McManus, gave up | the chase and landed in San Francisco | terday. The original party consisted | of ten members, which started out from | Halifax on March 17, 1903, on the little | schooner Hattie L. M., eighty-seven | tons burden, bound for the expected | land of gold on South America’s shores, | under the guidance of Captain McLeod, | the commander of the vessel, who was { supposed to know the exact spot where the, treasure was to be found. During | the passage the little craft encountered | a terrible gale, which washed overboard | Ashley Cooper, who was drowned. On arrival at Terre del Fuego the vessel was rum® ashore and beached at False Cove, the spot where the party | expected to pick up untold wealth. The gold was not there. The country was bleak and drear and all kinds of hardships were en- countered Finally Thompson and Mc- Manus decided to strike out for them- selves, and heavily armed they started down the coast. They encountered In- | dians who were more or less of a sav- age type, but who for the most part were friendly. Finally they decided to go to Punta Arenas, and *to do this they were compeiled to go in a tiny ca- noe in the open ocean for nearly 150 miles to the objective point. For nearly a month when they were with the In- dians they lived entirely on shrimps and clams. On November 9 the steam- er Mera hove in sight and they took passage on her for this port. McManus has kept a complete diary of all the events of the trip and has a collection of something over 400 photog‘r&)hs | taken since he left Halifax. Notwith- standing the hardehips they have en- countered the young men are in the best of health, but have decided to abandon any further search for riches in that portion of the country. —_———— PERSONAL.

J. Cronin, carried off the honors yesterday at Union Coursing Park. In the deciding course of the 72-dog open stake Fair Tralee beat his kennelmate by a score of 4 points to 3. Tralee Boy was installed a 1 to 3 choice in the betting and barely led to the hare by half a length in a run half- way across the field. Fair Tralee drove in and secured the turn and then won by the narrow margin of 1 point. The winner is considered one of the fastest young greyhounds in Califor- nia, but he has been unlucky. He was favorite for last year’s Futurity, but was injured just before the stake was run. He beat in turn yesterday Lord Granard, Pocatelli, Irvington Tralee, Sea Lion, Barge, and, finally, Tralee Boy. Both Pocatelli and Palo Alto fell by the wayside in the second round, the former being beaten by the ultimate winner and the latter by Gambit.

When Jack Cordell and Charlie Seiger meet next Thursday night at the Reliance Club, Oakland, admirers of boxing should witness an exciting bout. Both men have trained hard and are reported in fine condition. Cordell is the cleverer of the pair. but the “Iron Man"” has a terrific punch and if he ever gets close enough to land, the fight will stop right there. Cordell’s friends expect he will be able to keep Seiger at a distance and, while they do not claim their favorite will score a knockout, they think the decision will surely go to Cordell on points. The men will box fifteen rounds and will weigh 133 pounds at 6 o'clock.

A FAST HOUND Aged Courser Wins Open Stake “Honors at Ingleside Park in 7ield of Speedy Travelers ————— RAGGED ACTOR RUNNER-UP Boots Is a Three-Time Winner on the Short End and Nearly Reaches the Deeiding Course —_—— Jerry O'Shea’s fast old greyhound Golden Ruie proved to a large gather- ing of leashmen at Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday that she still possesses the speed, stamina and cleverness of | days gone by when she was rated as a dangerous competitor in any com- pany. After beating” Wedgewood in the sec- ond round the veteran disposed of Med- ley, Red Pepper and Flora Belle in or- der, without allowing any of them to { score a point against her. In the semi- final the campaigner was slipped with Boots, which had been outfooting some hard ones. The talent made Boots a slight favorite, but O’Shea’s dog man- aged to land the course by a score of 4 to 3. jagged Actor was oa the card to meet Golden Rule in the deciding course and the wise ones figured the younger courser an easy victor over his veteran opponent. Two to one were the pre- vailing odds that the Actor would be returned a winner. The old-timer beat him to the hare hanidly and when the :la'g yyas raised she had outpointed him o1l : Boots ran well throughout the stake and is about due to win.

RO b e i e e BAILEY RAILS AT ROOSEVELT Texas Senator Says He Would Resign Rather Than Vote for Pandma Canal Treaty HOUSTON, Tex., Jan. 18.—In a signed statement given to the Post to- night Senator Bailey says that he will “retire from public life before dishon- oring my State and party” by voting for the ratification of the Panama treaty. In his statement Senator Bailey as- serts that the President's influence was used- to. insure favorable action toward the Panama route, as opposed to the Nicaraguan route; that when the Colombian Senate refused to rat- ify the treaty submitted by the United States it was the President’s duty to take the alternative; “but in absolute and reckless disregard of the impera- tive command of the law which he himself had approved, the President refused to. negotiate with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. \ “I can understand,” he says, “how many people, in their anxiety for a canal might condone such a course and. excuse the spoliation (of Colom- bia) on the ground that it was de- manded by the progress and clviliza- tion of the world. This is precisely the same argument with which kings and conquerors have always justified their wars of plunder and aggression. I have heard it asserted that the peo- ple of this country desire a canal and are not particular about the methods by which they secure it. T cannot be- lieve that this is true of the American people. The Panama route is not the only one, nor is it the best one. “Let us denounce the President’s de- flance of the law. Let us accuse him for his violation of the law of nations. I would retire from public life before I would dishonor my State and party by assuming that they entertain other and different sentiments.” ————— SENATE WILL CONTINUE POSTAL FRAUDS DEBATE Resolutions Will Be Briefly Discussed, After Which They Will Be Re- ferred to Commiittee.

B — WOMAN SUES FOR THOUSANDS Interesting Legal Action in Ta- coma Due to a Fair Cigarette- Smoking Passenger’s Tumble it Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 17.—The cigar- ette habit gave Miss Cassie Huntley a thrilling experience, a severe shaking up and several broken bones, accord- ing to the story which she told in the Federal Court in prosecution of her damage suit against the Canadian Pa- cific Railrcad for being hurled from a swiftly moving train at night while a passenger on a sleeping car bound for Puget Sound. v Miss Huntley is suing for §7500 dam- ages, which she claims to be due her for carelessness on the part of the company in not taking the proper safe- guards to prevent passengers from fall- ing off the vestibule. She testified that she took passage on one of the com- pany’s trains ten months ago from a point in Alberta. She engaged a berth in a tourist car. but during the _ight went to the vestibule to smoke a cigar- ette. She was enjoying the aroma of the weed when the train suddenly swung around a curve and she was precipitated from the vestibule to the ground. s Miss Huntley arose to find herself alone and in scant clothing several miles from any habitation with the thermometer playing around the zero mark. In some manner the conductor of the train learned that Miss Huntley had left it in a rather informal man- ner, and he started back in search cf her. She was found a few yards from where she had taken the involuntary tumble. VICTIM OF SHIPWRECK FOUND ON THE BEACH Body of a Man Encased in a Clal- lum Life Preserver Drifts to Port Angeles.

CONTEST AT ALAMEDA Pickwick Association Team Shuts Out the Oceidental Eleven in a Friendly Mateh ———e ‘The rain played havoc yesterday with the plans of the association footballers. Of the three matches for the cham- pionship of the California League none was played. Scme of the Thistles and Oakland Hornets were at the Presidio Athletic ground in the morning. but the water stood in pools on the sur- face and the match was called off. The ground at Idora Park, Oakland, where the Independents of San Fran- cisco wére scheduled to meet the Albion Rovers in the afternoon, was in an even worse ccndition and no match was played. The dryest of the three grounds was that at Alameda, but the teams of the Pickwicks and Occidentals were not present in full strength and a practice game was played instead of the league match. The Pickwicks were aided by Knight of the Seamen'’s Institute team, as gatekeeper, and by Gillchrest of the Albion Rovers as outside right. The Occidental team included Harwood of the Vampire eleven, who acted as goal- keeper most of the time, and T. S. Lydon of the Thistles. G. 8. K. Mc- Callum of the Vampires acted as ref- eree. The game was productive of some interesting play, the Pickwicks scoring 3 goals to 0. A few spectators watched the game from the side lines.

Holland QS et o JURY ACQUITS A CLERGTMAN Congregational Minister in an Oregon Town Aeccused of Bur- glary Leaves the Prison ————— HILLSBORO, Or., Jan. 17.—The jury in the case of the Rev. R. H. Kennedy, charged with the burglary of the resi- dence of E. H. Warren at 2 o'clock or the morning of September 1 last, early to-day returned a verdict acquitting the accused. The jury deliberated upon the guilt or innocence of Kennedy, who is a minister of the Congregational de- nomination, for eight hours. Much tes- timony damaging to the defense was introduced, but the jury returned a verdict for Kennedy on the ground of reasonable doubt. At 2 o'clock on the morning of Sep- tember 1 last the dwelling of E. H. Warren, just outside the city limits, was entered. The masked burglar went into the room occupied by Mrs. B. F. Mackinder, a visitor from St. Helena, Cal. Mrs. Mackinder’s screams brought Miss Warren and her father to the room.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 17.—The United Mine Workers of America will convene in this city to-morrow and the convention promises to be more inter- esting than ordinary. Within the last two months there has apparently been a preconcerted move on the part of several of the operators to cut wages at the rate of 10 cents a ton and a con- flict between operators and miners seems probable. There will be about 1000 delegad from all parts of the country. The convention will remain in session for ten days and then the min- ers will enter into joint convention with the operators of the central competitive field. There will be about 300 of these operators present, representing West- lvania, Ohio, Indiana s and Illinois. This joint conference is. for the purpose of ai a wage scale for the miners of the central competi- tive field. - There are in the United States 450,000 miners, of whom 325,000 beiong to the organization. Of these there are now 14,000 on strike. Ten thousand of these are in the West, 3000 in the Meyersdale district and 1000 in West Virginia. that there is no opposition to the re-eiection of John Mitchell as president and the other officers. Athletie Strength of Rival Uni- versities Is Now ‘Being Es- timated by Men Interested B i W CARDINAL'S BASEBALL MEN A lfig Squad Has Commeneced Practice at Palo Alto for the Intercollegiate Games ke BERKELEY, Jan. 17.—From pres- ent appearances University of Califor- nia and Stanford University will be evenly matched when they come to- gether on the athletic field day next April. Stanford seemed to have the best of it after the victory of last year, but lately California’s chances have become a little sunnier. Stanford re- tains more of her veterans, but Cali- fornia has captured the best of the “prep” school's crop of athletes to help offset the odds. This is about the first year in the history of intercollegiate field con- tests where the talent seems equally divided. In ‘all other years the pre- dictions that California would win were based on evidence that turned out to be reliable, except, however, last year. Even then it was conceded that California would have wen but for Cadogan's mishap. This year it is different and ne man can tell how it will come out until the smoke of battle has cleared away. California retains Tibbetts, its best man, for the distance events. He had an easy time last year and may be de- pended upon to win. Beside him there will be Lundy, Hackley . and Newhall, all good rumners. To com- pete against them Stanford will have Captain Holman, Stiles and Waring. Holman is the most dangerous of the trio. The half mile may go to California. Stanford has lost Thompson and Smith, who figured so heavily in the scoring last year, and unless some crack man is developed that event will be lost to it. Edwards is Califor- nia’s only veteran, Clifford having graduated. Wilcox, an Oakland High School graduate, who did the distance in 2:05, has come to the university. The hardest fight will dgvelop in the' sprints. Cadogan is back In college,, but whether he will train is something; he himself has not determined upon. Abadie will take care of the 50 and 100 yard dashes. Hughes, an Oak- land High School graduate; Davis and Zacharias of Modesto, who all made reputations during their “prep” school days, will be in these short- distance events. Stanford will have Dunn, who won the 440-yard dash last year; Crossman, a veteran at the same distance. and Turpin, a good 220 and 100 vard man. Both universities are weak in the hurdles this year. Kuhn will net compete and Weller, even if he goes back to his studies, will not be able to enter on account of his injured leg. Against* whoever Stanford sends in for this event California will have Meany and Chaplin. There are no freshmen in, the incoming class with records in the hurdles. The vole vault is conceded to Stan- ford. Beach, Dole and Henley all jumped higher with the aid of the pole than the California men did last year and they have returned to col- lege. Opposing them will be Captain Cooley, Wilcox and Symmes, who will have to do a lot of practicing before they will be able to overcome the rec- ords of the Stanford men. For the jumps there will be Chaplain, Neigh- bor, Hickey and Cooley for California and Henley and Beach for Stanford. Stanford will not have Crawford, who won first in the weights last year, to help out the scores. Califor- nia will have Bush, Snedigar, Forse and Sperry, the last named a Modesto boy, who comes to the university with a reputation for the hurdles and weights. BASEBALL MEN AT 'WORK. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan.17. —The first regular baseball practice of the season was held on the varsity diamond some days since and the outlook, considering the large number of men who turned out for the initial warming-up, is encouraging. More than thirty men, many of them fresh- men, appeared in uniform. Of the eleven men that played dur< ing last year's intercollegiate series, five will be missing this year. Brown. McGilvray, Lowenthal and Copp have graduated or left college, whila Parker, the varsity twirler, through taking postgraduate work, is ineligible on account of having participated in intercollegiate contests for four years. Crawford, star shortstop on the 1903 varsity nine, who was counted on to strengthen the team materially this year, has just been compelled to quit college on account of the illness of his father and will not return. His place will probably be filled by “Bob™ ‘Williams, ‘06, who played the positiom in Crawford’s absence last year. The loss of McGilvray behind.the bat will also cripple the Stanford nine. As an all-round player the big catcher was one of the best in the and a catcher with several years’ ex- perience on the } ultnomah nine, has come out as a condidate for the var- sity team. Tritch, '04. who pitched game against Culitornh‘l:ldt h":hr ‘re- to col e ng turned to lege m"‘ and Sales, "06. the veteran twirler, will have to be
