VETS, BACK TO WALL, FIGHT TO
 STAY IN RACE
Legionnaires and Moose Meet Tonight in Most
 Critical Game, Year

Last nights City League game was "croocial." But tonights is "croocialer." The Veterans, de- throned last night from the lead ership by the Elks, have their backs against the wall and the Moose, elevated to the throne through idleness yesterday, will undertake to flatten out the eX-soldiers.
 The Legion must win tonight in order to have a chance for the first half. If the Moose win the game they also cop the first half bunting.
 The standing today gave the Moose six victories and five losses, Vets five of each, and the Elks five wins and six losses. The Vets, winning tonight, would resume the lead with six and five while the Moose would close the half with six each The final game would then be needed to decide the cham pionship which the Vets could win by trimming the Elks, or if the latter should win, each club would be tied with six wins and the same number of losses.
 Bob Keaton, Vet star, who has had a weeks rest, will be back on the firing line for the Legionnaires this evening. Manager Goddard probably will start with Blake as usual catching, Haines first, T. Kea- ton second, Garn shortstop, Grum- melt third, B. Schmitz left, -Mathi- son or Brodie center, and Worth rightfield.
 Claud Erskine, first string Moose hurler who strained a ligament in his right fore arm several weeks ago, is said to be back in form, and he will be started against the Vets. Big Mac will be his mate and Little Mac first, F. Schmitz second, Twigg shortstop, Livings- ton third, Nello, J. Schmitz and Ramsay in the outfield.
 A record crowd is expected to turn out for the game which starts at 6:30 pm. Last nights attendance was one of the biggest weekday crowds of the season.

 ''Los Angeles, as the passing generation has already established, has made wilder predictions, thrown more bluffs, fulfilled more extrava- gant prophecies than any other city of the United States, and she has not yet recorded single fail ure.

San Francisco and Los Angeles usually on the opposite side of any sporting argument that happens to bob up along the big slope, have united in the common Olympic cause.
 More power to Une1n, say we, even though it is admitted some of the stimulation comes as the outgrowth of an article, sponsored '1y Alan Gould. (and which) mas for it's basis an interview with Avery Brundage of Chicago" presi- dent of the American Olympic con- mittee.
 MT. Brundage, through this ex- elusive, article, sounded a very plain warning as to the condition of the Olympic financial resources, emphasizing that the American Olympic committee will not spend money it doesn't collect, "even if it means we cannot raise enough money to send more than half a dozen athletes to Los Angeles" To this pessimism, the Olym- plan, house organ of San Francisco objects and accuses MT. Brundage of "hollerin' before you're hit" It neglects to recognize, however, that number of blows already have been struck, financially speaking, and that the Chicago business man simply rose up. quite properly to face the facts before it is too late.
 He seems to have accomplished his purpose, for, having taken this fling, the Olympian rallies to the cause.

RALLYING CRY

"Californians will not, must not, permit this failure" says the Olym- plans editorial. Tn several great emergencies she has brought gold into almost empty coffers at the eleventh hour. When has there ever been a drive for the Com .munity Chest, when pessimism has not foretold failure, only to find it filled sometimes during the very last days of a determined drive?
 Distance and the great cost Of transportation may in some degree lessen the volume of attendance and reduce the number of con- testants, but neither deterring pow CT can make the tenth Olympiad at Los Angeles the comically puny show of half dozen athletes as ;expressed in the back-down speech of President Brundage.

will be hung over the doorway OF
the cafeteria in the Government
Printing Office Building.
Capitol Cafes Cited
Such a sign, it was learned
today, is going up lin the G.. P. o.
whenever and if the Senate and
House restaurants quit selling
meals to tourists.
This was indicated when the
Shannon subcommittee questioned
j. Thomas Ford, chief of the ac-
counting division of the Govern
ment Printing Office and head
of the G. P. o. Cafeteria and
Recreation Association, concern
ing complaints of cafe owners
that the Government printery
was taking business from private
purVeyors of flood.
Run by Employees
Ford, representing George H.
Carter, Public Printer, asserted:
1--WE have a large cafeteria
in the Government Printing
Office. 1t has 68 employees
and SO cannot be accused of
contributing to unemployment.
We do not solicit cafeteria bust
ness from the outside. Our or
ganiZatiOn is not prOfit-making.
1t is run by employees, not by
the Government.

goes toward the purchase of

Representative Rich (R) of

RATECUT
RESTRAINED
BY COURT
P. U. C. Must Answer Conn.,
pany Charge Of 'ContiScatorY
Orders; Hearing Set

A temporary injunction re-
straining the Public Utilities
Commission from putting in ef-
feet its two recent orders
against the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Company was
granted today by Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat in District
Supreme Court.
One of the commissions orders
called for flat 10 per cert
reduction on all phone bills and
the other directed the company
to credit its depreciation reserve
fund with interest of per cent
a year.
Case Set for Thursday
The court granted the com.
mission until next Thursday to
show cause why the restraining
order should not stand.
The companys bill stated that
the rates now charged are Just
and reasonable, that both orders
of the commission are confiscatory
and void, and that the deprecia.
ton order, if complied with,
would lay the company open to
prosecution for violation of rules
of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission.
Notice Held Inadequate
Charging that the commission
failed to comply with the law in
issuing the 10 per cent reduction
order, the company stated that
the recent hearing was a valua.
ton proceeding of which the
company was not given adequate
notice.
The company claimed it's valu-
alton for 1882 was not less than
$37,000,000 and estimated it's re-
turn for the year will not be more
than So per cent This valuation,
the company recited, included an
item of $4,O00,OOO for going con-
Germ value" and stated that no
finding of the item was made in
the commissions order.
A return of per cent fixed by
the commissions order, the COM
pany contended, is unfair and
urges that its rate of return
should not be less than per cent.
Jurisdiction Denied
Regarding the depreciation re-
serve fund order, the company in
formed the court that jurisdiction
in such rates and accounting is
vested in the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The P. U. c., according to the
company, has no jurisdiction IN
ordering a change in such &C
counts and in the event the COM
pany complied with the P. U. c.
order, it would be placed in the
position of violating orders of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and incurring danger of penal
ties under the Interstate Com
merce act"
The company further charged
error to the commission in order
ing the company to credit inter
eSts on the amount of its depre-
citation reserve when the commits
sion had already deducted the
amount of depreciation reserve
from the company's value.

GAS TAX GAINS
100000 HERE

Despite the economic slump, the
Districts gasoline tax for. the
first seven months of the last
two years has increased at
100000 rate, according to fig
ures compiled today by Deputy
Tax Assessor Charles A. Russell.
Consumption of gasoline has in
creased approximately 100000
gallons over the same period.
The tax for the first seven
months of this year amounted to
$1,187, ,575 As, while the conSump-
ton totaled 59,383,772 gallons.
This is an increase of $134,412.26
in tax and 6,520,617 gallons over
the January to July period of
1881, and an increase of $271,-
1859 in tax and 13,564,777 gal
Ions over the same months of
1890.
The peak month in the years
1880 and 1881 was July, but this
year the peak was reached in
May. The July consumption of
1880 was 8,244,264 gallons and
in 1881 was 8,58O,851. The May
consumption of this year was
9,492,580 gallons. Mr.. Russell
expressed the opinion that the
economic legislation adopted by
the Government taking away the
annual leave of Federal Workers
was the cause of the July slump
this year. At that the July con-
sumption was greater than the
peak months of the previous two
years, being 9,177.699 gallons.
