cyclists in the world today, is making a

They are at present in Italy where they

ing forward to see him win fresh honors
across the water.
The Capital City Cycling club of Lin
coin are now getting ready for the state
meet, which will be held at M street

this week on the new track which is to
be completed and ready for training in
two weeks.
The C's took their club run as usual
last Sunday, with Bennett as their des-
tination. There was quite an accident
on the way. Joe L. Sullivan while des
cending hill at high rate OF speed lost
control OF his wheel and fell to the
ground on his face. He was unconscious
when picked up and was suffering badly
when conveyed home. Mr.. Sullivan is

hope he was not seriously hurt.

SAN PEDRO ITS Choice,

pany Declares for the
Peoples Harbor.
Coast Officials Instructed TO Exert
Their Influence Against
Santa Monica.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 29-In the
great Santa Monica-San Pedro harbor
fight the position of the Santa Fe railway
system has not been clearly defined here
tofore. 1t was supposed that its manage
ment would favor San Pedro, but this, it
seems, has only been conjecture and has
been denied by persons seemingly in q
position to know. Now, however, all sur
misses have been set at rest, for it is stated
on the authority of persons connected with
the management that the influence of the
Santa Fe Company will from now on be
thrown to San Pedro
This morning instructions were received
at the general offices from Chicago that
any effort TO help the cause OF San Pedro
would be approved. The friends of San
Pedro are jubilant over this new and
strong influence to defeat the Santa Mon
lea harbor steal for the especial benefit of
Huntington. New life seems to be infused
into the fight for San Pedro all along the
line. and change at Washington in favor
OF the real harbor on this coast is antici-
pated.

SANTA ROSA SENSATION,
Mark L. Mcdonald Sued by an
Attorney for Wesley
Mock.
Pay Demanded for Ser rvices in Opposing
the City'S New Water
System.

SANTA ROSA. CAL, April 29.-A mild
sensation was created here this afternoon
when it was learned that Mark L. Nc
Donald had been sued for nearly $1,000 by
one of the attorneys for Wesley Mock in
the celebrated case of Mock VS.. The City
of Santa Rosa.
1t mas long been an open secret here that
the Santa Rosa Water Company, of which
Mark L. Mcdonald is president, was pay
ing the bills in the long and expensive hti-
CATION to prevent the city from accepting
and using the new water system. The
last phase of this bitter legal fight was the
petition of the plaintiff for an interlocu-
tory injunction restraining the city from
accepting the completed water system
from the contractors.
The matter was heard by Judge DANGER
field early in April. He took the case
under advisement, and a decision is
looked for daily. More than week was
spent in the argument, Attorney Lynch
for the plaintiff consuming about four days
in explaining to the court his views.
G. s. Forquar of Petaluma has also been
one of Mr.. VI ock's attorneys in this case
and he AYERS that his services were reas-
onably worth $1,000, of which only $i62 has
been paid, and he having assigned his
claim to George M. Brush, the latter gem
tleman now seeks to recover the balance
due from the president of the Santa Rosa
Water Com pany.

Induced to Talk After He Had
Been Sacrificed by His
Accomplices.
GREATER THEFTs EXPOSED.
He duplicates a Prominent Man Who
Had Not Been Suspect
Heretofore.

CARSON, New, April 29.-It is now
generally understood that James Heney,
the convicted bullion thief has told every
thing he knows about the Mint shortage.
While the Government officials and attor-
neys decline to talk on the subject a CALL
correspondent is able to state positively
that Heney made full confession in the
presence of witnesses and the Govern
ment officials have it in black and white.
inns document contains some very start
ling accusations in connection with the
Mint cases and involves bigger game than
Jones. 1t is doubtful, however, that the
Government will put Heney on the stand,
as Its counsel feels confident of winning
the case without his testimony.
Heney's wife has been instrumental in
inducing her husband to talk. She real
lied that he had been sold out and sac
rlticed in the interest of his accomplices,
and openly threatened to tell everything
she knew if her husband did not talk.
Inspector Mason gave the first hint of
the coming storm by saying to-day that
Jones had confederate in the mint. He
had learned this by conversation with
Heney IN the prison. Woodburn, counsel
for the defense, attempted to draw out
more from this intim ton, but Clark, for
the Government, arose and warned him
that if he called for information he would
get all of it and no more questions were
asked.
1t has developed that six additional
bogus melts were made in the cupel-room,
and it is supposed that Heney gave the
Government the tip how to secure the evi-
dence. Mason had already found the alter
ations in the books, and the new evidence
tends to show that suspect Jones used the
same melts to serve double purpose and
they were worked in twice in the books.
Mason declines to say who the confederate
OF Heney was, but says he has not pre-
viously been even suspected.

PRAYED FOR THE CONSUL
Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker Was
Unable to Attend the
Meeting.
Much Enthusiasm as Well as Regret
and Sympathy Manifested by
the Salvatonists.

Metropolitan Temple rang and echoed
with Salvation Army halleluiahs last
night, and again the large hall was
thronged with earnest soldiers of saliva
ton. This second meeting of welcome to
Consul Emma Booth-Tucker was inspir-
ing, but the object of the inspiration was
absent, suffering on bed of sickness.
Presiding officer Brigadier Keppel said
that since Mrs. Booth-Tucker' appearance
on the platform Tuesday night she had
been in great pain, but hoped to be able to
be present at the auxiliary meeting in the
temple, which takes place this afternoon
at 3 O'Clock.
The meeting was opened by the song,
II have read of men of fate" and
prayer was offered by Mrs. Keppel: 1--WE
pray that thou may lay thy tender, low
ing hand upon our beloved consul to-
night and comfort her and make her
we'll"
AS the clear voice of the one praying
touched the hearts of those listening, a
wave of audible supplication passed across
the hall, out of which rose the Hear, O
Lord" and "amens' OF the sincere suppli-
ants.
rhe hymn Calvary was sung and
Major Malan offered prayer.
Because we are deprived of our CONSUL !"
said Brigadier Keppel, 1--WE must fall back
on her hallelulah escorts, Major Lewis and
Major Malan. Captain Bernard will sing
US q song composed by the consul herself
"a song that will make the devil hum"
And in his pleasant barytone Captain
Bernard sang II Am Climbing Up the
Golden Stairs to Glory"
Major Lewis began her remarks by tell
ing the story of a descent she once made
into coal mine. She graphically pictured
the dangers of entering such places, and
compared the mission of the Salvation
Army to that of the coal-miner who goes
down into the depths that he may bring
forth the shining and valuable mineral.
1--WE go down, not to get inanimate bits of
COAL" said she, "but glorious shining
souls"
She spoke of the great good the army
was doing in all parts of the world, lift
ing up class of mankind that had never
been up before.
At the conclusion of the meeting Major
Malan sang, accompanied by Major Lewis.
He is noted for his interjections while
singing, and bore out his reputation in
the song last night. The entire audience
soon caught the air and joined in the
chorus.
Brigadier Keppel announced that for
the meeting tonight an admittance of 10
cents would have to be asked to pay the
expenses of the hall.
