PONTER FLS TO BREAK I RECORD But Goes a Mile Within Two Minutes.. : HANDICAPPED BY CONDITIONS IMMENSE CROWD WITNESS THE GAME EFFORT, Exciting 2:09 Pace at the Readville (Mass.) Track Won by Frank Bogash After Five Fast Heats. Special Dispatch to The Call. READVILLE, Mass., Sept. 1—On the same track on which he made the record time last year—1:59%—Star Pointer to-day again tried for a world’s record of a mile in harness, but failed to equal his per- formance by half a second. The enormous crowd saw. a mile in less than two minutes, and it is -safe to say that with slightly different conditions the resord would have again been broken. An hour ‘before Pointér came out it rained softly for a few minutes, and when, at § o'elock, McCleary drove on the track, the drops were still coming down. - The track, however, was in good shape, and there was no wind. With a running mate Pointer made the quarter in :29%, which gave encourage- ment, and with the half in :59 1t looked as if he would do something terrific. ~The terrific pace was kept up to the . three- quarter pole, which was reached in 1:28%, and then came the question of -endurance. The great horse was urged: all through the homestreich, but 'he did not quite reach the wi in time. The ternoon's sport was the best of the wee and drew the largest crowd ever seen at Readville, fully 10,000 persons be- ing p: ent. The 2:09°pace, after ' Pointer, was ‘the great attraction of the afternoon; and the crowd saw some firie racing ‘in’ the five Little Bumbs fought gamely in three of them, but each timé the son of Baron Wilkes was caught at.the wire, the first time by Roan Wilkes, the second by Planet and:th the latter finally ta ) king the race. Bumbs had to be tisfied with fourth mone; Chehalis the favorite at the begin- ning of the race, but Frank Bogash car- { ried him off “his feet in the second heat { and came near doing it agdin in the third.

HIS SIGNATURE A NECESSITY SAN QUENTIN OFFICIALS AID rado Prison—Holds the Key to Distribution of a Rich Uncle’s Estate, Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call, SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Sept. 1.— After a long and fruitless search, ex- tending over nearly the whole of this vast American continent, three. Ger- man girls have finally cbtained a defl- nite clew to the whereabouts of their only: brother, one of -the -heirs to a large fortune left b the death of a Wwealthy uncle:in Berlin. = But ‘another discovery has transformed their' joy into sorrow. Their brother: turns out 10 be a common - jailbird, with the brand of a felon on -his brow: Yet, in order to obtain thelr share of large fortune left by the death of a tive, this brother's signature to a cer- ‘tfun document- {s an absolute neces- sity. In the year 1890 a man named George Bloch- was sent to San Quentin from San Francisco for burglary. By his fellow - convicts -~ he . was termed “Blackie” on account of his swarthy complexion. He proved to be a pris- oner ‘of the most intractable type and was a “dope fiend.” © O'Connor, who has held the position of carpenter at the prison for nearly thirty years, met “Blackig” frequently, and the convict, | on account of stmall favors, grew to be | his fast friend. One day in August, 1892, Bloch con- fided to his friend that he ‘had a wealthy uncle In -Beise . City,. Idaho, named Fletcher. He said he wished to write this uncle for money, but did not wish him to know he was in prison, 0 would ask the unclé to send the money to O’Connor for-the pretended reason that he (Bloch) was:seldom in one place long, and O'Connor. would ;muw where to forward the: money to im. The plan worked well and In a short time O’Connor received a check in Bloch’s favor for $50. When the money arrived the convict was confined in the dungeon for eating oplum and O’Con- nor returned -the money ‘to his uncle with a statement that Bloch found he did not need it. The convict was re- leased in 1883 and disappeared. About six months ago a wealthy uncle of the ex-convict ‘died in Berlin, leaving a fortune of many thousand dollars, to be divided equally among the nephew and the three nieces. A | clause in the will provided that each one should sign a certain agreement before the money could be partitioned. The sisters notified their Idaho uncle of the facts and he began a search { which led him all over the country fol- | lowing up will-o’-the-wisp clews. Three weeks ago, .in looking over some pa- pers, he found the registered letter in | which the $50 had been returned him by O'Cénnor in 1892, and immediately came to San Quentin. Once here the search seemed as futile as ever, for Bloch had been missing | five years. -O'Connor, . however, took | pity on the gray-headed old fellow, who | was ‘evidently sorely distressed at find- ing his' nephew to be a -law-breaker, and went to Warden Hale for assist- ance in looking up. Bloch’s where- abouts. Patient inquiry at last revealed a definite- clew. A comvict hamed George Wilson, whose term. of ‘sentence ended last Friday, had recélved a let- ter of recent date from a former com- panion in the prison, who was now held for another offense in.the Canyon City | penitentiary of Colorado.” One. of the passages in the letter read as follows: “Do you remember George Bloch, who was"with us in San. Quentin? I mean ‘Blackie.” Well, he is in here, too, “for' the. same old . thing—wasn't slick enough.” ‘When' Fletcher héard this news his joy was .unbounded. He wrote im- mediately to the sisters In Germany and telling O’Connor that if Bloch were found he should recelve a suitable re- ward for his services as detective, took the next’ train for the Canyon City penitentiary. The precious paper re- quiring . Bloch’s sighature went with him. O'Connor is in' daily expectation’ of' a letter recounting the succéss of ‘the. uncle’s quest. s ' BURNED BY CAUSTIC LYEH.. .

Spectal Dispatch to The Call: SAN JOSE, Sept. 1.—Prominent Dem- ocratic leaders got together to-night and decided to appoint a conferénce committee- at to-morrow’s convention to meet with-a like committee from the Populists’ convention. This committee will consist of flve members, with B. D. Murphy as chairman. The Sllver Republicans and Good Government League will also be represented at.the conference. Just what allotment of of- fies will be given the Populists has not been agreed upon, but it is understood the Democrats want the lion’s share. The Populists will only indorse anti- gang Democrats, and will insist upon F. B. Brown for District Attorney. The Democrats have J. H. Campbell booked for the place, and a fight may arise over fllling the office that will pre- vent fusion. The Democratic Convention is con- sidered. to be strongly anti-Rea, but the Boss has made his boast that the delegates must take his_ programme. Rea wants Scheller for Judge and Bol- linger for Sheriff. Whether the con- vention will take these orders remains to be seen. EVENING EXPOSITOR SUSPENDS AT FRESNO FRESNO, Sept. 1L.—Tre Evening Ex- positor, the oldest paper in the county and at one time the most influential Democratic. journal, suspended publica- tion thig afternoon. A. B. Butler, the real owner of the paper, publishes a column editorial explaining the causes of suspension. He states that for two years the paper - has been published by the Fresno Publishing Company which, he | declares, has failed in its mission.’ He | charges that two members of the com- pany were acting in the interests of the outhern Pacific Company, and states | that it were better for it to go down in defeat than wear the collar of the South- erp Pacific. Seeing that they could not control _it, they. deliberately ~plotted to | wreck -1t, he charges. A weekly paper will be published - in the place of the daily.
