The Board of Education yesterday set Saturday, June 9, as the date for holding the regular annual competitive cxamination for positions as substitutes in the Public School Department. The oxamination will be held in the Girls' High School auditorium. The board has requested the Supervisors to make provision for the salaries of 130 addi- tional teachers, it being expected that the number mentioned will be needed to keep pace with the Increasing at- tendance of pupils Quring the fiscal year 1906-1907. There have been 110. teachers appointed so far this year..

CHICAGO, April 5.—A dispatch to the Record-Herald ' from Madison, Wis, says: At a meeting last night the stu. dents-of the Universithy of Wisconsin adopted resolutions empphatically de- Petitions to that éffect were circulated through the gathering, and every one present signed. A committee of ten was appointed to circulate the petition | or reselutions among- the co-eds for sig- | natures. The resolutiens will be pre- sented to the faculty at a special meet- ing tonight.” President Van Hise, who entertained President Jordan of the Leland Stan- ford Jr. University of California last night at dinner, said he had held a con- ference with a committee of students and found that the sentiment is largely in faver of the retention of football under certain regulations. He frankly admitted that he favored the sentiment of the student body, but he would not venture a guess as to the probable ac- tion of the faculty. —_—— mfimv SYSONBY IS oUT OF (‘ARTEII.

A Chinese resident of this city, name unknown, is supposed to have instigat- ed the attempted invasion. He had| been loitering = about Howard-street whart all day, and at frequent intervals engaged members of the Indradeo’s crew in conversation. It was this re-| peated exchauge of words that aroused | Captain Esterbrook's suspicions, and when the Chinese tried to join their countryman on the wharf the skipper and his officers were there to spoil the scheme. Sing Fye, the Indradeo’s carpenter, and Ah Thi. a quartermaster, were tire | Orientals who tried to join the local Chinese colony. Sing Fye owns a bicy- | cle and was busy all Wednesday over- | hauling and oiling his machine. ABout § o'clock. when the officers should have been burning the incense of after-dinner cigars and dreaminsg. as they watched the curling smoke, of their far-away homes, Ah Thi tip-toed to the gang plank and was halfway | down when Captain Esterbrook grab- bed him by the queue. Taking a turn around his hand with the pigtail the captain brought Ah Thi to a full stop. A yank on the pigtail and the yellow man assumed 2 sitting position. An- other vank and he was trayeling uphill as. fast as British brawn could pull him. Meanwhile Sing Fye had made fast his bicyele tor a ' heaving line and was lowering it to the wharf when some- body took possession of his pigtail and pulled him to the deck. It was managed so aquietly that the | Chinese on the wharf had no idea that his plot surreptitiously to increase the population of the Unitetd States had been frustrated. Impatient at the delay | he stepped out from behind the shadow of a coal hopper. 'Captain Esterbrook saw him, recognized him as the man who bad been hanging arcund all day, and quietly told two of his dfficers to| catch the fellow. The officers did their | best, but John Chinaman was too| speedy and made good his retreat. | Sing Fye and Ah Thi were placed in irons and locked in the brig. The other Chinese and the Lascar members of the | crew were mustered and counted. and for the rest of the night a keen watch | was kept on board the Indradeo. Captain Esterbrook yesterday ap- pealed to the Chinese bureau for as-| sistance in restraining the Chinese members of his ecrew from going ashore, but was told that the United States Government could do nothing but fine him in case any of the Celes- tials escapéd from the ship. The irons were taken off Sing Fye and Ah Thl yesterday afternoonm, but thew are still | behind a securely locked ' teak-wood door, and will be rstrained of their lib- erty until the Indradeo goes to sea. —_—————————— SOLDIERS TO PROTECT THE NATIONAL PARKS Troops Will March to Yo- semite and Sequoia Reservations. ’ On May 1 Troops K and M of the Fourteenth Cavalry will leave the Pre- sidio, under the command of Major Harry C.

Nine Is Snowed Under” by a Seore of 8 to 0 CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDED R e Wolter's Bewildering Curves . and Costly Errors Causei Result to Be One-Sided s Santa Clara’s expert young expo- nents of the national game slaughtered the crack team of balltossers from St. Mary's College on the Idora Park field yesterday afternoon, shutting them out by a score of 8 to 0 and winning the. amateur championship of California. Pitcher Wolter's wizard left wing and the weakness of the St. Mary's lads for butting into the error column were the principal factors in bringing defeat and sorrow to the followers of the pink and blue. Nearly 3000 persons witnessed the contest, which was the deciding one in a serles of three, each club having one vietory to its credit. Both colleges had a regiment of rooters and a band and these worked overtime to urge their . nines against the foe. Mayor Frank K. Mott tossed the first ball over the plate and ‘when Umpire Jim McDonald caled it a strike an agent of Mike Fisher of Frenso wanted to sign the head of Oakland's govern- ment to do slab stunts for the Rafsin Pickers. Twirler Wolter pulled himself and matés out of tight places in the first and second innings, after fAlling ™ the bases with St. Mary's runners. The southpaw was accorded big league sup- port, and he had the local lads on his ; puzzle staff all the time. MecGregor was walloped for thirteen hits, including a triple-sacker by Friene and a double by Lappin. Shert-« stop Joyce of St. Mary's carried off the honors of the occasion in the record of . misplays, heaping up four corpulent er- rors. Parke Wilson, coach for St. Ma- ry’s, directed his students from the * bench, while Happy Hogan advised the Santa Clara boys what to do and when to do it.

'Ilfl — Master Painters’ Petition Is Opposed " Members of Journeymen’s Union ' Before Supervisors. The Supervisors’ building committee yesterday considered the petition of the Master Painters’ and Decorators’ Asso- ciation that all painting to be done upon schools and other public bulld- inga be let by contract to the lowest bidder. A committee of journeymen painters, twenty-six of whom are working as civil service painters for the city, objected to the granting of |- the petition. It was represented by A. D. Smith, business agent of the Paint- ers' Union, that under the contract sys- tem the painting of public bufldings had not been properly done, and it had taken flve years for the civil service painters to restore the painting to good condition. The building committee re- quested the Painters’ Unlon and the Master Painters’ Association to come to some agreement on the proposition and make a report in two weeks. —_————— ; - West End Club Meets. - The West End Thirty-seventh Dis- trict Republiean Club formed a perma- { ‘ 1
