WILL HAVE
ATHLETIC TRACK

The Board of Park Commissioners
yesterday decided to accept the money
collected by the members of the Ameri-
can Driving and Athletic Association,
and will begin work on the proposed
new athletic grounds in Golden Gate
Park on January 2. At the time the
grounds were projected the Commits
sioners' decided to prosecute the work
provided that the athletic association
raise $25, 600. Yesterday members of the
association were before the board and
stated that the contributions amounted
to s17,7s9 SO. with $2Ss5 promised.
w. j. Simpson, l. l.. Borden and
Frank O'Kane, who appeared for the
association, said that those who were
mainly interested in the completion of
athletic grounds were the most back
ward in contributing, and that most OF
the money came from the merchants
and business men of the city. They
complained that the $25, 900 limit set by
the commission was excessive and that
they could raise but $40, 900 at the most.
When asked if they could turn over
the 900 within a week they admit
ted that it was impossible, and Com
missioner Lloyd asked for a guarantee
before the commission proceeded with
the work. The committe was unable to
promise a guarantee, and President
Adolph SDreckels came to their relief
with a guarantee that the $4,000 would
be forthcoming. The commission then
Instructed Park Superintendent Nc
Laren to proceed with the drawing up
of the plans.
A. j. Lyon, editor of the Pacific Gold
smith, was awarded the Park News
concession for one year at $3.50 per
month. Phillips & Van Orden bid $3.50
and Owen SDnUthp S1e5 Tpr month
The question of speeding automobiles
and the exchanging of license numbers
came ~, and the police will be asked
to arrest any autoist holding a license
upon which there is no photograph.
The police have also been instructed to
keep the bicycle paths in the park free
from pedestrians.

STATE SHOULD
PRODUCE MORE
Articles Imported Could Be
Raised Here in Quanti-
ties to Supply Demand

The California Promotion Committee
has compiled statistics relating to the
imports Of articles that ought to be
produced in California in quantities
sufficient TO satisfy the home market.
and shows that in the fiscal year
the importations from other States
amounted to more than SO, 900 tons The
following summary illustrates this:
Butter an. and eggs, 7171.5 tons; poultry 1927:
pork. 2o44; lard. 1885, meat in bulk II, ,Ol2;
tallow and grease, 1872; packing house products
1858; cottolene. $50; tankage, 800; livestock
10000; total Tin tons) OF imports. 80. 55O.b
Continuing, the committee statisti-
clan says:
same period were only ia tons, OF which there
were IL tons OF butter 20 tons Of packing
house products. 13 tons OF lard and the re-
maindcr being livestock. The figures given
are conservative. In all where ship
ments have been made in carload lots, the
minimum carrying capacity for the different
invoices have been taken II the average had
been taken these figures would show up bigger
than they do. but for the sake OF over stating
the lowest possible estimate Is given in every
case. The amount of poultry imported into
the State during the fiscal year ending June
believed by the committee that for the year
1904 almost 10 coo. 900 pounds of poultry will
have been brought from Eastern States
California pays millions of dollars to the
East for these products. Were the imports
enumerated in the table given to be estimated
as low as ten cents per pound they would have
valuation Of $11, 100, but butter, eggs
and poultry. as we'll most of the other
products enumerated are not to be shipped
here TO take the place of California products
al these figures. as anyone who raises poultry
knows. The committee believes that the
amount of money sent out of the State each
year for products which could be raised on
the small farm reaches far up into the mil
lions. Besides the articles given in the COM
mittees tables thousands Of tons of vege-
tables of every kind are brought into California
every year. All these articles can be raised
here not only to supply Californians. but to
supply the markets OF the world The supply
OF POULTRY products in most localities through
out the State is nearly equal to the de-
mand and this is brought out practically by
the products herein enumerated.

PROPOSE CAME
LAW MOVEMENT
Sportsmen Agitate Framing
Measure to Protect Wild
Ducks, Deer and Trout

Twelve prominent sporting clubs Of
the State were represented at the meet
ing held last evening at the rooms Of
the Rod and Gun Association, Mills
building, to outline a plan OF action for
the fostering Of the interests of sports
men Of the State and for framing laws
to be presented at the next legislative
session for the protection of game.
The clubs represented by delegates or
by proxies were the Petaluma Sports
mems Association, the FL Toro Club,
the Park Home Club, the Green Valley
Club. the Cordelia Club, the Ibis Club,
the San Francisco Striped Bass Club,
the Empire Club, the Colusa Club, the
Field and Tule Club and the Point
Reyes Sportsmen's Club.
On the 18th OF last month the asso-
ciated clubs met in convention at Visa
liza for the purpose of discussing pro-
posed game laws. The bill framed on
that occasion was taken as a text for
discussion last night and was read in
sections by Chairman Frank z. Bell,
and each of these amended by rec
ommendation" or allowed to stand as
adopted by the Visalia convention. The
laws to be advocated and worked for at
Sacramento by the sportsmen of the
State will be in brief as follows:
That the duck season remain as at
present; that the limit Of a bag shall
be fifty ducks the man; that the sale
of game shall be prohibited; that there
shall be penalty for offense that shall
apply equally with every duck in bag
over the limit-that Is, If a hunter has
ten birds over the bag he can be pun
ished on ten separate. charges; that the
open deer season shall be from the 18th
of July to the 18th of October; that the
shoot limit for deer shall be two bucks
the season; that tree squirrels shall be-
protected at all times; that all sports
cense, paying 81 per season month for
same; that the law governing the
catching of striped bass shall remain
as it is; that the trout limit shall be
fifty fish, twenty-pound mess and
limit to three pound fish; that the sale
of steelhead salmon shall be prohib-
tied; that the catching of trout be-
tween the hours of 8 D. m. and a. m.
shall be prohibited.
The money raised by licensing sports
men and market hunters is to be used
in the enforcing of the fish and game
laws. A committee will probably be
sent to Sacransento to work in the in
terest of the DtoDosed laws, and the
clubs themselves will set aside funds
to help in the work. The clubs
in all parts of the State will be asked
to assist in promoting the bill or bills
to be introduced and to lend their po-
Iitical and business influence TO bring
about results.

Still Consider Roof Repair Law.

The Supervisors joint Fire and Ju-
dietary Committee again considered
the proposed ordinance requiring
roofs to be repaired with fireproof
material within certain limits. The
matter was discussed by insurance
men, shingle dealers and Chief Sulli-
van of the Fire Department, who said
that similar ordinance had been
passed by the Supervisors some years
ago, but had been vetoed by the
Mayor. The committee decided to
defer the matter until next Friday at
8 m, when the Mayor will be in
vited to take part in the debate.

News.

London, March 3O.-Deta1ls OF
the battle of Chong Ju, Corea,
which occurred Monday, have been
received here and show that the
Japanese were victorious in not only
offsetting the Russian attack, but in
causing the latter to retire with Sc
we're loss.
Two accounts of the battle are
given out but they differ only az to
the number of casualties.
According to the dispatches re-.
.ceived at the Russian and Japan
ese legations it appears that the
Russian Cossacks under General
Mishhtchenko had endeavored for
there consecutive days to draw the
Japanese outpost forces into battle,
but without success.
On March 81 Sunday it became
known that a large japanese force
was in the vicinity of Ghong Ju and
six companies of Cossacks were led
there for the purpose of attack. On
the approach of the Russian forces
the japanese retreated into the town
and began firing on the party from
behind the walls with such effect
that the Russians retreated to a hill
and continued firing upon the town
thus preventing the Japanese from
leaving their HOUSES.
About this time three troops of
Japanese cavalry were seen advanc-
ing at full gallop on the Kasan
road and. although attacked, two
troops were able to enter the town,
bnt the third was thrown into dis
order by the fierce fire of the Rus
slams. This troop retreated back
upon the road and soon afterward
four companies of infantry were
seen approaching from the same di'
rection.
General Mishtchenko called t.
his troops to mount and a retreat
was ordered to a point behind the
hill. The wounded were carried ir
| front.
Inc Japanese ln1antrymen con
tinued to hasten the Russian retreat
which was made in good order to
ward Moo San, which place wal
reached at 4 p. N. the same after
noon.
4 The Russians report three Cos
sacks killed and three officers seri
ously wounded, Stepanoff, Androoi
and Vasselvitch. The former has
since died.
The Japanese report Lieutenan
!, Kanoa and four soldiers killed, ant
Captain Kuron and II soldiers in
jure9. There were no casualties
reported among tbs infantry.
1t is believed by the foreign of
fcers here that more losses occurre,
