THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 189 12 —————————— ————— PHENOMENALLY FAST GALLOPING Buckwa Creates a New Record for One Mile and a Half. salvado Hung Up a New Coast Record for a Shorter Route. Polish at 25 to 1 Undoubtedly Upset | Calculated Coup. a Fine! Favorites Won. The Oakland track is either the fast- est elliptical course in the world or it is short of being a mile. Every day ordi- na elling platers make a circuit of it | in astonishing fast time. Yesterday | Buckwa, the 4 to 5 choice for the mile | and a half run, made Judge Denny and like pygmies and under wraps the en- like pygmies and underwraps the en- tire distance completed in 2:32%, just half a ond faster than the record, made by Lamplighter some years ago. The fractional parts recorded by the official timers were: quarter, :26; half, :51; three-quarters, 1:15%; mile, 1:40%2; mile and a quarter, 2 mile and a | half, 2:32%. The attendance was good and the| betting more than lively. Favorites were very successful, capturing four of the six races decided. Lord Marmion in the first, a four and a half furlong scramble, got a flying art and won hands down from Good 525 s Friend, played for a good thing by the | W ern dGelegation. The colt’s vie- tory proved a costly one for Owner | McManus. Entered to be sold for §500, | he w bid up to $1000 by the Whittier Br ' agent. Sam Hildreth then step- Ded in and gave him a further boost of $500; a $5 bid retaining the young- ster for the stable. The 11 to 5 choice Cappy defeated his field in the mile run following like breaking sticks. Away none too well, Gray took the filly to the front and she waltzed in four lengths ahead of Lucky Star. Mollie R was a fair third. The two favorites, Barnardello and| Double Quick, made a showing in the | third event over a mile that would | scarcely bear a microscopical exam- ination. It looked though Imp. Dev- iI's Dream backed down from 20 to 12to 1 was intended for a Christmas pack- age. Sir Dilke made the running to Near the paddock Thorpe on Devil's Near the paddock Thorpe on Devils Dream got through next the rail after | a squeeze, only to be downed less than a length by Polish, a 25 to 1 shot, rid- den by J. Woods, which came with a great rush. The tardy coming favor- ite, Bernardillo, was a bang-up third. Salvado, the fast son of Salvator, took a hack at the coast record on the mile and a furlong run. Argentina, the Baldwin entry, made a great showing out in front, maintaining her lead until 3 of the wire, where ado overtook her, and in a wild > won by half a length in 1:52%, a | clip of a quarter of a second off the | coast record. Ace, the 8 to 5 favorite, never got to the front and finished in last position. The final seven-furlong run was only a gallop for May W, the 9 to 10 fa- vorite. ~ With Thorpe up she led throughout, winning hands down from The Roman, second choice. | — Track Items. intries for Ingleside running events will ¢ to-day at 12 o'clock with Entry Clerk Randolph at Oakland track.

Gladdening the Hearts of the Un- fortunate of the Order of Odd Fellows. The Christmas cheer committee of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, com- posed of representatives of nearly all the subordinate lodges of this city and all of the local Rebekah lodges, was hard at work yesterday preparing packages of provisions and sending them out about fifty families of members of the order who at this glad season are not in | as good circumstances as some of their | more fortunate brethren. The baskets, which contained nice cuts of meat and | all that is necessary to make up a good Christmas dinner, with enough for sev. eral more, were each accompanied by sack of flour, half a sack of potatoes and three sacks of coal. The sub-committee that had charge of the fraternal work and of arranging the baskets, with the contents that were purchased with money donated by_the jodges, was composed of: Messrs. J. J. McDonald, H. Dow, F. A. Jennings and T. Houghwont, and Mrs. H. H. Dobbin cal Lodge. Another activ Iifie’ general committee was H. H. Dob- bin. In addition, the sub-committee dis- tributed warm clothing to the orphans of 0dd Fellows in the local asylums. —————————— An Insolvent Debtor. C. H.

Discrepancies in Two Statements Made by the Husband. Says Now He Thinks the Woman Is Leading a Dis- solute Life. HAS DISAPPEARED BEFORE He Asserts That She Frequently Left ‘Their Home in the Colonies for Several Days. ‘Whether Mrs. Julia Keefe has been put to death, as the children believe, taken her own life during a fit of despondency, according to the theory of some of her mneighbors, or has abandoned home and children to follow a life of dissipation, as her husband boldly asserts, the woman’s mysterious disappearance is causing a vast amount of comment among the resi- dents of Alameda—that is, among all but the police. They are not worrying themselves about a woman more or less, and while all sorts’of rumors and theories are flying about Chief Rog- ers and his subordinates stand or sit around, according to their inclination, and make never a move to solve the mystery. Patrick Keefe, the husband and father on whose head rests the terrible accusation of murder made by his own children, roams at will about the streets of Alameda or busies himself caring for the three cows which were the sole support of the entire family before the mother disappeared and the children were given to the care of strangers to save them from their brutal parent. O’Keefe, or Keefe as he calls him- self now, is a strange fellow. Slightly under medium height, he is a wiry, active looking man of 38 or fortyyears. At first glance his features are not unpleasant, but as one studies them they assume a hardened appearance that destroys the first impression and leaves instead a feeling of distrus A muddy complexion that might be due, in part at least, to over-indulg- ence in intoxicants, illuminated by a crown of close-cropped red hair, a square-cut, bristling mustache of the same hue and a broad, heavy nose are the first points in his appearance to come under observation, then a glance at the eyes, which causes the | first distrustful feeling, which deepens with each succeeding look into them. Blue-gray in color, they have a cold glitter when gazing straight at an ob- Jject that is not calculated to estab- lish confidence in their owner. But they seldom gaze long at one object. There is a shifty movement to them that only increases the first impres- ion one gains. Keefe makes a brave effort to tell his story without displaying any ner- vousness, but with the first question that is put to him he becomes rest- af Amity Todge and Mrs. H. E. Cyrus of | 1688, and, while his answers come glib- worker of | 1y enough, they seem to cost him an effort which he would fain to conceal. Cunning is displayed in every feature, every movement he makes, and in al- most every sentence he utters. To a Call reporter he made another statement yesterday, which was ma- terially different in_ several Imprtant points from what he had previously said. Once he stated that he received a letter from his wife several weeks ago and at the time she wrote she was with her sister in La Sueur, Minn, and offered to show the letter to his questioner, but upon the latter ex- pressing a wish to see it, Keefe changed his mind and refused to pro- duce it. Yesterday he stated posi- tively that he had not heard a word from his wife since her disappearance, but he believed she had gone to La Sueur. After a time he expressed the opinion thaethe woman was in San Francisco leading a reckless life. He followed this statement with the assertion that she had frequently left home for days at a time when they were living in Aus- tralia and kept company with objec- tionable characters, but he admitted that she had not done so since they came to California, and had never stayed away so long before. Keefe reiterated his assertion of the night before that his wife was addicted to the use of liquor, but careful inquiry among the neighbors, including those whom Mrs. Keefe used to visit most frequently, as well as those who now take sides with the father, fail to dis- close a single person who ever saw her take a drink of any intoxicant or cven saw any indications of inebriety in her appearance. This accords with the statements of all the children and leaves only Keefe's unsupported asser- tion that she drank. Again, Keefe became entangled in another point yesterday. In speaking of the woman in Minnesota Keefe first gave her name as Mary Lynch. Yes- terday he called her Mary Collins, un- til he evidently discovered the dis- crepancy in the names, and then he said by way of explanation that Col- lins ‘was her maiden name. Keefe said he married the woman who has so mysteriously vanished in Cincinnati in in 1880, and they started at once for Ireland. Two months later they sailed for Australia and remained there until last April, when they came to the United States, with the excep- tion of two years that they spent in New Zealand. When asked why the couple left their children to the care of strangers for so long a time (eight vears, according to the oldest girl) Keefe said the longest time they were ever away from the little ones was two years. This does not accord with the statement of the boy Eddy, who said he never remembered seeing his mother until just before they sailed for America, or that of the girl, who said her parents only visited them once during the eight years. Comng down to the 5th of July, Keefe said his wife did not go to Golden Gate Park with him and the children because she had the cows to attend to and the milk to deliver, Closely pressed, he admitted that he told the children that their mother was to join them at 5:30 that afternoon. In his first interview he said he pleaded with her to go with them, but she positively refused, and he said nothing about her meeting them later. It was the oldest girl who first said any- thing about that, and now her father corroborates that much of her state- ment. Upon their return home, Keefe said he went to the barn and shed to see if his wife was there, and not finding her, went to bed. He denied his daughter’s statement that he went to her room at 5 o’'clock and told her that her mother had not yet returned. Another, and a very material point in the girl’s story that Keefe supports, is the statement that none of Mrs. Keefe's clothing is missing except a hat. Keefe has the woman’s effects stowed in a shed in the rear of the house he now occupies, and which he has moved into since his children were taken away from him, and he is posi- tive that not one of the woman’s dresses is missing. If this is true, what did she wear when she left home? Keefe does not pretend to answer this question. In regard to the various theories ad- vanced it is pointed out that one woman is in a position to say she saw Mrs. Keefe during the afternoon of July 5, and for that reason the woman could not have been murdered, for if such a crime had been committed it must have been after the children left the house in the morning and before the father joined them at the station. In answer to this, others say the woman may have returned home late at night and that the tragedy took place after the children were in bed. The supporters of the suicide theory base their opinion solely on the ground that none of the woman’s clothing is missing and that she wan- dered down to the bay after nightfall in a nude state and plunged in. There are a few who incline to the theory advanced by the husband—that the woman has abandoned her home. The house the Keefes occupied at 1247 College avenue at the time of the disappearance of Mrs. Keefe is in the outskirts of Alameda and not far from.the bay shore. Its location is in a thinly settled portion of the city, and after nightfall the neighborhood is in complete darkness except for the moon and stars. It would not be a difficult matter to drag the body of a murdered person from the house or its imme- diate vicinity to the waters of the bay without being observed. If any de- pendence is to be placed on the state- ments of the four children of the miss- ing woman and any credence is given to the hints conveyed in them that a murder had been committed, it is reasonable to suppose that the body of Mrs. Keefe was taken from the Col- lege-avenue home sometime during the night of July 5 or early the next morning and possibly after being gea\'ily weighted was thrown into the ay. A gate at the rear of the lot in which the house stands opens out into a narrow street. Two small cot- tages face that street, and after pass- ing them the way to the bay shore leads through an open common, on which a few vegetables had been planted. The people who reside in the neighborhood are in the habit of re- tiring at an early hour, and at mid- night on until daylight a person could go from the house the Keefes occupied to the beach and the proba- bilities are that he would not be seen from one year’s end to the other. About 200 yards to the rear of the lot there is a frail footbridge that crosses a slough near where the Blue- rock Gun Club has its shooting range. The body of a dead person could be dropped from it and in a few hours it would sink out of sight in the soft mud below the shallow water and be lost forever. A little way further is the bridge that leads to Bay Farm island. It is over a deep channel and where the water flows like a millrace at both the fiow and ebb of the tide. A body with weights attached to it could be thrown from the bridge and it would be as far from sight then as if it were in the middle of the Pacific. Those who have confidence in the tale told by the children of Patrick Keefe and who believe that Mrs. Keefe has been murdered, say that the body, if found at all, will be recovered from the mud near the piers of either the foot bridge near the shooting range or at the big bridge that crosses the slough to Bay Farm island. At the rear of the house and within a few yards of the back door are a few low sheds. One of the children tells a story of having heard his father de- scend the stairs of the house shortly after midnight of the day of the dis- appearance of Mrs. Keefe after put- ting them to bed and entering one of the sheds. The boy heard the latch on the door being opened and the hinges creaking as the door was swung. It was long after that—almost daylight —when his father again came to the house. No one knows what the errand of the father to the barn was that night or what was the reason for his absence until near the break of day. Those who place confidence in the stories of the children are of the opin- ion that the body .of the missing woman was concealed during the day in one of the sheds, and that after the children had been sent to their beds on their return from San Francisco the body was taken from its place of con- cealment and sunk in the waters and mud of the slough. Keefe does not deny that he went to the shed after putting the children to bed, but says he went there to search for his missing wife. He said he be- lieved she had taken to drink and that he might find her lying in the straw in the shed. Mrs. Benson, a neighbor of the Keefes, who claims to have seen Mrs. Keefe on the afternoon of July 5, the day she disappeared, says she was sure it was that day, because her hus- band was home from work at the time, consequently it m have been a hol- iday. Sunday, the day previous, too, was a holiday, and Mr. Benson was also home on that day. Mrs. Benson could easily be mistaken in recalling the day after six months have passed. Mrs. Benson says that Mrs. Keefe did not drink, and that when she saw her she was not in the least under the influence of liquor. THE STOCK MARKET.

Judge de Haven Decides That Pol- icies Should Be Construed in That Way. United State District Judge de Ha- ven yesterday decided in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Alexander Woodside and Isabella Woodside, his wife, against the Canton Insurance Office Limited to recover $2000, the amount of an insurance upon the per- sonal effects of the plaintiffs. The clause, “‘warranted free from all aver- age,” appeared in the policy. The defendant claimed that the pol- icy, by reason of the clause, was to be construed as meaning the personal ef- fects collectively. In the course of his decision the Judge said: “It is a general rule of law that a policy of insurance being a contract of indemnity to the insured is to be lib- erally construed in his favqr, and in accordance with that rule ic is held that an exception from the risks of the policy is to be construed strictly against the insurer.” 2 ————— Rosenthals Incorporate. Letters of incorporation of Rosenthal's Boot and Shoe House were filed with the County Clerk yesterday. The capital stock of the corporation is $200,000, all of which has been subscribed. The_direc- tors are: I. Reinheimer, Amelia Rosen- thal, Hermann Frankel, Moses Sond- heimer and Isaac L. Rosenthal. SAN FRANCISCO C;LL.
