SERVES COMPANY 19 YEARS
Motorman James Wynne Draws Top
Pay Since Railway Company
Increased Waqes

The Los Angeles Railway company
has granted an increase Of pay to all
motormen and conductors ON its lines.
The average increase will amount to
$3.50 "A month. Men who have been in
the employ of the company for six
months will get 20 cents an hour; for
Il year, 20 IL cents; for two years, %
cents: from three to five years, "a
cents; from six to eight years, 25 cents;
from nine to eleven years 26 cents;
from twelve to fourteen years, 27 cents;
and after the fifteenth year, rs cents
indefinitely.
1t was asserted some time ago that
after a man had been in the employ
ment Of any of the street railway COM
panies for more than ten or twelve
years he was discharged for some
trivial offense and was displaced by Il
newer and cheaper man. James
Wynne. who has been a motorman for
the Los Angeles railway for the past
10 years, denies this assertion and cites
his own case as an illustration of his
denial.
Wynne will draw the highest wages
of any conductor or mOtOrman in Los
Angeles under the new ruling. for he is
the oldest motorman in this city.
Wynne has never had an accident
since he started to work for the COM
pany and says that his good luck in
avoiding fatalities is due to the fact
that he never tries to work more than
10 hours at a stretch that he never
drinks any kind of liquor and that he
always keeps cool
The Increase I'm wages will be very
welcome says Wynne, and the other
schedule appointed him to express

their thanks to the company.

considering especially are the Vernon
avenue. San Pedro and Twentieth
street schools.
Some of the gardens will be cared
for under the direction of the Child
Study circles as the field is so large
one committee would have q difficult
time overseeing everything"
Among other schools visited yester-
day was the Polytechnic high school,
and the interest of the committee has
been secured on behalf of that school.
There is Il large space covering the
entire top of the building which Prin-
Cipal Francis and Superintendent Fo-
shay hope to see turned into beauti-
ful roof garden.
1t is the plan of Mr.. Francis to have
the roof furnished with palms and
plants. and to have seats so that the
place may be used for a large out-of-
door study room. Lack of funds pre-
vents doing anything with it, and the
women are hoping to find some way in
which they can carry out the plans.
"A meeting of the committee will be
held later in the week when further
arrangements will be made.
Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, who is
president of the Civic association and
also of the Outdoor Art league is en-
thusiastic over the work, and she and
Mrs. Terrell plan to make an even
greater success of this contest than of
the one held during the summer
months

PLANS AN IMMENSE HARBOR
Long Beach Promoters Claim New
Channel Will Accommodate the
Heaviest Vessels

san Pedro will be forced to share
with Long Beach the honor of being a
harbor city. Excavation was begun
yesterday on the new harbor and sew
eral dredges will be secured from San
Francisco to rush the work.
Back of the scheme are capitalists
who represent total of not far from
fifty millions of dollars. Practically
unlimited capital is at the disposal of
the company and it is the intention of
the promoters to make the Long Beach
harbor broad and deep enough for the
largest vessels afloat to drop anchor
in it.
1t will be necessary to build jettes
i'm the opinion of Captain McKinstry,
the United States engineer in charge
of all the harbor work done on the
Pacific coast, to keep the sand from
filling I'm the channels after they shall
have been constructed.
The sand and dirt taken from the
ocean in the excavations will be used
TO fill the large salt marshes in the
vicinity of Long Beach, and when that
is done about 500 acres of new land
viii have been made.

PERSONAL TOURS
To Be CONTINUED
RAILROADS AGREE TO RESClND
RECENT ORDER
Eastern People May Come to Caifor-
MIA in Charge of Tourist
Agents as in the
Past

Officials of the Santa 10c. Southern
Pacific and Salt Lake railroads an
nOunced yesterday that executive
orders have been issued canceling all
Instructions to discontinue personally
conducted excursions.
Officials say their respective roads
would have been glad To discontinue
these excursions January /, but that
pressure was brought to bear by east
ern roads SO that they could not refuse
the demands to handle this business
as heretofore.
Some of the officials of the eastern
lines which connect with western roads
and have local offices in Los Angeles
stated yesterday that IA great part of
their western travel depends upon these
personally conducted tours ana that
their companies were compelled to in
sist that western roads handle this
business.
The Santa Zee officials say they have
been willing to abandon these eXcur-
sions for several years but that they
could not get the other roads to agree
to 1t. They also say that it does not
make as much difference to them as
il does to the other two roads running
into Los Angeles on account of their
having their own line clear through
from Los Angeles to Chicago.
S. p. Dislikes Plan
The complaint of the Southern Pa
cific officials has been that they have
been getting the worst of the deal all
of the way through and that they have
10 carry large number of cars from
Ogden to the coast that are only one
fourth or one-half filled This is not
profitable. they say. The other roads
do not compel all Of the through pas
sengers to engage berths in the same
cars, hut allow them passage I'm the
cars with people who are coming only
part of the way. In consequence pas
sengers from all the cars stop off along
the way leaving the cars only partially
filled. These cars, because they are
personally conducted, have to be hauled
the entire journey whereas a smaller
number of cars would as well accom-
modate the passengers.
This decision which has inst heen
reached after a conference of the high
officials of the roads, means that a
large number of conductors. some of
whom have been conducting excursions
ever since II took ten days TO make fine
trip from Chicago TO the coast. win NOT
be thrown out of employment as they
feared few weeks ago when the
orders were issued by the western
roads not to receive personally con-
Quoted cars.

DISCOVERS NEW

YOUNG ASTRONOMER RETURNS
FROM CHILE
Dr. Harold X. Palmer Reports Success
of Expedition to Southern Hemis=
phere to Study Direction and
Velocity of Sun

Dir. Harold Is. Palmer, the eminent
young astrologer who left California
nearly three years ago on an expedi-
tion to Santiago, Chile, from the Lick
observatory, has returned to Los An
geles.
Several years ago an investigation
was begun to determine the direction
and velocity of the motion of the sun
and its planets through space. In or
der to complete the work it was thought
necessary to observe stars in the south
ern consultations and DR.. Palmer and
w. II. Wright We're chosen as the men
best fitted to make the observations.
They went to Chile equipped with an
paratus for an observatory and have
been working steadily ever since, with
the result that they have found the
Information sought.
In speaking OF his trip to a Herald
reporter, DR.. Palmer said:
I'VE arrived in Santiago with our
apparatus, perfect strangers and know
ing nothing of the language of the
country.
"The first six months we spent in
making preparation for our observa-
tions,
Achieves Desired Result
1--WE We're of course, handicapped by
lack of knowledge of the language, and
the laborers we could get We're un-
skilled. We chose u site on hill on
the outskirts of Santiago, 1000 feet in
elevation.
Our apparatus had been sent down
by ID. o. Mills of New York and we
had to put it together
After six months of building and
preparation we began to examine the
stars. We have succeeded in adding
to data already on hand the facts
which we sought regarding the motion
Of the SUM- and we have also picked
up a few double stars"
Mr.. Wright remained in Chile, where
he will wait until he can be relieved
by some one from the observatory.
Though the desired knowledge has been
gained, it has been decided to keep
the observatory at that point for five
years, that more work along the same
line may be doHe and also for observ-
ing more of the double stars.
While only twenty-four years of age,
DR.. Palmer has already won many
honors. He received two degrees at
the University of California and stud
led at the Lick observatory un-
der the late Prof. Keeler. He is a
brother of Elizabeth Palmer, head of
the botany department of the Los An
geles high school
Before coming to Los Angeles DR..
Palmer reported at the Lick observ-
atory and spent few days in Berke-
ley.
He will spend the Christmas holidays
at the family home, l741 Harvard boue-
ward.
