bouts during the month. The meeting be-
tween Bob Thompson and Billy Lawler
will take place on the 14th As prelim-
mary to this event, Billy De Coursey and
kid" Chambers will go on for a ten-round
bout These men fought before the club
some time ago and put up as lively scrap
as had been witnessed for many a day.
The men will fight for $1O0 purse. Sec
retary Pitner has received telegram from
Lawler in which the latter states that he
left San Francisco for this city last night
and will begin training at once.
On the 21st Billy Gallagher and w. Trim
BILE will meet in a fifteen-round go and
next month Joe Cotton and Jack Stelzner,
the heavyweights, will be brought togeth-
er. This fight would have been pulled off
before had not Stelzner been defeated a
short time ago by Kennedy, so the club
did not think he would prove so strong
drawing card with the membrance of
his defeat fresh in the mil nds of the pubic.
The club will offer purse for kid" Park
er ard Bob Thompson after the Stelzner-
Cotton fight. Parke was defeated by
Thompson, but made such a plucky fight
that the club is desirous of giving him an
other chance. John Brink or Jim Jeffries
will be asked to referee the Thomps on
Lawler fight.

PLANS FOR THE BRIDGES
City Engineer Will Have Them Com
pleted in Two Weeks

City Engineer Dockweiler and his depart
ment force are making haste with their
work on the plans and specifications of the
bridges and tunnels to be constructed with
the money realized from the recent bo d
sale. The $4,000 to be disposed of for
bridge purposes provides for the erection
OF four bridges, one across the Los Angeles
river on what is known as the Los Feliz
road, one across the river at Ninth street,
another over the Arroyo Seco at Wells
street or what Is now known as Avenue 26,
and the last across Hollenbeck park lake
at Sixth street. The latter will cost about
$4,000, and the remaining $4,000 will be di-
vided about proportionately to pay for the
other three. While the Hollenbeck park
bridge is the most expensive. the one across
the Los Feliz road above the San Fernando
bridge is probably the most important.
The tunnel plans and specifications are
also rapidly approaching completion, and
bids for the work will be advertised for i'm
mediately after they are finished.

The Largest Hat and Furnishing
Goods Store In Los Angeles.
HAT Talk

A good many men make up their
minds about what they want to pay
for hat and then 60 and buy one to
fit their price. Other men make up
their minds about what style of hat
they want to wear, and they 60 and
get hat to fit their minds. Other
men make up their minds at what
store they are going to buy their hats,
and they 60 by half dozen stores to
60 buy of that particular one. We
make practice of trying to fit
mans price, mind and head. If you
have got any particular store to trade
in and it isn't this store, it must be be-
cause you don't know what this store
will do for you. Our very finest hats
are 50, and nobody sells better one
for IS. We sell good hats at 81. so,
$500, $3.50, Si.25 and $500. If
they don't wear as they should, you
get new hat free.

SOAP AND OIL TALK
WILL BE PLENTIFUL BEFORE
COMMITTEES TODAY
LOOKED OVER THE GROUND
Yesterday but Saw Nothing That
Tended to Change Their Opinions.
Engine House Matter

Joint committee meetings will be the or
der of the day at the city hall today. Three
different matters will come up for consid-
GRAFTON before separate commissions, and
the parties interested are all to be present.
and will probably talk to their hearts con-
tent.
Tho first controversy to receive attention
will probably be the petition of certain oil
operators for the amendment OF the oil
limit ordinance. The petition came up be-
fore the council on Monday last. the Sec
ond one of its character, and on the repre-
sentation of the petitioners that on the oc-
casion of the introduction of their first pc
tition they were unjustly cut off without
q hearing, the matter was referred to the
board of public works and the oil inspector,
and a hearing was set for this morning.
The petitioners seek to have the ordi-
nance so amended as to permit drilling for
ofl in certain portions of the territory with
In the proh!bitive limit, but draining away
from the park. They propose that the limit
boundaries shall include strictly the terri
tory which drains toward the park. and
contend that otherwise the ordinance Is
not legal AS the proposition practically
involves the whole controversy between
the oil operators and the residents of the
Westlake district, 1t is probable that both
sides will come before the committee load
ed for bear.
| Councilmen Toll, Mathuss and Ashman
| and City Engineer Dockweler and Assist
ant King drove over the Knob Hill tract
yesterday for the purpose Of viewing the
disputed territory. They were accompa-
MED by Mr.. Stewart, one of the operators,
who explained the situation and argued in
behalf of the claim that the ordinance is
an unjust one. On the return one Of the
councilmen stated that he had neither
heard nor seen anything that would tend
to change his opinion in the matter.
The soap factory question will also come
up before the board of public works, in
conjunction with the health officer and
the building superintendent. The matter
for consideration will be the acceptance
of the construction plans of the new fac
tory building. and whether or not odor-
consuming apparatus Is provided for there
In. AS in the oil matter, this hearing will
also involve the entire contention between
the soap company and the complainants.
who denounce the factory as a nuisance,
and oil hands will undoubtedly be prepared
to produce everything possible to obtain
in support of their respective positions.
The location of engine houses and the dis
tricts from which the sites are to be chosen
win be discussed by joint commission,
composed Of the city councils fire and
water committee and a committee of the
fire commissioners. AS the matter has
practically been agreed upon beforehand,
no controversy is anticipated.

HE WANTED SATISFACTION
So He Took the Law Into His Ow,
Hands

j. p. Goytino was tried by Justice Nor
rison yesterday on the charge of having
committed battery upon Pierre Ganee the
editor of L'Union Nouvelle, hut claimed in
extenuation that Ganee had deliberately
prosecuted and misrepresented him in
LUnion NOuvelle. Ganee was recently
convicted and fined for having criminally
libeled Goytino. Ganee agreed with JUS
tice Morrison to bury the hatchet and not
say anything more detrimental to Coy
tino.
Ganee published an alleged translation
however from an American paper, which
pretended to give report Of his trial
This alleged translation was incorrect, and
misrepresented Goytino. and If possible
reiterated the original libel Goytino tried
to secure second complaint against
Ganee, but Deputy District Attorney Will
liams refused it, but suggested to Goytino
that, being man. he ought to know how to
act in the matter. Goyt;no was also ad-
vised by another acquaintance to admins
ter spanking to Ganee. Instead of doing
the latter, Goytino pummeled Canoes
face in brutal style. Justice Morrison took
the case under advisement until tomorrow

NO COIN FORTHCOMING
FIRE FIGHTERS DUE BILLS CAN
NOT BE DISCOUNTED
AGENT NEWHALL BLAMED
San Gabriel Valley Bank Shuts Down
on the Cash Supply-Complaint
Of Four Employees

Forestry Superintendent c. S. N ewhall of
Redlands, whose business is to take care
of the mountain forests between San Ja-
cinto and Acton, is either very careless In
his business dealings, or else unfortunate
to an extreme. From the breaking out OF
the fires last August there have been nu-
merous complaints against Newhall and his
assistants concerning the manner in which
the fire-fighting campaign was conducted.
The men said that time was lost in getting
at the fire, misjudgment used in the selec-
ton and detailing of squads, false moves
made, etc.; in short, that much valuable
timber and many acres of watershed might
have been saved had a competent general
conducted the defense.
Now the complaint is from four young
fire-fighters viz, w. l.. Stephenson, w. H.
Stevenson, Clyde Barnhart and Lou New
comb, and their complaint Is sustained by
the San Gabriel Valley bank of Pasadena,
whose cashier, George H. Post. yesterday
refused to honor United States due bills
indorsed by Newhall to the amount Of some
$500. The banks refusal was straight out
and out upon the ground that 1t had be-
come tired Of so much red tape and OF
Newalrs failure to keep his agreement
About the middle of August, when the
first instailment of fire-flghters applied for
compensation, the bank by way of accom-
InOda tiOn simply, hOnOred the due DlllS anu
paid the men, Newhall assuring the bank
that within thirty days he would see that
the government replaced the outlay. About
$500 worth of these due bills were thus hon.
ored, and though nearly twice the length

hart went to the fire on the 1st day of Sep
tember, Barnhart being chosen as an ex-
perienced mountaineer to lead the squad.
The men were to work twenty-five hours
out of every twenty-four, and were to re-
ceive 1917 cents per hour. On the 7th of
September ten more men were sent up, and
on the 11th w. L. Stephenson went up.
The ten men went back to Pasadena on the
18th, leaving Stephenson, Stevenson, New
comb and Barnhart until the 26th. For
est Ranger w. L. Thomas made out the
time statements of these ten men, and
they signed vouchers, which were sent to
the forestry headquarters. They got their
money on the 9th, and they have no COM
plants to make
The other four men were left in the
mountains to do patrol duty, and returned
on the 26th. Their vouchers were made
out by Thomas, ard they received, on Oc-
tober 5th the due bill whose numerous
dates are uninterpretable to the uniniti-
ated, and which the bank declined to hon
or. The four creditors do not blame the
government, nor Thomas nor the bank.
They say that Newhall, in their opinion, is
lax in his methods. But they want their
money and want it bad" and propose to
find some means of getting 1t.
