Devastate Canine Population ‘and Nobody’s | Towser Is Shown Mercy | —_—— an Fido, Towser, Jack and Bruno have taken to the pines. There are vacant chairs in many a kennel these days, since the Igorrote village erected its nipa huts in our midst. 5 | Something more than race suicide is depleting the canine population of the city and two policemen are detailed to watch over the stewpot at the Igorrote | village. The poundkeeper recently refused an offer from the managers of the Igor- rotes to keep the stewpot full. Fatal | error. The aborigines have been work- | ing on their own hook and from North il!each to the Mission comes the wail of 1"\\'hera is Fido?” “Where is Sport?” | The stewpot holds the answer—but not | for long. The menu yesterday was: Newfoundland tail soup. Skye terrier, a la brouchette. Water spaniel, with water. Bulldog, a la bull con. Suckling pup, 2 la kiyl. Great Dane roasted. Dog, more dog a la bowwow. As much dog as you want. ‘While the Igorrotes have been wax- ing fat the dog population has been waxing thinner. Complaints have been | pouring in thick and fast to C. B. Hol- brook of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Society. Reports of the canine devastation have also reached Chief of Police Dinan. He has detailed Policemen Tracey and McCurry to keep watch over the stewpot. When a candidate for the Igorrote menus is dragged up for the slaughter he is carefully inspected by the two policemen. If he looks like somebody’s | darling he gets a stay of execution. | But if he is an ordinary, everyday | plebetan kiyl, with a wealth of whisk- ers and a tenor voice, alas!

The barrlers will be removed and all may witness the astlon of the team which is to represent the cardinal on Saturday. The occasion promises to be one that will be memorable In Stanfori annals. The fact of the opening of the field, coupled with the monster rally which will bs held in the assembly hall of the university in the evening, will rerve to arouse the en- thusiasm of the student body to a high pitoh. The ectual strength of the cardinal has been increased by the reappearance of Jimmie Stanford and Jim Crow. Both of these men are star players and have been laid up. BERKELEY, Nov, 8.—All the prelim- inary arrangements for the football game at Stanford were concluded by the execu- tive committee of the assoclated students last night, transportation matters occu- pying much of the committee's time dur- ing the meeting. Arrangements have been made for a big “rooters” train to be occupied exclus- ively by the college boys who have been drilled by yell leader De Leon, during the last month. The “rooters” are a band of stalwart youth, whose picturesque cos- tumes, vells and songs are expected to add materially to the interest of the pro- ceedings at Saturday's game. There will be at least 600 of these ‘‘rooters” in evi- dence. The students are to purchase speclal tickets go Palo Alto which will not be on sale at railroad statlons, but must be bought &t the co-operative store on the campus, or A. G. Spalding’'s or Cla- brough, Golcher & Co.’s in the eity. The rooters’ train will go from Berke- ley at about 11 o'clock, stopping for pas- sengers at Oakland, and thence by way of San Jose, arriving in time for the game, which will be called at 2 o’clock. The executive committee has appointed J. M. Eshleman, 02, as linesman for Cal- ifornia. Willlam Middleton will be Cali- fornia’s timer. The head linesman has not yet been selected. Special trains will begin running to Palo Alto for the football game on Sat- urday, beginning at 8:15 a.m. They will be sent out every thirty minutes after that time until 12 noon. Tickets on ex- ‘cursion train are $1. No tickets for excur- sion trains will be sold at the Third and Townsend street station. They must be purchased at the company’s office in the Grand Hotel at Market street. No excursion tickets are good on the regular trains. ————————— Californians fn Paris. PARIS, Nov. §.—Franklin A.

Departs for the East When Inquiry Is Ended. ——— Francis J. Heney appeared before the Grand Jury yesterday in answer to a | subpena, issued by District Atterney By- ington. After being questioned by the | jurors for about ten minutes he was per- | mitted to go. He took the 11 o’clock train for the East. Heney was questioned as to what sort of evidence he had to support the charges he made against Attorney A. Ruef at Mechanics' Pavilion last Saturday night. On that occasion Mr. Heney sald: “I personally know that Ruef is corrupt.” Distriet Attorney Byington was of the opinion that if Mr. Heney could back the statement he should lay his information before the Grand Jury and issued a sub- poea for him. The following statement was made to the Grand Jury by Mr. Heney: “I have no facts to submit. I know nothing of my own personal knowledge that will connect Mr. Ruef with any crime or graft. My information upon which I based the statement that I per- sonally knew that Mr. Ruef was cor- rupt was based on hearsay, rumor and statements made by parties whose names I gecline to give.” The Grand Jury will defer considera- tion of the matter. It was also decided not to make public the result of the in- quiry. MAKES CLERCY- HIS VICTIMS W. L. Love Placed Under Ar- rest for Burglary, Embez- zlement and Grand Larceny i W. L.

About that time Love got a job to run the elevator at the Hotel San Jacinto on Ellis street during the temporary absence of the elevator man. On Au- gust 18 H. J. Green and wife arrived here from Manila and went to the San Jacinto. Love got two checks from Green for his trunks, which contained clothing and jewelry of the value of about §1000. Love left the hotel that day and obtained possession of the trunks. One of the trunks, with a portion of Mrs. Green’s clothing, was found in Love's room on Howard street by the detectives. Green has sued the hotel proprietor for the value of the clothing and jewelry. Love ingratiated himself in the good graces of Rev. Dr. R. E. Nunn, 1517 Bush street, and obtalned a letter of introduction to Rev. Dr. L. 8. Jones of San Jose. After Love had left the city Dr. Nunn aseertained that the man had forced an entrance to the church and had stolen a typewriting machine from the study. It was recovered by the de- tectives, and Love has been identified as the man who pawned it. In Ban Jose Dr. Jones procured board and lodging for Love in a private fam- ily. Love showed his gratitude by stealing Dr.. Jones’ gold watch and a pair of shoes. He also stole some clotbing and jewelry belonging to the family where he got free board and lodging. —_——— FOUNDER OF THE Y. M. C. A. TO BE BURIED IN ST.
