THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15 1901 q FIGRTER CRIBA DIES SUDDENLY Found Dead in Bed After a Mill With “Micky” Dunn. Letters From Australia In- dicate Foul Play as the Cause. Otto Cribb, the Australian pugilist, is dead. This information is contained in the Sydney news advices and in letters received in this city by Cribb’s brother. On the night of July 22 Cribb fought “Micky” Dunn in Sydney before the Gay- ety Athletic Club. The fight lasted nine rounds and ended in a knockout, Dunn being the victor. The next morning Cribb was found dead in bed. In a letter from Otto Cribb’s mother to his brother in this city the charge of foul play is stated as the cause of death. After the post mortem most of the principals concerned in the contest were formally arrested. Cribb’s right name was Alfred Otto Simpson. He was of Jewish extraction and pore quite a reputation in Australia before coming to this country. In this city he first met Frank McConnell, whom he kpocked out in a’'few rounds. Then he was matched with Alec Greggaine’ whirlwind fighter “Dutch” Thurston. In a twenty-round go of fistic churning and flaillike fighting Cribb and Thurston mixed it up incessantly. A draw was the result, and enother match was made and fought, Thurston getting the decisfon. While in this city George Harting was Cribb’'s manager. Cribb earned quite a deal of money in his time, fighting every body that came along and winning nearly all his fights. He lost a considerable amount of his hard earned purses by try- ing the horses at Tanforan and Oakland last season.

Time, PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS WILL MEET IN HARMONY Convention to Be Held To-Day Likely to Be Devoid of Sen- sation. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 14—The Democrats of Pennsylvania will meet here in State convention to-morrow. There is no contertion for State offices, and it is expected the nominations will be quickly made. It is said Judge Harmon of Doylestown has no active opposition for Supreme Judge. For State Treasurer the names of William Hasson of Oil City and Representative Andrew J. Palm of Meadville are prominently mentioned. The platform will be similar to the plat- form of “the Ohio Democracy, and will ireat almost entirely of State issues. The last Legislature will be condemned for the passage of the rapid transit bills and the Capitol bill. It is expected that those Democrats who decline to vote with the anti-Quay Republicans at the organiza- tion of the House of Representatives will be censured. C. J. Wiley of Willlamsport will be temporary chairman of the con- venticn. -The most interesting feature of the ses- sion is likely to be the contest between rival delegations from Philadelphia. In this contest former Governor Robert E. Pattison will have an active part as the of what is known as the “Ryan-Donelly” delegation.

City. | SALT LAKE, Aug. 14.—The election of General Irving Hale of Colorado to the presidency of the organization and the se- lection of Council Bluffs, Towa, as the | place for holding the next encampment was the most important business transact- ed at to-day's session of the second an- nual reunion of the Army of the Philip- pines. The election of General Hale was by unanimous vote, but Council Bluffs se- cured the next convention only after a hard fight agiinst several other cities. Among the other officers chosen were: First vice president, General W. S. Met- If of Kans second vice president, Captain J. F. Critchlow of Utah; treas- urer, Captain P. J. Cosgrove of Nebraska; corresponding secretary, J. J. Myers of Utah.

The parade was the finest ever seen in_this city and was witnessed by thousands of residents and visitors, who had come from surrounding States. CHICAGO CANNOT DOCK AT A BB_ITISH PORT Southampton Authorities Refuse to Grant a Favor to Rear Admiral ¥ Cromwell. LONDON, Aug. 14.—Rear Admiral Crom- well is in London to-night, trying to ar- range to dock his flagship. the Chicago, at Southampton. The authorities there have refused to dock the cruiser unless she discharges all her ammunition, and the upshot will probibly be that the Chi- cago will go to Havre or Portsmouth. The fact that the United States cruiser Columbia docked at Southampton a few years ago for repairs caused the dock au- thorities to impose new regulations in or- der to avoid responsibilities. The South- ampton dock is a private and not a Gov- ernment institution. i Good Prices for Prunes. SAN JOSE, Aug. 14.—Prices for fresh prunes are ruling better in this valley than for several seasons. Fairly good prunes are selling for from $26 to $30 a ton and sales of choice crops are reported as high as $32 a ton. Sales of grapes are slow, as growers are demanding $25 or more, while dealers show a disposition not to &3 above $25 at present. The crop is short. 3 panied by Robert Johnstone, the Presidio professional. Miss Crockett's supggr;ers hope that Mrs. Brown and Miss Hager, being accustomed to turf putting greens, will be disconcerted by the oil sand af- fairs at Blingum. But the Southern Cali- fornians are right at home on the “put- ting brown” with its ofled surface.

S HUTCHINSON, Kans., Aug. 14.—Vice President Roosevelt, ey route home from Colorado, stopped here for a short time and from the rear platform of his train addressed several thousand veterans at- tending the State Grand Army of the Republic reunion. Roosevelt spoke for fif- teen minutes and aroused the crowd to great enthusiasm. He thanked the old soldiers in the name of the American peo- ple for their past valor and sacrifices, and referring briefly to civic life warned them not to envy a life of ease. “You old solidiers,” he said, “‘don't envy those who lived lives of ease from ’61 to ‘6. You don't regret the work you did then, do you?”’ A fire of answers and amens poured from the veterans, and Roosevelt continu- ing said in par “We can never hope to make the coun- try all it should be until we honor the man who works—until we accept the prin- ciple that the man is to be judged on his work as a man.” ‘ As the train began to pull out many of the old soldiers, with their wives and children, ran behind the car, seeking to shake hands with the Vice President, sev- eral men climbing on the car platform after the traln had got up a good speed. LARNED, Kans., Aug. 14.—Vice President Roosevelt went through here to-day on an Atchison train homeward bound. When the train reached the station Roose- velt alighted from the sleeper and after greeting the crowd which had gathered on the platform climbed into the cab and rode for a considerable distance with the engineer.

The Oakland golfers think highly of the chances of Mrs. H. H. Sherwood, who is .a keen and accurate player, and the winner will almost cer- tainly ‘come from the following: Mrs. R. G. Brown, Mrs. Jean W. Bowers, Mrs, H, H. Sherwood and Miss Alice Hager. The contest will be watched with interest by golfers throughout the State and will serve as a preliminary canter for the first annual competition for the woman's golf championship of all California, which will be fought out at Del Monte next week, AER PIES JBIVE HOMES Planters at Mississippi’s Mouth in Serious Danger. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14.—The storm which has been raging at the Mississippt River's mouth for over twenty-four hours has backed up the water in the river fully five feet. Many rice fields along the lower coast are under water and orange lands will be damaged. Many people in that section have left their houses. There is probably some loss of life, but no definite reports have reached here. Along the Mississippt gulf coast the wind and water are higE, but no damage has yet been reported. Captain Seiders of the steamship Olym- pla, which arrived here to-day, reports that on August 13 he saw a small schoon- er ashore outside of the South Pass which had three persons on board who were call- ing for help. The pilots at South Pass had made efforts to rescue them, but failed, owing to the strong gale and high seas. BLUE BELL WIN BY SHORT NOSE Downs Lou Clieveden in Close Finish at Santa Rosa. Gafitop;aif Easily Annexes the Purse in the Special Pace. i 5l SANTA ROSA, Aug. 14.—The third day of the race meeting under the auspices of the Santa Rosa Racing Association brought out a good attendance. The first race was a special pace, best three in five. J. L. Smith’s chestnut stallion Gafftopsail, with Owner Smith on the sulky, easily captured the purse, although Joe Cuicel- lo’s bay mare Mattle B took the first heat. Smith seemingly pulled the sorrel up at the turn and threw the heat. As a result he was replaced by George Ram- age. Gafftopsail took the next three heats without trying in 2:18%, 2:19 and 2:20. La- fayette and EL Reyo were both distanced in the first round. The six-furlong dash for runners proved an interesting event. There were four en- tries, and of these B. F. Hobart's chest- nut mare Skirmish and E. Carey's bay gelding David S both -had brackets to their credit, the former having finished first in a similar event on Monday and the latter having taken a three-quarter dash on Tuesday. The bookies put up Da- vid S at even money. Skirmish at 5 to 3 and Coming Event at 3 to 2, with John Burrough’s Diamond as the outsider. Con- siderable trouble was experienced in starting, but when the horses got off it was with David S in the lead, a position he maintained all the way,, fnishing in 1:13%. - As pretty a finish as was ever seen on a Santa Rosa track marked the third race of the day, a five furlong dash. Five of the runners appeared in answer to the bell. The start was a good one and the fleld came around in a bunch. Down the stretch Stephenson’s Blue Bell, with Ho- bart up, had slightly the best of it, but at the last moment J. L. Rector's chestnut mare Lou Clieveden came alongside and if the wire had been a few feet further away she would have won the race. As it was, Blue Bell got the decision by a nose. The last race of the day was also a five furlong dash, with five entries. The bookies held H. L. Haskell's chestnut gelding Bagdad at even money and asked odds of 3 to 5 on T. E. Latta's Pongo. J. A. Dunn’s Jack McCabe sold as the ex- treme outsider, with others in between. The race went to L. Tryon's bay mare Galena, with H. E. Whitman’s Fine Shot a good second. Time, 1:141,. Galena sold as an outsider with few takers, and the books won well on the race. Following is the summary: First race, special pace, purse $150, mile heats, best three in five.

The Ca dian commodore says he cannot tell which of the five will be given preference. That Captain Jarvis and his skilled a well trained crew deserve most of the credit for the Invader’s success is the al- most unanimous opinion of experfenced yachtsmen who have watched closely the serles of races, and the question m often asked to-night is whether the wi ner is really the better yacht.

M—After a drifting match of three hours and forty minutes to-day the Columbia and Con- stitution gave up the race and we towed back to the city. At that time the wind had fallen to a flat calm, neither boat had steerage way and the outer mark was still over four miles awa; The race will rot resailed to-morrow, as both boats are now on their way up the Sound tow to be on hand for the Larchmont event on Friday. When the race was given up there was nothing to choose be- tween the two yvachts. So far as could be judged the distance to the turning buoy was about equal. The Constitution was the first to run into the calm streak, being then about an eighth of a mile ahead and slightly to windward. The Columbia carried the wind a little longer and ran up on even terms. Then, for half an hour, there was not enough wind to stir the racing pennants and, seeing no_hope of a finish until long after dark, at 3:22 both boats gave It up. Columbia and Constitution.
