In many parts of the world, and especially in such cities as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore that ‘are in the same latftude as this city, the residents did not leave their hcines yesterday without being heavily ap- pareled to withstand the rigors of | winter weather. 3 | In this city on Christmas day old Sol's smiling face brought the city warmth, and those who had a holiday enjoyed every minute of the day. The parks were crowded, the ocean beach was filled with visitors, and hundreds avalled themselves of the opportunity to take a dip in the sea. ATHLETES SWIM IN OCEAN. The members of the Olympic Club availed themselves ‘of this golden chance, and more than fifty swam in the surf, dived, under big billows and disported themselves, as do Eastern | people at bathing resorts in the torrid summer. | FEasterners will hardly believe that residents of this city were able to swim in the ocean on Christmas day, but | this is borne out by excellent photo- | graphs taken of the Olympic Club athletes vesterday. These pictures will be exhibited at the St. Louis Exposi- tion and will do much to advertise the equable climate of California. “Young Corbett,” © the champion feather-weight of the world, who is training to battle with Eddie Hanlon this month, takes a dip in the ocean twice a day. The waves lap the shore close to his training quarters. Yester- jumped in and disported himself like | the seals on the neighboring rocks. The club run of the Olympic Athletic Club was attended by. fully 100 mem- bers. The athletes left their clubhouse {at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning and Jjourneyed tc the Baker-street entrance of Golden Gate Park by special car. Led by William Greer Harrison, the aged but wonderfully active president of the famous athletic institution, the members briskly walked to the beach. Arriving there, clothes were discarded for bathing suits and fifty strong swim- mers plunged into the surf. They had a great time diving under breakers and bobbing around like so many corks. The members' remained in the water for ten minutes and then skylarked on the beach. Hundreds of spectators sat on the beach in the warm sunshine and enjoyed the novel scene. ENJOYED OCEAN BATHING. After the swim the members returned to the Olympic Club house by special car and enjoyed an excellent lunch in the club's cafe. The health of Presi- day he donned his bathing suit and | ery glass was raised to the man | made the Olympic Club the | leading world. Captain Max Rosenfeld was so de- lighted with the success of the run that | he secured the president’s acquiescence to call ancther for New Year's day. The members will walk through the | Presidio reservation and enjoy another | swim in the ocean. Among those who attended the walk | were the following members: William Greer Harrison, Eugene S. Watson, O. F. Mcore, Louis Rosenfeld, C. V. Clough, John J. Gleason, E. Vannier, J. A. Piatt, C. S. Christensen, James MeBride, Louis Levy, J. C. B. Heb- bard. Joseph R. Hickey, S. F. Hughes, | W. J. Kennedy, George Birdsall, Sam- uel Berger, H. W. Templeman, R. F. Members of Camp Reinhold Richter, Spanish-American War Veterans, Ask for Investigation. The members of Camp Reinhold Richter, Spanish-American War Vet- erans, have started an investigation regarding the interment of Sergeant | William Fogarty' and the subseque: attempt to use a coffin case bearing his natne for the burial of Mrs. Cath- enine Keefe in this city a few days ago. < The investigating committee has dispatched a telegram to Presi- dent Roosevelt asking him to help them to unravel the mystery as a member of the Spanish-American ‘War Veterans. It is the opinion of those who ara Investigating the case that the voay of Fogarty was never interred at all, but that it was given over to some medical college. George Lacombe, superintendent of Holy Cross Ceme- tery, states that Fogarty’s remains were interred at the cemetery on Feo- yuary 6, 1901. It is thought by the investigators that an empty coffin was lowered into the grave and the body given to a medical college. As ye: the investigators have not been able to locate the undertaker to whom the body of Fogarty was sent in this city. An attempt will be made to find him and he will be asked to explain how the coffin tase was turned over to another undertaking firm. salesman time | score of 17 institution of its kind in the | | BAN W) 1-:!:1\ DAYS TRAVELING MEN NOT SATISFIED Drummers in Washington and Oregon Objeet to Present System of Railroad Serip CAU MUCH ANNOYANCE ——e Complaint to Be Filed With Transcontinental Passenger Association and Companies £ VI Special Dispatch to The Call PORTLAND, Or., Dec. ~—More than 100 members of the Oregon and Washington divisions of the Travelers’ Protective Association will be in at- tendance here at the annual meeting of that body to-morrow. They will elect officers for the ensuing year and transact other important business. The railroads in this territory and the Transcontinental Passenger Associ tion will hear from the “men with the 8rip” in a protest against the present system of scrip in use. Traveling men have favored an in- terchangeable mileage book that would be good on all lines west of the divide, so that it would not be neces- sary to use one form of transportation south of the Columbia and another on the north. The scrip book was herald- as a means of saving the hurried and trouble, but its provision- that scrip must be e changed for tickets renders it a nui sance and the occasion for delay at al- most every station where the sales- men's sample cases are unloaded. Furthermore, it is not good except on lines of the Southern Pacific and O. R.-and N. system in this territory. —_—e—— Annual Teachers’ Examination.
