CARS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Prosecuting Attorney Threatens Street
Car Officials with Arrest for Fail
ure to Comply with Fender
Ordinance

Circumstances tending to show that
the officials of the Los Angeles Pacific
Railway company are making no effort
to fulfill the promises made in open
court month ago to equip all cars
running on its lines with tenders, are
said to have been brought to the at
tention of Prosecuting Attorney George
Beebe. Yesterday Mr.. Beebe served
notice on the attorneys representing the
railroad company that unless they
showed evidence of their intentions at
once complaints would be filed and
motormen operating fenderless cars
would be arrested, together with the
officials of the company.
Early In December General Manager
T. r. Gabel of the Los Angeles Pacific
was arrested in company with a motor
man on the charge of violating the
fender ordinance. The latter was fined
$40. while Mr. Gabel was fined 5000
The defense made by the attorneys
for the street car men was that there
was only one firm which manufactured
tenders which answered all the uuali-
fications called for in the ordinance.
The attorneys claimed that firm was
choked up with orders which would
keep 1t busy for years. The attorneys,
for their clients, at last agreed to equip
the cars with tenders as soon as they
could manufacture them, and said all
cars would be equipped with them
within a few weeks.

called upon to shut up the bar The
county officials refused on the ground
that the shoestring strip was a part Of
the city. The city officials were loath
to claim the strip, and finally when they
found that it was really within their
jurisdiction Chief Kern was ordered to
close up the Ascot bar, and he promptly
did so.
The city officials then ordered it re-
opened by one of those peculiar emer-
gency clauses for the good and peace of
the community, but before it could he
signed Mayor Harper and Harry Le-
lande We're enjoined to prevent the fill
ing of the ordinance.
Yesterday the terms of the agree
ment between the city and the repre-
sentatives of Ascot came to light when
it was admitted i'm court that one of the
agreements had been that Ascot should
enjoy the same privileges it had before
the annexation of the strip.
Judge Bordwell will give his decision
regarding the bar within the next few
days.

SUICIDE s MOTIVE
IS NOT SOLVED
BOYS PROSPECTS APPEARED
BRIGHT
Had Everything That a Nineteen
Year-OId Could Desire and Was
Preparing to Enter
Yale

Possessed apparently with everything
that should make the life or a 19-year-
old boy worth living, Andrew D. Whlte'
son of Mrs. Annie White and grandson
of Andrew D. White, former president
of Cornell university and at one time
American ambassador to Germany,
fred two bullets through his head late
Thursday afternoon and died while en-
route from Nordhoff to Los Angeles for
medical attention.
The relatives and friends of the boy
can find no reason for his action ana
at the Thatcher school at Nordhofr,
where he was a student, classmates
and teachers are unable to throw any
light on the suicide.
Late Thursday afternoon young
White left his friends and went to his
room. Nothing more was seen of him
until a short time later a nurse who
was passing his door heard two shots.
closely followed by the sound of the
falling of a body. When she entered
the room she found the unconscious
form of the boy stretched on the floor
and beside him a 22-caliber revolver
DR.. Sieger of Nordhoff was called, and
two specialists were summoned from
Los Angeles. Upon their arrival they
announced that the only hope of saw
ing Whites life would be by getting
him to a Los Angeles hospital. His
two aunts, the Misses Bruce, two ply
sicians and q nurse accompanied him,
and every effort was made to save his
life, but he died before the train
reached the city.
Whether or not the deed was pre-
meditated cannot be learned, but
young White gave no intimation OF his
intention, if he had any, to those asso-
ciatcd with him.
He was preparing to enter Yale COL
lege with the opening Of the next term
and had already successfully passed
some of his preliminary examinations
and was studying for others to be given
soon.
George f. Rodgers, a friend of the
family, who was at the Alexandra
yesterday with the aunts of the boy,
while making arrangements for the
disposition of the remains could give no
clew to Whites reason for ending his
life.
'It is all a mystery to us. and try
as we will we can find no reason why
Andrew should have desired TO end
ris life. His prospects were bright In
every way. He was a studious boy,
almost too studious, and the only thing
that we can think of is that he became
despondent over his studies and in a
troubled moment shot himself. There
was really no reason why he should
have been respondent; he was doing
well and had successfully passed part
OF his examinations for Yale.
HE had no love affairs and has
had nothing to do with girls since he
was a small boy"
His mother and one of his aunts
We're prostrated yesterday as a result
of the terrible shock and the tragedy
has cast a shadow over the school.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been made, but there will be a
private service.

Yes, l was born in Georgia." said
VILLA Holt Wakefield, but the softly
turned consonants and the broad vow
els had already told the tale. The fair
skin and golden brown hair spoke just
as strongly of a descent purely Eng
lish. But my people belong to all the
south. They are scattered over all of
Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi and
Missouri" Miss Wakefield did not add,
though she might truthfully have done
so, that her family has given to the
south legislators, governors, generals
yes. and clergymen.
But no Individual of either the Holt
or Wakefield families could be more
delightfully."- charming than the dainty
artist now appearing at the Orpheum.
Hers is a simple little act. The
press agent did not herald her coming
in long type and she is not even head
liner, but an enthusiastic audience last
night recalled her five times and then
a sixth.
She comes upon the stage almost
bashfully, with a few somewhat stilted
words of Introduction, fingers IA few
measures of prelude on the piano and
then-just talks. That is adjust talks
three little songs, two of them humorous
and one sentimental. That is all-but
il is done with a voice so melodious
and a manner so appealing that she
reaches straight out to every heart
That is all-but no one else has ever
done it.
All the time the agile fingers are
drawing an improvised harmony from
the ivory keys, lut with the magic OF
that voice in their ears, none hears
the accompaniment. Their she is gone

Is 1t art or is it personality? Prob

a woman of culture by birth and edu-
cation, and sorrow and suffering have
given her an insight into every emotion
of the human heart. 10 artist recently
here has appealed to her audiences as
she has.
Miss Wakefield is the same chaming
personality off the stage as behind the
