WOULD SEPARATE THE

rEditor Heraldl-I see there is move

In Indiana we separated the saloon from

WINNING OARSMEN
HONORED BY CLUB
RENDERED RECEPTION BY l. A
Coach TreIoar Presented with Hand
some Locket-Sparring and Fence
+ Ing Provide Entertainment.
Function Is Exclusive

One Of the most enjoyable evenings ever
passed by the Los Angeles Athletic club
was last night at its reception to the
Senior Four rowing crew, which won the
San Diego regatta.
About 200 members were present, the
affair being an exclusive one, invitations
having been sent to members only. Re-
freshments were served and a program
of boxing and fencing sport filed the
evening very creditably until the time
for the speechmaking arrived.
Leo Guernsey in behalf of the club
thanked the crew for the splendid
achievement at San Diego, and mutual
admiration society, in which the crew
on one hand and Coach Treloar on the
other, were trying to pass up all credit
for the achievement ensued, which Gull
minated in the health of the oarsmen and
their coach being drunk in champagne
from the silver loving cup at San Diego.
Coach Treloar then was surprised by the
presentation of a handsome locket APP
propriately engraved.
-Four boxing bouts were put on. Prof.
Van Court arranged them so as to avoid
interrnissions. AS soon as one pair had
boxed their three minutes, the next
stepped in from the corners of the ring
while the first brace were resting. In
this manner the four bouts were pulled
off without a hitch Of any kind.
Joe Fratelli and WaIla Wheeler spared
at 118 pounds creditably and put up a
lively go. George Montgomery and ].
Jacoby went right to 1t in businesslike
style and were disposed to slug some. to
the evident delight of the crowd. But
the last two bouts were the features.
George Damron and Sam Coulter wal
loped right and left, and waded in in
professional style. setting the crowd on
tiptoe, and starting the cheers.
Jack Warrington and Cliff Reuman then
wound up at the middleweight limit with
as ciassy bout as anyone would wish
to see. Reuman is improving rapidly and
his showing was high class. He is big
youngster. rangy and clever, and will
prove hard to catch soon Warrington is
never in very good condition, but is clever
with his hands
At the conclusion of the boxing, Prof
Harry Maloney of Pasadena and Adju-
tant Henri Uyttenhove of the Belgian
army. fenced two bouts with the fol-
and duellng sword. Both were won by
the military man, who is official in
struetor of the officers of the Belgian
army In fencing. He displays marvellous
quickness and a thorough mastery of the
art Of fencing.

BIG SUPPLY OF COAL
NEEDED FOR FLEET
NAVY DEPARTMENT OPENS BIDS
FOR TRANSPORTATION
If Charges of Americans Are Con-
sidered Too High, Fuel May
Be Secured from
Wales
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Bids were
opened at the bureau of equipment of the
navy department today for the trans
porting and supplying of coal for use uf
the Atlantic battleship fleet during its
coming voyage to the Pacific coast in
December.
The proposals contemplate the ship
ment of supplies of this coal to be de-
livered at various points on the West
Indies. on the South American coast and
at Magda,ena bay, at Mare island and at
San Francisco on the Pacific coast of
North America.
Under one form of proposal bidders
were asked to submit estimates for
transporting $4,000 tons of American
-bituminous coal to be obtained by
the navy department from various North
Atlantic ports, either in American or for
eign bottoms.
The other proposal asked for estimates
for supplying 100000 tons of Welsh coal.
The department was anxious to obtain
the two sets of proposals so that If those
submitted for shipment of the American
coal in American or foreign bottoms were
exorbitant recourse might be had to the
offers for supplying the Welsh coal.
Secretary Metcalf is ,oath to charter
foreign bottoms for the shipment of the
American coal. but contends he has the
legal right to do so If the charges made
for transportation in American bottoms
are excessive. All along the officials have
asserted that there will be trouble In OBJ
tanning all the fuel needed.

COMMISSIONERS EXEMPT
LABORERS' REGISTRATION
Civil Service Rules That as Few APP
plicants Sign Books Now, Con-
tinuance of Registering Is
Useless Custom

The civil service commission yesterday
practically threw down the bars concern
ing registration of laborers for the water
department.
Registration has fallen off so rapidly
there that now only emergency men are
appointed, and the only purpose they
serve for the commission is to keep the
bookkeeping force busy. ~
In the past men have been certified by
scores from the books of the commission
as laborers for that department. They
would be employed a few days and
through the exigencies of the jobs per-
haps discharged soon after.
This recurrence of drafts on the COM
mission for more men and the discharges
made a voluminous system of records
each month, and Secretary Spalding
finally threw up his hands yesterday
Chairman John r. Haynes was per-
suaded that 1t would be good thing to
try the system of emitting registration
for laborers for a while.
Commissioner Edelman remarked:
II don't see why we can't dispense with
the custom here. What good does 1t do?
1--WE don't know the ability of the men
we certify No guarantee goes with the
certifcation. We can't investigate each
case.
IF there is any politics worked in the
water department they can work 1t to a
finish here We have no check"
The new rule of exemption will apply
only to water department laborers.

BOARD PUTS ouIETus ON
scHMlpT-WoLFF SCHEME

Efforts of friends of C. o. Wolff to
obtain a permit for him to open a
wholesale liquor store at $40 Central
avenue were futile before the police
board yesterday. the commissioners
turning down the application.
Violin recently gave bill of sale for
the goods at his former place, 22OS-10
Central avenue. for $500 to Paul
Schmidt. formerly in the liquor bust
ness in st. Louis. Cleveland and Los
Angeles, and Schmidt asked for the
new permit The board revoked Wolff's
former license.
The new location proposed is in a
three-s story frame building directly
opposite the main power house of the
Los Angeles Railway company. The
room is about twenty feet wide ana
ninety feet deep.
The applicant originally had an en-
tire frontage on both sides of the
street consenting, as the block in which
the place is located is only 220 feet
long, being from Easton to Wilde
streets, and is wholly owned by his
landlord, f. B. Wilde. The opposite
frontage is wholly owned by the Los
Angeles Railway company, which at
first consented.
Receipt of letter dater September
"a from General Manager Howard 70.
Huntington OF tne LOS AnSeieS ANa,4
way company, however, changed the
complexion of the case. Mr.. Hunting
ton wrote:
1.-The undersigned desires to with
draw from the petition for liquor
license on Central avenue near sixth
street, application for said license
being made by one Wolff.
"a further examination into the con-
ditions in that vicinity leads us to the
conclusion that another saloon in that
particular locality would be undesir-
able"
Taking the cue from this the COM
missioners said nay.
Police commits sioners yesterday also
granted a permit for a restaurant liquor
license to Manuel Ordoqui at 11Sh
South Spring street.

ARCADIA OR
ASCOT WHICH?
TWO TRACKS IN SOUTHLAND A
POSSIBILITY
If Supreme Courts Decision Is Not
Adverse, Old Course May Again
Welcome the GAL
Iopers

What is doing In the racing situation
In this section of the country? VIII there
be two tracks in operation, or Will the
courses divide dates, and race alternately
between them? And, then again, VIII AS
cot park be allowed to continue at all!
That is the situation which confronts
those interested in the sport of kings,
but the answer should be easy of solution
1t all rests with George Rose. If the
big bookmaker has sunk much real money
into Baldwins plant the Arcadia course
is go for sure, but IL he is not In
heavily then the old course, Ascot, which
Is still the property of the Los Angeles
Jockey club and Rose, may be the scene
of real racing in Los Angeles county.
This rests with the supreme court
Since the talk of the Arcadia track, and
the subsequent work to whip things into
shape for racing this winter, Ascot has
been overlooked entirely, but when an
swer to the appeal on the annexation
question was received 1t put different
face on things. 1t has been announced
that the higher courts would render a
decision next month, and the legal tai
ent interested is emphatic in the state
ment that the opinion of the justices
will undoubtedly favor Ascot and allow
racing to be continued at the popular
course.
Rose practically controls both Ascot
and Santa Anita, and it is probable that
If Ascot is again in good grace so far
as legal racing is concerned he will
see to it that both tracks have dates
allotted them by the Pacific Jockey club.
Nothing definite will be known Of the
whole business until the supreme court
justices render an opinion next month,
and In the meantime, the Los Angeles
Racing association will continue to rush
the work at Arcadia and give Superinten-
dent Allen full sway on his big job of
completing the track by December first.
Directors in the new association have
not been definitely chosen yet, but 1t Is
almost certain that in addition to the
others mentioned In the Herald, John
Brink and Colonel A. ". Hamilton will
be among those who have a voice in the
control of the enterprise.
All the stakes for the inaugural meet
ing have been announced, and 1t Is ex-
pected that by Friday the dates on which
these stakes will be run will be decided
on. The stake book will be out by Their,
and in 1t the dates will be mentioned.
