"It gives EM urent and real pleas
■ura to im here today," »aid CoL
Roosevelt In his address to the mis
sion students. "1 doul)t whether, In
any nglon of the earth It would he
possible to see a more striking In- j
stance of genuine progrwa nude In 1
tin substitution of civilisation for j
savagery than has been recorded herei
In the last twelve years. I feel that
you own a peculiar duty to the gnv- j
eminent under which you live B
peculiar duty in the direction of do
liik your best to make the present
conditions l;i*t. It Is incumbent upon
every decenl cltlien of the Soudaa to
Uphold conditions as they now exist,
and ace thai there la no relapse. Your
)•'■ i 'Mutts must DC siven in thin as
■ matter of pride and not merely as
an obligation."
HI exhorted his lmnrors to become:
the best tyi f citizen, not content'
to be merely good servants of the i
government. Th< y could do moat forj
their creed by so behaving :is to im
pres.i tiieir neighbors that the <"hris
tlan faith wan second to none.
Col. Rooeevijll spoke of the work of I
the American missions, especially the |
medical work. wMeh he considered the

highly Of the Atiieric.-m RliMlO
and more highly of the missionary's
wife who accompanies him to foreign
llelds.
"Always," wild Ihn former president,
"the American is a pretty good fel
low, but bis wifo Is a better fellow
still."
At the conclusion of the meeting,
the students cheered Col Roosevelt
again and sang college songs. Then
the party returned to the palace.
A farewell lunch will be given by
Col. Roosevelt tomorrow to the mem

Miss Ethel were accompanied by Baron
slat in, the inspector general of Egypt,

One object of the trip was to witness
the Twelfth Soudanese on parade.
The Roosevelt! reached Omdurman
at 7:30 o'clock and found awaiting
them on the pier a group of British
officers, an escort of Soudanese sol
diers and a large number of Arabs In
robes of many colors. Col. Roosevelt
shook hands all around.
•A camel corps was In waiting, but
Col. and Mrs. Roosevelt, who had their
experiences with the "ships of the des
ert"- the day before, elected to travel '
today In a dog cart. Others of their
immediate party mounted horses and
donkeys. . Mounted police officers ac- '
companied the cavalcade, which was
headed by four members of the camel
corps, followers of the mahdl, brilliant- ]
ly garbed In gold-faced scarlet coats
and turbans and trousers snowy white.
Four camel riders, formed the rear
guard.
Hears Scraps of.History
As, the procession moved Slatln Pa
sha pointed out the points of interest
and ; related scraps of history with
which each spot was associated.
The party first visited the arsenal,
■where there are many relics of the
khalifa. These Interested Col. Roose
velt. Then a visit was made to the !
house where Baron Slatin was Incar- ]
cerated following his capture by the
mahdists in 1884 and held a prisoner for ,
thirteen years. '
From the mosque the party proceeded
to the parade ground in the square;
formed by the khalifa's house, his ha- !
rem and his tomb. Here a battalion of i
Twelfth Soudanese . Infantry paraded
and executed a series of maneuvers.
Mr." Roosevelt complimented Command- I
er Hutchinson in the splendid appear- j
ance of his men. i.
As the regiment marched by him in |
columns of fours, the band playing a:
smart march. Col. Roosevelt standing |
at salute, exclaimed:
■ "This Is the finest and most Inter- I
esting sight that I have seen either to- I
day or yesterday. It Is an Instructive
lesson.' 1 '
The party had refreshments with Fa
they Walder, who for ten years was a
captive of the mahdl. A brief stop was
made at the khalifa's house, now occu
pied by H. H. Asquith, son of the Brit
ish premier.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
WHEN the present owners of The Herald took control of the
paper less than three years ago, it was publishing an average
of twelve pages- daily and less than fifty pages on Sunday
at the subscription price of 65 cents per' month. As times were
hard, and it appeared to the proprietors of The Herald that the
subscription price asked was out of proportion to the size of the
paper published, the price was reduced to 40 cents per month.
This price was continued during the dull times of 1908 and to the
present, although the size of the daily paper has been increased
to sixteen pages and that of the Sunday paper to seventy-two
pages and over. At the present price of white paper the subscrip
tion price of 40 cents per month does not nearly pay for the paper
used in producing The Herald.
The Herald at the present time prints regularly every day more
separate news items than any other paper published in the city,
and frequently double the number of separate items published by
one of the other morning papers. It also prints the full Associated
Press dispatches, together with special dispatches on matters of
sufficient importance to the intelligent reading public to demand
special treatment.
The proprietors of The Herald are arranging to add consid
erably to its news service, and in order to do so the news gather
ing force of the paper by local staff and telegraph must be in
creased. They also expect to increase the size of the paper from
time to time as its rapidly growing business and circulation justi
fies. There will also be some early changes in the typographical
dress of the paper which we believe our readersi will find a great
improvement. With the present, and proposed further increase in
size of the paper, and the increased expenditure planned in order
to make it more worthy of the support of its readers, the proprie
tors of The Herald feel that at 50 cents per month they will be of
fering better value to their subscribers than is offered by any
other morning paper published in the city of Los Angeles;
'AT THIS RATE THE NEWSPAPER READERS OF THE
CITY CAN HAVE A MORNING AND AN AFTERNOON
PAPER FOR WHAT IT WOULD COST THEM TO TAKE
EITHER ONE OF THE OTHER MORNING PAPERS.
For the foregoing reasons the subscription price of The Her
ald will be increased to 50 cents per month on and after the first
day of April next. '
We want to assure our readers that we will give them more
than the extra 10 cents added to the subscription price of the
paper in improvements which we proposje to make.

ALDRICH DEFENDS
RAILROAD BILL IN
HEATED DEBATE
Name of President Taft Is
Bandied About by Ex
cited Senators
BAILEY HURLS DEFI
Declares One Provision
Designed to Reverse
Supreme Court
[Associated 7'rr"n]
WASHINGTON, March 16.—1n tho
sharpest debate yet provoked in
thf Mnata on the admlniHtra
tlon railroad bill, bitter criticisms of
the supporters of the bill in trying to
put tho measure through without
amendment elicited from Senator Al
drleh an admission that the hill had
been amended.
This itatstnent was mMdo during tho
second (l;iy of Benator Cummins'
li attacking- the bill, but not until
after the friends of the measure had
been accused of trying to hide behind
the president and behind tho fact that
Hie bill had been drafted at his di
rection.
Senator Cummins contended that the
pro' Islon in the bill referring? to traf
fic agreements would render them
legal without their submission to tho
Interstate commerce commission. Ho
aMerted Mien, had been conspicuous
silence In the committee on this sub
ject. Thereupon Mr. Crawford turned
to Senator Aldrieh, who is a member
of the committee on Interstate rum
mecer, and questioned him on his in
terpretation of the meaning of the
provision.
Bailey Makes Charge
"The whole truth," interrupted Mr.
Bailey, before Mr. Aldrlch could reply,
"is that the intention of the provision
for the repeal of the anti-trust law
Is to reverse the supreme court of the
United Btates. The effect and pur
pose Is to take the railroads from
under the supreme court."
Mr. Aldrioh denied the intimation of
the Texas senator, and from this col
loquy arose a general discussion as
to whether It had been the original in
tention to include the railroads in the
Sherman anti-trust bill. During this
discussion Mr. Aldrlch said that no
senator who had voted for the Sher
man anti-trust law had the slightest
Idea that the railroads were embraced
within its terms.
"But all the same you am now try-
Ing to take them out of It," reiterated
Mr. Bailey.
"I beg pardon." responded Mr. Al
drlch, "but that Is not true. The
senator from Texas Is mistaken as to
the purpose of the proposed law, as
Is the senator from lowa."
Mr. Cummins would not admit that
he could be mistaken, for he declared
the purpose of the law was written
broadly on Its face. There could be
no doubt that It repealed the law on
traffic acrreements, he said.
Elkins Defends Measure
Senator Elkins undertook to refute
this contention by reading tho pro
vision regarding the agreements, and
In so doing broadly asserted that every
one must know the railroads violate
the law every day. This assertion was
challenged by several senators, but
the West Virginian held to his posi
tion and asked:
"Now, why embarrass the rallroeds?"
"True, true," responded Mr. Cum
mins half under his breath.
Mr. Elkins contended that even
though agreements were authorized by
the pending bill, the commission still
would have control of rates and even
more comprehensive control than
under the present law.
"It is not the agreement that Is pow
erful," he said, "but the rates them
selves, and so long as the commis
sion controls the rates it is In com
mand of the situation."
Mr. Aldrlch referred to a supposed al
liance between the "insurgent" llepub-

LINES AVERTED
CONCESSIONS ARE MADE BY
BOTH SIDES
Wage Increase on Bllding Scale Is

tern —Agreement Is to
Be Ratified
NEW YORK, March 16.—The New
York Central & Hudson River railroad
and Its controlled lines, including the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, the
Michigan Central, the Boston & Albany
and the Big Four, reached a tacit un
derstanding tonight after an all-day
conference with the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers that there would
be no strike.
In the negotiations for an Increase
in wages and for changes in tho work
ing schedule, both sides made liberal
concession! and when the conference
ended both sides were in tho best of
humor and joined in a statement that
there was not the least likelihood of
a strike.
Thirty-two members of the unions
were in the conference with General
Manager Smith and Assistant Man
agers Bradford of Buffalo and Crowley
of Albany.
The terms on which they agreed Will
now be submitted to President W. C.
Rrown of the Central and to the board
of directors, and it is understood the
terms will be ratilied.
The result of the conference, It was
said, would mean a minimum increase
of 3 per cent to the highest paid train
men and conductors and a maximum
of 16 per cent to the lowest paid. Also,
many changes are to be made in the
working schedule.
Demands for a new working schedule
and Increased pay soon will be made
Jointly by conductor! and trainmen on
the Erie and on the Central New Jer
sey. The Pennsylvania is already pay
ing more than the Uniform demands
of the men, and that system will prob
ably escape negotiations.
President W. G. Lee of the trainmen
and President A. B. Garretson of the
conductors will go to New Haven in
a day or two to canvass the Strike vote
now being taken on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford.
300,000 MINERS ARE
WAITING fOR REPORT
CINCINNATI, March 16.—After eight
days of argument, the crisis in the
fight between the soft coal operators
and miners of the central competitive
district will be readied tomorrow
morning.
This is the time set for -he subcom
mittee to report to the scale commit
tee. This latter body will then report
to the special convention of the United
Mine Workers, and this organization
will decide from the report whether
there shall be a strike of 800,000 miners.
There is a decided feeling of appre
hension on Ijoth sides tonight. At the
convention of the minors today Preji-
Went Lewis intimated the Increase in
wages was the ono demand on which
the miners would never yield.
The meeting of the sab-scale com
mittee today resulted in the usual dis
agreement.
ELKHART, Ind., March 16.—Thous
sands of tons of coal are being stored
in the local yards of the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railroad, to be
used in event of a general strike in
the coal fields.
Local officials say the company in
tends to store approximately 175,000
tons of coal here.

■ ■
(Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, March 16.—Although
the Republican organization of the
house took radical measures today to
prevent repetition of yesterday's de
feat at the hands of the Democratic
insurgent Republican combination on
the question of maintenance of an au
tomobile for the .speaker, the allies
scored another victory over the regu
lars even more decisive than that of
yesterday..
On an appeal from a decision by
Speaker Cannon in the matter of
precedence for a joint resolution, the
house voted against the speaker, 163
to 111. In addition to the full Demo
cratic vote and the thirty insurgents
who have always stood against the
speaker, a dozen other Republicans,
heretofore regular, voted, to turn down
the ruling of the chair.
Just before taking the vote Speaker
Cannon addressed the house at length,
giving his reasons for the ruling and
"showing something of indifference as
to what action the house might take.
He had Just ruled that the constitu
tional • nature of a resolution offered
by Representative Crumpacker on the
coming census gave it precedence over
the house rule establishing- "calendar
Wednesday," which was one of the
features of the Fitzgerald rules.
In turning down the speaker of the
house, "who had no more nor less au
thority than any speaker that has pre
ceded him," commented Mr. Cannon,
"the real question „ was whether the
speaker does, like a colossus, bestride
the world."

'I SAY IT TO YOUR FACE,' EX
CLAIMS ALEXANDER
Former Park Superintendent Voices
Loud Complaint and Elicit* Hot
Answer from Executive,
Who Suddenly Appears
"You «re a liar and I toll it to your
face," said Mayor Alexander to John
G. Morley, former park superintendent,
yesterday afternoon.
Mayor Alexander is well advanced lit
years and Morley is a young man, atill
in his thirties, but Morley made no
effort to resent the mayor's plain, un
mistakable language.
It is .seldom that the mayor uses such
strong talk, but he. seemed to feel that
it was justilieii yesterday afternoon.
Morley, who abdicated his office last
Saturday, after he had been given no-
tk-e by the park commission to get
out by April 1, went yesterday to the
office of the park department, which is
in the commission room at the city
hall. He was talking with C. T. Her
bert, the new park secretary, and com
plaining that he had been badly used
by the mayor and the park commis
sion when the mayor stepped out of
his private office into the commission
room. When ho saw the mayor Mor
ley raised his voice and continued his
remarks, evidently with the intention
that the mayor should overhear his
complaints. The mayor did not un
derstand what Morley was saying- and
walking up to him asked sharply:
"What was that?"
"I say you did not give me a fair
chance and you did not treat me fair,"
said Morley.
The mayor's eyes blazed and he
shook his long forefinger in Morley's
{ace and be said, tensely:
•You are a liar and I say so to your
face!"
"All right," answered Morley, meek
ly, as he started for the door.

court, Mrs. Sunderland getting the bulk
of valuable real estate In this city

ANDREW CARNEGIE, multi-mll
lionaire steel king, author, scien
tist and philanthropist, revealed
phases of his character yesterday un
dreamed of by the average American.
From 10:30 in the. morning, when ha
received a half-dozen newspaper men.
In his apartments at the Hotel Ray
mond, Pasadena, until 4:30 in the af
ternoon, when he returned from a re
markable reception tendered by the
Annandale Golf club, San Rafael
heights, he underwent an almost con
tinuous bombardment of cameras ana
questions, end spoke more freely than
for many years concerning himself,
his achievements, his religious an.i po
litical opinions, his life objects ana
the problems of humanity.
57 Millionaires There
The reception tendered by the An
nandale Golf club was remarkable In
several particulars. Of the 283 guests
who were present there were fifty
seven millionaires and multi-million
aires, whoso combined fortunes, it was
conservatively estimated, would exceed
$800,000,000. Yet the combined fortunes
Of fifty-six of these men would amount
to but a small portion of the wealth
of the fifty-seventh—Andrew Carnegie.
It was typically a Scotch luncheon.
Hailed no longer as "the lard o
Skit)-," but rather as "the laird o
Annandale," Mr. Carnegie arrived at
the clubhouse at noon, while two
Scotch pipers in native costumes re
ceived him with "auld familiar airs
on their bagpipes, and some of the
most famous capitalists in the south
land gathered at the south entrance to
receive him. Immediately on his ar
rival one of the reception ™m££
pinned a sprig of real Sctoch hether
on his lapel, and the aged financier
alighted from the auto to pose for the
newspaper photographers. Accom
panyC him In J. D Hook „...auto
