and no doubt caught more fish. but in
the excitement of the quick work left
the birdcage open and all our bait got
out and flew away. We had no more time
to spare and consequently did not get a
chance to fish again, but it was great
sport, and next year 1 think l will go
back there just to try blue bass fishing.
Banquet Elaborate
'The banquet the lord mayor and the
town council gave us was a great affair.
All of the leading citizens of the city and
surrounding province were present and
they toasted us and sang our praises
until we are blushing yet"
Medals of the first class were awarded
both of the veracious chroniclers by the
committee, and then by unanimous vote
1t was decided that Captain Planners

be made could not be granted. It's too
great bit of Information and too va1u-
able to sportsmen to keep quiet. they de-

WINEMAKERS HINDERED
BY GOVERNMENT RULE
Separation of DistiIIation and Fer
menting Plants eads to Appeal to
caIifornia's Congressional
Delegation

winemakers of Los Angeles and vicini-
ty are in a quandary over the recent &C
ton of Commissioner Yerkes, who has
renewed his ruling that no distilling may
be done on premises where fermenting is
carried on for wine making.
The real meaning of this ruling is
known only to winemakers. particularly
those of this territory who make the
sweet wines, which necessitate brandy
for their fortiflcation. AS it is, nearly all
wineries have their stills for making the
fortifying brandy in the same plant. and
consequently are affected by the ruling.
1t is thought that all the power of the
California congressional delegation will
be exerted in behalf of the winemakers
against the national revenue department.
Once before, when a similar ruling
threatened the business of the winemaker,
the California delegation in congress was
appealed to, and with success.
The Winemakers' association hopes for
a similar success now.

LABRADOR SLEDGE DOG
SUCCESSFUL ST0WAWAY
Ships Crew Try to Lose "Peary," but,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 9-If any
lover of animals in Philadelphia would

City of Bombay, from Glasgow, which
has arrived at this port, and demonstrat-
ing that they are able to provide a good
home for the full-blooded Labrador sledge
dog which smuggled itself on board that
vessel at st. Johns and came to this city
in the role of stowaway.
The animal, which is of the type used
by explorers to penetrate the far north,
has made firm friends of every one on
the ship from the captain down; but
English quarantine and custom laws pre-
vent their carrying him back to the old
country and they are anxious to find an
owner who will treat him with kindness.
Though half wolf he is perfectly docile
and well broken. He Is about the size
of a collie and is rusty black color with
white breast and feet. He came on board
when the vessel stopped at st. Johns to
discharge passengers, and was not dis
covered until they were far out to sea.
The crew were at loss to know what
to do with him and attempted to lose him
when they touched at Halifax. Peary, as
he has been named from his Arctic asso-
Citations, refused to be left behind, how
ever, and twice found his way back to
the ship after having been taken several
miles from the dock and turned loose.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING REPORT
GETS ANOTHER DELAY
Committee Not in Hurry and Still
Undecided as to What Recom-
mendations to Make in Re-
gard to Progress
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 9.-Action upon the
two reports of the electric engineers upon
the proposed extension of the electric
lighting system is destined to be still
further delayed.
Councilman Braley, who is chairman of
the committee having the subject in
charge, states that his committee has
not considered the reports since the in
formal meeting with the council lasc
week. He thinks there may be much
gained and nothing lost by taking time,
so there will be no report upon the sub
ject made to the council by his commit
tee tomorrow. it is stated.
There seems to be no possibility Of
harmonizing the reports of the superin-
tendent and the expert. In the main
they are not seriously different, but in
some particulars they differ widely and
neither committee nor council seems yet
able to choose between the two. 1t is
suggested that action may be delayed till
a final report is at hand upon the status
of the water works situation.

TELEPHONES USEFUL
IN TRAIN DISPATcHING
Methods Followed Aid Operators
Greatly in Carrying on Their
Work-Has Proved Great
Money Saver

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-There are three
methods followed in the application of
the telephone to electric railway dis
patching: ID Fixed telephone substa-
tions In booths placed at suitable points
along the line. (2) Jackboxes at poles,
to which portable telephones carried in
the cars may be hung and connected for
temporary use. (S) Portable telephone
sets hung upon the front of the car, the
vestfbule platform of which serves as a
booth. and attachment made by flexible
wires to jacks at numerous poles along
the line.
On some of the railway lines, says
Technical Literature, the method of con-
Meeting telephone on the car with the
line is not by means of jack at the
side of one of the poles. but by long
slender rod carrying the wires, which
may be hooked upon the main lines at
any place.
The telephones used on electric railroad
systems must give transmission which is
clear and loud, and must be of types not
liable to be placed out of service by the
jar Of continuous transportation of a
car.
Application of the telephone to train
dispatching on electric railways has re-
suited in marked economy of both plant
and operation, in that the ability of the
superintendent to be informed as to the
position of the various cars and to COM
nunicate with their operators gives a
greater service efficiency to the road.
The telephone is of great service in
severe snowstorms by reason of the IA
cility 1t affords for information to be
given the tran dispatcher as to the con-
ditIon of the road. In cases of lnishar
the telephone affords means for the quick
clearance of the track by the facilities
OF obtaining wrecklng cars or repair
hands. In cases of accident not only car
medical help be summoned for the in
5ured, but means can be taken to pro-
cure information relative to details of ths
occurrence which may be Of great i'm
portance in ascertaining the liability OF
the company.

attempt at concealment. He entered by

made that not even next door neighbors.

burglar had left the house that the in

raise herself to a window and knock for

And then she was so terrified that, think
ing the man still in the house, it was
with difficulty that she could be per-
suaded not to throw herself from the sec
