failure TO appear in his own defense when
Mrs. Langtry began her suit in Lakeport
in 1895 caused considera bic surprise. 1t
was not until Judge Crump of the Supe-
rior Court of Lake County granted her de-
cree that Mr.. Langtry gave as his reasons

that he did not recognize the validity OF

cree, would remain undistur bed until her
death.
Mrs. Langtry's first appearance in
America created quite a sensation, she
having al tat time the reputa ton OF
being the most beautiful woman in the
world, her beauty having captured the
aristocracy of Europe. She has since then

PROMISES that they shall receive 1t.
The management of the present tourna-

ceive the public; trickery, chicanery ana
evasion have been its instruments to ex-
act money from patrons Rules, never
promulgated, have been used to whip al
Legged recalcitrant teams into line. In
timidation and threat have been used as
cudgels to beat down honest sport. Box
office receipts have been juggled with that
the promoters might receive plethorlc
returns and the players nothing but the
satisfaction of making base hit or
stolen base.
The new league, known as the Califor-
MIA Baseball League, was formed shortly
after meeting of the executive com NIT

Mayor Phelan's office yesterday morning.
Those at the meeting were George A.

they being greatly Interested financially
in the proceedings. None of the clubs
were allowed represe sentative. The meet
ing was executive. At its conclusion Sec
rotary Pringle announced that the ReIi-
ance and Gilt Edge teams were guilty OF
violating the instructions of the secretary
IN playing an exhibition game at Sacra-
mento Sunday. The management was
willing to reinstate them, however, if the
other clubs in the tournament unanl-
mously petitioned for reinstatement.
The com mittee took no action in refer
ence to giving the players 40 per cent of
he gross receipts. This demand OF the
Reliance and Gilt Edge teams was ignored
entirely. The Will & Fincks and the Cali.
fornia Markets are playing for 30 per cent
of the gross receipts, thus violating a
written contract entered into with the Re-
lance Club.

announced Cal Ewing of the Reliance

Only the prom pit and effective work of the
Fire Department and the fire tug Governor
Markham saved the gasoline schooner
Moro from destruction at her berth at
Mission wharf 1 last evening, and pre-
vented what might have proved fearful
ca astrophe.
The Moro runs along the coast between
this port and Coq1ille River, Or, and fin
ished her loading last evening, so as to be
in readiness to sail on the tide this morn
ing.
On her forward deck were piled num-
her OF boxes OF dynamite and several cases
of coal oil. The gasoline fuel to be used
on the trip was placed on the deck along
side the feed tank that supplies the engine
and hose run into the receptacle.
The gasoline had no sooner started to
flow than the end OF the feed tank became
detached and flew around so that some of
the combustib bla fluid ran over the side
and into the shylight leading into the
ca bin. The lights were lit and in an in
slant a tower OF flame shot out of the
cabin and communicated with the gaso-
line in the tank.
An alarm of fire was turned in from box
SO, and by the time the engines reached
the scene the flames were eating away the
wood work of the cabin and licking at the
sail furled on the main boom overhead.
Several streams were turned on, and with
the assistance of the Markham the fire
was soon under control.
When Captain Jorgensen first saw the
flames, he ordered the dynamite and coal
oil hurried ashore, and it was soon out of
danger

several hundred dollars, aud the portion
