RAILROADS MAKE CONCESSION
Will Issue Mileage Books Good OF
Roads-New Superintendent

OLYMPIA, March 17.-Mileage
books for 1900 miles at two and
one-half cents a mile good on any
road in the state, will shortly be
issued by the transcontinental roads
operating in the state, as the result
of meeting held in Seattle between
the railroad commission of Washing
ton and representatives of the lead
ing roads, says the Olympian. The
railway commission made public for
the first time the fact that they had
prepared new rules governing the
sale of passenger tickets in this state,
and these rules were read to the rep
resentatives of the roads. The rail-
roads assented to that portion pro-
viding for the issuance of mileage
books interchangeable on any road,
but asked for further time to consid-
er other rules presented by the COM
mission.
The adoption of universal mileage
has been demanded by the CONNER
cial travellers for years. Under the
present system it is necessary for
them to purchase mileage on all
transcontinental roads or else the
regular 8 cents mile. The conces-
sion on the part of the railroads will
be considered an important one.
At the meeting yesterday all of
the members of the commission were
present, including Jesse Jones, the
new member. The railroads were
represented by B. S. Grosscup, gener-
al counsel, and Vice-President Levy
of the Northern Pacific; L. c. Gilman
council for the Great Northern; j.
D. Farrell, and General Passenger
Agent Adams of the o. R. & N.
The railway commission yesterday
announced the appointment of A. w.
Perley of Colfax to be superintendent
of tracks, position created by the
last legislature. Mr.. Perley is To-
connective engineer and is the oldest
engineer in point of service in the
state, having been employd on the o.
R. & N. for years. He is chairman of
the republican central committee of
Whitman county.

MORRIS AND ROWE
CIRCUS ARRIVES
is ONE OF coUNTRY'S FIVE Big
GEST SHOWS
Many Attractions offered-Engage-
ment Here to Last Three Days.
Half Thousand Persons
In Exhibition
Observation-Disclosures

The greater Norris & Rowe circus ar
rived in this city early yesterday morn
ing. Long before the citizens of this city
had taken breakfast the work of trans
ferring the vast amount of circus property
had been completed and good sized town
had sprung up in Praeger park. IL has
been two years since this circus has VS.
tied this city, during which time it has
grown in size and Importance, until 1t is
now recognized as one of the five of the
great tented amusement enterprises OF
this country.
There are over 500 persons with the cir
Gus and it requires over 800 horses to
handle the tremendous amount of para
phernalia and dens of rare animals. The
engagement in this city Is for three days,
the first performance to take place this
afternoon.
Among this seasons special attractions
are the flying Banvards, the Pizini family
of aerialists, the Macdonald family OF
bicyclists, the Honey-Mora troupe of
aerial bar performers, George Holland,
Frank Miller, John Deere, Edward flo
quinn and Herbert Rumley, sensational
bareback and jockey riders; Rose Dock
rell, Edna Marietta, Mile. Fluti and
Madame Burki, sommersault and bare
back riders; Ben Lucier and his backward
drops from a giant golden ladder; George
Dressler and his herd of performing ele-
uhants; Herr Romanoff and his Siberian
bears in an amusing act; Herbert Rum
ley and his Arabian stations, and the
worlds greatest acrobat, Mickey Fealey.
This agile fellow does the almost In
creditable thing of turning a complete
double sommersault from the bare
ground. There will be no street parade.

AUTO CLUB ROAD BOOK q
TO BE ISSUED THIS WEEK

The road book of the Automobile Club
of Southern California will be issued this
week. 1t is a very tasty production with
blue linen cover embossed in three colors.
1t contains thirty-two pages of matter of
interest to every motorist. In 1t is a COM
plete copy of the state law on the subject
of speeding, rules of the road and high
ways. There is also copy of the city
ordinance relative to automobiles.
One part is devoted to instruction as to
how to get in and out of all towns on the
regular routes of automobile travel de-
scrlbed in the volume.
There are seven routes which are fully
described and have been marked by the
signs of the club.
Route one is to Riverside, the next three
are beach runs, number five is to Santa
Barbara, six to San Diego via the inland
road and seven is to San Francvisco. An
excellent map is given for the guidance
of the tourist showing all of the towns
on the various routes.
One chapter is devoted to the routes to
be taken to reach the old missions and is
especially valuable, as the old landmarks
are in many cases off the main road Of
travel and not easily found.
Every place that is passed through on
any of the routes described is indicated
as to whether 1t is possible to obtain gas
oline or accommodations of any kind.
The information has been very careful
ly compiled and is invaluable and men,
bership in the club puts the member in
possession of data that are almost i'm
possible to obtain otherwise. Club signs
have been placed on nearly every road in
Southern California and extend as far
north as Fresno

Hoegees 8, EdIsons 4

The Hoegees and Edisons opened the
Winter leagues season in Los Angeles
with fast game of baseball at Chutes
park yesterday, although each team drew
three breaks.
Several athletic contests were pulled off
before the game started In the target
event for catchers M. Hoff, of the Edi-
sons, won first prize, and in the long dis
tance throw w. Cornett also of the Edi-
sons, was winner by 1886 feet. Bill Gam
BILE, of the Hoegees, circled the bases In
the base-running contest in IA 2-5 seconds.
In the fungle hitting contest Roy Sayler,
of the Edisons, won.
The game was fast and snappy through
out, and there were several brilliant in
dividual plays. Snodgrass made great
catch of a foul up against the left bench.
Nichols practically lost the game for
the Hoegees by throwing the sphere over
the first baseman's head with two Edi-
sons on base, both scoring by the error.
Pat Williams of the st. Vincent's, UNI
pired an excellent game.

INTERRUPTION SAVES
ROBBERS VICTIM $500
After Taking $75 from H. c. stilweII,
HoIdup Men Run, Leaving
Watch and Larger
Loot

H. C. Stilwell, driver for the Anchor
laundry who lives at !719 South Los An
geles street, was held up and robbed
within half block of his home a few
minutes before 10 o'clock last night.
Stilwell had been to the laundry and
was on his way home. Near the corner
of Eighth street he noticed two men
standing and as he came opposite them
one of the men leveled revolver at him
and ordered him to throw up his hands.
While the first man kept him covered
with the revolver the second searched his
pockets and secured SIS in gold Foot
steps were heard approaching about this
time and the two men turned and ran.
The interruption saved Stilwell his
watch and nearly 5000 in money and
checks which he had in his hip pocket.
The robbers were described as long
and short man, both smooth-shaven and
dressed in dark clothing. Detectives
Ritch and Roberds were assigned to the
case.

THREE YANKEES NOMINATE 27
TO COP FRENCH CLASSIC

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-The Grand Prix
de Paris of 1909 will be the richest turf
event in the world. 1t will be worth $780,
600. For this prize twenty-seven colts
and fillies, now yearlings, have been NOM
mated by three Americans. W. X. Van
derbilt, Perry Belmont and August Bel
mont.
This stake is the blue ribbon race oftthe
French turf. In order to stimulate breed
ing of high class horses that the army
may get the benefit of 1t in the shape of
fine mounts for the cavalry and artillery
the French government permits the city
of Paris to donate $4,000 to the race.
Bookmaking is not permitted on the
French turf All the betting done on the
tracks is by aid of the mutual system,
which was in vogue in this country
twenty years ago. The amount of money

parts as there are tickets sold on the
winning horse after per cent is deduct
ed. OF this latter sum part soes to the
racing association and portions to the

FACULTY PRUDES HAVE
MURDERED THE BADGERS
Bunch of strait-Laced Lizzies Respon-
sibIe for Reducing the Once Ter
ribIe Wisconsin to a Laugh
Ing Stock

A few years ago the Wisconsin univer-
sity football team was looked up to with
pride by all the students and alumni
throughout the west, but today most of
them look on with pity and wonder when
poor old Wisconsin will be put upon the
shelf entirely. They have hope STILL but
even that Is fast disappearing, and they
are fearful of the time when they will
be obliged to say Eyes, the Badgers are
dead as far as football is concerned, but
there was a time when the name was
feared by all the big universities. How
ever, we still are allowed to play tennis
and marbles" Under the present sys-
TEN the Badgers have been reduced to
the same basis as the secondary colleges
In the state and games should be ar
ranged with Ripon, Beloit, Marquette and
Lawrence. instead of Chicago, Minnesota
and Michigan. Purity in athletics may
be all right, but there is such thing as
going to extremes, and that seems to be
the case with the Wisconsin faculty.
They have done everything in their power
to hamper the boys, and they might
as we'll go farther and cut it out entirely
Then Madison could truly be called
the football graveyard of the west"
At Madison last week an elderly gentle
man who came from up in the state to
see his son play asked one of the stu
dents on the street where all the usual
enthusiasm was and why the usual deco
rations were so lacking. "Why, my dear
man." said the student, I'VE all want
to root and show our loyalty, but really
if we make too much noise we are liable
to be arrested for disturbing the peace"
whereupon the old gentleman muttered
something about how tired they made
him and wandered away. 1t is safe to
say that big majority of the students
and alumni feel the same way. One of
the graduates remarked. "Oh, for the re-
turn of Phil King and John Fisher!

great team. Profiting by a defeat, 1t
came back In a manner that spoke vol
umes for condition and for the spirit
behind Corn~-l sports. The advance that
the Ithaca university has made in re-
cent years in all college athletics has
been slow, but It has been an advance
in the nature of solid ground work for
the future that is to be a bright one In
the history of collegiate sports.
Cornell keeps her pace, asking for no
recognition except that which her
strength and merit must give her among
the eastern colleges. Her development
as a university cannot be laid in any
way to her advance In sports, but her
has been along the healthy and
sound line of well balanced develop
ment.
Indians Surprise
Carlisle has surprised a. great many
by her mastery Of the new game and
the snap and dash with which the
team has played, but the Indians were
never TO be despised on the gridiron.
Frank Mount Pleasant as field gen.
eral is all that could be asked. He
combines, like many successful quar-
terbacks, the ability to do things him
self with the ability to drive an eleven
at top speed. and he is a wonderful
player at all times.
Green Over Crimson
Among the New England colleges,
game between Dartmouth and Brown
which is not to be played this year owing
to the inability of the student bodies to
get together on some compromise basis,
seems necessary to determine supremacy
IN the group of teams. Each is very
strong, and has come out of the games
with other colleges of their class in
New England with victories to their
credit Dartmouth is to meet Harvard
November 16 and the green has aimed
to have her team in top notch condition
for the contest.
Williams has shown strength but has
had to undergo a series Of defeats, and
Amherst by her showing against Dart
mouth would seem to be worthy rival
for the Brown team later on.
For the development of the army and
navy teams one has but to look at the
games which they have played to see
how steadily both have advanced. The
for hard struggle at the end
of the season were never surer. Both
are playing good football, and are in
the hands of efficient coaches.

PERCENTAGE OF AUTO
USERS KILLED is SMALL

Statistics prove that the percentage OIL
people killed or injured compared with
the number of those who ride in automo-
biles is remarkably small.
There are owned in this country more
than 2O3. $50 automobiles. careful rec
ord shows that in 80 days only 80 people
in all parts of the country were killed.
These 2O3,6S automobiles have, of
course, drivers, and may carry several
other persons, bringing the percentage
of people killed to the number that use
them down to very small fraction
certainly small, as compared to the num-
ber killed by trolley cars, wagons ana
railroads.
In a return of fatal accidents upon the
highways furnished to the House of
Commons, it appears that "a people
were killed in 1905 by traction engines
and steam rollers, and % in 1906. Having
regard to the limiteI number of these
vehicles upon the roads and the small
mileage they traverse, it will be found
that the death rate per 10000 miles trav-
eIad is greatly in excess of the CORES
nonding figure for motor cars.

ITAL Y DEMANDS
RETURN OF RELICS
PRESSURE FROM GOVERNMENT
OF U. S. HINTED
Valuable Mosaics and Vase Taken
from Roman Excavations Are
Now in Possession of
w. M. Milne

Threatening to involve the United
al character two small bits of stone and
piece Of pottery, property of an Angel
emo, lie hidden in a safety deposit vault
of one of the Los Angeles banks.
The relics were taken by w. M. Milne
of 6O6 South Spring street in 1903 when
he and his wife were making a tour of
the world. Now the italian government
is communicating with him and seems
bent on securing them.
Most valuable of the collection is a
small piece of mosaic. 1t was taken from
the court room of the Palace of the Yes
tai Virgins at Rome, built long before
the Christian era. The little piece of
stone is worn smooth where the bare feet
of the virgins passed over 1t for several
centuries. The order of the Vestals was
established B. G. 1894.
The excavations which were being un-
dertaken when Mr.. and Mrs. Milne were
in Rome were under the direction of the
Italian government. Mr. Milne secured
the specimens from an Italian working
man. who parted with them for a few sill
yer pieces.
Similar pieces of mosaic are displayed
In the National Museum of Rome and the
Italian government Is anxious to secure
all the relics from the ancient ruin to
complete its collection. Strenuous meas
ures have been adopted by the Italian
government recently to prevent foreigners
carrying away relics and tourists are
now excluded from all excavations where
relics are likely to be found.
The excavations being carried on by
the Italian government commenced in
1870 They are now under the auspices of
Giocomo Boni, director general Of exca-
vations. The latter has been correspond
ing with Milne with regard to the recov-
cry of the mosaics and choice vase
which Milne secured from a workman
who was engaged in the excavation of
the palace of Emperor Caligula. He dis
played few pieces of money and the la
borer handed over the vase. An officer
saw the act, however, and took the relic
away from the American tourist. Upon
examination he found the vase to be
broken around the top. Material induce
ments fixed matters, and Mr.. Milne
walked away with the vase securely hid
den under his arm.
The vase was one of set and is the
only one missing from the collection in
the Italian National museum. Boni would
be glad to purchase the vase but Mr..
Milne has no idea of parting with 1t. He
declares it should be in one of the Ameri-
can museums.
There has been intimation that pres
sure would be brought through the United
States government to have the relic taken
back to the place of its origin.
Mr.. Milne also has a small piece OF
black mosaic taken from the outer court
of the Temple of the Virgins. While not
as valuable as the other two pieces this
is probably worth several hundred dol
lars.
