STREET NOMENCLATURE
Board of Public Works Discusses the
Remaining of Thoroughfares

Another change in the name of Cameo
street was yesterday recommended by the
board of public works, at the earnest re-
quest of property owners on the street.
Cameo street, which was formerly South
avenue, was changed to the former name
only few weeks ago, in answer to petit
tion which was alleged to have been signed
by the majority OF property owners ON the
|thoroughfare. This seems to have been a
mistake, as petition with a much larger
property representation, asking that the
street be allowed to resume its former
name, was presented yesterday
The matter Of changing the name of Hope
street TO Ashland avenue was not officially
passed by the board, but it is understood
that the petition will be sent to the council
without the boards approval. One member
of the board and another councilman pres
ent said they would vote against the change,
as they did not believe in destroying the old
landmarks of the city. Councilman Baker
of police officer in finding certain streets
in his own ward. This statement caused
some merriment at Mr.. Bakers expense,
as the board refused to take it as anything
but confession of his inability, ut times,
to navigate.
The beauty of the handsome sycamore
tree that stands in the middle of Avenue
Thirty-seven is not considered, by the, ma
jority of property owners on the street,
sufficient to offstand the inconvenience
caused by its presence, and they asked the
board yesterday to recommend that it be
removed As the petitioners are the most
interested parties the board gave its ap-
proval

WANT PAVEMENT ACCEPTED
Spring Street Property Holders Before
Board of Public Works

The request of the Spring street property
owners, asking the city council to accept
by ordinance the surface work on that
street recently completed, was taken under
advisement by the board of public works
yesterday. The object of the request is to
prevent in future the necessity of property
owners being forced to resurface the street
Some years ago the street was surfaced and
the property owners paid the bill. The
work was approved, but never accepted by
the council. 1t was accepted by the prop
erty owners. When the street was paved
again this year, owing to the fact that the
council had never accepted the work, the
property owners were compelled to pay for
the job.
Attorneys Jones and Mcfarland appeared
before the board yesterday and argued in
favor of the acceptance of the work by the
city. These gentlemen said that it was not
right for the owners to go to this great ex-
pense every six or seven years, when the
street was not used by them alone, but by
all the people. The board did not pass on
the question, but took it under advisement
Yesterday afternoon the South Main
street, between Ninth and First streets
property owners filed with the city clerk a
similar petition, asking the council to accept
the surface work on Main street.

ON THE GRIDIRON
Pomona College and High School Meet
TODAY

Lovers of football will do well to attend
the game between the teams of Pomona col
lege and the high school at Athletic park
this afternoon. The game will be called
at 1:3O, as the bicycle races will follow.
Both elevens are in fine trim and will put
up a game that will delight the heart of the
pigsl1in crank. The Pomona boys should
win, as they outweigh the high school team
fifteen pounds to the man, but the latter
team has splendid backs and plays snappy
team game, full of ginger, that will do much
to make up for lack of weight
On the high school team Smelling at CEN
ter is new man, but passes the ball well
and plays cool, steady game. Janss and
Van Norman, guards, were members of last
years team and are hard, aggressive play
ers, who get in every play. Macaven, at
right tackle, is veteran of three seasons
and is tho best man on the' line He, is
strength on the defense. Wixon, the other
tackle, is light, but determined gritty
player. Klokke and Stearns on the ends,
are both good men, being hard, sure tack
lers, fast at getting down the field and
running well with the ball.
AT quarter, Neuhart plays good game,
passes the ball well, interferes strongly and
is hard, sure tacklcr. Captain Munday,
left half, displays good field generalship in
hahsllhg MS team and can always be relied
on tor good gain around the end. He also
bucks the line well and is a strong, de-
fensivee player. The right half, Bosbyshell
played that position on the academy team
last year, and is playing a splendid game
this season. He never fails to gain. when
given the ball.
Wynn at full is the "star" back of the
eleven He punts well, is strong in inter.
ference, last runner and hits the line with
irresistible force. He is a splendid goal
kicker. The average stripped weight cf
the team is l44 pounds.
With the exception of Captain Wharton
at left end the men in Pomona's rush line
are new at the game, but have showed m
well in the games played so far this sea-
son. Cooper, the center, is strong PLAYER
and fills his place well. King and Stro-
bridge are sturdy supports to the center
and are active, aggressive men on both Of
ense and defense. Maxson and McComas
who will play the tackler, are good ground
gamers with the ball and can stop bucl,
with neatness and dispatch. Campbell Is
playing gritty game at right end.
Captain Wharton, at left end, is an old
timer and plays a brilliant game. He is
last in getting under kicks. a sure tackler
md carries the spheroid for good gains.

Suggestions as to Mrs. Gross

SANTA ANA, Nov 4.-John Hancock,
the accused murderer of DR.. Engelke and
y Peter Edlnsten on the desert in Southern
Nevada a year ago last April, was brought
over to the county Jail last night, where he
will be kept until the Nevada authorities
can be communicated with and more thor
ough investigation made OF the alleged
crime. >,
Hancock was met at the train by his
brothers, Walter M. and Thomas II. Han
cock, who accompanied him to the jail They
seem to feel keenly the disgrace brought
upon them by the accusations against their
brother, but state that they bell we him inf
nocent and the whole story TO be the result
of Mrs. Gross spite against their brother.
Mrs. Gross, formerly Meyers, and Han
cock, the accused man, lived together as
man and wife for a number OF years, and
only few days ago quarreled and separated,
after which she married this man Gross.
The Hancock brothers claim Mrs. Gross to
be an adventures, and they. hint at future
developments in the case which will show
her in another light.
The accused man refuses to make any
statement whatever concerning the alleged
crime, upon the advice OF his brothers, who
watch him closely, but talks readily upon
commonplace subjects. Most OF his time,
however, is spent in rolling and smoking
cigarettes. He has a hard face, with keen
eye and light brown mustache and brown
hair, is tall and rather stout, and walks de-
cdedly lame from the effects of a gunshot
wound in his leg received a few months ago.
lie will be taken to Fullerton tomorrow,
to be arraigned on charge of assault to kill,
which charge he says is trumped up by Mrs.
Gross and her husband. He believes he will
be exonerated from this charge, and seems
perfectly unconcerned as to the results of
the more serious charge which is preferred
against him.
Hancock served one term in San Quentin
in 1890 for burglary, and has since served
short sentences in Jail for minor offenses. He
has not yet engaged the services of an attor-
ney and seems disposed to await the result

The Workmen Protected

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald:
There has been considerable criticism on
the streets on my injunction suit to re-
strain the county from paying for printing
copies of the supplemental register, where
the work was not done either according to
contract or according to law, because it
would jeopardize the wages of the men,
women and children who labored on the
work. But such is not the case. The bond
for $4,000 guaranteed by the Fidelity and
Deposit company of Maryland is drawn in
accordance with the act of the last legisla,
ture (statutes 1897, 2OD, providing for
securing pay for material, men and laborers
on all public work. This bond is holden for
the payment to laborers and material men
