FEW SENATORS
HAND IN THEIR
RESIGNATIONS
Senator Spooner Is
an Exception
Instances Are Recorded Where Men
Elected to Congress Have Re.
tired with Fortunes All
but Gone
Special Correspondence of Th« Herald.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 9.—
The resignation of Senator Spooner of
Wisconsin calls attention to how few
men sever their connection with that
body during their terms. It l.« nothing
unusual for a senator to decline a
re-election, but seldom do they retire
¦with any part of their term to their
credit.
There have been a number of such
instances, however, in the past, prob
ably more before the Civil war than
since. This is partly explained that
the position of a senator is growing
more and more attractive from the
standpoint of prestige and Influence.
Its membership Increases very slowly,
while the population of the country,
Its wealth and business are Increasing
by leaps and bounds. The two sen
ators from Now York, for example,
represent about as many people as the
entire senate at Its organization.
The resignations at the outbreak of
the. Civil war were the most dramatic.
Next In public Interest were those of
Conkling and Platt. Since then only
few senators have resigned, except to
assume other political offices. Sher
man, Blalne, Carlisle and others re
signed to enter cabinets; Fairbanks re
signed to become vice president. For
mer Senator Clark of Montana once
resigned, but as he was serving under
an appointment, the legality of which
was questioned, that scarcely counts.
Why Burton Resigned
Former Senator Burton of Kansas
resigned, but he was under indictment.
It is probable the late Senator Mitchell
of Oregon would also have resigned,
but leath claimed him first.
' Of all the motives by which senators
have been actuated In resigning it is
not now recalled that any save Spoon
er have bluntly stated that they did
so to increase their income. That
resignations are not more frequent on
this account speaks well for the mem
bership of the senate, for many of
them are poor men.
Scarcely one could not increase his
income were he inclined, either by re
turning to private life or by accepting
employment while in the senate. Yet
the senator who becomes wealthy while
in that bod/ is the rare exception.
On the house Bide It will be remem
bered that both Speaker Reed and
Speaker Henderson resigned to return
to the practice of law. Reed was not
losing much, if anything, as speaker,
but he was accumulating nothing.
During Henderson's four years as
speaker he spent probably $10,000 a
year more than his salary, which made
large inroads on his modest fortune. I
Both of them died within a few years
after their retirement and neither left
much of an estate.
A question of interest at this time
Is whether former Senator Spooner will
join the "lobby" In Washington. One
would think that it would be regarded
as perfectly reputable for a former
senator or an ex-representative to
practice before congress. Take Mr.
Spooner's case. He has been a dis
tinguished senator for years. He has
delved deeply into many national prob
lems and has elucidated- them before
his associates and the country at large.
Just why he. should be debarred from
appearing before committees of con
gress and arguing a case in behalf of
his clients, merely because he was
paid to do so, does not appear any
more than that a judce, resigning
from the bench, should be forbidden
to practice law In the courts. ¦' •
Yet, If Mr. Spooner should attempt
to do so. he will be subjected to all
manner of unfavorable criticism,
termed a "lobbyist" and be classed
•with former Senator Jones, former
Senator Thurston, former Senator
Faulkner and others, who represent
special Interests here from time to
time.
In this connection it Is somewhat
remarkable that those who object to
"lobbying" and encourage sensational
writers to inflame the country against
them never distinguish between those
•who attempt to influence legislation in
an open and reputable manner and
those who pursue other tactics, ex
cept to attack the reputable men and
let the others go free. For example,
Mr. Faulkner never made any secret
of the fact that he was employed by
certain railroads when the railroad rate
bill was under consideration. He ap
peared before committees, filed briefs,
presented and examined witnesses,
gave out Interviews and compiled
statements which were presented to
members of congress and to the public
In general.
. On the other hand Judge Cowan of
Texas, quite as able an attorney as
Mr. Faulkner, pursued the same course
as did Mr. E. P. Bacon of Milwaukee),
¦who represented hay and grain ship
pers as Judge Cowan did the cattle
men.
Faulkner Denounced
. Yet Senator Faulkner la called a
"lobbyist" and denounced in unmeas
ured terms, while no unfavorable ref
erence Is made to the others. It would
seem a fair proposition that the rail
roads should be permitted to present
their case to the congress and to the
public In the same manner as the ship
pers of grain and cattle.
There la practically no subject of
importance before congress that is not
supported by some interests and op
posed by others. The pure food law
was headed by the department of agri
culture and supported by associations
in all parts of the country, appealing
to the press In the most sensational
manner by extravagant charges against
. the . manufacturers of food products.
The latter had millions of doll In
vested In their business and they did
not wish to sit idly by while profes
sional agitators and sensation mongers
drove congress to extreme legislation.
Consequently they appeared in person
and by attorneys; the subject was
threihed out for ttome years before
'congressional' committees, and in the
ami v, pretty fair law was enacted.
The manufacturers did not succeed in
'protecting their interests as fully an
they wished, nor did the agitator* get
all they asked for, but no manufac
turer U going to be put out of bunlnens
by: the law if he chooses to comply
with it* terms, and the agitation cur
tulnly produced come Rood results.
Some manufacturers hoped that by
means of a purs food law, worded to
suit thorn, they would obtain certain
trade advantages over their competi
tors, and fell In behind the advocates
of the bill, yet It would be grossly
unfair to charge that all who favored
the bill wore actuated by selfish mo
tives. Similarly few manufacturers op
posed pure food legislation In Itself,
but merely wished to protect them
selves against unjust leslslatlon.
There Is no question but that sooner
or later congress will be compelled to
take some action to separate the sheep
from the goatS by providing that those
Who undertake to Influence legislation
shall do so openly, and state whom
they represent.
• • •
The recent activities of E. H. Harrl
man in this city and elsewhere, par
ticularly 111 the line of making state
ments to the newspapers, has caused
much speculation as to the future re
lations between the government and
the railroads.
Some years ago Senator Newlands
of Nevada championed the proposition
that if the government undertook to
regulate rates It should also regulate
dividends. it Is evident that the rail
road question has not been settled.
ln fact It Is simply opening up. The
safety of the country demands fewer
grade crossings and the extension and
perfection of the block signal system.
The business Interests demand more
engines and cars, more tracks and
lncreased terminal facilities. Legisla
tures are passing 2-cent rate laws and
the railroads are retaliating by cutting
off excursions and commutation tickets.
Wall street Investors generally are
looking for Increased dividends. The
railroads themselves, meaning the men
actually engaged In operating the
roads, are caught between the two
conflicting Interests, and In addition
are met with demands from their em
ployes for more pay and reduced hours.
Altogether It would seem that if
congress Is to regulate rates and hours
of employes, compel Improvements In
block signals and other facilities It
ought to take cognizance of dividends.
Certainly improvements can be made
only if new stocks or bonds are issued
which means Increased fixed charges,
or from the current earnings. It seems
unfair for congress to regulate that
source of Income and then permit the
stock jobbers to determine what should
bc done with it. Senator Newlands
advocated that the dividends should
bc limited to a fixed and fair amount
and the remainer expended In improve
ments. "When the income became more
than was necessary rates were to be
reduced.
Apparently Mr. Harrlman, If he can
read between the lines, has become
convinced that unless closer and more
friendly relations exist between the
government and the railroads the lat
ter will eventually be swallowed by
the former. And it seems that as long
as the finances of the roads are to be
Juggled about by Wall street specula
tors the traveling and shipping public
will have to suffer either In the matter
of rates or facilities.

LITTLE CHURCH
IS DEDICATED
New Emmanuel German Evangelical
Institution Is One of the Small
est and Prettiest In
the City
vii' Emmanuel German Evangelical
church, Moneta avenue and Maple
ivenue, that was dedicated yesterday
morning, is one of the smallest and
prettiest churches In Los Angeles. It
is a small brick building, purchased
last January at the time of the organ
ization of the church. It was origin
ally a dwelling house of five rooms,
built in mission style, with two un
pretentious towers, the whole looking
on the outside more like a neatly-con
structed church building than a resi
dence.
At the service yesterday Rev. Otto
Satzinger, the pastor, presided. Rev,
J . G. Mangold, member of the mission
board of the coast, of Woodland,
preached the dedicatory sermon in
German, taking his text from Psalms,
2 6-8. Rev. F. Reiser of Pasadena as-
Blsted In the service.
The service was opened with a violin
solo with organ accompaniment. The
church choir and male . quartet fur
nisher, music.
The church is the result of the efforts
of Rev. -Mr. Satzinger, a portion of the
German church organized five years
ago on Washington street and others.
This church was organized to better
accommodate the German-speaking
people of that portion of the city. It
consists of about thirty families, with
a Sunday school. Ladles' Aid and
Young People's societies.
Rev. Mr. Satzinger was Bent to Los
Angeles from Nebraska five years ago
by the home mission board of evan
gelical synod of North America to or
ganize a church which resulted in the
organization of St. Paul's German
church on Washington street. A good
church building was built there three
years •,<•. mv Mr. iM'tilng' i wan
the pastor of that church until last
January, when he organized the new
church. The mother church la now bo
m« supplied.
The new church has a seating ca
pacity of 125 and will be enlarged as
necessity demands. The property Is
valued at about $4500 and la clear from
lncumbrancei.
LOS ANGELES HERALDj MONDAY MORNTNQ. MARCH 18. 1907.
THE RAILROADS
TEHUANTEPEC ROAD
A POTENT FACTOR
PROPOSAL PENDING TO DIVERT
PACIFIC FLEET
Isthmian Line Attracts Business from
Panama and Transcontinental
Roads— News of the Rail.
road World
The potent Influence of the Tehuante
pee railroad as a factor In the trans
continental freight situation Is shown
In the proposal to divert a portion of
the Pacific Mall fleet from the Panama
s' incllCO run to connect with the
Tphuantppec road at Sallna Cruz.
This plan, according to advices re
ceived In Los Angeles, is now being
considered by E. H. Harrlman and
General Manager Schwerln of the Pa
cific Mall.
The Tehuantepec railroad has already
made traffic arrangements with the
Hawaiian-American steamship line, and
heavy cargoes nre being delivered at
CoatsacolCOl and Sallna Cruz, to be
transhipped. The Tehuantepec road, In
fact, is in fill operation as a carrier
of transcontinental freight and Is able
to offer such rates as to attract busi
ness both from the Panama railroad
and from the American transconti
nental lines.
If Judiciously handled, it Is probable
that It will prove to be one of the most
profitable pieces of railroad in the
world, as the Panama road has been,
so financiers predict.
Since the United States became the
owner of the Panama railroad. it has
been evident that the Tehuantepec rail
road. If properly equipped and man
aged, railroad men say, would succeed
to much of the business that has been
going via Panama. The United States
cannot well operate Its railroad as a
competitor of the Tehuantepec road.
The Panama road is still a common
carrier, and will handle all business
offered until the competition of the
canal causes its abandonment except
for local uses. But it cannot be ex
pected to reach out for business as a
private concern would be free to do.
The Tehuantepec road, on the other
hand. Is being operated purely as a
money-making institution, with un
usual powers by reason of being an
instrument of the Mexican government
itself.
The report that the Pacific Mall is
about to make a traffic arrangement
with the railroad is sufficient to indi
cate the importance of the new thor
oughfare across the continent.
REACH CRISIS IN MAIL CARS
Railroad Officials Will See Postmaster
General
The big mail-carrying railroads have
decided to make an appeal to the new
postmaster general against the rule
which the former Incumbent of the posi
tion promulgated requiring a change
In the methods of weighing the malls
A meeting was held In Chicago by the
superintendents of malls for nearly all
the heavy mail-carryingr roads, and It
was the general opinion that the new
order, if carried out, would make It
Impossible for the railroads to furnish
the present service.
The new order requires that the
average weight of mall carried, the ]
basis on which the total pay is com
puttd, shall be determined by dividing ,
total weight carried for several days by (
seven Instead of six, as at present.
It has been agreed that a committee J
3hall be appointed, made up of one rep- t
resentative of the three strongest .
western and two of the strongest '
eastern roads, and that this committee j
shall lay the question before the post
master general. J
If the attempt does not succeed then i
it will be necessary for the railroads ,
to say whether they will bo compelled ,
to curtail the fast mail service. 1
Any attempt on the part of a single
road or of two or three roads to do so 1
will result in general diversion of the
malla to railroads which accepted the
ruling. Therefore, if there is to be any
attempt to curtail the mail service, it is |
admitted, it must be by a concerted
move by all of the main mail routes.
SPOKANE MAKES A HARD FIGHT
Freight Discrimination Case Is Set for '
Monday
The complaint of the city of Spokane
of discrimination in freight rates from
the eastern cities as compared with
rates to the Pacific coast cities will bo
beard by the interstate commerce com
mission today in the United States
I'uurt in Chicago.
A plea is made for the same rates :
from Chicago and New York to i
Spokane as apply to the Pacific coast
terminals because Spokane is 400 miles
nearer Now York than the coant ter
minals. The coast Jobber can buy in
New Fork or Chicago at the sarm
fivight rate, but Spokane must pay a
higher rate from New York than from
Chicago.
The Hepburn bill, as interpreted by
the commission, Will have a tendency
to make many changes in existing
tariffs, ami after wrestling with the
problem for more than a week the
Transcontinental association adjourned
until a committee of the western lines
goes to Washington to talk with the
commission and gptu an understanding
as to what the association can do In re
conciling the two tariffs.
If one class tariff Is abolished and
the other Is extended to cover the
entire west Spokane's complaint will
not have any basis as to class rates.
The case promises to be fought hard
as Chicago will Interpose an objection
to making the rate to Spokane the same
from both New York and Chicago us it
will increase the competition of the
local commercial Interests.

OLO DIRECTORY
IS CURIOUS BOOK
SHOWS PAST HISTORY OF
EARLY SETTLERS
Issued Thirty Years Ago, When Los
Angeles Had Only Seven Thou.
sand Inhao. cants and Was
a Pueblo
One of the most remarkable compari
sons that could possibly be made to
show the stupendous growth of Los
Angeles during the past twenty-flve or
thirty years is the directory Issued here
In 1878, containing the names of all the
residents of the city and Its suburbs at
Lhat time within its pages.
At that date Los Angeles boasted of
ibout 7000 inhabitants, and this direc
tory was the first real city directory
Issued. It was printed by the Mirror
Printing, Ruling and Binding house,
the type being of a coarse and crude
character as Is generally used In print
ing primers for the use of little chil
dren, and the advertisements printed
within its leaves are all set forth In
wood type of the most ancient date.
The book Is priceless. It Is probably
the only one of its kind left In the city,
m d the owner, Sam Kutz, clerk of de
partment 8 of the superior court, would
not part with it for money.
Compares Two Directories
Kutz had the book on display last
week alongside the recent directory is
sued by the city. The first dozen leaves
3 f the new directory would more than
:over every name In this first little
Jirectory, and beside the great red
Dook the little brown one appears like
i patent medicine advertisement.
If come of the eminently stylish
roung persons of the present could only
ok back through the pages of this
ittle book and see what their ancestors
were doing not more than thirty years
igo they might not be quite so boast
'ul of their lineage, for some very well
mown names appear in the book with
•ather humble titles, such as dray
irlver, wine and liquor dealer, pipe
ayer and similar occupations.
Many names of streets have been
changed since that period. Jefferson
street at that time was in the neigh
jorhood of Allso, while long Spanish
lames were on the street signs.
Were Easy.Going Days
Los Angeles in those days did not
mow whether it was a village or a
meblo, and what was more It didn't
are. In the afternoon everyone took
heir regu'ar siesta, and things were
o quiet that the mosquitoes whirling
bout the sleeping cholos on Main
treet could be heard picking their teeth
.fter partaking of chill flavored diet.
Those were the days before the plug
tats. None had ever been seen in Los
Vnga les. One man in town had a dress
uit, and he was arrested on suspicion
he first time he appeared in it because
ho town marshal had seen the villain
if a one-night stand show wear a slmi
ar costume some nights before.
There were three Chinese laundries
lere at that time, and they all closed
>ecause of lack of business. In the
lirectory the inhabitants of the beauti
ul and glorious land of flowers and
mnshine are referred to by the pet
•pithets used by the natives. For in
itance, in the case of one particular
ndivldual unknown to the census
aken, "Jackass" Jennings went down
>n the book as Jackass Jennings, and
!very one was satisfied. There were
ibout thirty men in town who could
>oast of a middle initial to their names.
Most of them were simply known as
3 111 or Pete or Sam or Jim, and every
me knew who they were.
Some of the Features
There were three ministers in Los
Angeles at that time and close to 150
vine merchants, and yet the town man
iged to eke out a meager existence.
Sam Kutz, the owner of the little
)ook, is noted in it as Sam Kutz, car
lenter, residence Boyle Heights. That
vas as close as the directory managed
: o get.
The Daily Herald was then, as now,
he greatest newspaper of the city, and
!'»■ Lynch was editor.
B. P. Coulter, now Rev. B. F. Coulter,
)wner of the Coulter Dry Goods com
pany, was then one of the proprietors
) f the firm of Harper & Coulter, hard
ivare.
S . Nordllnger was tinkering Jewelry
tor the Indian squaws at No. 3 Com
mercial street, and Judge B. M. Widney
nub then a young attorney.
The town had one capitalist, as shown
by the directory. His name was V.
Hoover. He had two suits of storo
clothes and stayed at the Pico house.
Glp Allen was listed as being In the
:attle business. The book records the
.following entry: "O. H. Barrese, head
:heese and bologna, residence 27 Center
street." ■.-.;.■
Judge Blcknell at that time was a
partner to Senator Stephen White, and
they had offices In the Temple block.
Whitewash fop Every One
In those days they did not have to be
bothered about clearing up the city

THIRTY THOUSAND
EDUCATORS COMING
CONVENTION WILL BREAK ALL
RECORDS
Railroad* Offer Special Rates, and
Hotels Are Making Every Effort
to Make Pedagogues'
Stay Happy
Thirty thousand pedagogues and their
friends are expected to come to Los
Angeles In July to attend the next an
nual session of the National Educa
tional association. The records made
by all past conventions wll bo com
pletely outclassed by the monster meet
lng,IIng, both In numbers attending and In
the program offered. Every teacher
In the country Who lays any claims to
being a pedagogue or educator belongs
to the National Educational associa
tion, and reports from tne east seem
to show that every member who pos
sibly can will be present at the great
meeting which will be heiu in this city
from July 8 to 13.
The coming convention will offer
three-fold Inducements to the educators.
In the first place, It will give them an
opportunity to meet with the brightest
minds of th« country and It will give
them a liberal education In pedagogy
by association with the brightest lights
of their profession. Then, too^ the
question of the summer vacation will
be settled; for a California trip will
combine all the pleasures of a mountain
Journey, a seashore vacation and a rail
road ride, for one fare. Finally, and
this Is by no means the least point in
Its favor, the visitors will have an op
portunity to see California. With many
easterners, to see the Golden state is
a life ambition, and the teachers will
have a chance to satisfy this ambition
for almost half the cost of a trip ordi
narily.
Special Rates Offered
All over the country the railroads are
making special rates to the City of An
gels, and indications point to one of the
largest conventions the national asso
ciation has ever held. The rates west
to Chicago have not yet been fixed, nor
have the rates within this state; but
from Chicago to California the railroads
have made a special rate of one fare
plus $2 for the round trip. It is thought
that the other comapnios will not fall
behind in the liberality of their offers.
The last former meeting of the asso
ciation was held at Asbury Park two
years ago. At that time it was decided
to meet in San Francisco in 1906, but
the disaster that wrecked the northern
part of the state decided the associa
tion officials against coming west, and,
as it was too late to arrange for another
meeting place, no convention was held.
Although Los Angeles had no legal or
moral claim to the association this year,
local boomers succeeded In having the
pedagogues decide In favor of this city,
and that notwithstanding the fact that
Philadelphia made a hard fight to se
cure the desired meeting.
May Use Auditorium
The largest auditorium in the city
will be needed to hold the assembly
which will gather hero in July. At
present plans are being made to hold
the meetings in the Auditorium theater
unless some larger hall can be secured
by July. The smaller halls of the city
will be used to hold committee meet
ings, of which there will be many.
One of the most important questions
tc be brought up will be the adoption of
a new charter, which was recently
granted the association by congress.
Up to the present time the association
has been working under an old charter
which. it is said, is utterly inadequate
Cor the needs of the body. The new
charter will prevent individual "boss-
Ism" to a great extent, and local educa
tors say it is for this reason that sev
eral educators will oppose it. Miss
Margaret Haley, head of the Chicago
Teachers' union, Is one of the strongest
opponents of the new charter, and It is
expected that she will make a deter
mined fight against Its adoption. It is
whispered In local educational circles
that Miss Haley has ambitions to rule
the association, and the new charter
will interfere with her pet plans.
Pro-.iinent Men to Speak
The program has not yet been com
pleted, but the list of speakers already
decided upon promises much for the suc
cess of the convention. , The number
Includes Dr. Nathan Shaefer, president
of the association and superintendent
of Pennsylvania schools; Dr. Irwln
Shephard, Wlnona, T'inn., secretary of
the association; Superintendent Max
well of New York city. Superintendent
Cooley of Chicago, Superintendent
Straton Brooks of >oston, Superintend
ent J. H. Van Sickle of Baltimore, Su
perintendent Brumbach of Philadelphia,
Superintendent Ellson of Cleveland,
President Judson oi the University of
Chicago, United States Commissioner of
Education Elmer A. Brown and former
Commissioner W. T. Harris. President
Wheeler of the state university will
also be present. Dr. Jordan of Stan
ford will be out of the state at the time.
Dr. E. C. Moore, city superintendent
of schools, Is working early and late,
together with representatives from the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce and
the hotel men, to arrange everything for
the accommodation and comfort of the
coming visitors.
The- hotel men are arranging for the
material comforts of the guests at the
same time the superintendent's office
la working for their mental feasts. One
of the principal points which will be
settled during the coming week is the
location of the main headquarters of
the convention. This will We at one of
the downtown hotels, but which one
shall house them is the question. Bids
will be handed In by all the larger
downtown houses. Central location will
be taken Into consideration, as well as
rates, in awarding the main headquar
ters to a hotel. ;. ' • .■• .
Question of Headquarters
In addition to the national headquar
ters «ach state will also have its indi
vidual headquarters. As many states
as possible will be placed In the same
hotel with the main officials, but many
others will be scattered around among
the other hostelrles.
8. J. Whltmore of the Alexandria,
who is at the head of the hotel men's
committee, said yesterday: "We will
award the main headquarters during
the coming week and plans will be
pushed forward rapidly. We haven't
had a meeting yet, but Intend to go to
work In earnest next week."
Dr. Moore Maid yesterday: "We have
been asked not to make too much of
the social feature and we won't. Of
course, there will be some special fea
ture* arranged, but we haven't decided
