MURPHY BOLTS.

llSlleu q puc>F" A
states that he will refuse to sup
port Governor Davis in the COM
inc election and will vote fer Har-
~ H. Myers, the republican nomi"
nee for governor, Col. Murphy
also states that he will return
from Canada, where he is SPEND
ing the SUMNER, and meet any
democrat on the stump who denies
the charges he makes against the
governor or who maintains that
the nomination of Gov. Davis
binds democrats to vote for him.
In his letter Attorney General
Murphy gives the reasons whlch
have led him to make this de-
aision, and declares that IN dong
so he is carrying out his con-
yictions of duty, regardless of the
effect it may have upon him, in
dividually and politically.
Col. Murphy and Gov, DAVIS
are the bitteFest personal ene-
mics. and have been for the past
two or three years, and the at
torney generals action in re[us-
ing to support the governor comes
as no surprise to those who un-
derstand the intense feeling ex-
isting between the two. The con-
dition is to be regretted by dem
ocrats all over the state, as Col.
Murphy's position, while 1t Will
not have the effect of defeating
Coy. Davis, will undoubtedly
weaken the ticket.
The Record is not going to
criticise Col. Murphy for the at
titude he has taken. II, as he
gays, he is following the dictates
of his own conscience, no man
can afford to malign him for his
action. 20 be a patriot in the
exercise Of the ballot is the duty
of every citizen, but we cannot
reconcile ourself to the fact that
Col. Murphy is performing SER
vice TO his country when he re-
fuses to vote for Gov. Davis and
lends his aid to the opposition n
If Gov. Davis record is as black
as Col. Murphy says,-and it Is
not as pure rs the driven snow
Ly any means,-it is no blacker
than the record of the republican
party in Arkansas and in the ma
ton. Myers is the representative
and exponent of every principle
of republicanism. he stands pat
on every assertion of the repub-
lican platform, and some of those
assertions are odious to the south
in every sense of the word. 10
be just, men must admit that
Harry Myers is a brilliant man,
and to vote for him would be no
bitter pill at all were he support
ing correct principles. A vote
for Harry Myers now is a vote
for the principles of republican
ism, some of which are not near sc
respectable in general or particu-
lar as Harry is in person. The
party which at its national con-
yention parades an innocent little
white girl and kinky-headec
descendant of Ham across the
stage arm in arm and cheers tc
the echo, must not expect much
from Dixieland, be it said to the
credit of Dixie. This is no bug
aboo or scarecrow. 1t is a ser
! ious proposition, and only shows
moro plainly the trend of repub'
T. lican sentiment and ideas. Mr.
! Roosevelt's notions of the negro
question and his actions in deal.
;; ing with it are revolving and ex-
tremely hauseatlng. Harry
Myers is a representative Of this
Rooseveltism. If he does not on.

WILL AUSTION SEATS
FOR "HIS ROYAL NIBS'
Harrison TO BE WieIders of Ham,
mer for Hospital Fund.

An auction is to be held tomorrow
evening at the AIhambra Theater
commencing at $50 o'clock at which
the boxes for the forthcoming produc-
ton of His Royal Nibs'' will be dis
posed of. Ex-Mayor James d. Phelan
and William Greer Harrison will
WELD the hammer and during the
progress of the sale there will be sew
eral interludes, during which an en-
tertaining vaudeville and concert pro-
gramme will be rendered by such art
lists as Arthur Bodeley Watson, Arthur
L. FORBADE, Isabel FORBADE and several
Of the principal members of the cast
Of His Royal Nibs''
The public is invited to attend the
auction, at which it is expected the
boxes will be disposed of at a high
premium, as the proceeds are to go to
the California Women's Hospital, an
institution that is well worthy of the
interest displayed in it by local phil
anthropists.
His Royal Nibs" is musical COM
edy by Shafter Howard and w. III.
Clifford and its production will be on
scale Of magnif1cence and elaborate
ness that has seldom before been at
tempted in this city. The music is of
a high order, while the book and Tyr
les are topical and clever and abound
in satirical hits.
The cast and chorus number sew
enty people, with Miss Helen Heath,
the well known soprano, in the lead
ing -ole. One OF the most attractive
feat res in His Royal Nibs' is the
r1Iyl nor ssTha Summer Civl - sur-- II,
double sextet gowned in the latest
fashion. The gowns were designed
especially for this production and the
millinery worn by the ladies forming
the sextet is very dainty and chic.

Treasurer Frank G. O'Kane announced
yesterday that more than $4,000 had

SEARCH FOR REDDING
ROBBERS is ABANDONED
tectives Return to City After
Fruitless Hunt.

c. c. Crowley, chief of the detec-
tive service of the Southern Pacific
Company, accompanied by the oper-
ators of his department and Detective
Thatcher of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S ex-
press, returned last night from Red
ding, where they have been diligently
searching for the men who held up
the southbound Oregon express train
two weeks ago and dynamited the ex-
press car, after killing the messenger.
Although Crowley displayed reluc-
tance in discussing the matter, it was
learned that he had abandoned the
search, but not until after every
thread of information that tended to
lead to the identity of the robbers had
been carefully followed up and proved
fruitless 1t was admitted last night
by Crowley that he and his men had
traced footprints from the scene Of
the robbery to the banks of the river,
where the trail was lost, and had sat
isfled themselves that these tracks
were those of the robbers. Thatcher
had CLEANED sufficient information to
arouse his suspicion that a man
named Lewis, who is wanted for many
robberies, was implicated in the af-
fair, and there is also reason, so he
believes, for suspecting that some of
the escapes from Folsom had some
thing to do with it. The search last
ed twelve days and clearly satisfied
the detectives that the robbers were
clever fellows, who carefully planned
the job and shrewdly arranged in ad-
vance for covering up their tracks.

SEATTLE STARS
USE BATS WELL
I'm the Third Inning Each
and Every Man on Team
Takes a Crack at the Ball
SEVEN RUNS COME IN
Lead Is Too Much for Oak
landers to Overcome and
They Lose All Interest

The baseball game would have been
a sublime one for Oakland yesterday
had the third inning been obliterated.
The third was not Obliterated. though
the Oakland team was all but so when
the round was over. Seattle whirred
seven over the path. The rest OF the
game did not count II was the thlro
inning. Score. 10 TO s.
Such a walloping as the luckless
Mr.. Buchanan was handed does not
occur on the same diamond more than
once IN a week Nearly every run Of
those seven that came in during the
third was aided and abetted by a solid
base hit IT was as pretty piece OF
slugging as any fan would want TO
feast his eyes upon.
The inning started with Mohler at
the bat. His ribs came in violent con-
tact with the sphere and he wobbled
down TO first. Smith connected safe
", as likewise did Frisk. sending Moh-
ler IN. When Hall drove one through
the infeld both Smith and Frisk trot-
ted TO the plate. Brashear then hit
and Delehanty hit and Wilson hit and
Barber hit and Van Haltren hit and
possibly they might have been hitting
yet had they not become fatigued by
running around the bases.
All the runs and hits happened just
because the Oakland infield played in
close TO catch man as he dashed TO
the plate. The Seattle stickers SEEM
ed 10 become wise 10 this fact and
therefore they pegged the ball down
hard fl7ro1rvh the sufeld The vollev
OF hits seemed everlasting and oak
land never rallied a bit after the fatal
third round.
Barber pitched a good game Of ball
and kept the hits scattered well
enough. The game was one Of the
slow Oakland kind and was the last

grounds. Next Sunday morning the
