National Steel and Wire.

The affairs of the National Steel X Wire company were represented by Attorney Hartman as being still un- settled in the superior court yester- day. There was a motion pending in the court asking that the receivers, eXSherff A. P. Durham of this city and Harold Nathan, be discharged. but Judge Joel II. Reed refused to enter an order to that effect after 1t was stated that there were a number of assets in the form of suits in the courts to recover over $600,000 in claims that are still pending. The liabilities of the company amount to $I500,000, and the assets are over this amount if the suits in the courts are prosecuted to successful conclusion. One of the suits is against the Nation al Foundry company for S400,080 and the other for $200,000 against the National Wire corporation. Both of these claims are for money advanced.
 Judge Reed complied with the re- quest ordering the clerk to strike the matter from the calendar list and file it for further reference.
 Albert B. Durham and Harold Ma then are the receivers for the National Steel & Wire Co.

PARK SECRETARY WRITES
HE is READY TO RESIGN
Mayor Regrets Action Taken by coun-
Gil and Does Not See His Way
Clear to Accepting
Offer

SANTA MONICA. Nov. 14.-Mayor
T H. Dudley is in receipt of a COM
munication from Secretary of the Park
Commission e. H. Sweetser, in which
the latter expresses himself as ready
to resign If it is the pleasure of the
mayor.
The secretary takes occasion in the
letter to express his appreciation of
the kindnesses shown him by his
honor throughout his administration.
Mayor Dudley stated to a correspon-
dent that he regretted the action Of
the members of the council in asking
for the resignation of Mr.. Sweetser, but
did not see his way clear to ask for
the same Said he "Sweetser has
done some very efficient work for the
city while on the park commission
and all without one cent of remunera-
ton. l have made any number of in
quiries among the citizens, and, In
stead Of censuring him, they are all
inclined to pat him on the back.
"At present the trouble seems to
narrow down to personal dispute
between the commissioner and the
chairman of the finance committee,
arising over a difference of opinion as
to the disposal of park funds.

WIRES HE HAS BEEN SHOT
AND DETECTION FOLLOWS

PASADENA, Nov. 14.--capt. w. R.
Harvey, aged So, said to be a veteran
of the Civil War, was arrested here
tonight by Detective Schultz and Dep
uty Constable Bush of Lamanda Park.
He is said to have been working Los
Angeles and Pasadena with a sub
scription list asking for money on be-
half of the widow of a soldier who
was represented as about to be sent
east. He is said to have posed as a
secret service man and thus to have
obtained considerable sums in both
Pasadena and Lamanda Park.
Harvey is said to have been un-
masked owing to the fact that he had
an appointment with a Lamanda Park
woman which he found himself unable
to keep. He therefore wired the wo-
man that he had been shot while in
the discharge of his duty, and she
went to Los Angeles to investigate,
as he had informed her that he had
been taken to one of the hospitals
there. Failing to find any trace of
him she communicated with the secret
service headquarters in Los Angeles,
and the real state of the case was dis
closed.
The case, it is said will be turned
over to the secret service bureau.

CHRISTENS NEW DREDGER
WlNDHAM WITH CHAMPAGNE
Wine Used at Launching Instead OF
Cold Water, Which Beach citi-

LONG BEACH, Nov. 14.-That the
christening bottle contained real cham
pagne seemed to strike a number OF
people at the first launching at Craig S
ship plant this afternoon as one Of the
most interesting facts pertaining to the
big event.
The big dredger hull, ITO feet long
and 80 feet wide, built entirely of steel,
slid into the water gracefully at just
2: 80. President Craig himself giving the
word for the chopping of the cables.
The trips worked perfectly and great
cheer went up from the 1900 people
gathered near the harbor.
The mayor of Long Beach, G. ii.
Windham was astounded this after
noon to find that the dredger had been
named for him. This honor was unex-
pected, the men at the shipyard having
kept it a secret. Little Miss Marta
Windham, the mayors daughter, chris
tened the vessel.
1t generally had been supposed cold
water" would be in the christening
bottle.
"Not on your life" said one of the
officials. We've never used water at
christening of a vessel and we don't
propose to here.
The construction of a big ocean-going
tug will start at the Craig yards at

RIVAL ALUMNI HOLD
BANQUET TOGETHER
ANNUAL GRlDIR0N GAME is
CELEBRATED JOINTLY
Three Hundred sedate Graduates Of
State and Stanford Universities
Make Merry with Laugh
ter and Song

Three hundred alumni of the Univer-
sity of California and Stanford uniyer-
stiles made merry with laughter and col
lege songs at Levy's cafe last night in
Joint banquet, held to celebrate the
annual football game between the two
institutions, and also to promote good
fellowship.
While this banquet is an annual af-
fair with the two local clubs of alumni
last night is the first time the two or
ganizations have held a joint meet
ing. Since their foundation the two
universities have been spirited rivals on
the athletic field, and no other athletic
event of the year arouses so much in
terest on this coast as does the annual
football game between the cardinal
and blue and gold, held alternately on
the University of California and STAN
ford fields.
That a broader spirit of good fellow
ship should be cultivated among the
alumni of the rival institutions is the
idea which prompted the leaders of the
two clubs to arrange joint banquet
after this years contest. Many MEM
bers of both clubs predicted the meet
ing would be a failure because Of the
fear of offending each other might put
damper on the usual flow of good
fellowship. But nothing was further
from the truth.
The Stanford men assembled at one
table and the University Of California
men at another. Each took turns sing
ing their college songs, giving their col
lege yells and passing good natured
banter between the tables of the rival
universities. Then the stunt men
| turned loose. Some executed clog
dances. some sang and some recited
comic dialogues.
Most Interesting of all the events OF
the evening was the graphic depletion

execute a serpentine dance through the

Outside Concerns, Warning Them
Not to Purchase Sup

OCEAN PARK, Nov. 14.-City Health
Ofiicer Kendall has served notice on the
Imperial Ice company and H. Michaels
of the Santa Monica Creamery COM
pany, informing them that no milk
must be purchased from a number Of
small dairymen who have not complied
with the law regarding the inspection
of milk
When asked regarding the order Dr.
Kendall said "The order must not be
construed as any reflection on these
firms, for as a matter of fact they have
given us every possible aid in enforcing
the new milk ordinance. There are,
however, a number of small dairymen
who are outside of cur jurisdiction and
sell their milk to the larger firms. The
only way we can compel them to sub
nit to the regular inspection is by re-
fusiug to pass the milk that they de-
liver to these firms.
ION the whole the dairies are helping
the department in enforcing the in
spection order, and have nothing but
praise for the proprietors of the large
herds, who have been compelled to
spend large sums for the inspection of
their CATTLE"

OF CALIFORNIA
Fifteen Thousand Visitors Attend
First Night of Big Show on
Main Street and Enjoy
the Novelties

Fifteen thousand was the estimated
crowd at the opening night at the
Made-in-California exposition.
Manager Toby Newman and his aids
were surprised at the outpouring, as
were Mayor A. c. Harper and the city
councilmen who attended the opening
exercises.
The entire front of the structure on
Main street was ablaze with electric
lights, and about 5000 more were IN
place inside the exhibition halls.
Mayor Harper pressed the button
which set the machinery in motion,
making a brief address.
Most of us who have been here long
know Southern California from scenic
and climatic standpoint" said the
mayor, "but few realize that We are
a producing community, too. We are
equal to many of the older communl-
ties in the east, where factories, work
shops and places of industry have been
in operation for generations
'sThe exposition here will open your
ewes to the material greatness of Cali
fornia and her future possibilities.
With that he touched the button
which connected all the power ma
chimes with the current, and the whirr
of the machinery signaled the starting
of the 1908 show.
The Royal italian band gave con-
tinuous concert while the cooking
school proved an attraction for every
body.
All of the exhibitors gave away sam
pies, souvenirs and printed matter, and
the entertainment kept the throngs
there till midnight.
The theater was crowded to capacity
at each hourly performance.

ARMED TO TEETH
ACCUSED OF CONSPIRING TO

Share of Profits on All
Highway Robherles

Two men, believed by the police to be
more than ordinarily dangerous to the
public veal. are locked up in the small
tank at the city Jail with suspicion
booked opposite their names.
The prisoners We're arrested in re-
sort on East First street, between Main
and Los Angeles streets, by Patrolman
James Harrison shortly after noon yes
terday. When searched at the central
station they were found to be armed
with revolvers and knives, and to have
between them 300 rounds of ammuni-
ton for their revolvers. They also had
in their possession four watches, two
rings and a pair of gold-rimmed eye
glasses, which are believed to have
been stolen.
The arrest of the men was brought
about by their proposition to a third
man to enter with them into game of
holdup, and his report to the police
of this fact.
Roy Burke and Harry Ford. as the
prisoners gave their names, are said
to have approached a young man of
the name of Lincoln in an East First
street pool room yesterday morning,
stating that they wished to talk to him.
Lincoln accompanied them to the
back end of the pool room, and the two
men then told him that they were ex-
perienced highwaymen, had worked
successfully east and north, and had
pulled off a job or two in Los Angeles
which had paid fairly well.

They said they needed third man,
and as he appeared to be the right sort,
they were willing to take him in on
even shares.
Lincoln had met the men several
times and had drunk with them. He
noticed that they questioned him close
ly as to his experience in life, his
method of earning a livelihood and the
present state of his finances.
When thev made their proposition
he at first demurred, and then fearing
be said, that they would assault him,
apparently acquiesced and agreed to
get a revolver and join them later on
First street, near Los Angeles.
Instead of doing so he hunted up
Patrolman Harrison and reported the
conversation to him, and at the time
he was to meet the men. the officer was
there to represent him.
The two men we're arrested and TAX
en- to the central station, where the
knives and pistols were found on them.
They were first booked on charges of
carrying concealed weapons, but later
the charge was changed to suspicion
and Detectives Hosick and Zeigler were
detailed to look up their records. They
will be held until the police of other
cities can be communicated with to
find If they are wanted elsewhere.
