T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1901 ENEMIES FORCE MINISTER HOME Loomis Leaves Venezuela Because of Government’s Hostility. Erobability That Pension Commis- | sioner Evans Will Receive Place Vacated by Representative in South America. | Special to The Call | Dispatch CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, X.| W., WASHINGTON, April 1.—Ministe Frank B. Loomis is on his way home from | Venezucla, not because of a controversy | over the asphalt concessions there or be- | cause of the revolutionary tendencies in | the country. The American Minister has | in some way incurred the hostility of the | official and unofficial press at Caracas, ui not that of the ¢ tro vernment, until | is presence in Caracas is of no adv tage to the United States, but rather an embarrassment. He nas asked for a leave | of absence, which has been granted. He | has been instructed to come home for | consultation with the President and Sec- retary of State. Untll he reaches Wasa ington, some time next weea and th conference has been held, no course of ac- tion toward Venezueia will be determine upon. The asphalt controversy has been a puz- zling one because both concessionaries a; Americans, claiming the protection of this Government while they are at war with each other. But this controversy, while being the original cause of irritation, h: no part in the recall of Minister Loomus. Venezuela stands in a peculiar relation to the United Sfates because of the atti- | tude this Government took in regard fo | the Venezuelan boundary question. We took a risk of war with Great Britain to | assert the Monroe doctrine and protect | Venezuela from the aggression of Gres Britain. We insisted that Great Britain ghould submit her case to arbitration. Now the administration feels some deli cacy in bringing Venezuela to sharp a count because of what it has done for the care little republic. It the impression abro: States compelled Engl to giv does mot a off* in order that w e arb trary authority over Venezuela. thought that the absence of the United Btates Minister from the Venezuelan cap! tal may cool the judgment of the author ties there. Owing o the indignitie put upon him in Caracas it is inferred in administration cir that Minister Loomis will not care to return to Caracas. His ill-health may indeed prevent his r which have been turn » the capita In case it probable that H. Clay E now Com- missioner of Pensions, will be sent Minister to Venezuela.

TACOMA, April 1.—Ed Farrell and Dan | Lennan, who robbed Thomas and Joseph | ston last week, have been | 1l is in jail at North Yak- tma n is in the Spokane ho pital. Both robbers have been identified | and their numerous wounds show that they were badly used by their intended victims. The Taylors were en route to Baker City, Or., when a cked by the masked robk Joseph had left the freight train and was walking about to keep warm when they attacked him. took his mone: and forced him with revolvers to climb upon the train. Later the Taylors and the robbers met i the center of a loaded coal car, where a desperate fight ensued. | Each brother attucked a robber and beat | him with chunks of coal. Lennan was | thrown from the train into a ditch, but soon returned. having caught on the rear | end of the freight train. He began shoot- | ing at Taylors, who were beating his | partner. Lennan was again conauered and thrown overboard, breaking his hin. He was pick- ed up later and taken to Spokane.

Frank Bell performed badly and Sad Sam was nosed out for third position by Hagerdon. Those in on the know placed a well defined crimp in the ring over the winner's improved showing.

Flora Pomona and Lena were the star long shots. The highly touted Cruzados fell by the wayside in the two-year-old scrambie at four furlongs. The Emperor of Norfolk colt was played down from even to 7 to 10, with O'Connor up.. He was slow to get in motion, breaking from the inside, and could get no closer up at the finish than fourth. In a hard drive Flora Pomona beat Lucien Appleby a head, with E. W. Brattain a close third. » Burns and Waterhouse's Toguish brown horse Gibraltar concluded to show what he could do, and in the six-furlong sell- ing event stepped -off the distance cleverly in 1:13. Hermoso made quite a splurge out in front until well into the stretch, handling, passed him. Maggie Davis, the favorite, would have been second buf for O’Cennor’s persistency in trying to get | througa on the rail. Lena, at odds of 15 to 1, upset all cal- | culations in the mile and a’ furlong selling air. J. Ransch had the mount on the 1d mare, and in front from the start, ran in an easy winner over the favorite, Bar- rack Redwald found the route too far, finishing a fair third. Topmast made a poor showing after a bumpy vovage. Completely outclassing the other start- ers, Beau Ormonde enjoyed a cake-walk | in the fifth number, over seven furlongs. Held a 1 to 6 choice the colt breezed home half a. dozen lengths ahead of Compass and Merida. Pat Dunne’s three-year-old, Benson | Caldwell, ran most disabpointingly in the | concluding mile selling event. He was heavily bet on at 6 to 5, and displaying no speed, finished last of the four starters. Bernota easily assumed the lead, win- ning as he liked from Tony Lepping. —_———— Track Notes. J. Ransch piloted two winners finished second on Compass. R. Murphy tried rating Sad Sam with il success. Frank Bell also became lost in the same shuffle. Alice Turner made her reappearance after a long rest. She is a fast one when right on_edge. Flora Pomona improved over her last race. O’Connor _is not a good rider, and besides it is Cruzados was a trifie short. Fauntleroy and Wedderstrand had a breezy argument after pulling up at the finish of the mile and a furlong event.

DOUBLES -TOURNAMENT FURNISHES MILD FUN | Members of ths Olympic Club Ex- | change Good-Natured Badinage During Games. It was better than a circus performance at the handball tournament in the Olym- | pié Club last night. If the players who | magde their bow to the well-filled galleries | ever knew the rudiments of the game they | | forgot everything when their fellow mem- | bers opened up on them with good-na- | tured bandinage. | Tom Powers, better known as the| “Irish champion,” and M. Green defeated Guy Ransome and Max Rosenfeld by a score of 51 to 30. It was a long drawn out contest, and" but for the good-natured chaffing the game might have been unin- teresting. The event of the evening was the con- Bock- man against Tim Fitzpatrick and'J. Cun- ninghum. The latter team won by a scare of 51 to-43’ Throughout the contest the | gallery - appealed -to Cunningham to achieve a victory, and he responded no- | bly. ‘In their effort to win Fitzpatrick and | Cunningham played all over.the court and used strokes that would have brought joy | to an irishman’s heart. Bockman was hit | on the head with the ball, but it never | feased him. Shortall played hard to n | a victory,.but luck and Johnny Cunning- ham were against him. 2. % Chariey 'Meirose and T, ;8levin had an easy time defeating W. Cavanagh and’R. J. Forbes, The score was 5F to 30. £ To-morfow night the following players will strive for victory: . Fritz Wegner and R. Cornell (all 2 aces) Vs. W., Kennedy and Oatie Crable (scratch). 4. Malion and J. Tait (scratch) vs. H. and T. Kennedy (scratch). Nat Hewson and A. Duffy (seratch) Russ. B. ¢ 2 J. Gleason .and L. Levy (scratch) Powers and M. Green (15 aces). The handball committee intends dis- qualifying teams if the players are not ready to play at the appointed hour. The | first_ team must begin play at 8 o'clock sharp to-morrow night, and if there are any delays a default will be entered against the infringing team. ve. !

Francis testified that she had known Patrick since January, 1893. Pat- rick bearded with her at the ‘time of his arrest. She was also acquainted with Da- vid L. Short and Merris Meyers and with Potts, all of whom have figured in the case. Patrick occupied the back parlor in her house. She herself had no stated room,. she said, in reply to a question by Mr. Osborne. “When did Patrick. begin to speak to you about Mr. Rice?” asked Mr. Osborne. “I decline to answer, on the advice of v lawyer,” witness replied. n what ground?’ asked Mr. Osborne. “On the ground that it would incrim- inate,” Mrs. Francis answered.

Understand, not Patrick, nor Short, nor Meyers, nor anybody else but yourself.” - The witness thought a while. “I do think it would tend to incriminate me,” she finally said. There was some fnore argument, and Mrs. m; | inally Justice Jerome said: “If the witness is willing to place her- gelf in such a position in the community as she does through her testimony I don't see that I can compel her to answer. She is an intelligent woman and fully under- stands this question. Are you willing to stand in that light?” Justice Jerome add- ed, turning to witness. ¥1 am,” witness said. ¥t came out in the testimony that the witness had been told by a lawyer that if she said anything favorable to Patrick the District Attorney would have her arrest- ;g.

TACOMA, April 1.—The booty ‘of a daring and successful burglar has been unearthed in a sandbank on the shore of Palouse River, near Colfax, by Adam Weitz. The find consisted of eleven gold watches, eighteen gold rings and other valuables. They were done up in tobacco sacks and evidently had been buried in the sand years ago. The recent high water uncovered them. The watches are badly damaged, some of the works having entirely rusted out. Jewelers say that the value of the goods when new was not less than $1000. The police at Colfax are of the opinion that the jewelry was stolen from some jewelry store six or eight years ago and that the burglar either died, was sent to the peni- tentiary for a long term or forgot his hiding place. it HALF-MILLION IN CASH FOR HIS COPPER MINES Martin Castello Relieved From Grand Jury Long Enough to Close the Sale.

HIS LOST LAURELS Oscar Gardner Intends Training Faith- fully for His Coming Bout With McGovern,- the Brooklyn Wonder - SCAR GARDNER is a formidable fighting machine when stripped for the fray.

Gardner is only 29 years old, but he has been in the ring for the past twelve years. During his long career he has won innumerable battles. His record of victories is a long one. The cleverest men at his weight have gone down in de- feat before him. True, he has met defeat at the hands of McGovern, but as better and heavier men have done likewise, this is not a disgrace.

He has clever Joe Bernstein to work with him. Bernstein has had the distinction of fight- ing McGovern on two occasions. Both Gardner and Bernstein are familiar with Terrible Terry’s style of boxing, and this, they think, will stand Gardner in good stead at the next meeting. Bernstein is also the retired champion 115-pound wrest- ler. During the training of Gardner, both men will engage in heavy mat work, to accustom Gardner to the aggresslive style that McGovern assumes.
