KANE WAS IN THE WAY,
Story Explaining Why a Cours.
ing Match Did Not
Come Off.
One Humane Society Seems 10 Have
Stalled an Exhibition INTENDED
for Another.

There are two stories concerning the
failure to give sample coursing exhibi-
tion at the Presidio athletic grounds last
Sunday for the enlightenment of the d-
rectors of the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals. One story, which
was given out last Sunday and which was
generally accepted as true, was that no
hares could be procured for the day. The
other story is OF a very different sort. The
exhibition was arranged to come off, and
the directors were there all right; but
there were others.
Frank j. Kane, secretary of the Pacific
Society for the Suppression of Vice
(this society also embracing within its
work the prevention of cruelty to ami.
mails and the prevention of cruelty to chill
dren) heard in advance of the exhibition.
He had no doubt as to whether the re-
suits of coursing-the tearing of the
hares-was cruelty. He determined to
put stop to the exhibition, and so went
to the Presidio with the intention of
camping on the athletic grounds all day.
He arrived there about 3 A. M. and re-
mained there until about 3 p NJ. Then he
concluded that the exhibition was off,
and went away. When the events of the
day have since been mentioned Mr.. Kare
udS dCIeu Us III ne were amused.
The parties interested in coursing were
not particularly pleased to see Mr.. Kane,
for his intentions had in some way be.
come either known or were guessed at
shrewdly. 1t will be recollected that
c. b. Holbrook. secretary of the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO Animals,
on previous occasion disapproved of the
coursing of dogs after live hares. Then
pressure was brought to bear upon the di-
rectors OF the society TO witness one exhi-
bition, that they might make up their
minds from personal observation. Sey-
eral directors consented to go. The exhi-
bition did not come off.
Mr.. Kane says that he did not know
until late in the afternoon that the di-
rector, were at the Presidio. He had not
seen them and did not see them until,
late in the afternoon, the weather having
become threatening, he started to 90
away. So the directors did not see any
coursing match after live hares. The d.
rectors may or may not have been sur
prised, but at any rate the mystery was
explained.

HARRY EMERIC
AND THE GOVERNOR
The Fish Commissioner
Resigned Because He
Was Angry.
Budd Was Slow in Appointing
Alexander Vogelsang
to Office.
WHY MORRISON WAS ABSENT
The New Board Will Be Composed
of Emeric, Vogelsang and Nor.
rison of Sacramento.
WHY MORRISON WAS ABSENT

Harry Emeric. who is one of the three
Fish Commissioners of this State, is very
near friend of the Governor.
| Mr.. Emeric, it is said, used his influence
and expended several thousand dollars IN
making fight for James Ii. Budd when
he was in the field two years ago against
M. NJ. Estee. the defeated candidate. The
Governor thoroughly appreciated the good
work accomplished by Mr.. Emeric in his
beh alf. and unhe sitatingly appointed him
to the position he sought, which was that
of Fish Commissioner.
Mr.. Emeric is passionately fond of
angling; in fact, he takes more enjoyment
in fishing than in any other pastime, and
it cannot be gainsaid that since his APP
pointmenr he has proved valuable ad-
junct to the Fish Commission.
William G. Murdoch was Emeric's right
bower, and when Mr. Morrison of Sacra-
mento was appointed by Governor Budd
to succeed II. L. Macneil of Los Angeles
Emeric put on his warpaint. and. so the
story goes, he informed his friend the
Governor that Morrison was stranger to
matters that pertalned to fish, etc.
The Governor informed his friend
Emeric that the sportsmen of the State
were desirous that some person conversant
with the game interests should figure on
the comm ssion, hence the appointment
of Mr.. Morrison.
The latter gentleman attended some of
the meetings OF the commission in this
city, but ne says he discovered that all fish
and no game was the order of business,
and that his suggestions in reference TO
the importation and protection of game
birds and animals received cool recep-
tion from his confreres, so he grew dis
gusted, and for several months subse-
quent TO the first and second meetings of
the commissioners, which he attended, he
has remained aloof from the regular ses-
sions. In fact according to a copy of the
biennial report of the commission, Mr..
Morrison's name is omitted.
Owing to some unexplained cause Mr..
Murd och handed in his resignation to the
Governor some months ago. Mr.. Emeric
suggested the name of Alexander Vogel-
sang. The Governor seemingly was
little tardy in appointing Mr.. Vogelsang
TO the position left vacant by the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Murdoch, and as result Mr..
Emeric, who evidently did not approve of
the Governors slow methods, forwarded
his resignation as q representative of the
State Fish and Game Commission.
Now that the Governor has appointed Mr..
Vogelsang a fish commissioner, it is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Emeric will reconsider his
determination to resign from the commits
sion, and that the new board will be COM
posed of Emeric, Vogelsang and Morrison.

WITHOUT TENDERS,
Suit Against the Market-Street Rail.
way Account of Boys
Death.

Attorneys Henley & Costello, on behalf
of their client, Mrs. Ella Green. will to-day
file suit against the Market.street Rail-
way Company for $4,000 damages on ac.
count of the killing of her minor son.
Eddie Galvey, by Mission-street electric
car on the Goth of last month.
An important principal point involved
is the question of the liability incurred bv
the company for exceeding the lawful
speed in running Cars, and for neglecting
to furnish cars with proper guards or fem
ders as they are required TO do by statute
passed by the Supervisors of this Citv and
County, and approved June 26, 1885,
The plaintiff sets forth the requirements
OF the ordinance, to the effect that the
guards for dummies or cable-cars must be
so constructed as to prevent the killing of
persons who may be accidentally struck
thereby, so lar as the same is practicable
and that the design Ior such fender shonI6
be submitted to the Board OF Supervisors
Tor approval or rejection.
The complaint alleges that no such pre-
vention was taken by the company. and
ihat In consequence of such neglect. The
BOY was killed. Ii is also alleged that the
car was going ten or fifteen miles an hour.
which Is much in excess of the lawfui
speed OF eight miles an hour.

Charles Peterson, the sailor who bru-
tally beat his stepson, Frank Augsberger,
Sunday night with ropes end and was
arrested Wednesday for cruelty to chill
dren and battery, failed to appear when
his case was called in Judge Joachimsen' s
court yesterday morning. He had been
released on $500 bonds, Attorneys Frey
and Becsey being his sureties, and the
Judge declared the bonds forfeited and
sons arrest.
Shortly afterward Peterson appe ared
in court with his wife. Both were
drunk. Peterson was Immediately ar
rested and taken to the City Prison, and
The Judge, who had seen the boys condi-
tion, increased his bonds to $1,000 on each
charge.
Mrs. Peterson was also arrested on the
charge of drunkenness. She presented a
repulsiye sight. Both her eyes were black
and swollen and her face was covered
with contusions from her husband s
blows.
Policeman T. J. Coleman, who had
charge OF the boy. took him again to the
Receiving Hospital, where DIR. We'll

that the boy may lose the sight of his eye

rectory.
The Pacific Coast Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Children will see to

for his brutality.

Our force has been going right along doing
regular survey work, getting our bearings

making trianguiations and studying the
contour of the coast. We have also been

we have been out at sea during almost
the whole of the. present season, away
from towns and stations and where we
saw no one. 1t would have been very
lonely, but fortunately we were working

house last evening with an aching head
and nervous system very much un-
strung. In fact, the popular little actress
was very much inclined to go home to bed
and let ''The Minute Men of 1774-75'' worry
along without her, and 1t was all because
few hours before she did not notice that
a box containing phenacetine and another
OF the same size containing strychnine lay
in dangerous proximity on the wash
stand in her room when she sought dose
OF medicine for an attack of neuralgia.
About II o'clock Wednesday night Miss
Bateman returned to her room at the
Langham, corner of Ellis and Mason
streets, from the theater and soon after
retired. Being unable to sleep from neu-
raigic pains in her head. she arose from
her Ded and turning up the light she
started to measure out about ten grains of
phenacetlne, the quantity she was IN the
habit OF taking. This she dropped in her
mouth, Immediately washing the powder
down with little water.
:, instantly the intensely bitter taste OF
the powder toiC her she hau taken the
wrong dose. Then she rendered that
some strychnine in an old phenacetine
box had been placed on the stationary
washstand Tor the purpose of destroying
the tiny water worms.
Ihe dreadful knowledge that she had
taken enough poison to kill several per-
sons not accustomed to that diet and the
nauseatlng flavor of the strychnine made
her deathly sick. and the vomiting that
ensued saved her life.
"A physician was called, who imme-
dlateiy took the proper measures 10 re-
move all the poison from her stomach,
and when she was pronounced out of all
DANCER she was in an extreme state OF
nervous prostration.
When Miss Batemen was interviewe ed
yesterday afternoon at the Langham by a
GALL reporter, she confessed to feeling
somewhat "shaky," but much reioiced al
her narrow escape.

The Rio took away very few passengers

| The schooner Berwick, now on the way
| to San Francisco, had peculiar expert
ence in Coquille River. In passing out
| Captain Strahan ran her on a sand spit.
and when the tide went out she was hard
and fast. She settled and it was finally
decided that the easiest way out of the
| trouble would be to haul the schooner
over the spit into the river. This was
done and the Berwick sailed again for San
| Francisco little the worse for her mfshap.
| The Harbor Commissioners met yester-
day and instructed Superintendent of Re-
pairs Patterson to inspect the water front,

to put fence around it and also q light
on the fence at night. After doing SO he
