WOULD DO AWAY
WITH BAD PLUMBING
COUNCIL REFERS MEASURE TO
BOARD OF WORKS
Agitation Growing Out of Sanitary
Campaign Revelations May Give
Health Inspectors More
Power to Condemn

The council yesterday took up the
ordinance referred to in The Herald
Saturday for improving plumbing in
old buildings.
The new law specifies the use and
maintenance of certain plumbing fix
lures, sewers and cesspools to be un-
lawful and to be nuisances and author
ICES empowers and directs the board of
health to condemn such fixtures, sewers
and cesspools and abate the nuisances.
Councilman Dromgold asked his col
leagues If they realized what such a
law meant that it possibly was less
innocent in it's workings than appeared
on the surface.
Health inspectors may make lot
of trouble under the new ordinance If
we don't watch out" said he. ''They
may take a notion to condemn most
anything at a great expense to prop
erty owners"
Councilman Wren called attention to
the fact that in the present sanitary
cleanup campaign some inspectors said
that plumbing conditions threatened
tenants health in some premises more
than rats, f1eas or rubbish.
1t was finally decided to refer the
matter back to the board of public
works to be digested there first.
The present laws on plumbing apply
apparently only to new structures and
do not cover old ones

WILL PROTEST AGAINST
MEXlCANS' IMPRISONMENT
attorney for Agitators Declares Men
Have Deem illegally Held-Says
They viii Be Shot Down
Like Dogs

Sympathizers with DeLara, Magon, Viii
Jail here charged with offenses against
their own government, have made ar
rangements for another protest meeting
at Simpson auditorium this evening, at
which they say they expect to draw
powerful rebuke from the lips of labor of
the injustice to which, as they claim,
these men are being subjected. Two
weeks ago Messrs. Job Hartman and A.
r. Holston made an appeal on their be-
half at the same place, and the handbills
with which the city has been flooded
state that tonight they will give an
exact account of the atrocities already
committed in Mexico and the attempt be-
ing made to hand innocent men over to
certain DEATH"
Friends of the prisoners assert most
positively that If they should be handed
over to Mexico they will be "shot down
like dogs" and declare that their only
crime consists in having been persistent
agitators for rights guaranteed to the
people by their constitution and denied
by the authorities.
DeLara is member of one of the old
est Mexican families His attorney says
he is able TO show letters from the gov
eTnOr OF sonora ana Otner nlSn O1TcldlS
couched in terms of the warmest friend
ship; was a member of the diplomatic
service and Is an author of far more than
ordinary repute. Although he has been
in Jail some three months, the lawyer
says no definite charge has been lodged
against him and his friends vehemently
insist that his sole offense consists in
having spoken out bravely when his fell
low prisoners were arrested without war
rant and on equally vague charges.
Magon, who is a graduate of the Ma
tional School of Law in Mexico and has
also been voluminous author, is said
to be idolized by thousands who know
him.
Villareal was professor at the normal
school of Nueva Leon and has been a
constant writer on questions of constitu-
tional liberty; and much the same ap-
plies to Rivera, who was professor and
lecturer in San Luis Potosi on geography,
history, physics and chemistry.
1t is certain that the men have numer-
GUS friends who are loud in protestations
of innocence and have no intention of al
lowing them to be sacrificed without
thorough hearing.

LONG RUN IN

U. s. C. ATHLETES PREPARE FOR
WHITTIER CONTEST
Coach Holmes Back from the North,

Meets with Stanford
University

The preliminary tryout for the first
intercollegiate cross country run to be
held between Whittier and U. S. c. De-
cember will be run off at the univer-
sity oval this afternoon at o'clock.
Fourteen men have signified their IN
tention of entering the tryout, and as
the team number in the intercollegiate
affair is limited to six the elimination
trial was necessitated
The men who will run today are Cap
tain Nordahl, Day, Jeffries, Kittle, Ellis,
Earl, Grant Richardson, Pidge, New
mire, Bowser, Taft Cornwell Mas and
Scott. The course will be five miles IN
length and includes two laps of the
quarter mile track at Bovard field
thence a devious route to Agricultural
park, a half mile distant, two circuits
of the mile track at the park, return to
the university track, finishing with a
mile around the cinder path.
The university runners realize they
have a hard task before them to make
a creditable showing against the more
experienced Quaker athletes. None of
the Methodist runners has ever essayed
longer distance in competition than
two miles, while over half the number
of .aspirants entered have donned the
trunks for the first time this year.

Stanford, where the Methodist athletic
director arranged for intercollegiate
track meets to be held with the Palo
Alto institution in the spring. Two
meets will be held the first in this city
at the university oval. probably the
last Saturday in March, and the sec
ond affair to be run off at Stanford
early in April
In all probability the Methodist in
stitution will adopt the eligibility regu-
lations of Stanford and Berkeley, which
would place the local university upon
the same athletic basis with the latter
universities. The board of control Of
the Methodist institution yesterday
passed favorably upon the proposed
adoption of the eligibility rules anh
tomorrow the proposition will be
brought before the student body for
consideration, and the general senti-
ment of the students at large seems
strongly in favor of following the pre-
cedent set by the athletic board.
The salient features of the rules in
clude a one year residence restriction
for all students except freshmen, who
may compete at once. Any athlete
shall be eligible to compete who shall
be carrying ten hours of regular COL
lege work, special or preparatory stu
dents being included under this head.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-A. A. U. Off
cials are much pleased with the basket
ball situation in so far as it pertains
to the athletic clubs, Y. NJ. C. AS, col
leges and educational institutions The
colleges have in nearly every case de-
cided to play educational institutions,
and if they play outside games they will
meet only A. A. u. and Y. M. c. A.
teams.
The only college schedule that contains
a date with a professional team Is that
of the University of Pennsylvania, and
the officials of the Metropolitan asso-
citation have called the attention OF
George Orton, president of the Middle
Atlantic association, to this game, and
no doubt it will be Cancelled. If it is not
Cancelled the University of Pennsylvania
basketball team will disqualify itself
Stringent measures will now be taken
to insist that all club members of the
Metropolitan association shall play only
registered teams The officials are going
to clean up the basketball situation and
they will insist that A. A U. members
Of the association shall play amateur
basketball only.
The Metropolitan association has been
greatly strengthened this year by the
addition to it's membership of the Public
Schools A. L., which means that all tha
public and high schools will play reg
istered ball only. Settlements, Catholic
Athletic league, Military Athletic league
and others must insist that their teams
play only registered A. A. U. basketball
teams If they do not their connection
with the A. A. u. can be severed. The
following law will be strictly enforced:
General rules, rule 111-Any club II

which sanctions the competition of any
member or any team under Its club
name or its club emblem, In unregis-
tered sport or professional contest, OF
which persists in playing disqualified
athletes, or which permits professionals
to compete under it's auspices in any
competition in n sport over which the
A. A. u. assumes Jurisdiction where
such competition is announced as
competition between amateurs, shall be
liable to forfeit its membership in the
association.
Since the defeat on the gridiron OF the
Minnesota football team by the Chicago
aggregation the interest of the former
Mace has been turned to basketball, and
according to the reports good team is
expected to be forthcoming for the COM
ing season. Practice will start this
month and as five men who have won the
varsity letter are eligible for the team
this year, besides practically all of last
seasons freshman team, the prospects
are bright.
Reports from Chicago state that the
University of Chicago may apply for ad-
mission to the A. A. U. within the near
future. The athletic authorities at the
institution are said to be investigating
the matter and if it will not interfere
with their standing among the conference
colleges the application will in all prob
ability be made.
