ALL IN READINESS FOR
BANK CLERKS MlNsTRELs

Final rehearsals have been held for the
Bank Clerks minstrels, in the Audi
torium tonight and almost all of the
seats have been sold. Few more persons
can be squeezed into the big theater, and
there Is no doubt that when the curtain
rises on the show tonight the house will
contain one of the biggest crowds In its
history.
George Towle says that he and his men
will give perfect show, and he ought to
know, for he has been rehearsing them
for a month. When he raises his baton
and the orchestra bursts. into the medley
of popular and negro airs which he has
welded together for the opening number,
1t ought to create a furore. There will
be 100 singers in the chorus, besides
twelve end men and w. w. Gibbs. Jr.. as
interlocutor, and the melody they make
will be startling. Numerous gags and
local hits and specialties will enliven the
program.
The olio will contain a sketch, 'Missis-

George Cohan's permission, a monologue

NO RESULTS FROM
COLLEGE MEETING
CONFERENCE DELEGATES FAIL
TO AGREE
Occidental snd U. S. c. Again Bury
Hatchet and Promise to Sign
Four-Year Binding
Agreement

Representatives of the five colleges Of
Southern California met in conference
yesterday afternoon to discuss the much
disputed question of eligibility. Some OF
the schools want to include their preps
as they cannot get up team without
them. Others have plenty of material
in their college students and are willing
to have their preps kept out. The gen.
eral result of the discussion on this point
resulted in an understanding that col
leges having less than seventy-five men
in the higher school would not be re-
quired to exclude preps.
Another point taken up was the resi-
dence clause. Some of the schools fa-
vored letting freshmen play Others
favored keeping new men out one seme-
ster, and still others believed the first
year men should be included for the en-
tire first year of their college course.
The colleges will meet again Wednesday
to continue the conference.
A big step towards solution of the ques-
tions under dispute was made when the
managers of the u. S. G. and Occidental
teams finally signed a dual agreement, to
be signed by the presidents of the two
universities today and to bind the two
colleges for four years.
The agreement is as follows:
Manager w. r. Crane of Occidental
college and Manager CARL Hunt of U. S.
c. hereby agree to recomniend) four
year agreement-th is. to bind their
respective institutions as regards the
eligibility of all athletic contestants. Be-
ginning September. 1908, all contestants
must be of college rank and all must be
in residence at least one year and pass
in twenty-four hours of college work
unless entering as freshmen for the first
time in an American college with at least
Of credits.
l"All other points shall be governed by
the agreement (called a conference agree
ment) made between Pomona and Q. G.

FOUL PLAY Y
is SUSPECTED
BODY or CHESTER SILENT is
FOUND IN LAKE
Searchers Worn Out In Efforts to
Follow Many clews Reported
from Many Parts of
Country

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. a.
The body of Chester D. Silent was dis
covered by two fellow students. II
was floating face downward in Felt
lake. Near 1t was a boat which is
usually moored at the shore. 1t is be-
lieved Silent went swimming and was
seized with cramps. However, he was
q powerful swimmer, and this leads
many to suspect that he was the VIC
tim of foul play"
This telegram was received yester-
day. When the news was telegraphed
to the office of Edward D. Silent he was
absent with the party which had been
searching all day yesterday In the
country surrounding Los Angeles In
hopes that the young man seen by ii.
M Hoke Saturday morning near the
Palms might prove to be young Silent.
The news was telephoned to Mr..
Silent at his home last night
Mr. Silent said he had received no
message from his father or mother,
who are in Palo Alto, confirming the
newspaper dispatches about finding the
body. He was worn out by his search
of yesterday and the effort of the pre-
ceding day, and he was greatly de-
as were all the relatives and friends of
the young boy.
The following message was received
from San Jose, Cal. yesterday:
SAN JOSE, Oct. 2.-The sheriff was
notified today that young man an
swering the description of Chester
Silent, the missing Stanford student;
was seen this morning near Los Gatos.
Deputies have gone to look for him.
Second Drowning
Felt lake is hidden among the hills
about two miles from the university.
1t is a small lake made by damming
UP q small ravine. The lake Is sur
rounded by tules and willows. Young
Silent is the second student who has
come to an untimely end in the treach-
erous waters of the little lake. Nearly
two years ago a young student, grad
uate of the Santa Ana high school,
went swimming in the lake and get
ting tangled up among the tulfes,
where he could not swim, was drowned.
What led Silent to go to Felt lake
when he had left his fraternity home
with the avowed intention of going to
San Jose to visit his mother is mys-
terry yet unsolved.
Since the death of the first student
who drowned in Felt lake the unfver-
sity students have avoided the place
In fact the Stanford authorities advise
all boys to keep away from the lake
because of the danger of getting tan
gled in the tules, where one can neither
swim nor float.
This consideration makes the friends
of Silent believe that he may have been
the victim of foul play. They say 1t Is
unlikely he would have wandered to
the lonely spot alone and gone swim
mining in the place avoided by all stu
dents unless he were out of his right
mind or was inveigled to the place by
enemies.
The parents of the unfortunate stu
dent will bring the body south with
them.

MANY CHANGES IN
NEW POPE TOLEDO
LOCAL AGENTS PREDICT GREAT
SPEED FOR CAR
Will Enter Aachine in All Contests
to Be Held Here Next Year.
Gun Metal for Trim
mings

Manufacturers of lie new 1908 Pope
Toledo believe they have winner in their
new creation. Local agents at the White
garage say 1t will be one Of the speediest
cars on the coast, and they intend to
enter it in all contests of whatever nature
may come Up in Los Angeles during the
coming year.
The 19uS Pope Toledo is to have many
departures, and perhaps more radical
changes from last year than any other
machine. One novel change will be in
the location of the gasoline tank, which
will be placed in the rear and beneath
the car, from where the gasoline will be
pumped into small reservoir over the
carburetor. Under the front seat space
will be arranged for two suit cases which
will be built in like dresser drawers, and
will be used for carrying articles of
clothing when on tours.
"A semi-splash oiling system will be
used, different from any oiling device
now in use. The machine will have
double ignition like many of the other
1908 model cars. The engine will be
cleaner and more accessible than in the
1907 machine.
The top brackets will be arranged so
that the top will be parallel with the
car when folded back. The metal around
the steering gears, valve levers, throttle
levers and the levers of the transmission
and brake will all be of gun metal. Many
dealers believe that gun metal and other
metals of somber color will displace gay
brass trimmings on machines of the
future. The brass looks nice enough when
clean, but as rule it is tarnished unless
daily attention is given to 1t.
Selective type of transmission of the
most improved model is to bo used on
the new 1908 Pope Toledo. The exact
horse power of the new machine is. not
given in the letter from the factory, but
1t will be in the neighborhood of so horse
power.
VIM r. Ruess, sales manager of the
White garage of this city, is now in the
east, where he is studying new 1908 pro-
ductions in automobiles. He will return
here about the middle of the present
month. He expresses himself as greatly
pleased with the new Pope Toledo, and
believes it will do wonders in the speed
line. The small Pope Toledo has been
out of the factory some time and dem
onstrator was received in Los Angeles
about a month ago Not one of the
large machines has reached the coast
yet, but a demonstrators is expected
shortly.

LACK OF CARS MAY
RUIN RAISIN GROWERS
Inability to Get Service on Railroads
Works Great Hardship to Orchard
lists and Farmers in San
Joaquin Valley
Bs Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
: FRESNO, Oct. 2.-Raisin packers are
confronted by car shortage, which is
said to be the most serious in the his
tory of the industry. This afternoon
the Fresno Bankers association held
meeting at which a letter was drawn
up to be forwarded to the railroad Of
fcials explaining the situation and
urging immediate relief. 1t is pointed
out that raisins are a commodity that
must reach the eastern market in time
for the Thanksgiving trade; otherwise
a large part of the crop is unstable.
A. Gartenlaub, president of the Pa
cific Coast Seeded Raistn company, said
the inability to get cars has checked
all buying activity and unless imme-
diate relief is obtained deliveries from
the growers mustJbe stopped. Raisins
this year have brought record break
ing prices and fully IS per cent of the
crop has been sold to the packers at
prices ranging from An to cents
pound. The price now is from to 51A
cents, but some of the largest growers
are holding for 6.

coRoNER's JURY TO DECIDE
If MURDER OR ACCIDENT
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Oct.
2.-The body of Chester Silent of Los
Angeles, the student who has been
missing from the university for the
past eleven days, was found this after
noon in Felt lake, three miles back of
the campus. The body showed evil
dence of having been in the water for
some time and hasty examination re-
vealed that the skull was fractured.
Whether this was the result of acei-
dent or of a murderous blow will be
determined by the coroner's inquest.
The body was found floating face
downward and an empty rowboat was
drifting along the opposite shore. The
theory advanced now is that young
Silent had gone out shooting and either
accidentally shot himself or had fallen
out of the boat while hunting. The
theory is borne out by the absence of
his shotgun from its usual place in his
room. The gun, however, has not been
found.

RIOTERS FOR
RUGBY GAME
CLUB TO WITNESS
CONTEST IN BODY
Cardinal Supporters Plan Luncheon to
Precede Saturdays Contest.
castaways Expect to
Hold Own

Members of the Stanford University clut
will hold their regular luncheon at the
Cafe Bristol Saturday. October 8, at12:SO
and in addition to the regular program
will receive the members of the Stanford
rugby team which will be here on that
date to play game with the Los Angeles
Castaways.-
After the luncheon the Stanford men
will accompany their team to Fiesta
park, marching out in a body behind the
bunch. They will assemble in the same
section of the bleachers at the park In
order to cheer for the Cardinal players.
All Stanford men are urged to be pres
ent at the luncheon, and If not possible
for them to attend the luncheon they
should be sure to attend the game, which
will commence at 2:30 in Fiesta park.
Stanford has had the advantage of
several weeks training over the local
team, which was only organized two
weeks ago. The Castaways think they
will be able to hold their own against the
northern team, however, and believe they
will be able to score against the col
legians The local team has number Of
old experienced rugby players in the line
up, as we'll as several well known players
of the old American game of football.
They are lacking in team work, but with
the practice they are getting daily they
will probably hold together fairly we'll for

Several Changes Made

In last Saturdays game with Polytech-
mic high school the serum of the Cast
aways was particularly weak. Several
changes have been made in the lineup of
the forwards and some of Polytechnic's
best men will most likely find place in
the serum when the team lines up against
Stanford.
In their practice games the Castaways
have been considerably handicapped be-
cause of their inability to get regular
rugby ball to play with. The entire ship
ment of rugby balls to this coast was
taken by Stanford and the University of
California. More were ordered from the
east some time ago but have not arrived.
The oblong footballs used in the old game
are very irregular in the way they bounce
and cause players no end of trouble to
get hold of them.
The lineup of the Stanford team has not
been definitely announced as yet, but 1t
wifi probably be nearly the same that
played against the San Francisco Bar
barians AT that time the lineup was as
follows:
Koerner, Rhyme, Minturn, Pemberton,
Crawford, Thorpe, Reynolds, forwards;
Miller, wing forward Henley, half; Vail
and Ganong, fives; Vandervoort, center;
Owen and Cook, wings; Fenton full.
The Castaway lineup has not been an
nounced. The coming contest promises
to be lively one and well worth seeing.
