Organization for Handling
Mining Stocks

One hundred and fifty mining men
whose interests are chiefly in Navada met
In the banquet hall of the Alexandria
hotel last night and decided that Los An
geles is the logical site for the establish
ment of a stock exchange, the object OF
which will be to take care of Nevada GER
tificates and all other creditabe stocks
from surrounding states and territories
The meeting lasted only about twenty
minutes.
M. j. Monnette of the American Ma.
tlonal bank was the chairman and F.
Heron the secretary
The first order of business was the
hearing of the report of the committee OF
fifteen, into whose hands the project of a
new exchange had been entrusted p. w
ROSS the chairman of this committee
SAID that two meetings had been held
and the general plan widely discussed
the result being the recommendation thai
stock exchange be organized. and thai
its membership be limited to 2O0 ar s2O(
per seat.
Mr.. Ross suggested that a committee Of
seven be named to act upon ali appIica
tons for membership in the exchange
sand the IDEA was Immediately adopted
Chairman Monnette, however. did moi
name his committee of seven last night
1t was obvious that the suggestion was
made in order that wild CATERS and ali
others under suspicion of dealing in
transient" stocks might be disbarred
After this item was disposed of those
present were asked to sign paper which
amounts to application for membership
in the new exchange. About seventy-five
responded, but until the committee of
seven has passed on the names the list
will not be given out officially.

Council Will Soon Discuss

1t is up to the property owners south of
they will consent to a complete changing
of names of streets and of house numbers
in their district. The council will shortly
discuss the question.
The postoffice authorities have been
clamoring for years because of confusion
over mail; the city engineers department
has recommended 1t and in a few days
tile board of public works will be asked
to pass on the problem
Various petitions for changing isolated
street names are hanging fire on the Is

For several years the question has
bobbed up and once was nearly decided by
the council, but property owners stormed
the city hall protesting. it was near cleo
ton time and the subject was dropped.
The absence of City Engineer Homer
Hamlin from the city and the vacation
season for several of the draughtsmen has
delayed work in that department on a
new report which is in preparation. Mr..
Hamlin is now back and will push it. His
right hand man, Horace N. Taylor, who
prepared the report several years ago,
feels the same way about it now and it
will suggest comprehensive scheme Of
changes when called on to do so.
This will necesstate changing the num-.
Der on every house facing an north and
south streets extending from Jefferson to
Forty-seventh street and changing the
name of every east and west street be-
tween these same lines.

lima.
Major Smith has the credit of organizing
the cadets three years ago with thirty
members. The membership now is 120.
At the reunion last night Major Smith
presided He opened the exercises with
happy preliminary speech regarding the
camping of the cadets and the advantages
derived from discipline in camp life.
J. c. Warren, for whom the camp at

addresses. He said mat it was the

WIRE NETWORK FENDER.
PRESENTS NEW FEATURES
CRANK ENABLES MoToRMAN TO
FOLD UNDER CAR
Inventor Claims That II VIII Pick Up
a Horse as Neatly as It VIII a
Man--Intended for Inter.
urban Use

At the Harrison Machine Works, III
North Main street, there is model OF
the new invention of William r. Gardner
which will probably solve the street car
fender question for all time.
The great trouble heretofore. has been
that although provided with renders the
cars running into the suburbs of Los
Angeles were compelled to lose time aIter
leaving the city limits by reason OF the
fact that the motorman had to stop and
put up the Eclipse fender, now III use.
Another complaint is that the Eclipse
fender will not stand any great amount
of weight.
The Gardner fender is made of mesh
wire and iron and is guaranteed to hold
1900 pounds. 1t will pick up horse,
the owner claims as readily as 1t VIII
an infant.
1t is intended only for interurban use,
but the expectation of the owners OF the
patent is that the fender will eventually
become a part of the equipment of every
street car In service in this and other
cities.
Inventor Gardner is negotiating with a
transit company and will. in all probable
ity, put his new appliance into practical
use within few days.
The beauty of the invention over those
which have preceded it, according to
those interested, is that the motorman,
by turning a crank near the controller,
can double up the fender and put 1t UNI
der the car, as fiat as the proverbial
pancake and with as little effort, while
running through the heavily populated
districts put the fender into place by
one turn of the crank.
Mr. Gardner has interested several local
men in his invention and hopes to make
Gardeners Folding Fender" we'll known.

steps of the Master to Gethsemane and
to Olivet's rocky heights. Scenes in
Galilee and Damascus, the oldest city of
the world, were also shown.
Mrs Smither dwelt at length on the
primeval condition of the country which
she said was practically the same as in
the days of Abraham. She also spoke
of the factions of the Greek, Latin and
Moslem faiths and the clashes that mar
the reyerent feeling for the holy cities
of Bible times. !.
Mrs. Smither delighted her audience
and was repeatedly applauded.

Applause

With all the old southern chivalry shin.
ing round the characters, the performance
of Alabama" (Augustus Thomas) last
evening by the members of the Dickinson
Dramatic club in Dobinson auditorium
1044 South Hope street, was one of the
finest ever presented in Los Angeles by
amateurs.
They gave a finished production and
each one in the cast had that natural,
easy going southern manner which is so
hard to acquire and which Is absolutely
essential to reality
The tender pathos of the play, with the
touches of comedy, ending in happy
climax, was brought out splendidly by
the characters, who have been well train
ed by George A. Dobinson, the director.
Mr.. Thompson as Capt. Davenport, a
northern railroad man, put such deep
feeling in the part that it seemed to
live in reality. His manner bordered on
the tragic without touch of melodrama.
Mr.. Robinson was full of vim and
fire as Mr. Armstrong, his agent, and
Mr.. Phipps, as Col Preston, an old
planter, was such a natural old man
that he inspired pity in the audience,
who forgot that he was only playing a
part.
Mr.. Buttolph, made a polished gentle
man of the old school of Col. Moberly,

WANTED IN COURT,
LIES IN HOSPITAL
JUDGE RETAINS NEWSOME AS
DARLING'S GUARDIAN
Aged Veteran Unable to Appear te
Have Competency Decided, and
Lawyer Declares He Is
Dying

When the hearing in the guardianship
contest of the estate of Horace Darling
was called before Judge Rives In the
probate court yesterday, Attorney Horton
told the court that Darling was too sick
, at the hospital of the Soldiers home to
come to court, as was ordered by Judge
Rives a week ago.
\ Darling was declared incompetent sew
eral months ago and Ira Newsome was
appointed guardian of his estate, valued
| at $1,000 Recently the old man has COM
planned that he was not treated right.
Relatives of Darling are also Interested
in change of guardianship, and hair a
dozen lawyers were present to look after
their interests.
Darling insists that he is competent to
handle his own affeirs. 1t was to de-
termine his competency that Judge Rives
ordered his appearance in court.
In explaining his absence Attorney
Horton said: so serious is his condi-
ton that, / think, if he were subjected
to the strain of coming to court this
morning it might have resulted in his
death. I doubt if he lives more than
few days"
Judge Rives said that he would retain
Newsome in charge of the estate and
that he had faith in his honesty.
Certain knowledge has come to my at
tention from outside of this court ROOM"
said the judge, 'that throws little more
light on the character of this guardian.
He came into possession of certain prop
erty in San Diego county that enhanced
the value of the estate, and Immediately
wrote me asking that his bond be in
creased, which 1 consider very COM
mendable action on his part"
The main objection to Newsome's con-
duct of Darling's affairs, raised by the
lawyers for his relatives, was that he
had expended $500 in defending a suit
which involved only $50, but the court
held that the law would have dealt hard
with him If he had failed to do his ut
most in resisting an attack on the es-
tate.
