TURN.
Gripman Morrison Tried
for Perjury.
A Railroad Attorney Defends the
Accused-A Strong Case Pre-.
sented by the Prosecution.

The preliminary examir alton of Malcolm
Morrison, charged with swearing falsely
against John Tyrrell when he was being
tried for murder. was commenced in De-
partment of the Police Court yesterday.
At TyrrelPs trial Morrison swore that
he saw the prisoner on a McAlllster-street
car on the morning of September 10, and
that he had with him the satchel marked
"Axel Sorensen." which was subsequently
found filed with high explosives in a
Third-street lodging-house. After Tyrrell
was arrested and accused of having caused
the explosion at CurtIn's lodging-house
Morrison picked him out of several men in
the City Prison as the man who had the
satchel. Tyrrell was acquitted and at once
engaged Attorney Burnette G. Haskell to
prosecute Morrison and two others who
had testified against him for perjury.
The musty courtroom was packed when
the case was called. Sailors, policemen,
detectives and employees of the Southern
Pacific Railway jostled each other. and
Southern Pacific attorney appeared to de-
fend the prisoner.
THAT'S because Morrison is a railroad
spotter." Attorney Haskell remarked in q
stage whisper.
After the attorney for the defense had
exhausted all his technical objections and
the patience of the spectators q transcript
of Morrison's evidence against TyrrelI was
read.
C. F. Martin testified that Morrison told
him that Tyrrell was not the man who
bad the satchel.

Southern Pacific attorney.

LULU E. JOSSELYN.
Judge Coffey Will Have
Her Produced.
General McComb's Petition to Have
the Young Girl Confided to the
Society'S Care.

Judge Coffey is doing bis best to probe
the mystery connected with the disappear
ance Of Lulu Z. JosselyD. whose elder sis
ter, Alma, FLED such a sensational suit. the
other day. against George Staacke, the
California-street merchant.
The proceedings came up upon a petit
tion presented to the court by General
John McComb, secretary of the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Children.
McComb wishes to be appointed guardian
of the girl, who is now IA years old, on the
ground that her mother is not a fit and
proper person to be entrusted with her
care. This petition is opposed both by
Mrs. Josselyn and Mrs. George Staacke.
who adopted Luu's father many years
ago.
Attorney Burnett represented the So
ciety and ex-Judge Louderback Mrs.
Staacke and other defendants. The case
attracted considerable interest in court by
reason of the recent charges brought by
he elder sister of Lulu against her guar
dian.
81 should like to know" remarked the
Judge, "before proceeding further, Just
what is the exact relation ship between
these parties here. Is there any one in
court who is familiar with this, and who
will step Oh the wltness-stand and en-
tighten me little?
Mr.. Burnett lDtimated that Alma Josse-
lyn was in court, and a pale, nervous
looking girl took the stand. She said she
was Is years old, attaining her majority
on January 81. 1894, and had resided for
some years at Mrs. Staacke's house on
Bush street. She was born at Santa
Cruz.
How many brothers and sisters have
you?"
Two brothers and two sisters. There's
" alter. he's 10 years old. and lives with
my mother and sister Lulu at Grub Gulcb,
Fresno County"
The Judge was heard to say that the
name of this place would have to be
changed. but he supposed it was a rlace
where they mined for grub stakes" Hav-
ing shot off this little pleasantly, the Judge
beamed affectionately upon the young
girl.
Miss Josselyn said that although the
petition stated that Luiu's father was
dead it was not true. He was living and
was down South. She and her sister al
ways regarded Mrs. Staacke as their
grandmother, their father beng the
adopted son of Mrs. Staacke.
At this point it was resolved to continue
the further hearing Of the matter, in order
that all the parties concerned might be
present. The case was continued one
week.

ana no fairer object lesson in favor OF the
Chinese mode of subsistence could be fur
nished than the men of the Somali.
Yes, the Somali's sailors and officers fed
on rice, growing fat by the diet. Rice in
various STYLES was served three times day
until 1t became rather monot0nous as a
relish, but IL certainly kept body and soul
together.
The American ship Kennebec was
sighted on the 23d inst. 800 miles north Of
this harbor. and answering 10 the signals
displayed by the Somal the former bore
down close enough to allow Captain Han
ney to send boat off TO her.
A good supply of, provisions was OBJ
tanned from the Kennebec, which put an
abrupt and unexpected end 70 the rice

lighted salts of the Somali, then both
vessels stood away for their destination.
The Somali was not sighted before y

her anchor off the Pacific Mail dock.
When the Somali left England she was

First Officer Morgan at Singapore.
Mr.. Morgan was in command of the
vessel when she was dlsmasted In the
eastern seas and towed to Hong-Kong by
the British steamer Carmartheushire.
Captain Hanney joined the ship at
Hong-Kong ana left that port with her on
November on the voyage which has at
tracted so much attention.
Popular maritime opinion is more than
ever bent on condemning large ships as
successful sea craft, and much was said
yesterday among seafaring men TO the
detriment of the Somali. This much
must be remembered though. that the

Among the eastern college teams the
rivalry is SO intense. and the desire to
win 80 strong, that players often forget
themselves and injure an opponent
without thinking. One of the benefi-
cial results OF football training is self
control.
A young man who can go into . foot
ball game and keep control of his tenn
per with an opponent continually nag
ging him and keep the signals clearly in
mind while thousands of madly excited
college friends are yelling at once, will.
in nine caees out of ten, be the ready
one in cases of femergency in after life.
The principal reason that eastern col.
leges are able to play better games is
that young men entering from prepara-
tory schools are thoroughly drilled on
the general ponts of the game and at
once begin team work on either the
frat or second elevens.
In California, the material. while
sometimes promising, is generally very
crude and so great part OF one ser aon
is spent in learning the general p..nts
of the game.
Football in California is gradually
growing up to the standard of eastern
football. The game has to improve by
slow stages. For an example the COL
leges OF the northwest five years ago
would not have stood ghost of q show
with Harvard. Yale or Pennsylvania.
This year the University of Michigan
defeated Cornell and Cornell was beaten
by the University of Pennsylvania by
the narrow margin of 60.

pitted against the University of Michi-
gan and Cornell university.

Francisco during the holidays between

football in Southern California better
