CUPID APPEARS
IN TRIPLE SUIT
ROMANCE REVEALED IN AC-
TlON FOR DAMAGES
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Cooper, Injured by
Car in Courtship Days, ASK
$4,000 from Railway
Company

A triple damage suit of unusual in
terest commenced in Judge Bordwelrs
court yesterday In which Miss Lulu b.
Cliff. who does not exist, and william
II. Cooper are suing the Los Angeles
Pacific Railway company for dam
ages aggregating $11500 for injuries
sustained in a collision with car at
the corner of Western avenue and SIX
teenth street September u, 1908.
Miss Lulu Cliff is suing for $4,000
damages for permanent injuries she al
leges she has sustained. Cooper is su
ing for S6500 for personal injuries ana
Doctors bills. He is also suing 1or
S1400 the extent of the damage ne
alleges was done to his automobile on
the fateful night.
All three cases are being tried with
the one jury and separate verdicts VIII
be given. The evidence in all three
cases will be the same, and the pecu-
liar feature of the affair is that while
Miss Lulu Cliff is one of the plain
tiffs she is represented by Mrs w. II.
Cooper, who didn't exist at the time OF
the accident This is explained by the
fact that Miss Lulu Cliff married
Cooper about three months after the
accident.
They were an engaged couple at the
time OF Ine dCCluenI anu hdu pDCh
down to Alamitos Bay to enjoy fish
dinner, with a beautiful moonlight
ride back to the city as desert. They
were bowling along Western avenue at
peace with the world when they sud
denly collided with a Los Angeles
Pacific companys car.
On the stand the plaintiffs declared
the motorman on the car failed to give
signal of any description, and as
some trees hid the corner they were
unable to see anything until they were
struck. 1t is on this ground that they
have brought the suits.
The defense declares an alarm was
given, but that the couple did not ap-
pear to notice the car, although the
conductor declared he saw them all
right, in spite of the trees, and ex-
pected they would turn or stop.
The crash demolished the automo-
bile and threw the occupants con-
siderable distance, and they allege per-
manent injury and shock to their sys-
TENS from which they have not yet
recovered. On the stand Cooper de-
clared he had been confined to his bed
for over two weeks following the ac-
cident.
The defense sprung a surprise in
court on this testimony by producing
photograph of Cooper, which he was
compelled to admit had been taken
the day after the accident in a local
garage, where he was having a photo
of his wrecked machine made. The
photo showed him standing beside the
damaged machine.
The testimony continued late in the
afternoon and the prosecution and de-
fense still had a number of witnesses
to be heard when court adjourned.

SEEK TRANSFER OF $4,000
TO WATER DEPARTMENT
Sum Turned in to City Treasury by
Southern Pacific In the
Wrong Fund

There is $4,000 in the city treasury
that really does not belong there, and
the board of public works is trying to
evolve some method to put 1t where
1t belongs, in the hands of the water
department.
The water department has presented
a bill against the city for this amount
for reimbursement for the expense to
which It was put for moving water
pipes on Buena Vista street. The
money has been paid in by the South
ern Pacific. but it has been credited to
the bridge fund, and unless the council
transfers 1t to the water department
II may have to stay in the bridge fund.
The payment of the $4,000 was one
of the considerations between the city
and the Southern Pacific in conenction
with the construction of the Buena
Vista Viaduct.

to add:
There is less objection to 1t in our

GIVES OUT RESOLUTIONS

Milwaukee, Wis, June 2s-victor
Berger has made public a set of reso-
lutions criticising the authorities of
the Postoffice Department of the Unit
ed States which were unanimously
adopted by the national executive
board of the Social Democratic party
of America at a meeting held in Chi
cago Saturday.
The resolutions are the outgrowth OF
alleged dismissal of efficient employees
of various postofices, including Chica-
go and Indianapolis.
The preamble and resolutions read
as follows:
Whereas, the absolutely unhamper-
ed right to organize for the attainment
OF better conditions is a prime necessi-
ty for the welfare of every wage work,
err, no matter whether he be the EN-.
ploye of private concern, of a corpor-
alton or of the government, and,
Whereas, the authorities of the
Postoff1ce Department of the United
States interfere with every effort of or
ganization on the part of the employees
of that department and lately have
discharged some OF the most efficient
postal clerks because of their union
activity and,
Whereas. this despotic attitude OF
the Postoff1ce Department is most op
pressive to about 100000 citizens OF
the United States who are employees OF
that department, and deprives them OF
their rights as citizens and working
men: therefore. be it
Resolved, That we most emphati-
cally protest against this undemocratie
and unconstitutional policy of the au-
thorities of the Postoffice Department
of the United States. We demand that
Congress investigate that department,
! and remedy its defects, both as to the
