HAD LITTLE TO SPARE,
Gallant and Ferris Hartman
Took Their Races in Ex-
citing Drives.
THREE FAvoR1TEs WON PURSES
Kowalsky Was Backed by Every body
and Captured the Mile Event
Easily.

The crowd at Ingleside track yesterday
witnessed some excellent sport, and as
three of the five fayorites drew down
the long end OF the purse, the majority OF
players started for town at the conclusion
of the racing III an enjoyable frame OF
mind, prepared to purchase Christmas
presents with the bookmakers' wealth.
There were two very close and exciting
finishes. Barney Schreiber's Youngster
barely beat Lizzie II out the shortest OF
heads in the third event, and Gallant was
almost nipped out on the wire by Collins
in the race preceding.
The Spreckels entry, Captain Skedance,
was made an to choice for the opening
six-furlong dash, but the track, which was
heavy and cuppy, evidently did not suit
the Captain, for he ran unpiaced. Schnitz,
at to in the betting, made all the run
ming, and Won by four long lengths from
Ike l., 20 to / shot.
The red, white and blue coIors of the
new jockey clubs president were seen 10
better advantage III the next event, over
seven furlongs. The bookmakers marked
up 21% to 1 against each Gallant and High
land in the opening betting, but Gallant
did not find favor, and receded to 81 to 1,
the Schneider entry going to the post
favorite.
Chartreuse and George Miller both COM
manded strong support in the betting.
Gallant proved the winner, but by the mar

with him after three-quarters of the dis

End of the Guessing Contest at Ra-
phaers Clothing Emporium.
The guessing contest at Rafael's great
clothing establishment on Kearny street
was decided last night by committee OF
three from the morning dailies.
The guess was as TO a mum Der of 24-ounce
tacks in paper from the factory, and the
prizes were $50 for the first closest guesser,
S25 for the second and coaster to each of
twenty-four guessers on either side of the
exact number OF tacks in the paper.
The paper was found to contain 31S and
the nearest guess was 317. This number
was on four of the ballots. The first prize
was awarded to George A. Dolan of 317
Kearny street, whose vote was registered
at P. NJ. on the 10th of December and the
second to Willie Coey of 1920 Golden Gate
avenue, who voted at 8 P. NJ, December IA.
AS the other prizes were of equal value
the time was not taken, but their names
were marked by the judges and were left
with the preprietors of the establishment,
who will notify the fortunate ones.
The guesses were as varied as on pre-
vious occasions, running from 0 to 2120,-

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 24.-When the
examination Of Felix Castro, on the
charge of robbing the Van Suggs place,
near Alnaden, was called in Justice Gass'
court this morning, Louis O'Neal, his at
torney, arose and stated that Castro was
not the man who robbed the Van Suggs
place, and asked that warrant be issued
for Salvatore Rogosa, prisoner in the
County Jail, and that he be brought into
court. Constable Haley was dispatched
after the man, and when he arrived he
was at once identified by Fred Brown
the man who was bound and gagged dur
ing the robbery, as the garroter.
Rogosa acknowledged to Constable Haley
that he was the man wanted, and aske
that he be examined at once. His e1amina-

Gass held him TO answer before the Supe-

complaint against Castro was dismissed.

Commander J. ]. Brice, U. S. N.
Retired, Explains Strategic
Tactics.
THREE LINES OF DEFENSE
The First Is Offensive Operations, the
Second Natural Bulwarks and the
Third Coast Protection.

Commander ]. J. Brice, U. S. N, re-
tired has contributed some important
information in regard to the scientific de-
tense OF the country in case of warfare.
When seen at the Palace Hotel yester-
day Commander Brice said:
There are recognized in military sci
ence three lines of defense against for
eiqn power.
''The first is offensive operations on the
enemy's coast; the second is the outly ing
natural defense of your own coast; the
third is the defense of your coast line and
harbors.
AS referring to the present controversy
with England we are able at once to operate
on the first line and attack the English
commerce off her own coast. This is
owing to the great energy shown by us in
the last few years in building fast cruisers
and system for converting speedy mer-
chant steamers into cruisers.
THE second line of our National defen Sc
has been Systematically encroached upon
by England for years past with q purpose
not friendly to us. This has not been
done without well-matured policy ex-
tending from years back into the future.
"She may think the time has come to re-
alize the object and develop her policy. The
tenor of the European press is not in
sympathy with us for the best Of reasons.
Jhe Monroe doctrine affects them all.
There may be combinations for which
the English have been preparing to menace
our country for these many years.
Zone feature of this trouble we can safely
rely upon-that some one will have to
back down or there will be fight, and it
will not be the United States to recede
from her position.
"Where will be the seat Of war? 1t will
not be In Venezuela any more than in
Patagonia, but naturally at the weak
POINTS of each nation. The weak point of
England is her commerce, and we are able
to attack that at once. Her next weak
place Is Canada and British Columbia, and
we are prepared to attack them at once.
So with ali of her boosted strength upon
the sea, England would in a measure be
placed upon the defensive at once.
"To operate against US she must have
base of supplies--the most important
factor for both fleet and army by land and
sea.
''Onr weak point would be Newport, R.
l., upon which she could operate with
their fleet from Halifax. The capture OF
Newport would establish base to attack
Boston and New York. 1t is more than
probable, however, our cruisers would
keep the English fleet busy on their own
coast protecting England vitals, and she
would not dare to send heavy fleets to de-
scend upon US. For relative regiments In
the amount to protect and defend the ad-
vantage is with the American feet. The
demoralizing effect Of our cruisers on her
coast would tend to keep her vessels at
home"

at the present sure of, as do not remember
seeing IL. Dr. G. Childs Macdonald's barn is
not in the middle of the street, but in the place
1t belongs. He will not have to remove It.
Commodore Harrison has no stone wall to lose
and Mr.. Schnen has no property on the street
in question, consequently he cannot combine
with other property-owEers to fight the Trus-
tees. All of Mr. Schnelps property is fenced in
properly and he has shown commendable care
in being sure of his lines before erecting q
fence.
There was no report rendered the Trustees by
ME. There was no special and secret meet
ings held. All the meetings were regular.
The Trustees never tried to stop nay work, for
if they had it was in their power to do SO.
There has been no quarre! between the IN
fringers and non-infringers as limited at.
| doubt if there are sixty owners infringing on
the streets. There was no reoutlining of the
streets at all.
The action OF the Trustees is commendable
In the matter. 1t is only in very small part
OF the town that any encroachments exist, and
the majority OF the residents in other portions
are anxious TO have them removed. Many OF
the infringers are ready to move whenever
they can be shown their exact lines. Others
will fight. James w. Speiry is a member OF
the Board OF Trustees, and the survey showed
part Of his property to be on the street from
fifteen to twenty feet in places.
He supposed it was correct at the time OF
purchase, but when he found it wrong he went
to considerable expense to have the lines cor
rectly delineated and filed. q map in the Re-
corder's Office in San Rafael The loss
amounted to him in area to as much as two
good sized lots would contain, so that it is easy
to see he suffers with others and probably to a
greater extent as his purchase was made in
good faith and he paid large price for the
land. Mr.. Sperry is the Trustee who intro
duced the resolution calling upon owners to
move their fences
None OF the property of the other Trustees
encroaches upon the streets.
All the town Is not affected. Only four or
five blocks in the older part are affected, and
the rest of the town, which covers quite an
area, is all right. Few of the fences are more
than two or three feet out of the way, although
those who were more than that are generous
to themselves.

He Must Pay a $4,000 Fine in
Addition TO Serving Out
His Time.
SCORED BY JUDGE HAWLEY
The Accused Mans Friends Charged
With Subornation of Perjury.
Another Citation.

CARSON, New, Dec. 24.-James Heney,
who was convicted of stealing 500, 600
worth of bullion from the United States
Mint in this city, was to-day sentenced to
eight years in the State Prison and to pay
a fine of $4,000. There was no notice of
application for new trial.
When Judge Hawley called the court to
order this morning be told James Heney
to stand up. The convicted man arose and
calmly looking at the Judge, said, GAL
though have been found guilty, I am in
nocent of the crime charged"
The Judge replied: Mr.. Heney, you
have been convicted by jury of twelve
men of larceny of gold bullion from the
United States Mint, where you were a
trusted employee. The abortive attempt
that has been made by number of people
on your side of the case by bribery, false
hood, corruption and fraud has worked, as
such attempts nearly always do, to the
detriment and disaster of the parties en-
ploying them. Notwithstanding your
statement, cannot see how any jury, if
honest men, in the face OF the evidence
against you, could have handed in differ
ent verdict. The limit OF the law in your
case is ten years and $4,000 fine. I sentence
you to eight years at hard labor in the pen
itentiarv and to pay fine of $4,000"
Mrs. Heney aud her mother were in the
courtroom, and broke into sons. After
Heney left the courtroom and was being
taken to Jail, he poured out a torrent of
maledictions upon Coffin, his attorney,
whom he charged with getting him con-
victed.
In the afternoon Barney Brule, the
night Waterman who is alleged to have
taken $500 to Witness Joseph Langeyin to
get him 10 leave the country, was cited
TO appear in court on Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock. The affidavit on which the
proceedings OF the Government were
taken was made by Joseph Langevin.
The crime with which Brule is charged. as
told in the affidavit, is that Barney BruIe
on the morning of November II, induced
Langevin TO avoid the service of subpoena
upon him and to hide himself from the
officers, and to that end paid to Langevin
$4G0 in gold coin.
Were tomorrow not Christmas several
other arrests would be made. These will
follow on Thursday. Heney still keeps q
close mouth, but to-day his wife is re-
ported as having threatened 10 make a
complete expose of the workings of the
gang that looted the Mint. Heney has
already been promised a pardon by parties
who represent to him that they have 4
sufficient pull to secure it. Government
officers say that he will serve every day OF
his sentence, with the exception of such
credits as he might secure by good
behavior

SAUSAL|TO STREET WAR,
Engineer Mccullough Says 1t Is
Really Not a Serious
Matter.
He Explains That the Entertainments
Are Few and Have Not Been
Correctly Stated.

Ernest Mccullough, Town Engineer and
Street Superintendent Of Sausalito, stated
yesterday that THE CALL had been par
TALLY misinformed on the subject of ell
croachments of residence property on
some of the streets of that town. He said :
Some time ago the Town Trustees determined
to have 6 sewerage and drainage survey made
for the purpose of establishing grades and
having sewerage system designed. The sur
vey was ordered, and ] had charge of it. AS
entertainments were known to exist on few
blocks the survey was to complete enough to
determine the amount OF the encroachm ents.
But the work was not completed owing to
lack OF funds. AS the work progressed q detail
or working map was made, merely for the
purpose OF collecting the data obtained on the
survey in convenient form. Il is not fin
ished map, by any means. At the request of
the Trustees, the lines Of the streets were
placed on the map, in order to show the en-
croachments, and when the survey was dis
continued resolution was passed in an open
public meeting-not secret and special-calling
upon all the iniringers to move back to the
proper lines within sixty days and instructing
the Street superintendent to send notices to
the offenders.
These letters have not been sent out, and
VIII not be soon, as it will be some time before
tuc ltCOIus hNelihDle ana the results of the
survey can be so co-ordinated as to admit of
the exact reoutlining of the streets
The CALLS informant as to the matter in
Sundays issue is certainly unfamiliar with the
streets of Sausalito, as residents OF different
streets are by the article all placed on one
street, and the statements as to encroachments
are incorrect. Charles L. Barrett, secretary of
the San Francisco Gas Company, has a dwell
1ng-house in Sausaito, but it Is situated least
thirty feet from the roadway, and his fence is
on the proper line, except at one corner where
there is q slight encroachment that can Ia
remedied by one carpenter in an hour Yet
the article in yesterdays paper states that Mr.
Barrett will have to cut three feet off his house
Mrs. Mason will not lose her tennis court
which the article says she will. The line runs
close to it, but not through 1t. She can move
her fence to the proper lines and never inter-
rupt game during the operation.
DR.. Crumpton will not lose the back fence
as stated. Mr.. Marvin's house is not in the
street. Mr.. Shepard's stone wall is all right,
and he will not have to move it or remove it

HIS RULING WRONG.
Judge Joachimsen Discovers There Is
Difference Between Lottery Tickets
and Burglars Tools

Charles II. Davis, alias Jack Straus, a
wellknown burglar, was arrested few
days ago by Detectives Gibson and Rey-
nolds, and, as pair OF nippers was found
in his room, which he acknowledged be-
longed to him, he was charged with hav-
ing burglars tools in his possession. Davis
had served five terms in Sing Sing and
one in San Quentin for burglary, and the
detectives suspected that he had some.
thing to do with the recent burglaries in
the City.
Davis appeared before Judge Joachim.
sen yesterday morning, and his attorney,
ex-Judge Lawler, moved for dismissal,
basing his motion on recent decision OF
the Supreme Court in connection with
lottery tickets, to the effect that it must be
proved the tickets were in the possession
OF the defendant for the purpose of violat-
ing the law. The Judge considered the
point well taken and dismissed the case.
Chief Crowley and Captain Lees were
notified of the decision, and were con-
siderably exercised thereat. They ordered
that Davis be rearrested and charged with
vagrancy, which was done. Judge Jo-
achimsen was seen, and an effort was
made to show that his decision was
wrong. The Penal Code provided that
''every person having upon him or in his
possession burglars tools, knowing or
having reason to believe that they are in
tended to be used in committing MIS-
demeanor or felony, is guilty of a mis-
demeanor." The wording of the ordi-
nance is: SIT shall be unlawful for any
person to have in his possession burglars
tools unless it is shown that such posses
sion is innocent or for lawful purpose ~
1t was pointed out that Davis had served
six sentences for burglary, that pair OF
nippers was burglars tool, and, there.
fore, he could not have had it in his pos
session for lawful purpose.
Judge Joachimsen was staggered by
these reasons, and he went to the Supreme
Court and consulted Justice Harrison, who
advised him that he was laboring under a
misconception as to the purport of the
decision Of the Supreme Court IN the lot
terry case. and that there could be no pos
sible connection between lottery ticket
and burglars tool.
He acknowledged to the police that he
had dismissed the case under a misconcep-
ton, and another charge of having bur-
glars tools in his possession was regis
tered against Davis. Davis attorney now
SAYS he will plead once in Jeopardy.
