TO BOULEVARD ALVARAD0
OVER THE MAYORS VETO
Councilman Gregory Insists on
Repassage of Ordinance

Making Alvarado street a boulevard
in spite of the mayors veto Of the
boulevard ordinance was advocated
yesterday by Councilman Gregory, ana
as the matter was sent back to Mr..
Gregory's committee for further con-
sideration something of the kind may
be done. If the ordinance is adopted
by the council over the mayors veto 1t
will be the first time such a thing has
occurred during the present admins
tration.
In his message to the council yes
terday Mayor Alexander declared he
had no objections to a boulevard ordi-
nance that would keep a street car
line off Alvarado, because the contin-
uation of such a line would be down
Hoover. and Hoover is only forty feet
wide south of Sixteenth, but he did
object to keeping heaVv traffic off the
street because 1t would throw the trdf-
fic on other streets
Gregory said the object of the ordi-
nance was not to keep the car line
off Alvarado alone, but also to keep
off heavy traffic and that all the front
age between Seventh and Hoover had
petitioned for the ordinance except
about 300 feet He offered to take
every member of the council an auto
mobile ride over the street to show
the necessity of making it a boulevard,
and his offer was accepted by the
council After the ride the council will
determine whether AIvarado street
should be a boulevard
The bouleVarding of AlvaradO is the
first step towards a boulevard to
Flysian park, according to Gregory.

TO RAISE SIGNS HEIGHT

Because of the opposition of ]. J..
Backus, the council yesterday denied
the petition of a number of prominent
architects to increase the height of
signs ON buildings from twenty to
thirty feet
Mr. Backus declared that he consid-
cred the present height of twenty feet
too liberal because these signs inter
fared with hremen in case of a fire in
the building and that if the fire
reached the standards Of the sign 1t
was likely to fail to the street and
iniure or kill some one. In case the
sign was an electrical one there was
the added danger of live wires, he said.

CH|CAGO HEARING
 OF BATH TUB CASE
It Was Practically Finished Yester-
 day.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The taking of evil dence in Chicago in connection with the governments case enjOining the so-called "Bathtub trust" was prac- tically completed late today. Further hearings will be held in the east.
 During the days hearing, the charge was made that 90 per cent of the jobbers of enameled sanitary ironware in the country had signed the agreements last June to handle only trust goods.
 John w. Sullwold. president of the Western Supply company of St Paul, witness, testified regarding the jobbers He identified several letters he said had been written him by Theodore Ahrens. In one of these it was said that thirty days after the contracts of the alleged combination were made 90 per cent of the jobbers of the country had signed them. The contracts. said Sullwold. enjoined the signers from handling any goods ECt manufactured in plants using the so- called trust license.
 Other witnesses declared the trusts patents were only a subterfuge used in the license agreement for the pur- pose of fixing an alleged arbitrary price and thus violating the antitrust laws.

HITCHCOCK TALKS
 OF POSTAGE PLAN
Hopes To Make Feasible One Cent
 Postage For Letters.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Postmaster General Hitchcok has issued a state ment regarding the plan of requiring magazines to pay increased postage on advertising pages. the measure through which, it is hoped, one cent postage on first class mail may be warranted in the near future.
 It says in part: Mir. Hitchcok believes that in carrying out the ad- ministration's purpose to accomplish a reasonable increase in the postage rates on certain kinds of second class matter, more distinction should be made between advertising and what is termed legitimate reading matter. He does not favor, under the present conditions an increase in the rates of postage for carrying reading matter.
 Experiments made by the depart ment show, however, that it is quite feasible to determine the relative weights of the advertising matter and the legitimate reading matter carried by the magazines and Hitchcock is convinced that his plan can be put into successful operation"

There will be no ball game in Phoenix tomorrow. After having agreed to Acting Manager Rudolph's offer to bring the All Stars here from Tucson, Manager Sullinger yesterday wired that he had acted unadvisedly in closing for the game, as he would be unable to muster anything like his complete team for Sunday, and that he must therefore call the contest off
 This will be the cause of much re- gret among the local baseball fans, who have been anticipating a roUsing game tomorrow. When it was an- nOunced that two of the pitchers of Tebbens Tigers were unable to ap- pear, one because of illness and the other because of having been called away from town, Rudolph decided to do what he could to put on a good game with some other team. He inn mediately got busy with the wires and closed with Manager Sullinger for game with the nine from Tue son.
 But the message yesterday from SulIinger effectually put a damper on the ardor of the Jewels to give PhOe- nicians an exhibition of good ball on Sunday So there is nothing to do now but to wait until the Tigers are in shape for a game, and then the five game series will be started It is considered doubtful if the diamond at Eastlake park would have been in condition to permit a game. anyway, even if there had been teams avail able

 In the meantime, eight or ten new witnesses, all living in and about Los Angeles, will be subpoenaed, in dicating that the work of the investi- gation will not be completed within less than two weeks.
 Four papers here agreed. at the request of Presiding Bordwell not to print another word concerning the deliberations of the grand jury. The agreement was made at conference of the managing editors, at which Judge Bordwel presented the view of the inquisitors that their work not only would be hampered by the publication of even such scraps of information as is obtainable, but that such publication would be to inter fere with the task of procuring un- biased juries in the criminal trials which may result from the grand jury investigation Judge Bordwells request did not include the Associat ed Press.
