SLEEPER RATE CUT
MEETS OPPOSITION
State Officials Say Reduction Not
Enough; Railroads, That
It Is Too Much
COAST SCHEDULE AFFECTED

Pullman Company Offers Lower
Fares to End Contest Before
Commerce Commission
(Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Dec. I.—An offer of the
Pullman company to reduce the rates
charged for upper berths in sleeping
ears 20 per cent where lower berths
were priced at more than .50, to
make the price of uppers $1.26 as a
minimum and reduce some lower berth
rates, was opposed before the interstate
commerce commission here today by
the attorney generals of four states
and by two railroads.
The Pullman offer left unchanged
Pullmnn seat rates and was to become
effective upon approval by the com
mission.
Opposition to the plan was offered
on the part of the railroads on the
allegation that they would have to
stand part of the brunt of the lessened
price and by the attorney generals on
the claim that the reduction was not
sufficient.
Commissioners Lane and Clark,
therefore, were confronted with an of
fer of voluntary reduction of rates tor
upper berths (also a number of ma
terial reductions on lower berths)
Which the railroads said was too much
and the state officials called too small.
The whole matter came in a com
bining of all complaints against
Sleeper rates in one hearing by the
commission, following an order from
the federal circuit court that previous
cuts ordered by the commission were
not justified.
The Pullman company reduction
schedule included the following cuts on
lower berth rates, upon which, as on
remaining existing rates, the 80 per
cent charge for uppers was proposed to
be applied, the effort being, according
to the company's representatives, to
charge an average of 6 mills a mile:
Chicago to New York, unchanged.
New York to Tampa, 50 cents.
Poughkeepsie to Elkhart and South
Bend, Ind., $1.
New York to St. Augustine, Fla., or
Savannah, Qa., $1.
New York to East St. Louis. 111., 75
cents.
New rates proposed hy the company
include these:
St. Paul or Minneapolis to Seattle
and Pacific coast points, $11.
New York to New Orleans, 18.
Chicago to San Francisco, $13.
The former Minnesota-Pacific coast
rate was $12; that from Chicago to
San Francisco, $14.
The commission will hear further ar
guments and if held advisable will re
ceive . evidence in the specific cases
combined In one hearing.
Legal representatives of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, wnlle express
ing no active opposition today, de
clared they were prepared to combat
the Pullman company In Its offer to
the members of the commission.

EASTERN SYSTEMS
AVOID RATE FIGHT
First-Class Passenger Fare Be
tween New York and Chi
cago to Be $20
CHICAGO, Dec. I.—First-class pas
senger fares between Chicago and New
York over the Michigan Central and
the Panhandle route.-: will be $20 after
January 15, according to advices re
ceived here late today, subsequent to
a secret meeting in New York between
representative, of those roads and of
the Brie, Wabash and Grand Trunk.
This lays to rest the specter of
slashed rates and unprofitable compe
tition. The action by the two routes,
which heretofore have enjoyed a dif
ferential rate of $19 for the Michigan
Central and $18 on the Panhandle, fol
lowed open threats of another rate war
Instigated by the Erie, Wabash and
Grand Trunk, such as the Erie used
two years ago to straighten out the
complicated emigrant rats situation.
"Specifically," said an official of one
of the roads Involved, "the Michigan
Central and Panhandle were entitled
to the privilege of lower fares in our
opinion, so long as their service was
curtailed by ferries. When their serv
ice «as as, efficient as the roads charg
ing $20 the three so-called 'insurgents'
claimed they ought to have the added
inducement of low tare removed. This,
our telegrams say. was agreed to. It
merely removes what we claimed was
an unfair advantage. Today's action
means there will be no rate war."
ROADS, MENACED BY EXTREME
REDUCTION IN FARES, YIELD
Ultimatum Threatened $8 Cut in
Gotham-Chicago Rate
NEW YORK, Dec. I.—Final afttton
on New York-to-Chicago passenger
rates was taken today by the roads
Interested at a conference in the rooms
of the Trunk Dine association.
The Erie, Grand Trunk and the
Wabash served notice that unless the
Pennsylvania and the New York Cen
tral Abandoned the differential rates on
the Panhandle and the Michigan Cen
tral routes a rate war would be de
clared.
According to Information here the
threatened cut rate on first-class pas
senger traffic to Chicago was as low
as $S; second class as low as $6.
In' addition the rate to Boston was
to be out and new tariffs were to be
tiled forthwith, unless an adjustment
were reached. In the face of such an
ultimatum the Pennsylvania and New
York Central decided to yield, and
after the conference adjourned an
nounced the rate had been made uni
form.

LOS ANGELES HERALD FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2. 1910.
8-HOUR LAW BARS
DREADNAUGHT BIDS
Only One Company Willing to Un
dertake Construction of
Monster Battleship
WASHINGTON, IV.-. I.—Absence of
competition marked the opening of
bids at the navy department today for
the construction of one of the great
est dreadnaught. of tin- United States
navy, a first-class battleship of 27.
--000 tons displacement, of two-fleet col
liers and of machinery for a second
new battleship which wit be built at
a government navy yard,
The apathy of the ship-building in
terests is attributed by the department
to the action of congress at its last
session in stipulating that the work
must lie done under the eight-hour
law-.
The department furthermore was un
willing to Interpret definitely the ex
tent to which, within the meaning of
the. naval hill, the eight-hour law
would apply to work, believing that
many of its phases were subjects for
the determination, of tlie courts. This,
it is believed, also had a deferent ef
6fect on prospective bidders.
Tho great battleship, which will be
more powerful than any other afloat
under the American Hag, probably will
be built by the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock company of
Newport News, Va. That company
was the only bidder for the vessel,
resenting four proposals, differing be
cause of the machinery to be in
stalled. These ran from $5,760,000 to
$5,830,000. The maximum amount
authorized by congress for this battle
ship was $6,0*00,000.
There probably was no successful
bidder for the two steel fleet colliers,
with a carrying capacity of 12,500
tons. '
!DR. COOK HAS DIFFICULT
TIME SELLING 'CONFESSION'
Explorer Came to America in, No

NEW YORK, Dec. I.—Dr. Frederick
; A. Cook, who now confesses that he
does not know whether he reached the
! north pole, had no easy task in dispos
ing of what he describes as "The Story
of Cook's Trip to the North Pole," ac
. cording to reports reaching New York
from London. The Brooklyn explorer,
j It is stated, is living in seclusion in a
boarding house in Bloomsbury, a Lon
don suburb. •
It appears that for weeks Dr. Cook,
eager to return to his home in Brook
lyn, sought a literary agency to sell his
latest story to London magazine pub
lishers. One thousand dollars, it was
said, was asked for the story.
It was learned today that Dr. Cook
was in the United States early in No
vember to conclude the arrangements
for the publication of his story. He
came by way of Canada and met the
publishers at Troy, N. Y.

SOU JAPANESE YELL
UNTIL THEY'RE HOARSE
(Continued from rage One)
ciflc coast in the warmth and sincer
ity of the reception tendered.
Although early in the morning: mem
bers of the Japanese colony In-Southern
California began arriving at the Pacific
Electric boat landing, before the fleet
arrived and immediately on its being
sighted, the little brown men and wom
en swarmed into the launches provided
and went out to the big ships.
Utterly careless of how they got
there—just so they did the Japanese
climbed from boat to boat, taking
chances of a. ducking in the chilly wa
ters of the bay, In order to be among
the first to pay tribute to the mikado's
fleet and officers.
A - few minutes after they anchored
the cruisers were alive with visitors,
and every Pacific Electric train—even
the steam train—added more and more
until it was nearly impossible to.move
about on the decks of the vessels. It
is estimated that fully 5000 Japanese
living in Southern California went
aboard the ships during the afternoon.
BEAM SCARS OF BATTLE
Both cruisers of the fleet are modern
fighting machines, the Asama, the ad
miral's flagship, having seen service
during the war between Russia and
Japan.
This vessel's plates show dents mado
by shells tired from Russian guns.
Above each of these shell marks on the
vessel are inscriptions, cut in the solid
steel plates in Japanese, telling the his
tory of that particular dent. The vis
itors yesterday found much pleasure in
inspecting these battle scars. /
Admiral Yashlro, like his flagship, has
seen much service, having won a name
for himself while captain of the Asama
in the battle of the sea of Japan, when
with the vessel's afterdeck shot away
by shells he kept his ship in the fight
on learning that it was still water
tight. He also was engaged In several
other naval battles and in all conducted
himself with the utmost bravery. For
this reason, as well as because he Is in
command of his imperial majesty's
fleet, the admiral will be especially fet
ed during his stay here by the local
Nipponese colony.
"This is a beautiful country—one of
Which I have heard much," said Admi
ral Yashiro in his cabin after the first
formalities were over. "I am extreme
ly glad the young men in training un
der my charge can have an opportunity
to see California and have an oppor
tunity to see what their fellow country
men are doing here. It Is a most grat
ifying reception you have given us, and
I thank you for the men and for my
self."
TO REPEAT PROGRAM
The officers and men of the fleet,
with the exception of a few, remained
on board yesterday and last evening. i
This morning one-half of them will be
taken in special cars from San Pedro
to Ascot park, where an all day garden |
party has been arranged for their en
tertainment. Those unable, on account
of their duties, to attend the affair to
day will attend tomorrow, the same
program being presented each day.
The ships have been in San Francis
co and on leaving that port proceeded
down the coast under slow speed. They
are on their way to South America.
Among the Japanese who extended a
welcome to Admiral Yashlro and his
men were the Rev. T. Komuro, presi
dent of -the Japanese association; D.
Nino, secretary; the Rev. K. Inasana,
pastor of the Congregational mission;
G. Yusada, editor of the Japanese-
American; I. Oura, contracting agent
for the Salt Lake road, and R. Tsucbl
va, a Japanese merchant. Today Mat
suzo Magal, Japanese consul general at
San Francisco, will arrive here to take
part in the entertainment of the officers
and men.
The chamber of commecre will have
charge of the entertainment planned
for the visitors for next Tuesday. A
reception committee, consisting of Wal
ter Raymond, acting president of the
chamber; George E. Rittinger and H.
Z. Osborne, visited the flagship yester
day and welcomed Admiral Yashiio
and the officers and men of the ships.
Tuesday afternoon a special car will
bring the officers of the cruisers to Los
Angeles. Here they will enter auto
mobiles and a ride about the city, to
Pasadena and through several orange
groves will follow.
