is good time to slet well enough
alone" that the people Of the state
are not, clamoring for prohibition as
. part 81 the organic law, but prefer
to profit by Alabama's experience and
give the statutory enactment full con-
troll Of the situation.
This view was taken early in the
session by the conservative prohibi-
ton leaders. who stated that they did
not deem it wise to lanuch fight
at this time. Some Of the radicals,
however. showed an inclination to
take the bull by the horns,' SO to
speak, and launch fight. regardless
Of the prospects of support After
coming to jackson and reviewing the
situation, however, their plan evoked
such little sympathy that 1t was aban-
doned.
The prohibitionists are apparently
satisfied to wait and see whether the
legislature is going to call constitu-
tional convention, and event such a
body is authorized they will, of course,
make an effort to have prohibition in
serted as part of the organic law
Owing to the fact that the senate
rial fight has held the center Of the
stage continuously, there have been
no tangible developments indicating
that the nature of prospects for con-
stitutional convention. The leaders
of that movement are keeping in the
background. saying little, and appar-
entity doing less. It is stated, however,
that after the political horizon is
cleared they will get their forces to.
gether and renew the fight.

EXPECT RUCTIONS
IN BASEBALL CAMP
Schedule Committees Of National and
American Leagues Gather in the
Smoky City Today.
(sy Union A..oci.,.d pres..,

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 24.-All signs,
indications and prophesies point to
impending ructions in the. baseball
camps, by reason of this being the
place, day and date for the meeting
of the schedule committees of the Ma
tional and American Leagues. There
is, gloom on the faces of the baseball
date-makers, as also on the countenan-
COS of the joint rules committee men,
Eers, who are also foregathering in
the Smoky City today.
The schedules to be drawn up to-
day will not be finally acted upon
but are for pres entation to the Febru-
airy meetings of each league. The
schedule committee of each league
draws up a schedule of its own, and
the two then hold q joint session for
= revision TO avoid conflicting dates.
1t is this work that will be done here
today.
The National League voted for a
i6S-game schedule last December and
since then Charles H. Debbs, a men,
Der of the committee, has arranged a
schedule calling for the extra playing
period. Barney Dreyfus. another men,
Der, is ready to present the regular
schedule of 1874 games, and in his
first for return to the old schedule
is backed By Cincinnati. Boston and
st. Louis.
The row is purely business one.
Ebbets, having a losing club, wants
as many double leaders as possible,
as 1t means few extra dollars. Drey-
fus, who expects to win the pennant
again, says the Pittsburg club does
not have to arrange bargain cards to
get the patronage. Put there is one
other reason for Dreyfus's opposi-
ton. The longer schedule is a pet
scheme of Murphy's, anything that
Murphy of Chicago. wants, Dreyfus
is opposed to- 1t looks now as if Eb-
bets will lose out.
Barney says games played late in
October are OF little or no benefit to
the clubs participating in them, and

CHAMBER OF MINES TO
ATTACK S. P. GRANTS
Cases Involving Railroad Lands
Is Soon to Be Heard

The San Bernardino county land con-
test case of the Los Angeles chamber.
Of mines and oil and numerous in
dividuals against the Southern Pacihc
railway has not been decided in favor
Of the latter, as reported, according 10
Receiver o. r. w. Robinson and
Register Frank Buren of the United
States land office. There has been no
change In the status of the case, they
say. since May 4, when a hearing TO
determine the ownership of the land
was ordered
The railway had selected the lands
involved, which lie between Barstow
and Needles, by virtue of its primary
grant. The railroad, by the terms or
this early grant, was given the rlght
to select various parcels of land which
were non-mineral. Contestants TO the
railroads claim say the lands selected
were mineral.
The land officials must first satisfy
themselves that the railroads claim Is
a lust one before 1t can be granted a
patent.
The Los. Angeles land officials are
now in communication with the cham
her of mines and oil, which inquired
into the status of the case, and have
stated that they are now consulting
with the chief of the Sixth sfeld dl-
vision with the object of arranging a
time and place for the hearing

SUPPOSED GODSON OF
DIAz GETS SENTENCE
Ramon Manuel Wiley, Charged
with Burglary, to Serve
3 Years in Prison

Ramon Manuel Wiley, college boy
burglar and said to be the godSon or
Porfirio Diaz, president of Mexico, yes
terday was denied probation and SEN
te-Iced by Judge Davis of the criminal
department of the superior court to
serve three years in the penitentlary
at San Quentin.
Wiley is the son Of once promi-
nent factor in the financial world, who
resides in Vermont and who was in the
City of Mexico when the young man,
who was sentenced yesterday, was
born. Because of his close friendship
with the president of the southern re-
public that parsonage stood sponsor
for the baby boy at his christening.
Wiley started west about eight
months ago with $1,000 and fell into
bad companionship. His money soon
was spent with his evil companions
and then they told h,--l that a promis
ing young man like him should be able
to obtain money easily Burglary
was suggested and he acted upon the
suggestion, claiming that he was un-
der the influence of liquor when he
did SO. He entered the home of James
M. Yankie, real estate operator, who
resides at 654 South Bonnie Brae street.
He was surprised in his work of col
lecting a large amount of jewelry and
grappled with Mr.. Yankie and his son.
Wiley succeeded In getting away
from them and dashed up the street
to Seventh where he was captured
by f1remen, citizens and the police. He
claimed that he was so drunk that he
did not know what he was doing, but
Thomas Zeigler, police detective, tes-
titled that he said he "iust felt like
stealing something" that night.
Frank F. Pratt, Wiley's attorney,
made an eloquent plea for the young
man, but Judge Davis denied proba-
eion, saying that Wiley had had every
opportunity of education and should
not have fall IN into evil ways and
have committed such a crime as his
and then expect parole.
Wiley personally asked the court to
place him upon probation, saying his
father never had given him sympathy
and that he never had enjoyed friend
ship such as his attorney has given
him, but still probation was denied and
the penitentiary sentence was i'm
posed.

SANTA FE LOSES SUIT
FOR RECOVERY OF TAXES
Case Carried Trough 4 Courts
Decided in County'S Favor

The state supreme court has decided
in favor of Los Angeles county in
suit which the Santa F'e Railroad COM
gpany brought for the recovery of s492.-
so in taxes paid under protest in 1906
on a passenger station and orange
packing house located in the p1tA OF
the company's right of way through
Pasadena. The railroad company
claimed that because of the buildings
being in the right of way the property
could only be assessed by the state
board of equalization.
The contention was based on law
providing that railroad may be al
lowed a right of way nine rods wide.
Thirty feet was the width of the right
of way on which the tracks We're To-
Gated, and the company claimed the
right of including the station grounds
as long as they were situated in the
required width.
Hartley Shaw, deputy district at
torney, fought and won the case
through four courts on the grounds
that it was not a right of way be-
cause the railroad company was not
using 1t as such.

Music Notes

A most refreshing program opened
at Levy's Cafe Chantant syesterday
with new and snappy numbers. Miss
Dupree gave 1.-THE Time, the Place and
the Girl" which Is a modern bit, and
and I'm Not That Kind of GirP'
drew forth frequent applause. Hip
ip-Hipnotize Me" was another talka-
logue full OF ginger.
Fern Melrose presented more pre-
tentious group of songs than last week.
"Star of My Dream, Shine On" was
delightfully done. every Little
Movement" from Madame Sherry, was
repeated by request. Her operatic Sc
lection, "Amo," new here, was given
in splendid style.
The Hungarian Grozien troupe pre-
sented an entirely new arrangement of
dances, uniting the Russian court
dance, the Hungarian peasant dance.
and a group of Russian songs, full Of
action.
The surprise of the evening was
Lille Lillian, from the Imperial Grand
opera at Vienna. Those who expected
the usual cafe idea of a finished singer
were most agreeably surprised. There
has been no voice in the Levy olio
equal to that of Miss Lillian. Her
work with the Vienna grand opera Is
fully demonstrated in the splendid rem
dition of "Mondlied" and the grand
aria, 'Bist du es lachendes Gluck."
If Manager Levy continues to put on
a bill like the one of this week he will
undoubtedly have the standing room
sign out both afternoon and evening.
The Kammermeyer orchestra Is still
a feature OF the Levy program.
