Huntington Offers Compromise

Henry e. Huntington will construct
and operate street railway on East
Orange Grove avenue within six
months providing the city council will
vote to abandon the franchise upon
Chestnut and Summit avenues. This
is the substance of letter received
by the city administration to-day from
Attorney Dunn of the legal depart
ment of the Pacific Electric, and its
coming indicates that the city's repre-
sentations are beginning to bear fruit.
Only one or two of the councilmen ex-
press themselves as unqualifiedly in
favor of accepting Mr.. Huntington's
offer, but there seems to be little doubt
that 1t will be ultimately accepted. 1t
Is understood that residents of Summit
and Chestnut streets are no longer
anxious for the car line, and that there
will be little IL any objection to aban-
doning the franchise on these streets.
Property owners along East Orange
Grove avenue have been agitating the
matter and urging the council to in
sist on Mr.. Huntington building upon
that street, and they will welcome the
compromise offer as a victory for their
cause. Attorney Dunn further writes
that the matter of an extension on
North Los Robles avenue will be con-
sidered next week.
Shakespeare Club
Music and medicine, with fine vo-
calist and grinning skeleton as the
and instruction of the afternoons
program Of the Shakespeare Club this
afternoon. While the combination was
unusual the result was most happy and
interesting. After a brief business ses-
sion, Mrs. Cramer, accompanied by
Mrs. Bliss, gave violin solo, which
showed fine ability and a perfect con-
troll of the instrument.
The quotation for the day was most
appropriately "The doctors are our
friends; let's please them WELL" for
the two speakers for the afternoon
We're DIR. q. T. Malaby and DR.. Henry
Sherry. Mrs. w. D. Turner, in intro
ducing the former, said she was glad
not all men were like Grover Cleve-
land in thinking that women's clubs
were a detriment rather than a help
to the home. DR.. Malaby's subject was
the very practical one of Modern
Surgery" its aim being to make clenr
to his hearers the helpfulness Of sur.
gerry in the great majority of cases
and also to call attention to the need
of turning promptly, when there is
trouble, to a competent surgeon for
treatment.
Mrs. Sullivan, accompanied by Mrs.
Bliss, then sang a delightful soprano
solo, in the refrain of which Dancing
Through Sunny Spain" was repeated.
Under the title of "Poetical Nomen-
clature of Human Anatomy" DR..
Henry Sherry developed most inter-
esting pathological study Of the ana
tomical names.
Burglar Is Arrested
Fred Ziegler is in the city lookup on
the charge OF being concerned in the
attempted burglary at the Los Robles
avenue station of the Santa Fe. The
arrest came this afternoon as the re-
suit of some clever detective work by
Patrolman Coping. The officer noted
certain slight cleWs about the station
the next morning. These clewS grad
ually pointed to Ziegler as the would
be thief, and officer Coping searched
Ziegler's room, finding there evidence
pointing to the mans guilt in certain
trinkets stolen from the station. The
young man was traced to Los Angeles
and there found serving a three-day
jail sentence for being drunk and dis
orderly Ziegler is said to have served
q five-year sentence in Ohio for bur-
glary.
