SID CA\ilLL BESTS : ROGER B. CORNELL LOCAL SWIMMER DEFEATED BY THE AUSTRALIAN. Good Sport at Sutro Baths—An Iowa Volunteer Meets With an Ac- cident at Bakers Beach. Roger B. Cornell, champion rough water swimmer of the Pacific Coast, was de- feated a second time by Sid Cavill, cham- plon of Australia, at Sutro Baths, and carried off a purse of $500 and a side bet of $100. Thkree weeks ago the first heat of the match was contested. The swimmers covered a distance of 220 yards and Cavill was an easy winner. A week ago Sunday the swimmers entered the ocean near the baths and swam a mile around the rocks. Cavill took things easy and, when near the beach, walted an incoming wave to carry him ashore but Cornell struggled on and beat his opponent some eight or ten feet. Yesterday a course of 880 yards was laid out in the baths for the final heat of the match. Promptly at 3:30 p. m. the swimmers faced the line and to the report of & pistol in the hands of Edward Mowry, director of aguatic sports, dove into big tank u:fl the race was om, | sther | | ¢ ming money.

Her account of the shooting is substantially | the same as that of Sullivan’s, with the exception that she says Pratt called Sul- livan names first. When Sullivan began | to shoot Mrs. Carney grabbed his arm | and begged him not to kill Pratt.

This is the reason he had sent his trunks to the house of Mrs. Lee. The property was taken from Mrs. Lee ,\'ef_lor ay and is in the possession of the police. ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF MARTIN KRELING A LOOSE GAS JET CAUSES HIS SUDDEN DEMISE. Last of Four Brothers Who Were Prominent in the Business of This City. Martin Kreling was found dead in bed yesterday morning at his residence, 139 Al- bion avenue. His wife was on her way down stairs for the purpose of getting the morning papers when she discovered the odor of escaping gas. She immediately | located it in a back bedroom on the ground floor, where her husband slept. On opening the door leading to his bed- room she was horrified to find him lying dead on the bed, fully dressed. At his side was an evening paper, which he had evidently been reading, it being his cus- tom for years. +he last seen of the deceased was at 11 o’clock on Saturday night when the fam- ily returned home from the theater. He was then lying on a lounge asleep, and not caring to disturb his rest he was per- mitted to remain there. It is thought that during the night he changed his position from the lounge to the bed to finish his reading. Becoming tired he turned out the gas, but acclden- {nlly turned on the jet, which was old and oose. That his deatn was purely accldental is beyond question, as he had no reason to end his existence. He was happily sur- rounded by a loving wife and nine chil- dren—seven sons and two daughters. The escaping gas nearly proved fatal to a son, Martin kreling, who was asleep in an adjoining apartment. The deadly fumes entered a paruy open window and filled the room with {ts sickening odor, making the little fellow 11l and detaining him in bed all day yesterday. The death of Martin Kreling removes the last of four brothers, who were prom- inent in local business circles. An aged father mourns the loss of his four sons, William, who_was at one time Tax Col- lector; John, Joseph and the deceased. That popular place of amusement, the Tivoli, was started by the Kreling tamily at the corner of Sutter and tockton streets, gnd its success resulted in its be- ing moved to its present location. Aside from the theatrical business the Krelin, conducted a large cabinet business in the Mission, which gave them a commercial prominence. —_———— The famous old JESSE MOORE WHISKY is recommended by physiclans for family and medicinal use becaue it is pure. —_— e Ran From the Police.

WHAT THAT WORD IMPLIES SOLDIERS AT CAMP MERRITT WERE NOT DEPRAVED. The Alleged Conspiracies Against the Government of the United States Explained and {2 Ridiculed. “A Boldfer’s Duty to God, as Well as to His Country” was the subject of an inter- esting and instructive lecture by Father Yorke last evening before a large audi- ence of soldiers at the Catholic Truth Society’s tent at the Presidio. The main object of the lecture was to show that in addition to obeying the com- mands of the officers of the army the sol- dier should remember his religion and obey the duties required by it. In speak- ing of the repulsion which a common sol- dier is forced ‘to experience and undergo in saluting his superior officer and treat- ing him with more respect than is af- forded himself, he said: *“It is not the man you look to so much as the people and the country which he represents. It is the flag and what it stands for that you should take pleasure in saluting while recognizing your supe- rior and paying him every respect. “By the same manner in which you ten- der your duty to your officers you’should endeavor to conform to and practice the duty you owe God. No man who does his duty to his God can be a bad soldier. “It {8 not for me to explain in de- tail,” he continued, “what your duty is. If we want to be a great army of soldiers we must naturally expect to have a su- perior, a head, as it were, to govern over all. People daily will tell of your misdo- ings told through the medium of the press and of thelr wagging tongues, but this goes for naught when you know that what is said is not true and that you are loyal ‘to your nation and loyal to your od. “When there Is the slightest trouble at the camp there is a tremendous outcry that soldlers are becommg insubordinate and disgracing the army by their misdo- ings. It is a pleasure, notwithstanding ublic comment, to review the conduct, n its truth, of the volunteers and regulars of the United States army quartered at the Presidio. There was some eoutcry about the moral condition of Camp Mer- ritt and the outrages practiced there by the soldiers. Stories of insults being tend- ered children and women became topics conversation. The public, through varfous sources, began to view the place with horror and repulsion. “Such stories and lies as these were in- No better evidence than from the ladies of the Catholic Truth Sgciety, who aver that during their long-continued work in the camp they had not recéfved even as much as an indic: tion of an insult from any soldler quar- tered there. They have always been as gentlemanly as they would have been in their own homes in the presence of their mothers and sisters. No matter what a man may do or how much his character may be belied by others he has nothing to fear but his conscience and his Re- deemer. “Whether you cross the seas to join your comrades on the fleld of battle or| whether you remain at home, remember | that you are defenders of your country wherever you are and receive the honar as though you had gone through the bat- tles fought. You should not only remem- ber that you have taken & vow to protect the flag, but a vow to support it. “Those outside the Catholic faith say that we are conspiring against the Gov- ernment and hold all sorts of meetings to cause its overthrow in dark cellars and other mysterious plac 1f we plot and conspire for this country we do it for its | good. When peace is declared and you | £o back to your homes and the people there talk about us in the old way, re- member that we have done everything in | our power—and we have tried to do our | best. This you can understand, boys, | when you look into the faces of the good women_who have done so much to aid you and watch over your welfare by mak- sible. In conclusion, I would ask that God take you in His safe keeping wher- ever you are. I hope the day will soon come when peace shall be declared, that you may return to your homes and form- er avocations.” LIGHT ON POLK STREET. Electricity Has Taken the Place of Gas Lamps. Two years ago the Polk-street mer- chants, appreciating the necessity for better street lighting, organized in a body and determined that they would give the citizens an object lesson in modern street illumination by suspending arc lights over the center of the street. It was a brilliant success, so much so that it was adopted by almost every street improve- ment _club in the city, and for six months San Francisco presented a modern and progressive appearance on its public thor- oughfares. Since that time many of the merchants on that street have continued at thelr own expense the lighting by elec- tricity. The Merchants’ Assoclation, always allve to the best interests of the city tage of well lighted streets, determined that when the contract with the city for street lighting expired it would demand a modern system of street lighting for all the business thoroughfares, and prepared a schedule for that purpose, which has since been adopted by the city. Through the efforts of the Merchants' Association, Polk street, in recognition of its being the one that inaugurated the new system of street lighting in the city, was selected as the first street to be lighted, and last evening was ablaze from Sutter street to Vallejo. This effort of the Merchants’ Association is fully appreciated and duly acknowledged by all the merchants of Polk street. —_———————— SCOTS WILL BE THERE.
