The definite announcement that the
American fleet now In the Pacific Will
go on around the world by way Of
the Suez canal brought no real sur
prise TO people who have been more OF
! less Informed as 10 the plans OF the
Administration. The tour of the world
by way of the Mediterranean and the
Pacific is certain TO be the browning
glory and spectacle OF this AdministTa-
tion. and the greatest show of the kind
that any nation has ever provided for
the rest Of the world.
When the fleet sailed at the beginning
Of December from Hampton Roads It
was not decided whether it should
make the grand tour on not. There
were good reasons for this. II was
= most gigantic undertaking, to send
It around South America, more than
half the circuit OF the world There
was no assurance that that trip would
be made successfully. Much depended
on the results and incidents Of the
cruise 10 the Pacific coast of this coun-
try. There were pessimists who con-
sideTed it a most dangerous enterprise;
who thought the fleet wOuld much bet
ter DO kept IN heme waters; that the
Atlantic was where Il belonged. These
predicted all sorts of disasters from the
great venture.

Second of Naval Powers.
On paper the United States IS rated
as the second naval power. A high Ger
man parliamentary authority frankly
conceded recently that this was our
rank. and the London Times only three
weeks ago, in a study OF the naval
strength OF the world. placed the United
States unique stionably in this position.
But the fact remains that the world
at large does not know OF Americas
naval strength. any more than IL knows
the American army's weakness.
If the United States had an army OF
ten million men il couldn't parade them
around the world and make an impress

DOMESTIC TROUBLE DUE
TO DRINK, WIFE SAYS
Former Empioye In Recorders Office
Declared by Spouse to Have
Been Victim of Inten-
perance

Mrs. Anna r. Scof1eld, wife of J. V
Scofield, formerly employed in the office
of the city recorder of Los Angeles
told the story of her domestic troubles
yesterday in the superior court
troubles, she said, which were caused
by drink.
The couple were married eleven years
ago and the husband lost one position
after another because of his intem-
perate habits. On one occasion, she
said, he turned the gas on in an in
stantaneous heater, lighting it some
minutes later, with the result that the
heater was blown to pieces! The case
was continued until September IL by
Judge Bordwell because of the absence
of witnesses.
Carlota Belcher was granted a divorce
from Samuel Belcher on the ground of
cruelty. They married in March. 1908,
and, according to the wife, Belcher be-
gan quarreling with her a short time
afterward. In May last, she said, he
dragged her from bed and tried to choke
her. She ran from the house and has
not returned since.

DENY MISTAKE
NO ERROR MADE, SAY CHAFFEE
AND LlPPlNC0TT
INTENTION TO BUILD RAILROAD
ON PRESENT LOCATION
Heads of Big Water Project Inform
Council That Mill Is Placed
on Only Satisfactory
Site

Aqueduct officials deny any mistake
was made in the location of the ce-
ment mill four miles from the town OF
Tehachapi and that it is necessary to
build railroad to cost $55,0O0 as con-
sequence. 1t is stated by Engineer
Iippincott and Gen. A r. Chaffee that
1t was the intention of the board of
public works to build the cement mill
where it is located irrespective of any
limestone quarry being in the vicinity,
as that point was the only place where
water and clay could be secured, both
of which are as necessary in the manu-
facture of cement as the limestone.
When Gen. Chaffee told the council
Monday that the limestone found near
the cement mill was of an inferior
quality he was referring to quarry
about six and one-half miles distant
from the mill where it was first in
tended to run the railroad. AS this
stone is inferior in quality it is neces-
sary to run the railroad half mile
further to get into good rock. The
board has claims for three quarries
within a few miles radius of the ce-
ment mill, and the location selected was
as near a central point as possible
where water and clay could be had in
abundance.
Steps will be taken at once to secure
bids for the construction of this rail-
road, which the board wants completed
within thirty days If possible. 1t is
estimated the cement mill will be COM
pleted by October l, and unless the rail-
road is finished by that time there will
be no rock for the mill to USE
The construction of the railroad has
been delayed a long time owing to tne
difficulty in securing the right of way.
which was not completed until last
week. One man who had q small strip
of property the city wanted held up
the right of way for several months.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
ASKS FREE LICENSES
Council Requested to Pass Ordinance
Giving Some City Official the
Right to Issue
Permits

Manager Sewall of the Associated
Charities tried to induce the council
to pass an ordinance yesterday giving
some city official the right to issue free
peddling permits to poor cripples and
others incapable of earning their living
by manual labor. A request for such
an ordinance from Tax Collector John
son is in the hands of the legislation
committee, but Councilman Blanchard,
chairman of the committee, is away on
his vacation. Mr.. Sewall's letter was
referred to this committee.
The matter of free licenses was dis
cussed by members of the council.
Wallace believed it inadvisable to pass
such an ordinance, as it would invite
the class of people to Los Angeles who
take advantage of such permits, and
he believed it would, in many cases,
work a hardship on those who pay
licenses to conduct their little business.
Lyon believed the nds sought by the
Associated Charities would be served
if the chief of police would instruct
his officers not to take up the licenses
issued by the mayors Some relief will
be given INDECENT persons who must
rely on peddling for their meager liv-
ing, but it will not take any definite
form until Blanchard returns.

SERIES OF THRILLING
ADVENTURES BESET
LOSANGELES WOMAN
Mrs. Annie Irish Endangered by Flood,
Train Wreck and Insane
Man, All in
Kansas

Mrs. Annie S. Irish of the N. B..
Blackstone company, who has just re-
turned from trip to New York, was
the victim of an unusually thrilling Sc
ries of adventures which were crowded
into twenty-four hours of her journey
east. She stopped at Kansas City IN
order to make a side trip to Leaven-
worth, Kas., and within the next two
days found herself beset by troubles
from flood, wreck and a man who went
violently insane.
At Kansas City the hotel at which she
stopped had not fully returned to nor
NAL conditions following the disastrous
floods from the Kansas river, and Its
elevator and other electric appliances
were still our of order. A room on the
third floor was assigned to Mrs. Irish
and in the morning she found herself
unable to open the door, which had be-
come swollen by the dampness follow
ing the excessive rains. After pound
ing for nearly two hours she managed
to attract attention and secure release
from her predicament.
The train which she took for Leaven-
worth gave Mrs. Irish the second chap
ter in her remarkable series of calami-
ties by a head-on collision a short dis
tance out of Kansas City. Two men
were killed and number of passengers
badly injured. Mrs. Irish received a
bruised ankle.
AS she makes two trips between Los
Angeles and New York yearly, her suit
case is packed with appliances of value
in first aid to the injured. There was
no doctor on the train, but Mrs Irish
inherits from long line of noted physi-
slams the surgical instinct in a high
degree, and she forgot her own injury
In assisting others who were seriously
hurt. The Leavenworth and Kansas
City papers gave large headlines to an
account of her opportune heroism.
The passengers on the wrecked train
were taken back to Kansas City, and
Mrs. Irish essayed her Leavenworth
trip by way OF the interurban electric
line. On the way the man occupying
the seat beside her suddenly went vio-
lently insane.
You are my wife's enemy" he ex
claimed to Mrs Irish, and grasping
her by the shoulders he endeavored to
throw her out of ffthe open window of
the swiftly running car. The combined
efforts of four men were required to
release her from the maniac's hold.
"I think that was about enough ex-
citement for one day, don't your" said
Mrs. Irish modestly, yesterday. when
asked about her adventures in Kansas.

THREE LITTLE TAILORS
FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT

Instead of one official tailor to the
police department as has been the case,
there now are three. These were the
three lowest bidders for furnishing uni
forms to the police department. They
are the Globe Tailoring company, which
names a price of $780, H. Goldstein,
who bid $25 fiat. and Kleinpeter who
put in a proposal of from $25 to $2S
AS the charter does not require COM
petitive bidding for uniforms it is op~
tional with the patrolmen which tailor
they patronize. The plan of asking for
bids each year has been adopted be-
cause tailors give better prices when
they make a large number of the uni
forms. The selection Of three tailors
is done as an accommodation to the
police, who declare that when they are
forced to patronize one tailor they do
not receive as good service as when
there are several with whom they can
do business.

FIGHT MAY END
LONG FOUGHT CONTEST APT
TO NARROW TO ISSUE
L. p. LOWE CLAIMS TO HOLD
MAJORITY OF STOCK
Asks Restraining Order Against Meet
ing of Directors and Naming of
Receiver to Settle Merits
of Claims

The long continued legal battle for
control of the Peoples Gas and Coke
company which began in January last,
when the first restraining order TO pre-
vent Prof. T. S. c. Lowe from calling
a meeting of the directors of the cor
poration was issued, bids fair to end
through the fling yesterday of two
suits by L. P. Lowe of San Francisco,
son of Prof. Lowe, who claims to own
majority of the stock of the company,
against the claims of G. H. Hayes and
others.
The ending of this contest will not
come Immediately. but the filing of
the complaints yesterday will. it is ex-
pected, have the effect of placing to-
gether the issues involved in a number
of suits already pending.
One of the suits filed yesterday by L..
p. Lowe names as defendants G. II.
Hayes, the Los Angeles Safe Deposit
company, the Peoples Gas and Coke
company, the Title Insurance and
Trust company the Lowe Manufactur-
ing company, the Suburban Gas COM
pany, number of other companies and
many individuals, and is for the pur-
pose of determining the claims of each.
For this purpose a receiver is asked
to be appointed for the Peoples Gas
and Coke company pending the deci-
sion of the court.
Lowe in this complaint says Hayes
claims to control the company and
wants to defeat all creditors and get
the plant for $175,O00. when, in reality,
it is worth half million. Lowe claims
to own the major portion of the stock
himself and also attempts to. prove his
ban Gas company, one of the predeces-
sors of the Peoples Gas company.
In the second suit filed L. p. Lowe
asks the court to determine his right to
IS, 900 shares of the coke company
which Hayes claims to own.
The first mentioned complaint con-
tains forty-one typewriter pages and
goes into history of the Peoples Gas
and Coke company from its inception.
There are also about $50 pages of ex-
hibits, in which the business of the
corporation for years is goine into in
great detail.
