AGED MINISTER IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
RUN DOWN WHILE CROSSING THE
TRACK
Rev. Daniel Alderman Was Starting to
Chicago When Struck by Santa
Monica cars-Dies on Operating
Table In Hospital

Rev. Daniel Ackerman, a Methodist
minister, 70 years Of age, was struck
by a Santa Monica accommodation
train yesterday morning as he was
crossing the track at Twenty-ninth
street and Central avenue. He sus-
tanned a cut across the face and his
left arm was almost chopped off below
the elbow. On being removed to the
receiving hospital the surgeon ampti-
tated his left arm below the elbow, but
the man died from internal injuries be-
fore the operation was completed.
The old man remained conscious until
chloroform. He was unable to recall
how he had been run down by the
train. People who saw him say that
he wandered out on the tracks and
stood there as If in a trance. The en-
gineer, seeing the man, blew the
whistle and put on the brakes, but too
late to avoid running him down. He
was hurled nearly thirty feet.
The victim had been staying at a
mission known as the Holy Jumpers
at Twenty-eighth street and Central
avenue. By those who knew him it is
said that he intended leaving the city
by the noon train for Chicago. The
members of his congregation were just
preparing a small lunch for him, when
he wandered out of the building for
a short walk. He crossed Central ave-
nue. at Twenty-ninth street, stopping
to look about him in the middle of the
track. He seemed entirely unconscious
of the train that was laundering down
on him.
His body was taken to the Bresee
Bros undertaking parlors, and will be
sent to Chicago.

TAKE EXCEPTIONS TO REPORT
Red Cross AntiseptIc Company Be-
lieVes DR.. Leonard Was Unfair In
Condemninu Mouthpieces

The Red Cross Antiseptic company
that furnishes the mouthpieces in use
on the telephones in the city hall takes
exceptions to the report of the city
bacteriologist that it's device has no
germicidal value, claiming that DIR.
Leonard did not examine it's instru-
ment, but one made on similar lines.
The report of the city bacteriologist
on the mouthpieces was read to the
city council yesterday and in this re-
port DIR. Leonard made the statement
that she considered the instruments
valueless as she had examined others
constructed on the same principle and
in the same manner. On the strength
of this report, the council decided to
spend no more money on the instru-
ments.

from her home in New York out to
Fort Washakie to visit the family of ].
X. Moore, who was at that time post
trader there. At the home of Mr..
Moore Miss Wetherbee met Sherman
Coolidge, full-blooded Arapahoe In
dian, who was then and still is con-
Quoting the little Episcopal mission at
the Shoshone reservation.
Coolidge called frequently at the
modest home of the post-trader to see
Miss Wetherbee and openly and boldly
paid court to her. Nor did she dis
courage his suit. On the contrary, she
encouraged it, and when, not long after
the couple first met, he asked her 20
become his wife, she promptly and un-
hesitatingly consented to do so.
The engagement was a brief one.
The red-skinned missionary and the
white girl from New York were deeply
in love with each other and arrange
ments were promptly made for the cele-
bration of the nuptials. The lovers pre-
sented themselves before the Rev. Mr.
Roberts, a missionary at the Shoshone
reservation, and requested him to make
them husband and wife. He declined
to perform the marriage ceremony.
Nothing daunted, the lovers prepared
to set out by stage for Casper, in this
state, nearly 200 miles distant from the
fort, resolved to have the knot tied
there. When Mr.. Roberts saw that
they were determined to carry out their
purpose to become husband and wife
he relented, called them back, and
married them at his home. Since their
marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge have
lived happily together and child has
been born of their union.

EXPECT O'BRIEN
IN THIS WEEK
COMING TO PREPARE FOR HIS.
LOCAL ENGAGEMENT
Clever Philadelphia Is Heading for
Angel City, to Remain Until
After His Battle With
Jack Twin

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien will arrive
In Los Angeles tomorrow or Thursday
and begin his Broadway stunt. Jack
will fight Jack Twin Sullivan at Nc
Carey's pavilion November 2S but will
not Immediately go into training after
his arrival.
In a letter to Chris Ward written the
day of the fight, O'Brien expressed
great confidence in his ability to win
by the knockout route and expressed
but little fear of the talk of Kaufman's
friends regarding an early termination
Of the fight.
O'Brien says that the articles of
agreement for the fight with Jack
Twin have been signed and they will
weigh in at 100 pounds at 8 o'clock.
This is considered a big advantage for
o. Brien and is another evidence of his
cuteness in arranging his own fights.
Jack Twin is best at 152 or 154, and
If he must make 100 at o'clock on the
day of the fight it means that he will
go into the ring at about 164 pounds,
which Is entirely too much meat for
him to pack through twenty rounds Of
boxing with a man of the caliber of
O'Brien.
1t is McCareys intention to attempt
TO match O'Rrien with Hart imme-
diately after the title holder arrives on
the coast. Since O'Brien's easy victory
over Kaufman it is not believed that
Hart will attempt to smash Scotty's
oss-country run to get to the peace
full Pacifics shores.
In meeting between these two
OBrien would doubtles be favorite and
the coast money would practically be
placed on the foxy law
O'Brien's remarkable showing against
Kaufman has sent the Irish stock soar
ing away above par and the wave of
popularity seems to have set in toward
the Philadelphia with a vengeance.
The nasty things said about him by
the Frisco sport writer's have been
apologized for, and now O'Brien is the
idol of their hearts.
McCarey has first call on O'Brien,
and it is probable that the heavyweight
lspirant will do all his coast fighting
before Los Angeles crowds this winter.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-31

isfactory news to the fans, as Louis
vile, with it's 900 population, is en-
trely too much of city to be in a
minor league and the dash of the old
Colonels made them factors in pennant
races.
Joe Cans on Coast
Joe Cans, who holds on to the light
weight title with a grim desperation
which is only equaled by his inability
to get a fight with likely aspirants for
the toga, is at Frisco begging for a
scrap. That the game may be ridded
of Cans and Hereford forever it is
hoped that some of the coast fighters
will match him with some of the top
notchers and get the title back into
worthy hands. Jimmy Gardner, Mike
Twin Sullivan or Eddie Hanlon could
turn the trick and Cans would be an
easy mark for Aurelio Herrera and his
slap-bang style of scrapping.
Stats in Trouble
J. Ira Stats Davis, umpire, has been
arrested on a charge of embezzlement
preferred by a young woman of Frisco.
She alleges j. Ira Stats borrowed her
diamond ring and failed to return it.
J. Ira Stats was taken before hizzoner
and released on his own recognizance.
j. Ira Stats is the chap whose ragged
decisions have caused him to become
severely disliked by all the players in
tine Pacific Coast league and has the
of taking about half of every
players salary each month in fines and
generally requires the service of the
cop brigade at games he umpires to
escort the players from the field.
Gardner Is FaVorite
Jimmy Gardner has been made favor
ite in the fight with Mike Twin Sulli-
van which occurs Thanksgiving day
This favoritism is confined to Frisco
and will not extend to Los Angeles,
where the local money will go on Mike
Twin. Frisco made Kaufman favorite
over Jack O'Brien at odds of 2 to 1
and the favorite was never in the rum
ming. Sentiment plays bigger part
in Frisco Judgment than does the real
merit of the men and it is seldom that
the Frisco favorite gets under the wire
first. Mike is mighty big contract
for the Lowell boy and If he fails to
land the long end of the purse the
local fans will he treated to an awful
jolt.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30.-Martin
F. Black, who says that five years ago
he was a prosperous commission mer-
chant in New York city with a fortune
estimated at from $15O,0OO to 100000,
appeared before Magistrate Eisebrown
today and asked to be sent to the
house of correction, where he would
be sure of shelter during the winter.
His request was granted.
II was ruined by gambling and
drink" said Black. "I once had a fine
commission business in New York. A
customer got me to take my first drink
by shaming me into it, and from that
time 1 went straight down. 1 learned
to love liquor in a day and lost $1,000
at stud poker the night I started
drinking.
"I saw the folly of it ALL but couldn't
break away. Wine suppers, with
theatrical people helped to make my
money fly. My rivals got my business,
the saloons and gaming table got my
ready cash, and soon I was down to
5000. I bet it on the New Yorks in
the worlds baseball championship
series, and the stakeholder ran away
the night the Giants won the deciding
game.

HANLON- HERRERA
FIGHT POSTPONED
MEXICAN CONTRACTS CASE OF
GRIPPE
Eddie Gets AureIo's Forfeit Money
for Extra Expenses and the
Battle Is Deferred One
Week

The Hanlon- Herrera fight has been
postponed one week. which means that
1t will not occur until Friday night,
November 10.
The cause of the postponement was
the request of Herrera, who has con-
tracted a mild attack of grippe and
has been forced to let up in his training
for the past four days.
Herrera made request for postpone
ment and at a conference between the
principals and Manager McCarey yes
terday afternoon the request was
granted, Hanlon being allowed to draw
down Herreras $3.50 forfeit money to
cover the extra expense of training the
extra seven days.
Both men are expecting the battle Of
their lives and neither is willing to take
any chances. Herera's illness pre-
vented him from continuing his work
for several days, and he could not get
in proper condition to go for a gruelling
match with a man as hard at the
game as is Hanlon, this fact prompting
the request for postpo1ement.
Herrera resumed training yesterday,
and says that with the additional week
for work he will be in the best Of con-
Hition and will make good with the fans
by taking Eddies scalp.
The postponement, of course, carries
with it the preliminaries scheduled for
the nights card, and Is a sore disap-
pointment to all the four prelim scrap
pers.
Zubrick was fit and ready and had
ceased training. Joe German. who
worked out at Frisco, was also ready
to go on at a minutes notice, and Kid
Webster and Terry Davis were fine
and dandy for their part of the pro-
gram.
BY the postponement these men must
let up and start over again. German
will work out at the pavilion with Her
rera and the featherweights. German
arrived yesterday morning from Frisco
and says that he IS ready to pluck some
of Zubrick's feathers when they meet
November 10.

SHE'S A SQUAW NOW
Former New York Belle Carries Her
Papoose Strapped to Her

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LANDER, Wyo., Oct. 30.-She who
was Grace Wetherbee of New York
and a reigning belle Is now literally
Sherman Coolidges squaw. The daugh-
ter of Gardiner Wetherbee, one of the
proprietors of the Hotel Manhattan in
the most crowded section of the
metropolis, has become Indianized
Carrying her papoose strapped to her
back, wearing a brilliant parti-colored
shawl and moccasns, she dwells hap
PLY with her Arapahoe husband on a
ranch near the little mission house on
the Shoshone Indian reservation, near
Fort Washable, eighteen miles east of
Lander.
When the government throws open
the Shoshone reservation to settlement
next spring the land seekers will see
the white woman who, for love of a
man, gave up New York for the prairie
and silks for a squaw's garb. But
Grace Wetherbee is not the slave but
the helpmate of her full-blood Indian
husband who equally returns her love
for her and their child.
Despite her upbringing, Squaw Cool
idge has fallen into many of the GUS
toms and become addicted to not a few
of the habits of the red people in the
midst of whom she has lived for the
last six years. She dresses more like a
squaw than a woman of her own race
she is careless of her personal appear
ance and has become undignified in her
bearing. Nevertheless she is devoted
to and happy in the compaionship and
love Of her Indian husband and her
half-breed child and in the devotion of
her husbands people, who have come to
regard her as sort of saint. She has
faithfully and zealously assisted her
husband in his missionary work, labor
ing to uplift his people morally and to
enlighten them spiritually, and has done
much good.
Near the reservation Coolidge has a
ranch on which he lives with his wife
and child. While Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
have friends among the whites in the
and are respected and
esteemed by them yet they spend most
of the time among the red folk on the
reservation and at their own home.
Coolidge wears the conventional
clerical garb and is large, portly man
with a clean-shaven face and Indian
features.

"BE A GOOD MIXER"
The Advice Given to Young Men by
Professor Frank j. Miller
of Chicago

of Chicago
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Be a "good fell
low" Learn to mix" Acquire the
social graces. Do not overlook the
pleasant things In life, which mean
furtune and happiness. And do not
make books your only friends, for they
are small comfort out in the hard, cold
world.
This advice was given to the Univer-
sity of Chicago students as the formula
for success by Prof. Frank j. Miller,
the Midway dean of affiliations, yes
terday. The recent utterances of John
D. Rockefeller, who has expressed him
self as opposed to being good fell
low" were completely ignored by the
professor. His address was entitled,
"Some Students Musts."
'It is not good for a man to be
alone" said Prof. Miller. Therefore
cultivate the social graces. BY this
do not mean going to balls seven times
a week, or even six. Dances are all
right, but there are other places than
bathrooms to learn the social graces.
Learn to gain access to your fellow
men. 1t is worth a fortune to be a
good mixer" 1t means a life full of
happiness. The really successful man
gets around among men and does not
hold himself apart"

NeaIon Is Wanted

Nealon Is Wanted
Friscos big first baseman, Joe
Nealon, is much wanted man in big
league circles. Several teams, among
them Cincinnati, Pittsburg and New
York are bidding for his services and 1t
is probable that this will be Nealon's
last season on the coast.
New Coast Umpires
Jack Mccarthy of the American
league has returned to the coast and
will handle the indicator during the
remainder of the season. Jack Sheridan
is also expected soon and President
Bert expects to corral the major league
umpire for next season.
Portland Begins Today
The webfoot brigade has come to
town and will begin a six days en-
gagement with the Angels at Chutes
park today. The Portland aggrega-
ton expects to take five out of six
games and incidentally crimp the pen
nant aspirations of the Morleyites, put
they all look alike to Capt. Dillon's
huskies and it is doubtful if the web
feet will get a game while here.
Special to Ascot
A special train is scheduled to leave
New York for Ascot park Thursday
night. Seventeen cars will be in the
special and 260 horses will be brought
here for the winter racing. Others are
expected to follow, as many new faces,
human and equine, will be seen on the
local course this winter, among them
being several representative turfmen
and their strings from the eastern
tracks.
Fogs Hinder Training
Oakland horsemen are experiencing
much annoyance because of the heavy
fogs which hang over the track and
prevent the horses from working out
satisfactorily. Recently the fogs have
been so heavy that several collisions
have occurred between horses and this
put a stop to fast work. In the mean
time the horses at Ascot are jogging
daily in the bright and clear atmos-
phere of the most favored spot on
earth.
Baseball Inquiry
President Bert of the coast league
will hear the case of President Haw-

Northern sporting writer's are inclined
to The opinion that Hawbacker or
Schmidt are in fair way of being
turned out doors after the hearing.
The charges, if true, will wind upI
Schmidt's diamond career. If notl
proven, Hawbacker is likely to receive
an invitation to get into some other
line of business.

All the big league teams are shy a

Even the St. Louis teams cleaned up

that both it's clubs finished almost in
