EDITORS BUSTED.
Their Pens Got Them in
Trouble.
Three Young Journalists Bounced by
the Golden State Amateur
Press Association.

The Golden State Amateur Press Asso-
citation had very big fight at its meeting
on Washington street last night. A goodly
number of the juvenile editors, not expect
ing such squab0le, missed the fun.
There was smooth sailing until it came
to the vote on the application of new men,
bers. Three youthful scribes from the
stan OF The Fun had s0nt in their names
TO be voted uron at the meeting. They
were referred to the credential committee.
The chairman (Mr. McClrllan) made an
adverse report, but through the wire
pulling of ID. L. Hollub. who is making a
great battle for the presidency of the
National Amateur Press Association, and
who is very anxious TO see as many dele
gates as possible sent TO the convention in
Cincinnati next July, the report failed of
adoption and Editors ROtEchlld, Carl
Shrek and Herbert Shrek were declared
members of the association by vote of
Z TO 3.
The presence OF Mr.. Holland, however.
was demanded elsewhere and he was COM
PEELED to leave the meeting before ad-
iOurnment.
No sooner were the doors closed behind
the manipulater5 OF the wires than Editor
Mcclellan was upon his feet and with
copy of The Fun in his hands he read pas
sages from the sheet which he claimed
were detrimental to lie interests of anna
teur Journalism.
The passages quoted scored the journ-
alists in terrific manner. But
the young sinners said they were
ready to repent. Mcclellan exclaimed
that they were past redemption, and
therefore moved that the motion which
declared the young mScreant scribblers
members of the august association be re-
considered and that Messrs. Rothchild, G.
Shrek and II. Shrek be expelled bodily.
The motion was a thundercap from a
clear sky. but 1t was adopted after he had
converted in the anteroOm number f
Hollub followers.
Carl Shrek raised a feeble cry against
such star-chamber proceedings, but when
he saw that bis fate was sealed he and his
co-workers withdrew gracefully from the
meeting.
After the storm has passed and the
wrathful scribes had regained their senses
they doubted very much if their hasty
action was not unconstitutional, but they
all agreed, constitution or no constitution,
no son of the newspaper profession could
enter their ranks if he had ever printed
a word against amateur journalism.

Samuel McCurdy's wife and ex-COnyict
Samuel Douglas stood on The deck Of the
steamship Humboldt yesterday morning
and looked silently into space.
Mrs. Samuel MeCurdy was not appar-
emily very happy. nor was Mr.. Douglas.
for the proverbial little bird had whis-
pered something into the latter'S ear that
meant you had better look out"
On Wednesday the HUMBOLDT left Eu-
reka. simultaneously Mr.. Sam McCurdy
Jr. of Arcata missed the woman who had
promised to remain faithful to him through
life.
MIR. McCurdy might have known better
than to have married the young woman
who is now among us as the admirer of
man who has served term in San Quentin.
1t seems that when she was but l6 years
of age-she is now 20-she eloped with
the very same fellow Douglas, got married
at sea on the steamer Pomona.
Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas came to San.Fran-
cisco after this escapade, lived together
awhile, then separated, the lady going
back to her father, John j. Violet OF
Douglas drifted about the State. ard
finally landed in San Quentin on June 2,
1892.
Mrs Douglas secured a divorce in March,
1892, and in 1898 was married to McCnrdy.
Subsequent developments showed that
all the while Douglas was In prison be was
sending letters TO his eX-wife At first she
paid little heed to his communications, but
soon she began to answer them. Then
apparently the old affection for the man
returned TO her, and she made arrange
ments to meet him just as soon as he was
released.
When Douglas got out of Jail be came to
this city. The crime for which he was
convicted, horse-stealing, was committed
il San Joaquin County. so he did not care
to return there. He is supposed to have
written TO Mrs. McCUrdy and proposed an
elopement ana being answered favorably
he then ~ ade his way to Eureka.
Mrs. McCurdy left her home in Arcata
Tuesday night, during her husbands alb
sence. She made her way to Eureka and
there met her eX- husband. who had secured
tickets 90 the Humboldt for San Fran
cisco.
Mr. McCrrdy made an attempt to stop
the couple from leaving the steamer at
this city, bnt his plans failed.
Samuel Douglas was approached by a
reporter alter got of the steamer, but
he said he did not care to discuss the af-
fair. "She was my wife first and | guess
I'll keep her," he said with a grin. He
added that he supposed McCurdy might
make an attempt to get the woman 10 come
back, "but he'll soon get tired of that" be
explained.
Mrs. McCurdy is young. but not partic-
uiarly good looking.
Douglas looks as II he needed work. Ii
he had any money there were no outward

Gaelic and Association Football
Outdoor Athletics Are Dead.

As previously stated in THE CALL Gaelic
football will be one of the athletic features
of amusement this winter which will at
tract the attention of all admirers of the
Irish pastime.
A general convention will be held on
Saturday evening at Irish-Ame rican Hall,

schedule of games is now in the course of
preparation, and Captain Palmer is con-
fident that at least eight clubs will be in
line and wearing the Gaelic colors this
year.
The Chicago Herald of September 80
says: Gaelic athletes will be grieved to
learn of the death of John Leonard, one
of the best athletes who ever competed
under Gaelic rules in this country. While
quite a youth Leonard frequently ran
against /. T. Connect In Ireland. He could

WAS NO ACCIDENT.
The Supreme Court Decides That
Neary Killed His Wife.


The Supreme Court has refused to grant
a new trial in the case of James n. Neary,
convicted of murder in the second degree
for having caused the death of his wife.
Catherine, in Santa Cruz County.
Neary sought new trial on the ground
of the insufficiency of the evidence to sus-
tain the verdict recorded against him.
Briefly reviewed the facts were these: No
one was present when the deed was done.
A few minutes previous the prisoners

water; when she came back she found her
mother on the floor and her father raising
her in his arms. Besides. the prisoners
story was that he and his wife had had

his wife said, Neary replied. That's not
So" and threw butcher-knife which he
held in hishand on to the table; that the
knife rebOunded from the table. and, en-
tering the wOman's body, caused the
wound that eventually proved fatal.
On the other hand, it was shown that the
knife entered the wOman's abdomen, and
made an inci,ion nine inches long, the full
length of the blade. In doing this the
knife had to pass through two inches of
fatty tissue and then the muscles sur
rounding the abdomen. Under the ell
cumstances the Supreme Court decides
that there is nothing in the prisoners case
TO warrant their setting aside the verdict
Of the jury, and so Neary will have to pay
the penalty of his crime.
