Especial to The Herald.l

GLENDORA, Dec. 15.-Lee Pyner,
resident of this city, was held up to-
night by two unknown men and robbed
of $780, The robbery was committed
shortly after o'clock and as result

by Pyner, he took all his available
money, $3.50, with the intention of pro-
ceeding to Los Angeles to purchase
some furniture. Arriving at the Pa
cihc Electric station he discovered he
had forgotten his watch, and started
to return home for it.
On the way he was accosted by a
man, who asked his assistance in get
ting his father into the house. Pyner
stopped over to help lift the reclining
figure supposed to be the father,
when he was stricken down by the
one who sought his aid. In his befud-
died condition Pyner is unable to de-
scribe the house, which is thought to
be an unoccupied one.

REDMOND DECLARES
PREMIER HAS GIVEN
ERIN GOOD CHANCE

DUBLIN, Dec. I5.-AddressIng great
meeting at Mansion House tonight, John
Redmond said Premier Asquith's declar-
alton was the greatest chance they had
had in the last century of tearing up
and trampling under foot the infamous
Act of Union.
Their opponents, he continued, were no
longer millions of the British pOpula-
tion, but few hundred gentlemen" in
the house of lords.
ROsebery has declared that the lords
veto was the sole obstacle to home rule.
Premier Asquith, Mr.. Redmond de-
cIared. was asking the British people
for mandate to deal with Irish self
government In the next parliament.
Therefore Irish leaders advised their
people in Great Britain t9 vote Lib
eral," and IL home rule did not come
they could assure tho British people in
the name of Ireland that 1t would be re-
ceived and worked in the same spirit as
the concession of freedom to Transvaal

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 15.-Announce-
ment was made today that j. p. Nor
gan & Co. have bought two of the in
dependent telephone properties in which
James S. Bradley, jr., of this city re-
Gently obtained control.
On authority from Morgan &s Co., the
following statement was issued by
Clarence Brown, general counsel for
the United States dong distance) Tele-
phone company and the Cuyahoga Tel
ephone company of Cleveland.
II am authorized by James S. Bradley,
jr., to announce that j. p. Morgan &
Co. have purchased for their own ac-
count a majority Of the stocks of the
United States Long Distance and Cuya-
hoga Telephone companies. Further
than this no statment can be made at
pre- ent."
Mr.. Bradley admitted today that he
has made deal for the new plants at
Columbus and Dayton, Ohio.
Announcements as to these compa-
nies-the New Long Distance company,
the Indianapolis Telephone company
and the Toledo Home Telephone COM
pany-is withheld for the present, but
unofficial information that they have
been or will be acquired by Morgan &
Co. Is credited.
The United States company is the
long QlSldIltb SCI VICE VI TIC lliiGpSliNt-
ents in Ohio and Michigan, and the
New Long Distance company in In
diana.
Except for the statement that these
properties will be continued as "sepa-
rate plants in competition with the
Bell, but upon conservative lines with
out disastrous price cutting" their fu-
ture' relation to the Bell company is
left somewhat open.
1t seems, however, that the fight on
the part of the principal independents
in the middle west has been shifted to
the Continental Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which is being pro-
NOTED by Fl. c. Stifel and Max Koesler
of st. Louis and John A. Howard Of
West Virginia.
The Bradley Brown interests made
no denial of this and Mr. Bradley today
gave out statement declaring that
the Continental company and its pro-
moters, and not minority stockhold-
ers of independent properties in good
faith instigated the suits against the
United States and Cuyahoga COM
panies.

"A north bound San Pedro street car
at Tenth and San Pedro streets last
night, knocking Maurice Wiesen, a har-
nessmaker living at 401 Central avenue,
to the street, against the curbing, on
the back of his head, causing basal
fracture OF the skull from which he died
two hours later at the receiving hospl-
tai.
The motorman, p. Bailey, was struck
bv the hoof of the frantic horse and
sustained d deep cash on his left knee.
The entire front of the car was wrecked
by the crash of the frantic horse and
the animal sustained cuts and internal
bruises from which he died In few
minutes.
Kicks VestIbule to Pieces
The affair was spectacular indeed.
The San Pedro street car was crowded,
when a horse, unincumbered by mar
ness, came dashing up the street and
plunged directly against the front Ve1-
tibule of the car. There was the sound
of cracking glass, a yell of horror from
the occupants of the front seats, and a
second later Wiesen was tossed to the
street, striking against the curbing.
For a few seconds the frightened
horse fought to disentansle himself
and IN MS eHOTlS llltIdil9 hiNh'u tiiN

leasing himself the horse staggered to
the gutter, cut and bruised by the glass
in the front Of the car, and died in
few minutes.
A record run was made by the police
ambulance to the receiving hospital
but Wiesen never regained conscious
ness and died two hours after being ad-
mtted.
Motorman Bailey was taken to his
home, and it is said that his injuries,
though painful, are not serious.
Women Become HystericsI
A number of women on the ear in the
front Vestibule became hysterlcal and
confusion reigned for several minutes.
The horse Is said to have been owned
by George A. Ralphs, a grocer. and
while 1t was being unhitehed by the
driver at the stables OF Forrest Gar
rett 524 East Ninth street, became
| frightened and ran away.
The boy who was unhitehinG the
horse followed. but the horse was
| frightened and started south along san
Pedro street at rapid speed.
The crowded San Pedro street car
was lust rounding the corner OF Tenth
and san Pedro street filled with work
men returning to their homes, when the
maddened animal leaped directly
against the front of the car, kicking
frantically.
For a long time it was impossible to
learn the details Of the accident as the
crew Of the car stated that they Wore
under orders from the Los Angeles
Railway company not to give out any
details of any accident that might hap
pen. The car crew were in no way to
blame, but simply stated that they
could not give out any statement OF
the accident, which was later obtained
from passengers on the car.
Wiesen never regained consciousness.
His body was sent to the undertaking
pariors of Bresee Bros. and the matter
was reported to the coroner's office. The
inquest will be held today.

land my husband spent $4,000 a year
on me l would live with him"
Mr.. Mcintyre had in mind Mrs. Mary
Blair Brokaw, who prefers $4,000 a
year alimony and a separation from
her husband, w. Gould Brokaw. Her
suit is now being tried at Mineola,
L. l.
MIR. Brokaw," Mr.. Mcintyre con-
tinued, "is as good and kind a husband
as the Lord ever created to walk on his
green footstool."
Counsel for Mrs. Brokaw called Nina
Liable, a servant formerly in his CLIENT S
employ, to refute this contention.
Says Brokaw Was Drunk
"Do you remember" h asked, 'aA
occasion on which Mr.. and Mrs.
Brokaw and DR.. Shipman came from
New York and stayed at the Gilberts?"
Mrs. Gilbert is Mr.. Brokaw's sister,
and counsel explained that he alluded
to an occasion when Mrs. Brokaw is
alleged to have sought refuge from her
husband with her sister-in-law.
Yes" said the maid, Mr. Brokaw
was drunk"
NO" exclaimed Mr.. Mcintyre.

maid who is a Finlander, but few
words are enough to describe his con-
ditfon."
Defendants Affairs Referred To
The testimony reverted to Mr.
Brokaw's ability or inability to pay
the alimony demanded.
John II. Armstrong, an executor Of
the will of the late w. l. Brokaw, the
defendants father, testified that the
elder BrokawS left $1,490,000 to his SON,
much of it Standard Oil stock.
The treasurer of a brokerage house
swore that his firm holds securities for
w. Gould Brokaw valued at $1,244, 900.
but with a debit column of $1,03O,000.
which leaves Mr. Brokaw a present
balance of only $214,00O.

SUFFRAGETTES ARE BARRED
FROM NEW YORK CITY HALL

NEW YORK, Dec 15.-New York S
board of aldermen has put up the bars
against the advocates of woman suf-
frage.
Two militant suffragettes invaded
the city hall yesterday and attempted
to break into the aldermanic chamber,
where the board was in session.
They got as far as the corridor, but
there they were headed off by the ser
geant-at-arms.
They desired, they said, to sell copies
of their suffrage magazine to each of
the aldermen, and declared that they
would keep coming until they were
successful.
