Schorr entered his great | | three-year-old, Joe Frey. | This race, the fourth on the card, was over the mile route, Tommy Burns pilot- | ing Joe Frey, the winner, and Tod Sloan | once more mounted on Articulate. From | post to wire both these three-year-olds | hoofed their sticky way in as pretty a | mateh race as has ever been seen .t the | Tanforan track. Little time was wasted at the post, Burns getting away a length ahead of Sloan, who seemed anxious to | take the wake at the start. Burns held | the rail throughout the e, and his judg- | ment of pace and his careful, sure riding was perb. Up the back stretch both neck and neck. The crowd in the stand roared first for one and then for the oth- | er, for it was either race. When the | fast moving equines turned into the | stretch Articulate had the advantage by | ad and it was the only time that | rey was drum majored. Then came | finish. Frey, full of strength, game- | s and speed, darted out. Burns seemed | anxious and he looked behind him only to find Sloan riding easily and cunningly sure of his race. But this was bravado on | Sloan’s part. He knew full well that his | mount could not overtake Joe Frey and | he worried Tommy Burns, who then | started 1o drive. Both riders lashed their horses down the stretch and when the | wire was reached the daylight showed a thin ribbon between Joe Frey and Ar- ticulate Bur rode a clever race and the same | can be said for Sloan. Joe Frey, who at- tached the $1200 purse, proved by this mile | run that he is one of the best, if not the best, colts now working in Califorrig. The | time was 1:42, two seconds slower than the track record, but the going was pasty Articulate was a 7-10 favorite and a block of money was bet on Joe Frey at 6-5.

EXECUTORS DISAGREE AS TO BROWN’'S SANITY Judge Coffey i5 at present hearing a will contest of unusual interest. The question- ed testament is.that of John Brown, at one time sexton of Calvary Presbyterian Church, who died in_ Napa Asylum August 6, 1900. His will was filed for pro- bate and bears date of February 19, 1898, being executed about two years and a half prior to his death. Therein decedent's widow and his stepson, Willlam C. Brown are named as aaministratrix and adminis. trator. A son, George T. Brown, is be- queathed $10, Mrs. Brown, his widow, is given all household effects, money and other personal proerty, and the residue is ordered divided among William C. Brown, Mrs. Sarah Jane Walker, a daughter, and A. S. Waiker, a grandson. v Mrs. Brown in her petition presenting the will for probate avers that the de- ceased was of unsound mind when he exe- cuted the testament. She asks, however, that the court hear all the evidence bear: ing on the issue thus raised and then ad- mit the will to probate or reject it as is ust and proper. Her co-executor, Wil- jam C. Brown, denies the allegation of insanity and s that the will be ad- mitted. Mrs. Brown is not supported in her he- lief that her husband was insane when he executed the will by Rev. John Hemphill, in whose church Brown labored for years. Rev. Mr. Hemphill testified yesterday that he believed that at the time the will was executed deceased was of sound and dis- posing mind. 8. H.

L CINCINNATI, Feb. 13.—There is every Indication that the proposed boxing match Will niot be pulled off at Saengerfest Hall next Friday. There is as much doubt about the time:and place as there is about the deciston of Judge Hollister that is to be rendered to-morrow noon. Sporting writers from all gver the country arrived to-day and besieged the guarters of the fight managers, but nobody could make any definite statement. As soon as Judge Hollister renders his decision these man- agers will have a conference and will lay belfeved here that any troops will reach CUT IN THE NECK IN A SALOON ROW Michael B Holman Inter- feres to Protecta Woman | and Is Wounded. | | Michael B. Holman, a carpenter living S3TA Mission street, was cut in the neck William Hammit, a painter living at | 8 Gough street, during a row over a wo- man in'a rear room of Herman Boese at 81 ] | day atternoon. Holman was drinking at the bar, when a woman entered and asked him to give her a drink, with which request he com- plied. Hammit was also standing at the bar and he and the woman entered into | conversation and then they went’into a rear room. A minute later Holman heard her scream. e pushed. open the door and asked what was the matter. Hammit told him to mind his own business and with an oath stabbed him in the neck with a putty knife which he grabbed from his vest pocket, severing an artery. Holman grappled with him and a des- perate struggle ensued for the possession of the knife. Boese, the saloon-keeper, and Fred Cr an expressman, ran to Holman's ce. During the struggle the knife was broken and Hammit cut his left hand with it before it was forced from him by Boese and Craig. By this time Holman had fainted from lo6ss of blood and it was thought that his jugular had been severed. He was taken to his home and a physician summoned who found that an artery, but not the jugular, had been cut. Hammit and the woman left the saloon after the cutting. Hammit went to his brother's drug store at Gough and Market streets and_had his wounded hand at- tended to. He was later arrested by De- tective Crockett on Fourth street. On the way to the City Prison Hammit tripped ¢, the detective and attempted to make his escape, but falled. He claimed that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing when he cut Holman. He gave the name of Peter Metz when registered on the detinue book, but later acknowl- edger his true rame. Attorney Ward of the District Attor- ney's office wus sent to take Holman's ante-mortem statement, but he found it was$ unnecessary, as Holman was not in a dangerous condition. ~Holman came from Los Angeles with his wife recently and two months ago attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a dose of laudanum because he had lost his money by gam- bling. Hammit will be charged with as- sault to murder. CLEVER AMATEURS WILL BATTLE FOR TROPHIES San Francisco Athletic Club to Hold Its Monthly Exhibition This Evening.

Platt, wife of the Senator from New York. . During the greater part of the day the Seraté was engaged in executive session and in the counting of the electoral vote for ‘the President and the Vice President of the United States. Late In the after- noon consideration of the agricultural ap- propriation bill was resumed, but little progress was made. At a night session, beginning at 8 o'clock, the District of Co- lumbia code bill was read. A resolution providing for the printing of additional copies of the report of the Taft Philippine Commission was agreed to. Pettigrew, while not objecting to the resolution, expressed the opinion that the American 'people were entitied to the facts with respect to the Phfll{ ines. These, he said, the Taft report did not contain. It was a partisan report, made by a par- tisan committee, and he urged that it was Gesigned to conceal the facts and convey | a false impression to the people of the situation in the Philippines. Foraker, chairman of the Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico, called up a bill_relating to the retirement of the Hawaliian coinage and currency. He ex- plained that the old Hawalian Govern- ment had issued $1,000,000 of silver coins in dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes. Against $272,000 of the amount sil- ver certificates had been issued, the $272,- 000 of silver being retfined in ‘the tre: ury. The purpose of the bill was to sub- stitute silver coins of the United Btates for the Hawallan coins, both being: of the same weight and degree of fineness. ““The bill is all right.” interjected Cock- rell of Mlnouri.t t was passed without further comment. Senators Hale, Chandler and Tillman were named as conferees on the naval ap- propriation bill. ‘At 2:20 o'clock the Senate again went into executive session. « At 4:15 o'clock the doors were opened and consideration of the agflcultun.l ap- propriation bill was resumed. The amend- ment relating to the seizure of imported foods, drugs and liquors in case they should be found to be adulterated inju- riously, which was discussed at length yesterday, was agreed to. ~ When_the committee amendment pro- viding for the mapping of the soils of the United States was reached, Teller pro- tested that no such project ought to be authorized. 1t would prove to only a gigantic task, useless as to practical re- wa aying at a variety show. He has not returned the watch, and she has now discovered that he pawned it. The oldest British colony in Australia is New South Wales.

X ) ARMY PROMOTIONS ARE CONFIRMED Bates, Wood, Grant and Bell Advanced to Rank of Brigadier General PRSTRESEE WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—The Senate held two executive sessions to-day, with the result that all the Presidential nomi- nations to the office of brigadier general were confirmed. The nominations which caused discussion were those of Generals Bates, Wood, Grant and Bell. Senator Pettigrew criticized General Bates’ nomi- nation, because that officer had nego- tiated the Sulu treaty, which treaty he attacked sharply. Senators Teller ana Rawlins also joined in the criticism’ of the Sulu treaty. They referred especially to its recognition of the institutions of slavery and polygamy, which, they claimed, was repugnant to the tastes of the people of this country, as well as to the constitution. No one, however, made objection to General Bates’ confirmation when the time for a vote was reached. The criticism of General Wood was con- fined to the fact that his military record is not extended.
