ADJUSTERS FIGURE LOSS
IN BROADWAY STORE FIRE
Several Thousand Dollars Covers
Damage to Stock

A week ago last Thursday, November
II, the Broadway department store sut-
fered from a loss by fire in their re-
ceiving room.
This fire occurred about 7 o'clock in
the mornig, originating in the elevator
shaft of the Sherman hotel and break
ing through a partition into the prem
ises occupied by the Broadway depart
ment store as a receiving room.
Owing to the promptness of the fire
department, as well as the assistance
that was rendered by the employees OF
the hotel and the store, the fire was
quickly subdued,
The loss sustained by the Broadway
department store was largely confined
to mems and women's furnishings, do
nestics and linens. A considerable
quantity of yarns was burned, while
there was also great deal of merchan-
disc damaged by smoke and water.
Some thirty companies had insurance
policies on this risk, and these compa-
MES nut the matter of adjustment in
the hands of Messrs. MCGOWAN, Cole,
Tower and Rowe, who made a thorough
inspection of the damage.
The loss as finally adjusted amounted
TO several thousand dollars.

Mrs. Georgiana Bullock Obtains
Divorce, Charging Failure to
Provide and Cruelty

Among the acts of cruelty charged
to William w. Bullock, from whom
Georgiana p Bullock was divorced
yesterday by Judge aConrey of the su-
perior court, was his refusing to per
NIT her to dance twice with the same
man.
The plaintiff declared that such ac-
tion on the part of her husband caused
her great distress, as it necessitated
her making explanations to the objects
of her husbands alleged jealousy. She
also told the court of Bulocks failing
to provide for her, of how she tried to
make a living for both and of the gen
eral unhappiness that clouded her mar
ital life. She was represented by John
Perry Wood, city attorney of Pasa-
dent, who January l will take his seat
on the Los Angeles superior bench.
Another divorce granted yesterday
by the same jurlst was one by which
Ethel A. Gillian was freed from Frank
Gillian. She proved to the court that

CONGRESSMAN SMITH SAYS
S, P. GRANTS HINGE ON LAW
Declares R. R. Did Not Know Oil
Was on Land When Patented

"There is no question in my mind
but that the dispute over. the Southern
Pacific title to the land grants in and
around the oil regions is entirely a
question of law" said Congressman S.
c. Smith of Bakersfield at the Van
Nuys last evening" "I do not think
that the railroad had the slightest
suspicion that there was oil in the
land when it secured a patent to it,
In fact, / am almost sure of it, The
claim that the company was aware of
the great value Of the land, on account
of the oil deposits in it, when it was
patented is absurd The company
knew no more about it than anyone
else.
"How do I know it?
"Well. I'll tell you. The Southern
Pacific company once sold five sec
tions of the land which is now the
heart of the oil district around Bakers
field for $3.50 an acre. That same
land would now sell-or at least has
sold-for as high as $4,000 an acre. If
the Southern Pacific had known that
oil existed in the land it sold, does
anyone think it would have parted
with it
mo. indeed, it would not The
Southern Pacific doesn't do business
that way. The company was as in
nocent of knowledge of oil in that land
as anyone else The whole question
now is one of law, not of previous
knowledge of the value of the land

COUNCIL MAY PROHIBIT
GLENDALE RAIL TRAFFIC
Pacific Electric to Be Compelled
to Comply with Law
on Franchise

The Pacific Electric company may
have to stop running its Glendale and
Edendale cars or secure franchise
from the city. Councilman Gregory
announced at the session of the legls-
lation committee yesterday that he
would introduce a resolution to the
council Tuesday to stop this line and
instructed the city attorney to pre-
pare the necessary notice.
This is the result of a long contro-
versy between the Pacific Electric ana
the citizens of Edendale. The Eden
dale people say they are willing TO
walk for a time if they can make the
railway do the things it has been asked
to do.
QUESTION OF PRIVATE WAY
The Pacific Electric has a franchise
for part of the line and private rlght
of Way the rest of the distance, but
this private right crosses some puplc
streets on which it has no franchise. d.
An agreement between the city ana
the railway was drawn up seVeral
weeks ago in which the railway was
to deed a part of it's right of way Tor
street purposes, build retaining walls
where the street grade would be lower
than the surrounding property and
construct a much wanted bridge
In consideration of these concessions
the city was to grant the railway a
franchise over the public streets at
nominal price. But the railway has
not signed the agreement and the coun-
ell proposes to force some action py
ordering the cars stopped.
