Morley’s Baseball Park in Dispute. | LOS ANGELES, March 13.—Rumors | current in baseball circles that the Los Angeles Improvement Company, which conducts the Chutes Park property, had anceled the lease on the baseball | grounds held by the Los Angeles Baseball Association, were denfed to-day by Man- ager Morley. The reported action was believed by some to have been the first | fruits of the contest between the Pacific t League and the Pacific Northwest League. L. K. Chase, attorney for'the Los An- geles Baseball Assoclation, to-day filed application for a temporary injunction to restrain the Chutes people from interfer- ing In any way with the ball park now occupied by Morley, stating as grounds that a lease is in existence which has been complied with and which calls for as large a consideration as is compatible with reason. 0 MYSTERIES MERGE N ONE Inquest Will Follow That Over Burdick. 9 BUFFALO, N. Y., Mach13.—It was an- nounced by Justice Murphy to-day that an inquest on the death of Arthur R. | Pennell and Mrs. Pennell would be held | soon after the conclusion of the Burdick | inquest, which will begin to-morrow. | Every one whose name has been men- tioned in connection with the murder of Burdick will be brought to the witness | stand if he can be reached with a sub- pena. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Pennell were taken to the New York Central sta- tion this afternoon after a brief funeral service and placed on board a train. They will reach Brunswick, Me., to-morrow afternoon. The remains will be placed in the Pine Grove Cemetery, where Mr. Pennell's father, ‘Captain J. D. Pennell, is buried. Justice Murphy said to-day regarding the probable date of the Pennell inquest: “We shall have to await the outcome of the Burdick inquest. The interests of Pennell and Burdick were so interwoven that the final outcome of the Burdick in- quest may or may not have an important bearing on the inquests into the death of Mr. and Mrs. Pennell. “You may say, however, that the inves- tigation into the deaths of the Pennells will be fully as searching as that into the death of Mr. Burdick. It is my duty to determine whether the Pennells’ deaths were due to accident or suicide. I have issued subpenaes for every one who has any knowledge of the accident. I shall get at the facts If they are obtainable. 1 am not inclined to place too much de- pendence on the suicide theory, so far as it relates to the Pennells.” BATAVIA, N. Y., Match 13.—Mrs. Seth T. Paine of Buffalo, whose husband is a Batavia dentist, arrived here last night. She was followed by a detective. The latter held a conversation with Dr. Paine over the telephone this morning, the exact nature of which could not be learned. It was also learned that Mrs, Paine came here to consult a lawyer rela- tive to her appearance at the Burdick in- quest, at which the detective has a sub- pena for Mrs. Paine to appear. It is not thought she will attempt to avoid service, Late in the day Dr. and Mrs. Paine were served with subpenaes to appear at the Burdick inguest at Buffalo to-morrow. PRACTICE OF POLYGAMY WILL BE INVESTIGATED District Judges of Utah Call Special Grand Jury to Examine Into the Matter. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 13.—Ay the request of County Attorney George Wes- tervelt, three Judges of the District Court to-day decided to call a special Grand Jury for the April term to investigate “gundry public offenses alleged to have been committed and various abuses al- leged to exist within this jurisdiction.” The “public offenses” alleged to have been committed refer to the charges re- cently made of the practice of polygamy in this city and county. z Recent statements in the press to the effect that a member of the local ju- diclary was charged with having recently contrhcted plural marriages is believed to have been instrumental in bringing about the proposed investigation. ————— Our new styles and colors in picture frames, mat board and hlndg;l: pl‘per lease all who visit our store. e. pri bre Yight, too.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1908 FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS ATTRACTS GOOD FIELD 11 DEUTCHLAND WINS HANDICAP. IN A GALLOP FROM 'NIGRETTE Pupil Takes the Opening Race at Oakland Quoted a 20 to 1 Shot. El Piloto Scores A gain at Long Odds---H. L. Frank, Beats His Field-—-Bonnie L'ssak and Oriana- Make Unexpected( Visitations O doubt racegoers to Oaklana track yesterday expected to be treated to some surprises,”and It rained al- most incessantly and the track was a sea of mud, although possessing a good foot- ing. The ring handled a deal of ¢oin and must have “cleaned up,” as H. L. Frank was the only winning favorite. Deutchland, from Barney Schreibér's stable, scored the most impressive vic- tory of the afternoon. The Sain, colt car- ried 88 pounds and “Kerry Patch” Wilson, in the six-furlong handicap, and won smiling at the judges half a dozen lengths ahead of Nigrette, another 8-pounder, ridden by Bonner. Beau Ormonde did not take to the going with a great deal of relish, finishing fn the shoy. The winner's odds went from 2-to 13 t® 5. Americano made his first start of the season and was woefully shy of speed. For some reason Pupil lacked friends, and in the betting on the first event hi price jumped from 13 to 20 to /1. Ererma, the favarite, raced out in front with Saul of Tarsus for several panels, and tired badly - when the pinch came. Mildred Schultz, carrying a world of smart money, then looked a winner, only to be beaten out a neck by Pupil, on which ‘Waterbury rode one of his good races. On form H. L. Frank, of course, looked the best of the two-year-olds, but the fleld was a large one and 2 to 1 could always be had about the Cameron entry. One of the leaders from the start, ‘the first choice downed Tannhauser less than a length, hard pressed at the . close. Padua, at odds of 100 to 1, ran a close third. Because the Sacramento contingent sent | it in so.thick on Choteau, making the | gelding a 13 to b favorite for the seven- | furlong run, the admirers of El Piloto | were enabled to get 10 to 1 against theie money. “Kerry Patch” Wilson rode El Piloto and in a closé finish was awarded a nose verdict over the favorite. Tommie Knight on Arthur Ray made all the run- ning and was only led out a head by the two leaders. If Carson's saddle had not slipped up almost behind his mount’s ears Goldone would in all likelihood have taken the | mile and three-sixteenths selling piece. After racing out in front with Filibuster, Carson made an excellent effort at finish- ing under adverse circumstances, but at such a disadvantage found it impossible to win. Filibuster, piloted by Bonrer, gradually forged ahead, only to be in turn passed and defeated by Bonnie Lissak, astride which Harry Birkenruth rode one | of his three-star finishes. The winner was quoted at odds of 6 to 1. Lodestar, | the favorite, did not run up to expecta- | ticns, getting home an indifferent fourth. David §, with Waterbury on his back, had first call in the ring for the conclud- ing mile and a sixteenth selling affair. He acted badly at the post, and wheeling as the barrier went up was left. Jimmy Boland rode a strong finish on Oriana, a 12 to 1 shot, crossing the line more than a length ahead of Larry Wilt and Tu- lare. The latter two engaged in a duel from the eighth pole, the former getting the place by a nose. LetERl ey THE ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

L R R 1 el GARMEN DEGLARE UNION MUST WIN General Manager Chap- man Refuses Com- mittee’s Demands. A committee from the Street Railway Employes’ Union, headed by Richard Cor- nelius, president of the unfon, waited on General Manager Chapman yesterday and demanded that the sixteen conductors and motormen who had been suspended the previous evening be reinstated forthwith. The men were laid off because of their refusal to comply with the rules of the company and sign the vouchers of stu- dent motormen and conductors whom they had instructed in the service. Many of the employes whom the company was compelled to lay off had been in the ser- vice of the company for a long time. They claim that they were suspended for obeying the mandate of the union which forbade them to sign the students’ cards. President Cornelius, at a meeting of the executive committee of the union last night, declared that the men must be reinstated. He states that he hopes that the difficulty will be peacefully adjusted, but admits that affairs have reached a critical period. Regarding the suspension of the men General Manager Chapman made the fol- lowing statement yesterday after he had been interviewed by the committee from thé union: I was waited upon by a committee of the employes of this company to-day who demand- ed the reinstatement of the sixteen men re- cently suspended on the several lines of the United Rallroads for deliberate refusal to obey the rules of this company. One of our rules requires that motormen, gripmen and uc- tors “‘breaking in'’ students shall sign a stating that the student hag recelved the nec- essary instructions. The union, without laying the matter before the company, ordered its members to disregard this rule and to here- after refuse to sign such cards. The suspend- ed men who had been instructing students re- fused, in obedience to the orders of the union, to sign the cards. The result was they were pended. The committee of employes de- manded that the suspended mgn be reinstated and also that they be pald for the time I which was refused. The rule that students must be competent to run a car before being turned in, and that the employe instructing him shall certify that he has instructed him, i certainly a reasonable and necessary rule. The laws compel us to ex- ercise the most painstaking care and, so far as human foresight can do so, we must provide men who are competent to run the cars. The company is responsible if it fails to furnish such men. Our employes have never com- plained of the rule. At the last meeting of the Carmen's Unlon, however, orders were lssued instructing our employes to refuse to obey the rule. The men Just suspended followed the instructions of the union and disobeyed the instructions of the company. . I told the committee if the order was re- scinded and if the men would follow the rule lald down by the company and would sign the cards of the students now and hereafter, that I would reinstate the suspended men and ‘would then take up the rule and discuss it. If it was unfair in any way we would amend it. The suspended men, in the main, are trust- ed and compétent employes. They have been turning in students for years and I never knew of one of them complaining over signing the o U®is too bad that the union arbitrarily or- dered them to disobey the rules concerning which they had no complaint. If the rule had ever been a matter of serious discussion be- fore; if it was tainted with unfairness, why did not the car men say so and bring the mat- ter up for discussion? To order men to disobey a rule without first Qiscussing the rule seems eminently unfair. It is not pleasant to suspend such men, but the Tules the company must be obeyed. Several additional motormen and con- ductors were suspended last night because of their refusal to sign the students’ cards. It is expected that President Cor- nelius and the speclal committee will hold another conference with General Manager Chapman to-day, but it is very doubtful if a settlement of the disagreement will be reached. Manager Chapman is de- termined that the rules of the company shall be obeyed by the employes and the members of the union seem equally de- termined not to sign the students’ cards. —_— The Caspian is a land-locked sea eighty-four feet lower than the ocean. - GOGHLAN SAILS FROM SAN JUAN Navy Department Or- ders Him to Proceed to Honduras.
