ter.

was the completion of the stand

meeting it was announced by the
mayor that Mr. Huetter had agreed
to be good and proceed to rush the

sumed. The waterproofing for the

nounced, was on hand and would

possible.

NEARLY
KILLS MAN

With blood flowing from his nose,
mouth and ears, and grooming in
agony from his injuries, Walter
Cadogan, apparently a mechanic,
was found on the rocky bank of
the river near the Pacific Towel
Co.'S establishment on East Main
avenue, near Sheridan street this
morning. He had been drinking
and is believed to have staggered
off among the rocks and fallen,
sustaining his injuries from the eff
fects of drink.
When found, he was perilously
balanced near the brink of the pre-
cipitous side of the river bank,
where, had he turned, he would
have fallen many feet down to
shelving rocks and from there
bounded into the river. He was
neatly dressed and seemed not to
have been the victim Of a holdup.

NEW REAL ESTATE
ADVERTISING SYSTEM

The No Commission Realty Ad-

handling real estate. Instead of
charging a commission for dispos-

charges only a small sum for listing
property. The property is then ad,
vertised in a real estate publication
issued by the company, and if dis
posed of during the month for which
listing fees have been paid, no
further charge is made.

WANT TAFT TO

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The
regulars today refrained from any
further effort to pass the rate bill.
They are waiting until the presi-
dent returns from his western trip
tomorrow, SO that he might exam
inc the wreckage OF the measure
and decide what action he desires
the leaders to take.
When he returns there is every
indication that there are to be some
hot sessions between Taft and the

intended to tell the president
point blank" that he had no bust

DON'T WANT ANY
PRATT COMMITTEES

The statement that the Grand
Army was in favor of having Mayor
Pratt appoint another investigating
committee to inquire into the FL
lott case is misleading. 1t placed
in the right light before the public
facts in this case which the mayors
former investigating committee
should have inquired into and laid
bare but it did not do so.
The Grand Army is not seeking
any more investigating committees
to be appointed by Mayor Pratt.
The Elliott case has twice been in
vestigated by John Sullivan, chief
of police, and once by a committee
picked by Sullivan and the mayor,
hence the veterans think there has
been about enough investigating
from that source.
