SECOND TRAINMASTER
DEEMED IMPERATIVE
Business on Los Angeles Division of
Santa Fe Increases So Rapidly
More Executive Assistants
Are Necessary

SAN BERNARDINO, March 22-It
was learned tonight from authentic
sources that the Santa Fe Railroad
company will soon put on an additional
trainmaster on the Los Angeles diVi-
sion, with headquarters in San Ber-
nardino. The present trainmaster, j.
B. Galivan, has entire supervision over
more than 500 miles of track in South
ern California, south of BarstoW.
The large increase in business han
died by the Santa Fe in Southern call
fornia during the last few months and
the immense amount of construction
work, prospective and under way,
makes it imperative the territory be
divided. 1t is said that portion of the
division from Barstow to Los Angeles
via Pasadena. will be under the pres
ent trainmaster's supervision, while the
San Diego line and it's connection from
San Bernardino to Orange will be al
lotted to the new man.
1t has not been announced who Will
be the new trainmaster but it seems
to be the belief among the railroad men
here that B. c. Higginson, formerly
chief dispatcher of the Los Angeles
division and at present trainmaster OF
the Albuquerque division, will secure
the appointment

SAN BERNARDINO, March Pas

head, recently convicted of man
slaughter for shooting Charles Fuhro
at Chino, while he was on spree, was
this afternoon paroled for a period of
ten years by Judge Bledsoe. 1t will be
necessary, under the terms of the pro-
baton, for Whitehead to remain in the
county, totally abstain from all intoxi-
cants, not have them in his home or
place of business, and report to the pro-
baton officer each month during tho
period covering the parole.

signed by the members of the jury and
number of citizens of Chino, asking
the court to admit the convicted man
to probation, on the ground that it
was an easy matter to induce any one
to sign a petition of this nature. How
ever, Judge Bledsoe in explaining his
action said that Whitehead had large
family dependent on him, and was now
an aged man and already had suffered
more for the crime than he could from
any sentence the court could pro-
nounce.
Whitehead collapsed when he learned
of the decision of the court.

Acld--He Was 76
Years Old
Especial to The HERALD


REDLANDS, March 22.-Nathan
Loucks, one of the older residents of
this city, committed suicide today by
taking carbolic acid.
Mr.. Loucks, who was rs years old,
had for some time been subject TO
spells of dependency, at which times
he threatened to end his life. Alternat-
ing with the spells were unusually
bright and happy periods.
Saturday he became respondent and
last evening told his family he would
end his troubles some time, which
caused them to watch his movements
carefully. This morning he started out
of the house and when questioned as
to where he was going, replied: ITO
the barn." where he was quickly fol-
lowed by o. A. Worthing, who was a
minute too late. The latter found a
three-ounce bottle with but a few drops
of carbolic acid remaining. How much
was in the bottle is not known, but
medical aid was summoned, arriving In
less than ten minutes after the poison
had been taken, but their aid was not
sufficient to relieve his sufferings and
he died in agony this afternoon at
$40.
He was born in New York in 1888
and for. the past eighteen years had
been a resident of Redlands, where he
has been engaged in the care of orange
groves. He also had been superin-
tendent of streets and inspector of
street work. Through his long resi-
dence here he had become known wide
ly in the county and was one of the
most highly respected citizens.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Nellie Loucks, a daughter, Mrs. c. c.
Gaylord of this city and another
daughter, Mrs. Jennie Cierce of Illinois,
and several grandchildren. The funeral
arrangements have not been made.

PORT LOS ANGELES HOLDS
EXCITING GIVING ELECTION
Mexicans Barred by Hieh-Handed
Qualification Ordinance, and Re-
call Movement Agitated

PORT LOS ANGELES, March 22.-
This little port is all agog over the
civic election held here Saturday. or
course Port Los Angeles has no stand
inc as a municipality, but, just to be
in the swim, and possibly with view
of colonization in future, the powers
that be-viz., the fish dealers-held an
election.
Port SNYDER. who has the fishing
privileges on the wharf, put himself up
for mayor, and was opposed by MO
gul" Dickens, who runs the frelght
train to the wharf.
"MoguP' thought he would have
everything his own way, thanks 10
judicious use of the "big stick" on the
Mexican laborers who work for the
railroad company.
The Snyder faction, being tipped off
nv a Pinkerton detective working on
the case, called a meeting of the 'coun-
ell" on Saturday, just before election,
and passed an ordinance declaring that
none could vote at the election unless
he could qualify by being able to read
or write English or Japanese. or
course there was nothing to 1t. The
poor Mexicans could not read or write
Japanese, or even understand good
English. =.
Now there is serious talk of recall
movement. The opposition is planning
to wait until some day when the Japs
are all out at sea fishing, when they
will run in a couple of trainloads of
Mexicans and carry the city govern
ment any way they please.
The present incumbent declares that
possession is nine points of the law,
and that he will throw any invaders
into the ocean. There is some talk of
martial law being declared.
Another sore spot with the "antis" is
the proposition to light the neighbor-
hood by electricity. They declare that
the administration intends to call a
bond election for the purchase of a
dynamo, and then pocket the proceeds,
substituting electric cells for general
ing mower

LONG BEACH, March 22.-That no

by the council in appointing deputies
and assistants, and in paying them,
is the substance of q report made to
the council this morning by City At
torney Long. The report was requested
a week ago by Councilman Callahan.
after Councilman Hartman asserted
the appointment and payment of depu-
ties had been carried on Illegally.
Hartman was not satisfied with the
city attorneys report this morning, and
suggested the councilmen meet at
either his office or the Office of the city
attorney to investigate the matter FUR
Their. Mayor Windham and the city
attorney both said this would not be
done.
When the matter of the disposal of
the report came to a vote a tie re-
suited, Dayman, Robinson and Stearns
voting to accept it, and Hartman, Cal
lahan and Baldwin voting against its
acceptance. Councilman Lane of West
Long Beach did not attend the meet

Trotter the noted evangelist preached
here twice yesterday. For his morning
subject he took "Temptation," and in
the evening he gave a vivid description
of his personal early life and CONVEX
sion. Both services were well attended.
Mr.. Trotter is to preach several times
during his stay here. AS a sportsman
with the rod and reel he is as enthu-
siastic as when delivering one of his
orations. Presumably he considers the
use of light tackle the only way in
which a true sportsman ought 10 catch
his fish, and he displays his feelings
by releasing all he captures after they
have been brought to the side of his
boat.
