day Morning.
WAS LEFT IN A VACANT LOT

By the merest chance a newly born
baby boy, abandoned by its inhuman
parents, was saved from death by suffo-
cation yesterday morning.
About O. clock Frank Swift, boy Iiv.
ing at I'LL Jessie street, was walking across
what is known as Potter's lot on Twelfth
street, between Mission and Market.
In the southwest corner of the lot. near
the Twelfth-street fence, the boys atten-
ton was Attracted by an old yellow hand
satchel. He lifted the satchel up and
shook it, then he whacked the bottom of
it with his open hand and was astonished
to hear muff1ed cry.
The boy hastily opened the satchel and
gazed in astonishment upon q baby boy
He left the satchel and ran down the
street shouting "a baby found' The
news quickly spread and Policeman Con-
molly heard of it and hurried to the vacant
lot, where a crowd of boys had gathered to
look at the baby.
Connolly carried his precious burden to
the Receiving Hospital, and Matron Kane
at once took possession of the infant. 1t
had been wrapped in an old newspaper
and towel and forced into the satchel,
which was shown by large bruise on its
right hip and another brulse on one of It's
heels. Its feet were also slightly FROST
bitten.
DR.. Dell thought the baby could not
have been born more than an hour or two
before it was found by the boy, Swift. 1t
was well developed, with light downy hair
and large blue eyes. DR.. We'll was salts
fed from its appearance that neither a
physician nor nurse had been present at
its birth, and not moment had been lost
in 10 h. 81
evidently intended to be its coffin.
The abandoned babe was sent in the
am bulance to Mount st. Joseph's Orphan
Asylum. The chances are that it will
live, although for some time it was
thought that it could not recover owing
to the exposure to the cold weather and
want of air while shut up in the valise.
The police were notified, and Detective
Byram was detailed on the case with the
object OF finding the inhuman parents.
He has absolutely no clew to work upon
The satchei is common one such as
any one might use for carrying clothing,
and the towel is an ordinary one. There
is mark, however, upon it such as are
made by Chinese laundrymen. AS there
are hundreds of them in the City the
chance OF finding the one who made the
mark is very remote, but if he could be
| found it might lead to the identity of the
| parents of the child.
| Captain Lees received information last
night that may lead TO the discovery of
| the mother, and he detailed Detectives
| Gibson and Wren to investigate.

Lane: think Katz had thoroughly laid out
his plan Of desertion long before March
~. he is said to have inherited consider.
able property from his father and to have
transferred it 10 one of his brothers more
than month before he disappeared. Be-
sides, he sold out his interest in the shop
prior to his departure.
The man wasn't crazy in our judg
ment, said Franklin K, Lane yesterday.
'1hat crying was either stage business or
weakness growing out OF the knowledge
that the next day he was going to forsaSe
his wife. He didn't get up and turn on
the gas himself, which shows quite clearly
that he didn't want to kill himself. He
simply asked her to do this.
For month, perhaps longer, Katz had
prepared to run away. He was properous
ana hearty, but from his mother he had
large expectations. and she did not ap-
prove OF his marriage. The poor girl has
peen left in rather a bad position. She does
not want divorce because she can't be con-
Vlnced that the man meant TO abandon
her.
"She has no money, though her hus-
band, wherever he is, must have plenty.
w hat refinement of cruelty it was to de-
sert her on the very day they had planned
TO celebrate the ending of the first year OF
their married life! He had always pro-
vided we'll for her, they spent every even
ing together, and she had no reason
throughout the year to believe that he
did not care for her to the exclusion of all
other women. Even when he was deciding
all his property and selling out his bust
ness SO that he might leave her in absolute
want he appeared affectionate and consid-
crate. 1t certainly is cruel and brutal
way to treat girl of %.

afternoon, a visit was made to the home OF

TROUBLE OVER THE RELAY
The Bay City Wheelmen, Who
Finished First, Are Dis.
qualified.
THEY REJECT THE DECISION.
The Packet Was Exchanged Too Soon
at the Sixth StatioI-Garden
Citys Win.
THEY REJECT THE DECISION.

The road-racing committee of the Cali
fornia Associated Cycling Clubs sent word
TO the Bay City Whee elmen last night that
its relay team had been disqualified and
requested the return of tn trophy, which
will be awarded TO the Garden City CycIers,
that club having finished second in Sum
days race.
The disqualification is for an alleged vi
olation of the racing rules, which provides
that the relay packet must he ex-
changed at the finish of each relay
within distance of 200 yards indicated
by two red flags. A protest was entered
with l. Percy Mills, referee at the end of
the sixth relay, claiming that the Bay City
man, Raynaud, handed the packet to
Vincent, who rode the seventh, before
reaching the first flag. The referee, who,
by the way, is member of the Garden
City Club, allowed the protest, ana as his
dec lsion is final, the road-racing commit
tee had no choice but to disuualify the
Bay City Club.
Seve raj of the judges at this station say
that the exchange was perfectly proper
Raynaud, who rode the sixth, said last
night that the first red flag was high up
on water tank ana he had trouble seeing
1t. Just as he passed this tank he ha nded
the packet to Vincent. who confirms this
statement
F. II. Kerrigan, president, and Sanford
Plummer, captain OF the Bay City Wheel
men, were seen by a CALL reporter last
night, and both said that the CLUB would
refuse to give up the relay cup until they
had had hearing, which would probably
be at the next meeting of the associated
clubs in June. They seemed to care very
little about the cup itself, but felt that
snap judgment was being taken on them
and would refuse to submit without first
being heard. They claim the race on its
merits and don't propose to be '.jockeyed"
out of it.
Chairman Stratton OF the racing board
said that he had received the referees re-
port OF the occurrence, which was in form,
and the Bay City Club was disqualified in
consequence. If it refused to give up the
cup he did not know what might be done.
He had no feelings in the matter and
would only be guided by the rules.
The trouble promises to bring about con-
siderable feeling between the Bay City and
Garden City clubs, and also between the
Bay City and Acme Club of Oakland, as it
was an Acme man who filed the protest.
The end is not yet, and it is probable the
Olympics will be involved. The associa-
ton will suffer by this internecine strife,
Tor the harmony among the big cycling
clubs has been cons iderably disturbed by
the recent relay race.
