Ball Players From the Southern Seas
Matched Against American Experts.
The Australian baseball team under
the management Of Harry Musgrave,
who was here last summer as the man
ager of the Australian cricket team, is
now in the east.
Mr.. Musgrave has in his charge l3
players, II of whom represent the col
ony of Victoria and two that of South
Australia, the only two Australian
provinces in which the game of base
ball has taken root. Most of the players
are cricketers, and it was mainly with
the idea of keeping themselves in good
cricket form during the winter that
they took to baseball.
In Australia the game is played in
the winter and generally as prelude
to football match.
Up to the present it has not attracted
much public attention, for the reason
that the Australian people have never
been initiated into the mysteries Of the
game but there are hundreds of play
ers who are devoted to the pastime. 1t
was mainly with view TO improving
their knowledge of the game and be-
ing able to apply the latest American
methods to their practice of it on their
return that they are in this country.
The men arrived in San francisco
early in April and played their way
across the continent. They have wor
several games. Their chief weakness
has been in pitching and throwing.

must meet such horses as Robert j,
Star Pointer and Frank Agan cannot be
handicapped in any manner and win.
Ames last season gave Robert Wilkes q
record of 2:l0, and he also drove Northcr

LUETGERT'S DEFENSE
The Woman Enticed Away by Robert
Davy

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE jury in the
Luetgert case was completed today and
the case is now ready for trial.
To clear Luetgert his attorneys will,
in the trial now commenced, introduce
a new line of defense. In maintaining
the theory that Mrs. Luetgert is still
alive, her acquaintance with Robert
pavy, an Englishman with engaging
manners, who is blamed by Luetgert for
his business troubles, will be brought
out in court and the fact dwelt upon
that Davy, who conducted the negotia-
lions with Luetgert for the incorpora-
ton and enlargement of his business,
was very polite to Mrs. Luetgert, paying
her marked attentions and frequently,
so 1t is said by close friends Of Luetgert,
spending all the day with her at the
house from which the state maintains
her husband lured her to her death in the
basement Of the adjoining sausage fac
tory.
Davy left Chicago last January, os-
tensibly to get the money for the sale Of
Luetgert's sausage factory to Dutch
syndicate. Mrs. Luetgert disappeared
on the night of May 1. Whether the two
corresponded in the meantime cannot be
learned, but that the pair were greatly
interested in each other will be alleged,
and upon this line the accused will base
his defense.

IF ANNEXATION FAILS
KAIULANI WILL RULE OVER
HAWAII
Senate Committeeman Convinced
That England Is Backing the
Claims Of the Princess

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE downfall
ton of the monarchy with Kaiulani,
niece of former Queen Liliuokalani,
reigning under British domination, is the
future predicted for Hawaii by the adj
vocates of annexation in the event of the
rejection of the pending treaty by the
Senate. says the Washington cores
pendent of the Herald. Leading men,
bers of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations appear to be unanimous
in the belief that when the treaty is
called up after the holidays, it is said.
evidence will be furnished to prove that
there is some secret work now going on
in that direction. 1t is alleged that the
Hawaiians now in this city to protest
against the ratification of the treaty, are
here in the interest of Kaiulani, and that
English influence is behind the move
ment.
Members of the committee declare
there is something even more substan-
tial than this to prove that the failure of
the United States to take Hawaii means
European domination over the islands.
Just what this information is, members
of the committee decline to divulge, but
the significant statement was made that
when the facts are brought out in ex-
ecutive session of the Senate it would
bring to the support of the treaty several
Senators who are now on the other side.
It is on account of this secret informa-
ton in possession of the committee that
Senator Davis will oppose the discussion
of the treaty in open session. He will
insist on it's consideration behind closed
doors, and he will be supported in this
proposition by all the members of the
committee.

A RECEIVER REMOVED
ON APPLICATION OF A HEAVY
CREDITOR
Land Must Be Sold to Provide for the
Payment of the Gould
Loan

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-THE Lon
don and San Francisco bank was today
given judgment by Judge Morrow of the
United States circuit court in its suit
to have Edgar A. Cohen of Alameda re-
moved as trustee of considerable prop
erty in the state.
The litigation arose out of the loan of
So 500 made by Mrs. Emile Cohen, his
mother, in 1898, to May Gould and her
husband, Eugene H. Gould.
To secure the loan three notes were
given by Mrs. Gould and her husband,
each for $23,500 and trust deed to
property situated in various parts of the
state was executed, of which deed Edgar
A. Cohen was made trustee. The deed
provided that in the event of the notes
not being paid. the trustee should be en-
powered to sell any or all of the real
estate at the demand Of the holder of
the notes.
Mrs. Cohen, shortly after the notes
came into her possession, assigned them
to the London and San Francisco bank.
In January, 1896, two of the notes fell
due, and the bank, as holder of them,
called upon Mrs. Gould and her husband
to pay them. They failed to do so, and
the bank then notified Edgar A. Cohen
to sell the real estate of the Goulds of
which he was trustee. He failed to do
this, though repeatedly requested by the
bank to do so, hence this suit.
Judge Morrow this morning gave judg-
ment in favor of the bank and removed
Cohen from his trusteeshp.
His successor will be appointed in
few days, and the real estate, which is
situated in San Francisco, Oakland, AL
ameda. Fresno and Los Angeles, will be
sold under the terms of the deed of trust,
as prayed for by the bank.

CLIPPERToN CLAIMS
Mexico Makes Objection to British
Occupation

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 17.-Advices
from Mexico state that the Mexican
gunboat Democratic and the sloop or
schooner Don Teolilo Garcia sailed from
Mazatlan on December Sth for Clipper
ton Island on an important mission for
the government. This mission is to re-
assert Mexican authority over the is
land, to claim the island against any
occupants who might be found.
AS 1t is understood that an English
man-of-war placed few people on the
island some time ago, virtually taking
possession of the island as British soil,
the Importance of the Democrata's trip
is evident.

THE BERNHART ESTATE
A Dissatisfied Heir Will Appeal to

STOCKTON, Dec. 17.-There is to be a

Bernhart, who was one of the wealthiest
farmers Of the county, and died a few
weeks ago. His estate is worth sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, and the
