| Petitions Referred aaa
Petitions from several women's So
cieties in different parts of the south
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and
other states. were represented, urging
against the granting of conference rep
resentation to women.
The petition asking for these lay
mems rights from the Women's Home
mission secretary, followed the protest
and like 1t was referred to the com
mittee on revisals. 1t is practically
certain that it will be adversely re-
ported and 1t is very likely the report
will be adopted by the conference
memorial asking that the use OF
tobacco be prohibited was referred to
the committee on itineracy, causing a
laugh.
The rest of the session was devoted
to the reception of petitions and me-
MORALS. These under the rules were
referred without debate to the proper
standing committees. 1t was agreed
to meet each morning at 9 and to
adjourn a l p M, to give the COM
mittees time to meet each afternoon.
A short address by Rev. J. w. Tar
box, a missionary from Brazil, excited
some enthusiasm. The conference ad-
journed for the day at l D. m.

CONDUCTOR USES PUNCH
To PUNCH A PASSENGER
Dispute on Street Car Leads to
Beating Of Salesman by
Bell Ringer

A dispute over the amount of change
resulted in a fight on Dalton avenue
car at Fifth and South Broadway late
last night, in which c. c. Clark,
travelling salesman from San Francisco,
was beaten on the head by Conductor
r. Baker.
The fight occurred when the car was
crowded. and a panic resulted as the
conductor and the salesman fought.
Finally the wife of the salesman
Jumped between the two men and sue
ceeded in stopping the fight. The head
of the salesman was battered, he hav-
ing suffered five deep lacerations, the
most serious of which was a two inch
cut near the right temple.
Before the police ambulance arrived
Clark was weak from loss of BLOOD and
his wife's white dress was smeared
with the flying blood. The conductor
escaped without a scratch.
Patroman Cline, after sending the in
iured man to the receiving hospital,
took Baker to the police station, as 1t
was first thought his victim was fatally
injured. At the receiving hospital Mrs.
Clark said the blows inflicted on her
husband were made by the punch WELD
ed by the conductor. She aYerred her
husband handed the conductor 81 and
her husband gave her the change,
counting it and saying it was 10 cents
short, and asked the conductor to count
it, According tc her story, the latter
refused and an argument followed, in
which her husband joined. a few
words were followed by blows
After his injuries were dressed Clark
was taken to his rooms in the Hollen-
beck hotel.
Conductor Baker was released under
$50 bonds.

WITH ROD AND GUN

TN HE eventful day is next Sunday, May l.
Only a naturalist could have successfully
II selected the several varieties of the
much-sought- trout which were the ma
terial for the sport up to date. Now. even
the bent-pin fisherman may journey forth to
the ripping home of the elusive game, and
provided he carries a government inspected
tape he may safely frcassee the fruit of his
days toil that from gill to tail covers even
five inches. An inch or two more will not
matter but an inch or two less means any
where from a double eagle TO six months
wages If the ever searching eye of Deputy
Pritehard is near For even the hand of
the law is developing its biceps and many a
too anxious fiycaster has had cause to rue the
day he invested his capital in such deluding
snare as rod and reel.
Already has the exodus begun, and eager
fishermen are crowding around the ticket win
dows to be the first to toss his favorite fly into
the hungry gills of a record trout. Sporting
houses in Los Angeles are thronged daily with
crowds Of those who have caught the epidemic
and window displays of happy anglers just
netting their big producing a feeling
Of unrest among the passerby that cannot be
shaken off. The call of the wild is even
stronger at times than the call of the diamond
sprng-tme charms of a temporarily more en-
ticing game.
Reports from the Fillmore camps seem to
be unanimously joyful in the prospects ahead
and the first weeks catches will undoubtedly
be limit baskets. The hot weather is thawing
out the streams of the colder districts and the
spawning season is now about over. The re
gion about the Sespee and the Santa Paula
creek is the destination Of goodly number
Of the early anglers, and It has become by
word with the follower of the fishing game
that no one ever comes away from Fillmore
empty HANDED.
The north cannot boast a better assortment
of trout streams than those within couple
of hundred miles of Los Angeles, and the
sport is developing into one Of the mile stones
Of the vacation time. 1t has been only lately
that the possibilities Of fresh water fishing in
the country about Los Angeles have been to
more than the initiated few and the attrac-
tions of the sport are now bringing more and
more tourist fishermen to our city who would
not know how to behave themselves were they
not able to HE themselves away during the
"call times" of the hot summer months to
tempt a luscious morsel from its home pool.

VISITORS THREATEN IN LAST
Light Onto New Pitcher for Two
Runs in Ninth, but They Are
Stopped by BriSWaIter
COAST LEAGUE STANDING

Although Vernon won its game with
Oakland in the north, the suburban
kids did not unite their loving en-
brace with the Angels in the percent
age column because the Angels also
won their game, the first of the series
to be played here with Sacramento
Teh score was to 2 in favor of Hank
Berrys aggregation, and the exhibition
was a classy one all the way, with
Los Angeles always holding a COM
manding lead.
Criger was given his first real try
out of the season, and although he was
yanked out of the game in the middle
of the ninth inning, when the Sena-
torial aggregation seemed about to
make a winning finish, he twirled
good ball and is entitled to the credit
for winning the game. Criger allowed
six hits and two runs, both OF Wnlch
runs came in the last inning after
row of eight ciphers. Only brace OF
free passes otherwise marred his good
performance, and the record made, all
things considered, was most credlt-
able.
Los Angeles got off to a flying start
by scoring three times in the first in
ming, this seeming to be a habit with
them. Thereafter they found Whalen
something of a ! uzzle and made rev
hits and no runs until Ine elBilh'
when they tossed over another one for
good measure. FoNr hits netted the
three runs scored the first inning.
Daley drove to center for safety and
went to second on Ross bunt down
the first base line Howard bunted
down toward third and filled the bases.
Dillon landed all three runners safely
at home with a mighty swat to right
for a pair of cushions The other run
also was earned on timely hitting
Ross singled infeld. but was caught
stealing second. Howard beat out an
| other bunt and in turn was forced at
| second by Dillon. Murphy singled to
! center and Roth did likewise, scoring
| Dillon
Sacramento found Criger most mys-
tifying until the ninth, when success
| sive swats gave them two runs and
! forced Dillon to remove all chance or
| losing the game by taking Criger out
| and substituting Briswalter. Van
| Buren, was safe on Delmas' bobble and
Perry doubled to right, sending Van
TO third. Danzig doubled to left, scor-
| ing Van and Perry. Then Criger was
| taken out and the best the Senators
could do with Briswalter was to go out
in one, two three order on pretty in
| field plays.
Following is the tabulated score Of

His Blood Too Warm
PUTS IN DAY AT HARD WORK

BEN LOMOND. April 26.--Jim Jeffries made
up for his vacation Of yesterday by training
with redouhlod energy this morning. He de-
cared that he felt in a working mood ana
allowed himself little letup during the entire
day He worked at all the indoor strength
building devices, with the exception OF box
ing. and It was noticed that he put good
deal of ginger and life into his tasks, as was
the case during the Sunday exhibition.
A six-round boxing bout with Sam Berger
was planned for the afternoon, but Jens
work during the morning was so warming
that his trainers did not want to heat his
blood any more and the bout was postponed
The skin trouble on Jef's back rapidly is
disappearing, and his trainers expect to eradi-
cate it within two days.
Jeffries spent the afternoon hours working
with the laborers the river dam, which
sprang leak Saturday. Until the leak is
stopped boating and swimming are next to
impossible and as these are among the cham
plons favorite pastime he will put In
much of his time helping repair the dam.

ATHLETIC CLUB To
OPEN VENICE ANNEX
Appropriate Ceremonies to Mark
Reopening of the Seaside
Branch Saturday Night

Fans and phantoms of Southern California
will be happy to learn that the Los Angeles
Athletic club is to reopen the Venice anex
next Saturday evening with appropriate cere-
monies. This will be welcome news to those
who have been sweltering in the city during
the last mercurial rise.
The annex, which certainly has proved a
boon in the past, is going to be better than
ever this year, as one can do all the tumbling
and sparring desired with the prospect of a
cool dip in old Father Neptune for an after
math.
1t is Just possible that few sparring af-
fairs will be on the program opening night,
but as yet the management is undecided If
not, one can go down and have few rounds
on the floor with some OF the boys. Saturday
night certainly will be a hummer, as well
as an auspicious occasion. so all members
should pack grips and prepare TO stay over
Sunday at the seaside.

C ACRAMENTO made a much bet
- ter showing against the Angels
~ yesterday than was expected and
it may be that the Senatorial aggrega-
tion has just started to get into playing
form Although they could do moth
ing with Criger in eight innings, they
found him in the ninth, when he be-
gan to weaken, and an error ana a
brace of doubles gave Cap Dillon such
a scare that he gave Criger rest
and sent Briswalter in to finish the
half inning. After two runs were
scored off Criger, Brissy walked onto
the mound and forced the remaining
three batters to go the infield route
to the bench and saved the game. With
Nagle, Thorsen, Tozer, Delhi and Bris-
walter yet to take their turns in fling
ing 'em over, it looks rather bad for
the Senators in this series.
Scrappy Happy Hogan made an aus
picious beginning yesterday when the
Village Cutups opened their road sea-
son with a victory. Hit did the toss
ing for the Cutups and Nelson, the best
pitcher on the Oakland pay roll was
opposed to him. That the SUBURBAN
kids could beat him first dash out or
the box makes it look rather rosy for
them to cop the series. With Vernon
and Los Angeles tied for third place, it
looks like a pretty fight between them,
and Hen Berry and Eddie Maier will
sit awake nights waiting for the result
of the northern games, to see whether
the Angels finally will be able to over
take the baby member of the league.
J. E. Krause, the local manager of
the A. D. r. company, has returned
from a business trip to Frisco. Krause
is a keen sportsman and found time
while in the north to sound public
opinion regarding to Jeffries-Johnson
scrap, being convinced that the north
ern city is nearly as loyal to the big
fellow as is Los Angeles.
Billy Lotus, business man and
sportsman, leaves this week for a two
months vacation in the east, most of
