AVENUE NOT YET IN FORM.
A Few Horsemen Started Up Their Horses
Bur the Footing Was Poor.

There is plenty of snow, but very
little good sleighing on the avenue-the
accepted speedway of Worcester.
At least, that was true yesterday
afternoon and in fact it generally is the
case Immediately after big storm
Several days are always required to
work the path around into fit condition
for speeding purposes after a storm.
And until the path is fit, and the foot
ing good, road drivers and pleasure
drivers fight shy of the avenue
In spots the sleighing on the avenue
was fair, yesterday afternoon. Several
Of the city's teams were at work break
ing out the sides of the course. and
when the snow there is worked into
the center and the whole levelled off
there will be a snow bed that will be the
medium of furnishing lots of sport for
owners of fast horses
A few horsemen started up their ami
mails yesterday afternoon but one or
two trips down through were sufficient
to make them see the danger to their
horses and to themselves in fast work.
The path is fairly we'll beaten down, but
the course is uneven on account Of the
high wind that accompanied the snow.

READJusTED FREIGHT RATES
Merchants and Manufacturers Want tt
Extend Business

Last September the heavy shippers of
Los Angeles, through the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, petitioned the
Southern Pacific to make a freight rate
from this point to San Joaquin valley equal
per mile to that from San Francisco south
into the valley.
Mr.. Shepard, who was the agent here at
that time appeared before a meeting Of
the shippers and said that as soon as the
San Joaquin Valley road was completed
and in operation to Bakersfield freight
rates would be readjusted.
Last month his attention was called to
this promise, and he writes that the time
has arrived tn take up the matter; that he
is compiling a comparison of rates and
that the work will be completed in few
days, when he will give definite advice In
the premises.
1t is not known what rates will be made
but the association hopes the read1ust-
ment will enable Los Angeles to do bust
ness in the San Joaquin valley.
Secretary Zsehandelaar is In receipt of
circular from New York showing hand
cart for use in street sweeping. The cart
is not just the thing wanted, and the price
quoted would make the equipment cost
about $1,000, which is more than the asso-
citation would care to invest. Other styles
of carts will be considered before the mat
ter takes definite form.

A LIVELY FIGHT WITNESSED
Lewis Demonstrated Himself Match

Lost BY Foul

The fight between Bob Thompson Of

crowd. Thompson was given the fight on
q foul in the ninth round. The fight was
lively from start to finish. Lewis Is q
young man, but he demonstrated that he
has the making of a splendid fighter in him.
In addition to being clever he is game and
took some terrible punishment without
flinching. He made splendid showing and
several times 1t looked as if the San Fran

much the advantage over Thompson in

DIRECT LEGISLATION
Initiative and Referendum Discussed
by Edward PomeroY

A well-attended meeting Of the Hickory
club was held last night at the clubs
rooms In the Gardner-Zellner building A
report from the treasurer showed finances
In good condition, and 37b active and 30
auxiliary members on the roll Chairman
Hellman then introduced Edward Pom
eroy Of New Jersey who addressed the
meeting on the subject Of direct legislation.
Mr.. Pomeroy said In part:
Direct legislation Is not principle, but
a method Of applying the great principle
which lies at the base of all democratic In
situations. 1t finds Its simplest form IN me
town meetings of New England. where
minority of citizens can file petition for
a certain object with the town council. who
must refer it back to popular vote for final
decision. 1t is simply the people tending
to their own business instead Of having
others tend to 1t for them. You would be
foolish II you would turn over all your af-
fairs to a lawyer for administration, re-
serving for yourself merely the privilege
of kicking and growing at what he may
do And yet this Is just what you are doing
in the representative government system.
II your tailor should make you an ILL
fitting coat you would not accept 1t and
would refuse to pay for Il; but your legis-
lators sometimes bring in fearful insists
and you have to wear them"
The speaker supported hts points with
apt quotations from Washington. Adams,
Jefferson and other great statesmen and
disproved the claim of many that the I'M
tative and referendum is foreign con-
ceit, showing 1t instead TO be essentially |
American. He argued that 1t would re-
duce rather than increase expense and |
would do away with the multiplicity OF
foolish and useless laws which are adopted |!
at all legislative sessions; also that by |
throwing the responsibility directly upon
the people it would reduce the size Of the |
great army of "stay-at-homes' at election. |
MIR. Pomeroy urged the club to work for
the incorporation OF this feature in the
new city charter.
In view of the custom of ratifying the
nominees of conventions on the Saturday
next succeeding the convention, a COM
mittee was appointed to confer with other
clubs of the city for the arrangement of
grand meeting Saturday evening, August
20, to ratify fusion and the nomination of
Mcguire and Hutchinson.
