MUNICIPAL LEAGUERS
HONOR MR.. ANDERSON

The Municipal league has prepared q
letter of appreciation to James A. An
derson. After the resolutions are en-
crossed and signed they win be sent
to the retiring official.
The resolutions say in part;
when you accepted this place two
years ago we recognized that It was not
for financial or political consideration.
but because you had been urged by SO
many good citizens to devote yourself
for time to the city's work.
"The period of your service has been
filed with events of the utmost i'm
portance to the municipality; all public
work had to be reorganized under your
board and large volume of delayed
improvements had to be pushed for
ward.
But foremost of all came the tire ..
mendous project of the Owens river
aqueduct, with its appropriation of $685.
100000, which it fell to the lot of your
board to develop and put before the
public and to formulate for actual
work.
'In this and in all other enterprises
that have come before you you have
shown yourself in the highest degree
worthy of the trust that was imposed
upon you by the people. Patient, in
dustrious, just and prudent and above
the possibility of being swayed by
to all who are familiar with your work
the genuine servant of the people.
whose heart is in his task and who is
absolutely loyal to his employer.
yielding to the unanimous demands
of the leading commercial and civic or
ganizations of the city, you consented
to accept a reappo.ntment for another
term in the board of public works IL
it should be rendered you by the mayor
"That such request should be made
of any one in the public service was
of itself unique incident in the citys
history.
''It is a matter of the deepest regret
to US all that the reappointment was
not rendered you, not only because t
deprives the city of your services but
also because 1t might seem to those
unfamiliar with all the facts to indi-
cate some lack of appreciation of your
efficient work. And it is particularly
on this latter account that we desire to
express to you something of the deep
gratitude your fellow citizens feel for
your unselfish devotion to the public
welfare and the regret that is univer-
sally entertained that your services 10
the city are thus terminated"

CHANGE DATE
/ OF CONTEST
MEL ELSoN,BRITT FIGHT SLATED
FOR MARCH
Willis Fugitive Carries Point, and Bat
and Manager Mccarey Agree to
Observation-Disclosures
May Battle

Willis Britt moved two-thirds of the
vicinity of Los Angeles yesterday in
his efforts to have the James Edward
Britt Battling Oscar Mathew Nelson
match postponed from its original date
of February rs, and finally carried his
point. 1t will not be until March
that the sports will have IL chance to
watch Bat and Jimmy together in the
Cabin arena, but the few days delay
will not do them or the box office any
harm.
Just why the request handed out by
Willis Francis could not have been
complied with right off the reel was
not to be learned, but both Manager
McCarey and Nelson held out and werG
shown all the why's and wherefores be-
fore they would consent to change in
date. Willis swung his argument in the
end, and was happy enough to purchase
an extra bunch of smokestacks.
And to listen to Fugitive hand it out
was enough of treat, for any mans
money "Why, Bat" said Willis at the
start, don't you know that we can
help the house all kinds of ways by
letting things go over for a week? A
big fight like this needs lots of adver-
tising, and IL you and Britt meet on the
date we have signed for 1t will take a
lot of valuable time away from us"
"I know all that, Willis" Bat re-
piled, "but I want to fight in plenty of
time to make date for st. Patrick 8
day. You know there's a chance for me
to get on somewhere after I whip
Britt
"All right about whipping Britt, -
came from Willis, "but that isn't the
question right now. Shall we go ahead
and make a bigger fight of 1t or shall
we let 1t go as 1t is? If you want to
please me we'll put it over few days"
So over II went, and the Perfecto Kid
had lots of his bull in reserve. One
reason why James Edwards financial
genius is SO anxious to have the fight
staged next month is because he Is due
in Frisco on the 25th to answer every
charge in the calendar from murder to
horse stealing. OF course, this Is all
embodied in an indictment charging
Willis and his fellow members of the
fight trust with giving bribes to the
supervisors. but the $4,000 bail money
and the 126 years coming to Willis If
the different counts are carried makes
it worth everything in the crime book.
The change in date should help both
Britt and Nelson. Bat was complain
ing yesterday of a sore feeling in his
arms and on the hip where Unholz wal
loped him, and the rest he can take
before beginning active work ought to
do him good Britt has still several
pounds of meat to get away with, so it
will do him no harm to get an extra
training period.
Manager McCarey is still dickering
with Johnson and Flynn to fill in the
February date now open. and there is
q chance that they will get together.
The Russians money Is up and Flynn
has stated that he will cover 1t, and If
he does McCarey will put them on at
once. The matter will probably be set
tied today.

ANDERSON'S CHAIR
GEN. CHAFFEE HEADS OWENS
AoUEDucT BOARD
Reoreanzed Body Gets Together Hara
monlously and Lays Out Its
Future Policy for Los
Angeles

Albert A. Hubbard was elected chair
man of the board of public works yes
terday and Gen. Adna r.. Chaffee, the
new appointee, was made chairman OF
the aqueduct commission. Gen. Chaffee
and Inspector d. K. Edwards Matched
the little conspiracy themselves.
This arrangement relieves Gen. Chaf-
fee of the necessity of signing his nane
to hundreds of papers weekly and gives
him freer supervision of the aqueduct
work proper-the stated purpose of
Mayor A. c. Harper in naming him.
The board reorganized yesterday
afternoon and proceeded Immediately
to routine work and outlining Its policy.
Gen. Chaffee expects to take trip
along the aqueduct route In few days.
He will probably have an office fitted
up for himself in the Union Trust
building, where the aqueduct officials
are housed, though on Monday morn
ings and Tuesday and Friday after
moons he will be at the city hall board
rooms.

SHIP OWNERS DEFY
ENGINEERS UNION
Test Case VIII Be Made at San Franz
cisco--vesseI Ia Taken Out with
One Man Less Than Re.
quired Number
BY Associated Press.

by ASSoclateu FfNSb
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-At
meeting of the Marine Engineers as
sociation of San Francisco tonight the
committee empowered to deal with the
Ship owners association was instruct
ed to refuse the demand made by the
owners that the force of engineers on
steam schooners plying north of Cres-
cent City and south of Point Concep-
cion, carry but two engineers, instead
of three as heretofore. The result OF
this action doubtless will be a lockout
of the engineers of the association to-
morrow.
The owners attempted to take out
the steam schooner Bowdoin, bound
from this port for Gray's Harbor for
lumber, with but two engineers today.
They were unable to secure two MEM
bers of the association to take her
out, however, and she was detained
until tonight, when two of the MEM
bers were permitted to take her. Her
owners will probably be arrested and
tried under provision of the federal
law which gives the United States in
spectors of hulls and boilers the right
to designate what crew a vessel shall
carry.
Messrs. Bowles and Bulger, the fed
ereal inspectors, when appealed to by
tie engineers today, instructed the
owners of the Bowdoin to carry three
engineers. In spite of this the vessel
sailed with but two. on the under
standing that test is to be made of
the matter.
Today the ship owners belonging to
the association met and unanimously
decided to make the fight at this time
against the rule of the Engineers as
ISOLATION that three engineers must be
carried. The action Of the engineers
tonight was perfunctory, and in line
with the decision of both sides to fight
the matter out.
There are only about 100 steam
schooners running along the coast
now, and about 300 marinee engineers
are affected. The engineers hope to
induce the firemen, walters and deck
hands to go out in sympathy. but no
action toward this end has as yet
been taken.

BUENA VISTA WORK
INVOLVES WIDENING

Buena Vista street improvement Is
going ahead slowly but surely.
City Engineer Homer Hamlin told the
board OF public works yesterday that
before paving Buena Vista street from
Bellevue avenue to Los Angeles river
1T is desirable TO have Buena Vista
from Bishops road easterly widened,
as 1t is only sixty feet wide.
AS soon as one more change OF grade
petition comes in the portion from
Bellevue avenue to Bishops road Will
be leady for ordinance.
Mr.. Hamlin recommended that he be
instructed to prepare ordinance from
Bellevue avenue to Bishops road only
and that the balance of Buena Vista
street be done under separate proceed
ings, when the matter of opening and
widening has been definitely decided.
