DELAYS HIS OWL
CAR DECISION
HUNTINGT0N'S MAN NOW TOO
BUSY WITH POLITICS
Council Is Patiently Awaiting Re-
port From Special Committee
Which Is Putting Pres
sure on Dunn

Impatient at the delay Of Billy
Dunn to notify the special owl car
committee Of the city council of any
action on the part of MIR. Huntington,
Councilman Houghton, chairman of the
committee, yesterday called up Mr..
Huntington over the telephone to learn
what had been done.
When Houghton's name and business
was stated to the satellite who care
fully guards Mr.. Dunn from unwelcome
intruders. he was informed that Mr..
Dunn was mot in
Those close to Mr.. Dunn say that he
has by no means given up his idea
of granting the travelling public of Los
Angeles some kind of night service, by
order of Mr., Huntington, but that 1t
takes time to properly work out the
details for such a service and that
politics engrosses most of his time at
present and he is not ready to confer
with the pecial committee of the coun-
Gil.
Since he made the propoition of put
ting on treet car at 1870 o'clock and
2:30 O'Clock. Mr. Dunn has not been
heard from and 1T is supposed that he
still holds to the idea as a sort of
experiment to determine how much of
toilers of the night for a late car SER
vice.
If the two cars on each principal line
during the night prove that the COM
pany may maintain such a system
without serious financial loss, he has
promised that more cars will be added
until the full demand is supplied.
This full demand. as it now stands,
is for a car on all principal lines every
half hour after midnight.
The council at it's meeting Wednes-.
day did nothing to further the cause
of the owl cars. Since the special COM
mittee to confer with the railway pow
ers was appointed the council has pa
tiently awaited a report, but to the
regret of the special committee there
was mighty little to report.
The committee does not consider that
it has achieved any great victory by
simply securing from Attorney Dunn
promise that some kind of owl car
service will be instituted. 1t will be
ready to report when 1t can stick
plumes behind it's ears and say posi-
lively that there will be an "owl car"
service and that so many cars will run
on such and such lines at specially ap-
pointed times.
Council Has Power
But had 1t been inclined to take any
Legislative action toward securing "owl
cars" the council would not have been
in a position to do so Wednesday. The
city attorney advised that the meeting
was little irregular and 1t would be
unwise to pass any ordinance or start
the legislative machinery that intro
duces ordinances.
The council can do what it pleases
as far as securing an all night street
car service is concerned.
The city attorney has so advised.
Not only has Mr.. Mathews said that
the council had legal right to pass
an ordinance compelling night street
cars. but has declared that he person
ally believed 1t would be a good thing
if all night street cars could be Sc
cured.
The city attorney has frequently
come in on night trains and been COM

bitant sum and his meager salary as

Women Wage Earners.

Two young Boston women, students
at the University of Chicago. have set
before themselves the dificult task of
investigating the problems presented
by the gaiuful employment OF women
in the United States. So far as the
results of their inquiry have been
made available in the pages of the
Journal of Political Economy, they
are confined to an analysis of the facts
to be deduced from the census re.
ports; but some Of these results are
30 interesting that the student of So
cial economics will await the compile
tion of the study with impatience.
Feminine competition with men is
a subject on which 1t has been the
fashion to dogmatize freely. but the
actual material on which to base ex-
act conclusions is surprisingly scan
ty, and any labor which furnishes the
needed data Is labor well applied. 1t
has been often said, for instance, that
women's invasion Of fields of indus
trial activity hitherto restricted to the
male worker has increased the keen
ness Of the competition for a liveli-
hood, and whatever progress has been
made by women in enlarging the num-
ber Of gainful occupations open to
them has been at the expense of and
in the face of the opposition of the
men. Nevertheless, 1t has not been
demonstrated that women's work has
essentially altered in amount or in
tensity, and there is reason to believe
that even the changes in the charac-
ter Of that work have not been so
great as is commonly believed.

Much Needed Law.

After an agitation that finally won
to its support all but the owners and
breeders of coach horses and those
that. slavishly follow fashion the New
York legislature has passed by 4 very
large majority . bill to prohibit the
docking of horses tails and the i'm
portation into the state Of horses thus
mutilated- The New York Evening
Mail says: There Is no question Of
the merit and need of such a Law.
The docking Of q horses tail is .
senseless abasement Of Gods noblest
four-footed creature. 1t Is q repulsive
rs well rs q cruel outrage upon an
animal which repays brutality with
gentleness and good service. A fire.
quent argument against an anti-dock-
ing bill has been the assumption that
it would only serve to penalize breed
ers in this state, since purchasers
would buy their horses outside the
state and bring them in. The bill
passed by the assembly the other day
forbids the importation Of docked
horses. So far as the constitutional
ty Of such a provision goes, it need
only be said that II the state may
prohibit the importation of harmless
oleomargarine and Of lawfully killed
game birds. 1t must certainly possess
the power to shut out MANNED beasts.
Another argument against the law
has been that q spirited horse may be-
come impossible to control IL he is
able to throw his tail over the reins.
In answer to this claim 1t is only
necessary to say that spirited horses
should only be driven by competent
drivers. and that good driver does
not allow the reins to get out Of his
control"
