Los Angeies's Attitude

Wilbur Hall. in the Los Angeles Tri-
bune, gives the following report Of the
attitude of that city:
southern California will have done
its share toward providing a travelabie
road through its territory on the route
of the national ocean-t to- ocean highway
within 60 days. if the plans now ma
turing are carried out. The officials
and engineers of the Los Angeles Col
to-Iuma auxiliary returned to the city
yesterday and Thursday will make
their report to the auxiliary at a special
meeting in the Chamber of Commerce
directors office. If this report is
adopted it will mean the immediate be-
ginning of work on the Mammoth wash

and the only one. according to the en-
gineers, that is not now practicable for
general travel

of the trip over the line made Friday.

THAT no money will go toward i'm

These facts were cleaned Yesterday
from interviews with the officials AMI
engineers who went over the road.

Brawley Saturday night and Yuma Sun

WINTER ABROAD
JOHN JACOB AsToR AND YOUNG
BRIDE HAS DECIDED TO ADAM
DON BRILLIANT SOCIAL SEASON
FOR THIS PURPOSE.
Special to The Journal.

New York, N. Y, February a
Some surprise was evcited this week
because John Jacob Astor and his
young bride. have abandoned their
plan for a brilliant social season and
have gone abroad to winter in a house
boat cruise up the Nile. Following
his marriage last spring to Miss Mad
eleine Force, his junior by almost
thirty years. 1t was stated that the
couple would open up their winter
home on Fifth avenue this season
and embark upon campaign of So
old New York. The Colonel is known
to have keeniy resented the hostile
attitude assumed toward his second
marriage by the ministry of the coun-
try which excoriated him from a hun
bred pulpits though many Of his critics
have themselves made it a practice to
marry divorced parties when asked so
to do. AS an offset to this public con-
domination, the Colonel thought an ac-
tive social career for her, would be
the proper thing and he so planned
But he and Mrs. Aston, who is reported
to have no particular social ambitions
decided that it would be folly for them
to defer to the demand of their friends
for a season of sparkling dinner par
ties, and dances and suddenly packed
I'D the other day for an old world
Journey that will keep them abroad
until next fall.
They have rented the largest Egyp-
tian house boat available and have ar
ranged for a large retinue of native
and domestic servants, porters and at
tendants to meet them at Cairo. On
leaving for the other side the Solonel
was asked If he intended that his bride
should aspire for the social leadership
of New York and he quickly replied
that neither he nor Mrs. Astor cared
one whit about society They were just
living for themselves and planned to
follow the path of least resistance for
their personal comfort and happiness,
regardless of the whims of society.

New York, Feb. s.--Hopeful that her
last appeal to the Vatican to recogniza
her wedding and legitimitize her child
will be successful the Princess Ros-
pigiliosi. formerly Marie Jennings Reid
Parkhurst, reached here the other dav
on her way TO California where her
mother died recently. It was the first
visit made to America Ia eleven years
by the Princess. whose marriage to
the rich Tuscan Prince, following her
divorce Of Colonel Parkhurst OF Maine
and Washington, caused something OF
an International sensation. Emphatic
denfals to the oft-repeuted report that
she and the Prince had separated were
given BY the Princess upon her arrival
IT IS not So such rumors are ter
rible, she said, emphattcally. THE
Prince and l are waiting with great
expectancy the decision OF the Vatican,
which sts to straighten out our martial
d1fnculty. feel assured, as do all ny
friends, both In America and Italy,
that the marriage win be recognized
Prince Rospigiiiosi comes from one
OF the Oldest and most celebrated FAM
lies in Italy. He is &C present the
recognized head Of the family. long
closely connected with the church.
Pr1ncess Rospigilosi divorced her hus-
band. Colonel Frederick II. Parkhurst.
IN Bangor. Me-, early in 1900. Shortly
after she visited Rome she met Prince
Joseph, who fell desperately ii. love
with her. They were married at his es-
tate, one of the largest in Italy, located
st Lamporecchio in Tuscany. on Sem

hfty-two years old.
Following the ceremony an effort
was made to have the Vatican sane

Then the Prince. using his influence
attempted to have the marriage Of tie
Princess to Colonel Parkhurt annulIed
on the ground that when she married
the army man he was Protestant and
that later 1t was discovered he was an
atheist. The matter was laid before
the congregation Of the Propaganda,
and although the late Pope Leo XIII
was in favor OF recognizing the pIea
Put forth by the Prince, the majority
was against It. As a result OF the de-
cistoh the Pope did not grant the
Plea. The case was reopened on sim
liar ground when Pope Plus assumed
the head OF the church, and was
placed before the tribunal of the Rota.
Again the Prince and Princess were
ruled against.
At the request OF the Princess Mgr.
John Prior was assigned by the
tribunal to come to this country and
take certain testimony relative to her
first marriage. This report is now in
the hands OF the members OF the Rota,
and Il is their decision, which is to
be final one. That the Prince and
Pflncess are expecting almost daily.

the Montpelier 4 Wells River line has
experienced the greatest loss from the

pressed belief this morning that many
hours would elapse before trains could
be sent over the track. The Green Noun.
tain express failed 10 put in an APP

by its absence and probably viii not

From Granite street to Wiley street

FIVE and ninety degrees and the con-
tents of the cars cannot be unloaded
without the aid of derrieks. 1t is here
that the section men viii experience
their greatest difficulty in repairing the
track and roadbed In several instances
the level of the roadbed has been dis
placed from four to six feet. In other
sections the inundation is so marked
that the track resembles trestle with
an under space of sometimes several
feet.
The ravages of the food in the north
section of the town has caused con-
gestion in the freight yards and many
of the road employees were obliged to lie
idle to-day for that reason. Arrange
ments were under way this forenoon to
transport some of the freight over the
Central Vermont lines. No definite idea
of how long the tie-up would continue
could be obtained TO-DAY. The Mont
pelier & Wells River officials are max
ing all calculations to augment the work
OF restoring the road by employing about
all the section help available. Even if
trains can be run over the road by
" ednesday, il is hardly likely that the
regular schedules viii be resumed for
several days. The immediate undertake
ing which faced the road to-day was
the restoration of the road bed and to
that end trainloads of gravel and grout

this morning, Wallace Batchelder, chair

An appeal was issued evidently by

columns Of the Rutland Evening News
of last Saturday. The appeal was to
chuck the whole Roosevelt Batchelder
movement.

in that appeal is concerned, it Is only
necessary to call attention to the fact
that this appeal was issued Saturday,
