Bushnell, Coleman and “Joe” Eppinger left here several weeks ago for Weber Lake, where they beat the thick under- brush for game and whipped the streams for trout. The trio pitched their camp in the mountains back of the lake, many miles from civilization. Eppinger tired of the sport quickly and returned home, leaving his companions to | stay longer. A day or_so later a severe snowstorm set in and Bushnell and Coleman had to | brav. the elements. The snow feil heavily, and before they realized their position. _they were hemmed in. At the inn at Weber Lake It was known that the hunters were camping somewhere back | in the mountains, and when the weather cleared up a searching party was sent out to locate them. They searched for several nd finally located the snowbound n in a lonely canyon. times during the snowstorm and Coleman attempted to make t of the mou to turn Until party reached them they were eginning to think they would never see civilization again.

It was revived successfully on the circuit, which encouraged the ama- teur drivers to_try their hand at the exciting sport. With three or four teams | to start, the event should be an interest- | ing one. It will be best two out of three heats, as will all the other races. The remaining ones are a 2:20 class, 2:40 class and the second contest for the Frank G. O'Kane trophy. | After extended discussion, it was de- | | cided to do Away with the race which it | was intended should be trotted under un- | usual conditions. It will be straight tw {in three heats, as it was believed that | otherwise an injusticé would be done | some owners. The object of the associa- | | tion Is to provide good sport for its mem bers and to increase the number of gen- tiemen drivers. The purse in each race | | will be $100, divided into three moneys of | 60 per cent, 2 and 15. In the cup race J. | C.

RIVERSIDE, Oct. 17.—The Southern California Fruit Exchange and the out- side packers have united to fight rall- road discriminations in transportation. | The Citrus Fruits Growers’, Packers and Shippers’ Association in session here | this afternoon adopted, with but one dis- senting vote, a resolution to carry the fight into the Federal courts if necessary, and the Southern California Fruit Ex- -hange will co-operate. The only dis- senting vote was the Earl Frult Com- pany, which stands for and reaps the enefit of a private car line. The reso- lution is as follows: Whereas, The welfare of any industry de- mands that freight rate discriminations do not exist in any form, and as shipping factors en- gaged In handling the product of the citrus o ards of Californla we view with especial favor any plan promulgated by the carriers that promises relfef from the perntclous and {lle= gal system of rebates from the tariff rates, and will lend our ~~rdial as: ance as Individuals and an oreanization fo any reasomable plan | for the abeolute elimination of freight rate dis- criminations. We believe that the payment of rebates perverts the influence of shipping fac- | tors from the interests of the growers to that of | the carrying lines. We protest against and will | antagonize any plan of the railroad companies | which effects ¢ a partlal elimination of the | rebating and which grants special privileges | to favored Interests through the medium of pri- | vate car lines; and, ¥ Whereas, The present transportation arrange- | ments,as provided for the citrus traffic of 1599 1900, under the pretext of accomplishing the | elimination of frelght concessions, do clearly provide r the special privileges of car lines, | Which privileges have been granted to some shippers and denled to others, and as this in- side advantage, enjoyved by certain interests, can only result 'In disadvaniage to the industry | and the community it supports; therefore be it Resolved, That the policy of the initial lines, as now understood, is openly deflant of the in- terstate commerce laws and inimlcal to the welfare of the Industry, for which reason the powers of the Federal courts should be in- voked to correct the flagrant evils now exist- ing. The Jamaica treaty was considered and a resolution adopted to co-operate with the Southern California Cltrus Traffic, Committee to raise a fund to defeat the’| confirmation of the treaty. This resolu- | tion was sent, with greetings, to the | growers' meeting in session here at the same time. The grawers’ meeting resolv- ed unanimously to levy one-fifth of a -cent per box for the tariff fund. TROUBLES OF MRS. ANNA KLINE RIKERT ‘ President of the Stockton and Tuol- umne Company Involved in Litigation. STOCKTON, Oct. 17.—John McCormick yvesterday recovered judgment in Judge Budd’'s court against the National Se- curity Company for approximately $7000. The suit was an_outgrowth of the litiga- tion over the “‘Woman's Road,” of which Mrs. Rikert was the president, and which was incorporated under the name of the Stockton and Tuolumne Railway Com- pany. McCormick furnished meat for the workmen and advanced money from time to_time to the president of the road. Being convinced that it was a bad debt to have outstanding he began suit to re- cover and got an attachment on a lot of rails which the company had stored | fn this city. Mrs. Rikert was very anx- jous to zet the attachment released and sought the aid of the security company. For the usua! fees and the custody of the | rails the company agreed to reléase the | attachment. The rails would revert to | the custody of the Sheriff in case a judg- ment was secured by the piaintiff. In due time this judgment was secured and demand was made on the security company for the return of the rails. The company could not return them, as’ they had been sold. Suit accordingly followed on the bond. The company may not lose entirely on the deal, as it is presumed that It secured itself out of proceeds of the sale of the rails. Notice of appea! was | SR given. | Want a New Charter. ! i PASADENA, Oct. 17.—To-day President | Daggett of the Board of Trade memorial- | ized the City Council for a new charter, asking that a_committee of three be ap- pointed to look up and draft & new char- ter. He asked the Council to call an elec- tion of the pecple to elect fifteen free- holders, they to call another election on | the charter. The present charter is sixth | class. A special charter is needed, be- | cause now suflicient sewers, parks and other improvements cannot be had, nor | can kindergartens be Introduced in the pubiic schools on account of the fact that | the District Attorrey, who is not In fa- | vor of them, is given too much power. | The Council filed the memorial and ex- pressed a favorable sentiment, but made the objection that sewers and other im- rovements demanded by the Board of rade would cost between half a milllon and a million_dollars. Last Saturday tne ladies of the Shakesepeare Club, the prin- cipal literary organization of this city, met and bound themselves to work for the new charter. e Captain O’Brien Dead.

In later years the big mem- bership of the club has been scattered | among the *annexes.” The wheelme by themselves. The gunmen, s, runners, athletes, handball- play and others all or- had seperate | ganizations within the parent body. Each developed and thrived, but sapped in a degree the life of the big club. It is to bring all the members together in one great body that the affair of Sunday has been arranged. The officers of the various annexes will endeavor to bring out their full strength. The affair was originally suggested by Captain George James. Leader John A. Hammersmith, John Elliott and other di- rectors approved of it and are working 1o make It a success. James W. Coffroth, “Tom" Cunningham and others who were responsible for the success of former out- ings of the Wheelmen, on the same lines, are Interested in the successful outcome | of this venture. The members of the club can go to the rendezvous on either the 8, 10 or 11:30 a. m. boat by way of Sausalito.” The Wheelmen may go on one of the early boats and reach Escalles after a short spin over the road, possibly from San Rafael. @rieos 0o b BOOM IN CHINESE GAMBLING. Four New Fantan Houses Opened for Business. The Chinese quarter of the city fis showing unmistakable signs of being af- fected with the tidal wave of prosperity which is sweeping over the country. The prosperity of Chinatown, however, arises | from a purely local cause—the return of cannery hands from up the coast. The first evidence of an influx of ‘‘easy money”’ is seen in the gambling dens which abound for the delectation of Mor golians, and during the past few weeks the business of these shady houses has been so brisk and they with so little pol Jestial sport finds no trouble in enjoying the pleasures of peegow and fantan. At 4% Waverly place more than $1000 has been expended in ornate decorations of a room where all the Chinese games are played. This place, as well as one at 802 Dupont street and one at 8181 Washington street and one on St. Lou alley. opened its doors to the Chinese ublic during the past week, and reports rom those who have the entree say that fantan has never before boom. The returning canners have saved up quite a respectable sum, and the boom in | Mongolian gambling will last until it has changed hands. ———————— COURT NOTES The inventory and appraisement in the estate of the late J.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 17. The Acme Club will go out of existenca to-morrow. A constable will sell the per- sonal property of the club to satisfy the judgment in favor of the landlords, and the athletic organization which began fourteen years ago in a barn in a back vard, with an old pair of boxing gloves and with DeWitt Van Court for in- | structor, will s into history. | To-day President Fitzgerald of the Re- liance Club received a little note from the Sheriff apprising him of the sale and sug- | gesting that as the athletic furnishings | are not likely to cause much competition, | the Reliance Club migt ¢ becoms | a customer. | _“For several sibl id weeks s +President | Fitzgerald, ‘“‘the boards of directors of | both clubs’ have been discussing the ad- visability of uniting. It been | apparent that two big athle clubs can not_prosper in this city. When the | tachment was levied on the Acme Club | a crisis was reached and things ar at present about two hundred of the b athletes of the Acme Club will come us. There will be no need of any as to con- olidation, and it is better that there be | none. No matter which club went to the | other, the remaining club would have to | assume the indebtedness of the other. { There will be no advantage in a formal | union, because each club has a thorough gymnastic outfit and is well furnished, and if we bought the Acme outfit we could only )re it to replace our own | in years to come, which would not be | good business policy. “There are now about four hundred members of the Reliance Club and since we went into our present fine building mope than one-half of our total indebted- ness has been paid off. With the big ad- dition we shall receive when the Acme Club goes out of existence I anticipate no trouble in maintaining a splendid organization that will win many honors. In several contests, especially in wheel contests, the Acme and Reliance clubs have each nearly scored a victory. With the pick of the two clubs we could have done as we pleased, and that is what I anticipate we shall soon be doing. “lI presume a certain number of the Acme Club will join the new West Oak- land Athletic Club, but I cannot see that this will in any way Interfere with the progress of the enlarged Reliance Club. “With only one big club in town giv- ing boxing exhibitions we shall be able to do better financially in more w: than one. Our dues at presgnt are § and we give about once a month first class boxing contests, charging $1 for admis- sion. Many men in town who joined the | club for the express purpose of seeing these exhibitions quit their membership, preferring to pay a doilar for each en- tertainment. In future it is very prob- able that we may limit these contests to club members."” » Acme Club has run in arrears on e $2400. Abrahamson Brothers, ors, after putting on an attach- ment, reduced the amount of the arrears to $1600 on condition that this sum should be paid at once, and on the same condi tion they also reduced the rent from $175 to $125 per month. The Acme members, | however, who have carried along their club many yvears in the face of great difficulties, decided that it would be use- less to prolong their agony, and that the most_practical and feasible thing to do would be to join the Rellance Club. A committee from each of the clubs was appointed and met this evening in President Fitzgerald's office. The Acnre members who intend to join the Reliance requested that one or two of their in- structors who had been with the club many years should be taken care of by the Reliance. Some of these instructors could hav Reliance Club any time they wished this request was_adjusted without di culty. President Fitzgerald admitted that the records of the Acme Club, from a purely athletic standpoint, were some- what superior to those of the Reliance, and said that with a couple of hundred of the best members of the Acme added | to the Reliance it would guarantee athle: and financial success in its management and would relieve the club from the con- tinual efforts that are necessary to main- tain its present high standing. 1t is expected that many of the Acme members will go to West Oakland. Many of these Acme boys live in that end of town, and as the new club has just in- corporated it will doubtless receive quite a boom by the going of the Acme. At the meeting to-night of the Acme and Reliance committees it was decided that the Reliance should engage Boxing Instructor Kitchen and Wrestling In- structor Paul Carroll of the Acme. —_— e Obnoxious Loading Law. PASADENA, Oct. 17.—President J. H. | Woodworth of the Pasadena Orange- Growers' Association to-day received a re- ply from Manager Edward Chambers of the Santa Fe freight department at San Francisco to the complaint of the growers against the loading edict taking effect No- vember 15. The minimum carload will be 26,000 pounds. The cars used will be 40 and { 36 foot cars. This makes a hardship for buyers and shippers because oftentimes buyers want small lots that cannot now be furnished. They must take large lots or nothing. Woodworth says he will have to grin and bear it. ———— Fire at Elrio. VENTURA, Oct. 17.—Fire destroyed ths general merchandise store of Galvin & Shorten at El Rio last night.
