DINNER CAUSES PAIN.
Indisereet Friends of Assembly,
man Carroll Have Placed
Him in a Delicate
Position.

The proposition to give Assemblyman
Timothy j. Carroll complimentary din
ner at Taylor's Hotel next Tuesday even
ing is causing extensive comment in DEM
ocratic circles. Many of the gentlemen
who have been invited and who are warm
friends of the Assel.l blyman do not hesi-
tate to say that it is an i'll advised DEM
onstration just at this time. Had the din
ner been given at the close of the session
it is not likely any fault would have been
found, but to have it now, while affairs
are in somewhat of muddled state, has
stirred up criticism on all sides.
Mr.. Carroll was not consulted by the
gentlemen, who arranged the dinner. Had
he been he would have inserposed vigor-
Gus objections and insisted upon the post
ponement of the affair. AS the matter
stands, however, he is in no way responr
sible He is, so to speak, the victim of
his friends. 1t is not impossible that, even
now, the dinner may, at his request, be
postponed until the close of the session.
When the dinner was first spoken of it
was proposed to have about thirty friends
of the Assemblyman meet him at Tay-
lor's Hotel. A dinner to have cost about
50 plate was arranged. 1t was to be the
simplest kind of a private affair. Mr.
John D. German, however, whom it is
unnecessary to introduce to the public,
assumed the head of the movement. He
was promptly assisted by Mr.. Michael J.
O'Mara Ex-Street and Water Commits
sioner John F. Madden was then enticed
into the movement When Mr. German
suggested that the dinner be made a
"rouser," that S. ticket be charged and
that a couple of hundred men be invited,
his associates were carried away by his
persuasions and acquiesced Invitations
were sent to nearly all the city officials
and everything sailed along smoothly un-
til friends of Mr.. Carroll, who is a trifie
higher in the political world than either
Mr.. German or Mr. O'Mara, protested.
They uged the Assemblyman to prevent
the dinner if possible. Mr.. Carroll, how
ever, found himself in the delicate posi-
tion of having to call the dinner off after
having reluctantly agreed to allow it to
proceed. 1t pleased him to have his
friends think of him, but he had no idea
II was intended to make the affair great
gathering of politicians.
Mr. Carroll declines to discuss the sub
ject further than to say that the whole
thing has placed him in a very embar-
RAISING position. He has large circle of
warm friends, who would work day and
night for him. but they consider that the
dinner proposition displays bad political
judgment. Many fear that if carried out
it will have a directly opposite effect from
what was anticipated and desired by the
prime movers.

The authorities quoted by ex-Judge
Noonan for the contention that these
publications constitute a contempt of
Court all declare the law to be that any
publication in newspaper concerning a
cause pending in Court, which tends TO
prejudice a fair trial of that cause, or
which reflects upon the Judges, the par
ties the counsel, or the witnesses, is
high contempt of Court.
Ex-Judge Noonan's brief concludes with
this statement:-sI submit that while the
liberty of the press is sacred, yet that
the rights of these defendants, Messrs.
Noonan and Simpson, to a fair trial by
an impartial jury is just as sacred.
while it may be of moment that news
leges to legitimately comment upon or
criticise the case of the prosecution
against alleged offenders, yet it is of far
greater Importance that public prosecu-
tions of accused parties be conducted ac-
cording TO those rules of law whose
wisdom and justice have been sanctioned
and sanetified by generations of expert
ence and appreciation. absolutely free
from any interference whatever on the
part of the public press which may tend
to prejudice the public against falr
trial of the accused by an impartial jury
The preservation inviolate of this legal
rule of sound Judgment and common
justice is necessary to the maintenance
of any government based upon the con-
sent of the governed, is essential to the
preservation of society, and the protec-
tion of individual rights, and is indls-
pensable to the vindication of the law.

In this event, and the ring was flooded
with Gauntlet and Horton money The
former colt opened an even money favor
lite, but the stable did not fancy him to
any great extent, and his odds receded
in the betting. Horton, with Nash Tur-
ner up, was backed down from threes to
TO 5. The race was a peculiarly run one
Gauntlet was in front to the stretch.
Around the far turn there was consider
able crowding and humping, Horton and
Casdale faring badly. Once started for

up and, at the weights, he showed to be
best, for he rapidly strobe to the front,
beating Limewater, with Spencer in the
saddle, length in lila. The favorite ran
poorly after being interfered with, and

Aside from this slight mishap, the first
choices tramped Ger a bed of roses. The

The best performance of the afternoon
was that of La Goleta, winner of the mile

NEGOTIATIONS PENDING FOR A
MEETING BETWEEN THIN.
The Match Between the Southern Cal
ifornia heavyweight and Joe
Kennedy of This City.
Hangs Fire,

Jim Corbett's next appearance in the
ring will probably be in this city, and
his opponent will be big Jim Jeffries, the
hard hitting Southron, unless all signs
fail
Billy Delaney, acting for Jeffries, has
tacitly agreed to the match, with the pro-
viso that his hard hitting pupil must first
carry out his engagement with Joe Ken
nedy. This latter is still in the air
however. and may not be brought off. The
first setback 1t received was on Friday
at the hands of the Health and Police
Committee of the Supervisors. A permit
was asked for but was refused on the
ground that the application was vague
many required details being omitted The
club will have another inning tomorrow
when the matter will come up at the reg
ular meeting of the board and will be set
tied once and for all
Friends of Delaney have advised him to
give up all iuea of the meeting with Ken
nedy and to devote his attention to the
matching of Corbett and his protege
They have pointed out to him that in
such match lie glory and money, espe-
cially If arranged before interest in the
game commences to wane because of toe
many matches. 1t has been pointed out
that three bouts in the last week of this
month is rather pressing the limit.
No offer has as yet been made for the
match, but it is understood that both the
Olympic and the National Club would not
be averse to handling it. Delaney is
known to be kindly disposed to the Olym-
plans, while Corbett is thought to lean
toward the National.
Corbett is apparently anxious to retrieve
the reputation he lost owing to the I'M
satisfactory ending of his bout with Shar-
key in New York. IF all the men in the
heavy weight division Jeffries seems most
anxious to fight, hence the overtureS for
meeting with him.

BELMONT AND LOWELL
PLAY TIE FOOTBALL
THE ACADEMIC CHAMPIONSHIP
STILL UNDECIDED.
High School Students Play Hard
Ball-Several Injuries Which
Protract the Game.

The Belmont and Lowell High Schools
elevens fought out an undecided football
game yesterday morning on the Recrea-
ton Park gridiron, each team scoring a
single touchdown from which no goal was
kicked. In anticipation of hot game the
supporters of each school eleven locked
to the grounds and the grand stand was
packed with gaily decked femininity, the
youth of the other sex ornamenting the
fence along the side lines and the field
itself. The Belmont band plumed for the
occasion, shattered the atmosphere peri
odically to the intense enjoyment of all
concerned The colors of both teams are
the same, red and white, which led to con-
fusion. but Forrest Fisher and Chester
field Murphy of Stanford, the officials,
were equal to the demands made upon
their discriminating faculties and no mis-
takes in penalizing were made.
The game was closely fought with per-
haps a shade the best of it for Belmont.
Both touchdowns were made in the first
half. The Santa Clara County athletes,
outweighing their opponents by many
pounds, found the weakness of the San
Francisco shortly after the signal for the
beginning of the match, and Roberts, the
fuliback, made touchdown on faxed
kick, after the center of Lowell had been
hammered for a clear gain of forty yards.
The ball then oscillated from one side of
the field to the other when Lowell, with
but few minutes left in the first half,
began to work together and Hooper was
forced over the line for touchdown. The
score stood 5-5.
The second half was first a plunge then
a delay on account of accidents, until the
close of the match. Belmont's superiority
in weight told and behind good Interior
ence Seton made some lightning runs for
distances which kept the youths ON the
sides lines figuring throughout the game.
The work on the line was fierce enough to
suit even Pete Smith who bestowed his
advice even when unasked. Three times
the Belmont team worked its way down to
the Lowell Vineyard line and so many
times did they fail at scoring, being held
twice on downs and losing the ball once on
