HIGH SCHOOL
TENNIS MEN WIN
DEFEAT HARVARD MILITARY
TEAM
Soldier Boys Meet with Disastrous
ResuIt-Winners Will Play Occi-
dental College Team
Next

Harvard military academy was
skidooed completely yesterday morning
when the tennis team of Los Angeles
high school met the military and in an
interesting but disastrous tournament
defeated the soldier boys by the score
of % to 0. Outplayed at every point of
the game, beaten in every set, the mill
tary rooters could but cheer a dying
cause while the high school boys added
one victory to another.
The massacre began with the first
single when Dawson, high schools first
man, met Cawston, who occupied that
Place on the Harvard team. The con-
test was an exciting one, but of the
three sets the first went to Dawson by
a score Of 8-6; Cawston took the sec
ond by Ga, and tn high school man
won the third, and with it the set, by
a score of Glove. This netted five
points for high school.
Davis high schools second man, de-
feated Harvards representative, Hook
er, winning both sets by 6-2 and 7-5.
Rogers for Los Angeles won from Ne
beker, taking the first and third sets by
4-6 and So Nebeker won the second
by a score of 6-1. Harry Rogers also
took the series from his opponent,
Olden, winning the first set by 6-1, and
|
down the line again and again, and not
a single time did the Harvard youth
| have a look in.
| Following the slaughter Of the inno-
cents in the singles, the opposing team
| lined up for the doubles, the Rogers
| brothers comprising high schools first
team, and Dawson and Davis their sec
ond; while Cawston and Hooker held
the first place in Harvards line, with
Nebeker and Olden making up the Sec
ond.
The doubles We're very exciting at
| times. Cawston distinguished himself
! by some fine serving, while G. Rogers
| and Hooker did wonders in driving the
| ball. II. Rogers at the net made some
sensational smashes that brought the
rooters on the line to their feet with
ringing salVos of applause. But no
| playing could restrain the victorious
| high school boys.
| The first team won two straight sets
by the scores Of 6-3 and GA. Dawson
and Davis took their series by 1913 and
6-3. Five points for the first victory In
the singles, four for the second, three
for the third and two for the fourth,
and five for the first teams victory in
| the doubles and four for the second,
brought high schools score to twenty
three, Harvard scoring not a single
| point.
Next Saturday the high school boys
Will try a more venturesome tack when
they will meet the Occidental college
team. This, they make haste to ex-
plain, does not mean the Occidental
high school team.

PASADENA, March 2-After being
pronounced unsafe by several compe-
tent architects, reinforced concrete
bridge spanning South Raymond ave-
nue. just opposite the Raymond Iotel
golf links still stands a menace to the
lives of passengers on the Pasadena
lines of the Pacific Electric.
Today two wooden towers were con-
structed to hold the heavy mass Of con-
crete and support it from falling to
the tracks. 1t is thought by many to
be one of the worst death traps in the
country.
The bridge was built some time ago
and after the board ng had been taken
from 1t it was pronounced to be per-
feCtly safe. A few days later a crack
appeared in the bridge and the report
was circulated that it was settling in
the center and might drop at any time.
1t has hung together remarkably well
since that time, but the cracks have
multiplied and widened at an alarming
rate of late.
The wooden supports were placed
under the bridge today, by whom no
one knows and for what purpose no one
Is aware.
Civil engineers have stated that the
bridge, If 1t fell at all, would probably
fall when there was some jarring of
car or some similar cause. Should
the tons of cement fall Oh top of
passing car there would not be a person
left alive in the wreck.
1t is thought that preparations are
now under way to tear down the bridge
and replace it with a more substantial
structure The wooden towers erected
to strengthen the structure were built
OF planking nailed together in the form
of square tower with board bracings.

LAX SIGNALING
CAUSE OF DEATH
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March "A coroner's 3
jury this morning found that Louis H.
Greder, the iron worker who yesterday
fell from q derrick on the Chamber of
Commerce building, came to his death
accidentally. But the jury recon-
mended some drastic changes in the
mode of signaling used by the men en-
ployed on the building and on all build
ings being constructed by the Union
Iron works. 1t was, in the minds of
the jury, the lax code Of signals en-
ployed on the Chamber of Commerce
six-story structure that caused the
death of the man who yesterday fell
from above the top story to the ground
floor and struck on the terra Gotta floor
bracing then installed.
On the stand one after the other of
the employees on the building arose and
stated that he was to get the signal to
stop hoiSting the man on the chain at
tached to the hook in the pulley block.
He was to get the signal-yes, he would
admit that, and he would tell who was
to give the signal to him and that he
was to pass it to the next man, who
would pass it through a chain to the
engineer. But the first man, who was
to start the system of signaling, could
not be found, though all the workers
swore the man on the chains was to
give the signal himself
Suffice it to say that the signal never
came the pulley block was pulled over
the derrick beam and the huge chain
and the man riding on 1t were dropped
to the floor of the first story, ninety
feet below. The injured man all the
way to the hospital moaned incoherenL-
ly: "Oh, please stop the engine. Don't
raise me any higher" and he repeated
the impression of the moment as the
chain gradually slipped as the block
was raised.
Steps will be taken to establish a new
set of signals on the building.

CONTRACTORS ASK
PERMISSION TO
FINISH OUTFALL
Regret Surrender of
Contract
" Permitted to Change Sewer Route,
Promises to Do Job in Schedule
Time and at the orisl-
nal Cost

Stansbury e. Powell, the contractors
who abandoned work on the outfall
sewer, will on Monday make proposi-
tion to the city to take up the work and
finish It at contract price provided the
city changes the route.
The contractors vast to avoid the
water-bearing lands at Inglewood, and
ask permission to wind arouLl a hill in
that section, thus striking ground that
can be bored easily.
They claim they can do the work in
the original contract time and the city
will not be the loser in any respect.
On the other hand, if the present
plans are carried out they say 1t will
be at a rate of cost far above that
originally contemplated.
The price agreed on for the sewer
was $565,0O0.
The contractors had been paid about
9260,000 when they surrendered the job.
About So per cent of the work had been
done.
They are willing to buy back material
gathered or used by the city amounting
to $4,000, and will finish the work
under city supervision.
City's Action Uncertain
Just what view the city authorities
will take of the proposition is uncer-
tain, as Mayor Harper is in the Ante
lope valley beyond reach of the wires
The contractors gave q bond on
which the city expected soon to bring
suit for at least $4,000 The cost Of
completing the sewer was to have been
charged up against the contractors.
In the city engineer office 1t has
been often stated that the original
plans were feasible, and Homer Hamlin
has demonstrated that it is possible 20
bore a sewer through water-bearing
lands even if four pumps had to be
operated continuously day and night.
The expense has been heavy, how
ever, about 100000 having been spent to
run less than 500 feet of sewer. About
$1,000 a day will soon be put into the
bore.
Other engineers say that there was
no occasion for running the sewer
through this treacherous soil as the
hill deviation would have been far
cheaper and just as practicable. 1t was
merely following the old plans under
the Stafford regime and was never
changed. Experts have also criticised
the S0-foot depth of the sewer as costly
and unnecessary.
There will be conference probably
in the city attorneys office if the offer
is made before the council meets Mon
day. and some action may be taken
then.
The work at present is being carried
on under the outfall sewer bonds, which
fund shows large deficit

EUREKA, March 2.--At o'clock this
afternoon the first attempt was begun
to take freight off the wrecked steamer
Corona, which still lies caught on the
teeth of the rocks of the north jetty.
1t is admitted by the officials of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company that
there is no hope of getting the steamer
off the rocks. This morning a force Of
men, working under direction of Capt.
Darwin, commenced planting poles, and
a heavy cable has been strung from the
shore to the ship. The bar was break
ing with considerable force, and the
placing of the cable was accomplished
with the greatest difficulty,
Efforts will be made to take the
freight off as far as possible in baskets.
1t may prove practicable to use raft
for a portion of the freight, provided
the sea is smooth when the tide is out.
Freight Watersoaked
Those in charge of the work admit
that they do not know whether or not
the efforts to remove freight will he
successful. There were $50 tons Of mis-
cellaneous freight aboard, but the COM
pany officials declare they are unable
to estimate the loss.
All the freight is watersoaked, the
hold being flooded. The vessel is now
beginning to sink into the sandy bot
tom of the bar. All the small baggage
has been brought ashore.
A boatload of men working at the
cable was nearly capsized this morning
when within several hundred feet of the
wreck. 1t was necessary for the boat
to put back TO shore, as big holes were
torn in the bottom.
Five Have Narrow Escape

How Superstition Became Science.

The now commonly accepted theory that yellow fever, malaria, and kindred ills are transmitted by insect bites, the correctness of which was first vindicat- ed by the late Dr. Walter Reed, U. S.. A., was noted by that greatest of Ob- servers, Capt. Richard F. Burton, in East Africa in 1854, and is cited, very skeptically to be sure, in his First Footsteps" as follows:
 {" 'Fid-mer,' or the evening flyer, is the Somali name for a bat. These little animals are not disturbed in houses, because they keep off flies and mos quitoes, the plague of the Somal count ". Flies abound in the very jungles where cows have been and settle in swarms upon the traveller. Before the monsoon their bite is painful, especially that of the small green species; and there is small red variety called Dix sias, whose venom, according to the people, causes them to vomit. The lat ter abounds in Gulays and the hill ranges of the Berberah country, it is innoeuous during the cold season. The mosquito bites bring on, according to the same authorities, deadly fevers. The superstition probably arises from the fact that mosquitoes and fever become formidable about the same time"
 It seems odd that nearly fifty years had to elapse before science adopted the Superstition of these African savages.
