In a few years advertising
signs will not be found inside
major league park fences. Not
SO many years ago these signs
were a feature to which club
owners catered, to increase their
income.
The coming of half-million dol
lar parks, however, spelled the
death of the advertising signs.
For a time 1t was customary
for advertisers to offer rewards
for hitting their signs with a
batted ball. Some of the rewards
were humorous. / remember one

ATTELL IS BAD
LOSER; CRIES
ROBBERY

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-
Promoter James w. Coffroth to-
day is in receipt of a telegram
from James j. Jeffries at Los An
geles. In which the former heavy
weight champion asked Coffroth
not to call off the match between
Abe Attell and Harlem Tommy"
Murphy, scheduled for San Fran
cisco March 8. Jeffries evidently
sympathizing with ex-champions,
is strong for Abeis and says the
worst Attell should have been
handed was a draw.
Attell sent Coffroth a similar
message saying he had been rob-
bed by Referee Eyton.
Coffroth says the match would
have been held even without the
dmpassioned appeals of the two ca
champions.

WATER IS SHY
IN RESERVOIRS
To the Citizens of Carson !:

TO the Citizens of Carson:
On last Sunday and the pre-
ceding Sunday, the Carson Water
Company, during this season,
having apparently been diligent
in it's efforts to provide sufficient
water, and yet being otherwise
unable, on account of drouth, to
keep in it's reservoir a supply ade-
quate for fire purposes, on request
it has been permitted to use a por-
ton of the water to which the
city is entitled on every seventh
day.
The drouth has now increased to
such an extent that this permis-
sion must be withheld on the
coming Sunday, and perhaps
later also, in order hat the health
of the city may be protected by
properly flushing the sewers.
Health is more important than
property.
However, the greatest possible
security from fire can easily be
obtained simply by the voluntary
stopping of the use of water on
Sunday. except for domestic pur-
poses.
Therefore, approaching the
spirit in which former sugges-
tons have been received and ear
ried into effect for the good OF
u city. ] recommend that no
water from the Water Company's
pipes be used for irrigation. or
for sp%rinkling, from Saturday ev-
ing at 7 o'clock. until Monday
morning at 6 o'clock.

LITTLE PHYLLIS CLARKE PASS

Last evening little Phyllis, the
bright winsome daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Clarke passed quietly away,
after a lingering illness. The baby
had been i'll for some weeks with
whooping cough which later turned
to pneumonia and proved fatal.
Had Phyllis lived till September
she would have been 2 years old. She
was in many respects a remarkable
child, having said a number of words
plainly when she was only Z months
old, and having been proportionately
clever during the rest of her little
life since.
Phyllis was much younger than the
rest of the family, and her parents
had looked forward to the time when
she would have been the joy and pride
of their declining years, but it was
not to be.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row Sunday afternoon at 2:15 from
the residence on West Third avenue,
and at $3.50 from st. COLUMBIA 3

NEW YORK, May 5.-The weather
man provides warm sun and a cloud
less sky today for the biggest WON
ans suffrage demonstration in the
history of New York city. For nearly
a year preparations for the great pa
rade had been under way. There was
little for Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blat-
ich and her assistants to do except to
marshal the various divisions of their
forces for the big parade at 5 O'Clock
and the mass meeting in Carnegie hall
at o'clock. The $4,000 women and,
men, too, who had asked for places in
the parade received the last word of
exhortation from Mrs. Blatich during
the morning. Remember" she said
through printed card with which
each parader was provided, "You
march for the mightiest reform the
world has ever seen. The orderly
appearance of our procession depends
upon each individual marcher. Re
member, the public will judge, quite
illoRically, of course, but not the less
strictly, your qualifications as voter
by your promptness." The men
marchers, a host which Mrs. Blatich
thought might reach 5000 in number,
were disappointed today to learn that
Colonel Roosevelt had declined an in
vitation to lead their division. Tie
program provided for eleven divisions.
