Not for several moons has any- thing caused such a general shaking up as the polo game between Walter Ho- | bart's “Blues” and Joe Tobin's “Reds.” It was not for marbles or chalk, but for | coin on the side and glory.

WILLATTENPT ANEW WAL Clever Scheme by Which Local Firm Shaves the Ordinance. ——— A scheme has been evolved by which the poolsellers claim to have outwitted po- lice, ordinance and the letter of the law. | At any rate they will try it to-night at Harry Corbett's and test the new and highly ingenious plan of accepting money from bettors as fast as it comes in and wire the bets to San Jose, where all the | money will be placed. Under this new and carefully thought { out scheme Harry Corbett will act sim- | ply as an agent for the San Jose firm of iOstPthu( & Co. It is at this place where all the betting and' selling will be per- | tected. | _When a man wishes to place money on a fighter he will deposit the amount with the local agent and receive from him a | certificate of deposit, which recites the odds and on whom it may be wagered. As a saving clause the final con- | dition on the printed deposit is in sub- stance a reservation by the agent that if the bet cannot be placed the sum will be refunded. As soon as a deposit shall have been made the local seller will wire to the Ban Jose office, and if t | the return 'will be re. and the deposit certifica At Corbett's there will b tors to send and receive the m The poolsellers think they have of it, and for the matter of that so do their lawyers, who have given much tim. attention and counsel on the new scheme.

The latt built 4 houses for the real estate firm on Nir avenue, in South San Francisco, begin- ning last December. Two of the houses were properly completed and the material and labor were paid for by the contractor The real estate men claim that they paid him $3000 more on the other three houses on his representation that he had paid for all material and labor on them al “Pavert brought us George F.

AR The trouble between the planing mill | owners and employes is rapidly nearing | an end. According to several prominent | owners, it but remains for the millmen | to give a satisfactory guarantee that they | will hold to thefr inal proposition and the demand for an eight-hour workday | will be granted. This original proposi- | tion, according to Andrew Wilkie, Wil- liam Crocker and other mill proprietors, was to the effect that if the elght-hour | plan _was accepted the Labor Council would protect the mills from outside com- [ petition. “That is all we want,” sald Mr. Wilkie | vesterday. ‘“Any one can readily see that it would be useless for us, as eight-hour ye mills, to try to compete with outside fac- | torles that are running nine, ten and twelve hours Give us the protec- | tion il accede to the re- | que Should the elght hours be granted without this protection | 1 predict that at least twenty-five of the plants now running would be forced to ihe wall. My mill, for one, would have to | be put on the market.” | Mr. Wilkie's statement is significant in | that it indicates that the mill-owners are | now for the first- time ready to meet the men in a proposition. According to Mr. Crocker, the agreement which the own- | ers would now like to have)the men ac- cept was originally proposed by the coun- | i, but a month before the time came for a final settlement they backed down. President McCarthy of the Bullding Couneil in to this statement &3 t_evening: *“The Building Trades | Council feels satisfied that all branches of the bullding industry can be run on an eight-hour basis. The contractors are also satisfied that elght hours are long enough for any man to work on a build- | ing. That being the case, the miil-own- ers will find no difficulty In bringin lfi all | the men interested in the bullding busi- Under those conditlons work com- from a nine-hour establishment can located so easily and prevented so readily that it will not take long to stop in ““The mill-owners will then have a fair field to figure in. There will be no un- due advantage taken and all will have the same show. The contractors in this par- ticular case are just as anxious to bring these conditions about as are the mill- owners and when the mill-owners co-ope- rate with the other institutions which are deavoring to bring about the uniform eight-hour day, they will have consider- able more work to do than heretofore. But previous to these conditions being brought about the contractor must cer- tainly be protected. His Interests must be caretulr guarded and when they are, he, like all other business men, will see that it s to his advant; to 'have the work done in San Fr: These ars | clusively until all our mills here have | formally declared themselves in favor ot | the eight-hour rule.” An informal conference of the mill- | then be given the alternative of using the reasohs why we carnot consistently bar outside competition and compel loc: contractors to deal in home products ex owners was held last evening, when the situation was gone over. A geheral meet- ing of those who signed the agreement to continue as nine-hour shops will be held | either this evening or to-morrow -night, and it is stated on good authority that im- portant action along the lines quoted above will be taken. A regular meeting of the councll was | held Lahor Bureau headquarters | last e g, at which the situation wa discu The members were confident that had the battle nearly won.

The situation | there is peculiar. Contractor Wilkie is the proprietor of a mill in San Franelsco which has been classed as “unfair’” by the council, as the proprietor has refused to run on an eight-hour schedule. g, contractors in this city have been notified that the Buiiding Trades Coun OAKIA Building mill ope y has cil will not permit union men to work where “unfair’ material is used. | It is estimated that there are 150 build- Ings in course of construction here, em- ploying about 1500 men. Within a few | days, say the contractors, all the mill material “turned out before the lockout will have been used and contractors wili “fair” material or stopping work. ! To-day the plumbers employed b{ Con- tractor 'W. Batson on Third street, near Alice, were ordered out on the ground that Batson is ‘“unfair.” Contractor C. Nichols has consented to use material om “fair” mills and his name was re- moved from the taboo list. J. T. Kern, president of the local Bufld- Ing Trades Council, denles that a general sympathetie strike is to be ordered by the council, regardless of the millwork being “fair” or “‘unfair.” President Kern said: “Work from nine- hour mills s traced to its destination, both in Oakland and San Francisco, and the men warned not to handle it. The mills acceding to the eight-hour request and therefore considered fair are: The Humboldt, the Zenith, C. M. Jenkins, Mc- Manus & Gartner and Veitceh's mills, Those the council considers unfair are: Burnham, Standeford & Co.: Kendall's, Neihaus', Towle & Broadwell, Bridgeman & McCully and Ingler and Atkinson. The locked-out men are preserving excellent orlrlllor and are keeping away from the mills.” 3 At the Eva estate bullding on Thir- teenth street, near Clay, Dingwell Bros. have a_gang of men af work planing beams by hand. This morning they re- ceived a load of finished timber from the Burnham & Standeford mill, but the unfon workmen refused to handle it Dingwell Bros. say they will resort to primitive methods rather than suspend operations entirely.
