JAOKsoN's DEFENSE.
Three Witnesses Will Testify on His
Behalf TODAY.


In the trial OF Arthur Jackson, charged
with the murder of August Florentine,
considerable time was taken up yesterday
with discussion betweea attorneys as to
the introduction of certain testimony.
Attorney Carroll Cook, representing the
defense, drew Judge BeIcher's attention
to the fact that none of the witnesses in
troduced by the prosecution were in the
room at the time of the shooting of Flor
entine. He said there was plenty of tes-
timony from persons who were in the
rooms back of the saloon when the tragedy
occurred, but that none of the witnesses
who saw the killing had been called by the
State to tell what they knew of the occur
renee.
Deputy District Attorney Hosmer de-
clined TO call the persons suggested by
Mr.. Cook to the witness stand.
Mr.. Cook stated that three men, namely
Cornelius Hurley. Charles Leyden and
William Troy were In the room when tn g
pistol shot was fired, and saw all that took
place; that at the preliminary examina-
ton these men testified that jackson
acted IN self-defense. He thought the
prosecution ought to bring forward all the
testimony possible that is material to the
case, whether favorable or unfavorable to
the defendant.
Mr.. Hosmer said he was willing to have
the case go to the jury without calling the
witnesses named by Mr.. Cook, so they will
be introduced by the defense at this morn
ing's session of court.

increased Activity In Rowing Cir
Giles After the Regatta.
The Thanksgiving day regatta has cre-
ated greater interest IN rowing than has
been displayed for many months.
The clubs are gaming in members, and
there is every prospect of marked re-
vival in aquatics.
The Dolphins intend to have crew en-
tered in the junior and senior barge races
at the next regatta. Captain Will Patch
will take the following men out for a
practice spin tomorrow. They are AL
Rouard, Tom Kennedy and E. P. Sulli-
van, and they will be under the watchful
eye of coach Adam Schuppert.
Keenan, is out three times week in his
boat and is keeping himself IN condition
for the next regatta.
The Dolphins' committee on nomina-
ton will meet tonight to choose officers
for next year. The club will give ladies'
day social on January 10 that will surpass
anything ever attempted by them in that
line.
1t is rumored that Len Haussler has
challenged McCausland to mile and a

The First Division of the Naval Reserve
are dissatisfied with the outcome of the
Thanksgiving day race, and have chal-
lenged the victors to another race, which
will take place in the near future.
One OF the morning papers accused Mr..
Yale, the gentleman appointed to referee
the races at the regatta, with being at the
football game when he should have been
at his post 1t is an unjust charge, as
Mr.. Yale was in the country until o. clock
that afternoon.
A great many hard things have been
said as to Chairman Penn broke's course in
the last regatta. He has been charged
with getting up the regatta for self-inter-
ests, and that the prizes awarded were
purchased by him. 1t is an improper
charge, as the medals were made by Mr..
Rothkopf. Mr.. Pembroke expended a
great deal of labor in trying to make the
regatta success. and in doing so neglect
ed his own business to his own loss. His
work was labor of love, as he had the in
terests of rowing at heart, and not for a
pecuniarY gain.

land and A. w. Wehe OF the San
Francisco Road Club, but a careful
canvass of the delegates made yester-
day gives Swain majority of ten votes
long association with the sport has made
him scores of friends, particularly as such
services as he has rendered in different
official capacities have been rendered with
peculiar cleverness and discretion. As a
member of the last road-racing committee
he managed the big twenty mile road race
in July, and it passed off without a
hitch. This was the more remarkable be-
cause there had never been similar event
held here before, and he had no precedent
to go by. Mr.. Swain promises, if elected,
to appoint San Francisco man as chair
man of the road-racing committee, and
that has brought him lots of votes from
this side.
Mr.. Wehe has been connected with the
sport for a considerable time, but is not
well known outside OF his own club whose
support has been remarkably strong dur
ing his canvass. Many think he should
not have aspired higher than the first
vice presidency this year, particularly
against, and even now he may be induced
to accept that nomination instead. In
case of his election the road-racing chair
manship would probably go to w. |. Pix
ley of the Road Club. The election will
be well contested, however, and to-night's
meeting full of incidents.
Warm but loose-titting clothing is abso-
lutely necessary to comfort in cold
weather riding. Most wheelmen and
wheelwomen find 1t difficult matter to
keep the hands and feet warm in the face
of cold wind. Bicycle gauntlets may be
all right in their way, but pair of heavy
wooden gloves which will reach well up
the wrists seems better. A silk or cotton
stocking under the regular golf hose, 18th
piece of paper fitted between the two
stockings, is guaranteed to keep out the
cold in the most bitter weather. A sheet
of newspaper fitted between the under
shirt and sweater or outing shirt will also
protect the chest com pletely.

Joseph Dornato, teamster, gave an ex-
hibition of brutality yesterday afternoon
at Turk and Taylor streets. A large
crowd gathered in a few minutes and
Donate came within an ace of being

il cool corner of the City Prison, the
picture of meekness; but then he was a
prisoner, charged with cruelty to animals,
and had neither horse nor whip to satisfy
his passion.
The incident of Dornato's cruelty and
the gathering OF the mob was related by
Officer McMurrie of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals.
II was III my office, which Is near where
the fellow was arrested" he said. Sud
denly several people burst into the room.
They were greatly excited anu asked me
to 60 with them to the corner of Turk and
Taylor streets and arrest a m an for cruelty.
By the time l go. there the crowd was
getting ready to mob Dornato. He had q
horse and a heavy load of olive oil, which
the horse was barely able to haul, and be
raised weits on the animals back, each
one as thick as mans finger. So I took
him in custody"
