TetzIaff is DISQUALIFIED

Los Angeles Examiner: After sew
eral days of muck raking the Oldfield-
MOruss fight has at last come to heaf
and in such a fashion that Teddy TetZ-
laff. -unquestionably one of the clean
est and best liked men in the entire
racing world. is the only sufferer.
The following telegram was received
from the contest board of the Ameri-
can Automobile association, which may
seem self explanatory:
For exhibiting al unsanciioned race
meeting held at Van Nuys, San Fer
nando, Thanksgiving day, Teddy Tetz-
laff is automatically disqualified under
rules SO. 1912 contest rules and is not
eligible to take part in proposed meet-
ing at Ascot park on 18th and 8th and
Motordrome t4th and 18th"
The foregOin" telegram was re-
ceived almost 81 hours after MOroS7
had made the boast that unless Tetz
laff raced with Burman at Ascot park
he could not race with Oldfeld the
following week. Tetzlaff believes that

not, the affair was lhinly veiled be

Angeles favorite and champion road
driver of the world was busted by the

in little exhibition at san Fernando

An hundred years are sped, and more,
Since high above your mission door
A padre swung a light
A welcome on the lonely way,
A call to worship or to stay,
A message in the night
A century! Adown your snadowed
halls,
Between your ancient, hallowed walls,
An ages throng has passed.
An era shifting at your gate,
An empire, proud and strong and great,
Encireles you at lastl
But you, serene and changing naught
Of what Franciscan fathers wrought,
Reck not of gain or loss;
And still your friendly mission light
Sends forth its message in the night,
The message of the cross!

COLORADO RIVER DAM
may Be BUILT At ONCE

| WASHINGTON, Dee. 7.-Gen. Frank
c. Prescott OF Los Angeles is in Wash
inSton in the interest of the project
for The storage Of the flood waters of
the Colorado river. Senator Works
has informed him that he believes the
settlement of the difficulties of the
Colorado river is a work of ultimate
necessity aside from any other river or
waterway, and should be submitted t.
congress on its own merits and moi
/ in any amendment to another bill. Rep
resentative William d. Stephens. in
conversation with General Prescott,
I stated that he fully approved gen
/ eral plan to store the waters of the
! Colorado river. Whether the method
| Of obtaining that end should be by
original bills or amendments to the
Newlands bill is matter he has not
| yet decided.
! The international features do not.
/ Major Stephens suggested, present any
necessarily insurmountable difficulties
of legislation. Mr.. Newell chief en-
/ gineer of the reclamation service, also
informed Mr.. Prescott that the stor-
! age CT the Colorado waters must be
arranged for in time.
! 1t is believed by legislators in the
/ California elegation. tnat even if the
five millions per year now desired can
he obtained at this session enough
should he made available to begin al
least one storage dam, that the great
undertaking may be under way at the
earliest moment. General Prescott has
been requested to prepare two sets of
bills for both Mexico and the United
States draughting the desired legisla
ton. and to frame amendments to the
bills now pending. General Prescott
has started for California by way of
New Orleans to confer with the vari
Gus committees of the Los Angeles

canal on higher line wesi Of that
main, and he explained that the pres
cnt demands upon that main tax its
capacity, which is limited by The En-
Gina iIume. Unless provision shall be
made for supplying No. from the
BraWlcy main by means OF a nume
across New river no water can be
spared from the west main for lands
above lis line, even though The water
could be pumped to them.
Notwithstanding The receivers warn
ing, promoters of visionary ditci.
scheme on the west side have induced
people to make locations Of desert
claims by representing that water
supply is assured. Some entrymen
have been told that arrangements have
been made with Mexico for taking wa
ter from Volcano laSe. There isn'
any water in Volcano lake that could
be conducted to the land and in an
other year or two there won't he any
Volcano lake at all. The north emo
OF the lake already is Silted up and
covered with a rank growth of young
willows and weeds.
LOcatOrS ignorant of the geography
Of this region even have been assured
that supply of water can be obtained
from Laguna Salada, which is a fan
tastic absurdity. Laguna Salada is a
saline pool, invaded by tidewater. and
there is divide $50 feet higher thai.
its surface between the pool and In
perial valley. 1t would be no less
absurd to talk of irrigating the land
above from Imperial junction with wa
ter from SaltOn sea.
Another false statement made to To-
Gators has been the assurance thai
John ID. SprcckelS is Interested in the
west side scheme and is backing the
project with his capital. II can be
stated on the authority of his bust
ness manager that Mr.. Spreckels moi
only is not Interested in any land or
waller scheme on the west side, but
mas never 50 much as heard Of it.
There is much good land above the
canal level on the west side. but it is
not reclamable at present by waite,
from the Imperial canal system. There
Is no prospect Of getting water to that
land until the main canal system Of
the valley shall have been remodelcd
from the intake TO Signal mountain.

Physical Value Bill, Passes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Amended
to authorize a complete investigation
into the question of stock and bond
issues the question of stock corpora
tions, the bill of Representative Adam
son empowering the interstate com
merce commission to make a physical
valuation Of the property Of railrOada
and other common carriers was passed
by the house without dissenting vote.
The measure, asked for by the III
terstate commerce commission, would
provide for far reaching inquiry with
I the view OF having railroad rates fixed
on the basis of income on actual in
vestment. II would authorize the en-
plOyment OF engineers and other eX-
perts, with power to summon witnesses
and take testimOney, to make an in
ventory, listing in detail the property
OF every state carrier. The invesiigat
ors would be directed to ascertain The
! financial cost for railway purposes for
each piece OF property, the cost and
value to the present owners, and what
| increase in value is due to improve
ment. All questions relating to exist :
ing bond and stock issues of such car
riers would be inquired into and re-
ported upon.
Representative Mann of Illinois, the
| Republican leader. offered the amend
ment directing the examination into
| the stock and bond issue question. after
a point Of order had been sustained
! against his amendment authorizing the
! interstate commerce cOmmission lc
regulate and restrict the issuance oi
securities by carriers.
! The amendment adopted provides
! that the proposed Investigation by tn
! commissions experts shall 'cover ;,
! far as practicable questions pertaining
to the issuance Of stocks and bonds

| provisions of this act and the power oi
