At that time the sun's heat had been replaced by cool breeges. Even then there were few horsemen who Jlooked for a mile better than 2:06. | After ha\'iné been given several prelim- inary miles, George Ketchum came out with the stall to attempt what seem- ed an impossible feat. Ketchum nodded for the word in the third score, the horse trotting like a machine. Accompanied by & runner, the chestnut stallion fairly flew | 1o the quarter, the timers’ watches regis- tering just 80 seconds. As Cresceus swung into the back stretch he was joined by a second runner, and, although many pre- dicted that the footing was such as would retard his speed, he reached the half hen the time was hung out the im-| mense crowd broke into cheers. The three-quarter pole was reached in 1:81%, and as the great stallion trotted into the stretch, & runner on either side, his fric- tionless, machine-like stride was fairly eating up the distance. Never faltering. notwithstanding the terrific clip, he fairly flew to the wire, not being touched once by the whip, his sole urging being the driver's voice and the thundering hoof | beats of the accompanying ruaners. | When the time for the mile was an- | nounced, 2:02%, the immense crowd fully | realized that a new world's record had | been established.

C., July 26.—What is probably the only telephone system in the world to be operated entirely by Indlans is being installed in the village of Kish- Ple-Axe, in Northern British Columbla. The system is to be connected by a twen- ty-mile telephone wire from the telegraph office at Hazelton, half way between Ash- croft and Atlin. Kish-Ple-Axe is the largest settlement of Indians in the northern interior. There are more than 1000 men in the big camp. Recently a telegraph line was bullt by the Dominion Government from Port Simpsen, on the coast, to Hazelton. at the headwaters of the Skeena River. The In- dians along the route are intelligent men, engaged much In fishing on the coast Only by connecting Hazelton with the big | settlement at Kish-Ple-Axe could the tele- graph line be made of use to them. Now telegraph messages may be transmitted right to their wigwams. The money for the system was sub- scribed entirely by the Indians. The Rev. Indlan missionary, pur- chased the outfit and to-day an Ameri- can electriclan left for the north to put the finishing touches on the system and {nstruct the Indians in operating it. There will be more than 100 telephone wires con- nected with the dwellings of the more in- fluential Indians who have put up the money for the new service. The braves are jubilant over the innovation and con- sider it a great movement in the educa- tion of their sons and daughters in the ways of clvilization. TONS OF DEAD FISH ON THE LAKE SHORE Wholesale Destruction of Carp in the Chabot Reservoir at Oakland. Oakland Office San Franclsco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 2. Tons of fish have been killed by dyna- mite by order of Manager Arthur L. Ad- ams 6f the Contra Costa Water Company, who has determined to exterminate all the carp In Lake Chabot. The edict that the carp must go was issued after consul- tation with the Game Commissioners, to whom it was explained that the finny den- izens of the lake were making a nulsance of themselves by burrowing in the mud and spoiling the water. The carp were further charged with harrying to death the trout and bass with which the com- pany has been trying to stack the lake. At first the attempt was made to get the fish all out with dragnets, and 15000 of them were taken in this way and shipped to a San Francisco glue factory. 'his method was found to be too slow, and, in addition, it roiled the water. Then it was found that the receipts from the sale of the fish were not paying for the work of catching them. So Manager Adams de- cided to make them up into fertilizer and to kill them with dynamite instead of tak- ing them out alive. After a stick of the explosive is set off under the water hundreds of dead carp come to the surface and are gathered up. They are then buried in trenches, whence they will be taken and sold after decay- ing. When the carp are all cleaned out of the lake it will be stocked with trqut and black bass. Licensed to Wed.

He was advised agalnst making the trip, as it was considered too dan- gerous, but he would not be dissuaded. He started in 1888, accompanied by two Europeans and three natives. They land- ed on the west coast of Borneo and tray- eled along the banks of th <ol- boas into the Interior of the f.‘u'I.TE."&‘, | Kolboas. Here he was stopped b; and told he could go no nrlhe);-.n.'ggee; allowed him to remain with them, how- ever, and the Dayak tribes became friendly with him after he had treated them for malaria, from which they all seemed to suffer. They finally granted him permission to continue his journey.

The thieves, not con- tent with relieving him of his gold watch, knocked him down, beat him over the head with a revolver and kicked him in a brutal manner. Cullen reported the hold-up to the po- lice and then went to the Emergency Hos- pital to have his wounds dressed. His scalp was lacerated in several places, one of his eyes was completely closed and his body badly bruised. Cullen, in telling of the robbery and assault, said: “The men must have followed me from a Market-street restaurant. I walked up Market street after leaving the eating house to Larkin and along Larkin to Golden Gate avenue. I was walking along the avenue and had just passed Polk street, when a man jumped out in front of me, pointed a pistol at my head and sald, ‘Give me that rock.” By the rock he meant my diamond scarf pin. I had taken it out of my tie after leaving the restau- rant and put it in my pocket, which is proof that they followed me from there. Hardly had the footpad made the demand when he was joined by two other men, and the three jumped me. They kicked me and punched me and the man with the | pistol struck me on the head several times with it. “Some one of the three grabbed my watch and then the trio ran away.” As soon as the robbery was reported several police officers hurried to the scene of the crime, but were unable to locate any of the thugs. Owing to the darkness Cullen was unable to see the men plain enough to describe them clearly. @ ririisinieieieieieieiriie b @ SLAND ARMY TIES OF Wit MANILA, July 2.—General Hughes ca- bles the news of the first surrender of in- surgents in the island of Samar, 500 men, with two field guns, thirty rifles and sev- enty bolos, giving themselves up to the authorities.

TEEPLE IS A KLEPTOMANIAC Further Search of Her Home Brings to Light Many Costly Garden Pots During the Past Two Years From Residences o+ AKLAND, July 26.—Police detec- tives, armed with warrants, to- day arrested Mrs. Mary C. Tee- ple and Mrs.. E. C. McConnell, her sister, to whose residence, 30 Sixth street, was traced by trail of earth a lot of jardinieres which had been stolen from the residence of John K. Orr at 149 Elghth street. The warrants were sworn to by Orr, who demanded that there should be a thorough investigation of the disclosures made by the successful search for his missing garden pots. The revela- tions to-day have thrown a strange color upon what the police declare is one of the most remarkable cases ever brought lo their attention. Besides the jardinieres, flower pots, val- uable plants and the like that the detec- tives found at the Teeple home yesterday, there was uncovered to-day nearly two score more of such ornaments, of all sorts of sizes, shapes and manufacture, that were hidden in trunks and out of the way corners in the cellar. All of these were removed to the police statlon, where not a_ few were identified by prominent peo- ple as having been stolen from their gar- dens during the past year and a half. Work of a Kleptomaniac. That the thefts were the acts of a klep- tomaniac the police are convinced. They beljeve that Mrs. Teeple is responsible for most of the purloining, but they can find no reason for the thieving save that the unfortunate woman is afflicted with an un- controllable desire to steal. The case ap- peals even to the hard-headed detectives as pathetic. When they were sent on their unpleasant mission this morning Mrs. Teeple was found hugging her baby of nine months and in a state of neryous prostration. Her husband, Harry C. Tee- le, a Southern Pacific Company conduc- or, home from a run, was astounded at the revelatlons. He declared absolute ig- norance of the manner in which the stolen wares had been taken into his home. ‘‘As soon learned of this dreadful occurrence," he sald, “T went through the house myself and found many of the hid- den vases and pots, all of them being gent at once to the police statlon, While 1 feel positive that many of them were purchased by my wife, I do not want one of them in my house. My wife {8 in a terrible condition, and T fear she will try to commit suicide. I cannot imagine what is_the trouble.” So far as the arrest of the sister is con- cerned, the police explain that Orr de- manded that both women should be ac- cused, because they were both in the house when his stolen goods were discov- ered, and neither of them gave satisfac- tory explanations. Mrs. McConnell recently returned from an Eastern trip. Mrs, M. Carroll, mother .%WW. HALF-FARE ORDINANCE 18 PARTIALLY EVADED Complaint was made to Mayor Phelan yesterday that the Sutter-street Railway Company was not complying with the terms of the ordinance providing for half- fares for school children recently passed by the Board of Supervisors. A lady giv- ing the name of Mrs. Hastings informed his Honor that the officials of the road were imposing onerous conditions upon puplls who desired to avafl themselves of the half-fare privilege not specified in the ordinance. ‘Mrs. Hastings, who has a son attending the Grant School, alleges that puplls are compelled to write their signatures in the office of the company, whereas the ordin- ance provides that the grlnclp.lu of the schools shall certify to the correctness of the signatures of pupils. Another cause for complaint is that the conductors on the road have been in- structed not to accept the half-fare tick- ets from puplls who get on the car before school is let out. As a consequence of the company's action puplils living along the lines of - the Sutter-street railway are declining to take advantage of the ordinance and are paying full fare. The Mayor will call the matter to the atten- tion of the Board of Supervisors to ascer- tain if the ordinance is being violated, and if so steps will be taken to compel the line to comply with its provisions. —_———————— Oakland Divorce Cases.

A number of pleces of pottery among the vases and pots found at the Teep residence were identified to-day by t owners. Miss Edna Shafter Orr, daught of J. K. Orr, found the jardinieres th: had been_stolen from their resldenc: Mrs. A. M. Wilkinson, residing at 1% Elghth street, recognized several jars she had recently lcst. From East Oakland came H. Abrahamson, who identified sev- eral pieces of ornamental pottery that had been stolen from his residence. Miss A. C. Drynen found a large blue jar that was stolen ag{elr and a half ago from her home at Tenth street. Mrs. T. A. Crel- lin_secured a Japanese dwarf oak which had been taken from her residence, 136% Jackson street, and also recovered two large jardinieres that were removed from the entrance to her home several months ago. firs. Thomas Hagan, who resides at 848 Oak street, uncovered one large garden ot which had been stolen from her resi- ence. Former Mayor M. C. Chapman identified two large terra cotta pots that had formerly stood on the front porch of his residence. The police have no doubt that many more will be identified by the owners. Detectives Are Mystified. The detectives are as yet undecided as to the way the thefts were accomplished. Some of the jars filled with earth, weighed 140 pounds. That a slender wom- an of Mrs. “g“‘ physique could have carried them off seems incredible to the olice, who feel positive that if she were he thief there must have been assistance ‘|ven in her strange marauding expedi- ons. Teeple is practically exculpated by the detectives, and as to actual connection with the thefts Mrs. McConnell is not se- riously considered. Her actions in trying to shield some one when the police in- vaded the residence yesterday were such that she was jointly accused with her sis- ter, Teeple retained Attorney George E. de Golla to defend his wife and sister. Bail was furnished for their appearance In court. “‘Mrs. Te:rla is undoubtedly a klepto- maniac,” said the attorney. “She had ac- cumulated these vases and jars, many of them, In her house as ornaments. Her husband belleved she had purchased them, and thinking she had a fad for that sort of thing made no objection. He knew nothing of the stuff that was hidden in the trunks, and it was not until after the disclosures of yesterday that he gave any thought to what might be in the cellar. Then he uncovered everything he could find to turn over to the police." Acting Chlef of Pollce Wilson said: “This "case {3 truly remarkable. The woman_could have had no incentive to steal. She does not seem to have disposed of y of the property to her own advan- t Much of It was buried away in a cellar, where it could not be of use to any one. The detectives say that Mrs. Teeple always told her husband that the jardinieres, which she displayed about the house, had been purchased. It is one of those cases that e the police and the medical men something to ponder over." The Baggage Solicitors’ Union No. 1975, through its president, Fred W. Ketler- man, will file charges to-day with the Board of Harbor Commissioners against Chief Wharfinger Percy Henderson, alleg- ing that he is a member of a transfer company doing business on the water front and that he has discriminated against certain transfer companies in the pursuit of legitimate business. The complaint drawn up by the unlon alleges that Henderson is lymemher of the “‘Oceanic fer Company"” and that he allows his alleged partners, Cur- tin, Bailey and Leramen, to seek business on ‘Broadway and Oceanic docks, while in his capacity as Chief Wharfinger he does not allow the cumdvll.lnants or their friends to enter the docks to seek cus- tomers.
