Kxit the steamship’s pass!
The new shipping act has kicked it
into the discard where the railroad
pass landed long ago.
Seattle steamship companies this
season are unable to give free trans
portation or reduced rates to anyone,
says the Times of last Sunday. Here
tofore certain persons, for one rea
son or another, have received pass
es or reduced rates to California or to
Alaska or to other places served lo
Seattle vessels. Under the old shin
ping customs, these persons were en
titled to passes or reduced rates, but
now they have to hand over real mon
ey for their tickets exactly like any
other traveler.
The steamship companies have no:.
alternative. The act went into effect
some time ago, but until the last day 1
or two the companies had little or no
explaining to do. Now, with the open
ing of the Alaska season, they have
to break the news to those who for
!<
merly received passes, this being the <
period when the issuance of passes
would have twgun under the old con
ditions.
Art Is Quoted.
As a gentle hint to all concerned,
the Pacific Steamship company is
sending out cards quoting clauses
from the United States shipping act
and also from the California Public
Utilities act. The cards are the idea
of President H. F. Alexander. The
United States shipping act provides i J
fine of not to exceed $5,000 for any vi
loation of the clauses in question, -»’/•
that giving of passes or reducing rates S ■
rates would prove almost as risky as (<
bootlegging. :'
“Why is the Pacific .Steamship com- 1
pany sending out the cards?” repeated
Manager A. F. Haines this morning.
'Well, to express the matter simply,
we don’t want any of our friends to
think we are four-flushing when we
refuse them passes. Tiie law is there
ind we have to obey it.”
Must Treat Ail Alike.
Under the new federal law. if a
-teamship companx issued a pass to
jne person, it would have to allow
■verybody to travel free of cost. The
same rule holds good as regards r>
lured rates. If a company reduces
;hr rate for one person, it must mak<
he same reduction for all. The fo! |
owing clause from the new federal
aw covers the question of free pas- i
ies and reduced rates:
“Section. 16. That it shall be un
lawful for any common carrier b\
water, or other person .subject to this
act, either alone or in conjunction with
any othei person, directly or indirect
ly. to make or give any undue or un
reasonable preference or advantage to
any particular person, locality, or de
scription of traffic in any respec*
whatsoever,”
The California act is equally com
prehensive, referring specifically to
the passes and reduced rates.

DANCING IN F.MPT1
HOl'SES \ NEW I Al>
I.ONDOX. .March 3. The craze for
"empty-house” parties is intensifying
as the winter season advances, anti
now that men on leave are not al
lowed to .wear mufti, and are. there
fore, debarred from dancing at hotels
or restaurants, the jov of the private
invitation party is being more keenly
felt each week. The fact that there
are so many large unoccupied houses
in th» west-end a'.-o adds a favorable
quality to this -pc,-ml form of merry
making.
The necessary component parts for
the success of an “ Krapty-House
Dance” are a large mansion in a con
venient part of town, situated if pos
sible near a railway station or a bus
route; a ballroom, or two or three big
communicating loonies with hradwood
floors; a landlord who is good natured
enough to lend the house or else to let
it for one or two days, and a sufficient
number of young people to make tin
whole affair go with a bang from tin
start. No furniture is necessary ex
cept, of course, a few dozen chairs and
some tables to be used for supper,
decorations that can be arranged ac
cording to the taste or the means- of
the host, a band preferably of the rag
time variety, and two or three ser
vants that can be borrowed at discre
tion front friends. Also a simple but
plentiful supper, with no hot dishes
and plenty of fluid refreshment. With
these concomitants a wartime enter
tainment of the character 1 mention is
one of the jolliest things that London
can produce at present.
