criticise the shameless effronaery displayed
BY the allied bosses. Voters u the party
living In sections that for years have had
no recognition are tired Of working for other
portions Of the state that are always rep
resented on the tickets when the bosses
combine. And there are still others. But
what could you expect for q ticket put up
in the open by politicians such as Hunting

CrImmins? Not name among the lot
stands for anything politically other than
jobbery, trickery and dishonesty. and not

have come from one Of the now notorious

Of them has called every other one scoun-

change of heart will not prove easy. There
Is only one tenable theory: Gage hypnotized

A PECULIAR CASE
A Prisoner Claims he Is Not the Man
4, Wanted

Under Sheriff Clement and Deputy sher-
| if Frank Davis arrested Joseph Slavin OF
7O3 Commercial street yesterday afternoon
who they claim is in reality Joseph Alt
man, and Is wnted in Denver, Colo, for
living defulted In bond of some character
the nature of which is not known. On the
other hand the family of the man assert
positively that he has never been in Colo
RADIO in his life, and II their claims are right.
It is a case OF mistaken description as well
as identity.
About two weeks ago Sheriff Burr re-
ceived communication from the Denver
authorities requesting that he arrest Jo-
seph Altman, who had skipped from there,
jumping bond. The Denver authorities
said their man had gone to the state OF
Washington and they had traced him to
this place by means of letters. The local
officers say they ascertained that Altman
was passing under the name Of Slavin, a
peddler.
The Denver authorities sent photograph
Of Altman and yesterday the local officers
went to Slavin's house to arrest him. They
claimed that his appearance Tailed with the
photograph. Slavin or Altman asked to
see the picture, and then, SO the officers
assert, tore 1t in half. The officers placed
him under arrest, but he resisted. His wife
flew to his rescue with broom stick, while
four of the six children, who were in the
yard, turned the hose onto the officers when
they saw their father being led away.
Clement and Davis rose superior to such
tribulations, though, and took their man
to the county Jail, to hold him pending the
arrival of the warrant for his arrest, which
the Denver authorities wired they held.
Slavin claimed so the officers assert. that
the bond had been only In a civil matter,
and they had no right to arrest him on
Sunday i'm connection with 1t.
Mrs. Slavin and Harry. her son, were seen
last night regarding the affair. Both ex-
pressed surprise at the arrest of Slavin
When informed regarding the Denver bond
matter, they said that it was all mistake
for Slavin had never been in Colorado.
When the family left Europe twelve years
ago for this country they came by the way
of the isthmus of Panama, and had resided
three years In San Diego and the rest of the
time in Los Angeles. Slavin is a peddler.
Harry has been employed, he said, for the
past four years in the hardware store of
]. w. Hellman. They will engage attor-
neys today and endeavor to secure the re-
lease of Slavln. who, they are positive, Is
the victim OF mistake.

THE BATTLE OF MANILA
The Great Pyrotechnic Spectacle to Be
Given This Evening


Tonight at Athletic park, one block south
OF the Arcade depot. will be presented
Pains most magnificent spectacle, 1.-The
Fall of Manila" For sensational and
thrilling effects, no other entertainment
Pain has ever given has commanded so
great an amount of public attention as this
reproduction Of the most famous naval bat
tie since the days. Of Trafalgar. This
great production is for the benefit Of a
national monument to the martyrs of the
Maine and the heroes Of Cuban battlefields,
and comes direct from Manhattan Beach,
N. Y.
The stage upon which this spectacle will
be presented will cover over three hundred
feet, and with the advantage Of the open
air and the use of explosives, with which he
is so famously familiar, a pretty accurate
idea of naval warfare as 1t actually exists
will be witnessed.
The action takes place before the fort Of
Cavite, with the arsenal seen in the dis
lance and the bay Of Manila in the fore
ground. Each ship Of the Spanish navy is
seen with historical fidelity. Under the
garb of night enters our Dewey's squad
ron, and then follow with accurate detail
all the lnclucnts OF the famous encounter.
To gain the results required, many novel
and ingenious effects are introduced into
this spectacle, which has never before
been seen in any of Pains great spectacles.
Interspersed between these pyrotechnic
features will be patriotic and Jubilee songs,
naval and military drills, athletic sports
such as the "boys in blue" present at the
front during camp life before action, and
In the interim many patriotic features to
round out an evening in which we have
Remembered the Maine"
The signals, as given during the maneu-
ers of the Spanish fleet and Dewey's squad
ron. will be given by our local signal corps.
The military features will be presented by
Troop D. under Captain Rowland, assisted
by the signal corps and portion of Com
panies A, c and F, Seventh regiment. The
bugle corps is wyatt's buglers, and the
drummers a new local organization. The
Crown City quartette will furnish patriotic
songs and airs, assisted by selected cho-
rus. Every lady present will receive
copy of the song, Heroes Of the Name"
The spectacle is the same as produced in
the east

KILLED A NEGRO SOLDIER.
TarDer of the Sixth Virginia Tried
to Cut a Conductor.

Macon, Ga, Dec. 22.-Private Turner of
the Sixth Virginia Regiment was shot and
almost instantly killed by o. A. Thrower
a street car conductor this afternoon.
Turner boarded Throwers car very
drunk and used the viest language ina
ginabe in the presence of ladies' Thrower
told him to get off the car But Ne re-
fused. Thrower then pulled him out of
the car to the rear platform and kept
him there until a lady got off. While
Thrower was assisting the lady Off the
negro kicked him several times and APP
piled more vile epithets
A negro on a trailer car then called
Turner, but after short talk he returned
to Thrower's car with knife in his hand
and swearing he would cut Thrower' S
head, advanced ON him. AS he stepped on
the platform Thrower fired, the bullet
striking the negro in the mouth. He died
in fifteen minutes.
A crowd of negro soldiers and civilians
soon gathered and swore vengeance on
Thrower and all street car conductors.
One conductor was chased several blocks
by the negroes. Guards have been placed
on all cars on the line leading to the negro
camps, and tonight the camp is under
strong guard TO prevent an outbreak on
the part of the negro soldiers.
Thrower is son of Rev. o. A. ThroWer,
presiding elder of Dublin district.
