BRUTAL TREATMENT OF HORSES
Shocking Condition of the Livestock
of Gray Bros, Contractors.

The officers of the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals have
caused the arrest of Frank Marshall and
John White, driver and stable foreman
for Gray Bros, contractors, for being
cruel to the horses under their care
Early in the morning a number of COM
plants were received from people living
near Bay street and Montgomery avenue,
which were to the effect that Gray Bros
were using horses to pull heavy loads up
the hill that were hardly able to keep
their feet under them, let alone doing
any kind of work. Secretary Hol-
brook and officer McCurry went to the
place and found the drivers whacking
along with a pair of old skates that were
afflicted with about all of the Ills to
which horsefesh is heir.
Mr.. Holbrook recognized the pitiful con-
dition of the animals, but before proceed
ing he summoned Veterinary Surgeons
Drs. Jacobsen and Masoero, who stated
that the two horses were over twenty
years old and should be killed because of
their shocking condition. This was done

Immoral.
MINIMUM FINE IS IMPOSED
WARNED TO BE MORE CAREFUL
IN THE FUTURE.

The fight for decency made by The Call
against the exhibition of indecent pic
lures in monograph parlors has met with
another victory Peter Bacigalupi, pro-
prietor of parlors on Market street, hav-
ing been convicted and fined by Acting
Police Judge Barry yesterday morning.
When the case was called Attorney
Waldheimer for the defendant, asked the
privilege of introducing further expert
testimony as to the pictures to show that
they were not immoral
Prosecuting Attorney Carpenter said he
had subpenaed Revs. w. l. Kip, John
Hemphill Jacob Voorsanger and Father
Mulligan could not be found, and the
Judge had excused the other two rev.
erend gentlemen from attendance. He
objected TO further expert testimony be-
ing introduced for the defendant, as they
had had enough Of that with Saloon
keeper Dunno and he thought the Judge
was quite capable of deciding whether the
pictures were immoral or not
The Judge said he believed that the pic
lures We're suggestively immoral, and as
to the plea that they were works of art,
had testified that any child on deposit
ing nickel e eould see the pictures in

also find the defendant guilty. He asked
would the defendant receive his sentence
now.

that l want to give you an opportunity

Attorney Waldheimer remarked that it
was a case of justice going it blind, and
the Judge retorted that justice had not
been blind in this case.
Bacigalupi had not the $40 to pay the
fine. and Prosecuting Attorney Carpenter
ordered that he be sent to prison till the
fine was paid. There was an indignant pro-
test from Bacigalupi and his attorney,
but Carpenter said he did not intend to
make any exception in Bacigalupi's case
Some friends of Bacigalupi put up the $40,
and he was saved from the indlgnIty of
being taken to prison.

SECRETARY GREEN ON
RACE TRACK FINANCES
TELLS OF sToCKHoLDER5 AND
OF RUNNING EXPENSES.
Police Did Not Interfere With Any
thing at Ingleside Track But
the Betting.

The case instituted by the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club against Chief of Police Lees
and his men to restrain them from enter
ing the grounds at Ingleside and interfer-
ing with the betting on races was con-
tinued before Judge Murasky yesterday
Captain ]. j. Callunden, of Morse's pa
troll, was cross-examined by Attorney
Hosmer for the defense. He affirmed he
noticed the raids had resulted in a dimin-
ished attendance, and that the police
showed and intimidated patrons of the
track.
w. r. Vice, an attache of the Union Pa
cifc Railway, testified that after the raids
he ceased taking tourists to the track,
being afraid of arrest.
II. Mering testified to the same effect
Secretary F. H Green was questioned
chiefly on finances. He told of contracts
unfulfilled, and of the fifty employees
whose monthly wage amounted to SS0OO
He testified that the Jockey Cluo was
capitalized at $500 900.
The witness was questioned at consid-
cradle length during the afternoon session
by Attorney Hosmer as to interference on
the part of the police with anything at
Ingleside track except the betting. Ac-
cording to his testimony the races would
have continued. The bar, the restaurant,
the candy shop, could all have continued
in business if those in authority so de-
sired The police paid no heed to them,
devoting all their attention to the betting
ring Mr.. Green said the raid of the po-
lice on March Il had deferred people from
Visiting the track. The majority Of those
in attendance were there to bet, and sup
pressing betting had the effect of keeping
them away. When the police arrived at
the grounds the people left the betting
ring, and many of them left the grounds
Mr.. Green, in reply to question from
Judge Murasky, said he had advised peo-
pie not to bet, as he did not want them
to violate the law. He said the club is
not interested in pool-selling nor suffering
any to be sold while the present ordi-
nance Is in effect. The directors have had
no meeting since this trouble commenced.
but he knew their sentiments. He has en-
tire management of affairs, subject to SUI
pervision of the directors.
Attorneys Ach and Hosmer had several
collisions, finally drawing from Judge Mu-
rasky the admonition not to be so fussy
in their trial of the case. The matter
goes on this morning at 10 o'clock.

 Previous Years.

TT01ARIS is to see some lovely jackets
 this fall. Indeed it is to be q A season of jackets, and theHobby little affairs will to a great extent re place the capes and maRtels of spring. The taiiors and dressmakers say that there is q wonderful demand for this class Of fall wrap, and if is doubtful if all tbe orders can be filled. Like the fall costumes the American women who have placed orders in Paris seem 10 have the best of the situation, and in all probability will experience but little difficulty in securing the jackets which they have ordered in time for wear during the time they are appro- priate. In fact some of these have al- ready been finished and are now either on their way across the Atlantic CT have arrived in the states, and others will soon follow them. But the Paris woman will have to wait yet little longer for her jacket, and like her dresses she will have a great variety of. them.
 In these jackets there is a great Va riety of styles and materials, but in one

and mantles are the correct things for fall wear. The colors for early fall and even winter wear are to be very light, the shades yerging on white take the lead, The delicate grays and drabs, and also the buffs are almost colorless, so pale are they.
 A smart jacket that was shown me was of gray cloth lined with a pale green and pink broeade. The collar and rcvers are made of white moire silk, and they are handsomely braided with cream and gold braid. Eightreal silver buttons, with a silk cord for loops.
 X smart tailor-made jacket of auto- mobile red-faced cloth was made with large turnover collar and reyers. This jacket is double-breasted, and fastens with white pearl buttons in clusters of three down the front.
 Another pretty jacket is in blue caced cloth, with an applique of white silk braid on the large collar, square re1ers and around the pointed front. The plain sleeve has a white applique braid to finish al the bottom.
 X chic coat of black glaee silk is lined with a brocade silk in yellow, and hand- somely embroidered around the reveTs. and fae high Aiediei collar, also down the dorIl breasted front and sleeves in eoldenvod and green leaves. It has six yellosv glass buttons down the front.

thing at least they are alike, that is the length, for they are all very short and tight fitting. Of the new effects are also numerous as well as broad straps, both of braid and self-materials, scalIops zig-zagged, curved and eross-barred, and in fact of every conceivable way. The very short jacket has a high Medieieoi= lar that suggests the Parisian chic, and they are heavily embroidered
 The eolors shown are grays, blues, dark and royal, automobile red and garnet. The black jackets will be much worn, but the tan shades will be mostly used for children. The sleeves to the new jackets are absolutely plain like a mans coat sleeve, with a very slight fullness at the shoulder, and sealloped, and pointed finish at the hand.
 As for wraps anything in the medium length is fas, disappearing. The short jackets and the extremely long wraps

 There are many fashionable novelties being shown not only for outdoor gar meuts, but for gowns and suits.

The checks and stripes of former seasons in silks of all kinds are fast going ont and being replaced by perfectly plain eolors.
 Nelvets will again be very much worn for entire gowns, and bodfces, borders, bands, aPPliques and fafies of fancy empire effects in the form of ribbons or other ideas will be used with the coiored silks rather than hrocades or fancy ef= fleets in silks And at this moment the impress of the ParisiaH circles is the empire, which is the fHl6llment of one of the prophecies made in the early

Ac- cept the conditions, if you are sports men, and play to decide who is really the best billiardist."
 If such a state of affairs comes to pass in the billiard world, there must be no academy phase to the situation. The public has passed it's opinion upon the prostitution of the gentIemen's game for a mere gambling venture as exem- plified in the "aeademies9 If 1t be sport for men like Schaefer, Carter, Sutton, Cation, Jevne, Capron. Mag gioli, Gallagher, etc, to play contests for percentage of the amount of money wagered on the various games by the patrons of the academies" then no further criticism should obtain. The venture, it is certain, affords the billiardists q good livelihood. Despite the fact that the contestants play with as much ambition, energy and hope of success as if they were contesting be- fore thousands in some big hall, the pa- irons of billiards remain skeptical on account of the gambling features.
 Tom" Foley, the veteran who taught his son-in-law, George Slosson, all he knows of the game, is just little short of being the oldest roomkeeper in the United States, in point of continuous application to billiards. MT. Foley is one of the old school He and John Greahan are regarded as the undisputa- ble authorities on the archives of the game. Their memories carry them back to the days when four balls were useG and the tools and tables were far fsosR being the finished articles they are to-day. It has been said of Veteran Foley that, in his 45 years experience in billiards, he has given more tourna- ments and has been personally respon- sible for more local interest in the game than any other roomkeeper. He has what the experts call an ''intuitive" knowledge of the necessary plays. Furthermore, it appears easy for him to impart the knowledge 10 beginners.
 Here is the fourth ball of the first set of composition billiard balls ever sent to Chicago" remarked Afr Foley, as he carefully drew out of his safe a sphere that lacked both the weight and life" of the ordinary ivory ball. T do not know what has become of two othef balls, but l remember with vivid ness the fate of the other ball. It was
