
Portland-Lands in Oregon aggrega-
ting 2,373,000 acres, held by the
Southern Pacific by virtue of grants
made by congress to its predecessor,
the Oregon & California Railroad COM
pany, in 1866 and 1870, were declared
forfeited to the United States govern
ment in a decree pronounced by Judge
Charles E. Wolverton, of the United
States District court.
The decree was based on the fact.
which Judge Wolverton assumed to
have been proved, that the railroad
company violated the terms under
which the grant was made, in not sell
ing the lands to actual settlers at
$3.50 an acre, in selling lands at a
higher price than $3.50 an acre, and
in selling more that 16O acres to one
person.
Judge Wolverton's decision is an
other step in the upward march of the
celebrated case toward the United
States Supreme court. The entrance
of the decree will be suspended for a
few days to allow for the clearing up
of some minor matters connected with
the case.
AS soon as the decree is formally
entered the Southern Pacific will ap-
peal the case to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, which means
that it will be tried in the Ninth Cir
cult District at San Francisco. This
court convenes the first Monday in Oc-
tober, 1913, and the case probably will
be assigned to hearing for the fol-
lowing November.

Notwithstanding to a report pub
lished in Berlin, an Austrian naval
division has left. Trieste with 10000
troops, with the intention of occupy
ing Antivari Dulcigno and San Clio
vanni di Medua, and advancing
against Cettinje.
The Strassburger Post asserts that
the German emperor has received
telegram saying the Austrians already
have entered Montenegro. This prob
ably is premature, but little doubt is
felt that Austria is determined to
move alone unless the ambassadorial
conference at London resolves upon
European action.
Essad Pasha, the hero of Scutari,
who had picturesque and adventurous
career, made dramatic move in pro-
claiming himself king of Albania and
is said to be marching into the inter-
ior of Albania with 100000 men. He
was received with enthusiasm at
Alessio and is proceeding to Tirana to
be proclaimed and take possession.
Essad Pasha is an Albanian chief
tian of the type which earned for the
Albanians a reputation for barbaric
simplicity approaching savagery. He
was always opposed to the young
Turks repressive measures in Al
bania. In Vienna and Paris his sur
render of Scutari is regarded as hav-
ing been an arranged matter with
King Nicholas, who approved his plan
to proclaim himself independent prince
of Albania
The whole scheme of the alleged
storming of Scutari and the marching
out of Essad Pasha's army with their
arms is now regarded as move to de-
ceive Europe. Essad is said to have
Joined david Pasha's army of 5000
men, and if he has the support of
Servia and Montenegro it will be
severe blow for Austria.
