SEEKS FREIGHT
CARRYING RIGHT
PETITION FOR FRANCHISE NOW
BEING CIRCULATED
MERCHANTS FAVOR THE PLAN
Business Men Think the Time Has
Come to Permit Street Car
Companies to Handle
Freight
MERCHANTS FAVOR THE PLAN

There is a petition in circulation
praying that a franchise be offered fol
sale allowing the carrying of freight
by street car companies through the
streets of Los Angeles. Councilmer
say they have seen such a petition, but
fore their regular meeting, probably
next Monday.
The petition already has more than
100 signatures, containing the names, 1t
is said, of many of the most promi-
nent merchants in business in Los An
geles. The whole thing has been
handled, as are most business deals,
without any advertising. Nobody con-
nected with it has given out any in
formation, but considerable has been
gathered in a general way.
Many merchants who are doing a
large business, and especially whole
sale business, which incurs a consider
able amount of shipping, have put
themselves on record as favoring
freight carrying by street railways un-
der certain limitations.
1t is claimed that the petition now
in circulation asks that the council Of
fer for sale a franchise which shall
contain these limitations.
Merchants Favor Plan
Many prominent merchants believe
that business in Los Angeles has
reached the place where it has become
necessary to permit the street car COM
panles to handle freight. Considerable
freight or express is now carried from
Los Angeles to other cities which are
connected by electric lines, such as
Pasadena. Santa Monica. Long Beach.
Whittier, Redondo, San Pedro and all
of the way stations on the lines reach
ing these points.
The great majority of the milk
brought into the city from outlying
dairies is carried on electric cars, as
are the berries and other fruits from
the San Fernando valley; flowers from
Redondo and other points, and citrus
fruits from special lines extending into
the lemon and orange districts.
At the present time the Pacific Elec-
trio is pushing work on its line to
Santa Ana. Already more than half
the distance has been tracked and
poled, while the wires are following
close upon the heels of the leaders.
Santa Ana is a city of upward of
5000 people. and the new line will pass
through Anaheim. Fullerton and
Orange, all good sized towns situated
in the center of the rich Santa Ana
valley, which is famed for it's produce.
VIII Be Great Advantage
Los Angeles merchants now supply
the trade Of this section, but feel that
they could do it better and cheaper
and quicker by the use Of electric cars.
which should take the merchandise
from the stores and carry It to its
destination without rehandling It, as is
now necessary.

HUSBAND JEALOUS
SAYS YOUNG WIFE
DUARTE WOMAN TELLS OF
UNHAPPY MARRIAGE
SAYS SHE SUPPORTED FAMILY
Mrs. Pearl L. Reese Is Granted Die
voree by Judge conrey on the
Ground Of Cruelty and
NonaSupport

A strange case of matrimonial unhap-
piness was recited in Judge Conrey's
division of the superior court yesterday
by Mrs. Pearl L. Reese in her petition
against Arthur w. Reese for divorce
on the grounds Of cruelty and non-sup-
port.
According to the testimony all the
things that the husband and master of
the home is supposed to do and attend
to fell to the lot Of the wife while the
man in the case was alleged to have
fretted about and let his wife earn her
living while he frequently accused her
of being untrue to him and in one of
the jealous quarrels is alleged to have
pulled his wife's hair.
Mrs. Reese, the plaintiff, appeared
in the court room yesterday afternoon
accompanied by her six-year-old
daughter Margaret, and by her mother.
Because of some peculiar features of
the case which Judge Conrey wanted
to investigate, all but the witnesses
and lawyers were excluded from the
court room and the proceedings were
held behind closed doors.
Mrs. Reese was the first witness to
take the stand. She was handsomely
dressed and her quick intelligent an
swers won her case.
Wife's Story
my husband and 1 were married at
Nf EnF
Mrs. Reese Almost since the first
year of my marriage 1 have been COM
PEELED to support myself and for some
time worked for my father on his
ranch 1 packed oranges for him, but
later took up dressmaking.
MY husband has an ungovernable
temper and is insanely jealous. He
constantly complained that 1 was un-
true to him and called me hard names.
For days at time we would live in
the same house and not speak to one
another. On one occasion when my
relatives learned that 1 was in need
and sent me $50 to pay my grocery bill
he claimed that some man had sent
me the money.
THE final effort on his part came on
Christmas day. Why he should have
selected that day for quarreling is
mystery to me, but he flew into
rage and called me hard names and
then 1 decided to get a divorce. Some
time ago he started a quarrel with me
and without any reason told me to get
out of the house or he would kick me
out. 1 refused to go and he told me he
was going to telephone to the police
and have me arrested. He finally was
contented with twisting my arm and
pulling my hair"
The decree was granted and the
mother given the custody of the chi.-
dren.

NO CHANGE WILL BE
MADE IN REFORM SCHOOL

There will be no change made in the
Whittier reform school owing to lack
of funds. The recent legislature passed
bill transferring all male inmates of
the Whittier school more than six
teen years of age to lone. This caused
considerable CONSERVATION among the
inmates, who did not like the idea Of
going north. 1t appears now that
while the Legislature provided the way
for the removal 1t did not provide the
means, hence the plan has been abar-
doned.
