Grow, afoot, met and accosted him.
Being unacquainted with undehlsd
English, Signor Salvo imagined they
were plain clothes policemen requesting
him to display a peddlers license. and
he promptly brought forth and showed
to them document of that kind au-
thorizing him to hawk vegetables and
fruit at retail. Then. to his surprise,
Ginocochi began to caracols his mount
In a way that might make any director
OF haute ecole enviouS, while Crow cut
some antics with his legs and arms
that were also mastery in their way.
S1gnor Salvo was in doubt as to wheth-
er he had run against pair of escaped
lunatics or was witnessing a double
case of sudden insanity when his own
horses began to fidget and back his
wagon to the brink of a steep declivity
at the roadside, and then he realized
that the ostensibly imbecile exhibition
was of malicious inspiration. While the
steed of Ginocochi stood erect upon it's
hind legs and wildly paved the atmos-
phere with its front ditto, Grow cut
pigeon wings and curlecues and made a
human jumDingjack of himself, all
with evident intent to encourage the
affrighted horses of Salvo to continue
their retrograde movement until they
backed the wagon over the cliff That
very thing was done, and for being in
strumental in the doing of 1t Signor
Salvo had Ginocochi and Crow arrested
and jointly booked for disturbing the
peace.
The defendants denied the alleged
malicious mischief and said that Signor
Salvo had only his own negligence to
blame for the overthrow of his team.
After they had addressed him jokingly.
they added. he stopped his horses and
relinquished control of the reins in or
der to free his hands so that he could
extend them like fans. and with thumb
points touching his nose wave his fin
gers slowly to and fro, the movement
being expressive of derision. So intent
was he upon thus signaling his con-
tempt that he left his horses to do as
they pleased, and to back the wagon
and themselves over the precipice was
apparently what pleased them.
The testimony is being assayed and
returns may be announced to-day

TRIES TO PASS
A BOGUS CHECK
Stanley Bates, Scion of a
Wealthy Los Angeles Fam
lily, in Serious Trouble

Stanley Bates, scion of the wealthy
former society man of the southern
city, is in a cell in the City Prison
charged with trying to pass a worthless
money order on John j. Daughney, a
saloon man at Fourth and Folsom
streets. Bates was formerly clerk of
the st. Clement Hotel, on Fourth street.
but was discharged from his position
last September.
Bates was in the habit OF depositing
money with Daughney, and when the
Knights Templar conclave was at its
height last September Bates did much
business in this line with the saloon
man.
He drew on Daughney at the time
for $65, and when the latter asked for
a settlement he gave him an order on
E. King of the St. Clement Hotel for
the amount. Daughney could not To-
cate King for some time, but when he
did find the hotel man he was told that
Bates accounts were in bad shape and
that he had no money coming.
Bates is reported to have been short
in his accounts while a clerk at Kings
Hotel, but If such deficiency occurred
IL was made good by the young mans
mother
Daughney did not prosecute the
young man at that time. as the latter
promised TO make a settlement Last
Saturday night Bates came to Daugh-
ney and tried to cash a check for $500
Daughney was suspicious and would
not cash the paper. Bates returned
next day and tried to have Daughney's s
partner cash the check, but failed
again. On Monday night Bates made
another attempt to get money for the
check from Daughney.
This time the saloon man took Bates
to task and asked what he meant.
Bates tried to make excuses, and
Daughney called a policeman and had
the young man taken to the City Pris-
on on charge of passing a worthless
order. Detective Tom Gibson took
charge of the case, but failed to find
the check which Bates has evidently
destroyed.
Bates is married to a young and
beautiful woman, who has child
about year old He has been a hang
er-on around Doolrooms for several
months past.

Public Shows Its Interest i'm
the Wilmerding School
and Inspects Departments

Founders day was observed at the
Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts
yesterday The interest shown by the
public seemed to surpass even that Of
previous years. Throughout the after
noon there was a large attendance.
John A. Britton, Regent of the Uni
versity of California, delivered an ad-
dress in the hearing of 200 boys in the
morning He started out to trace the
development of San Francisco and the
country tributary to it as he had seen
it during the last forty years.
Regent Britton predicted a still great
er development during the next genera
ton, and pointed out to his youthful
audience the wonderful opportunities
in this community that were awaiting
men of intelligence and character, men
with just such an education as is af-
forded at the Wilmerding School.
On the platform with Regent Britton
were Regents r. J. Taussig, chairman of
the Wilmerding School committee; Guy
c. Earl, John E. Budd and DR.. G. N.
Ellinwood.
From ! o'clock until 4 the public
came in large numbers and paid their
respects TO George A. Merrill, the di-
rector. The boys, in their workday
clothes, escorted the visitors through
the departments of bricklaying, plumb
ing, carpentry, electricity. cabinet
making. wood carving, architecture and
the laboratories and draughting-r
The young students are already we'll

Werson, instructor in building, ex-
planned the various and progressive
stages of his pupils in the building line.
Much interest was also shown in the
departments of architecture and cleo
tricity. The whole course of studies
was fully investigated by those who
availed themselves of the chance to see
the departments in full working trim.
The new athletic ground has Just

Success has attended the efforts of
the Park Commissioners TO obtain from
the temples Of Japan two stone
Buddhas for the japanese tea garden
in Golden Gate Park. The idols were
procured after considerable search for
just such specimens as would be de-
sirable. II was soon ascertained by the
agent in the Orient who was author
lied by the commissioners to obtain
the specimens, that the tourists of the
world in quest Of similar idols in stone
had been remarkably active, and as a
result OF such activity the representa-
tive Of the park board had TO send far
inland TO get the images.
The pair Of idols arrived in San
Francisco a few days ago, and after
having passed the ordeal of Custom
House inspection were conveyed TO the
park museum. Yesterday the Buddhas
were taken TO the japanese tea garden.
One Of the idols bears an inscrip-
tion which indicates that it was pre-
sented TO a temple in Japan In the

continued the case till Friday.
Miss Ida Smith, charged with having
disturbed the peace of the Tenderloln
py mailing passing pedestrians whom
she did not know, electrified Judge
Mogan's court by proving that she was
not a vagrant, but regular recipient
or large sums of money from her
wealthy father in England, her last
remittance being $11. .000

cover my sunburst before somebody
would find it in the cab and keep it,
hand't I?'
She disclosed a remarkable acquaint-
ance with the names of persons and
places familiar to the half-world. and
she wore costly apparel and sparkling
gems. Several policemen corroborated
her claim TO being remittance woman,
and stated that she had penchant for
cab-riding in the red-light district, but
otherwise she was harmless. So she
was dismissed.
John Mcdonnell, accused of having
sold pools to women in-his dry goods
store at 3242 Mission street, was dis
charged because the police were unable
to prove that pools had been purchased
from him, although they found charts
and racing forms and other gaming
paraphernalia on his premises. Before
ordering dismissal of the case, how
ever, Judge Mogan expressed his per-
sonal opinion that Mr. Mcdonnell was
guilty as charged, and roundly de-
nounced the surreptitious selling of
racing pools to women in the residence
districts.
Gaming places in the guise of mer-
camille establishments are menace to
the citys home life said his Honor,
for they place temptation to bet in
the way of women whose means do
not permit of that luxury. Wives of
workingmen cannot afford to wager on
horse races and defray their house

dren are made to suffer by the pecuni-
ary losses. l shall visit the laws eX

Recollections of the Time When
Baseball Was the Rage in
Mexico.
Cole County Democrat.

1glG AOlIte btlAONAeA l
Jefferson City is without a baseball
club and without a raging desire for
one, The professional spirit has so
far invaded the national game that
towns Of this size must either keep up
salarled teams or get out of the bust
ness.
Years ago, baseball was played for
fun or fame or both, Teams were made
up of residents OF the town. In a
match game 1t was considered dishon-
arable to ring in a nonresident player.
Uniforms were Of uncertain lit and
variegated colors in those days. A
club with three bats and a pair Of fin
gerless gloves for the catcher was well
equipped indeed. When the ball was
lost, the game stopped TIL 1t was
found.
Someone hung up a silver ball as the
championship trophy for clubs in Cen
tral Missouri. Washington won the
ball the first time, then Jefferson City
got it and, later In 1881, Sedalla took
1t and kept it. Bob Rose pitched fol
Sedalia in that game which was played
at the old fair grounds. The Jeffer
son City team was made up as follows
Rajah, pitcher; Fox, catcher; Dave
Howes, LIST base; Ed Miller, End base
John Haley, 3rd base; Henry Howes
short stop; Hy Schmidt, left field; Bill
Kelly, center field; and Seq Ferguson
right field. The feature Of that gam
on Sedalia's side was the number o
runs they piled up in nine innings
The feature for jefferson City was
hit made by Ed Miller, a drive out il
the woods back of left field, that ha
scarcely been duplicated since tina
game "A years ago.
Sid Lindley was out Of town whel
} Sedalia won the silver ball. The mex
season he returned and Ed Miller be
: gan pitching. 1t came easy to him
! and with no one to instruct him ii
! the art he developed curves so suddeI
, and crooked that he o o ranked a
! the foremost amateur pitcher In th
State. With Miller and Lindley as
battery the local team defeated every
4 thing that came here, but failed whe
they went to Sedalia to bring bac
the silver ball. In those days Mexic
, could beat Sedalia hands down, an
Jefferson City never had an easie
thing than winning from Mexico
Mexico had Joe Murphy for a pitcher
and be was in great demand in th
+ big league. Still Jefferson City wo
e from him by scores OF the jug handl
variety. That made 1t all the harde
TO lose 10 Sedalia. Jefferson Cit
couldn't win from Sedalia. Sedali
couldn't win from Mexico, and .Mexic
couldn't win from Jefferson City
Which was the best club? Ask Die
Gentry, Bob White and "King" Heir
richs and you'll get three different ar
swers.
Two or three games a year suffice
to keep public interest centered /
baseball playing, before Sportsman
Park was dedicated 10 the nations
