pany had decided to discontinue run
ming cars on the line and that in the fu-

use of guns and pitchforks to drive off
the invading host of laborers, but at

"You cannot get out an injunction
to restrain the company on Sunday"

clerk was compelled to report to the
gathered citizens that he did not know
what to do.
During the last two weeks there have
been many rumors in Glendale that the
street car company was dissatisfied
with the amount of patronage its line
was receiving and that 1t intended tc
discontinue it's service.
It is said that the company will for
felt the bond it has with the board OF

COL. AYRES GETS

FRIENDSHIP FOR WOOD GETS
HIM INTO TROUBLE
Officer at West Point Disliked Be-
cause of His Admiration for Roose-

at Post
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WEST POINT, N. Y, June s.
Warnings that his friendship for Cen
era1 Leonard Wood would cost him his
commission in the United States army
have been received repeatedly by Lieu
tenant Colonel George Ayres, accord
ing to a statement which he made pub
lie today.
In defending his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth
F. Ayres, from criticism by officers OF
the military academy and supporting
| her suit to collect 100000 in damages
| from those officers, Lieutenant Colone
| AyreS said that he had been tried or
many charges apd that he has beer
| told many times that part of the ami
mostly toward him has been caused by
his friendship with General Wood.
That officer himself, Lieutenant Col
onel Ayres says, has for years warned
him frequently to be careful. The
lieutenant colonel said that he re-
garded General Wood as one of the
ablest men in the country and that he
was one of the few officers who went
to General Woods camp to congratu-
late him when he was promoted from
colonel to brigadier general.
The controversy at West Point first
attracted public attention at the Easter
parade of the cadets when Lieutenant
Colonel Robert Howe, commandant. of
the cadets, sent a sergeant to take
away the cadets overcoats which they
had loaned to the girl spectators dur
ing a shower.
Officers of the academy blamed Mrs.
Ayres for some of the criticism Of the
commandments action and for some of
the public notice taken of it. Mrs.
Ayres, who then lived on the reserva-
tion, resented this, and she left West
Point to reside in Highland Falls,
near by.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The inter-
view with Lieutenant Colonel Charles
G. Ayres, Fourteenth cavalry, in which
he is reported to have talked in strong
disparagement of army courts and as
cribed questionable motives to army Of
ficers in connection with the trouble
that has arisen between Mrs. Ayres
and officers at the military academy,
was received at the war department
with surprise. Colonel Scott, command
ant of the academy, was at the depart
ment today, but he declined to make
any comment upon the charges 1t is
asserted, however, that summary action
is contemplated.

phone company's poles this street. and the
fight had been ended recently by the telephone

were ready, a Miss Waltien. in front Of
whose home of them had been dug, jumped
into it, Further along the street a Miss Schwartz
jumped into the ether. They folded their arms
and dehed the electric lighting company's en-
employees to touch them. A crowd gathered to
cheer them
The foreman of the gang tried TO induce the
women to vacate their positions. but they were
deaf TO all arguments.
Call out the fire department and have them
drive these away" suggested Miss
