OBJECTS TO JIU JITSU
AT NAVAL ACADEMY
ADMIRAL SANDS OPPOSED TO
THE SPORT
and Not So Likely to Result in
Serious Injury to the Con-
testants

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Jiu jitsu, the
Japanese style of wrestling, will be
abolished from the naval academy, if
Rear Admiral Sands, the commandant
of the academy, is permitted to have
his way.
The testimony of Admiral Sands be-
tofe the house committee ON naval af-
fairs which has just been made public
shows that he thinks but little of the
style of wrestling nopularized by the
presidents attitude toward it.
When asked by members of the COM
mittee what he believed the value of
jiu 1itsu to be, Admiral Sands replied
Il expect to make an adverse report
upon the japanese method when am
called upon to act. With my present
information | should report against this
particular kind of wrestling. / do not
think the Japanese method is in any
way preferable to ours. A man is more
apt TO be injured or abused. think you
can inJure man more seriously, and
the more you know about it the more
temptation there is to injure am adVer-
sary and l do not think that inten-
tional Injury is the spirit of sport"
Admiral Sands said the instructions
in boxing have nothing to do with any
lpredispositlon to fighting at the acad-
envy and hereafter there will be no fist
fights at Annapolis. Members OF the
committee asked Admiral Sands many
questions about Midshipman Kim
brough, who Is being snubbed by other
mldshipmen. Admiral Sands said the
young men treat each other politely In
their official relations and he Is power
less to reach other insults.
Representative Mudd asked il It is
| not a hard state of affairs where n ma n
who testifies under the law concerning
the msdeeds of some classmates rather
than violate an oath must suffer ostra-
cism. Admiral Sands replied.
THAT Is true, but there Is the instance
of Hobson. lie did not lose anything
by il. He came out al the head Of his
class. Nobody spoke to him the whole
time he was there because he did his
lduty.'

wANTHD-AN ARBITRATOR

What Los Angeles needs worse than
anything else right now is an ar
bitrator, to step in between its war;
ring council aRd its arbitrary mayor,
settle their differences, release the
city from the bonds Of inertia which
they have created, and permit Il to go
ahead in it's career Of progress and
prosperity.
And the need Is most crying and
! pressing.
Ever since the new year began, every
new public work in Los Angeles has
been tied up because the mayor and
the council have failed to agree on a
board of public works. Months before
that the city decided to have such q
board, and both mayor and council
well knew of the decision. But both
dalled along, fencing and playing pea
nut politics instead of getting to-
gether like men and public servants
and doing their duty.
Until 1906, the delay caused no ac-
tual inconvenience. The old methods
prevailed and the tremendous amount
of necessary public improvements went
steadily ahead. With January, how
ever, the new law became operative,
and at once the boards necessity be-
came notable. Nothing could be done
till its members were named and con-
firmed, for the law required them to
act, and permitted no other course
But for five or six weeks now, for
their own petty advantages, mayor and
council have banded names back and
forth and the city's progress has been
stayed.
There seems at present no more hope
of agreement than there was a month
ago. Neither side will yield Only one
course seems open-an arbitration, by
bodies or persons having no personal
points at stake. There are such pos
sible arbitrator in the city, and they
should be called into the case and
be asked to act. Let both mayor and
council put the controversy before
them, and agree to abide by the de-
cision.
The puerile struggle for political adj
vantage has gone far enough. The
city's welfare is threatened. 1t is time
for all good citizens to act. Let every
man tell his councilman and the mayor
to cease their play, get down to bust.
ness, accept an arbitrated settlement,
and once more put the city back into
the procession of progress.

NEW EDITOR FOR THE

P. BITTNER OF ALBuQUERQuE

Will Follow Out Policy Of Predecessor
Regarding Criticism of Faculty,
and More Excitement Is Looked
for at Stanford

Special to The Herald
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. g.
Harvey p. Bittner of Albuquerque, N.
NJ, was elected at general student
body election today to the position of
editor in chief of the Daily Palo Alto,
college daily. Bittner takes the place
of b. s. Allen, who was dismissed
from college yesterday by the faculty
because of his editorial policy. The stu
dents are radical in their support of the
action of Allen and since Bittner has
ANNOUNCED his intention of following tie
policy of his predecessor there may be
more news of real live interest in tho
editorial columns Of the I'D. p. A."
Bittner's opponent in the election was
]. f. Cassell of San Francisco, who was
defeated by a large majority.
Last nights issue Of the Daily Palo
Alto contained resolution of staff
members which is in part as follows:
RESOLVED, That we express it as our
'opinion that the official organ Of any
university should be permitted to exer-
else reasonable criticism of any act
of interest to a university community"
All will not be quiet on the Stanford
campus for some days. The scenery Is
set and but one scene has been enacted.

The Celt for ages dwelt near the

Atlantic coast. The Celt nature de-

the poetry of this glorious race was
airy, full of fugitive tones.
Those old poets were filled with a
pride of race and country and their

PROSPERITY TO STAY

While such financial schemers as
James ]. Hill, Banker Schiff and
Standard Oil Rockefeller are going
| about the country hrea thing forth
doubts and expressing apprehension
as to the future of this country, such
solid, substantial men as United States
Treasurer Charles H. Treat and Bank
er Hellman are telling the people that
our prosperity is based upon sound
business policy and that values will
inevitably increase.
Treasurer Treat was guest of Los
Angeles yesterday and took occasion
to compliment the city on its beauty
its climate and its wonderful growth.
Speaking on national lines he also said
that this country was never as pros
porous, nor its business ever conducted
on as sound a basis. We are doing
business. not on credit, but on a
surplus"
And that is true. James J. Hill de-
clares we are 'indulging in eXtrava-
gances that are calling upon the flu
ture' That this is not true is shown
by Treasurer Treat, who very properly
says that the tremendous business of
today is not being done on a credit,
but with cash in hand, and that this
prosperity will continue as long as the
output of goli continues to reach it's
present great dimensions.
Take California as an instance. Per-
haps no state in the Union is doing
a larger business at this time, from
the miner to the banker, and it is
practically a cash business. Wildcat
schemers who have axes to grind and
who have an Interior purpose i'll view
are apt to shake their heads and say:
Better look out; remember what hap
pened TO us in the year S7 or ~ or
some other old time forgetful of the
fact that the conditions and circum-
stances are eatirely changed and that
whatever disastrous thing it was that
happened years ago cannot recur I'M
less the conditions are restored When
you are doing a practical cash business,
using good judgment and energy, pay
ing and collecting promptly, don't be
alarmed when your business reaches
tremendous or unprecedented heights.
If the business of Los Angeles, for
instance, were wildly speculative, some
one might express apprehension. If
we were inlulging a real estate boom
selling lots today for $4,000 that we
bought last week for $500 or $1,000
somebody might expect trouble. But
we have no conditions of that kind
Men are selling lots today for $1,000
that they paid $500 for two or three
years ago. That is not a boom, nor
any species of speculation. 1t is a
natural increase in values-a normal
condition which proves the steady
growth of the city.
| California is all right. Los Angeles
is all right. And the business of the
whole United States is in better con-
dition than ever before in its history
-on a truer and firmer foundation
That's why the prosperity viii last
That's why The croaking of fools is
the crime of an empty head.
