SOUTH PARK PEOPLE
THROUGH WITH APPEAL S
NO HOPE GIVEN THEM BY EITHER
COUNCIL OR MAYOR
Attorney Goudee Suggests Plan by
Which City and Railway Gould
Jointly Convey Lease to a Third
Party and Permit Cars to Run

The residents of the South Park
district have made their last appeal
to the city council for aid in renewing
the operation of the car service on the
avenue. They have presented their last
suggestion to the city's legal depart
ment. They have pleaded in vain with
Mayor McAleer. Now the committee of
twenty-five, which represents the resi-
dents of that portion of the city, are
wearing a determined expression and
holding secret meetings. The delibera-
tions of these meetings are carefully
guarded, but they make no secret of
the fact that they are after Mayor Nc
Aleers scalp and that when they are
ready they will announce plan which
they believe will take portions of the
city by storm.
One of these executive sessions was
held Monday evening after the last
appeal had been made to the city
council for relief, but all the details
of their plans were not worked out,
owing to the absence from the city
of NJ M. Dawson, chairman of the
committee. Another meeting will be
held Thursday evening and after this
meeting the committee will be ready
for some decisive action.
Assistant City Attorney Goudge sug-
gested a plan for the resumption of
car service yesterday that has not yet
been fully discussed. 1t is a modifi-
cation of the lease idea and to the eff
feet that both the city and the railway
company could join in a lease to a
third person.
"By executing a joint lease of this
character neither side would be jeop-
ardized any more than the other. If
we recognize the right of the railway
to execute a lease the railway should
recognize that we have a similar right.
A stipulation might also be made in
the lease that it should not be used
by either side to prove any case in
court This is the most liberal policy
1 can suggest and if the railway is
half as anxious to continue the esrvice
as the city officials are the wheels
would be turning on that street in an
hours time"

FALLS HEIR To
LARGE FORTUNE
DRESSMAKER WILL RECEIVE
$815,O00
Mrs. S. e. DoWdeII Inherits Money
From Estate of Uncle Who, the
Family Believed, Died Many
Years Ago

From the life of a dressmaker in re-
duced circumstances with no prospect
of chance for the better. to the heir
to $S15,0O0, left by an uncle whom she
had supposed had died in his youth, is
the story a day in the life of Mrs. S. e.
Dowdell of Los Angeles.
L. Hilton, a miner, the uncle who
proves 10 be the fairy godfather of
the story, left his home in Maine and
went to sea at the age of IA years.
Nothing was heard from the lad and
it was supposed that he had died.
Recently the family received word
that the relative had died in Colorado,
leaving an estate valued at $25,00000O
Last week Mrs. Dowdell was notified
of the windfall and the amount to
which she has inherited.
The money will come as boon to the
plucky little woman who has cared for
her family since the death of her hus-
band, fourteen years ago.
Mrs. Dowdell has been separated from
her two sons since coming to California
soon after the death of the husband and
father.
The youngest son, George, Sne mas
not seen since that time, he having
grown to be a young man and is now
staying with relatives in the east, at
tending college. The elder son. Fred,
visited his mother and sister two years
ago and is now employed by a South
Dakota newspaper.
Will Reunite Her Family
Mrs. Dowdell was accompanied here
by her six-year-old daughter, who is
now a beautiful young woman, Mrs.
Lillian Calendar, who is an accom-
plished artist and who has also won
plaudits on the stage.
"Oh! such a struggle l have had to
raise my family" said Mrs. Dowdell
when seen last evening at the Hotel
Argyle. 'It is such relief to me to feel
that can have the money, for can do
so much good with it in helping my
family. 1 can give each of my children
$50, 900 and still have more than plenty
for myself.
"Since the death of my husband four
teen years ago I have been obliged to
be separated from my children on ac-
count of lack of means"
Mrs. Dowdell expressed the hope that
the family would soon be reunited in
Los Angeles. She expects to invest the
money she will receive in Los Angeles.
