William Lucas Admitted to Member- ship in the Eighth Regiment. ALAMEDA, July 26.—Among the first young men of Alameda to respond to the call for volunteers to fight for the coun- try was William Lucas of this place. His father is a veteran of the Civil War, an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home at Santa Monica, and a member of the Grand Army. Lucas passed two physical ex- aminations successfully, and when the company was summoned to be mustered into the service he was promptly on hand. But to his great disappointment he was told by the mustering officer that as he had a tinge of color in his complexion he could not be permitted to enter the ser- vice of the Government. Lucas had some good friends, however, and a determin effort was made to allow him to be mus. tered in. This proved successful finally and on Saturday last he was sworn in and Is now wearing the blue uniform of a soldier. Death of Miss Elizabeth McLean. ALAMEDA, July 26.—Miss . M. McLean daughter of Health Officer Dr. MecLean of this city, died last night at the family residerce on Central avenue.

Her father is now en route for home and is_expected to ar- rive on Friday evening. The funeral will probably takeé place on Saturda. Alameda News Items.

BARNETT SAID 10 BE CRAZY Has Lived in the Tules for a Generation. MAY HAVE USED SOME POISON EKNOWN TO THE TOWNHIP AS “TULE-HOG HARRY.” He Has Been Considered Not Re- sponsible for His Actions for Many Years Past. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, July 26. It is not at all unlikely that Harry Barnett of Pleasanton may be examined as to his sanity at the instance of some of his friends. Barnett Is the man who is charged by his daughter with polson- ing her infant child about a month ago. The remains of the baby are now in the | hands of Professor Colby of the State University for the purpose of testing the truth of the girl's story. Harry Barnett has long been known as “Tule-hog Harry,” andsocommonlyisthis name applied to the old fellow that many | people in Murray Township did not know | that the story of young Mrs. Hoover had any reference to him, as they hardly ever heard him spoken of as Harry Bar- | nett. ““Tule-hog Harry” is one of the best‘ known characters in the township. Hc has lived in a small house among the | tules for many years, and has always | been considered more than half crazy. He has always been the butt of small | boys and on several occasions has re- | pulsed thefir levity in such a manner as | to create small riots. “Harry Barnett, under the name of ‘Tule-hog Harry,' ” sald William Kelly of | Pleasanton, to-day, *“has been a char- | acter for vears. If it should transpire | that thereis poison in the baby's body | and that its grandfather administered it, | little surprise would be expressed by | those who know old Harry. He is er- | ratic, quarrelsome, and of & vicious dis- | position, and this is partly due to the| continual annoyances to which he has | Dbeen subjected by the little rascals who | live near him. There is no doubt that | the old man is not responsible for his ac- | tions. On one occasfon he shot my broth- | er's dog because he sald if annoyed him, | and was so careless in doing it that he | came within an ace of shooting my | brother. The old man should be exam- | ined, for 1 do not think it is safe for him 'to be at large, and In this opinion I am sure many others concur.” TAKING A MUCH | NEEDED VACATION RED CROSS WORKERS HAVING A | WEEK’S REST. } e I What the Workers in the Society | Throughout the State Are Doing. An air of quiet pervades the Red Cross supply depot at 16 Post street.

Merrill, president San Francisco Red Cross Society, at the request of the secretary of the American Soldiers' Rellef Committee,” appointed a com- mittee to examine the books of the Relief So- clety. Sald committee reported the accounts in perfect condition, tallying with the amount turned over to the Red Cross Soclety. In addition to the books of the soclety the secretary, W. H. Hollis, Esq., presented the following affidavits to prove how small had been the returns " to the soclety from the chain letter which it had started to aid the fund. The Red Cross deplores any misundrstanding that may have arisen in this matter. The affidavits are as follows: “This s to certify that I, the undersigned, have not_delivered more than fifty (0) letters addressed to the American Soldiers' Relief So- ciety up to July 1, dating from June 11, 1598. “GEORGE W.

CASH DOWN PAID FOR HER +HE JOCKEY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SCHOOLMA’AM. He Turns Her Over to the Man He Befriended and Will Ride Through Life for a While Alone. The marital troubles of Steeplechase Jockey Stanford and his wife, Gertrude, are over. A compromise has been ef- fected whereby the co-respondent in the Australlan’s divorce sult, Barmore, by the payment of a certain goodly sum, takes Mrs. Stanford off the hands of her husband for good and all. That Stanford is pleased does not ex- press it, and that Barmore will marry the erring woman who is now allowed a divorce I8 fairly certaln. The story back of the trouble of the Stanfords is a rather remarkable one. Rider Stanford married Gertrude back in Chicago something over three years ago, when under contract to Messrs. Cor- rigan and Brenock. Being impressed with the fact that she was an educated woman, he grew to have affec- tion for her and married the woman, bringing her to California. Here he told his friends that she was a schoolma'am. She had been one in a little town in Wis- consin some years previously, so that no person out this way suspected that the meek little woman had been other than what he represented. Some time after the Stanfords had come to the Golden State they met Barmore, who was connected with a wholesale jewelry establishment. Barmore went to the races, and, according to the steeple- chase rider, lost considerable money, fin- ally becoming ‘‘short” $200 in his ac- counts. Stanford influenced him to bet $200 upon Gold Dust (his mount) one day, and as the horse won at odds of 8 to 1, the young jeweler was enabled to make good his shortage and to have a neat sum with which to continue his turf operations. Naturally Stanford thought Barmore would ever be his friend. Early last spring the horse pilot was suspended iIndefinitely by the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, and not seeing any signs of being reinstated, he went to India, where he had formerly ridden race horses. While in Singapore he received a letter from an old friend living at Benicia, Cal., which led him to believe all was not well within his household. Furthermore, it was hinted in the epistle that his wife and others had plotted to get him out of the country. Stanford immediately took the steamer for San Francisco, coming by way of Shanghal. One of the first persons he met here was Barmore, who informed him that Mrs. Stanford had gone to Chi- cago. Barmore kindly offered to let Stan- ford have the money to take nim to the Middle West metropolis and urged him to go at once. n_a day or so, when rested up, he left. On ills arrival at Chicago he met Hand, the handicap- per, who had known the couple well i)n California. Hand not only informed Stanford that his erring wife was not there but that he suspected she had sold all the household effects and was living with Barmore as Mrs. Barmore. Upon his return here the timber-top- | ping jockey found that Hand's suspicions | were very correct. ‘While Stanford was in the Windy City his wife had brought suit for divorce on the grounds of cruelt; and desertion, and he returned in the nicl of time to defend himself. So Infuriated was Stanford over what he had learned that upon meeting Barmore he “took a shot” at the despoiler of his home, the bullet doing no further damage than to lacerate the jewelry man’s coat tails. Barmore, for some reason best known to himself, merely had Stanford arrested and charged with threatening his life, saying nothing of the shot the rider had taken at him. Stanford got out of the Barmore trouble and his lawyer wanted to have the jew- elry man arrested. Then followed the compromise by which Stanford is enriched considerably and Barmore is now entitled to wed Gertrude, the Wisconsin schoolteacher, ete. To Dance in a Good Cause. An entertainment and dance for the benefit of the Red Cross Society will bhe given by Junior Court Pride of the Gold- en West No. 3, F. of A., at Social Hall, Alcazar building, this evening.
