WIDELY DIVERGENT OPINIONS
ON MUSIC FOR TAFT'S
INAUGURATION
Thy United Press Leased Wire J

Thy United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, March band
masters throughout the United
States today expressed their opin-
ions as to the most fitting air to
be played as the musicians in the
inaugural parade next Thursday
pass Mr.. Taft's reviewing stand.
The airs selected include from
ION the Banks of the Wabash"
to "Dixie." Dixie" was chosen
by Charles Uhrig, drum major of
the crack First Kentucky Infantry
band at Louisville.
From Cincinnati comes the re-
port that John G. Weber selected
"Auld Lang Syne" and George E.
Smith, another voted leader, pro-
posed to play "Sweethearts'' as a
tribute to both the president-elect
and his wife.
"Honey Boy" as typical of the
Taft smile, was the selection of
Joseph G. Lauder, composer and
bandmaster at Milwaukee. John
ME" Hands at Chicago believes
that '"This Is No Time for Mirth
Nor Laughter; the Cold Gray
Dawn of the Morning After" the
refreshing refrain on "Remorse'
in the Sultan of Zulu" would be
appropriate, while Gypsy Rigo
suggests the yankee Consuls'
ditty, "Ain't 1t Funny What a Diff
ference Just a Few Hours Make"
Rainbow" is the favorite of
the Philadelphia leaders, while
the upstate bandmasters have Sc
lected Pennsylvania" the official
antham. Observation-Disclosures
Taft Is No Counterfeit Bill" is
suggested by George H. Green of
Omaha.
Professor Ernestinoff Of Indian
apolis believes ION the Banks of
the Wabash" would be appropriate
and Jacob I. Wiki, of Minneapolis,
suggests Julian Edwards "My
Own United States"

SHORTAGE in SUPPLY OF GIN
CAUSES A BIG SCARE IN
FAIRBANKS, ALASKA
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By united Press Leased Wlre.)
SEATTLE. March 1. - Fair
banks, Alaska, is, according to
advices received here, threatened
with shortage of gin. Kerosene
coses SIT a case, but that only
furnishes light. Gin furnishes
light, heat and happiness in the
frigid zone where gold is plentiful
but essentials of life are scarce.
Eggs are selling for $50 a case
in the Tanana metropolis, butter
has finally succumbed to the
strong demand and has reached
the price where the bread must
be sliced thicker. Sugar is worth
40 cents pound. Other articles
are short.
But gin, so necessary to the
good cheer of the miner, is short
and there is much anxiety In the
mining camp. Aid has been re-
|quested and relief expeditions will
be hurried to the stricken city
from other camps whose supply OF
liquid necessaries are ample.

WELL IS GREAT
PRODUCER

Commissioner McGregor says
well No. IL, which has just been
deepened over 100 feet and
cleaned, is a wonderful producer
and is now giving up so much
water it cannot be measured by
the weir, which has a capacity of
100000 gallons. He thinks the
new well is good for 100000
gallons.
This is as much as all the
wells produced last summer. We
are now getting 12,100,000 from
the wells" said the commissioner.

"Kipling's hair" said the
curio dealer, has gone up of
late. A quarter used to buy
a lock, but one of the latest
shades now costs So.
"Those are Upton Sin
clair's and Jack London's in
that case. They are cheap
and plentiful-all you want
at a dime apiece.
"That pair side by side on
the black velvet pillow are
Mark Twain's and w. ID.

$40, and the price is steadily

hoping thereby to get the Tacoma

Hersey is too wise to go up against a

PLAN TO TAKE CHARGE
OF BRIDGES OVER CANAL
Alameda County Will Assume
Control to Open Waterway

OAKLAND. Nov. 29.-An understand
ing was reached today whereby the
county of Alameda will assume the
control and maintenance of the three
bridges across the tidal canal, operate
them so that the canal may be open for
navigation and thus throw open for
occupancy water front of two miles.
Present at the conference were Con-
gressman Joseph r. Knowland. Colonel
John Biddle engineer in charge of har-
Dor improvements, Assistant District
Attorney W. H. L. Hynes. President of
the Chamber of Commerce /. III. Clay.
Frank W. Bilger, E. c. Sessions, former
Governor George c. Pardee and NJ. j.
Laymance.
In the reort of the chief of engineers,
made in Washington several days ago.
the recommendation is contained that
these bridges should be turned over to
local authorities. Today an executive
session of the board of supervisors was
held at which it was decided to ask
the federal government to carry out
this recommendation.
The supervisors expressed themselves
as willing to provide for the expense of
maintenance of the bridges after they
are delivered to the county by the
United States. The federal government
will be asked. however, to put the three
bridges in shape for use and operation
by electricity. The High street bridge
was burned several months ago and has
not been rebuilt. The two other bridges
have never been opened, although they
have spanned the canal for many years,
and they are in need of repair

suit brought by c. S. Macmillan against
the county Of Alameda for the recovery
OF tax rebates amounting TO $4,000
was begun today before Judge Ellis
worth. Macmillan himself occupied the
witness stand for the greater part OF
the day.
The rebates claimed by Macmillan
are fof the fiscal year 1s02-190S. He
alleges that during that year the su-
pervisors fixed the tax rate by resolu-
tion and afterwsrd. without resembling
that resolution, raised the rate cents.
He claims that this raise was illegal
His suit is to recover on claims as
signed 10 him by the tax payers.
The minutes of the supervisors did
not show that the supervisors had re-
scinded the resolution, although they
contended they lad done so. Recently
the supervisors met and resolved to
amend the minutes so that they would
show that the resolution fixing the tax
rate had been rescinded-
