SOUTHERN SKATERS
SPRING SURPRISES
SUNDAYS GAMES SHOW A RE
VERSAL OF FORM
Neglected Downey Team Takes Meas
ure of Rlveras, and Dyas-cline
Aggregation Puts II on
Redondo

The games in the Southern State
league last Sunday presented several
surprises. The hitherto unconsidered
Downey team took the measure of the
Rivera aggregation and took them
down from the first place to second.
At Joy park the Dyas-Cline team
won its first game and consequently
is now in the percentage column. At
the present time Redondo looks like
winner, having won all four of its
games and is running easily.
An attractive schedule has been ar
ranged for next Sunday. At Redondo
the team of that place will meet the
Rivera aggregation and hot contest
will take place, as Manager Nagle of
Rivera is determined to bring the
Beachcombers down from their high
pedestal.
AT Joy park the Pico Heights team
will hook up with the Thistles. and as
these two teams always put up q good
game the fans will miss nothing by at
tending the contest.
Huntington park will play the Dyas-
Cline team at Huntington Park, and
this also should be a good game, as
the sporting BOOQS lctlil 10 QClCl
to get on the map and the Park boys
don't see why it should be at their ex-
pense. At Downey the Gardena berry
pickers will cross bats with the team
of that place, it being Downey's first
game at home, and the fans are natu-
rally anxious for the team to start out
right before a home crowd.
Counts, the star first baseman Of the
Redondo team, has been promised a
chance on the mound with the Angels
in the near future.
Jim Lyman, the old boy with the
great underhand ball, is expected to be
on the firing line for the Dyas-Clines
at Huntington Park next Sunday.
doc" Wiley of Santa Barbara has
been signed by Manager Reeve of Pico
Heights and will twirl against the
Thistles next Sunday.

.HERRICK REFUSES TO
BE AN AMBASSADOR
DECLINES HIGH H0N0RS AT
HANDS OF TAFT
Former Governor of Ohio Prefers
Business to Diplomatic Post.
Presdent-Elect Anxious
to Have Him

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Myron T.
Herrick of Ohio yesterday, for business
reasons, declined an ambassadorship
at the hands of President-elect Taft.
The post was not definite, Mr.. Taft
saying there were two or three places
in which vacancies would occur, and
mentioned particularly the resignation
OF Ambassador Griscom at Rome.
Mr.. Herrick's declination Is said to
be final, although 1t Is believed Mr.. Tart
may endeavor to persuade him to re-
consider, as slate makers and prophets
declare the president-elect has long
had the former governor In mind for
an important position If not for the
italian ambassadorship.
1t is believed Mr.. Taft desires the
Ohioan because of the latter's recog--
nized executive ability, and because of
a strong personal feeling they entertain
for each other.
Mr.. Herrick stated today he cared
more for his business than for any
diplomatic post that could be offered
him.
II want to get out of politics. he is
reported to have said, land If l accept

HEMENWAY REVIEWS
BIG APPROPRIATIONS
MADE BY CONGRESS
Allowances Vastly Less Than Esti.
mates-Efforts to Economic De-)S
cIared Unpopular in Each
Instance

WASHINGTON, March 3-Senator
James A. Hemenway of Indiana today
made a farewell speech to the senate
concerning appropriations made by con-
gress in the last eight years, showing
that the aggregate appropriations were
1874, 1884, less than the estimates.
He sought to demonstrate how I'M
popular has been the effort of members
of congress to keep down expenditures
in the face of demands from executive
departments and citizens for funds with
which to prosecute certain projects, and
he spoke also of the criticism made of
congress by persons who objected to
large appropriations.
The estimates for eight years aggre-
gate $7,2S7, 954,27S against appropriations
aggregating $7,013 92949,S85. The reduc-
lions congress made from the estimates
were as follows:
In 1903, $25, S53,S21, and for the sue
ceeding seven years the reductions
were as follows: $12, 398,270, $40, S01, 1881;
$15,075, 1872; $27, ,517; $22,S929, 499; ST.
051, 745, and for the fiscal year of 1910,
| $50 900, 900.
Continuing Mr.. Hemenway said:
"Although~the estimates were not re-
duced to the extent many of us wanted,
congress has not added to its popu-
larity with the people by the reflections
it did make, for on the whole the peo-
pie have been with the executive in urg-
ing that all recommendations of the
executive be carried out.
when additional taxes are levied
which the people will have to pay they
can understand that congress is not
wholly at fault"

OAKLAND, March 3.-Suffering ago
MES from the poison which she con-
tracted from handling typewriter car
bon paper while she was a clerk in the
Alameda county hall OF records, Miss
Elizabeth N. Rowe is facing possible
invalidism for life at her home in Reno,
New.
For five months the girl suffered the
raVages of a disease which the doctors
were unable to diagnose. Finally a
doctor who had learned the nature of
her work declared she was suffering
from poisoning caused by handling car
bon sheets.
DR.. o. d. Hamlin, chief surgeon of
the county hospital, agrees with the
specialist of Nevada that the poison
can be communicated by the manifold
paper used by typists.
The severity of Miss Rowe's case
makes it exceptionally interesting, and
at the next meeting of the Alameda
County Medical association it will be
discussed.
Ali physicians who have heard of the
case agree that users of the manifold
paper should be very careful not to
get the coloring matter in the throat
or eyes.

TURNED OUT on
POOR House

Rev, W. II. Heyer, the deposed past
or of the Trevorton Lutheran church,
who was foroibly evicted from the
parsonage on April 81 last, and who
for two years previous to that time re-
fused to relinquish the pastorate of
the church, because, as he stated, the
Lord had not called him to another
charge, created quite sensation in
the village Monday evening when he,
together with his aged mother and Sis
ter, made arrangements to spend the
night in the grove west of the town
after the poor authorities had refused
them further accommodations at the
aims house.
After Rev. Heyer was evioted from
the parsonage with his mother and sis
ter was given lodging in the aims
house, he providing them and himself
with food from his small fund saved
during his years service in the minis.
try. When the poor authorities took
theL in it was supposed that it would
be only for night or two. He failed
to go before n Justice and procure the
necessary "order of relief for ad-
mission into the institution, and with
out such the board had no authority
to provide shelter for the trio. At a
meeting OF the board Saturday night,
it was decided that they were not com
plying with the law and Monday he
was told that he would have to seek
quarters elsewhere. Monday night
Rev. Heyer with his sister and moth.
or the latter being so feeble she can
hardly walk, went into the park and
began preparations to sleep on the
tables. Their actions were noticed by
residents nearby and the news soon
spread throughout the town, and a
large crowd fooked to the scene.
George Brubecker, a we'll known
citizen. offered to provide the outoasts
with shelter and his generous Offer
was accepted.
In order to provide food for his sis.
ter and aged mother Rev Heyer whose
funds have been growing less every
day. has so skimped himself that he il
on the verge of collapse from want ei
nourishment. His aged mother could
not possibly have stood the exposure
of sleeping in the open air.
Attorney Shoener has taken the mat

duce Mr.. Heyer to take out an "ordeI
OF relief" which will admit him tc

care of until other arrangements col

NO MORE BOUNTY
Will Be PAID

By reason of the bounty paid on pelts
the trapping Of noxious animals has
proven rather profitable diversion
during the two years past, but unfor-
tunately the business is now at an end
and the man who hereafter kills
minks, weasels or the like will do so
purely for the sake of the good he can
accomplish without any thought of
pecuniary gain.
On Friday communication was re-
ceived at the office of the county com
missioners from the auditor general of
the State advising the board that the
last legislature has failed to make any
appropriation for the payment of boun-
| ties on noxious animals for the two
years beginning June /, 1909. An ap-
preparation of $40, 600 was made to pas
the deficiency that already exists Oi
this $40 900 over s27, 900 is already due
to various counties for the balance OF
bills that were due to August I3, 1908,
at which time was distributed the bal.
ance OF the former appropriation ther
in the treasury. From data on hand
it is made clear that the remaining
Sl3, 900 will not be.sufticiens to reim-
burse the counties for those bills which
have already keen paid, but not pre-.
sented to the department. The audit,
or general, therefore, requests that the
county commissioners pay no more
scalp bounties.
In view of the above at a regular
meeting of the county commissioners
Saturday, on motion, it was decided
to pay no more bounty on pelts Of
noxious animals in Montour county
During the two years that the law ha,
been in force Montour county has paiC
out in bounty on pelts only a trihC
less than seven hundred dollars.
