WHO WILL GET GLADYS?
Miss Wallace May Leave the
Frawley Company for
Comic Opera,
Mrs. Kreling Has Written Contract
and Frawley Says He Has
One of Words.

1t is likely that the word and the sigma
ture of Miss Gladys Wallace of the Fraw-
leg Company Will cause her trouble. Mrs.
Ernestine Kreling of the Tivoli claims
she has cont ract whereby Miss Wallace
will become the leading soubrette of the
Eidy-street opera-house for one year.
The comic opera season will open at the
Tivoli three weeks from tonight with
"The Geisha," and Miss Wallace was to
make her debut to the theater-going
people OF this city in opera.
When Mr.. Frawley heard that con-
tract had be- en- signed whereby he was to
lose one of his company he was e1-
tremely wrought I'D, as his season does
not close until May 1 of next year. He
claims that Miss Wallace signed the con-
tract with Mrs. Kreling, if sign she did,
under misapprehen sion. as she had a
verbal contract with him to remain the
balance of the season with his company.
George Lask, stage manager OF the
Tivoli, when asked regarding Miss Wal
lace's contract with Mr.. Frawley, said ::
"Al | know is that Miss Wallace signed
contract with the Tivoli management t
for years engagement, to commence in
three weeks, and as l have not been au-
vised to the contrary l suppose that she

PONY MOORE TALKS FIGHT
Charlie MitcheII's Father-in-Law Hero
to Have Him Meet Peter
jackson.

At the Baldwin Hotel, just arrived here
from London, is the well-preserved r.
year-old sport George Washington Moore,
better known as Pony" Moore. tie
father-iu-Iaw OF Charlie Mitchell, the
prize fighter.
From what he says and from what he
will not say it is probable that the veper-
able backer and handler OF pugilists has
come to San Francisco to promote meet
ing of Mitchell and Peter Jackson.
When seen last night he said:
81 amt saying what L m here for. That
amt business. Let it go that Pm just in
town for pleasure
''Mr. Mitchell will be out here in three
weeks. He's in as good condition as he
ever was in his life. When he gets here
that'll be time to say what he's going to
do. hes SO years old and able to look out
for h1sself.
Peter Jackson said something to me
tonight that he wouldn't say if Mitchell
was here. He had considerable aboord at
the time. He called Mitchell eur, and
he said 1 was no friend of his.
81 may be a friend OF Jackson's, and
may not be. And may be here for his
interests.
Il challenged Jackson forty times in
London for Mitchell, but be wouldn't
fight in any club but the one that Mitchell
had had row with and they wouldn't
let him fight in. He offered TO fight there
any time that the club would let him, or
anywhere else.
He'd fight Jackson here tonight.
He'll fight him anywhere.
What chance would Jackson have with
Fnzsimmons? About as much show as
would. What chance would he have with
Corbett? Same chance l would. That's
my opinion of Jackson's preseot ability.
OF course / am entitled to my oplnion.
There was a story in a New York paper
and telegraphed here that | was terribly
mauled in a drunken row In barroom
there. That's - lie, and here's a
signed statement from Frank ]. Bang,
proprietor of the Sturtevant House, show
ing that l was miles away Wien the scrap
took place in his Parroom."

SUNSET SERVICES.
New Years Greeting Delivered by
Rabbi Meyers.

The synagogue of the Congregation
Ohabai Shalome was filled last evening
for the services to usher in the Hebrew
new year. A choir composed of Mrs. Eva
Tenny. Mrs. Olive Reed Cushman,
Charles Parent. Willis E. Bachelor. Sara
Bienenfeld, Maude Frank and D. NJ.
Lawrence rendered some excellent music
appropriate to the holidays. Among .he
songs were: "En Kamocko," "Lecho
Adouvi "Kedusha" and ''Adon Olom."
These selections are the com positions of
T. Deliepiane, the organi~t of the syna-
gogue. The singing was under the dIrec-
ton of Rev. D. MeYerson as cantor.
The peculiar feature of the sermon by
Rabbi Is dore Meyers was that it was part
n poetry. His text was Ethics of the
Father" In prose the sp aker briefly ex-
pIained the meaning OF the new year, and
exhorted his hearers TO
Think whence you come and whittier go,
And in whose presence you must show
A true review of life below.
In the conclusion of the sermon in
poetry the speaker bids farewell 10 the
old year from wach there is no hope, Joy
or strength to be drawn. He dwelt on the
fact that the shadows OF our past acts rise
like ghostiy shapes and fill us with gloom,
and that a, we near the grave we mourn
the past and dread the end.
But in the new year." he continued,
''hope and strength return as radiant Wis
ions, and we cease mourning the past and
look forward TO the future, and realize
that we can make our life what we wish it
each day"
Services to commemorate the holidays
will he held Today, and the concluding g
exercises take place to- morrow evening.
Sunset services were also held in the
Sheriff. Israel Temple by Rev. Jacob
Nieto and in the Beth Israel Temple by
Rev. NJ. S. Levy.

TO be about for day or so. Four days
after he sought his bed again and rapidly

moned by telegraph.

JUDGES ~MUSTAPPOINT
NEW LAW REMOVES ELEC-
TON BOARDS.
Attorpey-0enerai symth Answer Numer.
ous ~Irqalries and Says County Judges
Mnst Appoint Repobiican Chairman
DissatisRsd.

AS the time for holding conventions
and performing other political work ap-
proaches, politicians and officers all
over the state are making inquiries n
to the meaning Of some Of the election
laws passed by the last Legislature
several county judges and county at
torneys have written Attorney-Gen.
eral Smyth asking whether the act re-
lating to the appointment of mon
hartisan' election boards by county
judges really legislates the present
election boards out of Office. The at
torney.general answered these inquir-
les by saying that the law does remove
the present boards and that county
judges must make appointments this
fall under tn. new act.
The act in question is house roll No.
10, by Mr.. Clark Of Lancaster, n repub
lican. The act was condemned recent
ly by Chairman Post OF the republican
state central committee because IL
takes from the people the right 70 eject
OF the boards and provides q
system for appointing whereby the re-
publican party may always be in the
minority on the boards. 1t is admitted
by populists that this will be the re-
suit rs long as fusion prevails between
two or more parties in the state. When
the new law was before the legisla-
ture for consideration it was argued
that the present system of selecting
election boards was o satisfactory
because the dominant party in every
precinct had the entire board and op
position parties had no representation
thereon. 1t was cluimed that the bill
before the Legislature would result in
the selection of a better grade Of Of,
ficsrs because the county Judge would
be the appointing power.
