bought 1t for $3,400. He had saved
5000 and trusted to luck to raise the
other 5000 with which to complete the

Blckford was left to find out their
ownership of the place by their going
into 1t. They did not deign to mention
the matter to him. This was the work
of the mother and daughter. John had
nothing to do with it.
John worked for the neighborlng
farmers, intending to save money out
of his wages to stock his farm with
chickens, but the crops happened to be
poor that season, and he got nothing
over bare living. The next season
was better, but the baby came, and the
coming of baby always Involves extra
expense. At the end Of two years John
had not stocked his chicken farm and
had got behind with his interest.
Mrs. Bickford would have appealed
to her husband, but from the time
Mandy was married the farmer be-
came more economical than ever, and
she dared not mention the matter.
Besides, she and Mandy had shown
their resentment that he had not mort

PREFER TRAINS ON TIME
"FIyers" with Broken Wings Do Not
Answer Needs

81 am of the opinion that what the
public relishes more than fast time is
trains being on time" Passenger Traf-
fic Manager Hanson of the Illinois
Central road is quoted as saying in dis
cussing the speed craze.
Adherence to schedule is the thing
to be aimed at" he continued. Amer
lean strenuosity has influenced the
railroads to reduce the running time
of trains to a point that in many in
stances is inconsistent with conserva-
tive and careful management.
"a train keyed to it's best has no
chance to make up lost time on ac-
count of delays incident to a trip of
even a couple of hundred miles, con-
sequently time lost is seldom regained
During the past, few years there
has been a feeling on the part of many
| railroad men that they must put fast
schedules on time cards even If they
cannot adhere to tn m.
''If a road is not in physical condi-
tion to make forty miles an hour II
would be more to it's advantage to
make thirty-five miles an hour, as 1t
finally becomes known that such a
road is attempting the impossible, and
the public acts accordingly.
1.-THE average passenger would pre-
fer to use train of ordinary speed
with the assurance it will arrive at
its destination on time.
"The flyer may look nice on a
colored folder, but when the passenger
comes to understand that the flyer
flies with one wing broken he begins
to figure on the road that does not
promise so much, but gets there reg
ularly"

POLICE FORCE is
AUGMENTED BY ACT
OF CITY COUNCIL
SEVENTY EIGHT MEN ARE ADDED
Bills introduced by Lawmaker Kern, Slated for
Next Chief of Police, Passed by Colleagues
with a Rush-Increased Liquor
Licenses Bear Expense

Los Angeles will, by grace of the city
council, get sixty-five additional police
men. four lieutenants and nine SER
geants.
The liquor interests will foot the bill
monthly.
At "a cost of about 100000 the city will
get this added protection for which q
continuous clamor has been raised
Saloons and restaurants must pay $25 a
month each for liquor licenses and
wholesalers SIS month each.
Though many efforts have been made
to increase the force, by a strange CO.
Incidence the lawmakers remained OBJ
durate until talk became prophecy that
Councilman Ed Kern would be chief of
police before the end of the year and
that he would insist on larger force.
Kern's accommodating colleagues
voted him the additional men, and by
the same courtesy shifted the expense
on the restaurants that sell liquor, the
saloons and the wholesale liquor
dealers.
Both ordinances went down the legis-
lative ways like ship at a launching.
President Green Protests
The bill to saddle SIS month more
on the wholesalers and SIS month
more on saloons and on restaurants
selling liquor had already been passed
when Mr.. Kern discovered that the
liquor men had one lone representative
on hand to watch in their behalf. This
man, President Green Of the whole
salers' association, asked permission to
address the council.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-06

The vote was promptly reconsidered
in order to give him a hearing.
Mr.. Green made a brief address, say
ing that while he was not counsel for
the wholesale dealers he felt it his duty
to raise a protest against additional
taxation. The wholesalers, he said,
were paying a fair share into the city
treasury every month for the privilege
of doing business here. They did not
have a specially prosperous year, and
to raise the license seemed to him like a
hardship.
Councilman Houghton said that from
the way the wholesalers stampeded to
get these costly licenses there evidently
was a big demand for them, and there
must be profit in the ownership.
Councilman Kern said the increase III
the force had been urged by the police
commissioners and the chiefs in the
past.
BY Unanimous Vote
Another vote was then taken and it
was unanimous, as was the vote on the
bill authorizing an increased force.
Messrs. Smith and Summerland were
absent from the meeting.
Under ordinance No. 13,450 the Los
Angeles police department is made up
OF four captains, eleven sergeants,
eighteen detectives, 1853 patrolmen and
telephone and Identification clerks,
matrons, guards, etc.
The license Office records show that
In October eighty-eight restaurants took
out licenses to sell liquor in Los An
geles, paying $50 month; eighty-one
wholesalers paid $50 q month for Ii
censes and 200 saloons each paid SIS.

POPULAR ACTOR
PASSES AWAY
TOM OBERLE A VICTIM OF
CONSUMPTION
Fought Against the Disease for Nearly
Ten Years-Was the Idol Of the
Burbank and BeIasco
Theaters

After long, hard fight, Tom Oberle.
the well known actor, Succumbed TO
tuberculosis yesterday morning. For
nearly ten years Tom Oberle has fought
a good battle against disease, but in the
end death conquered, and last night
there was many a kind word said fo'
the actor and friend both before anl
behind the footlights. In the Burbank
and the Belasco theaters many persons
in the audience recalled the time when
Tom Oberle 'trod the boards, giving the
best in himself in the various charac-
ters in both light and heavy work.
About seven years ago while in New
York, Tom Oberle was first obliged TO
give up his beloved work, and large
benefit was given him, enabling him To
20 to Arizona There he stayed about
six years. and organized travelling
company of actors who were there for
their health and Travelled throughout
the territory. Two years ago he came
to Los Angeles and Joined the forces OF
the Burbank, later going to the Belasco.
at both houses being one of the great
favorites.
The Tom Oberle benefit given at the
Relasco about year ago will long be
remembered I'm theatrical circles. After
that he again went to Arizona. but later
returned and resided at MonroVia with
his wife and young son.
Last June he returned to Los Angeles,
where he has since remained, residing
with his wife at 219 West Twenty-fifth
street
No arrangements have been made by
the actors, but 1t is expected that they
will attend the funeral in a body. The
funeral will be held Thursday morning
at 10 O'Clock from st. Vincent's church.
1t is expected that the body viii be
taken east for interment.
Besides his devoted wife, who nursed

REJOICE OVER
SALTON VICTORY
CONQUER0RS OF COLORADO
RIVER CONGRATULATED
HercuIean Efforts of Engineers in
Turning Waters Crowned with
Success-Harriman on Top
In Illinois Central

All Southern California is rejoicing
at the success of the efforts in shackling
the unruly Colorado river, in checking
the inflow into Salton sea and thereby
saving the Imperial valley.
Dispatches from New York say that
the Southern Pacific offices there were
advised that the break in the Colorado
river leading to Imperial valley and
Salton sea was effectually closed by the
engineers.
The old channel of the river is being
rapidly secured and will take care of
the normal flow of water.
The dam and levee are nine miles in
length and will be rapidly pushed to
completion and will take care of the
river above high water.
Telegrams of congratulation have
poured on President Epes Randolph of
the Southern California Development
company and his aids for their work.
Ever since the gates broke month
ago the skeptics have pooh-poohed the
idea that rock could be dumped into
the quicksands fast enough to curb the
mighty river. Day and night, at the
rate of a carload of huge boulders
every five minutes, the dumping process
has been in progress, every available
fiat car on the Southern Pacific, Santa
Fe and Salt Lake roads having been
impressed into service and every quarry
within 300 miles surrendering it's quota
of rock.
With the thousands of men and teams
on the grounds the battle finally went
in mans favor.
1t is expected that the Salton sea will
now gradually evaporate. 1t has been
estimated that under natural evapo-
ration two feet each year of the water

PROPOSES FINE FOR RLocKADEs
Councilman Raps the Santa Fe for
Obstructinq Streets

Proposing a fine of $10O day for
railroads that blockade the streets of
Los Angeles, Councilman Arthur D.
Houghton yesterday made a sharp ad-
dress in the Los Angeles council
against the Santa Fe's course in his
ward.
"Out in the Ninety-third precinct a
freight train blockade occurred a few
days ago, which made it necessary
for teamsters to go eighteen and TWEEN
ty blocks out of their way because
of the obstructing trains" said he
This must stop.
Last Saturday night 1 telephoned
the chief of police to force blockad-
ing train to move, but it is still there

The measure, at Councilman Kerns
suggestion, was referred to the board
of public works.

mile and heavy silk. Made up over
white taffeta Innings with interlinings
of white chiffon-another fad of the
moment-this gown was eminently sug-
gestive of it's designation, and suited
to the older woman for whom it was
designed. The bodice was a mass of
the same chenille embroidery that was
used on the skirt, but in smaller pat
tern, and few silver threads were
introduced into the design. A belt
pin of silver, set with yellow topaz
stones finished the belt at the back,
where it slanted up in sharp point
after the empire style. At the front
the belt OF chiffon panne velvet was
also pointed, but here the point was
down we'll below the waist line, though
not to an exaggerated degree. Yellow
chiffon roses ornamented the pointed
decolletage and a little chemisette of
fine white lace filled in the point and
was gathered by small yellow draw
string of No. 1 velvet ribbon just at
the top of the bust.
The above design is by the Mccall
company of New York, fashion pub
