RESTRAINED OF AER LIBERTY Velma Newsome Placed in the Girls’ Training School Detective Ryan of the Police Department Finds a Miss- ing Girl, Peculiar Story of a Ohild Who Says She Is Restrained Against Her Will, Yesterday morning the Police Depart- ment was notified thet a young girl named Velma Newsome, who resided at 5174 Na- toma street with her mother and step- father, was missing. Detective T. L. Ryan was detailed by Captain Spillane to inves- tigate the case and last evening he suc- ceeded in locating the giri at the Califor- nia Girls’ Training School, at 147 Natoma street. The girl and her mother have been working at Code & Elfelt's cannery on | Tenth street, near Bryant, and the girl is 15 y ears of age. ‘I'ne story told by her to the detectives is a peculiar one, and does nov reflect credit upon the officers of tne Eur ka Scciety for the Suppression of Vice. She says that Saturday afrernoon two men came to the cannery and toid Ler they were officers and thal she must g wita them to court, She says they displayed a badge and also told her that her mother would be there. Thinkingeverything was all right, she accompanied them, and was taken to tue office of the society in the Donotue building, where she was asked questions which she claims were very in- Then she was taken to the train- ing school on Natoma street, where the deteciive found her. He says that Mrs. Burt, the superin- tendent, at first refused to allow nim to see the girl, but on his demand as an offi- cer 1o be allowed to communicate with her he was conducted into her presence. He asked the girl if she was restrained against her will and she said thatshe was, whe reupon he says Mrs. Eurt told her to stop ner talking. The detective also savs that the lady informed him that the offi- cers of the Eureka Society had a pe:fect right to bring gir.s 1o the school without a warrant, consulting the police, the child’s parents or any one else. He re- poried the matter to Chief Lees, who in- tends making a thorough invesugation of the case. The girl's father also intends securing an attorney to-day and wil! have legal proceedings for her rele.se insti- wted. Mrs. Hackett, the girl’s mother, claims that no notice of her daughter’s detention was sent her, and that she and her hus- band searched nearly all of Saturday night for the chila. She also claims that Secretary Holbrook calied at her house on | Saturday moraing and asked her some questions touching the le:ality of her marriage, which she deemed a piece of im- pertinence on that officer’s part. . Miss Newsome is & pretty, bright-appear- ing girl, just mergin: into womanuood, and is highly spoken of by ber neighbors and compuanions, who prai e her modesty and devotion to her parents, The father ciaims there 1s no reason for laking her from them, and charac erizes the affai1 as an outrage. Mr. Holbrook, secretary of the Eureka Society, could not be found yesierday, and a vigorous thumping of the bell at the training-school brought no response. The girl also says that she is not com- pelled to work 1n the cannery, but that she secured the position without her pa- rents’ knowledge through her desire to help them during her father’s sickness.

THE NEW ASSOCIATION ACTN. Attempts to Remedy the Defects of the Existing Organi- zation, COMM'NTS BY [L/CAL ATHiBTES. John Elliott Says That the New Plan Is Good Enough, but Im- practicable, The Amateur Athletic Association of the Pacific States, recently organized,with the O.ympic. Acme and Fresno clubs as charter members, has adopted a constitu- tion raising the standard of amateurism and defining very strictly who are ama- teurs. The new association differs prin- cipally from the Pucific Association in two essentizl particulars: the definition of an amateur and the representation of athletic organizations in the association. At present all athletic organizations are equally repressnted in the association, and a club with a score of members and de- voted to but one particular brand of ath- letics has powers equal to those of a uni- versity or a club many times as large and encouraging athletics of every kind. The new coustitution substitutas a different basis of representation by compelling clubs devoted to a special branch of ath- letics (boating, swimming and ihe like), to form an association or sub-asociation, this association to enter the main associa- tion on an equal footing with universities or general athletic clubs. Boxing and wrestling clubs are excluded from the association on the ground that to enforce strict amateurism, at which the new association aims, in such clubs, is practically impo-sible. Judee William P. Lawlor of the Olym- pic Clubis the president of the new asso- ciation, and J. P..Cook of the Acme Club is secretary. Judge Lawlor, speaking of the new organization, said last night: “We have endeavored to raise the amuteur standard, and to that end we have adopted a definition of an amateur stricter than any ever made hitherto. While the universi:ies, for certain con- siderations of self-interest, have not yet withdrawn from the old association, they are in sympathy with our effort to estab- ligh a higher amateur standard. “Among the clubs of the new associa- tion are those who have formerly offended most seriously the amateur rules. But the O'ympic Club, as well as the others, realizes that its only hope liesin an em- pnatic insistence on strict amateurism in the future.’” The new constitution, except in the re- spects above noted, resembles closely that of the oid association. It provides for general jurisdiction over ail kinds of ath- letic sport. Among 1ts purposes are ‘'to provide and enforce discipline in keeping with the strict needs of amateur athletic sport,” anc ‘‘to institute, regulate and award all amateur championshins of this association.” The territorial jurisdiction of the association is to extend over Cali- Utah and Arizona. Membership in the association is limited to amateur organizations of notle s than tifty members, operaied for the advance- ment of general athletics, and amateur athletic as-ociations of not less than two clubs, each hav ng at least twenty mem- bers, maintaived for the development of any one of the following branches of amateur athictics: Rowing, swimming, bicycling, court-tennis, handball, cricket, golf, boating, cross-country running, lawn tennis, basebzll, football, fencing and lacro:se, The main association, through its board of governors, is ‘the sole judge of the qualifications of applicants for admission. Following are some of the strictest ualifications which the new constitution emands of amateur athletes: DEFINITION OF AN AMATEUR. Section 1. An amnteur athicte is one who has never received nor competed for a stake, adm ssien or gate money, entrance fee or other compensation in any form for. Personal services of any kind rendered to any athletic organization, or Services of an athletic character rendered to any individual, One who has never taught, pursued or as- sisted in the pursuit of athletic exercises for pecuniary gain. One who has never become or continued & member of any athletic organization in con- sideration of the waiver of the usual initiation fee, customary dues or other charges or in consideration of any advantage to which each member of such organization would not be ‘entitied by virtue of his membership. One who has not entered into competi tion under a name other than his own or from a ciubof which he was not a member in good standing. One who does not abandon nor neglect his usual business or occupation for the purpose of engaging in athletic training or pursuing athietics in any form. One who pursues athletics solely for the purposes of health, recreation and sport, and distinet from any other kind of advantage. One who has never pawned, bartered or s0ld, or otherwise disposed of for a valuable consideration, any prize, emblem or token re- ceived in any athletic competition, perform- ance or event. John Elliott, the acting presideat of the Pacific Association, expressed his opinion of the wuew organization quite freely. “These new rules are very goud,” he said, *‘but the formation of a new association 1s entirely impracticable. The universities will not think of joining it, tor if they did they would not be allowed to compete with any but members of the association and conseq iently would have to give up any idea o1 Eastern trips. “The new association has no standin - and cannot have any. It is significant that of the three clubs which compose 1t two were expelled from the old associa- tion and the third withdrew from it. These ciubs could not or did not live np to the amateur rules of the old association, and yet they are proposing now to e«tab- lish rules still more strict. I have no he: tation in saying that the amuteur stand- ing of the old Pacific Association was never better than it is now. In the words of Caspar Whitney ‘the vicious elemeut has veen removed.’ F. Humphsey, ex-president of the Pacitic Association, expressed a somewhat similar opinion. *Some of the men in the new association are in earnest,” he said, ‘but they nave no material to work on. If they would come into the existing asso- ciation and use their efforts there in the cause of amateur athletics great good might be done. *D.ssatisfaction has been growing for some time in the Olympic Club. Itand o:her clubs had been lax in observing amateur rules. The Pacific Association, which uad peen lax in enforcing thein, be-.

At the meeting of | the assoc ation last May the Olympic Club | withdrew and the Acme and Fresno clubs were expelled. The other eighteen clubs voted to remain in the asscciation. “The new association makes glowing promises of pure amateur athletics. But we mu-t look at the material irom which they would draw their support. The mem- bers are the clubs which found the old rules too strict. The d.fference be ween tue new rules and the old is not sufficient to justity a new organization. ““The clubs of the new association will be delarred from competing with clubs of any other association, and any athlere | who competes with them will be disquali- fied a< a memb. rof the Pacific Associa- | tion. For instance, football players from | the Olympic Club could not enter a con- | test with either of the universities, which | belong to the old assuciation.’’ NOTES OF THE THEATERS. What There Is in the Way of Attrac- ; tions at Places of Amusement for This Evening. At the Baldwin Taeater to-night “The Heart of Maryland” enters upon the third and last week but one of its remarkably successful pro- duction. Instead of only six nights and Sat- urday matinee this week there will be an ex- tra matinee on Wednesday to accommodate the demand. Mrs. Carter and the entire cast are recipients of prolonged applausc at each performance. ! To-night will be the firstof the fourteenth and last week of the Frawley company at the Columbia Theater for the summer season. The attraction offered is the interesting military drama, “He.d by the Euemy,” which is pow- erfu , romantic and thrilling. It will be pre- sented with the full strength of the company. “Napoleon’s Old Guard,” a one-act dramatic sketeh,will precede the main attraction at the Alcazar this evening. The chief play is *‘The Sportsman,” an Eastern success that nas never been produced in the United States out- side of New York City. The leading part will be assumed by J. M. Coiville. “The Fire Patro),” a most sensational melo- drama, will be revived at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house to-night ana be presented iwith all the magnificent and siarting stage effects that marked iis former production at this liouse on a previous occasion. The play is one of absorbing interest that does not for one moment flag. The manazement of the Tivoli Opera-house will this evening present Ponchielli’s roman- tic grand opera *“La Gioconda,” which is noted for its excellent music, containing many exquisite solos, duets and choruses. The plot 1> from an Italian romance and iu is said 1o be an exceedingly interesting one. The star speciaiist at the Orpheum this evening is Stanley Whiting, who is described as a wonderiul imitator of fouthern negroes. | Another feature will be Leola Mitchell, “the living doll,” said to be the smallestwoman on the stage in the United States. The Knaben- Kapelle will continue to give selections. There is 1o attraction so great as that which atirects and such is to be found in the Chutes to-night. There the ““Scenes on tne Klondike” in conjunction with the comedians, the musi- cians nud tne shadowgrapher make up a show tha! is worth seeing, and, in addition, there are the oul-ol-door features. The fair in the Mechanics’ Pavilion has for this cvening as a special attraction “the Y. C. A.night,” and excellent music will be furnished. There are of course the many ob- jects of interest to be seen in the msin hall, the machinery department and in the picture gallery. The charming musical selections that are presented cvery evening by the ladies’ orches- traat the Oberon draw a large number to this place. The programme that, has been pre- ared for this evening will contain many se- ections from the works of the best composers. HANDBALL GAMES, Bonnet and J, White Defeat John Eiordan and E. Maloney. There was plenty of excitement at the San Francisco handball court yesterday, several closely contested games having been played. The princival event was a game In which T. F. Bonnet and J. White played against J. Riordan and E. Maloney. It was a great game and tue final was won by Bonnetand White by only one ace. Much interest was manifested in a single-hand game between Colonel James O'Hea and T. Duffy, the best of three. Duffy thought he would have it all his own way, but the colonel beat him in two straights, : Pnil Ryan and M. McNeil, the heavy- weigh's, played azainst M. McDonald and P. White, and much to their surprite were defeated by two games to one. > Following were the games played in the court: N. 1. Prendergastand D. J. Sheehan deieatea L Waterman and J.

It is expected that it will tcke place in the early part of next month.: - B 2 SLIGATED AND NOT ADVISED Miss Cummings Still Awaits an Explanation From Adair. | His Failure to Keep an Engage- ment to Be Married a Mystery. | Has Not Been Seen Since Last Mon- day, When He Made Final Ar- rangements for His Marriage. No explanation has yet been given con- cerning the whereabouts of G. B. Adair, who, but a short time ago, was the second mate ot the English ship Largiemore, at present anchorea in Mission Bay, or of his failure to keep an appointment last Tuesday evening, at which time he was to have been married to Miss E. H. Cum- mings of Oakland. The aftair still remains a mystery, and, as Mr. Aduir cannot be found, there seems no way in which it can be cleared up The bride-to-be has half-heartedaly said that she now believes that she was pur- posely deserted at the last minute, but as nothing definite can be learned, surmises temain to take the place of facts, what- ever they may be. According to the statements of J. G. Spencer, the captain of the Largiemore, Mr. Adair left the ship a week a0 last Friday, at which time he drew his back pay and 1nformed his captain that he was 10 be married in a short time and that he would no longer saii the seas for a liveli- hood, but remain on land for the rest of his hfe. Mr. Spencer said last evening: “'Mr. Adair signed with me a year ago last March, ana although I was never in his confidence I noticed thatnhe was rather erratic, and am not much surprised that he cannot be found. There is no founda- ton for my suspicions other than bis rather queer actions. I do notthink that he has been foully desit with, but am rather of the opinion that he is hiding in the City, but for what reason is as much a mystery to me as Lo many others. “The only man who seemed to be in his confitence was A. L. Had on, the sail- maker, and what he may know of Mr. Adair is nothing to me. Mr. Melville, formerly the third mate of the <hip Blair- more, has been engaged to take the miss- ing man’s place. ] vaw Adair for thelast time Monday, said Mr. Hadson, ‘'wien he was stopping with a Mr. Daniel Law at 1012 Tennessee |* d street, and since that time 1 have h nothing from him. I was well acquainted with Miss Cummings, and knew ior some time that she was engeged to Adair. He first told me that the marriage was o take place last Tuesday, but on Monday he told me that it was postponed unul the end of the week. On the same day he to!d F. Anderson, one of our seamen, that the marriage was postponed {. r a month, and these reports have led me to believe that he had no intention of ever marry- ing the girl, to whom he had been en- gaged for over a year. I was told by Adair that Mr. Melville of the ship Blairmore had procured the marriage license for him, but whether it is true or not is unknown to me. Iam positive that there was no other girl in the case and also positive that he did not drink to excess, and " for these reasons I am unable to account for his peculiar ac- tions. It may be that he will clear the matter up himself ina few days, but I am of the opinion that he has gone for good.” No record of a marriage license made out for Adair can be iound, and time alone can tell for what reason G. B. Adair mys- ter.ously disappeared from the view of his friends and sweetheart. Miss Cumming:, who is an attractive young lady, finds herself considerably broken up over the dilemma in which she finds hersel!. “1 will admit,”” she said last evening, ‘that T am distressed and completely heartbroken over the whole affsir. It is hard to describe my feelings wuen I found that 1 had been deserted. Colone!l Adams, who was present Tuesday evening, ex- plained the matter to the guests as best he could under the circumsiances, but the whole affair has been constantly in my mind eversince. “‘We have been engaged for over a vear. 1 knew him in Glasgow and we renawed our acquaintance when the ship arrived here about a year ago. He sent me many letters telling of his love and his hopes of an early marriage. “I am under the impression that he has gone to Alaska. He gave me some pres- j ents which I shall return to his mother, and I never wish to see or hear from him again. He told me that he had obtained his release from his captain as he wished to marry and seitle down. But thisis the it he sooner I can forget him the better I will be saristied.” Over 17,000 different kinds of buttons have veen found in pictures of medizval clothing. DESTROCTION OF SMALL FISHES A Strong Fight to Be Made Against the Chinese Vandals. An Able Opinion From Judze Maguire to the Fisherm.n's Alliance. Jos Catania Will Invoke the Power and Aid of the Fish Com- missioners. The fishermen of this City and vicinity are again complaining of the destruction of small fish by the Chinese who are en- gaged in the pursuit of chasing the finny tribe for the market, . It is an old complaint, which is revived about every (wo years, and then the deputies of the Fish Commissioners for several consecutive days flood the Police Courts with Chinese accused of violating the law, together with baskets of bad- smelling fish as “evidence,” which of course smells worse aiter each continu- ance of the case, uniil the Judges almost threaten to throw up their jcbs or refuse to admit the odorous evidence, without which conviction is impossible. By a visit to the fishing camps around the bay one will discover tons of small dried fish and shrimps already packed and prepared for shipment to China. They dare not place them on the local market for lear of prosecution, but the State deputies are paid for looking afler just such work. Failure of conviction has happened in a vast number of cases recenily, simply be- cause the deputy was not sufliciently learned in piscatorial scicnce to swear to the age of the little fishes which they brought in as evidence. Itisaverred by those tn the business that, althcugh there is no law against catchinz shrimps, they cannot be caught without a violation of the law. The rea- son is that the neis used take in as many if not more small fish than shrimps. Among other abusesis tte v olation of the iaw concerning sturgeon-fisbing. As an ayent of the Fishermen’s Alliance Joseph Catania of the California Market consulted Hon. James G. Maguire con- cerning the latter matter. . ‘The subject was deemed of such imrort- ance by the Congres:man that he un- swered at length, as foilow Joseph Catania ]F Agent Fishermen's Alli ance—DEAR StR: mit me o say iu reply o your question which yonu have submitied to me on behalf o1 the fishermen whom you rep- resent, namely: “Wilit be lawiul he:ea to tish for sturgeon in the waters of Calitor with the old style ol sturgeon lines containin baited hooks, lying at the bottom of (he bay or chanuel, aud wnich cannot pessibly ine jure any fih except such as may 1ake he batt and thus be caught iv the ordinary man- ner by the hook, in view of the provisions of the act of 1895, statutes of 1895, page 263: ‘Every person who shall cast, extend, set, use or continue to have in_his possession, or who snall assist in the casting, extending, using or continuing “Chinese sturgeou lines,” or lines of the same character, is guilty of a misde- meanor.”’" The Chinese sturgeon line, as you explain ir, is a line set at considerab'e distance abave the bottom of the water in which it is placed, containing unbaited hooks, sharp-pointed, but without barbs, and intended to caich such large fich as may attempt to pass under the line, not1n the usualor ordinary way, in the moush or gills, but by penetrating any part of the body of the fish which may come in cou- tact with the hook. These methods of fishing are widely differ- ent, and as the statute expressly confines its inhibition to the use of Chinese sturgeon lines or lities of the same character it is not in- tended to interiere with the oid style of stur- geon lines in fishing for sturgeou. The object of the provision of the statute was undoubted- 1y to prevent the indiscrimimmate kiiling and mutilation of fish by the use of the Chinese lines and not at all to interfere with the old method of caiching sturgeom in such manner that no fish can be injured except sueh as, seeking the bottom of the bay or cChannel, take the bait, and that no fish is likely to be injured or mutilated in any way except such as is finally caught. It ju’ thermore appears that the old method is not likely to caich any fish except stur- geon or those that procure food by suction from the buttom of the bay or channel, while the Chinese method is likely to mutilate fish of all kindsand sizes. and is likely to muiilate a iar greater number of fish than wili be caught by that method. In view of these broad distinctions between the Chinese sturgeon lines, the use of which is expressiy prohibited, and tne old style of line, and in view of tne carefully restricted ianguage of the statute, I am satisfied that it is not unlawful to fish for sturgeon with the old sty e of lines containing baited hooks 1ving at the bottom of the bay or channel, and likely to injure only such fish asseek the Dbait and are caught by the hook, no matter flow many hooks may be caughton a single ne. This appears to be the on'y reasonable con- struction of ihe statute, and accords with the weneral rules of construction apolied by a couris to penal siatutes. Yours resnectinlly, G. MAGUIRE. + Mr. Catania is a leading fish dealer and a few years ago was 2 deputy Fish Com- mis<iorer. In three months he made convictions of Chinese fishermen for illegal fishing that put $5000 in the City treasury. He convicted a large number of white dealers also for the same offense, which caused a ceneral fight against him. Now he declares that he and his asso- ciates who do not violate the law will vigorously clamor for protection by the successful prosecution of those who are needlessly destroying thousands of fish daily in our waters. He expects to force several arrests in a few days, and he has no doubt that tie ‘?nmmisdoners will give him a willing hand. Jax NEW TO-DAY.
