THEY TAKE 1T GRACEFULLY
The London Graphic Acknowledges a
Loss of Conceit
Disadvantages as Were Suffered
by the Yale Crew

LONDON, Oct. THE Graphic says
this morning of the Yale-Cam bridge
contest at New York:
america has taken the conceit out Of
US in a way unequaled since Australia
beat England at the oval in 1892, and it
may, perhaps. be long time before we
recover from the shock. AS first step
toward accepting defeat gracefully we
might perhaps cease to talk too much
about the differences OF climate as a con-
tributary cause to our defeat. When the
Yale team came over and were beaten by
Oxford they had to compete under con-
ditions of cold and damp quite foreign to
their experience. We did not have the
disadvantage which Yale suffered IN d.
minution of their triumph. and it is not
quite game to enlarge upon similar causes
in mitigation of our defeat"
The Standard says: The victory was
cept for Fitzherbert and Cantabs per.
formed as well as thew generally havs
done at home. One is given to the con-
clusion that Oxford was somewhat lucky
to beat Yale, or decidedly unlucky in sub
sequently losing TO Cam bridge. 1t is i'm
possible to shut ones eyes TO the fact
that at present time America is peculiar
ly rich in capable athletes OF all kinus.
The Sportsman says: The result is not
so utterly disastrous as the London Ath.
letic club defeat, but it does not leave us
much to boast of. 1t is quite evident that
the Cantabs have not done we'll at theil
training owing to the great heat.

DO NOT WANT THE BALLOT
Manifesto of the New York Anti.
Woman Suffragists
Protest Against Being Made to Vote, but Do
Not Think II Wise to Argue
the Question

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 6.-The special
committee of anti-woman suffrag lists,
headed by Mrs. John V. Pruin of this
city. has issued the folio wing address to
the electors of the state of New York:
The committee of women organized to
oppose the amendment to tho constitu-
ton striking out the word "male'' in
the qualification of voters address this
appeal to the electors of the state. The
n EN- bers of the committee are perfectly
aware that it is unconstitutional and
wrong to ask of any person seeking NOM
ination or election to the legislature any
pledge as to the discharge of the respon-
sihility of shis position. They are anx
ious therefore to urge upon the voters of
the STATE that they should take pains to
secure the nomination and election to the
Legislature of men known to be opposed
to the imposition upon woman of the
unwelcome and unsuitable responsibility
OF the ballot. 1t is not thought wise or
necessary to enter into any argument in
this appeal against so radical and funda-
me.ital a revolution in the system OF
elect ions.

AFTER HER SUMMER CRUISE
The Revenue Cutter Rush Arrives at
San Francisco
Search for Arms, but the Patrol
Was Strict

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-The rev.
enue cutter Rush arrived today after her
summer CURSE in Boring sea. She left
for the north early in May last, and since
she has been keeping watchful eye on
the sealing fleet to prevent any infrac-
tions of the international law regarding
the taxing Df seals, and also the nationa l
law IN regard to the importation of liquor
into Alaska. The Rush cruised almost
continually about the eastern part of
the sea, while the Commodore Perry,
Thomas Corwin aud Grant went further
west.
There were sixty-ive sealing schooners
in Boring sea and the cutters were kept
busy overhauling them. The schooners
e. B. Marvin and Beatrice of Victoria,
the Louis Olsen of San Francisco and the
Shelby of Puget sound were seized for
violating the sealing law and sent home.
All OF them were charged with using
firearms in catching seals instead Of
spears, as provided by the international
agreement.
The cutters officers say there is abso-
lutely no truth in the reports circulated
by the masters of some of the sealing
schooners of discrimination against them
in favor of the English seal hunters. The
basis of the stories probably originated
from the fact that by clause in the in
ternational agreement regarding the kill
ing of seals in the Boring seas, the Eng
lish have the right to board American
vessels and seal up their arms.
The American patrol vessels cannot ex-
ercise this privilege on board hunting
schooners. The Americans board the
English vessels and examine the skins
and by that means it is difficult to tell
whether gun or spear has been used
to kill the animal. Whether the guns
are sealed or not, it is practically the
same, and there is little chance for an
offender to escape.

Amusement and Irritation Caused by q Pro.
pesal to Honor Debs
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Ths Chicago labor
associations are again in a turmoil, this
time over the reception which it was pro-
posed to BIZ gwen Eugene V. Dsbs on his
release from the Woodstock Jail. At a
meeting OF the labor congress today it
was reported that arrangements for tn y
reception were progressing, while at
meeting of the Trade and Labor assem-
bly, several delegates expressed their dis
gust with the entire matter and said they
had come to the conclusion that Debs was
not much of martyr after all. 1t devel-
oped later that the officers of the Trade
and Labor assembly claim to have discov-
cred that upon his release President
Debs will enter upon what they call a
war on trades unions and I'll endeavor
to esablisn a political organization which
will have its headquarters at Chicago.
There is considerable amusement among
old time trades unionists over the efforts
Of committee representing the recently
organized labor congress to get the rail-
roads to grant a special rate of fare to
those who will go to Woods tsck to do
honor to President Debs.

A STROKE OF PARALYSIS
Frank House Of Pomona Lying at His
Residence Seriously III
lndisposition Due to His IndefatigabIe Ener ~
and to Care and Worry Over
Business Interests

Frank House, one of the best known
residents OF Southern California, politi-
clan, capitalist and all-round good fellow
is at bis home at Pomona on bed of
sickness from which mis- friends are re-
luctantly compelled to think he will
never arise.
Mr.. Hou SO Is suffering from stroke of
paralysis which affects his entire right
side and which came upon him very I'M
expectedly. There were no premonitory
symptoms. When the stroke first came
upon him his physician feared for the
worst. 1t was thought for time that
his mind was affected, and it was fol- a
time. But Mr.. House has now recovered
complete possession of his mental facul-
ties, and his condition has improved.
Yesterday he was reported to be resting
easy and the word received from his
bedside was that there were some hopes
of his recovery.
Frank House IS only a middle aged
man but he is one OF those active. push
grow under their feet and who when they
once conceive plan or an idea never
rest until it is consummated. 1t is large
ly to this tireless energy that the present
stroke OF paralysis is due.
Mr.. House is and has been prominent
in the politics of Los Angeles county. He
has been affiliated with the Lindley forces
OF the Republican party ever since 1890.
and while he himself has never sought an
elective office, he has succeeded in ad
vancing the am bition of many OF his
friends in Republican county and state
conventions. Mr.. House is we'll known
at Sacramento and San Francisco ds one
OF the leading lights of Republication
in the land of the orange groves.
MIR. House has always had great faith
in the future of real estate in this section
and has invested heavily in it both in
the city of Los Angles and in the
country round about. He has large in
terests, and it was the care and worry
that they caused him that has IN
measure resulted in his indisposition.
the physician attending him states
that he must have absolute quiet and rest
for weeks to come if his recovery is TO
be looked or hoped for. Later. if his
strength will warrant it, he will be taken
to some OF the health giving springs
south Of the Tehachepi to recuperate.

oNrARIo's ENTERPRISE

Ontario seems to be enjoying a small
sized boom in the way OF public and pri-
vats improvements. Asusptantially con-
structed and we'll equipped electric rail-
road has commenced operations, so that
now the public can travel the entire
length of Euclid avenue, one of the beau
tiful thoroughfares of the state, with
rapid transit CT the modern kind. A
good sewer system nearing completion
will help it maintain its reputation of
being one Of the most healthful spots in
California, and numerous private i'm
provements of handsome appearance and
durable character show shat it is keeping
up with the procession OF progress that is
now so much in evidence IN this part of
the world.
This little city OF Ontario is one OF the
marvels of the Golden state. Less than
. decade and half since the site it now
makes charming was as Innocent of or
ange and lemon groves as the Mohave
desert; today the view that would open
up to the gaze OF an uninitiated stranger
would elicit from the latter the opinion
that the colony represented not less than
. third of century of growth and build
ing. In no other part of Southern Cali
fornia is the wonderful fertility and
diversified properties Of our soil better
testified to. It Is not easy to find more
enticing place for a home in which both
comfort and profit may be found in full
est measure. A great extent of very val
liable country is tributary to Ontario,
and in the last i've years lit has under
gone q wondrous change. Thousands Ct
acres that five years since lay idle or
that at best had been put to no higher
use than grain cultivation, are now
planted to choice varieties of citrus and
deciduous fruits, and the sugar beet that
continues to prosper in spite of the re-
moval of the bounty.
The success of Ontario and the rapid
development of the adjacent country after
the attention of the capitalist and laborer
had been drawn to is. is illustrative of
the wondorus possibilities of Southern
California.
These achievements show that we have
the elements of greatness with us, and
with intelligently applied energy we can
make the results of the last twenty years.
great as they unquestionably are. look
small beside those of the next score.

LOSING THEIR COUNTRY

The big land grant owned oy q syndi-
cate largely comprised of New Workers,
and which is Esupposed to be imperilled
IN part by Great Brtain's dispute with
Venezuela regarding a boundary line,
consists of IA, 900. 900 acres. According
to the present head of the company own
ing it, the grant is rich in asphalt, iron.
gold, rnbber and other numerous and
highly valuable substances. This young
principality was given by the kind Vene.
uelan governments in 1883 to one Fitzger-
aid. presumably because the wise and
long headed statesmen who made the
gift were in fear of the land running
away if not owned by som nobody.
In the course of few generations
when the South American republic be-
gins to be crowded with population and
the same old story OF the ages, of a poor
many and rich few, is told over again,
the suepfcIal political prophets will arise
and stalk through the land proclaiming
that the cause of the inequality in wealth
and condition is lack of money, contrac-
tion of the currency, railroad monopoly,
too m UGH whisky, the other crowd get
ting all the offices or some other Incl
dental or comparatively inconsequential
trouble.
The fact that a limited number OF
persons, as result of this wholesale
giving away of the peoples heritage,
own the resources of Venezuela, and that
the mass of the people can only procure
the things essential to living and COM
fort that come from these resources, on
the terms prescribed bv this limited
number, will never be considered by the
politicians In Venezuela any more than
by those of more enlightened countries.
They will quarrel over mere symptoms
and effects just as energetically and fool
ishly as the alleged statesmen of our
own family do today. When will people
learn to distinguish between cause and
effect.

LARGER THAN LAST WEEK
The Crowd Yesterday Afternoon at
Westlake Park
Professor Raymons' Diving Combination
Drew Out Over Eight Thousand
People

Professor F. b. Raymons repeated his
high diving performance at Westlake
park yesterday afternoon, before an audi
ence even larger than tho one which
gathered to see the show one week be-
fore. The walks in the park and the
lawns were lined with men, women and
children, while the neighboring streets
were blocked with carriages. There must
have Teen between 10, Quo and II, 900 peo-
pie present.
Instead OF one assistant, as had been
the case at his previous performance,
Professor Raymohs yesterday had three
helpers. He himself did several very
clever fancy diving tricks, his best act
being the dive into Westlake from the
seventy live foot tower. Professor Dave
Maxey, who is the star com edian of the
Raymons aquatic com bination, edited
the CROWD by being blown into the water
from forty foot elevation by means of a
huge fire cracker. Maxey landed in ex-
cellent shape. turning somersault or
two in tho air before he reached bottom.
Professor T. G.. Edwards did back
flip into the lake from forty foot eleva-
tion, which made the women and chill
dren in the park hold their preaths while
he was saving the air and caused them
to remark several thrilling abs before the
divers head had been soused in the cold
waters of the lake.
Professor kaymons announced before
the exhibition was at an end that next
Sunday afternoon. at the same time and
place, he intends to make a fifty foot
dive with hands and feet securely tied.
The services OF the Raymons diving
com blnation are paid for ~ the Los An
geles Railway company, the firm which
controls the park boating privileges, and
some OF the shop keepers who do bust
ness in the vicinity, all of whom find the
investment a very profitable one. The
tower in the park was erected at the ex-
pense of the Gable Railway company.
