TEDDY MAY HEAD
SPANISH VETERANS
Roosevelt Mentioned as Candi-
date to Succeed Rear Admiral
Oscar w. FarenhOlt

NEW YORK, May 20.-Theodore
Roosevelt was mentioned today as a
likely candidate for commander in chief
of the naval and military order OF the
Spanish-American war, whose first
meeting will be held in New York to-
morrow. Rear Admiral Oscar W.
Farenholt of San Francisco is now
commander in chief.
There was good reason for the CALI
ing off of the carefully planned parade
which was to have been a feature of
the Roosevelt home coming welcome,
according to Cornelius Vanderbilt,
chairman of the committee in charge.
Applications for places in line had
become so numerous that it began to
appear as if the entire nation wanted
to march," said Vanderbilt, and the
applications that had been given the
official o. X and tabulated-a small
proportion of the whole-would have
formed a line of marchers many miles
in length.
TT would have taken such parade
at least "a hours to pass given point.
If the invitation had been left open
heaven only knows how long a line
we would have had"

RAILROADS BLAMED
FOR POOR BUSINESS
Slow Delivery Hurts San Fran
cisco in San Joaquin Valley

The realization that San Francisco
was not obtaining q fair share of the
trade of the San Joaquin valley has
resulted in the Merchants association
of this city making a thorough investi-
cation of the conditions, the report
of which was submitted to the board of
directors at it's meeting yesterday.
Warren Manley, the representative
of the association, who made the in
vestigation, declares that the main
causes for the lack Of business lies in
the poor delivery of freight and to the
fact that San Franciscans do not go
after the business.
During the Investigation Manley
visited II towns and conferred with
the proprietors of 96 concerns besides
numerous officers of business organiza-
tions. The report is voluminous one.
Many of the reasons for the lack of
business with San Francisco are trif1ing
and could be eliminated easily.

To UNLOAD
On CITY

As announced by The Press last
fall. when the injustices heaped
upon the water consumers Of the
Cannondae district by the Jones
arm Of the HiIlyard Water Co. we're
exposed, the company had the pur-
pose in view of selling its plant to
the city of Spokane.
Last night the Arthur d. Jones
Co. filed with the city council re-
quest that the city buy its plant.
The report cites the very excellent
condition in which the wooden main
water system owned by the syndi-
cate is alleged to be at the present
time. what great revenue pro-
Queer il is, and how advantageous
to the city it would be to buy it,
Just after the proposition of the
Jones company was read the city
council refused to accept a wooden
water main system in Monroe park
as a gift. so the chances of the
Jones crowd, which was repre-
scented on the floor of the council
last night by Gordon C. Corbaley,
of unloading its plant on the city
are not very good
When The Press produced the
facts to show the tyrannical manner
in which the Jones company has
handled the good people of Cannon
dale and adjacent additions it was
then said that the purpose of this
abuse was to irritate the people
that they would rise and demand
the purchase of the plant by the
city. through a sheer desire to be
free from Jones.
The citizens of the CannOndale
district do not want the city to
buy the Jones plant, but ask that
the city lay its own steel mains into
that territory.

to close the building on Saturday
afternoon at o'clock during July

man Lambert announced that he
had drawn up an ordinance which
would care for the request, so that
there was no councilmanic action
on the petition direct. The chances

When the women get stirred up
and visit the city council to de-
mand some right or concession it
is amusing to see how respectful
the councilmen are and how ready
they appear to grant what the dear

women are gone the councilmen
break their necks at the following
meeting to undo what they did
when the ladies appeared.
For some time the women living
in the region of Thirty sixth ave-

the committee on its first visit
failed through a misunderstanding
to get hearing.
Last night woman spokesman
appeared for the committee and in
a very forcible manner presented
the case. The councilmen from
the first ward reported that their
allotment of arc lights was exhaust

councilmen ordered that the first
ward aldermen again look into the
matter and report back on the ne
