AMERICAN GAME OF
FOOTBALL DOOMED
Superintendent of Schools to
Recommend Abolition of
intercollegiate Play

When the Polytechnic high school
football eleven meets the team from
the Alameda high school on Saturday,
December II, it will in all probability
be the last game of the old America n
style football that local high school
VIII play This may be startling news
to the friends and admirers of the in
tercolleg1ate game, but the informa-
tion has leaked out that the board of
education will take action in the near
future. insisting upon all local schools
playing Rugby and abolishing the
American style of play
superintendent Roncovieri was pres
ent at the Alameda Polytechnic contest
on Thanksgiving day, as his son played
haifback on the latter eleven, and the
rumor Is that he was unfayorably i'm
pressed with the game, and this, with
the numerous accidents that have oc-
CURED all over the country prompted
hipl TO decide to request the board to
prohibit the American game.
The Berkeley board of education has
declared its Intention of doing like
wise. 1t begins to look. as if the
American game is now a thing of the
past among the high schools of the
northerly half of the state, as various
other sections are taking up the mat
ter, and by the opening of next sea-
son the intercollegiate style game will
probably be limited to few clubs and
private schools.

HASL[TT CALLED
BEFORE DIRECTORS
President of Warehouse Co. Is
Given Preliminary Hearing
in Merchants Exchange
Decision Reached to Check Up
Accounts of Concern Before
Proceeding Further

> NJ Haslett, president of the Has
lett warehouse company, was given his
preliminary hearing yesterday before
the directors of the Merchants ex-
change. The decision was reached to
check up the accounts of the company
before proceeding further. Haslett was
summoned before the directors of the
exchange to answer the charges filed
by M j. Brandenstein & Co These
charges merely recite unbusinesslike
conduct, but they rest upon the allega-
tion that the. affairs of the warehouse
company have been carried on in an
irregular manner.
The Haslett company was also rep
resented at the meeting by Major c. l..
Tilden and r. ii. Swayne They will
set up the defense that if any irregu-
larity occurred at the warehouses, it
was without their knowledge
NJ. j. Brandenstein, the chief wit
ness. was not present al the hearing. so
the taking of testimony was deferred.
In the meantime, the records will be
gone over and a report made to the
exchange.
In hearings of this kind the defend
ants are compelled to answer for them
selves. The exchange does not allow
either side to call attorneys into the
case. 1t is question of business con-
duct which the directors will pass upon.
In the event that the charges are
proved, suspension or dismissal from
the exchange will be the result. -
AS a remedy for the abuses that have
been brought to light strict super
vision of all warehouses has been
urged. Charges have been made against
other concerns and the feeling exists
that the entire warehouse business
should be placed on a new basis.
The directors at yesterdays hearing
were James Rolph Jr., I. f. Moulton,
NJ. S. koshland, Robert Dollar, Joseph
Durney, +. a. Somers, +. W. Newhall,
r. Volmer and E. T. Kruse.

TO him he would have honored IL.
Harrington admitted, however, that
he had not authorized Gordon to draw
a draft upon his account.

ant in Suit for Divorce

An attempt on the part of her hus-

for divorce from Edward Rivaleon, re-

Mrs Rivaleon charged that her hus-
band tied a towel around her neck and
twisted it until she became black in

valeon earns $3.50 month, the wife

RAILROADS. REFUND
OFFER B[LlTTLfD
Attorney for Shippers Asserts
That Southern Pacific Is Not
Moved by Generosity
Contends Company Is Giving
Back Only What 1t Is Un-
able to Keep

The Southern Pacifie's self advertised
generosity in agreeing to refund excess
lumber rates consists of letting loose Of
what they can not hold. according to
]. o. Bracken, attorney for the ship
pers in the hearing before Examiner
Brown of the interstate commerce COM
mission
When the lumber cases We're called
Wednesday C. w Durbrow. the South
ern Pacific attorney. announced that
he would not only yield the point, but
would pay back voluntarily excess rates
to all who should file claims.
The news that the Southern Pacific
was going to make present of 500. 600
to the lumbermen spread joy through
shipping circles. Even the Portola
committee frightened in the hope that
the $4,000 festival deficit would be
wiped out by the company that had
given the city 100000 Portola visitors.
but not once cent OF tribute. But the
news was too good to be true.
BELITsrLEs GENEROSITY
In discussing the Southern Pacifc's
profession of generosity Bracken yes
terday put the matter this way:
When the 10 per cent raise in 1um-
ber rates was made by the northern
railroads in November, 1907 the South
ern Pacific quickly followed suit. But
the northern lumbermen applied for an
injunction in the United States court
and then complained to the interstate
commerce commission, which knocked
out the rate. Under the Hepburn act
the railroads appeal could not possibly
serve as a stay of reparation. The
railroads up north Immediately gave
back all excess payments to the ship
pers.
When the California redwood men.
my clients, went to c. W. Luce, the
Southern Pacific general freight agent.
they were told that the company would
abide by the northern decisions and
were advised not to bring suit. This
would have outlawed all claims not
presented before November 1 of this
year. The present suits were brought
at my suggestion, and not DJTbrows s.
And when he said in court that he
tried to inform all shippers Of the com
pany's intention TO refund he was able
to recall only F. X Wendeling who
controls the sugar and white pine
market. Vending, curiously enough
brought no suit, so is saved the expense
of litigation"
HEARD NOTHING OF OFFER
The Hammond, the Redwood manu-
featuring, the Pacific and the Charles
Nelson lumber companies, the largest
in the trade, say they did not know oi
the Southern Pacific's offer. or they
also would have saved attorneys fees
The particular case on hearing yes
terday before Brown concerned motor
cycles. on which the overland lines
charge $6 the 100 pounds as against
$3.50 for old fashioned safeties. The
commission. sitting at Denver. decided
that the same rate should apply to
both, but the order has been generally
ignored Although motorcycles are
many times heavier than the plain
cycles, bulk for bulk, their selling
profits are larger. Testimony seemed
to show that the size of dealers profits
is the only basis OF the higher motor
cycle rate

This week was completed a deal Of

the postponement of the execution of
the plan but it has now been carried
through and there viii be active work
on the properties of this company this
season.
Acting upon the reports of expert
engineers who were sent out to eX-
anime the property, men prominent in
the Calumet & Hecla of Michigan and
the Anheuscr Busch company, bought
100000 shares of Triangle stock at IS
