and his fall. Yet his face was remarkably
cheerful when he sent attendant for Lord
Adalbert Beaumanoir.
What is the matter, old chap" demanded
Beaumanoir, strolling into his friends dressing
room few minutes later. Lord Adalbert never
hurried unless he on horseback. He was in
evening dress. and an opera hat was set rakishly
on the back of his head He was smoking, his
hands were thrust into his pockets. and the
mere sight of him served to remind Alec of the
larger world in whose daily round kosnovia and
its troubles filled SO insignificant part
In an oddly jubilant mood, Alec took pencil
and wrote in large characters on Beaumanoir's

LIVERYMAN AND INSPECTOR
RESUME LEGAL WARFARE

The legal warfare between Police In
spector Harry L. Varey and Dan f.
Hogan, manager of the Westlake sta
bles, was resumed yesterday morning
before Police Judge Frederickson,
where the latter appeared for his trial
on a charge of violating the ordinance
requiring all proprietors of public We
hicles to paint their names on the side
of the carriages.
Varey was the only witness called
by the prosecution. Objections to al
most all his testimony were made by
Paul Schenck, attorney for Hogan, and
sustained. Then the prosecution
stated that all its witnesses were not
present. The court allowed more
time in which to secure witnesses. The
case was continued until October 20
at 10 o'clock.
1t is contended by Attorney Schenck,
that the ordinance on which Hogan
was arrested, was virtually repealed
by the passage of another ordinance
which required the owners name to
be painted on the drivers boot" Of
the vehicles.
]. F. Hart of Hart Bros, who was
also arrested on the same ordinance
as Hogan, will have his trial at the
samc time.

ALARM SYSTEM INVENTOR
ACCUSES FIRE OFFICIALS S
Bureau Chief and Assistant Must
Answer Charges

Charges against j. c. Perry, super
intendent of the fire alarm bureau, and
William Morton, assistant superln-
tendent were filed with the fire com
mission yesterday by N. Banks Gre
gier, inventor of the Cregier alarm
system.
In his written charges Mr.. Cregier
claims that Perry and Morton, espe-
cially Perry, have systematically an
noyed him in his efforts to install the
Cregier system in the University dis
trict, and that they have occasioned
a part of the delay in putting the sys-
tenn into operation. He claims that
Perry deliberately misstated the num-
ber of operators it would take to op-
crate the Cregier system, and when
accused of this declared he had done
so in order to put three more men to
work than We're necessary.
The accused must face trial before
the commission next Thursday.

MIDDLE WEST LINES CUT
OUT EXCURSION RATES
Passenger Association Ruling to
Not Affect Coast

According to a circular letter sent
out by the Transcontinental Passen-
ger association from it's general Of
fees in Chicago, the railroads operat-
ing in the middle west hereafter VIII
not grant excursion rates to small or
ganizations travelling over it's lines
until the present traffic dispute pc
tween the transportation companies
and the government are settled. Inc
letter was received yesterday by I. G.
Beck, general passenger agent of the
Salt Lake, who states that its ruling
will not affect the lines on the Paclnc
slope. ~.
1t is said that the reason for with
drawing the excursion rates from
small social and fraternal organiza-
tions, conventions and the like is be-
cause of the fact that the middle west
railroads are compelled to work on a
basis of 2 cents per mile for passenger
transportation. When this is reduced
to fare and one-third for round TRIP
passage the passenger association
claims that there is no margin or pront
for the railroads.

Municipal Affairs
WILL CONSIDER 3-ZONE
PLAN FOR FIRE ALARM
Experts to Investigate PROPOSE
ton of Distributing Pres
ent System

A committee of experts is to be asked
by the mayor to investigate a PROPOSE
tion submitted to the fire commission
yesterday by c. o. Hawley for a three
zone fire alarm system. The committee
will consist of T. B. Comstock, en-
gineer of the public utilities commits
sion; e. f. Scattergood, chief electrical
engineer of the aqueduct department,
and C. e. Warner, expert electrician.
Something must be done soon to get
the fire alarm headquarters outside the
city hail. where it is cooped up in one
little room. The entire commission re-
alizes this, and Commissioner Owen has
been working on plan to house the
bureau. He found that by renting
quarters of the Home Telephone COM
pany the city would save several hun
dred dollars a month and have more
efficient service for the alarms.
Hawley's plan is to establish three
zones, with a fire alarm headquarters In
each zone. One would be in the Uni
versity district, where the Cregier head
quarters is now located; another at
Second and Hewitt streets, where it is
proposed to erect a small building that
will house the headquarters now in the
city hall, and third at First and Reno
streets, where the city owns fire en-
gine house lot. The First and Reno
plan would wait the city's further
growth.
A little tilt occurred during the dis
cussion between Mayor Alexander and
n. Banks Cregier on one side and Com
missioner Owen on the other. The
mayor declared that Mr.. Owen had said
the Cregier police boxes now being in
stalled in the city would not work and
that the city would not accept them.
Owen denied that he had made any
such remark, but declared the boxes
were not up to specifications and that
he was still of the same opinion. After
owens denial Cregier declared that
Owen had told him exactly what the
mayor said, but owen refused to con-
tinue a discussion on those lines.

LEGAL DIFFICULTIES MAY
DELAY ARROYO SEC0 FILL

Legal difficulties may be encountered
in the way of the city appropriating
money to pay one-fourth the cost OF
the earth fill across the Arroyo Seco
at Pasadena avenue. AS the proposed
fill will touch the city at only one
end and as there have been numerous
rulings by the city attorneys depart
ment that the city can legally spend
money on its own property, the same
principle may hold in regard to the
proposed fill.
W. H Humphreys, inspector of pub
lie works, has taken deep interest
in the matter. He objects to a fill at
this point and believes that if the city
has the legal right to spend money for
such a purpose it should be put into
a handsome concrete bridge.
