ARMY AND NAVY REPUBLICAN
LEAGUE MEETS
ADDS NAME OF THE STATE
Long Delayed Incorporation Is Fol.
lowed by an Election of
Officers Held In San
Pedro
After more than ten years of hard
work on the part of its charter mem
bers, the Los Angeles Army and Navy
Republican league has at last incor
porated as the Army and Navy Repub
lican League of the State of California,
- with a number of Los Angeles men as
officers. The league, however, will have
to | meet some competition because cf
the | claims of the Army and Navy
league of San Francisco which, al
though not Incorporated as a. state in
stitution, may lay claim to the title on
the plea of prior organization. -
. -. The flrst Important meeting of the
league as a state organization was held
Sunday at San Pedro.' .' Brig. Gen. Wil
[ Ham j H. Savage/ . who has been com
mander of the local league for several
years,' was unanimously selected as
commander in chief. For, the senior
land' junior vice commanders in chief
Col. R. F. Clarke and Col. S. D. Thurs
ton were chosen. • Col. C. E. Thurston
was appointed adjutant general, Col. J.
W. 'Van Horn Quartermaster general
and Col. Tom J. Shea Inspector general.
The appointments went into effect im
mediately and arrangements have al
ready been made for communication
j with the big leagues of other states and
with ..the headquarters at Washington.
I Following the announcement received
. yesterday from the secretary of state's
office, j confirming the I Incorporation of
the Los Angeles league as the represen
tative , state organization, communica
tions from a number of small cities on
the coast, ' asking for /the starting of
subordinate leagiio's' in their preclncta,
;were received,' and a special committee
| will . be appointed at the next meeting
""of the league for the consideration of
- these minor incorporations.
Officers of the league said yesterday
I that although the California league was
. several years behind other state leagues
. the officers intended to make up for lost
time by putting the Los Angeles organ
ization on the same footing as the most
successful leagues.
TEN DAYS' SENTENCE
TOO LONG FOR POWELL
Man Who Escaped From Jail Explains
Why He Took Leave of the
Janitor '
' "Ol'U tell yezphy Ol made mo git
away. j It waz that new jedge — Jedge
Rose — thet soaked me ten deys, anil
though Ol've been In 'this Jail no less
than a hundred times and never did a
jedge do me more than three days.
Fhen Ol had served me three deys Ol
Just stepped oft."
Edward Powell stood before the desk
sergeant Mopping his face yesterday
noon as he made the foregoing ex
planation of the reason why he had
run away from the Janitor. Last April
Powell. was doing a ten days' sentence,
when he suddenly disappeared from the
gang of "trusties." Times unnumbered
Powell has been arraigned in the po
lice courts on the charge of drunken
ness and has always received a three
■' days'* sentence. •
In April Judge Rose, hearing of, the
continual arraignments on the same
■ charge, ' decided to give the man a
'<"• longer sentence". Powell stayed with
V the 'janitor three days and then dis
'■'• appeared.*' '-He •■went to Burbank and
' v has" been working there since.
■•• Powell' "decided yesterday ' that he
■ ' would go to Santa Monica and set out
' early in the morning on foot. About
noon he was passing along Lake Shore,
near Temple street, where' the chain
gang Is working, when Superintendent
Felts recognized him. Powell saw the
chain gang about the same time and
started to run. Officer Arguello, tho
mounted guard of the chain gang, set
'out In ' hot pursuit and captured his
man. .■' • ■ .
FIFTY-EIGHT DRUNKS ,
IN SUNDAY'S DRAGNET
Hot Weather Excuses Do Not Feaze
Police Judge and Defendants Are
Given Usual Penalties
Fifty-eight drunkß was the record for
the Sunday catch of the police, the
largest number of Intoxicated persons
registered In one day at the police sta
tion for many months.
"It was the hot weather, your honor,"
was the plea of the first one to make
his appearance before Police Judge
Rose yesterday morning. The hot
weather failed to have any effect on
Judge Rose, so with a "Ten dollars or
ten days," he passed on to the next
culprit. The "hot weather" excuse
was not pleaded again. Mrs. Mary
Lehene was convicted on the charge
of having conducted a "blind pig" at
Ban Fernando and Wllhlte streets and
was fined $150.
Circulated Some
"Have you a library In your town?"
asked the New York man.
"Oh, yes," replied the westerner.
"A circulating one?"
"Well, It wasn't Intended for that sort
of a library, but we had two or three
cyclones out our way that circulated ft
considerably."— Tonk«rt Statesman, .

Evidence Shows That Telephone Pro.
posals and Persecution by Means
of Love Letters . Were .
. Imaginary
i Following one of the most thorough
examinations on a charge of insanity
ever held in a superior court room, May
Godfrey, waitress, . • was • yesterday de
clared mentally deranged by a commis
sion in department 4 of the superior
court, but was discharged upon her
mother's promise that she would take
the girl back to their former home in
Kansas and there provide for her.
The trial was the result of a number
of allegations made by the young
woman against Dwlght and George
Hart, proprietors in part of the Natlck
and Rosslyn hotels. The girl made the
accusation that Dwight Hart had per
secuted her with proposals of marriage.
The girl, who is 16 years of age, came
to Los Angeles less than a year ago
with her motnsr. The mother obtained
a position as waitress at the Redondo
hotel, while May went to work for
Dwlght Hart as waitress in the Natlck
restaurant. Some 1 time ago the girl was
discharged, and then she declared that
she began to receive letters and tele
phone messages that worried her.
Too Much Telephoning
Several times a day telephone mes
sages would come to the place where
the girl was working and the messages,
which were all proposals of marriage,
were alleged to be from Dwlght Hart.
Finally the mother took the matter
before Capt. Auble, and Hart was called
in. Hart told Capt. Auble that the
young woman was not in her right
mind and that she had been writing to
him for some time. Finally he had an
officer swear to the insanity charge.
Friends of Hart and of the young
woman crowded the court room yester
day to hear the evidence In the case,
and Miss Godfrey stoutly maintained
her claim to sanity. She answered
Hart's qestlons and again testified that
she had not written the letters to her
self.
"You are crazy," said Hart. "You are
persecuting me," was the reply of the
young .woman. Several young women
employed at telephone exchanges an>l
at the clerks" desk In both hotels tes
tified that Miss Godfrey. was continu
ally asking to ; talk -.to .Hart. >. On one
occasion she Is alleged to have threat
ened suicide because Hart was . perse
cuting her. '•■( ■■ ■>,'■' : ■■ ..'■-. ':. ■i- ' -
After the taking of all the evidence
Judge Bordwell ■ told the mother that
the daughter was mentally unbalanced,
but upon the promise of the woman that
she would take the girl to a quiet place
for a rest cure the girl was discharged.
Mrs. Godfrey and her daughter left last
night for Kansas.

TO RUSH WORK
ON NEW RAILWAY
LABORERS ARE WANTED FOR
"BORAX" SMITH'S LINE
ROAD RUNS TO BULLFROG
Contractor Finds Difficulty In Obtain.
Ing Men, but the Construction
Must Be Finished In
a Year
Official confirmation of the plan of
"Borax" Smith to build a railroad from
Ludlow to* Bullfrog, a distance of 167
miles, was given yesterday by Thomas
Ryan, the contractor, who has charge
of the work, and laborers are now be
ing sought in Los Angeles.
The line branches from Ludlow on
the Santa Fe in a northeasterly direc
tion across the desert and little engi
neering difficulty will be met in its
construction. It Is expected that the
road, will be open for business by
April Ist of next year.
It is probable that construction work
will meet with serious delay on ac
count of the scarcity of labor. A por
tion of the material Is already on the
ground, but the workmen have not
been forthcoming, In spite of the offers
of good wages and board, which the
contractors have made.
Managements of the several labor
bureaus of the city say that there is
an unusual scarcity in the labor mar
ket, and they are not able to supply
more than ten per cent of the help
they are asked to provide.
Railroad officials say that the build
ing of the Smith road has a deep sig
nificance for Los Angeles merchants,
as it will give to them an entry Into
the Qoldfleld district on equal terms
with the San Francisco merchants who,
at the present time, have a practical
monopoly of the business.
The large development work of the
last year has demonstrated that the
reports of great richness of the coun
try have not been fxnggerated and
mining; men are expecting to see
another rush Into the district with the
opening. of winter.
Saa Francisco merchants have beeu
able to find a large . market for their
goods, which are sent In over the Col
orado and Carson railroad. An ex
tension of this road from Tonopah to
Goldfield is now under way.
