TELLS HISTORY OF GLASS
Rene r. de Quelin Reads an Interest,"
ing Paper Before Friday
Morning Club

cart Glass and Its History was the
subject presented to the Friday Morn
ing club by Rene F. de Quelin. The
paper read was delightful and compre-
hensive.
Drawing the attention of his audience
to the fact that glass is an important
factor in the comfort of the human
race, Mr. de Quelin pointed out the
various uses to which glass Is put and
gave an account of its history from
more than 5000 years B. c. until the
present day.
In speaking of the place and mall
ner in which its was first brought to
the attention of man, he said:
an the British museum is a piece
of glass bearing the mark of ruler
who lived 1904 B. c. The Venetians
used glass in various fancy forms es
early as 700 B. C. and the Assyrians
and Persians were among those who
were acquainted with its use about
the same time"
The speaker touched upon the artis-
tic value of certain specimens that are
found in the great cathedrals and other
ancient buildings of note. A collection
of glass articles representative of diff
ferent historical periods was used in
illustrating the lecture.
In. the lot was one piece said to have
been in existence since 1000 b. c.

RAILWAYS WILL
ADOPT FENDER
HuNTINeToN's REPRESENTATIVE
VISITS MAYOR
Life and Limb Saving Devices to Be
Attached to Every Street Car
Operated in Los
Angeles

Mayor McAleer will recommend to
the city council Monday that an ord
nance be passed providing for the
equipping of all street cars operating
in this city with a particular make of
fender.
This action results from a two hours
conference between Mayor McAleer
and w. r. Dunn, attorney for H. r..
Huntington, held in the office of the
mayor yesterday morning.
This is the first case in the history
of the present administration when At
torney Dunn has visited Mayor Nc
Aleer, the mayors well known hostil-
ity to the Huntington interests making
formal calls not exactly pleasant for
those who have to visit his honor on
behalf of Mr.. Huntington.
Mayor McAleer has been deeply in
terested in the fender question. Pc
titions have been secured sufficiently
signed to invoke the referendum to
compel the street car companies to
equip with tenders, but these are being
held in allegiance, awaiting some action
by the council that will obviate the
necessity for a special election.
The particular fender to be used will
probably be the one known as the
Eclipse. The mayor with H. e. Hunt
ington and a number of street railway
officials tested a number of tenders last
week and the Eclipse is said to be the
one the mayor favored. Railway Of
ficials have declared the mayor and
council need only name the particular
make they favor and all street cars
will be equipped with them.

Southern Pacific Desires
Portion of Fifth
Street

The Southern Pacific ran up against
a stone wall In the persons of the MEM
bers of the board of public works yes
terday when 1t asked that body to
abandon the portion of Fifth street
from Central avenue to the Arcade
station.
The Southern Pacific intends to en-
large it's depot and build it flush with
Central avenue, cutting off the half
block that now separates 1t from that
thoroughfare, and petitioned the coun-
Gil to abandon Fifth street In order that
the railroad might use it.
In the good old days before March
1, when the council had jurisdiction
over such questions. the Southern Pa
cific would have received everything
it asked for with a request to take
more. Those days have evidently gone
by. however. There was a protest from
a number of property owners on Firth
street. east of Alameda, however, who
declared the large depot would cut off
their use of Fifth street on the east
side of the Southern Pacific tracks and
asked that Fifth street be not
abandoned unless the new depot would
include a permanent passageway for
pedestrians through the depot and a
foot bridge over the tracks from the
depot to the west line of Alameda
street.
Judge J. w. Mckinley, who has en-
gineered most of the Southern Pacific
deals through the city council. ap-
peared before the board yesterday on
behalf of the Southern Pacific and
seemed a little surprised when the board
refused to at once order that half
block of Fifth street abandoned. He
had never before encountered opposi-
ton from city officials.
Judge Mckinley refused to pledge
himself to see that the demands of the
pretestants were granted, declaring he
had no authority to do So but offered
to take the question up with the Of
ficials at San Francisco and see what
could be done about 1t.
The board told him to have some
sort of answer by next Friday, when
the case will again come up for hearing,
and from the stand taken by the board
yesterday it is probable Fifth street
will not be abandoned unless the rail-
road agrees to provide the passageway
demanded.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS NOW
SEEK FA VORS OF CITIZENS
Santa Fe Would Erect
Freight Sheds on
Avenue

The Santa Fe railroad yesterday
asked the board of public works to
abandon that portion of Stephenson
avenue, between Santa Fe avenue and
Merrick street, in order that 1t might
fill the territory with freight sheds.
This request was met with vigorous
opposition by property owners of the
vicinity who filed lengthy protests with
the board of public works.
Among the protestants were the Nc
Stay Supply company, j. H. Spires,
Charles M. Stimson and Attorney 2. >.
McNutt, who represented number
of property owners.
REPRESENTATIVES of the Santa Fe told
these protestants that the railroad
company was willing to do anything in
reason to overcome the prejudice
against abandoning the street and of
fered, in the name of the railroad. to
open, widen and improve any other
street in the neighborhood that would
do as well as Stephenson avenue at this
point. President Anderson of the board
here put himself on record as opposing
the closing of any thoroughfare unless
one equally as convenient was opened.
The Santa Fe has bought consider
able property in this vicinity and rep
resentatives of the railroad yesterday
tacitly agreed to buy whatever prop
erty the protestarts might have to sell.
Before the hearing was over q large
number of property owners had agreed
to hold a conference with the Santa
Fe attorney at his office this morning,
when it is possible that all objections
will be satisfactorily arranged.
A further hearing of the case Will
be held before the beard next Friday
afternoon.

DIVORCE CASE POSTPONED
Attorneys Attempt to Make Things
Warm for Wealthy New Mexico
Catteman

The divorce case of Effie L. Jones
versus Walter A. Jones, the wealthy
New Mexico cattleman, was yesterday
continued for a week in department
three of the superior court.
Attorney w. A. Harris appeared, stat
ing that he sought to occupy the posi-
ton of friend of the court rather than
that of attorney in the case. He stated
that it was his wish to have the facts
involved made known. The defendant,
so he stated, had lived with the plain
tiff as her husband when she was a
mere child and should be held re-
sponsible for the support of the child
born to them.
The contention of the defendant is
that the plaintiff was married to a
man named Stowe, a resident of New
Mexico, and never was legally separ-
ated from him. Court records of New
Mexico are offered to prove the truth
of this assertion.
