SANTA FE TO USE PHONES
FOR ITS ORDERS TO TRAINS

Within two months workmen will
have completed the installation of tele-
phones for train dispatching over the
Santa Fe, from Barstow to Los An
geles and San Diego, and after that
date all train orders will be given over
the telephone on the coast lines of this
road.
This is the first great railway system
to use the telephone for train dis
patching and the officials claim that
telephones are proving more success
full than ever their most optimistic
hopes led them to believe possible.
With the telephone the officials claim
they are able to run more than 40 per
cent more trains with safety.
AS soon as the coast lines are COM
pleted it is probable that other bran
ches of the Santa Fe system will have
telephone service installed. Already
the lines out of Denver are preparing
for the change and as soon as this is
finished work will be commenced on
the main line east from Albuquerque
to Newton KaS.

GALLOWAY DOUBTFUL
ABOUT HIS EXACT AGE
Finally Admits, After BIushing,
That He Is More Than Fl

Chief of Police Galloway does not
know his age. At least he does not
know it in public. He is not telling.
He may know it in the secret recesses
of his mind, but for some reason or
other he does not care to let the world
in on it. Among the questions asked
Chief Galloway yesterday, when he
took the stand in the preliminary ex-
animation of Jacob Hartnagel in Judge
Williams court was
'What is your age?"
The chief looked around the court
room for a moment, and then, staring
blankly at Deputy District Attorney
Veitch he said:
"What is your age?"
Chief Galloway shuffled his feet. He
blushed from his collar north to the
apex of his brow. He chewed his little
finger. Spectators were shocked, as
founded, etc, ETC., when the head of
the Los Angeles police department re-
piled:
Doubtful"
Deputy District Attorney We !ch was
not satisfied. He was determined, if he
could not have the accurate figures, to
procure approximate statistics.
"Over 21?" he asked.
YES" replied the chief confidently.
D. D. A. Veitch was satisfied, but the
courtroom buzzed for several minutes.
Attorney Jud Rush almost moved
that the chiefs testimony be thrown
out because of it's uncertainty.

CONVENTION LEAGUE FOR
Los ANGELES PLANNED
Civic Organizations Seek Means
for Inducing Outside Bodies
to Meet Here

A letter has been sent to every or
ganization of a civic or mercantile
nature in Los Angeles asking it to
send representatives to meeting to
be held in the Alexandria hotel Thurs
day. June 16, at which it is proposed
to organize the Convention League or
Southern California, an association
which will assist in securing annual
conventions of different organizations
to this city.
The communication bears the sig
natures of Percy H. Clark of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, John
s. Mitchell of the Southern California
Hotel Mems association and Percy K.
Wilson of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Mines and Oils. These three, APP
pointed by the organizations they rep
resent, are the prime movers in the
proposed plan, and it is through their
efforts that the league will be or
ganized.
other cities, notably San Francisco,
Detroit, Denver, st. Louis and Seattle,
have such organizations. According TO
a number of hotel men and others IN
a position to know, there are great
many small fraternal and scientific
lodges and organizations throughout
the country awaiting invitations TO
come to Los Angeles for their conven-
tions, and the convention league. if
organized, will extend such invitations.
At Thursdays meeting delegates will
be present from different civic and
commercial bodies in this city. They
will discuss the advisability of form
ing the league and will hear the views
of representatives of the Southern
Pacific, the Santa Fe and Salt Lake
railroads, and of several expert pub
licity men. Then, if this gathering de-
cides that such an organization as the
league is wanted here, they will report
back to the bodies they represent and
advise them to appoint directors of the
league. These directors, when ap-
pointed, will meet, elect an executive
committee and proceed to get their
affairs into businesslike shape.
1t is proposed to have each organiza-
ton which is a member of the league
pay a small sum as dues, thus lessen
ing the sum which only one or two
organizations have hitherto been forced
to put up in order to bring conventions
to this city.

CLAIMS CUPID WAS
DROWNED IN RUM
Hotel Man, Seeking Divorce, Says
Wife Is Drunkard-She
Denies Charge
C0URTSHlP WAS PECULIAR
Bottle Alleged to Have Figured
Extensively While Love
Making Proceeded
C0URTSHlP WAS PECULIAR

A contested divorce suit in which the
plaintiff charges the defendant with
being a hopeless drunkard. was COM
menced in Judge James court yester-
day by Henry w. Stanley, formerly
manager of the big Hotel Virginia at
Long Beach, against Mary Agnes Stan
ley, who was formerly cashier at the
Hotel Van Nuys, when her husband
was chief clerk at the same hostelry.
The husband alleges that his wife
has repeatedly become intoxicated in
spite of his efforts to reform her and
that she was too intoxicated to know
what the notice of the action meant
when it was served on her by a deputy
sheriff He claims that when he was
manager of the Hotel Virginia, she
came up to Los Angeles on one occa-
sion and returned to Long Beach at
late hour under the influence of liquor.
He declares she was found by the
clerks and bellboys of the hotel who
had to carry her to her room.
On the stand yesterday the plaintiff
testified that on his marriage he had
presented his wife with a house and
lot at 2916 Roxbury street, valued at
$4,000. They decided to separate, he
said, and he allowed her the home with
the understanding that she was to give
him $1,000. Later she showed a dispo-
sition to reform, he said, and the mat
ter dropped. Other outbreaks on the
part of the defendant, he said, resulted
in their separation, following series
of sprees on the part of his wife.
WIFE HAS CROSS COMPLAINT
He declares that on one occasion she
was found intoxicated by policeman
and brought home. On another oc
casion, he alleges, she was taken to
the city Jail and locked up for the
same reason and he had to provide
bail money for her release.
Stanley declared that for years he
had tried to reform her, but had come
to the conclusion that she Is a con-
firmed drunkard and that 1t is impos-
sible for her to reform"
The husband, on being questioned by
attorneys for the defendant, who has
entered a complaint, charging
failure to provide, admitted that three
months before his marriage to her, he
had met her in the Normal school
grounds with a pint of whisky in his
pocket. He declared he did not ask
her to drink, but that she insisted on
drinking with him.
The defense also endeavored to show
that Stanley had frequently taken
drinks of whisky with her at the table
in the Hotel Virginia. He denied he
had ever drank in company with her.
He admitted, however, when they both
worked at the Van Nuys, he kept a
bottle of whisky in a convenient place
for them both, so they could secure
a drink when they wanted it. He de-
clared, however, that the bottle was
open to the other members of the cleri-
cal force.
The witnesses for the husband had
not concluded their testimony before
adjournment.

Charges Breach of Trust

DENVER, June 10.-Information
charging him with having appropri-
ated to his own use $2750 intrusted to
him for investment was filed in the dis
trict court here yesterday against Clin-

The charges now brought against him
are on the complaint of Joshua Monti,
