- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1896 B & | ——\M_——“*__m CARNER WAS RYPNOTIZED. His Ride on Lizzie H Caused Much Comment and He Was Suspended. A SUSPICIOUS BETTING RACE. Yankee Doodle Can Go the Route. George Miller Captured the Handicap Sprint. Are bookmakers' sheets always de- tectors of fraud? Do pool tickets al- ways indicate good faith on their holders’ | part? Does the sea give up its dead? Either Ingleside track is possessed of a Svengali, or Jockey Garner openly and wantonly pulled tue mare I H, favor- ite for the fifth race yesterday. Shades of Fred Carillo and Al Farrow! fornia rider was a martyr to the turf com- pared with yesterday’s ride. Dan Honig's mare and her rider were the sensation of the day’s racing. The race in question Was a seven-furlong run, with six starters. e H opened at threes, and was d down 10 7 t0 5, but whether the St. Louis contingent got aboard is not known, Atl.iany rate the public and form-players did. Not long before post time a lot of edn- cated coin was carted into the ring and Hazard, who some weeks ago escaped from the maiden class in a haid drive, was | backe:l from 10 down toand 5. Unity, with Cochran of Montalvo fame up, opened favorite and receded in the betting to fours. The Australian gate more closely st that. Lizzie H was away well, b 1t . _but Garner took her back.

In a “terrific” finish | Hazard won by a neck, with Unity second | half a length before the favorite. The | time was 1:30}¢—very slow. Garner’s ride | on Honig’s mare, who was simply choked | until the last 100 yards, was such a pecuiiar | | one that it created a sensation, and a big | | erowd gathered around the judges’ stand. | | _The judges, however, nverfouked every- | | thing for the time being and those who | expected to see bets declared off were dis- | appointed. Later the sheets were sent for | | and Garner was suspended pendine an in- | vestigation. | Outside of this one unpleasant feature the day’s sport was most enjoyable. The | ! favorites did not carry off first honors, for | but two were successful in winning purses, but all of the winning horses were well | suFLmrted. : The Australian starting-machine was tried with marked success in the twe- | Year-old event, which opened the day’s % P | racing. With one exception the young- | sters broke away on nearly even'terms. | in a hard drive the 13 to 10 favorite, Ingie- side, won from Seven Up by a short head. | Coady, on the secone choice, Modestia, | | was slow at getting in motion and ran un- placed. | The 2)4 to 1choice, Schnitz, for the next event at six and a half furlongs was in | front almost from the jump and won | easily from Fortuna. Artist ran an im- proving sort of a race, finishing third. The iron horse Logan again suffered de- feat in the mile and a sixteenth purse race, starting an even-money favorite. Yankee Doodle with Garner up was backed down from 234 to 1 to 8 to 5, and after runnin; under wraps to the stretch came on an won easily. Logan was an easy second, with Del Norte finishing in the show. Pittsburg Phil's mare, Derfargilla, was the favorite for the five furlong handicap at even money and 6 to 5. Mobolasca was a heavily played second choice at threes, with the “Kansas City Hindoo,” George Miller, third in demand. The latter horse took the lead before a furlong had been covered, and, never headed, won cleverly by a length and a half from Mobolasca. | Pat Murphy, with 50 to 1 about him, was a | good third. The favorite was beaten a furlong from home. Louis Ezell’s speedy mare, Babe Murphy, came out in the last race, a six and a haif furlong sprint, after quite a rest, and was | made a 4 to 5 choice. Backed from 5 to | 234 to 1, Morven, with Jones up, shot out | in the lead and,'never very hard pressed, | passed the judges a length before Braw Scot. The favorite finished a good third. Track and Paddock Items, Both of the six-furlong races on the card | to-day will be dispatched by the Austra- lian starting-machine. “Billy” McCormick has resigned his position as trainer for the Nevada stable. George Grant, manager for Theodore Win- ters, will hereafter handle the string. John Cochran has departed for his liome in St. Louis, where he will begin shaping up his two-year-olds for the summer sea- son. George Cochran will hsndle the horses leftin California. | It is said Trainer Hunn will soon send the grand racehorse Joe Ripley to the post. Sam Doggett has tired of California and ill depart for the East on Sunday. Sam is a great favorite with racegoers, and his | splendid finishes will be greatly missed. And now it is saia George E. Smith (Pittsburg Phil) will dispose of his horses in training and leave for a tour of Europe. The manage ment at Ingleside have in prospect a great attraction for the closing day of the present meeting on Wednesday | next. “Daggie”’ Smith, the owner of Oak- | land, has been anxious to put his horse against Cadmus at two miies, and as the owner of the latter horse, A. B. Svreckels, is perfectly willing, efforts are being made to get Claudius and Fred Garner to enter, making a four-cornered cortest for $300 a corner, with §500 additional adaed by the association. The maximum weight car- ried would be 110 pounds, with six allow- ances. This would prove the greatest drawing card of recent years, and it is to hoped this great quartet of distance horses can be brought together.

The second meeting of the recently organized Building Trades Council was held last evening and the delegates were Lighly pleased to admit the delegate of the Lathers’ Union into the council. As published recently in Tue Cavrr, the car- penters will present a protest at the next meeting of the Bupervisors against the employmentof police officers as carpenters in repairing the police stations. They ask{ that money be appropriated for the em- ployment of a carpenter. The Painters and Decorators’ Union will also present a similar potition that regular painters be employed in the painting work for the Fire Department. At present the regular firemen are doing all of the painting in and upon the engine-houses. The council last evening indorsed both of the petitions and protests. There was considerable discussion rela- tive to that part of the by-laws which will deal with the working-card system and | R. S.

While the Ezetas were in power he was an exile, and found an asylum in Guatemala. Fie says that Antonio Ezeta’s byplay of capturing Salvador by his cruises on the Barclay Golden is the laughing-stock of the whole of Central America. “Ezeta is now at Panama,” said he, “and there I suppcse he will remain. There is | one thing certain, and that is that he is without friends in Salyador. -~ 3 ““When be came cruising along the coast between 7000 and 8000 men came to Presi- dent Gutierrez and offered their services. They were largely business men, too. They simply were ready to close their doors and bring their own guns. ‘‘Ezeta’s strolling about with his new uniform, golden epaulets and cockade hat, and pretenses ata right to rule Salvador may win the judgment . of some people, | but it will have no influence in Salvador. ‘We know him of old. “The Ezetas when in power were simply bandits and Caligulas. They robbed .the treasury and citizens, and killed those who were in their way. Iam sorry their deeds are not known abroad as they should be. If they were a closer bond of sympathy would exist between other countries and Salvador. As it is the impression prevails that Salvador is really at all times a semi- barbaric country. This is not so. “Salvador is ?ni!e prosperous at the resent time. expect to remain in exico City for ai least six months before again visiting my country. I will sailfrom here to Acajutla and thence cross to the City of Mexico.” The envofinnd his secretary are at the Occidental Hotel. THE POKER MEN WIN. Judge Campbell Declares That the New Ordivance Is Uncon- stitutional. Sixty-four poker-players arrested Mon- day night in the Cafe Royal rooms were released yesterday afternoon by Police Judge Campbell. The ordinance against poker-playing in barrooms and public places, passed re- cently by the Board of Supervisors, was the basis of the arrest, but Judge Camp- bell declared that not only he believed the ordinance was unconstitutional, but he also knew that the meaning of the Super- visors was not to prohibit poker-playing except in oven places accessible to every- body and in full view of people entering barrooms and public places. It was intended that Judges Low and Conlan would sit in bank with Judge Campbell to try this case, but the two for- mer magistrates declined at the last mo- ment, The defense showed that in all the games prohibited by the laws of the State poker was not mentioned, and that the ordi- nance passed by the Supervisors did not make a pretense to prohibit that game. The ordinance was only passed to regu- late the playing of the game. The main regulation it intended was that it be not played in a barroom. In. the particular case at issue, it was shown by the testimony of the arresting officers that the place where the game was conducted was in a room adjacent to the barroom, and that no minors were per- mitted therein. As the ordinance says that it is unlawful to play poker with minors in a room adjacent to a barroom or other public place, it was evidently the intention of the Supervisors to not place a restriction on anybody but a minor, and not an adult. e Japanese Stabbing Affray, v A Japaneee, who gave the name ot Joe Cook, was walking along Kearny street last m;ht land when he reached Clay street ano! | | order, the *'shop steward” system may be the duties of the walking delegates or business agents. It was deemed advisable that all the trades in the council receive their working cards from the council, and thus insure unifermity. Cards will be issued quar- terly. The matter of business agents was not finally decided. It was the opinion that two or three would have to be con- stantly employed, who will look: after the interests of all the trades in the council.

H. Umbsen. It is probable that the architects who have drafted plans for the new munici- pal building which is to occupy the site | of the old City Hall may have to plan | again, as those who own the lots adjoin- | ing the old hall site havereached an agree- | ment and placed their property in the | hands of G. H. Umbsen with instructions | to dispose of it asa whole to the City for | the sum of $55,000. The old hall occupied almost the entire block surrounded by Kearny, Washington and Merchant streets and Dunbar alley. The remaining portion of the block is occupied by three buildings. The one situated on the corner of Washington and Kearny streets is owned by Amelia Cohn, Abraham Cohn, Caroline A. Simon, Meyer Cohn, Flora Hamburger and Daniel Cohn, and covers 1620.62 square feet. The adjoining build- ing, which is in the center of the block on Washington street, which covers 823.41 square feet, is owned by John A. Schmidt. The third building, covering 1203.75 square feet, is owned by Henry BSchwerin and Theresa Schad. It was the original intention of the Su- i pervisors to purchase this property in or- der that the new building might cover the entire block, but the price asked for the lots by theowners at the time was so ex- orbitant that the project was abandoned. After considerable delay the property- owners have reached the following agree- | ment, which will be submitted to the Su- pervisors: All of the partles being residents of the City and County of San Francisco, State of Califor- nia, and constituting herein'the parties of the first part, and G. H. Umbsén of the same place, the party of the second part. That for and in consideration of services to be rendered and other valuable considerations the parties of the first part hereby employ the an‘. as their sole and ex- clusive agent to sell for them and in their stead that certain above-described real property, situated and being in the City and’ County of San Francisco; and the parties of the first pact agree to convey the said property with & valid title, free of incumbrances, to any purchaser cbtained by the said G, H. Umbsen, the said party of the second part, for the sum of $55,- . or any less sum hereinaiter agreed upon by the said first parties; and the said parties of the first' part hereby authorize the said Umbsen to execute and deliver for them and in their names a contract of sale of said prop- erty at the price agreed upon by them, aud to accept & deposit on account of the saia pur- chase price and to grant such time for the ex- amination of the title thereto as shall be deemed necessary; and if the title to the said real estate is tmperfect and in his judgment cannot be perfected within sixty days after notification thereof to him by any defects therein, we, the parties of the first part, agree that said Umbsen may return said deposit. And it is further agreed by and between the perties hereto, the suid Umbsen believing that he may make the sale of the above-described property to the City and County of San Fran- cisco, the said first parties agree that the said employment and authority shall continue to such a time as the said Umbsen may complete the sale to the City and County of San Fran- eisco; provided, however, that the time al- lowed said Umbsen for the said sale shall not exceed sixty days from the date herewith, and the said parties . of the first part agree’to pay to said Umbsen in the event of “the %ale of the above-described property by said Umbsen or hy any one else, including said parties of the first part, while this contract is in force, the sum of $1375, and an_additional 21 per cent on such a sum as may be in excess ol the said $50,000, as and for his compensation here- under. Said Umbsen shall not receive said commission until the purchase price of said property shall be paid over to the said first parties, Real estate dealers are of the opinion that the price asked for the property by the owners 1s reasonable, and it is proba- | ble that it will be accepted.

THE POOR LOSE A FRIEND, Death of Mrs. Amie Powell Bur- gess, Wife of Doctor O. 0. Burgess. A Lady Well Known for Her Exten. sive Though Unostentatious Works of Charity. The cause of charity has lost a stanch supporter in Mrs. Amie Powell Burgess, wife of Dr. 0. O. Burgess. Four years ago Mrs. Burgess had a severe attack of the grip, from ‘which she never full{ Tecov- ered, the disease r.turning vear by year with additional severity. The weakened condition of the lady’s health left her a ready prey to acute disease, and ten days ago she took to her bed never to rise from it. Her death, whicn was easy and ap- parently free from pain, took place at 3:45 o’clock yesterday morning, her last mo- ments being cheered by the presence of her husband, whom she knew to the last. Mrs. Burgesswas born in New York Oity about sixty years ago, and was a member of the distingulshed Powell family of that city. William H. Powell, the famous artist, was one of her brothers. At the age of 27 years she was united in marriage to Dr. Burgess. The wedding took place in New Yor] Cit{. and was quite an event in the social world of the metropolis. Her life with her husband was a most happy one, save for the fact that their union was not blessed with children. However, the good lady tasted the joys of materni constituting herself a mother to the chil- dren of misfortune and privation. Her charities were not of an ostentatious type, but her name was held in benediction by the poor, who always found in her a friend in need. : Soon after her marriage Mrs. Burgess came with her husband to San Francisco, where she united in membership with the congregation of Grace Church. She soon became identified with the charities under control of that organization and also 1ok aleading part in the work of the Young ‘Women's Christidn Association and other non-sectarian institutions of benevolence. Up to the time of her death she was a vn‘ined memberof the Associated Charities, in the work of which she took a deep and constant interest. : The funeral services, which are io be strictly private, will take place at the Burgess residence on Geary street at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, the Rev.

Don’t come in the afternoon for these items, they will most likely be all gone. Shirt Waists 25c each. We have taken about 20 dozen Ladies’ Shirt'Waists of last sea= son’s styles; goods that were $1.50, $1.25, $1, 75c and 50c each, and put them into one lot for this sale. Some are a little mussed and sociled, but 10c at the laundry will make them good as new again. Some are plain white, others pleated bosoms, some striped, others figured ; variety enough to suit everybody, but everybody won’t get them, only the early callers. Fancy Spring Suitings 25c a yard. The first boom of the new stock, twon cases New Spring Dress Goods in Tans, Grays and Mixed effects, strictly all wool, 38 inches wide, and intended at the lowest, for a 50-cent seller.

They may not be all sold by noon, but what is left will be 50 cents, so come in this morningif you ‘want them at 25ca yard. ‘%@3@%@@\)9&0 M ET & TAYLOR s73: HRK ;.RNERRNQ. Proprietors of The Maze.
