the public, the business use of
the enormous aggrcgatio. of corporate
wealth that are so marked d feature Of
the modern industrial world But the
present anti-trus. law, in its construction
and working has eXemplincd only too
we'll the kind of legislation which, under
the guisc of being thorough going is
drawn up in such sweeping form as to
become either ineffcc i've or else mis-
chicvous.
In the modern industrial world COM
binations are absolutely necessary; they
are necessary among business men, they
are necessary among tboring men. they
are becoming more and more necessary
among farmers. Some of these combina-
tions are among the most powerful of all
instruments for wrongdoing. Others offer
the only effective way of meeting actual
business needs. 1t is msChicvOus and
unnwholcsomc to keep upon the statute
books unmodificd u law, like the anti
trust law, whici, while in practice only
partially effective against vicious COM
bination, has never holcsS in theory
been construed so as swecpingly to pro-
hibit every combination resulted from
this law But the time has come when
it is impcrativ" to modify ii. Such modi-
fication is urgently neened for the sake
OF the business mon of the country. for
the sake Of the wage workers, and for
the sake Of the farmers. The Congress
can not afford to leave it on the statute
books in its present shape.

STORM BRINGS A
TOUCH OF WINTER
Snow in Sierras ChiIIs Breeze
That Fetcl1es Hail and Cold
to This City

Snow piled high in the Sierras, rain
squalls in the central coast region and
a chill breeze conspired yesterday to
give California momentary introduc-
tion to wintry weather. BY evening the
sun was shining, the whitened crest of
Tamalpais was streaking into the low
lands and the lofty mist was tinged
with deepening glow of gold.
''Seasonable and beneficial" remarked
Forecaster Alexander McAdie, as he
watched the smoky clouds scud to the
eastward. IT'S been a nice Storm .
he continued. as though speaking in
eulogy of some departed friend, and
it has been bearer of good to the
state"
BY an unusual circumstance the
storm, which came into being over
Puget sound, took a leisurely fight
toward the Atlantic, pausing while the
fag end of the atmospheric disturbance
drifted into California.
After stay within the borders of
the state the storm has passed to Colo
rado and Utah. If it plays the game
according to the rules laid down in
McAdie's office today should be clear
At Summit in the Sierra the fall of
snow amounted to Ill inches. This will
insure water for power and irrigation
purposes. Enough snow fell about the
bay to whiten the cap of Tamalpais. In

glistened on the walks during the aft

portunity to make a runaway" of IL

so timed that all the racers could
reach Seattle between March and 10.
when the boat to carry them across
the water would sail. 1t was under
stood that those not there when the
boat departed were disqualified,
When the bad roads and snow drifts
were struck a 'gentlemen's" agree
ment was entered into, whereby IL was
understood that every car should do its
level best until March or 6-just as
1t suited-and then cars should be sent
by train to Seattle.
On the presumption that this agree-
ment was still in effect the Germans
and the French did not hurry much
in reaching Chicago, figuring that they
could ship their cars from this city
They were. therefore, much chagrin ed
last night upon receiving cable in
structions to proceed 20 San Fran
cisco under their own power and take
a later boat out of San Francisco
The Frenchmen left Chicago today

Berger I~ satisfied with the coming

wanted in the first place. Sam was
trying hard to sign Nelson, but the
Battling Dane came too high for the
new promoter. Bat scoffed at Sam
when the latter pleaded. Seeing that
he could not get Nelson for this month,
Berger took Britt, who consented Will

tween Abe Atteu and Gerry DriscoiI

Attel has consented to box the Brit

reply today or tomorrow. Marisch
would like to bring the fight of next
month, but does not see his way clear.
Accordingly, if everything BREAKS right
for him, he will endeavor to bring the
two champions together on July 4,
probably in a daylight fight. Marisch
says he will offer Driscoll a substan-
tial guarantee if he comes to this coun-
try and agrees to box Attell.

of reforming the present Geary street

Academic athletic League
Quarrel VIII Be Settled
on Saturday

ALAMEDA. March 5.-Cary Troy.
Tim Perkins, r. P. Baker and DIR.
George c. 0. Thompson, principal of the
Alameda high school have been select
ed by the athletic association OF that
institution to represent the organiza-
tion at meeting to be held In the Oak
land high school building Saturday. al
which time the high schools on this
side of the bay will decide whether or
not they will continue to affiliate with
the Academic athletic league.
The athletic associations of the Oak
land Berkeley and Alameda high
schools have demanded of the manage
ment of the Academic athletic league
that the schools be allowed so per cent
of the gate receipts of all games In
which their athletes participate. Here
tofore the athletic teams have been al
lowed nothing from the admission pro-
eeeds and a request made to the direc-
torate of the Academic athletic league
recently that the athletic teams be
compensated was denied.
Delegates from the athletic associa-
tions of the three high schools named
met in Oakland last Saturday and after
a session of three hours were unable
to reach decision and deferred definite
action for one week. 1t is expected
that President A C. Skaife of the Aca-
demic athletic league will be in at
tendance Saturday. The demand of the
east bay high schools for 90 per cent
of the gate receipts will then be put
squarely UP to the head of the league
and If it is not granted the schools are
expected to withdraw from the or
ganizatien and form an independent
league.
The girls basket ball team of the
Alameda high school will play the
team of the Healdsburg high school in

local aggregation will consist of Miss
Emma Naber. Miss Irene Wood, Miss

POLICE CORPORALS
DRAW BIG FINES
May Go to the Courts to Escape
Paying an Assessment of
Sl00 Each

Heavy fines marked the meeting OF
the police commissioners last night
Policeman Tom Wren, who was charged
with unofficerlike cons uct, the COM
plant having been made by Mrs. c.
Lane, who declared he spoke to her in
a disrespectful and insulting ma ner,
was fined $50. This did not constitute
all of his troubles He was found
guilty also of neglect of duty in having
failed to ring in VIII lie on his beat and
was ordered to appear before Chief
Biggy this morning and receive an off,
clal hauling over the carpet.
The hand of the board fell heaviest
Oh the seven corporals who went over
its head and applied to the civil rv-
ice commission for a reduction of the
probation period in which to take
their examination for sergeants Each
was fined $10O, but the probability. is
that the case will be carried in the
courts, the claim of the corpol ais be-
ing that, inasmuch as the civil service
commission is the only body which has
the power to reduce the probation
period, they acted within their rights
in applying to the proper authorities.
John b. Berry, one of the corporals
had to answer to a second charge OF
neglect of duty In having failed to in
vestigate a complaint of robbery. This
was continued for a week.
Wallace f. Mcdonald was given a
week to file his answer to the charge
made by Kochos Brothers, grocers, who
complained that he extracted 81 fr, m
their till while selling them tickets to
dance. Owing to the poor showing
made by the prosecution ii is thought
the case will be dismissed.
The case of Szen Danielson, who was
made to appear to show cause why his
license for dance hall should not be
revoked (the charge being that he en-
gagged girl of Is as a waitres5t was
dismissed. Pearl Petersen, the girl
testified that she told Daniel on that
she was over Is years of age and as
her appearance warranted that belief
the commissioners dropped the charge
against the dance hall proprietor
The board gave an official and
severe wigging to Granville Llewelyn
an aspirant for the powers of special
policemen. for having stated that he
could get the position by paying $500
to Biggy. Lleweiyn excused himself by
saying that he received his information
from gentleman on streetcar."
