WHO REFUSED HIM riety Actress and Her Companion. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Dec. 30.—Dara Stewart, a re- cent arrival from the north, shot at Hilda | Davis, a variety actress, in the Detroit | Hotel at 7 o'clock to-night, and lhen turned the weapon on Frank Thomas, who' was in the room and who interfered to save the woman. The bullet aimed at the woman went wide of its mark. The one intended for Thomas narrowly escaped | bis head. Stewart was insanely jealous of | the woman because she would not marry | him. Thomas grappled with Stewart, while the woman attacked him with a wa- ter pitcher and beat him into insensibility. ! That Stewart intended to murder the wo- | man and commit suicide was apparent from a note in his pocket, which read: “Bury us together. One shall rise troml the dead, the other shall pass into ever- lasting habitation.” The Davis woman met Stewart at Fair- banks. He proposed to her and she re- fused. Stewart found her in a dance hall Friday night.

On the train he was touched for a $2600 check, a wallet containing $100 in real money and a stickpin valued, by his valet, at $250. O'Brien wired San Francisco to stop payment on the check, but he laments the loss of the stickpin, which was a gift from a host of admirers, more than the loss of the money. When the con- queror of Fitzsimmons stepped off the train he was seized by a crowd of friends who holsted him on their shoulders and made a triumphal march to the street, where a band in a tally- ho and a line of carriages were walit- ing. The crowd swelled to several thousand and Philadelphia’s native son | was obilged to make a speech betore the procession moved. Jack thanked the assemblage for their demonstration with his charac- teristic ease and fluency of language. e ——— MODEL YACHTSMEN AWAIT SOME FAVORABLE BREEZES Lack of Wind Has Caused the Post- ponement of Quarterly Regatta on Three Occasions. The model yachtsmen have been compelled on three consecutive Sun- days to postpone their quarterly re- gatta on account of a lack of wind. Two heats were sailed, one by each Model Yacht Club held last week it was decided to sall the regatta over. Donovan”s Witch won the heat sailed by the first section. As there are five boats in this section the Witch was credited with four points. The Presto, owned by Stone, finished second, and thereby earned three points, In the second section there are six boats. The only heat sailed was won by Henry London’s Imp. Roeckner's Apache was second. The latter re- ceived four points and the Imp five. Another effort will be made to hold west wind the regatta could be com- pléted in one afternoon. In the two sections are the following boats: First section—Brown's San Francis- co, Petersen’s Petrel, Brannan's Alice, Donovan’s Witch and M. London's Cricket. Second section—H. London’s Seavey's Spray, Donovan's Roeckner’'s Apache Neptune. Each section will sail three heats and the boats scoring the most poin in the sections will meet in the final The winning boat, together with the winner of the Washington’s Birthday regatta will have the right to chal- lenge Petergen’s Stella for the Dickie Perpetual Challenge Cup.

Mackey Will Prove a Formidable Team Bpecial Dispatch to The Call NBW YORK, Dec. %0.—Francis J. Caro’ lan, the well-known polo player of San Franoisco, who with Mrs. Carolan has been in Emngland for eight months, where he played a great deal on the famous polo grounds, arrived to-day on the Ceitio | of the White Star Iine. ‘With Mr. Carolan weres two famous British polo players, F. W. Menzies and Captain C. P. Wood, who are going with him to San Francisco. Captain Wood was given the ‘“distin- guished service order” for brilllant work during the South African campaign. He said Mr. Menzies will remain in Califor- nia about ten weeks. Mr. Carolan said that Frank J. Mackey, the veteran Cali- fornia polo player, who has a big estate at Leamington, England, and is known on every polo ground in Great Britain, will arrive shortly, with Captain Neil Halg of the Irish Dragoons, who is one of the best polo men in the British army. These two, with those mentioned, will compose the Hurlingham team which will play against the Burlingame quartet of California. They will prove exceptionally strong, and it will be difficult to make up a team at Burlingame or elsewhere which can beat them. OF THE HAZING ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 30.—Two midship- men of the fourth class, Isaac N. Mc Crary of Calvert, Texas, and Gaylord Church of Meadville, Pa., testified posi- tively before the court-martial this aft- ernoon that Midshipman Stephen De- catur Jr. of Portsmouth, N. H,, a mem- ber of the first class, had hazed them Decatur will, according to his counsel, go on the stand on Tuesday, when the court will again meet, and deny under oath every | statement -which the two underclass men made incriminating him. As the evidence of each of . the prosecuting witnesses was to separate incidents and entirely uncorroborated, there is a possibiiity that the evidence will be considered insuficient to convict, but the apparent fact will remain, should the latter make the denial promised, that a perjurer is wearing the uniform of a midshipman of the United States navy. Decatur was arraigned this afternoon and pleaded not guilty to every charge and specification. Midshipman Mc- Crary was then called and testified clearly and positively that he had been hazed by Decatur, who, he said, had sent for him to come to Decatur’s room. There he had ordered him to stand on his head In the closet, and he had done 80 until he was exhausted. Decatur next compelled him to do “No. 16,” and then he was ordered by some one, pos- sibly not Decatur, he said, to perform the “leaning rest.”” All of these exer- cises were continued until the witness could do them no more. The witness showed the court the manner of pe: forming the two exercises. In “No. 16" the hands were placed on the hips and the body lowered and raised by bend- ing the legs outward and straightening them again. In the “leaning rest” the hands and feet were placed on the floor with the body rigid, and .the body raised and lowered by bending and straightening the arms. This was designated as “No, specifications, but was apparently a blunder. McCrary was rigidly cross- examined, but his story was not shaken. Finally he said, in answer to a ques- tion, that he would not believe Decatur if he swore that he had not told him to stand on his head a.nd perform “No. 16" Midshipman Church testified that Decatur had ordered him to stand on his head, but he was not so positive as McCrary, and admitted that he might be mistaken., These were the only wit- nesses for the prosecution. The remainder of the session was taken up by witnesses who testified to the good reputation for truthfulness enjoyed by Decatur. - Those who gave this testimony were Commander W. F. Fullam, Lieutenant Commander Ed- ward E. Capehart, Professor H. P. Huse and Midshipman Lawrence D. Stewart and Charles E. Hovey. Decatur's counsel stated that the ac- cused midshipman will go on the stand Tuesddy and deny specifically every statement to the effect that - he had hazed either MoCrary or Cnurch and that there would be evidence offered tending to establish an alibi. Trenmore Coffin Jr., whose trial for the alleged hazing of Midshipman J. P. Kimbrough w: concluded yesterday, ‘was before thé court for a brief period and heard the record of yesterday read and approved, It is practically con- ceded that Coffin has been convicted and will be dismissed. Charges have been filed against Mid- shipman Worthwright Foster of New Albany, Ind. It is specified in his case that he hazed Midshipman Roberts of Joliet, IIl, by compelling him to gst under the table while eating his sup- per. 7" in the LA R Coffin’s Fute in the Balance. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Although the papers in the case of Midshipman Trenmore Coffin Jr., whose trial by court-martial on the charge of hazing, which has just been concluded at An- napolis, will be forwarded to the Navy Department for execution, approval by’ the superintendent of the sentence of | the court is, by law, final. The law of | June 23, 1874, provides that “any cadet, midshipman or cadet ensign found | guilty of hazing or sald offense by | said court shall, upon the recommenda- | tion of said court, be dismissed; and such finding, when approyed by the su- perintendent, shall be final. and the cadet so dismissed from the naval |- academy shall forever be ineligible to reappointment to said naval academy.” 3 Mflx Attorney General Moody has ruled that the law of March 3, 1903, does not | contradict the law of 1874. Prompt action will be taken by the Navy De- partment as soon as the papers are re- ceived. MILLER LANDS THE FLOOD HANDICAP| ALENCON FIRS Charlatan, the Favorite, Is Away Poorly and Finishes Third. L) Not even rain, hail or the prospect of picking winners out of the slimy, oozy, slushy going with grappling hooks could deter a large, chattering, purple- faced crowd of the faithful followers of raciug from bidding “Adies!” to Ingle- side yesterday for the season. The parting tx’om the track was de- vold of tears or affection. In fact, the great majority acted as If they dldn't care if it nover opened up again. An Arotio breeze fanned the course until the riders, fidgeting about at the post With their mounts, were possessed of 2s much action as a Lake Tahoe trout frozen in a cake of ice. The talent more than held its own though, as three public choices finished first. Suc- ceed, Nealon and Yellowstone were all accorded support. BAD START FOR CHARLATAN. Starter Jake Holtman also had a slide on the ice when he gave the favorits, Charlatan, such a bad send-off in the mile handicap. Jake ducked the shower of snowballs with the best possible grace and endeavored to do better. Charlatan, with Treubel up, had a de® cided call in the betting and when the barrier flew up the brown colt” was turned, partly sideways. Overtaking I'm Joe easily, Loague rushed Sir Ed- ward to the front, but the latter couldn’t stand the pressure. Barney Schreiber's good colt, Nealon, with Radtke in the saddle, grabbed the leader about a furlong away, winning hand-ridden only at the tape by two and a half lengths. The favorite stood a hard drive, and, though leg weary and blowing, took the show from Tenordale. GRASSCUTTER FAILS BACKERS. - A Futurity course selling sprint for two-year-olds, the curtain-raiser, wit- nessed the complete downfall ot Grasscutter, an 11 to 10 favorite. When the barrier was released Mec- Bride beat it fully three lengths with Succeed, while the first cholce got | away all tangled up. Succeed experi- enced little difficulty in beating Avon- ella and Spring” Ban-at the finish. Syphon Girl ran well to the stretch, where she began backing up. When it comes to packing a ton of coal or towing a cargo of gold bricks Blumenshal must be counted in on the deal. In the welter-welght six-fur- long selling affalr Louis Ezell's black gelding opened favorite and receded to three. Just before post time the mar- ket steadied again, 9 to 5 belng the regular quotation. Knapp had him in front from the start, winning ridden out from Young Pilgrim and Tam O'Shanter. Olympian backed up In the betting from 3 to 6. His race war- ranted the liberty taken. The Call’'s Raci BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Procrastinate is about a tan-nounfll better horse in the mud than on a dry track. Again ridden by Radtke, the odds about the gelding were tightened up from 7 to 5 to 9 to 10, and he won the third event pricking his ears. Laura F M finished an easy second over Hsherin. If the ring had not been soused with Yellowstone money, the defeat of Warte Nicht would have meant a good break | for the books. It so happened the subway delegation hammered Yellow- stone down from 6 to 4 Tommy Clark got him away salling to a ragged start. The good thing was straight enough at the wire, but Bock on Warte Nicht could only get to within a length of him. With an intelligent ride Cloche @'Or could have won. Summers & Co.'s Bob Ragon is =& virtuoso and no mistake when the foot- ing is damp. He was piloted by the celored wizard, Leroy Willlams, in the last, and at 7 to § won under a wet sail. Instructor ran second, a quarter of a dozen lengths in front of Tommy Griffin’s Critical. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Radtke piloted two winners. After winning on Blumenthal “Bla Bill” Knapp discarded the silks for street attire Twenty-n.ne bookmakers made the weight. On Tuesday next at 1 o'clock Billy Magrane will sell three two-year-olds, bred at Antrim Stock Farm, in the pad- dock at Oakland. Assoclate Judge Pettengill received a letter recently from C. J. Fitzgerald. The noted ex-starter stated that he would pay California a visit early in the new year. Charley Henshall held a leves in the paddock yesterday. Charley's horses | have been at Ingleside for some time, while their owner has busied himself | wrestling with the Ascot Park game. J. L. Ross, the bookmaker, secured Yellowstone, after hiking the entered selling price from $300 to $1000. To fill the vacant stall W. P. Fine then | claimed Warte Nicht for $525. Procrastinate has displaved such ex- cellent mud form that Charley McCat- | ferty thought he would make a valu- | able addition to his string. Tanner & Co., however met a $400 boost with | the necessary $5 bid to retain. It's strange how badly fooled horse- | men can be at times. The Stable thought Hainault one of the best bar- | | (Swain), gains on the counter and the brown | gelding was heavily played both at the | track and in the city poolrooms.
