CITY MAY BRIDGE
BREACH WITH THE
ELECTRIC ROADS
Utilities Board Holds important
Conference with Hunting
ton Over Differences
MAY REACH A SETTLEMENT
Lines May ReCede from the Stand
on Franchises Municipal
ity Outlines Position
MAY REACH A SETTLEMENT

What may prove to be one of the
most important moves yet made by the
board of public utilities developed yes
terday when members of the board, re-
inforced by City Attorney Leslie X.
Hewitt and Assistant City Attorney
John Shenk, held a long conference with
Henry e. Huntington and w. E. Dunn,
Huntington's attorney, representing the
Los Angeles Street Railway company,
the Pacific Electric company and the
Los Angeles -Redondo company.
The conference touched on practically
every subject over which there has
arisen any difference of opinion between
the companies and the city govern
ment. 1t ranged from universal trans
fers, freight carrying, 21-year fran
chises and other similar difficulties to
the proper fares to be charged between
Wilmington and San Pedro. At Its
close the board agreed to draw up a
memorandum of the city's position on
the several points In controversy and
submit it to Mr.. Huntington.
The meeting was the first of the kind
held since the board of public utilities
was created, and 1t developed the first
indication given by the Huntington in
terests that they may recede from the
position assumed at the time the pres
ent 21-year franchise limitation was in
serted in the city charter. Then the
roads declared they never would apply
for q franchise running only that length
of time and would do no more building
within the city limits until that re-
striction had been removed.
FRANCHISE DISCUSSED
Considerable time at yesterdays con-
ference, however, was deVoetd to a
discussion OF q possible street railway
franchise on San Pedro street, the main
object being to relieve the car conges-
tion on Main street. In this connec-
tion Mr.. Huntington asked significantly
If the city purposed to stick to Its
policy of granting franchises only to
individuals or corporations for their
own use. This is one of the queries the
board will answer in it's memorandum.
Regarding universal transfers, Mr..
Huntington declared that no transfer
from the systems he represented to the
Los Angeles-Pacific lines would be pos
sible. He said little regarding transfers
between the Los Angeles street railway
the yellow cars-and those of the
Pacific Electric, but he listened atten-
lively to the suggestions of the board
along that line.
The board asked that 5-cent fare
be established between San Pedro and
Wilmington, the present charge being
10 cents. The board also asked that a
scent fare be granted to Manchester
avenue. AT present lHe O-ceHI ldIe
limit is Florence avenue, though twenty
tickets may be purchased for 81, good
through to Manchester from any point
in the city.
Other matters under discussion in
cluded freight franchises, the old South
Park franchise and the situation of the
Los Angeles -Redondo line which is per-
mitted to come into the downtown dis
trict only on sufferance, the road own
ing no franchise rights north of Jeffer-
son street.

C.R. PARNELL COMMITS SUICIDE.
Financial Troubles Supposed to
Have Prompted Deed.

Lamar, August S.-The entire
town was shocked and saddened when
it became known that Mr.. Chester R.
Parnell, a popular and prominent
young man of this town, had COM
mitted suicide by taking strychnine
to-day at noon. There is &c motive
that can be assigned for this deplora-
BILE act of Mr.. Parnell, but the gen.
eral supposition is that financial af-
fairs are responsible for the rash
deed, he having lost all of his prop
erty while he was in the furniture
business in Georgetown, where he
had done business for the past five
years up until June Of this year, since
which time he has made his home in
Lamar, where he was raised.
Mr.. Parnell is survived by his wife,
one child, his parents and several
brothers and sisters, all of Lamar.
He was & member of the Elks Lodge
at Georgetown. The interment will
take place at Newman Swamp ceme-
terry tomorrow morning at eleven
o'clock.

Death at Ehrhardt.

Ehrhardt, August Son last Fri
day morning the soul of Isaac, the
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. j.
HERS, went back to it's Creator. He
was sick only a few days and his
death came as a great shock to all.
The death of this young man, not yet
nineteen years old, apparently in
good health, should remind us that
death is ever near-that his icy
hands may be laid upon us at any
time. The father and mother have
lost a devoted son, the brothers and
sisters kind and loving brother, and
the community one of its noblest
young men. He was gentleman. in
the truest sense of that word, always
and everywhere. He was always
ready and willing to lend helping
hand wherever needed. He was kind
and courteous to all, and he made
friends wherever he went. He was
a good church member and devoted
Sunday-school scholar, always there
when possible with a well prepared
lesson.
1t was my privilege to have him
as one of my students IN the Ehr-
hardt high school last session. A
teacher never had better student.
He was faithful, obedient and intel
ligent. He had bright mind, and
he was striving hard to prepare him
self for a life of usefulness. 1t was
great pleasure to teach him. He
had a bright future before him. His
purity of character, his intellectual
ability, and his earnest desire to get
an education gave promise of his be-
coming a useful man. But God in
His wisdom has seen fit to take him
from US and to-day he is asleep in
Jesus, blessed sleep. w. F. H.

The Love Story of George v.

Hardly had the betrothal Of Prince
George and Princess Mary been an
nounced," says Philip Hume Forster
in the Womans Home Companion for
August, when the future Queen OF
England had opportunity to test her
sense of duty and her self-control.
While the Duke of Clarence had been
studying craftsmanship as heir to
the English throne, Prince George
had been slowly but surely advanc-
ing in the royal navy. AS an. ad-
miral his flagship had been stationed
off Malta, and here he had met,
wooed and won the beautiful daugh-
ter of Admiral Seymour. Before
marrying her, Prince George had
written a formal renunciation of his
claims to the throne of England and
for a few years had lived very hap
nv with the fair-headed. blue-eyed
English wife who fitted from colonial
port to colonial port to meet her
royal husband. One winter they spent
in Bermuda, where they were most
popular with both English and
American residents.
when Prince George found him
self almost at the foot of the throne
through the death of his brother, ne
realized that it was one thing to re-
nounce the throne and another to
have his remuneration accepted.
Queen Victoria and all the political
powers behind her insisted upon the
annulment of the romantic marriage,
so the engagement of Princess Mary
and Prince George was shadoWed Dy
this ugly cloud. The young princess
did not indulge in Mysteries. There
were no recriminations nor unpleas-
ant scenes for Prince George to en-
dure. AS his wife, she believed that
she should and would be able to hold
his affections, and she went about
the task of winning the love of the
man whom fate had decided should
lead her to the throne. In fact, it
was generally felt in England that
she was more deeply in love with
Prince George than with his unfortu-
nate brother.
1.-The morganatic wife of Prince
George was provided for, it is said,
by no less a person than his mother,
and since then no shadow of scandaI
has ever entered the life of the young
couple.
