In spite of adverse climatic conditions the attendance was good and the book- makers failed to lay up anythink. In the two-year-old scramble Lassen beat the favorite, Mrs. Matthews, a nose, B.

AR RIS T {0k THREE MEN ARE INJURED BY FALLING BRICK WALLS Carpenters Working on Building at Jackson and Dupont Streets Caught Beneath Great Weight. Three men were injured, one perhaps fatally, by falling walls yesterday. Gui- seppe Papa, whose address is unknown, and John Benson of 43 Merritt.street were caught beneath a pile of bricks at California and Kearny streets, and Al Pivie, engaged in tearing down a wall at Jackson and Dupont streets, had a similar experience. All three were treated at the Harbor Hospital. Papa is seriously injured about the head and | may die. Benson was also badly injured about the head, and Pivie had his thigh torn from his hip and is in a precarious condition. Both of the for- mer have possible fractures of the skull. Papa and Benson were constructing a frame building for the California Toy {and Notion Company, and contractors |were tearing down one of' the brick of Goldberg, Bowen & Co's immediately adjoining. John son, who was in charge of the wrecking crew, was warned that the | #mall building might be crushed un- less extra precaution be taken in razing the wall. The warning was of no avail, but proved to have been wisely given, for when the wall fell it crushed the frail structure and buried six carpen- ters in the debris.. It required nearly one hour’s time to dig Benson and Papa out. The other men escaped with a few slight bruises. | Pivie was engaged In digging be- | neath the brick foundation of a build- ing at Jackson and Dupont streets when the structure collapsed and | buried him beneath an immense weight. | Considerable difficulty was experienced |in extricating him.

BLOOD POISON HILLS SYSONBY Bruised Frag in Forefoc.4 the Cause of the Fatal Malady. James R. Keene Carries a $100,000 Policy on Great Horse. NEW YORK, June 18.—James R. Keene, owneér of Sysonby, which died yesterday, was deeply grieved at the loss of this great race horse. He ordered a post mortem examina- tion and the physicians settled con- clusively that the horse did not die of the skin disease for which he had been treated for several months. The blood poisoning which caused death origi- nated In a badly bruised frog of the right forefoot. The skin affection had been the re- mote cause, it is surmised, for the horse had stamped in his stall to ex- press his dislike for the itching of his skin. The frog had been terribly bruised. There is a mesh of small blood vessels there. + An abscess formed and the entire coronet was found to be full of pus. The spleen and liver were found to be greatly enlarged, but the huge lungs and stout heart of the horse were unaffected. When Sysonby first showed symp- toms of the skin trouble soon after training began this spring, Mr. Keene was dissatisfled with the progress the thoroughbred was making toward re- covery and had his own physician at- tend the horse. Everything possible was done. Sysonby's sufferings were pitiable and during part of the illness the horse was strapped up to prevent its injuring itself. It was stated last night that Mr. Keene was recently offered over $200,000 for Sysonby by an English- man. He carried $100,000 insurance on the thoroughbred. W. C. HAY IS SOME JOCKEY.

WROTE 0 LE 00U WHILE LIVING WITH HER ALLEGED VIGTIM Love Letters o?chused Woman Show She Was False to MacVicar. STOCKTON, June 18.—The prosecu- tion closed its case against Mrs. Emma Le Doux, charged with the murder of her husband, A. N. McVicar, this aft- ernoon. Going into the motive for the murder the prosecution got in a num- ber of letters this morning which Mrs. Le Doux had written to Eugene Le Doux after her marriage to McVicar and before the bigamous marriage to Le Doux. These letters are replete with endearing terms and declarations ot undying love. They had been read to Le Doux by his brother, a 19-year- old boy, the man being unable to read or write. The letters all went in un- der persistent obfections on the part of the defense on the ground that the evidence was illegally secured by the prosecution. Other important evidence was that of Chemist R. R. Rodgers, who testi- fied that a man could live in the trunk in evidence, hermetically sealed, for from twenty to thirty minutes; indefi- nitely, except for food and water, in the condition in which the trunk was found. Cross-examination brougit out that the witness had remained in the trunk forty minutes this morning with- out inconvenience, under similar con- ditions, with regard to clothing, as had obtained in the case of McVicar. Rodgers had taken his pulse and res- piration every three minutes, and talked with the District Attorney, and enough light came in through cracks to permit him to read the thermometer and tell the time. ENJOYING LIFE N TENT G SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. SEBASTOPOL, June 18.—The Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of California is encamped at the Barlow ranch, near here. One hundred and four boys are enjoving tent life. The camp consists of fifteen tents, with kitchen, laundry and mending departments. Military discipline governs. The serious business of the camp is berry picking. The earnings of the camp are given to the boys, except for a small deduction for camp expenses. Last year the boys received $1900, most of which was invested in clothing, given to parents or put in the bank. Ample time is allowed for, recreation, and baseball, basket ball, tennis, quirts, ninepins and football are en- gaged in by the boys. This sammer outing has come to be a regular fea- ture of the work of the society an is a source of much pleasure to the boys, not only by reason of the money earned, but for the joy given by the ‘vacation from school worl & The camp is in of Assistant charge Superintendent George E Turn % e L L, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1506 DAVIS TENNIS CUP_ REMAINS IN ENGLAND BRITONS OUTPLAY AMERICAN STARS LONDON, June 18.—Those who an- ticipated a tame finish of the Dwight F. Davis international tennis cup match at Wimbledon today were pleas- antly surprised, the outstanding singles, S. H. Smith against Holcombe Ward and H. L. Dougherty against R. D. Little, providing some of the best play of the tournament. The specta- tors included American Champion Beals C. Wright, who was out of the competition owing to an injury to his hand. = Mr. Wright's condition is now so satisfactory that the doctor’s visits have been discontinued. Smith played a splendid game, and it was only after securing the first two sets, -1, 6-0, that he gave Ward an opportunity of showing his skill. The American had been able to win anly the sixth game of the first set, but when he entered on the last set he showed all his old dash. Smith, how- ever, played a cool and resourceful game, winning a hard set by 6-4. Dougherty gave a good exhibition in the second set, winning it, 6-3. He opened the third set with a loss, but won the next two games. Then ensued a ding-dong struggle, Little eventually proving successful, 8-6. In the fourth set vougherty played with great dis- patch, winning by 6-1,.and again drew level with two sets all. Little took service promptly, scoring Ward and Little Surprise the Spectators by a Wonderful Rally at the Finish. { Beals Wright Looks Hopelessly On as Countrymen Meet Crushing Defeat. 1 EDITED BY | R A SMYTH | PHILLIES GLIMB P ONE ROTEH {Hartsel, Kni_ght and Sey- bold Save the Day in Ninth.

Yotk felded badly and MEAT DISGUSSED IN PARLIAMENT LONDON, June 18.—Chicago meat again formed the subject of several questions in the House of Commons to- day. Mr. Hicks-Beach (Conservative), son of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, asked War Secretary Hal- dane what quantity of Chicago canned meat was supplied to the troops in South Africa during the late war and what proportion of enteric deaths ought more properly have been de- seribed as due to ptomaine poisoning. The secretary replied that rather more than half the canned meat supplied to the British troops in South Africa dur- ing the late war came from the United States. He could not say how much of this came from Chicago. The War Office knew nothing of any cases of enteric fever Wwhich could be classed as ptomaine poisoning. Mr. Lea (Liberal) wanted to know whether, in view of the fact that the committee on agriculture of the United States House of .Representatives had omitted in drawing up the meat in- spection bill to stipulate that the packers stamp the date of manufac- ture on each article of food sold, the War Office would not issue an army order requiring every can of meat sup- plied to the army to he plainly stamped with the date of manufacture. The secretary reassured Mr. Lea, in- forming him that it had long been a condition of ordinary War Office con- tracts that tins of preserved food must have the date of manufacture stamped visibly inside the tins. Replying to a question based on the discovery in the dining-rooms of the House of Commons of a box marked “Armour’'s (St. Louls, Chicago and Kansas City) chickens,” Mr. Jacohy, chairman of the kitchen committee, as- sured the House that no food of any kind used in the House of Commons comes from Chicago. Mr. Jacoby added that he was making an investigation as to how the box came on the prem- ises. Mr. Starkey (Conservative) asked if in view of the fact that several per- sons died recently at Hull after eat- ing Argentine meat and the unsani- tary conditions under which American meat was prepared the president of the Board of Trade would not take im- mediate steps to have each consign- ment of foreign meat, tinned or other- wise, inspected on arrival in this coun- try, and a certificate issued showing the date of inspection. The president of the Board of Trade, however, said he was not in a position at present to take the course suggested, but, he added, that the board was considering the question of obtaining further pow- ers for dealing with imported foods. AGREE ON MEAT BILL. President and Members of the Com- mittee Reach Accord. WASHINGTON, June 18.—The basis of a complete agreement on the meat inspection legislation between Presi- dent Roosevelt and the House commit- tee on Agriculture was arrived at to- day at the White House. Speaker Can- non represented the committee in this instance, and subsequently spent some time explaining the situation to the committee in its room at the Capitol. The bill was practically completed when the committee adjourned today. It will authorize an annual appro- priation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost of inspection and will contain no pro- vision for the levy of an assessment to make up any deficiency in the amount available for this work, as suggested by Mr. Cowan, representing the Texas Cattle Growers' Association, and later urged by the President. The court review provision will not be contained in the measure. This ac- tion meets the suggestion of the Presi- dent. The words “in the judgment of the Secretary of Agriculture” will not ‘be contained in the measure. This action meets the suggestion of the President also. , The section waiving the eivil service law for one year in the selection of inspectors will go out of the provision; also one of the President's recommen- dations. 2 There is to be no date on the label of meat products. In this the Pre: dent yields to the committee. The lan- guage which gives inspectors the right to the packing plants at all times is amplified by the words “whether the same be in operation or not.” ‘With these changes made, the Pres- ident has indicated his entire satis- faction with the measure, which was reported from the committee as a sub- stitute for the Beveridge amendment and was today recommitted to the com- mitte that the changes might be made. ?
