WAY BUILD NEW
PASADENA LINE
HUNTINGTON SEEKS TO BUY
RIGHT OF WAY
PLANS PARTIALLY MATURED
Owns a Strip of Land Near Eastlake
Park, and Agents Approach
Other Property
Owners
PLANS PARTIALLY MATURED

In contradiction of the statements oi
H. e. Huntington that he will build nc
more street railways in Los Angeles SC
long as the present condition exists,
developments have come to light show
| ing that his lieutenants are busy in
buying up private right of way in the
north part of the city for what appears
to be new line connecting Los An
geles with Pasadena.
During the past few days residents
in the vicinity of East Forty-third
street, and from there on to the city
limits, have been approached by agents
asking them to set a price on their
holdings. They believe the Pacific
Electric company is behind the move
ment.
Mr.. Huntington already owns long
strip of land. extending northward
from Eastlake park and once across the
Arroyo Seco, and with right of way
along the bluff, thence cut through
the hills to connect with the old line
at Garfield park, would give him a
route into Pasadena nearly two miles
shorter than the present roads.
1t would also open up large amount
of new territory to the south of Pasa-
dena avenue, which is only awaiting
proper railway facilities to convert it
into fine residence district.
The Pasadena Short Line in one
sense Of the word has ceased to be
SUCH Homes have sprung up along
the entire right of way and the stops
made are almost as frequent as on
the old line.
The freight issue has reached a point
where it is soon to be decided once
and for all, either one way or the other.
Should Huntington win in his declara-
ton that he already has right to
transport freight through Los Angeles,
such a road to Pasadena would be of
the utmost Importance, giving a short
er route and the possibility of making
a high rate of speed along the entire
right of way.

Is Suspected

A special to the Times-Journal from
Ell Reno, Okla, says: Lieut. Granville
Chapman, stationed at Fort Reno, was
shot in the back today while assisting
in the maneuvers of six companies in a

M. Lee, whose headquarters are at San
Antonio. While engaged in a running
fight across the prairie, northwest of
town, Lieut.. Chapman, who was acting
as the battalion adjutant, received a
shot from ball cartridge fired from the
companies opposing him. He died
where he fell.
Foul play is suspected and a rigid
examination is being instituted to de-
termine, if possible, the person who
fired the shot. At the present time no
one in the six companies engaged can
throw any light on the subject.

CHICAGO MAY
TAKE THE ROADS
CAPITALISTS GLAD TO LET GO
OF THEM
mo HAGGLING OVER TRIPLES
Will Turn Over the Union Traction
and City Railway Properties
Free of Debt and Ready
for Operation
Special TO The Herald.

Special to The Herald
CHICAGO, May 1S.-"Chicago can
have both the Union Traction and City
railway properties and take them to-
gether, all free of debt and ready for
municipal operation. But we want time
to perfect the necessary details for
further negotiations
This is, in effect, the nrst official 'propo-
sition made to the city today in the
most important traction conference
ever held in Chicago.
1t was attended by j. p. Morgan's
personal representatives, John J..
Mitchell, John A. Spoor and other mill
ionaire stockholders and attorneys. and
the city traction experts and lawyers
The traction men announced that they
wanted to put no obstruction in the
way of municipal ownership, but, on
the other hand, were anxious to do all
they could to further it.
1t was made clear to Mayor Dunno
that there would be no haggling over
trifles in regard to prices to be paid
1t was also asserted that the present
owners had no doubt of the legality
and worth Of the Mueller law certifi-
Gates and would readily accept them.
Furthermore, it was stated that the
Union traction and city railway COM
panies would either turn over their
properties as they are or would re-
habilitate them for the city and then
surrender all their rights of ownership.
Mayor Dunno was given to under
stand that the Morgan syndicate had
no desire to hide behind the legal fence
of a receivership, but that it was ready,
as soon as negotiations warrant, to
throw off the receivership, which Is
costing not less than 100000 a year.

RUSSIAN FLEET SIGHTED
Report Shows Rojestvensky Is Still
Far Away From Togo
BY Associated Press.

by AFSOClated PreSS.
SINGAPORE, May 1S.-The Russian
fleet was in latitude 1880 north and
longitude 11.30 east (about 100 miles
northeast of Cape Varella, coast of An
nam) during the morning of May 16,
according to a report brought here
by the British steamer Hong Wan /.
The German steamer Seagovia sighted
forty-two Russian ships forty miles
from Cape Varella May 10, steaming
slowly north.
The latitude and longitude in which
the Russian fleet was reported by the
British steamer Hong Wan 1 does not
indicate that naval battle is immi-
nent. The Russians were on May 16
only about 150 miles from the coast of
AMMAN, and apparently heading north
for the waters of the island of Hainan,
near which, according to a Hong Kong
dispatch, $50 junks laden with provis-
sions, were waiting for the Russian
fleet.
Even il Admiral Rojestvensky de-
cides not to take these supplies on
board, or if the Hong Kong report is
incorrect, the Russian fleet on May 16
was still about 700 miles from the
southern part of the island of Formosa,
where, it has been asserted, Admiral
Togo may give battle. and it is doubt
full if the fleet can now make more than
about 200 miles a day under the most
favorable circumstances.
