Williams To Investigate
ViaduCt Citizens Are
Pleased By Early Action

y few days ago some of our citizens
to Francis Williams, the
newly elected Public Service Commits
sioner, that our Newton Street via
duct was impossible due TO decap and
that controversy existed between
the city, the Southern Pacific Rail-
road and the Algiers Railway. He
became very much interested in the
matter and offered his services to
bring about the re-establishment of
this important thoroughfare. The
Newton Street viaduct is now a
dangerous bridge, closed to traffic by
city authorities. The viaduct orig
inally cost about 100000 and when
the Algiers Railway bought their
| franchise, it was a part OF this fran
viaduct, which they failed to do. 1t
is now a question as TO whom Is at
fault in the matter, whether the city
should have seen to it that the Rail-
way Company repaired the viaduct or
for the Southern Pacific Company to
have seen to it that the viaduct was
kept up as the Southern Pacific Com
pany is the only benefactor from this
viaduct.
Commissioner Williams made a
special trip to Algiers to inspect the
!, dilapidated bridge and told the Al
giers people that he would max,
i special efforts to get a hearing a
once so that we would immediatel!
get the relief to which we were en-
e titled.
e The Algiers people will be grateful.
e obliged to Francis Williams for hi
e early attention to this matter.

SHOTS BRIGHTEN CITIZENS.

A party believed to comprise rail-
road workmen began firing shots up
in the air in Algiers Saturday night,
and sent pedestrians flying for shell
ter, though the shooting was only
pure "skylarking," according to a
police report.
Detective Louis Kuepferle and Pa
trolman Gallicio, standing near Pa
cific avenue and Socrates street, heard
the shots and rushed to the scene,
close by. They arrested Victor Hills.
laborer for the Texas and Pacific
railroad of 1880 Brooklyn avenue, and
charged him with disturbing the peace
and carrying concealed weapons.

BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT.

Anyone wishing to vote In the
November election should remember
that in addition to having their two
poll tax receipts, they should also
have their new registration papers.
Several voters were debarred from
voting in the last primary as their
registration papers were from last
year and not the new ones that should
have been gotten this year. So look at
your papers and be sure You are
right.

ASKS FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

Fire Commissioner Harry Fitzpat-
rick presented the council with a pc
ton signed by Algiers citizens ask
ing some fire protection for that part
of the city isolated by the closing OF
the viaduct. No vehicles are per-
mitted to use the viaduct. According
to Commissioner Fitzpatrick, the fire
department would have to detour
twenty blocks in the event OF fire
on the opposite side Of the struc-
ture.
Public Property Commissioner Black
suggested that an engine be housed
on the opposite side Of the structure
temporarily, but no action was taken
on the suggestion. Action will be
taken after Safety Commissioner Ray
makes an investigation.

Nv GATES EDITORIAL And THE REPLY
CONN ALGIERS new REGULARS
Below is the editorial to which ex-
ception has been taken.
NOT FAIR PLAY.

If the world admires anybody more
than a game loser it is gallant
winner.
At Appomatox, where the star of
the Confederacy disappeared, forever,
the world applauded two great mil
itary men-Lee, who had led the |
armies of the South, through four |
long years of war, against over
whelming odds and knew how to
accept defeat, and Grant, who refused
the sword of the Southern chieftain
and sent his officers and men back
to their devastated lands with their
horses and their side-arms, the former
to aid them in the recultivation of
their soil, the latter to protect their
families and themselves from per-
sonal danger.
We had a sorry contrast here the
other evening in the almost indecent
celebration staged in Algiers, the
home of former Mayor Behrman, in
which the leader of the New Regu-
lars and some of his successful can
didates participated.
So far as The States is concerned,
no one will accuse it Of being an
apologist for Mr.. Behrman. 1t helped
to defeat him in the last city cam
paign and it was a large factor in
rallying the voters against his can
didates in the two public service
commissioner campaigns.
But we cannot believe that the
great bulk of those who were on the
winning side have anything but re-
greet for the Algiers incident.
If the celebration had been staged
at some central point in the city where
could have been no real objection. Or
if some of Mr.. Behrmans political
enemies in his home ward had
got up the blowout it might have
been dismissed as a mere case of
local bad taste.
But for Col Sullivan and the sue
cessful New Regulars winners to go
| to the ex-Mayor's home to glory in
his humiliation was in our judgment
close to the border-line of indecency;
and we rather believe they themselves
| now think so.
When Dempsey crushed Carpenter

hurt themselves in public estimation

Big Fun Sunday Afternoon

Quite a number Of Algiers boys and
girls have expressed great interest In
the coming indoor festival to be given
by the Druids at the Palm Garden
Sunday afternoon beginning at p.
m.
Judging from the number Of boys |
and girls who have made inquiries
regarding the various contests and
games The Druids Jack O'Lantern
should be an event that will be long
remembered. The youngsters have
selected the games which they intend
competing in and can scarcely wait
for the opening of the doors Sunday.
The pie eating contest seems to
hold the popular favor for 1t Is one
contest that the majority is anxious
to enter. Oh yes, some girls want
to show how fast they can eat pie
too. They say that because they are
girls will make no difference for
| when it comes to eating pies they
are right at home.
Then there will be apple ducking.
There is no need for an explanation
of this but it might be said that the
lucky boy who gets the right apple
will also get a nice prize as re-
ward.
i And to create more fun there will
be sack races. Ever try to run In
sack? No? Then come out and see
the fun.
Next will come the shoe race. When
it comes to being funny this is the
funniest of the funny. The kids take
their shoes off and place them In
pile They then are all mixed up.
The kids 60 off and are started. Then
comes a general scramble for shoes.
The winner is the one who finishes
with his or her shoes on properly
laced.
Then to give the spectators a
, breathing spell a donkey party VIII
be staged.
AS the Jack OLantern Is to be

fering a prize to the boy or girl who

where throughout the land There
is lack of cooperative spirit. There

cultivated a community spirit which
will bring to all some degree of pro-
gress. In the struggle for gain we
should not lose sight of the greater
good, the greater possibilities that
might result through cooperation in
matters of public nature and COM
munity welfare. We may each of us
apply our sincerest efforts to the
