Faber Stopped by Two Men in Buggy, Knocked Senseless and | His Coin Taken. | A bold highway robbery was committed | Yesterday afternoon on San Bruno avi | nue. The road agents in this case dev | ated from the usual order of things by riding in a buggy instead of traveling on feot. Shortly after 4 o'clock B. Faber, an aged peddler residing at 3011 S8an Bruno avenue, was driving in the direction of his home, when two men in a black, open buggy. drawn by a bay horse, called to him to halt. At first they asked for a match and when he tried to hand them one, both alighted from their buggy and stepped toward him. Before Faber could realize what was about to happen, the men commanded him to give them whatever money he had. He refused and the taller of the two cjfimbed into the back of his wagon and spruck him on the head with a re- volver. The peddler fell from his wagon to the street, almost unconscious. Then the other highwayman searched him and took $23 20 from his pockets. The thieves climbed into the buggy and drove in the direction of town, leaving their victim senseless in the road. Faber soon recovered and drove to the South San Francisco police station, where he reported the affair. Detectives Graham and Fitzgerald were detailed on the case. 15035, —————— New Mining Company.

Says Promises of Aid for Fair Have Not Been Fulfilled. \ | A. B. Spreckels tendered yesterday to Governor Pardee his resignation as di- rector of the State Board of Agriculture, | with the Tequest that it be accepted im- | mediately. | gMr. Spreckels, who is president of the | State Agricultural Socicty, was asked as to the reasons which prompted his resig- | nation. He speaks with perfect frank- | ness concerning the unsatisfactory condi- | | tion of affairs at Sgcramento. He holds Euvm the Agricultural Society is not sup- ] ported as it should be and that its work Is not apprecfated by the people of the | State. i My resignation,” said Mr. Spreckels, was not impulsively given. Two yecars ago I sent my resignation to Governor Gage, but for some reason it was not ac- cepted. The promises made by the local | { organizations of Sacramento to support | the State board in the improvement of | the grounds and in promoting the success | | of the State Falr have not been fulfilled. | The support due from the State has been | { denled. The outlook is not encouraging. Had promises been kept, proper equip- ment for the exhibition of horses, cattle | and other livestock would be at the ser- vice of exhibitors. , The stalls are old and out of repair. Owners of fine stock can-| | not be expected to exhibit under this con- | | dition of affa | Mr. Spreckels said the public at large | | did not appreciate the educational work performed by the Agricultural Society. | He cited the introduction into and culti- vation of alfalfa in California as an achievement of the society. | TANFORAN IS LEASED | TO A. B. SPRECKELS ! | Will Be Used Hereafter for Contests of Speed Between Crack I Roadsters. 1 A transaction which portends a revival | of local interest in trotting races and in- | sures to the admirers of the sport | abundance of amusement in the future took place yesterday. A meeting between | A. B. Spreckels and Thomas H. Williams at the Palace Hotel resulted in the for- | mer securing a lease for a number of vears of Tanforan track, which it is pur- | posed to immediately p in condition for the use of crack roadsters, For some time the members of the | Golden Gate Driving Association have been seriously talking of building a half- | mile track near the city, on which meet- ings could be held every year. Recently A. B. Spreckels suggested to the gentle- men that they could better carry out their purposes by leasing the Tanforan track and would save a great deal of mone by so doing. He at once opened | negotiations with President Williams of | the California Jockey Club and they | came to an understanding vesterday. | For a long time interest in trotting | horses has been permitted to lag here, mainly for the reason that there has been no good track near the city on which the | best bred stock could be brought together | in contests of speed. With a track only | | twelve miles from the ¢ity it is expected | that interest will be revived and! that within a very short time matinee | races will be one of the main attractions. There are at present at Pleasanton, in | training, over 200 horses, the majority of | which, it is believed, will be removed to Tanforan, where their owners can be of- forded the opportunity to drive them whenever they please and where they can be kept in good condition for the regular | State circuit. < ———— DETROIT'S FAMOUS YACHTSMAN IS HERE Owns One of the Most Palatial Boats | That Floats on the Great Lakes.

Hays were' appointed bar pilots and Henry Piltz of Port Costa was appointed a bay pilot. All three of these appointments meet with the entire approbation of mariners and persons in- teresged generally in shipping. Captain Silovich has been in the employ of the Spreckels Tug Company for the space of nineteen rs, having entered the service as second mate. He rose rap- idly to the rank of captain and his last OFFICIAL TRILS SILL GONTIUE The fifth day of the submarine trials of | the Grampus'and Pike was by far the most | interesting from the spectators’ standpont. The first event was the ten-mile run of the Grampus in light condition, in which she met the recuirements, making 8.50 knots, which left .50 of a knot to her credit. " The event of the day, however, was the firing of the torpedo from the Pike, which was successfully executed. The style of torpedo used is 11 feet in length, 18 inches in diameter and weighed 840 pounds. It is propelled by «compressed air and is ca- | | pable of running something over 800 yards at full speed, and is loaded with 120 pounds of guncotton, sufficient to blow up the largest war vessel afloat. After it has been set by the gunner on the boat it is capable of diving and steering itself, hav- ing both horizontal and verticle rudders. | In the trial of yesterday what is termed a practice head was useg, which is sup- | posed to allow the torpedo to come to the surface and float after the firing has been done, but in the case of actual warfare if it fafls to strike the object it sinks as soon as its propelling power is exhausted. In the trial yesterday the Pike was well | managed by Captain F. T. Cabel and J. Hill, gunner, while the interests of Uncle Sam were looked after by Lieutenant Commander George H. Stafférd, Assist- ant Naval.Constructor L. S. Adams and | Lieutenant C. S. Kempff. The trial con- sisted of a two-mile submerged run, be- ginning at the starting buoy. The boat kept entirely submerged until the first mile buoy was reached, when she came to the surface for observations only for an instant and immediately dipped under again, arose for another observation at the two-mile buoy, again submerged her- self and after a couple of minutes the torpedo was fired. It shot out in a di- rect line for the target, which in this instance was a supposed ship 150 feet in length, indicated by two large buoys with a white flag on each. It took to the wa- ter about two feet below the surface and for a moment dashed straight at the tar- get. Suddenly it increased its speed to between 25 and 30 knots and began de-{ secribing a curve to the west, tearing past the target about twenty-five yards to the | right. After a run of something like 1000 yards it took a header and down it went. At any rate, it disappeared from view, and probably is now in the mud some- where In the vicinity of Hunters Point. The torpedo is the property of the Gov- ernment and valued at $2400, and as the Holland Company is responsible for it un- less it can be recovered they will in all likelihood be out and injured to that ex- tent. The company claimed that the tor- pedo used was not in accordance with the terms of contract, as the Government agreed to provide a torpedo of modern make, whereas the one in question was of early construction, but being the only one available there was no alternative but to proceed with it. To-day the trials will include torpedo firing by the Grampus and awash runs by both boats. command was the tug Relief. He is uni- versally esteemed along the water front and as a mariner is considered to have few equals on the His long service in with every part of the bay and bar, and his appointment is hailed with great sat- isfaction. Captain _Hays has served with the Alaska Cdfpmercial Company for a long period of "years and bears an excellent record as captain in the most arduous and exacting service in marine matters, that of master of tow-boats. His ap- pointment insures a safe man for the re- sponsible position. Henry Piltz, pilot, is not so well known locally as the other two, but at Port Costa he is held in high estimation by shipping men. The commission will meet again at 10 o'clock a. m. on April 14.

It was expected that certain ac- | cusations made by Commissioner Hutton as to corruption in Chinatown would be aired, but nothing was said or done. Policemen Nicholas J. Barry and Frank { J. McAv were charged with neglect of duty by Captain Anderson of the Mis- | sion district. He had recelved an anony- mous letter that the two officers were in the habit of frequenting a cigar store at ‘,2325 Mission street, instead of patroiling their beats. They were supposed to watch | the cigar store occasionally, as pool sell- ing was suspected there.

Policeman John J. Crowley of the Mis- sion district wa from a quaran detailed to watch on March 27, and also with being asleep while on duty at the | same place on March 29. He pleaded | guilty to the first charge, but denied the | second. Both charges were proved against | him and he was fined $10 on the first count | and $40 on the second. | Policeman William H.
