OLD MT. WILSON TOLL
ROAD FEUD IS REVIVED
P. J. McNaIIy Threatens TO Throw d
Wagon or Two Off the
Thoroughfare

PASADENA, Sept. 8.-The old Mount
Wilson toll road feud has been revived
since the publication today that teams
could use the road, the assertion being
made that litigation over the matter
had been settled. P. J. McNally, who
contends that the road is on his proper
ty, stated today he would throw q
wagon or two off the road into the
ravine below should they attempt to go
over the road, in order to bring the
matter to a head. That McNally is
ready to take this drastic action is be-
lieved to be fact by those who know
him.
McNally contends he owns the prop
erty along the right of way of the road,
except few feet which constitutes the
old trail up the mountain. This, he
admits, is not his property, but he does
claim he owns the rest of the road and
that it is his property and he can shut
off all teams if he so desires. At pres
ent, through an agreement, only the
teams of the Carnegie observatory on
the summit use the road

NINE YOUNG MEN PLAYING
POKER ON LAWN ARRESTED

ONTARIO, Sept. Shine local young
men were arrested yesterday in the
midst of a quiet poker game on the
public lawn on South Euclid avenue,
near Main street, and the cards and
pot" confiscated. The offenders were
hailed before Judge Pollock, who lee
tured them severely and let them off
with a fine of $40, of which SIS was sus-
pended on their good behavior.
One of the boys was under 1S years
of age, and he was bound over to the
juvenile court at San Bernardino. AL
though nine boys were in the game and
told to appear at the court two of them
failed to show up and have not been
heard from since. The stakes which
the boys were playing for were small
there being but 10 cents in the pot
at the time the arrest was made.
Nevertheless Judge Pollock stated this
was not the only game that had been
going on in the same place during the
past few weeks, and he wished to make
an example of the ones arrested
A new ordinance was passed by the
trustees last night which makes it an
offense punishable by fine of $50 or
twenty-five days imprisonment to play
any game of chance in public place.

REFUSES TO GRANT
DURHAM FRANCHISE
CITY COUNCIL TAKES FINAL
ACTION
Union Men Fail to Present Additional
Charges of Violation of State
Labor Law M after
Laid Over
rspecial to The Herald


SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 8.-The
city council has formally refused to
grant the petition of Fred Durham for
the advertisement of the sale of an
electric railway through certain streets
of the city to the northwest section
This action was only taken after the
mayor and members of the council had
given Durham, who intimates he is
backed by Los Angeles capital ample
opportunity to demonstrate he was in
good faith in his request and would
construct the road.
Owing to the fact several blocks along
the proposed route of the line are about
to be paved the city officials refused to
tie up that progress until it was an
assured fact that the petitioner had
sufficient backing or means to con-
struct that road. He declined, however,
to take it into his confidence, and for
this reason 1t was denied,
Although a large number of union
men were present at the meeting of the
council to investigate the charges of
the Carpenters union that the state law
was being openly violated by the con-
tractors on the street work, together
with the water department, in working
its employees over the eight-hour limit,
no further charges were presented, al
though the teamSters recently decided
to protest against the hours of service
violation and the breaking Of the state
humane act prohibiting the hauling of
over one and one-half yards of sand 70
the load. The matter was laid over
until further investigation could be
made and q curtailed report made by
the committee in charge of the inquiry.
Charging that as the result of whole
sale robbery they are losing hundreds
of dollars worth of grapes, the vine
yard owners of Etiwanda have finally
appealed to the county to name a spe-
cial officer to patrol the district to
guard against the continued practice of
robbing the vines of their grapes.
