NARROW ESCAPE IN
AUTOMOBILE TRYOUTS

CROWN POINT, Ind, June 16.-
Monsen and Stutz, driving two Marion
automobiles, which are to compete in
the western Vanderbilt June IS and
10, furnished real racing incident in
practice over the Crown Point-Lowell
course today, one in which a tragedy
was narrowly aVerted
They found themselves running a
close race on the double curve known
as the IS" They raced closely, but
Monsen led into the straightaway,
with Stutz following close in the cloud
of dust raised by his rival. He saw
the curve a little late and made too
quick a turn. His rear axle was bent
and his machinist, Ray Tinker, was
thrown from his seat to the soft sod
at the side of the road. He was I'M
injured. The car did not turn over,
and Tinker was soon back in the car
which returned to the garage. A new
axle will be installed in time for the
race on Friday.
Art Greiner, the amateur, was greet
ed with applause when he reappeared
on the course. Greiner left a hospital
last Sunday to prepare for the race,
and since then has been unsuccessfully
trying to find cam shaft to replace
a broken one in his machine. He could
not get what he wanted and entered
the practice today with his old one
patched up.
Immediately after the contest he will
return to the hospital for an operation.

ORDINANCES PROPOSE
2PRICES FOR WATER
OLD RATE MAY BE RESET BY
TRUSTEES
Two Members of Board Are Firm Tor
Cheaper Schedule and May Sc
cure 1t Unless Three
Stand Solid
Especial to The Herald

HOLLYWOOD, June 16.-The water
situation has simmered down TO TWO
ordinances which were introduced at
the meeting of the city trustees this
evening. One ordinance would estap-
fish the rate of the present price OF
81. so for 5000 gallons and IL cents per
thousand above that amount, Whlle the
second would establish the rate recon- :
mended by the water committee OF
81 go for 5000 gallons, 1872 cents per
thousand gallons for 5000 gallons above
the minimum and Is cents per thou
sand gallons above 5000 gallons from
reservoir No. 1 and 10 cents per thou
sand gallons from the main reservoir.
1t is said that the extra charge is
made for reservoir No. l on account
of it's height.
1t is predicted that the latter rate
will be established, although there is
chance for the former rate. Trus-
tees Dick and Lashley have opposed
the raise in rate all the time and UNI
less the other three trustees, Dunlop,
Gordon and Vickroy, stand solid on the
proposition the old rates may be es-
tablished
The water famine that was felt in
East Hollywood a short time ago, sup
posedly on account of a breakage in
machinery, has been the cause of much
ill-feeling among patrons OF the water
company.
Yesterday afternoon the residents of
South La Brea avenue were shut off,
for repairs. On account of
the pressure that the company may
wish to bling to bear during the COM
ing week as the ordinance establishing
the rate will be passed next Wednes-
day might it is expected that other
repairs may be made.

sale of liquor, and laws drawn In ac-
cordance Herewith provide a tax sys-
tenn in lieu of a license system.
Under the constitution of Ohio,
therefore, the legislature cannot pass
a valid license law, but it has come
as near passing model license law
as it could under the circumstances.
Il find that there is some impa-
thence on the part of those who would
have no delay in the reforfna ton OF
trade condition. This impatience is
manifested both by the reform element
in the trade and by good citizens out
side.
Time Required
Nevertheless time must be allowed
for the provisions of the Dean law to
become effective. For instance, appn-
cants who desire to pay the retainer
tax must, under the Dean law, answer
certain questions and these questions
under the law could not be propounded
before the first of June. Those who
cannot answer them satisfactorily VIII
not be permitted to pay the tax.
ITO my personal knowledge there is
one place in Cincinnati, a free Vaude-
vile saloon, centrally located, that
prospers on the sale of liquor to men
and women of bad character. When /
mentioned this to Mr.. Andreae he told
me that the vigilance bureau had sub
mitted the case to the grand jury and
was prepared to present sufficient evil
dence to put the place out of commits
sion.
1.-THE viligance bureau has compiled
a great deal of data concerning the
character of those engaged in retail
ing liquor in Ohio and intends to use
this to prevent lawbreakers from con-
tinuing in the business.
1.-The Dean law provides severe PEN
alties for those who make misstate-
ments in answering the questions pro-
pounded to applicants and the vigil
ance bureau will be active in seeing
that this section of the law is OBJ
served to the letter.
Mr.. Andreae told me that particu-
lar attention would be paid to the
records of retailers so that former con-
victs may be barred from the saloon
business. He said that while in some
cases men who had been convicted of
felony had reformed and are law
abiding, experience had shown that it
is unwise to permit the former con-
Wet to have charge of or an inter-
est in a saloon.
Society should make some ade-
quate provision for it's former convicts.
We will not permit felons to degrade
a business that can be and must be
reputable, said Mr.. Andreae.
Il asked Mr. Andreae If the pro-
hibition element could be counted on
to help in the fight for the betterment
of trade conditions and he said:
No, on the contrary the Prohibi-
tionists will try to belittle our efforts.
Law abiding saloons are no help to the
prohibition movement

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. S.-The state
board Of agriculture. by its secretary.
Charles +. Barrett. has filed with Gov
ernor Haskell the semi-annual report
OF the board. provided for by the con
stitution, giving detailed and item
lied statement Of all expenditures and
disbursements under the appropriation
act of the First Legislature. This ap-
preparation covered period Of nine
teen and one-half months, beginning
with statehood and ending July !. 1909.
The sum OF 500. .26250 was appropria-
ted for the expenses Of the various de-
partments of the board; $4S,750 of this
amount was for the salaries and ex-
penses OF the live stock inspectors en-
gagged in tick eradication work, and
this, with the mileage and per diem
of members of the board and the sum
appropriated for printing biennial re-
ports, comprises more than three-fifths
of the total appropriation.
The board of agriculture was one OF
the very few departments Of the state
government which did not ask the Sec
ond legislature for deficiency ap-
preparation to cover the expenses Of
the last half OF the fiscal year just
closed, and its showing of upwards OF
$4,000 returned to the tax payers, or
unexpended. is a decidedly agreeable
one. and indicates that, after all, the
farmers are the real conservatives,
