alias Lonsdale, who has just completed a
term in Portland Prison, and who is wanted
in Rochester, N Y, on charge of attempt
ed murder, was arraigned in the Bow Street

Judge Lippincott today accidentally con-

the results of the legislative muddle. He

SPECIAL BICYCLE RACES.


The Los Angeles and Riverside Teams
to Settle tho Supremacy.
Since the East Side Cycling club Of
fered the trophy cup for q 25-mile
team race, there has been considerable
rivalry between the Los Angeles wheel
men and Riverside as to which had the
best team. Last year the Riverside
team won the cup with ease, for the
reason that the Los Angeles boys were
not in condition, with one exception.
which was jenkins, W no was "pocketed'
by four of the Riverside team while the
fifth man went ahead and won the race.
This year the Los Angeles boys had .
walkover, as two OF the Riverside boys
fell in the third mile.
1t is now proposed to have special
20 mile race between the two teams, to
decide which is the real champion, as
beth are Dissatisfied, claiming they were
handicapped in each race by losing men
in the beginning. All that now remains
to make the race ia for the Riverside
riders to challenge the winners of this
years race, as the Los Angeles team has
expressed it's willingness to ride race
for epeciel trophy.
There ia no doubt whatever that the
Riverside boys will issue the challenge.
Should this race take place it will be
one Of the prettiest ever seen in the
west, as the teams are evenly matched.
The race will probably take place before
the middle of July.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

nothing but the honor of holding the
Office"
The city auditor, city attorney and
city engineer" said Mr.. Wood being
men of hnical abilities, should receive
large salaries"
The street superintendents Office next
came in for some criticism, and it was
agreed that very large saving could be
made in this department.
81 think some of these heightened
inspectors who are getting So or 81 per
day should be cut of" said Mr.. Fore
man.
Mr.. Munson-The council cannot in
terfere with the payment OF these in
spectors, for they are paid under the
| state law, and as matters now stand the
street superintendent is virtually inde-
pendent OF the council.
Mr.. Nickell-rhat is one OF the prin-
cipal reasons why we are in favor of
making the street superintendent an
officer appointed by the council. We
can then hold him to a strict accounta-
bility for all his employees.
"You will find that the Citizens
league will bs unanimously in favor Of
making the street superintendents Of
hce an appointive one," said Mr.. For
man.
~ believe that our recommendation
putting the street superintendent
in the city engineers office is the proper
one" said Mr. Forman.
81 do not agree with you in that par
ticular," replied Mr.. Nickel. 'We
ought to have a thoroughly practical
man familiar with street work as street
perntendent, and L do not know of
one man big enough to combine the i'm
portant practical knowledge of atreet
work with the theoretical knowledge of
the engineer. The offices should be
separate and distinct. believe also
that it would throw too much political
patronage into the hands Of one man.
"There should be no difference in con-
Quoting the business of the city than
the affairs of any man with large bust
ness interestc." said Mr.. Slauson.
YES" said Mr.. Nickel, "but that is
a Utopisn idea as long as our officials
are elected by political parties. 1t is
the element of politics that makes all
the difference in the world"
After some further discussion the
committee adjourned until next Tuesday
afternoon.
