The litigation involving the White Swan Mines Company, its stockholders and its former president and manager, Letson Balliet, has been settled out of court, On Saturday stipulations for were made in the five cases pending, and it was _done so quietly that the fact was not made public. It is understood that the trial of the case of the company-against Bal {liet for an accounting of his expen tures -of $283,000, in Judge Troutt’s court, while not conciuded, reached a point where Balliet saw that the com- pany was sure to win, and he gave up the fight. The stipulation in this case provides that judgment may be en- | tered within ninety-days for $5 for the company without affecting a claim for 32500 now pending in.the United States Circuit Court in Iowa. The other cases disvosed of are Balliet’ -against the White Swan Company for an injunction preventing the sale of his stock for assessment; the company hagainst Balliet:for the return of 216, 000 shares of stock issued by hims lt to himself, as aileged, two days he had resjgned as president: R.

The races were for the Judge Frank H. Kerrigan cup. Percy Law- rence of the California Cycling Club captured the trophy and incidentally broke the world’s record on a home trainer by going a mile in 1:00 2-5. Lawrence was pitted against A. Wilkes of the New Century Wheelmen and started out at.a terrific clip. kept forging ahead of his opponent at every turn of the wheel. Wilkes never ;1 1d a chance, finishing the course in 114 1-5, ponent. ©_W. C. Waibel, the crack rider from the Garden City Cyclers of San Jose, ran second when he hooked up with H. McWhirter of the California Cycling Club. McWhirter gained a lead when the race was half over and gradually nosed Waibel out at the fin- ish, going the distance in 1:06 2-5, just six second slower than Lawrence. E. Kimball of the California Cycling Club and G. Garcia of the Pacific Wheelmen raced a dead heat in the third race, each covering the distance in 1:12 4-5. Superior Judge Frank H. Kerrigan - made the presentation of the trophy to Lawrénce in a clever little speech. The Judge. came in for a hearty round of applause from the spectators. Fred West rode a two-mile exhibition and made good time. The affair concluded with a social da which lasted till an early hour.

Mainland, New Cen- Black, Pacific Wheel- -5. At a meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners-held last evening in the Hall of Justice Chief of Police Witt- man called the attention of the board ‘to ‘the conduct of William M. Pratt, one of the proprietors of the Orienta bar and cafe at 128 Mason street, dur- ing the trial of George Thornton, alias ©’Brien, on the 28th day of the past month. Pratt is accused by .the Chief of ‘lending the defendant assistance and- of -directing evervy: effort’ toward securing his freedom. The saloon man is-also said to have attempted to in- timidate and to have threatened D. W. Savior, a merchant at 30 Stockton street, who appeared as-complaining witness. The board issued a citation to Pratt to appear and show ecause why his license should net be revoked. In his communication the Chief re- cites the number of diamond robberies that have recentiv been comjmitted on streetcars and of the difficulty of ;the police-in apprehending the offenders. The crimes were finally traced to an Eastern gang under the leadership of Gedrge. Thornton, alias O'Brien.. Say- lor, whose $200 diamond was stolen on May dentified Thornton as the man who took it from his shirt bosom, anc it avas during his trial that Pratt took so much interest in his case. Accord- ing to the complaining witness Pratt approached him in the corridor of the Hall of Justice after the adjourmment of court on Octgber 28. A" part of Saylor’s statement, made to Captain of Detectives Burnett, is as: follows: “Pratt said: ‘T will fix you. We will see that vou get fixed.. We will show you -where you were on the 8th day of May.’ I then said to him: ‘You can't fix me. I am perfectly able ‘to take care of myself.” 1 then looked at the diamond on his shirt, and- he said: ‘Why don’t you say that this is your diamond?* I said: ‘It looks very much like it.” Then he said: ‘Why don’t you call me a thief and be done with 1t?’ I then said: ‘It looks very much like mine.” Chief Wittman, in closing his com- munication, says: “I think the ac- tions of Pratt in reference to this.mat- ter have been reprehensible in the extreme-and I would respectfully nak that your honorable board take such action in the matter as you Ay, deem proper.” The case of Patrolman Edward J. Plume, charged with having hfl:d 0 arrest a man who smashed a window at the corner ‘of Polk and Sutter streets) was postponed unti! Wednes- day, November 9. The license of Robert J.

The Pacific District Board of Appeals of the National Trotting Association will meet here shortly to act upen a number of interesting cases. ‘One of these is the suspension of the Califor- nia State Agricultural Society for its failure to pay thé harness horse own- ers the amount of several stakes and purses won by them. The rules of the association. that provide for the sus- pension .of owners for failure to pay entrance, also provide for the suspen- sion of associations that fail to. pay purses or stakes, Several owners who did not receive the money won by their horses at the State fair this year have filed their claims with the secretary of the Board of Appeals and nothing re- mains-for the board to do but suspend the State board and all its officials as required by the rules. WILL HEAR A PROTEST. ° Ahother interesting case to come up is the protest filed against J. D. Springer and his horse Billy Red, win- ner of second money in the $1500 stake at San Jose in August last. It seems that Billy Red was not eligible to start in this race, which was for 2:20 class pacers, owing to- the fact that he had made a record of 2:12% at Pleasanton the week before, Billy Red was not an original nomination in this stake, but was substituted for another horse under lause in the conditions which provided .that -substitutions could be X. “Newark, N. J. made August 1 of horses then eligible to the class. Mr. Springer secured the substitution for his horse long before the Pléasanton meeting and had no idea that the record made there would . bar him at San Jose. Neither were any of the officers of the Breeders’ Asso- ciation nor' the judges in the stand aware that Billy Red was not eligible to the race until a couple of days after it was decided, when a careful perusal of “the conditions showed that there was a doubt as to Billy Red's eligibil- | ity and the race was protested. It will be an' interesting” case. Opinion is ‘evenly divided a8 to whether the pro- test will be sustained or not.

At the last sessibn of Congress, on January 18, a bill was introduced providing for the construction of a wagon road within the boundaries -of the Yosemite Na- ticnal Park. Although reported favor- ably to the House the bill eventually fafled to pass. Later a provision was inserted in the sundry civil appropria- tion act for the year ending June 30, 1905, directing the Secretary of the In- terior Department to examine into the conditions and situations in the park for the purpose of determining what porticns of the latter are “not neces- sary for park purposes, but can be re- turned to the public domain,” and also “at what place a good and substantial rogd can be built from the boundary of said park to the Yosemite Valley grant, including the length and cost of the same’; and the provision was con- cluded with a paragraph appropriating $3000 for the examination of the mat- ter. COMMISSION ‘AT WORK. Under this authority the Secretary of the Interior later inted a commi sion to come to this State to examine into. and report on the proposed wagon road project. This commission, which wu eompond of .Major H. M. Chitten- , U. S. A.; Frank Bond, chief of the dra.mu d(vmon of the General Land Office, and Robert Marshall of the Geo- logical Survey, visited California three months ago and spent three weeks in- specting the park and Merced Canyon and finally returned to Washington.

Having this' land and ‘a number of | mining cluims in the canyoh and hav- ing acquired the différent.water rights, it becomes heeesscry for- the further- -ance of Ward's eleetric rosd‘cnmpuriyl that the “way- be opéned through the Sierra Reservation in ranges 15, 16, 17 and 18. and through the ¥osemite Na- tional Park, ranges 19 and 20, in order | to permit the road to reach the valley. In order to brigg about- this desired result it was necessary to have action | taken by Congress and toward that end Engineer Ray was sent to Wash- ington, where he lived at the Willard Hotel while acting as the legislative agent of Ward during’ thc last two: sessions of Congress. That Ray’s pres- | ence in- Washington was effective in behalf of the electric project of ‘Ward was shown by the introduction of .the bill, which failed to pass, but which-| the sundry civil appropriation act pro- | viding for the appointment of a com- mission to pave the way for eliminat- | ing certain lands from (-he publlc do- main. SECURES RIGHTS OF WAY. Another important step taken by the promoters.was to obtain a right of way through the Sierra ferestry reser- | vation, which includes within its boun- daries ranges 16, 17 and. 18 east, lying | west of the Yosemite National Park boundary. In February, 903, the Yosemite Valley Railroad Company | filed a map with. the Secretary of the | Interior for-the proposed right of way | for the electric road across public | lands up to a_ point on the boundary | of the Yosemite Park, the proposed route following the course of the Mer- ced River. In January eof this year the Secretary of the Interior made an order eliminating .from the Sierra reservation tracts of land along the Merced River, in_the Merced Canyon, in Ranges 16," 17 amd 18, through which the electric railroad company proposes to obtain its right of way. In the same month the Seecretary of the Interior also rotified the Registrar of the Land Office at Stockton that the subdivision of land along the river in the canyon had been eliminated from the Sierra-reservation. The fil- ing of this map, showing a terminus at the boundary line of the Yosemite Park, leaves the Ward railroad at a six-furlong feature | thence. up the Merced | HOW THE HORSBS FIGURE TO RON ON RECENT FORM — JAM UC-\ SELECTIONS. - By the New York Morning Te First race—Diamond, Iwi.

This will enable Ward and his friends to take their electric line up to within about nine and - half miles of the Sentinel ‘Hotel, thus giving them an advantage over any other railroad that might be projected.. It is this result | for which ‘Ward -and Ray are said to | be_working. The main objection to the changing of the Boundaries -of the park arises out of the faét, well known to all fre= | quenters of the Sierra- Nevada Moulle | tains, especially.: the .rangers and@ 1gu|des,'lhat the deer, bear and game of all kinds ‘and - birds descend from the high altitudes during the severity {of the wintér weather, when the snow is on the ground, and retreat to the light timber. beit ificiuded in .the nine- - mile_ strip- whick it 'is proposed to { eliminate from .the park..
