BUYS CHURCH TO GET LICENSE
Central Avenue Man Makes Strong
Effort to Open a Pool
Room

Robert Furlong applied to the police
commission last evening for permission
to open a pool and billiard hall at 2515
Central avenue.
This is the same district where r. S.
Maynard was denied the same privilege
by the police commission May 3. May
nard's application for a license brought
out storm of protest from the congre-
cation of a small church In the neigh
borhood where 1t was proposed to
establish the billiard room, and scent
ing the same opposition to his applica-
ton Furlong purchased the church
property, Iaying $4,000.
With the church out OF the question
he evidently believed 1t would be an
easy thing to secure his license, for he
owns practically the entire block where
he intends TO conduct the billiard hall
But Commissioner Mason opposed IL
vigorously and the case was laid on the
table for a week.

DISASTER HASTEMS WEDDING
Civil Engineer Decides to Take No
More Chances and Weds
Sweetheart

j, Carl Thayer, a we'll known civil
engineer formerly of New York city
and at present employed by the Los
Angeles railroad company, was quietly
married to Miss May Morrell of Visalia,
Cal. yesterday afternoon in the bridal
chamber of the Angelus hotel.
The marriage of Mr.. Thayer to Miss
Morrell is due to the disaster in San
Francisco on April IS. Miss Morrell
and her parents were then in the
stricken city and owing to the fire and
earthquake moved back to their for
mer home in Visalia.
A short time ago Mr.. Thayer met
Miss Morrell in Visalia and a warm
friendship sprung up. Coincident to
the Morrells removal to Visalia Mr..
Thaye1~ was detailed to take charge of
the construction of the sugar plant at
that city.
While in Visalia the horrors of the
seismic disturbance in the Golden Gate
city was so impressed upon Mr.. Thayer
that he decided to take no more chances
without the companionship of the
young woman whom he had chosen to
become his wife.
The ceremony yesterday at the Ange-
lus was performed by Rev. DR.. Young
of Indiana street of this city. Only
the most intimate friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thayer were present.

PLAN BOYCOTT
OF PENNSYLVANIA
TATTLERS' CLUB is CAUSE OF
TROUBLE
OFFICIALS Of other Roads Endeavor to
Keep Unrouted Business From
System-General News
of Railways

According to reports from the east
there is now a movement on foot to
boycott the Pennsylvania by the other
lines as a result of the unusual activ-
ity of the Tattlers' club of the system
and to keep away from il, as much as
possible, the unrouted business.
An eastern paper says that the club,
which is made up of some of the
higher officers of the Pennsylvania,
gave information to the Interstate
Commerce commission when the officers
of any other line were caught violating
any section of the interstate law.
Traffic officers profess to have discov-
cred that the Pennsylvania has been
running something approaching a de-
tective bureau for the discovery of lax
ness in methods on the part Of any
competing line.
These representatives are said to
have inquired constantly into the
methods of competitors and at once to
have sent the information to headquar-
ters at Philadelphia. The whole diff
Guilty goes back to the passage of the
Elkins amendment to the Interstate
law. This clause, it is stated. in the
Elkins amendment was written by
President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania
and 1t was understood at the time to
set every officer to spy on the officers
of other roads.

Advices from Davis, 1. T., state that
the Santa Fe and Rock Island are
about to enter into a building war in
the territory in order to secure the
business from rich grain and coal
district.
Reports state that the coal strike did
not cause the business of any roads to
fall off but that on the contrary there
has practically been a car famine dur
ing this time. This is unusual at this
time of year, which is considered the
dull season on account of being the
time between the period of marketing
the old grain and the harvesting of the
new crop.
Pennsylvania officials again have up
for consideration reducing the running
time between New York and Chicago

CHIEFS PLEADINGS IN VAIN
AubIe Recommends Liquor License
for Spring Street Chinese
Restaurant keeper

Because he is not we'll informed on
the peculiar rules of the police commits
sion, William Chong, whom Chief Auble
designated as quiet, genteel Ameri-
canized Chinese, was denied a restau-
rant liquor license for his place at 24O
South Main street and his patrons will
have to struggle along somehow with
out American beer with their chop
suey.
In his report to the commission the
chief expressed himself as surprised to
find that theatrical and sporting per-
sons and others whom he naively de-
scribed as those who stay up late, had
contracted a remarkable hunger for
chop suey and Chinese noodles. Ac-
cording to the chief, these persons are
the principal patrons Of the various
Chinese restaurants.

VERNON CITIZENS
GET A HEARING
Police Commissioners Readily Consent
to Reconsider Granting Saloon
Permit to William Schness
of Central Avenue

The residents of Vernon, headed by
Rev. William Davies, were out in force
last evening to protest to the police
commission against it's action of last
Tuesday evening when w. M. Schness
was granted a wholesale liquor license
for 5722 Central avenue.
1t is the old fight against the liquor
business in Vernon which the residents
of that district have Waged for sew
eral years and which was brought
about by the conduct of place known
as the Phoenix club, which was put out
of business about three years ago.
Rev. Davies presented a protest
signed by several hundred residents
of Vernon and which measured nearly
six feet in length.
neighborhood had had notice that the
case was coming up for consideration
and knew absolutely nothing about it
until they read in one of the morning
papers that license had been granted.
AS IL is a necessary part of the
granting of license of this kind that
those entitled to protest shall receive
notice by mail, it looked a little like
bad faith on the part Of the police
commission until Commissioner Hagan
readily moved that the action OF the
commission be reconsidered. 1t was
reconsidered and the case laid on the
table until next Tuesday evening, when
Rev. Davies promises to have the en-
tire population of the Vernon district
crowded into the commission room.

DEPUTY SHERIFF FINDS ROAST
CHICKEN IN PAIL
Sherman Woman Says Five Of Her
Blooded Hens Were Sacrificed
TO Make San Pedro
Holiday

It's an i'll wind that blows no good,
according to an old and reliable proverb,
and such proved the case late Sunday
afternoon when Mrs. e. r. Swaney of
Sherman stepped into the rear yard
of the Swaney residence and shifting
at the air distinguished the odor of
burning feathers In a strong southwest
wind, blowing from the direction of
her neighbours kitchen.
Deputy Sheriffs Holman and Del
Val were called to the back yard and
they also shifted the air and were able
to distinguish the fact that the burn
ing feathers were chicken feathers.
With the clews well in hand they hur-
ried toward the odor and arrested
John Barrett, Frank O'Donnell and
Charles Starr, who will be tried this
afternoon before Justice Moore Of
sherman on charges of chicken steal
ing.
The story of the arrest of the alleged
chicken thieves will be told this after
noon in the township court by the
officers, when Deputy District Attor-
ney John North will conduct the
prosecution.
Mrs. Swaney has a small chicken
ranch at Sherman, while Barrett lives
next door and is proprietor of small
tSldDllSllliltilNs AiOhSlll6
ly employees of grading outfit.
Fowls Are Beheaded
Several weeks ago Mrs. Swaney had
little trouble with Barrett because
the Swaney COWS were milked dry ev-
cry morning before any of the mem
bers of the household were up.
But the worst trouble of all occurred
Sunday morning when Swaney went to
the hen house to feed the birds only
to find that five of his best pullets,
three black Minorkas and two Barred
Rock hens, had been ruthlessly slain
during the night by marauders who
had simply taken the fowls from the
roosts and yanked their heads off
without even the formality Of carry
ing the heads away.
When Swaney looked about he saw
the heads resting on the ground and
the sightless eyes of his chickens

s7ABS OFFICER
DURING STRUGGLE
PRISONER INFLICTS WOUND
WITH RUSTY FILE
PatroIman Mojonier Receives Painful
Injury While Taking Man Ar
rested on Suspicion to
Central Station

Patrolman Mojonier was stabbed in
the back by a man whom he was at
tempting to take to the central station
last night. During a terrific battle
with Charles Williams on East First
street the officer sustained a painful if
not serious wound.
The officer found Williams at Ala
media and First street and told him
he was under arrest on suspicion.
Williams started to accompany the
officer, but. according to Mojoniers
report, suddenly drew a long sharp
pointed file from his pocket and vi
ciously plunged it into the patrol
mans back.
Although weakened by loss of blood
and surprised'at the sudden onslaught
Mojonier held to his prisoner and a
struggle ensued that drew a crowd
to the scene.
Fearing an attempt at rescue, Mo-
JOINER blew his whistle and started
for box to ring in call at the sta
tion.
The patrolman dragged his prisoner
with him, the crowd keeping close be-
hind him.
Although blowing his whistle several
times for help, there was no other Of
ficer in sight but the patrol wagon
soon appeared on the hurry call. With
the assistance of the wagon man, Will
liams was hustled into the patrol and
sent to the police station and booked
on suspicion.
Mojonnier went into the hospital to
have his wound dressed.
The rusty file made a deep cash and
the physicians feared that 1t might
result in blood poisoning.
Williams may be charged with as
sault with A deadly weapon as the re-
suit of his vicious attempt to injure the
natrnlman.

EQUIP ROAD WITH STEEL TIES
Done by Corporation as Practical
Test

Managers of steel corporations are
doing all in their power to convince
railroad managers that steel ties are
better than wooden ones for railroad
building. President Corey of the United
States Steel corporation sometime age
sent circular letters to the heads of
railroads calling their attention to the
good points of steel ties and he is now
going a step farther and will equip a
line with them.
The Bessemer & Lake Erie is the
property of the corporation and forty
two miles of its tracks will be laid
with steel ties. The managers of the
road have experimental for two years
with them on a small scale and they
believe that they will be equally sue
cessful on a longer stretch of track.
Managers of other roads do not seem
to take kindly to this kind of ties for
they claim that it is not elastic enough
to allow fast trains to run over the
track with comfort to the passengers.

The New York Commercial is re-

Surveyors, pushing lines across
Wyoming for the Burlington, have
completed a survey from the south side
of the Big Horn River Canyon through
Carbon and Fremont counties to a juno
tion with surveys made north from
Denver through Fort Collins. The line
affords an easy grade through Wyom-

about the Burlington's determination to
build north and south through the state
