DULL DAY ON
STOCK MARKET
SPIRIT OF CAUTION DEVELOPED
BECAUSE OF IMMINENT
BREACH IN PEACE CONFER
ENcE AT PORTSMOUTH,

New York. Aug 19.-The decided
dullness of today's stock market was
evidence of the spirit of caution deyel-
oped in the minds of operators by the
reactionary tendency developed yes
terday. Hardening OF rates for mon
ey seems now imminent by reason of
the inception OF movement OF cur
rancy on a large, scale to the interior.
The rise in rates for call money even
without reaching the proportions of a
stringent market had an almos, inevi-
table effect on borrowing for specu-
latiye purposes.
Holders of stocks on margin at the
present high level of prices are natur-
ally solicitous, therefore. of the deyel-
opments of the immediate future. The
bank statement reflected only a small
part of the expected decrease in cash
reserves, but the weeks activity in
tn stock market resulted in some ex-
pansion of the loan account that the
increase in the deposit item increased
}the reserve requirement in proportion
The net result was shrinkag Of
about $3,500,00d in the surplus of the
banks
The news from Portsmouth opened
up possibility of some important
development in peace negotiations
lduring the Sunday interval and great
doubt as to what its nature might be
added to the cautious disposition OF
| the operators in the market.
The small declines of the first hour
were recovered after the appearance
of the bank statement, the small de-
crease in bank reserves compard with
anticipation prompting the covering OF
short contracts. The closing was
| firm.

BOND ELECTION
OBSTRUCTION TACTICS ARE
FRUITLESS
PUBLIC GENERALLY PLEASED
City Council Expected to Adopt ordl-
nance and Proclamation of Sub
mission to Voters at Meet
Ing Tomorrow
PUBLIC GENERALLY PLEASED

Business men throughout the city
are expressing the greatest satisfac-
ton over the action of the city coun-
ell in setting an early date for the
water bond election.
Throughout the city the titanic
scheme to bring into Los Angeles the
waters from the melting SHOWS of the
Sierras in the Owens river valley, 240
miles to Los Angeles, is the one great
topic of discussion and conversation.
Wherever business men gather the
proposition is praised. why, the city
must have that water" Lets get it
and get it quick, a moments delay is
dangerous, for New York capital is
waiting anxiously to gobble up the
whole proposition, bring the water here
and make us pay double prices for It."
1.-THE council has acted wisely in select
ing an early date for the election, as
the question is of vital Importance to
the city" 1.-THE local colored supple
ment Of Willie Hearsts 'yellies' may
howl as 1t, does at any progressive
movement, but 1t had as well try to
turn back the tide with a broom"
These are some of the statements
made by business men when discussing
the question in their offices, on the
street and In the city hall.
The character OF the men who have
Investigated this question their stand
ing financially, politically and as wa
ter experts. for among them were men
of the highest standing in all three
walks Of life, precludes all suspicion
from the minds Of the people of the
city.
"These men know their business, they
have investigated thoroughly and are
satisfied, more than satisfied. that at
last the water problem, which has been
hanging like black cloud over the fu-
ture growth Of Los Angeles, has been
solved and that is enough for me"
declared business man yesterday who
is also heavy taxpayer,
The date Of the election has been set
for September by resolution of the
council despite the efforts of the OBJ
structionist" from the Sixth ward to
defeat the proposition. The council will
adopt the election ordinance and proc
lamation on Monday.
Even should the 'obstructlonist" try
to defeat this by refusing to turn in
his list Of election judges he cannot
delay the measure, as the charter pro-
vides that in such case the city may
make UP its own election board from
previous ones

NEW YORK, Aug H-Polltics in
the metropolis always may be likened
aptly to three-ring circus and there
never is any shortage in the number Of
persons willing to play clown parts
This year harlequlns are appearing
early in the municipal fight.
Already William Travers Jerome,
our sensational district attorney, has
donned the motley and bells and is
pirouetting about before his amused
audience. In many respects, however,
Jerome differs from the modern clown,
who, at least, remains mute. Jerome
says he wants another four years in
the district attorneys Office and he Is
willing to take the nomination on any
old ticket, even if It be an independent
ticket placed in the field by petition.
He hands out daily interviews with
himself, telling what a fine official he
has been and what wonderful record
he has made and then he ladies' out
abuse alike to Democrats and Repub-
licans, and winds up by calling atten-
ton to himself as fearless, independ-
ent and the ideal man of integrity for
whom Diogenes of old so long sought.
The Jerome speeches all are on the
the west when, at dinner at which
Thomas W. Lawson Of Boston and Je-
rome jointly were the guests of hon
or, the New York district attorney
went out of his path to insult the Bos-
ton man.
With Jerome playing a lone hand in
the campaign, it promises to be most
interesting. For the district attorney Is
a man who delights In sensational
situations. He would be a wonder as
a theatrical manager AS an independ-
ent candidate, however, he may hardly
command votes enough to be a factor
on election day, especially as there may
be straight republican candidate in
the field as well as the Tammany nomi-
nee.
How would you like to have payroll
of more than $4,000 names and calling
for upward of $5,OOO,0OO each month?
That is exactly what the city of New
York has. according to the published
list of the city employees just issued.
Twice year this list comes out, giving
the name of every man in the city's

ceives, together with any increase or
deductions made within the six months
covered. 1t is the record to July
which has just been published.

After searching all Friday night and

him on the charge of running away

Mrs. Leach, the girls mother, says
that she has letters from Baker to her

run away with him. Mrs. Leach called
at the police station to report that her
daughter was at her former husbands
home.
"The girls father, T. Mathews of
Twenty-1rst and Albion streets is as
much to blame as Baker" said Mrs.

COACHES STUDY
FOOTBALL RULES
NO RADICAL CHANGES MADE
THIS SEASON
FIELD is CHECKER BOARD
This Arrangement VIII Give Quarter
back More Latitude-Referee
Must Whistle When Ball
ls Stopped

The new football rules have been
published in book form and Southern
California coaches have set themselves
down to study the few changes that
have been made. 1t is with sigh Of
relief that most Of them notice that
these changes are few and unimpor-
tant, for many Of them were held in
nervous suspense during the summer
months for fear Walter Camps radical
changes of distance to gain and other
features, would be carried out.
Coach Walter Hemple of Pomona
was about the only football authority
in Southern California who was any
where near in sympathy with Camp
In his efforts to have the five yards in
three downs doubled and even he did
not go so far, but stated that he would
be fully contented with seven yards.
OF the changes that have been made
probably the first thing that catches
the eve is the new field marked check
er board fashion instead of in parallel
lines, as formerly was the case. This
is done with a view of permitting the
quarterback to run with the ball from
almost any spot in the field. provided
he runs five yards out from center.
Last year the quarterback was limited
in his runs from center to the space
within the twenty-hve-yard line. This
is one concession to the demands for
a more open game.
Referee Must Whistle
Another which also might be consid-
cred as bearing on the open tactics Is
a, ruling requiring referee to blow his
whistle the moment the ball is stopped.
This is to stop the fighting for the ball
on the ground, and with this scrim-
maging stopped there will be fewer
broken ribs and collar bones. The rule
says the whistle must be sounded the
moment the forward progress of the
ball is stopped and refers, 1t is be-
lieved, to the close-in scrimmage work
rather than open field running, where
a sprinter might be turned back in
lodging.
Rule six is accented. 1t refers to
the starting of. men Intentionally to
draw the opposing team off-side or into
a falsely directed break. If the snap
perback or center makes any motion
as If to snap the ball it is in play from
that moment. This is an old rule.
Under the new order If any player on
the side with the ball makes a false
start with view of drawing the other,
side off their balance the ball, IL
snapped, is ordered back and regarded
as, not being in play
Subs Must Report
One rule which referees will appre-
slate makes it necessary for all sub
stitutes to report to that official before
entering the game.
No player Is permitted to be out of
bounds when the ball Is being put in
play with the single exception of a
man holding a place kick This rules
on a point which came up once in an
Iowa Chicago game. when Knipe, taxi
ing advantage of an indefinite SEN
tence, lined his men up exactly as If
they were out in the open, with half
the line inside the border and the other
half outside.
Coaching from the sidelines is pun
ished by ten-yard penaltys
