Twenty arrests were made at midnight Tuesday in various parts of Johannes- burg. A great sensation followed. TACOMA, Nov, 22—Rev. Robert E. Barr, one of the best known Episcopal clergymen in the State, has sold his real estate and other property in Whatcom, preparatory to leaving for South Africa. He will there join the British army as a private, his desire being to fight against the Boers. His son was a soldier in the British army and was killed last year in an engagement in which the Boers great- 1y_outnumbered the British. Reports received by Rev. Mr. Barr were to the effect that young Barr and his com- rades were victims of treachery contrary to the rules of war. The youth was an only son, and the father has felt his loss very keenly. Rev. Mr. Barr will go to England from New York, and thence by troopship to Cape Town. He has lived for a number { years in Whatcom, having been for two ars past rector of churches on Belling- ham Bay. He will carry with bim the proceeds of property he has sold, using the money for the beneft of his brother soldiers in the army. French Miners May Meet.

HUNGER CHECKS FLIGHT OF TWO LITTLE ELOP:RS Three-Year-Old Julia Ann’ Hunt Runs Away With a Very Small Boy. R Ty Special Dispatch to The Call, CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—Because her mam- ma told her she mustn’t play with 5-year- old Stewart Memminger Julia Ann Hunt, 3 years old, ran away with her youthful Stewart, who has been her accepted lover for some time. While her mother was in another room Julia crept through the back door of her parents’ home, and met the youngster, who, according to a whis- pered council that followed, was to be her future husband. His home is next door to hers. “Yeth,” lisped Julia, when her gallant lover had broached his plan for overcom- ing parental objections; ‘“yeth, we'll run away and get married.” The two started with an air of deter- mination. They wandered off toward the lake and did not bother themselves about the world and its troubles until love's dreams began .to be disturbed by the pangs of hungel‘ which overtook Stewart's promised bride along toward noon, They finally lost their way. The chil- dren’s parents discovered their absence and notified the de Park police. Pa- trolman Ryan took the children home. { Owens Brothers Sell Ranch. FRESNO, Nov. 22—Owens Brothers have sold to Dr. G. L. Long of this city their ranch containing 550 acres of valu- able land adjoining the town of Clovis. The ranch is widely known because of the lhoroughbred horses which have been bred there by Owens Brothers. Among the horses well known to valley sports- men are: J. Wheeler, pacer, with a rec- ord of 2:07; Gold Dust, Flush _of Gold, Grady, Polaski and Danken Dee. It is understood that the acreage hitherto de- Yoted to stud purposes will be converted into a large vineyard. EKansas City Wants Prisoner. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 22.—T. H. Weber, the prisoner in whose possession were found many articles of silverware and | jewelry alleged to have been stolen in Kansas City, will be turned over to the authorities of that city when requisitior papers are received. Chief of Police Hayes of Kansas City to-day telegraphed Chief of Police Armstrong of this city a request for the rl.risuner, NO CURTAILMENT - IN AUTHORITY OF R. B. MILROY Onerous Duties of Secretary of New California Jockey Club Are Merely Divided. The story in an afternoon paper yester- day to the effect that Secretary R. B. Miiroy of the New California Jockey Club had been shorn of his authority proves to be a misstatement of facts. In an interview last night President Thomas H. Willlams Jr. said: ‘“‘Mr. Mil- roy has not been shorn of any authority. ‘With continuous racing the duties which devolved upon Mr. Milroy became so heavy that it was almost a physical im- possibility for one man to perform them properly. Since the time of the old Bay District track. until this sea- son there have been two assocla- tlons racing alternately. This gave the executive officers a respite every two weeks in which they could catch up on their work. It was to relieve the enor- mous strain on Mr. Milroy that Mr. Price was made Secretary and manager. ‘“Mr. Milroy is one of the oldest, most representative and most respected racing officials on this coast. He was an earnest worker in the days of the Blood Horse Assaciation, the parent body from which the racing of the present day sprang. He has Leen through all its ups amd downs and has contributed much to the success | of_the sport. “We felt he deserved to be relleved of some of the heavy duties which the posi- tion of secretary entails. Hereafter\he will give his attention solely to the work of the office, Mr. Price relieving him of the There will be no change that remaining as it has ‘will there be a curtailing of been, neither his authorit; Harvard Meets Yale To-Day. CAMBRIDGE, - Mass., Nov. 22.—Confi- dence in the prospects of the Harvard team in its game with Yale to-morrow was shaken late to-night by the an- nouncement that the athletic committee would meet in the morning to definitely pass upon Right Tackle Cutts' status. This came as a surprise, as sHarvard men had no knowledge, and in fact they have none yet, of uny evidence submitted by Yale or any one else upon which to base the question of Cutts' ineligibility. Cutts’ substitute is Dick Lawrence, broth- er to George Lawrence of last year's team. His form Is far below that of Cutts, both in the line and in rushing the ball at tandem tackles formation. The official line-up as given out to-night by Coach Reid and Coach Stillman follows: Harvard. Campbell Graydon. Fullback .... L e e ol “NOTSOBER!” - KY5 A MAJOR Officer Who Accuses Col. Meade Makes Admissions. NEW YORK, Nov. 22—When the offi- cers who comprise the court which is try- ing Colonel Meade resumed their investi- gations to-day Captain Benjamin A. Ful- ler, assistant judge advocate, who was Judge advocate at the court of inquiry held in the navy yard last July, testified to what had taken place there. On cross-examination the witness stated that on¢e when he was on duty at the Boston navy yard Major Lauchheimer came to his (Captain Fuller's) room and gaid he had just come from the Puritan Club after closing it up. ‘“What was condition? Was he sober or tight?” asked Lawyer Semple. ““He was under the influence of liquor,” replied the witness. ‘I'he witness then went on to state that he had induced Major Lauchheimer to go to his room, but the major returned later, having removed his outer garments, and Captain Fuller had to draw a curtain over the window in order to screen his visitor. Major Lauchheimer was recalled and in answer to the judge advocate said that he had not solicited the orders which di- rected him to inspect the marine barracks in Brooklyn in June last. He emphatic- ally denied that he had in any way tried to injure Colonel Meade, and said that he had never entered into any conspiracy or league with any person in order to in- jure or retard Colortel Meade in his suc- cession to the position of brigadier gen- eral of the marine corps. In reply to the judge advocate in direct examination the major said that in Sep- tember, 1897,-he had been ordered to Bos- ton, where he was in cbnsultation with the District Attorney for several days regarding a legal matter in connection with the department. He was a guest of Captain Kane at the navy yard and had dined at Captain Kane's house prior to going to the progressive party at Colonel Meade's. He had a cocktall before din- mer and probably some claret during the dinner that evening, and went to Colonel Meade’s house in company with Captain and Mrs. Kane. He said he was absolutely sober on that occasion and did not arrive late. He never appeared at any gentleman's house in a maudlin condition and he denied that his conduct on that evening was anything other than that of a gentleman. . He told of his_being the guest of the Puritan Club in Boston and said that on one occasion he had given a dinner to five or six gentlemen whom he had-met there in recognition of their being ex- tremely courteous to him during his vis- its to the club. On cross-examination %y Lawyer Semple the major admitted that the party had cocktails before dinner, champagne during dinner and cordials afterward. ‘When asked about his visit to Captain Fuller’s quarters the witness said that he was invited there to a poker game after he had denied that his conduct at the club had ben criticized, but acknowledged that when he reached Captain Fuller's quar- ters he was not sober. ITREBUG PROBABLY AT WORK IN SAN RAFAEL Grady Brothers Lose Heavily for the Second Time Within a Wock. SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 22.—Fire started in Grady Bros.’” hay barn on Third street at 2 o’'clock this morning and destroyed the building and its contents. The cir- cumstances attending the blaze have started the officers on an lnvastlsauon as to its cause. One week ago Grady Bros.’ Lay barn and coalyard on B street were dealro{ed by fire. The property was par- tlally insured. They immediately started business on Third street and were again burned out. It is believed here that some cowardly enemy is trying to ruin them. Iglesias Promised Fair Trial. ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Governor Hunt of Porto Rico and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, had a talk with the President to- day about the case of Santlago Iglesias, the representative of the Federation of Labor recently arrested on his arrival at San Juan on the charge of conspiring to raise wages. Gompers says he will stand by Iglesias, as the charge of conspiracy to raise Wi is the only one against him. Both Governor Hunt and President Roosevelt assured Gompers that Iglesias would have a fair trial and that all his rights would be protected. iven the dinner at the club. He | VERITABLE BULLDOG S L IS EARE TS OF THE ROAD FAIR’S AUTOMOBILE Is Most Powerful Machine on the Coast and Capable of Covering L3 Fifty Miles an Hour Easily Over Suitable Roads. HARLES L. FAIR'S Panhara- Levassor automoble was uncrated yesterday and was tried by fits owner during the afternoon. It requires but a slight stretch of the imagination to see in this powerful ma- chine, with its low frame, a striking re- semblance to a stocky bulldog. The run- ning glar is all of the most substantial character, giving an impression of great strength. It is a very easy riding vehicle, the stout springs and big tires taking up all the jar. Mr. Fair is considered the best amateur chauffeur in California. For eight years he has taken a lively interest in these machines. He has a taste for mechanics, and knows in an instant whether the ma- chinery is performing its duty properly. Mr. Fair has ridden with Fournier and Charron, the most expert chauffeurs in France, where the use of the machine has reached its highest development. He has already outlined a trip to Del Monte when the roads permit, and is also planning one 'J Los Angeles. The machine is capable of traveling fifty miles an hour, but there are few stretches of road here which will permit of this high rate being maintained for any length of time, The machinery which drives the huge vehicle is all in front, out of the way of dust. The wheels and axles are of great strength, while the upperpart is as light as it is safe to make it, some of it being of aluminum. The motive power is gaso- line, which is stored in a big tank in the center of the machine. John Farley is to accompany Mr. Falr on a short trip when the machine is prop- erly tuned up. In order to screw his cour- age up to the sticking point he is induig- WASPS TOO MUCH FOR OAKLAND IN LISTLESS GAME Score Fouiteen Runs to One for the Cripples From Across the Bay. In one of the most tiresome and listless games of the season, Uncle Henry's Ger- mans handed it to the Dudes yesterday in a 14 to 1 package. It was one of those contests that give the national game a bad name and cause the “fans” to fall asleep in their seats or else storm the box office and demand their money back. The game was utterly without feature, save some double plays. Levy gave a poor account of himself in the capacity of umpire. The cripples sprung a new one on the “fans,” His name is Waterbury and he hails from Berkeley, but has been pitch- ing for several amateur clubs around the bay for the last three seasons. This year he did great work in the box for Peta- luma. Waterbury is a first rate twirler, ‘but had the misfortune to make his debut under harrowing circumstances. In the first place, Levy gave him a bad deal on balls and strikes, Nordyke made four hits, but in reality should have been struck out three times. Then the sup- port Waterbury received was ragged at times, Taking everything into considera- tion, he did well. The Germans sent Nordyke home in the first round on a hit and an error by Bab- bitt. It was during the third that the big - things began to happen. Nordyke should have struck out, but, thanks to Levy, he got a three-bagger. This un- nerved Waterbury, and Wilson also hit for three, sending ‘Dyke’” home. By a combination of swats and errors five of the Dutch ambled home. The fifth round was a sad blow to the Dudes. A couple of scratch hits and an error filled the sacks and Waterbury be- came unnerved and gave the next three their base on_balls. Babbitt went into the box, and Nordyke singled to center, scoring a pair of runs. Before the side was retired Hildebrand brought in an- other by means of a fly to the right gar- len. Waterbury had the pleasure of saving the crlpplerayfrom a whitewash. He open- ed the eighth with a two—cushlqn !wi’i)e to right, went to third on Mohler's out to first and’ completed the trip on Franck's he score: single. The B0 raNcIsCO. AB. RBH. §B. PO. A.

There were two preliminary bouts, both good as far as they went. Both were terminated at the signal of a sponge thrown in the ring. The exhibi- tion was largely attended, the contingent frem this city being out in full foree. Ezch of the bouts went seven rounds. In the main event there was some live~ | Iy boxing, but Willlams was clearly out- | classed from the start. Gibb assumed the aggressive and for the first three rounds hunors were about even. Willlams opened the ball in the third round with a left on the colored boy’s jaw, which was followed | by a brisk interchange of blows, Gibb | seeming to get the worst of it until to- | ward the end of the round, when the gong | found him busily evening up matters, It was toward the end of the fifth round that Gibb's superior weight and speed be- gan to tell, and from then to the finish Willlams repeatedly clinched. The sev- enth round was short. Gibb ranved Wu- liams’ ribs with telling effect and com- | pleted his work with a stiff left hook on the jaw which sent Williams through the ropes limp and out. In the first fight Micke; Reliance Club and Jack McDonald of Sap Francisco divided honors until the sev- erth round, when McDonald's seconds threw up the sponge. The sponge aiso ernded the bout between Con sg:ehn. late of the British navy, and Hank Grif- fin. The latter had all the best of the g{xnt and Sheehan was virtually out when 1d Lavigne threw the sponge into the ring. Jack Kitchen refereed all the bouts. POLICE INVESTIGATE RUMOR OF MURDER IN THE PARK The police were called upon last night to investigate a wild rumor to the effect that a murder or attempt to commit mur- der occurred near Strawberry Hill in Gol- den Gate Park. The rumor, it is said, grew out of a conversation between two men on a Turk-street car which was over- heard by a boy named Guito Ghetaldl. The boy is reported to have stated that he heard one of the men declare that he had been decayed out to Strawberry Hill and shot. Guito reported that the man in ing the statement having been shot held his hand over his breasc as thouzh wounded A conductor to whom the st: was told informed Officers Gleason and Burke- holder, who, after making inquirtes, came to the conclusion that the rumor was groundless. A second rumor was to the | effect that a man had been enticed out to Btnwb‘;rr.yn Hill ;WM L. TU- mors, pro » originated from the same source. S Welch of the
