United States baby, who did not
understand German, was tickled
to hear them talk, and he "snick-
cred' at the peculiar sound of the
language that was being spoken.
The big man put his hand TO the
old lady's cheek and said some
thing encouraging, and tear
came to her eye, and she locke |
as happy as queen. The brown
eyes of the boy opened pretty big
and his face sobcred down from
his laugh, and he SAID:
"Papa, it is the mother"
We knew it was, but how
should a 4-yearold sleepy baby
that couldn't understand German,
tell that the lady was his mother!
We asked him how he knew, and
he SAID;
"Oh, the big man was SO kind
to her"
The big nan busted out; we
gave the little old mother the

The baggage-man grasped the

Two Domestic yetoe. by MIR. Cleveland

While Mrs. Cleveland is a domestic
woman she had at one time an ambition
to play golf, but when the matter was
broached to Mr. Cleveland he firmly but
kindly declined to consider it, both be-
cause he did not like it as recreation
for woman and because also he thought
that it was an undignifed amusement
for the wife Of IA president Of the Unit
cd States. When Mrs Carlisle was first
considering bicycling and before she had
become an adept at it, Mrs. Cleveland
had the idea that possibly she would

The Supreme Court Decides in
Favor of the Super.
viSors
IN THE SUIT OF GOLDSMITH,
Justice Henshaw Finds That Hard.
ship May Be Caused, but the Law
Must Be Observed.

The Associated Creditors of the City and
County of San Francisco, who have uncol-
lected claims against the municipality
amounting to about 5000, 600, will be inter-
ested in decision handed down by the
Supreme Court yesterday. The part which
will most interest them may be the fol-
lowing extract from the opinion, which
was written by Justice Henshaw, the case
being that of Max Goldsmith against the
Board of Supervisors of the City and
County of San Francisco, which has gen.
orally been considered test case:
"The reduction of the original claim to
a judgment does not increase its dignity
so as to authorize plaintiff to dem and pay
ment of it from any fund not subject to
the primary demand"
The history of the case is as follows:
Max Goldsmith brought suit against the
Board of Supervisors to allow and order
paid a Judgment against the City, OBJ
tained by the plaintiff for subsistence and
supplies for the prisoners in the jaIls of
the municipality for the fiscal year 1929
which Goldsmith furnished under con-
tract. There was no question concerning
the fact that the supplies were furnished
by Goldsmith. The demands for payment
for the supplies furnished during the last
three months of the fiscal year 1892 -93
were refused. Goldsmith then secured q
judgment against the City, but the Super
visors refused to order the judgment de-
mand paid. Goldsmith applied for writ
of mandate, and the Supervisors, for an
swer, showed that the general fund for
the fiscal year 1928 was totally ex-
hausted and that the claim of Goldsmith,
turned into judgment, was payable solely
out of this fund.
The paragraph quoted in the foregoing
from Justice Henshaw's opinion, which
was concurred in by Justices Mcfarland
and Temple, bears on this claim of the
Supervisors the court also taking the po-
sition indicated by the following:

from the many which the court has been

JACK AND JIM
FOUGHT 7AMELY
A Boxing Match That Ap-
peared to Be Pre-
arranged.
The Men Talked While in
Clinches and Made Very
Wild Swings.
Finnick Was No Match for Hawkins
and the Bout Was Quickly
Stopped.

A more disgusted crowd than that which
left Woodward's Pavilion last evening
would be hard to find.
The announcement that the two clever
pugilists, Jimmy Carroll and Jack Nc
Auliffe would meet in ten-lound contest
was sufficient to pack the pavilion with an
immense gathering of people who delight
In witnessing a good pugilistic encounter.
but they were sadly disappointed on this
occasion.
The st. Georges Club, under whose aus
pices the tistic entertainment took place,
may be free from censure. but judging
from the way the pugilists acted while
fighting" within the ropes spectators be-
lieye that they had had an understanding,
and whatever arrangement they may have
agreed upon to hoodwnk the public they
carried out TO the strict letter.
The sport-loving public of this City
Will put up with some abuse, but when
those who pay a good price 10 witness a
fistlc contest on merits meet with such q
disappointment as that of last evening
they will do with pugilism as they have
done with baseball, viz: leave it severely
alone to die the death it deserves.
There can be no such thing as gainsay-
ing the fact that the ten-round contest
between McAullffe and carroll was rank
and thoroughly disgusting to all but those
who won money on McAuliffe. With the
exception of wildeyed rally that ensued
in the first round the contest was the
poorest in every respect that has been
witnessed in this City for many years. II
! the st. Georges Club desires to place itself
on a good footing before the athletic
public it should teach hippodromers a
lesson by refusing to give them cent.
The opening contest, which was to be a
ten-round bout between Dai Hawkins and
Harry Finnick, terminated also in dis
NAL failure. Finnick proved to be a dub"

guard his face from any point OF attack.
George Green. who acted as referee, grew
thoroughly disgusted with the manner in
which the contest progressed and received
| the congratulations of all present when he
stopped the contest in the middle of the
| second round, seeing that Finnick was but
a chopping- block for Hawkins.
The general opinion was that Finnick
never whipped any man of note in his
life. He proved to be a very raw recruit
before the clever Hawkins.
At s:45 Harry Finnick and Dal Haw-
kins entered the ring with their respective
seconds. Hawkins was esquired by

Francis A. Cramer, retired merchant,
formerly of the firm of Montealegre & Co., was
conveyed in an ambulance from the Bohemian
Club to his residence, $40 Sutter street, at IL
o'clock last night.
1t was observed about9 o'clock by George T.
Bromley and Others that Mr.. Cramer had been
reclining ON a alounge in the cafe for an un.
usual length of time. 1t was also noticed tina;
he was suffering pain or discomfort, and Mr.
Bromley spoke to him but received no cnswer.
Dr. Swan, who happened to be in the dining
room, was called, and found the aged merchan
unconscious. The heavy brea thing of the
patient indicated apopectic trouble The
physician rendered every service possible, but
was unable to restore the patient to conscious
ness. The Montealegres with whom Mr.
Cramer had loug been associated, were sum-
moned, and took the sick man TO his rooms on

No one who saw the so-called fight be

was freely expressed that club managers
should not only verify the records claim ed
by lighters but try them out before match
