AERIAL BALLET IN COURT
Judge McKenna to Have It's
Mystic Intr cacies Ex-
PLANE d To- Morrow.
A Working Model of the Machinery
May Be Produced to Better Ex.
pain Its Workings.

Judge McKenna of the United States
Federal court will be familiarized to-mor-
row with the intricacies OF the marvellous
aerial ballet, which has recently beco me
popular in this City, and there is prospect
of gathering of notable theatrical people
in the gloomy old Federal building.
The ballet gets into the jurisdiction of
Uncle Sans representatives. in the case OF
G. E. Nilsson against G. B. Jefferson Klaw
& Erlanger, Al Hayman & Co. and A.
Bowler. Nilsson claims to be the in
ventor and patentee of the fairy spectacle
and the delicate machinery that controls
it, and he feels aggrieved at the defendants
in the action that he has brought because
they have used the fruits of his inventive
genius without consulting him or paying
royalty.
The ballet Is being handled by Nilsson
at the Orpheum, where it has drawn
crowded houses, and the management of
the Baldwin recently placed a similar at
traction at that place OF amusement.
Nillson claims that the contrivances
used by the defendants are an infringe
ment on his rights and that he has been
damaged to the extent of $4,000 Tor this
and other uses to which the appliances
have been put. An Injunction and treble
damages are asked.
The movements OF the eight young girls
who compose Wilson's ballet at the Or
pbeum are all controlled by the inventor,
who sits in e saddle-like arrangement
at the back of the scenes. and by system
of wires, levers and brakes carries them
through the air as though they foated by
superhuman means.
1t is not improbable that a working
model of the machinery will be set up in
Judge McKenna's courtroom. To give that
jurist better understanding of its
mechanism than he could obtain by hear
ing the testimony of witnesses and the ar
guments of attorneys.
J. J. Scriviner and George Perry repre-
sent Nillson and J. ]. Rauer, who has
taken up the plaintiffs case and is fur
nisning portion of the sinews of war
with which to push the case to a conclu-
sion. The hearing of the case is expected
to last several days

tary Schaefer notifying him that the
Olympic Gun Club was still in existence
at the rooms of the Olympic Club, on
Post street, and that it had never been
dissolved by the board of directors of the
Olympic Club that the withdrawal of
certain members had no effect on the pur-
pose of the organization, and it will
shortly have new officers to serve on the
board of governors OF the California Imam
innate Target Association, vice II. H.
White, NJ. G. Allen and II. G. Golcher
resigned.
II is thought that any action taken by
the meeting called by Allen will be illegal,
and that the only man who can properly
call a meeting under the circumstances is
J. y. Cadman of the Reliance Club, who
is first vice-president of the association.
h. j. Croker was seen in regard to the
matter last evening, and he expressed
himself as of the opinion that the affair
would be settled without any friction or
bad feeling.
The seeding mem bers will either form
an entirely new club by regular resigna-
ton from the Olympic, which, Mr.. Crocker
says, he is perfectly willing they should
do, or else they will return to tie fold as
an annex to the Olympic. They have sur
rendered tie trophies to the Olympic
Club, and Mr.. Golcher was inclined to
think their action had been hasty.
The team championship trophy won at
San Jose on technicality by the Olympic
Gun Club was formally handed over to the
Los Angeles City Gun Club team on last
Saturday evening at meeting held by the

FE-CRACKERS
COMMENCE WORK
A Job in a Furniture
Store on Mission
Street.
Valuable Jeweiry, a Gold Coin
and Other Articles
Stolen.
The Detectives Who Are Working
on the Case Think They Have
Clew.

The first safe-cracking lob" that has
been reported to the police for the past
two years is now being investigated by
Detectives Bee, Harper and Reynolds.
II occurred in the furniture and uphol-
stery store of Charles Escande, 2543 Mis-
sion street, near Twenty-eco nd and two
valuable diamond rings, diamond scarf
pin, a golddollar piece and other property
were stolen.
The job was done sometime between
last Tuesday and last Saturday. Escande
finds IL only necessary 10 open the safe
when he wants to get his bank book, and
even this necessity did not arise between
those days. Saturday friend called at
the store and showed him a dollar gold
piece, and asked to see one he had in his
safe to com pare their dates.
When Escande opened the safe he saw
at once that it had been tempered with.
A steel drawer in which he kept his bank
book, money and jewe.ry had been forced
open evidently with cold chisel, and the
iewelry and other articles stolen. Fortu-
nately. except the gold dollar, there was
no money in the uiawer.
The drawer was kept locked, but the
hinges and screws had been forced off
with the cold chisel, and after the con-
tents had been stolen it was put back in
its place.
What puzzled EScande was that the
outer door of the safe had not been
tempered with, and this led him to sus-
pect that the safe-cracker had known the
com bination.
He notified police headquarters of the
job and Detectives Bee, Harper and
Reynolds were detailed to investigate.
They ascertalned from Escande tat
young man who had been employed in
the store had left for Mexico Tuesday
Ian OF re foid o,,Aa %hot
morning that he was TO quit work at once,
as he had received good offer to go to
Mexico.
This young man knew the com bination,
and had opportunities of doing the job
while in charge of the store during Es-
candies absence. There is nothing against
him beyond his hurried departure osten-
sibly Tor Mexico, and he may not have
done the job.
The safe is in the front part of the store
in full view of the west window. The job
could not have been done during the day or
during business hours at night, as people
passing on the street could see the safe.
When the store is closed, shutters are
placed on the windows, SO that in was
easy to do the job then.
The police suspect that there are safe
crackers in the City, and this accounts for
storekeepers being notified by Chief Crow
ley to keep a light burning at night close
to their safes and have them in such posi-
ton that the policemen on the beat can
see them either through the windows or
glass doors.

A NEW BALL GAME.

An Eastern Sport That Will Soon Be
Introduced in This City.
A new outdoor game which has attained
great popularity in the East is to be in
troduced here shortly, and will be played
for the first time at the Velodrome
grounds. 1t is called pushball, and is not
unlike football in some respects, except
that the ball itself instead of being the
size of the usual pigskin is round and over
six ieet in diameter. The play is always
fast and sometimes very exciting, es-
pecially when couple of players are
thrown under the ball. The ball when in
hated weighs 120 pounds, yet it can be
moved with very slight pressure, In fact
a good wind will send it rolling across a
field at lively rate.
The game is played by two teams of
eight men each, the main purpose of
the game being, as in football, to advan ce
the ball into the opponents territory and
finally across the goal line, this being done
by the concentrated shoulder-pushing OF
the players. The game is played on areg-
ulation football field, but only forty yards
of the 'gridiron's' length is used. The
ball is placed on the center line and the
players rroup themselves on either side
of 1t. The center plays directly behind
the ball, with guard and tackle on each
side of him. Two forwards play off
side" to brush the opposing players away
from the bail, and the captain or fullback
stands at the same distance behind his
men, directing the play by code Of sig
nails. The pushing is done with tue
shoulders entirely, and owing to the rapid
ity of the game the periods of play are
usually not more than two minutes in
length. When time is called the side hav-
ing advanced the bail into the other S ter
ritory scores one or more points.
One point is scored if tive-yard advance
has been made, two points if a ten-yard
advance, and so on, until finally, il
twenty-yard advance has been made, thus
carving the bail across the goal line, it
counts five points.
The Reliance, Acme, Olympic. Peerless,
Columbia, Manhattan and San Francisco
athletic clubs will make up teams to try
the game as soon as the ball, which is now
on the way from the East, arrives here,
and some exhibition games will be played
to show the public what it is like.

FOX WANTS TO BE HEARD.
Petition Filed to Advance the Suit
Against the Hale & Norcross
Compauy

company.
A petition was filed yesterday by coun-
sci for M. W. Fox in the Supreme Court,
to advance the case of NJ. w. Fox against
the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Com
pany ct al. for hearing, to be placed on
the bank calendar for argument at the
January session of the court In this City.
Attention was called to the fact that ap-
plication was made to have the cause put
on the calendar for argument at the last
November session of the court held in
Sacramento, and the following statement
was made:
$50 it appears that six years have al
ready been consumed in this litigation.
In the meantime assessments upon the
stock of the company have been levied
and collected to an aggregate of over
$500 900 or more than S. per share"
This statement was embodied in the
application for hearing in November.
In the present application it was added:
''Since the filing of said application an
other assessment has been levied upon
the capital stock of the Hale & Norcross
Silver Mining Company, amounting TO
$28, 600, and it is reasonable to suppose,
judging the future by the past, that these
assessments will continue to be levied,
would be better for those holding the
stock OF this company 10 abandon all
further efforts to collect from the de-
fend ants the money declared by the
lower court to be due stock
holders, because of the wrongs done
them by the defendants, than to be COM

RETURNED THE TROPHY
A Sportsmens' Organization That
Has Fitted Up New
Quarters.
Several of the Members Resigned
From the olympic Because They
Were Dissatisfied.

The secession movement of certain dis
satisfied members of the Olympic Gun
Club and the confusion arising from the
irregular method in which the withdrawal
was accomplished, is likely soon to be set

formed a new club, but kept the old name
and claimed the trophies and bylaws of

Allen. H. H. White and ID. 9. Golcher,
who were the board of the original club.
Mr.. Allen was the president of the Gan,

the secession: whe her he still is president
of that association or whether his action
on becoming a mem Der of new Olympic

the board of governors of the association.
The call was signed by George P. Schaefer
of this City as secretary-treasurer.
