REACH PASADENA
WITH AMERICAN
BALLOON Is IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION
GAS BAG TO BE TAKEN TO FIESTA
PARK STADIUM
Los Angeles, Just Completed by Frank
Leroyxez, May Be Inflated for
Exhibition of Aero
Club

The balloon Americans caravan with
Captain Augusta E. Mueller in COM
mand arrived at Richardson's livery
stable in Pasadena last night. The
members of the party with captain
Mueller, Paul J. Braud, A. .. Paulson
and Ben Rice, were tired out ana Iuliy
satisfied with the amount of mountain
climbing they had experienced.
The balloon is in excellent condition
and IL will be taken to the Fiesta park
stadium to be reserved, as the alrshlp
barns at Chutes park are occupied Dy
the new balloons of Frank Leroyxez.
Captain Mueller will make repairs at
once and Business Agent Leonard OF
the Aero CLUB arranged yesterday with
the Los Angeles Gas ana Elec1ric
company for service which will permit
imitation of balloons for the aeronaut-
ical show.
The new balloon Los Angeles, just
completed by Mr.. Leroyxez, may be
inflated for the exhibition of the Aero
club of California. 1t is constructed
OF cloth dipped in a mixture worked
out by Mr.. Leroyxez, which gives II a
brilliant light color, in marked con-
trast to the weather-worn appearance
of the American. If possible. both
balloons will be inflated side by SIDE.
The Aero club of California is par
ticularly anxious to arrange this,
since the Los Angeles was manufac-
tured entirely at home by Leroyxez,
and they believe the home product Will
compare favorably with the American,
which was made by Leo Stevens, the
New York balloon manufacturer, or
the United States, which was made in
Paris by one of the worlds most cele>
brated balloon makers.
"The balloon landed in the only bare
spot visible anywhere in that section .
said Mr.. Braud last night. Every
where else there was a thick growth
of blackthorn or a sheer wall of the
canyon, making most dangerous sit
uation. Not thirty feet from the bal
loon was a dead pine standing up with
a sharp point like a giant toothpick,
which must have been a terrifying
thing for the party to look at before
they knew where they would land. We
managed to get the balloon down
without damage, but Captain Mueller
learned several things about California
burros."

LIQUOR MEN HESITATE
TO GIVE UP LICENSES
Consider Long Before Selling Their
Business or Changing Their Lo-
cation Without Transfer
of Permit

1t appears that the liquor men are
digesting the report of City Attorney
Hewitt rendered to the police commits
sion Thursday night, for not one APP
plication for transfer of license or
change of location was filed with Sec
rotary McKeag yesterday.
The city attorneys ruling that the
police board has no right to transfer
a license from one location to another
in spite of the fact that such has been
the custom for about twenty-five
years seems to have made the liquor
dealers and those who would engage
in the business stop and consider.
Under the new ruling. If a liquor
dealer wants to sell out, before new
license can be granted to the purchaser
the original license must be revoked.
If he wants to change the location OF
his business the same process Is neces-
sary With probably hundred appli-
cants for every one of the 200 saloon
licenses, a. holder of one of these pre-
cious privileges hesitates long while
before giving it UP, even temporarily.

WIFE OF HOTEL MAN
SAYS HE HIT AND
PINCHED Her FACE
PROPRIETOR OF GOND0LIER
SUED FOR maintenance
Mrs. George F. McFadden Alleges
Spouse Struck Her Until Her
Flesh Was Marked
Black and Blue

Claiming that her husband, George
+. McFadden, proprietor of the Hotel
Gondolier, Venice, pinched and struck
her face and limbs until her flesh was
marked with black and blue bruises,
Mrs. Sadie McFadden, in suit filed in
the superior court yesterday, expresses
a desire to live apart from the man to
whom she was married less than six
months ago, and asks that he be legally
compelled to maintain her in comfort
during their separation.
Mrs. McFadden, in her complaint,
tells of a number of incidents, which,
if true, were sufficient to mar her do
nestle happiness. The couple was
married at Muskogee, Okla, October 90
last year, and came to California a
short time later, her husbands cruel
treatment, she alleges, beginning short
ly after the wedding, being marked by
frequent blows and other methods of
torment. On December l, she says,
McFadden pinched and bit her until
black and blue marks covered her
body.
in February, Mrs. McFadden says she
received numerous letters from her
husband in which she was requested
never to return to California, the in
junction being accompanied by offens-
i've epithets, such as scrub" and
idiot"
when did return" says the wife,
che ordered me to get out of the house,
told me he did not care for me, that |
was not a companion for him in his
social life, and that I was an ignomin-
ious ass to think I could force any
man to live with me-" and followed this
with the statement that she had come
to him without CLOTHES, money or
aught else, not even half way good
sense
Mrs. McFadden also asks the court
to restrain her husband from disposing
of his property until her case has been
disposed of.

Municipal Affairs
NEW SYSTEM MEANS
MORE PERMIT MONEY
Holders That Will Show Colored Re-
ceipts Ready for Distribution
by City License Clerk
LOWE

The new license holders for vehicle
licenses are ready and License Clerk
LOWE began distributing them yester-
day. These holders are made of tin,
with mica fronts, and the paper IL
censes are fastened in them. The color
OF the licenses this month Is orange.
The color will be changed every month,
and when the system is thoroughly in
stalled, as it will be as soon as the
license inspectors can do 1T, 1t Will be
next to impossible for express wagons,
vegetable wagons and similar vehicles
to dodge the license fees, as has been
done in the past Merely by passing
one of these vehicles the inspector can
see the license, and if it is not the
proper color for the month the holder
must hustle down to the. city hall and
correct his oversight.
Under the old system holders or We
hicle licenses were furnished with
metal tags bearing the number of the
licenses. The holder of such a license
might secure the license and the metal
tag and then forget to renew this IL
cense once a month. There was moth
ing on the metal tags to tell whether
or not the license had been renewed.
One of the license inspectors found one
expressman who had not renewed his
license in nearly two years.

END TROUBLES OF
WEALTHY PIONEER
REACH AGREEMENT THAT WILL
SETTLE CONTROVERSIES
Attorney for Ira Phillips Wife Draws
Up Document Stopping Court Pro-
ceedings and Distributing
Estate

Ira Phillips the wealthy pioneer,
whose troubles have been many since
he married Matilda Phillips, with
whom he eloped to San Bernardino a
month ago appeared in the superior
court yesterday for the last time, 1t is
believed.
An agreement whereby the proceed
ings to test the old mans competency
to manage his own affairs and to pro-
vide for the distribution of his estate
after his death was reached in Judge
Riyes' chambers at noon, attorneys rep
resenting Phillips and his young wife;
Phillips son, War l. Phillips, and the
latter's four children being present.
This agreement, which was drawn by
Attorney H. H. Appel representing
Mrs. Phillips, will, 1t is confidently ex-
pected, be signed today.
Phillips property, consisting for the
most part of securities, is worth about
$500, 900. Under the terms of the agree
ment the income from this property,
amounting to $4,000, will go to Phillips
during his lifetime, the property to be
held in trust until his death. At that
time 1t will be divided into three equal
parts, one part to go to the young wife,
another to the son and the third part
to be divided equally among the lat
ter's children.
y FTCNCHb At'Sf NiSSSAe'N
To prevent a repetition of recent oc-
currences which forced the old man to
appear in court to contest proceedings
filed by his son for the appointment of
a guardian of his estate and person the
agreement provides that any bene-
ficiary under it's terms who shall in the
future attack Phillips mental com
potency shall forfeit to the wife his
share in the estate. A similar pro-
vision is made in the event an attack
on the validity of Phillips marriage Is
made.
Attorneys representing the various
persons interested are H. H. Appel, w.
H. Anderson, Russ Avery and Jones &
Weller Phillips says his chief con-
sideration is a desire to make volun-
tary settlement in contemplation of for
ever settling all present and future
controversies, and expresses the hope
that all parties will regard it as fair
and natural disposition of his property.
The person or corporation to be
named as trustees probably will be de-
cided today.
