Trouble at Ensenada.

San Diego, Feb. 4.-Under orders
issued by Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels the armored cruiser San Diego,
with Rear Admiral T. B. Howard
aboard, steamed for Ensenada at mid
night tonight Admiral Howard is
under orders to investigate the con-
troversy regarding the Mexican
steamer Mazatlan, which is being held
al the order of Colonel Esteban Can
tu.
Last Saturday the Mazatlan, which
has been in detention at Ensenada for
the last fifty days, attempted to make
a sensational dash for freedom to San
Diego, but the attempt was foiled
through the presence of 25 Mexican
soldiers aboard. Subsequently. in an
swer to an IS o S" call, the gunboat
Yorktown steamed from this port for
Ensenada at full speed. The Mazat-
Ian has a cargo of lines and hides
valued at $4,000, consigned to Los
Angeles and San Francisco merchants.

STAGE QUESTION
AGAIN DISCUSSED

Once more the much-mooted ques-
tion Of the regulation of automobile
stages is before the trustees, a num-
ber of stage drivers appearing before
the board last night and expressing
dissatisfaction over the enactment of
the proposed ordinance, which will
force them to make their stands on
other than the city streets. A COM
mittee of two has been appointed by
the stage operators, who will Coop
crate with City Attorney Larew in the
framing of another ordinance.
The plan of the board, which was
to remove the stages from the city
streets because of the effect of the
dripping oil and gasoline on the btu
lithic pavement, resulting in a reduc-
tion of the occupation tax, at first
was concurred in by many of the
stage operators, according to Mayor
Swanson, many of them declaring last
night, however, that they would pre-
fer to pay the higher tax rate and
be allowed to stand on the principal
streets of the city.
The revised ordinance will be con-
sidered at meeting in the near fu-
ture.

ern Pacific representative, last night
before the board. Mr.. Runge
based his protest upon the grounds
that the closure of the alleys would
impede progress should the Southern
Pacific be forced to lay spur track
in that vicinity, and, further, that the
closed alleys would prevent the trus-
tees from readily granting a franchise
to the railroad company. The first
reading of the proposed ordinance
was heard at a recent meeting, the
second to take place at the next meet
ing, on February 10, the ordinance to
become effective thirty days from that
date should it be adopted by the
board.

VISITING THE CITY

Lieutenant Governor John M. Esh-

the first time in his life he had set
aside period in which to do abso-
lutely nothing. For thirty days it
has been rainy or damp at Sacra-

sunshine of Imperial Valley to soak
into his system.
He probably will remain here for
most of the month, returning to Sac

MERELY COMMENT
Doc Weiner of Harrison headqUar-
tiers says Sweitzer is no German.
To prove it, Doc calls attention to
the names of Sweitzer's relatives in
the Sweitzer Kindred club.
Here they are: Murphy, Sullivan,
Higgins, Lampkin, Hayes, Reese, Nc
Inerney, Clancy and La Font.
AW, be neutral, Doc. DON'T deger-
mamie poor Bob, even if he does be-
long to the Hibernians.
You don't spose Roger would ring
in a phoney German, do you?
Don't you spose Rog knows a real
German when he runs one?
If Aid. Block puts the iitney bus
over he'll lose that Back-ROOm stuff.
Jitney Block would be popular
and worth some votes in the future.
But getting back to Doc Weiner's
charge-if Sweitzer is an Irishman,
why can't Murphy, Sullivan, Higgins,
McInerney and Clancy be Germans?
For all we know, none of OIson's
ancestors ever saw Sweden. He may
be from Tipperary-a long ways.
BY the way, what do Harrison and
Thompson claim to be.
Judge Olson says if he is elected
mayor he will cut the budget one
third.
But if he isn't elected mayor he will
hang on to that judicial job for four
more years.
One thing he won't cut is the string
to the job he already has.
Judge is fusionist-fused to his
job.
Anyhow, if you didn't register last
fall register today and then vote as
you darned please.
