A rupaway accident in Golden Gate Park yesterday resuited in injuries that may possibly cost William Thomson his left leg. A horse drawing a buggy in which Thomson and his brother, Charles were riding suddenly became frightened and , Gashed down the main driveway. Eoth jumped from the vehicle and in | striking the ground Willlam suffered a se- rious fracture of the leg above the ankle, | which may necessitate amputation. He | was treated at the Park Hospital and then removed to the City and County | Hospital. Soon afterward a horse driven | by L. G.

A packed | | which he is held by the theater-goers of the city, who have not yet finished laugh- ing at the gags he used to perpetrate when he was with Peter Daly. The musical frivolity with which Gar- vie is starrirg is nothing more than the brassy voiced songs aand rough and tum- 1t is sufficient, however, to give Garvie a chance to use his nall factory voice and make the people laugh. Miss Mollie Thompson has a voice though, which, to | quote one of Mr. Jolly's songs, “‘skins his a city block.” It alone is worth the price of admission. There are some catchy songs, which are zairly well sung. The chorus is weil gowned and some clever dance steps are thrown into the general potpourl. Colombino is the bright particular star in a galaxy at the Orpheum this week. He is a marvelous change artist and kept his audience in a state of wonder by the rapidity in which he changed his cos- tumes in playing a sketch which called for the impersonation of nine characters. This in itself is well worth seeing, but he goes one better by caricaturing the world’s famous musicians.

The most striking scene of the burlesque | is the “‘Storm’ ballet in the second act. Over 100 persons take part, ranging from tiny children to plump womanhood. The scene is intended to symbolize the pass- ing of a thunderstorm on a sunshiny day | and the idea is cleverly and elaborately worked out with much beauty and grace. Baby Jessamine, the smallest premier danseuse in the world, appeared in this scene and was heartily applauded. ———— ROYAL FRIEND WINS THE INGELSIDE OPEN STAKE Clever Courser Outpoints Cloverdale After Being Led Five Lengths to the Hare. Royal Friend, H. L. Meharry's fast greyhound, took first honors at the open stake yesterday at Ingleside Coursing Park, beating Cloverdale in the declding 7. Cloverdale ruled favorite and at rlip time was a 1 to 2 choice. As the dogs went up the field the odds looked justifiable, as the dog that the tal- ent had placed its money on was out at the lead a good five lengths. As soon as they got to work Royal Friend showed his i opponent and gained an easy victory. It was a good day for the talent, though the occasional short ends came through at fair odds. Toward the end of the stake Jerry Wright looked like a winner, but in a bye with Doreen was taken a coute of the running. The dogs were sent after a jack that led them a chase all over the fleld. Slipper Ed | Shostag caught the hare as it neared the | slip stand and threw it over the fence. The hounds had gone a full three minutes and even with the assistance of four re- lief dogs were forced to let the hare out- foot them. Jerry Wright was a 1 to 4 shot, but when the flag went up he was out- pointed by the bye dog.

Thinks Government Ought to Abolish Its Station at Juneau. ¢ United States Senator C. H. Dietrich of Nebraska and fis daughter, who have been making an extended tour of Alaska, arrived in port yesterday ofl the United | States cutter Thetis and are registerel | The Senator und| Miss Dietrich left Seattle last June for | Alaska, through which they have since traveled many thousands of miles. They spent about a month in and around Dawson and, coming out by way of the Yukon, they visited »bt. Michael and other points of interest. Returning the coast they boarded the Thetis, which carried them up the coast to a point near Point Barrow, which they were prevented from reaching owing to the ice. They also visited the Diamede Isl- ands and crossed the straits to the Sibe- rian coast, where the Thetis made several | stops. In discussing his trip last even- ing the Senator said: As a member of the Senate Land Committee | 1 discovered some months ago that we knew very little about Alaska, and I concluded to| visit the country and see for myself just what | it amounted to. A careful inspection of the t ritory has impressed me with its importance | as a mineral country, but I have satisfled my- self that it will never be a successful agricul- tural district COST OF CLEARING. There ere of course sections of the Territory where almost anything will grow, but the great difficulty lles in the fact that it costs from $600 to $2000 an acre to clear the ground of its timber and the layer of rotten wood and moss | { I gleansd this latter information from the scientists in charge of the Government experl- mental station at Juneau, which I am sorry to say during its career has demonstrated nothing further than had already been known for years regarding the agricultural possibilities of the Territory. At the station about three and a half acres of land have been cleared, and upon this they succeeded in growing nothing but the ordt garden truck. Nothing has | been accomplished by experiment at the sta- tion to ghow that cereals can be made paying products of Alaska, and I doubt that farming will ever be a success there for the reasons stated already by me. Certain kinds of grasses thrive and cattle-raising will eventually be o of the important industries of Alaska, a fact that has already been realized by a number of people who are busily engaged in shipping cattle there. As to Alaska’s richness as a min- eral country, no one will dare dispute its claims in this respect. WASTE OF MONEY. Returning to the subject of the Gov- ernment experimental station Senator Dietrich remarked that he considered its maintenance a waste of money and its further existence a folly. Continuing he said: What Alaska needs most agon roads and more railroads. One should be built between Valdez and Eagle City on the Yukon River, where it would penetrate a country rich net only in minerals, but having a just claim to exceptional advantages in an agricultural way. The commercial bodles on the entire coast should take up this matter and encourage some enterprising corporation to undertaké the construction of the rcad, for it would be of great benefit to the people in your State and those north of Callfornia. Speaking of the political outlook in this country the Benator said that he was certain that President Roosevelt will be renominated and will be re-elected by a large majority. Three years ago Senator | Dietrich, who Is president of the German | Nagional Bank of Hastings, was elected G&mar of Nebraska, but he resigned that position to accept the Senatorjal| nomination and was elected after the| deadlock in the Legislature of his State. | He expects to remain here only a few days. are w ———————— GOOD SPORT ENJOYED AT UNION COURSING PARK Two of America’s Most Famous Dams Are Represented in the Finals. Sport at the Union Coursing Park yes- terday was all that the lovers of cours- ing could wish. The dogs were in good condition and the hares were strong and in many instances gave the dogs a merry run. Palo Alto came on the field look- ing as fresh and spry as a youngster and in the first round easily disposed of Amer- jca with a score in his favor of 4 to 0. The great dog met Haphazard in the sec- ond round and vanquished the son of Lady Jane by 7 to 2 points. In the third round Palo Alto ‘disposed of Vandal, the score being 5 to 2. He beat Mickey Free in the fourth round 7 points to 6, but met with a mishap during a quick turn, which necessitated his being withdrawn. Palo Alto, however, drew third money. Full Moon won the open stake, beating Sil- ver Cloud 27 to 8 points. The puppy stake proved to be interest- ing, and Charter Member and Quito par- ticularly distinguished themselves. The former won the stake, wresting the prize | from Quito by a score of 8 to 3. Two of the best dams in America were represented in both finals. Lady Jane was represented in the open stake by both the winner and the runner-up. Little Wonder had the winner and runner-up in the puppy stake.

Collar Bone, Leg and Nose Fractured During the Rushes, s S When Spanish and American football devotees meet in friendly rivalry on the field of sport it would be well, judging from a game played on the outskirts of the city yesterday, to have a corps of sur- geons and a half-dozen ambulances on the spot. There was a game played at the Pre- sidio Athletic Grounds yesterday after- noon between the Arlington football club, composed of members of the First Bat- talion of Artillery, N. G. C., and La Union club, which is made up of Spaniards who reside in San Francisco. From the very beginning the Spaniards were in a condition of physical and men- tal determination that the game should go to them. With an enthusiasm that hinged on ferocious excitement the game was played with rough-and-tumble tactics that would put in the shade those em- ployed at a bullfight. There were only three men of the Ar- lington club laid low, and the only won- der is that there were not more. Their glcal aid, and for some weeks two at least medical care. David Schloss, right tackle, was woe- fully mawled, and as a resu.. had his collarbone fractured. Then in quick order Frank Soule, right half, received a whiz- zing blow on the nose, and it was evident at once that he was suffering much pain. An examination showed that his nose had been broken. Harry Stone, captain of the team, also fell a victim to the rough play. He suffered a broken leg, and in spite of the pain he continued playing for several geconds after he received the serious in- Presidio hospital, and later Schloss was conveyed to the Park Emergency Hos- pital. Referee Middleton repeatedly warned the Spanish players against rough tactics during the game, but evidently to no ac- count. CRICKETERS WIN EASILY Strong Combined Eleven Is Defeated by a Margin of More Than Eighty Runs. The San Francisco County Cricket team again demonstrated its superiority ¥ terday, defeating a strong combined eleven by a large margin on the grounds at Webster street, Alameda. The San | Francisco County skipper lost the toss and his team was sent to the bat. Rich- ardson scored 79 runs, while Sloman | broke the bowling, staying at the bat for an hour and a half for six run Eight | bowlers were tried, the most successful | being Dr. O. N. Taylor, who took three wickets for 23 runs. At 3:20 p. m. the in- | nings was called, 176 having been scored for a loss of seven wickets. Against this | total the combined eleven could compile only 94 runs, though Bowly, Wilding, Harold Ward, Petherick and Stahl all made double figures. Richardson, Peter- sen and Wilkes took all the wickets, the first capturing five for 29 runs. The full detalls follow: SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY CRICKET CLUB, E. G. Sloman, b, D. Jamieson. . B.

They left an hour and a half later for Buffalo, expecting to reach there to-night and to start out with the leaders Monday morn. ing. Nos. 23 and 24 arrived at 8:30 o'clock this afternoon. No. 23 went on to Buffalo, but No. 24 is delayed on account of a broken strut rod. The press car arrived at 2 o'clock with one tire off, and was laid up several hours for repairs.

HONOLULU, Oct. 5.—Charles Walker of Honolulu has desighed plans for a yacht which he will offer to Sir Thomas Lipton and with which he hopes the Irish tea merchant will be able to lift the Amer- ica’s cup next year from the New York Yacht Club. Walker is the designer of many boats which have made a good showing in Hawaiian waters. The new boat is designed on entirely new and orig- inal lines, and Walker's way of steering and ballasting will be different from the other boats Lipton has entered in the in- ternational yacht races. Walker was born in Japan of English parents and has never been naturalized, so that Lipton could not object to the design on account of his nationality. — LONDON, Oct. 11.—The champlon f e, Baby Coast Guied, 'bred by tuwm Francisco breeder tor pearly 5500 0 * 5% | with | ing his nurse with a terrific blow on the RSt Max Brockow’s Attethpt at Suicide Ends in Failure. AR Swallows Missive Intended to End Life and Goes to Hospital. e e The pain caused by an ulcerated tooth drove Max Brockow to resolve to end his own existence. The same tooth saved Brockow's life. He tried to fire a bullet into s head, but the ball struck the tooth and instead of entering Brockow's brain was gulped down by him and near- Iy choked him to death before it found its way into his stomach. All this chapter of incidents took place | last night in the rear of a grocery at 50| Franklin street, owned by Brockow. A neighobr, hearing the discharge of the re- volver, a 33-caliber Colt, ran into the back yard of the store and found the grocer sitting on a barrel, gasping for breath. Smoke surrounded him and the pistol lay on the ground beside him, Brockow gave a final gulp, got the bul- let down, spat out the tooth and reached up to see if his head was still in one; plece. Finding that it was, he looked dis- | appointed. { The neighbor telephoned to the Central | Emergency Hospital and Brockow was | taken there. Dr. Stevens found that he had only suffered from shock. The grocer | said he had swallowed the bullet. He was placed in a ward. He says he wants to die, anyway, and that the next time he tries he will raise his sight. —————————— LINERS REPORT HURRICANES. Wave Kills a Passenger on the Steamship Jefferson. NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The flerce storm that has been raging along the North At- lantic coast for several days has seri- ously interfered with shipping, and to- day only four of the ocean liners, all of which had been greatly delayed, succeed- ed in making port. The four steamships that arrived reported hurricanes and mountainous seas. The Monterey of the | Ward line and the Jefferson of the Old Dominion line came in from the south. The latter craft was terribly battered by the storm and, when boarded by a high wave on Saturday, Richard McLane, the lookout, - was serfously injured, the Rev. B. Hawley, a clergyman of North Caro- lina, was thrown across the cabin and | killed. The sound steamboat City of Worcester of the Norwich line, which was supposed | to have struck on the rocks near Execu- tion light late last night, simply an- chored, because a metal pin connected the walking bheam had broken. ‘While at anchor temporary repairs were | made and the City of Worcester, under her own steam, made her way to her dock In the North River. Captain Row- | land attempted to transfer his 175 pas- sengers to the New Hampshire of the | Stonington line, which came up a short time after the accident, but as the waves were too high the attempt was aban- doned. More than 130 of the passengers were sent to New London by train and | those that stood by the broken down boat | proceeded on her to their destination to- | night.

ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 1L.—After feli- head with a stove poker, Edward Do- heny, the Pittsburg National League | baseball pitcher, for more than an hour to-day, armed with the same weapon, held a score of neighbors and several police- men at bay. Finally he was overpowered and after an examination by physicians was adjudged Insane and committed to the asylum at Danvers. The nurse, Oberlin Howarth, is seri- ously injured, but it is believed he will recover. Doheny first showed signs of insanity several weeks ago, when he suddenly de- serted the Pittsburg club in an Ohio city while laboring under the delusion that he was being followed by detectives. After | a few weeks’ rest at his home here he re- joined the team, but did not regaln his old form.

The Hancock and Polk cases have been before the | courts for the past. three years. ——————————— LONDON STOCK MARKET !

The mere scouring of the se: the loose scales won't cure dandruff dandruff is nothing but scales of sc thrown up by a pestiferous little germ In bur rowing its way to the root of the halr, where it saps the vitality, causing falling hair and. in time, baldness.
