HOT PENNANT RACE
IN WINTER LEAGUE
Manager Judge Of Pasadena Team Has
Strengthened Lineup and Attempt
to Climb from Cellar

The Winter Baseball league teams
will begin Sunday on the second round
of the circuit. San Diego taking on the
McCormicks at San Diego. the Maiers
travelling to Pasadena, Santa Ana to
San Bernardino, and the salt Lakes
tackling Santa Barbara. The Salt Lake.
Santa Barbara game will be watched
with interest, as the Chanel city nine
is in first place, and the Railroaders
are but a few steps in the rear, occp-
pying second place.
San Diego is in third place and, in
spite of Manager Palmers efforts, has
so far failed to show the form that won
first place in breeze last year. The
addition of Catcher Jack Myers of the
New York Giants may help them to
regain some of their lost prestige. The
McCormicks will attempt to send the
Southerners still further down the per-
centage column.
Pasadena is another club which will
have to hurry to keep from finishing in
the cellar, but Manager Judge is plan
ming additions which should make
things lively for the remainder of the
teams. Wilhoit at Santa Barbara, But
Ter at San Diego, Allen at San Ber-
nardino. and McNab at Pasadena will
be the working order of the umpires
for Sundays contests

MONUMENTS TO ANIMALS

In the Hotel de Vile of Luneberg, in
Hanover, there is a mausoleum con-
tanning a costly glass structure. This
incloses a ham, and is monument to
a pig! Upon a marble slab an inscrip-
ton is engraved in golden letters:
"Passersby! contemplate herein the
mortal remains of the pig which won
for itself imperishable glory by its dis
covery of the salt springs of Lune-
berg"
On the village green of Somers, near
New York, there stands a monument
to an elephant. "Old Bet" was prob
ably the first elephant exhibited in
America. She was taken across the
Atlantic about a century ago by a
French Snowman. Crowds fiocked to
see her; but one unlucky day Bet broke
loose during the show. There was a
panic; somebody got gun, and "Old
Bet" was shot. The Snowman had
loved his elephant, and after her death
he lost heart and gave up the business.
He consoled himself by designing a
monument to Bet. A single shaft OF
granite, fifteen feet high, rests on
triple base. At the top Is a wooden
image of the elephant. This, which is
four feet in height, was at first gllded.
When the gilt became tarnished 1t was
replaced by a more lifelike coat of
mouse colored paint.-Seattle Times.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PLANS NEW BRANCH
ENGINEER AND SURVEYORS
READY FOR WORK
Line Will Be Built from Eureka OF
Through Timber Lands Northeast
to Redding-Western Pacific
to Tap District

REDDING, Cal, Dec. 1S.-The arrival
of Civil Engineer Cossens with twelve
Southern Pacific surveyors has reused
the liveliest conjectures as to the rail
roads plans and has created belief
here that the Southern Pacific VIII
build to Eureka or through the timber
lands northeast of here No informa-
tion other than that they are under the
orders of b. +. KnoWlton OF the en-
gineering department of the Southern
Pacific was obtainable.
1t is believed the Western Pacific
probably will penetrate into this dis
trict with a branch line This branch
is understood to be planned to touch
Eureka by way of Redding. Rumors of
rivalry between the southern Pacific
and the Gould lines have prompted q
belief that the former is seeking to en-
ter this territory by this route and
reach Eureka on the west. Another
possible route would be that east, up
the Pit river to FAN river, through a
great empire of lumber. The feeling
here is that actual construction may
now be regarded as under way.

DRUG CLERKS DECLARE SUS'
PECT HELD HIM UP
Prisoner Admits He Went Into Store,
but Says He Told in Fun En-

Hands

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1S.-A man
who gave his name as Fritz r. Erin
and says he is a waiter in Mead's cafe,
Ellis street, was identified and ar
rested early this morning in Fillmore
street as the man who tried to hold
up the drug store of the White DRUG
company in Fillmore street Wednes-
day night.
He was pointed out to Detective
McHugh by William II. Young, the
clerk, who declared he was the holdup
man. The police are not sure he is
the man who twice has held UP one
drug store and who killed William
Schneider in the Hammam baths Two
weeks ago, but there are many SINH
larities in the description.
According to Detective McHugh the
man when taxed with the attempted
holdup admitted he had entered the
White Drug company's store on his
way home from work and had told the
clerk to throw up his hands. He said
he had no revolver and had done
what he did as a joke after reading
about the holdup of the Gleason store.

UNEXPECTEDLY TRUE

The clever young man was wander
ing up and down the platform OF the
railway station, intent on finding an
empty carriage In the express. which
was almost due to start, says a writer
in Tit-B!ts. But in vain. Assuming
an official air, he stalked up to the last
carriage and cried in a stentorlan
voice:
IAN change here! This carriage
isn't going!"
There were exclamations low but
deep from the occupants of the
crowded compartment: but neverthe-
less, they hurried out of the carriage
and packed themselves away in o'her
parts of the train. The smile on the
face of the young man was childlike
as he settled himself comfortably.
"Ah," he murmured, ITS a grand
thing for me that | was born clever!
wish they'd hurry up and start"
BY and by the station master put his
head In the window and said:
II suppose you are the smart young
man who told the people this carriage
wasn't going?"
Yes" said the clever one, and he
smiled.

a grin, 'it isn't. The porter heard you
telling the people, and so he uncoupled
it. He thought you were a director"

PRESIDENT DAVILA
SUSPENDS TRADE LAW
Animosity Toward Government of
Spanish Honduras Is
Tempered

PORT CORTEZ, Spanish Honduras,
Dec. 13 (via New Orleans, Dec. 49,
In suspending certain laws of the
Spanish Honduras, President Davila
took a step which undoubtedly went
far to remove a potent cause of ami
mostly in a large section of the coun-
try toward the government.
The last session of congress enacted
a statute practically paralyzing the
shipping trade along the coast and
with neighboring islands. Under its
terms a merchant could not sell and
ship goods to other Honduran ports.
With the president supreme, follow
ing the declaration of o state of siege,
Davila's first act was to suspend the
law.
The president also suspended an
other law which had reduced the duty
on cotton goods 20 per cent.

WAR BETWEEN SHEEP AND
CATTLE MEN is LIKELY
Situation in Central Idaho, Near Sal

Tense Daily

SPOKANE, Dec. 1S.-War between
the cattle and sheep men of central
Idaho may break out at any time. 1t
is reported here that for more than d
year the situation between the cattle
men and sheep owners of the Salmon
river basin has been growing more
and more tense, until now an armed
truce is maintained, which may give
way to violence should any member of
either party commit any overt act.
The cattlemen when they ride the
ranges these days have their guns
handy at their hips-and the sheep
men go armed, say reports from south
of Grangeville.
Into this cow punchers' paradise the
sheepmen have driven their flocks and
the cattlemen resent the intrusion.
