STARTS A ROW. ~WITH SANTA FE {San Diego Chamber of Com- merce Says Railroad Is Dis- criminating Against City | TOURISTS COMPLAINING j(‘orporation Is Said to Have Favored Los An- geles With Ticket Rates A e 2 SAN DIEGO, April 7.—The Chamber of Commerce In this city has made public the result of an investigation which is al- leged to reveal that the Santa Fe Ralil- road is discriminating against San Diego in favor of Los Angeles and San Fran- cisco In selling tickets in the East to the Pacific Coast. The report is accompanied by affidavits of tourists, who it is alleged have been compelled to pay extra for tickets to this city from Los Angeles, while it is declared that other roads in the East sell tickets through to San Diego at the same price as to Los An- geles or San Francisco. LOS ANGELES, April 7.—Referring to charges made by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce and by certain individuals that the Santa Fe Railroad was discrim- inating against San Diego in th¢ matter of passenger rates from the East, Assist- ant General Passenger Traffic Manager John G. Byrne of that road today made the following statement: “The charge that the Santa Fe is dis- criminating against San Diego has been made a number of times and has been disproved. It disproves itself, because it is to our interest to foster San Diego and its interests and advance them whenever we can do 50, which is our policy, regard- less of ‘what may be said by individuals. Tickets are sold to San Diego by all agents of the Santa Fe at the same rates as to Los Angeles and San Franelsco.” RAILROAD PAYS DISPUTED TAXES |Chicago and Northwestern Line First to Obey Deci- sion of Michigan Courts T I B LANSING, Mich,, April 7.—The Chi- eago and Northwestern vesterday paid into the Michigan State treasury $640,- 3 for back taxes. This is the first | road to pay up its taxes under the re- cent decision of the United States Su- preme Court upholding the Michigan ad valorem tax law of 1901. The rail- | roads, while contesting the new ad | valorem law, continued paying their taxes each year under the old specific tax law. They now have to pay the difference, and pay in addition a penalty lof 1 per cent per month for the delay in complying with the terms of the new law. Chicago and Northwestern amounted to $106,140. These heavy payments of back taxes from the railroads will go into the primary school fund. It is es- timated that the aggregate amount which will be received by the city of Detroit alone will be $500,000, and schools throughout the State will re- ceive their due proportion. For paying the 1905 taxes the rail- roads have the remainder of April be- fore the 1 per cent a month penalty will run against them. TFor the pre- vious years eince the ad valorem law went into effect the penalty is already running. 1 | j | S Mg EASTER : & DISPLAY| Fashionable Wearing Apparel for Ladies, Misses and Children HE tendency this season is decidedly toward novelties, and in our authoritative collection you will find a large variety of the best Exceptionally attractive line Ladies’ Ladies’ Ladies’ Ladies’ Ladies’ Ladies’ Misses’ Misses’ European and domestic productions. of Confirmation Dresses. $5, $6, $15, $20, $25 $22.50, $25 Although the styles are distinctive and the materials the most reliable, our prices are reasonable.

SACRAMENTO, April 7.—Superin- tendent of Police Bailey and Detective E. D. Grady of Richmond, Ind., who are taking back for trial John Locke and Harry Harris, wanted for grand larceny, discovered a plot while in this city to liberate the men. The party is accompanied by Mrs. Locke, who has been in telegraphic communication with her husband's friends and members of his alleged gang of rallway-car plun- derers. he officers intercepted a tele- gram addl'¢ssed to Mrs. Locke assenting to a plan to take the prisoners from them at a certain point in the Rocky Mountains, the location of which the officers would not disclose. Bailey at once telegraphed to Omaha for half a dozen armed men to agcom- pany the train through the Rockies to repel any attack that may be contem- | piated. o Locke and Harris are alleged to. be members of a gang which for several years has been robbing freight cars in Indiana, Illinois and, as far west as Coloraio. DU —— | DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER { IS IN INDIFFERENT HEALTH | King Edward Devotes Much Time to Her at Biarrits, Where She Is Recuperating. BIARRITZ, April 7.—Friends of Con- suelo, Duchess of Manchester, are much concerned about her health, which con- tinues far from satisfactory. For all that she is about a good deal at Biar- ritz, where her stay at the Villa Du- chatel will depend entirely on the prog- ress she makes. During King Edward's visit it was no uncommon sight to find him walking besides the Duchess’ bath chair, both enjoying to their heart's content conversations about the ways of the world. The King is an Inveter- ate gossip, though never an ill-natured one, and Consuelo - invariably knows everything which is worth knowing about mutual friends, and tells her news with that dash of piquant humor which has helped to make her in the royal circle the most popular American at this side of the Atlantic. Every day during his stay the King made a point | of seeing his old friend. By the way, | it was her Grace (at King Edward’s re- loauest) who selected at the hotel the | suite of rooms he occupied which were not those usually Inhabited by royal- ties. Of late his Majesty has shown a | preference for rooms on the fourth or | fitth floors, because he believes the air | in such a position is purer than on a lower stage. When King Edward ar- rived he found his apartments had been | beautifully decorated with flowers by the Duchess, while quantities of pho- tographs, placed also by hér Grace, {gave him a silent welcome. But she | went one better and had included in the | royal dinner menu on the night of his arrival several of the King’s favorite dishes, notably tripe cooked according | to the recipe which Mrs. George West, !in the days when she was Lady Ran- dolph Churchill, introduced to his Ma- jesty. Of course it did not figure as tripe in the roval bill of fare. People in Blarritz have been fancy- ing that because it is Lent Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester, wears purple so much. They are evidently not aware that violet is and always has been her favorite color. She is a wise woman of her generation, for there is no tone in which she 10o0ks so well. On her arrival at Biarritz she found awaiting her nearly a dozen purple hats, which had been sent on to her from Paris. Some were small and chic, entirely composed of her favorite flower, the violet, while others were picturesque in beaver or fine chip, trimmed with long ostrich plumes, and the {nevitable Dbig purple chiffon vell, which the Duchess is so fond of twisting around her neck. —_——e————— LADY BUTLER’S DEBUTANTE DAUGHTER MUCH ADMIRED Bears a Striking Resemblance to Her Beautiful Cousin, Lady Beat- rice Pole Carew. LONDON, April 7.—Lady Arthur But- | ler's debutante daughter is greatly ad- mired. She bears a striking resem- blance to her beautiful cousin, Beatrice Pole Carew, who, ever since her debut, has reigned as one of the loveliest women here or in Ireland. Not only is | Miss Butler pretty, she is wonderfully smart’ and ‘‘cheeky” for so young a girl. Owing to the belated courts col sequent on the King and Queen's mourning, she will not make her official bow until the end of May or the be- ginning of June. She has had a good preliminary canter, however, at country house dances and also in town, and be- sides she has had the almost unique distinction of having been presented in private to their Majesties. The King was especially “taken” by this spright- ly daughter of an American mother, her conversation and ‘“views” amusing him immensely. After he had been talking to her for a lit..e time he said: “But I must not keep you too long. I am only an old fogy &nd the boys will be vexed. Tell me when you are bored.” “Oh, it's ‘boys’ who bore me,” she said, “they are so much in earnest. And they will try to make love—it's so stupid.” The conversation continued for some time and King Edward, amazed at the girl's exceedingly matured remarks, turned suddenly and sald to her, “In the name of all that's wonderful, how old are you?" “Well, your with an aggrieved air, “now if you like.” Majesty,” she answered, I am bored A tiny, chocolate coated tonmic laxa- tive tablet, that gives VIGOR and health to the STOMACH, LIVER and BOWELS, thereby curing— Sick Headaches, Biliousness, Sallow Complexion, Torpid Liver, Dyspepsla, Jaundice, Indigestion, Heartburn, Loss of Abpetite, Pimples, Sour Stomach, 2ziness, Nausea, Foul Breath.

LONDON, April 7.—Education by means of the bath tub is the latest scheme of the wealthy Anglo American, Joseph Fels. And so strongly does Fels belleve in this idea that he has just backed his faith by an offer of $25,000 to the London County Councll for providing what he describes as an “experimental health center” at one of the day schools in London. Whether or not the Council will accept this offer, it is impossible to say. Mean- while, however, it will be recalled that Joseph ‘Fels is the Quaker City philan- | thropist who already has done so much for the poor of this country by means of nis farm colonies, proposed and adopt- ed a few years aj “Without health,” asked Fels in the course of an interview yesterday, “‘what good is education to the ordinary child? I would propose to establish new depart- ments in connection with all schools; where children would be taught the rules of physical training and development. In a word, the classroom of first importance would be the bathroom. “Personal gleanliness has an immense influence onffhe well-being, mentally as well as phy! 1ly, of every child. Before any child should be allowed to attend school, it should be carefully examined by medical experts, and then trained in accordance with its individual constitu- tion. At the health center I would pro- pose to train each child in a remecial not make all do exactly the same thing. “Would your ‘health center’ be limited to bathing?"* was asked. “Not at all,” replied Fels. “The centers would include every form of physical health development. Cnll- dren would be taugh the proper meeh- ods of breathing, voice production, the care of the teeth, nostrils, palate, ears, hair, skin and so fortn—everything would, in fact, be done that concerns the proper health development of the child. “The proposed scheme would include a careful system of weighing and measur- ing each child on {ts first entrance into school, this work being done under the | supervision of competent medical men; and I would insist on it that physical de- velopment should be made as important as mental education. As things are now, children are sent to school even without sufficient food; and their individual health | 1s altogether neglected. . It is true that they undergo certaln forms of physical arill, but the constitution of each particular chil which, cases, may be whoT unsuited for this form of physical drill. ‘But could such an elaborate system worked practically?” Fels was asked. “Certainly,” ‘he ried out at Bradford, under Miss Marga- ret McMillan, who, I might say, originated the idea. It was at Bradford that the, jdea of making the bathroom a class- ' | room was first put into operation; and | the progress in physical development at | this school has been greater than any- where else that I know of. I invited Miss ‘McMillan to draw up a plan applicable to London and I sent her memorandum to the London County Council, with an of- fer to build myself the first center. “Miss McMillan worked ten yvears be- fore persuaded the Bradford School this does not take into u:cmmt] plied, “I have seen | something similar to what I speok of car- | Board to build a bathing room in connec- tion with the school, the first one costing $3500. Finally, the board spent $350,000 on baths for its children, and with the best possible results.” e Reasonable secrecy about your own affairs is all right—but don’t keep an aching tooth a seeret from the dentist; or your first tinge of rheumatism a se- cret from the docter; or, your desire to sell or to rent your house a secret from the want ad. readers of this paper. —_——— FAVOR PLANING MILL.—Property owners yesterday petitioned the Board of Supervisors for the retention of the Jumber yard and planing mill at 1306 Valencia street, against which Mrs. M.
