DARE TELLOW BASEBALL WAYS How Reliance and Gilt Edge Were Expelled From the Tournament. ——" Mr, Heeseman Denies That a Meeting Was Held for That Purpose. Ibery and Peters Are Now the Bat- tery for the Stockton Team. The vellow journal, in extenuation of its managerial efforisin baseball and in se and mislead the many blunders and false statemen 1t has published iz Its columns that at a meeting of the managers of a!l the clubs in the tournament, known asthe Exam- iner tournament, it was unanimously de- cided notto reinstate the Giit Edge and Reliance nines. C. J. Heeseman, an Oakland merchant, and wno has a clubin the tournament, emphatically denies that such a meeting was ever keld, and if it were, the Heese- man nine was not represented, conse- quently any action taken by the meeting did not express the unanimous concur- rence of the clubs in the tournament. When Gilt Edge and Reliance heard of suspension they very wisely cou- uded to remain out, and they did so. At the meeting in Mayor Phelan’s office Lange, captain of Reliance, contended that Gilt Edge and Reliance had violated o rule governing the tournament, but, on thie contrary, ia playing an exhibition /zame at Sacramento they had conformed to the rules, one of which declared that exhibition games between clubs compos- ing the tournament could be played where they did not coiflict with the schedule of the tournament games. Tom Maguire is another of those crack players who has received an offer from the yellow journal to desert his team and play in the tournament games. Maguire is the crack first baseman of the Reliance nine. ‘“‘I’d ratlhier pay my own expenses and play in a vacant lot,” sait1 he vester- day, *“than play in Central Park if I r- ceived $100 a game. I am through with that crowd forever.” Iberg and Peters, the great baitery of the California Markets, have ~xignea with Stocktor of the Cslifornia State League.

The Fresno Republicans favor the rew leazue. The great success of the league games Sunday in this city and in Stockton sur- passed the expectations of the most en- thusiastic pariisans of the league. The organization has the public with it. Reprebensible methods and crooked work in baseball have received a solar plexus blow. WHERE RECEIPTS WENT. Secretary Pringle Tells Where the Money Went. OAKLAND, Can, Oct. 4. — Secretary Pringle of the Examiner baseball tourna- nsent said to-night: *The total receipts of e games were not taken charge of by the commitiee. Its practice is-to send a man to the box office, and he remains there till the 20 per cent is paid him for charity and teams receive their 10 per cent each. The 60 percent was left with the management. The committee handled no money except that which was apportioned to charity. The commitiee personally took no other part in the financial busi- ness of; the tourpament, but was repre- sented by a man who was appointed by Mayor Phelan. I forget his name. He took the 20 per cent and banked it, and reported 10 me and through me to the commitiee the amount te had received. We have now between §6000 and $7000 on hand and have not paid out any, a.tough we have passed a resolution to pay $1000 to the Thanksgiving dinner to the poor. We have had nothing to do with the spending of tue 60 per cent, that being entirely in the hands of the man- agers, although they showed to us that that amount was absolutely necessary to run the business end of the game. Now we are paying each team 20 ner cent. - NEW TO-DAY.

Maggio Had His Thumb Broken and Was Struck So S:verely in the Stomach by the Fish's Tail That He Will Be Laid Up for Several Days, { AFIGHT WITE A AN EATER Capture of an Enormous Shark in the Bay Yesterday. One of the Fishermen Seriously Injured While Securing the Monster, | An Opposition Steamer Is to Go on| the Route Between Here and- Suisun, A man-eating shark caused considerable excitement among the Italian fishermen early yvesterday morning. It got tangled | upin one of the nets, and it was cnly after a struggle that lasted neariy two hours that the monster was captured. ‘While the struggle was going on one of the fishermen was severely injured and hed to be taken home when the boat reached Fishermen’s whar”. | Karly Monday morning F. Maggio and | G. B. Matola started out in the fishing- smack Stella. Off Goat Isiand they set their nets and then allowed tbe boat to | drift out with the tide. All went well un- | til the boat was off Lime Point. The men were half nsleep, and before anything could be done the boat was nearly cap- sized. Maggio at once saw that a big fish was enfangled in the net. They gradually hauled in the slack and then discovered | that their capture was a large man-eating | shark. Every attempt to get itinto the boat proved a failure, and other boats had ! to be summoned. | During the struggle - which followed Maggio had hisright thumb broken, and | the fish hit him 0 hard in the stomsch with its tail that all the fight was knocked | out of bim. Finually tie shark was beaten into insensibility with a ciub, and it was | finally got into” the boat. The net was ruined, and Maggio and Matola decigel they had had all the fishing they wanted for one day, so the Stelia was headed jor the wharf. The shark was hoisied 1nto the fishermen’s shed and hid from view. It measured 9 feet 11 inches and had three | rows of teetn, 1t will be placed on exhibi- tion to-day. This makes the fourth man-eater that Maggio has captured since he has been fishing on this coast, but it is the first he bas caught in the waters of the bay. The others were caucht off the coast and measured from 18 to 23 feet. The one caught yesterday could easily have bitten a4 man in two, and a leg or an arm would have been n small mouthful *Gabe” Cohen, who was known as “‘the Young Napoleon of the water front,” has reached Dawson City, Heleft hereon the | Excelsior, but upon reaching St. Michael | he found that another river stcamer was | leaving before the Alaska Commeroial | Company’s boat, but all the passuges had been taken. The steamer was snort of | cabin b however, and, nothing! daunted, “Gabe’” took the job. For the first two or three nighis he had 10 make his bed in a coil of rone, but after that | things moved along all right. On arriving at Dawson Le saw that there was nothing 10 be done in tne shape of prospecting un- til next spring and also that pi i were going o be very scarce. “Young | Napoleon™ considered the situation in all | its bearines and finally decided that work he must have. Just before the mail left | he succeeded in getting a position in one of the Alaska Commercial Company’s | stores at $50 a month and jound. So now | through ihe winter Mr. Coben will have comfortable quarters, plenty to eat and a monthly salary. He says inat unless the | unexpected happeus, and plenty 5f pro- visions eet in, there will be much suffer- | ing in Dawson ihis winter.

Twenty-Four Days Occupied in the| Trial and All the Points Were | Carefully Considered. | | Judge Slack of the Superior Court | handed down his decision yesterday in | he suit of the City and County of San | Francisco against John Centerand others, awarding to the city and county property | valued at about $150,000 and placing at | the disposition of the municipal authori- tiesalarge number of building lots tbat may be sold or rented for the benefit of | the municipal treasury. Hitherto there has been no demand for | these lots because of the cloud on the title, i but it is thought that Judge Slack’s de- | | | cision has been so well considered that there is little likelihood of (e defendants securing a reversal in the Supreme Court | and that now the iots will be taken either on long leases or that purchasers will £oon e found. | This cuse is an action in ejectment, and city to recover from over 200 Jefendants a long strip_of land. exten ting from Ninth | street to Eighteentb, and embracing what | was formerly the bed of Mission Creek, | and Old Channel street—a strip ot iand,| which under the Stratton survey of the | pueblo ot San Francisco was excluded from | State of California, but whick under the | subsequent Van Lesicht rurvey was in- cluded in the boundaries of the pueblo and heid to belong to the City and County of San Francisco in trust for the inhab- | itants. Alfier the Stratton survey and before the | | her property, sold parts of this land to| divers jersons, and others squatted on various portions of it, and it was torecover against these persons, 208 in number, that ‘bis action was brought. The city filled i the channel of Mission | Creek, at a cost of more than $30,000, ana | divided the strip of laud in controversy | into 109 lots (under au act of the Legisla- | ture) for the purpose of selling the same; | but owing to the contest over the utle, none of the lots were ever soid. There was litigation as to a part of this | land between the city and George W. Eilis (under whom some of the delendants claim) which resulted in a judgment in | favor of El (San Francisco vs. BEllis, | between the Le Roys and the ciiy, as to other parts of said land, which resulted in | a judgment in favor of the L» Roys. (San Franc:sco vs. e Roy, 138 U. 8., 656 ) Both of these judgments were pleaded n this suit as esioppels against the city— | which gave rise to some of the closest | questions in a case bristiing with close | questions. In an elaborate arzument, counsel for | the city convinced Judge Slack that for certain reasous neitier of said judgmen:s was really an estoppel against the city,and the city’s original title to the land could be litigated in this action. The hearing of the case occupied twen- ty-four trial davs, and after exhaustive arguments on both sides Judge Slack an- nounced that be would decide 1n tavor of the city, except as to a smail piece nbout 30x50 feet, situaied at the southwest cor- ner of Alameda street and oid Columbia street of the Van Ness map, which he gave to the Le Roys. Atterward, owing to the complicated nature of the litigation, he grunted a re- hearing and reargument as to the Le Roys. This rearsument was finished just hefore Judge Slack began the trial o the r case, which trial obliged him to postpone consideration of the matter, and i1t was only yesterday he announced his decision. His decision is to the same effecy as be- fore and gives the cily everything except | the small piece 30x50 at the corner of Al- | ameda and Columoia streets belore men- tioned.

Attorney-General Fitzgerald Pleads for Justice and Mocks at Delay. To W. M. T. Burrant, Appel. lant, and 1o Messrs. A. L. Hart | and F. P. Dewees, his counsel: You and each of you will please take notice that the ap- | pellee by his counsel will, on the first Monday in November, | 1897, at the opening of the Su. | preme Court of the United | States, on that day or as soon | thercafier as coumnsel can be| heard in the couriroom of said | court in the Capitol building | at Washington, District of Co- | Iumbia, make and submit to the said court the motions in writing to dismiss this appeal on writ of habeas corpus and | to aflirm the order appealed | from The Jast scene in the Durrant case is about to be enacted. Preparations have been made for a final denouement in Washington on the first Monday in Noe vember. it is to be determined then whether or no the farcical habeas corpus writ can elbow a criminal out of the reach of justice for time without end. W. F. Fitzgerald, on behaliof the State of Califor- nia, in conjunction with T. C. Catchings, is of the opinion that all forms of law | have been ob-erved in the triai of the | case, and that the defendant has had | every cpportunity to make his drlvu!e,l and since hisconviciion hagbeen affirmed | by the highest court in the State the farci- | cal lines of the play should be drawn and ‘ justice done according to the sentence of | the law. Durrant, through kLis attorneys, was | served yesterday with a motion by Appel- iee Hale, the Warden of Sin Quentin, to writ,wh ch was denied by the Circuit Court, | also to affirm the oraer of the lower court | and notice of motions. As hasbeen stated, ! this motion wiil be presented to the United | States Supreme Court on the first Monday | in Novemuver, and the whole case iies on the order of thatcourt. If the highest court in the land may see fit to allow the writ, then a man convicted of marder and sentenced to a felon's death may evade the law from time to iime by the applica- tion of the time-worn writ and justice will go begging, but if not the order of the lower and Siate courts will be executed and Durrant will be swung into eternity. | Service of the brief as wel! as the motion | to be placed before the Supreme Court acknowiedged yesterday by Attorney A. L. Hart for appellant, Durrant. and as but a brief month is between now and ihe Jast motion which cay be presented | to the highest court in the iand, many | consultations will undoubtedly be Leld by Durrant’s attorney The grounds of the anpellant’s ap plica- tion for the writ of habeas corpus are | shown to b> that the provisions of the | constitution and Penul Code of California and fourtcenth amenaments of the con- stitution of the United States; the man- ner of seiecting jurors under section 204 of the Code of Civii Proceaure; the errors of the trial cour: in seleciing jurors, as well as refusing to grant change of venue, and 1o cite the proprictors of certain news- papers for contempt pending the trial ot appellant. It isshown by attorneys in behalf of the Btate of Caiifornia and the appeilee that the writ of habeas corpus cannot be made to serve the purpose of a writ of error and that the provisions of the Siate con- stitution are not in confl ct mith the con- stitution of the United States, nor that the nrovisions of tue penal code are in conflict with any amendments of the Ked- eral constitution. In the brief upon motion to dismiss the Attorney-General states that, “the case at bar is a perversion of the Federal laws rel: ative to the writ of habeas corpus. Itis a travesty upon the administration of jus- tice and a gross abuse of the privileges granted to and intended solely for those who hate at least some semblance of a meritorious claim to Federal intervention. Nota question is presented, not an issue raised, that has not been squarely met and determined by this court against the contention of petitioner and that is not governed by decisions familiar to every lawyer in the couniry. » “It wasinstituted solely for the purpose of putting in operation seciion 766 of the ! Revised Statute< of the United States, thereby, upon the very flimsiest of pre- texts, making th - Federal cour's and the Federal statutesinstruments to thwart and delay the ‘ordinary administration of the criminal laws’ of the State of Caiifornia. “I1s effect has been demoralizing to the last degree and other convicted murderers have foilowed the precedent thus estab- lished. Since the institution of these pro- ceedings two other similar applications have been made by men condemned by the courts of California to be hanced. ‘They were made on ihe same flimsy pre- texts and were promptly denied. Yei, ay in the case at bar, appeals were perfected and the proper ration of the criminaliaws of the State was cuecked. “To thus pervert justice in the name of the law, to thus turn the courts and the laws into mere instruments for delay, to thus thwart the execution of a just sen- tence upon not even the slightest pretext of a meritorious case—is nothing short of a fraud and imposition upon the couris. “The proceedings in the case on benalf of defendant are discreditable to th ministration of justice. The courts are being needlessly vexed forno possinle pur- vose except delay. The application ap- pealed from was made upon pretexts mani- festly Irivolous, and for which there can be no possible excuse or justification.” The United States Supreme Court will now be asked notto deny the motion, but depuitments of art goods, pictures, crockery and glassware, is so to aflirm the order app d from and grant it | ward. | FRANCIS G. CLAYTON, ex-Mayor of Birmingham, Eng., Who Is Seeing the Queer Things of San Francisco’s Legislation. A JOURNEY (F OBSERVATION Ex-Mayor Clayton of Bir- mingham, England, Is in the City. The Scene in Golden Gate Park Afforded Him Special Delight. fome Impressions of Municipal Gov- ernment—The Weak Place in San Francisco. Francis G. Clayton of England, who has been twice Mayor of Birminzham and is | now an Alderman of that city, isin San | Francisco, a guest at the Pulace Hotel. It is not his first visit 1o the coast, hewever, | as he made a journey around the world a few years ago. O the present journey he came across the continent from Boston on the northern route. When he started from Birmingham he had in view a sum- mer trip to Alaska to view the scenery of the Arctic region. At V.ctoria he found that he was a little late in the season for a pleasant outing to the north and he aiso encoun-ered tke rush for the Klon- dike. Therefore he decided to defer the Alaskau journey and turn his steps south- He will journey irom San Fran- cisco through Lous Angeles to the City of Mexico, and if the conditions be favor- able move around to the coast of Florida and thence procerd to England via New York. The yeliow fever plague may cause a change in his procramme. The featurs of San Francisco which seems most agrecable to Mr. Clayton is Goiden Gate FPark. A view of this pleas- ure ground afforded him great delight. Mayor Phelan kindly escorted him to many of the interesting places of the city. To-duy the Presidio wili be seen. | Mr. Clayton was asked what he re- garded, from general observation, as tLe weakest point in the municipal govern- ment of San Francisco. had not studied ths subject, but from g-neral observation would say that the election of the Mayor instead of selection | by appoiniment was a mistake. Under the elective system the municipality did | not get the benefits which are conferred by the appointment of a man Leen who has for many years in the municipal irmingham, a city of 500,000 in- babitants, tha city is governed by a Town Council and Board ot Aldermen. The council consists of representatives, three b:inz elected from euach of the eighteen wards. These representatives are elected for a term of three vears and they appoint the Aidermen. The Aldermen serve for six years. Therelis one A'derman on the board now who has seivad forty-six years, Thirty-six years ago he was Mayor. No salary is paid for municipal service of this character. { Birmingham owns outright gasand elec- tric works and also owns the water works, A profit is made in the lighting of the city. From figures whizh Mr. Clayton gave it seems that water for domestic uses cotts about as much in Birmingham asin this city. The tramways of Birmingham are controlled in their char-es by the city, and the cost of riding is much cheaper there than here. In the central part of the city the fareis 1 cent a mile. The ieading question now agitating mingham relates to electric-cars for city travel. The overhead applicition or troi- ley system is not desirable. It has been aecided that the power in the center of | the city shall be conveved through unders ground conduits. The propelling of cars by the storaze princi kas not proved economical, even on level ground. The waste of power is great. Mr. Clayton is an alert and progressive traveter. He has been in the United | States long enough to ask as many ques- tions as a Yankee propounds. In one in- stance he got inside information. Coming acro<s the continent he was told by a fel- low traveler that November was the best month of the year to visit the City of Mexico. Mr. Clayton asked: **W by, then, do the Raymond excursion people say in their book that the best time is in Febru- ary anG March?® The traveler replied: “That’s because Feoruary and March are 80 b:d'in Boston that people caunot live there.’ Against Mrs Elizabeth Meydenfeldt.
