San Quentin.
William Buckley has been sentenced
to be hanged at San Quentin on Oc-
tober for shooting and killing
George w. Rice, a non-union ma
chinist, at Twentieth and Howard
streets on October IL, 1901. Yester-
day Attorney Frank J. Murphy ap-
peared before Judge Lawlor and said
he confidently expected that Governor
Pardee would grant Buckley a re-
prieve of ninety days. He therefore
asked that the Judge make an order
retaining Buckley in the County Jail
till definite information was received
from the Governor. The Judge said
he would decline to interfere in the
matter and would allow the law to
take it's course.
Thomas Moran. Charles Donnolly
and Edward Duncan were also tried
for Rice's murder. Moran was con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and the penalty fixed at Imprisonment
for life. Donnolly and Duncan were
each convicted of murder in the Sec
ond degree Donnolly was sentenced

HEAVY RAINFALL SPOILS
DUCK SHOOTING PROSPECTS
Birds Have Been Unusually Plentiful
and SpOrtsmen Expected Great
Opening Day.

The patter of the raindrops during
the past fOrty-eight hours has sounded
like a dirge in the ears of the sports
men who maintain extensive preserves
for duck shooting. For months past
they have been batting their irish
water ponds with grain and the mill
lions of ducks have been waxing
fat on it. With the coming of the
rain it is expected the birds will scat
ter to all points of the compass and
will turn up their aristOcratic bills at
the artificial feed of the ponds and
will seek the wild celery and other
delicacies upon which they prefer to
feed.
The Empire and other clubs have
spared no expense on their preserves
this year and counted on grand sport
on opening day How much the storm
will affect the early shooting remains
to be seen.

BOSTON BAKERS STRIKE.
Massachusetts, Convention Did Not
Order a General Strike.

BOSTON. May 9.-Contrary to what
had been deemed probable a general
strike of all the union bakers in New
England was not ordered at the con
vention of the Massachusetts state
branch of the bakery and confection-
cry workers held here.
The sentiment of the convention
seemed to be opposed to drastic action
ut this time. The matter Of ordering
Il general strike in order to prevent
firms outside of Boston from supply
ing goods to those bakeries in this city
against which a strike has been de-
clared was left to the executive com
mittee of the Massachusetts state
branch.
Resolutions expressing sympathy
with the striking bakers in Boston
and vicinity and guaranteeing them
support were adopted.

MI. James X. Hackett begins an en-
gagement at Days theatre this evening,
Saturday, April 30th, In his new semi
satirical romantic fantasy, 1.-THE Grown
Prince a play in which he has already
scored a most emphatic success. Last
February during the course of his regu-
lar tour Mr.. Hackett played this piece
for one week a5 the West End Theatre,
Harlem, and drew larger receipts bv
several hundred dollars than has ever Ne
fore passed the West Ena Theatre box
office. With this substantial evidence
Of the success of 1.-THE Crown Prince
before them, many managers have made
him Inducements to bring 1t to Broad
way, but although this was what Mr..
Hackett most earnestly desired to do his
keen sense of honor forbade his csncelling
out of town contracts made before the
success of the play had been known.
Consequently he has been for two months
engaged In fulfilling these contracts, but
last week a fortunate combination of
circu instances enabled him to honorably
cancel the remainder and he therefore is
enabled to come to Days for the re-
mainder of the season.
1.-THE Crown Prince" is not meant to
be taken rs anything but a keen, witty,
satire with a plot and situations which
enable Mr.. Hackett to fight duels, make
love and generally show himself In the
best Of the characterizations which have
made him famous and which altogether
make THE Crown Prince" a most de-
lighif0l evenings entertainment. George
II. Broadhurst, the author, has written
with a flowing humor a delicious wit
and a keen satire, at times, which to-
gether with the more serious moments OF
the play makes 1t one of the greatest
novelties the stage has ever known. He
has taken no set pattern he has cut his
own pattern and it fits Mr.. Hackett bet
ter than anything he has ever had before.

many members of the theatrical pro.
fession were present and took part IL
the exercises. A. NJ. Palmer, president
of the fund and one of the founders of
the home, presided.
Heinrich Conried, manager of the
Metropolitan Opera House, in an adj
dress submitted a plan to provide a
settled income for the actors fund suf-
ficient to allow it to meet all calls that
may be made OF it.
1t has been learned, Mr.. Conried said,
that the theater and concert hall man
ayers in t,.is country give out an aver
age of ten free seat tickets each night
during a season averaging a hundred
nights.
ITO provide us the revenue re-
quired," he said, "it would only be
necessary for the managers of the
5000 American theaters and concert
halls to impose a charge or tax of 10
cents on each free seat ticket which
they give out and to pay over the re-
sulting dollar every night to the actors
fund"
