MAY USE MOTORS IN
COLLECTION OF MAIL
POSTMASTER TO INVESTIGATE
DESIRABILITY
Auto Service Has Been Found Salts
factory In East and viii Be In-
troduced In Los Angeles If
Practicable

The postmaster general has instruct
ed Postmaster Flint to investigate the
desirability of introducing an automo-
bile service for the collection of mail
in this city. The department is now
making experiments in this branch OF
the service, and ii is quite possible that
1t could be successfully introduced in
Los Angeles. Contracts have been en-
tered into in Washington, ID. c., Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, Indianapolis and
Boston, and If satisfactory propositions
can be secured from the automobile
dealers and manufacturers in Los An
geles 1t is very probable that this i'm
portant Improvement will be extended
to Los Angeles.
The following is approximately the
requirements of the service:
The services of three automobiles
properly equipped for collection serv-
Ice will be required for use during a
sixteen-hour tour of duty daily, and
the contractor will be required to fur
nish two relief machines for emer-
gencies.
The automobiles must have carry
ing capacity of not less than SOC
pounds and a speed capacity of at least
fifteen miles an hour, the drivers or
chauffeurs to be furnished by the con-
tractor.
'The machines are to be new or sub
stantially as good as new at the be-
ginning of the contract period; are to
be equipped with substantial bodies,
neatly painted and vanished and let
tered with the inscription UNITED
States Mail" The machines are to be
kept clean and in first class condition
at all times during the contract term.

DESERTED HUSBAND
BEATEN BY RIVAL
QUARREL OVER WOMAN ENDS
IN POLICE COURT
Man Whose Wife Left Him for An
other Is Denounced as lmpos-
tor and Injured in
Fight

Firmly believing in the trite saying
that MANS inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn" j. l..
Lewis, 941 Blaine street, left the court
room of Police Justice Rose yesterday
afternoon. having for his only satis-
faction the fact that his rival had been
compelled to pay fine of SIS after
pleading guilty to a charge of battery.
According to the story told in court,
Lewis wife left him several weeks ago
and took up her abode at the domicile
of C. NJ. Griggs, much to the chagrin
of Lewis.
For several days he has been a con-
slant visitor at the office of Deputy
Attorney Alexander endeavoring to OBJ
tain a warrant against Griggs. Alex
ander tried to arrange the domestic
difficulty in a satisfactory manner, but
without success.
Griggs also went to the district at
torney's office and declared Lewis was
an imposter. that his real name was
Goldberg and that, under the name of
Pope, he had married the woman in the
case in Buffalo.
Thursday morning Lewis went to the
home of Griggs, 1904 Connecticut
street, where Mrs. Lewis had gone with
Griggs, and challenged the latter to 4
fight. The challenge was refused. Yes
terday Griggs met Lewis and a fight
ensued, in which, according to report,
Lewis came out second best. Lewis
hurried to police headquarters, and
while he was asking for complaint
against his rival Griggs entered the po-
lice station and surrendered himself to
the desk sergent. The case was imme-
diately heard before Police Justice
Rose. Griggs admitting his guilt to a
charge of battery and paying a fine Of
SIS.
After the case had been disposed of
Griggs left the courtroom with Mrs.
Lewis, arm in arm, while Lewis looked
on in amazement. Mrs. Lewis claims
Lewis deceived her. She says he is an
impostor and that he has been living
in Los Angeles under an assumed
name.
Lewis vigorously denies the accusa-
ton and states that his wife has be-
come infatuated with Griggs and de-
serted her own home to live with his
rival. Police Justice Rose admonished
the three to be careful in the future,
and advised them to seek a satisfactory
solution of the trouble.

Hannibars feat in crossing the Aipe
with his elephants is to be rivaled by
the members of the University club oG
Southern California, who will neGoti-
ate San Gorgonio mountain within
few days and will manage to traHs.
port their luggage over the giant peas.
Seventeen members of the club #l4
leave this morning for ten days oat-
ing and will conquer many of the na5-
ural obstacles of California during their
brief respite from business cares.
The party will take the Ment 1re
stage to a point one mile beyond the
Forest home, and then viii tran ief
and go up Mill creek canyon and leave
the stage there to take a walk of SIX
miles to selected roadhouse. Fishing
in the Santa Ana river will then be
expected to add to the larder of the
vacation crowd, but in case the hnnY
ones fail to bite "beef and" will still
be provided in abundance.
The mountain of San Gorgonio is
II 500 feet high, and under it's popular
name of "Grayback" has been cele-
brated as the highest peak in Southern
California, and the feat of the collie
gians in climbing it will be no small
task.
Party Will Be Busy
Deer hunting, tramping trips, climb
ing the San BernardinO mountains the
scaling of Seven Oaks and run up
Bear valley are calculated to keep the
outing party busy. From the wilder
ness the tourists will go to- Fredalba.
and there they will be the guests of

out a patronage deal with the ma
jority of the board of supervisors
whereby they remove without good
cause their secretary, and have by
such action forfeited the confidence
Of an insulted public.
Fourth-That under these circum-
stances the advisory board can
have no harmonious relations with
the board of supervisors and the
highway commission, and the only
possible relief to the situation will
be the resignation of the highway
commission, on whom, together with
the board of supervisors, rests the
full responsibility.
Praise Advisers
Fifth-That the position assumed
and the action taken by the adVis-
ory committee throughout the con-
troversy is worthy of the highest
commendation-th have proved
themselves faithful guardians of
the public trust, committed to them
by the board of supervisors, which
has repudiated the purposes and OBJ
jects of their appointment; and this
committee especially commends the
declaration of the advisory commit
tee made in it's last communication
to the board of SUI ervisors, that al
though practically stripped by the
action of the board of its prope
function as an advisory committee
it still recognizes the duties to tho
public which it assumed on its ap-
pointment, and so far as in its
power lies will continue to watch
over and conserve the public inter-
ests. Therefore we would suggest
that the advisory board take I'M
mediate steps to employ the neces-
sarv engineers and assistants to act
for them in overlooking the con-
tracts made and work done in build
ing the roads as outlined by the
highway commission; such en-
gineers and assistants to report to
the advisory board, and they. to ad-
wise the general public when in
their opinion work is being done
other than for the best interests OF
the people.
Sixth-Your committee submits
The foregoing conclusions and recon
mendations for your present con-
sideration, not as final, or as fully
covering the subject and answering
the question 'What is the public
going to do about it?" and we sug-
gest that you appoint a committee
for further Investigation, considera-
ton and report.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES SLAUSON,
Vice President Los Angeles Cham
