Watt, how- ever, sald that if the force was doubled and it did not impair the efficlency of the service no objection would be made to the proposed amendment. Attorney Tilden submitted a substitute amendment in lieu of the one providing for a twelve-hour shift. The substitute amendment provided that the board on July 1, 1903, proceed to reduce the hours and time of service of all membeérs of the fire department until no member shall be required to serve more than twelve hours in every twenty-four hours, or more than six days in every week; also providing for an increase in the force of the com- anies so as to permit of the reduced ours. The substitute was ruled out of REMEN versely to Charter Amendment, Universal’ Fooi Choppers. | Nickel Plated Crumb Tray 10c— | The Supervisors’ Committee on Charter Amendments refused yesterday to recom- mend a proposed ordinance describing a proposal to the electors to amend the charter so as to permit of a special tax levy of not more than 10 cents on every $100 of assessed valuation to increase the number of employes in the fire depart- ment. The effect of the amendment would e to reduce the hours of daily service of Sremen from twenty-four to twelve. Previous to the consideration of the amendment of the committee the Fire Commission held a special meeting to sear the arguments of Attorney A. L. Til- fen, representing the firemen, in favor of the proposed change. The Fire Commis- sioners afterward proceeded to the Super- visors’ chambers to take part in the dis- sussion before the committee. Chief Sullivan of the fire department in favor of a double shift of fire- men, as it would give relief companies m case of & gen con on. Com- nissioners Hecht and Watt stated that order and was rejected because no provi- slon was made for the additional funds required. Watt said the increased mini- mum cost would be $450,000, but in order to insure a perfect system the force should be doubled, which would cost $700,- 000 additional. During the debate Tilden laced the committee In the position of '!ng opposed to the firemen’s interests, When he presented his substitute bili Braunhart charged him with doing it for political effect. D’Ancona’s motion that the committee report against the petition for a twelve-hour shiff, on the ground that it is inexpedient to submit amend- ments which have the effect of setting aside the dollar limit, was carried. The committee recommended a charter amendment providing for an increase in salaries for captains in the fire depart- ment to $135 per month, lieutenants and engineers $125 and hostlers $7. —_— Notice to Passengers.

WE NEVER HAD SUCH VALUES BEFORE—NOR SQ MANY OF THEM. All knds of iowels—all good—all cheaper to-morrow than they are al any other lime. Thousands upon thousands of towels (likely more than you ever saw before at one glance), Not an oid one; not an inferior or imperfect one; not one that isn’t entitled to a full price; not one that isn’t marked at a new low price to-morrow morning for the first time. Many a quarter off, others a third; some even a half off usual prices. What a chance to get towels! Who ever heard of towels being handled on such a scale? Even towel men laughed at us for getting so many. “What are you going to do with all those towels?” they asked. We were not going to wait for a call. We'd never grow much if we did. The aim was to create a towel demand. We could afford to sell them cheaper if we could sell more. The success of our last towel sale a year ago proved the soundness of this logic. So we pitched in with all our might to make this effort a still bigger success. Week after week the bargain lots have been accumulating—so has our enthusiasm—till now we can no more contain ourselves than the store can hold the towels. Why, did you ever see such Fine Towels as These for 7¢? We can’t buy them in big lots as cheap as that. heavy soft cotton, fringed and white. are just as unusual, as well as damasks at 22c.

Success. ‘Wireless telegraphy between Santa Cat- alina Island and the outside world will soon be an assured fact. Within a week from to-day messages from all over the world can be sent to Whites Point, about two and a half miles from San Pedro, ana from there transmitted by wireless telegraphy to Santa Catalina Island. All that is lacking now are wires from San Pedro to Whites Point. The Western Union Telegraph Company has poles on the way, and the work of setting them up and stringing the wires will be begun immediately upon the ar- rival of the poles. Assistant Superintendent Lamb of the Western Union Telegraph Company went to Angeles last Thursday and with Manager Edgar Beardslee of the Los An- geles office visited' Whites Point, where they witnessed tests which convinced them that the wireless system between Whites Point and Avalon, on Santa Cata- lina Island, was in practical working or- der. The Pacific Wireless Telegraph Com- gn.ny had applied to the Western Union or connection from San Pedro, with the Tesult that its desire will be complied wfih as fast as possible. r. ‘Lamb stated yesterday that he expected everything would be in working order a week from to-day. He sald that one mast, 152 feet high, had been placed at Whites Point, the ‘other being on a hill a little above Avalon. It stood 150 feet high. I must explain,” Mr. Lamb said, “that wireless telegraphy differs from the Morse system in transmitting from one point to another in that you cannot stop the sending operator, so that-you cannot ask for the repetition of a word, but must take it as it comes. ““The first test was made some time ago,” continued Mr. Lamb, “and showed 173 words in three hours' and a half, which was very slow, but greater repidity will be possible as the operator gets ac- customed to the new invention.” Mr. Lamb said that Mr. Beardslee had very successfully transmitted a message to Avalon and that a return -message from the island had been received by Lamb. “I went into a small room like a tele- phome box to receive the answer,” said Lamb, “and placed a receiv- er to each ear, and presently the letters came to me in sputtering sounds. After having once got accustomed to the length of the sounds I was able to take the message fairly well. All I required was practice.” —_—_— P. C.

MENEIL 0 WED 3 JWEETHEART Returns Home and Will Make Elsie Voight His Wife. ‘W=dding bells will chime for pretty El- sie Voight, for Roderick McNeil, the young wman who suddenly left the city after pro- curing a license to make her his wife, has returned with a heart full of repentance and a soulful desire to make reparation for his rash act. McNeil, who is the son of Stephen McNeil, a wealthy contractor residing at 688 San Jose avenue, disap- peared from his home early last July and went to New Jersey in the hope, it is said, of squirming out of a marriage with Miss Voight, with whom he had been keeping company for several years. Before he was of ‘age young McNeil procured a license to wed his sweetheart and his parents entered firm objections to the match. His mother told uim he dia not know his own mind and so he laid the license by until a few days before the Fourth. Then he was of age and his i mother told him to use it. McNeil replied that he knew his own mind and that he did not intend to use it; and so he tore the license @ wireds. The next day he left town, issued for McNell's arrest and papers for his extradition from New Jersey were got out. In the meantime Edward Shortall, a well known attorney, took an interest in Miss Voight’s troubles and through his/Anfluence the young man was induced to return to this city and marry the heart-broken girl. The criminal pro- ceedings against McNeil will be dropped and the young couple will probably be wedded some time this week. Companions of young McNeil state that he has always evinced a strong attach- ment_for Miss Voight, and they are in- clined to believe that his refusal to keep his promise was the result of strong per- suasion on the_part of his parents, who are now said to be quite willing that the ‘wedding should take place.
