TRANSFERS STRIKE
IS THREATENED
tContinued from Page one)

on San Pedro street last night and
while but little information was given
out, the men saying that until they get
a decisive answer from their employers
that they will have no further state
ment to make, it was learned that they
have determined to carry the fight
against the transfer companies to the
end and that the International union
had been appealed to for help.
1--WE are simply making a demand
for betterment of conditions which
we are entitled to-" stated a member of
the union. I'VE do not propose to
make any trouble for anyone and there
will be no need of police guards or
extra deputies or other officers. We
have made a peaceable and just de-
mand for an increase of wages and we
expect to get it. We are prepared to
hold out as long as the transfer and
truck companies are md we have the
unions OF the country back of us. We
are entitled to more than we ask but
have been content with asking a small
advance to cover the increased cost of
living and the heavier work that we
now do"

mo, L have not been particularly
alarmed by the war clouds. Some of
the girls want the windows open for
ventilation and some want them closed
because they catch cold. If the storm
doesn't break before the next week or
two why we will have no trouble, for
BY that time the cloudy weather will
have passed away and then the sun

That is Flanigan's opinion, but to see
some of the tilted noses as the girls
walk past persons" of the opposite
faction is convincing that the probable
tiles of desperate warfare are bright.
In the meantime the foggy mornings
are causing some of the girls to choke
and cough and warm bricks at the
heater to wear under their feet, while
the opposite faction of fresh artists
laugh and enjoy the situation. This is
admittedly a serious state of affairs,
according to the statements of the girls,
and the war clouds are lowering low
over the detention home.
If the worst comes to the worst and
hostilities are declared then it may re-

MILK LICENSES
MUST Be RENEWED
Board of Health VIII Grant No More
Permits to Dairymen Who
Violate Sanitary Regu-
Iations

With the end of April all permits for
the sale of milk in Los Angeles expired.
The board of health will issue new
ones only to such persons as prove tnat
they comply with the regulations in
every way.
Since April / all the board inspectorss
have been serving notices on dairymen
to read the rules, read them again and
act accordingly.
All such as have clean bills of health
will get renewed permits others will
not. Trials will follow for all dairy
men who violate the regulations.
Samplessof milk are being collected
from restaurants and stores as well as
from wagons for analysis. Arrests are
made daily. Milk must carry butter
fat of 3.7. Most of the wholesalers de-
liver milk at 3.5. AS many consumers
skim the cream from the top of the
filled cans to sell for "half-and-half'
after the milk has settled the remain
ing milk always falls below the
standard. Many persons have been
fined $5 for. indulging in this practice
of selling SKINNED milk.
The department has on file the names
of all farmers and ranchers who sell
milk to the larger dealers. Their places
will be inspected from time to time, as
the city deputies also work by special
favor under state license or privilege.
Mayor Harper and his board have an
nounced that only apure milk is good
enough for Los Angeles, and they are
enforcing their dictum.

Special to The Herald
SAN DIEGO, April 30.-Amos j. An
derson of Colorado Springs, Colo. and
brother-in-law of DR.. Charles Gardiner
and Herman Goyce, wealthy and
prominent men of that city, committed
suicide at 1 o'clock this afternoon on
Coronado beach by shooting himself
in the mouth with an automatic re-
volver.
Anderson is said to have lost a for
tune in mining stock speculation in
Goldfield, falling to sell in time before
the last big strike.
Anderson came to Coronado a month
ago and since then Lad been drinking
heavily. According to Mr.. Tut, an
other wealthy Colorado Springs mining
man who is here in his yacht, the
Anemone, Anderson grew despondent
over his financial losses, and his con-
stant brooding ended in chronic melan-
cholia, causing him to kill himself.
Anderson had been acting queerly
recently, according to the clerk of the
Hotel Coronado, and Monday morning
at $3.50 he walked up to the desk and
said, well, old man, it's all off, /
guess. Good by" He was not seen
afterward until two men from San
Diego, H. M. Anderson and G. B. Hop
kins, of 1905 M street, who were fish
ing far down on the beach, heard a
shot at / o'clock Tuesday afternoon
Rushing in the direction Of the report
the found the body Cf Anderson on the
sands. The revolver lay by his side
Anderson was unconscious and never
recovered to make a statement. No
letters were found on the body He
had been occupying room at Hotel
del Coronado for the past month but
left nothing there to explain the
tragedy. Johnson & Connell, San Di-
ego undertakers have sent word of the
suicide to DR.. Gardiner, Colorado
Springs, and the body will probably be
sent back to his home for burial.

ARE EXCHANGED
IN RUFF CASE
Ach Johnson Hurl
Defis
Latter Says He Would Rather Repre-

That Ever Took
Bribe
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-Of the
fifty talesmen composing the new venlre
issued yesterday by Judge Dunno for
the completion of the Ruef jury forty
five answered their names in court to-
day.
twenty-five of these gave, privately,
excuses as to why they should not be
required to serve, and they were ex-
cused over the objection of the defense.
Seven of the remaining twenty were
examined, five of them standing ASIDE
on challenge for cause and two of them
being tentatively accepted on qualifica-
ton, but still subject to peremptory
challenge by either side.
Frank Beutler, a window shade mer-
chant, was the last talesman to be ex-
amined before adjournment. He was
challenged for cause by the defense,
but the challenge was not allowed, and
he took his seat on the panel.
Hiram Johnson, retained as special
counsel for the prosecution during the
examination of prospective jurors, stung
to retort by Ach's frequent and sneer-
ing reference to him as private counsel
employed for public prosecution" finally
cried OUT
"Pd rather appear for the state than
for any rogue that ever took a bribe."
Ach Takes Exception
Ach took formal exception to this re-
joinder, and Johnson replied that the
formers conduct was "sickening." Ach
retorted that Johnson's was disgust
ing" and rose to address the court by
way of formal protest.
Now" said Johnson" rising and in
terrupting his opponent vehemently,
'if there is going to be any argument on
merits I'll make mine now. I've heard
enough of these slurs directed against
private COUNSEL and 1 am tired Of It..
I would rather appear for the prosecu-
ton of boodler and rogue, a thief and
scoundrel-a man who has been
smamelessly robbing his l'wn city-than
I would against almost any other stripe
of citizen. That's my position"
Ach demanded that the nine jurors
sworn to try the case and the venire-
men present, but not accepted, be in
structed by the court to ignore ut
ter.J the remarks of counsel for the
state and that he be instructed to
henceforth desist from making of pre-
judicial remarks calculated to bias the
jury"
"The jury, Mr. Ach," said Judge
Dunno, will be instructed on all phases
of the law at the proper time. Now
let's proceed with this examination"

Los Angeles played the host last night,
entertaining large number of mem
bers Of the Ohio, Pennsylvania and

The four organizations banded to-
gether six months ago to rent Frater-
nal Brotherhood hall. Last night the

societies would take :. vacation. The
Texas society had already adjourned
for the summer. The Pennsylvania
and Ohio societies will continue to hold
meetings through May and June, and
then give picn:cs during the summer.
The Massachusetts society voted last
night to continue it's meetings as
usual.
According to the present arrange
ments, each society has one Tuesday
each month. When there are five Tues
days in a month the fifth is a joint
meeting, but because the electrical
parade comes next Tuesday. on which
the joint meeting would have fallen,
1t was done away with and the Massa-
chusetts society acted as host to the
others, of whom a large number were
present.
An interesting program was ar
ranged. Judge Noyes, formerly speak
er of the house of Massachusetts, was
one of the speakers. Judge H. e.
Pierce was another. Cooper Culver
and Mr.. Buell. gave several readings,
and the little Misses Hazel and Flora
Graves rendered violin and piano
duet.
Following the program the members
engc ged in dancing.

ANOTER TART REPLY.
porting Editor Democrat:

Sporting Editor Democrat:
 In regard to an article appearing in your issue of Saturday night about the Spaldings claiming the cham. pionship of the city. We asked in our last article which appeared in last Thursdays paper who did these Spaldings ever beat. We wish an answer to that question, then they can claim the championship. No team will play these Spaldings. They are not fit to play. The Quakers beat them and during the second half they called themselves the Eagles In other games they called themselves the Lookouts, Rosebud Juniors. As stated in the Brownies last article the Telegram square team will re- lieve them of their stage money.
 The Brownies get their reputation by beating such teams as the Orioles, Quakers, Emeralds and other teams who have regulations. Another claim of the Spaldings, Eagles, Look outs or Rosebud Juniors, is that dur ing the Oriole-Brownie game a sub ran out from the side line and kicked the ball. We have $10 to bet and we will back 1t by referring it to the manager of the Orioles. We have money to buy coal and our stove pipe is not out on the side of the street and if they would only give the in- side of their club couple of coats of white wash it would look like a club instead of barn as it appears now.
 We also wish to put up $50 that not one of the Spaldings saw a bunch of the Brownie A. c. with bags fish ing for coal by the railroad tracks The appearance on the hands and faces of the Spaldings seems as if they had been at their trade, picking coal down by the railroad tracks, which Is only about 100 paces from the club or barn, which is the only thing you can call it.
 Thanking you for space we remain, l.. HAYES,managnr Brownies.

AFTER BAN JOHNSON.

Chicago, Dec 9.-There is a con- spiracy on foot among certain Amer ican league magnates to dethrone President Ban Johnson.
 When the league members meet here December II, President John son will be called upon to face the strongest opposition to his rule since its organization was founded. For over a year prominent forces in the big league have been working against its head. and there is now no doubt that these members will break into open flame at the meet ing this week.
 Only one of the magnates con- cerned in the plot to dethrone John son has publicly declared his enmity. That man is Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago club, who shares with Johnson the honor of having made the American league what it is to-day.
 In the meeting last year Comiskey took the floor and denounced the head of the league in bitter speech. Only the finest diplomacy patched up the semblance of peace between the two men, and 1t is certain that from the coming meeting on 1t will be a fight to a finish.
 When he made his attack last year Comiskey stood. practically alone, but such is not the case now.
 A man high in base ball councils said that Comisliey could depend ab- solutely on the support of the Cleve- land, Boston and Washington clubs, but declined to name any other mag mates who were involved in the movement against Johnson. With four clubs opposed to him, it is quite probable that their combined influ- ence could have induced one or more magnates to pledge secret sup port, and if that is true, the end of the Johnson reign is at hand.

To Kill Sunday Baseball.

New York, Dec. 9. - The Intercol- legiate Athletic Association of the United States at it's meeting in the last week in December hopes to kill Sunday baseball The practice, which has been one of the most pernicious of the many ills that have affected tho college sporting body. has been mora or less prevalent for more than a dec ade. Sporadic efforts have been made from time to time to stop it, but none has succeeded in doing more than to limit its scope. For year the execu- tive committee has been engaged in a sweeping investigation. and the result of it will be laid before the convention of colleges to assemble at the Murray Hill hotel on Dec. 2s.
