Thousands of ladies are expected to

day of the two weeks meeting and the man.

this evening. After staying there for a

The popular owner and trainer, Mat
Storm, came very near springing a sur
prise In the opening race. Bohemian Lass,
flliy, by Flambeau, in Mars string, was
allowed to run loose at odds of $50 to 1,
and startled the crowd by leading until
sixteenth from the wire, where she tired,
but finished good third. Show odds of

operating in open defiance of the law,
under the old guise of doing q commission
business. Odds are laid in some instances
redlcuiously higher than laid at the track,
with an object no doubt of keeping players
downtown. Results are also given at the
conclusion of each race
On may s George Miller won a race at
Ingleside, starting at odds of to 5, while
in one downtown room to 1 was posted
against him. This shows conelusively
that the gamblers are at their old game,
and as it is an open violation of the decis-
ion handed down by Judge Wallace there
is no excuse for them being allowed to re-
main open. The police have never put
forth very strenuous efforts to effectually
close these dens.
Captain James II. Rees, who has Off
ciated in the judges stand as presiding
Judge since the opening of the inaugural
meeting at Ingleside track, will leave for
Cincinnati tonight, where ne will hu the

On his arrival in California last Noyem-
ber, Captain Rees was an entire stranger
to the major portion of the local race-g going
public, but through his courteous and
kind treatment of all, coupled with rulings
that were as impartial as they were Just,
his friends are now legion, and the genial
Southern turfman can rest assured that he
occupies warm place in the hearts of all
admirers of clean and honest sport in this
State, and hearty welcome will await
him on his return to California next fall,

A REST FOR MISS AS HLEY
She Broke Down on the Stand
Yesterday, so Court
Adjourned.
Scope of the Testimony as Taken Yes.
terday Behind the Closed
Doors.

For all yesterday morning Judge Slack 8
courtroom doors were inhospitably closed
to intruders; but it was only for The morn
ing, for at noon the case closed for the
day.
Miss Ashley was still upon the stand
when the court adjourned, but her direct
testimony is nearly all in, and her cross
examination will start to-day. She tool
up the thread of her evidence where she
laid it down yesterday-where she told
how she started back home with her child.
Previous to its birth, she said, she had
hunt ed for Baldwin all over, trying to get
him to care for her and give her assist
ance. She finally met him in st. Louis
at the racetrack there-and he gave her
$40, but that sum was all he ever gave her.
He left st. Louis soon after her arrival,
and she still hunted for him but finally
she gave up her search and came back TO
Los Angeles. There her child was born.
The witness was again questioned as to
her relations with Baldwin, and as to the
time and circumstances under which she
told her brother of what had taken place
between herself and Baldwin. Her letters
and kilograms were read to her-the ones
she wrote and sent to Baldwin before she
started for California, while she was on the
way here and after she got into trouble.
Her early life was gone into, and all about
her habits and her character was drSwn
out by Crittenden's questions.
Toward the close of the morning session
the witness broke down completely; the
brutal frankness OF the questions which
had to be asked overcame her, and she
sobbed violently on the stand while the
counsel waited 20 proceed. When the
court adjourned at noon it was decided
not to continue during the afternoon out
of Difference 20 the unstrung nerves of the
witness, and recess until this morning
was taken.
Counsel for the defendant make few OBJ
iections. They protest now and then that
question is leading or irrelevant, but
they allow the same line of questions as
were put on the examinations for deposi-
tions to be put before the court.

ONE PARK FOR ANOTHER.
The Mission Improvement Union
Would Sell Buena Vista
Park.
A Pleasure Place Is Needed in the
Mission-Boulevard of Dolores
Street.

Encouraged by the success of what has
been undertaken by the Mission Improve
ment Club in securing High School and
the turning into grand boulevard the
heretofore neglected Folsom street, the
club will, if it be possible. secure public
park on the site of the abandoned
cemeteries.
To make this an assured success steps
will be taken when the Legislature con-
venes next January to have a bill passed
which will authorize the Supervisors to
sell Buena Vista Park, bounded by Haight,
Henry, Broderick and Lott streets, which
is within a few blocks of the Golden Gate
Park.
The argument advanced by the advo-
Gates of this measure will be that there is
really no necessity for a public park in
that section and that the property should
be sold and the proceeds applied TO the
purchase of the Mission land.
They claim that at the time Buena Vista
Park was laid out on the official map
Golden Gate Park was not dreamed of, but
since that time the condition of things
have changed and now it would be waste
OF public money to place the ground in
proper condition for public resort, and
even after the expenditure of all this
money Buena Vista Park would not be
used or appreciated by the people for
whose benefit it was originally intended.
One OF the strange features connected
with the early grants of land for parks was
that the official eye looked directly west
from the City Front, and the Mission, the
first location inhabited, had been COM
pietely overlooked, and no provisions were
made for parks in this istrict.
Next in importance comes the question
OF making Dolores street boulevard and
to this end petition to the Supervisors
has been widely circulated for signatures
and will be presented at the next meeting

their expectations high by showing the

began to falter and ran unplaced. Peru,

JUST BUSINESS.

Bonds are continuous--perpetual.
The makers don't expect to redeem
them. The holders don't want
them redeemed. For this reason
the greatest care should be exercised
in making all issue. A series may
vary during the lifetime as stipulat-
ed on the face. 1t may be practic-
ally new in its reissue, but bonds
out are standard liability and must
be in the best shape possible. AT
the creation of an issue the cauti-
Gus country will pause to consider
the bond transaction alone in every
feature aside from the need for
funds and the purposes to which
the moneys are to be applied. That
Hawaii can at this time utilize a
large amount of cash to excellent
advantage is not to be questioned
That she cannot afford to make an
error in the borrowing process Is
equally true. The items of interest
and commission are paramount
considerations. They are not to
be fixed hastily on grounds other
than recognized principles govern
ing such matters. 1t would be hne
TO see a big bond issue taken up
here. 1t would be fine to see 1t
held In the States. But all may
rest assured that just as sure as
"business is business" the best
buyers will buy, despite sentiment
or thought of the common view Of
the eternal fitness Of things.

UP TO date the very unexpected
has happened in financial legis-
Iation. Consideration of refundine
has been postponed. There seemed
to be one main objection-that all
or none should be handled instead
of singing out the London loan.
Along with this was complaint OF
lack of data and question of COM
mission and discount figures. The
Minister OF Finance made hard
fight, but without avail. He went
down under the burden Of having
too many propositions to defend or
urge at one time. Refunding may
again be considered before the SEES
sion ends. AS to loan, THE STAR
would predict that the prospects
are for authorizing, with close re-
strictions, the issuance of three
quarters of million of bonds.
