He expects to be able to ride at 118 pounds the coming season. The horses owned by Louis Ezell and John Cochran will be shipped to St. Louis the close of the meeting now in progress. The win of Cadmus on Saturday was so gratifying to Mr. Spreckels that the presi- dent of the new jockey club presented Trainer Galen Brown with $500, and as a |, mark of appreciation for Macklin’s earnest efforts gave the jockey $200 in addition to the regular fee. ~Galen is certainly deserv- ing of great credit for the vastly improved form shown by the game son of Flood since under his charge. The very capabie trainer, Frank{Taylor, left for . J. Baldwin’s Santa Anita ranch yestarday to assume charge of the million- aire’s string of racers, who will be firted for their engagements the coming sea- son by Mr. Taylor. Asa mark of regret, probably at the thought of losing his old iriend and trainer, Major Cook, the 3 to 2 favorite for the fourth event, ran a race that would do credit to"a lobster of the first water. It is said B. C. Holly is now traiming the gelding. If the judges had called for the bookmakers’ sheets and let | the public know “how it happened,” the eople who backed the sprinter would have had a great burden lifted from their minds. PREPARING FOR BONDS, First Official Step Taken to This End on Behalf of the Valley Road. A Special Meeting Called for June 16, to Consider an Issue of $6,000,000 Worth. In the notice issued to the stockholders of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway yesterday to attend a meeting on June 16 next, the first official step was taken that will in all probability lead to the issuance of $6,000,000 worth of bonds to raise the money necessary to complete the construction ot the road from this City to Bakersfield. At a joint meeting heid last Tuesday be- tween the directors and trustees of the company a sub-committee was appointed to devise the best plan for raising this amount of money. This committee wa to report to the directors and trustees in joint session, who were then to decide whether or not to present the matter for- mally to the notice and consideration of the stockholders. No meeting of this committee has yet been held, and no definite plan has there- fore been yet decided upon to present to the stockholders. As the statute, however, requi res a sixty d. notice to the stock- hold ers when it is intended to issue bonds, the following was make public yesterday: Notice is hereby given, by orderof the board of directors of the San Franeisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company, that a meeting of the stockholders of said ‘company Das been called by said board, to be held on Tuesday, the 16th day of June, 1896, at 3 o'clock 1n the afternoon, at the principal place of business of said compeny, at the building where the said board of directors usually meets, nam t the office of said company, No. 321 Market street, in the City and County of San Francisco, in the State of California; thatthe object of 'said meeting is to consider and act upon the proposition that said com- pany create a bonded indebtedness of six mil- ion dollars ($6,000,000) in gold coin of the United Stales for the purpose of reising money to complete the con- struction ~and equipment ot the rail- rord of this corporation from the City and County of San Francisco to the town of Bakers- field, in the county of Kern, State of Califor- nia, and to purchase and pay for any other property within the purposes of said company, and to secure the bonded indebtedness so pro- posed to be created by s mortgage or trust | deed upon the railroad and railroad lines and other property of said company now owned or | hereaiter to be acquired by said company.

As previously stated in these columns, this §6,000,000 is to be used for building the | sections between San Francisco and Stock- | ton and between Fresno and Bakerstield. The former, it is estimated, will cost | $2,500,000 and the latter $3,500,000. The Stockton-Bakersfield link, it is understood, is to be given the preference when the new construction work begins. Only six assessments, of 10 per cent each, have been made on the §2,500,000 stock issued, and the remaining 40 per cent will be sufficient to complete the work on the Stockton-Fresno section. year-olds and up; purse $400. 1012.

How the Betting Runs. ! The Olympic Club has at last decided upon a series of professional boxing con- |Cyclone-Wanza Kelpie-Unknown Spinning-Fannie Hunt Sampson-Unknown St, Saviour-Nighthawk tests for its May exhibition at the Pavilion, which should give universal satisfaction. The amateur programme has been omitted, and the following professional boxers will appear in short bouts: Dal Hawkins and J. McGinley will meet in a six-round contest. They will be followed by George Green and O. Ziegler in a ten- round contest, and as a fitting termination to what promises to be a first-class even- ing’s entertainment the well-known heavy- weight boxers, Professor Van Buskirk of the Olympic Club and Professor John Mil- ler of the San FranciscofAthletic Club will meet in & six-round bout, which gives every promise of being a rattling set-to. The betting on_the Choynski-Sharkey contest, which will take place Thursday evening at the People’s Palace Theater, has commenced. Notwithstanding that a number of old sports predicted a walkover for Choynski the betting shows that Shar- key is well up in the race. Choynski is a favorite, but the friends of Sharkey have been snapping up all even bets offered that Choynski will knock him out inside of eight rounds. If the seaman can remain on deck until the end of the fourth round he wili stand an excellent chance of re- taining his senses when the gong will sound the end of the mill. SOCIALIST SINGERS. Disbanded Irish-Americans Invited to Join Liberty Branch. ‘What promises to be an auxiliary of the Socialist Labor party was organized at the Socialist Temple, 115 Turk street, Sun- day afternoon. More than 150 members of the various branches met to formulate plans for the formation of a socialist singing section similar to the song vereins or manner- chorsin existence in the East and Europe, Officers were elected and an advertising and printing committee appointed to pub- lish and distribute at Jeast 5000 copies of a socialist campaign songbook. Professor Seiler, enry Warnecke, Theodore Lynch, L. Edlin, W. M. Lewis and Leon Gasser addressed the new or- ganization, whose officers are 8. Seiler, in- structor; H.

Results of the Stake at the Ocean View and Newark Parks Yesterday. Two interesting coursing meetings were held Sunday, one at Ocean View and the other at Newark. At the former resort two stakes were run to a finish, Cottage Boy winning the regular stake after a short run with Magpie, in which the latter lost by the veriest fluke after overshooting his hare by several yards. Lucky Dog took third and Ben fourth. The consolation went to Captain Morse, who beat Electric handily in the final. At Newark, the meeting of the Interstate Coursing Club brought out a large crowd. Flying Buck won the first prize, San Joaquin the second and Nellie Conrcy the third. The grass was rather long for good coursing, but the crowd had an enjoyable day. X twenty-four-dog stake at $1 50 entrance will be decided at Ocean View on Sunday next. —————— It Was Dynamite. Baji Marini is a scavenger living at 15 Boardman place. Yesterday afternoon he found a sharp-pointed stick with a brass end in a heap of refuse and he thought he would use it to make a hole in the handle of a fork. He struck it with a hammer and a terrible ex- plosion followed. It wasa stick of dynamite and arini’s right hand was badly shattered N\ S5 William Larabee, the Distinguished ex-Governor of Iowa, Who Is Here With His Family. [Sketched from life by a “Call’ artist.] his family met many of their oid Towa in Southern California, among them ex-Governor Merrill, who lives at Los Angeles. Colonel John P. Irish was among the early callers on the Governor yesterday. They were great friends in Iowa, though they were of different political parties, and the Colonel called to pay his respects. Mr. Larabee was the last Republican Governor before Horace Boies. He has for many years been a very influential man. He is of the belief that United States Senator W, B. Allison of Iowa is the best man that has thusgfar been named for the Republican nomination for Presi- dent. “I understand there are a good many McKinley men in California,” said he, ‘‘but we think we have a man who is in every way an excellent one for the high office, and we are sincerely desirous of his nomination. “In Iowa everybody is for him; that is, all the Republicans are. Indeed, most of the Democrats are, too, and he would poll many a vote outside of his party. “We are in favor of Senator Allison be- cause of his long experience, sound Re- ublicanism and general conservatism. e would, in my judgment, be a safe, pro- gressive man, and would reflect honor on the nomination. He is something of a bimetallist, I believe, and was a member of the commission a few years ago. ‘‘He has been a resident of the State for forty years and has been thoroughly tried. As [ said before, the people there” are all for him. “No, we really, I think, don’t know what hard times are in Jowa. ‘I'he people there are going along quietly and prosper- ously. There have been big yields of corn and other crops and there “is nothing to complain of in any way.” Governor Larabee was in California for a short time four years ago. He will go north by the Shasta route and then home by the Canadian Pacific. En route he will stop brietly at Ashland, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Fairhaven, Victoria and Vancouver. The gentleman is of medium bheight, heavily built and with strong features. His hair is almost black and he ngwars to be about 50 years of age. He and his family are enjoying themselyes 1n the highest Calitornia trip. MISSION ENCHANTMENTS. Memorial Park, High School, Electric Roads and Beautiful Boulevards. In casting about for an appropriate name for the pleasure ground which will add to the enchantments of the Mission that of Memorial Park has been suggested. Mis- sion prospects are brightening. The High School, the park and the boulevards are assured. While Dolores-street boulevard is merely prospective Folsom-street boulevard is an assured fact, as work has already begun on that thoroughfare. President T. W. McDonald of the City Improvement Com- pany has put a gang of men to work in re- moving the cobble-stones in the two blocks between Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets. This is all that McDonald’s men can do until the Market-street Railroad people put down the electric track, which they propose to do at once, much to the gratifi- cation of A. B.

PUDLADONS STILL OPE The Recent Wallace Decision Had but a Temporary Effect. C. J. O'Donnell Had His Cases Dis- missed, Although Flagrantly Defying the Law. Some of the poolrooms do not seem at all abashed by the recent decision of Judge Wallace and are selling pools at their old stands as openly as ever. At the time that the case of Jerry Dris- coll was in Judgze Wallace's court C.J. O’Donneil, Henry Schwartz, Harry Cor- bett, Charles Kingsley and about twenty others were arrested for violating the El- lert ordinance. They all pleaded guilty and their cases went over until the deci- sion in the Driscoll case was rendered on the understanding that if the conviction was sustained they would close their rooms and a light fine would be imposed. When the decision was handed down most of the poolroom men retired from busi- ness and Henry Corbett, Charles Kingsley, Jerry Driscoll and others on April 4 ap- peared before Judge Joachimsen and a fine of $5 was imposed upon them. C. J. O'Donnell had two charges against him and his cases were continued till April 10, as he had not gone out of the business, although he was one of those who pleaded guilty and undertook to close his rooms if the Wallace decision was adverse to the poolroom men. On April 10 he was ordered to appear for sentence next day, when, to the amaze- ment of the poolroom men, the cases against O'Donnell were dismissed. In view of the fact that O'Donnell is and has been conducting a pool business in his rooms on Leidesdorif street, and thus openly defying the law, the action of the Judge in dismissing the cases against him is peculiar and has caused a good deal of unfavorable comment. A few days ago Judge Low convicted several poolrocm men, who had been sending the money by the Postal Tele- graph Company to San Jose, in order to evade liability under the ordinance, but they were only fined $20 each. The full enalty will probably be inflicted, as a Bgm fine of $20 has been shown to have no effect upon the poolroom men who per- sist in violating the law. . e o Fought for the Balloon, Seven belligerent residents of the Mission with an eye to business took possession of the balloon that fell near Sixteenth street Sun- day alternoon and started with it for the park, threatening to exterminate the three luckless men that had been hired by the aeronaut to recover his property after his parachute leap. ‘With stones and clubs they defended their capture, and a policeman who interfered soon acknowledged his helplessness and left the discomfited three to follow at a safe distance all the way to the chutes. The men feiled to get their expected reward, and went away vowing that the next time that balloon falls in the Mission they will make it useless even for patchwork. Some parents, eager to see the conclusion of the log - rolling contest in the afternoon, rushed from their seats in the pavilion, leav- ing their infant and unfinished glasses on a table, with the result that there was almost immediately thereaiter more excitementon the floor than on the little lake, for the child overturned the tabl —————————— In 1874 a church mission was established for the benefit of the deaf mutes of the United States. NO LAW FOR LOTTERIES, Supreme Court Decision Lets the Evil Thrive in San Francisco, NO CRIME TO HAVE TICKETS. So Chinese Lotteries Are Booming All Over Town—Some Faulty Ordinances. Chinese lotteries are now running in San Francisco on a more extended scale than ever before, and agents for the gam- bling concerns are plying their trade openly without fear of police or courts. Such a radical change has been brought | about by a recent decision of the Supreme Court of California under which it is now no crime to be causht with lottery tickets in one’s possession. Lottery ticket agents and dealers may carry on their business as if it were a legitimate branch of trade, and there is no law to punish them. A test case was made in Los Angeles by the attorneys of Ah Ling, a Chinese, ar- rested for an alleged violation of the lot- tery ordinange. Ah Ling bad been an agent for Chinese lotteries and when the volice arrested him he had several tickets in his spacious pockets, He was tried and convicted. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of California with the re- sult the defendant was acquitted. A clause in the ordinance which read, “Un- less said possession shall be shown to be innocent or for a lawful purpose,” settled the question. According to t he ordinance it was a clear case of placing the burden of proof on the defendant, and that of conrse was contrary to all principles of law and jus- tice. The San Francisco lottery ordinance is the same as the Los Angeles one, and has the same identical clause at the end. So the decision has been quoted in the Jocal Police courts with the effect of compelling prosecuting officers to dismiss Chinese ac- cused of having lottery tickets in their pos- session. The Chinese were not slow to take advantage of the situation, for they are already opening lotteries and pushing the sale of tickets in every conceivable part of the City. No place, it seems, is secure from the importunities of those agents. Even the home is invaded, and schools, while no business house, office or store is forgotten. John 7T. Dare, prosecuting attorney of Police Court 3, declares that there can be no remedy for the knocked-out ordl- nance until the Legislature meets. Mean- while the evil is destined to spread and thrive in all grades of society where the spirit of gambling exists. ““We are compelled to dismiss Chinese charged with having lottery tickets,” he said. ‘““We have to show that the man was actually caught making the tickets or articipating in a lottery before one can Eope for a conviction. Hence the bold- ness of the Chinese. The Chinese lotteries are multiplying daily and their agents are bolder than ever. These fellows are now extending their operations to private families. Chinese vegetable and fancy- goods peddlers find access to the houses and sell tickets to the servant girls and children. Many barber-shops have the tickets on sale and then again Chinese servants, attendents in bathhouses and laundrymen are agents. ““A great many people are selling lottery tickets, both of the Chinese and American class. Itiscommon now fora woman to visit your house and canvass for a book. After a short conversation she will inci- dentally speak about lotteries and then use her persuasive powers to sell tickets. The hazard spirit avpears to be growing fast in San Francisco, and the rising gen- eration is being educated up to it on all sides, while al? manner of obstacles are thrown in the way to defeat the ends of justice.” ““Can you suggest a remedy ?” “Idon’t think we can do anything till the Legislature meets. The Board of Supervisors cannot make an ordinance any stronger than the one we have. This clause nullifies it.. The police are doing everything in their power to stop the trai- fic, but it seems utterly impossible to con- vict a Chinese. “Tue criminal element is taking ad- vantage of this Supreme Court decision on this clauss of the lottery ordinance to make it apply to the ordinances relating to carrying burglar tools and concealed weapons. The same clause appears in each ordinance, so that the claim is made that a man cannot be convicted of carry- ing burglar’s tools. The burden of proof according to the ordinance would rest on bhim. The same applies to the charge of carrying concealed weapons. A test case may be made to try if the Supreme Court will not look upon these ordinances as it hasidone with the lottery ordinance.” GOT DRUNK TOGETHER. Keeper Bury of the Agnews Asylum and an Inmate Have a Good Time in the City. J. M. Bury, one of the keepers at the Agnews Insane Asylum, came to the city on Saturcay night with Frank L. Fiffer, one of the inmates. Fiffer had been al- lowed to pay a visit to his friends, who live at Black Point. About 11:30 o’clock Saturday night Fiffer was_arrested 1n a saloon on Pacific street by Policeman Cavanagh and Special Officer . Sullivan. He was very drunk, and his face was bleeding from several cuts. Bury was with him and accompanied him to the California-street police station. He was not sober, and his mouth was bleeding. ‘When he said he was an official at the insane asylum and that Fiffer was one of the inmates the officers at the station did not believe him, and threatened to lock him up unless he left, which he did. ‘When Fiffer, who had been taken to the City Prison, awoke Sunday morning he complained that he had been robbed on Saturday night of his watch and chain. He said he and Bury had a good time, and the only thing he regretted was losing his watch. Sunday afternoon Bury calied at the City Prison, and Captain” Lees gave nhim permission to take Fiffer away with him, TO BROADEN SOCIALISM. Morrison T. Swift Points the Way to Establish One Great Party. Morrison I. Swift of Berkeley lecturea to the local socialists Sunday night at 26 OrFarrell street. He blamed the socialists for the narrow inefficiency of their past policy in abusing those that have not seen the fairness and broadness of socialism. He urged that no party should be forced to assume the de- fensive because of attacks, but that social- ists should go to the different parties and explain socalism to them and encourage the thoughtful, 'who would of necessity fie convinced of the merits of the principles; to unite in forming a broad socialist party, that, the lecturer predicts, will start with the present socialists unattached to any party, be strengthened by the socialisti- cally inclined of the Labor party and of the People’s party, and, after absorbing the minor parties, be ready to include the Republicans and Democrats, two politics that he declares are doomed to_break, as was the case in England, on the capital and labor questions. Socialism should not be a class move- ment and dissipate its strength. It can- not be identified with any organization or or with many organizations; it is for man, NEW TO-DAY.
