A AMILLIONAIRE'S GENIUS

Mr.. Charles Fl. Hastings, the young

UTAH'S ELECTION.
To BE Watched on the Ground That 1t
Was Illegal.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 6-The legal
ity of the recent election in Utah is to
be contested.
Judge Ritchie of the district court of
Utah, the defeated candidate for judge,
will tomorrow ask the supreme court to
issue a writ prohibiting the state board
of canvassers from canvassing the re-
turns.
The points relied upon to sustain the
case are that the law under which the
election was held was not properly pass
ed, by the legislature. and even if it had
been properly passed it would not be
constitutional. for the reason that it does
not provide for a secret ballot.

by the Browns on passed ball with two
men out in the ninth inning.
The victory of the Browns was mainly
due to their effective work with the
bat. The Downey nine played a su-
perior field game, but at critical stages
failed to connect with Magee's deliv
cry. Their record shows but eight hits
and no earned runs, to thirteen hits and
four earned runs for the Browns.
Fred Magee, the Browns pitcher,
seems to have entirely overcome that
wildness which has characterized his
delivery of late. He gave no bases
on balls, and the eight hits off him were
scattered singly through seven innings.

The members of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club football team met at the
Athletic clubrooms yesterday morning
for the purpose of reorganizing the team
and deciding upons a schedule of games
for the winter Several new men were
put on the team, and it is now the in
tention to practice constantly, in order
to give the Berkeley and Iowa teams a
warm reception when they meet here
during the holidays.
By the changes that have been made it
is hoped that new life will be infused
into the team and that football record
will be made of which Los Angeles can
justly feel proud. Goodale and Call,
who distinguished themselves on the
Throop team in the fall games, have
joined the Athletics.
The men that will line up for the holi-
days will be as follows: Mcpherson,
center; d. Smith, right guard; Jarg-
starff, left guard; Wilson. right tackle;
end; Edwards, left end Call, right half;
Hanlon. left half; Goodale, quarter
back; Ramsauer. full back.
This will place a strong team in the
field, and it is thought that a good show
ing can be made in the holiday games.
Steps are being taken to organize an
Athletic second team, and the matter
is in the hands of Mr.. Atwood. The OBJ
ject is to have two teams, in order that
practice games may be played constant
ly. The members of the second team
who make the best showing are to be
used as substitutes on the first team in
the match games.
The Throop institute team will line
up once more this season against the
San Diego team after which it will dis
band for the year. All efforts to induce
the team to play the Whittier team
have failed.
A football game is to be played be-
tween the Athletic club and San Diego
teams in the near future, although the
date has not yet been set.

Capacity of a Corn Crib.

1t Is safe rule in estimating tho
size of crib. to allow two cubic feet
TO each bushel Of corn. BY a cubic
bushei is meant 20 pounds of ear corn,
which is equivalent to sc pounds OF
shelled corn. The rule is to allow Ii
pounds for cob in the fall, and IL
pounds in the spring after the corn has
been dried out perfectly. Two cribs
thirty feet long. six feet wide and ten
feet high, will by this rule hold 1900
bushels. Ten feet is too high to throw
corn easily with a scoop shovel, but
there can be two openings for each crib
extending down to within four or five
feet of the floor, and when the crib Is
full to the bottom Of these, short boards
can be placed across them. as the crib
IS filled. and most of the filling can be
done with case. When the cribs must
