'BACK HOME' SCRAMBLERS
BESIEGE THE SANTA FE
Many Take Advantage of Low
ered Rates to Eastern Points
The flr»t of the summer excursion
rates eastward went into effect yester
day, and there was a big rush "back
home" of many residents of Los An-
Keies and nearby cities, who took ad
vantage of the lowered rates to ro
vlsli the old friends and see the old
haunts. The Santa Ke was compelled
t.i add two extra sleeping cars to the
tourist flyer and an extra Pullman also
was added to the California Limited,
which vent east last night.
Tho excursion rate tickets will he on
sale for three days, ending tomorrow
night, after which it is stated by the
railroad officials it win be some time
before the low rates again are effec
tive. The rate until tomorrow night
is $60 for the round trip to Missouri
river points, with corresponding re
ductions to points further eastward.
There was a scramble yesterday for
Pullman berths, ami railroad men say
the space is not all sold out, but every
one :isks for a lower berth In tho cen
ter of the car, and these! have been
spoken lor weeks in advance. For this
reason those who apply now have to
he contented with upper berths.
BUMP! BANG! BIFF! BING!

Woman Hit Him Twice in Block
Little Harry Boydon, a messenger

many weeks by reckless drivers in tho
public, highways until he decided to
tile suit in Judge Summerfleld's court
yesterday against tho last offender
for J299 to soothe his injured feeling!
and aching bones to say nothing of a
skinned nose and blackened eye. Harry
told tho court attaches yesterday that
he had visited tho receiving hospital
ho many times in the past six weeks,
that he was ashamed to show up any
More for treatment.
Mrs. Jane Hansley Is defendant In
the suit. The messenger boy In his

What Women Are Doing
MRS. FRANK AMBLER PAT
TISON, president of the New
Jersey Federation of Women's
Clubs, addressed herself to the subject
of rare suicide the, other day, and In
the course of her remarks declared
M.ilthun to bo a better prophet than
our own Theodore. Malthus, you may
remember, was the learned gentleman
who predicted that In time the world
would become overpopulated; that old
Mother Terra Flrma, like the ancient
dame who lived In a shoe, would
sooner or later find her family out
growing their domicile. of course,
there's still a little room. We haven't
got so crowded that we're shoving
each other off the edge Into the Pacific
ocean, but then we're young yet, you
see. And by the same token, neither
are there so few of us that there are
Jobs enough to go 'round.
Mrs. Pattlson, however, Isn't wor
rying over the Malthuslan theory any
more than she Is over the Rooseveltlan
preflchment. She says the chances of
r»ce suicide or of overpopulation are
both exceedingly remote when com
pared with tho Imminent peril of race
degeneration, and the adda that It
would be far better for the state, In
very ninny Instances, should husband
and wife bo brought to a realization of
the fact thiit they are not fitted
physically or mentally to become
parentH.
That's tho nub of Mrs. Pattison's
argument. Poor stock, she says, should
not lie perpetuated. Instead of urg
ing upon all families-the patriotic duty
of bringing as many children as pos
sible Into tho world, she would Impress
upon them tho wisdom of sterility In
all caßoa where one or both of the
prospective parents exhibit a blemish
which might naturally be expected to
communicate itself to their offspring.
Ibsen, you may recall, presented a
similar belief In "Ghosts."
Mrs. Amelia Barr, the novelist, mi
guest of honor of the Now York Fed
eration of Women's Clubs one day last
week. She was introduced by Mrs.
Belle do Rivera, who seemingly is
wholly devoid of tact, for in making
her presentation speech Mrs. Rivera
violated the most sacred canon of
feminine amity. She told Mrs. Barr's
age—told it right out loud —and her
Victim smiled through the ordeal,
smiled as thouKh there was no resent
ment In her for this spoliation of wo
man's dearest secret.
However, there were extenuating
circumstances. Mrs. Barr, you see,
doesn't have to keep her years under a
bushel. She is not in the splendid,
■earetlve forties, or the flirtatious fif
ties either. She's soventy-nlne. That's
why she smiled and that's why she
nodded assent to Mrs. Rivera's dis
closure.
"Yes," she said, "it Is true. I was
horn In the reign of William IV, and
was going to school when Queen Vic
toria was crowned."
Mrs. Barr Isn't writing much now.
She doesn't have to. She doesn't look
like the old-fashionrd "literary wo
man" either. She la Just a gracious,
kindly, old woman, with a spirit of
abundant charity and Rood will, alert
mentally and still vigorous. More
power to her.

Through the death of King Edward,
Mrs. George Keppel has become the
queen dowager of London society. Mrs.
Koppel, you see, was a great favorite
of the dead king, and of his wife.
Their friendliness made her the most
powerful woman socially in the entire
British empire, so powerful indeed that
■he never felt It necessary to put by
popularity against the day of another
reign. Therefore it la that Mrs. Kep
lii 1 no longer sways the scepter of
social royalty.
The new king never liked her, and
the new queen hasn't spoke to her for
ten years. And now that the king is
dead, long live the king, Mrs. Koppel's
Bocial power has vanished as utterly
as though it never had existed. Who
will bo her successor? Well, time
alone can tell. There will be an inter
regnum, you know, until the court
shall have emerged from its period of
mourning.

Mrs. Arthur Ingersoll Hoe, nee Perry,
seems to be a remarkable young wo
man. Her wedding in Washington last
month was the culmination of a com
mon sense courtship in which a ra
tional Cupid played an important part.
.Mr. Hoe is heir to the printing press
millions. Miss Perry is the daughter
of a "human skeleton" and a palmist.
Her father, the man of prominent
bones, deserted his family Boon after
Evelyn was born and tho mother was
compelled to bring up two children as
best she could. She marie a good job
of It, too, for Evelyn's brother Is now

an army officer in the Philippines,
and Evelyn has Just become Mrs. Hoe.
Evelyn Perry ml a chorus? girl with
the Roger* Brothers when young Hoe
flrot met her. lit; was smitten at once
and he wanted her to run away with
him and bo married Immediately. That
was four years ago, but Dvelyn de
clined to run. She knew a game worth
two of that and, confessing that she
returned young Hoe's passion, she pro
posed that she should go to school to
prepare herself to become his wife.
The, young man objected, but the
young woman stood firm. She had
known but little schooling, she said,
and she never would marry into a
family where her Ignorance might
erect against her a barrier of hostility.
So she had her way. .She went to
school and she took a finishing course
at. Miss Hazon's fashionable Institu
tion at Pelham Manor.
The wedding was solemnized In
Washington, with the full consent and
approval of all members of the Hoe
family. They were, all there, too, and
they welcomed the young woman with
open arms. That's what she gained
by her common sense. She's Just
twenty-two now and her husband Is
only a few years her senior. Seem
ingly they have a long and happy life
ahead of thorn. But It might have
been different if the daughter of the
"human skeleton" and the reader of
palms had been a different sort of a
sin.

Mrs. Charles Tlrrell, wife of one of
the Massachusetts representatives in
the national house, believes that wom
en are making a mistake In seeking
suffrage. She says:
"My reasoim lor not desiring to vote
are so numerous and to mci so satisfy
ing that it seems an embarrassment of
riches to produce them. I cannot con
ceive why any woman wants to vote.
I realize that at once the objection will
lie raised by unmarried women or Wid
ows that, having a husband and son
to see to my personal affairs, I have
no need of a vote and cannot sympa
thize or even judge correctly about the
desires of those less fortunately placed.
However, I can say that I Inherited
from my father an income, and single
and married, I have attended to my
financial affairs, and I have been able
to do this without even experiencing
any need of a vote. Usually the con
tention of women is that they desire to
Vote in order that they may have
equal rights with men on the question
of taxation and such issues as directly
concern them in their home environ
ment. It may be that the citizens of
'some locality need the women to keep
them straight on the taxation, temper
ance, sanitation and other subjects dis
cussed until they are threadbare, but I
have never found that the men of my
community are pining for such direc
tion.
"Then, and for me the most serious
objection, is that 1 do not care for the
responsibility of the ballot. I have too
much responsibility as it is. I should
like to shift the burden, Instead of add
in X to it. The right to vote Is a re
■ponalblllty. Though I am not pre
pared to say that all men meet this
squarely or conscientiously, neither
could I or any other woman give the
guarantee that introducing another fac
tor into the case will mend matters In
that regard. I believe that women are
too emotional, too easily swayed by
personal feelings, to receive the right
Of suffrage—lor many years, at least.
" \s the philosophy of the contention
appeals to me, since men have accord
ing to the natural law, the burden of
supporting the family, it follows that
woman Is best occupied in atending to
strictly femining occupations—those
which" conduct- to tho welfare of the
family, which, in the end, means the
individual and the community. Even
when women have the burden of sup
porting the family themselves, I do not
see that their obligation in this matter
is changee". The stress and strain or
politics is not going to lighten the bur
den for the working women, rather the
contrary. But womanly thrift and do
mestic accomplishments will aid In
every contingency."
"I brought that dog whip down
across his face," were the thrilling
words of Mabel Hackney, describing
some suffrage experience in London,
to an audience at a suffrage meeting
in New York recently. "I had raised
the whip to summon a cab, and at that
signal a man came out of the doorway
and made a very unpleasant remark
to me. I brought that whip down
across his face. It wasn't ladylike, per
haps, but it seemed necessary. I fully
expected that he would call an officer
and give me in charge, but he just
slunk away." It Is not known just
what the whipping has to do with
suffrage., but it was a part of the
speech, and Miss Hackney made the
speech.
Empress Eugenic, widow of Na
poleon, a solitary figure living in the
memories of the past, quietly observed
her eighty-fourth birthday May 5 at
Farnborough, near London. Days of
anguish and of ceaseless mourning
have left their indelible traces. But
her features are still exquisite, and in
them still lingers the renowned smile
of other days. And although for
tw.-nty-flve years and more Eugenic
Iris led the most sequestered life or
lives in England in her Villa 'Cyrnos,
at her Riviera home in southern
France, yachting unobtrusively on the
Mediterranean, quite withdrawn from
the world.
The souvenirs of her past sho has
carried to Farnsborough, opposite the
church she built, in the crypt of which
lie the remains of hor husband and
son. Hrere are bits of wreckage from
the Tullleries, portraits of the unfor
tunate prince in a glass case like a
shrine and paintings of herself.
During the civil war Mrs. V. C. Far
rls of Lancaster, Ky., was the Florence
Nightingale of the hospitals of tho
Union army in that section of the
war belt. In that time Mrs. Farrls
was independent in means and served
without pay. Now. in her old age, she
has fallen on hard times. Not long ago
site had a olaim before the court of
claims at Washington for $1000. It
was disallowed on a technicality, and
it was brought before the senate com
mittee It was decided there that it
was not possibly legally for the gov
ernment to pay the money, but Sen
ator Smoot of Utah whs so impressed
with the heroism of tho woman that
"Just leave it to me. I will get that
claim paid in a few minutes."
Thereupon, Mr. Smoot put down his
name for $100, and started out the sub
scription list. In less than half an
hour he had the thousand.

Mere Men
Senator Purcell of North Dakota has
been a member of tho senate for i
little more than three months, in
that time he has become we]] ac
quainted with nearly all of the .sena
tors, and has gained the respect of
his colleagues to a degree that does
imt often follow the admission of a
new member. Purcell is an old-time
Dakota man, having gone to that
country in tho territorial days. He
belongs to the coterie of men who
fought It through In Dakota, those
men who stood through all the trials
and tribulations of frontier life and
won out in tho end. Purcell hap
pened to mention to Senator Carter
of Montana the fact that he had never
seen the president, and the Montana
man said:
"See here, I'll take you up and in
troduce you. You ought to meet him."
The result was that the president
and the North Dakota senator had a
very pleasant chat. Purcell will be
returned to the senate by the legisla
ture this fall, that Is, If North Da
kota elects a Democratic legislature.
The minister of Russian finance.
Kokowzeff, is one of tho ablest finan
ciers in Europe, who enjoys in an al
together exceptional degree the con
fidence of the men of haute finance in
the various foreign capitals. He de
clares he will bo able to provide for
the expenditure of $600,000,000, which
the nation i* facing for the recon
struction of the navy and the reor
ganization of the army, without ask
ing for any loans, by means of a very
considerable tax on alcohol and by the
raising of the price of all that portion
thereof that is produced and sold by
tin state under the latter's rights of
monopoly.
Representative Poindexter of Wash
ington, who is running for thfi senate,
is much cheered by the news from his
state. At least one of the opposition
papers concedes that Potndexter will
have a plurality In the primary. His
opponents are said to be bent on beat-
Ing him In the legislature, regardless
of the primary. Poindexter is an in
surgent Republican and is making the
race for the senate on a platform In
which he pledges himself to progres
sive politics.
Senator Dolliver'B speech on the oc
casion of the reception of the statue
of Frederick H., Pierpont in the sen
ate was much coTnmented upon as one
of the most eloquent efforts heard In
congress for a long time. Senator Dol
liver was in a position to talk most
entertainingly upon Pierpont, the
Union war governor of Vermont, for,
while Dolllver ia an lowan, he was
horn in West Virginia and reared
there. He is intimately acquainted
with the. state and all its traditions.
and with many of its people. His
father, known as Father Dolllver, was
for years a circuit rider In the moun
tains of West Virgina and went the
rounds of his circuit on horseback,
in the old-fashioned way for years
before the civil war and through the
period of the great struggle. He was
one of the most eloquent speakers of
his time, preached against slavery in
the regions where slaves abounded,
and preached death to strong drink in
the regions where the distilleries were.
The result was that he was often in
peril of his life, but, being a man of
great physical strength, as well as
spiritual, he was always able to ward
off his enemies.
Father Dolllver and Pierpont were
strong friends. "Many nights my
father has gone to sleep In the Pier
pont home after joining with the fam
ily In their prayers," said Senator Dol-
Under the circumstances, when Sen
ator Dolllver talked to the senate about
Pierpont as one of the saints of Cod.
When he quoted from the words of the
psalmist, when he recited the tradi
tional differences between West \ ir
trinla and the old dominion, reaching
back long before the days of the war,
and when he paid a tribute to the
mountaineers of West Virginia, he was
speaking of things which the early ex
periences of boyhood had served to
bring close to his heart.
THREE-DOLLAR FINE FOR
FAILING TO WATER HORSE
Leaving his horse hitched in the hot
sun for eleven hours without a drink
cost A. CummlngTß, mechanician for the
I^ee Motor Car company, Twelfth and
Main streets, 13 yesterday, when he
was fined that amount by Police Judge
Chambers on a charge of cruelty to
animals.
Cummings drove the horse from
Hollywood Tuesday morning, reaching
his place of employment at 7 o clock
in tho morning. He hitched the horse
on the Kunny side of the street and
left it there until 6 o'clock in the
evening when it was noticed by per
sons employed in tho same locality
who notified police headquarters.
He fed the horse some oats at noon,
but did not give him a drink during
the entire day. As the patrolman was
unhitching the horse, preparatory to
tiikins him to a watering trough and
giving at a drink, Cummings appeared
and was arrested.

Miss B. Eugenia Cunningham and
Miss lonian Beesley, two yoUng women
who aid the Loomls brothers in con
ducting the Angelus hotel, were out
machine riding the. other afternon, and
they had an adventure. They are not,
however, roliis around and tilling
everyone about it.
They started out in a nice, big ma
chine with a handsome driver, and, not
having been to Long Beach recently.
decided to pay that resort a visit.
Things went fine until they arrived
within the city limits of Long Beach.
Then they discovered that they had
been traveling too fust. Fact is, a
motor cop had to tell them that they
were. Perfectly innocent, you know—
didn't realize that they were running
at such a high speed—awfuly sorry—
and all that line of talk.
The cop, hard hearted man, tnok them
before a police magistrate. However,
before they got there the driver man
aged to tell them not to give their
real names.
"Give the same name I do," he
warned the two young women.
The judge asked the driver his real
name.
"I. Hurry." replied the driver with
out a quiver.
"And yours?" continued his honor,
turning to Miss Beesley.
"Ina Hurry," she replied.
"Now, what is yours?" he asked Miss
Cunningham.
The poor girl could not think of a
good hurry name, so she substituted
something just as good.
"Mine's Gillian Russell," she an
swered meekly.
"Speaking of superstition," said Fred
Wood of the Hayward yesterday, after
he had finished his race horse story,
"reminds me of a funny thing that oc
curred right here last Sunday. It was
"Mothers' day," you know, and every
one, was supposed to wear a carnation
during the day.
"I hnd a lot of these flowers on hand,
so I handed one out to each of the
bell boys on my watch and told him
to wear it. They all did—that is, all
except one—Charley Richardson.
"Soon after I gave him hla I noticed
that he did not have it on.
" 'Where's your carnation, Charley?'
I asked.
" 'Oh, X guess I must have lost it,'
he replied.
"I gave him another, hut about five
minutes later it was gone, too. I'll bet
I gave that boy a dozen carnations
during that watch and he got rid of
every (me somehow. Finally I began
to wonder where they were going and
why he would not wear them. Then I
remembered.
"Before Charley came to the Hay
ward he was a bookmaker. Now, If
you know anything about the races
you know that a flower is considered
the biggest Jonah of them all at the
race track. That was what was the
matter with Charley. Ho still believes
that a flower will get his goat if he
