WHO FIXED THE
MAYORS STAMP?
SIGNATURE TO $36,4O0 CITY
WARRANT IN DOUBT
Voting Machine Company Cannot Col
leet Money Unless Council Turns
Funds over for the White
Elephant Apparatus

Because Mayor McAleer's stamped
signature is on the warrant for sS6,4O
to pay the United States Voting Ma
chine company for the III machines
purchased by the city, Treasurer Will
liam II. Workman has refused to honor
1t.
The mayor has written the treasurer
asking him not to pay the bill, and
since then he has expressed himself to
the effect that the rbbber stamp was
inadvertently affixed to the document.
When several days ago Treasurer
Workman called the executives atten-
ton to the stamped signature Mayor
McAleer professed much astonishment.
He said he had not stamped his name.
When the question was brought UP
again yesterday the mayor said he
would prepare a statement on the sub
ject, then left the city hall.
The mystery is who used the stamp.
The hand machine Is always left In
the mayors office and whoever applied
it had access to the mayors rooms.
Who Did It?
Treasurer Workman says he is satis-
fed that neither the mayor nor his sec
retary, Charles McKeag. stamped the
warrant Mr.. McKeag has been at
home several days. reporting sick
In the past the city attorney has ruled
that demands signed by stamped sigma
lures are not legal, and it has been the
custom of the treasurers office to hon
or such demands only when the
amounts are known to be correct and
are small.
1t is now up to the council
The Voting Machine company cannot
get the warrant cashed unless the law
making body approves of payment.
This bill was contracted last year, and
if the demand had gone through would
have been paid out of the following
years revenue. This is violation of
the constitution. which seeks to make
the city live within it's income.
The council attempts to get around
this by claiming that the contract was
made with the understanding that the
bill should fall due and be paid out of
next years income.

DRESS FOR OPERA AT BANK

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-For the bene-
fit of its patronesses, among whom are
included many of the most prominent
women in New York society," the day
and night bank has perfected arrange
nents that will make it's safe deposit
vaults an important adjunct of the local
opera season which comedies with the
reopening Of social activities
Spacious retiring rooms have been in
stalled by the side of the vault cham
bers where the women may array them
selves in their jewels, and where. after
they have worn them, they may replace
them in safety without the risk of
secreting the valuables in their vaults.
Nor is another feature of the new
financial institution of lesser impor-
tance, which has to do with the estab-
lishment of an entirely separate bank
ing department for women. To the rear
of the present offices in Forty-fourth
street a complete equipment Is being
put into position which will be given
over exclusively to the use of women.
1t is believed that the new system
with its relief from the danger of rob-
berries will go far toward making the
wearing of jewels, particularly the more
costly sets, usually left in the vaults
except on state occasions, commoner
than it has heretofore been.

USES BOOT ON
STEP-FATHER
Tires of Providing for Relative Whom
He Asserts Refuses to Work
and Kicks Him Out of
the House

Everybody works but father" was
the favorite song of Louis Moliner, 425
Ord street He believed in the lyric
literally, and undertook to make a prac-
tical example of it's theme, says his
stepson, who asserts he has been the
main support and proVider of his
mother and the old man.
According to the tale told by the step
son. Moliner had married his mother
with the intention of seeking rest, and
he made the best of his opportunity.
Finally the stepson grew weary of his
job of family proviler and kicked his
stepfather out of the house. That was
several days ago.
About o'clock Friday night Moliner
returned to his former home, says the
complaining stepson, and announced
his intention of remaining wherever his
wife was, in true husbandly devotion.
The stepson, however tried to per-
suade Moliner that it would be healthier
to remain outside. In the end of the
argument he says he was compelled to
conduct his stepfather outside by a
well-almed boot.
The complainant further alleges that
Moliner went TO the barn for reinforce
ments and returned to the rear door OF
the house with pick. He battered
down the door, and made circuit OF
the house, smashing windows and
everything that appeared to be de-
structable, in all demolishing two VIM
dows and door.

HILL ADVOCATES RECIPROCITY
His Address Before Chicago Merchants
Helps Canadian Relations
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10-The movement
to bring about reciprocal tariff ar
rangements with Canada was given
new impetus through an address by j.
J. Hill president of the Great Northern
Railroad company, tonight before the
Merchants club on Canada and Re-
ciprocity."
The sudden spectacular development
of the far northwest, the flow of emil
grafton thence from the United States,
and the promised cultivation of vast
sections of hitherto wild prairie land
into rich wheat and corn acreage are
said to have inspired the latest crusade
for closer and more satisfactory tariff
relations with the dominion.
While looking at the subject las a
railroad man, Mr.. Hill is reported to
have given the Canadian tariff question
such close and intelligent study that
he brought out many new and impor-
tant points in his address.
Farmers and manufacturers are said
to have been converted to the idea that
proper reciprocal trade agreements
would rebound to the prosperity of the
people of both Canada and the United
States.

SQUAT ON KATY RIGHT OF WAY
Thousands of Kansas Acres Returned
to Railroad
by Associated Press.

by Associated PreSS.
Topeka, I<as., Nov. 1O.-Thousands
Of acres of the most valuable farm
land in Kansas, together with large
amount of land located in towns and
cities of the state, is given to the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
by a decision of the Kansas supreme
court today in the case of that railway
against Watson.
In July. 1866, congress granted to
the Union Pacific Railway companys
southern branch, now the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway company, a
right of way 200 feet wide from Fort
Riley to the south line of the state.
Afterward patents were issued to pri-
Vate persons for land through which
the railroad runs, without excepting
the right of way.
These persons have treated the right
of way as being only 100 feet wide, and
in some cases valuable improvements
have been erected on the outer fifty
feet on each side, which have been oc-
cupied and used without disturbance
for many years.
The railroad company brought suit
to oust these occupants and the court
decided i'm its favor.
The land affected by the decision lies

RIPLEYS SPECIAL EN- ROUTE
Santa Fe's President Bound for San
Diego, Then Here

The special train carrying e. P.
Ripley, president; j. w. Kendrick,
vice president, and other officials of
the Santa Fe railroad company west on
their annual trip of inspection of the
lines, passed through San Bernardino
on it's way to San Diego.
The party, with whom are A. G..
Wells, gel eral manager. and j. J.
Byrne, assistant passenger traffic
manager of the Santa Fe's Los Ange-
les headquarters, are expected in
either Monday night or Tuesday morn
ing.
President Ripley has extensive plans
for the betterment of the system in
California and only the inability of
the mills and shops and foundries of
the east to supply equipment prevents
their immediate consummation.
Much of the mountain right of way
of the Santa Fe will be rerailed and
after that more spur and branch lines
will be built into the mining districts.

CAPTAIN MORRIS PAYS HIS
ELECTION BET
Boyle Heights Goes Dry, So Big Fellow
Vets His Whistle and Tackles
Stunt with Irishman's
Buggy

In payment of bet made on the re-
cent county election, in which e. w
Garwood a paper hanger of Boyle
Heights bet in favor of Prohibition,
while Captain J. M. Morris of the Nor
ris Real Estate company took the wet
side of the bet, Morris last night in
the presence of several hundred resi-
dents of the neighborhood of First and
Indiana streets, wheeled Garwood for
more than a mile in wheelbarrow.
The settlement of the bet was one
of the big events of the season in the
suburb and bonfires were lit on every
corner, while the residents of the neigh
borhood, bearing torches, fell in line,
shouting and cheering as the portly
captain wheeled his youthful com
panion through the dust and oil of the
East First street hill.
For some time the excitement in the
has been intense over
