WORK RUSHE D ON
FAIR STRUCTURES
Machinery Palace Is Nearly
Complete; Great Progress
in Other Buildings

In his report submitted to President
c. c. Moore of the Panama Pacific in
ternational exposition, Director of
Works Harris d. H. Connick outlines
in detail the construction work that
has been accomplished on the fair
grounds. His report in part reads:
There is every probability that the
carpenter work on the palace of ma
chinery will be completed within four
weeks. Up to date 100000 board feet
of lumber have been installed.
During the last month about 400.-
900 feet of the superstructure was
erected on the palace of education.
The wall and roof framing is under
way. Concrete work has been carried
to the roof line and is about nine
tenths completed.
About 80 per cent of all the lstruc-
ture material of the food products
palace has been framed and most of
the steel essential for assembling is
on the grounds.
"All lumber for the agricultural
palace has been delivered and about
SIS per cent of all the framing has
been completed.
About 100000 feet of lumber has
been placed to date in the floor Of the
varied industries building.
sIn the construction of the mines
building 1.150,000 board feet of lum-
ber have been installed and the franz
ing of the columns and trusses has
started.
The preparing of beds for lawns
in the south gardens is practically
completed. The lawn in the railway
terminal yard is nearly ready for its
first cutting.

The Giants began playing catch.
The Athletics lined up to bat, and

agitated ants. A minute later Eddie
Collins hammered the ball against the

extent. They could not keep their
minds on their work.
Happily their lives were saved by
the arrival of a large automobile for
Jake Daubert of the Dodgers, the
same being presented to him as the
most valuable player to his club in
the National league. There was nat
urally quite some ceremony attached
to this proceedings, after which the
Giants went to batting practice. They
did not slap any balls into the bleach

WIFE
SUES FOR
DIVORCE
Secret Action Against Rich
Lumberman Recalls Sensa-
tionaI Chris Buckley Fight

Coming as climax to the series of
his sensational troubles which at
tracted national attention. a secret
suit for divorce was filed this morning
against cambridge Hunt Bibb, former
state senator and wealthy lumberman,
by his wife, Clara Bibb. The real
story of the cause for their separa-
tion after 80 years of married life will
not be made a public record.
The complaint on secret file is made
more secure from publicity by con-
tanning simple charge of desertion,
with no demand for alimony Mrs.
Bibb charged that her husband de-
serted her June /, 1911. This was
but month after the conclusion Of
the long fight between the lumber
man and Chris Buckley, the old blind
former political boss of San Fran
cisco.
Buckley charged Bibb with defraud-
ing him by selling a piece of prop
erty which Bibb had previously sold
to another party. Buckley caused
Bibb's indictment and the case
dragged out over a year and a half,
being carried to Washington.
While the case was on, Bibb's son,
cambridge Bibb. Jr., was convicted of
forgery and sent to San Quentin.

Superintendent Ahern

Through Superintendent T. Ahern OF
the western division the Southern Pa
scific company has informed the super
visors that it can not accept the fran
clhise for It's Third and Townsend
streets terminals in the form insisted
upon by the city.
Ahern told the supervisors that the
conditions are onerous and unreason-
able and that the company will. i
necessary, worry along with the pres-
ent archaic depot and inadequate
trackage rather than accept the city's
terms.
I'VE don't have to build q new sta
tion to make money said Ahern.
We don't class railway station AZ
facility that brings the company in
creased revenue. It simply adds to
tho convenience OF the public
Among the protested conditions Is
that providing for use OF the Southern
Pacific tracks by the municipal rail-
way cars and free switching priyi-
leges. The company is willing to

At that hour thousands upon thou
sands of men and women were still
pouring through the various gates of
the Polo grounds, and the officials
declared there was no doubt that all
previous records for attendance would
be broken despite the dark clouds
which hung low over Coogans bluff.
The throng had been gathering
ever since the gates had been thrown
open at $40 a. M, and the first enthu-
siasm was shown on this chill, raw
day came when the players made
their appearance. Only few minutes
before the ground keepers had taken
the tarpaulin off the diamond, and a
lot of newspaper photographers had
trotted on to the field, two infallible
signs of a championship baseball
game.
The first big noise of the series
broke when the little door in the wall
back Of right field opened and figure
in the soiled drab uniform of the
Athletics appeared. A wild howl went
up to the dark sky as another and
another followed and the great Phila-
deiphia club marched on to the field,
with stuffy McInnis staggering in
front and big Chief, Bender am

MAY HAVE HOT TINE
OVER THE FISHING BILL

Signs indicate that a fishing war
will break over this legislature among
the various factions on the Columbia
river, and there are reports that at
tempts will be made to fight out some
private grudges through the legisla-
ture.
The Carpenter bill, which has been
introduced in the house, would elm
inte seining on the upper Columbia,
or that portion Of the river east of the
Cascade locks. At the same time It is
understood that lower river men will
come into the Legislature with a bill to
extend the time Of the closed season.
The closed season now is from March
1, until May /. The bill probably will
ask that 1t be reduced 80 as to extend
from March to April Is. The fish
ermen are not at all a unit on this,
however, as some desire to see the
month Of March eliminated from the
closed season, and there are others
who wish to see the month of April
eliminated.
In event the closed season is
changed and Washington passes no
concurrent law, then it is stated, the
