UMPIRE WILL
HAVE FULL SWAY
Amended Rules Of Baseball
Give Him Absolute Power.
MANY POINTS MADE CLEARER.
Average Diamond Fan Will Under
stand Things More Clearly Than
Ever-What the Changes In the
Rules Are.

The revised playing rules of baseball
amended by the joint rules committee
of the National and American leagues
in Pittsburg last January We're given
out recently. The most striking fea-
ture of the revised rules is the impor-
of the umpires. This season more than
ever before in the history of the game
the umpire will be the reigning power
on the diamond.
The new rules establish a double UNI
pire system for all games, with an UNI
pire in chief behind the bat to judge
balls and strikes and certain decisions
at third base and a field umpire to
judge base decisions. The umpire in
chief will have full charge Of the game
and will alone have authority to de-
clare a game forfeited. The field UNI
pire has full authority in removing
and fning players. The two officials
must work in harmony, and in case a
point is raised on a decision based on
a point of rules one umpire may ask
for information from the other, but
n umpire will not interfere with 4.
others decision unless asked to by his
associate.
The players are prohibited from dis
putting the accuracy of the umpire's
judgment, and not ever the captain of
a team can call the umpire's attention
to what he believes to be a violation
of the rules.
Hereafter when a player is elected
from the game for violation of the
rules he will not be allowed to loiter
about the grounds or grand stand, but
is d~ecisively banished to the clubhouse
and must stay there or leave the
grounds. and If he doesn't the umpire
is given the power to forfeit the game.
The umpire can also fine a player So
for discoloring the ball, for refusing
to be seated IN the bench one minute
after ordered to do so. if he violates
the coaching rules and If the captain
fails to notify the official of a change
in lineup.
The revised rules give the umpire alb
solute power over the players on the
bench and to do away with all the
rowdyism which has started at this
quarter in the past. The umpire is
given power to fine substitute players
for yelling disapproval from the bench
$40, and if the unsolicited conversation
continues he is given power to clear
the bench and send the whole crew of
substitutes to the clubhouse and have
them come out only as they are needed.
The new code provides for several
changes in relation to ground rules.
In case of an overflow crowd if the
captains of the teams cannot agree on
ground rules the umpire will have full
authority to make special rules. If a
thrown ball goes into the spectators
or through a fence surrounding the
field or into the players bench the run
ner will be entitled to two bases. The
umpire must be certain that both teams
have agreed to special ground rules be.

"CHANTECLER" COSTUMES.
Pheasant Gown Worn by Nine. Simone
Unique and Costly.

The costumes in Rostand's new play,
"Chantecler." are the most remarkable
ever designed for use on or off the
stage. Probably the one attracting
the most attention is that worn by
Nine. Sinone. In the creation OF this
dress the plumage Of 10000 p%heasants
was used. which alone cost $500.
This wonderful costume consists of a
whalebone frame covered with can
vas, which, in turn, is covered with
the plumage Of the multitude Of birds
that had to be slaughtered for the pur-
pose.
To get the true effects Of the mark
ings Of a pheasant it was necessary
to have over twenty shades of color.

RAISE PRICES
ON AQUEDUCT
COST OF LIVING FOR LABOR
ERS is INCREASED
Board of Public Works Signs Contract
Which Means $4,000 Yearly
to D. J. Desmond Com.
pany

A new contract allowing the d. j.
Desmond company to charge the 3000-
odd laborers now working on the 240-
mile aqueduct more money for their
food, thereby giving the subsistence
company an additional yearly income
of $4,000, was executed yesterday by
the board of public works. The in
creased cost of foodstuffs is given as
the reason. The new contract provides
that instead of the former rate of IS
for twenty-one meals given the city
employees working on aqueduct con-
struction, q new rate of % cents per
meal shall be charged. This means
that each workman will pay 25 cents
more a week than under the old con-
tract.
Two weeks ago the Desmond COM
pany. petitioned the board of public
works to be allowed to charge more
for the meals 1t is supplying the men.
After an investigation of the condi-
tions, the board found that the con-
tentions of the company-that it could
not supply food at the old price and
keep its head above water-were well
founded. The board decided that the
subsistence company ought to be given
a chance to make a fair profit. AS the
result of this investigation the new
contract was signed yesterday.
There are in the neighborhood of
5000 men working on the aqueduct at
the present time. Thus the Desmond
company gains approximately $3.50 a
week, or $4,000 a year.

That Mrs. Mary e. Hay, plaintiff in

social ladder and that her efforts in
this direction was one of the causes

ways as friend and never for money.

Hay he had poor opinion of any per-
son who would borrow silver from her
neighbors in order that she might
break into the best society,""

have been used by Hay on other oc-
casions, Mrs. Flinsberg said he hurled
profanity at the chickens one day,
asked him to bring in some coal, he
'swore for twenty minutes" adding
he was still swearing when she left
the house.
e. A. Van Rankin, called by Hays
attorneys said he had never seen Hay
intoxicated nor had he missed DAY

The desertion, she said, occurred nine

JeWeIer Tells How Broker Brown OBJ
tained $1,000 from Him BY
Worthless Bit of
Paper

Harry d. Brown, now being held in
the county jail awaiting sestence on
conviction of embezzling money from
DIR. Nettie D. Hammond, was without
an attorney when he appeared in Jus
tice Summerfield's court yesterday for
preliminary examination on another
serious accusation, that of passing a
Fictitious check for $1,000 on Joseph
Rittigstein, a jeweler at $40 South
Broadway. Brown said his attorney,
A. A. Sturges, who defended him in
the Hammond case, had withdrawn
and he wanted time in which to pro-
cure another lawyer.
One continuance in the case had been
granted several days ago and Justice
Summerfield declined to permit further
delay. Attorney Sturges was sum-
moned by telephone and on request of
the court took charge of Browns
case until noon, when the examination
was continued until February Is.
Rittigstein was on the stand more
than an hour. The check made the
basis of the criminal proceedings
against Brown, he said, was given to
him by Browns clerk, thinner, Feb
ruary 18, 1909, in exchange for a check
for the same amount.
"I met Brown In July or August
19OS," said the jeweler, land had some
telephoned me the morning of February
1S, that ne was playing the market
and could not get to hif office; that
he had left number of checks signed
in blank at his office, but that his
cashier, thinner, had no authority to
get them cashed. On his request, 1
agreed to give him one of my own
checks for $1,000 in exchange for one
of his for the same amount. The check
was brought to my place of business
by thinner In the afternoon and l gave
thinner my check on the Bank of
Southern California"
Rittigstein said he received requests
later from Brown to hold back the
check from the Los Angeles Trust
company, on which 1t was drawn, and
finally became suspicious. An investi-
cation, he said. disclosed the fact that
Brown had no funds at the bank with
which to meet payment of the check.
Brown will be in Judge Davis court
tomorrow, when a motion for a new
trial of the Hammond case will be
decided If this motion is denied, 1t Is
probable sentence will be imposed i'm
mediateiy.

DEMANDS BIG SUM
FOR RUINED HOME
WHITTIER RANCHER is SUED
FOR $4,000
Railroad Agent Declares That His
Sons Are Motherless Because
Wife Was Shared by Free
Use of Money

Edward r. Guirado, one Of the
wealthiest ranchers in the Whittier
district, who was sued for divorce by
his wife three months ago. was again
made defendant in an action filed in
the superior court yesterday, the con-
tents of the complaint revealing plain
ly the charge on which Mrs. Guirado's
appeal for legal separation is based.
Guirado. in the suit filed yesterday,
is accused of alternating the affections
of Dolly l.. Schenck, wife of d, B,
Schenok, agent for the Southern Pa
cific company at Covina. The action
was filed by Mattison B. Jones of the
law firm of Jones & Evans on behalf
of Schenck, who demands $50000 from
the rancher on account of the break
ing up of his home.
Matters have come to a point where
Mr.. Schenck was compelled to appeal
to the courts for relief" said Attorney
Jones last night. "He is now living in
Covina with his two motherless sons,
while the whereabouts of Mrs Schenck
are not known. She is believed to be
somewhere in Los Angeles
The Schencks were married at Nor
walk August s, 1891. A little more than
four years ago they removed to Whit
tier. where Schenck was employed as
agent for the railway company. A
few months after their arrival, accord
ing to Schenck's story, his wife met
Guirado, wealthy owner of the Cui-
RADIO ranch. Other meetings followed
while Schenck was absent from his
home, and ha was later told of fire.
quent rides by his wife in Guirados
carriage.
"Time and again." said Schenck, "I
tried to win back her affections. and
sometimes 1 thought myself success
full. Then / would return home to find
the house empty, with no word to ex-
plain my wife's absence"
A year ago. he says. the alienation
of her affections became complete, and
he gave up all hope of reaching any
agreement that might mean q happy
home life In the future.
Schenck alleges misconduct on his
wife's party, who, he says, was lured
by the prodigal MINER In which Gui-
RADIO spent his wealth. Information,
he asserts, was given him within the
past week or ten days that Guirado
persuaded Mrs. Schenck to accompany
him to his room at the Nadeau hotel
July 12, 1907. and that visits of sim
liar character were made to Guirado's
temporary quarters in the United
States hotel in october and November,
last year.
