ATHLETICS LOOK GOOD
TO WIN REMNANT.
Have Nice Lead, With Season Half
Gone-HighIanders Coming Strong.

With a lead of half a dozen games
over the next nearest team, the Ath-
Ieties seem to have exceedingly good
prospects for winning another Amer
lean league pennant In fact, moth
ing but the toughest sort of luck or a
lay-doWn can, 90 " seems, keep the
team down. and the enthusiasts are
already figuring on another triumph.

The Athletics will come back If they

rival. probably the New York High

through the homestretch. The Show
ing of the New York team this year is
a source of great rejoicing in Ameri-
can league circles. for this is the first
time that the Higilanders have maze
good. Notwithstanding the fact that
repeated efforts have been made to
give them a winner The Detroit team
is not as good as it was last year,
while the Athletics are better than
ever. The Bostons are good, but not
quite the equal of Connie Mack's
bunch. and there is nothing in the
second division that compares with
the leaders.
If the Athletics do win the pennant
the team that beats them for the
worlds title win have to do some
slipping.

BATTLING NELSON WILLING.
Will Fight Redmond in the Fall, Al
though Bout Not CInched.

Teddy Murphy. manager Of Jack
Redmond, the Milwaukee lightweight.
has been in Chicago to confer with
Battling Nelson, the former lightweight
champion. in regard to match in the
fall Neson stated that he would do
no fighting until December at the ear
Hest and that when he thought that he
was in condition - DO himself justios
again he would take Redmond on first
of all in a long bout in the west.
Nelson has decided that before he
will try for the title again that VOL
CAST took away from him tina the would
get back into the best condition pos
sibIe. In addition to this, he will not
take on the Wildcat right away but
but viii take on some of the lesser
lights first. so that when he faces the
champion he will be in rhe finest shape
it is possible for a fighter to get in.
After making this statement he as
sured Murphy that he would take on
Redmond in December before the club
offering the best Inducements. Nelson
says that after witnessing the Jeffries-
Johnson fight than he saw Jeffries'
mistake and that he does not intend
to follow in his footsteps, but that he
will train hard for about three months
on his ranch al O-Bar and then, after
trying himself out, he will be ready to
face the champion for another fly at
the lightweight crown. Nelson, ae-
companied by Abdul the Turk, will
leave for Yellowstone park in a few
days. ana after spending some time
there he will leave for his ranch in
New Mexico where with the Turk as
training partner liz viii prepare him
self for number Of battles this win
ter.
Nelson stated that he felt sure that
he could come back. as lie does not
think that he had gone back when he
met Wolsast. but that lie merely neg
Iected his troining to some extent.
The match with Redmond Will be at
least a twenty round affair. as Jack is
one of those strong boys and improves
as the distance grows longer. The
battle will more than likely take place
in the west.

TAX COLLECTOR ASKS
FOR LARGER QUARTERS
0verCrowding of Office Causes a
Delay in Public Business

The department of tax and license
collection has outgrown every avail
able nook and corner in the city haH
and C. M. Taggart, tax collector, wants
to know what he is to do about it.
The various annexations have great
ly increased the number of tax rolls
until there are now 81, an increase of
3S-1-3 per cent over last year. He has
pre-empted every little room he could
get and taken part of the corridors.
In his cramped space he manages to
get along after a fashion, although he
says taxpayers are complaining loudly
about the inconvenience of running
from one place to another.
But that is not the worst of it, On
the first Monday in March Assessor
Mallard will take possession of room
4, which rightfully belongs to him, and
then seventeen tax rolls will be kicked
out to look for another resting place.
Where shall this be? Mr.. Taggart asks
the council. He says that he could
save the city $500 a month in salaries
paid to deputies if they could all be
assembled in one place where they
could help each other.

COURT AWARDS VICTIM
OF FAST AUTOMOBILE $s6
Justice Says Ida LindIay Merely
Chose Between Men

'The plaintiff in a damage suit, es-
pecially where an automobile is the
aggressive party, is generally af-
ficted with litigated pain" said Jus
tice Pierce, sitting for Justice Stephens
yesterday in judgment on a damage
suit instituted by r. l.. Canton against
Ida r. Lindlay, whom he charged with
having run over him with an automo-
bile.
THAT this young woman had the
choice of knocking down either one of
two men as she turned a corner sharp
ly and that she chose the plaintiff for
the victim was undoubtedly unfor-
tunate and painful to him. We will
soothe his injured feelings and bruises
with $780,"
Miss Lindlay was driving a heavy
touring car and turned a corner alb
ruptly. Two men were standing few
feet apart. The car was travelling at
too rapid a rate to stop before she
reached the men and she had the
choice of either striking one or the
other or bowling over both. She chose
Canton, and he claims to have doc
tored his bruises eighteen days before
he could return to his work

Municipal Affairs
FIVE YEARS SERVICE MAY
BE PRICE OF CHEvR0NS
Applicants for SergeantS on Po-
lice Force May Face Rule

Restrict the service limit of appli-
cants for sergeants to those patrolmen
who have been on the force five years,
is the request the police commission
will make of the civil service depart
ment
If the civil service commission adopts
this idea before it calls the next ex-
animation for sergeants there is likely
to be some angry buzzing around the
police stations.
An examination for sergeants was
recently held and as the present re-
striction is service of two years on
the police force about half the force
took the examination. On the list of
eligibles resulting from this examina-
tion there are about fifty who have
not had five years experience in the
department. But because of technical
flaws in the examination the civil
service commission found it necessary
to withdraw the eligible list and order
an entirely new examination.
If the new examination is held under
the five-year restriction, and the police
commission is anxious that it shall
be, those fifty men who passed the
examination and who would be as
likely to pass another of the same
kind will not be eligible to take it.
Two sergeants have already been ap-
pointed from this ineligible list of elig-
ibles. They are Wherle and Curtain,
and they have not had the five years
experience. Although they are holding
the positions of Sorgeants, they would
be unable to take the examinations If
the five-year rule is adopted.

News of the Courts
GETS SOL, ,45G JUDGMENT
AGAINST MINE COMPANY
Gail Borden RegainS Portion of
Money He Advanced to
Tin Concern

Gail Borden, a wealthy manufac-
turer of matted milk, who was presi-
dent of the Santa Ana Tin Mining
company, to which institution he ad-
vanced $9S,219 without security, ac-
cording to his allegations, yesterday
was given judgment for SOL, ,456.92
against the concern by Judge Hervey
of the superior court.
Borden in his complaint declared that
between December Is, 1903, and De-
cember 4, 1909, he advanced to the COM
pany at which he was the head for the
purpose of developing the property in
Orange county Ito upkeep and care for
it" and to conduct experiments in met
allurgy upon the ore found in it the
sum Of $9S,219.
Although he asserted that he had no
security for the money advanced he
showed to the jurist's satisfaction that
he had advanced the coin, offering in
evidence a paragraph from minutes of
a meeting when resolution taking
cognizance of his action was adopted
by the directors.
Only for the fact that the statute of
limitations barred complete collection,
judgment for the entire amount could
have been obtained.

PACKERS ARE
MAKING LITTLE PROFIT
Asserts High Price of Livestock
Is Unsatisfactory to the
Meat Dealers

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-The report of
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Meat Packers association,
which met in annual convention. here
today, intimates that the select COM
mittee of the United States senate,
when it met to investigate the high
cost of living, did not act in the best
faith in examining the packers.
The report says that while there
have been some repetitions of the
usual slurs and unfounded charges
against the packers, they have lacked
the venom of previous years, and the
opinion is expressed that "a belief Is
growing with the public that the pack
ers as a class are doing a legitimate
business"
President Charles Robe of the asso-
citation in his address said that the
last year in many respects had been
unsatisfactory to the packers, owing
to the high price of livestock.
"It is undoubtedly a fact" he de-
clared, that packers and meat dealers
have been doing business without
profit during the year."

PETITION FOR LETTERS IN
CHESTER SILENT ESTATE
Death of Stanford Student Re-
called by Probate Action

The tragic death of Chester Silent,
son of Judge Charles and Mrs. Mary
Silent of this city, by drowning at the
Leland Stanford jr. university Septem-
Der 20, 1907, was recalled yesterday by
the filing in the probate department
of the superior court petition for let
ters of administration in his estate.
Silent was student at the univer-
sity and went duck hunting. When he
did not return it was supposed he had
gone to visit friends in some neigh
boring city. Thus the situation re-
mained for few days, and when no
body could obtain a trace of him it
was thought possible that he had be-
come suddenly unbalanced mentally
and was wandering about the country.
Reports of seeing young men In vari-
Gus sections of California were sent
out from many places and searching
parties were organized by the score.
One party was seeking the student
near Sawtelle, where young man
answering his description had been
reported, when the news reached his
relatives here that he had been
drowned.
In the petition for letters of admin
istration, which were filed by Frank j.
Thomas upon the request of the young
mans parents, the value of the estate
is given at $757.50 1t represents oil
and bank stock, small uncollected divi-
dends and realty.

Ending June 80, 1910
SO MILES OF TUNNEL LINED
Interruption Last Summer vii
Not Delay Owens River Work
Beyond the Estimate
SO MILES OF TUNNEL LINED

In spite of the suspension of work on
the aqueduct a few months ago that
disorganized the forces. much work
was accomplished during the last fis-
cal year, according to the fifth annual
report of the aqueduct department.
This report shows that the total eX-
cavation for the year ending June 30,
1910, was $3.50 miles and the total
lining 50.04 miles. With the years
work added to what has previously
been accomplished 101.S8 miles OF eX-
cayating have been done and $3.50 miles
of lining accomplished.
In his preface to the report William
Mulholland, chief engineer, declares
that until the time the work was in
terrupted in June the program set out
realized and in some places surpassed.
This was in spite of the fact that last
winter was a severe one on the desert,
there being unprecedented periods OF
extremity cold weather.
The temporary lack of funds and
the consequent partial suspension OF
the work was keenly felt because the
most efficient men Of the organization
that had been so carefully built up,
left to find other employment. Had the
rate of progress made in March, April
and May been kept up there would
have been no doubt of the completion
of the aqueduct by the spring of 1912,
says Mr.. Mulholland, but he is dubious
about making such rapid progress now,
although he says this will depend
largely on the "promptness with which
the recent calamity of the disorgani-
cation or our forces may be amended"
But as all the difficulty work on the
aqueduct is completed he says there
is no doubt that it will be finished with

LAUNDRY OWNERS ASK
FIRE LIMITS EXTENDED
Petition Council to Create New
Industrial District

Owners of seven laundries yesterday
petitioned the city council to pass some
sort of ordinance that will give them
the right to operate legally. They are
now without legal standing because
they are all outside the industrial dis
tricts or the fire limits.
These laundries are the Puritas, on
Crocker, between Eleventh and
Twelfth; Magnet, directly across from
the Puritas; Troy, on Main and Four
teenth; Sterling, on Clanton, between
San Pedro and Griffith; Quality, on
Paloma avenue, between Fifteenth and
SIXTEENTH; Carlson Hand laundry, on
Third, between Flower and Hope, and
Home, on Temple, between Victor and
Boylston.
The present ordinance prohibits the
maintenance of a laundry outside the
industrial districts or the fire limits
The laundries want the council to
either make the lots on which they are
situated industrial districts or extend
the fire limits

SUBMIT LAW AFFECTING
PUBLIC VEHICLE RATES
Different Rates for Taxicabs and
AutocabS Fixed

An ordinance distinguishing between
faxicabs and autocabs and fixing diff
ferent rates for each, was presented to
the legislation committee yesterday by
the taxicab owners as the compromise
they had reached.
The committee does not consider it
much of a compromise, as the ordi-
nance will permit the taxicab men to
charge the same rates they now charge
by simply calling themselves auto
cabs.
The difference between a taxioab
and an autocab, as described in the or
dince, is that a taXicab carries q taxi
meter and an autocab does not. The
maximum rates for a taxicab are fixed
at so cents for the first half mile for
one or two persons and 10 cents for
each additional quarter mile. The
maximum rates for an autocab are 81
for the first twenty minutes and 81 for
each succeeding twenty minutes.
The legislation committee is not quite
satisfied and will hold another hearing
on the matter next Monday afternoon.
