LAUNDRY COMPANY WOULD
ENJOIN WAGON DRIVERS
Three Employees Charged With Using
Information for Benefit of
Rival Concerns.

Three laundry wagon drivers, en-
ployes of the Metropolitan Laundry
Company, were yesterday made de-
PENDANTS in suits for damages and In
junction. They are Alfred Johnson,
Henry Gatzert and Charles Heinrich.
Each was in charge of a laundry
route for the California, California
French and Franco-California Laun-
dry Company, the property, business
and good will of which were bought in
November, 1908, by the Metropolitan
Company,
The new company retained the SER
vices of the drivers until January
last. 1t is now alleged that since the
termination Of their employment the
men have refused to deliver the pa
pers, books and memoranda relating
to the customers on their routes and
are using the information therein con-
tanned for the purpose of damaging
the plaintiffs business. 1t Is even
charged that they are collecting laun-
dry from the Metropolitan's custom
ers and delivering. 1t to other laun-
dries. The court is asked to order the
return of the records, for an injunc-
tion preventing the acts complained
of and for judgment for $4,000 dam
ages in each case.

Home of the Winged 20" Is
Given Over to Mirth and
Merrymaking for a Night
MANY STARS ENTERTAIN
Jimmy Britt Tries Mono
logue on Crowd and Ath-
letes Do Some Clever Turns

The brawny Olympians put aside all
thoughts of punching bags, wrist ma
chimes and handball courts last night
and devoted themselves to entertaining
their fair friends in true winged 90
style. That their efforts to please were
not in vain was attested by the hearty
manner in which each number of the
programme was received. All the vet
erans pronounced it the greatest show
ever given at the club, while the new
comers began to long for another such
night.
The programme was one which af-
forded each star a chance to glimmer
and at the same time to give pleasure
to goodly proportion of the audience.
The athletic tableaux, first number on
the card and an innovation at the club,
proved a winner. Eight poses were
portrayed by various gifted young ath-
letes, ably assisted by two fair fencers.
Misses Connor and De Lambertini. The
act provoked applause and enthusiasm
galore and was a fitting curtain raiser
to a pleasant evenings entertainment.
Jimmy Britt, billed as "Mr. j. Ed
ward Britt" was ready and willing
with his monologue that won for him
name on many an Eastern stage. Jim
my had grace, stage presence and wit
at his command and before he finished
with his initial tale his audience voted
him a success and was willing to listen
to anything the champion cared to toss
out
The pyramids" illustrated by some
clever as we'll as husky youths, was
another winning part of the pro-
gramme. The boys went through
number of startling acts and got away
with each of them as good as any
troupe of professionals. Jimmy Britt,
Joe Lundie, Johnny Roach and Eddie
Scott showed the ladies how they use
their mitts in mixup. Three spirited
rounds were reeled off. much to the de-
light of many a demure damsel and
stately matron.
Ed Baraty and H. Miller went
through the mysteries of wrestling for
a few minutes. Oscar Frank favored
the gathering with couple of his ia
vorite selections. as did Miss Eugenia
Barker. Bob Mitchell was as funny as
ever in his dialogue stunt Signor
Dcmenico Russo brought the pro-
gramme to a close with that ever pop
ular selection, "Violets."

|OIL POLLUTES
| WATERS OF BAY
.Sportsmen Alarmed Over
the Condition of Ducks
and of Striped Bass
QUESTION is SERIOUS
Fish May Be Wiped Out
While Game Birds Are
Rendered Unfit for Table

The sportsmen who find pleasure in
duck shooting and in angling for
striped bass in and about the bay are
alarmed at the Widespread injury be-
ing wrought by oil which finds it's way
icto the bay, polluting It's waters.
The most direct evidence of the in
jury to game is seen in the ducks, many
Of which have been destroyed recently,
as they could neither fy, swim nor
dive. This condition is not peculiar to
any one location, but obtains on all
the bay shore, from Alviso to the
Suisun marshes.
Some of the owners of preserves
claim that not one bird in five of
those killed is fit for use, the majority
being saturated with oil. The splendid
canvasbacks which have found an
abiding place in Richardson's Bay, near
Sausalito, for weeks, have been the
chief sufferers. Hundreds OF these
birds were killed to put them out of
their misery. as they were helpless.
While the ducks are the chief sufferers
at the present time, it is possible the
striped bass and other fish will be ir-
reparably damaged. AS the tides re-
cede they leave a blanket Of oil on the
shore, which kills off the CLAIMS and
other shell fish, upon which the shore
fish feed. 1t Is claimed by sportsmen
that If not another drop of oil reaches
the waters of the bay it would take a
year to eliminate that already there. 1t
does not require Sherlock Holmes to
determine where the oil enters the bay,
as a telltale streak leads from the
various establishments handling oil.
For miles along the bay shore the salt
grass is decaying owing to the oil de-
posted at it's roots at each high tide.
Chief Deputy Vogelsang of the Cali
fornia Fish Commission does not take
the alarmist view Of the situation held
by the sportsmen. THE development
of the oil industry" he said yesterday,
has brought about new conditions. In
the handling of the oil some has found
its way into the waters of the bay. The
deputies of the Fish Commission have
made regular inspections Of the plants
about the bay, and they report that
every precaution is being taken to keep
the oil out of the bay. No place has
been found where refuse oil Is being
turned into the bay. What reaches
there is by accident.
There is a slight leakage from cars
and also from the many steamers in
the bay which burn oil as fuel. 1t re-
quires but little oil to make a thin
coating over large area of water"
The oil problem is a serious one to
the people of this city, as the striped
bass furnishes them one Of the cheap
est as we'll as one of the finest of table
fish. The take of bass has been get
ting smaller each year, showing the
fish need proper protection.

DEFENSE ENDS ARGUMENT
IN MONNIER WILL CONTEST
George ID. Collins Makes an Eloquent
Appeal for Justice for His
Client

NuenI.
After an argument that lasted over
two days in Judge Graham's court
George d. Collins. attorney for Mrs.
Anna Monnier, closed his side OF the
case yesterday afternoon with a final
appeal to the jury for a careful con-
sideration of the evidence.
He asked them not to allow them
selves to be swayed by any sympahies
they might feel for the contestants s
condition, and ended with a brilliant
bit of oratory in which he thanked
the jury for the close attention they
had given the case. He also paid a
fine tribute to Judge Graham for his
impartiality and fairness during the
trial and said that he felt assured that
justice would be given.
To-day Matt Sullivan will close the
contestants side of the case and 1t is
expected that the evidence will go to
the jury on Saturday Sullivan, by
previous agreement with Collins, will
confine himself within the lines laid
down by his colleague. Theodore ].
Roche. but will attempt to refute sew
eral of the allegations made by Collins
in his final argument.

EASTERN RACING MAGNATES
QUARREL OVER DATES
A. III. Morris of Morris Park Refuses
to Surrender His Rights to
August Belmont.


NEW YORK, Jan. Is-The fact that
there is discord in the ranks of the
millionaires who compose the Eastern
Jockey Club and who control racing In
this State has just come to light, al
though the discord developed at meet
ing held last Monday to allot dates for
the coming season. 1t was this ques-
ton of dates that first caused the diff
ference of opinion which, before the
meeting finally adjourned, caused the
men of millions to think and to say
rather hard things of each other.
The trouble was caused by Alfred
Hennen Morris, representing Morris
Park race track, refusing to surrender
what he consides his rights to August
Belmont and to the iatter's Belmont
Park. Belmont wanted the dates Nor
ris Park enjoyed in former years for
Belmont Park. Morris absolutely re-
fused to agree to any such scheme and
now there is deadlock that may have
some effect upon racing.
Belmont Is a member Of the jockey
club which allots dates in this State.
He is also member Of. the State Rae
ing Commission, which licenses race
tracks. This commission is composed
of three men and no race track can run
without license.
The State Racing Commission COM
prises of Belmont, his brother-in-law,
E. D. Morgan, and his friend, John
Sanford, of Schenectady. This makes
Belmont hold a, strong hand in issuing
licenses to racing associations, but the
Jockey club members control in the
matter of allotting dates.

Holmes LECTURE ON Japan.

Japan" was the subject treated Of
last evening by Burton Holmes in his
series of "travelogues" now being
given at Lyric Hall. Following as
they did the lecture on Russia" Mr..
Holmes motion pictures and talk on
Japanese customs, habits and religion
were followed by the large audience
present with the keenest interest.
The lecture was radian of
cherry blossoms and lotus, patriotism
and politeness. The devotees Of jiu
jutsu were treated to an exhibition of
that latest fad by a celebrated native
master, while for the lovers of natural
beauty the icy top of Fujinoyama was
pictured by reflection buried deep
within crystal lake. The celebrated
geisha dance reproduced in the bio
graph was not the least of the many
attractive features exhibited of this
quaint Oriental people.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Jabez Wh1te
will leave England at once to fight
Jimmy Britt late in March or early In
April before the Yosemite Athletic
Club of San Francisco. Charley Mitch
ell, in behalf of White, to-day capieo
the club to send him $500 for expenses.
While White Is persistently Knocked
by men who never saw him fight, Ref
cree Charles White, who saw the Eng
lish lightweight battle with Spike Sui
livan in London during coronation
week, in June, 1902, thinks the English
man has an excellent chance with any
man in the present lightweight divi-
sion.
"Jabez White trimmed Spike Sullivan
easily" said Charley White, lin f1f-
teen-round go and Sullivan was as
good at that time as he ever was In his
life. Everybody knows that Spike,
when he was right, was tough propo-
sition, and he certainly was right for
that fight. He had been training with
Tom Sharkey and was fit. Several we'll
known Americans were so confident he
would win that they bet big money on
him.
white fights more on the American
style than any fighter saw in Eng
land. White understands the game
thoroughly"
Andy Mulligan Of Washington Ath-
letic Club of Hot Springs has offered
Britt and White a purse of $4,000 or a
percentage of gate receipts to fight be-
fore his club.
Il do not think White will leave Eng
land before the latter part of March, -
said Manager Jim Coffroth of the Yo-
semitic Club last night. 1 have been in
communication with him for several
weeks past in regard to terms and mi
nor details and he seems willing to
make the long trip, but 1 cannot be led
to believe he will start for more than
two months
tom O'Rourke is looking after
Whites business in New York, while
Charley Mitchell represents him in the
Old World. l think the match is a eer-
tainty If nothing goes wrong in the
meantime. White is willing to accept
