COCHRAN
INJURED IN
PRACTICE
Calfornia's Coach Had Two
Ribs Fractured in a
Scrirnnage.

Larry Cochran, the famous coach of
CaIfornia's victorious football team for
Two years, veteran Of four trying sea-
sons or gridiron war, is among the foot
pail injured Of 99. In the practice of YES
terday afternon preparatory to meeting
the carlisle Indians the master of pig
SKIN science, while playing on the scrub
team against the Berkeley varsity, was
1amoed to the ground under heavy inter-
ference, that caused the breaking of two
rps. The injury is a severe one and has
confined him TO his bed. He will not be
able to further coach the Berkeley eleven.
ana 1t Is doubtful If he will be permitted
10 attend the Carlisle-California game
Inc injury was the result of oyer-en-
thusiasm on the part of the coach. East
erh coaches on Western gridirons have
teaching the men the fine points of play.
ferhaps the snappy December weather
stirred the blood of Cochran to attempt
old-time deeds and to demonstrate that ne
coulu put into practice that which for two
years ne has preached with such good
erect; AT any rate on Monday afternoon.
LOT tne hrst time since the memora BILE
fale-Princeton game of 81, when Old Mas
nau''s splendid but crippled team, which
cochran captained, was beaten by a 60
score, he jumped into actual play and
tackled and ran down on punts as in
other years. Four days OF solid work has
oiled the Berkeley varsity machinery. and
yesterday the action was like that Of
thanksgiving day. 1t was smash and
Dang against the second eleven with
han, Smith and Kaarsberg under way
like pistol shots. Cochran was out at end
on the scrub. and on first eleven's style
OF attack wasn't getting enough work to
even remind him of the old Princeton
days, when Yale backs failed TO gain a
yard around him." Perhaps the fact that
1t was Cochran out there caused the
quarter TO force the play on other points
AT any rate the mighty end chafed under
inaction and dared the backs TO send the
play his way.
Give me something to do out here" he
shouted. Take a chance at an old mas
been and see how II feels" There was
a quick signal, three lightning backs at
the pride of Princeton and Berkeley
Smith, with the ball, made his distance
while Cochran went out of the play. Percy
Halls muscular effort, with 1876 pounds
back of IT, had placed the great coach
hors de combat at the bottom OF a pile,
and incidentally smashed two ribs per-
haps, IL fate would have 1t, the similar
pair to those of Captain Chet Murphy
that suffered the same injury before
Thanksgiving day. Cochran was imme-
diately observed to be In a bad plight and
was taken from the field.
The injury, at any event, is particularly
hard luck for Cochran personally, COM
ing as II does long after his active grid
iron days are passed, and to the Berkeley
perb skill and coaching spirit OF the
Princeton man was counted upon as big
element In the work OF preparing the first
California eleven 10 meet a team typical
ly Eastern and up-to-date In its strength

HOTEL MAN LOWERING
NEAR DEATHS DOOR
M. M. HARTMAN is A VICTIM OF
OPIUM POISONING.
Believed to Have Attempted to End
His Life Because Of Recent
Financial Trouble.

OAKLAND. Dec. 2.-M. NJ Hartman.
proprietor OF the Crellin Hotel, died to-
night. presumably from opium poisoning,
and II is rumored that he committed sui
eide.
Hartman was found this afternoon suf-
fering from morphine or laudanum pois-
oning in his room in the hotel. DR.. Frank
l.. Adams and DR.. Todd were called and
worked over him until midnight, when he
died. Members OF the family declare his
death was due to accidentally taking an
overdose of medicine.
Hartman's affairs have become en-
tangled in the last few months. He Is
said to have been playing the races, but
II is certain that he has been borrowing
money wherever he could and his hotel
lease finally became involved. He secured
a considerable amount Of money from J..
r. Watson, mining man, and about four
weeks ago Hartman Incorporated his In
terest in the Crellin Hotel in a company
and practically resigned Its management.
]. r. Watson took a lot of stock in the
company for the money loaned Hartman,
and Hartman turned the rest OF his stock
daughters assumed the active manage
ment of the hotel. Watson and his daugh-
ters were in harmony as to the manage
ment OF the hotel. but Hartman. who was
over 60 years of age, seemed to feel his
reverses very keenly. There was not the
slightest effort upon the part of either the
daughters or Watson to do otherwise than
help save what was left OF the old mans
fortune. He remained in the hotel and
even nominally retained the title of man.
ager.
There was some difficulty between the
new management and Mrs. Archer. a
woman who owns Don Cara and several
other horses. They demanded that Mrs
Archer should pay her board or leave the
house. She produced receipt for three
months rent In advance from Hartman
but the new hotel management declared
that there was something irregular about
II. Mrs. Archer employed ex-Judge A j..
Frick to protect her interests, and much
trouble ensued. 1t is said that these
troubles, together with his financial re-
verses, preyed upon the old mans mind
until he determined to end his life.

Do People Live ON Marsp

Some new light is now thrown on the
planet Mars by Professor Ernst HaeckeI
a genuine philosopher in the new book
World Problems" He says:
IF we assume that Mars is inhabited
we must assume that the men and women
whose home is on the planet are not such
as we, but OF far higher type. They
may resemble us eXteriorly, but they 3 70
free from our physical defects and excel
us in strength and gracefulness II ls IN
the intellectual sphere. however that their
superiority is most cleary shown. If
there. are human beings on this planet N
is extremely probable that they far cur
pass ordinary men and women in intel
ligence."
Another question often asked IS: "V,Iu
we ever he able to communicate with the
inhabitants of distant planets?" ProfessoT
Haeckers reply is that there is very IT.
tie probability Of any direct comrnunlca-
tion ever being established. His reasons
because the earth is such a great dis
tance from Mars and other planets and
because the condition OF the air between
the earth and these planets is such as 10
