FOOTPiDS KEEP
Up THEIR WORK
Frank I. Simmons, Artist,
Is Strangled and Robbed
of a Diamond Scarf Pin
SUSPECT Is ARRESTED
Z. G. Hausserman Held Up
OH Mission Street and Two
Lose in Golden Gate Park

Footpads roamed the city on Satur-
day night looking for victims. Frank
I. Simmons, an artist living at 923
Folsom street, asserts that he was one
of the victims. He told Sergeant Syl-
vester on Saturday night that about
10 o'clock a man who was accompa-
MED by small boy got strangle hold
on him at Folsom and Falmouth
streets and deftly extracted Simmons
diamond scarf pin valued at $S5. Syl-
vester instructed Policeman A. Sulli-
van and W. NJ Phillips to go with
Simmons in an effort to find the
stranger. In a saloon at Falmouth and
Shipley streets Simmons pointed to
Thomas Mccarthy, janitor living at
2401s Sixth street, and accused him of
being the man who robbed him. Nc
Carthy declared his innocence, but was
locked up pending developments
Z. g. Hausserman, 816 Mission street,
says he was also victim of footpads.
He notified the police on Saturday
night that while he was on his way
home about 8 o'clock two men ap-
preached him near Third street and
one asked him for 10 cents. Hausser-
man said he had no money and the
man struck him on the face and
knocked him down. The men went
through his pockets and got SO, all
the money he had. He was able to
give a good description of the two
men.
Walter Planz, Ais Turk street, re-
ported to the police yesterday that he
and companion, David Hughes, were
held UP by tall masked man near
the sviary in Golden Gate Park on
Saturday night, January %. The man
had a revolver and pointed it at them.
They were ordered to throw up their
hands and they obeyed promptly. The
footpad took 81 10 from Planz and 81
from Hughes and ran away in the di-
rection of the tennis court. Planz said
he did not report the hold-up earlier
because he wanted to avoid notoriety.

DONKEY TO RUN AMUCK

Albert RA1ceV1ch Tells ANIMAL TO
WhOavich and Is Kicked Over
the Fence.
Because Albert Raicevich, a boy of
IA, addressed him in the Slavic dia-
lect yesterday one of the donkeys in
Golden Gate Park ran amuck. He
butted Albert over the fence that sur
rounds the donkey speed track and
wrecked a goat-cart. Young Raice-
vich received some severe bruises in
the tumble and had to be treated at
the Park Hospital by DR.. Glover.
When the boy mounted the animal
and ordered him to "getupski" the
long-eared animal seemed suspicious
and began to cavort. "Whoavich!"
shouted Albert. That settled it. The
donkey pranced over to the fence and
Albert went over. like bolt from a
catapult. The animal that objected to
the dialect was christened Maudde-
vich on the spot by the donkey-boys.

PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE

In view of the withdrawal of
Hon. Walter Steed for the presi-
dency OF the Senate, and the mix.
up of Hon. W. W. Osborne and
Hon. W. S. West there are numer-
Gus political promulgations being
heard on the curb these days. 1t
is a foregOne conclusion that south
Georgia ought to name the man to
preside over the next Senate, and
the many friends of the Hon.
Crawford Wheatley have about
determined to put him in the race
for this high honor.
Perhaps there is no more popu-
lar man in south west Georgia than
Senator elect Crawford Wheatley
and should he listen to the dictates
of his friends and consent to be
come candidate for the presiden-
cy of the Senate, he will cut nc
small figure in the coming race.
The Times Recorder does moi
speak by the card, for Senator
Wheatley could not be seen yester
day, but it's more than probable
that his friends will put him in th'
race for the presidency of the Sen
ate with such vigor that he can b'
counted on as strong adversary
of any and all the gentlemen whC
have already made their announce
ment for this high office.

PRICE ADVISES THE FARMERS

Theodore Price, the self appoint
ed adviser of Southern farmers on
cotton matters, representative of
foreign spinners, and leader
among the New York 'Ebears", has
printed letter, wanting the South
to go ahead and grow as much cot
ton as possible in 1905. The unso-
licited letter closes with this ran
dom shot;
"As to next years acreage, [
quote from Dean Swift, which the
experience of the intervening two
centuries has only confirmed. He
said:
" THAT whoever could make two
ears of corn and two blades of grass
to grow where only one grew be-
fore, would deserve better of man
kind and do more essential service
to his country than the whole race
of politicians"
Now, that is just what the South
will do in 1905. She will double
her corn and her grass crop. She
will do, literally, just what Mr..
Price and Dean Swift advise in
this matter of corn and grass, al
though i'll so doing~we are forced
to cut down the cotton acreage %
per cent.
So much for the Hon. Price and
his rotten advice.

With view of ascertaining how
much truth there was in the sto-
ries of thousands of idle men being
unable to obtain employment in
New York, a newspaper reporter
CARRIED as an ordinary working
man went out to look for job. He
found two jobs in two days, and
says he could have had others for
the asking. The trouble with too
many idle men is that they seek
only a particular kind of work. If
they have trade they will work
at nothing else. If they can get
no work from a contractor they
give up and hunt the soup house.
