Charles S. Moore who will be re-
membered by many as the kind and
obliging salesman at j. W. fuckers
Clothing store has gone home to his
eternal rest. After hard fight against
the life-sapping ravages of tubercu-
losis, the dissolution took effect a lit
tie after twelve o'clock Friday. His
untimely death is regretted by large
circle of friends. He had been in fail
ing health about year, four months
of which he was unable to leave his
home. The deceased who was in his
25th year of age, was the son of the
late Isaac Moore of this town. Am
bilious to succeed, he started in the
mercantile business working a while
for the late Henry r. Spruance and
later for w. A. Winford. Seven years
ago he accepted position in the cloth
ing store of John W. Tucker, which he
continued until his health broke down
last March. He was bright boy, full

BUSY MAYORALTY BEE BREAKS
FRIENDSHIP OF KERN AND SMITH

These be the days when the busy
little mayoralty bee buzzeth around
each shining bald head Of the council
and whon each city legislator trusteth
not his ueighbor. 'Tls even so with
Councilman Damon" Smith and Coun-
Gilman "Pythias" Kern.
Although Smith is a staunch Repub-
lican OF the anti-McAleer type and
Kern is a good old-fashioned Thomas
Jefferson Democrat, the two have been
the warmest of friends and one seldom
makes an important municipal move
without first consulting the other.
But both have their eyes fixed on the
mayors chair and now things are be-
ginning to take a different turn. At
the meeting Of the council Tuesday
Smith and Kern were at loggerheads
on two different occasions while the
other councilmen sat up straight and
took notice.
one of the clashes came over the de-
mand of the Santa Fe for spur track
between Santa Fe avenue and the river
bed. Councilman Kern is chairman Of
the board of public works, which rec
commended that the Santa Fe's request
be granted. Councilman Smith is chair
man of the finance committee and feels
the burden of the provisional deficit

PLAN MT. WILSON INCLINE
Company Incorporated and viii Build
Railway to Summit of
Hidh Peak

Mt. Wilson is to have a railway to its
summit if the plans of the Mt. Wilson
Railway company, which was incorpo-
rated yesterday, are carried to compile
ton. The new railroad will start in
the city limits of Pasadena and will
be approximately fifteen miles In
length. Electricity will be the mo-
tive power of the cars which make the
ascent and part of the climb will be
made by cable, similar to the Mt. Lowe
incline.
1t is designed to purchase the right
of way of the Pasadena and Mt. Will
son Toll Roard company and the route
of the road will follow the new trail
UP the mountain. The company is cap
italized for 100000. of which $4,000
is paid in
Thousands of tourists make the as
cent of Mt. Wilson each year for the
purpose of visiting tine observatory To-
Gated at the summit and promoters of
the line say there seems to be little

DRIVING WHEEL OFF,
LIMITED IS SAVED
Passengers on Southern Pacific Train Have Mar
row Escape-Many Owe Their Lives to
Bravery Of Engineer Warrington

Scores of passengers on the Southern
Pacific's Sunset limited train, which
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday aft
ernoon, probably will never realize
what narrow escape they had from
injury and possibly death.
Seemingly by some special act OF a
providential lind the huge engine, No.
1885, pulling the train. was held upon
the track after a journal had broken
cleanly off, allowing one of the drive
wheels to go bounding along in the
ditch by the side OF the track.
Engineer G.. II. Warrington stuck
bravely to his post when he knew that
at any moment he might be carried
to almost instantaneous death in the
ditch. The train was brought to n stop
with n jerk that nearly threw the pas
scngers from their seats, for the en-
gineer had applied the air brakes and
reversed the engine at almost the same
instant.
The Sunset Limited, train No. Q
west, runs from New Orleans to Los
Angeles, carrying many through pas
sengers, and is due TO arrive here at
1856 p. m. It was a little late yes
terday and the trainmen were making
an endeavor to pull into the Arcade
station on time. Just before the city
limits were reached the engineer and
fireman heard pounding Of loose rods

very keenly. Therefore he is anxious
to have franchises sold in order to re-
plete the treasury. Largely for this
reason he opposed the granting Of the
franchise and succeeded in having It
held UP for one week and a rehearing
named. Chairman Kern took Chair
man Smiths opposition as a personal
aspersion and the two exchanged slaps
on the wrist.
The second disagreement was over
the lighting OF East Ninth street, a
part OF which is In Councilman Kern's
ward. Smith wanted the entire propo-
sltlon filed until after the beginning OF
the fiscal year and Kern wanted the
property owners given the privilege Of
placing the ornamental posts and
awaiting the beginning of the fiscal
year for the Juice" Smith succeeded
in having it filed, but Kern had 1t re-
considered and voted on.
This resulted in the two looking un-
utterable things at each other from be-
meath their heavy eyebrows.
Both Smith and Kern are in the
hands of their friends" as far as
making the campaign for mayor.
Smith expects to run on the Republic
can ticket and Kern on the Democratic.
and city hall officials are making even
bets on the result If both enter the race.

institution was giving the largest the
ater party that has ever been given in
the state of California. 1t was the
fourth annual party given by the pro-
prietor Arthur Let's to his employees,
and the only theater party proposition
that has ever obtained such conces-
sions from the management of the Or
pheum.
Before 6 o'clock last night when the
Broadway closed it's doors, over 1900
tickets had already been given out,
and there were only some twenty tardy
recipients of the benefaction to be
heard from.
To the right of the stage in the fam
lily circle sat Arthur Let's himself,
wideawake as ever, and near him in
the front row was his beautiful gray
haired mother. Occupying the boxes
and the logeS were not the head men
and women of the establishment, but
the cash boys and the bundle wrap
pers. The theater was decorated by
d. w. Metcalf of the same firm. with
large banners extending along the up
per boxes in the familiar styled letter
of the Broadway department store, and
banners in white satin trimmed with
smilax ranging along the lower tier.
The regular program of the house was
carried out, and the hit of the evening
occurred when the first sketch was pre-
sented and Mile. NARROW asked M.

JOHNSON FAILS
TO SEE THE JOKE
POLICE BOARDS PLAY TOO
SUBTLE FOR MEMBER
Fine Sense Of Humor Of One Mem-
ber Not Touched by Proceedings
Regarding Houghton's Red
light Crusade

The fine sense Of humor OF Police
Commissioner o. r. johnson refused to
be tickled by the little joke perpre-
trated by the commission Tuesday
morning when 1t authorized Doc
IToughton to suppress the social evil in
two weeks.
II didn't see any joke in IT," said
Mr.. Johnson yesterday. "I seconded
the motion to give Houghton the
authority to suppress vice in this city
and was perfectly serious in the propo-
sition. l am willing that Houghton or
any other man who offers can try his
hand at it and see what he can do. If
il was joke 1t failed to appeal to me
as such"
Commissioner Mason considered it in
q spirit of levity, as he acknowledged
yesterday.
Commissioner James reiterated yes
terday his statement of the day before
that 1t was intended as a choice bit of
humor and he did not think 1t was
necessary for the commission to label
its funny business for the benefit of
the newspapers.
Mayor McAleer was still impressed
with the delicate humor that pervaded
the situation but was not inclined to
discuss the subject at any length.
Commissioner Gates was not present
at yesterdays meeting, as he no longer
Is a member of the board, having
handed in his resignation to take effect
the first OF the year.
Tuesday morning was the first time
the mayor has even admitted that
Gates was no longer q member of the
board aud he did it then only by in
nuendo.
He appointed Commissioner johnson
on committee and said:
You will have to do double duty
now, as you are the only Republican
left on the board. James and Mason
are both Democrats. Gates was the
second Republican on the board

and, realizing that something was
wrong, made every effort to stop the
train as soon as possible.
When they climbed down from the
cab they found that the engine lacked
one of the drivers, and marveled at
the fact that they had not been tossed
to nn almost certain death
Had the track been less smooth or
less straight, or had Engineer Warm
ington deserted his charge, the train
men say, the engine would have
toppled over on its side and gone
plunging down the embankment.
Men, women and children, uncon-
scious of the fact that some of them
had undoubtedly been near death.
came tumbling out of the cars to find
out why such a sudden stop was made.
Few of them, after they had seen ths
disabled engine, seemed to realize
that they had just had most fortu-
nate escape.
Not until the station was reached
and they were told by railroad man
who was also a passenger that disas-
trous wrecks have resulted from SINH
lar and smaller accidents, did they
fully comprehend how fortunate had
been their escape.
A switch engine was hurried to the
scene and the train was brought to
the station after a delay Of two hours.

In Identifying and Labelling
Stolen Property

Plumbers tools, carpenters tools. ex-

tions of steel drills and automobile

Value were found yesterday by Detec-
tiVes McCann and IeiEler in the rooms
OF Ihomas Lee and Arthur McGinnis,
poth OF whom were arrested late Tues
day night on charges of burglary.
The boys, aged 10 and II years. re-
spectively have confessed to the bur-
glary charges, and yesterday afternoon
We're detained for several hours I'm the
detectives office labelling their plunder
as to the places and from whom 1t had
been stolen. Neither of the boys is
making any effort to cover up his
alleged crimes.
Apparently delighted, they sat on the
floor of one Of the private offices in the
detective bureau and picked out piece
after piece Of property and attached
tags to them. Occasionally a quarrel
would occur when they were not GER
tain from whom the goods had been
stolen. Then they would settle down
and laugh over their experiences. The
thing that seemed to be further away
from their minds than anything else was
term in the city prison or the reform
school.
1t is said by the detectives that Lee
and McGinnis are two of a gang of
boys that have been robbing houses
under construction in the Westlake dis
trict According to the police, there is
bad gang of these youthful burglars
operating in this city and all are sons
of citizens Of Los Angeles.
Clever as Professionals
In their modus operandi they are
more clever than professional crooks.
They are harder to deal with than
those older in this business, say the
detectives. They watch every automo-
bile that stops where they hang out.
Automobile appliances which are most
expensive the boys steal first. If
machine is left standing for any length
of time unmatched they will boldly
take away the steam gauges. electric
registers and any OF the tools that they
can carry off.
Lee and McGinnis live at the corner
of Union and Westlake avenues. When
the detectives entered their rooms yes
terday morning they recovered the fol-
lowing articles:
One electric gong from University of
Southern California, seven large plumb
ers' toches from Pico and Ninth streets,
one small plumbers torch from near
