WINERY MEN FIGHT LOCAL
OPTION FEATURE IN LAW
Ask Ordinance Amended to Apply
to VinecuIturaI Products

A concerted effort was made by the
winery men of the county yesterday to
change the local option feature in the
new license ordinance as applied to
their wineries.
Guy Barham, representing the wine
manufacturers, and Claude Parker, in
ternal revenue collector for the govern
ment, appeared before the board of su-
peryisors and asked to have the ord1-
nance amended and apply to vine
cultural products instead Of wine and
to except manufacturers of fortified
sweet wine-under the supervision of
the goVernment-from the provisions
of local option If more than 100 tons OF
grapes a year are used.
Mr.. Parker based his request on the
grounds that the governments revenue
from the sale of brandy in this dis
trict was entirely cut off under the
present order OF things and that the
change to "vinecultural products
would admit the sale of brandy.
Supervisor Manning feared that the
change In the ordinance might afford
an opening for the wineries to carry
on their business as previously and ad-
Vised the board not to take immediate
action but refer the amendment to the
license committee for consideration.
Although Mr.. Barham urged lmfne-
diate action the board continued the
matter until its next meeting Thurs
day.

NE ETAL WORKERS SUBMIT
PROPOSITION TO MAYOR
Strikers Confer with City's Ex-
ecutive on Settlement
by Arbitration

Steps toward arbitrating the strike
of the metal trades workers were ta-
ken yesterday afternoon, when a dele
cation of the strikers, led by C. M.
Fielder, visited Mayor Alexander and
submitted a proposition to him to sub
NIT to their employers.
The mayor refused TO state the prop
osition that has been made, but he
agreed to submit it in behalf of the
strikers. If the employers agree to
arbitration the mayor may act as the
odd member of the arbitration board
1t is expected a committee of five
will be named by the employers to
meet a committee of the same number
of the strikers and the mayor will be
the eleYtnth man. He has offered tC
do anything he can to bring the stl ike
to a conclusion and the strikers say
they are willing to meet their former
employers more than half way. -
Charles F. Grow, business agent of
the Machinists' union, headed the del
egation of five unionists which called
on Mayor Alexander.
1--WE called on the mayor" said Mr..
Grow, "after learning from the press
that the city's chief executive was will
ing to lend his efforts to secure a set
tlement of the strike, by bringing
about a conference between the dis
senting parties.
Union labor has always been willing
to meet the employers half way in the
settlement of any difficulty. We ex-
pressed our willingness. to arbitrate
the subject of the present contention
and 1 presume a meeting between the
strikers and their former employers
will be arranged at an early date"

MAYOR HASTENS EXIT
Of ANNOYING CALLER
Executive ReSents Conduct of a
Man Who Makes Unbound
ed Charges in Office

Lorenzo Romans, 159 North Work
man street, went out of the mayors
office in a hurry yesterday morning.
His haste was occasioned by the fact
that the mayor was close behind him,
so close, in fact, that he had one hand
on Romans collar and the other in
another position that accelerated Ro-
mans speed.
Romans headed a party that called
on the mayor to protest against the
establishment of the garbage-loading
station on the Covina line, east of the
Soto street bridge. During the dis
cussion one man in the party said that
he understood Charles Alexander, the
garbage contractor, was brother OF
Mayor Alexander, and declared Ro-
mans was responsible for the state
ment. The mayor has heard the same
thing before and had information that
it originated from Romans.
He told Romans that he did not pro-
pose to have him in his private office.
The mayor ordered Romans to leave,
and Romans refused to go. Then the
mayor who is near his three-score and
ten, hustled his unwelcome visitor, who
is still in his thirties, out of his private
office and warned him to stay out.
The water board found 1t necessary
some time ago to cut down the Hazard
park reservoir. When this was done
some property Romans owns on NIL
could not be furnished with water, and
since then he has criticised the water
board, and especially William Mulhol'
land, the superintendent.

BUFFALO BILL TO BRING
MUSICAL ELEPHANTS
Wild West and Far East Show to
Open Here Oct. II

The unwieldy elephant has taken a
course in the animal trainers college
of music, and instead of enacting the
ordinary stunts of standing on front
or hind legs, trumpeting at command,
living down and rolling over and taking
part in the heavy work of moving cir
Gus wagons, he now takes his place
among the artists" of the animal king
dom. The science Of training elephants
has reached perfection with Rossfs
musical elephants, which form part
of the Wild West and Far East exhibit
ton which Buffalo Bill and Pawnee
Bill will bring to Los Angeles october
II and 49, These mammoths pump
organs with their feet, blow trumpets
and ring bells all in time and tune and
in musical harmony. Their marches
are made musical by the ringing of
many-toned bells, and they play cords
upon the organs and blow harmony out
of their trunks through trumpets. AL
though these accomplishments are diff
ficult to associate with the cumber-
some elephant, the Rossi herd is thus
favored. Years of patient endeavor
have been consumed in bringing about
the development of the elephantine
musical talent, but the labor has not
been lost In presenting the speciality
four pretty girls beautifully gowned
assist in the concert, dance with the
elephants and constitute an attractive
feature of the oriental spectacle en-
braced in the Far East section of the
Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill exhibit
ton. They will be the feature of a
scene which will introduce Hindu
takers, Arabian athletes, Japanese Jug
glers, Whirling Dervishes and other
strange people from across the sea in
a melange of oriental scenes and Incl
dents typical of the Far East which
Pawnee Bill accurately depicts.

STEAMER IS EXPECTED
FOR C0ASTWISE TRAFFIC
Large Vessel Coming from Allan
tic to Carry Freight

The Bates & Cheeseboro Steamship
company's first boat to arrive in Los
Angeles harbor is due here October II
from San Francisco en- route to Pana-
ma and New York city. 1t will be the
steamer Olsen Mahoney, one of the
largest freight vessels on the Atlantic
coast.
AS announced some time ago in
The Herald, the Bates & Cheeseboro
company is invading the Pacific with
a line of ships to operate between San
Francisco and New York city via Pan
ANA, and it is expected that it will do
much to create lower rates by water
between the west and east. According
to reports from the water front, the
first boat sailing from here under the
management of tle new company will
be heavily laden with local goods, as
a quantity Of frOlght has been re-
ceived already for shipment by the
Crescent Wharf and Warehouse COM
pany, which is handling freight for
them.
In fact, so promising Is the outlook
for heavy freight business from this
port that the company purchased a
new freighter last week, the Leelanaw,
to be used in conjunction with its other
steamers. This purchase possibly will
give Los Angeles harbor a better sery-
Ice than at first contemplated, the
boats leaving about every three weeks
instead Of once q month.

CHARGE MAN MAKES TRADE
OF STEALING MOBILES
Petty Larceny Case to Be Tried
in Superior Court

A common hose nozzle is an insig-
nificant thing, but it may be the cause
of F. Davies being sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of five years.
Davies, who, the police say, Is con-
firmed "hose nozzle thief" was held to
answer to the superior court by Police
Judge Fredericton yesterday on a
charge of petty larceny. He Is now IN
the county Jail in default of $4,000 cash
bail.
Davies has been before the police
authorities several times on similar
charge. Each time he was convicted
and sentenced to a short stay In jail.
He is said to have been convicted
twenty-eight times of the thefts of
hose nozzles.
What his purpose is in stealing the
nozzles or what he does with them Is
not known. He always seeks employ
ment as a gardener, and while working
in the gardens, it is alleged, steals the
nozzles.
The charge upon which he was tried
yesterday was filed by S. Grant, who
lives at West Fifteenth street and
Grand avenue.

a Former Policeman
QUESTION OF A PAWN TICKET
Husband Says Brother Promised
and Failed to Redeem Ar
tiCIe Left in Shop
OF A PAWN TICKET

For the second time, at least, in the
life of William L. Claiborne, formerly
a member of the Los Angeles ponce
force, diamond cut diamond dlsas-
trously for him yesterday. >,
In the case In point, which is ul-
vorce case, Mrs. Blanche M. Claloorne
is suing her husband for a permanent
separation for q series of causes Whlch
began with his asking her, she charges'
to refund to him a diamond engage
ment ring valued at $500 and accepllhs :
in it's stead one valued at most at
only $3.50, though she asserts thaC
when she pawned it she could get oliS
$75 on 1t, .
On the ground that he had threat
ened to Kill her, Mrs. Claiborne, a
bride of only few months, sought
divorce on the charge of extreme cru
city. She alleged that he had given
her an engagement ring valued at $oOV,
and later had asked her to give II
back to him. She did so, she told the
court. Then, she asserted, he left her
without money, and she found II nee
essary to pawn the ring which hau
been given her to bind her engage
ment to her husband. She was apie
to obtain only SIS on 1t, she salu,
though Claiborne had told her 1t was
worth fully $3.50.
DECLARED WIFE PAWNED RING
When the case first reached the
courts the husband was ordered to pay
the wife alimony pending the nearing.
He declared he could do so II 1t were
not for the fact that the vile hau
pawned his ring, leaving him destitute.
If he could get it back, he aVerreu, II
would be possible for him TO opey
the courts order. The court, with tne
consent of the wife, ordered the pawn
ticket to be returned to the HUSBAND.
The case came up again yesterday
before Judge Hutton. The huspahu
declared that his brother mad taken
the pawn ticket and had promised 10
redeem the ring. He left the mouse
with the ticket and the promise anu
has not been heard from since.
The court told the husband and MS
attorney that in order for them to
keen faith with it 1t would be neces-
sarv for them to raise the money foi
the alimony or to give back to the VIE
the pawn ticket. After that ultllnatuii
had been given the case was continued
until this morning.
claiborne was dismissed from the po
lice force not long ago because n'
gambled over diamond rings with Dr
Thomas w. Taggart. Each decldLe'
that his gem was the better. Ihey ue'
cided to leave it with diamond experts
the one who was right to take potL
rings. Claiborne won, and 1assaI
took the matter to the pollce coIilIillS-
sion, with the result that the ollcei
was dismissed for gambling.

sHIPOWNERS INDORSE
BAY CITY HARB0R BONDS
$9,000,O00 for Docks Approved,
but $1,O00,OOO India Ba-
sin Act Turned Down

The Snipowners' association of the
Pacific coast has adopted a resolution
favoring the proposed 100000 bond
issue for the improvement Of San
Francisco harbor and urging the de-
feat of the 81 100000 bond issue known
as the India Basin Act" which, the
association says, is an unnecessary
and unwarranted burden on the ship
ping interests of the coast. The reso-
lutions follow:
Whereas, 1t Is proposed at the
coming November election, to sub
nit to the voters of the state, two
bond issues which affect the ship
ping interest of San Francisco,
namely, senate bill No. 485, an
act providing for the issuance Of
$9,O0O,000 in bon Is, for the improve
ment of San Francisco's harbor,
and the other is senate bill No.
227, which is known as the India
Basin Act" and calls for a ST.
100000 issue to condemn and pur-
chase some SO blocks of submerged
land and mud flats, south of Islais
creek, in South San Francisco, and
Whereas, this association consid-
ers that the SO, 10000 900 issue for the
improvement of San Francisco's
harbor, such as the replacing of
the old, dilapidated docks and
piers, with new and modern ones,
and the further improving and
building of more docks on the
water front, that the state already
owns, is public necessity, and,
Whereas, this association consid-
ers it would be great injustice to
divert revenues from shipping for
the purpose of buying real estate
for a so-called inland harbor, as
San Francisco does not need such
harbor, as the natural water
front in our safe and land-locked
harbor, when properly equipped
with modern docks, will take care
of all the commerce that Will ever
come to this port, and that, with
out buying one foot of additional
land, and,
whereas, the proponents Of this
so-called India Basin Act" bond
issue claim the people Of the state
will not contribute to the payment
of these bonds and that the har-
Dor revenues will meet the interest
and sinking fund, but every ship
per to San Francisco harbor, and
every consumer will pay his pro
rata, as the tolls and dockage, al
ready too high, will be raised to
meet this added and unnecessary
burden.
Resolved, that the Shipowners'
association of the Pacific coast in
dorse the $9,000,000 bond issue, for
needed harbor improvements for
San Francisco's harbor, and urge
the favorable consideration of them,
by every voter in the state.
Resolved, that the Shipowners'
association of the Pacific coast does
not indorse the s1,0OO,0O0 bond is
sue for what is known as the "In-
dia Basin Act" bonds, and earnest
ly urge that all voters through
out the state, vote against this
unnecessary and pernicious bond
issue.
Resolved, that copy of the above
resolution be sent all commercial
organizations, and the press of the
state of California, respectively urg-
ing upon the voters the views of
this association.

ton of the Pacific Coast.

Worship of Burns

In the thick-and-thin worship of their
literary hero Burns lovers seem to Guido
every other class of admirer. Forty years
ago the crowd fought for punch ladies in
the Charles Dickens sale. Robert Burns
has been dead nearly ia years, yet his
cult shows no abatement of worship. His
relics are sacrosanct, says the London
Telegraph. Manuscripts of his poems fetch
hundreds of pounds. Five years ago the
market went mad over his family Bible
when 1t was offered at Sotheby's. Deal
ers from Edinburgh, engineers from Glas-
gov and Highland farmers up for the
cattle show fought Mr.. Quaritch and
found second Flodden. Yet after he had
bid f1560 he generously released the relic
and 1t now reposes In the Burns museum
at Alloway. Yesterday in the same rooms
the poets old mahogany desk came up.
The cataloger called 1t bureau. 1t Is a
shabby piece Of farmhouse furniture three
and one-half feet wide. usefully drawered
and pigeon-holed. AT Ellisland or at Dunn
fries Burns wrote upon 1t many a men,
orable lyric. such as Scots Wha Haer
and Aud Lang Syne." His widow. Jean
Armour, kept 1t in memory of her man.
Through various hands 1t went to Miss
Annie Burns Of Cheltenham. Yesterday
Mr.. Quaritch again fought his opponents
to a standstil1, winning the relic against
Mr.. Snowden, representing a commission
on the box. at the great sum of 1900. Just
before Daniel O'CoRnell's black oak writ
ing desk found nobody willing to 60 be-
yond guinea
