said the board was unanimously in favor
of Sunday racing under divisional option !;
that every racing man in the co.ntry is in
favor of it. Yet it was defeated. That

Asked directly as to his own position in
the matter Judge Kerrgan said:

up. | told them afterward that when We
did crooked politics in San Francisco,
which was very seldom. we prided our
selves that they were pretty or rocked; but
we couldn't hold a candle to them.
'.The most despised man on the floor
was Monaghan. chief consul of the South
ern California division. Nobody liked
him and he was hissed time and again.
He wanted us to secede, conduct Sunday
racing and take chances of getting back
in the league next year. This was be-
fore the vote. l replied that he was un-
fair-thau he wanted US to commit q
wrong to establish right.
'The Eastern dele gates could not under
stand why California was divided against
itself, the south not favoring sunday rae
ing. l argued that the environments were
different, so different that a division of
the State had been found necessary.

they had. l quoted the Native Sons

Judge Kerrigan said he had enjoyed his
trip very much. The weather had been
pleasant and not so cold as he had ex-
pected. 1--WE were always on the lookout
for the San Francisco papers and could

Judge Morrow was the unanimous

California street, and was largely at
tended. No other name was suggested.
The secretary of the association was in
structed to send copy of the resolutions
to President Mckinley. to each of the
California Senators and Representatives
in Congress, and also TO Judge McKenna,
the idea being to impress these. who have
influence in making the appointment,
with the fact that Judge Morrow is dee ed
worthy of the place and is urged for the
office by the largest representative lie gal
association of the circuit be would preside
over. Who Judge Morrow's successor
may be on the United States District
bench should this appointment bs made is
question that will come up later
The meeting yesterday was called prin-
cipally for the purpose of discussing the
propriety OF indorsing some one for the
Circuit Judgeship. No other business wa.
brought up. None other was contem-
plated.
Every one seemed agreeable to Judge
Morrow, but for fear that it might be de-
cided no: to indorse any one the associa-
tion held an executive session, in order
that no publicity might be given to its de-
liberations should they fail of their object
But there were no objections. Those who
spoke were enthusiastic in their preference
for Judge Morrow. The resolutions will
be sent on to Washine eton to-day.

BUTLER'S CASE
TO Be APPEALED
Il Will Be Taken to the
United States Supreme
Court.
Application for Habeas Corpus
Drawn to Balk Extra.
diticn.
Says He Is John Newman and Was
Unlawfu ly ARRESTED on British
Territory.

Murderer Butler is destined to remain
here many moons yet. His case will be
carried to the United States Supreme
Court on certain appeal OF an applica-
tion for habeas corpus.
The application has been drawn up
by A. L. Black, counsel for the prisoner
with many aliases. To-day it will be
properly attested so that it may be ready
for hasty filing in the United States Cir
cult Court.
The necs ssity for haste lies in the fact
that Geographic orders may come to-day
or tomorrow from Washington permit
ting the extradition of the murderer and
the departure to- morrow OF tine Australian
detectives with their prisoner aboard the
steamship Alameda, bound for Sydney,
New South Wales, the city in which in
the distant future the fend of the Blue
Mountains must stand trial on charge of
several murders.
The writ, however, will not be applied
for until all order shall have been received
permitting Butter to be transported TO
Australia. Should it come later the OBJ.
lection will be interposed in time to pre-
vent his removal by the next steamer,
which sails about two weeks hence from
Victoria, B. c., for Sydney.
Last Saturday all the papers in the case
were mailed to Washington and will
reach there to-day. On Sunday Mr.. Cormac C
of the firm of Cormac & Donohoe. attor-
neys for Great Britain in the Butler case,
left here for Washington, presumably to
see that no slip occurs in the issuance of
the extradition papers.
These are in substance the grounds upon
which writ of habeas corpus is asked
for: The prisoner is not Frank Butler, or
Frank Harwood, or Lee Weller. or any
of the other aliases under which he is con-
fined. He is John Newman, British
subject, who has com mitted no crime
against. the laws of California or the City
and County of San Francisco. He is here
detained and deprived of his personal lib
erty by Barry Baldwin, United States
Marshal for the northern district of CALI
fornia. He was arrested while on British
terrItory--the British flag covering the
Swanhilda and her cargo-and while on
: his way from one part of the British do
main 70 another. He was not seeking the
United States as an asylum or a refuge,
and was forcibly and against his will re-
moved from the British vessel in which
he came from Australia.
As the days pass by Attorney Black is
wond ering if the check that Butler gave
him on an Australian bank is good for
anything. He sent it to Australia, but
will not hear from it for nearly two
months.

WOUNDED IN THE HIP.
Sam Marks Struck by a Bullet Through
a Young Mans Careless

The report OF a pistol attracted quite q
crowd to the corner OF Powell and Eddy
streets last night about 9 o'clock, and for
some minutes the widest rumors were
af1oat.
IL appeared that three young men had
come ont of the Louvre and one of them
had been fooling with revolver. 1t went
off accidentally and the bullet nearly
killed Sam Marks. young man well
known among the sporting men.
Marks was going up the steps leading to
the biiliard-rooms on the first floor OF st.
AIMS building at the moment the pistol
was discharged. He felt singing sensa-
ton in his right hip, but did not for
minute imagine that he had been hi: by
bullet. The three young men disappeared
as soon as the pistol was discharged.
Marks had q narrow escape.
