LOS ANGELES, May 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Nine freighters and
two passenger ships with a total of
•
approximately 65,000, claiming Los
Angeles as home port, will soon be
scattered about the Pacific ocean. Up
to a short time ago no ocean going
commercial craft wras registered here.
Five of the freighters wrere allocat
ed to this port by the shipping board,
four of which are in service and the
fifth is expecting to be in a short time.
All of these have been assigned to
Far East service. Four more freight
ers are soon to be put into commis
sion by a local steamship company
and will make trips to the west coast
of Mexico and Central America. The
passenger steamers are the Yale and
Harvard purchased from the shipping
board by a Los Angeles syndicate
for coastwise service.
Before the new tonnage was an
nounced, Los Angeles shipping had ;
nearly regained the proportions which j
existed before the European wrar. j
Port records show 249 vessels with ,
an aggregate tonnage of 448,968 now
are making this a regular or occas
sional port of call. There wrere 256
with a tonnage of 450,297 making this
port just before the w^ar, according
to the 1914 records. These figures
include both the coastwise and ocean !
shipping, the greater part of the ton
nage being engaged in both or alter-'
nating between them.
American ships nowr predominate to
a much greater extent than before the
war. The classification by nationali
ties is:

Totals . 249 448,968
The company operating the Japan
ese ships now calling here plans ,
to increase its service, according to
a recent annoucement. Two Japan
ese ships of another line, making
trips to New Orleans by the way of
the Panama canal, recently stopped
here for fuel and it was said they
would make regular calls for that pur
pose. An American company has an
nounced that it will establish a reg-'
ular service within a short time from
Los Angeles and other Pacific coast
ports to the east coast of South Am-;
erica by way of the Straits of Ma
gellan.
There are seven lines with steam
ers running between Los Angeles and
Mexican, South and Central American
points; four to European ports; one
to Honolulu and Asia and two to
northern Pacific coast cities, most
of them on regular schedules.
Conditions in Los Angeles’ foreign
trade have been practically reversed,
according to customs house records.|
Tn 1919 tonnage entered totalled 128, j
492 and tonnage cleared 263,462. In
1913 the total entered was 195,743
and cleared 88.769. Increased ship
ments of oil were responsible for the
turning of the balance to a large ex
tent
WILL MAKE SEARCH
FOR EXTERMINATOR OF
DESTRUCTIVE INSECT
HONOLULU, May 21 (by Associated
Press).—John C. Bredwell, federal!
government entomologist, will leave
for the mainland in the near future
in search of an insect which will wage
war on pests now threatening to ex
terminate the algaroba trees of the
islands. Brought here in the early
50’s by a Roman Catholic priest, the
first algoraba tree, the algaroba of the
Bible, has scattered its descendants
throughout the territory, until now the
meal made from the beans they pro
duce is the staple stock food here.
Bredwell will make a thorough search
for a pest exterminator in the Im
perial valley, California, and In Ari
*ona and New Mexico.

BERLIN, May 21 (by Associated
Press).—In these disturbed days, when
the “revolution profiteer” — the suc
cessor of the war profiteer—flaunts his
newly acquired wealth in the face of
an impoverished populace, robberies
and burglaries in Berlin increase at
an abnormal pace. Street signs are
full of announcements offering re
wards for the return of stolen goods,
and in one of the main business streets
of Berlin a fancy goods store displays
this notice:
“Gentlemen burglars are requested
not to break open the shop front nor
to tamper with the locks. There is
nothing to steal here. All property is
removed from the shop windows at
night.”
There have been scores of hold-ups,
and the other day a man was stripped
of his clothes, shoes and hat and left
on the sidewalk in his underclothes.
It is not safe for hotel guests to
leave any portable property of any
description in their rooms. Articles
of clothing have a way of vanishing
into thin air, and hotel proprietors de
cline all responsibility. Police statis
tics indicate that the number cf hotel
robberies has trebled within the last
five years.
To leave typewriters unpadlocked is
sheer culpable negligence on the part
of the owner. The Berlin criminal
police has been obliged to organize a
special department dealing exclusive
ly with stolen machines.
Cases of housebreaking have quad
rupled within the last three years. Ar
ticles of clothing, bedclothes, carpets
and curtains are the objects most de
sired by the thieving fraternity.
Dishonesty among factory hands has
grown to a deplorable extent, the po
lice say. Leather belting disappears
wholesale; it is cut up and sold to
shoe repairers.
Nor are churches, cemeteries and
museums immune from robberies, the
booty carried off being mostly ancient
gold ornaments and jewelry.
