operated on all the lines all night long.
If the street railways do not want to
keep their machinery buzzing con-
stantly the committee will gladly ac-
oept motor cars or hydraulic cars as
substitutes for troleys.
Persons who are compelled to stay
down town late at night cannot be ex.
pected to raise a reasonable objection
TO the nature of the cars so long as
they have cars of some kind They
will be reasonably happy if they are on
a light car, moving in the direction of
their homes and arrive sometime be-
fore morning. The change from be-
ing compelled to walk three or four
miles in the middle of dark unpaved
street, furtively watching every tree
to see that some highwayman is not
lying IN wait for them will be such
relief that no complaints are likely to
be heard from the passengers on the
late street cars, even If only team of
leisure-loving mules is the motive
power that drags the cars along.
Favored by City Officials
Every member of the city council
and every city official, almost without
exception, have expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of the late street
car service.

have granted on ihIa subject the fol-
lowing arc taken at random:
"The size of the city now demands
all night car service. Mayor owen

"Of course we need an all night car
service. ."-Councilmn Barney Healy,
member of the special committee.
This city has reached a point where
it can afford to adopt some such metro
politan airs, and all night cars would
meet my hearty approval"

HAD A GLORIOUS TIME,
BUT GLAD TO GET HOME
r. A. ROWAN AND HIS FAMILY
RETURN
Well Known Real Estate Man Says
Their European Tour Was Enjoy
able, but That the Climate of Los
Angeles Cannot Be Equaled

R. A. Rowan, the we'll known real
estate man of Los Angeles, accom-
panied by his wife and child, yesterday
returned to Los Angeles after having
spent four months in touring Europe
in his $4,000 Mercedes automobile Inn
mediately upon their arrival they took
apartments at the Alexandria, of
which Mr.. Rowan is part owner.
The arrival of Mr.. Rowan and his
wife yesterday came as a great sur
prise to their relatives and friends.
Although Mr.. Rowan would not admit
it, it is believed he and Mrs. Rowan
planned to drop in upon their Angeleno
friends unheralded, as no one, so far as
is known, had the slightest intimation
of their coming.
"Yes, indeed, we enjoyed our trip
immensely" said Mr.. Rowan when he
arrived at the Hotel Alexandria yes
terday afternoon. 1T was one of the
most pleasant times we ever spent in
our lives. Europe is a great country
for automobile driving.
1--WE made every known automobile
trip in Europe, including the famous
Paris-Berlin run. Our machine, an
$4,000 Mercedes car, stood the trips.
wonderfully. We made no efforts at
record breaking runs, therefore we had
no accidents, repair bills or doctor
bills.
Climate Better Than Europe's
But, with all the charms that
Europe possesses, there is no place
like home, sweet home. Los Angeles
for me every time. The climate and
everything here is delightful. / must
admit that I am surprised at the cool
climate you have here. We simply
burned up coming over the desert. AS
for Europe, it's truly delightful. but
Los Angeles is far ahead of her in de-
lightful and preferable climate"
During Mr.. Rowan's absence the
Mission Indian grill has been added to
the fashionable Hotel Alexandria. No
sooner had Mr. Rowan registered and
sent bellboy to assist his wife and
child to their apartments than he re-
tired to the grill room, escorted by
Manager IS. j. Whitmore Of the Alex
andria.
IT'S simply beautiful" exclaimed
Mr.. Rowan. "This surely is a pleas
ant surprise. There is nothing more
attractive in this country or Europe"
From the grill room Mr.. Rowan went
to the barber shop across the corridor.
This, like the grill room, had been
completed during his absence Mr..
Rowan Immediately ensconced himself
in one of the large chairs and gave
orders for a shave, haircut, massage,
shampoo and tonic, and called boot
black and the manicurist.

Reuan.stanton Weddlna

Miss Mary Margaret Stanton, daugh-
ter of T. e. Stanton of 1927 Halldale
avenue, was married yesterday morn
ing at O'Clock to Joseph M. Regan
at the Church of st. Agnes, West
Adams street and Vermont ave-
nue..
The bride wore a dainty gown of
white organdie and lace and her bou-
quet was of white carnations. For
her going away costume she chose pale
gray cloth with a charming white and
gray hat.
The maid of honor, Miss Sadie STAN
ton, was dressed in a gown of white
lawn trimmed with lace and she car
ried pink carnations. The brides fa-
ther gave her away and James Regan
stood with the bridegroom. Elwood
Stanton and Bert Martin served as
ushers.
Rev. T. II. Mcdonald of st. Vincent
church performed the service and
Misses Edith and Katharine McGinn
had charge of the wedding music. Pink
and white was the color scheme fol-
lowed out in the decorations of the
church. After wedding breakfast at
the BRIDES home the couple left for
a two weeks wedding trip, after which
they will be at home at 1880 Thirtieth

larity by adding his voice and vote to
the demand for "owl cars"
Although If it becomes necessary to en-
act legislation to secure the all night
car service there is no doubt how each
member will vote, every councilman
hopes and believes that legislation will
not be necessary. A resolution is now
in the hands of the committee of the
whole for consideration This resolu-
ton demands that thel city attorney
draw up an ordinance compelling the
street car companies to operate street
cars later than now is the case. The
authority of the council to pass such an
ordinance is unquestioned. City At
torney Mathews has declared that the
council has full jurisdiction in such a
case and it may compel the street car
companies to operate their lines all
night and at any stated intervals it de-
sireS.
The council has no idea of being un-
reasonable, even should Mr.. Hunting
ton not see fit to comply with the re-
quest of the special committee. An
hourly service on the principal lines is
all that will be asked of Mr.. Hunting
ton and when these principal lines are
within two or three blocks of each
other only one line need be operated.
Any Kind of Power Acceptable
The kind of cars is not specified
either. The special committee recog-
nizes that it is not healthy for ma
cihnery to be run constantly and 1T will

Committee Will Hold
a Conference
Tomorrow
Council Is Ready to Pass
an Ordinance if
Necessary
Practically Every City official Ex-
presses Himself as Heartily In
Favor of Owl Cars on
Principal Lines

The special "owl car" committee of
the city council next Saturday morn
ing will visit H. E. Huntington and
respectfully request that he place an
all-night street car service on the prln-
cipal street car lines of his own free
will and accord and not force the city
council to pass an ordinance compelling
him to do so.
This date for the conference was ar
ranged yesterday by Chairman Hough-
ton and Councilman Kern, who are
members of the special committee.
Houghton was anxious to get down to
business at once.
I'VE might as we'll do it today" he
said. Il feel confident enough Of the
ultimate success of our undertaking to
guarantee that within the next thirty
days we will have owl cars running In
Los Angeles. Come on, Kern; let's
hunt up Healy and go after Huntington
and his attorneys now"
Better not go now" cautioned Kern.
Huntington has just returned from the
east, or, at least, he is expected back
today, and he will have so much to oc-
cupy his attention the first day he is
back that we might not receive the
consideration we desire. 1t will take
several hours to satisfactorily adjust
this business and we had better give
day morning seems to be about the
best time, in my judgment, and l be-
lieve we can have a long and satis-
factory conference then"
Great Confidence Expressed
Houghton finally agreed to this, al
though he was anxious to be up and do
ing at once.
Il feel confident that all we have to
do to get owl cars is to ask for them,'
said Houghton, land believe we could
have had them long ago if a committee
of the city council or any other public
body had called on Mr.. Huntington in
the proper spirit. feel sure enough to
guarantee that within a month we will
all be riding in owl cars"
The committee hopes that one con-
ference will be sufficient to convince
Mr.. Huntington that the people of Los
Angeles are anxious for an all-night
street car service and that the city
council is determined that the people
shall be accommodated. There have
been times when the council has been
accused of not being as eager to Sc
cure the peoples rights as they should
be, but there are few circumstances
surrounding the demand for "owl cars''
that will insure the activity Of the
council on this measure. 1t is rapidly
approaching election time and the
clamor for a late night street car
service is a popular and universal de-
mand

"Oh no." replied Patrolman Gardner,

One of the employees attempted to

tables and order a fiVe-cent sandwich
