THE FOOTBALL SEASON.
Football talk is rampant at the two
big California universities. Az yet
neither has secured an eastern coach,
but already the captains have the men
in the field prscticing and developing
new material. The annual contest be-
tween the two teams this year promises
to be as close as it has been in the past
three years. Both elevens will start
with many new men. At Stanford it ia
said that veterans such as Walton, Ken
nedy, Whitehouse, Burnett and McMil-
Ian will not don the cardinal this year.
Halfback Frankenheimer's father is also
reported to be against the game and will
not allow his boy TO play.
Ii all those rumors be true it means
an entirely new set OF backs for the Palo
Alto boys. Still. with the aid of q good
coach, new men can be rapidly deyel-
oped into championship form.

GOT A PATIENT ON THE WAY.
Policeman Broke His Arm in Try
ing to JumD on nm AmbuInnce

1t is sad bit of irony that Roundsman
John d. Sullivan, of the Grand Central
Station Squad. and Demetrius Blackos, a
Greek boy. of G69 Third avenue, are in
Flower Hospital, since basket Of
flowers was largely instrumental In land
ing them there
The flow ,rs belonged to Demetrius.
He had large, blooming. odorous basket
of them, and was riding on the front
platform of a Forty-second street car at
Z o'clock this morning.
In crossing Vanderbilt avenue the boy
attempted to alight, but, hampered by
the basket, he fell and the front wheel
passed over and crushed his foot.
A call was sent to the Flower Hospital
and an ambulance responded. Rounds
man sullivan saw the vehicle and ran
into the street to jump behind. In his
effort he. too, fell and the bones of his
right arm were fractured.
The ambulance was stopped to pick up
the policeman, and then rushed on to
where the suffering boy lay among the
wreck of his flowers. Both patients were
token away together.

MAY BE A GAs-STovE TRUST.
Report of Large Purchases of stock

Information has been received from
st Louis, Mo-, to the effect that Emer-
son Mcmillan. President Of the Laclede
Gaslight Company. OF that city. has
obtain ed options on n majority OF the
stock OF the gas and gasoline stove
manufacturing companies all over the
country. as n preliminary step to the
formation of a trust in these two in

At the Offices OF the Central Gas
Stove Company, 40S Pearl street, which
Is the largest OF the gas stove manu-
facturers In the United States. having
branch Offices In Boston, Chicago, In
dianapolis and in Australia. II was
learned that reports had been heard OF
an attempt to form II combination of the
gasoline stove manufacturers. but that
no efforts were being made In the di-
rection of n gas stove trust.
II was said a gasoline stove trust
was practicable principally because gas
oline liz one Of the products of the
Standard OIL Company. and because
the stove business was largely In the
hands Of three or four large concerns.
the principal ones being the 1tingen
quick Meal Company, OF st. Louis;
George NJ. Clark. OF Chicago, and The
Dangler Stove Company, OF Cleveland.
The gas stove manufacturing interests
are more diversified, and the fuel used
Is not the product OF one concern. as
in tn. case OF the gasoline stoves.
Therefore. gas stove manufacturers be-
lieve that a trust Is impracticabe.

.HUNT|MG FOR A MURDERER.
Nicola Presetto Butchers His
Father-in-Law.
The Slayer Flees to a Roof and Dis
appears as if by Magic,

| Although Ward Detectives Smith and
Mooney and ten policemen OF East ono
Hundred and Fourth street station have
been searching all night for Nicolo Pre-
setto. OF 1876 East one Hundred and
| Twelfth street, who stabbed his father
in-law to death last night. no trace OF
the wanderers whereabouts has yet been
discovered.
After he saw that his victim, Charles
A. Brown, was dying from the terrible
stab wounds in the back and abdomen.
Presetto escaped to the roof and evil
IDENTIFY descended to the street through
fneighboring skylght
Detectives Smith and Mooney at once
searched all the houses in the block, but
nowhere could they find a trace Of the
fierce Italian.
Policemen were stationed on tho
streets of the block, and yet the muir
derer had disappeared as completely as
though balloon had carried him away.
From their experience with italian
criminals the detectives are confident
that Presetto is hiding in some italian
quarter of the city.
The ward men went to Mulberry Bend
shortly before midnight, but diligent
search after the murderer during the
remainder of the night proved fruitless.
The hunt is being continued to-day.
The immediate cause of the crime was
a proposed voyage to Germany of Pre-
setto's wife and her father. The trip
was finally decided upon few days
ago, when. through the death of rela-
tive in Germany. Brown came into
$4,000.
Brown and his daughter came to this
country ten years ago. Annie married
baker, and became widow two years
ago. Three months ago Presetto made
violent love to her, and proposed mar
riage. Although Presetto, an Italian,
was distasteful to Brown as son-in-
and the marriage took place March II
at the city Hall.
Previous to her marriage to Presetto
Annie has been living with Romeo sc'pio,
who IL the reputed father of a child
born to her two months after her mar
riage to Presetto. Presetto condoned his
wife's wrong, and consented to live
with her II she put the child In an in
stitution.
1t was learned by the police this morn
ing that the intended secret flight to
Germany of Brown and his daughter
was not the only cause OF the butchery.
Presetto was OF very jealous dispo-
sition. The memory Of his wife's rela-
tions with Scipio ranked In his breast.
Rumors that Scipio had been paying
| aggravated the rage OF the husband.
When he returned from home last
night and saw his wife making prepara-
tions to leave Presetto became a raving
maniac.
1t was then that he seized the knife
and committed the murderous assault.
No trace OF the knife has yet been
found.
