Municipal Affairs
RAILROAD PROTESTS
AGAINST PAVING ACT
WOULD DISREGARD SECTION
OF VR0OMAN LAW
Representative of Huntington Interests
Objects to Use of Cement
Hydraulic Base on
Streets

A. Nj. Crutcher, representing the
Huntington interests, appeared before
the council yesterday to protest against
the demands of the city engineer ana
the city attorney that the railways
comply with the Vrooman act. rms
law compels the railway to pave be-
tween its tracks and for two feet on
either side with the same kind of ma
terial and at the same time as pave
ment is laid on the other portion OF the
street. City Engineer Hamlin has COM
planned that the railways use an as
phalt concrete base instead of a cement
hydraulic base, and points out a num-
Der of weak places along street car
tracks as the result of failing TO comply
with the specifications.
Mr.. Crutcher declared and put on
witnesses to prove that If the base was
used that is demanded the vibration OF
the tracks would rattle it to pieces In g
few months He said the material used
by the railways had been found the
best for the railways purpose.
In answer to Mr.. Hamlin's contention
that the railways did not do their part
of the paving as rapidly as 1t should
he done, Mr.. Crutcher declared IL was
impossible to keep pace with all the
contractors. He quoted figures TO show
the railways were paying $1,000 day
for pavements, and said that an or
ganization paying such large sums to-
ward public improvements should re-
ceive some consideration.
The council referred the matter TO
the board of public works for final
action.

ARTISTIC FURNITURE is
EXHIBITED IN WINDOW
Colonial and Odd Designs Shown in
Display of California
Company

Apropos of the merry month OF
June brides, roses, bliss and disap-
pointments-the last usually on ac-
count of duplicated or Inappropriate
wedding gifts-the California Furniture
company displays a window filled with
suggestions for wedding presents that
are as novel as beautiful, calling to
mind the history of the colonial days
and the furniture of that time.
AS a matter of course old English de-
signs and workmanship are displayed
and some of the productions are rich
beyond description.
In the larger number the designs
are in mahogany, the king OF wooo,
with escutcheons of quaint design, with
secret panels, hand-carved and polished
with lustre so dear to the housewife
in days of old.
There are also the Parsons De-
light" the muffin stand; nests of tea
tables, June caskets that open at a
touch, giving a view of five compart-
ments; light screens, revolving book
cases for milady; foot rests, ottomans,
desk clocks, pedestals, desks small tea
tables, mahogany trays, etc.
Mahogany is now in vogue, and al
ways has been for that matter, and
probably will be more popular as time
goes on. The California Furniture
company has devoted one entire floor
to mahogany dining room furniture
and the display is one well worthy q
days journey to see.

DEAD MAN HAS
TWO SURNAMES
MARRIED UNDER Different
COGN0MENS
DISCOVERED THAT WIFE LIVES
AT AVALON
Marsden Called Thomas by Mother
and Theodore by spouse-Dies at
County Hospital After
Accident

The mystery in the identity OF
Thomas Marsden, who died at the
county hospital May of meningltls
was partly solved last night when Ar
thur J. LeDoux, the assistant superln-
tendent of the Metropolitan Lie IN
surance company, began an inquiry
into the manner of his death.
Marsden was picked up on the stree'
on the afternoon of April 80 by Patrol
man Williams, who found him appar-
entity unconscious from the effects OF
drink He was sent to the receiving
hospital where it was discovered thal
he had a ragged wound in the top OF
his scalp, which had evidently been IN
hicted some days previously.
Drs. Quint and Wright found that
the wound was infected and after thor
oughly cleansing it sewed the cut ur
and placed the man in bed. During the
night he partly revived and gave MS
name and birthplace and stated thai
he was a dry goods salesman living al
Fourth and Hill street.
A few days ago Mrs. Marsden, the
mother of the dead man, who resides
in Boston, Mass, filed a death claim
with the Metropolitan Life insurance
company to collect policy of $l000 on
the life of her son.
The company began an investigation
and found that Marsden's death had
occurred as here stated, but 1t was also
learned that he was married here hve
years ago under the name of Theodore
Marsden and that he has always been
known on this coast by that name.
His wife was found employed at Az
alon, Catalina island, in an orchestra,
and until the life insurance agent APP
preached her she had not heard of heI
husbands death. She stated that Mars
den had told her that he had come from
Boston seven years ago; that he had
said that his name was Theodore and
she had known him by no other name

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
FOR NEW PARK ENLARGED
Boundaries to Be TWenty-tourth
Street, Western Avenue and
City Limits

Owing to vigorous opposition that mas
developed among some of the property
owners included in the proposed assess
Tnent district for a park in the south
western part of the city, the limits OF
the assessment district were changed
yesterday. a..
The park is bounded by New Or
leans, Twenty-eighth, Cimarron ana
Arlington. The assessment dlstrlct Is
bounded by Twenty-fourth street,
Western avenue and the city limits on
the south and west. 1t is believed
there will be no complaint against this
district, as nearly all the property
owners embraced by these boundaries
are anxious for the park
Another public improvement was or
dered at the instance of Councilman
Dromgold. The city engineer was or
dered to prepare an ordinance OF IN
4ention widening San Fernando road
from Avenue Twenty to the city limits
to an S0-foot street. This streets is
about go feet wide, and the amount of
land necessary to widen the street Will
be taken from the east side.

in breathing. All these disagreeable ac
cessories of the demon catarrh will disap-
pear, and as they go the glow of health
will return, and all the strength and
energy that was formerly used in com
batting the inroads of catarrh, will bring
back your vitality and ambition, will
make new, healthy, happy being of
you in few weeks.
