THE LOS ANGELES SCHEMER ADMITTED
THAT HIS ROAD WAS LOSING
MONEY.

When Sherman wrote again he indi-
Gated very clearly how badly the Los
Angeles electric road was situated an6
how in ninety days it had paid out
$4,000 more than it had taken in. Elk
cerpts from the letter are as follows:
Friday night
My Dear Friend: Boat has agreed
to see you in San Francisco and to get
you to make me come down with coin
and thus save both giving it, Ell?
Really the company has no coin to
give. We have paid out during the
past ninety days fully $4,000 more
than we have taken in. 1t has only
been by the most awful trying that
have been enabled to keep from ask
ing you for money to help me with
1t is very, very hard. 1t takes such
courage. God only knows how L have

" THE ROAD HAS COST US A FEARFUL
PILE OF MONEY"

In his next letter Sherman himself
showed the character of the crazy
scheme into which he had inveigIed the
McDonalds. He outlined the desperate
condition under which the Los Angeles
road had been built and after hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars had been
expended he declared that in some way
and in some time the road would come
out all right. This indefinite promise
must have been poor consolation to the
McDonalds. Excerpts from the letter
are as follows:
L. A, Saturday.
My Dear Friend: Referring to the
road here know that no one has real
lied what we have had to contend
with. Nearly every wheel on all of the
large number Of cars that the rolling
mills furnished US has had to be re-
built. Nearly all of the machinery has
had to be replaced. And the electrical
appliances on the overhead work for
nearly thirty miles of trackage have
had to be put in new. / am not COM
planning; / am only giving you the sit
uation. oh, how much money it takes;
bills, expense, pay out, pay out But
we hope the worst is over We have
been thinking so for a long time. 1t
is no use to quarrel or to blame the
rolling mills. It is done and we have
agreed with them to submit, and hay
ing so agreed we must stand by It,
Ell? But it has cost US a fearful pile
of money. Carload after carload of
wheels and irons and machinery and
electrical apparatus have come In. 1t
would never have done to weaken or to
hesitate, for If the road once stopped

not worry T. v about Los Angeles

itself before the frightened brain OF
Sherman and he wrote as follows:

SHERMAN'S BAREFACED ADMISSION
THAT HIS BONDS WERE USELESS.

"Jayhawker' again thrust his ag-
gressive personality into the affairs of
Sherman, who thought Dick Mcdonald
might have been influenced by Wood

pase Sherman penned long letter
olackguarding Woodland and trying to
convince the McDonalds that he was
till alive to their interests.

Woodland is still Sherman's theme in

purports to- be an alleged demand of
Woodland for $1400. Excerpts from the
letter are as follows:

THE AUDIENCE LIKED 1T.

"The song that touched their hearts,
is as old as the hills, almost. The
leading man in "The Dazzler" combi-
nation, which has just closed sue
cessful engagement, made a big hit
every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-
ing bicycles. The audiences were all
ready to hear good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al
most as much of hit as the Sterl-
ing wheels have always been. Pacific

Petitions were circulated on the
business streets today which request
the Legislature to make "A law eXemp-

The petitions were literally signed.
However. there were some who were
decidedly opposed to any such pro-

on the ground that it would work "A

SOME POINTERS ON THE COMING
RACES.
Six Unknowns in the Three Minute
Class-Match Between Creole and
Our Boy-Cracks to be Entered.

Over thirty horses are in training at
the Kapolani Park stables for the
coming races, and half a dozen more
that will be entered are kept in pri-
vate stables.
There are more horses and better
horses than ever before. The "un-
knowns" are so many that even the
old horsemen will find it Impossible to
pick the winners. q.
Full arrangements for the meeting
have about been completed, but the
entries in the various events will not
be announced until a day or two be-
fore the meeting. The judges appoint
ed are Captain Tripp, Captain Clu-
ME and Theo. II. Hoffman, all men in
whom the horsemen and public alike
have the utmost confidence. OF course
c. b. Wilson will act as starter.
The event of the day will probably
be the 300 minute pacing and trot-
ting race. So far as is known six hor-
ses, all new to patrons of the track
here, will be entered for the race.
! They are Jim Quinn's "Violin" (''2:9O
Girl'o, Decker's grey mare, McCand-
less Irish Lassie." Cunningham's
bay mare, Dave David's grey mare and
an "unknown." None of these horses
have records, but in trial heats some
of them have shown great speed. The
prediction is made that the winner
will have to go the mile in close to
2:20.
Great interest is evinced in the free
for all trotting and pacing race (best
three in five) in which the only prob
able entries will be Creole" who
holds the Island record at 2:20A, but
who has done the mile in 2:15A, and
Our Boy" Billy Cunningham's new
horse, which has a record of 2:12h.
Considerable money will undoubtedly
change hands on this event. Although
Our Boy has the best time record, he
has scarcely been in the country long
enough to be acclimated.
In the 2:30 trot and pace the entries
will probably be such well known hor-
ses as Direstress, Watermelon Joe and
Ralph, and two strangers, one of them
IA black mare recently imported by
Mcdonald
Plenty of sport is promised in the
running events. The three-eights mile
race for Hawaiian bred horses will be
contested by seven or eight hors-
es from Shuman's. Decker's and the
Gay stables They are most of them
new animals, although Magnet may be
started. In the half mile dash Mag
net and Sympathetic Last will surely
be entered, with two new ones from
Decker's stables, and probably some
others. Colonel Cornwell has some
fine animals which he may put in, bur
he is non-committal on the subject at
present. He usually has something up
his sleeve. The same horses will go
into the three-fourths mile dash. The
mile dash will include some of the
same horses and some new comers.
An interesting number on the pro-
gram will be the gentleman's driving
race, the first that has been held here
in years. At least six entries are ex-
pected for the event, and great inter-
est will be taken in it.
If these races are successful meet
ings will be arranged for May 1st,
June nth and July 4th. The gentle
men who have arranged the coming
meeting have already expended on the
track $1,000, raised by popular sub
scription

again the subject of animated debate
in the House this morning. The vote

yesterday was reconsidered on Rep.

Atkinson said he stood for the Govern

would think otherwise, or insist on
the elimination of the monarichal
clause from the oath, was "A Royalst
