WILL ELIMINATE
RAILWAY WRECKS
SANTA FE OFFICIALS VISIT
SAFETY DEVICE PLANT
President Ripley and Party at San
Bernardino Believe Invention viii
Prevent Almost All Usual
Accidents

SAN BERNARDINO, April 17.-That
railway accidents will be eliminated al
most entirely is the sentiment expressed
by the party of Santa Fe officials, in
cluding President e. P. Ripley, who
spent the entire day at the plant ope-
rated by P. J. Simmer, Perris, and it
is evident the Santa Fe is contemplat-
ing seriously the installation Of the
safety device, possibly over the entire
system.
Mr.. Ripley passed through the city on
his way to San Francisco in a special
train to make an inspection tour
through the north part of California,
Oregon and Washington, and with Cen
eral Manager Wells the large party
went over the Simmer apparatus,
which the Santa Fe has installed on the
1S-mile branch line between Perris and
Highgrove, near this city.
BY means of a. third rail located
half mile on each side of the stations,
the dispatcher has entire control over
a train. He can bring a train to stop
at will if the engineer does not do so

STATE EXHIBIT
HALL ASSURED
GILLETT TO SIGN BILL MAKING
APPROPRIATION
Booth, Stephens and Jess Persuade
Chief Executive That Building Is
Necessary for California
and Los Angeles

The governors hesitancy regarding
the signing of the act providing for
the building and other improvements in
Agricultural park aroused the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce to char
acteristic action, and President Willis
H. Booth, William D. Stephens and
Stoddard Jess went up to Sacramento
to show the governor that the matter
was one for the welfare of all of Cali
fornia.
They told him this yesterday, back
ing their statements with facts about
the need for state exposition of a
permanent nature at the southern gate
way, where many easterners begin
their Pacific coast tours. They proved
that this would benefit the rest of the
state in being a powerful inducement
to tourists to extend their stay and to
look over the rest of California instead
of combining the trip to Los Angeles
and San Diego, as many dc. Other ar
guments with statistics behind them
were marshaled to correct any false
impression Governor Gillett might have
as to the necessity for the appropria
tion.
The result was told in the following
telegram received by The Herald yes
terday afternoon:
Governor Gillett recognizes the bene-
fits to all of California of the state ex-
hibition building and other contem-
plated improvements in Agricultural
park, and he will sign the appropriation
and other enabling bills.
WILLIAM D. STEPHENS,
WILLIS H. BOOTH,
"STODDARD JESS" I"
When the three members of the
chamber of commerce return to Los
Angeles their fellow members intend to
call them up and offer them hearty
congratulations for their work, for
Governor Gillett had definitely decided
before they went to Sacramento not to
sign the bills

NONSTANTINOPLE, April H.
Reouf Pasha, who was at one

appointed minister of the interior in
succession to Adj Bey and given a
temporary place in the hastily formed
cabinet. The position of minister of

Mutiny Casualties Heavy
The casualties from stray bullets
during the mutiny of Tuesday and
Wednesday were much heavier than
was at first reported. Most of the
wounded were removed by friends, but
in addition to the score of men killed
it appears that upward of 500 persons
were more or less seriously shot.
1t appears that the Armenians made
a good fight and defended their quarter
of the town well against the fanatfcal
Mohammedans, but in spite of their
brave resistance they were driven back
and their opponents sacked their
homes. Three hundred Mohammedans
armed with rifles left Adana by train
for Tarsus, about twenty miles away.
Since the departure of these men COM
munication with Tarsus has been in
terrupted. Grave apprehension is felt
regarding the situation there. The in
formation in the foregoing dispatches
was received i'm consular advices that
have come in here this morning.

Another picture triumph for the Breed theater this week is the special reel showing the championship ball game between the Pittsburgs and De- troits and is one of the dearest and most complete pictures seen here in a long time.

All of the great plays are shown, also splendid views of the grandstand, with it's record attendance, and the very extensive grounds
 Another ball picture Is shown, but it is a comedy game between two scrub teams, and the novelty of the whole picture depends upon the picture ma chine being turned instantly after the umpire's decision towards the bleach- CTS, and the expression of the fans is a most interesting study of human na . ture. according as they agree or dis agree with the umpire.

East Lynne is an old play, but it is one of the best. Joseph Kings com pany will appear in it at the Broad way theater tonight and fine per formance is assured. The story of East Lynne follows:
 Lady Isabel is married to Archibald Carlyle and, though in love with her husband, is insanely and unjustly jealous of Barbara Hare, family friend. Her jealousy is famed into hatred by a designing villain, Sir Francis Levison, and she, after several years of married life, is induced to leave her husband through the false presentations of Levison. Miserable and remOrseful, she gains entrance in to her former husbands home in the guise of a French governess and is enabled to see and be with her chil- dren, although unable to re-establish herself as his wife. for on her deser- tion Archibald married Barbara Hare. She finds some solace and comfort, however in the care of her children. The death of the oldest undermines her own health and. finding herself at deaths door, she calls her former hus- band, discloses her identity and with his forgiveness passes into the Great Beyond.
