1916 Broadway, June IS.
Police Judge George Samuels de-
cided to-day that the $1,000 so taken
from the home of Jose Ferro, S51 A
street on a search warrant secured by
David F. seIby on the suspicion tnat II
had been stolen from him by Ferro'
should be returned to the latter. HIS
Honor was unable TO determine
whether the coin found in Ferro
home was the same as that lost oy
selby.
selby, while on a trip from San
Francisco to this city on June L, be-
came separated either on the ferry
boat or train from a grip in which he
was carrying $1,000. Several clews lea
him to believe that Ferro and John
Lee, a deckhand on the steamer PED
mont, were responsible for the disap-
pearance of the grip and cash. Search
warrant proceedings were Instituted
and $500 so was discovered In Ferro's
house. which he asserted was pension
money that he was keeping for two
children. In giving his decision to-day
Judge Samueis said:
"I am satisfied from the evidence
that Selby lost what he af1irms ne DID,
I am also of the opinion that some
person is guilty of grand larceny or
embezzlement, but cannot say VINO.
The property found in Ferro's posses
sion has not been proved to be Selby's
and 1t is my duty to order the cash re-
turned to Ferro."

PUT NO LIMIT
ON SALARIES
Baseball Managers Are at
Liberty to Pay Players
Whatever They See Fit
LONG SEASON PLANNED
Seattle Opens Here, Port
land at Los Angeles
and Tacoma at Oakland

The magnates of the Pacific Coast
Baseball League continued their ses-
sion yesterday afternoon and evening.
After taking up a number of import
ant details they adjourned till s
o'clock on Monday evening. One Of
the principal points decided was the
salary limit. After a lengthy discus
sion it was agreed that no limit be
placed on the amount of money to be
paid players and that each manager
use his own judgment in this respect.
The season will open on Thursday,
March 80 and close on Sunday, Decem-
bert 3. San Francisco meets Seattle
in this city. Los Angeles will enter
tain Portland and Oakland is to hook
up with Tacoma on the Oakland
grounds. From present indications, II
looks as though there will be almost
continuous ball on the diamond across
the bay though this question has not
been definitely decided yet.
A schedule committee composed OF
Messrs. Harris, Ewing, Morley, Nc
Creedie, Evans and Agnew was ap-
pointed. The committee will start to
work on the schedule Immediately and
the matter will probably be fixed UP in
a few days. Six schedules are to be
submitted and the most likely looking
.one will be accepted. President Bert
was instructed to purchase a suitable
pennant to be presented to the Taco
ma team. 1t was also decided to di-
vide the holiday receipts in each city
equally among the six clubs Of the
league.
Morley was absent at the evening
session, but the remainder of the mag
mates got together and talked business.
The confab was devoted mostly to the
private affairs of the league and little
business Of interest to the public was
done 1t was agreed that passes be
issued only TO the press and the wives
of players. President Bert was in
structed to have a book of rules with
instructions to players and umpires
printed and properly distributed.
The magnates also voted unanimous
ly in favor of sending President Bert

leagues which will open at Cincinnati
