VULGARITY WINS A JAIL
SENTENCE FOR SIGN MAN
CASTOR Pleads Guilty; Offers
Bible Quotation in Defense

Charles w. CASTOR, sign writer by
trade, was sentenced to serve sixty
days in Jail by Police Judge Chambers
yesterday morning.
Monday CASTOR pleaded guilty to
using vulgar and obscene" language
in an impromptu talk he delivered in
Los Angeles street, between First and
Second, Sunday afternoon. In entering
his plea, however, he explained that
the Objectionable language was found
in the Bible and that in his opinion any
man had a right to quote from the
Holy Book.
When sentenced yesterday, CASTOR
complained that he was being severely
treated by the court
"Now, your honor" said CASTOR,
there seems to be doubt that the
words 1 used in Sundays address are
actually in the Bible. Will this court
be kind enough to send for the Book?''
The court did not see fit to do that,
and ordered Gaston's removal to the
lookup forthwith.
Castor has stated that he is a So
cialist, but leaders of that party say
he was repudiated years ago and has
no connection with the Socialist move
ment.

MAN FOUND DYING
AFTER AN ASSAULT
Janitor of Spring Street Building
May Not Recover from
Beating
TWO MESSENGERS ARRESTED
One Prisoner Says Attack Caused
When the Victim Became
Angry at a Joke
rWo MESSENGERS ARRESTED

William E. Elwood, janitor living
at Seventy-seventh street and Ver-
mont avenue, is lying unconscious in
the county hospital with a confusion
at the base of the brain which may
prove fatal Harry Falkner, a mes
senger about "a years old, is in the
city prison, charged with felony and
William e. Spencer, also a messenger,
is slated for assault.
Falkner and Spencer wal be held to
await the outcome of Elwoods in
juries. Both are alleged participants
in fight at 446 South Spring street,
which resulted in the janitor's injury.
According to Falkner, he and Spen-
Ger, together with two other messen-
gers whose names have not been made
public, spent Tuesday evening in a
downtown cafe. He said all were
drinking heavily and spent much of
the time twitting each other. Shortly
after o'clock they went on Spring
street and reaching a hallway at 446
South Spring, one Of the group play
fully flung Falkner's cap into the
hallway.
BLAMEs COMPANIONS
Falkner lays Elwood was sweeping
out the hall and returned the cap to
it's owner. A moment later the cap
was again thrown in the hall. This
time, Falkner says, Elwood became
angry, thinking the young men were
teasing him. When Fallxner asked
him for the cap he says the janitor
struck him across the cheek with his
broom handle.
Falkner says he returned to the
street with his cheek bleeding and
told his friends Elwood had inflicted
the wound. In an instant, he says,
Spencer, with the other two young
men, crowded into the hallway and
beat Elwood numerically. Falkner
denies that he took any part in the
fight.
When officers Ingram and Carroll
reached the scene all the messengers
but Falkner had fed. They found Ell
wood stretched on the floor of the
hall, unconscious. He was taken with
Falkner to the receiving hospital.
After having his wound dressed, the
messenger was locked up and Elwood
was taken to the county hospital.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD
REPORT ON TRANSFERS
UNIVERSAL Exchange System Held
to Outweigh Abridgement
on Glendale Line

Answering complaints of patrons of
tric that they are refused transfers to
local cars in the city. the board OF
public utilities reported to the council
yesterday that while some of the for
mer transfers granted have been with
drawn, the city at large has been the
gamer because of universal transfers
granted within the city limits. In its
report the board says:
I'VE have information that in the
case Of the Edendale local cars, Ell
Molino local cars and the Annandale
and Pasadena avenue local cars GER
tain transfers which were previously
given have been withdrawn. The rail-
way companies propose to give trans
fers as heretofore on these lines from
broad guage to broad guage within
the city limits, but have decided to
discontinue such transfers as have
heretofore been given from these broad
guage lines to certain narrow guage
lines and vice versa.
This board realizes that by this
action citizens in certain localities
have lost some privileges which they
heretofore enjoyed but in exchange
for this they and the vast majority Of
citizens Of Los Angeles have secured
very much greater privileges.
"In order to accomplish this impor-
tant end it appears necessary to make
such changes in proprietorship of the
various lines as may bring the new
arrangements strictly within the ap-
plicatiop of certain court decisions.
'It would probably be impossible to
provide any arrangements which
would be absolutely satisfactory to
every citizen. Aside from the legal
questions involved there are other is
sues affecting local service upon in
terurban lines, and in connection with
these complications others have arisen
which to a large extent do not come
within the purview of this board.
after full investigation and careful
deliberation this board is constrained
to express the opinion that the wisest
course will be to allow this question
Of transfers to rest for the present,
with view to thorough inspection of
the practical workings of the new sys-
tenn.
1--WE shall keep the matter we'll in
mind and report to your honorable
body if in our judgment there may be
any better solution of the problem
after complete practical tests of the
system as now in operation.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES"

VETERAN SAIL0R-AUTH0R
LECTURES AT FEDERATION
Captain Whidden Tells of Mer-
chant Marine Days

Nearly so years old, pioneer sea-
faring man who had charge of the
first gold shipped out of California
around the Horn, is Capt John d.
Whidden, who read an interesting pa
per on his maritime life before the
Federation club yesterday. Captain
Whidden is the author of the book,
ocean Life in the Old Sailing Ship
Days." first published two years ago.
Captain Whidden told of his mari
time experiences beginning in 1874,
when he embarked as a boy and voy-
aged on all the oceans Of the globe.
Captain Whidden said:
'I have the honor to appear before
you this afternoon as a representa-
tive of the old-time shipmasters. One
of the few still left on deck, but hale
and hearty yet, hoping to pass the
century mark in this glorious climate
of Southern California, the ideal spot
for an all the year round abiding
place.
Born in Boston but brought up in
the old historic town of Marblehead,
Mass, early imbibed strong love
for the sea and at IL years left school
and entered upon my sea life of an
experience OF a quarter of century in
nearly every section of the globe"
Captain Whidden gave a vivid ac-
count of the gala day at sea when
crossing the equator in honor of King
Neptune and his wife, Aphrodite, the
members of the crew in costume
who went on board to see who had
been invading their domain without
having been properly initiated, and
likewise initiating the greenhorns
aboard.
Captain Whidden deplored the pres
ent maritime conditions of the United
States, declaring that a ship subsidy
is needed and that the tariff restric-
tions are inimical to the building of
merchant fleets.

CALIFORNIA AERO CLUB
AFTER 1000 MEMBERSHIP
Campaign Starts to Hold Great
est Aviation Meet in America
in Los Angeles

The Aero club of California has
started a campaign to increase its
membership to 500 in order to procure
a sanction from the national council
for the holding of an aeroplane meet
in Los Angeles in January. The Of
ficials Of the Aero club believe that
with this membership, which would
make it one of the two largest aero
societies in America, their prestige
would be greatly increased and enable
them to hold an aviation meet here
this winter that would eclipse any
thing yet carried out on this continent
in the aviation line.
The membership of the Aero club Of
California at present consists of sixty
five. Every member is interested in
directly in aviation work. The MEM
bers either own aeroplanes or, are en-
gagged in the manufacture of them. 1t
is proposed that many of the prominent
business men of the city be asked to
join, and thus lend more weight to the
request of the Aero club for national
meet in Los Angeles.
Buel Fl. Green, secretary of the Aero
club, has planned to send out 2500 let
ters to prominent citizens in the city
with the object of enlisting them as
members of the club and aid in max
ing Los Angeles the aeroplane center of

selected by the bird men for their
practice, instead of the one used on the
ranch during aviation week. 1t is one
half mile west of the old field and Is
on table land sixty to ninety feet wide.
It. is perfectly fiat and is an ideal spot
for the bird men to make use of their
wings.
Arrangements are now being made
in the east to bring noted aviators here
this winter by George Harrison, repre-
sentative of the Aero club in the ma
tional council. He has stated in his
letters to the officials of the club that
many of the aeroplanists are arrang-
ing to pass the winter in Los Angeles.
Roy Knabenshue, the aviator, and
his family are expected to arrive in
Los Angeles next week.

STRIKING BLOW OF DEATH
Prisoner Shows NonchaIance
During Court Proceedings

Thomas j. Dunn, who is said to have
confessed striking the blow which re-
suited in the death of oscar Urban
Rueppel on the night of October 29,
was arraigned in Police Judge Cham
bers' court yesterday afternoon on a
charge of manslaughter. The prelimi-
nary hearing was set for tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock and bail was
fixed at $4,000.
Asked if he had an attorney, Dunn
replied that he was friendless and did
not intend to secure counsel. He said
he had no preference as to the time of
his preliminary examination. During
the few minutes he remained in court
he chewed nonchalantly on cigar and
did not seem to take the situation
seriously.
1t was announced at the detectives
office yesterday morning that Dunn's
friend, John w. Pierson, who was with
Dunn when he accosted Rueppel in
South Main street, stated positively
that Dunn struck the blow which felled
the victim to the sidewalk, fracturing
his skull and resulting in his death.
According to Dunn, he asked Ruep-
pei for money Being refused, he ad-
mitted knocking Rueppel down with a
blow on the head.

Settlement of Minor Features of

Effected Today
ENGINEERS EXAMINE ROADS

That the conference between officers
of the Southern Pacific and Pacific
Electric railway officials, preliminary
to turning over the latter road to the
Southern Pacific in exchange for the
Southern Pacific's holdings in the Los
Angeles Railway corporation, Is
progressing toward a rapid and salts
factory settlement, was the statement
of officers of the Pacific Electric COM
pany yesterday.
The main features of the deal prac-
tically have been settled, little remain
ing now to be done with the exception
of arranging details.
It is stated with authority that the
sale of the Pacific Electric to the
Southern Pacific in exchange for the
holdings of the latter company in the
Los Angeles Street railway has been
definitely agreed upon by Mr.. Hunt
ington and the Huntington interests.
At present the time of those in con-
ference is being taken up with the
engineering department of the Pacific
Electric company, it being the purpose
to secure minute details as to the
exact holdings of the elect..- company.
In all probability the engineering de-
partment of the Los Angeles & Re-
dondo railway will be called into the
conference today to give an account

STATEMENT OF w. f. DUNN
When asked for statement last
evening, ". e. Dunn, head of the Pa
cific Electric company's legal depart
ment and, next to Mr.. Huntington, the
most authoritative figure in the tran
sacti0n, said:
Nothing has been definitely settled
that is positive. The taking over Of
the Pacific Electric by the Southern
Pacific is, frankly, the object Of the
present conference, and to secure a
satisfactory arrangement by which
such deal can be transacted is what
those in the conference are making
every effort to accomplish.
"As yet such a satisfactory arrange
ment has not been made-it could not
be made in a short two days. How
ever, things are progressing very nice
ly-are rounding themselves out so
that we are beginning to see daylight
ahead, and in all probability they will
have assumed such shape by this time
tomorrow that definite statement of
tust what has occurred can be given
out We will meet again tomorrow
morning to continue the work.
To-day has been spent with the en-
gineers of the Pacific Electric COM
pany going into the details of the road.
This same course will probably be con-
tinued tomorrow"
