OFFICIALS II FRF
VERY ACTIVE IN
ELECTION
Scldovia, to the westward, was, nn
:il the appointment of a IT. S. com
nissioner and deputy marshal a quiet
own, ho many of its residents claim,
>ut since the arrival of the law and
trder administrators things have
ihanged.
A social institution vulgarly known
is a jail, has been the center of much
ictlvlty. And there’s a reason. The
narshal manages to keep unwilling
pi cats from whom he undoubtedly
nakes money out of the allowance pro
dded for their food. Besides he must
how the necessity for the office in
irder to retain his job.
A short time ago three unwilling
[nests made possible the employment
Dr as many friends of the deputy, in
leeping the guests employed. Kor
hese jobs it pays to be a good Demo
rat. One jailer, it is alleged, was
Uncharged because his politics were
lot right—he voted for Wickersham.
The recent election was a "hot" one
nd much was done by the marshal
n the way of instructing the natives
nd others, the proper way to mark
i ballot. After the election the bal
ots were thrown into a fire and de
troyed.
Of the many charges against the
overnment official, one concerns the
rrest of a native for making sour
iough. The native’s better-half had
peached" because he would not give
ier any of the brew. Kor this offense
le was held 70 days without a hear
ng. As a result, the poor fellow lost
ils season and is now without his Win
ers’ grubstake. However, this is not
he fault of the deputy, since there was
o properly qualified court to try the
■f'
■RThe interference with the native’s
irivate life and customs is not well
aken by them nor by the citizens of
he town. True, it is that many, if
tot the majority of the natives, are
ifflicted with disease, but to compel
t change without making a basis for
t possible must needs work hard
ihip. What is considered as good food
;o them is, in some cases, considered
ipoiled by the marshal and con
lemned. It is believed, however, that
[he marshal is acting in what he be
lieves to be the it of the
.nrresiiiig; sicnv.’*,. is un
jther complaint agava j*r*jlja 'n go
ing so tar as to kpk, boats
without the necessai^^* ars.
As for the justice, there is great in
dignation over his "lining" propensi
ties. In a recent case, two men were
subpoenaed to appear as witnesses.
On their way they met two men com
ing from court, one of whom acted as
voluntary attorney for the defense.
They were asked if court had ad
journed and they replied that it had
until 1 o'clock, whereupon the wit
nesses did not appear until that hour.
When asked by the judge why they
did not report immediately, he was
told the facts in the case as related.
This was construed as contempt ol
court, and each fined $10. One re
ceived in addition a jail sentence foi
offering an explanation during the re
luctant search for the ten spot.
For these methods of enforcing law
and order the residents are quite hos
tile, and are not inclined to make al
lowances because these powers art
now at the business. It is reported
that District Attorney Spence wil
look into the matter.

Goaalp About Events of National
Importance and the Persona
Who Are In the Head
Liner Classes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29. — The
recent defeat of the University of
Pennsylvania football team by the
University of Oregon, following the
defeat of Brown University last year,
has elicited no end of comment and
comparison between the relative mer
its of eastern and western teams.
J The concensus of opinion seems to
the effect that the east, In its future
games, will have to send Its best team
west in order to win, and there
will be little likelihood of success as
long as the teams that make the
transcontinental journey are selected
on the basis of faculty permission in
stead of merit.
That the teams considered the best
of the eastern football elevens likely
is to meet with faculty opposition and
that an inferior team may be granted
permission to make the trip Is, of
course, recognized as inevitable. But
with the caliber of the coast teams
that annually are being turned out, it
is believed the easterners will be
doomed to further disappointments if
they are represented by faculty picked
organizations. This belief is further
strengthened by reason of the fact
that it generally is recognized that
the long transcontinental trip is, in
itself, no inconsiderable handicap even
for the best teams.
The fact that the crowd attending
the last east versus west match at
Pasadena, California, was estimated
to be the largest that had witnessed
a football game on this coast is taken
as evidence of the tremendous inter
est which these games arouse.
Considerable regret has been ex
pressed in athletic circles over the
decision of the Rocky Mountain Con
ference to abolish the hammer throw
front its list of field events. The
javelin throw was substituted as be
ing less dangerous. It is claimed that
while the javelin thrower has practi
cally absolute control over the direc
tion of his missile, the hammer throw
er, on the contrary, with the many
sharp, quick turns of the body neces
sary in launching the weight, is liable
to lose his sense of direction.
To the California boxing enthusi
ast the bill of Assemblyman Frederick
C. Hawes, which will attempt to re
introduce boxing into the state, is of
prime interest.
The bill calls for a boxing commis
slon of three members to be appoint
ed for three year terms by the gover
nor, and is designed to permit bouts
up to and Including ten rounds. Whe
ther decisions are to be rendered is
left to the discretion of the commis
sion. In a general way the bill re
sembles that under which boxing Is
conducted in the state of New York.
As an Initiative measure profession
al boxing was voted out of existence
by the people, and for that reason the
Hawse hill, even If It succeeds In pass
ing will have to be submitted again to
the people to vote on.
The open golf tournament which de
cides the championship of Southern
California will hereafter be held an
nually In rotation at the various clubs
making up the Southern California As
sociation, no one club to hold the
event two years in succession. This
year's tournament will be held on the
course of the Mldwick Country (Tub
on March 21 and 22.
The career of C. J. Hunt, former
football coach at Carletnn College,
Northfleld, Minn., who has been en
gaged to coach the team of '.he Uni
versity of Washington, will be fol
lowed with unnsual interest. Hunt Is
stepping into the shoes vacated by
(lilmour noble, who has a record of
nine seasons, during which time bis
team suffered not a single reverse.
The coming of Hunt to Washington
will mark the Inauguration of a new
regime in athletics at the university.
Creation of a department of intercol
legiate athletics is a departure dis
tinctly new.
As a director of the new department
Hunt will have entire supervision of
all branches of intercollegiate sport
except the crew. As in past years
Coach llirnm H. Conibear will direct
the work of the crew without the as
sistance or supervision other than
his own. In football, baseball, basket
ball and track Hunt will have entire
charge.
Hunt will be head coach of the
football and basketball ami will be
in direct charge of the work of teams
in these two branches of sport. In
baseball, although Hunt will have sn
pervision, l)ode Brinker, center field
er of the Vancouver baseball team,
who coached the varsity nine last
year, will remain as active coach ol
the track men.
Interclass football games have been
abolished at the University of South
ern California by an order of i’resi
dent G. J. Ilovard. These games are
played at the close of the regular
football season, and by untrained, in
experienced men. For several years
the games have been marred by nu
merous slight accidents to the play
ers, and rather than run the risk of
someone being seriously hurt, Dr.
BOvard decided to abolish the games
altogether.
