things, IMPORTANT things. You're
sure of FULL WEIGHT ICE. You're
sure of COURTEOUS SERVICE.
We guarantee both, and we put you
in a position where you can CHECK
up" both.
Easy enough to "checl1 up courtesy.

our Ice Drivers are courteous or not.
Ye know them and can answer for
that.
We enable you to check up" the
weight of the ice delivered-without
bothering to actually weigh it; you
don't need weighing scales at all.
We supply every customer who de-
sires them a free measuring rule and
table of weights. Just measure your
ice and cast up it's weight by the table,
which contains full instructions. It's
easy enough to do-and it enables you
to know what you're getting.

POLICE WITHDRAWN FROM
GUARDING TELEPHONE POLES

PASADENA, May 29.-Withdrawing
its uniformed patrolmen from the bases
of the poles where the cables were cut
Thursday night, the city of Pasadena
late this afternoon gave consent to the
Sunset company's workmen to go ahead
with the work of again putting its sys-
tenn in commission. The breach is
healed temporarily, or will be when the
splices are made, and for twenty days
the city and the Sunset people will sit
side by side in apparent friendship con-
Quoting a friendly little squabble as to
the reasons why and why not the COM
pany should pay into the Pasadena
treasury large sums of money for the
privilege of planting its poles in the
city streets. The mayor, Thomas Ear
ley, and the city attorney, j. Perry
Wood, who represented the city at the
conference in Judge BordwelPs court
today, believe they have won VIC
tory in the case, as do many of the
citizens; but there are others who pro-
fess to see joker concealed in that
particular portion of the signed agree
ment which says the city must give
the Sunset company two days notice
of impending trouble. so the company
can have time to make application for
an injunction restraining the city from
it's proposed action. THE company
takes one chance to the city's three"
declared prominent citizen today.
Work on the repairing of the system
was begun this afternoon by the avail
able Sunset employees of this city, aided
by a squad of men sent from Los An
geles, and the downtown wires at least
will be working by tomorrow morning,
according to Manager F. Fl. Healey.

TRAIN OF STREET CARS
RUNS AWAY; NO ONE HURT
Motor and Six Flat Cars Loaded with
Gravel and Men Dashed
Through Billboard

Motorman H. w. Phillips of the Los
Angeles Railway company, in charge
of a large motor car, drawing six fiat
cars loaded with gravel, and several
Mexican laborers who were on the
train, had a narrow escape from seri-
Gus injury and probably death when
the air brakes became defective and
the train raced down the track and
jumped the curve at Sunset boulevard
and Buena Vista street.
Two telephone poles were torn down
and a fireplug was wrecked by the
runaway train, which did not stop I'M
til it crashed into a large billboard and
ran into a vacant lot.
The train was going south on Buena
Vista, and when it was within several
blocks of Sunset boulevard the brakes
became defective and control of the
train was lost. The train was travel
ing at a slow rate of speed at the time
When the brakes refused to work the
speed increased and when the curve
was reached it jumped the track while
going at the rate of thirty-fiVe miles
an hour.
The first three cars, with the motor
car, left the rails, crashed into two
telephone poles, knocking them down;
bumped into a fireplug, wrecking 1t,
then continuing until it crashed
through the billboard in front of va
cant lot. The three rear cars remained
on the track and ran more than a
block before coming to a stop.
Patrolman R. L. Hilf was near the
corner when the cars jumped the
track and he made a quick move and
got out of danger before the damage
was done.
The men on the train had a marvel
Gus escape and none was hurt.
The officer notified the police station,
the fire department and the electric
company and within a short time the
damage had been repaired and the
tracks cleared

CHILD EXPLAINS
HOW MAN LURED
Her FROM HOME
ETHEL WOLFE DESCRIBES VS.
ITS TO ELYSIAN PARK
ACCUSED REALTY DEALER BOWS
HEAD IN COURT
Young Witness Astounds Hearers by
Statement That Crime Had Been
Attempted on Several
Occasions

Not once, but on four different occa-
sions did B. H. Markham, the aged
Los Angeles real estate dealer allure
his alleged victim, 11-year-old Ethel
Wolfe, to Elysian park, was the start
ling testimony that the little girl gave
on the witness stand yesterday morn
ing during the preliminary hearing Of
Markham on the charge of assault with
criminal intent.
Between sobs and with downcast
eyes the child told her story, and as
the details were disclosed the defendant
bowed his head and did not look in
the direction of the witness stand nor
turn his gaze toward the parents of
the girl, who sat a few feet away
The hearing, which was begun in
Police Justice Frederickson's court
Friday afternoon and was adjourned
because of the collapse of the child
while on the witness stand, was re-
sumed yesterday morning. The strict
Injunction of the court that only the
attorneys, principals and the witness
who might be testifying should be al
lowed in the court room was enforced
to the letter by the bailiff.
Child on the Stand
Ethel Wolfe occupied the witness
stand during the entire morning Ses-
sion, and when the hearing adjourned
at noon her testimony had not been
completed. Attorney Davis, who told
the court Friday afternoon that on his
shoulders should rest the blame for the
five previous continuances of the case,
argued that it be continued until one
week from next Friday, but Deputy
District Attorney Alexander objected
saving that he wanted the hearing
closed as eXpediteiy as possible, and
next Friday was the day agreed upon
for the continuance.
Although Attorney Davis Is said to
have had good reasons for asking for
prolonged continuance, the request
did not agree with his remarks of Fri
day afternoon, when he criticised a
newspaper article which commented on
the continued postponements of the
case.
Ethel Wolfe caused a sensation when
she told the court that the day of the
alleged assault, Easter Sunday, was
not the first time that Markham had
attempted to mistreat her. She said
Markham had met her three times be-
fore while she was in Elysian park
and the first time he gave her candy
He met her again by appointment
promising her candy and other dain-
ties
Cause for the Outcries
The girl then explained the reason
for her outcres on Easter Sunday
which attracted the attention of pedes-
TRANS and resulted in Markham's ar
rest. Several times the child was on
the verge of collapse.
The Legal Aid society, which has
taken an interest in the case in order,
as the officers claim, to see that justice
is done, was represented by Attorney
H. H. Appel, who assisted the deputy
district attorney in the prosecution. AS
several more witnesses are to be heard,
and as the defense is contesting every
movement of the prosecution, it is
doubtful if the hearing will be con-
cluded in another day.

When the first through train over
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad reached Seattle from the
metropolis Of Lake Michigan on
on June 18th, new era in the COM
mercial life of the Great Northwest
was inaugurated. This train bro't
President A. J. Earling and other
leading officials of the company,
who made the inspection trip and
prounced themselves as we'll salts
fed with their line. For the first
time in the history of any railroad
the Milwaukee will publish COM
plete set of tariffs independently of
the Transcontinental Freight AS
ISOLATION. President Earling has
announced that his line will make
its own rates independently, thus
gong INTO open competition with
other transcontinental roads instead
of playing in with them. He ex-
planned that this does not neces-
s,rily mean a freight rate war, but
that the company wants to be at
liberty to make any rate that it sees
fit, subject to the rules of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, with
out having to consult its compel
itors first. That the Milwaukee is
destined to become a strong factor
in transcontinental and overseas
ratemaking, as result of this posi-
ton, is a foregone conclusion and
business men are welcoming the in
dependence manifested, as it means
much to them.

Most people will watch with sym
pathetic interest the working
of tie act Ia sed by the
state Of Washington requiring all
people wishing to marry to pass
medical examination az to their
physical and mental condition. 1t
is now universally recognized that
many diseases are transmissable ano
others hereditary and that the r,
suits of marriages of people physic
ally and mentally unfit are often
deplorable. In fact the abundant
data now available proves that the
faint inherited by the offspring o.
such unions is not physical and
meutai only but also moral and il
responsible for a large amount oi
crime. To check or stop these evils
j. a duty that the proper authori-
ties owe to the public. For the
state to attempt to regulate mar
riages with this object in view is adj
mittedly q delicate matter in more
than one sense, but if it can be done
wisely all sensible people will re-
joice. One immediate effect in
Washington will probably lie the
temporary exodus who wish t.
marry but who are doubtful as to
their ability to pass the required
examination, but some will doubt
less be found to meet the situation.

with illegal acts towards another

paying an immense sum as pen

it. The government cannot too
