Electric Service Cuts Out Santa Fe

Electric Service Cuts Out Santa Fe
From Coast Business
San Bernardino, Cal. Feb. 21-
Passenger service on the Redondo line
of the Santa Fe has been abandoned.
Effective today, no more passengers
will be handled over this branch.
which for q number of years, before
the advent of the electric lines, was
one of the best paying pieces of track
on the system.
For several years a mixed train has
been run between Los Angeles and Re
dondo, handling both passenger and
freight equipment, but it has been
found that the additional expense in
providing for the accommodation of
passengers was not met by the volume
of business. The officials therefore de-
cided to abandon that service and it
will now be impossible to purchase
tickets to points on the branch Re-
dondo can not be entered on a steam
line. All ticket agents have been in
structed to refer all passengers to the
electric companies for transportation
to that beach point or other stations
on the line
Freight service will still be main
tanned, as a vast amount of business is
derived in the transporting of cargoes
to and from ships entering the port.
Two freight trains are run each way
daily.
1t is possible that during the sum-
mer months passenger service will be
re-eSta blished

The Western Pacific has decided to

WON'T ACCEPT LIQUOR ADS.
Railroads Publishing Magazines Set

The Santa Fe, Rock Island, Erie and

the advertising pay for the publica-

An insignificant river at most times,
it is subject to great floods. Colon had
100 inches of rain last year, as COM

Kept Up Deception.
Thus began a farce kept up

that before the queen came to the
throne all who were cognizant of
the fact were either put out of the
way or effectively gagged. THE
Virgin Queen" lived and reigned,
flirted and swore; the wars in the
low countries dragged on; the
"Invincible Armada came and
was scattered-and all those years
the secret was well kept. Not even
the hatred engendered by the
cruel execution of Mary Queen of

Bran Stol1er's New Book on Fa-
nous Imposters" Sets Forth
the Tradition of Engiand's Nir-
gin Ruler.
Was Queen Elizabeth a man?

Was Queen Elizabeth a man?
It's quite generally admitted
that Good Queen Bess'' could
swear like a man, and that in
many other particulars she was
"mannish," but that she was actu-
ally man--that idea is certain to
seem absurd to the average mind.
But why absurdg For centuries
there have been folks who be-
lieved it on good circumstantial
and traditional evidence. In his
forthcoming book on Famous I'M
posters" Bran Stoker sets forth
this evidence. He doesn't actually
assert that the queen was a man,
but he advances the idea as a rea-
sonable theory.
Was This the Secret?
In the first place, says Mr..
Stoker, there was admittedly some
mysterious secret connected with
the life of Elizabeth. Elizabethan
chronicle is full of hints of this
mystery, and of further hints that
it had something to do with the
oft-repeated protest of the queen
that she would never marry.
Elizabeth is commonly held
to have been the daughter of
Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. The
"Bisley Boy" story has it that
"she" was neither the daughter
of the king nor Anne-in fact,
'nobody's" daughter-but was
rather a boy of humble parent
age picked up at random near the
manor house of Bisley. This is
the story:
