AS tho present administration
draWs to u close, the Legislative
body fluids itsc.f embarrassed with
number of problems that in all
probability cannot be solved at
this sesslOB The President has
vetoed the Census bill which con
tanned the Objectionable provision
authorizing the appointment OF
census employees by members of
Congress instead Of through com
petitive examin alton under the Ci-
vii Sc: vice rules. The Presidents
attitude towards this question and
toward other pending measures
may result in the failure of a num-
ber of important bills in the present
Congress. 1t is thought by the
leaders Of the House that the Sun
dryClvil Bil; which contains appro.
priatiOns for the maintenance of
the Secret service and possibly
one or two other supply bills and
and the Census bill will fail of
passage this session. In such
case, they must be taken up and
put into the form Of law at the
special session to be called IN
March. The determination to de-
fer action on at least one apprprOi.
alton bill aud to lay over the Cen
sus Bill, will Of course open the
way for much general Legislation
and this suggests that many
measures other than that relating
TO the tariff will come up for con
sideration and probably be passed |
It the special session. A com
nlttee on the Census met yeSter-
lay to consider the Presidents !
7etOed measure. No formal &C
ion was taken, bur discussion in
indicated that it would
Ne unwlse at this late day to try
o pass the Census Bill over the
Presidents veto.

A STUDY IN NERVES..

DIR. Cook is in for it. The people
Who believed in him have turned
against him. And now, as always, it
is seen that no wrath can be so un-
forgiving as that of those first
awakening to the suspicion that they
have been badly fooled. What some
of them have already been saying
of the mountain climber and the pole
finder burns and Kisses with all the
resentment of a great wrong. The
masses are silent in thelr chagrln,
but if the deepest are dumb the shall
lowest murmur loud enough to COM
mand our attention.
The clamor first arose out of the
doctors sudden departure for parts
unknown. 1t has seemed to be the
consensus of opinion among the de-
ceiyed and disappointed, whose de-
ception and disappointment have
been voiced, that a man capable OIL
enduring the privations and expos
Tres incident to a trip to the end OF
the Arctic regions would have more
stamina and grit than to run away
from his enemies and hide himself.
That is most excellent reasoning, the
like of which, if employed by these
persons in the beginning, would have
saved them from the rage of humilia-
ton.
The average of reasoning among
the Cook partisans has been on the
line that no man would have what
they called the nerve" to come down
from the North and tell the scientific
and the civilized world that he had
-.--z.zl 49, Nyorth Dn1n unlQGC he
had really discovered it. This rea-
soning blinked the leaving of rec
ords and instruments behind him,
and it confounded nerve with au-
dacity. Audacity is almost always
a quality of weakness, leading men
with little or no real courage to
raise dangerous situations and to
stay with them until the crucial
point of action is reached. Then,
when the demand is for nerve, and
not audacity, the man breaks down.
Many audacious schemes are put
through by men without nerve, for
the reason that this point of crucial
action is not raised and they are not
pushed up against it. But anybody
taking the chance of Robert e.
Peary not raising and forcing such a
point, and of his not riding on whirl-
winds to get back sooner than he
was expected, must be audacious to
the point of losing sight of probable
ity, through that want of nervous
control which always accompanies
audacity and always obscures cool
Judgment. Anybody SO audacious IS
necessarily lacking in the nerve to
ctard ,,ndor fro of any kind. 1T may
be humiliating to have been fooled
by such a person, but perhaps the
Cook partisans should now temper
their age with wisdom and their
Justice with mercy.

many states. We can figure up right
now 100000 on the pictures alone,
and this goes whether the pictures
are good or bad, and whether there
is one round or forty. / think, my
self. that the fight will be pulled on
in salt Lake, for they say there that
thew can provide as good accommo-
dations as anywhere in the world.
IT is up to them to say the word by
the 18th of January. If they fall
down then the fight goes to a
Francisco, which in all probability
means Oakland. This fight will be
the greatest thing in the way OF
pugilistic events that has ever been
seen. The city getting it will have
to make arrangements to seat 10000
people, and they say in Salt Lake
that they can do that. Special trains
are already being made up in the va
rious big cities of the United States.
Butte alone will send 1000 people
to see the fight, and We hear every
day from other cities on similar
lines"

REFUND NOT PROVIDED FOR.

District Attorney G. X. Reeves mas
disapproved of three claims against
the county, ordered paid by the
county commissioners at their last
session. The claims are as follows:
Judell, Chandler & Quayle, SIS for
over-payment of tax on the Northern
Addition to Ely City; Cumberland
Ely Copper Co., s47.30 for over
payment of bullion tax during 1903,
adm Nevada Consolidated Copper Co.,
sS96.49, for over-payment of bullion
tax during 1903. The disapproval OF
the payment of these claims is on the
grounds that there is no statute au-
thorizing the county to make such
refunds.

DISTURBS PEACE IN
THEATER;; IS FINED
ASPIRANT FOR STAGE H0N0RS
CREATES EXCITEMENT
Completes with Piano Player, Turns
Solo Into Duet and Is Ousted
Forciby from Dress
ing Room

The failure of Thomas Massie. an
aspirant for stage honors, to wait for
amateur night" resulted in his arrest
and conviction on charge of disturb
ing the peace.
Massie appeared at the Oriental the
alter on East First street and witnessed
part of the performance. He tired OF
being a mere spectator and decided to
take part in the play. His first act
was to take a seat at the piano and
play a bit of rag time. This interior
ence was objected to by the regular
piano player and Massie was ousted
from his seat
Finding thta his music was not ap-
preciated Massie took a seat in the au-
dience and when a singer began a
sentimental ballad he arose and made
the piece a duet. When the oppor-
tunity came he wandered into one OF
the dressing rooms and had almost at
tired himself in fancy costume when
he was detected and assisted out OF
the place in a none too gentle manner
Then he decided he was sleepy and
wnt to a nearby winery and laid down
on a pile of bottles, which tumbled
down with a loud crash. A passing
patrolman heard the noise and dug
Massie out of a mass of broken glass
The would-be actor appeared In po-
lice court yesterday and was fined SIC
for disturbing the peace.

METHODIST HOSPITAL
ASSOCIATION FORMED
Structure on South Hope Street to Be
Occupied Temporarily Until Per-
manent Edificc Can Be
Erected on Site

The Methodist Hospital association
was organized yesterday afternoon at
meeting held at 1926 South Hope street.
Cant. o. ]. Nave was elected president
and Mrs. Arthur E. Gwynn was elected
secretary of the association.
The movement to establish Metho-
dist hospital in Los Angeles started
three Years ago, when the Women
Home Missionary society appointed a
committee of twenty-five to secure 2oO
members for an association. AS soon
as these 200 members were secured Ii
was understood that the <original COM
mittee of twenty-five should call a
meeting for the purpose of permanent
organization. This having been accom-
plished, the meeting was called and
took place yesterday at the proposed
site of the hospital
There is at this time building on
the lot which has twelve rooms. These
rooms are available for hospital pur-
noses and will be used as such until the
association can erect on the site
modern hospital building.
The meeting yesterday decided "a
elect a board of control to consist OF
twenty-five members, selecting Rev. H.
C! Cory as chairman of the board. II
was announced after the meeting that
the hospital would be opened about the
middle of July. The work of remodel
ing the house on the site is now being
done.

CHAUFFEUR UNSEATED
IN MOTOR COLLISION
Driver for Postmaster Flint Thrown to
Pavement and Severely Injured.
Big Auto Runs Into
Smaller One

David Roclair, 81 years old, of sos
Postmaster Motley H. Flint, had a mar
row escape from serious injury and
probably death yesterday afternoon
when the big Stoddard- Dayton which
he was driving collided with a smaller
car and rolled over several times at
Fifteenth street and South Grand ave-
nue.. The injured man was taken to
the receiving hospital. where Police
Surgeon Wright, after an examination,
found he had sustained a fracture of
the left cOllarbone and numerous
bruises about the face and body.
Roclair was driving the postmaster's
big auto south on Grand avenue. Ahead
of him was a smaller motor car being
driven by Albert Wehrly, a representa-
tive of the International Correspond
ence Schools of 522 South Main street.
Both drivers were nearing Fifteenth
street. Wehrly was going slowly and
Roclair, according to his own state
ment, was going rapidly. On reaching
Fifteenth street Wehrly swerved and
attempted to turn east, but was pre-
vented from doing so by northbound
street car Roclair evidently made a
miscalculation, and before he could
bring his auto to a stop collided with
the smaller machine, striking 1t near
the center. His auto skidded to one
side and then rolled over several times,
throwing out the driver and landing
against the curb in a wrecked condi-
ton.
The motorcar in which Wehrly was
seated was hardly scratched, and the
driver was not moved from his seat.

TO SETTLE MERGER
OF COLLEGE TO-DAY
OCCIDENTAL AND POMONA TO
DECIDE QUESTION
Site in New York Valley Offered to
Presbyterian Institution 1t Is
Believed Will Be
Accepted

The much mooted merger question
probably will be definitely settled at the
meeting of the trustees of Pomona anu
Occidental colleges this afternoon. The
trustees of Pomona will meet at
o'clock in the rooms of the Federation
club, notice of which meeting has been
issued by Secretary Sumner The De-
cidental board will hold their session In
the directors room of the German
American Savings bank building.
In addition to the disposition of the
proposed merger of the two colleges
the question of selecting president to
succeed DR.. George A. Gates of the
Claremont institution will be discussed.
The board has under consideration the
names of several men of high standing
in the educational world, from which
number DR.. Gates successor VIII
doubtless be chosen.
The report of the joint committee on
consolidation win be read to both
boards, and the nature of this report
will be kept secret until after today 3
meeting.
Although the members of the con-
solidation committee refused to dis
close the nature of their report, 1t IS
said that a report unfavorable to the
plan has been decided upon.
The Occidental trustees also viii
wrestle with the problem of obtaining
a new site for the institution. and for
many weeks have had several loca
lions under consideration. The OFF
of fifty acres of land in New York va
lev. adjacent to Highland Park, is said
to have been looked on with the most
favor, and, if a site is definitely deter
nine,. today, friends of the college an
ticipate that this land will be accepted.

TO KEEP
HOUSE OPEN TO ELKS
HEADQUARTERS CHOSEN FOR
REUNION WEEK
Members of 3. p. o. e. Will Have OPP
portunity to Register and to Secure
Information from Home
State Citizens

Illinoisans in Los Angeles have set
the pace for other state societies by IN
structing the officials of the Illinois
association of Southern California to
open an information and registration
bureau for the convenience and benefit
of the visitors from their state during
Elks' week. Yesterday Messrs. l.. ID.
Brodie, Harry A. Cole and Capt. M. D.
Hurley rented a booth in the exhibition
hall at 5S1 South Spring street, which
will be maintained as the society S
headquarters while the visiting Elks
are here.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee. held last night at the office OF
II. l.. Cornish in the Union Trust build
ing, a tentative plan was adopted for
seni-annual outing of the society. Inc
success of the first annual picnic, helo
Nav 20 at Playa del Rey, caused the
officials to believe that the Illinoisans
in Los Angeles and vicinity would IA
yor the holding of a harvest home and
melon festival" similar to those held
in Illinois in the fall. The date OF the
harvest home was not set, but 1t PROB
ably will be held in October.
Also it was voted to preserve the IN
diyiduality of the Illinois society ana
not to affiliate with any federation.

the ivy ceremony, This consists of
the planting of an ivy vine by the
members of the senior class with a
shovel presented to the university. by
the class of 1904, each succeeding class
carving their initials on the handle.
The ivy is emblematical of the stu
dents affection for their alma mater.
At this time it is also the custom for
every class to present the college with
some gift, the class of '09 having Sc
dected a silver-mounted gavel as its
tribute. All class rivalry is forgotten,
the juniors and seniors smoking to-
gether the pipe of peace. What is
known as the "doggone button is
handed down to the following class at
this time. The button, which is cheap
nickel affair, was originally awarded by
a professor of the class of 1893 to
pupil who had successfully played upon
him a practical joke. Since that time
it has been preserved as one of the
most valued treasures of the senior
class.
Preparations are now being made by
the faculty of the university to ac-
commodate an even larger enrolment
of students when the college opens for
its next term.
