DUSTLESS ROADS CASE
WILL NOW GO TO TRIAL
Holding Technical Objections
Are Without Merit

Judge Wellborn yesterday in the
United States court overruled the de-
murrer in the case of the Dustless
Roadbed company of Camden, N. j.,
against the city of Redlands.
The demurrer says that the patent is
void for the lack of novelty and inven-
ton, and also for the reason that the
patent is uncertain in it's terms, and
that the plaintiff seeks the assistance
of the court in perpetuating monop-
oily. The case will now go to trial.
In handing down his opinion, Judge
Wellborn says:
II am of opinion that the technical
objections to the complaint for uncer-
tainty are without merit, and am also
satisfied that the patent is not, on its
face, so obviously void for insufficiency
cf description or lack of novelty or in-
vention as to require, or justify, on this
hearing, declaration of its invalidity."

TO SETTLE BULWER ESTATE
Petition of British Vice Consul Is
Denied

Judge Wilbur yesterday in the su-
perior court denied the petition of c.
White Mortimer, the British consul,
who petitioned the court to appoint
him administrator of the estate of the
late Maj. Henry F. Bulwer as the
nominee of Mrs. Lucy Mills, the first
wife of the deceased.
Public Administrator McGarvin was
appointed administrator of the estate
at the special request of Mrs. Edith
Mary Bulwer, who is the beneficiary
under the terms of the will.
The court also dismissed the citation
against the public administrator, COM
manding him to show cause why he
should not be discharged as the admin
istrator in behalf of the second wife.
The case was called yesterday, but an
agreement had been reached whereby
it was stipulated that the estate should
be equally divided beween the second
wife and Mrs. Constance Woodeson, the
daughter of the deceased.
The estate is valued at $4,000, against
which there are outstanding claims
amounting to $1,000.

CONTEMPT CASE BEING
CONSIDERED BY JUDGE
Attorney Hunsaker Argues in Behalf
of Publishers of Los
Angeles Times

The hearing in the contempt pro-
oeedings against II. G.. Otis and Harry
Chandler, as publishers of the Times,
in connection with certain statements
which appeared in that paper criticiz-
ing the work of the grand jury, was
again resumed yesterday afternoon be-
fore Judge Wilbur in the superior
court.
Attorney Hunsaker, in behalf of the
publishers, argued that the affidavits
On which the contempt citation was
be ased were insufficient
Mr.. Hunsaker cited number of de-
cisions handed down by the supreme
court i'm which it was held that con-
tempt of court is a specifically criminal
offense and that one charged with con-
tempt cannot be made to testify against
himself
He argued that the publications set
forth in the affidavits did not show a
contempt of court. and he cited a num-
ber of cases in support of his conten-
tion.
In reply District Attorney Fredericks
argued to the contrary, and Judge VIII
bur took the case under consideration.

BIG STATION IS
READY FOR USE
INTERURBAN ELECTRIC RAIL.
WAY TERMINAL FINISHED
Structure viii Be Occupied Tomorrow
II Rainy Weather Continues;
Otherwise Not Until
Saturday

With the opening of the Pacific Elec-
trio interurban terminal station at
Sixth and Main streets within the next
few days Los Angeles will have in
operation the largest station of its
kind in the United States.
'If the weather continues disagreea-
BILE" said General Manager A. d..
SCHNEIDER yesterday, the station will
be open for traffic Wednesday morn
ing. If the weather is fair we shall
continue to load and unload passengers
at the temporary station until the
latter part of the week"
The station, which occupies almost
the entire ground floor of the Hunting
ton building, has been under construc-
tion for the past two years and has
%, 200 square feet of surface, exclusive
of waiting rooms, dining rooms and
other contemplated conveniences de-
voted entirely TO tracks and a station
for loading and unloading passengers.
The station will be used as terminal
by all interurban cars of the Pacific
Electric and Los Angeles Interurban
companies that are run on Main street.
This is with the exception of the Gar
vanza and Ninth street line.
Ample provision has been made for
loading, unloading and dispatching a
car every minute, but in all probability
it will be found necessary to rearrange
some of the local time tables by diff
ference in time of several minutes to
avoid congestion of traffic during the
busy hours of the day.
The waiting room, 120 feet square
and devoted to the use of the public,
is to contain besides an information
bureau, stalls for concessionaires.
venders of souvenirs, newspaper and
cigar stands. The women's waiting
room, 40x60 feet, is to be equipped with
movable furniture and with every pos
sible appliance which will add comfort
to the occupants. Adjoining it on the
west is a matrons room, which will be
used for invalids.
In addition to a lunch counter a
large dining room will be furnished
within a few weeks.
The opening of the terminal station
sees practically the completion of the
Huntington building, the largest fire
proof office block in the world, the
construction of which has been under
the supervision of Edward S. Cobb,
mechanical engineer.

NURSES ARE CARING FOR
DEAD CLASSMATES CHILD
Young Mother, Bereft of Reason,
Expires, Leaving Infant in Charge
of Girlhood Friends


At the Good Samaritan hospital
there is a little baby who is receiving
more attention than usually falls to
the lot of an infant who has seen
the light of day for only three weeks
but the baby is the little son of Mary
Pierson, who graduated from the hos
pital in the class of 1908, and the
nurses are trying to make up for the
loss of the mother love, for the young
mother died Saturday of acute mania,
leaving the little child to the care of
the girls who had been her classmates.
Shortly after her graduation the
young nurse, who was one of the most
popular of the class, was married and
went to Riverside to live. Four weeks
ago she returned to the hospital. The
child was just such "a healthy hearty
young individual as it should be and
the mother was well and happy until
about a week ago, when her reason
suddenly left her. Everything that
could be done for her proved of no
avail.
Services were held in the chapel of
the hospital at which about sixty of
the nurses were present and then the
husband left for Riverside with the
body of his wife, leaving the baby
to be cared for at the hospital, and
the child is smiling and cooling his way
into the hearts of all who see him.

CITY TREASURER WANTS
TWO BIG COIN SAFES
Asks Council to Give Additional Pro-
lection to Gold Stored in
SubsTre asurY

City Treasurer Workman yesterday
asked the council to give him authority
to purchase two manganese time lock
coin chests for use in the new sub
treasury. Such safes as Mr.. Workman
wants will cost the city about $1,000
each.
The city treasurer says the safes are
needed for safeguarding the money in
his care. He also says the safes will
not lose their value in case the city
moves the money away from it's pres
ent location in the American National
bank, as they will always be needed as
part of the equipment of the treas
urer's Office.
The safes Mr.. Workman desires to
procure are regarded by bankers as
the safest receptacle for valuables ever
devised by man. III shape they are
nearly round. The doors screw in like
The breech of a great naval or coast
defense gun. Each safe is capable OF
holding $1,50000O in gold. They are said
to be practically indestructible. They
are fitted with time locks.
The request was referred to the
finance committee of the council.

FOR ARREST OF ROBBERS
Officials of Electric Railways Deter
mined to Put Stop to Street
Car Hod-Ups

Officials of the Los Angeles Traction
company have offered a reward of $3.50
tor information which will lead to the
arrest and conviction of the highway
men who held up the conductor of a
Boyle Heights and West Seventh street
car at Westlake park Friday night and
forced him to hand over the money he
had collected in street car fares.
Burner, the conductor, was assaulted
by the two men as he stepped from his
car at the terminal of the line, and
facing two revolvers did not dare to
offer any resistance when his pockets
were rifled of their contents.
Robberies OF street cars when they
reach localities favorable to the act
have become so frequent during the
past few weeks that officials of the
electric lines, to put a stop to the acts
have determined to offer rewards sutfi-
cient to make it worth while to those
who will effect the capture of the per-
petrators.

Spouse From Disposing
of Property

According to the complaint filed yes
terday in the superior court by Mrs.
Frances Winton her husband, Paul
Winton, is a reckless spendthrift, and
she asks the court to restrain him from
sQuandering her money.
The complaint says the plaintiff and
defendant were married on April 80,
1900, at which time she was under the
age of 20 years and utterly mex
perienced in business affairs.
Mrs. Winton says her husband has
promiscuously loaned large sums of
money and that the security taken
therefor is anything but gilt edged.
She also says her husbands habits
are not above reproach and that he has
expended large sums of her good
money in his desire to gamble and
drink.
Mrs. Winton declares her trust has
been misplaced, and she asks the court
to grant her the customary relief

Under Contract and Asks for
Road DRESSING

Street superintendent Hanley sent a
communication to the council yesterday
in reference to the condition of the
bridges in the city. Mr.. Hanley recon-
mends that a number of bridges be
repaired at once. He also recommends
that all the work be done by contract.
A new plank covering is recon-
mended for the Ninth street bridge.
Hanley suggests that four-inch plank
ing be used. Two small bridges one
east of Seventh street and the other
east of the First street bridge, are
recommended for removal and subst-
tuition by filing the depression and
placing a section of pipe underneath to
carry away the flood waters.
The resurfacing of Fourth street be-
tween Main and Spring. and North
Main between Marchessault and Ala
media, is recommended. Mr. Hanley

terials for repairing the graveled and
porphyry streets.

by the council to Mr.. Hanley in refer
ence to the disposition to be made of
the sweepings from the streets. Mr..

SANTA FE ROAD SEEKS
BOYS WITH AMBITION
Messengers in Telegraphic Service, on
Full Pay, Work Half Time,
Study Remainder

Within the past few weeks an order
has gone into effect on the Pacific coast
division of the Santa Fe railroads tele-
graph lines by which messenger boys
of the service are given the half of each
day for the study Of telegraphy. When
proficient they are provided with posi-
tions with a considerable increase in
salary.
No curtailment of salary has come
as a consequence of the half working
day order, and the plan of the Santa
Fe in this department of its service
is the first to be adopted by any rail-
road. other railways, as has the Santa
Fe in the past. permitted their mes
senger boys to use the instruments.
Aside from this other railroads have
failed to show any interest.
II. C. Chase, assistant superintendent
of telegraph for the Santa Fe, said yes
terday: 1--WE have ceased to look upon
messengers simply as boys that run
errands and deliver messages. We now
consider them apprentices. We do not
want young men without ambition.
When we find a boy that has not this
qualification of success he is discharged
Immediately and one with stamina and
energy is put in his place.

BOARD WOULD DISPOSE
OF PRESENT NORMAL SITE
Directors Of State Normal School Will
Discuss Report Submitted by
President MiIIspauuh

The trustees of the state normal
school will hold an important con-
ference next Thursday. at which the
report Of President Jesse f. Millspaugh.
submitted to the legislators assembled
az the recent luncheon given the states
men at the school, will be discussed by
the trustees, who will endeavor to ar
rive at some definite form of action TO
secure new grounds and building and
further extend the usefulness and con-
venience of the state institution.
President Millspaugh's extended re-
port recommended the sale of the pres
ent grounds and building and the pur-
chase of at least seven acres of ground
on which new and modern school
building should be erected.
The present property is valued at
S15O,OOO. The building was erected
twenty years ago, but 1t is without
sufficient heating apparatus and in
many ways is deficient for the needs of
the students. Located on hill off
Olive and Fifth streets, it is a climb OF
thirty-seven feet to the main entrance
to the grounds from Olive street, ana
a climb of eighty-six feet to the door
of the building, and then there are
seven flights of stairs to climb before
the student reaches the assembly room
A member of the board of trustees
says that to provide a suitable heating
plant for the old building an expendi-
ture of at least $4,000 will be required.
The present boiler apparatus is re-
garded as dangerous and inadequate,
and it is claimed that the ventilation is
bad at all times.
Friends of the state normal feel that
a new building should be provided at
some point where there would be ample
ground for an athletic field and for
other features which naturally belong
to such an institution.
