FOR THE BOULEVARD
Three Important Motions Carried at
the Meeting Yesterday

At the meeting of the boulevard COM
mittee and property owners yesterday
afternoon in the rooms Of the Merchants
and Manufa cturers' association, three
important motions were made and car
ried without a dissenting voice.
Many millions of dollars worth Of
property was represented and for an
hour or so the members of the committee
and representatives of Main, Spring
Broadway and Buena Vista street and
East Los Angeles property talked the
matter of location over very thoroughly
and discussed the advantages and dis
advantages of various routes proposed
Finally Judge Silent brought the sub
ject in hand to a focus by moving that
the committee adopt the report of the
engineers for the location of the boule-
ward from the Plaza to the East Side
park over the route selected by the en-
gineers. with such changes and modi-
fications as further investigation may
show to be necessary, and ask the coun-
ell of the city of Los Angeles to grant
the petitions Of the Main, Spring an6
Broadway property owners and that Of
those of the East Side as we'll. The mo-
ton was seconded and carried.
Judge Silent then made motion that t
the committee recommend the opening
of Buena Vista street from Bellevue ave-
nue. to the river, and on the East Side,
of Downey avenue to East Side park to
the width Of 100 or 120 feet, as the prop
erty owners on those streets may deter
mine; and that assessment districts be
formed OF such dimensions as to include
all property benefited by that improve
ment Carried.
The third motion, also made by Judge
Silent, was that the committee recon-
mend to the council that that body con-
slider the advisability of inaugurating
Immediately a movement for the extern
sion and opening of Broadway to a con-
nection with Buena Vista street at Belle
vue avenue, by means of a tunnel. That
motion was also carried, and the meet

PERIPATETIC DEAD BEAT
A No. Who Has Travelled Many
Thousand Miles

A No. 1, as he calls himself, reveling
in the distinction of being the champion
dead beat Of the world arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon, en- route, az
he says, from Portland, Ore, to the City
of Mexico, and frcm there to New York
While admitting that he Is tramp, in
a sense. A No. travels with coin or
the realm in his pockets and pays for
everything he gets save transportation
and therein lies his claim to notoriety
During the past eleven years he has
travelled $4,000 miles, $1,000 of which
have been by water. Every portion o.
the globe has been visited. and like the
Wandering Jew, A No. l never stops
he is forever on the move.
In appearance the champion dead beat
is rosy checked, bright eyed, compact.
ly built youth of %, neat in person and
glib talker. He claims to be Of French
descent, and to have parents residing
in San Francisco. When but II years old
he ran away from home one day anG
beat his way to Chicago and from there
to New Orleans. At the latter city he
shipped aboard a vessel which he de-
serted at Belize, British Honduras. From
this point he claims to have made his

the City of Mexico, and finally back to
the United States, a 1900 mile trip.
By this time the nomadic spirit had
been firmly established, and he contin-
ued his wander.ngs. In August, 1894
he established a record for beating his
way across the continent. making the
distance from New York to San Fran
cisco in eleven days, six hours. He wears
a badge given by the Police Gazette
commemorative of the event Asia, At
RIGA. the islands of the Atlantic and Pa
cific, Europe and India have all been
visited. Although starting without ed
ucation, A No, 1 now speaks and writes
six languages. When travelling he wears
overalls and blouse to protect his cloth
ing, so that when striking town he pre-
sents a neat appearance.
From this city he will go direct to El
Paso, thence to Mexico and Vera Cruz.
and by steamer to New York His plans
further than this are unsettled, and he
will move on as circumstances indicate.
A No. claims to be in receipt of an al
lowance from his parents, and besides
to make something by spending for
newspapers. While proud of his distinc~
ton as dead beat, he claims to pay ali
other bills, and merely travels because
he can't help it-he must be con tinually
on the go.

mon this before. and now I have no hope
of ever seeing him again. His son Frank
has called upon me twice and said that
he had received word from his father
telling me not to worry. as he would
come back and settle UP everything he
owes. He refused to tell me where his
father was when l asked him, but sim
ply replied that he was out in the noun
tains."
1t is thought that the total amount
Of the bills left unpaid by German when
he started on his hunting trip will ag-
gregate something like $4,000. This COM
pilation is based on the theory that the
eastern Indebtedness will only amour,
TO between $25O0 and $4,000. The reports
received Of his success as a nimrod are
not very cheering. and it is hardly be-
lieved that he will ever return to the
restful shades of Los Angeles.

DELAYED THE FUNERAL
A Piqued Woman Circulates Ground.
less Story of Poisoning

Mrs. Louis Simpson, colored woman,
died Sunday night at 707 East Third
street. Her husband had arranged for
the funeral yesterday afternoon, but this
was Unexpectedly postponed by Coroner
Campbell who was informed that the
deceased woman's daughter, Lille Jor-
dan, had said that she believed her
mother had been poisoned, which ac-
counted for the dispatch with which she
was to be placed under ground. Upon
investigation the statement proved to be
groundless and Mrs. Jordan admitted
that she had dropped the remark unad-
visedly. She said that she felt piqued
at not being consulted in regard to the
funeral and had made the statement for
that reason. The funeral will proceed

THE SALMON PACK
The Largest in the History Of the
Business

Tne Largest In the History OF the
Business
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. 13.
An official report filed at the custom
house here today by Inspector Webber,
whose detail has been at Point Roberts
for the past three months, shown that
the catch of the fishing season just
closed is the largest ever known in the
northwest. The Alaska Packing COM
pany at Point Roberts put up 95, 900 cases.
Altogether 2500,000 Of fish were caught
off the mouth of the Frazer river during
the season, and nearly as many hump
back salmon were taken from the traps
and left on the mud flats to die and
decay. As result Of the unexpectedly
large run this season. fishermen predict
light run next season. Prices for flsn
range from 10 to Is cents usually, but
this season the fishermen were glad to
sell at 3 cents apiece.

part Is awarded to the Oakland Water

there is nothing unusual in these reserva-

The dispatch to the minister is as fol-

Giberga, expressing his satisfaction in the
new rule and his confidence in lis success.
In his statement he makes a review of all
the reforms; finds complete and satsfac-
tory the tariff reform, whose period of
transition established in the fortieth arti-
Gle, does not affect the principle of auton-
omous tariff. He says that all those re-

that assures to her political liberty and

property. Germany, through her minister,
asks for the discovery and execution Of
the murderers of the missionaries Mes

plicated officials, including the governor of
the Shan-Tung province, in which part
of China the mission was situated: the re-
construction of the missionary buildings;
the payment of an indemnify of 100000

payment of a heavy indemnity to cover

force at Kiao Chu bay; the railroad mo-
nopoly of the Shan Tung province. and
the occupatio of Kiao Chu bay as a Ger

ARMOR PLATE TESTED.
Two s-Inch Shells Fail to Crack or
Penetrate IL.


Washington. Nov. pa plate of armor,
representing a lot of 800 tons for the eight
inch turrets of the battleships Kearsarge
and Kentucky, was tested at the naval
proving ground to-day. For testing pur-
poses two eight-inch shells, one a carpen-
ter projectie, and the other a Wheeler
Stothing, was fired at the plate, one at a
high and the other at low velocity.
Neither penetrated nor cracked the plate,
but partially welded themselves into It.
The test was regarded as entirely satis-
factory and insures the acceptance of the
armor
The delivery of the 800 tons will wind
up the contracts which the government
has with the Carnegie Company for the
supply of armor for naval vessels, and it
is not expected that any more will be en-
tered into pending a settlement of the
whole armor question by congress.
Subsequent to the test the ordnance Off
cials fired a third projectile at The plate.
II was what Is known as a capped SHELF
and was fired to show the penetrating pow
er of projectiles of this character The
results were satisfactory, the shell fired
at a high velocity going entirely through
the plate.

nate the American Agreement.
Washington, Nov. 29.--While our govern
ment has not been advised officially of the
intention of the French government to de-
nounce the treaty of trade and commerce
which has existed between the United
States and Tunis for century, some ac-
ton in that direction is expected In view
of the fact that the matter has been
under consideration by the state de-
partment, and the French embassy Thus
far the negotiations have come to nothing,
for our government has taken the posi-
tlon that there is no authority in the
French government in its present rela-
tions to Tunis for denunciation of a treaty
between the United States and Tunis di-
rect The French government has shown
that every other nation that has had a
similar treaty with Tunis has consented
TO its denunciation and termination, but
our government still stands firm in the
assertion that only the parties to a treaty
have a right to terminate it and that the
quasi-protectorate exercised by France
over Tunis as not "a relation sufficiently
close to warrant the former in denouncing
the treaty of Tunis. There Is very little
at stake, save the principle, inasmuoh as
when the treaty dies the United States
will still be on an even footing with other
nations in its relations to Tunis.

pendency In congress. At that time it was
estimated that customs would yield about
$780, 100000 during the first year, but the
