RAILWAY WINS IN COURT
Decision Rendered by Judge Wilbur
Gives Interurban Judgment in
Eminent Domain Case

Judge Wilbur handed down a de-
cision yesterday in the case of Joseph
Burkhard against the Los Angeles In
terurban Railway company, finding in
favor of the defendant.
The decision is an important one,
for it involved the right of the rail-
way company to build it's tracks across
the Mcdonald ranch, which lies be-
tween this city and San Pedro.
The plaintiff, who purchased the
ranch from the Mcdonald heirs, asked
that the railway company be enjoined
from operating its line over his land
and heavy damages were also asked
for.
The court holds in the opinion that
the railway company had an agree
ment with the Mcdonald heirs for the
construction of tracks across the dis
puted land and that this right passed
at the time of the agreement between
the parties.
The plaintiff in this case bought the
ranch subject TO the contract with the
railway company and therefore his
only remaining right is to recover the
actual value of the property taken un-
der the law of eminent domain. Judg-
ment is accordingly given to the plain
tiff.

Mason Opera House

For this afternoon, Nance O'Neil will
present "Magda," one of her most sue
Cessful interpretations, and for this
evening she has reserved the play in
which she captured Boston, "Monna
Wanna" presented for the first time
III this city. In this particular pro-
duction Nance ONeil has achieved a
triumph seldom given to an American
actress. She has been able to present
a foreign play written in a foreign at
mosphere, but with characters so in
tensely human that they appeal in
stinctivey to all classes of auditors.
III "Monna Wanna" Nance O'Neil has
a play which will outlive Camille" a
play of intensity, tragic acting, that
holds its hearers with awe approach
ing reverence. Tonight is the only
presentation of this play during the
Nance O'Neil engagement. Tomorrow
night, THE Jewess."

Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth" YVES
changed to a comedy of errors" last
evening at the Mason opera house.
Poor Nance O'Neil-was ever maid sc
sore oppressed?
With stage manager who had lost
his cue book. a curtain call that
sounded like an electric gong gone mad
and prop hooks that went on strike, it
was indeed a sorry hour.
From the time the curtain went uC
on the first scene until it rang down
OH the tragic ending there was one
round of mistakes which would be I'M
pardonable even in a high school pro-
duction.
Through it all one woman-Nance
O'Neil-stood out. One member of the
company succeeded at times in relev-
ing the situation by being a Lady
Macbeth worthy the title.
The applause which even the gallery
denied the other members of the COM
pany was given throughout to her, and
at times the audience was made to for
get the mistakes of the many by her
acting.
When the curtain fell the auditors
waited and when it came time for il
to be raised again they still waited
Ushers were called and questioned rs
to the delay. Behind the scenes there
was chaos and every sound made by
the scene shifters was heard through
out the entire house.
The curtain rang up and rang down
again on scenes unfinished and every
one from the manager to the curtain
boy seemed to have lost his senses.
The witches scene brought forth
shouts of laughter as the fire light OF
the cauldron flared up and revealed The
trap door through which the various
characters made their entire and exit.
Could the immortal bard have seen he
might well have wished the day still
here when there was no change OF
scene.
1t was $50 o'clock when the first act
was finished and almost 12 o'clock be-
fore the death scene was concluded.
In this last Nance O'Neil deserves
unstinted praise. Her work in spite
of the trying experiences through
which she had been was the work of
an artist. Every line of her face and
motion of the body revealed the suffer-
ing of Lady Macbeth" in her fall.
Miss O'Neil and her management
have one cause for congratulation, the
audience was small Much as Angel
enos love Shakespeare and Ben Greet
says there is no other city in the world
where he is so much approximations
performances of Macbeth in one
month are too much.

CANFIELDS ARE
WITH THEIR DEAD
REC0RD-BREAKlNG RUN FROM
MEXICO ENDS
Family Physician Meets Mourners
With Auto and They Immediately
Go Into Retirement in the
Stricken Home

Worn out by the record breaking
journey from far away slao, Mexico
c. A. Canfeld, husband of Mrs. Can
field who was brutally murdered last
Saturday by her former coachman.
Morris Buck, arrived in this city yes
terday afternoon exactly at o'clock.
The bereaved magnate was accom-
panied by his two daughters. Mrs. j.
M. Danziger and Miss Florence Can
field, j. M Danziger, Mr. and Mrs. E.
l.. Doheny and DR.. Norman Bridge.
AS the grief-stricken members stepped
from the private car Estelle of ID. l..
Doheny they were conducted to an
automobile which DR.. j. II. Davisson
the Garfield family physician, had
there waiting for them. The party
was at once driven to the palatial resi-
dence of Mr.. Garfield on Alvarado
street where the crime was committed.
What took place in the home which
has suddenly and rudely been robbed
of the wife and mother is known to
only the members of the family No
one intruded. No one but the most in
innate friends and relatives have been
allowed to enter there and view the
body of the murdered woman.
DR.. Davisson stated yesterday that
ing up bravely, but the nervous strain
which they have undergone since the
news of the tradegdy reached them is
very evident.
Funeral Thursday
The funeral services to be held over
the remains of Mrs. Garfield will take
place Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
at the dead woman's late residence.
Late last night it was stated that
Francis Murphy would conduct the
services.
Only members of the family and the
most intimate friends will be permitted
to attend the services, and view for the
last time the body of the woman who
was so brutally murdered.
The interment will be strictly private.
In a cell in the city prison, guarded
closely by the jailer and two TRUSTEES,
is Morris Buck the murderer of Mrs.
Garfield. In order to bring him to
the most perfect physical and mental
condition possible, he is being treated
as an honored guest instead of the
felon he is. For acts which other pris-
oners would be punished he is not even
reprimanded. No formal complaint has
as yet been sworn against him. This
legal phase of the horrible crime will
not be inaugurated until the insanity
examiners have completed what they
say will be the most thorough eXamina-
tion ever made.
Rest for Buck
Not one of the felon's most intimate
relatives or friends have been permitted
to see him. Complete rest for Buck
is the course that is being followed
out to the letter by the police and Jail
authorities. This is done for the pur-
pose of establishing that the murderer
is sane, as well as to establish that
he is mentally unbalanced.
The sisters of the murderer have de-
clared their intention of engaging the
best legal talent and make a strong
fight to save the man from the gal
lows.
They, as well as William Buck the
lnurderer's brother are convinced that
Morris is suffering from insanity, and
that the horrible crime which he COM
mitted was wholly unintentional

Germany Sees Tariff War
Through Republicans
Controlling House.

BERLIN, Nov. 8.-The consistent Re
publican Victories in the American cleo
lions, especially in the Congressional
fights, are extremely disappointing TO
Germany. Many of the newspapers
take the view that d tariff war betw cen
Germ any and the United states will
begin next yeaI as a result
A Democratic victory was desired by
the German government in the belief
that the Democrats would reduce tile
protective tariff and promote German
American commercial treaty.
Baron Sternbure. the German am
bassador 70 the United States. a year
ago advised Germany TO be patient and
renew the existing treaty professionally
as the election would reveal the Amer
lean nations desire to meet Germany
half way. Accordingly the agreement
was continued IL effect until June 30.
1907, without Germany receiving amy
reciprocal advantages
Now Baron Sternbmg's prophecy has
proved wrong and Germany must sub
nit to the disastrous effects Of the
American tariff while giving the United
States the most favored nation terms.
Attacks or the government for weak
ness and bad judgment in view of the
election results are made by many OF
the papers.
