THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1896. CLASH ON PALD ALTO'S GRIDIRON Stanford’s Football Meet the Reliance Team. Men NEITHER SIDE SCORES, Short and Sharp Play Which Tries the Candidates’ Ability. FUMBLING BY THE VARSITY. Initial Work of the New Material That Is to Form the First Eleven. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL, Sept. 2. nford to-day played her first prac- tice came of football with an outside team, tlie Reliance of Oakiand, and while the Rame wasnot a match, great interest was taken in it by the students, as it gave an idea of what the team could do when op- vosed to a first-class eleven. The halfs were short and sharp and the utmost good “humor prevailed throushout the contest. Men were irequently changed by both sidesin order to give all the candidates opportunity for improvement. The Staniord men made a good show- ing, but fumbled badly at critical times during the first half. Oliver’s kickoff car- ried the ball so far into Stanford terri- tory that the ground was never regained until time was called for the first nalf. The score ended 0—0. For Stanford, Fickert did good work at guard, and but slight gain was made throu:n him. He also distinguished him- self by several good tackies. Madden and McGlivray as ends made several pretty plays. Madden tackled finely and McGil- vray made good gain when given the ball, Both Dole and Fisher played well at half, but the latter is greatly inclined to run back with the ball instead of keeping in. Tuis resulted in his being tackled behind the line on two occasions. Dole made some pretty end runs. Seawright also did good work at half for a new man. For Reliance, Walton, Oliver and Arlett did the best work. The bucking of Wal- ton was fine, and the Reliance team worked together even better than the Staaford players. The first line-up of the team was as fol- lows: Stantord. Position. Reliance, Arlett . Parke Lacuna Walton } B—mEa—L{ } L—Halt-R { .} Fouvacke{ .. At 3:15 P. M. the signal for putting the ball into play was given, and Oliver kicked off for the Reliance for twenty yards. Fickert re- gaine ee yards when downed by Oliver. The Stanford men fumbled the ball on a pass, as they did at many points in the game When it meant a loss. Fisher made & yard through the line and Freeman was forced to punt for fiteen yards. Reliance's ball—Walton made a magnificent plunge through the Line for four yards; Arlett made two and an offside gave ten yards to the Oaklanders. In successive plunges against the line, chiefly by Walion, the Reliance made six and the ball went to Stanford. vford’s ball—Fisher shot into the Reli- ; & buck at the line 5 in was followed by a twelve-yard end run by Dole, and Fisher added eight more around the other end. The ball went to the Rel‘ancc on -downs after another short gain by Dole. Reliance’s ball—Walton was given the ball, but the diminutive Stanford quarter was through the line so s0on &s to prevent any gain. Oliver suffered a like fate at Fickert's hands. Arlett punted but for ten yards, and a Reliance teckic fell on the ball. Walton was agein tackled behind the line, and Lacuna made no gain. Arlett puntea once more, and again the Oaklanders fell on the ball. Downs id no gain gave Stanford the pigskin. Stanford’s ball—Dole with good interference made an eighteen-yard run around the Reli- nd, but bucking was in vain, and Reli- k the ball. Reliance’s ball—Walton and Lacuns made long gains in two trials, but the Stanford line pulled together and held its opponents to & standstill on three downs and ook the sphere. Stanford’s ball—Dole made a six-yard end rua and Freeman made & pretty four-yard plunge, but fumbled the ball and Reliance 100k possession of it. Reliance’s bali—A buck resulting in no gain and an offside play by the Stanford quarter gave Reliance ten vards. Walton struck for five and Arlett made two yards; no gain by tackle play and but a short gain by Walton let Stanford in again. Stanford’s bell—Dole sprinted around the * Reliance end for. four yards when time was cailed for the first half, Second hali—Several new players went in at the beginning of the second half on both eley- ens and during the last five or ten minutes of play Reliance played twelve men, which made things lively for the Stanford line. Stanford’s ball—Carle kicked off for forty-five yards and Frick ran the pall back some twenty yards before being stopped. The ball was passed the active haif for a run, but McGilyray was on him &t once and he fumbled the ball, which MeGiivray mansged to capture. Stanford’s ball—Diggles was passed the ball and succeeded in traversing some fifteen yards * before being captured. lmmediately after- ward Seawright found a hole in the Keliance line and dashed through for six yards. An- other try by Diggles resulted in no gain and Seawright was tackled three yards behind the line, * Reliance’s ball—Bucking tactics were next tried by the men from the bay and they piled up eight yards before Stanford brought them 10 & stop and held the ball. Stanford’s ball—Diggles negotiated a three- yard gain and Seawright four more. Fickert made four and Seawright incressed it two more. McGilyray made a pretty end run, but Lenagan’s try was & fizzle and Reliance took the ball. Reliance’s ball—The inflated sphere was now close to the Oaklander's goul-line, and a kick was tried, resulting in twenty yards gain, Diggles partly recovering the lost ground. Stanford’s ball—Lanagen punted, but it was a1 once returned by Lacune, and a loss of ten yards resulted. Fickert fell on the ball Lanagan again punted twenty yards. Reliance’s ball—Buck and no gan. Frick bucked for twelve yards in two tries, and Arlett found a hole in the Stanford line for four more. The same player added on many more & moment later. Stanford took the bail in successive downs, aud time was called be- fore she put it in play. Score, Fatal Fall at Vallejo. VALLEJO, Car., Sept. 26.—John Cur- ran, formerly employed in the San Fran. cisco Mint and later on the police force, and Whose brother, Patrick Curran, is foreman of engine company 4 at San Francisco, while sitting on an jron railing ieading down to the base- ment of Lynch’s store, at the cor- ner of Georgia and BSacramento streets, to-day lost his balance and fell packward, striking ten feet below on the stone steps. His neck was broken. Curran has been bere a short time, ex- cting to get work in the navy-yard asa z:iler-mlker. L e . TEE King of Pill’s is Beecham’s—BEECHAM'S: WILLIAM M. MOORE, THE NAPA MURDERER.

Rancher Lynch Recognizes in the Prisoner a Workman Once in His Employ. NAPA, Car., Sept. 26.—William Moore, the man arrested for the murder of Mrs. Greenwood in 1891, is in somewhat better form to-day. Yesterday he talked freely with visitors. He recognized W. R. Cooper, for whom he worked thirteen years ago. He was taken into the Sheriff’s office, where he was told by District At- torney Bell what his legal rights were. A statement was then made by bim in the presence of witnesses and taken down by the court reporter, Brownlee, Many persons called at the jail to-day trying to get a glimpse of the prisoner. P. Lynch, for whom Moore at one time worked, was in Napa this morning and was taken over to the jail by Sheriff Mc- Kenzie, to see if he would recognize the man charged with the murder of Mrs. Greenwood. Assoon as Lynch came near the cell and before he had an opportunity to say a word Moore spoke to Lynch, calling him by name. Lynch fully identified Moore, and is very positive in his statement. Lynch has a ranch near the Greenwood | piace, and in October of 1880 he hired | Moore to work for him. | Moore continued to work for Lynch | until the latter part of January, 1881. Moore then left his emplov, saying that Lynch could probably get another man, as help was plenty. From_ that date to | this Lynch had not seen Moore, but he had no hesitation in saying: *That is Moore.” | Some of the stories told by Moore were | corroborated by Lynch. John Bush, who worked with Mcore for Lynch, was_also taken to the jail this morning. He is positive.in saying that the prisoner was none other than William | Moore. Moore was arraigned before Justice Brad- ford this afternoon. A large crowd gath- ered in the courtroom, but the prisoner | appeared theleast concerned of all present. | He gave his name as William M. Rowe. ‘When asked how he spelled his last name he said: “Rowe or Roe, either way, ac- cording to whether I am in a hurry or¥ not.” He appeared the hardened criminal as | he joked with those about him, for he | seemed totally indifferent to the grave | charge that had been placed against him. | His examination was set for next Tuesday | morning. e WORK OF IHL CONFERENCE, Church Questions Passed Upon by Sowuth- ern California Methodists. LOS ANGELES, Carn., Sept. 26.—The forenoon session of the Methodist Episco- pal conference here was without special incident or importance beyond the admis- sion of certain young men to seats in the body. Rev. E. J. Inwood opened the session with devotional services. The question of forming a funa for the aid of superannu- ated ministers was introduced. Rev, E. A, Healey ot Ontario asked that the members of the conference pay half of 1 per cent of their salaries to the fund. W. 8. Mathews, editor of the California Christian Advocate, made an eloquent ap- peal for the support of his paper. Rev. John Thompson, the coast agent for the American Bible Society, followed with a request for help for hisdepart- ment. The conference then went into ex- utive session. QcOne year ago Lincoln H. Caswell and James R. Ross, students in the University of Southern California, were admitted as members of the conference on trial and were allowed to continue with their studies. The rule has been that appllcants have to wait two years on trial before being ad- mitted as deacons, and two years more before being made elders. The gentlemen completed the two years’ course of study in one year, and they asked that they be allowed credit for the time so gained. The conference refused to admit them, but Caswell and George W. Miller had been examined for four years’ work by the local deacons and ordained as deacons, Caswell having made a general average of 95 per cent. On this showing the confer- ence decided to allow them in the confer- ence under the local rule. The others who are to be ordained to- morrow as deacons are John Nicholson, ‘W. 8. Green and W. L. Hiller, who will be ordained in full connection, The missionary society occupied the afternoon session With its conference pro- gramme. After singing, L. M. Hartley read the scripture lesson and prayer was offered by Mrs. M. Hilbish. A duet was sung by Miss Flora Bnlllnser and C. A. Smith, after which E. N. Caswell, the correspond- ing secretary, made her report. Two Chinese women, Mrs. Chang Sui Sing and Mrs. Chung Kam, sang some hymns. Mrs. O. F. Brown read a paper, and Miss Winifred Spaulding, superin- tendent of the Deaconesses’ Home, deliv- ered an eloquent and able address. Miss C. G. Day told ot frontier work.

Mr. Stevenson, who is 72 years of age, has seen fifty years of active service in the work. He was born in Philadelphia in 1824, and resided for some years_upon a farm, the family removing to Indiana. He then entered the ministry. He received his right to enter the con- ference in Indiana in 1846 and was given the New Lebanon circuit as his first charge. He remained in this capacity for a year and then was transferred to a post at Spencer, Indiana, where he remained for two years, Sincs then he has been transferred to all parts of the country, having in all had charge of twenty-four different churches. He passed thirty years in Illinois, seven in Kansas, four in Indiana and nine in thie State, five of which were spent in Monrovia ana the remaining four at Santa Monica, his present charge. — e SCHRADER EXPOSED. The So-Called Divine Healer Declarea to Be a Humbug. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 26.—The so- called healer claiming the name of Schra- der, who made hisadvent into Los Angeles a few days ago, has been exposed by the local press as a very cheap imitation of a fraud and humbug. It seems that this fcllow is traveling on reputation made by the famous rations mn Denver at- tractea widespread attention about a year ago. Schlatter was known to have wan- dered away from Denver and the last newspaper accounts of him left him 1n Ari- zona or New Mexico. ‘When Schrader reached thiscity he,with a great flourish, announced himself from Albuquerque, N.

County Treasurer Jackson’s Shortage Found to Exceed Twenty-Six Thou- sand Dollars. REDDING, CaL., Sept. 26.—There is an angry lot of bondsmen in Redding to- night. In fact, there has been an angry lot ever since it was first rumored that County Treasurer Jackson was short in his accounts. To-night the Jbondsmen know exaclty what the defaulting Treas- erer has appropriated to his own use. This morning four of the principal bondsme n—Henry Clineschmidt, Thomas Macdoug ald, H. N. Wilkinson and E. A Reid—together with expert Hare, District Attorney Rose and eputy ‘I'reasurer B ush, opened the vaultsof the Treasurer’s office and for the first time since the fact of the shortage leaked out was the money handled. Last night the expert finished his labors and his report showed there shouid be in the treasury $48,094 19. To-day the money was counted, and the actual amount in the vaults was $21,515 10. ‘When this result was known there was a general outburst of profanity and indigna- tion on the part of the bondsmen. The count showed a deficiency of $26,569 09. Deducting from this $4784 35, the amount Jackson replaced yesterday, the treasury is short just $21,787 47. The money on hand i now in safekeep- ing with the newly appointed deputy treasurer and locked in the vaults o? the Bank of Shasta County. Jackson will handle no more county funds. The bonds- men are now of the opinion that they will be compeiled to go down into their pockets and make good the deficiercy. No word has been received from the defaulting Treasurer’s brother, who, it was expected, would make good the shortage, and it is presumed that he will let the law take its course. Next Monday the Board uof Supervisors will meet, and it is snfzposad it will insti- tute proceedings against Jackson. Jack- son’s defalcation has caused considerable uneasiness among other office-holders of this county, who expect their bondsmen to withdraw. In fact one or two have already suffered in thet respect. One of the bondsmen who is a victim of Jackson’s betrayal of confidence has already withdrawn from the bonds of three officials, and more are likely to follow. The universal expression is, “If we couldn’t trust ‘Eill’ Jackson ‘whom can we trust?” The Supervisors will appoint Jackson’s successor next Monday. PETALUMANS ENTERTAINED, Second Social Given by the Ladies of the Improvement Club. PETALUMA, Can, Sept. 27.—In fur- therance of their plans for beautifying the city the progressive and energetic iadies of the Improvement Club last even- ing gave the second entertainment of the series pianned to raise the necessary funds for the good work 1n hand. The affair consisted of dramatic and musical numbers, and booths of every de- scription were arranged to entice the de- sired coin into the club’s treasury. Asall Petalumans are interested in ghe cause, the event proved a most successful one and reflected most creditably on the busi- ness management of the members. T Shasta County Mine to Close.

THE DALLES, Oz, Sept. 26.—James Lander, a wealthy bachelor living near this city, has just paid for s costly experi- ence with a young woman through a mat- rimonial agency at Portiand. Lander wanted a wife. He advertised for his ideal and the young lady, who an- swerec as Miss Charlotte Wintin from S8an Francisco, filled the bill exactly. She wrote that she would go to Portland on a long visit to relatives, and if every- thing was satisfactory upon their meetin, she wouid not return to the Bay City. Miss Wintin went to Portland. Lander urged her to come to The Dalles, which she did, arriving here on Friday a week ago. ngs. Lander-to-be was delighted. So was Lander, for she was a beauty and The Dalles was upset by her presence. She staid at a hotel for a week and every day he took her out driving. She contracted bills at a half-dozen es- tablishments in Lander’s name, and to show how excellent were her tastes one millinery establishment had a claim for . The dashing lady was apparertly getting ready for her wedding. On Friday morning at 4:30 o’clock the alleged Miss Wintin boarded the Portland train. She did notsay anything about her hotel bill and she has not been seen since. Her other bills have all come in. They foot up just a round $600. In addition there is a $200 diamond ring as a present and some $200 cash, with which Lander intended his bride should buy her trous- seau. SEdTLGE oy Fusion Effected in Missouri. ST.
