her husband absolutely failed to pro-

Sis HoRNER,s HousE on FTRE

OAKLAND, May 5.-An incendiary
set the home of Supervisor F. c.
Horner at CentervilIe on fire about
midnight last night and but for the
awakening Of the inmates it would
have been burned to the ground. The
miscreant bored a hole with a large
suger through the side of the house
and put shavings and paper saturated
with coal oil through the hole and
thenrset il on fire.
Mrs. Eorner was awakened by what
she believes to have been the auger as
II broke through the wood, but after
listening and hearing nothing further
tried to sleep The blaze and the
cracking Of the flames soon attracted
her and the light in the room warned
her of the danger.
The greatest difficulty was expert
enced in getting at the fire under the
basement, but it was finally subdued.
and Horner then got out his auto
mobile and secured the country. for
II was believed that wheels were heard
driving away about the time the fire
was started. but he overlook no one.
The community is greatly exercised
over the matter and should the man
fall into their hands he is apt to be
summary dealt with. No cause can
be assigned for the outrage.

WILL INSTALL.
MODERN PLANT

HALFMOON BAY. May 5.-Pigeon
Point. the port for Pescadero. is to be
equipped with a modern unloading
cable. Laren Coburn. the millionaire.
who owns big warehouses az the
point. win construct the cable. 1t
will be completed in about two weeks.
The cable means a great deal to this
vicinity. At present all ships unload
their cargoes to fiat-bottom boats 500
feet from shore. A cable operated by
hand draws the barge labortously and
slowly to shore.
The new method will revolutionize
freight traffic. From the heights at
Pigeon Point heavy wire cable 500
feet in length will be stretched to an
anchorage in sheltered cove There
the ships will transfer their cargoes
to cars on the cable. which will be
hauled ashore by steam power. BY
this means ships may unload quickly
and safely.

BERKELEY, May although the
Stanford "co-eds' tied the women stu
dents Of the University of California
in the basket ball games played by the
TWO teams this seAson, the California
maidens regard themselves as entitled
TO the championship because of the
default of the Stanford girls to come
forward and play the third and decid-
ing game.
This third game was to have been
played, according to the original sched-
ule, at Berkeley tomorrow morning.
The first game Of the series was played
IN Hearst Hall on the university cam
pus at Berkeley and this game the Cal
ifOrnia players captured by the score
Of II 10 6. Then the California girls
journeyed to Stanford a week later,
but at PalO Alto they met defeat, al
though by closer score than that of
the first game.
Now the Stanford girls should play
the concluding match, but they are I'M
able to come for various reasons.
There is no set code of rules that
determines who may be entitled TO the
championship under these circum-
stances, but the best judges declare
that California may fairly make claim.
The university girls are sportswomen
enough to waive the title and to say
that in the absence Of a decisive game
they viii share basket bail henors for
this season with the maidens who
flaunt the cardinal as their color.
The California team is composed of
the following players: Misses Lily
Wright OF, Mamie Rigney '05 and
Lillian Williams '06. forwards; Flor
efce Atkinson '05 (captain), Helen
Eschenberg '0S and Leila Boynton '05,
