Actress in Trouble.

st. Louis, Jan. 9.-Personal belong
ings of FRITZ Scheff, famous actress,
have been attached to satisfy a judg-
ment obtained by Henry Beudel, a
costumer in New York.
The attachment included everything
the actress has in the way of clothes,
etc, except what she has on her back.
What she had on when the writ was
served consisted of one beautiful
French nightie, for she has been i'll
in bed since the unpleasantness which
caused her to retire from pretty Mrs.
Smith" to enter the movies on the Pa
cific coast. Today, while Miss Scheff
sleeps, deputy guards the outer room
to see that FRITZ wears no more than
the nightie if she wishes to get out.

IMMENSE THRONG AT
AUTOMOBILE RACE

Race Course, San Diego, Jan. g.
Driving with wild bursts of speed and
risking their lives on dangerous turns,
Eddie Rickenbacher, in Peougeot No.
Z; Tom Alley, in Duesenberg No. 2,
and Earl Cooper, in Stutz No. 8, took
the lead in the $4,000 exposition road
race before crowd that completely
overran every available space.
Time for 1s laps-No. 7, 1:36:12;
No. 2, 1:37:35; No. 8, 1:3S:00; No. 10,
1:40:56; No. II, 1:41:18.

No. s, 2:O9:58; No. II, 2:13:22; No.
10, 2:l3:29; No. a, 2:13:38.
Rickenbacher, who had been out for
several laps on the back stretch, here
returned to the pit on three cylinders,
but was unable to resume the race.
Earl in the race Callaghan, in Dues
onberg No. 10, struck a post at dan
gerous turn near the Theosophical
headquarters and, although no one was
hurt, the car was so badly damaged
it had to quit the race.
The Gordon Special, driven by Hunt
ley Gordon, went out at the railroad
crossing on the first lap. No one was
kurt and the car quickly resumed the
race.
Sunbeam, car No. II, Harry Grant
driver, had broken frame and did not
start.
Tom Alley, in Duesenberg No. 2, was
then put in position to start first.
Others who started were sent off in
30-second intervals. Rickenbacher
and Oldfield were favorites at the
start of the race.
The largest crowd in the history of
San Diego witnessed the race. So
dangerous was the course considered
that six hospital ambulances and the
best physicians were engaged for the
day.

Failure and Suicide,

New York, Jan. 9.-Within an hour
after the announced failure of his
firm was posted on the stock ex-
change, G. F. Stringer, Jr., committed
suicide in his office at No. Exchange
place today.
The brokerage firm of which String
Ell was member was that of G.. F.
Stringer 4 Co., the senior partner
being the father of the suicide. String
er shot himself through the mouth
with a revolver. The suicide and fail
ure of the firm are due to unprece-
dented increases in the price of wheat,
III which he sold heavily, believing the
price would go down. The attorney
for the firm estimated that it had
failed for $160,000.

President Wilson Makes

long awaited address before the 1ndi-

metropolis.
He declared the people of the ma :

to show whether they believed his ad-
ministration was success or not. His
audience took up his words, and long
cheers, ending in 1916 which echoed
through the hall, gave prolonged ap-
proval to his challenge.
President Wilson announced imself
as in favor of a national employment
bureau for the first time in his politi-
cal career; he staunchly defended his
roliey of "watchful waiting" in Mex
ieo he held the Republican party up
to scorn as an organization which had
not had a new idea in thirty years."

EUREKA is WRECKED
WHEN HIT BY WAVE

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-While only
the bow of the ill-fated steamer is
left on the Jagged rocks off Point
Bonita, at the entrance to the Golden
Gate, as evidence of the latest trag
edy on this coast, the life savers at
Point Bonita and North Point are
securing the scene for the body OF
James Bolger. second mate, the only
member of the crew of nineteen to
lose his life.
The Eureka was bound for Ventura
with a cargo of general freight, and
was caught broadside on by one giant
wave, which flooded the engine room
and carried away the deck house just
after it had passed through the Gold
en- Gate. The vessel drifted straight
for the rocks, where it turned turtle
and broke up.
Captain A. K. Paulsen and the crew
took to their boats. Bolger was amid
ships and was cut off by high seas
from joining his mates, and is be-
lieved to have perished. He is sur
vived by his wife and two children.
An all-night search failed to reveal
his body. The Eureka was worth $780,
900 and the cargo $4,000.

Growers Make Last Stand
Against Cotton Rates

A last stand against the inaugu-
ration by the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company of proposed revised
iates on shipments of cotton raised
in the Imperial Valley and in the Salt
River Valley of Arizona to the mar
kets of the East, was taken yesterday
by the cotton interests of the South
west in hearing before Examiner
a Attorney Wood of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in Los Angeles.
The shippers and growers are de
manding that the commission refuse
to allow the railroads to charge the
present rate of 95 cents hundred
pounds, including compressing charges
in transit, in spite of the fact that
the new schedule already has been
published and has been suspended
pending final consideration of the
evidence adduced at the hearing.
Within the past few months several
attempts have been made between the
Southern Pacific Company and the
growers to reach an amicable agree
ment, but the growers have not been
satisfied with any of the propositions
submitted to them.
The new schedule, not yet effective,
proposes a rate of S5 cents per 100
pounds on compressed cotton (the cost
of compressing to be assumed by the
shipper), and $1.15 on uncompressed
cotton. The 95-cent rate, including
compressing in transit, which the rail
roads seek to revise, has been in force
for fourteen years.
1t was said, as there is but one com
press now in operation west of Texas,
tie growers of the Southwest would
be compelled either to patronize that
or to ship their cotton as
far east rs Houston, as uncompressed

Hailed in advance as the opening
gun of the Democratic 1914 campaign,
the address did not fail to live up to
its press notices and was not lacking
in sensations and surprises.
He called upon the people of the
United States to cast their gaze upon
the European war if they would be
satisfied with life in free and peace
ful republic
81 love the Democratic party; but |
love the country more he said. He
declared that whenever the Democratic
party ceased to be the party of pro-
gress he would leave it.
The president declared that the new
currency act had been responsible for
the first January in many decades in
which money stringency had not oc-
Cured
"The present Congress has the most
remarkable record of any since the
Civil war;" he declared.
He laid stress upon the fact that
the Independent voter had the future
of all the parties 'in the hollow of
his hand,' and reiterated the fact that
he must, by force of circumstances,
lend his support to the Democratic
party, since the Republican is domi-
rated by reactionaries.
He also created a sensation by as
serting that if last November's cleo
ton had been presidential one the
Democratic party would have had a
majority of so votes in the electoral
college.
Although the President was given A
most prosaic and uneventful reception
ON the streets of indianapolis, he was
greeted by overflowing enthusiasm
during the course of his address. He
was given reception at Senator
Kerns home before his address and
an automobile ride through the city
after his speech. He left Washing
ton at GAS o'clock.
Tha presidents address is regarded
ir all quarters as by far the most i'm
portant utterance of his political ca
reer and as the signal for all his sup
rorters to rally to his side for his
coming fight for denomination. In the
early part of his speech the president
emphasized the fact repeatedly that
he was fighting man and that he
had little use for the man who would
not fight for his own convictions and
principles.
1t is deemed probable that the In
dianapolis tlip will be followed by
others if the opposition to the admin
istration ship purchase bill does not
weaken in the near future. The pres
ident is known to be anxious to avoid
the necessity of an extra session, but
he is determined that his present leg
islative program shall not be wrecked
by filibusters or needless delay.

cotton in the event the commission al
lows the proposed rates of the South
orn Pacific company. By confining
their shipments to the compressed ar
ticle, the growers point out, they would
be practically at the mercy of the sin
gle compress company, which operates
at Calexico, and which, without com
petition, could fix its own price, which,
as now proposed, is cents higher on
the hundredweight than that carged in
the East. Under the new rates the
shippers also would be burdened with
concentration charges, which would be
cents or more on the hundred pounds.
With the shipping rate at 85 cents
per 100 pounds on compressed cotton,
together with compressing charges at
10 cents, the price fixed by the Ca
lexico compress and an additional cost
of 5 cents for concentration, the min
imum cost to the shipper to move his
cotton would be $1.05-10 cents in
excess of the present rate.
The growers also complain that they
would be compelled, under the pro-
posed revision, to assume responsible
ties, which now rest with the rail
roads, especially on cotton exported
at the ports of Galveston and New
Orleans. Steamship companies will
not accept cotton unless condensed to
q density of 221a pounds to the cubic
foot. If compressed at Calexico, the
cotton, upon reaching its destination,
is found to be faulty as to compress
ing, it will require re-compressing,
which additional expense must be as
sumed by the shipper, and if not COM
pressed to the required density the
railroads may charge higher freight
rate. Under the old plan the railroads
attended to all details of compressing.

Fears for Steamer.

Valdez, Jan. 9.-Grave fears are
felt for the safety of sixty passengers
and sailors on the mail steamer Dora,
which left Kodiak for Seward, a run
of thirty hours, January 3, and which
has not been reported. A terrific
storm is reported off Cook Inlet. The
ship was wooden vessel, owned by
the Alaska Steamship Company.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-01-09

1t was made clear by representa-
tives of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, who were called to the witness
stand, that the compressing in transit
plan had proved entirely unsatisfac-
tory to the carriers in the West, and,
further, that the carriers would rather
not accept uncompressed cotton. As
to this point, growers agree that if
the proposed rates are put in effect
the carriers will not be burdened with
the uncompressed article, owing to the
differential of 80 cents.
