WOULD FORCE JUDGES HAND
RuIed-out Question to Witness Leads
to Writ of Mandate AppIi-
cation

Jacques Tisnerat, q Pomona liquor
dealer recently arrested and convicted
by a jury in the recorders court at
Pomona, applied to the superior court
yesterday for a writ of mandate di-
recting Judge John II. Lee of the Po-
mona recorders court to incorporate
in his records certain rulings to which
exceptions were taken by defendants
counsel.
1t is alleged that the recorder has re-
fused TO insert proceedings in which a
question was asked of a witness for the
prosecution, how much he would re-
ceive for his testimony in case the de-
PENDANT was convicted.
This question was objected to and ex-
ceptions taken by counsel for Tisnerat,
who wishes all proceedings to be incor-
porated in the bill of exceptions to be
taken to the superior court.
The writ was issued returnable before
Judge Smith, Monday.

NEWEST LONDON STREET

Kingsway, London's latest street, is,
from an engineering point of view, even
more interesting for what it fore
shadows than for what has been aC-
compliShed in its construction. 1t is
typical of what the streets of he future
will be in all large centers of popula-
ton. Certain of it's features, such as
the sewer and power tunnels and the
tram subway. have already been adopt
ed singly in Paris, New York and else
where, but, as a whole, no other street
like it yet exists, although Chicago is
considering a similar but much more
expensive scheme TO cost twenty mil
lions in our money.
There is nearly as much of Kings
way below as above ground. Its entire
width of 100 feet is hollow, but the
space underneath the footpaths upon
either side is allotted to the adjacent
buildings for cellars. Next these cell
lars, also upon both sides. are arched
subways for the accommodation of the
numerous pipes and cable lines essen
tial to the supply of water, power and
communication throughout great city.
The central space-about half of the
whole Widths occupied by the tram
subway, which dives underground at
the Holborn end Of the Kingsway, end
ing for the present at Aldwych at its
other extremity. 1t Is in contempla-
ton, however, to carry it onward to
the Thames and thence across the river
TO link with the South London tram
way system. 1t is notable that in this
newest street the sewers are placed at
the lowest possible level of all, beneath
the side subways, through which access
will be gained to them without disturb
ing any Of the traffic-carrying sur
faCPs

The Republican machine Of Califor-
MIA is stuck in the mud. Its wheels
are still buzzing around at a furious
rate and the chug-chug is yet start
lingiy distinct, but the organization
wagon itself is standing stock still, I'M
able to move and undetermined as to
les destination.
A grand roundup OF tho Republican
league Of clubs is advertised to be
pulled off in May and in anticipation
Of that event the great machine Is try
ing to get out Of its distress. It's agents
arc scurryirg hither and tlither in
search Of gasoline or any other oil that
will start the thing off properly. Col.
Knight. the star-eyed and silver
voiced, is beseged with appeals to run
for governor, but the colonel serene
in the possession Of a splendid ranch
and a fortune, pushes the glittering
crown away from him and announces
that he will ride around in his own
auto. Besides. he evidently doesn't
think this a good Republican year.
The southern end of the machine is
singing siren songs to Henry n. Gage,
former governor, who is reported TO be
willing-provided the call be made loud
and strong and nearly unanimous.
The governor is tough old fighter and
enjoys a scrap He scents the tusslc
from afar and isn't afraid TO he beaten
If only he can get a fair fight
But there is trouble all around. Abe
Ruef is coquetting with J. O. Hayes
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor and Hayes wants the nomination.
This is the public side of Ruef. Pri-
vately he has attached +. II. McCar-
thy to Mayor Schmitz and is organic
ing a Union Labor party for the nom
ination Of Schmita for governor. If
Ruef cannot get Hayes in the Republi
can convention he expects to get
Schnitz in the Union Labor conven-
ton.
Meanwhile the alleged Municipal
Ownership party-hatched at Bakers
field under the auspices, it is said, of
the Kern County Land company, which
owns nearly all the public and private
utilities In Kern county-has called
convention at Fresno, where Mccarthy
and Schmitz will endeavor to take pos
session Of it. Here, however, there will
be smart collision with the Socialist
party, whose aggressive members in
sist upon a straight Socialist ticket and
who are fighting the organization of
both the Union Labor and the Munich
pal Ownership parties. What will come
out of this mix-up nobody seems to
know; but these warning elements are
united upon a single proposition--death
to the Republican machine!
Democrats are watching the many
cornered contest with great interest,
believing that with such a man as Dis
trict Attorney Seymour as the nominee
for governor the Democratic party may
sweep the state.

CANADA FETES HER ATHLETE
Winner of Marathon Race at Attn

Billy" Sherrins Gets Thousands Of
Dollars a House and
Government Job.

Toronto. Canada. William T., other
wise, Billy sherring, winner Of the
Marathon road race ait Athens, Greece,
during the Olympian games, arrived
here, and is now luxuriating in the re-
wards of victory Glory and wealth
are his, for his. enthusiastic country
men, not content with mere physical
appreciation Of his splendid achieve
ment, have gone into their pockets
and produced money for him. The
matter-of-fact theory is that one can't
eat glory, and an athlete must eat. and
from present indica tions, the wolf will
not soon invade Sherring's hearthstone
This is how the former Grand Trunk
Railway brakeman, at $50 month. is
reaping the good things:
First off he was notified that the
City Council Of. Hamilton had voted
$500 to him. Then came the news that
the Ontario Government had set aside
another $500 for him. Next the citi-
zens of Hamilton, through a deIega-
ton of admirers, presented him with
purse of $4,000, while another dele
CATION, representing the citizens of
Toronto, handed to him purse Of $3.50.
The Toronto Baseball Club, in appre-
citation of such a true exemplar of
sport, presented a purse of S400.
In order that Billy, might have a
roof-tree Of his own. some personal
friends and admirers bought fine
house and lot in Hamilton, the deed
of which they presented to him. To
top it all. the Dominion Government,
benignant in the reflected glory of her
plucky son, has appointed the racer to
an inspectorship--a sinecure in which
certain Government property is investi-
gated and which will require only
part of his time-at a salary of about
$3.50 a year, which means a great deal
in country where a dollar goes twice
as far as it does IN the United States.

was to determine the cause and dis
cover remedies for several obscure and
somewhat rare difficulties which had
been encountered in some of the 1904

overcome before 1t would be safe to

The experiments were made in a
swampy meadow about eight miles
east of Dayton, o., and continued from
June until the early days of October,
when the impossibility Of longer main

continuance.
