DELINQUENT GIRLS
Mrs. Minnie U. Rutherford Deliv
ers Address Before the Los
Angeles W. C. T. U.
'CHILD SAVING' THE SUBJECT
Declares Coeducational Schools
Are Great Advantage to
the Working Women
_ ■ "Establish a trade school for your
; ; delinquent ' t girls.: Teach them ■; some
thing: they will like to do, something
which will give them means for self
support. .Equip girls so that they can
earn "a ' good; living. Give them effi
ciency, which means the capability of
.' earning : a better salary, and conse
quently more Independence of action."
With such methods does Mrs. Minnie
U. Rutherford ; advise • women to fight
for-their, daughters' safety. It Is not
enough, to reason with them, or to pray
for them unless they are actually fit
ted to protect themselves and provide
themselves with all necessary creature
comforts, ..
„ "CHILD SAVING"
' Mrs. Rutherford spoke before the
regular'meeting of the Los Angeles W.
C. T. U. yesterday afternoon, and took
' for « her ' subject the general • topic of
' "Child Saving." She advocates a for
mative i principle which shall educate
, along the best lines the mental, moral,
physical and social phases, giving each
I equal I importance in the correct train-
Ing of the child. She spoke of the two
great ; evils, 'greed and lust, which
threaten always to overcome and In-
I terfere with the proper progress of this
formative work. These are evils which
gradually will be overcome by the
very forces upon which they now
fatten. ■ " '" .■'• "■ . •-<;■%.
- "Co-educational schools were a won
'■ ■ derful advantage to the working wo
man," ,said 1 Mrs. Rutherford, "and in
• the; slow, "wasteful way In which wo
men have always been forced to work,
and in which she has yet accomplished
so . much > that Is good and of value to
' the world, = she has now accomplished
still i, greater . benefits for her sister
workers. - The manual training work
throughout the grades," the technical
high schools anil- the trade schools
■' which are so frequently Introduced in
school work now, will be even a great
'S er weapon with which to fight delin

LOS ANGELES HERALD
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1910.
NEW PHONE RATES ARE
ATTACKED IN COURT
Pacific Company Draws Sad Pic
ture of Earnings in Seek
ing Injunction
Judge Wellborn of the United States
district court heard opening evidence
yesterday In the Hearing of an applica
tion for a temporary injunction to re
strain the city from enforcing the new
phone rates, made by the Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company.
E. R. Young, assistant city attorney,
opposed the granting of the injunc
tion, while the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company was represented by
the law firm of O'Melveny, Stevens &
Milllgan. Figures were submitted con
cerning the earning capacity of both
telephone companies, the value of cor
poration franchises, the cost of exten
sions for telephones, the rates of wall
and desk phones, and the depreciation
In telephone plants.
It was brought out that the Pacific
company earned an average per phone
of $24.50 a year on the 37,607 phones in
use and that It costs the company
$20.41 per annum to keep each phone in
operation.
Attorney Young showed that the
Home company keeps each phone in
operation at a cost of $12.91 a year,
while the earning average of each
phone has been $15.18 a year. Young
contended that if one company was
able to operate on that basis the other
company should have no trouble in do
ing the same.
Attorneys Stevens and Young then
entered into a discussion relative to the
books of the corporation being exam
ined. The city's attorney admitted that
the examiners for the public utilities
commission had but little time to make
their examination before the council
fixed rates for the coming year.
Most of the afternoon was taken up
by arguments over affidavits introduced
by Theodore B. Comstock, W. H. Park
and W. P. SloariT examiners for the
public utilities commission. The hear
ing will be resumed next Thursday
afternoon, i

FREIGHT TO COME
BY FAST EXPRESS
First Train Due Today on New
Schedule of the Salt
Lake Railroad
BIG INCREASE IN TRAVEL
Reports from Departments Show
Remarkable Advance in Traf
fic from Atlantic Coast
The first American Express train,
carrying the first car of express freight
to be shipped directly across the con
tinent from New York to Los Angeles
will arrive in this city this afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock. Incidentally the first
westbound train of the new service in
augurated by the Salt Lake Sunday,
August 28, will arrive at that time and,
according to General Passenger Agent
T. C. Peck, it will be loaded to ca
pacity.
Although the Salt Lake road has Just
added this new first class through train
to its service between Los Angeles and
Salt Lake City, the road is having a
hard time to handle all the business
offered. That the business of a rail
road, which until less than two months
ago was entirely crippled, due to wash
outs which occurred lasi winter, should
show such wonderful growth in a short
time is considered remarkable by all
railroad men and does not bear out the
forecasts of several rival roads' of
ficials that railroad revenues were fall
ing off.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC rROBLKMS
According to Mr. Peck, the heaviest
travel is eastbound, however. In speak
ing of this matter Mr. Peck, who is an
optimist and a great booster for South
ern California, said yesterday:
"I cannot convince the eastern peo
ple that this country has the nearest
to ideal summer weather of any place
In the world. They think because they
suffer terrlby when the thermometer
stands at eighty-five and ninety in the
east that out here, where at rare In
tervals the mercury reaches ninety
five and 100 it is an inferno. If I had
a few of them out here on a day like
this, the natives would have to move
out and give the tourists a chance—
there would be so many of them.
"The first class travel is east, how
ever. We are running two first class
eight-car trains out of here dail/ and
have only been reorganized to handle
through service less than two months,
yet we are crowded to the limit. Just
today several prospective passengers
called up this office and, when they
found they could not get on one of our
eastbound first class trains until Sep
tember 8, thought we were jollying
them. People here are so used to
thinking of tourist travel as an oc
currence of the winter months only
that they do not realize that Los An
geles and Southern California are rap
idly growing away from this winter
travel business and that people are
coming and going in great numbers all
the time."
The passenger service of the Salt
Lake Is not the only traffic which is
showing a remarkable Increase. Ac
cording to the freight authorities, the
freight revenues of the company are
at least 5 per cent greater than at this
time last yea.'.
JUDGE FINDS JOB FOR
MAN WHO STOLE MILK
J. B. Blackmore Dismissed from
the Police Court
With a place to work, eat and sleep
■waiting for him when he gets out, J. B.
Blackmore, who was arrested Wednes
day for stealing a 5-cent bottle of milk
when he was on the verge of starva
tion, was dismissed from a charge of
petty larceny by Police Judge Williams
yesterday.
It was throuffh the efforts of Judge
Williams, who believes in mingling
mercy with Justice when the case occa
sions it, that Blackmore secured em
ployment and a place to eat and sleep.
Blackmore was before Judse Wil
liams Wednesday for the theft of a
bottle of milk from the porch of a resi
dence in Boyle Heights. The story he
told of how he had wandered about the
city for almost a week in search of
work, meeting with failure, and how he
hadn't had anything to eat for forty
eight hours before his arrest, caused
the magistrate to continue the case un
till yesterday morning. Although it
seemed a rather merciless disposition of
the case to make the prisoner pass a
day and a night in jail before sen
tencing him, it was done with the in
tention of finding him work in the
meanwhile.
Judge Williams succeeded in securing
him employment in a downtown hotel
through the proprietor, N. B. Blunt.
VENIRE OF 60 EXHAUSTED

until this afternoon at 2 o'clock by
Police Judge Rose. A venire of sixty

terday evening. A new venire of forty
was issued and made returnable today
at 2 o'clock.
The case of H. B. Connors, charged
with picketing at Sixth and Spring
streets, was continued by Judge Rose
until October 17, to be reset.

SAN JOAQUIN RATE
HEARING IS ENDED
R. R. Commission Is Expected to
Announce Decision in
Short Time
FINAL ARGUMENTS HEARD
Ancient History Cited as the Only
Reason for Favoritism
Shown San Francisco
The San Joaquln valley rate ease
hearing ended yesterday afternoon. It
Is believed that the state railroad com
mission will announce its decision in a
short time. The commission is about
to start on its somi-annual tour of the
state to hold sittings and it is likely
that the Los Angeles-San Joaquin val
ley rate case will he settled before It
completes the tour.
At the opening of yesterday's session
of the board, Attorney C. W. Durbrow,
representing the Southern Pacific,
argued that existing rates to the San
Joaquin valley bcjth from Los Angeles
and from San Francisco, are right. He
stated that the San Francisco rates
were forced down several years ago by
the river transportation companies
whose boats ply between San Fran
cisco and Stockton.
On being questioned, Durbrow ad
mitted that conditions now are differ
ent from what they were years ago and
that If the history of the rates were
not considered some kind of adjust
ment would be Justified. He admitted
that the state commission could not do
otherwise than to stop the discrimina
tion against Los Angeles, but whether
it was to be done by raising tha San
Francisco rates or lowering the Los
Angeles rates, he argued, was for the
commission to state.
ARGUES FOB SAN FRANCISCO
Seth Mann, attorney for San Fran
cisco, argued against lowering Los
Angeles rates. He again told of the
Increased cost of shipping over the
Tehachapl. However, he did not say
anything about the cost of wharves,
ferries, terminals and transfers on San
Francisco bay which, Los Angeles
claims, fully offsets the cost of the
Tehachapl grade.
C. L. Neumiller, representing Stock
ton, set forth that as Stockton is 90
miles nearer all valley points than San
Francisco, It should be given lower
rates from San Francisco and therefor
it asks for a reduction to give it a suf
ficient differential under the bay city's
rate.
In replying to Mann and Durbrow,
Joseph P. Loeb, representing this iity,
pointed out that the only evidence
Introduced concerning- the cost of the
haul over the Tehachapl was that of
fered by Mr. Chambers of the Santa
Fe who testified that the Southern Pa
cific had originally charged the Santa
Fe $12.50 for hauling loaded cars from
Mojave to Bakersfleld, a distance of
68 miles, find $6.25 for empty cars, this
last charge being to cover the oost of
service. Each car averaged 15 tons.
Mr. Loeb stated that this could not
be figured more than 5 cents a hun
dred pounds at the outside, wh'ch cov
ered—not the excess cost for hauling
over the mountains —but the entire
cost for the 68 miles. Despite this
showing, Los Angeles is now charged
a differential of 24 and 26 cents over
San Francisco.
CLAIM MAN DELIBERATELY
LEAPED IN FRONT OF CAR
Unidentified Pedestrian Is Killed
at Ivy Station
Deliberately throwing himself In
front of an inbound Venice car of the
Los Angeles-Pacific railway near Ivy
station yesterday afternoon, an un
identified man, about 40 years old, was
struck by the car and Instantly killed.
His badly mangled body was placed
aboard the car by the train crew and
hurried to the city, where it was met at
Ninth and Hill streets by the policb
ambulance. The body was taken to

WOULD REOPEN EIGHTEEN
YEAR-OLD WILL CONTEST
Copy of Original Testament Not
in Court Files
John Lapique's petition for the revo
cation of letters testamentary granted
nearly sixteen years ago to Jeanne L.
Geantit, as special executrix of the
estate of Marie Begon, who devised
property valued &.t $12,660 then and now
at approximately $60,000, was contin
ued yesterday by Judge Rives of the
probate department of the superior
court until November 1.
Mrs. Begon, who was believed '.3
have hidden a large sum of money in
a mattress, though her relatives
claimed they could find only $42, died
November 9, 1894, in Los Angeles. She
made her son, Alphonse Geantit; her
daughter, Alexandrine Jay, and her
granddaughter, the executrix, the chief
beneficiaries of her will.
The will was admitted to probate
November 27, 1894, and letters testa
mentary were issued to Miss Geantit
December 7, 1894. The will which the
defense alleges was produced in court
at that time now is missing from the
court files, and Lapi.iue, who brought
the present action on the ground that
he is the assignee oi the claims of her
husband, Antolne Begon, asserts his
doubt of Its ever existing.
Lapique states that the husband has
not benefited in any way from the
estnte left by the wife and declares
that it is community property and
therefore he should have a share of it.
Lapique says that the defendants
conspired to defraud the estate; that
they neglected to collect rents for the
property until $15,040 now is due, and
that notes of $15,000 left by Mrs. Be
gon became uncollectible through the
statute of limitations because of the
neglect of the executrix.
The defense declares that Mr. and
Mrs. Begon divided their estate before
hiT death and that what she devised
was personally her's and not in any
sinse community property. According
to that, it is argued, she had the right
to dispose of her estate as she chose.
Judge Rives continued the case un
til November 1, by which time a suit
to quiet title to the property -vill have
been heard lv Judge Hervey's depart
ment of the superior court. The ques
tion of whether the. estate of Mrs. Be
gon was community property will be
settled then.
