Policemen Frank W. Esola and Wil Zem E. Rice were tried before the Com- niesioners last night on charges growing out of their entering Neubauer & Co.’s sarehouse at 18 Pirst street, under oir- oumstances that aroused suspicion chief- #y because they failed to make a report ©f the matter. Their action was brought to light @ur- ing the recent Avorce suit of Policeman Helms. The patrolmen explained last night thet they made no report because the night watchman had asked them not to for the reason that he would lose his position if his employer learned that a window had been found open fin the warehouse.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15.—Punched into & pulp, his face systematically ham- mered with every blow on the pugilistic books for full twenty roungds, game little | Bddie Hanlon met his waterloo last night at the hands of Kid Herman, whose showing stamps him as one of the olever- est, fastest fighters who ever boxed here at any weight. Outclassed and outpoint- ed from the first, battered to the red- ness of a pickled beet, swollen of mouth and puffed of eye, Hanlon took his medi- cine itke the man he is. He acknowl- edged the corn without a murmur, grasp- ing his opponent's hand warmly at the close and mustering up a wan, pitiful remnant of a smile, perhaps the gamest thing he d!d in a whole evening replete with brave bearing up under a rapid fire of uppercuts, jabs, jolts and full arm smashes that would have put out ten less sturdy battlers than himself: Standing up for once, cutting out the crouch that was fast making him un- popular, Halon, though beaten, quit with more friends than he had two hours be- fore. The spectators with one volce cheered him and will be glad to pay good ) money to see him go another time. Beaten by one of the most finished ar- tists in the business the native son had at least the assurance that some who rank higher in the fistic scale would have Kid Herman is likely to prove the rock upon which more than one pugilistic ambition is cast away. Game as they grow, strong as a little bull, long on endurance and & free punishing hitter from any position, he conducts a battle with consummate generalship and is as hard to hit as a ghost. In and out of the clinches inces ly pumping in hard right-hand uppercuts with occasional smashing crosses flush upon the mouth and face, the Chicago boy had Hanlon guessing from the first fire, One round was almost a repetition of every other with Hanlon acting as re- celver general throughout. No cleaner cut decision ever was given and no one could find fault with it, not even the beaten man himself. Hanlon was an 8 to 10 favorite. There was not & moment from start to finish of every round that the two lightweights were not in action, and every gong found them fighting. Hanlon forced the pace and made it & terrific one from the start and never for an instant gave ground. —_————————— LABOR COUNCIL STANDS BY NEWSPAFER BOYCOTT After Discussion Typographical Union Resolution Is Rejected With- out Indorsement. o There was a long discussion at the meeting of the San Francisco Labor Coun- cil last night over the action taken by the Typographical Union in its advocacy of fair dealing with an evening newspaper which is boycotted by the Building Trades Council. When almost every del- | egate present had expressed his views on the subject the council declined to indorse the resolution presented by the Typo- graphical Union as against a co-ordinate branch of the Labor Council whose body eaw fit to declare a boycott. In support of the stand taken by the Typographical Unfon, the City Front Federation went one better at its last meeting and adopted a strong set of reso- lutions indorsing the stand taken by the Typographical Union and the Allled Printing Trades Council in their protest against the use of a boycott, thus divid- ing the unionized forces of labor on the issue. Added to the list of these labor unions which have already elected their officers Carpenters’ Unfon No.-1052 elected the fol- lowing at the meeting last night: Presi- dent, F. C. Luckenbach; vice president, J. §. Cale; treasurer, E. W. Hutchinson; recording secretary, J. O. Burckhalter; conductor, A. E. Verlinden; financial seo- retary, T. C. Hewton; warden, F. H.

The installation of officers of the Cale- donfan Club was held last night at Scottish hall. The installing officer was ex-Chief Angus McLeod, and ex-Chief A. M. Macpherson was master of ceremonies. The ball was crowded with members. The officers installed were: Chief, D. D. McRae; first chieftain, D. J. McFarland; second chieftain, F. F. [Finlay; third chleftain, James H. Duncan; fourth chief. tain, J. W. Cameron; physiclan, Dr. J. A. J. McDonald; directors, Neil Lindsay, R. McD. Murray, Charles Macdonald, R. B. McClellan and Allan McDonald. After the officers were installed the meeting resolved itself into a stag party, Chief McRae presiding. Two or three hours were enjoyably spent in speech, song, recitation and music. Toasts were drunk to ‘“The Land We Live In,” “The “The Judiciary,” “The Press” and “The Officers of the Club,” which were responded to by Horace Cookson, Judge George H. Cabaniss, Charles Morrison, Chief McRae and others. Songs were rendered by Horace Cookson, D. H. Finnle, James R. Watson and others, and David McNelll recited “Tam O’'Shanter.” The Iliterary com- mittee, assisted by Willlam Mitchell, had charge of the arrangements. The hall was beautifully decorated in evergreens and new flags of the “Stars and Stripes” and the Lion rampant of Scotland, The annual banquet of the club will be held at the Occidental Hotel on Tuesday evening. —_— e Price of Plate Glass Advamces.

'Prominence Scores at a Lengthy 1 Quotation. | —_— BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Gregor K, whose itinerary has included | nearly all of the Southern and Middie| Western tracks for the past three years, became revivified yesterday by the rain and sloppy footing. He made a small field | look foolish in the concluding mile run at | Ingleside. The clockers had him touted | from Bteve SBanguinett’s to the life-saving | station on the beach, and at odds of 11 to | & the gelding won by as many splashes as he wanted to. Teddy Robinson, who piloted him, scraped the corners closely without losing any ground or twisting s | pedal. St. George took the place and Blue Eyes ran third. At the last minute | the money was shoveled into the books on Gateway, making the Burnett entry an 8 to § favorite. He ran with a declded list to the starboard, and if his showing | wes a true one mud is not his forte. | FIELDS ARE UNWIELDY. | Large and unwieldy flelds caused bet- tors to be wary and inclined to choke up. Favorites more than held their own at that, capturing four events. The colors of “Boots” Durnell were seen for the first time at the meeting on Prom- | j inence, in the opening two-year-old dash, and the filly was returned a winner. Her price receded from 8 to 8 and 10. Wiley got the outsider home more than a length before Abe Meyer, another long one. Le- gal Form, the post favorite, finished back | in the ruck. Just because he possessed some early speed, the aged campaigner Olymplan, from Johnny Schorr's stable, picked up the first mile purse. A 13 to' 5 choice, Knapp kept him golng just long encugh to beat Love's Labor a nose. Leash was a close third, after being badly interfered with in the stretch. Loague finished third on Hi Caul Cap, favorite for the second mile selling affair. The big gelding requires strong handling | and Loague’s efforts were entirely inade- | quate. Crosswaite astride Cloche d'Or, | after looking hopelessly out of it, mowed | down his fleld and finally defeated the | pacemaker, Tam O’Shanter, more than a length. Gossiper with Tommy Clark up and a 2 | to 1 favorite led her fleld from start to | finish in the Futurity course selling sprint. The filly went to the post| favorite and splashed in a couple of | lengths in front of Escamado, the Bald- win entry. Show honors went to The Roustabout., It was fortunate indeed for Briers that she beat the gate in the mile and fifty vard run, decided under seliing condi- tions. The advantage thus gained at the start served her in good stead at the end, for Rey Dare closed strongly, losing | the decision by & scant half length only. Royalty, the runner up for seven fur- longs, finished third. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Tommy Clark piloted two winners— Gossiper and Briers. The Keene brothers, with their big string and Jockey Herman Radtke, | will not leave California for New Or- leans just yvet. Jack Keene started for the railroad office to secure a car yes- terday, but at the last moment changed his mind and will stay. This will be good news for turfgoers. The Keene | stable horses are always out for the money, and Radtke has become a public idol. While the Pacific-Union handicap will attract a splendid field of two-year-olds to the post this afternoon, it is over- shadovd by the interest displayed in the meeting of Bearcatcher and Cruza- dos. Trainer Tom Cook of the Bald- win stable thinks no horse in Califor- nia can beat Cruzados at five and a half furlongs. Mud, too, is the bay sprint- er's trump card, but fog is barred, owing to a wind affection. Garnet Fer- guson stated that mud would sult his brown whirlwind all right, although he would have preferred to sce a dry track. As neither of the cracks is a particularly good actor, Starter Jake Holtman will possibly send them away to a flying start. Harry Beck broke down hopelessly on the far turn in the third race, and a few minutes later a kindly bullet end- ed the old gelding's career. Owing to a death in the family of Charles Kerr, the Antrim Stock Farm yearlings were not sold last evening. Instead they will be led into the ring at Chase’s salesyard on Monday night next. The yearlings from Ruinart Stock Farm and Papinta Ranch will be disposed of at the same time. Barney Schreiber offered Keene Bros. $1000 a month for a second call -con- tract on the services of Radtke yester- day. This applied to the California season. —_—— GREYHOUNDS WILL START IN THREE CLASSY STAKES Three stakes, with entries of classy greyhounds, will be run to-day and to- morrow at Ingleside Park.

Sonoma Valley Athletic Club, resulted in Koster belng knocked out in the second round.

SEEXS DEATH IFTER FALURE Grieving over the loss of the savings of a lifetime, Benjamin D. Rice, aged 54 years, attempted to end his life yesterday by inhaling illuminating gas in a lodging- house at 1049 Market street. The attempt was frustrated by treat- ment at the Central Emergency Hospital by Dr. Tillman. Rice wrote a number of letters accusing his associates In a scheme to acquire a fortune quickly of “legally robbing” him. From the tenor of these letters he had evidently contemplated killing his assoclates. The men whom the old man imagines have wronged him are: E. W. Conant, Treasurer of Santa Clara County, and E. C. Stowe and H. Ray Fry of San Jose. They were associated with him in the Golden State Mining Company, which cor- poration is also promoting a scheme to Ppit and candy prunes. Rice came here from Kansas about four months ago with $2000 which hg was anx- fous to swell into a fortune. The prune candying scheme interested him and he invesgfed all his money in it. Rice was electéd vice president of the concern. He says that no work was done by the com- pany and he sought to get control and push the scheme. In this he falled. “I cannot get my money back.” reads one of the letters of the would-be sulcide, “therefore I am going to step down and out. For the money Is all that I have, and the trouble has started me to drink- ing, which I have not done for some time. I have found out that even if the business did succeed that they expect to freeze me out so that I would get nothing any way."” SAN JOSE, Dec. 15.—County Treasurer B. W. Conant, who is charged by Rice with complicity in a scheme to swindle him out of $2000, emphatically denies Rice's story. He states that Rice saw an advertisement in the papers offering stock of the Golden State Mining Company for sale and invested his money after coming here to investigate. The Golden State Mining Company is a corporation in which a number of well- known San Joseans are interested. The company owns the patent rights in a process for candying prunes, as well as for a prune pitting machine, which was invented by Colonel Rickert of this city. Conant sald: . “In my opinfon Rice was not in his right mind when the attempt at sulcide was made. He had been drinking herd for some time and his actions have been very erratic. There is no truth in the story that we robbed him. He is in the same position as the rest of us who have put money up to promote the prune can- dying enterprise.”” —————— Young Choynski Kmocked Out.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.—The Los Angeles baseball team won the Paciflo Coast League pennant for 1905 to-day by defeating Tacoma, 3 to 1. This gave the home team five out of the nine post-season games to be played with Tacoma for the championship, each team having won half of the divided season. Gray was the principal factor in to-day's game. He pitched In great form throughout and allowed Tacoma but three scattered *hits. The visitors’ only score was made when Mohler stole home. One of the spectacular foa- tures was a triple play by Tacoma in the eighth inning. Dillon had singled and Cravath doubled, advancing Dillon to third. Ellis then bunted to Nordyke and was out unassisted, while Dillon, attempting to make home, was run down between the bases and Cravath, also endeavoring to score, was out in the same way. Tacoma showed a new line-up, with Mohler, formerly of the San Franciseo team, at second and C. Hall of Seattle in the pitcher’'s box. Score: NGELES. . R. BH. SR PO. A.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—A cable dfs- patch to the Herald from Caracas, Venezuela, says: President Castro withdrew Wednes- day not only the objectionable phrase, but his counter protest, thus avolding the necessity of answering the reply of France to the Venezuelan memoran- dum, which would have made a settle- ment impossible. This act is a confirmation of the an- nouncemnt of the policy of President Castro in the line of a resumption of universal friendship. PLACER COUNTY WILL SOON BE NO PLACE FOR HOBORS AUBURN, Dec. 18—The Grand Jury brought in reports this afternoon recom- mending that the Supervisors compel va- grants to wear striped suits and work on the county property; also to emcourage the Justices of the Peace to give these vagrants long sentences and adopt the Bertillon system of measurements.
