BRILLIANTLY Y ATHLETIC DEMIC i The sturdy athletes of the Califor- nia School of Mechanical Arts (Lick School), who have come to the front with a rush this year, placed the third ield day of the season to their credit vesterday at Berkeley oval. The representatives of this school scored the most points in the field days of the San Francisco Athletic League and of the Bay County Ath- letic League. They topped this off by | winning, for the first time, the spring field day of the Academic Athletic League. The battle for points was bravely fought throughout the after- noon by the brawny representatives of Ukiah High School, Oakland High School, Lowell High School and Lick School. The victorious Lick athletes made a whirlwind finish, taking the last two events, the relay race with ts rich reward of ten points and the hammer throw, which gave them five points additional. The scores of the leading teams at the -close of the day’s sharp competi- tion were: Lick School. 29 4-5 points. Oakland High School, 27 4-5 points. Ukiah High School, 18 4-5 points. Lowell High School, 17 points. Berkeley High School, 11 points. TWO RECORDS BROKEN, Two records of the Academic Ath- letic League were broken, one was tied and in a number of instances the winners were just outside the best previous performances. Lick’s victory in the relay race was a spectacular one. Owing to the size of the track the first runner it called upon to go only 170 yards, the remair- ing five each making a complete circuit of the oval. Cope, who earlier in the afternoon won the -classic “hundred” in 10 1-5 seconds, tying the former record, had the first relay for Lick. 4 Fe was off like 2 shot at the start- ing signal,_and ran as if his life de- pended upon his ecffor He opened up a gap of fifteen yards almost in- stantly. He increased this slightly be- fore the end of the relay, turning over a decided lead to Beck, who had pr: viously won the 220-yard race. Johns, Jones, O'Connor and Dodson each in his turn performed wonders, leaving the other contestants strung out like the tail of a comet. Oakland High School finished second, never being able to regain the advan- tage lost at the start. This was its first defeat in the league relay in ten years of competition. The time for the mile was § minutes, 30 4-5 seconds. The previous record of 3:23 wastheld by Oakland. MOULLEN SAVES THE DAY, ‘With the relay race out of the way the field day was still undecided and | Rice, 0. H. 8.; Schwartz, L. H. 8., sec- o | the major portion of the spectators repaired to the baseball field, adjoin- ing the track, to witness the hammer throw. g Moullen of Lick and Blakemore of Berkeley High School were the prin- cipal contenders. Blakemore beat Moullen the last time they met and a sharp struggle was expected. To the surprise of the spectators and the de- light of the Lick adherents, Moullen won easily, thus securing for his school the day's championship. The day was ideal for athletic com- petition and attracted an attendance | which crowded the picturesque grounds of the University of California. The athletes in their abbreviated costumes were the most comfortable people 6h the ground. De Mamill of Lowell High School gave a great exhibition of gameness and judgment in the trying mile run | He assumed the lead in the second lap land maintained that position until the | bend for home in the last lap. Here | Hunter of Santa Clara, who holds the record for the distance, challenged and took the lead from him. There was a desperate struggle to the tape, De Mamill finally getting the decision by inches. The time was one-fifth of a | second outside record. MELVIN A CRACK HURDLER. Melvin of Oakland High School proved the star of the hurdlers, win- ning both events. Hartan of Ukiah finished second. In the final of the 220-yard huglle these two ran stride for stride, Melvin just breasting the tape in advance of his opponent. Schwartz, the crack sprinter of Low- ell High School, was the only com- petitor injured. He strained a tendon in his left lez and had to be carried from the field. Munn proved the star of the pole- h'aulters, clearing the bar at 10 feet 9 |inches. This is an inch and a haif { higher than the previous record. Five competitors tied for second place.

April 9.— The Repubiican convention of ¢the Twentieth Congressional District to- day chose E. H. Harriman of Drange County a delegate to- the National Convention. Harriman is president of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa- cific railroads. Resolutions - were adopted indorsing the administrations | of President Roosevelt and Governor Odell 4 Time, | SIS HIS SON S A WEAKLING Millionaire Glove Manufaet- urer Denounces His Off- spring | PHYSICIAN DISAGREES Testimony Is Brought Out in a Maintenance Suit Be- gun by Nellie Blumenthal It is seldom that a man rated as a millioraire will brand his son as a mental weakling in order to save pay- ing $25 a month for the support of that son’s wife. It occasionally happens, however, that such a father is dis- covered. One such did appear yester- day in Judge Kerrigan's court in the | person of B. Blumenthal, the million- aire glove manufacturer, who was a witness in brought by Nellié Blumenthal against | | | | | Emil Blumenthal, his son. He gave testimony ig order to prevent his daughter-in-law from proving that | young Blumenthal was in the enjoy- | ment of an income of $100 a month and thus maintaining her claim that he could easily afford to pay her $25 a month for her support. The case was | continued until Friday to enable the | litigants to produce further testi- | mony. 3 Blumenthal senior said his son never had an income of $100 a month, and | that at the present time he would not be able to live but by his father's | bcunty. He said that he once started him in a “light” business, but that he | did not have the brains to carry it on, with the result that after a few months he had to retire and call upon his father to pay the bills he had con- tracted. “He is a mental weakling,” said the witness, “and, furthermore, he is the victim of the wiles of this woman. She deceived him, with the result that without obtaining my con- sent he ran away with her to Reno and made her his wife. That was in August of last vear. He only lived | with her three weeks.” A Dr. Price was then called and questioned as to the mental condition | of young Blumenthal. He said that in his opinion the young man had a plen- tiful supply of gray matter, and that he was not by any means mentally weak. He said the young fellow had a | cardiac lesion of the heart, and that | was all. The lesion, he.said, did not | affect his brain. | Mrs. Blumenthal is the divorced wife | of a Dr. Blume. She is several years her husband’s senior. Edward F. Parker, who was married | to Alice C. Parker at Hamilton, Ohio, | |in 1881, is seeking a divorce on the ground of desertion. He alleges that | without cause or reason she left him more than a year ago. Desertign is also charged in the complaint for di- | vorce filed by John H. Cullen against Maud Cullen. They were married in 1900. Cullen wants his wife to resume | her maiden name, Collins. Neglect is the charge upon which Hattie E. Underwood is seeking a di- vorce from John C. Underwood, to whom she was married at New Or- leans in July, 1893. She says that for the last year, because of dissipation, he has not provided for her. Mrs. Mary S. Lazzarevich, the de- fendant in a suit for divorce brought by W. A. Lazzarevich, in an answer and cross-complaint to his suit, de- nies that she has ever been guilty of unwifely conduct with one Charles Bartlett, or that she ever left her husband and took up her residence with him. She says she has always been a fond, faithful and loving wife {and that Lazzarevich has neglected her. Desertion and neglect are charged in [ the complaints for divorce filed by Eva F. Hafhaway against George Hatha- way, Nettie Bell against James R. Bell and Rebecca Ingram against William Ingram. Frank Glaezer, proprietor of a res- taurant at 657 Clay street, who is be- ing sued for maintenance by his wife, Alvira, answered her suit yesterday with a general denial of her charges. He says the trouble between him and kis wife has been caused by the pres- ence 4t their home of her brother. F R NEW TRIALS ARE ASKED IN SUBSTITUTION CASES Plea of Once in Jeopardy Is Made on Behalf of Former Deputy Sheriff Dasha. ‘When William F. Dasha, Thomas J. Dempsey, Hom Toon and Wong Din, who had been convicted of conspiracy to land Chinese illegally, came up for sentence in the United States District Court yesterday their counsel moved for an arrest of judgment and new trials for Hom Toon and Wong Din and contenged that Dasha, who had pleaded guilty to the second and third indictments, should escape punish- ment on those pleas for the reason that his conviction on the first indict- ment placed him once in jeopardy. It was argued that the conspiracies men- tioned in the three indictments were one and the same conspiracy and that therefore only the first conviction should stand. The arguments for the defense were made by George A. McGowan and W. H. Schooler. Assistant United States District Attorney Ben L. McKinley made a forcible renly and the argu- ment was continued for two weeks. o Crudo Wants a New Trial. ‘When Nicola Crudo appeared before Judge Lawlor yesterday for formal sentence of nment for life for the murder of ro Migalo, his attorneys filed a motion for a new trial. The matter was continued for la week for argument. in Open Court { the suit for maintenance ! HARRIMAN WILL BE HERE SO0 Railway President and a Party of Financiers Are to Inspect Western Roads NOTIFIES LOCAL OFFICE TR Company Incorporated to Build a Railroad From Placerville to Lake Tahoe ‘Word was received in this city yes- terday that E. H. Harriman, president of the syndicate controlling the big system of railroads, will be in this city within the next twenty days. In a palatial train Harriman is coming west, accompanied by a party of New York financiers, most prominent among whom will be James Stillman, presi- dent of the National City Bank of New York, the concern through which John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company transact their financial business; Percival Kuhn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., which has been financier- ing the railroad magnate, and a num- ber of others closely identified with Harriman in his Wall street opera- tions. According to the information gleaned at the railroad offices yester- day, President Harriman has arranged for a thorough inspection of all the Harriman syndicate holdings in the ‘West, and in view of his coming prep- arations will soon be made for getting everything in shape for his careful scrutiny. Although the local officials are not inclined to discuss the real purposes of Harriman’s visit, it is generally sus- pected that he is preparing to float another big mortgage, which will wipe out of existence many of the mort- gages covering the smaller roads, which have proved most burdensome to him in his big financial maneuvers because of the heavy rate of interest they are demanding. By the time the president of the Southern Pacific Com- pany reaches here the new general managers of the different | roads will have acquainted themselves | with the local conditions of their new | territories and will accompany their chief and his millionaire friends over | the systems for the purpose of explain- ing matters that they may become in- terested in during their trip. | The Placerville and Lake Tahoe | Railway Company was incorporated for $2,000,000 yesterday. The directors are John Lloyd, J. Dalzell Brown, James | H. Swift, D. H. McEwen, S. J. Ras- | sette, James Sallee and W. J. Bartnett. | Each of the directors, with the ex- | ception of Rassette; has subscribed for $1000 worth of stock. Rassette is the owner of $64,000 worth, making a total of $70,000 subscribed. According to tae articles of incorporation the company is organized to build a road about | sixty-five miles in length from the | town of Placerville, El Dorado County, |in a northerly and northeasterly di- | rection to Pino Grande, in the same county, thence in a general easterly and northeasterly direction to a point on Lake Tahoe, at or near Tallac. According to the latest figures in the hands of the local officials of the | Santa Fe road, the westbound traffic over the lines of that company for March shows an enormous increase over the same period of last year. Dur- | ing the thirty days of last month the Santa Fe brought to California 6399 | passengers, as against 3283 for March, |1903. These figures include first and | second class passengers, and are re- garded as a splendid argument against | the predictions made late last year | that westbound traffic this year, n view of .the St. Louis exposition and other attractions in the East and Mid- dle West, would be much less than the previous year. Manager James Agler, Master of Transportation G. T. Richardson and Superintendent of Motive Power H. J. Small of the Southern Pacific Company have departed for El Paso, where they expect to meet Charles Markham, the new general manager of the western system of the company, and accom- pany him on an inspection tour over his new territory. ——,—————— THE ST.
