twenty-three new members were elected.
Sine the club has taken Its rooms in the
Bartlett block, which will be fitted up with
BILLIARD table, reading and writing mater

A Drunken Husband
James w. Stewart of 1856 North Pasadena
avenue, who has from time to time come
before the police department because Of
his drunkenness, came down town this az
ternoon and demanded that Policeman
Goltfnan arrest his wife. Stewart had a
star-shaped, blood-blotched wound in his
scalp and the blood had trickled down and
coagulated on his nose. Goltman took him
around to the recorder but he was refused
Q warrant. He has been found In the gutter
too drunk to stand a number of times and
the supposition was that he had gone home
drunk today. He says he had been talking
over a carpentering job he had contracted
for and that his wife had not approved OF
1t. He told her to mind her own business
and he says that she hit him with a club
or chair or something else-he was not sure
what. Judge Rosster advised him to stop
drinking and Join union of husbands who
have no trouble with their wives. Stewar:
evidently unmindful Of the appearance thai:
one wife had been too much for him, said
he would get another wife as soon as pos
sible, in fact have six or seven of them.
A Motorman Manned
Martin Wetzel, a motorman on the eiec-
trio road, was terribly injured this evening
at about 6:15 o'clock at the Chestnut street
car rendezvous. He was coupling two cars
when, owing to miscalculation, they came
together and caught him and pinned him.
His groin and leg were terribly bruised
and lacerated and the organs were fearfully
.wrenched and crunched before the cars
could be separated and the man released.
He was brought at once to the receiving
hospital and attended by DR.. Hodge, the
company's surgeon, and by Nurse Jor-
nschky, who has had much experience with
cases of the kind. Wetzel is popular man
on the road and has family living on Daily
street in Los Angeles.

kens, Peter Orban, r. II. Pinney, Benjamin

by choosing Peter Orban president, w. Il.
Stats vice-president, Prof. A l.. Hamilton
treasurer and e. A. Walker secretary.
Isaac Springer. the former secretary, who
refused to give up the books on the ground
that his successor had not previously been
duly elected, gave notice today that II he
was paid for his time and work he would
resign the books to Mr.. Walker. The ses-
sion was held today largely to settle this
dispute as to the secretaryship. The dis
pute was decided in a manner satisfactory
to all, there being about 1900 votes by stock
holders especially cast for Mr.. Walker in
order to sustain the stand taken by the d.
rectors in electing him.
