12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1895. CAUSHED B THE WHEELS, The Associated Clubs’ Ten- | Mile Road Race a Series of Misfortunes. HARVEY HARRY KILLED. Acme Club, McDougall, Won First and Wing of San Jose Made Best Time. It was a great day for the riders of the wheel yesterday and those who -crossed the bay and rode to Haywards witnessed probably as exciting a road race as has ever been seen hereabouts before. Cer- tainly in point of entries and the number ients happening to the riders it was head of any previous similar even’ of the kind. One serious mishap ozcurred and that was 80 serious and so unfortunate that it cast a damper over the entire day’s sport. It was about 11:15 o’clock and some of the riders were as much as twenty minutes on y. An electric car, No. 34, crowded with officials and the press representatives, had started at the same time the limit men did and had kept up with them all the distance. It was nearing the water-tank at the Haywards roads, going at a high rate of speed, when several wheelmen, not racers, by the way, who were riding a side path alongside the railroad track, attempted to cross in front of the fast approaching car, The motorman sounded his whistle and the two who did manage to cross had a narrow escape.

And the cluband its annex flew toward the little citv that was the mecca for all cyclers in this part of the world | yesteraay. | There were any number of records broken | on that five-mile streich, and though the | | Haywards road was fairly alive with | bicycle-riders vesterds ou will discover | inquiring of the members of Tie CALL | | Bicycle Clu% this morning and all the rest | of the week that they passed everything | on the road, except a few pumps and soda- | water stands. With becoming modesty, however, born of a desire to give the other clubs and the unattached riders a fair | show and every possible encouragzement, | none of the records made by members of | Tue CALL wheelmen are published at this time. But if Jimmie Swinnerton insists upon geiting in the way with his tandem at future events, and such crack men as Simpson of the Chronicle and Jerome of the Custom-house insist upon_making_the road dusty when THE CaLi Bicycle Club passes by, extreme measures may be re- | sorted to, and a list of records published in tabular form that will make common, | ordinary people go into training at once. On the homeward trip the befiated trade | winds blew straight in the faces of all the riders, not even excepting THE CALL wheelmen, But it didn’t phase them in | the least, and they arrived in San Fran- { cisco in ample time for their respective duiies, as this morning’s paper will show. | The French Church. | The Rev. Father Audiffret of the French church Notre Dame des Victoires having gone to Cambridge, Mass., to take charge of a Cana- dian-French parish recently established there, Rev.

Leaving out of consideration altogether the humane part of the proposi- tion, it is to our interest thatonly pure milk should be sold. Under the present condition of affairs it is utterly impossible for any of us to make money, while there are many not covering expenses. “Thisis all due to adulteration, which enables unscrupulous venders to sell milk at half the living price and make money at that. Asan illustration of what impure milk means to the company with which I am connected, I will say that we bave been able to pay but one dividend in three years. This is due to other people selling adulterated milk at a much lower figure than it costs to produce the pure article, thereby forcing us to sell at their figures or not at all. The major portion of this milk comes from the adjoining counties—San :‘\Iateo, Marin, Alameda and Contra Costa. The dealers there are forced to put what is | called ‘preservaline’ into their milk, other- | wise they could not get it into the market. | Tais adulteration | with them, because of the repeated trans- is practically necessary fers and changes which must be made be- fore the City is reached; otherwise the milk would sour.” Mr. Tabor read an ordinance which he suggested the Board of Health, would sup- port. It suggested that every milkman ge required to first secure a permit from the P%‘:al;h'f[):l?“)tmfijm' which should be for- il i e holder were caught sellin, adulterated milk. 2 7 The proposed ordinance further stipu- lated that milk offered for sale should con- tain not more than 88 per centof water, nor less than 12 per cent of milk solids, the whole to show not less than 3 per cent of cream. The Babcock test was thought to be the proper method employed in de- termining the purity of the milk offered for sale. Dr. Williamson expressed himself as pleased with the apparent willingness of the Milkmen’s Association to aid the Board of Health in the matter of supply- ing the public with pure milk, and prom- ised to present the matter to them at the next meeting. For the edification of those present not familiar with the Babcock test, Dr. Williamson had Milk Inspector Dockery give a practical demonstration of the matter. The milk tested yielded a fraction over 3 per cent of butter fat. Dr. J. C. Spencer Saturday filed the fol- lowing report on_the milk furnished the City and County Hospital by John Roberts: Report on milk from John Roberts supplied he City and County Hospital: _Microscopical examination: Diminished pu- Tity cream fat. Cream, 6 per cent; specific gravity, 10.20. . C. SPENCER, City Bacteriologist. According to the Milk Inspector there should have been 12 per cent of cream and the specific gravity should have been 10.30. Consequently he contends that the inva- lids and patients of the City and County Hospital have been fed on impure and adulterated milk, which is all some of them are able to consume as food. Milk Inspector Dockery went at the milkman of the hospital like a sleuth on the trail of a bandit. Yesterday morning about 3 o’clock he went to the institution and secreted himself in the watchman's room, where be lay in wait for the arrival of the milkman. About 4 o’clock he was rewarded by the entrance of that individ- ual. who came in at the upper gate. After about four .cans had been carried in he seized one, shook it up well and took therefrom two samples, which were placed in bottles and promptly sealed. One of these samples was given the milkman, who happened to be a son of the man who has the contract to suppiy the hospital, and the other Mr. Dockery brought to town with him and turned over to the Bacteri- ologist of the Board of Health, whose re- port on the same appears above. Mr. Roberts will be arrested to-day and proceedings will be begun against him as soon thereafter as possible. He is liable o a fine of $500 and six months’ imprison- ment in the Coun il. A MONGOLIAN- BURGLAR, Ah Gung Is Captured While in the Act of Entering a House. Had a Complete Outfit in His Pos- session and Was an Expert at the Business. Sergeant Shea and his Chinatown squad made a clever capture of a professional Chinese burglar vesterday. He is Ah Ghung, alias Ah Woh, and 1s an all-round worker in the housebreaking business, as his kit and outfit show. For some time Chinese have been com- plaining to Sergeant Shea of smali burg- laries. and otherofficers have at numerous times found marks on doors and windows that bore the unmistakable imprint of the jimmy, but, though tney were exceedingly watchful, no trace of the culprit could they find until yesterday. Officer Tracey was walking down Bun- comb alley yesterday morning a few minutes before 11 o’clock on the watch for “‘dope fiends’ and more jimmy signs when he heard an unusual sound emanating from the head of an abandoned stairway, near Jackson street. The place had been closed at the street entrance and floored over at the top, a fact, in view of the pecu- liar noise, which was very suggestive to the officer. He accordingly lit a match, and, hold- ing it through an opening, beheld a Mon- golian sprawled on his'back and boring vigorously at the floor above. Tracey tore open the entrance and seizing a lamp ciose by started for his man, who retreated into the darkest corner as soon as he saw he was discovered. The officer soon hauled him out and on making an examination found he had cap- tured a burglar redhanded with all the tools of the craft in his possession. The heathen was sent to the California street station and & thorough investigation was made. 5 It was found that the Mongolian Jimmy Hope; had dug through a twelve-inch brick wall, sawed off a hard wood peam six inches square, and was when apprebeded, engaged in boring a circle of holes which | when sawed out would allow a man’s body | to pass through. Had he been successful, his improvised passageway would have admitted the houseworker into a closet from which he could easily have secured the jewelry of the dissolute Chinese women who occupy the building, and his haul would have been big with little danger of discovery. Ah Gung’s outfit consisted of a jimmy, a fine steel saw, bit and brace and several knives. A number of stolen articles were also found in his possession. The jimmy was fitted by the police into the marks on doors and windows previously discovered, and was found to just fill the indentures, A charge of burglary and one of attempted burglarly have accordingly been placed against Ah Gung, and more charges will probably be preferred. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, Coast Editors Are Planning to Cham- pion San Francisco as the Next National Meeting Place. The California Press Association has taken preliminary steps to have the next National Republican Convention meet in this City. The executive committee of the associa- tion met in the Occidental Hotel Saturday night and decided to call a general meet- ing for the 26th inst., to which representa- tives of the press associations of Southern California, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico will be invited. At that meeting officers of the State as- sociation will be elected, but the most im- portant business will be the discussion of methods to be employed in bringing the Republican convention to San Francisco. | An attempt will be made to interest the National Editorial Association in Califor- nia’s desire to have the convention. - Theexecutive committee was represented at the meeting by the foilowing members: { Allen B. Lemmon of the Santa Rosa Re- "Jublican (chairman), E. B. Willis and T. W. Sheehan of the Sacramento Record- Union, H. A. McCraney of the Lakeport Argus, T. J. McFarland of the Folsom Telegram, W. T.

The students of the Columbia Theater School of Dramatic Arts, under the direction of Leo Cooper, gave their initial performance last evening on the stage of the Columbia Theater. The programme consisted of three pieces, ““A i Fair {Jncnunter," ““The Setting of the Sun,” and “False Pretensions.” The performance was very creditable considering that the amateurs hu{only seven weeks training and that most of them faced an audience for the first time. The theater was crowded with friends of the youthful players who were liberally applauded . R Chinese Merchants Quarrel.
