NJ i l.
n. W, WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
IL Senator Bard to-day telegraphed
- ex-State Senator John J. Boyce
Of Santa Barbara, asking him if
he would accept the office of United States
Surveyor General for California, to sue
ceed the late General ]. NJ Gleaves. The
query was sent after agreement had been
reached upon Boyce by Senators Perkins
and Bard and after conference with the
President. The California Congressman
were not consulted regarding the selec-
ton.
The tender of the Surveyor Generalship
10 Senator Boyce is believed to have an
important bearing upon the question of
the continuance in Office or removal of
Collector of Internal Revenue Lynch.
President Roosevelt has informed Bard
and Perkins that they must agree upon a
successor to Lynch if he is to be removed
and that If they cannot settle the ques-
ton between them he will ask the advice
Of the California Congressman. The Con-
greSsmen assert that they will not con-
sent TO be called in to settle a draw be-
tween the Senators unless they are to be
consulted in all cases of California ap-
pOintments
The tender of the Surveyor Generalship
TO Senator Boyce was made without con-
Sultation with the CongresSmen the Sena-
tors evidently still feeling able to take
care OF the Federal patronage due to Cali
fornia. If the Congressmen stick bv their
assertions ii will now devolve upon Bard
and Perkins to find a new man upon whom
they can agree as successor to Collector
Lynch.
Senator Perkins approval Of Boyce for
the Surveyor Generalship is regarded as
an attempt to mollify Senator Bard. in
the hope that he will now be willing to
cease his efforts to have Lynch removed.
Boyce was Bard's choice for the Office that
has been offered the former California
State Senator and the acuuiescence of
Senator Perkins is looked upon as a stem
n the direction Of harmony between the
two Senators from the Golden State.

A Chance for Firemen.

The intrepid members of the War
rem Engine Company are out to help
the celebration along in very unique
way. They are ready to send six men
to the front as water fighters They
will get at the end of 200 feet of hose
and let six other men from any fire
company on the coast take another
200 feet of hose and a nozzle, and
with the water supplied from double
hydrant, get in and battle with the
water as weapon for purse, gate re-
ceipts or glory.
The idea is that three men, of each
SIDE, take the nozzle and the other
three take the hose, and both sides
face each other 100 yards from a dead
line. At the word "Go' the rival
squads advance and try to get to the
dead line first and prevent the opposi-
ton from getting there with water
from two inch nozzle under full pres
sure.
AS fast as the man on the nozzle
thinks he has had enough of the pie he
retires and the next man moves up to
his place, while he drops to the rear
for rest until he works his way to the
! front again.
Step by step the squads move up tC
close quarters and it is about the big.
gest display of pure grit that can be
witnessed by grand stand full oil
| bowling and cheering spectators. The
! time is limited to five minutes. When
time is up the wafer is turned Off, and
! the nozzle that drops nearest the line
wins the purse and percentage of the
grand stand receipts. The Warren:
authorized the APPEAL to say thai
they challenge the coast. All fire
jaEies who are in Carson on that day
will have chance to get ia and show
what they can do.
The fight will come off in front of tn,
grand stand and it will be a battl,
royal and no mistake, and one Of til,
greatest novelties ever witnessed il
this city.

THE MIDWAY PLAiSANCE.
Where the Attraction Gives the
Committee Returns.

good many people in Carson are
growing because the Committee on
Publicity aud Promotion closed con-
tract with the Midway and Street Fair
Company for 1920. The Committee
regarded it as good investment for
the reason that the citizens of Carson
could not hope to hold four days
carnival on a Fourth of July celebra-
ton alone. Some extra attraction was
necessary and the Midway was the
most complete affair offered for the
money. The merchants who subscribe
ed so literally were entitled to some
thing to hold the crowd and the out
side visitors had to have something
special to give them proper entertain
ment. Hence the Midway.
Already the following items of ex-
pense have been saved by the Midway
contract:
Salary of Director General $500
Posters 42O
Printing bills assumed by
Midway owners 30
Concessions on the Midway
already let go
Fifteen per cent. gross re-
ceipts (estimated) 2i0
Total $l,245
1t is impossible to run a Street Fair
and Carnival without Il Director Cen
eral aud their salaries range from $500
to $500 for the time occupied in the
work. 1t requires person Of exper
fence. Mr.. Muoser has acted in that
capacity in several cdrnivals in Cali
fornia at "a salary of 800. Ii is impos-
than $500. Under the contract with
the Midway people he is to act dis Di-
rector General OF the attractions free
of charge to the Committee.
The concessions already let for the
vendors Of trnkets, game etc, on the
Midway amount to $3.50, without a do l.
lar of expense to the Committee. The
Committee are also publishing d pro
gram which will be between 10 and 81
pages into which advertising is flowing
in freely. This will yield a good
profit to the Committee although "a
yet it is impossible to estimate it. The
big German Village concession is still
inlet.
Taken all, in all. the Committee vii
land extra attractions in Carson which
will bring and hold a vast crowd o
people, and it proposes to make it more
than pay for itself. The buildings
occupied by the Midway people are al
erected at their own expense under the
contract.
If people who are disposed to find
fault with this or that Committee will
occasionally attend the meetings of thu
Committees, they will learn NOR
about them. The meetings OF tn
Publicity and Promotion Commute
are always open, and the Committe
will be glad to have anyone with sug

mittee. The contracts made by tn

Opposition to the bill continued to be
vigorously expressed, Mr.. Teller making
an extended speech in criticism of the

Republican side to the report, based on
the alleged freedom with which the con-
ferees had taken in introducing new pro-
