METHODIST FREsHiEs
BEAT HARVARD SO TO 1s

The freshmen basketball team of the
University of California played the fast
Harvard school five yesterday afternoon
en- the Military school court, the Metho-
dists winning by the score of 06 to Is. II
was the first venture of the babies" In
green pastures and the result was big
surprise to the enthusiasts, for the same
Harvard aggregation had defeated the
u. 8. c. sophomore five the week pre-
vious, and the latter team was consider ed
rar superior to the freshmen squad.
Hall and Colonious, aided by Hender-
son, were largely responsible for the
freshie victory and played together in
great style. Nearly every player on the
freshmen team has had more or less ex-
perience playing on prep school fives, bu:
the team as whole lacked cooperation.
Realizing that Individual glory and efforts
must be blended into team work, the
babies" forgot their prep school reps
long enough to make score of 36 points,
and the victory was assured.
Harvard commenced the game with a
rush and scored twice before the visitors
got the combination. After that, play
was even throughout the first half, the
score being 16 to IA In favor of the Metho-
dists. The 1911 men then got together,
worked almost q shut-out game on the
cadets and annexed twenty additional
tallies before the close of the last period.
Fouls were frequent on both teams, prob
ably due to lack Of practice and again
by the football tactics of the visitors.
Two of the freshie five are members OF
the scrub football team of the university,
and occasionally forgot the requirements
of the basket game.
Fowler, Stall and Mitchell played the
best game for the cadets and forced the
game from the start, only appearing 10
disadvantage when the superior wind of
the visitors enabled them to take the
initiative.
Harvard will play return game with
the U. s. c. sopomore team on the uni
versity court Thursday afternoon, and
the second contest between the two squads
should furnish a most interesting affair.
Both teams have had considerable team
practice since their first setto and should
play a much faster game The sophs Will
line up about as follows: Osborne and
Swantek, forwards; Schieber and Wirsch-
ing, guards; Richard, center.

NEW ORDINANCE AGAINST
SEWER FISH EFFECTIVE

Il find the new county ordinance,
passed during my absence, prohibiting
the sale of fish caught within a mile of
the outfall sewer outlet or the catching
of fish in nets within that limit is won
derfully effective" said Game Warden
Morgan yesterday afternoon.
The ordinance in question was passed
only a few weeks ago but seems to have
reached every one of the immense crowd
that used to fish at the outlet of the sew
er at Hyperion. Word was sent to Game
Warden Morgan that certain Japanese
were still drawing their nets at night
within the prohibitory limit where the
fish flock to feed upon the materials dis
charged from the city sewer.
Saturday night Mr.. Morgan hustled
down to the beach but his car broke down
and he did not get there until late and
there were no fishermen to be found He
went again Sunday morning and to his
surprise not even the rod and reel fish
ermen, who always flock to the pier OH
Sunday, were visible. 1t is permitted to
fish with rod and line so long as the fish
caught are not offered for sale, but NO
one took advantage of the privilege.
Apparently the fishermen at that point
did not know that the fish caught there
were likely to be unsanitary and were
glad to give up fishing there as soon as
the action of the county supervisors made
known the objection to such fish.
Morgan reports that the Japanese fish
ermen who have been located for some
time in that neighborhood catching the
tainted fish for the Los Angeles market
are preparing to move away and have al
ready begun to tear down their shacks

of the Illinois Central railroad today re-
opened the active campaign for proxies

ing of the railroad company on December

the facts regarding the procuring of an
Injunction by Stuyvesant Fish restrain
ing the voting of certain shares of stock,
he says:
'Of course, If Mr.. Fish's claim that

Illinois corporations will suffer disastrous
loss and all persons interested as policy
holders or stockholders in such compa-

In the second circular President Hara-
han says: Effort has been made to
create the impression that since ar
Fish was retired as president the Illinois
central Railroad company has undergone
an entire change of management. rms
Ia not true The traffic arrangements
with the Union Pacific and Southern
pacific railroads now in force are those
which were made. when Mr.. Fish was

SAYS ADAMS TOLD HIM
OF NUMBERING TYLER
By Associated l cess.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 12.-Bulkley
Wells, former adjutant general of the
state militia of Colorado, occupied the
witness stand in the Steve Adams trial
at Rathdrum, Idaho, this afternoon. He
testified to his having seen Adams on
May 27, 1906, at Orchard, Idaho, on the
Oregon Short Line about thirty miles
from Boise City. He went there to
meet him to go to Colorado with him.
adams told the witness of a number
of crimes in which he had participated.
They had some conversation at that
time in reference to crimes in the st.
Joe country in Idaho, the killing of a
man named Tyler and a man named
Boule. No one but Adams and the
witness was present during this con-
versation. Witness positively stated
that at that time or prior to that time
he had offered no immunity or reward
to Adams to make the statei ent to
him nor did he make any threats to
Adams.
Nothing of Importance was brought
out on the cross examination. On re-
direct examination witness said he
found the body of Barney at Telluride
just where Adams had mapped 1t out
for him..
Adams confession deals with prelimi-
nary talk about the proposed assassina-
tion of Governor Steunenberg. This talk
had occurred shortly after the dynamiting
of the depot at Independence in 1904. 1t
was about month after that that Adams
started for Idaho. The conversation had
taken place in Pettibones back room, and
besides Adams there had been present
Haywood and Pettibone.
The confession continues: "They just
told me to go up and see Simpkins, as he
wanted to see me, and he would probably
tell me about the Steunenberg matter, as
they wanted to get Stemenberg."
Ibid you get any money!"
'They gave me 5000 to go up there on" :"
''Who gave you the money!"
George Pettibone."

HUNDREDS MOURN
CHARLES j. ELLIS
BODY is NOT MOVED FROM
BOSTON
Founder Of Famous Club, Musician,
Jurlst, Scholar, Leaves lnnumer.
able Frlends-Strlcken on
Return from Europe

The announcement of the death of
Charles James Ellis brought sorrow to
hundreds in Los Angeles. Few citizens of
Southern California had more warm
friends or a larger circle OF acquaintances
than the founder of the Ellis club.
His body is still in Boston, the city of
his birth, where the veteran jurist was
stricken. A sudden attack of appendi-
citis necessitated an operation from which
he failed to rally.
Mr.. Ellis took a prominent part in the
affairs of Los Angeles from the time of
his arrival, in the '70s, until his departure
for European tour three months ago,
although for the last six years hs had not
practiced his profession.
He was a graduate of Harvard and his
progress in the legal world after he be-
came associated with his father, upon be-
ing admitted to the bar, was rapid. He
attained position of pre-eminence among
Latin and Greek scholars and was an ac-
complished musician.
Two daughters, Misses Katherine and
Bessie Ellis, and Mrs. Ellis survive him.

DEFEAT M0NR0VlA HIGH

Los Angeles high school defeated Mon
rovia high in one of the best games OF
basketball ever played on the local courts,
the score being 27 to q. The Monrovia
team is strong and has had victorious
career up to the game yesterday. The
team played a. strong game during the
first half, but seemed to weaken toward
the end of the second period. The star
player of the team was Freeze, who did
most of the basket work.
The boys of the blue and white all
played their regular strong game, with
two exceptions, Bristol and King. Bris-
toll injured his arm in the senior foot
ball game and did not play up to his
best mark. King played better than
anyone else on the courts. He is won
der on basket work, being able to put
the hall in from any position. He scored
all the baskets but two.
The lineup was as follows: Monrovia-
Freeze and Harvey forwards; Scorbor-
ougn, center; Whitaker, and Salisbury,
guards. Los Angeles-Bristol and Carter,

soon be a first teamer
Manager Howard returned from the
north yesterday, where he tried to ar
range a game with the northern cham
