MUST STOP, SAYS COURT
Justice SummerfieId Releases
Men Accused by Water
Co. of Mischief

After calling several witnesses yes
terday in the preliminary examination
of Mat Angel, A. G. Miller and George
l.. Adams, who are charged with hav-
ing committed malicious mischief on
the property of the Longview Land

own recOgnizance until September 21,
engage in any controversy pending the
bench warrants for their rearrest and
would place them IN the county Jail.

the water company, who claims that
the defendants, in company with
Frank Angel, Albert Martin and
George Angel, trespassed on the land
of the company and after battering
several of the employees, tore down
dams constructed in Big Rock creek.
Warrants are out for the arrest of
Frank Angel, Albert Martin and
George Angel, but they have not been

obstruction in Big Bear creek Assist
ant District Attorney NeWmire, who
is handling the case against the men,
stated in court yesterday that the law
only gives them the right to start in
junction proceedings in order to have
the dams removed. The defendants
live in the northern part of the county
on desert land.

Los ANGELES MAY GET
WORLDS PEACE CONGRESS
Convention League Is Asked to
Make Attempt to Secure
1915 Session

1t is possible that the 1915 conven-
tion of the Worlds Peace congress will
be held in this city. Robert c. Root
local representative of the American
Peace society, has asked the Conven-
tion league to use it's influence in pre-
senting the claims of Los Angeles to
the delegates. The congress is now IN
session at Stockholm, Sweden. Before
1t is concluded a message probably will!
be sent from here asking the delegates
to favorably consider Los Angeles IN
making future plans for convention
city.
Next year the peace advocates of the
world undoubtedly will meet in some
other European capital.
Root, who has recently come here to
represent the American Peace society
on the Pacific coast, says the meet
ings of the peace congress brings to-
gether lot of learned men, including
jurists, scientists, college presidents
and governors OF states and territories.
The society has much to do with in
creasing the commerce of the world,
according to Root. He explains this
by saying that If there is peace COM
merce multiplies; If there Is war ship
ping suffers and commerce depreciates.
Root will appear before the execu-
tive committee of the Convention
league Wednesday ""-o"roon next to
outline his ideas in reference to get
ting the peace delegates here.

L. A. RAILWAY MAY ABANDON
LINE TO RIVER STATION
Association Asks the Council to
Grant Franchise

Merchants of the River station dis
trict are alarmed over the probability
that unless the city council grants the
Los Angeles railway a franchise in
Ann and Alpine streets the present line
operated in Ann street will have to be
torn out and the line abandoned.
A meeting was held yesterday after
noon by the Northside Improvement
association in the Chamber of Com
merce building and resolution calling
on the council to grant the franchises
in question was adopted.
At the time the plans of the Buena
Vista street bridge were adopted the
Los Angeles Railway company offered
nearly $100, 900 for the building of the
bridge on consideration that the Ann
and Alpine street franchises be grant
ed. A contract covering this point was
drawn up, but because such contract
could not be legally enforced it was
Nstroyed and an oral agreement was
tered into with the old council.
IN the strength of this agreement
the Los Angeles Railway company tore
up the San Fernando street tracks at
the old viaduct and built line on Ann
street from Main to San Fernando. 1t
is over this line that the River station
cars are being operated to East Los
Angeles.
When the formal application for the
franchise was made the new council
failed to grant it, and the company now
faces the necessity of tearing out it's
tracks in Ann street. This will mean
the abandonment of the line to River
station and the cutting off of the East
Los Angeles line at the river

taking parlors of j. d. Button, where

MAN JUMPS IL FEET WHEN
LANDLADY SAYS BULLS

A report that a burglar had been
trapped in the rear of tailor shop
at 500 Temple street caused consid-
cradle excitement in the block last
night. A wagonload of officers were
rushed to the scene, but no arrest
was made.
Mary e. Rees, landlady of a lodging
house above the tailoring establish
ment, informed the police that a re-
cent arrival at her house, who regis
tered as Nick George, was proving
about the corridors when she told him
that unless he went to his room she
would call the bulls"
When she mentioned the word
"bulls" the man jumped out of a rear
window, a drop of twelve feet and,
scaling a. fence, made his escape, A
tailor heard the roomer as he alighted
in the yard and on seeing the man he
became alarmed and did not venture
into the yard until the arrival of the
police. 1t is believed that the man
feared being questioned by officers.

Days Celebration

The Hassayampa club of Los An

with a picnic and banquet August 16,

returned to the engine house another
call was received from 657 Phillio
