Unidentified AGED MAN
KILLED BY S. P. ENGINE
Body of Victim StreWn Along Track
for Distance of Almost Fifty
Feet

While walking on the railroad tracks
near Date street and Alhambra read
nm unidentified aged man, presumably
a beggar who had been i familiar
figure about the Southern Pacific
round house, was run over and kllled
Instantly yesterday morning by Soutn-
ern Pacific engine No. 1898. The BODY
was mangled horribly and was streWI
along the track for almost fifty teet
shortly before the accident the VIC
tim was seen talking to an engine
crew of switch engine. He then
walked down the track and was evil
IDENTIFY not aware of the proximity OF
engine No. 1898, which had just
brought in the Redlands local train
and was being backed to the round
house.
According to the police report of the

MOORS BEATEN
BY SPANIARDS
MADRID RECEIVES REPORTS
OF VICTORY
ONE HUNDRED RIFF WARRIORS
SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLED
Protest Against Spanish Attempts to
Work Moroccan Mines Contrary
to Treaty Sent to the
Powers
tBy Associated Press.I ]

MADRID, Sept. 22.-The Spanish
forces III Morocco, according to the lat
est dispatches received here, were sue
cessful September 20 and 81 in turning
Mount Guruga, and surrounding the
ferocious BENZ -Sicar tribesmen.
The government is publishing broad
cast today accounts Of many thrilling
and gallant episodes of the fghting'
and the war fever is at a high pitch.
All the reports agree that the Moors
showed fanatical courage, but were
met with a fine display of Spanish
valor.
Near Taxdir, four battallons Of Span
ish troops were deployed over a front
six miles long. They were charged SUD,
denly by 200 Arab horsemen. General
Tovar sent out strong detacnInent u
chasseurs and cavalrymen to check
them. At first the Moors broke DuG
thew returned to the attack several
times before they were finally routed
leaving many dead on the field.
The Spanish infantry then rented
retreat and the Moors, reinforced
syyant down upon them. The Spanish
line about-faced and fired repeated vol
Ieys point blank into the enemy put
ting them to flight The dispatches re-
port the Moors left 100 dead on the
field.
The minister of foreign affairs has
made formal answer to the protest OF
the foreign board of the Moroccan gov
ernment against the action of Spain
in the Riff territory, claiming this to be
a breach of the Algeciras agreement
and charging the Spaniards caused the
trouble by crossing the frontier and
working the mines.
This protest also was sent to the
powers. The nature of Spain's answer
is not known.

ASSESSED S238 DUE TO
MlSSPELLING IN NAME
Jacob swigart objects to Paying De-
linquency Fees Caused by
Clerical Error

Because his name was misspeiled
on the assessment roll for the open
ing and widening of San Pedro street,
Jacob swigart finds he is assessed
$2S7. .92 for delinquency fees on five lots
he owns in the assessment district -,
In a communication to the council
filed yesterday Mr.. Swigart asks that
he be relieved from this added burden
as the assessment he must pay toward
the opening and widening of San Pc
dro amounts to S4,99S.27 and he con-
siders this sufficient for the amount
of benefit he will receive. He declares
he never received notice of the pro-
ceedings or that any assessment was
due from him and he charges this to
The fact that clerical error was made
in spelling his name
He declares that had he known he
was to be assessed he would have paid
his proportion of the cost of the I'M
nrovement before it became delinquent
and so saved himself the extra
charges.

SUGGESTS A REAL TEST
Points to Island of Kahoolawe as Fine
Ground to Prove Theories OF
Plnchot

HONOLULU, Sept. 22.-In order to
secure practical data In connection
with the worldwide controversy be
tween forest experts as to the extent
that vegetation effects rainfall, Chlet
Hydrographer Leighton of the local
branch of the geodetic survey pro
noses that the island of Kahoolawe,
living southwest of the island of Maui
he reforested and that accurate records
of climatic conditions be kept While
the trees are growing.
The island formerly was covered
with a luxurlant tropical growth Whleh
was killed off by grazing cattle. It's
entire area of 63 square miles is no"
used as a sheep range. leighton pro
noses that the government plant this
waste land with the same kinds OF
trees that grew upon 1t before and
that a systematic record of the rainfall

FAMILY AFFAIRS SACRED,

cries Carry No Feeling of Protest
to Present Government

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept 22.-Sec-
retary of War Dickinson, as the guest
of honor of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy at the state fair today, made
an address in which he said:
'I always have kept conspicuously
displayed in my home in Illinois por-
traits of Davis, Lee and Jackson, and
with them the confederate colors. 1t
never occurred to me to offer explana-
tion or apology
Sensible people of the north know
that, in christening these sentiments,
in holding these convictions, in caring
for the graves of our dead, in erecting
monuments to perpetuate their fame,
in giving a true history Of our contest
and teaching our children to reverence
the memory of those who sustained
the southern cause, there is no protest
against the government under which
we live"

BARTENDER Is KILLED
FROM AMBUSH AT TUCSON
Walter Taylor, Formerly of Denver
and Kansas City, Shot Down In
Front of His Home

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 22.-Walter
Taylor was mysteriously assassinated
near the entrance to his home on the
outskirts of this city last night by a
rife shot, fired from ambush by an
unknown assailant.
Taylor died instantly in sight of his
wife and two children. The victim
was an Englishman and came here
from Denver with his family four
months ago He was employed here
as a bartender.
He lived for a time in Kansas City,
where he was employed as a whole
sale liquor salesman 1t is supposed
here that the killing was an act of
vengeance perpetrated by some one
who had trailed the man to this city.
1t was evident that robbery was not
the motive.

waII Street Worried About Morse

BOSTON, Sept. 22.-There wa much
discussion in the financial district to-
day of a report that the New York
New Haven and Hartford railroad is
to become owner of an interest said to
be so per cent in the Metropolitan
Steamship company. The other half
of the capital stock, it is said, will be
held by Charles w. Morse after the
company is reorganized. The report
also stated that this would be fol-
10 ed by the acquisition of large,
possibly a controlling, interest in the
Eastern Steamship PAN by the
Morse Mellen interests.

Main Factors

Water competition, said Mr.. Munroe,
governed the matter of rates TO a
great extent and water competition
cannot be viewed as only in existence
at points where the water runs, but
has its effect on inland points. Mr..
Munroe also thought that. mileage was
not the proper basis on which to figure
rates, but that the topography of the
country cost of maintenance and wa
ter competition should be taken into
consideration.
He said it would be highly desirable
if the different rates maintained on
what is known as classes and com
modities could be abolished, and only
one general rate established which
would be fair and equitable for all
concerned.
1T would be a happy consumma-
ton" said he. "if all those burdensome
matters of difference in rates could
be done away with by order of the
commission, but nothing short of the
millennium can bring such a condition
about, and 1 doubt if even that could
do So"
