STRIKE VOTED
BY TRAINMEN
ON S. p. ROAD

San Francisco. Aug. Eight
thousand five hundred trainmen of
the Southern Pacific have voted to
go on strike next Satur.ay night
unless grievance claims against the
railroad company are settled, 1t be-
came known here today.
The trainmen affected are the en-
gineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen employed on the Southern
Pacific lines from Ell Paso, Texas, to
Portland, Ore, and on the Central
Pacific line from San Francisco to
Ogden, Utah.
w. X. Scott, vice president and
general manager OF the road, in a
letter sent today to members of the
cooperative board of the general
committees of the four unions In
volved, proposed that the differences
be mediated by the government I'M
der the Newlands act, or be left to
a board of five members. two to be
selected by the company. two by the
labor organizations. and fifth to be
elected by these four. II they are
unable to agree the fifth yAlember
would be appointed by the federal
judge in this district
The letter made an appeal to the
mems patriotism and pointed out that
the road was engaged in important
government transportation service.
There are number of conten-
lions involving cases between the

sales manager for this department.
Mr.. Shanholtzer was engaged, I'M
til a few weeks ago, in the auto ac-
cessary business in San Bernardino.
He was one of the first as well as
one Of the most successful Savage
distributors. Previous to engaging
in business for himself, Mr.. Shan
holtzer was in charge OF the San
Bernardino station OF the Union Oil
company, and prior to that worked
as salesman for the Union Oil COM
pany in Los Angeles and San Diego.
"Shan." as his friends like to call
him. is probably one OF the best
known auto accessory men in south
ern California. His friends will be
glad to learn of his new position with
the Savage Tire corporation.
According to Mr.. P. w. Rairden.
the general sales manager Of the
Savage Tire corporation. the repair
material line as we'll as the Thurston
motor fuel gasifier was added with
the idea OF giving better service to
users OF Savage tires and tubes, as
well as to increase the Savage lines
for Savage distributors. For some
time there has been a steadily in
creasing call for repair materials
made by the Savage company. Mo-
florists who have learned to recognize
the high quality of Savage tires and
tubes naturally prefer to have
Savage materials used in any repair
work necessary.

FOR LOST LOVE
Wife of Hoboken Banker
Sues Mrs. Minnie BraX-
mar and Daughter

Mrs. Minnie A. Braxmar, president
Of the c. C. B-axmar Company, Of ~
Maiden Lane, and her daughter, Miss
Bessie Braxmar, were sued yesterday
in the Supreme Court for s15O.000 by
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Butts, wife Of George
W. Butts, vice-president Of the Hud-
son Trust Company Of Hoboken, whose
affections his wife alleges were alien
ated from her.
Mrs. Braxmar, a member of the Lo
hengrin and Mozart clubs, who lives at
256 West 1920 Street, succeeded to the
business establishment of her husband,
Charles G. Braxmar, and with her
daughter has been managing its al
fairs. Butts was long friend Of her
husband.
Mrs. Butts. who is said to be living
ar a hotel in this city, alleges that
after her marriage 10 the trust com
pany official in 1902 they lived happily
together until the summer Of 1913,
when the Braxmars, mother and daugh-
ter, conspired 20 have him transfer
his affections 10 Miss Braxmar. From
that time, says the complaining wife,
her husband has spent much Of his
money and property on Miss Braxmar.
Mrs. Butts further alleges that her
husband drove her from their home IN
January, 1915, and that since Novem-
Der last Butts has lived in Manhattan,
"harbored" in the home Of the defend
ants.
Butts. who is said 20 be worth $780,,
600, is Of about the age Of Mrs. BraX-
mar. Miss Braxmar IS twenty-three
years old. .,
These charges are absolutely false,
said Mrs. Minnie BraxmRn last night.
II have been the best friend Mrs. Butts
ever had. Mr.. Butts and his mother
have been boarding az my house for
some months because ne is not well
and has 70 have a special diet, which
he cannot get in hotels, but there IS
absolutely nothing more than the long
friendship between our families.
Mr.. Butts and his wife, who is If
teen years older than he, were sepa-
rated more than a year ago, and he
made a money settlement on her for
$4,000. / think This winter he re-
marked one day that when he came here
20 dinner had food prepared which ne
could eat on his diet and begged me to
take MIN and his mother TO board. |
thought it over for a long time and de-
cided 20 DO so because Of our long fam
ily friendship and his condition.
my daughter is young enough TO
be Mr. Butts's daughter. and she has
never in her life been out with Mr..
Butts alone She is all have in the
world and I am going 20 see this suit
fought through 20 the end 20 clear her
name and mine"
Miss Braxmar has been out Of town
Tor several days.
