Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, May 24.—Potatoes were cooked up into a prohibitive mess to- day when the price per bushel in car line on the street market. The “German fried” and all jumped out of the ordinary masses into the moneyed class, and staved there. Even the “Saratoga chips” were not brittle enough to cause a break in prices. The retail price was easily $1.25 a bushel today and a poor quality at that. The new potatoes from Texas. Ar- kansas and Okiahoma are of an un- usually poor quality this year, and the old stock is practically exhausted. Be- fore the situation eases up, it is pre- dicted. those that eat potatoes at all and buy them at retail yill have to pay $1.50 a bushel for thema. The ma- jority of dealers in South Water street have only a short supply on hand. The famine is felt throughout the country. The cause of the high price for po- tatoes has been the shortage in the last year’s crop‘and the poor quality and the scarcity of the crop from the far Southwest. J —_———— Popular Vallejoite Dead.

SEATTLE, May 24.—The second an- nual bench show of the Seattle Dog Fan- clers’ Association commenced yesterday in Madison Park Pavilion, 217 dogs being here to take part in the events. The most important class to be judged dur- ing the day was the KEnglish setters. Mallwy- sob, a vancouver (B. C.) dog, took the special offered for the best English setter in the show.

War Dance seems to be the only local dog which has a chance to get close enough to make a fight against the dogs Portland has sent a class of bullterriers which will take some of the trophies back to Oregon.

Similarity of Names of Novelists Confuses Public. Dispatch to The Call. Special LONDON, May 24.—Will the Win- ston Churchill who wrote *“The Crisis” and “The Crossing,” agree, after a while, to print a tiny Ameri- can flag after his name to show that he is not the English Winston? And will the accomplished son of Lord Randolph Churchill likewise consent | to embellish the title pages of his books with a small Union Jack lest any should take them for the work of his American namesake? The thing is quite possible, should a plan be adopted which the British | Society of Authors is said to be “ser- iously considering” at the present It is no more or less than that | authors generally should adopt defi- nite “totems” or trademarks in order to distinguish them from other writ- ers who are similarly or almost simi- | larly, named, and it must be admitted | that as things are now there is chance | for a good deal of confusion in the mind of the reading public. Perhaps the case of the two Win- ston Churchills is the most striking instance in point, but one also recalls immédiately that no less than three brothers by the name of Benson are writing simultaneously in this coun- try, that as many Haggards, similarly related, are producing fiction, and that romantic works of a moral char- acter are being turned out by two Hockings—both of them clergymen too—the Rev. Silas and the Rev. Jos- eph. To name these, however, is only to make a beginning, and a well known literary authority has just drawn up a much more formidable list of writers who not only have the same surnames, but in some cases, the same. Christlan nameg. They include three Zangwills, five Williamsons, six Fowlers, seven Murrays, eight Smiths, and no less than nine Watsons—to name only a few out of a veritable literary army. / “Why should each of these writers not adopt some distinctive insignia, or totem ?” asks the patient compiler of the aforementioned list, and he then goes on to advocate ‘humor and com- mon sense’ in the matter of selection. ‘For instance,’ he says in dead ser- iousness, ‘if Cutliffe Hyne printed a kettle after his name to distinguish himself from Conrad Hyne, there would be nothing inappropriate, for his Captain Kettle storfes have made that useful article quite a famous and blood stirring emblem.” In case the thing comes into effect E. F. Benson might distinguish him- self from the other Bensons @ by printing a picture of a Dodo on the title pages of his novels—that is, if any plcture now exists of that noto- riously extinct biped. But think of the possibilities that this scheme has in the matter of future advertisement. Imagine being told to “ask for Laura Jean Libbey’s new romance and insist on seeing the trade-mark (view of Libbey Prison) stamped on fhe coyer!” But, after all, will it be y easier for a reader, say, who has affection for and “insists on getting the books of the Mr. Haggard to remember that his ‘totem’ is a female figure (‘She’) than to recall the simple fact that his first name is Rider and not Andrew or Lionel, as the other literary Hag- gards are respectively named?” Evidently Bret Harte's daughter in- herited a portion at any rate of her father’s literary genius, for quite a promising little tale from her pen ap- pears in the London “Tattler” this week, and I hear that another rather longer story by Tthel Bret Harte | LONDON, May 2¢—_Forolgn Secretary Gres, she calls herself, has been acceptes the London Magazine and is also to appear in the United States, These re almost Miss arte’'s first FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1906. BATTLING DANE CONTINUES it 10 RULE 3 $20,000 in Gold, the Purse LOS ANGELES, May 24.—Battling Nel- son rules favorite over Herrera for the fight tomorrow night, the odds remaining 7 to 10 in favor of the Dane. A bet of | $1000 on Nelson to $650 found no takers today, and there are other big bunches of Neleon money that may not fesl the stake- holder’s touch in spite of the arrival of a ‘large contingent of Herrera's admirers from the north. Manager Tom McCarey of the Pacific Athletic Club placed 1000 $20 gold pieces on exhibition today in the show window of Greenewald’s cigar store, the $20,000 being the purse the club has put up for the con- test. Both men are in fine fettle. Neison con- tinued his training this afternoon at Santa Anita, but Herrera took things easily. Both being at the welght, they are doing only enough to keep within the mark un- til 6 o'clock tomorrow evening, when they will weigh in at the office of Manager Mc- Carey. Each must make 131 pounds then or forfeit his $1000. Of the $20,000 purse, Nelson will receive $4000 as a bonus for making the match, the remainder of the amount to be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. Should Nelson win, his portion will be §13,600, while that of Herrera will be $6400. Her- rera as a winner would get $9600, and | Nelson as a loser $10,600. $ TRONG CHOILE Herrera's Backers Seem Shy in Placing Their Money on Hard Hitter From Bakersfield, Offered, Is Placed on Exhi- * bition for the Fight Fans to Feast Their Eyes. 5 SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAllL. The men must be in the ring by $:30 o'clock tomorrow night. Soft surgical bandages for the hands will be permitted. | Marquis of Queensberry rules, revised, will govern, permitting the men to fight them- selves free from a clinch, but they cannot hold and hit. Charles Evyton, official referee for the Pacific Athletic Club, will referee the con- test. Eddie Graney, Jim Coffroth, Mark Shaughnessy and several other northern sports arrived today, as did Jack Welch. Harry Corbett, Dick Welch and others are expected by boat and traln tomorrow. Herrera says he will force the fighting from the start. Nelson never backed away from an opponent, so the programme, Iif followed, will be that both will pound away at each other in the center of the ring un- til one goes down. Wild reports were sent East last night that Nelson was a nervous wreck. They were fakes from the air. The stories were scoffed at in the Nelson camp today. “The Bat eats, sleeps and works Bke a top,” | “There is no chance of his going stale. There isn't a trace of nervousness in him. If the Dane is beaten it will be because the Mexican has a lucky punch or is the better man.” The seats sales indicate the house will be s0ld out before the men enter the ring.

MOTOR CAR BUILT LIKE A SEA-S0ING CRAFT NOW N U5E Railroad Coach Has Port-Like Windows, Bow, Stern and Turtle-Back Roof. - Constructed fii—rcly of Steel, With Rounded Ends to Prevent Telescoping. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, May 24—Experimental tests on several of the suburban lines of the Erie Raflroad will be made with a motor car belonging to the Union Pa- cific system, which arrived today from the works of the latter company at Omaha. Of striking design, the car is now in the yards of the Erie at Jersey City. It arrived here under its own power, without breakdown or delay dur- ing the long run, and will be put into use at once. Lent to the Erie by E. H. Harriman, the car is the seventh turned out by the latter ralilroad, which is to use them on runs on several of its branch roads. In outward appearance the car is a great departure from the most advanced passenger coaches now in use. It is tha| first of its type. It has decided resem- blance to sea-going craft, with its port- like windows, its “bow,” ‘“stern” and turtleback roof. It is claimed that the car is water-tight, dust-proof and can- not. be telescoped, because of its round- end construction. Built entirely of steel, it is fifty-five feet long and has seating capacity for fifty- seven persons. In the forward end, or “bow,” is located a six-cylinder gaso- line motor of 100 horse-power, which drives the car at a speed of from forty to sixty miles an hour, and recent tests show that as a grade-climber it equals the performance of the best locomotives. although she has had some little ex- perience on the stage. It may be re- membered that the fund which was raised for her benefit some time ago was used in assisting her to open a typewriting bureau in London, and it was Wwith pleasure that I learned from Bret Harte’s daughter that up to the present time this venture has pleas- antly exceeded her anticipations. Judging from the case of Alphonse Karr, one can never be sure at the outset for what reason a statue or other monument will ultimately be erected to one’'s memory. Karr, for instance, if he could have foreseen | that a bust in his honor would be un- veiled on the Riviera—as one was un- veiled last week—would probably have deemed it a fitting recognition of his years of labor as an author, but as a matter of act, it is nothing of the sort. It was put up because Karr was the real founder of the flower-raising industry in France! Karr just missed being a great nov- elist and just missed being a great Journalist, though he did some fine, slashing work for “Les Guepes,” for which he wrote an attack on Sainte- Beave, which is perhaps the bitterest thing of its kind in any language. His real fame, however, was achieved after he had earned his competence and retired. Then he decided that the spade was mightier than the pen and set himself to become “the first gar- dener in France.” Before his time the flowers for,Riviera dinner parties had to be imported from Genoa. He changed all that, with the result that the Riviera now produces flowers for all Europe, and so Karr has his statue—but not as a_writer! He de- served some kind of a monument, however, if -only for his epigrams, which were famous, especialy that which he uttered when first it was proposed to abolish capital, punish- ment in Francs ““'Tis a good plan,” he said, “but let Messieurs the, ns commenece!"

Madden for Youngster During Day. Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, May 24.—Bat Master- son showed today that he is one of | the fastest two-year-olds in training. With 112 pounds up he ‘“spread- eagled” his field in the last race at Gravesend and won by five lengths pulled up. He beat Computer, an $8000 colt, in a romp. The merit of Bat Masterson’s per- formance was in the weight he car-| ried and the speed he displayed. He ran the five furlongs around two turns in 1:00 3-5. This exhibition of speed was by long odds the finest any colt has shown in a race this season. The men who were most highly elat- | ed over Bat Masterson's great speed were M. L. and A. C. Schwartz and John E. Madden. The Schwartzes bought the youngster béfore the race for $20,000 from Madden. He sold the horse on the strength of a recent private trial. A. C. Schwartz lifted Miller, the rider of the colt, into the saddle be- fore the race. He then turned to John A. Drake and told him he did not in- tend to bacdk the youngster, but hoped that he would win. After the race he was so delighted that he gave Mil- ler $100 for his few minutes work in the saddle. Summary: First race. about six furlongs—Pater won, Oyama_second, Optician third. Time, 1:11.

SAN DIEGO, May 24—“If we can have strong winds and what is called heavy salling weather for the ocean race o Honolulu we will pass Diamond Head a winner some time about sundown of June 23" That 18 the way C. L. Tutt of Colorado Springs, owner of the yacht Anemone, sizes up the race, which is to start from San Pedro on Jume 1l “if we have light sailing weather we will make the trip in about fourteea | days,”, he continued, “but if it comes lon to blow we will cut a day or more off that with ease. The Anemone is the largest boat in the race and if it is | heavy weather she will be in her element. The Lurline is the next largest boat. but though the ketch rig of the Anemeone is | not the best for racing 1 belleve that in |heavy weather we can show the yacht name to the Lurline all the way over. " The Anemone will carry a crew of ten men, including the captain, when she enters the race, and the hopes of all ten and the owner included are for heavy weather during the entire time from the starting point to Honolulu. The yacht, which has just come around from New | York, is 92 feet on her water line and 112 feet ever all, has a beam of 19 feet and § inches and a draft of 11 feet. She Is “ketch” rigged, that is, her spars and sails are arranged on the plan of a schooner, with the difference that what would be the foresail on a boat of the | schooner type Is proportionally much | larger and the “mainsail” greatly reduced. | The work of putting the yacht into shape | for the race to Homolulu is progressing rapidly and by next Tuesday it is ex- pected the boat will be hauled up on the ways for a thorough cleaning of her hull. The new spars have been practically fin- ished and some of them are in place now. Yesterday the men at work on the boat were engaged in staining the sticks and completing the work on the spars yet unfinished. The short smokestack will be removed lin a few days and when the boat is on | the ways the propeller will also be taken |off. Painters are also at work on the | Interfor of the yacht and in a few days |a complete acetylene gas plant will be | installed for the lighting of the cabins. | A complete set of new sails have been | sent from New York and they will be tried here. As soon as the yacht has been given a tryout on the bay and in a short run outside she will sail for Catalina and then go to the starting point of the race. ————————— LONDON IS TO FURNISH FREE MEALS TO PUPILS Sixteen Per €ent of Children in Ele- mentary Schools Are Underfed. In England the question of feeding school children is being discussed, | just as it was debated in this city not |long ago. The Countess of Warwiwex | contributes an article to the Fort- nightly Review in which she says that hundreds of thousands of chil- dren are passing through English ele- | mentary. schools with little other re- |sult from their education than op- | thalmia, spine curvature, nervous ir- ritability and the seeds of comsumpe tion. In one school in a very bad district “90 per cent of the children are un- able, by reason of their physical con- dition to attend to their work in a proper way, while 33 per cent, during six months of the year, from October to March, require feeding by the au- thorities.” | A school inspector estimated the number of actually underfed children in London schools as aproximately 122,000, or 18 per cent of the elemen- tary school popuiation. This does not include the number of children | improperly fed. | A feeding agency in Lambeth coped with from 12 to 15 per cent of the school children, and in the poorest districts 25 to 30 _per cent. In the slums of Edinburgh a large | proportion of children were found to be half starved. Dr. Kelly, Catholic Bishop of Ross, says that in the south of Ireland children commonly came to school underfed. |__In March it was stated in the House of Commons that 20 per cent of this class of children, covering about one million children in the British | Isles, were “in an entirely hopeless condition.” The London School Dinners Asso- ciation alone gave 122,605 a week to board school children, of which 110, 000 were given free. Yet some dis- tricts appear to have been searcely touched. In the day industrial schools, where the children had three meals a day, they were found to be bright and in- telligent, physically and mentally sat- isfactory. So potent a factor was the regular and wholesome supply of food that although they lived at home their condition was thoroughly satis- | factory. —— e A Plain Spoken Man.
