Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

Los ANGELES, Feb. 16.-Mrs. Rus
sell Sage, whose prodigality bids fair
to become as much a byword as the
frugality of the former call money
king of Wall street, is on a visit to
this section of the state, and her pres
ence here has given rise to specula
ton regarding the possibility of some
donation from the Sage millions.
When asked if she would make any
requests to southern California insti-
tutions, Mrs. Sage exclaimed: You
seem to have everything you need here
now" Beyond this one expression she
refused to make public her intentions
during her stay in the southwest.
Mrs. Sage was driven about Pasa-

the afternoon and was. taken ON a
short excursion up Sycamore canyon,
one of the most picturesque spots near
the city.
She has taken Walter Raymond's cot

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PLANS NEW ROUTE
Colorado to Be Connected With
TranscOntinentaI Line Con-
stracted in Arizona
Several Hundred Miles of Dis
lance Between Los Angeles
and Denver to Be Cut Off

DENVER, Feb. 16.-Colorado is to be
connected with a new transeontinental
route to be constructed by the Southern
Pacific in Arizona, and the new line
will cut several hundred miles from the
distance between Denver and Los An
geles. Behind the Arizona Eastern
railroad company which was incorpor-
ated in Arizona last week with $4,000,
600 capital, are much more extensive
construction plans than the building of
a single line to Durango.
Official information has been obtained
as to the plans of the Hartman system
which will reveal the fact that the new
construction will prove one of the most
beneficial projects, so far as Colorado
is concerned. that have been launched
for several years. The line, which is
to be built to connection with the
Denver and Rio Grande at Durango, is
to be made a main line instead of a
branch, and it is only one Of several
which are to be constructed.
NEW TRANSCONTINENTA LINE
The Arizona Eastern will be made
into a system comprising 1,S77 miles
of track, or a system about equal in
size to the main lines of the Colorado
and Southern. OF the $4,000, 900 cap
ital stock authorized s5.S21, 400 will be
used to take over the ella Valley, Globe
and Northern, the Maricopa and Phoe-
nix, the Arizona and Colorado and the
Phoenix and Eastern, all of which are
subsidiary lines of the Southern Pa
cific. A new transcontinental line will
be built via Yuma and Phoenix and
from this line extensions will be made
in two directions into Colorado.
The new line from Yuma on the pres
ent main line to Phoenix will be 100
miles long. The Phoenix and Eastern
tracks will be used from Phoenix to
Winkleman, from which point new
tracks will be constructed to Lords
burg, n. NJ, another point on the pres
ent main line. This route will COM
prise ESQ miles. The main line into
Colorado will start from San Carlos,
Ariz.. and run via Talklair- to Globe,
thence to the boundary line between
New Mexico and Colorado. where it is
intercepted by the Las Animas river.
In Colorado it will re extended north
to Durango. This line will be 42S
miles long. There will be 271 miles of
branch lines to this road, including one
from Talklair northeasterly TO the New
Mexican border, zoo miles long.
SECOND LINE INTO STATE
The second line into Colorado will
start at the mouth OF the San Fran
cisco river in Graham county. Arizona,
and run via Clifton to a connection
with the main line between Aztec and
Pennington, about rs miles south of
Durango. There will be 1S7 miles of
branches and connecting links built.
The Durango line will connect with
the new transcontinental line through
Arizona and furnish the shortest route
from Denver Omaha and Chicago To
Los Angeles. 1t will save at least $50
and possibly ESQ miles over the present
shortest route.
The Clifton line is to open through
route to the Mexican lines of the South
ern Pacific.

junction Lieutenant Oman refused to
honor them. There was a lengthy dis
cussion, threats of an action to have
Oman and his subordinates punished
for contempt of court and a hurried
telephone message to Chief Martin.
Oman took the position that he was
acting only under the positive instruc-
tions of his superior. Martin at once
gave orders to permit the Taylor board
members TO enter and visited the place
few minutes later in an automobile,
withdrawing Oman and the policemen
under him.
Leon S. Clayburgh, James J. McTier-
nan and James Z. Power, the three
Mccarthy appointees had taken pos
session of the private Offices of the old
board members at an early hour and
were disinclined to be shorn of their
recently acquired hoDors without pro-
test. Mrs. Kincaid had by this time
joined Bannerman and Payot and the
three presented their writs of injunc
ton to their wouldbe successors, who
voiced their objections and retired.
The overnight occupancy of the COM
mission headquarters by the Mccarthy
appointees had wrought several
changes. The locks were gone off the
doors to the private rooms of the mem
bers, one of the desks had been opened
with a chisel and the tin signs con-
tanning the names of the Taylor mem
bers of the board had been removed
from the doors and were found bat
tered up and thrown into out of the
way corners. The Taylor members
promptly removed the sheets of paper
which bore the names of the Mccarthy
appointees on the various doors and
replaced them with new sheets bear
ing their own names.

Hard Fight Promised

Frank J. Murphy, attorney for the
administration appointees. said yester-
day afternoon that in the event of
failure in the attempt to have the in
functions dissolved an appeal would be
taken and that quo warranto proceed
ings would be Instituted at the same
time Members of the old board reit-
Grated their assertions that the case
would be fought to the highest courts

termination, once for all, of the right
Of mayor to remove members of the
school board
Judging from the opinions delivered
by Judge Sturtevant Tuesday in con-
nection with the board of education and
board of health cases, there is little
likelihood that he viii order the pres
ent injunctions dissolved. The rule laid
down by him in those decisions was
practically to the effect that de facto
officers in actual possession were en-
titled to an injunction against other
claimants, and by the issuance of the
second injunction Tuesday evening he
to all intents, acknowledged the Taylor
members of the board as the de facto
officers
Failure on the part Of the Mccarthy
appontees to have the present injunc-
ton dissolved will insure the TAYLOR
members the occupancy of the office
for several weeks at least, as neither
an appeal nor an action in quo war
ranto can be settled within a short
time.
Attorney Arthur Barendt. one of the
Taylor members of the board Of health.

refused Tuesday night, declared YES

PROGRESSIVES WILL
CONTROL CONVENTION
With A Large Majority OF Delegates
They Will Make Platform And
Elect Central Committee.

Notwithstanding the persistent claims
made by the Regular republicans at
Des Moines that they would control the
state convention the, figures received
from the county conventions show that
the Progressives have majority of
about two hundred and will therefore
have full control of the state convention
at Des Monies on the third day of
August. Whether this power will be
used with discretion remains to be seen.
This will not be done if the radical
leaders are allowed to dictate because
they are DESTROYS of lambasting the
other faction without any regard for
the welfare of the party.
Heretofore the members of the State
Central Committee have been selected
by the Congressional districts, but this
year it is proposed to select them by the
State Convention without any regard to
the wishes of the delegates of any dis
trict. And it seems that this may be
done under provision of the new pir-
mary law
The section under which it is said they
are planning to grab and hold control
of the state central committee, regard
less of whether or not the stalwarts
control majority of the districts, is
section 10S7a27 of the code which reads
as follows:
THE state convention shall elect a
state central committee consisting of
