FOR ANOTHER FRANCHISE
Wants Line From Santee and Ninth
Streets Into the Huntington
BuiIdinu

An application was made to the
board of public works yesterday by the
Pacific Electric railroad for a fran
chise for a track into the Huntington
building. The route is described as
being from the intersection of Ninth
and Santee streets along Santee to the
end of that street, thence across pri-
vate property to Seventh street across
Seventh and Los Angeles streets into
the Huntington building.
Attorney Sam Haskins, who present.
ed the application, said the privilege
asked for is merely for the purpose
of supplying a spur track. other peo-
pie who claim to understand the sit
uation say that the new branch is of
great importance to the railroad peo-
pie, as it is to be used as the termina-
ton of the Long Beach line. The board
held the application over until an eX-
animation of the route can be made.

HOLDS AFFECTION MIspIREcTEo
Mrs. Minerva Chambers Granted Di-
vorce by Judge Allen

Her husbands alleged attentiveness
to his first wife's sister caused jeal-
ousy to pervade Mrs. Minerva Cham
bers' Pasadena home, and yesterday
Judge Allen in the superior court dis
solved the matrimonial alliance exist
ing between Mrs. Chambers and J. w.
Chambers on the ground of desertion.
Chambers was never forced to submit
to the conventional mother-in-law, and
consequently the love that he enter
tanned for his first wife's family re-
mained in his heart, all of which was
not in the least conducive to his Sec
ond wife's happiness, so Mrs. Chambers
says.
Judge Allen declared that the little
god of love had misdirected his darts
and Mrs. Chambers was allowed to
sever her matrimonial relations.

GETS DIVORCE BY
TALE OF CRUELTY
EIGHT CHILDREN WITNESSES
FOR MOTHER
Mrs. Mana sehaub Declares That Her
Husband Threatened Her With
Pitehfork and Carving
Knife as Weapons

When Mrs. Mana Schaub neglected
to apply the proper quantity of yeast
in mixing the biscuits for breakfast,
she says her spouse threatened to scalp
her with a tomahawk, and yesterday
she laid her troubles before Judge
Conrey in the superior court.
According to Mrs. Schaubs tale of
domestic infelcity, it appears that
when Schaub had occasion to pout at
his wifes management of the house
hold culinary establishment, he gener-
ally emphasized the force of his re-
marks by pounding her on the head
with a tin bucket.
The plaintiff was unable to tell the
court the date of her marriage. but
she insisted that it was probably in
the neighborhood of the '70s.
Mrs. Schaub says occasionally Schaub
would utter loud and hideous war
whoop. and he would attack her with
an ugly looking pitchfork, and Mrs
Schaub asserted that when the farm
ing instrument was not at hand, he
would use the family carving knife,
which reposed upon the top shelf in
the pantry.
On one OCCASION he succeeded, so the
witness testified. in carving off a por
ton of his sons chin, and the youth
exhibited scar in order to corrob
crate his testimony.
Eight children, ranging in age from
6 to % years, have been born of the
marriage, and the whole family took
seats in the anxious row yesterday,
all ready to corroborate their mothers
testimony.
Judge Conrey intimated that Mrs.
Schaub's life had been strenuous one
indeed, and the interlocutory decree
was granted.

REPAIRING OLD STATION
Arcade Building Not to Be Replaced
for Years

When julius Kruttschnitt, Seneral
manager of the Southern Pacific, Vis-
tied Los Angeles a month ago he re-
piled to query as to when a new Ar
cade station could be expected, that
the Arcade station was the least OF
his troubles. "There are too many
expenditures to be made elsewhere" he
said.
That the Southern Pacific expects to
see the present shack do years of SER
vice as it now stands is shown by the
improvements that are now going ON
in the telegraph department, situated
in the second story of the building.
An entirely new switch board has
been put in; all the wiring which up
to this time has been allowed to be
made open is now being placed under
meath the flooring; desks are being re-
fitted up and a different and more
presentable system of lighting has been
promised. 1t is possible that this Is
due to the determination of the chief
dispatcher, E. N. Brown, to have tho
telegraph department at the Arcade
station compare favorably with those
in other cities the size of Los Angeles
but the fact of his request being
granted bears out the report that fol
the present at least the old Landmarks
of early rairoading days is to remain
in existence.

RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE
RicycIist Severely Injured by Fast
Running Machine

r. A. Hernandez, an employe of the
Los Angeles Gas & Electric Co. was
run down and severely injured by an
automobile at the corner of First and
Vine streets yesterday morning.
Hernandez was riding his bicycle at
the time of the accident and was OH
the right side of the street. The auto
was a red touring car and was going
at high rate of speed in the direction
of Boyle Heights when it struck Her
nandez.
The occupants of the auto did not
even stop to ascertain the extent of
damage and the police are looking for
the driver.
The machine was said to belong to
a tourist who has had it stabbed for
some time at the Western Motor Car
company's building on South Hill
street.

COMPLAINS OF POOR TUNNEL
Application Is Made by Pedestrians
for Another Sidewalk

Better facilities for accommodating
the public in the use of the Third
street tunnel occupied the attention Of
the board of public works yesterday
afternoon. A petition, signed by about
seventy property owners living on the
west side of the tunnel, was presented
to the board.
The petition asked that a sidewalk
six feet wide be constructed along the
south side Of the tunnel. Such side
walk is now in use on the north side.
This arrangement would leave but
twenty feet for vehicles in the center.
There was some objection to the pro .
suggested that no change be made
excepting the construction of some re-
cesses at intervals of a few yards
along the north side of the tunnel.
Hills idea was that these recesses
could be used for people to escape into
in case there was a runaway team or
belligerent automobile coming through.
Your hole in the wall would make
a fine place for the hold-up man to
hide himself while he waited for VIC
Tins" suggested E. L. Blanchard
dryly. AS Blanchard is a member of
the board his remark placed the seal
of disapproval upon the hoIe-in- the.
wall plan.
The board decided to do nothing
about the petition until the situation
has been looked into carefully. Some
weeks ago bids for giving the tunnel
coat of whitewash were opened and
referred to the board. A recommends
tion will be made to the council Mon
day that the bid of the Pioneer Spray
ing company, to give the tunnel one
coat of whitewash every three months
for $50, be accepted.
Bids for street improvements were
awarded to II. ]. Mcguire, filling First
and Seventh street bridge sites, $1,000. 80

BOTH ARE DESERTERs
Wife and Husband Leave Each Other.
She Gets Decree

Alleging that her husband had a
thirst for liquor that would never die,
Mrs. Margaret Morgan was granted a
divorce yesterday in Judge Conrey's
court from Albert Morgan, on the
grounds of cruelty and failure to pro-
vide.
She declared yesterday that matri-
mony for one year is bliss, but beyond
that period it is otherwise.
According to the tale unfolded to be
court by the feminine side of the al
lance it apears that Morgan, contrary
to the rules customary in general
practice, carried his whisky to bed
with him.
On one occasion he entered into the
rip Van Wrinkle" state and remained
that way it is said for five days.
On April 1, 1899, Mrs. Morgan re-
solved to surprise her spouse, and it
being april FOOLS day." she told the
court that she acted with the pro-
priety which is customary on that day.
Morgan followed the example of his
spouse and left home.
AS both parties to the life's contract
had performed the same deed, Judge
Allen was almost determined to pass
the question up, but as last resort
instructed the clerk to toss up cop
per cent. He obeyed and the penny
fell to the floor heads up" 1t was
a lucky throw for Mrs. Morgan and
she was granted a divorce.

ADDS To CITY'S
BRICK EXPENSES
RAILROAD DEMANDS INCREASE
FOR HAULING
Troubles Of Sewer Committee and City
Engineer Concerning outfaIl Ma
terialt Not Yet at an End.
City Insists on Old Rate

Another hitch occurred in the pro-
ceedings leading up to the letting of the
new sewer brick contracts yesterday.
This time the railroads are blamed
for the delay. When the new brick
contracts were awarded, the Los An
geles Pressed Brick company, with
yards in Santa Monica, secured 1900, 600
brick.
A contract for the brick was awarded
the company with the understanding
that the Los Angeles Pacific railroad
would undertake to deliver the ma
terial at either Playa del Rey or Ingle-
wood at the rate of 81 per thousand.
Both stations are on the line of the
outfall sewer
Yesterday City Engineer Stafford
was notified by the officers of the rail-
road that they had discovered that they
could not deliver the brick at the price
mentioned. The company had appar-
emily decided that it ought to have S1.5O
for the transportation of the material.
This was based upon a figure of SIPS
for the hauling and twenty-five cents
for transferring the brick from the
narrow gauge road to the standard
gauge at Santa Monica.
City Engineer Stafford was asked
yesterday afternoon what he proposed
TO do about the change in rates pro-
posed by the railroad people. I'VE will
insist upon the fulfillment of the ar
rangement first proposed" said Mr..
Stafford. 81 have been in consultation
with Manager Clark today and think
the affair will be Strengthened out all
right"
When bids were opened for the brick
1t was found that the offer of the
Simons Brick company was $6.3S per
thousand delivered at Inglewood, as
against the offer of $685. by the Los
Angeles Pressed Brick company to de-
liver at Playa del Rey or Inglewood
To the latter bid 81 was added, making
s7.35 delivered.
InI order that all brickmakers should
be given share of the business, the
sewer committee was disposed to over
look the increase in price in the offer
of the Santa Monica concern.
If. however. the new rate were ac-
cepted and the railroad allowed 10
charge s1.5O. the price of brick de-
livered by the Los Angeles Pressed
Brick company would rise to s1.47 more
than the lowest bid made.
The sewer committee and the city
engineer feel that it is asking the city
to pay too great a difference for brick,
merely for the sake of letting in an
other contractor.

LOS ANGELES ACTRESS
SCORES GREAT SUCCESS
Fay Wallace Pleases Patrons Of the
Columbia Theater, Portland, by
Her Charming Personality

Friends of Miss Fay Wallace who
made herself great favorite in Los
Angeles by her work with the Belasco
stock company, are rejoicing i'm the
news received yesterday from Portland
that her first part with the Columbia
stock company in that city was a great
success. Miss Wallace was cast for the
role of Sweet Lavender" in the play
of that name and her opening night
there was January 5.
Another play was to have been put
on this week by the Columbia COM
pany, but i'm order to give Miss Wal
lace a role in which she could make
her debut to best advantage the man
agement substituted Sweet Laven-
der"
The following written by the drama
tic critic of the Portland Oregonian,
gives an idea of the impression she
made on the people of Portland:
Little Miss Fay Wallace made
her first Portland bow at the Column
ba yesterday afternoon and found q
swift way into the public heart The
play was Sweet Lavender which
Pinero wrote in one of his gentle, un-
complex moods-a beautiful pure little
play. and the atmosphere of it alto
gether suited the occasion of Miss Wal
laces first appearance with the stock
company. The part of Lavender
might have been written with her in
mind. The little girl in the play is an
innocent trusting. big-eyed dear whom
one must love for her very purity and
goodness. 1t does not require extra
ordinary talent to play Lavender
but it would seem to demand the ma
tural qualities which that sweet child
possessed. Miss Wallace is dainty,
pretty and bright. She will add greatly
to the general attractiveness of the
company, for she is going to be tre-
mendously popular with Portland
theatergoes.'
Other players well known to Los An
geles are gaining popularity in the
northern city. Howard Gould Joined
the company as leading man the week
before Miss Wallace arrived there.
William Bernard and Donald Bowles
are also old favorites here.

it is believed by the church committee that Blsbee should be able easily to support a rector independently. and the field i5 certainly one requiring the entire time of Mir. Shields.
 It twill be generally hoped that the meeting tonight will result in Bisboa securing the undivided work of Rev. Shields. who. as pastor of the P,esby- teriar church in this city for four years did so much in the community to win the higest esteem an6 the love or all with whom he came in con tact. regardless of religious creed CT sect.

Shields during his residence in this city. and his early return here will be cause for universal thanks. Ger tainly Bisbee can not afford to divide the time of Rev Shields with Doug las if there is a possibility to have his entire services here.
