BIG CONVENTION
HEADED OUR WAY
American Librarians to Meet in
Southern California Next
Summer
WRIGHT CAPTURES BIG PLUM
Gatherings Will Probably Take
Place in Pasadena or
Long Beach
A communication from Pufd B.
Wright, librarian of the Los Angeles
library, to Henry M. Newmark, presi
dent of the Los Angeles library board,
announced yesterday that the execu
tive committee of the American Li
brarians' association has chosen South-'
orn California ns the scene of the na
tional convention of the association
next summer. Los Angeles has been
trying for many years to secure the
convention, and Mr. Wright is to be
given much credit for his success in
bringing it to this part of the state
for next year.
A rule of the association provides
that the conventions of the organiza
tion shall be held in no large city, so
some smaller city near Los Angeles
will be decided upon as the meeting
place next summer. Pasadena and
Long Beach are among the probable
points.
The usual attendance of the li
brarians' conventions is from 3000 to
4000 persons and they are recognized as
among the most cultured and refined
people in the country. Only 600 to
1000 heads of libraries attend, but a
large number of other persons inter
ested in library work and many lit
erarily Inclined people are always pres
ent.
WRIGHT IS SUCCESSFUL
Mr. Wright Vi-as instructed, when he
■was appointed as a delegate to the De
troit convention, to make every effort
to have Southern California chosen ns
the gathering place for the librarians
next year. He was chosen by the con
vention as a member of the national
executive committee, being known as
one of the foremost librarians in the
United States. The convention placed
the power of the choice of the conven
tion in the hands of the executive com
mittee.
Mr. Newmark spoke in very high
terms yesterday of the accomplish
ments of Mr. Wright. He said that the
board felt that Los Angeles needed for
its library the most competent and ef
ficient man to be had, and in looking
about they unanimously decided upon
Mr. Wright. The board received many
letters of congratulation upon its good
fortune after it had secured Mr.
Wright.
Mr. Wright will return to Los Ange
les about August 15. Before coming
back he will go to his former home
In Missouri to make arrangements for
the transfer of his effects to LO3 An
geles. He will then visit the libraries
of San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
While in the middle west he visited the
libraries of Detroit, Cleveland, Louis
ville and St. Louis.
BRAND TRUNK OPERATES
TRAINS WITHOUT TROUBLE

Protect the Railroad
SOUTH UKXD, Intl., July 27.—"With
its crews short handed, the (Grand
Trunk railroad liad dllllculty in mov
ing freight in and out of this city

operated met no interference from
strike sympathizers. Mayor Goetz and
General McKee_,of the Indiana na
tional guard, after a conference, an
nounced it was apparent no further
rioting was imminent and the presence
of state troops would not be neces
sary. They said that disorderly loiter
ers not strikers had caused the trouble
of the last few days.
Investigation of the charges of May
or Charles L. Goetz that the railroad
Is employing men to operate its trains
without regard to their competency is
beiiiLj made by Alexander Shane, field
examiner of the state railway commis
sion.

Public Utilities Board Reports
Company Is Meeting Rea
sonable Suggestions
SOME 5-CENT FARES ASSURED
Traffic SituationJ/Vill Be Made
with View to Relieving
Rush Congestion
In a report to the city council the f
board of public utilities has told the
result of a number of conferences it
has held with H. E. Huntlngton and
W. E. Dunn, Mr. Hunttngton's chief
counsel, on matters of concern both to
the city and the street car interests.
Concessions of 6-cent fares to Man
chester avenue and from Wilmington
to P:in Pedro have been promised by
the railway men a».d other matters
that have aroused contention between
the railways and the board have been
practically settled.
In this report President Lissner says
that Mr. Huntinpton showed a disposi
tion to comply with every reasonable
suggestion made by the board.
Some of the features that have been
arranged by these conferences are as
follows:
5-CENT FARCES PROMISED
The companies have agreed to arrant
a straight o-cent fare on all lines as
far south as Manchester avenue,
within the city limits of Los Anpreles,
n-t later than January 1, 1911. Man
chester avenue is the street running
east and west at the southern boun
dary line of the main city; the "shoe
string" begins at this street.
On behalf of the Pacific Klectric
company it was also agreed that not
later than January 1 a local fare of
5 cents between points to be agreed
upon In Wilmington and San Pedro
would be fixed. The board is urging
that the 5-cent fare be extended from
any point in Wilmington to any point
in San Pedro, and has hope that this
point will be conceded by the com
pany.
The companies have npreed that
hereafter they will apply fnr nil fran
chises in the name of the company
proposing to build the line.
TO REUEVE CONGESTION
The subject of overcrowded condi
tion of cars at rush hours was dis
cussed and it was agreed that a Joint
study of traffic conditions should be
made by the board and the companies,
so that it might be determined how
many extra cars would be required to
furnish reasonable and adequate serv
ice at all times, and that after such
determination the companies should be
given a reasonable time to procure as
many street cars as might be found
necessary; thnt when such cars were
put In operation the council should
consider passing an ordinance pro
viding that not more than a certain
percentage, say 25 or 30 per cent of the
seating capacity of the car, be per
mitted to stand, and when such limit
had been reached a sign be displayed
on the car and no more passengers be
taken on; anyone attempting to board
a car under such conditions be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor. Mr. Hunt
ington said that the Los Angeles Rail
way company hns already ordered a
large number of pay-as-you-onter cars
which nre now being built, and that it
was the intention of the company
eventually to equip all of its lines
with this style of car, which was giv
ing general satisfaction on the Cen
tral avenue line, where it is now in
use.
The necessity for cross town car
lines and the planning of a belt line
system was discussed and the com
panies were requested to consider prac
ticable routes for such lines and to
make application fo» a franchise. As
the result of this suggestion, the Los
Angeles Railway company will prob
ably apply for a franchise on Alvarado
street from Seventh to Hoover; thence
on Hoover to Twenty-fifth street, con
necting with its University car lines;
also from Thirty-second and Hoover on
Kingsley to Jefferson and on Jefferson
to "Wesley, connecting with its Main
street ear line. Also on Jefferson street
from Main street to Central avenue,
and probably also on Vernon avenue
from Central avenue to Santa Fe ave
nue. It would seem that such a fran
chise would give a practicable route
for a cross town and belt car line,
which it is generally conceded is very
badly needed in this city.
EXTENSIONS ASKED
The board expressed its opinion that
while it was not to be expected that the
companies would be willing to extend
their ear lines into uninhabited dis
tricts for the benefit of real estate pro
moters without a bonus or extra con
sideration, still when, a district had
been built up to such an extent that the
interests of the residents reasonably
required ear facilities the companies
should be willing to make extensions
in such districts without requiring com
pensation, which previously had been
raised in many cases largely from con
tributions by small property owners.
On behalf of the companies it was
agreed that these suqgestlons were
properly made and that so far as pos
sible in the future the companies would
endeavor to prevent resident* from be
ing solicited to contribute to such
funds.
Tho suggestion was made that there
should be some amicable adjustment
of the San Pedro street franchise mat
ter which would recognize the conten
tion of the city attorney that the whole
of the San Pedro street franchise had,
according to proper construction of
the decision of the supreme court of
California, been forfeited, but it was
stated on behalf of the I.os Angeles
Railway company that such a propo
sition could not be considered by the
company or accepted except through
the decision of a court of last resort,
The board suggests to the council that
it instruct the city attorney to take
steps to have the legal status of all
of the San Pedro line made absolutely
clear and unquestioned.
WOULD RETAIN THACIi
The matter of an application by the
Pacific Electric company lor a fran
chise on San Pedro street from Sev
enth street to Aliso street in order to
relieve congestion on Main street by
providing 1 another outlet for its Ran
Gabriel valley cars was discussed, and
the company was requested to con
sider and suggest a practicable fran
which would preserve to the city
of Los Angeles the right to Jointly uaa
such trackage upon equitable terms
and would give to the city the right
to tnko over such property as might
be placed in the street by the com
pany at any time upon payment of
just i-ninpensatlon to the company.
Mr. lluntington .stated that his com
jiiiny could not consider a franchise
that would give the city the right to
over the road at any time, but
■i^recd to give further consideration
to tlie suggestion for a joint use of

trackage and to communicate further
with the board or council upon that
proposition.
It was understood that the city at
torney would take up with the attor
neys for the companies as soon as
possible the question of freight-carry
ing on railway lines through the city
streets in order that if the council
should, upon consideration, decide to
permit it to continue, such service
should be placed upon a businesslike
basis instead of being conducted as at
present, without any recognized right.
The probabilities are that the railway
companies will apply for franchises
giving them the privilege of carrying
freight over certain lines within the
city of Los Angeles under such reg
ulations and limitations as to hours
of use, class of cars and compensation
to the city for the additional privilege
granted as might be determined upon.
PASSENGERS LAUGH WHILE
LEAVING BURNING SHIP
Captain Tells of Women Giggling
in Small Boats
NEW YORK, July 27.—Captain S. P.
Mason of the Southern Pacific steamer
Comus, which arrived here today from
New Orleans, was full of praise for
the way in which the passengers of
the burning Momus stood the terrors
of their transfer to the Comus.
"What I particularly noticed," said
Captain Mason, "was the way in which
they seemed to take everything. All
the women had on those wide hats
and they were laughing over the way
the hats crowded the small boats. We
could hear them chaffing and giggling
long after they left tho side of the
Momus.
"I did not see any panic. We got
all of the passengers of the Momus
on deck and we got them all over to
tho Comus with their hand baggage in
Just two hours and ten minutes. I
think it is a record."
SUBDUES FIRE IN STEAMER
NEW ORLEANS, July 27.—After
subduing a fire In her after hold off

only to run into a mud bank at the
head of the Mississippi late last night,
the Southern Pacific steamer Momus
arrived at New Orleans today. The
Momus exhibited no evidence of any
damage.
