FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED
Woman Brings Action Against Ell Paso
G Northwestern Railway
Conpanv

NO'hPd''J
Is the pain inflicted by a scratch on
womans spinal bone worth $4,000?
This is the question that will shortly
trouble a jury in the superior court, as
soon as the suit filed yesterday against
the El Paso & Northeastern Railway
company is assigned to a court room.
The woman in the case is Emma
Young and her action against the little
Texas line threatens TO arouse consid-
cradle argument.
According to the papers in the suit
the defendant claims to have been a
passenger on the tourist car of the
Northeastern on February at o'clock
in the evening. At that time the train
was going from a point on the eastern
edge Of New Mexico and was between
the towns of Carvjxozo and Alamo
gordo. Just prior to the time the heavy
rains of New Mexico had taken place
and had caused considerable damage
along the line and in many places had
softened the roadbed. In the particu-
lar case mentioned in the suit the
train is alleged to have been going al
the rate of forty miles an hour, when IL
struck one of the weak places in the
roadbed and was derailed.
The defendant alleges that at the
time Of the derailment she was in the
tourist car, which was thrown into a

BUSINESS MEN To
FIGHT ORDINANCE

SALOONS
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE NAMED
Entire City Will Be PoIIed and Deter
mined Opposition Made Against
Adoption of "No=Saloon"
Measure
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE NAMED

The Business Mems association, an
organization composed of some of the
leading men of the city, representing
good portion of the commercial and
mercantile side of business life in Los
Angeles, will take an active interest
in the election to decide upon the adop-
ton of the no saloon ordinance June 2.
At a recent meeting of the association
an executive committee was appointed
to direct the campaign in opposition to
the ordinance, composed of the follow
ing well known business men,
Walter Newhall, chairman; Frank
Hicks John H. Norton, Hancock Ban
ming, Reese Llewellyn, Joseph Schoder,
James Gunner, H. E. Graves and Will
liam Lacy.
Speaking of the campaign a member
of the association said
This ASSOCIATE is composed of lead
ing business men of the city, none of
whom is in any way interested in the
saloon business, the Royal Arch or any
interest connected with the saloons.
The decision to make a campaign in
opposition to the ordinance was made
because we believe it is opposed to the
best interests of the city. Our fight is
not for the saloon, but for the business
interests of the city and for building it
up instead of tearing it down. An ac-
tive, open and fearless campaign will
be waged."
A canvass of voters has been going
on for some time and will soon be COM
pieted

She claims she was rendered uncon-
scious by the fall and when she came
to she found that her tibia bone had

was due to the negligence of the own
ers of the road in not repairing the
roadbed, and accordingly thinks that
