Supreme Governor of Organization Is
Delighted With Los
AnueleS

S. Galeski, supreme governor of the
American Guild, with headquarters at
Richmond, Va, arrived in the city
Tuesday on a tour of inspection of the
branches of the order throughout the
country. The only official change re-
sulting from the visit of Mr.. Galeski
is the appointment of Frank H. Home
Pacific coast manager to succeed c. p.
Dandy, who has resigned.
This is Mr. Galeski's first visit to the
coast and he expresses himself as very
much pleased with all he has seen of
Southern California.
Next to the wealth of flowers I find
here, the thing that most impresses me
is the combination of sea and noun
tains," he said. "It was wonderful
down at Venice, to stand there on the
shore of the blue Pacific almost within
the shadow of your purple mountains.
Richmond is a city of beautiful
homes, as is your city, but there you
see no frame houses inside the city
limits. The building restrictions. per-
NIT only stone and brick structures"

geles, Hollenbeck, Moneta, Watts, Saw

"chimes of Normandy"

Well trained voices and pretty faces
helped to make the Chimes of Nor
mandy" at the Mason last evening a
pleasing production, and the interpola-
ton of gags with local hits by the COM
edian Jared with the pretty music.
Blanche Bryant, member of the
company with sweet voice, fair
face and some dramatic ability, had
the role of Serpolette. Miss Bryant was
not in the cast at the opening perform
ance of the Abbott-Bryant company
and she was a notable addition. Anna
Baumann was Germaine, the lost
marchioness, and j. Francis Abbott had
the role of Henri, marquis of Corne-
vile. The music of the orchestra was
especially good.
Tonight the company will present
"The Mikado."

RAILROAD BRIEFS

The Pennsylvania road is burning up
10000 old freight cars that have passed
their days of usefulness. Among the
discarded cars are those of small
capacity and ones which were built be-
fore fast freight schedules were ever
thought of. 1t is considered cheaper to
destroy these cars and build new ones
to replace them than it is to try to re-
build or repair them.
The Union Pacific has en- route to
San Francisco seventy cars of printing
presses for use in the new printing
offices.
The Santa Fe has authorized the
building of large electrical cranes at
the San Francisco terminals for use in
handling the large amount of steel that
will be used in rebuilding the city
Most of the steel will come from Pitts
burg.
A short line, shorter than the present
short line. will be built to Pasadena by
the Pacific Electric The time will be
materially reduced because the greater
part of the new line will be over private
right of way.
There are said to be over 1000 car
loads of coal at present on side tracks
of roads centering at Chicago which
are paying demuTrage. Such conditions
as this have never before existed.
e. w. Gillett. general passenger and
freight agent of the Salt Lake road, ac-
companied by Mrs. Gillett, left yester-
day afternoon on the Los Angeles
Limited for Chicago for short busi-
ness visit.
The Chicago Subway company has
secured financial backing in New York
Seventeen million dollars worth of
bonds were placed on 5 per cent
basis.
Philadelphia advices state that the
interstate commerce commission in
tends to make some drastic recommen-
dations following it's recent investiga-
ton. In reference to the Pennsylvania
railroad disclosures 1t is possible that
the minority stockholders may take
some action. A dispatch from Pitts
burg is to the effect that one of the
largest minority stockholders believes
that only through such investigation
can the minority secure fun informa-
tion
Statistics show that S4,0OO,OOO ties
were used last year by steam railways.
Thirty-six per cent of this number were
used in building new track.
The Salt Lake will tomorrow inaugu-
rate its new branch service. Many
extra trains have been added to the
schedule and accommodations will be
furnished for all who desire to visit
Terminal Island. The bath house and
other facilities there have been re-
modelled and put in good condition.

POOR SERVICE
HAMPERS CITY.
TOURIST CRITIClSES ABSENCE
OF OWL CARS
New Yorker Says Los Angeles ls City
Of Great Future, but Growth
In Suburbs Is Retarded
by system

The absence of owl cars in Los An
geles was evidenced much to the dis
comfort of hundreds of visitors during
the Fiesta. From many Of these COM
plants were heard and several who
came here from eastern cities expressed
their disapproval Of street car sys-
TEN without the owl car service.
Among many of the more prominent
visitors who discovered that Los An
geles did not have owl cars was Sidney
Lester of New York city. In express
ing his views he said in part:
"If the street railway companies
realized the good that is done, both to
the individual and the community, by
owl cars, 1 have no doubt they would
be put on. When 1 learned that Los
Angeles, with its thorough up-to-date-
ness in every other line, did not have
owl cars 1 was surprised. 1 know Of
no city in the United States of the size
of Los Angeles that does not have this
service, and until | was informed of
the contrary L fully believed Los An
geles was not whit behind the times.
ITO the average person owl cars sug-
gest that they only help q man home
who is compelled to be out late at night.
While that Is very true and in itself
is one reason why they should be in
vogue, there is still another reason why
owl cars should be installed in every
city of any size.
Citizens Demand Service
"Owl cars can do much toward rails
ing the moral standard of a place. For
instance, q man who is accustomed to
keeping late hours and often not going
home at night but remaining in some
disreputable place, because he has
missed his last car will get home If
he has the means to do so. He will
limit his carousing in many instances
to l or o'clock if he must carry on
in that manner.
"Talk to any of these men, whom
one may see many examples of on the
streets every night, and nine out of
ten Will tell you he prefers to go home.
I'm the large eastern cities the au-
thorities will not permit the street rail-
way companies to take off their cars
at certain hour in the night. The
citizens at large demand it in order to
induce men who otherwise would re-
main out all night to go home where
they belong.
Every effort should be made to Sc
cure the owl car system. Every cit-
zen in the community should rise to
action and they'll win out. Until this
has been done Los Angeles cannot hope
to rank as a first-class city. Los An
geles has now so many more desirable
features than any other city in the
United States that the absence of owl
cars is nothing short of shameful.
There is a great future before Los
Angeles. It's extent cannot be estimated,
but it is apparent that this city is des
tined to become one of he greatest
municipalities in the world. Let nothing
retard that movement. Owl cars is
one of the steps in that direction. By
all means secure them at the earliest
opportunity"

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-A woman
known as Mrs. Annie Moore was
found murdered today in a room mt
Second street. She had been horri-
bly, muCilated.
The jueular vein was severed, the
windpipc was almost cut through, tho
breast was badly slashcd and the

the police on suspicion He ran up
to two detectives at Second street

told them he had just gone to his
home and thought his sister-in-law
was dead The police hurried to tho
house and began to investigate.
Moore told the police he and the
woman. who was 80 years old, had
been living together for seven years.
The woman, he said, was the widow
OF his brother. who died ten years
ago. No one in the house could he
found who had heard sounds of a
struggle.
The horrible wounds found on the
wonians body recalled-at once to The
minds of the police and doctors who
were called the Jack the Ripper"

An investigation by the police
showed no signs of a struggle, and
they concluded that the woman had
been attacked in her sleep.
