The only point that is being made agalnst Mr. Haas is that he is a young man. This his’ frie admit, but they refer to the gentleman’s record as an attorney, and it certainly goes to establish the fact that he is fully qualified to fill the important position as the city’s legal adviser. The present Superintendent of Streets, John 1. Drain, has been renominated This position M s filled for two vears and he is rst man to occup It who has not had his administration b stained a defalcation. The position is a difficult one to fill and its duties re- quire a man_of extraordinary mental ment.

Ward. For seventcen years this gen- tleman has been engaged in securing Eastern capital for investment in South- ern California.

This gentleman has a rec- ord as a consulting engineer second to no one in Southern California. He has been engaged in several important engi- neering works in this part of the State and as City Engineer there is no doubt that he would give satisfaction. For City Auditor E. A. Carson, a native of Los Angeles County, is the nominee. Mr. Carson is a young man and has cerved for four years past as assistant clerk of the Board of Supervisors. The Republican nominees for the City Council this year are exceptionally strong, and there exists not the slightest doubt as to the election of six of the nine nominees of the party. W. H. Pierce in the First Ward, Fred L. Baker in the Second, Louis F. Vetter in the Third, Herman Silver In the Fourth, Charles H. Toll in_the Fifth and E. L.

PORTLAND, Nov. 24.—The torpedo boat Davis, constructed at the Wolff & Se- wicker Iron Works of this city, was given her official trial trip on the Columbia River to-day. Not only did the Davis | make her official trial of two hours suc- | cessfully, but she made an average speed | of twenty-three and a half knots per | hour, a full knot in excess of require- | ments. Lieutenant Commander F. J. Drake, president of the naval board, this evening sent the following dispatch to | Becretary of the Navy Long: “PORTLAND, Nov. 24.—John D.

ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 24.—The attor- ney for the defendant in a case in the Circuit Court served notice that he would present his argument in poetry. The at- torneys for the plaintiff protested and the court arose in dignity and said that | he_would not admit poetical arguments. | The matter led to an argument about | the right to employ poetry in law, and | | it was found there were no precedents or statutes against such a method and the poetical attorney was obdurate. The court refused to let the case proceed on this basis and it was postponed until January 2. The attorney for the defense insists that he will present and argue his | | case in rhyme and there seems to be no | way to head him off. FOLLOWED BLANCO’S LEAD.

GIVES REASONS FOR THEM DECLARES THE “OPEN DOOR” POLICY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The New Question Is Being Widely Discussed by Statesmen at the National Capi- tal. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 24 —The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the fol- lowing: Serious constitutional questions are raised by the proposition of the American Peace Commissioners at Paris to incorporate in the treaty of peace with Spain a provision that the *“open door’ policy shall be put in force in the Philip- pine Islands. This policy means that all nations are to be given equal privileges with the Uni- ted States as to tariff charges, port charges and all regulations respecting commerce and shipping. This involves the imposition of a tariff on goods shipped from the United States as well as from other countries, and it al- most necessarily involves the imposition of a tariff in the Philippines differing from the general tariff of the United States. The question of constitutional construc- tion involved is whether Congress is pro- hibited from doing this under the provi- slons of the constitution providing that duties, imports and excises shali be uni- form throughout the United States, and prohibiting duties on interstate trafilc, or whether Congress has power to do it un- der the clause of the constitution giving it power to dispose of and make all need- ful regulations respecting territory and other property of the United States. One of the firmest believers in the un- constitutionality of the ‘‘open door” for the Philippines or of any tariff for any of the possesions of the United States lll“l‘l"l"f in any way from the general tariff of the United States i{s Seustor Caf- ruri' of Louislana. “I have no doubt that it would be wholly unconstitutional,” he sald to-day, “as 1 understand the constitufional provision that duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States means that the same duties ust be | levied at every port of the United States whether that port is one of the States or in territory held bé the United States.” I suggested to Benator Caffrey that It was held in some quarters that the pres- ent Hawailan tariff established by au- thority of the annexation resolution was regarded as a precedent for the proposed “open door” policy in the Philippines, and Rnssmly in Cuba and Porto Rico. I asked im if he regarded the Hawalian tarift as unconstitutional. ““I do,” he replied. *“I regard it as mere- ly one feature of a wholly unconstitu- tional transaction.’” Then the Senator made the startling statement that In his opinion, whatever be the form of government given by the United States to ba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, they would have stable Governments, and with stable Govern- ments and American capital and Ameri- can supervision, their sugar production would be increased so enormously as to completely break down the beet sugar industry not only of the United States, but of the worl BLANDIN MAY BE CITED FOR CONTEMPT His Attack on the Judiciary Has Stirred Up the Legal Pro- fession. CLEVELAND, Nov. 24—The sensational finish in the disbarment proceedings against State Senator Burke yesterday has stirred the legal profession of this city to its foundation. Ex-Judge Blandin, who so severely arratgned the members of the county bench, is recelving con- gratulations from all over the State for his fearless stand In the matter. The Common Pleas Judges will undoubtedly take some action in ref £ Ho eference fo the mat- | wag equal to Herschberger's. ter, but whether to resent it by bringing Judge Blandin up for contempt or to make a statement through the press has not yet been decided. any attorneys, however, belleve that Judge Blandin will be cited to appear for contempt of court. It is said that Judge Ong may take the initiative in this direction to-morrow morning. — . Died a. the Age of 107.

CORNELL 15 ~ DEFEATED BY PENNSYLVANIA Twelve to Six the Final Score. VICTORY GAINED IN THE MUD | STRAIGHT FOOTBALL UNDER UNFAVORABLZ CONDITIONS. During a Snowstorm the Quaker Kickers Force the Carnelian and ‘White to Play on the Defensive. Special Dispatch to The Call. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24—On a fleld knee deep with mud the University | of Pennsylvania football team this aft- | ernoon defeated the Cornell eleven by the score of 12 to 6. It is doubtful if ever a game has been | played under more unfavorable condi- tions, both as to the field and the | weather. The wind, which had been blowing strong from the northeast | nearly all day, suddenly shifted to the west a few minutes before play started, and instead of the persistent drizziing | rain a snowstorm of almost blizzard | proportions set in and continued with- out a let up until the game had been | concluded. ! When the Cornell team trotted on | the field at 2:04 o'clock it was seen that | Charlie Young, who played such a bril- liant game with the carnelian and white last year, was in his football togs | and was down on the card as one of | the halfbacks for the Ithica boys. | From a spectacular standpoint the | game was a weary one to look | at. The wretched condition of the field | made it aimost an impossibility to exe- i cute long runs, and Coach Woodruff’s | famous ‘“guardback” formation was | rendered almost useless, simply be- | cause the men could not get enough solid foothold to get under way. Then, too, it was absolutely impossible to prevent fumbling and to do accurate | kicking. Hare's two dismal attempts at kicking the ball out of danger when | it was within a few feet of the red and | blue’s goal line in the first half caused the first score, and C. Young’s kick, which went almost parallel with the yard lines right into Hedges' hands, was responsible for Pennsylvania’s sec- ond touchdown. Hedges had a clear field and the touchdown was easy. The first half closed with a score of 6 to 0 in favor of Cornell. Durin~ the | last few minutes of the first half the| ball had been kept in Pennsylvania's | territory because of Hare's failure to| punt more than fifteen or twenty vards. | C. Young, who did the punting for the visitors, gained from ten to twenty vards in this half on each exchange of punts. In the second half things were differ- ent. When the Pennsylvania vlayers went into their dressing room they ex- changed the wet, heavy suits they had been wearing for new, dry ones, and when they reappeared on the gridiron with their dry clothes and the wind | | would redeem themselves. This thev did in a measure, carrying the ball down the field by steady plunges, varled with an occasional end run to Cornell's 25-yard line, from where Out- land carried it nver for a touchdown in a delayed pass. The play during the second half was almost entirely in Cornell's half, the carnelian and white being forced to play on the defensive nearly the en- tire half. Both teams relied almost on straight football. For Cornell Sweetland, Starbuck, Lueder and C. Young did the best work. The former. in particular, put up a re- markable game. Outland, Coombs and Hare were the best ground-gainers for the Quakers. The rourh weather had no a--arent effect on the attendance at the game, and by 2 o'clock there were 20,000 peo— ple in the huge amphitheater. Neither did the severe storm dampen their ar- incessant yell from the time the ball was kicked off at 2:09 until time was called for the end of the game. The teams lined up as follows: Pennsylvania.

PAT O’'DEA IS THE KING OF KICKERS Puts Up One of the Greatest Per- formances on Record During the Game at Evanston. EVANSTON, Ill, Nov. 24.—Wiscon- sin, 47; Northwestern, 0. Pat O'Dea is king. He demonstrated to-day in the game between the elevens representing the University of Wisconsin and North- western University and before one of the largest crowds ever assembled at Evanston to witness a football game that he is one of the greatest kickers ever seen on a gridiron. Standing on the fifty-five-yard line he kicked a goal from the field. The ball went high above and squarely between the goal posts. Twice he missed a goal by the yard line and he made another from the thirty-yard line. His punts averaged over fifty yards. His all-around play- ing showed a vast improvement, the firm footing giving him an opportunity to show his sprinting and dodging abil- ities. His tackling was hard and sure and his return of the ball after a kick ‘Wiscon- sin’s exhibition of team work was beau- At the close of the first Wiscon- sin had a score of 21 and Northwest- MICHIGAN WINS THE WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIP Before a Big Attendance the Maroons of Chicago Go Down Before the Maize and Blue. CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—The Western football championship goes to Michi- gan. On a field that was simply perfect for fast football and before a crowd of fully 12,000 the maroons of Chicago ‘went down before the maize and blue of Michigan to-day by a score of 12 to 11. Michigan's score represents two touchdowns, goals being kicked in each instance. Chicago made one touch- down, a goal and a goal from place- ment. The reversal of form shown by the Michigan men since they barely succeeded in defeating Northwestern was something remarkable. The Michi- gan line, in which big holes were torn by the light Western team, was simply impregnable to-day, with the exception of about ten minutes in the second half, when the Chicagos, with defeat staring them in the face, pushed their oppo- nents aside with apparent ease. The styles of play adopted by the two teams were altogether different. Michi- gan, with the exception of one or two double passes, relied almost altogether on straight football, line bucking and runs around the ends. Chicago, on the contrary, used trick plays throughout. Several substantial gains were made by double passes, but in several in- stances the plays, on account of the good work of the Michigan ends, Ben- nett and Snow, resulted in actual loss of ground. Team work of a high order was shown by both elevens. KANSAS CITY,; Nov. State University, 12; Missouri University, 0. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 24—North Carolina, 6; Virginia, 0.

The score was 6 to 2 in favor of the miners when the game was called by the referee on account of darkness. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Nov. 24.—Haskell Institute Indians forfeited the game to Ensworth Medics in the last half to- day by leaving the field. Rowdyism of Ensworth players was the reason. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 24— With the temperature several degrees below zero and on a field of snow, flanked and fenced in by drifts, the Minnesota and Iilinois universities’ football teams played to-day, the vis- itors winning 11 to 10. OMAHA, Nov. 24.—The Jowa Uni- versity eleven defeated the gridiron warriors of Nebraska University in their annual game in Council Bluffs to- day by a score of 6 to 5, Captain Mel- ford of the latter eleven failing to kick the goal that would have made the game a tie. 24.—Kansas State 24.—Chicago, — THANKSGIVING GAMES ON COAST GRIDIRONS | An Easy Victory for the Chico Team Over the Marysville Athletic Club’s Eleven. MARYSVILLE, Nov. 24—The football game was played here to-day between the Waterland football team of Chico and the Marysville Athletic Club's eleven and resulted in any easy victory for the vis- itors. The score was 5 to 0. The Chico boys showed superior knowledge of the game and excelled in team work. Eu- gene Boyd, Frank Gilman, W. O'Brien and Eachus did good individual work for Marysville. The visitors made their points in the first half, when they made a touchdown after a long run. Despite a heavy norther a good-sized crowd wit- nessed the contest, which was too one- led to be interesting. ULARE ov. 24.—The Thanksgiving football game between the Fresno High School team and the Tulare High School team was witnessed by one of the largest crow The game was called promptly at 2 p. m. and was warm and exciting from start to finish. It was handsomely won by the Tulare team by a score of 18 to 1l. Of the' Tulare team George Whitson, Marcus Dewitt and Bert Hoffman covered them- selves with glory, and Fred Moore, Mer- ton Moore and Chance and Brown of Fresno were equally good players. 1.0S ANGELES, Nov. 24—The Univer- ty of Southern California football eleven defeated the cream of Pomona College to- day at Athletic Park. Bcore, 14 to Il Tt was a spirited game throughout. Hayes, Pomona’s fullback, was seriously hurt and was taken from the fleld in an ambu- lance. The result of the game is to make the High School team of this city the champions of Southern California, the San Diego High School team having forfeited | a game to that team by its non-appear- afice here to-day. SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 24—San Bernardino High School football team defeated Redlands High School team this afternoon at Athletic Park by a score of 23 to 0.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 24—In the ball game to-day San Jose defeated Oakland by a score of 14 to 0.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24—People were still talking to-day of the fiasco indulged in by James J. Corbett and Tom Sharkey at the Lenox Athletic Club on Tuesday night. Instead of decreasing, the bad look of the affair is increasing, notwith- standing the vigorous denials of those supposed to be in the “job.”” The state- ment of Referee ‘‘Honest John” Kelly, made to-day in refutation of one of Cor- bett’s remarks, serves only to give the as- pect of affairs a worse appearance. “Honest John" strenuously denied that Corbett or any of his seconds either by word of mouth or look asked him to de- clare all bets off. And the referee of the contest made the denial as emphatic as it could possibly be made. It was the gen- eral opinion to-day that the explanations and denials of Corbett, McVey and all the rest are so flimsy and contradictory and transparent that the restoring to sight of a blind man would hardly be necessary for him to see through theém.
