STANFORD WINS
 THE FIRST GAME
Opening Match of the Alumni University Baseball

A Slow Game Devoid of Interest but There Was Very Close

The first game between the alumni nine, composed of graduates of both Stanford and California, and Stanford's S every respect but attendance. For nine protracted innings the players cavorted on the field and not cheer for either side disturbed the perfect calm that pre- vailed. Stanford won out by a score of 5 to 3. Only in the last inning was there any show of a contest, when the alumni recovering from a lethargy that was con- suming, eXerted itself and scored three runs.
 With but one or two exceptions the game was devoid of interest or features Lannigan, Stanfords pitcher, a long the cause of the game lasting over two hours. Before delivering the spheroid he would pose in several different styles, weighing the chances of being found in successive mental eyolutions and meas ur1ng distances with slow and calm delib- eration. Now and then a shout from the persecuted spectators would force upon and the ball would be thrown. Lannigan has speed, however, but the ball must be thrown before 1t can be appreciated His work was successful, for he sent few to bases on balls and retired many.
 On the part of Stanford the game was devoid of errors; five were charged to the alumni account.
 In the last time at bat, with the score to against them, the ex-college men scored three runs by the splendid hitting and base-running of Lewis Allen and Mckee. William Lange umpired the game.

 Half way up the block the fleeing burglar turned and sent a bullet whiZ- zing past the head of Rodriguez. The latter dropped on one knee and emptied his revolver at the fellow, but failed to hit him. He missed each time and returned to arrest Solomon, who had stood quietly in front of the store. As soon as the special had done firing l sent two bullets after Nelson, and Ca pels shot once just as the burglar was turning to the right into Powell street
 "On Powell, between Green and Union, I fired twice more. When Nell son reached Union street he was near ly twenty yards ahead. He sped across Powell street to the left and up Union. He was around tha corner out of sight for an instant, and then it was that we heard a single shot AS we round ed the corner in hot pursuit. there lay the burglar, about fifty feet from the corner. He was lying on his face, his head being toward us. A bulldog re-
 
 was pouring from a wound in his breast. He was dead.''
 The policemen then sent for the Morgue wagon, while Rodriguez took Solomon to the City Prison. He admits that he knew Nelson, but claims that their meeting at this hour so far from home, both living in the same house at 512 Bush street, was purely accidental. He sticks to the same baker story" he told before his arrest.
 The policemen together fired eleven times. An autopsy over the body of the dead man shows that the bullet from a 3S-caliber revolver entered the breast above the right nipple, passed through both lungs and the heart and came out beneath the left shoulder blade The man was a painter by oc- cupation, native of England and 27 years old. He lived with a half-breed negress at 512 Bush street. He was an opium fiend and had an unsavory rec ord, having been sent to the County Jail on February Is, 1892, for petit lar

He was detected with another desperate character named Cheeles Wilson in robbing the resi- dence of Mrs. Schofield, Attorney H. E. Highton's mother-in-Iaw, at 1715 Tay- Tor street. He was discharged Septem- Der {, 1897. Nelson was also one of the three men who assaulted General Barnes at an early hour on the morn ing of February 23, 1893. When arrest ed few nights later these men. includ- ing Nelson, were waiting at Jefferson square for Dr. Abrams Wilson escaped from Folsom March II, 1895. and has never been retakeh
 In Peters statement one fact is omit ted-that there was another witness to the skirmish, and the fact that the man had shot himself, Edward F. Distel, foreman of The Call zinco department D1stel was on his way home, and had reached the intersection of Green and Powell streets, when Nelson turned into Powell in the race. Peters was the foremost pursuer and ran up to Distel showing his revolver into his face, with the remark: "Who are you?"
 No matter" was the response: there goes your man. pointing to Nelson, fleeing down Powell street. Distel also ran along with the officers, and bears evidence to the truth of their statements that Nelson was around the corner when the shot rang out He was the first, besides the officers, to reach the body. Nobody else arrived on the scene for several minutes.
 That it was a suicide is further proved by the fact that the revolver of the dead burglar had three chambers emptied, two having been discharged at the officers, and evidently one at himself About six weeks ago he was found in Gus Schultz's room, at 512 Bush street, Schultz having been ar rested for burglary. At that time he was searched by Detectives Bee and

after desperate attempt to outrun Officers J. W. Capels and c. Peters, all using their revolvers freely, he shot himself, inflicting a mortal wound, rather than go to prison. The mans untimely end was as tragic as 1t was unexpected. Edward Solomon, the confederate, Is now behind the bars at the City Prison with the charge of burglary lodged against him.
 The story of the burglary and sui eide is told by Officer Peters His beat is on Montgomery avenue, from Mont gomery street to Powell. He has been on the lookout for midnight providers for some time on account of the fact that they have been pretty much in evidence at North Beach lately. He says:
 Tt was about APO a. m. when I saw a tall, heavy man who turned out to be Solomon in front of Weber's store. l crossed the street and asked him what his business was there at that time in the morning. He said he was a baker out of work and was waiting for a certain bakers wagon to pass and take him out to Ingleside. There he said he believed he could get a place. I did not think the tale true. but had no reason to make any arrest
 After searching the man and find ing nothing suspicious on his person I told him good morning and walked down the avenue looking for a place where I could hide and watch the mans actions. I met Officer Capels and Special Rodriguez and told them my suspicious. Rodriguez was in civilians garb and he walked slowly up past Solomon, it havIng been ar ranged previously that if he saw any thing suspicious he was to sound his whistle and arrest him When Rodri- guez reached the place he saw another man emerge from the rear store and

THE PERIL OF DOWNING.
Alleged Spanish Spy May Meet the
Death Penalty.
TWO CHARGES AGAINST HIM,

On Conviction on Either Charge He
May Forfeit His Life-Threatened to
"Male 1t Hot For the Entire Navyo
When Forced From the Brooklyn.
Fort Monroe, May 10.-The chief
topic of conversation here is the arrest
at Washington of Commissary Yeoman
| George A. Downing on the charge of
being a spy in the employ of the Span
| ish government. Downing came to
the Brooklyn last December, when she
lay in the navy yard at Brooklyn, and
said his residence was New York city.
He was an Englishman by birth, and
had done previous service on the
Peninsular and Oriental boats and had
also been steward on a steam yacht
owned by Phelps Carroll. He had nat
uralization papers. He was accepted
and served on board the Brooklyn until
the third week in April, when he was
notified that he was obnoxious to the
men.
He asked for his discharge, and when
Paymaster's Clerk Hancock handed it
to him 1t was indorsed mot recon-
mended for re-enlstment as commits
sary." When Downing saw this he
flew into a rage and threatened Mr..
Hancock. When he left the ship he de-
clared that he would make it hot for
the entire navy" There was some
thing more than unsatisfactory service
in Downings case which led up to
his discharge, and it is suspected that
even when on the Brooklyn he was
gathering information. 1t is believed
that even two weeks ago Downing was
suspected, although nothing definite
was known about him. The sailors
We're all against the man, and not "a
word of regret was heard today over
his arrest. In fact, the seamen openly
hint that they did not think it was un-
! expected.
Two charges are perferred against
Downing. The first is that of acting as
spy, in violation of section 1,343 of the
revised statutes. The specifications
under this charge allege that George
Downing acted as a spy, the United
States being at war with Spain, and
did obtain information in regard to the
military and naval operations of the
United States, and endeavored to COM
municate the same to person in Mon
treal, for use by the Spanish govern
ment in it's hostile operations against
the United States. The second charge
is that of giving intelligence to the
enemy.
Under the first charge the prisoner
is liable on conviction to suffer death,
while under the second his punishment
shall either be death or such other as
the court martial may direct. The
judge advocate of the court yill con-
duct the prosecution, and the prisoner
will be given permission to employ
counsel for his defense. If the sentence
is that of death, the prisoner in all
probability will be shot.
