about recovered from his illness, con
tracted while in Palm Beach, and will
join his team soon. Billy is a good
man. The Royals have missed his

members of the Cuban X-Giants, who

mond last year, because of an attack
of a complication of diseases, is lying
home in New York critically i'll. The
Tribune" scribe wishes to call the at
tentions to those who are interested
in the game, to the fact that in their
many limitations as to what the white
teams do for a fellow-member of pro
fessional ball, they have overlooked
the act of giving Jack" benefit
game-Philadelphia Tribune.

ISOLATION Finish Business

SOUTHERN PACIFIC DENIES
LEAVING CALIFORNIA cARLESS

The Southern Pacific issued the follow
ing statement yesterday:
iaReports have been quite generally pub
lished to the effect that the reciprocal
demurrage law of Oregon had resulted In
this company's sendong a great many
cars north to Oregon and depriving Cali
fornia shippers at time when their need
was greatest A statement by our vice
president and general manager, q. q.
Calvin, is appended, which / ask you 20
carefully consider, making such comments
and publishing same If you will, in order
that the position Of this company may De
clearly understood by the press and the
public.
Immense shipments of Oregon lumber
and large shipments of other Oregon
products are headed southwark as is GUS
fornary In the fall On the other hand
the movements of products north into
oregon is very light relatively.
"No empty cars are sent to Oregon in
the way of storage supplies, but the only
source Of supply for the Southern Pacific
lines in Oregon are our lines to the south,
for the reason that there is practically no
direct movement from the east to western
Oregon points through Ashland and all
the cars that come via Portland from the
east must under the general rule of the
railroads be returned that way. There
fore, when we receive a certain number
OF LOADS at ASuldlu, 5OulHpouAu, We HiuSl
eoualize by giving the Oregon lines north
bound empty cars enough to make the
northbound movement equal to the south
bound; otherwise 1t would only be a short
lime before there would be no freight
cars at all in western Oregon. Only
enough cars are being sent to Oregon TO
eoualize the movement. and If that were
not done California consignees would be
unable to get any freight from Oregon
Can you suggest any more equitable ar
rangement than thisf
an California we have Of course a very
heavy movement of cars from the east
which are generally used by our lumber
dealers for return loads, and they have
that advantage over Oregon shippers. o.
course there has been a shortage every
where but the congestion is being greatly
relieved and in a short time conditions In
both California and Oregon will be
normal"

SUGGEST METAL COVERED
DOORS, SASH AND FRAMES
Petitioners Ask That Building ordl-
nances Be Amended to- Cut Down
Fire Risks in Class
Structures

Amendments to the building ordinance
will be proposed shortly by interests which
favor metal covered doors, window frames
and exposed points in class buildings.

with the city clerk yesterday, which
doubtless will first be referred to the
chief building inspector.
1t is proposed to make the rule apply to
all churches, school houses and dwellings
within twenty feet of class D structure.
Wired glass is also suggested for the
windows where such exposure exists.

BY Associsted Press
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-One person was
burned to death and six others were
severely hurt in fire that destroyed a

teenth street, early this morning. Two
policemen who carried several children
from the building were slightly affected
by the smoke.
The fire, the cause of which has not
yet been learned, broke out on the first
floor of the building and spread so rap
idly that none of the occupants had an
opportunity to escape Most of the in
mates Of the second and third floors were
carried down ladders.
Mrs. Caplin. one of the injured, gave
birth to a child yesterday. She was being
overcome by smoke and was prevented

BETTER PAY FOR
COUNTY TEACHERS
TAX RATE HIGHER TO INSURE
INCREASED SALARIES
State Fund lie Also Set Aside to Take
Care Of Pedagosues Who
Profit Under New
Law

Salaries are being increased for many
teachers in Los Angeles county.
Superintendent Mark Keppers office
force has been busy for some time an
swering inquiries indicating that most of
the city boards of education and boards
of trustees of common schools are taking
notice of the expansion now made pos
sible.
The board of supervisors of Los Az
geles county fixed the tax rate for county
school funds at % cents on the 500 in
stead of 10 cents. the legal minimum.
This increase of cents on the 800 yield
the county school fund between $145,0 900
and $150.0O0. This increase was made by
the board of supervisors for the specific
purpose of insuring better salaries to the
common school teachers.
This increase of cents in the county
school rate will increase the apportion-
SIS to SIS unit for the school year end
ing June 80 1908 that is, for the present
school year.
What this increase means to the school
district may be determined by multiply
ing the average daily attendance in the
common schools for the year ending June
80, 1907, by three. For example. the
average daily attendance of Alameda
school district sixty-four units and it's
increase in its county fund will be S192.
There is also change in the law which
sets apart all the state fund and 60 per
cent of the county school fund solely for
the payment of teachers salaries Begin
ming with the apportionments for the
school year 1907-s, the county fund will be
divided into three parts. One will be
called the county salary fund and will
consist Of 60 Der cent Of all money annOr-
toned to the county fund; one will be
called the library fund and will consist CT
{ per cent or less of the county fund, and
the remainder will be called the county
contingent fund and will consist of all
the county fund not included in the salary
and library funds.
The contingent fund may be used for
the expenses of the school of any kind
whatsoever including teachers salaries.
