They were met at the pier by ssistant Djvision Superintendent, W. 8. | Palmer an® Division Trainmaster J. C. Wilder with a special engine and one | coach. Division Superintendent James gler was not in Oakland and could not join the party President Hays wanted to make a com- | plete inspection of the local system to | ast Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley in | order to find out something about the | lines under his management on this side | of the bay. The Oakland local system is Southern Pacific Company and is one of | the most valuable income producers con- | nected with the big railroad. The first visit was made to the West Oakland railroad yards, the headquarters | airing for the division.

The trip was purely one of inspection so that the new head of the company might know something of the local condi- tions that surround the lines under his control and that he might familiarize him- self with the local geography. The party returned -to S8an Francisco in the evening without making any comments upon the conditions existing. The matter of increased ferry service at certain times of the day, of Increased ser- vice to Berkeley and Oakland and of in- creased facilities at the Oakland mole and the West Oakland yards were mentioned as likely to require attention before a great while. The plan for the proposed increase in the ferry service to twenty- minute trips on the broad-gauge route, which has been perfected for some time, but has never ben put into operation, was explained. CHILD’S NAME CHANGED, THRICE IN ONE YEAR Albert Cullen Bray Seems Destined at Last to Find a Permanent Home. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.—It is seldom that a child three years of age is called upon to have its name changed three times within & year. Such, however, is the lot that has fallen to Albert Cuilen Bray. About a year ago the child’s parents disagreed and a suit for divorce followed. Mrs. Bray was granted a decree on the ground of crueity. She was awarded the custody of Albert. Shortly afterward Mrs. Bray consented to the adoption of her child by Blanche M. Taylor and the court entered a decree to that effect. weeks later the father, Archie Bray, flled a petition asking that the appointment be revoked. He claimed his consent had not been obtained and that Mrs. Bray had ex- ceeded her authority in granting the cus- tody of the child to another person. By stipulation it was agreed that the father should take the child. Bray placed his son under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Young. The latter became so at- tached to the little one that they decided 10 adopt him. The father gave his con- sent and a petition was filed asking the court to make the necessary order. The petition came up for hearing to-day before Judge Conrey. The case was con- tinued to obtain the mother’s consent- It is thcught the mother will consent and that the child will soon have a4 permanent home. —_— Prune Warehouse Col.

A R NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—In his charge to | the Grand Jury at Patérson, N. J., Jus- tice Dixon directed the attention of the | Jjurors to “boxing matches” and instruct- ed them to bring indiciments. He said: “It is regarded as a sort of common sport in the various sections of the coun- | and perhaps Passaic County is ‘not from that sport. It is a demoralizing influence and there are ceriainly quite enough of those influences in the com- . and those to whom the enforce. f the laws is intrusted cannot dis- charge their duty better than by exerci ing whatever power they have in the sup- pression of those various influences, Our statutes render prize fighting a misde- by those who actually engage In the fight, but in all those who aid and abet it, and all those who volun- tarily witness it. Now these encounters do not go by the name of prize fights, They are known as ‘boxing matches,’ isplays of pugllistic =il and things of that sort. There is no doubt there may be a boxing match which is not a prize figm. but, so far as my information goes, none of these exhibitions of fistic skill | are anything clse than prize fights, for the object of those who engage in them— | the object of cach—is to disable each oth- | er, and whenever that is the object It| is'a fight. call it by whatever name you | will. It is the characteristic of a fight | that two men engage in an effert with | their hands to Injure each other, So that | if you find evidence of such exhibitions anywhere within the county it would be | your plain duty to indict the participants | engaged in the encounter, those who have | aided and abetted it, and those who have voluntarily witnessed {t. I trust that in this matter you will do your duty.” - CARNEGIE MAY PRESIDE OVER GOLF ASSOCIATION | Among the Possible Candidates to Be Selected by the Nominating Committee. NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—0. W.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Vice President-elect Roosevelt, in an interview on prize-fight- ing, published in the Tribune, said: “Boxing might have been going on in New York right now if the men who had charge of the clubs had handled them with care. They made a mistake by not stopping contests when they had become brutal or when It was manifest .to all that one of the contestants had no possi- ble chance of winning. He cited the ‘Jefiries-Sharkey bout, which he said “‘should have been stoppe it became brutal after that and Shn.rkey had no chance.” Governor Roosevelt characterized the McCoy-Corbett fight as a ‘‘sell-out,”” and added that “there are only a few honest fighters.” PR, W ¢ REVISED FOOTBALL RULES.
