BUFFALO, Aug. 14.—There was only | one final at the grand circuit meeting of | | the National Cycling Association at the | Pan-American Stadium track to-day. It was the half-mile amateur and was won | by P. W. Brown of Pittsburg. The weed- | | Ing out process for the grand semi-finals | and finals to-morrow brought out some | g00d contests and some surprises, espe- cially in the Pan-American circuit cham- pionship. The fight for the money in this event has narrowed down to Kramer, Fisher, Lawson and Owen Kimble. Tom Cooper of Detroit failed to get a place in the first trial heat. The English 1iders did better work to- | day. Jack Green won the first heat of the one-mile 2:20 class professional, and get- ting a place in the semi-finals won the right to compete in the grand semi-final to-morrow. Besides Green, Bower and Newkirk of Chicago and Otta Maya of Erie have qualified in this event. Volunteers Ask for Commissions.

There were more idle men to be seen | about the water front yesterday than on | any day since the commencement of the strike.

Laborers Tell Strange Tales to San Jose Officers. SAN JOSE, Aug. 14.—William Gleason, a laborer, whose home is in Stockton, is | at the police station in a pitiable condi- | tlon. His face is lacerated and swollen anu his scalp cut cpen. One eye is closed | | and his body is black and blue. He claims | that yesterday afternoon he was walking alonz Fourth street in San Francisco, golng toward the Southern Pacific depot, ! when he was set upon by a crowd of fif- | teen or twenty men and knocked down | several times. He was then, according to his story, hustled into a room in the rear | of tha teamsters’ neadquarters on Fourth | street, a few doors from Townsend, and there kept a prisoner with a number of other men until 1 o’clock this morning. He was then taken to the raflroad yards, robbed of his money—$6—and thrown into a boxcap-of a train just ready to start. When he reached this city his cries brought assistance. | Three other men appeared about the | same time and made a report of about the | same character. ey state they were | thrown on a southbound freight train after being roughly handled. One of the | men gave his name as Alfred Nordstrom, | says that he is a union sailor and that he | was paid off yesterday on his arrival on a schooner from the north, He was walk- *ing around town when he was set upon and beaten and then taken to the head- quarters of the strikers and held prisoner until near midnight. He was robbed of $38 and some valuable papers—his dis- charge from his ship and his certificate as an able seaman. His fellow companions in misery were a bricklayer, who refused to give his name, and a young man whose appearance is that of a clerk. Both tell the same story of their being held prison- ers and shipped out on a freight train. All the men state this is a nightly ogcur- rence in San_Francisco. Four men were brought to San Jose vesterday by the constable of Mayfield, who says they es- caped from a car at Palo Alto, and they tell almost ‘an identical story. MAY REA-GH LO0S ANGELES. Shipping in Southern Ports May Be Tied Up by Strike. SAN PEDRO, Aug. 14—From present indications the shipping at all Los An- geles ports will be tied up within a day or two. Business Agent Freeman of the San Pedro Federation, the strongest or- ganization in the south, visited Redondo and Santa Monica to-day for the purpose of organizing ihe longshoremen and oth- ers interested in shipping affairs, and it is sald his efforts in that direction were highly successful. Freeman recently held a conference with Andrew Fucuseth of the Pacific Coast Seamen's Union, who is manager of the San Francisco strike, and; accord- ing to all reports of the conference, it was determined that he should call out the San Pedro Federation whenever it was deemed necessary to help the striking unions of the bay in their fight. e Trouble Feared. at Crockett.

Next week Annette Marshdll, the new leading womana, will make her first ap- pearance before a San Franelsco audience in “Men and Women:" in which she will play the role of Agnes Rodman. Miss Marshall is credited with possessing un- usual emotional qualities and is an actress who has rapidly come to the front. ‘‘Men and Women" is to be strongly cast and elaborately mounted.

More, which is set for trial October 22. Judge Van R. Paterson appeared before Judge Melvin this morning and announced that he would have his witnesses here from Santa Barbara on that date. The prlncgml piece of property involved is the island of Santa Rosa, in the Santa Barbara channel. The sult is the latest of many legal bat- tles which have embroiled the members of the More family for half a century. The heritage of dissension was handed down from the original holders of .the princely estate in the Sespe Mountain re glon. Most of the property, formerly ag- gregating mmtlons in value, has gone to ay lawyers' fees. o eanor More's share of the depleted family holdings was estimated at about §75,000. When she died about eighteen months ago in Iowa it was found that she had willed the bulk of this to her brother, John, F. More, and P. W. Wat- son, referred to in the will simply as her friend. The sisters were cut off with hardly a dollar and are now pressing charges of undue influence and prejudice against the fortunate legatees.

Allman’s first claim against his brother was for $45.000. which he accused him of having withheld from him for nearly forty years. This amount was the principal and interest of the proceeds of a land sale made in L. E The claim filed to-day is for a half in- terest in the sum of $21,660, said to be due him and his brother from the United States Government on old mail contracts, dating back to the stage coach era. All- | man also asks for half of what interest may be allowed on the claim when it is finally adjusted. % B The account against the Government forms the basis of a suit now pending be- fore the Court.of Claims at Washington. The suit was brought in John Aliman's name, as the contracts on which it rests were made with him.
