Property Owners In Northwest Section
Confident Of Early Enjoyment Of
Better Railway Facilities.
Surveyors at Work

aurveyors have been busy for several
weeks in the northwest section, be-
tween Los Angeles and Hollywood, and
property owners have been speculating
on big plans by railroad magnates who
are believed to be figuring on establish
ing a network of electric railway lines
In that quarter.
Graders have been busy for some
time on the West Sixth street extern
sion, and there seems to be no ques-
ton that the bonus raised by the prop
erty owners will carry that line ulti-
mately into Hollywood, and, as has
been frequently pointed out, such a
route offers decided advantage for an
extension to the beach and for branch
line into the San Fernando valley
through Cahuenga pass.
100000 for Acreage
J. Frank Bowen and associates have
purchased from the Suburban Improve
Inent company eighty acres adjoining
Athens-on- -the-Hill, on the north, the
same being on the Gardena division of
the Redondo electric line and fronting
on Main street, Moneta avenue and
Figueroa street. The extension of the
Moneta avenue electric line will pass
directly through the tract. Considera-
ton $60,000. Mr. Bowen will improve
the tract and place it on the market
next fall.

NAVY BLUE SERGE FOR
ALL SORTS OF OUTINGS
oREssY LINGERIE BLOUSE ALSO
NECESSARY
Holland or ccIored Linen Worn In
stead of Washing Froeks, Which
Cannot Be Done Up at the Sea-
side
BY Beatrice powIer
Ihle to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-A grave fault
which most people make when at the
seashore is having too many trunks
with them. The accommodation in sea-
side lodgings is generally so restricted
during the month of August that one
might as well expect to stow three or
four dress boxes in the cabin of a yacht
as In the tiny rooms Of villa for which
a rapacious landlady makes an eKor-
bitant charge. Another mistake which
is frequently made is that of providing
nothing but washing gowns and light
summer attire. Those who have suf-
fered from the depredations of the sea-
side laundress, and have had their
cherished linen and muslin gowns re-
turned to them in sodden and crum-
pied condition know only too we'll the
futilty of omitting dark-oclored wear
ing apparel.
Navy blue serge is almost indispens-
able, and the woman who spends much
time away from home is never without
costume of this description. A use
full supplement to the serge coat for
those who have restricted their holiday
wardrobe is represented by the dainty
little embroidered linen on lawn collar
and revers edged with Killed frills
which can easily be made at home and
washed in ones own hand basin, and
which give to the costume in question
less workmanlike and more summery
appearance. The addition of a dressy
lingerie blouse or front, instead OF the
simple morning shirt, makes an effec-
tive ensemble for smarter occasions.
The same consideration of the in
adequacy OF the seaside laundress
should weigh with the visitor where
the question of washing frocks is con-
cerred and for this reason il is better
to chose holland or colored linen in
preference to the all-white gown. Sail
cloth brown is capital color for the
purpose. as well as striped blue and
white or green and white, while 1t is
well to remember that when the skirt
and coat become limp or crumpled they
can be considerably freshened and re-
stored by damping with gum arabic and
water and pressing with hot iron.

Court Restraints Political Boss Frem
Oustine District Attorney.
San Francisco, Oct. 30.-As a result
of proceedings in the superior court,
District Attorney w. H Langdon was
judicially recognized as the incumbent
Of the Office to which Abraham Ruef,
the political boss of this city, was last
week appointed by Acting Mayor Gal
Iagher in Langdon's place.
Langdon holds that his office is con-
stitutional and beyond the interference
Of the mayor. The acting mayor gave
as his reason for suspension that Lang
don had neglected his duty to stump
the state as the Independence league
candidate for governor.
The action Of Acting Mayor Gal.
lagher in suspending Langdon came as
a tremendous surprise, following the
sensation of few days ago when II
was announced that Francis J. Heney,
who had been appointed by Langlon
as assistant district attorney to inves
tigate the charges OF grating by pc
Iitical bosses, had found evidence
against Ruef and Mayor Schmitz
Ruef is known as the political boss Of
San Francisco, while Schmitz Is serv
ing his third term as mayor, having
been elected BY the Union Labor par
ty. The mayor is IN Europe on a va
cation.
1t is conceded that the suspension o.
Langdon was made to get rid 81
Heney, who was discharged by Ruef.

wHIPPANY BOYS CLUBS.


The second season of the Boys
Club Of Whippany commenced with
the annual meeting Of the Young
Mems Athletic Club on the first of
this week. These Clubs, the Senior
and Junior Athletic, were organized
in February, 1906. The reports show
that during last years season, from
February to July. there were seventy
young men and boys VINO visited the
Club. OF these seventy, fifty-three
were enrolled as members. The
treasury shows balance Of over
one hundred dollars Whipponong
Hall Is used as the gymnasium, and
the downstairs rooms as game and
reading rooms. Last year the club
purchased dumb-bells, Indian clubs,
horizontal bars, and basket ball. The
games and reading matter were sup
piled by the kindness of different
residents Of Whippany. The initial
steps in the organization of the clubs
were taken by Mrs. H. G. Reynolds
and Mrs. w. w. McEwan. The pre-
liminary expenses were paid by the
McI1wan Brothers and H. G. Ray
nolds. After the work was started it
found friends in all directions, w.
w. Cook, DR.. Wheeler, Edwin Wilson,
G.. e. Petit, George T. Freeman, Miss
KShipman, Mrs. w. F. Agar, Of Whip
pany. and Eugene s. Burke, of Nor
ristown. Later still. the work was
called to the attention Of A. X. Ely,
Of New York, who sent check for
one hundred dollars, and of Jonathan
w. Roberts, both good friends Of
Whipponong Hall in the past, who
sent a check for fifty dollars The
officers and managers of the clubs
and the people of Whippany wish to
extend their thanks to both of these
gentlemen for their many kindnesses
to u.s. We have received support and
kindness all around, not forgetting
the cordial help Of the young men
and boys.
The Athletic work is conducted by
the Rev. James F. Horn, who gave
the boys at least two nights Of his
time every week during last season,
This help is Invaluable, and is great
lily appreciated by the managers and
the boys. without it, the club would
be almost an impossibility In open
ling the present season, the managers
find that there are many needs. We
know from last years report that
there are at least seventy young men
and boys in the village who have
heretofore, had no place to which
| they could go to find those legitimate
amusements which 1t is right that
they should have. It il hoped that
I BY supplying this need, the standards
of citizenship and Of character may
be raised. The Gymnasium Hail Il
not adequately heated, one pot stove

tion did not go far enough and offered
as an amendment, that committee

their position on the question. MT.

politics in an offensive way. Ii we
want to improve things we must rec
ognize a political government and
must see that proper men are elected,

should not dodge its responsibilities
and candidates should be eager to tell
their position.
Mr.. Griswold thought the questions

they were soon hidden from sight ex-

sent down TO try to reach the dead
bodies in the coaches.
Later a wrecking crew arrived on the

Bridge Tender Loses Reason.
The man who may best be able to
tell what caused the accident is Dam
iel B. Stewart. the bridge tender,
whose work it IS to look after the
drawbridge. Stewart. however, Ia in
no condition to talk, The horror OF
the accident has so upset him that be
Is temporarily bereft of his reason.
Stewart is sixty-flve years old, and the
shock may end his life before he is
able to give his evidence.
He was the only person who witness
ed the plunge Of the train with its hui
man cargo from a close point of van
tage. The scenes which followed caus-
ed him to lose his reason, and when
he was found hours afterward he could
not tell a rational story.
The motorman. Walter GafScott, was
drowned. The conductor ]. o. Curtis,
and the brakeman, r. B. Wood, es-
capped.
As the train bounded along over the
bridge. with never a. hint to the un-
suspecting passengers that death would
come to many so suddenly, all at once
the forward coach luRchsd, the ponder
GUS wheels leaping the rails and COM
ing down upon the ties. Swerving to
the left, the coach dragged the others
after 1t and plunged over the edge into
the water. Although the tremendous
weight of the first car dragged the 9TH
ers off the rails and pulled the second
one into the water with It. the third
coach struck a heavy ahutment and
was left momsntarily suspended.
AS soon as the first coach was pre-
cipitated into the water there were
hideous screams Of men, women and
children. Caught like so many rats
in trap they were thrown in heaps,
and what little chance these might
have had to escape was cut on by the
wild scramble which ensued.
The scenes at the place Of the wreck
and in the morgue were heartrending
Women shrieked and tainted as they
recognized some loved one among the
dead and others threw themselves up
on the bodies of the relatives and had
to be dragged away by main force.
The stories Of the survivors who bat
tied for their lives or who rescued
others are graphic tragedies.
