JANUARY 1, 1909,
IS GOULD DATE
TRAINS THEN FROM BALTI
MORE TO SAN FRANCISCO
Item Pacific to Cut Off Six Months
rem Its Construction Time—Ar
bitration Boards Reduce
Friction ,
Advices received In Los Angeles are
that the Western Pacific will reduce
the time of Its building from Salt Lakfl
City to San Francisco by blx months
and. If possible, a year.
Its engineering department hopes to
have the erttlro line completed and
ready for use on January 1, 1909, with
through passenger and freight trains
from San Francisco to Baltimore.
This move Is made as a result of the
desire of the Goulds to get Into San
Francisco In time to grow up with the
new business lines of the ctly. Forty
seven miles of trnrk have been laid
out of Salt Lake City. The line is now
within sixty-five miles of the Nevada
line. The gradlns in Nevada and Cali
fornia is progressing. The long stretch
across the desert is as yet untouched.
The Southern Pacific and "Western
Pacific officials, through their respec
tive New York instructions from Har
rlmnn and Gould, are not to fight each
other on matters pertaining to Western
Pacific rights of way where they en
croach on Southern Pacific lands be
tween Oakland and Stockton and be
tween Stockton and Orovllle.
All disputes in the territory men
tioned are to be submitted to arbitra
tion, and the arbitration boards' as
sessed valuation of land belonging to
the Southern Pacific and desired by the
Western Pacific Is to be paid by the
latter without question.
This agreement will expedite con
struction work by the Gould line and
removes a certain amount of official
friction between the two railroad cor
porations, it; •'
PUTS PUBLIC INTERESTS FIRST
Gould Would Silence Clamor of the
Wabash Bondholders
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept 12.— George GoulA,
who has returned from abroad. In
dulged, says the Herald, In some perti
nent comments regarding the duty
which a great railway system of the
west has, contrasted with the consider
ation it should give to holflers of its
securities.
These views were given when Mr.
Gould was speaking of a plan recently
announced for exchanging the $26,000,
000 Wabash debenture bonds, on which
the system has been unable to pay
Interest, for new securities. The bond
holders have been making demands for
payments of Interest for a year, owing
to increased earnings, which for the
last few years have been devoted to im
proving the system.
■. "We cannot keep the Wabash rail
road in proper condition," said Mr.
Gould, "and at the same time make any
payment on the debentures.
"The railroad owes a duty to the pub
lic fully as much as It does to its se
curity holders, and the latter certainly
recognize this fact as an established
principle in making their Investments.
"We cannot let the property run down
to the detriment of the shipping in
terests.
- "We cannot ignore the demands of
the public for proper transportation
facilities, and it is our duty to provide
them.
. "There is urgent necessity for double
tracking from St. Louis to Chicago
and other points. We cannot sell bonds
to do this work, owing to the debenture
mortgage, and the only way for us to
accomplish it in existing circumstances
is to carry on the building out of sur
plUß earnings.
. "So the Wabash railroad cannot, be
properly maintained unless we adopt
a plan for the exchange of the deben
ture bonds, as now proposed, under
which the bondholders are to get new
4 per cent bonds and preferred and
common stock. I hope the plan will go
throifgh, as it is to the best interests of
the bondholders.
"I am the largest individual holder
of debenture bonds, and Intend to de
posit mine in exchange for new securi
ties. Whether the proposition will be
carried out now rests solely with the
bondholders."
Mr. Gould expressed pleasure at an
fIADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.
. That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild In our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root " for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
same root— called Blue Cohosh— in his
"Favorite Prescription," skillfully com-
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine In
caring all - the various weaknesses and
painful derangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur-
geon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender-
ness over the lower nelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, falntness,
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course of "Favorite Pre-
scription • will work marvelous benefit
In all such cases, and generally effect a
permanent cure if persisted In for a rea-
sonable length of time. The "Favorite
Prescription * is a harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without a drop of alcohol In Its
make up. whereas all other medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
•are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con-
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit-
forming drugs. All Its ingredients are
printed on each bottle wrapper. It It a
powerful invigorating tonic, imparting
health and strength In particular to tho
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are "worn-out,"
or debilitated, especially for women who
work in store, omce, or school-room, who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine,
or bear heavy household burdens, and tor
nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will prove a priceless benefit
because of its . health • restoring and
strength-giving power.
For constipation, tha true, scientific
cure Is Dr. Pierre's Pleasant PelleU.
Mild, harmlotts, yet sure.

RAILROADS AID THE COMMISSION
Cockrell Says Uniformity of Operating
Is Being Introduced
By Associated Press.
' WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.— Discussing
the probable method of proceeding, un
der the new railroad rate law, Inter
state Commerce Commlmssloner Cock
rell said the first effort of the commis
sion would be a uniform way of doing
business.
"We are," he said, "giving most of
our attention to securing the adoption
of a general system,. believing that by
pursuing this course we will lighten
our own labors and render It possible
for the railroads to aid us In carrying
the law into effect."
He then outlined the plans of the
commmission to secure, first, a uniform
system of accounting by the railroads;
second, a uniform system of classifica
tion of freight throughout the United
States; third, a uniform schedule of
rates, fares nnd charges, and, fourth,
the performance by the roads of the
entire transportation from the place
where freight is received to the point of
destination.
Mr. Cockrell also said'that the rail
roads are manifesting a disposition to
aid the commision in the enforcement
of the law.

EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 12.—Corre
spondence reports that recent rains be
tween Tuxpan and Colima, Mexico,
caused vast earth slides on the Man
zanillo extension of the Mexican Cen
tral railroad.
It is estimated that 20,000 cubic meters

MAKES HIS SECOND
REQUEST FOR LICENSE
EUGENE ARNETT NOT DISCOUR-
AGED BY TURN DOWN
Application Is Filed for Permit to
Sell Liquor on Central Avenue.
Another Storm of Protest Is Ex
pected
Eugene Arnett, who was denied a
license for a wholesale liquor store at
1914 San Pedro street by the police
commission Tuesday night, yesterday
presented another application for the
same kind of a license at 2507 Central
avenue. Accompanying this applica
tion Arnett filed a petition signed by
more than two-thirds of the frontage
on both sides of the street in the block.
The block on Central avenue between
Twenty-fifth and Adams streets is a
very short one, according to Mr. Ar
nett, having but a total of 634 feet on
both sides of the street. Of this front
age his petition represents 518 feet. He
has 316 feet on one side of the street
and 202 feet on the other.
As the proposed location is within
a few blocks of the one he asked for
Tuesday night and which met such a
storm of protest from residents of the
neighborhood, it is expected that the
police commission rooms will bo
crowded with protestants next Tues
day night when the application will
come up before the commission for ac
tion.
The city attorney declared yesterday
that he would give the police com
mission an Interpretation of the new
frontage ordinance this week. His rul
ing will be that an applicant must se
cure the consent of two-thirds of tha
frontage on each side of the street and
not a total of the entire frontage of
the block. He will also rule that it is
not mandatory on the commission to
grant a license when the applicant has
complied with the terms of the ordin
ance, but that discretion may be used
and the commission act as it sees fit.
An applicant, however, must have the
two-thirds fronta.ee before his appli
cation can bo considered.
This is the first case that has come
before the commission since the or
dinance requiring the frontage was
passed by the council in special session
two weeks ago. Others who desiro
wholesale licenses are waiting for this
case to be decided before making ap
plications.
COUNTS COIN UNDER LAMP
White Men Snatch Mexican's Cash
and Fierce Pursuit Follows,
With One Arrest
While Maleclo Contranez, a Mexican,
was counting money In the light of an
arc lamp at the corner of Marcheesault
and San Fernando Btreets Tuesday
night he was assailed by two white
men, who ran away with the coins.
Contraress followed, but finally lost
fight of them when they scaled a high
fence. ,
Policemen Oker and Lenon saw the
fugitives, however, and took up the
chase, finally catching one of the al
leged robbers, who gave his name as
C. B. Comford. The captive was taken
to the central station, where he be
came very defiant, and challenged the
officers to prove their case against him.
Comford will be held until his record
has been looked up. but It Is thought
by District Attorney North that the po.
Ucemen and Contrarez will have a
hard time to prove anything against
this man.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906.
HOUGHTON TALKS
FOR TWO HOURS
FAILS TO DELAY PROGRESS ON
OUTFALL SEWER
With the Return of Councilman Blan.
chard Mext Monday There Will -
Be No Trouble In Squelch-
Ing "Doc"
"Councilman Houghton moves that
the chair appoint a committee of com
petent bricklayers to examine the out
fall sewer," read Minute Clerk Carroll
at the meeting of the city council yes
terday afternoon. /
"What's that?" thundered Council
man Smith, sitting up very straight.
The clerk again read Doc Houghton's
motion.
"I move we udjourn," said Mr. Smith,
In a determined tone.
Tho motion wnn quickly seconded,
and bpforo Houghtnn had a chance to
so much hs My a word the motion had
passed nnd tho councllmen were out of
the chamber.
Houghton hnd kept his promise to
obstruct the passage of the resolution
authorizing the bonrd of public works
to advertise for bids for completing the
outfall sewer.
City Attorney Advises
At the meeting of the council. Tues
day afternoon the city attorney nsked
the council to meet yesterday to pass
a resolution he had prepared giving
the board the authority to complete the
outfall,
Houghton talked for two polld hours
In an effort to induce the council to per
mit some union bricklayers, who
claimed that the brick work in the
sower was not done according to speci
fications, to examine the work and re
port to the council.
The city nttorney advised against
taking any such steps, as the sewer
must' be completed on the lines of the
old contract, and this contract did not
provide for such a contingency. >rr
When Houghton's request was not
granted he threatened to remain away
from the meeting and thus leave the
council without a quorum to transact
business. When he introduced his mo
tion providing for the- appointment of
the committee of bricklayers the coun
cil feared another two hours' talk
would occur and adjourned sine die.
Quorum Next Monday
Next* Monday,! when the council
meets, Councilman E. L. Blanchard
will have returned from his leave of
absence and a quorum will then be
present without Houghton.
Houghton's demand for the commit
tee of bricklayers is an old story.
Nearly a year ago the same committee
that he has been trying to have the
council accept made an investigation
and reported that the specifications had
not been lived up to, and pointed out
alleged defects in the work.
The council filed this report and In
structed the mayor to appoint a com
mittee of competent engineers to make
an investigation. The mayor accord
ingly named A. H. Koebig, Octavlus
Morgan and H. E. Brett. This commit
tee made an exhaustive report on the
outfall sewer conditions and pointed
out what defects existed. ■ •';
WANT A TRACK ON BANNING
Coffin Company Petitions Council for
Spur Privileges to Connect
With Santa Fe
The Los Angeles Coffin company yes
terday petitioned the city council for a
spur track on Banning street from
Vignes to a point connecting with the
main track of the Santa Fe.
The technical description of the pro
posed spur is *s follows: Beginning at
a pomt 13 feet north of the southwest
corner of the Intersection of Banning
and Vignes, thence westerly along a 15
degree curve to the right for 109 feet,
thence over a 14-degree curve to the
left for 93.8 feet, thence on a tangent
74.2 feet 24 feet distant and parallel
to the center of the main track of the
Santa Fe railroad.
All of which means in English that
the Los Angeles Coffin company and
Santa Fe want to run a spur a block
long on Banning street, curving from
the north to the south side of the
street and practically taking up the
entire street.
This petition had been read to the
council and had been laid aside to be
acted In in a few minutes when somo
of the old records could be produced,
but before the council got to it again
the adjournment was taken and the
question of granting the spur left up
in the air.
It will probably come before the
council again at the session to be held
Monday afternoon.

WILL ELIMINATE
THE BACK STAMP
POSTOFFICE HOPES TO SAVE
MUCH TIME
Experiment of Omitting Received
Postmark on Letters Proves
a Success In Chicago.
Flint Favors It . .
An important and Interesting experi
ment is being tried by the postofflue
department with a. view of saving time
and expense in omitting what is tech
nically termed the back stamp on let
ters, which gives the time and date of
the arrival ,of the letters at the local
office. '
When asked whether the experiment
was to be carried out In Los Angeles,
Postmaster. Flint expressed himself as
strongly favoring the innovation."
"I am strongly in favor of the move
and hope it will be carried out in Los
Angeles," said Postmaster Flint. "When
20,000 letters come in on the overland
trains, of course It takes time to stamp
all the letters and the last ones: are
bound to be late. It is a good idea
and something that would be of bene
fit in quickening the time of service.
"Of course sometimes it Is very im
portant, and when it is wanted, it IB
wanted bad. But those cases only come
once In 9999 times, so I think it would
be worth our while to do It."
Tried in Chicago
For the past six months the experi
ment has been tried in Chicago, with
highly satisfactory results. About
thirty clerks have been dispensed with
in the Windy City as a result of the
new move and the time of delivery from
arrival at the postoffice hastened from
two hours to twenty minutes.
Boston, New Jersey, Washington iand
other large cities are slated for Uhe
experiment and it is hoped at local
headquarters that the Los Angeles
postofflce may have a chance to try
the experiment, which has worked so
well in Chicago. Of especial help would
this be during the tourist season, when
the eastern mails are heavy with let
ters and post cards. If the proposed
experiments are as satisfactory as they
have proved In Chicago it is probable
that the back stamp will be - done
away with entirely. .<■■'.>•-.* :"' • . •,'
First Assistant Postmaster General
Frank H. Hitchcock originated the
plan of saving, time and expense and
it was under his supervision that the
experiment was inaugurated. So far
not a complaint has been received from
Chicago regarding the elimination of
the stamp. . ■ . ■
While the postofflce officials voice the
sentiment that the back stamp is of
great importance, ■ they say that the
saving of time and expense more than
counterbalances the use of the stamp
and this Idea is carried out at the local
postofflce. ■ ,-:'•..-.'.■.•■• .-;">.■•;•; 'r
