OF close search throughout America,
President Hadley of Yale university

tive OF the typical American" which

American at all but a German from

Economic associations last night Is
creating wide comment today.

been engaged for years In the self.im-

sented the ambitions and character
sought in this country.

COURTS DECISION STANDS.
Burton's Appeal to Council In custel
Ave. Matter Futile.


After long session at which do.
bate was spirited and at times per-
soma. the council: committees on street
openipgs and taxes reached a decision
with regard to-. the award to c. M.
Burton for. the land condemned in the
opening OF Custer-ave. This decision
will be of benefit to the city In gen.
eral, although II does not please either
Burton or the property-owners OF the
assessment district.
Burton bought the northern portion
of what Is now Custer-ave., east of
Woodward-ave., for some distance at
q sale OF tax lands, years ago. There
was q suit over the possession Of the
property In which he was victorious
over the city. and the proceedings to
condemn this land and widen the
street followed.
Burton offered to compromise by ac-
cepting $500 for his land in case the
city would remit city taxes on the
property. This was accepted by the
council committee. but the recorders
court jury In the street opening case
which followed did not accept the com
promise. but brought in a verdict for
$7,474 for Burton. out Of which the
latter must pay about half back In
taxes, II the city treasurer can enforce
the collection OF these back taxes.
Burton petitioned the council to pay
him in accordance with the original
compromise. while the property-own-
ors IN the assessment district wanted
the verdict to stand but asked that
the back taxes collected be turned
over to the street opening fund to les
sen the damages to be paid by them.
The committee decided to let mat
tiers stand as settled by the jury, re-
turning the taxes to the deficiency
fund Of the city to relieve general tax.

ANARCHISTS MAKE THREAT.
Mexican RevoIutionists start Trou-
bile at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles. Oct. 1.-Some concern was
felt by the Presidents friends here be-
cause OF an anarchist demonstration last
night. which resulted in the arrest OF
several Of the ring-leaders and threats Of
death against the police. Mixed up with
the anarchists in their demonstration
were several Mexican revolutionists.
The trouble started when one OF the
Mexican agitators shouted before a crowd
In the city plaza that Taft is only a
stool pigeon FOR Diaz" The police i'm
mediately nabbed the Mexican. One or
two women anarchists joined them in de-
nouncing Taft and the Mexican Presi-
dent, and while the police were engaged
in clearing the streets, they were hand
ed a letter advising them that they had
only a few days to live. Their death. IL
was said. had been decreed because Of
their interference with the meeting.
Before the trouble was over one OF the
agitators made a vicious lunge al no.
liceman with long knife, and the police
man shot him In the leg. Altogether six
anarchists and Mexican revolutionists
were landed in the jail.
Special precautions were taken TODAY
TO protect the President, but there was
no evidence anywhere Of any i'll feeling
toward him.
The fact that the President IS going
TO meet President Diaz, Of Mexico ar
the ri Paso border apparently is the rea-
son for the agitation by the Mexican law
breakers in this city.
