The American Champions Led
Until They Neared the
Finish Line.
WORLDS RECORD LOWERED
Bubear and Barry 0utlaSted Their
MISUNDERSTANDING Fast
Race.

AUSTIN, TEX, Nov. 6.-The weather
was fine to-day and large attendance
saw the regatta races. The great event of
the day was the final heat of three miles
with turn, double scuIl, for the worlds
championship and a purse of $1,000 be-
tween England's cham pions, Bubear and
Barry. and Americas flyers, Teemer and
Rogers. Both crews were in the pink of
condition, and the course, with gentle
south breeze blowing over it, was all the
sportsmen could desire.
The start was made in excellent style,
Teemer and Rogers taking water slightly
ahead. Bubear and Barry followed, and a
few sweeping strokes sent them ahead OF
the Americans, and as they passed the
first quarter stake a full boats length of
daylight was between them. The Ameri-
cans were pulling straight up the course,
sticking to their oars at thirty-eight clip.
AT the three-quarter stake the English
were only half boats length ahead.
Bubear and Barry were evidently not
alarmed and pulled away with beautiful
stroke. The Americans continued to gain
on them, and both crews rounded the
mile and half flag together.
Down the homestretch they were neck
and-neck. At the three-quarter stake the
English had forged ahead about half a
boats length. The Americans again
spurted, and as they neared the last quar-
ter flag the boats were about even, and
kept that way until within an eighth of a
mile of the home line. At this point Bu-
bear and Barry spurted, and, with a fifty
five stroke, crossed the finishing line at
least a couple of boats lengths ahead. The
official time was 17:40, which breaks the
worlds record of Is :02.
The second event was single scull trial
heat, three miles, with three turns, four
times over the course, between J. Gaudaur,
Hanlan, Peterson, Rogers and Teemer
Peterson led off, with Rogers second. 1t
was steadily pulled and pleasing race,
with several changes in the relative po-
sitions of boats until the last stretch was
reached. In the last turn of the stake
Gandaur led, Rogers second, Peterson
third. Teemer had dropped out and on
the home dash Hanlan pulled out, leav-
ing Gaudaur, Rogers and Peterson to
finish, and they crossed the line in the
order named. Time, 1914.

THE BIG BLYTHE BLOCK
General w. H. H. Hart Indicates

to Mayor Sutro yesterday by General w.
H. III. Hart.
General Hart appeared before the Mayor
as representing Florence Blythe Hinckley.
He stated that Mrs. Hinckley proposed
putting up fifteen-story building on the
Blythe block and was. therefore, interested
in the ordinance. which not only limits the
height of buildings to 100 feet but specifies
and stipulates of what they shall be built,
scarcely any of the materials mentioned
being products of California, while the
State, or at least the Pacific Coast, affords

1t requires that the yellow pine of Colo.

JACK BR4DY'S TRIAL,
He Is Not the Hero IN Court He Assumed
on, the Road,

or He hOdU.
MARYSVILLE, CAL, Nov. 6.-Consid-
ering the prominent part train-robber and
outlaw Jack Brady took in making crimi-
nal history several months ago, it might
be expected that the court scene in his
career would be replete with dramatic in
cidents and surprises Not so, however.
Brady at large, with half of the officers
of the northern part of the State on his
trail, and Brady in the tolls, where imagi-
nation plays but little part, are two en-
tirely different personages.
Brady has none of the criminal in his
appearance. He is quiet, pleasing, I'M
assuming and as innocent looking as
almost any country boy who rides into
Marysville on Saturday afternoon to do
little shopping for the old folks. 1t has
taken three days to secure jury, but the
panel was completed this afternoon and
the trial will commence tomorrow in
earnest. Several trainmen who were wit
nesses to the hold-up near Wheatland on
the night of March 30 last are already here,
prepared to give their testimony.
Among them is the fireman who was
shot during the melee which resulted in
the death Of the big robber Browning, and
the killing of Sheriff J. ]. Bogard.
The fireman has recovered from the
wounds ne received that nlgnt, tnough ne
still complains of peculiar sensation in
his leg where one Of the flying bullets
struck him. 1t is said the prosecution will
produce witnesses who will testify that
Brady lived at the Mechanics House in
this city for two days preceding the train
robbery.
1t is also asserted that the landlady in
Sacramento who was depended upon to
swear that Brady was an inmate of her
home at the hour of the train robbery, has
notified the defense that she cannot tell
any such story.
The names of the jurymen who have
been sworn to try the case are: T. ].

Judge Hanford Orders Them Not to
Interfere With the Running
of Trains.
TRAINMEN STILL CONFIDENT.
Members of the A. R. U. Declare They
Will Win the Fight With the
Company.

SPOKANE, WASH, Nov. 6.-The strike
situation on the Great Northern has taken
a new turn tonight. Word has just
reached here that United States Judge
Hanford. sitting at Walla Walla, ha is
sued an injunction against the strikers,
restraining them from interfering in any
manner with the property of the company
or the running of trains.
This was expected several days ago when
Judge Hanford was here, but for some
reasons the attorneys of the railroad
thought best not to secure the order then.
This places the matter in different light,
and would indicate that the railroad peo-
pie feared the strike. The A. r. U. men
say that things are coming their way and
that they will win the fight. They claim
that they are unable to get any Geographic
communication with the leaders in the
East; that although they have sent a num-
Der of messages none of them have been
delivered, and that the Western Union is
standing IN with the railroad. This, of
course, the Western Union as well as rail
road people deny most strenuously. They
say that all messages will be delivered the
same as of any private person.
No more men went out at the Hillyard
shops to-day, but all the bridge carpenters
are still out 1t was reported this morn
ing that twenty men went down to fill the
places but came back, refusing to go tt
work. The railroad people still insist that
there is no strike except as it exists in the
minds of the few who have quit work here,
and that over the entire system trains are
running on time.
The passenger from the East is reported
in on time tonight, and freights have only
been a little off the regular schedule. The
a. r. Z. people still continue to hold
nightly sessions, and have appointed a
strike committee. They are i'll session to-
night at Hillyard, but the result of the
meeting has not yet reached the city.

CORRAL HOLLOW IN LINE,
Progress of Construction of That
Important Railroad at
Stockton.
Valley Road Officials Delay Their
Visit-Rev. Ray Palmer
Resigned.

STOCKTON, Cal. Nov. 6.-The Corral
Hollow Company will evidently be forced
to institute condemnation proceedings
against Architect kohlberg of San Fran
cisco for right-of-way across his property
located in this city at the corner of Hazel
ton avenue and San Joaquin street.
Anticipating some sudden coup by the
railroad company, the owner to-day put a
force OF men to work building fence
around the lot and by night it was in
closed.
Tie other departments of the railroad
work are in lively operation. Ties have
been strung out all the way to French
Camp and track-laying will soon be COM
menced outside of the city.
The west trestle bridge across Mormon
Channel is finished.

Delivered His own Message.

One of Utica's very successful young
physicians the other day received tele-
gram from Marcy, asking him to visit that
hamlet at his earliest convenience. The
doctor had several urgent cases to attend
to in the city before he started, and as he
did not know the exact location of the
house he was asked to visit in Marcy, he
sent message saying he would be at the
corners at a certn1n hour in the afternoon
and that some one be there to meet him.
His message was prepaid. He kept the ap-
pointment promptly but found no one to
meet him. After making some inquiries
he started for the residence to which he
had been sYmmones. When he passed
the little teR to which his telegram had
been sent Tx young LADY who operates the
key there ran out and hailed him:
Are you going in the direction of
Mr.. IS farm?" she asked.
Yes" replied the physician. II am
going directly to the farm"
well, replied the young lady, there
message that came for him this after
noon and which have had no chance to
deliver"
So the doctor became his own message
bearer.-Utica Courier.

GOLD STORIES DENIED.

A Letter From the Yukon Tdttey Says the
Health Is Not There.
SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 6.-Some OF the
fabulous stories of gold discovery and
wealth in the Yukon Valley are set at
naught by letter written by Daniel Dono-
van from Forty-mile Post to Joseph P.
Carroll. Port Gamble, this State. saying:
eve are "a degrees west. Yukon Basin
is not by any means the country it is rep
resented to be on the outside, ana the
large fortunes made here in a few years
that they tell us about are all exaggera-
lions. The most money ever taken out
here by any one man was $4,000. Many a
man has put in from three to six years
here, working hard all the time, and to-
day is in debt to the Alaska Trading Com
pany for provisions. Flour costs $40 per
100 pounds, bacon IS cents per pound,
beans so cents per pound coffee 81, sugar 55
cents and other edjbles in proportion"

BENEFITS .0NTHOUGHT.
Conferred on Mankind by the Use of
the Bicycle.

the Bicycle.
What is food for one man is poison for
another. and the bicycle craze is bringing
despair to the heart of the laundryman.
With the popularity of bicycle suits and
outing costumes the white shirt and the
starched collar and cuffs have fallen into
disfavor. Summer is usually the harvest
time for the laundryman, but this year his
trade is much less than usual, and is
hardly up to the winter standard. And he
puts all the blame on the blcyclist, who
wears his knickerbockers and his negligee
shirt all day and all the evening, and,
though the weather is scorching, refuses to
melt starched collars anu ruin shirt bosoms
which have been Numbered with care.
The difference caused by the bicycle is
felt strongly by the laundries which have
to depend largely on the boarding house"
trade for their work. Nine-tenths of the
patrons of these laundries are young men
employed in downtown offices. Last year
and before that they appeared at their
work with linen OF immaculate whiteness
and as stiff as the laundryman's starch
could make it. In the sweltering summer
days it cost money to preserve this appear
ance, for it required two collars, pair of
cuffs and a shirt each day. AS a conse-
quence the weeks laundry bill on these
articles alone amounted to at least 81 so.
Thousands who live in boarding-houses the
laundries prospered.
This year it is different. The young man
no longer wears starched linen. He goes
to his work arrayed in anegligee shirt, and
in the evening he does not change his cos
tune unless for some special event. In
stead he keeps it on and enjoys a run
through the bouIeyards and parks. As a
consequence mis- laundry bill is less by half
than formerly, and the laundryman is the
one who loses for his expenses are as great
as tn ough trace was good.
Eyes" said one laundryman, "this bicy-
Gle fad is costing us a good deal of money.
We don't have near so many starcned
pieces to launder, and the increase in other
lines is not sufficient to make up the loss.
Our bills aren't reduced as much as 80 per
cent, but there is a big change. Some of
them may have been cut in two, put not all
of them. 1t is the bicycle that has done
it, there is no doubt of that. The negligee
costumes that are SO much worn now have
largely done away with starehed goods. -

Council.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Nov. 6.-The
Indians of the reservation held council a
few days ago to take action on the dis
puted boundary and road Immigrant ques-
lions. That these questions are not settled
is interfering considerably with the work
of allotment in severalty, as the road
grant takes up nearly 100000 acres of land
within the limits of the reservation, TO
which the Indians think they should have
title.
The indefinite description of the bound
airy lines in the treaty is also a prolific
source Of dispute. Captain /. d. Applegate
