HUNTINGTON COMES
TO TAKE UP WORK
RETURNS TO CITY AFTER LONG
ABSENCE
Street Railway Masnate Has Busy
Time Cut Out for Him-RaIl.
way Extensions Are
Expected

Henry e. Huntington arrived from
the east last night on the California
limited after an absence Of several
months.
The train was due shortly after 8
o'clock, but did not arrive until about
Z o'clock.
The street railway magnate was in
good health and did not seem to be
fatigued by his long overland journey.
Upon arrival at the Jonathan club
rooms at the top of the big Pacific
Electric building Mr.. Huntington
threw down his traps and after hasty
word of greeting to those who stood
ready to welcome him dashed out OF
the building again to pay some calls.
A number of important moves in the
electric railway world have been await
ing the arrival of Mr.. Huntington and
business has piled up for the chief.
First and foremost there are impor-
tant extensions to- be considered. A
number of interior towns are awaiting
the advent of an electric line and in
several towns lots have been sold on
the strength of railroad communication
with Los Angeles. And then residents
Of the suburbs are wondering II Mr..
Huntington will increase the rolling
stock and provide more cars on systems
like the University and West Adams
lines, where traffic has outgrown car
accommodations, according to persons
living in the southwest.
In Good Health
Mr.. Huntington on his return to the
Jonathan club said in reply to questions
touching upon line extensions and addi-
tional equipment:
1--WE are adding to our equipment
all the time. I know there Is plenty
of business to attend to and shall be
hard at work Monday. My health was
never better. I am glad to be back in
Los Angeles. am always pleased to
return here. The journey was pleas
ant one"
At the present time, when many rail-
road presidents are foretelling hard
times and retrenchment in construction
work, it is believed that Mr.. Hunting
ton contemplates extending several in
terurban lines and reaching further
away from Los Angeles for additional
passenger and freight business.
But those close to the biggest street
railway owner in America say that
he will keep his counsel as to contem-
plated work. They assert that the atti-
tude of the city council will determine
Mr.. Huntington's course of action in
Los Angeles to some extent and that
the future course of events In railway
construction will depend upon many
circumstances.
Last night Mr. Huntington intimated
| that he must once more fully grasp all
the details of his gigantic undertake
| ings before committing himself as to
his future policy i'm railroad extension.

NO PENSION FOR
OLD INDIAN SCOUT
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HELP
HIM IN OLD AGE
Denied Admission to Soldiers Home
Although He Lost His Health
While Helping to Sub
due Redskins

Because no provision has been made
by the federal government for volun-
teer scouts wounded in the Indian wars,
in the early days of Oregon's history,
Is forced to remain at the county hos
pital, while thousands of soldiers who
were never wounded are in soldiers
homes.
Seated in front of one of the ward
buildings at the county hospital yes
terday, Wheeler was peering wistfully
at the far off foothills clothed in vivid
green.
II am not complaining" said the
aged scout with a winsome smile light
ing up his rugged face, but 1 think 1t
is rather strange that the government
has never made any provision for us

Grande, Ore, and acted as scout dur
ing the war with the Nez Perces,

in a skirmish and have never been a
well man since that day in 1875"
Has Broken Hip
The physicians at the county hospital
say Wheeler's hip was broken and that
the bone never kitted properly.
Smoking an old briar pipe which
some visitor had given him, the scout
leaned on his cane and in picturesque
language told of the border fighting
in which he had taken part.
You see, the trouble first arose
about moving an Indian chief called
Moses to another reservation. And
then straying bands of braves who had
been in the fight where General Custer
had been killed in the Modoc country
came over the mountains and told the
Bannocks and Snakes how easy 1t was
to kill off the palefaces.
1.-The first we heard was a lot Of
loggers were surprised and killed in

Lost Health Fighting

"Our company saw active service, but
was not rated as an organized volun-
teer command. as General Howard
never formally accepted us. So none
of the boys were entitled to pensions,
and I found that could not enter a
soldiers home, although L lost my
health while helping to keep the red
skins from the settlements"
Wheeler, while in advance of the lit
tie force of volunteers and regulars,
came into an ambush in a horseshoe
bend in the mountain trail. He was
struck by a bullet and hurled from his
horse, the animal dying from a wound
in the heart and falling heavily over his
master, breaking the hip of the brave
scout. When the Indians were finally
dislodged Wheeler was picked up and
carried back to the settlements, but
his life of activity was over, and since
1873 he has hobbled along on a cane
and has been denied admission to the
last refuge of old soldiers and is now
living on the kindly charity of the
county hospital physicians.

Chinese Helpless Cripple

All How better known as Charlie"
was sitting on the porch of one of the
county hospital buildings yesterday
talking animatedly to a spruce young
Chinese from the city.
Charlie" has been an inmate of the
hospital for twelve years and is a
helpless cripple, facing living death
with all the stoicism of his race.
And yet during all these years that
the Chinese has been confined to his
wheel chair, with his broken back
fastened with bands and straps, local
Chinese have never failed to remember
him and in their kindly sympathy show
an example of the Golden Rule, al
though they are not classed as Chris
tians.
"Charlie" is a favorite among the
outdoor patients, the doctors say. be-
cause of his cheerful face and his read
mess to do any bit of work his skill
full hands can accomplish.
An adept in sharpening tools and
knives, "ChaIlie" keeps all the gull
nary utensils in perfect repair and in
leisure moments whittles out TOYS and
strange looking images from bits OF
bone and pieces of wood.

Will Undergo Second
Ordeal Next Month.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2-Fosr weeks
from Monday will see the opening OF
the seceud trial of Harry K. ThGw for
the killing Of stanford White on the
Madison square roof n year ago last
summer This trial, like the first. will
abound with sensational Incidents OF a
character different from the features
that made The previous trial in many
ways the It.,st extraordinary proceed
ing ever con.IIeted In the local courts.
One surprising feature or the second
trial viii be that Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw
will not appear as a witness in behalf
Of her husband. That much was learned
today from a source which. in the alb
sence or a positive denial from Martin
W. LituetOn. chief Of counsel Tor ThaW,
must be regarded as thoroughly reliable.
Lawyers who followed the original
trial closely now agree that mistake
was made in placing Evelyn Nesbitt
Thaw on the stand, and having ner
tell the story that Travelled around the
Worl1 and excited interest everywhere
Le-9I sharps are a uait in saying that
what she told was all very vel. In It's
way, but that the defense would have
been in a far better position mad the
wife of the defendant been eliminated
altogether as a witness.

states that he was told by Mr.. Sears
Of the Chicago firm Of Sears, Roebuck

houses IN the country, that his firm pre-
ferred that the present status Of the

Bearing on the same point is the atti-

official organ OF the National League Of
POstmasters of Fourth Glass Ofices. J.
William Mckinley, editor OF the AcvO-
cate. says that he had never been very
enthusiastic for the parcels post propO-

chants in small towns and villages. This
conviction has been changed on the tes-
timOny OF Editor Watson, and the POST

MAIL ORDER MEN
HIT PARCELS POST
In Conspiracy With Express
Companies, Says Tom
Watson.
Postoffice Official Confirms
Editors Disclosures Re-

Contrary TO common belief the scheme
of Postmaster General Meyer to increase
the operations Of the parcels post sys-
TEN is not to have the support Of the
large mail order houses of the country
The reason for this Is tersely set forth
by Editor Tom Watson in the current
issue of the Jeffersonian, Watson says;
"The reason why the mail order
houses can take business away from the
local merchant is that collusion exists
between the mail order houses and the
express companies The mail order
houses gets special rates
III the Government carried small par
cells in the mails. on moderate charges,
nobody could get special rates. There
fore. the mail order house would have
one of the props knocked out from un-
der its business.

consequently the express companies
and the mail order houses have cOnfed-
Grated to fight the parcels post. Afraid
tc show their hands. however, they are
working under the names OF the 'Mer-
chants Trade Journal They have hired
men and put them on the road to get
signatures TO a protest against the par
cells post. And the argument which
causes the retail merchant 20 sign the
petition of protest IS this: If the Gov
ernment establishes a parcels post, the
mail order house will get your business
And the guileless merchants are
signing a paper which, in effect. asks
the Government not 10 interfere with
the combination which now makes the
express company the partner Of the
mail order house in the profitable busi-
ness of taking trade away from the re-
