DUCK HUNTERS ARE
AWARDED DAMAGES
Members of 6irdIess Gun Club Who
Sued for Recovery of Funds
Are Given
$432.e1

Suit of the Borchard gun club against
Caspar Borchard, the man who is alleged
to have agreed to rent his land and keep
it flooded with water for duck hunting,
was brought to a close yesterday morn
ing in the superior court. The judge al
lowing the plaintiffs $4a2.91 damages and
costs.
Several years ago E. W. Hopperstead,
one of the veteran hunters in this section
of the country, entered into contract with
Caspar Borchard by which the latter was
to construct certain dykes and perform
certain other functions necessary to at
tract the ducks to the land.
The club consisted of seven young
society men of this city who intended 1t
as an exclusive organization. They allege
the contract was not complied with and
no ducks came near the place.
The duck hunters also aver they have
spent considerable money improving the
place and equipring club buildings. They
asked for damages to the amount of
$2263.72 The case has been on trial for
the last three days.

COMMISSIONERS FIND
NO FUNDS FOR THEIR PAY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Oct. 2.-After obligating
an expense of $1405 in the proceedings to
widen South Wilson avenue, now rescind-
ed by the council, the commissioners
found they had no way of being reim-
bursed, as under the charter act the cost
of the proceedings must come from the
amount recsived by assessing the prop
erty owners benefited.
1t was on account of this burdensome
expense the property owners succeeded
in having the work begun rescinded The
commissioners are allowed to charge for
their services out of the funds received
from the assessments and 1t is freely
charged by those property owners affect
ed that frequently commissioners put in
too much time and charged more than
the work is really worth.
The Wilson avenue incident is not the
only one to be called to the attention
of the council. The commissioners ap-
pointed to appraise the Strengthening OF
Summit avenue for distance of less
than three blocks in North Pasadena
have made a partial report, naming $3Z1
as their compensation and incidental ex-
penses. Taxpayers in the assessment
district will protest to the council against
this bill and they say If 1t is neces-
sary they will go to court to fight it.
IT is claimed that the widening of mar
low the commissionership as means OF
of crooked streets in Pasadena will pro-
vide steady income for those who fol-
10 wthe commissionership as means OF
gaining a living for years to come, II
the people will stand for it.

the city officials have been in a contro-
versy over future taxes and the city now
proposes to place tax against each
pole maintained in the city
According to statement by City AS
SCISSOR Kellogg, If the company insists
that 1t has no franchise since last August
1t could have asked for rebate on its
franchise assessment for that period be-
tween August and the first of the year.
The fact that a corporation which usu-
ally seeks to pay out only what is abso-
lutely compulsory overlooked this fact is
taken as conclusion by the company
that it is cheaper to pay taxes on
franchise than to be taxed for each sep
arate pole.
The assessed value of the Sunset COM
pany, as made out by the assessor last
March, are: Conduits. $2S,O00; telephones,
s14, O8o; fourteen miles of lines, $4,000;

OCCIDENTAL READY
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Occidental students held an enthusiastic
rah rah meeting in the college chapel
yesterday at which the football chances
of the institution were portrayed Ky
many speakers in a most optimistic
light.
The Presbyterian school will meet Los
Angeles high at Fiesta park tomorrow
and the student body took this opportun-
ity to show their confidence and faith IN
the team which will represent them in
the contest with the strongest prep eleven
in he south.
Occidental is confident of victory over
the academies, although the Presby-
terians fully appreciate the power Of
their high school opponents. Coach Go
heen has put the Highlanders through
the most strenuous practice in spite of
the unfavorable weather during the past
two weeks and every evening the Occi-
dental field has been the scene of much
activity and hard work in scrimmage re-
hearsal.
Slight changes have been made in the
lineup of the Presbyterians which will
add much to their line strength and
speed.
McClung will probably not be sufficient
ly recovered from his injuries received IN
the Whittier game to play on Saturday.
so Captain Crane will probably be shifted
to the end position. Fred Thompson
will vacate at full and will replace Crane.
Fred johnson has won the fullback pro-
motion by his consistent playing in the
past games and he will enter the high
school game at that position. Coach
Goheen has expressed the utmost con-
fidence in Johnson's ability to fill the i'm
portant place and says the young player
will no doubt make creditable showing.
The Presbyterians were introduced to
a charging machine for the first time
yesterday afternoon and put in a hard
hours work stretching their imagination
in using the bucker as an effigy Of the
academic line.

SAY PLANT MAY BE
WHITE ELEPHANT
Fear Municipal Improvement May Not
+ Prove Successful and Flood
Council with Demands
for Lights

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Oct 24.-Taxpayers who
foot the bills accruing by the installation
of the municipal lighting plant are be-
coming uneasy for fear the city may soon
have white elephant on its hands.
This fear might result in defeat of any
proposed additional bond issue that
Mayor Farley has in mind.
1t is generally regarded that the plant,
when completed with the additional $50
kilowat engine now being installed. will
be adequate for all needs, including COM
mercial lighting. In report to the
mayor, c. C. Glass. general manager of
the plant for the city, says SO. AT the
solicitation of the mayor, Ezra Scatter
good, another electrical expert, rec
ommends an additional capacity of 75C
klowats
Prof C. e. Cory of Berkeley is now
asked to advise the city which of the
two knows what he is talking about.
Before delivering his opinion Prof. Cory
writes that he is investigating the ca
pacities of plants, both municipal and
privately owned in other cities. Several
we'll known citizens think such an In
vestigation could have been carried on
by city officials, thereby saving addition
al expense.
If the Scattergood report b adopted 1t
means an additional bond issue, as the
mayor says there are no more funds
available for the purpose.
In the meantime those who voted the
expense of municipal lighting are clamor-
ing for more street lights. Councilman
Hotaling, member of the committee on
electric lights, says the committee has q
bushel basketful of petitions for lights,
which cannot be granted until the full
capacity of the plant is determined.
Manager Glass says that when the
new engines are ready for operation there
will be sufficient capacity for all lights
asked for with enough left for COM
mercial lighting. All he will then need
is the extra lamps, wire and the cost OF
construction.
City Commissioner Medill says there Is
fund of almost $4,000 left from last
year which could be used for extensions
while an appropriation of $17, 900 from this
years budget Is also available. In view
of these conditions taxpayers who are
deprived of more lights cannot under.
stand the reasons.

cisco school question and the agree.
ment between Japan and the United
States to bar the Japanese laborers
from this country. President Roose.
welt laid the situation before Admiral
Dewey ind his associates on the gen.
eral naval board. and requested them
to consider the Japanese question In
all its phases and to make suggestions
as to the a~dvisability OF increasing
the American feet in AsEatic waters.
The President expects an answer from
the general board in the near future.
The utmost secrecy was maintain.
ed about this important conference.
and when the Secretary of the Navy
was asked about 1t he became angry
and declared 1t an outrage to be asked
about his conference with the Presi.
dent He delivered a neatsd lecture
to the reporters who asked him for
Information and ended by saying:
Cannot Talk, Says Meteaif.
There are subjects which cannot
be discussed. This is one Of them.
IT am surprised that members of the
Cabinet should be questions as to
what transpfres at Cabinet meetings,
at conferences with the President,
and that Senators should be asked
about the executive sessions Of the
Senate. ! did not ask .aae President
II could talk about this subject. Con.
sequentiy. I cannot do so. Even when
a question is of minor Importance, j
cannot discuss 1t without FIRST getting
permission Of the President"
1t is now regarded in administra.
ton circles that the Japanese aues.
ton has not been settled, but that its
permanent adjustment has been mere
ly postponed. It is believed for at
least another year before a final set.
Element Is reached. President Roose-
Welt and the members OF the general
naval board do not beiieye there will
be war VITA .itian In the near future,
but there ts u strong sentiment in
favor of increasing the American ma.
val strength in The Orient, and this
action will in all PROBABILITY be rec.
commended by Admiral Dewey and ais
associates.

lister fact that all Is NOT well between
the United States and Japan, in spite
OF the statement that the Japanese
government gave its consent to the
enactment Of The amendment exclud-
ing coolies from the mainland Of the
United States, cannot much longer be
concealed.
Dispatches from Tokyo admit that
the Japanese populace is becoming
more demonstratiye In its resentment
against this country and its own gov
ernmept for c~onsenting to the exciu-
sion OF Japanese from the American
mainland.
The protest of Japanese in Hawaii.

IN tone.
A conference was held at the White

dent. Secretary Of the Navy Metcalf,
Admiral Dewey, the offers of the
navy general board. and Rear Admiral
Converse, chief of the Bureau Of, Nayi.
cation, and In spite Of strict inpunc.
lions of secrecy, 1t was learned that
the discussion dealt with the rela.
tions between the United States and
Japan. and the adyisability OF lncreas-
ing the naval strength OF this copn.
try in Pacific waters.
Conference Deeply Significant.
Certain Senators in the confidence
OF the President have been advised
for some time that the relations be.
tween the United States and Japan
might become strained, and the al.
mission is made in certain quarters
that the President acted with def.
mite knowledge when he took unusual
steps to remove the causes OF friction
arising from the discrimination
against Japanese in San Francisco!
Yesterdays conference became still
more significant, when Il was learned
that the question Of the disposition Of
war ships was under discussion.
This conference was held at the,
request Of President Roosevelt, who
directed Admiral Dewey and the 9TH
er members OF the General Naval
Board to meet him at the White
House to discuss the situation, SO as
to decide as to whether there is n
necessity for asking Congress for
emergency appropriations in the
event Of tlhe need arising for the use
Of large sums of money in an emer

No Immediate Danger.
1t was decided that so far as all
the other nations except Japan are
concerned our relations are ~satisfac.
tory. and there is not likely to be any
trouble so far as can be determined.
now. With regard TO Japan it was de-
cided that there is no danger of seri.

date future. but that It is apparent
that the Japanese question has not
been settled permanently.
There is dissatisfaction in Japan
