that might be got together from the best
players on this coast. What could ii do
against the Butte team If given week s
practice In teamwork and slgnais.2 Not
man on this picked team has played
football less than three seasons, and some
have had six years experience. All have
received the best coaching in Eastern
methods. Not one of them is gutter,
nor, as experience has shown, are they
the kind that are laid out in game, or
that cost their team the penalties for off
side or foul playing or holding in the line.
Unless there has been a miraculous i'm
provement in the quality of football
played by the big Butte team here a year
ago, this All-California team could in all
probability outclass it almost man for man
in all those points of play that dIstin-
guish football from q game of terrific
strength, with here and there phenom-
enally heet-footed man valuable in adj
vancing the ball, but of little use in de-
fensive play. And right here credit should
be given one unusually fast runner, whose
defensive play in the Thanksgiving game
was exceptionally fine and particularly
surprising in view of his earlier per-
formances. Searight's defensive work as
halfback in that game was to be COM
sons past.
That this ALL California team could de-
feat Butte will never be actually proven,
but on Christmas afternoon when Butte
meets Olympic at Central Park a good
line ought to be furnished on what the
score would be.
This morning the Butte team will arrive
in this City direct from Montana by
sneoial car

Chairmen Selected Last
Night at a Caucus of
Superyisors.Elect.
DR.. Rottanzl Chosen the Head of
the Finance Committee to
DR.. Clinton's Sorrow.
Morton, Republican, Given a Place on
Outside Lands Because There Was
No Democrat for It.

There was caucus of Supervisors elect
last evening in the Office OF DR.. T. A. Rot
tamil for the purpose of selecting the chair
men of standing committees of the board.
Supervsor-elect Britt, on account of his
parliamentary knowledge. was selected to
preside.
There was no contest for any of the po-
sitions except for the Finance Committee.
Dr. Clinton wanted the position, so did Dr.
Rottanzi, and there was quite little
struggle for the place. To the disappoint-
ment of DR.. Clinton his opponent got
away with the prize by vote of to-
The defeated doctor then announced
that he wanted the Craftsmanship of
the Outside Lands Committee, but
after some talk he agreed to take
the Water Committee with the I'M
Outstanding that he wonld be allowed to
choose his associates. AS Britt and Dodge
voted for him for the Finance Committee
il is possible that they will be his asso-
ciates.
Lackman (R.l had experienced desire
for the Craftsmanship of the License Com
mittee and Smith (R.) also wanted to be
on the NOdlA1ittoc, So nc was
allowed that position. There was but one
Craftsmanship to fill, with no Democrats
and only one Republican left unprovided
for. This was the Outside Lands Commit
tee and that went to Morton.
The chairmanships as decided in caucus
are as follows:
Finance-Rottanzi (D)
Streets-Deyaney CD
Hospital-Dodge CD
Water-Clinton 3D.
Health and Police-Delaney (D.)
Printing-Heskins CD
Lights-Rivers (D.)
Fire Department-Britt Cd
Public Buildings-Sheeh han (D.)
Judiciary-Smith (R.)
License-Lackman (R.)
Outside Lands-Morton (R.)
The meeting, outside of the contest on
the Finance Committee, was a very har-
monious one, and there was an agree
ment until some date not yet determined
upon to make selection of those who
will act in conjunction with the several
heads of committees.

THE DIAMOND PALACE.
Colonel Andrews Desire to Retire
From Business Is
Absolute.

AS the readers of THE CALL are aware,
our distinguished fellow-townsman, Colo
mel Andrews, announced his intention
some time ago of closing up his business
and retiring from active life. The colonel
informed reporter to-day that he would
adhere to this resolution and that he
would sacrifice his entire stock for this
purpose. His magnificent stock of dia-
monds will be sold So per cent less than
any other house in the City.
Silverware, regardless of the most ex-
quisite design and costly make, will be
closed out at 95 cents per ounce.
At this time of the year, when irrespon-
sible people are offering unreliable induce
ments to purchasers, it is fortunate
thing that intending buyers of Christmas
jewelry and objets dart can avail them
selves of the colonePs assurance of an In
mense reduction, which, as the entire COM
munity knows, is absolutely guarantee of
quality and price.
THE CALL regrets the colonePs departure
from San Francisco's business life, Of
which be has formed so important his
torical part, together with the disappear
ance of the famous Diamond Palace,
which stands without peer in the world.

Some Cases of Unusual Interest Come
Up for Consideration.

Some Cases of Unusual Interest Come
Up for Consideration.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-In an
opinion filed by Justice Brewer of the Su-
preme Court of the United States the val
idity of the laws of the territory OF Arizona
were sustained relating to the collection of
delinquent taxes. The courts mandate
was ordered to issue instanter in the ap-
peals OF the Western Union Telegraph
Company from the Judgment of the SUI
preme Court of Ohio, affirming the tax
law of that State. Last week the tele-
graph company gave notice that 1t would
abandon the appeals.
Solicitor-General Conrad moved the
court to set aside Its Judgment in the case
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany VS.. Leonard P. Colburn and grant a
rehearing because of newly discovered in
terests of the United States. The time
within which the mandate of the court
should issue on its judgment in favor Of
Colburn was extended sixty days.
The case OF T. La Koo-Jel-Leo. an
Alaska Indian under sentence OF death for
murder, was set for argument on the first
Monday in March. This is the first
capital case from Alaska.
By divided court, the judgment OF the
Circuit Court for the Northern District of
Illinois in favor of the Chicago, Rock
Island aud Pacific Railroad Company was
affirmed. The United States sued the
railroad company for the amount of tolls
received by it for transporting freight cars
of other roads across the Government
bridge over the NJ lsslssippi River at Rock
Island, but the Circuit Court dismissed the
bill, and now it stays dismissed.
At the conclusion of the session of to-
day the court adjourned until the first
Monoay in January.

National standard fo,. Grain.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 22.-In the
Senate to-day Gear submitted favorable
report on the bill to establish National
standard for grain. The bill has the in
dorsement of the Agricultural Depart
ment, which says it is commendable and
seeks to find standard for classify ing
and grading grains which may be used in
interstate and foreign trade, and is only
less in i'm Importance than the fixing by
Congress of the standard of Withdrawals
and measures.
