NOTES FOR WHEELMEN,
Frank NJ. Byrne viii Ride From Port.
land to This City.

Frank M. Byrne, the Imperial Club
racer who broke the worlds five-mile road
record Sunday, will leave for Portland this
morning. From Portland he will ride to
this city with two of his club mates, w. c..
Howe and G. w. Conger, who are making
the trip here from British Columbia by
wheel.
Allan n. Jones and Walter F. Foster of
the Rambler team with their trainer, r. P.
Awkward, went to Santa Barbara Sunday
night and will race there and at other
southern cities during the rest of this
month.
There is no foundation for the rumor
that Studebaker Bros. will commence
building high grade wheels, which can be
retailed at $50. They have no intention of
going into the bicycle business at present.
The Bay City Wheelmen will have a
club run to Centerville next Sunday AL
ready entries are coming in for the clubs
race meeting at Central Park on the Both
inst and it promises to be very successful
Ralph M. Thompson, the wheelman who
was so badly injured yesterday at Santa
Cruz while coasting, was very well known
here. He was Chief Consul OF the League
OF American Wheelmen in 1890 and was
president of the Bay City Wheelmen for
two terms. 1t is hoped he will speedily
recover.

HE CANNOT GET HIS MAIL,
j. L. Franklin Unable to Get
His Letters From the
POStOffiCe.
One Of the Postal Departments
Methods for Crushing Out
Lotteries.

julius L. Franklin, of Little Louisiana
Lottery notoriety, is in hot water with the
postal authorities.
Under the rulings and orders of the de-
partment at Washington no mail of any
kind can be delivered to a person who is
known to be lottery-dealer.
The letters are sent back to the senders
by the people in the Dead-letter Depart
ment. Franklin has other business inter
ests besides the lottery scheme, and con-
sequently has numerous correspondents.
Acting under instructions, Postmaster
McCoppin directed that none of Franklin s
letters be delivered either by carrier or at
the main Postoffice.
Franklin complained yesterday to As
sistant Postmaster R. E. Doyle that he
cannot get his mail. He said that the nom
delivery of letters is causing him great loss
and much annoyance and anxiety. In one
instance he failed to receive a notice of a
meeting of a real estate corporation,
of which he was member, and his
stock was not represented in the
election of the board of directors. In an
other case notice from bank relating to
important matters failed to reach him.
AS to his Eastern correspondence he is
totally at sea and plunged in deep anxiety.
He asked for the privilege of Inspecting
letters to him in the presence of Mr.. Doyle,
so the latter would see that they contained
no matter pertaining to lotteries. Mr..
Doyle answered that he had no discretion
in the matter.
The Government is determined to break
up lotteries, and it has its own methods of
effecting this end. He would not go out
side of his orders, and Franklin went away
greatly disheartened, and as its stands he
is practically isolated from the world so far
as his correspondence is concerned. He
cannot get even letters on private matters,
or from his family, as Wells, Fargo & Co.
have taken action similar to that of the
postal authorities. Franklin feels angry
and intimates that others with more in
huence or "pull" than he are able to
sell lottery tickets in this CITY without
being disturbed SO far as their letters are
concerned.

THE LBDETTE FILLY.
The Case Against Fred Warner Dismissed on
Technical Grounds.

The Case Against Fred Warner Dismissed on
Technical Grounds.
A large number of sporting men gath
cred in Judge Lows court yesterday morn
ing to hear his decision in the case of Fred
Warner, the stableman charged with at
tempting to administer poison to the
Ledette FLY at the racetrack on March 25
last.
The case was argued at considerable
length on the previous Monday night by
Attorney Lennon for the defendant and
Attorney Ach for the prosecution. The
defendants attorney, without going par
tlcularly into the evidence, contended that
under the law of this State Warner could
not be convicted of the crime charged in
the complaint. He had been simply guilty
of soliciting another to administer poison
10 the ANIMAL which under the law was
not a crime. He quoted numerous prece-
dents in support of his contention. There
must be the actual attempt before it could
be considered a crime.
Judge Low delivered long Judgment in
which he agreed with the defendants at
torney. 1t was the law of the State, and
there was no help for it. He expressed his
regret that he could not hold the defendant,
as it was unquestionably his intention that
poison should be administered to the fly
as was shown by his purchase of the poison
and a syringe and handing the articles to
the stable-boy, CUBA" The Judge also
said he was sorry he had been unable to
find the person who instigated the de-
PENDANT to administer the poison, as he was
the real culprit. In the circumstances he
would have to dismiss the case.

MRS. WORTHINGTON WEPT
As She Listened to the Outline of He
Own Defense.

Own Defense.
Mrs. Louise A. Worthington, on trial in
Judge Belcher's court for her life, had
much to contend with yesterday. There
was decision that appeared very inimical
to her interests, followed by its neutraliza-
ton, and then came recital of the Oft
told story of the Baddeley shooting, hay-
ing special reference to the line to be taken
by the defense.
AS the counsel emphasized the fact that
it would be shown that Mrs. Worthington
was always of weak, confiding nature
and was temporarily insane at the time of
the commission of the deed of which she
is accused, the hapless defendant broke
down in wild, hysterical weeping. in which
her sister, who has been her constant at
tendant in court, joined sympathetically.
Previously Judge Belcher had handed
down an exhaustive and mastery decision
admitting the vital deposition of Annie
Kelly, now deceased Later Attorney
Haskell for the defendant succeeded in
shutting out certain letters which he de-
clared were part of the deposition. The
court held that they had not been suffi-
GENTLY identified as parts OF the deposit
ton. Upon their exclusion Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Peixotto withdrew the en-
tire deposition. not wishing to prejudice

WOULD NOT PUT UP.
Corbett and Jackson WfU Not Meet Be-
fore the London National

fore the London National.
LONDON, Eng, May 13.-A crowded
meeting of the National Sporting Club was
held tonight, at which the secretary read
the dispatch addressed by Manager Brady
to the club expressing Champion Corbett's
willingness to meet Jackson before the
club.
Jackson was present dressed in the latest
style. He made speech begging the club
to put up a purse and let him have a
chance to meet Corbett. His proposition.
however. met with no response. Owing.
it is said, to Corbett's sneering allusion to
the National Sporting Club it has decided
to decline to put up pnrse.
Peter Jackson said tonight to reporter
of the Associated Press: II do not think
Corbett is in earnest this time. He knows
he is unpopular with the National Sporting
Club and had small show with them to
hang up purse. Then it is very near the
close of the season, and their books are
full for the next season. / feel and I told
the club, as though my last chance of
meeting Corbett is gone. He knows that
we cannot fight in America since the ac-
ton of the Louisiana Legislature. There
is no other club that will hang up purse.
| will meet Corbett anywhere and have
always been anxious to do so. You will
remember that my challenge has always
been open to him. But | do not think
Brady is really in earnest about this pro-
posal. He must surely have known how
unpopular Corbett is with the National
Sporting Club. l have done all that is in
my power and | am now ready to leave
England. 1 shall sail for America soon

CUT ON GAS RATES,
Charges Soon to Be Lowered
Twenty-Five Cents per
Thousand.
the Gas Company VIII
Follow.

A reduction in the price of gas to patrons
of the San Francisco Gas Light Company
was announced yesterday. ]. B. Crockett,
the president of the company, when inter
viewed on the subject, said: 'On and after
July next my company is going to reduce
the price of gas from 81 to 81 IS to all its
patrons, and also intends to make material
reduction in the price of gas for gas en-
gines and manufacturing purposes"
When asked the cause of this sudden
reduction he replied:
This is brought about by the fact that
since we completed our magnificent new
works at North Beach station we find we
can manufacture gas cheaper than before,
and is also due to the fact that the prices
OF material have gone down considerably
within the last year. The San Francisco
Gas Light Company has always shown its
regard for its customers by reducing the
price whenever it has been able to do
SO. Last year when the Supervisors
advocated reducing the price to 81 IS
stated then that the gas company would
voluntarily reduce the price whenever the
time should come that it could be done in
justice to the stockholders. That time has
now arrived and the promise will be made
good. This cut in the rates means large
reduction in the receipts of the company,
which it will be enabled to meet by new
improvements in the manufacture of gas
and the present low prices of materials"
