EXPERT PAYS. PUT DOWN BIG LIGHTING BILL. DELEGATE TELLS HOW HIS SON SAVED MONEY, Incidents of the Third Day's Sessions of the League ef California Municipalities Gathered in Pasadena Plans for Entertainment of Degetates Today, In the third day's session of the League of California Municipalities at Pasadena yesterday, a feature was story told by A. C. Orr of Visalla in the course of the discussion of proper methods of control of street lighting companies.

The former representative In the Legislature spoke of receiving a bill from the company In his town of $8.75 for one of the summer months, At that time his son was home. The latter was an expert. in the Schenec tady works of New York State. He hunted up the meter and then asked his father what the "unit" was, Nothing was known of a unit except the multiplication of dollars payable every month. The younj man then tackled the collector, and then the company officers.

On a test conducted under proper conditions it was shown that Mr. Orr was entitled to a re bat, on the bill In question of $4.75, leaving only $2 to pay. He afterward had the readings of the meter hunted up on his old bills and secured a substantial rebate. Mr. Orr declared that upon his Investigation he found that no two of these meters will register alike when tested over the same current.

He also dclared that it was his opinion that the whole State of California Is being roDDea by the electric companies in the same proportion, that Is, that the companies everywhere are collecting a little over 3 for $1 worth of 'service rendered. Mayor J. J. Hanford of San Ber nardlno told of the fight of his city for proper lighting, and that it now has good success with a private stock company, which charges $4.50 per month for arc lights In place of $7 and $9 previously paid. Sacramento was chosen us the next place of meeting by unanimous vote on the roll call, although one of the delegates said he thought "Sacramento made a mistake when It assured the delegates that It would open two breweries and the oldest winery In the State, and that the contents thereof would cost the delegates nothing.

"This wag entirely unnecessary and In bad taste," he added. The following officers were elected Mayor J. J. Hanford of San Bernardino, president; Wesley of San Jos, first vice-president; A. C.

Orr of Visalla. second vice-president. and H. A. Mason, secretary.

Mr. Mason is the father of the League of Municipalities, and his tenth election was made by a rising vote and cheer. There are several business meetings scheduled for today, and, besides this. the delegates will be taken for an automobile ride around the city. Mayor i--rley will entertain the visiting Mayors at luncheon at the Maryland.

This evening the delegates will be en tertained at a banquet at the Mary land given by the Board of Trade. Rev, M. Dowling- has been chosen for toastmaster. FOR STATE BANKS. EW YORK MOVE IS INDORSED.

EXPECTED TO SPREAD TO OTHER SECTIONS. Bankers Express Belief That Much Good Will Result from Appointment by Gov. Hughes of Commission to Recommend Changss in Laws for State Institutions. 1 1BT THE ASSOCIATED NEW YORK, Nov. 14.

In New York financial circles the view was freely expressed today that the action of Gov. Hughes in appointing a commission to recommend changes in the New York banking laws may result in a similar movement extending to other sections of the country, and in the enactment of legislation which will place State banks on a basis and under supervision more closely akin to that of the national banks. A. B. Hepburn, president of the Chase National Bank, and former Comp troller of the Currency, who, it Is generally conceded, will be chairman of the Hughes commission.

Is a strong advocate of the national banking system in the financial world; It is believed that Mr. Hepburn will personally recommend to his associates that the State law should be made to conform as nearly as possible to the Federal statutes. The report of the commission In looked forward to by bankers generally aa likely to express at once the highest and most conservative opinion as to reforms needed in th way of State financial legislation. Many bankers are inclined to hetlera that the report of the commission made to Gov. Hughes may form the frame work of legislation in manv other State.

The recommendations of the commission are, therefore, looked upon as being national, as well 3 local in character. 1 Mr. Hepburn said today that the commission will get to work inside of one weea. Trust companies. It is understood, will come in for a large share of consideration by the commission, and it is believed the sugpestion will be mada that the laws governing them should conrorm to tnose relating to the regular batiks.

All of the members of the commission named by Oov, Huphes toiy 'r nra nf fV; upon them. Eanking imerest generally in the city approved the action of the Governor In nr.pc.lnti'i mkrte him vrry succe.Mful for many jean. Mr. Barney was financially interested In the McCs.Ha Dam Company, a 110. 000,000 concern organised to furnish power from the Susquehanna River to Baltimore and other cities.

The Knickerbocker Trust Company has securities In that concern. Mr. Barney was ft member of many Hoolal clubs. His sons are Ashbel H. and James and his daughters are Mrs.

Archibald Alexander, and Mrs. Cortland D. Earnest, BARNEY'S UNDOINO. Mr. Barney's undoing came with the disclosures of the Knickerbocker Trust Company management, which followed the failure of Otto Helnze Co.

Mr. Barney had been associated with O. F. and E. R.

Thomas and Charles W. Morse, and, when these three men were eliminated from the banking business, suspicion was directed toward the Knickerbocker, on the afternoon of October 21 the 'National Bank of Commerce notified the Clearinghouse Association that it would no longer clear for the Knickerbocker. A meeting of the trust company directors was hurriedly called. That night Mr. Barney resigned the presidency.

The following day there was a run upon the Knickerbocker, which forced it to suspend. Mr. Barney, who had seen the institution grow from the custodian of $11, 000,000 to be the holder of 105,000,000 of trust deposits, took the matter greatly to heart. The receiver, however, soon decided that Mr. Barney's dealings with the bank were proper, and that, so far as he personally was concerned, the bank was in no trouble.

Freed from banking connections, he set about to straighten out his personal affairs, but soon seemed to lose courage. The circumstances of the suicide showed that Mr. Barney was a victim of acute melancholy, culminating in suicidal mania. BARNEY'S HOME LIFE NOTORIOUSLY, UNHAPPY, tBT DIRECT WIRE TO THE TIMES. 1 NEW YORK, Nov.

14. Exclusive Dispatch. In addition to his financial troubles, Charles Tracey Barney's home life was unhappy. For months it had been the gossip in the social circles in which the Barneys moved and they were the highest that Mrs. Barney had instructed her lawyers to pre pare papers in a suit for absolute di vorce, i -'w One New York paper says Mrs.

Barney would have received a decree with in a few days on an undefended ac tion, sealed papers. Keport had it that Mrs. Barney insisted upon naming a prominent: society in whose company her husband spent a great deal of his time. The woman in question lives with her husband in a "beautiful home near Fifth avenue. on one of the cross streets, below Cen tral' That Mr.

and Mrs. Barney were not even on a friendly basis in their own home had long been known to their close friends. It was whispered -that the Barneys never spoke to eacn other. They appeared side by side at receptions and other functions they gave at their magnificent town house, but-close observers noticed that they never ad dressed each other. When Charles W.

Morse; one of Bar neys business was seen tonight, he said he knew nothing of these domestic troubles. He said: "I had known Mr. Barney for many years and the news of his tragic end came as a great shock to me. In ail of our dealings he always acted as man of the most scrupulous honor and his methods of transacting business compelled the respect of all his asso ciates. Mr.

Barney died with a broken heart. His dethronement from the presidency of the Knickerbocker Trust Company was, in his opinion, most un just. His life was wrapped up in the success of the Knickerbocker. It was his especial pride. When he walked out of the board room of the.

trust company on that last day. he was a broken-hearted man and in the time that elapsed since then his1 anguish and grief multiplied until his position had become unbearable. Mr.1 Barney, personally, was one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest real estate operator in New York within the last ten years. His last real estate transaction was completed on Oc tober 22 of this year, when he mortgaged his house at, Thirty-eighth street and Park avenue to Samuel Hoyt for $150,000. Barney was a director or officer the following companies, but resigned from many of them after the Knick erbocker crash: French-American Bank, member of the American, advisory board.

The Alliance Realty company. American Ice Company. The Audit Company of New York, member' of advisory committee of stockholders. Bank for Savings In the City of New York, trustee. Century Realty Company: vice-pres Ident and director.

As the re sult of the representations, frankly reported by a special committee of grain interests, the railroad embargo placed about a month ago on grain from Buffalo has been raised and all the Buffalo (New York) lines will cooperate in a movement to aid In the movement of grain from this country.

Gentle Mary Austin Tdh of Her Plans.

Has Just Completed Another Strong Story. Vital Issues of Humankinl Interest Her. "There Is such a thing as 'wester ness, yesterday declared that un-tramelled priestess of the desert, and well-known California writer, Mrs. Mary Austin, coining a new word with the nonchalance of western experi ence. A Times reporter discovered Mrs, Austin in Los Angeles yesterday, whither she has come to vlnit her brother.

J. M. Hunter, of Beverly. Shu Is a pilgrim from that unique settlement, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and is on her way to spend a winter In Rome, where she Intends to learn things she has not been able to find out in the desert. "Weaternesa is not a matter of clothes and phraseology," Mrs.

Austin averred. "It is getting near to the old Greek idea; it is a short cut to the essentials of right living. Tightness, in the West, referring not so much to a moral quality as to a means of ultimate good," Mrs. Austin says there are many true westerners living In the East, and they come to the West because the treer atmosphere is their native ele ment. This little lady with the pale gold braids wound about her head has set the East and West wide apart in a book she has Just completed and sold to the Century company.

It is called A Common and is a book of contemporary California lit. A bunch of eastern people and a bunch of westerners have been mixed up in business and in love, and pno finds "The East is the East and the West is the West," when the crucial instances of life are met by the book people. Mrs. Austin has long been In the UtqJ of mind that constitutes a Call- torn Ian, and she has a highly-developed case of "westerness." "I expect to smash things every time I turn around in the East," she laughingly remarked, "though shall not intend to do so." Mhe will certainly not find anything resembling the much-talked-of Carmel-by-the-Sea, i where she hag lived since the San Francisco disaster. From the isolation of Inyo county, on the edge of the Painted Desert, where Mrs.

Austin lived for many years, she went to take up her abode in the doomed city, and subsequently Joined tne colony of artists, musicians and writers on. the Coast. George Stirling, whose name has gone like a flame throughout the East with his "Testimony of the Sun" and "The Wine of Wizardry;" James Hopper, Sydney Yard, Sutton Palmer, the English water-colorlst; Henry Ride-out of Harvard, whose latest book Is "The Siamese Cat," and others of that ilk maintain a community life that is the envy of kindred spirits throughout the country. "We work in the morning." said Mrs. Austin, "and every one works hard at Carmel-by-the-Sea.

In the afternoon we have mussel bakes, cut down boe trees, and ait on the front of the hills and look out over the sea. and we talk, always we talk," was the feminine conclusion. Ten years have rolled off Mrs. Aus tin In appearance since her visit to Los Angeles three years ago. She will tell you that it is because she can now work to her heart's content "7 have always had an Immense appetite for work," she declared, "for creative expression, and now I have time for it.

"I had housework and all kinds of things to keep nW from the work 1 loved, and there Is a 1 thing called temperament which, denied expression, produces a definite pain," she added. The hampering conditions passed over so bravely by Mrs. Austin were really tremendous obstacles, conditions at one time as hard and cruel and sordid as poverty and a rough mining camp could impose upon a del-lcately-nurturecV woman. Mrs. Austin has not missod the worth of her experiences, She has transmuted them into books.

Since writing "The Land of Littfe Rain." and "Isidro." she has been very busy. Another story to come out serially this winter Is "Lost Borders." a tale of the desert. She has also taken to play writing and Rays she has gotten more fun out of Jt than she ever oia oui or anytning else. "The Arrow Maker," is on trial with a leading theatrical company in Now York. Miss Pearl Alberts, starring now in -ine Kweetest Uirl In Dixie has dramatized "Isidro," and will star in next season.

Mrs. Austins greatest interest lies in lire itseir. sue careB not for plays, nor for abstruee studies, nor anything else unless there is a direct bearing on the vital issues of humankind. "I do not care whether Mars is inhabited," said she, "but I do care what is going to be done with Abe Ruef." Before the earthquake put an end to many enterprises, Mrs. Austin, with Elmer Harris and -others, was Interested in building a theater to produce plays of real-life Interest, regardless of the receipts of the box office.

Those plans were laid low, but Mrs. Austin feels very hopeful in regard to the general trend of thought In favor of these vital productions. She thinks people are realizing more and more that the stage is their proper medium of speech, just as it was in the beginning of the drama, when pliys were produced in the churches to teach lessons of life. Mrs. Austin was more deeply Impressed by the fact that a Los Angeles audience sat through and enjoyed a production of Ibsen's "Doll's House," last week, than she was by the tall buildings and other spectacular tm--pr-avements that the last three yearn have brought forth In this city.

tBT THE ASSOCIATED NEW YORK, Nov. affidavit setting forth on Information and belief that to her marriage to him, Katherine Clemmons'e relations with William F.

The affidavit declares that vu Clemmons told Mr. Gould that her relations with Cody were purely of a ousiness nature, but that he haa slnci learned that this was not true.

Through Katherine Mer of London, Gould said he expected to show that his wife confessed to Miss Mei the true nature of her relations with, Cody. The case came up before Justice O'Gorman today on the application of Clarence Shearn, counsel foe Mrs. Gould, to have vacated an ordei) which Mr. Gould recently got from Justice Fitzgerald for the examination of Miss Mer as a witness in the suit for a separation. Mr.

Sheam argued that tJould's affidavit does not deflna the nature of the alleged relations between his wife and Cody. "We desire to have this order vacated," continued Mr. Shearn, "for the reason that In an action such as this, where the wife lived with the defendant for eight years and has brought action tor separation, she should be directly confronted with the woman that made the statement that twelve years ago, prior to their marriage, the plaintiff had maintained meretricious relations with some other man. She should confront the Jury and be cross-ex-amlned. OBITUARY.

(Continued From First Page.) the consideration of the payment of State troops which looked after government property in San Francisco during the recent car for whose pay no provision is made.

PRESSURE WAS STRONG. The' opinion had prevailed for some time that the Governor would call the Legislature into extraordinary session. Pressure to this end has been brought to bear upon him from all parts of the State. At first the Governor was much averse to calling the Legislature together, on the ground that It would be an advertisement to the world that California cannot pay its taxes. During the last few days he has been besieged by prominent proponents of the special session, and today reached the conclusion that such convocation la necessary.

At the conference, which began early this afternoon and continued for several hours, all phases of the question were considered. During the last few days the bankers have been most insistent that an extra session is necessary, and their (position was urged upon the Governor again today with great energy. It has been Intimated that the Gov-ernor, several days ago, made up his mind to convene the solons, and that the conference was more for the purpose of determining what points should be Included in the call than from any other purpose. Be that as it may, the Governor has not fully concluded all details of the call at a late hour The refusal of the Tax Collector of San Francisco to accept the clearinghouse certificates in payment of taxes was the Initial incentive urged upon the Governor as making a special session necessary. Since that time, the Governor has been asked to Include in the call eoores upon scores of matters.

He had decided, however, that the Legislature would be asked to consider the smallest number of matters which he deemed necessary for the public good. GOVERNOR'S STATEMENT. Today he went over the whole list again and cut right and left, until tonight he ha-d pruned down the list of possibilities to less than a-dasen. Of this number the Governor stated the fire which will certainly be included in the call. Of the otners, he said; "It is possible that one or two more may be included, tor instance, the State troops, who were called out to protect government property during the recent car strike at San Francisco have not been paid, aa there ts no fund from which thty may be paid.

It is possible I will advise consideration of an appropriation of the money necessary to pay them. No, I cannot say what other mat ters may be included, Perhaps none will be, and perhaps one or two may be after I have had time to go over the list again. The matters I have spoken to you of as to be included in the call, speak for themselves. I should certainly not ask the Legislature to consider these matters, unless I deemed their consideration as necessary." When asked in particular regarding the proposal ti oast Andrew M. Wilson from the office of railroad com- 'If I bad not thought thst should pnt so advise the fail.

I have for a long i.wp thought that Wilson in not a proper man io boH the rwt-punplWe po-siTion which he occurs, an.j I have for a long time wished him to-relinquish the office. As far back as last April I sent him a letter requesting him to resign, but the resignation has not been forthcoming." Gov. Gillett stated tonight that he wishes the Legislature to do Its work in as short a time as possible and at the least expense to the State. A. F.
