STIMULATE TRAFFIC TO
G0LDFIELD DISTRICT
Salt Lake Announces Special Excur-
sion Rates to Become Effective
at Once

To give an additional impetus to
the passenger traffic into the Goldfield
district the Salt Lake road is prepar-
ing to put into effect a special round
trip rate to Las Vegas from it's ter
minals and intermediate points.
The fare will be $25 for the roundtrip
from points west of San Bernardino
and $50 from points in Utah north of
Lynn. There are two days in August,
thirteen in September and thirteen
days in October on which the tickets,
having thirty days limit, will be
placed on sale.
The fall and winter months are ex-
pected to bring another rush of gold
seekers into the region. Old mining
men say that the wild cat" days Of
the camps have passed and the devel-
opment of the towns and mines is to
be of the substantial sort.

cific railroad officials are jubilant over
the report.
The water of the Colorado river is
still pouring into the Salton sink, but
the quantity compared with that of a
month ago is much smaller. This is in
part due to the falling Of the Colorado
and partly to the efforts of the Cali
fornia Development company to shut
out the flow of the river through the
intake of the irrigation canals. The
daily evaporation is something tre-
mendous, and engineers say that If the
sources of the big lake are cut off, the
Salton sink will have assumed its
desert-like appearance within twelve
months
'It makes little difference to US"
said Southern Pacific railroad official
yesterday, what becomes of the Salton
sea. Our track has been placed at an
elevation where there is, or will be no
danger from the floods. However, we
are pleased to know that the Salton sea
is believed by engineers to have reached
it's largest expanse and is already
dwindling in area"

IRATE MISTRESS
OF HOME
Police Judge Imposes
Light Fine
Mrs. +. G.. SarnOw Tells
Of Encounter
Housewife Finds Stranger In One ot
Her Rooms and Without More
Ado ForclbIy Leads Him
to the Street

"I'm not afraid of man. put one
out Of the house yesterday and shut the
door on him."
This is the way in which Mrs. f..
George Sarnow of 735 South Los An
geles street began her description Of
an encounter which she had with Will
liam Bosnstow of the Eastern Art COM
pany, 627 East Sixth street, Thursday.
Mrs. Garnow's statements were borne
out by the fact that after pluckily
ejecting from her house a strange man
who, as she said, insulted her, she
dressed and shadowed him down the
street until she had him identified and
arrested. Captain Auble, who was also
at work on the case, simply took back
seat and let things transpire. AS a re-
suit Police Judge Austin yesterday read
Bosnstow a lecture upon the evil of his
ways and administered fine of $40 in
the police court yesterday morning.
The incident may not be closed,
however, for the only thing between
Mrs. Sarnow and detectives badge
seems to be widespread feeling OF
jealousy upon the part of the police
department and a lack of interest
among the women's clubs
In speaking of her battle, Mrs. Sar-
now said yesterday: II was out on the
back porch alone and had left the
front door open. When 1 went back
into the house 1 found man there.
"I asked him what he meant by COM
ing in my house. He didn't seem to
know, so 1 put him out. Really, you
know, it was easy. I simply showed
him down the hall and shut the door.
Then he began to kick at the same
until the door flew open. He swore
at me, but kept on the safe side of the
screen.
when he went down the street I
went too. Other women had been asked
to buy the pictures he failed to show
me, so it was easy to find where he
came from. When my husband came
home we called up Captain Auble, and
had the man arrested.
"There was no reason to be afraid,
and even If he had hit me, i think
could have managed him. There's no
use of being afraid, for have pistol
in the house. 1 don't know exactly
where it is, but then one does not
need it often"

who will be the next chief of police?
Well. now, you are asking conundrums,
but 1t looks to me like former Chief
John Glass will be named to succeed
w. A. Hammel," said a prominent
politician yesterday.
From what 1 hear, I am inclined
to believe that Glass has the proper
backing to land the job, but that Nc
Aleer feels a little 'crawly' about ap-
pointing him. You see there are people
in town who are opposed to Glass for
various reasons, though many things
advanced as reasons have no founda-
ton whatever.
"Of course Chinatown was in it's most
prosperous condition during the ad-
ministration of Chief Glass and the
crib district was running full blast.
There are those who blame Chief Glass
for this, but the blame can hardly be
sible for the existence of the district.
Neither was he the police commission
or the council and so he could not wipe
out the district without orders to do so
from those higher in authority.
Some Clouds
There are clouds over certain parts
of his administration, however, which
have never been cleared up and there
is a certain element of the population
of Los Angeles that would oppose his
appointment to the position. Whether
the McAleer collar would fit Chief Glass
or not I do not know, although I hear
that McAleer wants to name him for
the position, but fears Glass enemies.
From good authority have also
heard that Glass would be acceptable
to Commissioners Mason and Johnson.
Their votes. with the mayors. would
give Glass the position, but perhaps Nc
Aleer does not care to act without the
support of the other two members of the
solid three
Another man who has been men,
toned in connection with the position
of chief OF police ever since Hammel
resigned, is the councilman from the
Eighth ward, Barney Healy. There is
no question that Healy would make a
good chief of police. He is an old army
man and has seen many years of active
service against the Indians in Arizona.
This experience should be of great
value to chief of police, for then he
could instill into the department the
perfect discipline of the army and make
his force small army. In my opinion
this would. be of great good to the
department.
Unfortunately, Councilman Healy
could not accept the position even
should he be named. as he is holding
all elective ONCE at present"
