WAIT FOR THE CUTOFF
Real Estate Men of Palo Alto Expec
Boom I'm Near Future

PALO ALTO, Dec. IA temporary
lull has fallen on the real estate mar
ket OF Palo Alto, due to the approach
of winter and the wet weather. The
dealers OF the college town, however
are more optimistic than ever before.
They predict that with spring real es-
tate values here will mount to an un-
precedented mark.
Every attempt is being made to place
the merits of the town before the COM
muters of San Francisco and other peo-
pie who are DESTROYS of acquiring a
suburban home. Several hundred COM
muters have taken up holdings since
the earthquake and many more are ex-
pected to settle as soon as the South
ern Pacific completes the Bay Shore
cutoff. This Improvement will make
residential towns of the peninsula fully
as near the metropolis as the suburbs
of Alameda County. This Improvement
will probably not be completed before
the first of the year or later. and 1t Is
then that the real estate dealers ex-
pect to have the best market for prop
erty.

EX-D|PLOMAT PLIES
WHIP ON COUNT

PARIS, Dec. 16-Alexander Greger,
formerly secretary OF the Russian en-
bassies at Washington and Rio de
Janeiro. today in the Bots Boulogne
horsewhipped Count Rodellac Du
Poiseics. The Count says that he was
not hurt during the encounter. A duel
is expected to follow.
M. Greger some time ago while a
guest of the Count and the Countess
Du Poiseics at Ker-steras, Brittany,
was accused by the Countess of having
stolen valuable diamond from her.
1t was found in bottle of tooth-pow-
der in handbook belonging to M. Gre
ger. When confronted with the cir
cumstantial evidence of theft, the Rus
sian declared it was the work of a
spiteful servant, but later he changed
his defense and blamed the Count, who
was said to have sought revenge. A
complaint was made against M. Greger,
but the Countess withdrew it on the
plea that she had decided not to prose-
cute, but insisting upon the facts in
her deposition. Greger then brought
suit for SANDER and defamation of
character against the Countess, but this
was done only after the Count had re-
fused to fight a duel with him.

PORTLAND, Dec 1e.-While today
passed without serious incident, 1T is
feared that tomorrow will see demon
STATIONS more riotous than even those
of Saturday night, when sympathizers
of the striking streetcar men in this
city forced the Portland Light and
Power Company to abandon its service

unturned to prevent the operation OF
cars tomorrow Bright and early this
morning the strikers were on hand at
the carbarns doing missionary work
among those who remained faithful to
the company. and this missionary work
was followed up in every part Of the
town during the day by the strikers
wherever a streetcar operative could
me found willing to listen to their
arguments.
In many cases the operatives re-
manned Arm In their allegiance to the
company, but in many others they did
not. A meeting was held by the strik-
ers late today after the company had
sent it's cars to the barn, but nothing
more transpired. 1t is known. however,
that the streetcar men have been as
sured the support of the Federated
Trades Assembly.
It Is also declared that the teamsters'
unions decided to obstruct all street.
cars as much as possible by keeping
their vehicles on the car tracks. 1t Is a
matter Of note that no striker has been
involved In any of the disturbances
that have taken place, and no street
car man has SO far been placed under
arrest.
