LIQUOR INTERESTS GET
DEFEAT FROM OWN MOVE
Injunction Requested Appears to
Make City of Colton Dry
for Four Years
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 18.—There
can be no move to undo the work of
the recent election at Colton, when the
liquor question was the issue, provid
ing the trustees elected on a "dry"
platform continue to stand by their
pledge, until the next city election
four years hence. Such is the decision
of legal authority to the board of
trustees of that city.
With the rendering of that decision
the liquor interests get a death blow
with the weapon which originated at
their hands. It was at flrst proposed
te put the Issue on the ballot as a
question to be voted on direct by
the people. The city clerk was in
structed, after the filing of the peti
tion, to place the question on the bal
lot, but at this point the liquor author
ities, served an Injunction and secured
the decision from the superior court
that In a city of the sixth class the
question could not be put to a vote of
the people and that the trustees must
decide the issue. This resulted In the
"drys" placing three candidates in tho
field, all of whom were elected with
the pledge to vote out the saloons,
which was done.
Had the question remained on the
ballot as a direct issue another elec
tion could be secured in a few months
time. The only redress the liquor in
terests now have is to wait four years
to contest at the trustee election.,
The liberal element at Colton is
seeking to secure a table license for
the Hotel Anderson, closed down when
the town went "dry."

TAFT URGES TWO
NEW BATTLESHIPS
President Leaves Beverly and
Announces Plans for De
fense of Panama Canal
CABINET TO PLAN ECONOMY
Ballinger Case Is to Be Ignored
When .Official Family Begins
Washington Meetings
. ___ [Associated Press]
BEVERLY? Mass., Sept. 18.—Before,
leaving for Boston tonight President
Taft announced that in his message
to congress in December he will rec
ommend the appropriation of $2,000,000
to begin the work of fortifying the
Panama canal.
The president also will recommend
that provision be made for two new
battleships of the dreajlnaught type.
Mr. Taft does not believe the econ
omy plans should preclude the con
struction of at least two battleships a
year until such time as the Panama
canal ls completed.
He believes the canal will have the
effect of doubling the efficiency of the
navy, and that after it is in operation
the building of new battleships can
be cut down to one a year.
The president will reach Washing
ton next Sunday. The cabinet will be
gin a series of dally meetings on the
morning of Monday, the 26th.' Secre
tary Balllnger, it is said, will attend
all the meetings, and, so far as Beverly
Is informed, the Ballinger case will not
be taken up.
CABINET 18 FOR ECONOMY )
Economy of administration in all de
partments will be one of the subjects
considered. Estimates for the coming ]
fiscal year also will be considered.
The supreme court appointments also
will be considered, though the presi
dent says he will not make these ap
pointments until congress meets.
Secretary Norton will Join the presi
dent at New Haven tomorrow and go
with him to Cincinnati. The president
will roach Cincinnati Thursday after
noon and will remain there until next
Saturday, when he leaves for Wash
ington for a week's stay. He will re
turn to Beverly on October 2 for a
fortnight, after which the summer
White House will be closed and the
family will return to Washington.
TAFT LEAVES BOSTON
BOSTON. Sept. 19.—President Taft
left Boston at 12:01 this morning for
New Haven over the New Tork, New
Haven & Hartford railroad.
OVERALL MAY NOT TWIRL
DURING WORLD'S SERIES
Cubs' Star Mound Artist Has a
Rheumatic Arm and Is in
Need of R^est
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—To use his own
words, Ovie Overall's pitching arm has
him guessing, and it is doubtful if tho
big fellow will be able to pitch in
the world's series next month.
• Overall himself has not given up
hope, and declared after he was taken
cut after the first Inning recently that
he would keep on working in a few
games before the world's series, to
prove to Manager Chance that he is
prepared to help win the coveted
honors.
Should Overall's arm fall to come
back before the world's series, Man
ager Chances-pitching staff will be
weakened considerably. It has been
said that It is just a dinger of Overall's
type and style that can beat the Ath
letics. He is cool, speedy, has control
and a drop curve that is a puzzler to
any club, and to a team like the Phila
delphia club should be effective. His
inability to perform against the Ameri
can league winners would throw the
burden of the pitching on Cole, Brown,
Ruelbach and Pflester. If one or two,
of these should happen to go wrong In.
the series the chances of the Cubs tak
ing the pennant would not be bright,
unless Connie Mack's men were in the
same condition.
