The Administration of the As

Blamed.
THREATS OF MANY WITHDRAWALS.
Chairman WelCh Of the Receiving
Board Censured for His
Severity.

new element, and one that may
change the com mplexion of affairs, has
been injected into the battle between the
California Associated Cycling Clubs ana
the North California Division, League of
American Wheelmen, for supremacy in
cycling affairs on the Pacific Coast.
stroug element in the Bay City
Wheelnen, the main support of the asso-
citation in this city, has taken um bragg at
the manner in which the mem bers of the
club have been handled and they are
openly saying that unless the admins
tration of the organization changes they
will refuse to ride in it's meetings or par
ticipate in any of its affairs.
The blame for the present condition of
things Is laid at tae door OF Chairman r.
Nj. Welch OF the racing board of the asso-
citation, who is styled dictator" dis
turblng spirit" ana other things quite as
uncomp mplimentary. With the association
itself and its objects the cyclists are
heartily in accord.
The trouble began over the placing of
Kratts, the crack road rider of the Bay
Cltys, In the professional ranks. It. was
claimed that the stalwart hero of the road
was no more entitled to be retired from
the amateur ranks than dozens Of Others
Mr.. WEIGH used certain information in
his possession to declare Krafts profess
slonal.
Then came the suspension of J. R.
Kenna, the Bay Citys' track pet, who was
put on the shelf for year because he
dared to ride in a little meet where no
sanction had been obtained from the as
sociation.
1t is pointed out tha. riders who have
competed in open l.. A. w. meets where
an admission fee was charged were only
suspended for thirty or sixty days, and
that it was clearly the intention of max
ing kenna scapegoat that prompted
WEIGH to give him such a severe sentence
when his only offense was riding at a
meet where no admission was charged.
The most severe di isciplInarians say that
six months off the track would have been
ample punishment, and really more than
the offense warranted.
The utterances of the chairman of the
racing board regarding the Academic
League and other organizations are
brought up as evidences that he is assum-
ing the functions of a dictator. Those
who nave the interests of the ass ssociation
most ct heart point out that his policy
should have been to affiliate with such
organizations as the Academic Athletic
League and the Pacific Coast re presenta-
tlves OF the American Athletic Union
rather than to antagoniZe them.
The officers who shape the policy of the
Bay Citys are determined that the club
shall stay in line with the ASSOCIATION, but
they are having a hard time to control the
element that would vent It's displeasure
on Chairman Welch by Withdrawing from
the association.

A Pretty Romance That Began
Years Ago in Guaymas,
Mexico.
WERE CONSTANT SEVEN YEARS.
Justice Kerrigan Unites Lovers Who
Remained Trne Despite Parental
Objection.

Luis Loaiza, the scion of the wealthy
Spanish family OF that name, chose a
queer time and place for his wedding to
the girl of his choice. 1t will be sur
prise to the friends of the dashing Luis to
know that ne is married at all, yet the
fact Is that he was united on the evening
of October 80 to Enriqueta E. Donde, q
handsome girl of Castilisn lineage, in q
private room at Marchand's restaurant.
w. Loaiza, the head of the firm OF w.
Loaiza q Co. of 218 and 220 Sansome
street, is the father of the groom and is
one of the wealthiest of the Spanish busi-
ness men of San Francisco.
The marriage came as a surprise to him,
as well as TO the rest of the proud family
that bears his name.
In fact, the marriage is the end of a
romance which began several years ago
The Loaizas came here from Quay mas,
Mexico, where for generations back they
occupied a high social as well as CONNER
ciaI position.
Nearly, ii not altogether, equal in rank
was the Donde family. of which she who
Is now Mrs. Luis LOalZa was the pride and
pet.
A friendship that soon ripened into love
sprang up between young Don Luis and
the handsome Enriqueta, but there was
an obstruction to their union IN the shape
of an old feud, such as often divides the
old Spanish families.
They sighed in vain. for their parents
were obdurate. and while they were sigh.
ing Loaiza Senior decided to remove 10
San Francisco, and LUIS was com PEELED to
lear himself from his inamorata.
They parted with many promises to be
constant until death, and within a month
nalf the length of a continent divided
them.
Years passed on and many of Loaiza'
San Francisco friends wondered why he
remained single while the same query en-
tered the minds of the girPs friends.
Then came a change and Miss Donde
obtained the permission OF her parents 10
visit friends in San francisco, and h r
coming to California was communicated
to the waiting Luis. He met his sweet.
heart at the steamer and vows that had
been made year, before were renewed. A
wedding was decided upon, and to avoid
interference from LOaiza Sr. il was ar
ranged 10 take place before Justice OF
the Peace.
A license was quietly procured and JUS
tice KerrIgan was asked to perform the
ceremony. The couple could not reach
his office before closing hour, so it was
necessary to see him later.
Judge Kerrigan was engaged as toast
master at a banquet that evening, and it
was finally arranged that the lovers
should meet him there.
Just before the banquet began hack
dashed up to the restaurant and Loaiza,
his bride and a notary's clerk, who was to
act as witness, alighted- Justice Kerri-
gan was called ana in a private room the

WILL CHANGE THE LIST,
Colonel Sullivan Planning to Strengthen
the New Democratic Executive
Committee.

The local branch of the Democracy,
headed by Colonel w. P. Sullivan, en-.
gagged permanent headquarters at $50
Market street yesterday. a meeting oi
the new executive committee named by
Sullivan to succeed those who deserted his
standard and went into Raney's camp
will be held tonight, and an effort will be
made to amend the constitution. Sulli-
van and his advisers realize that the COM
mittee is not as strong as it might be, as
some OF the new members have in the
past been actively engaged in politics
with Rainey and Buckley.
AS the constitution of the party now
stands, it was necessary to select the
executive com mittee from the body of the
general com mmittee. In several districts
Sullivan was unable to find mem bers who
had not been at some time followers of
Rainey. Under he circum mstances he
named those whom he thought might
have tired of their allegiance to the old
Democratic bosses. To get rid of the
doubtful ones and permit of the selection
of men who are not allied to either boss
it will be necessary to amend the consti.
tuition so that the committee may be se-
lected from the body OF the party and not
from the old general committee.

SHOT TN Her BREAST.
Mrs. Griffin Found in a Bath
Room Dangerously
Wounded.
She Explains the Strange Circum-
stance as Being Caused by
Domestic Trouble.

The police are investigating the case OF
a married woman who was shot in the
left breast Sunday morning either by her.
self or by somebody else.
The woman is Mrs. James Griffin, All
Tenth street. She is about 35 years of age
and has two children, boy and n girl.
Her husband Is machinist in the employ
OF the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.
The police did not know about the
shooting until yesterday morning and
Captain Spillane at once detailed Detec-
tive O'Dea to make an investigation.
The result of o. Dea's inquiries was that
Mrs. Griffin had attempted to commit
suicide. Sunday morning, between 10 and
IL o'clock, she went into the bathroom,
locked the door, and shortly afterward her
sister, Miss Ashton, was startled by hear
ing two shots fired lrom the direction of
the bathroom.
Griffin is a machinist and mis- duties
compel MIN to work at all hours. He
worked all Saturday night and did not
reach home till about IL O'Clock Sunday
morning, when his sistel-in-Iaw told him
of the shooting, and that she had been un-
able to open The bathroom door.
Griffin forced open the door and found
his wife lying unconscious on the floor,
with a revolver beside her. Two cham
bers were empty. He at once summoned
DR.. E. P. Driscoll, who made an examina-
ton and found that there was a wound in
Mrs. Griffin's left breast near the heart.
Mrs. Griffin was able to talk yesterday
and she said she had fired the first shot
into her left breast. Then she fired again,
but missed. She expressed regret for at
tempting to kill herself, and when asked
why she had done so she said she had
domestic troubles caused by her sister,
Mss Ashton denied that her sister had
any cause to blame her. She said that
since their mother died about year ago
her sister had been partly insane and
imagined things.
Dr.. Driscoll also said that Mrs. Griffin's
mind seemed little affected. The wound
was dangerous and she might not re-
cover.

Buying in the City.

The efforts of the Manufacturers and I'm
porters' League to bring country merchants to
the city to make their purchases OF stock are
meeting with success. In the past the custom
has been for those having stores in the various
parts Of the State to make their purchases
from Eastern drummers and pay no thought
to the fact that in this State there are manu-
facturers OF every commodity that the average
customer desires, and that the prices are rea-
sonable: The plan of the league is to provide
those who make their purchases in this city
with tickets emitting them 10 free transporta-
tion to their homes. This offer is attracting
many, and in consequence the local producer
Is being benefited. Yesterday a dozen country
merchants registered at the headquarters ia
the Mills building. Their purchases in this
city amount 10 from $500 70 $4,000.

Charles Martin, who discovered the
bodies, roomed in the house with the
mond carshnps. He was taken to the

Dromey was married and lived at 248
Clementina street. His wife has been
sick with pneumonia for the past three
months, and last Friday he left the house
to get doctor, saying that he would re-

The police say that Dromey was quite a
heavy drinker at times. 1t is supposed
that he became intoxicated and instead
of going home went to his sister and the
accident was the result of his condition.

A Long Chase for the Man Who
Escaped From Chief
Lees.
Tried to Kill His Wife in Lodging
House on McAllister Street
a Month Ago.

The chase for James G. Bennett,
machinist who attempted the life of his
wife by cutting her throat in lodging
house at IA McAllister street on October 9,
is at an end. Bennett was arrested last
night in Victoria, B. C. He was then go
ing by the name of O'Neil. The news OF
his arrest reached San Francisco at about
10 o'clock by the following dispatch 10
Chief Lees: q

Bennett, after the assault upon his wife,
tried to end his own life by severing the
iugular vein of his own throat, but the
wound inflicted was only superficial one,
though painful, and he was sent pr1s-
oner to the Receiving Hospital for treat
ment. He was there for three days when
When the policeman who was detailed
to guard him was absent from his bedside
for a moment that night Bennett slipped
on the clothing and boldly walked out
through the hospital door. A hack was
waiting at the corner of the Mechanics
Pavilion for him, and when he emerged
from the hospital some friends rushed
him to the carriage and drove him of
down the Mission road.
The next morning one of the mounted
police which guards the outlying districts
of the city reported seeing the hack driv-
ing furiously toward San Mateo, and then
the police started in pursuit of the fugi-
tive.
Chief Lees was IN a happy frame OF
mind when the first dispatch was handed
TO him last night. Said he:
1--WE have been close on that fellows
trail almost from the moment he escaped
from the hospital. We Ioca ed him in
San Mateo County, but before we could
get to him he was spirited away
and the next We heard of him
he was in Alameda County, but
by the time that news of his
whereabouts reached us he was in fight
again and heading north. A few days ago
he was definitely located in the vicinity of
Victoria, and complete description of
him was sent to Chief of Police Shepard
there. 1t gives me great deal of pleasure
to have Bennett again in CUSTODY" J
