CYCLERS ON THE ROAD.
Royal, San Francisco and
Verein Eintracht Clubs
Races.
Olympic Cyclers and Runners Have
a Picnic Near San Le-
andre.

Yesterday was an ideal day for cycling,
away from the City; but out in Golden
Gate Park the cold, heavy fog put dam
per on the sport. Most of the local clubs
had runs called to points in the country,
and to them the day was particularly en-
ioyable, as the air was cool and the roads
good in all directions.
There were three five-mile road races
held by City clubs from San Leandro to
Haywards in the afternoon.
The firstto start were the riders of the
Royal Cycling Club. There were nine
entrants, with handicaps ranging from
nothing to 1 min. 80 sec. q. Frost, wit h
80 seconds handicap, won the race, and
also made best time-13:56H The order
in which the others finished was: A. Pos
ner, |. Silverstein, j. Frank, II. Sternberg,
Mr.. Friedman, J.. Cooper and f. Schone.
The Verein Eintracht Cycling Club held
their race next. E. Petersen won with
handicap of l minute. The fastest time
in this race was made by Henry Eben-
ritter. who rode from scratch in 1929.
The San Franeieco Road Club also held
race, in which there were twenty-four
entrants. Charles Goodwin, with thirty
seconds handicap, won first place, but ow-
ing to some miscalculation at the finish
the accurate time was not taken. The
course was only in fair condition, however,
and record breaking was not expected.
Following was the full result:

SANTA ROSA SCHOOL WAR
Officials Refuse to Pay the
Teachers for Their Ser
vices.
Mandamus Proceedings VIII Be
Brought to Make Them Show
Cause.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. GA sem
sation in public school affairs in this place
is imminent. The Superintendent of
Schools and the County Auditor and
Treasurer have refused to honor the war;
rants OF certain teachers.
The teachers will go into court asking
that writ of mandate issue requiring that
these officials appear and show cause for
their action.
Albert G. Burnett, one of the teachers,
resigned at the last meeting of the School
Board on account of the storm that has
been gathering for several months.
The trouble has arisen over the arbitrary
action of certain teachers in teaching such
studies as Superintendent Davis consid-
cred lmpracticable and not provided for in
the statutes.
Among those studies were vertical hand
writing, vivisection and foreign languages.
There has been considerable complaint
that pupils were being fitted for clerical
positions only and that the practical and
necessary branches were neglected.
The details of their offending will be
brought out when the mandamus proceed
ings come before the court for hearing.
The officials claim to have good cause for
their refusal to honor the teachers
warrants.
Whether these reasons will meet the
legal requisite is to be seen. Sensational
revelations are promised when the case
comes up.

door Services.

PASADENA, CAL, Sept. 29.-In con-
nection with the Methodist Episcopal

ing with temperance mass-meeting,
special services were held throughout
the day at the Methodist Episcopal church
and Tabernacle and were attended by
crowds of people.
g. conference love feast was held at the
tabernacle at 9 A. NJ, conducted by Rev.
Henry Cox and an eloquent sermon preach
ed at II A. NJ. by Bishop Warren, which was
listened to by over 5000 people, the taber-

The mercury stood in the COS all day
until shutdown, when cool breeze sprang
up. There was no ordination of deacons,
no applications being made,
But one elder, J. NJ. Hilbish of Tropico,
was ordained. Bishop Warren took his text
from St. John iii :16. "For God so Loved
the World"

trinal teaching, with the love of God as
exemplifed in the gift of his son, the
acceptance of Christ as a means to
salvation, and the duty of man in forming
his life upon the model of Christ The
discourse was delivered by anecdote and
characterized by earnestness and intensity.

number of 200, marched the streets, hymn
books in hand, singing hymns, and con-

JEALOUS WOMAN'S FREAK
Mrs. Lottie Hiatt Now in
Jail at Albany,
Oregon.
Finding Of a Hat, False MustaChe
and SpectaCles to Be Used
as Evidence.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 29.-Mrs. Emma
Hannah is now in jail at Albany charged
with the shooting of Mrs. Lottie Hiatt, at
Jordan Thursday night. Mrs. Hannah de-
MES committing the crime.
One theory is that Mrs. Hannah was
goaded to the shooting by Mrs. Hiatt s
attention to her husband, but facts as
given out by the officers are that on Thurs
day evening Mrs. Hannah dressed in
mans clothing, wearing glasses and a
false mustache, appeared at the home OF
Mrs. Holman, Mrs. HATS mother, re-
presenting herself to be bookagent
Mrs Holman and Mrs. Hiatt refused to
subscribe for book, whereupon the agent
whipped out revolver and demanded the
treasures of the house.
The women resisted and the supposed
book agent fired her revolver, the ball
lodging in the ceiling. The two women
seized sticks of wood and beat back their
assailant into the yard, where the mother
was struck on the head with the revolver,
leaving her insensible.
The daughter started to flee ana was
shot in the back of the head. Two shots
took effect. 1t is further alleged that the
purpose of the assault was robbery, as Mrs.
Hannah knew Mrs. Holman had collected
$500 on a note that afternoon.
Bruises on the face of the murderess, re-
ceived during the encounter, are strong
evidence against her. Her hat which was
knocked off, together with false mus
tache and spectacleS, was recognized as be-
longing to Mrs. Hannah's son. Mrs.
HATS wounds are fatal.

VIII Furnish a Valuable Feeder for
the San Francisco and San
Joaquin.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 29.-The grade
on the Stockton and Lodi terminal rail-
road will be completed tomorrow evening,
and the projectors announce that they will
begin track-laying in a short time.
The length of the road from this CITY to
Lodi is only sixteen miles, but the line
will, when completed be very important
one, as it opens fine local and San Fran
cisco market to the fruit and vegetable
growers along the line.
The trains will be made to connect with
the river steamers, and with the cheap
freights in their favor the producers can
place their products on the San Francisco
markets at a very low price and reserve a
neat profit for themselves.
1t will also be valuable feeder to the
Valley Railroad IN the way of light freights.
The company has acquired terminal facili-
ties on Stockton Channel and expects to
deliver freight and passengers to steamers
at the company's own wharves.

Probably the best road performance yes
terday was that of T. A. Griffiths ana
George T. Andrews of the Bay City Wheel
men. They started from here at $50 A. NJ.
on tandem and arrived in San Jose, fifty
one miles, in hours SO minutes. being fol-
lowed all the distance by T. S. Hall on
single wheel. After hasty breakfast they
remounted and, in the face of strong head
wind rode back on the other side of the
bay, forty-two miles, in 2 hours 80 minutes
This is a feat which will hardly be excelled
for some time TO come, and evidences Won
derful endurance on the part of these
riders.
The Olympic Cyclers had most en-
joyable ride yesterday to the farm of Gill
bert Tompkins, near San Leandro. Forty
five of the faithful assembled at the club
for the start, and and as they rode down
Post street, with handsome Captain Butz
and Lieutenants Cooney and Conway in
command, they attracted considerable at
tention.
Arriving at the farm about IL o'clock
they were met by Captain Gill, Secretary
of cross-country runners of the club. Be-
fore lunch few games were INDUCED in.
Fred Butz won the 75-yard footrace, Gill
second, Hoffman, third. Time, 81. The
220-yard run was easy for Coffin, who
made it in "a sec. Gill, Patterson, Thomp-
son, Moulder and ates finished in the
order named.
Coffin also won a half-mile footrace in
2:10 4-5, the order of the others being
Thompson, Yates, Carter, Mckinley.
Rudolph won the one-mile handicap BIZ
cycle race from scratch in $40 3-5, with
Barney good second and Howard Smith
third. Lewis won a similar race for a half
mile, with O'Kane second. Manager Ken
nedy should have won this race, but his
starter forgot to let go the wheel when he
showed him off, with a consequent mishap
to the jolly Kennedy. He tried it again,
but could not overcome the lead the others
had gained. After the races fine lunch
was enjoyed under the trees. and speeches
and songs served to make the time fly. All
rode home together, and voted it one of
the best runs they had ever attended. The
times in the running and cycling events
would have been better but for the track,
the surface of which was prepared for
horses rather than athletes or wheels.

localities drying has about closed, with the
exception of few late peaches.
Grapes are ripening fast and they are
being received at the wineries in better
condition than for many seasons.
Colonel Hersey of the Fruit Exchange
says there is no demand as yet for prunes
and other dried fruit in the Eastern

vised to hold it till there is consumptive
demand and then the price will be fixed
upon some legitimate basis. Prices offered
at present are upon low, speculative
basis.
great deal of dried fruit is being re-
ceived at the Exchange and other union
warehouses throughout the country. The
Exchange is shipping East many carloads
OF extra fine prunes, aprlcots and peeled
peaches, neatly packed in twenty-pound
boxes There is but little demand for
goods in sacks.
