THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1896. HAD ONLY TO GALLOP, Crescendo Took the Palo Alto Stake From an Ordinary Field. WAS AN 0DDS ON FAVORITE. Starting Favoiite, Logan the‘Traveler Finished Behind Imported Miss Brummel. The Palo Alto stake was the feature of the programme the closing day at the Bay ck. The origical conditions of , ¥hich was worth $1500 to the were framed for two-year-olds, exigencies arose preventing the event of how far Crescendo would win by, and such proved the case. Mr. Ferguson met with better success than with his fields in the stakes previously run, dispatching them in fine order. Mount McGregor 11 went to the front with a fine showing of speed, turning into the stretch with a commanding lead of two lengths. The favorite, who had been gradnally moving up from fifth position, was at this juncture third. He indulged the Burns & Water- house youngster with the lead until well on toward the wire, when he romped past him and won easily by a length in the fast time of 1:1134. ~Argentina, the Santa Anita stable entry, finished in third place. The attendance was only fair, and in the ring the betting was to all appearances the lightest of the week. Favorites cap- tured but two of the six events. The opening race for_ three-year-olds at five furiongs was taken in a common can- ter by La Mascota, nmniin: ;.;;1 'UPL;?“:)"“’-‘ betting. The 2}4 to 1 favorite, 'son, finished in the place, with Myrtle H third. The El Primero stable’s hlnc_'k horse Bueno was backed down from 7 to 5 to | evens, and took the next event on the | card, a seven-furlong run,in the easiest | possible fashion, after waiting on the out- | sidcer Hanford until the stretch was reached. The second choice, Adam, was a good third. The big dump of f the day occurred in the run auring the year just passed, so the starters in yesterday’s race, although in reality three-year-olds, were weighted by the handicapper according to the two- year old scale of weights for the month of ecember. There were eight starters d e the flag, the distance being er the short six-furlong course. Naglee crack colt Crescendo, carrying 21 pounds, was an odds on favorite; the big chestnut going to the post 7 to 10, which, considering the lot op- posed to him, seemed a very iiberal price. Good long odds were laid agai the others; Miss Maxim, Kamsir, Argentine and Joe K being fancied in the order named. Good judges =aid it was simp a matter se. Mestor went into the start- | i‘fi“fl:fi,’ffi ea 6 to 5 favorite, with Colonel | eightman elmostas heavily a backed sce- ond choice. The Lark was well played at remunerative odds, but met disaster at the jump. When the field was sent Cairns, on the 30 to 1 shot Gold Dust, was over the first jurp in front, and Jeading the entire route won hand four Jengths before Colonel Weightman. Mes- tor ran an unaccountably bad race, finish- ing a tired third. The mile and a sixteenth purse race saw old Logan, the 11 to 10 choice, go down in defeat before the prowess of Mr. Macdon- ough’s English-bred filly, Miss Brummel. The latter was a heavily played second choice, the 214 to 1 posted against her be- ing quickly cut to 2. The filly passed e —— e e N “THE CALL” RACING CHART.

The roan mare illumn D was again made a hot favorite in the last race of the day, a short six-furlong sprint. Although such good sprinters as Don Gara, Hymn, Model and Empress of Norfolk were starters, they were overlooked in the rush to back the roan sprinter. The race apparently sim- mered down to a drive in the stretch be- tween Hiram Argo, Emma D and Don Gara, who were heads apart forty yards from the wire, when Lloyd brought Hymn up on the outside and won handily by a neck. Hiram Argo was placed second, with the favorite in third place. The win- ner bad 12 to 1 against him at post time. Track and Paddock Ttems. Bookmaker Leo Mayer backed El Pri- mero in the opening race. Hughes & Co. chalked 4 to 5 against Crescendo and got a $1000 bet from Ed Purser. The horses of D. J. Lynch that were sold at auction by Killip & Co. vesterday brought only fair prices. J. C. Humphrey paid $410 for Contribution. Three Forks was knocked down to G. Farrar for $500 and Volt to W. Short for $160. Ollie John- son bid $350 for Red Will and secured him. Frank Carr, a young man with aspirations toward the turi, got Riot for $275. The others brought lesser prices. Hanford, who finistied second, the sec- ond event of the aay, was posted as being five pounds over weight. When Ballard, who rode him, weighed in at the conclu- sion of the race he was found to be eight pounds over his carded weight of 105 pounds. According to the rule all bets were paid on the horse as finished, but he was disqualitied, receiving no nart of the purse. Ballard, who unthinkingly had donned a heavy undershirt, which ac- counted for the increase in weight, was fined $25 by the judges. Hymn was attached about half an hour before the last race in which he started was called. T. H. Williams Jr. released the attachment and the horse went out and won at ocds of 12 to 1. His owner, Jockey L. Lloyd, was one of the happiest men on the track after the race. DEsias RACING AT INGLESIOE, Reopening To-Day of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club’s New Course. The Fair Sex Will Be Admitted With- out Charge, It Being Popular Ladies’ Day. The picturesque new course of the Pa- citic Coast Jockey Club at Ingleside will be thrown open to the public again to-day, after a cessation of two weeks' racing, and | racegoers will once more see some high- class fields face the flag. The occasion will also be ladies’ day, | and fair lovers of the “sport of kings” be admitted to the course free of any ad- mission ch: The programme is an excellent one. Not the least attractive feature of the card a quarter handicap hurdie race, wi | best jumpers on the track sportin . | During the temporary luil in racing at ! the new track many improvements have | been wade about the grounds. The exits | | to the main entrance have been widened, | th tne ilk. 101 to obviate any unnecessary crushing or | jostling in the hurry to pass through the turnstiles. Additional fencing has beau- fied the outlyinz ground. A costly gas plant will furnish the illumination for the betting ring, restaurant, bar, offices and | storerooms. | The inner track is also about completed, Superintendent Allen baving expressed the opinion that by Saturday of the present week it will be ready to race over. Professor Huber's band of soloists will | furnish the music, which is a most attrac- tive feature of racing.

The Street Committee at Last to Con- sider the Advisability of Using Bitumen. Residents along Folsom street gre wait- ing the result of to-day’s session of the Street Committee of the Board of Super- visors with great anxiety. For months they have been holding mass-meetings | {and passing resolutions to convince the | Board of Supervisors that the street shouid | be repaved with bitumen from end to end. In this they have partially succeeded. The members of the board have said they thought it was advisable to have the street bituminized. But they have added that they could not afford the expense. It is to convince them that the expenditure is not only necessary but is really due that a committee of seven goes before the Etreet Cemmittee at 10 o’clock to-day. This committee consists of James D. Phelan, Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, Harvey Som- ers, Georze A. Razbe, Henry D. Russ, A. B. McGuire, 8. Samuels, T. Schwartz and G. L. Center, who will be accompanied by their attorney, George D. Shadburne, who will make the chief plea. The other gentlemen will add their voices in strength- ening the arguments. “Nothing has been done for Folsom | street since it was accepted thirty years ago,”’ said G. L. Center, one of the com- mitteemen, Jast night. “It is practicaliy worn out. It has settled from eight to six- teen inches below the official grade and is in =0 bad a condition that repairing will do it no good. ‘It must be made over entirely. To re- ave it with bitumen would cost $20,000. To patch it up with the old material would cost $25,000. This would be so much money thrown away, for in a short period the pavement would be as bad as ever. ' “This is what we want to convince them of. The new streetcar track will, of course, be built on the official grade. This will necessitate the building up of the street, and the Supervisors owe it to this side of Market street to do the work well. “Even if the City did not owe the $80,000 to us for the repairs it bas left undone on Folsom street it ought to grant us what weask. Up to date it has given the region south of Market street practically nothing for its sireets. We have $30,000,000 worth of taxable property aud haif the popnia- tion of the City, vet last year we received ractically but $8500. Of this amount ¥7000 was for a sewer on Fifteenth street and $1500 for improving Columbia Square. ‘1 um afraid we will meet our Waterloo, though,” he added. *“The board must re- cognize the practical necessity of what we ask, but they want to use the money for something else. In case they decided that way we will haye to wait another year for anew tax levy.” e — London has 75,000 street lamps. is the event for the ‘*leppers,” a mile and | | and members he said have made special | SCOTTISH RITE MASONRY, The Annual Communication Was Begun Yesterday in the Temple. GRATIFYING REPORTS MADE. The Election of Officers to Be Held To-Day—A Banquet in the Evening. The Grand Consistory of Masters of the Royal Secret Thirty-second degree of the Aucient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, in and for the State of Cali- fornia held its twenty-sixth annual com- munication at the Masonic Temple in this City yesterday. The consistory was opened in full form at 1 .M. Henry A. Cline, thirty - third grand master, presiding. Over 100 were in attendance. The minutes of the last annual communi- cation and subsequent special communica- tions were read and approved. Petitions for degrees were received and referred to the appropriate committees. Grand Master Henry A. Cline delivered his annual address, which was received with much gratification. He said that it afforded him great pleasure to state that | the Scottish Rite was in a more prosperous ! and he understands why he_ lost his money. In the poolrooms he may be betting after the Tace is over. A prominent ofhcer of the association, corroborating the information and going more into details, said: I want this understood: We are not fighting anybody; it is simply to protect the racing business. The association is running the race- track not only for its own interests, but for the horsemen, the breeders and the honest sports- men, and it does not purpose to encourage something that the people of San Francisco seem to be strongly opposed to. Pl gl MORE WARRANTS OUT. Prosecuting Attorney Dare Says Pool-Seilers Are Actlng in Bad Faith and Will Be Arrested. The law seems to have no terrors for downtown pool-sellers, as they persist in carrying on their nefarious business. Asa result four warrants were sworn out in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morn- ing, and in the aiternoon Policemen Syl- vester and Keys arrested William Jackson, rooms 9 and 10, 9 Ellis street; Frank C. Patterson, 9 Ellis street; Ed A. Stiliman, rcoms 5 and 6, 9 Ellis street, and Francis M. Garver, 25 Ellis street. Each gave §300 cash bail. Stillman and Garver are clerks for pool- sellers, and the police are determined in future to arrest clerks as well as pro- vrietors. ““The pool-sellers,” said Prosecuting At- torney Dare yesterday, “are acting in bad faith in asking for continuances till after the decision on the Givens appeal case. It was only to-day that the appeal in that case was filed, although Givens was con- victed by a jury and sentenced over two weeks ago. “I have asked the pool-sellers to grant me this concession. If they close their places of business till the decision 1n the Givens case is reached I will close my cal- | GEORGE J.

This was due | in part to the great increase in the attend- | ance and the perfect barmony that bas | prevailed among the members, and among | the lodges. | The grand master on this point re- | ported that during the past year no com- | plaints have been made by the subordinate lodges for the committee of jurispru- | dence to work upon. The increase in the | membership has been remarkably large | and the grand master predicted a most suc- | cessful year in 1896. All of the officers | effortsto carry oun’ the work laid out b; the last conclave and it is to their assisi- | ance that such a gratifying condition of | affairs is due. Grand Registrar George J. Hobe pre- sented his report, which was as gratifying as that of the grand master. He has held the position for twenty-four years and in | concluding his statement added that at no | time had the Scottish Rite been more pros- | perous. The report of the grand treasurer, Sam- | uel Levy, showed the financial statement | to be as satisfactory as could be desired. The reports were referred to the com- mittee on finance. Careful attention was paid to the read- ing of the returns from the subordinate bodies. W. Frank Pierce, thirty-third degree, | active inspector-general, “reported that | during the year he had established Lodges of Perfection, fourteenth degree, in Sacra- mento, Redlands, Pasadena and San Diego. | The meeting adjourned to meet this | morning at 10 o’clock, when the reports of ) the several committees will be read. i The annual eicction of officers will be held in the afternoon. After conierring the thirty-second degree, full form, in the | evening, a banquet will be held. N0 WS TO FOOLROONS Ingleside Track Has Taken a Determined Stand Against Them. o Not a Place in the State to Get the Information by Telephone or Telegraph. Not a poolroom in San Francisco or any other town in the State will getany in- formation direct by wire from the Ingle- side track to-day or after to-day. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has taken effective steps to separate the racing under its auspices from the unpopular associations of the downtown poolrooms. The telegraph wire connecting the track with the City has been leased by the club and hereafter it will be private and ope- rated by a man in the employ of the Ingle- side authorities. The telephone, Mission 269, was put in at the track especially for the club and at no time has it been under the control of ths telephone company. By | absolute restrictions placed upon these two means of rapid communication the association will strike a hard blow at downtown poolrooms with the accompani- ment of women and youthful gamblers. Edward Corrigan, one of the directors of the Pacific Jockey Club, said last night: The substance of our arrangement is this: the entries to Ingleside track won't be fur- nished to any poolroom in the State. Heretofore they have been taking the information tele- graphed to Stockton and sending it back here immediately by leleYhone. Of course, we could get quite a revenue if ‘we saw fit to furnish the poolrooms with the news. T don’t know how long thisarrangement may Iuti“]'l'he chances are 1t will be in effect quite & while, There's one thing, the people are not going to be cursing the racetrack for what is done in the dives downtown. Our object is just to keep the track clean and {ree from the evil effects of %Dolmom. When & man bets at the racetrack he sees the race endar in regard to their cases. Thatis a fair and equitable proposition, but they won't agree to it and continue to carry on their business. The resultis that we will continue to arrest them and I am prepared to give them a trial every day. “Ninety or 95 ver cent of the citizens want these places closed and only 5 or 10 per cent want them kept open. Itis there- iore the duty of the police, backed np by the law, to ‘see that they are kept closed when it is unlawful to keep them open.” A TRAVELER R_OBBED. The Thrilling Experience of A. Brownley With Footpads—Lost 8500 in Checks. A. H. Brownley of London, Canada, ar- rived here last night, after an exciting ex- perience at Santa Monica with footpads, during which he lost $500 in checks issued to him by the American Express Com- pany. He had some §3000 more in checks in his pockets from the same company, but luckily the thieves did not have time to secure them, H. As for his greenbacks and gold, he hada | good lot of voth, but he had fortunately given it into the keeping of his wife a few moments before. She had gone for a walk with thelr little son. Mr. Brownley is at the Russ House. He was here a week ago, when he first arrived from Canada. As he was having his money and other valuables put in the safe the first night he noticed a middle-aged man anxiously watching him. On the train going south, afterward, the same man fell into conversation with him. At Santa Monica he went with Mr. Brown- ley for a stroll on the beach. They fell in with a tall, gaunt man. who said he was from Kentucky, and bad brought horses to California to sell. Suddenly he drew a big revolver and told Brownley to hand over his money. He had but’l5 cents in cash, and snowed it. “You've got more,” said th ““Geu out that pocketbook.” Brownley had to produce it. The other man obligingly assisted in handling its contents. Ten checks, each for §50, were found, and Brownley was compelied to use a fountain pen which they saw in another pocket in signing them. Then the thieves started to run away with them. Brownley had a revolver and was just on the eve of pulllnF it when a third man, evidenty a confederate, arrested him. The latter soon let him go and all escaped. The checks were numbered from 611,650 to 611,690 inclusive. They ere issued at London, in Canada, and Brownley has notified California authorities and tele- graphed to Canada stopping their payment. He has had no clew to the thieves since he was robbed. Heis on his way to New Zealand. JORGENSEN RECEPTION. A Brilliant Studio Affair Given in Honor of W. J. Batchelder and His Bride. The studio of Chris Jorgensen, on Mort- gomery and California streets, was ablaze with lights from Japanese lanterns last night. The rooms were decorated beauti- fully and at least 200 of the leading people of theart and social world had gathered to a musicale and reception given in honor of W. J.

PHYSICIANS IN CONSULTATION. He Is Said to Be Afflicted With Serious Stomach Disease—Something of His Record. Governor John E. Jones of Nevada, who for many weeks has been ill at the Palace Hotel, has had a relapse. It is doubtful if he recovers. Some ailment only vaguely defined as stomach trouble was said in the earlier stages of his sickness to bother him. This was the Goyernor’s belief himself in talk- ing about it not long ago. He grew better for a time and was able to be outa day now and then. Once he thought he would be able soon to return to Nevada. But a few asys ago he grew worse again. The pallor of his countenance, which has been noticed all along, increased, and he took to his bed, where he now lies ina critical condition. Dr. J. O. Hirschfelder and Dr. C. M. Richter are in almost constant attendance. Other physicians consulted with them in the Governor's room yesterday. Mrs. Jones is with the Governor, as she has | been all along. Strict orders have been | given to admit no one, so ill is the patient. It is stated now that the ailment is can cer of the stomach. Whatever it isitis evident his case is serious. For a time last night he was said to be very low. There is much interest in hiscase among the Nevada people now here and the many others who know the Governor. Governor Jones was the first State official in Nevada in 1892 to cast his future with the silver party when the fight began for free coinage. He was State Surveyor-Gen- eral at the time, finishing his second term. The silver party raised its standard in the eastern part of the State, and a call was made for supporters of the white metal from 2ll quarters. Governor Jones, who had lived most of his life in Nevada, im- mediately announced that he was for free coinage against any party, State or sec- tion; that it was the logical stand for Ne- vadans to take against the old parties, and that he wanted to be recognized as a mem- ber of the party that protected the State’s greatest product. The result was that the silver party, at the ensuing State Convention, nominated him for Governor, and he was elected by an overwhelming majority. The two old parties (Republican and Democratic) were buried in an nche of votes, and the State capital was filled with silver men. Previous to that Mr. Jones had been a | Republican, but latterly put silver before evervthing else, believing it to be the ulti- mate salvation of the Sagebrush State. His record as a Governor has been of the conservative and deliberate order, and his judgment on all State matters is consid- Governor John E. Jones of Nevada. (Sketched a month ago by a * Call” artist.] ered safe and diplomatic at the same time. is reputation for honesty has been an object lesson for vounger politicians and his promises were never broken. A remarkable thing about Governor Jones is his practical knowledge of the earlier training that make men capable heads of a government. A. B. FORBES EXPLAINS. On Behalf of the Mutual Life Insurance Combpany He Throws Light on the Phinney Appeal. Agent A. B. Forbes of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York makes an explanation which throws considerable light on the Phinney appeal according to his point of view. The Phinney appeal was mentioned by THE CALL yesterday. It involves a verdict for $97,012 84 rendered by the United States Circuit Court at Seat- tle, Wash., in favor of Mrs. Phinney on a $100,000 twenty-year policy. His explanation is as follows: The statement that the contention of the Mutual Life Insurance Company is that the premiums on a twenty-year contract must be paid for the full period of twenty years, other- wise no insurance can be collected, is mislead- ing unless properly qualified, and 'is liable to be much misunderstood. In justice to the company I would like you tosay for me that the obligation of the con- tract between Guy C. Phinney and our com- pany called simply for the payment of the remiums for twenty years provided the policy- older continued to live. At the end of the twenty years he would have gotten the full amount of the $100,000. This is the particuiar phase of benefit which we offer anda guarantee to policy-holders who continue to live bevond the time limit. It amounts simply to this: That, after paving their premiums for the time Jimit specified, they get the full amount of insurance thelr policy calls for without the element of death entering inatall. Ontheother hand, if a person dies under such a contract, after paying only one premium, the company pays the insut- ance just the same as if the policy-holder had lived end paid premiums for the full period of the time Limit. The trouble in the Phinney case was that Mr. Phinney did not have the money to pay bis second premium at the time it was due. However, the com&)nni was willing to carry Mr. Phinney, provided he did pay the second premiur within & reasonable time and could present a clear certificate of health. When our medical examiner, Dr. Eagleson. investi- gated his physical condition it was found tnat he was a very sick man, and for this reason his second premium was not accepted. He had forfeited his first premium by not paying the second on time; but worse than all ne had be. come t00 unsafé & risk physically to warrant the company in stre(ching any points in his fauvor. We did the best thing a business insti- tution could be expected to o, namely, offer to overlook his delinquency if he made it good, provided he could show that he was as healthy & man as when origi; y insured. —————— = An Overcoat Thief. C. H. Toster. the sneakthief, who has re- cently been helping himself to overcoats from the offices of real estate agents and stock- brokers on Montgomery street, appeared in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morning, snd at the request of the prosecution the case was continued till January 15.
