BETTORS SCORE HEAVILY
ON JIM BEATTIE'S VICTORY
Colt Is Backed Down From 100 to 10
to 1 and Then Defeats the Keene
Crack Rlucher.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-By the VIC
tory of Jim Beattie in the last race
at Brighton to-day a small body OF
men punished the bookies to the ex-
tent of about $4,000. The colt had
only started in one race previous to
this and was quoted at 100 to l.
Dick Brown, c. A. Slumck and
few friends quietly backed him down
to 10 to /.
Hardly had the barrier been re-
leased before the boy in blue and
white" was seen to be tearing his way
to the front of his field. Blucher, the
favorite, was just behind him. The
speed displayed by Jim Beattie was
phenomenal. He ran the first half
mile faster than the distance was
covered in any race of the day.
Jockey Crimmins steered jim Beat
tie we'll out from the rail on turning
into the stretch. Wide as he went,
however. Hildebrand took Blucher
wider. Suddenly Hildebrand was seen
to be whipping Blucher on the side of
the head, as though the colt had at
tempted to run out" Blucher then
refused to extend himself. His anger
ed jockey continued to punish him,
but by this time the winning post was
reached by the leader, Jim Beattie,
and the race was over.

nominated at Santa Cruz. exacted a
promise that a labor candidate should
be put In the field to divide the labor
vote. The speaker insinuated that
conspiracy had been Matched and that
the conspirators were seeking to put in
the field a candidate to oppose William
]. Wynn and thus bring about the elec-
ton of E. A. Hayes.
O'Brien's voice failed in denunciation
of the conspiracy and 1T was quite
weak when he named w. ]. Wynn for
Congress. Another delegate from Santa
Clara praised Wynn.
William p. Delaney Of San Francisco,
holding a proxy from San Mateo, at
tempted to speak but was challenged
by J. N Copus. who asserted that De-
laney was a delegate to the Fourth
District convention. A tumult fol-
lowed. Delaney was ruled out OF or
der by the chair, but refused to sub
side. A call was made for the sergeant
at arms. Finally Delaney sat down.
Chairman Deaver next took the floor
and made a warm seconding speech for
Williams. whom he said he had known
both in public and private life to be
true to the principles of his party. He
was opposed to indorSing any one. A
motion by Goldsmith of San Mateo that
delegates holding proxies be seated was
voted down uproariousiy.
The roll was then called by districts.
resulting in a vote of 70 for Williams
and % for Wynn The chair was en-
powered to appoint campaign COM
nittee of one from each district and a
puritv committee of five members. The
meeting adjourned to the call OF the
chairman of the general convention.

VERDICT MEETS
WITH CRITICISM
Judge Cook Says Querbach
Was Guilty of Murder in
First Degree or Nothing
GIVES HIM THE LIMIT
Will Pass Next Ten Years
in San Quentin for the
Crime of Manslaughter

George T. Querbach, alias Pistol
Jack" who was tried for murder and
convicted of manslaughter by jury ir
Judge Cooks court, was sentenced yes
terday to serve ten years in San Quen-
tin.
In view Of the jurys verdict this
sentence was the longest the court
could impose, but in sentencing Quer-
bach Judge Cook took occasion to score
the jury.
The Judge said that he did not agree
with the verdict of the jury. The de-
fendant should either have been con-
Victed of murder in the first degree or
acquitted. 1t seemed strange to him
the fact was not commented upon at
the trial that from the condition OF the
body of the murdered woman an at
tempt had been made to criminally as
sault her. There was evidence of des
perate struggle, the woman's clothes
having been torn off her body. If death
resulted from the struggle to protect
her honor the defendant was guilty or
homicide. The jury had, however,
brought in verdict Of manslaughter,
and he could only give the defendant
the extreme penalty.
Querbach had been engaged TO be
married to Mrs. Annie Wilson, widow,
who lived at Capp street. He had
bought her a wedding dress, bonnet
and other articles, but they quarreled
and he left her house. He returned, as
he said, to get some of his clothes on
Sunday, November /, and availed him
self of the opportunity to destroy the
wedding dress and other articles he
had given her. A struggle ensued, and
a few hours later Mrs. Wilson was
found dead in the house.
Mrs. Wilson, although a powerfully
built woman, was a sufferer from fatty
degeneration of the heart, and it was
argued for the defense that death was
due to that cause superinduced by the
shock of the struggle with the defend
ant Querbach wrote a letter to Cap
tain Martin under an assumed name
admitting that he had murdered Mrs.
Wilson, but that he had no intention of
doing So as she was the only woman
he had ever loved.

SURGEON CARL G. WILSON
IN TROUBLE WITH SUPERIOR
Health Board Orders His Suspension
Pending Investigation for Al
Ieged InSubOrdinafion.

Pending an investigation of alleged
insubordination and disrespect to his
superior, Chief Surgeon John I.
Stephens, DIR. Carl G. Wilson, assistant
emergency surgeon of the Emergency
Hospital staff, City Hall, was sus-
pended from duty yesterday by the
Health Board. The charges. which
have not yet been made public, are
said to allege a series of offenses dur
ing conclave week. 1t is said about
the City Hall that there are several
Emergency Hospital attaches VINO
consider their positions secure through
political influence and who ignore the
authority of the chief surgeon. This
supposed pull has been the means
of breeding a spirit of INSTRUMENTATION
and disresDect to the extent Of dis
rupting the heretofore excellent man
agement of the institution. Some
thing had to be done to insure dis
cipline and obedience to orders OF the
head of the department.
The charges against DR.. Wilson VIII
be the subject of thorough investiga-
ton by the members Of the Health
Board.
