COME FAR TO TESTIFY
IN A BURGLARY CASE

Smelling as Witnesses Against
Juan Sanchez.

Captains ]. A. Pearce, E. G. Over
shine and l. j. Carr and Lieutenant S.
A. Price of the Twenty-eighth Infan-

ing, Minnesota, to give testimony
against Juan Sanchez, a former Fill
pino scout, who is to be tried in the
United States District Court on a
charge of burglarizing the house of
Captain Pearce at the Presidio in
September. Sanchez was captured by
Captain Carr. On the person of the
prisoner was found the loot, consisting
of jewelry and valuables. He had en-
tered several houses at the post
Inasmuch as the crime was commit
ted on the Government reservation the
prosecution devolved on the Federal
authorities. The cost of bringing the
four officers to San Francisco will
amount to about $1,000 whereas the
total amount of Sanchez'ss thefts could
not have been more than $3.50

FORTUNE FOR AN APPLE

Dollars for Fruit, But GEN.
eroSify Is Spurned.

Martin Britt. a demented but good
natured man walked up to Deputy
Health officer Louis Levy yesterday
afternoon and demanded that Levy
sell him an apple for a thousand dol
lars. Levy was unable to accommo-
date Mr. Britt, but escorted him to
the insane ward of the Central Emerg-
ehcy Hospital where he told his trou-
bles.
Among other things, Britt told
about a $50, 100000 deposit to his
credit in the Hibernia Bank, donated
to him by H. e. Huntington. He pre-
sented a check for the amount and
when it was dishonored, he felt sore.
Britt will probably be sent to one of
the State hospitals for the insane to-
day. He says his home is in Oakland.

Famous Jockey Expects to Be Rein
stated i'm This Country on the
French COurt.S Decision

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Tod Sloan, the
much talked of jockey, and, as his
friends declare, the much abused
youth of the saddle, is in this city. He
is, according to Ed Corrigan, to ride
for the latter next season, providing
the turf body in control gives him a
license. That he will get one is based
on the opinion of the French courts
decision that Sloan is entitled to $40
900 for the injury done in ruling him
off by the French Jockey Club. The
feeling here is that Sloan is guiltless
of any turf crime abroad.
Sloan's appearance in the saddle
again will be watched with much in
terest to see if he has lost any OF
his old time skill, judgment of pace
and ability to get horse to run kind
ly for him.

JEWISH WOMEN DEBATE
OBSERVANCE OF CHRISTMAS
Council Meeting at Temple Emanu-El
Listens TO Able Papers on
Interesting Topic.

The Council of Jewish Women held
q very interesting convention yester-
day afternoon in the rooms of Tenn
pie Emanu-El. The subject, Should
We Celebrate Christmas inH Our
Homes ?" was ably and pointedly dis
cussed. Two papers, by Mrs. J. C.
Levey and Mrs. d. Hirshberg, were
favorably inclined toward the observ-
ance of Christmas, stating that it in
no wise harmed nor interfered with
the Jewish faith. The negative was
elnphatically upheld by Mrs M. C.
Sloss and Mrs. an. Neumann, the
latter particularly protesting against
the introduction of Christian rites
into the households of Judaism.
Much enthusiasm greeted each
reader and the papers were excellent
in argument and reason.

ANTARCTIC NOMENCLATURE.

In the last Bulletin of the American Geo
graphical Society" Edwin Swift Balch, of Phila-
delphia, comments on the disposition recently
manifested abroad TO ignore work done under
the auspices of the United States in the Ant
arctic regions sixty years or more ago. Lieu
tenant Wilkes, who had previously shown
passion for cartography, was sent out by the
Navy Department on n voyage of exploration
in 1885, and was engaged in that special ser
vice for about four years During that time he
made surveys of islands and continental out
lines in the South Pacific, but he also pushed on
to the southweStward of Australia At a num-
Der Of points between the 154th and 106th
meridians of longitude, east from Greenwich, and
in close proximity to the Antarctic Circle, he
noted evidences of land, though floating ice pre-
vented a close approach to it. These Observa-
tions were made in 1889, and were virtually
duplicated by D'Urville few months later. For
a long time that part of the great south polar
continent which they skirted designated
Wilkes Land" OH practically all charts. Lat
tery on some English maps. Victoria Quad

The adoption of four such titles for different
sections of Antarctica was openly proposed not
long ago by Sir Clements Markham, who has
just retired from the presidency of the Royal
Geograp phical Society. but Just how much he had

pellRtion it is impossible to say.

earnest protests against this injustice came from

organizations and periodicals than for any ser

an international geographical congress. since
