Mr.. Brundigee criticised the slOwness
of the Panama canal construction.
With the expenditure of S26 600, 900
which. he said. would be the amount
used when the appropriation carried by
the bill had been used. il would only
then have been determined what char
aCter Of canal should be built.
Mr.. Livingston Of Georgia, the senior
minority member Of the appropriation
committee. said the departments were
not alone 10 blame for sending in de-
fciencies. The short session of congress
every other year. he said. was a cause
OF hurry on the part Of the committees
OF congress and in both houses, and re-
suited in much unsatisfactory work.
After some further debate the house,
al 5:15 o'clock, adjourned until tomOr-
row.

KENNEDY WINS FIRST GAME
Defeats Seymour in Opening Contest
for Balk Line Championship
of Southern California

George w. Kennedy last night de-
feated Arthur Seymour in the first of
a series of three games for the cham
pionship of Southern California at the
14-inch balk line game of billiards. the
game being played at Henry Berrys
Hoffman parlOrs before a large crowd
of billiard enthusiasts.
Kennedy was in great form and COM
pleted the score of 800 points in thirty
innings scoring high runs Of 20, 30, ".
SO and SO, the latter run finishing MS
score ana being unfinished.
Sc Jmour did not show mis- best form
and made only two good high runs,
these being % and 40.
The features Of the game were the
steady playing of Kennedy and his
thorough command of the balls on diff
fcult chances. At one stage of the
game Kennedy earned a round Of ap-
pIause by making a difficult masse shot
and frequently scored when the balls
rolled unkindly and stopped in SEEM
ingly neutral positions.
They will meet again tonight in an
other set of 800 points play and Sey-
mour said last night that he expected
to even up the score, believing that
he would be in better form tonight.
The contest will close tomorrow night
when they play a block of 400 points,
completing the 1000 points agreed upon.
Kennedy's average Of ten is eXcep-
tionally good and shows the good form
in which he played, while Seymour
averad ed only : 1929, which is far be-
low his real form.

ton Contest Held Last Night

Mr.. Minchen of Whittier won first
place in the Intercollegiate Prohibition
contest held last night at the hall of
letters at Occidental college. His ora
tion. THE Triumph of Principle" was
we'll handled and showed a depth of
thought and knowledge which easily
won him first place for composition
alone.
Mr.. Spaulding, who was his nearest
competitor, took first in delivery, being
considerably superior to any Of the
other contestants in that respect. In
thought and composition he was given
fourth place, which lost him all chance
for winning the contest. Mr.. Scott of
L. S. c. and Mr.. Hawllinson of Po-
mona both did we'll in their orations,
Mr.. Scott having a specially strong
speech.
After the awarding of the prizes the
Whittier delegation took their repre-

ried him about the hall cheering and
giving their college yells.

NELSON LlNGERS ON WAY
viii Stop at New Orleans and Phoenix
on Journey From New York to
Coast, Arriving Next Week

Battling Nelson and his manager
Billy Nolan, who left New York for
Los Angeles Sunday night, will not
come direct to the Angel City and are
not expected to arrive until next Mon
day or Tuesday.
Nelson is billed for a two nights ap-
pearance at New Orleans and will
make a one-night stand at Phoenix
coming to Los Angeles from that city.
Just what time the party will arrive
IS uncertain, but that they will lInger
for three days on the way is certain,
and this will delay their arrival at least
until next week.
Rumors were afoat on the streets
yesterday that the match had been de-
clared off by Nelson, but this was
proven to be untrue and Nelson's for
felt money has been posted and he has
accepted the advance of $500 made by
McCarey for training expenses and eX-
penses in coming to Los Angeles, which
makes sure that there is no hitch what
ever and that the battle will occur
during Fiesta week.

COUNCIL GRANTS
THE FRANCHISE
First Bid of $3.50 Raised to $500 Upon
Recommendation of Two Council
men Many Patrons
Assured

The Los Angeles Fire Alarm COM
pany was yesterday granted fran
| chise by the city council to place an
auxiliary fire alarm system in ope-
ration in this city.
The franchise gave the company
permission to place wires under ground
in the conduit district and overhead in
parts of the city where conduits are
not necessary, but in order to secure
the desired permission from the coun-
Gil the promoters of the enterprise
were compelled to raise their own bid
of $3.50 to $500.
This was due to a slight opposition
from Councilmen Ford and Healy
When the fire alarm company asked
the council to advertise for bids for a
franchise Of this nature, the council
made but the one stipulation that the
amount of the bid should be enough to
cover the cost of advertising.
The council had just prior to this
granted franchise for a beer pipe line
to one of the local breweries for only
81, and later learned that they lost
considerable money over this franchise
through the expense of advertising.
The bid of $3.50 submitted by the Los
Angeles Fire Alarm company yesterday
was greatly in excess of costs in con-
nection with advertising for bids but
Ford and Healy claimed the amount
was not enough There were but seven
members of the council present at yes
terday's session and as six votes were
necessary to pass the ordinance grant
ing the franchise, the bid was not ac-
cepted, as but five members of the
council voted favorably.
Later in the. afternoon, however, the
question was reconsidered and Frank
G. Finlayson, who represented the fire
alarm company, raised the bid to $500
Ford and Healy considered this suffi-
cient and readily voted for it.
This company proposes to install an
auxiliary fire alarm system known as
the GameWell patents, which will be
connected with the general fire alarm
system, and which will reduce the fire
hazard to such an extent that the in
suranCe companies have agreed to ma
terially reduce insurance rates on all
buildings where the system is installed.
1t is expected that hotels, lodging
houses, business buildings, theaters and
similar structures will be the patrons
of the new system. Alarm boxes will
be installed in places of this nature
which in cases of fire can be operated
by pulling a simple lever. In the rare
cases where there Is no one at hand to
pull the lever in case of fire, the heat
will act automatically on the apparatus
and a bell on top of the building will be
rung.
This company has the exclusive use
of the Gamewell system in this terri
tory, which is said to be the only sys-
tenn that can be attached to the general
fire alarm without interfering with the
latter. The plan was enthusiastically
received by the fire commission and by
that body referred to the council.
Councilman Blanchard, who is an in
surance underwater, declared in the
ance standpoint it was a good thing for
the city,

WASHINGTON, March 26.-There
was hint in the senate today that an
effort to fix a time for a final vote on
the railroad rate bill would be made.
but 1t was surrounded by so much cir
cumspection and doubt that no predic-
ton as to the time would be Justified
Mr.. Tillman stated that he would
bring up the matter in the senate to-
morrow, and unless objection was made
he may ask to have a day specified.
The suggestion as to a time arose in
connection with the more or less seri-
GUS effort on the part of a number of
senators to secure immediate consider
alton of amendments offered by them
selves. Mr.. Tillman resisted all at
tempts of that kind in the absence of
many senators, saying that votes ought
not to be taken without full notice to
senators.
Among the provisions offered were:
BY Mr.. Foraker. prohibiting the is
suance of passes; by Mr.. Scott, COM
pelling railroads to connect with other
railroads, and by Mr.. Culberson, deny
ing the interstate roads the privilege of
making campaign contributions,
Mr.. Overman made a general speech
in support of the bill, and Mr.. Teller
spoke at length against undue haste in
considering the question.
The senate and the house conferees
on the statehood bill held their first
meeting today. The result was an
agreement on one of the minor amend
ments. The real question as to the adj
mission of Arizona and New Mexico
was not discussed, it being tacitly
agreed that all minor matters should
first be disposed of. The next meeting
will take place Wednesday.

ing the presidents suggestion the house
