MUCH HEAVIER SENTENCE

married 13-year-old Virginia Spencer,
was found guilty of a technical crime
by marrying a girl under 16 years of

was put under seven years probation.

crime, without however, indulging in
the marriage form, was put under

Most of the flowers for all the parks
are seeded. sprouted and grown in this
park. The tree nursery is IN Elyslah
park.
SUPERINTENDENT Morley of the park
department and Chief Gardener G.
Gowans of Eastlake park have utilized
every inch of space available in the
present houses and have reached the
limit of capacity for years. Their
only hope now is to get an appropria-
ton to extend the glass covered areas
and the lath covered extensions.
Not only are these buildings the nur-
series for the millions of buds and
blooms that put color into park land
scapes, but thousands of visitors pass
through them each week admiring the
beauties of flowerdom. at close range.
Many of the potted plants stored in
these houses must remain in an un-
varying temperature and they form a
constant delight to the senses. The
walks and aisles are so narrow that
constant damage is done to the flow
ers that stand on tables. The brush
ing of pedestrians and the constant
handling of plants made possible and
unavoidable by the narrow walks test
the gardeners wits to keep the dainty
growths from being ruined.
With new houses wider walks can be
installed and screens also can be put
in place to save the rare plants.
From all over the country letters
and reports have come to Los Angeles
praising Superintendents Morley and
Gowans and the park board for success
as shown in EaStlake mark MaVOr
Harper is enthusiastic in support of
the greater Eastlake conservatory idea

TO TEST LEGALITY OF LAWS
Minnesota's Freight and Fare Enact
ments Being Fought
3y Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The Times to-
day says that the les lity of the
freight rate reduction law of Minnesota
which is to go into effect on June 1,
as well as that of the two cent pas
senger fare law, which takes effect to-
day, is to be tested in the courts.
A representative of large stockhold-
ing interests in the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul said that it was practically
certain that the law would be tested
but that he could not say in what way
this would be done. 1t had not been
decided he said, whether it would be
done directly by the railroads or
through some stockholder.
The freight rate law which is to take
effect a month hence is regarded by
the management of the railroads in
Minnesota as of much more impor-
tance than the passenger rate law
and it is thought that the chief contest
will be over the legality of the former

tinent to increase the service of. the

mary reason for the visit in Los Ange-
les yesterday of President Clarence H.
Mackay and Vice President c. c. Ad-
ans of the Postal company
The chiefs of the telegraph system
arrived at $3.50 o'clock yesterday MORN
ing on a belated train from San Fran

general superintendent; Charles Car

San Francisco.
The phenomenal growth of the west
and consequently the business of the
Postal Telegraph company has caued
the heads of the company to decide
that another transcontinental tele-
graph route was necessary.
They propose to make it separate
line, independent of the present routes,
but under the same sytem. The line
will extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and will be installed at a cost
of about $5,000,000.
The new line which will operate out
of Los Angeles and San Francisco, as
far as Salt Lake and from there east,
will be the third owned by the compa-
ny, and it is expected that it will be
ready for business before the close of

to have new cable between New
York and Havana.
Immediately upon registering at the
Alexandria yesterday Mr.. Mackay vis-
tied the offices of the Postal TELEGRAPH
company and after transacting some
business he and the remainder of his
party devoted the day to sightseeing.
He expressed great surprise at the
marvellous growth of Los Angeles since
he visited here ten years ago.
City's Growth Wonderful
"The growth of the entire west is
nothing short of phenomenal and in no
place is this better evidenced than in
Los Angeles" said he. I'VE have
been out in a machine all day long
and I think we have seen a great part
of the city. AS we have to leave for
San Francisco tonight, it was neces-
sary for us to crowd a great deal into
one day."
The opening of the School of Mines
at Reno, New, was one of the reasons
for the visit of Mr.. Mackay to the
west. He wanted to be present at
the dedication of the institution, which
