TRAIN LOAD or GRANITE.
Thousands ~ Cars Being U~sd in
thr Jetty Work at Ns.la.eo.

Trainloads after trainloads OF solid
granite dug from the ribs OF old
Granite Mountain have moved
through Houston In one continuous
and endless procession for the last
four months and for months more
1t viii continue to move
These heavy loads are consigned
to Nelasco and are being used in
jetty building by the government
lt requires but two of the rocks to
load one car. one being placed over
the forward axles and the other over
and each represent In general out
line cube of about five feet dimen-
sions. Each one of them may be
estimated to weigh from 10000 TO
so 600 pounds
The granite is famous throughout
Texas. II is of very fine quality and
quite unsurpassed for building ma
terial II is reddish in color and
OF even denseness.
From the same quarries from
"hi'H II toiiitS was TAKEN the SlbHt
that built the Galveston jetties and
also the thousands of carloads of
rock composing the great seawall
For years there was a constant move
ment of stone from the quarries of
Granite Mountain through Hou-on
and Galveston
The government is paying the
freight, likewise all other expenses
Incident TO the jetty work at Velasco.
The freight rate it may be observed
is low and while the movement is
large and prolonged ii is not a
source of great profit to the roads
The haul is for a distance of nearly
400 miles, it being from Granite
Mountain on the Austin and North
western branch through Austin, then
down the Houston and Texas Cen
trail to Houston, where the shipments
are delivered to the International
and Great Northern and are taken
over the Nelasco branch to Velasco.
There are yet about a thousand
cars of the stone to move or about
| 40 train loads. This is a big move
ment but it is still an insignificant
one compared to that which was in
cident to the building of the Calves
ton jetties and more recently the sea
wall Houston Chronicle.

ing of one negro and the serious
wounding of another.
According to meager Information

AUTO CLUB WILL
HOLD RUN TO
DEL MONTE.
By r. r. l'tfon1r1edieu-

The Automobile Club of California
is going to hold another run to Del
Monte. Chairman A. 3. Watson OF the
runs and tours committee said yseter
day:
Il think that we can stand another
run. AT the present time there is no
place where this kind of an event can
be held so successfully as at Del Monte.
Therefore the next run will be to that
place a winding up of the season
There will be Gymkhana games the
same as hefd at the previous events.
but there will be all new figures. There
win be prize offered for the best sug
gestion.
Il think that this run will be in
teresting if it is made a. no-stop event.
1t will be little harder than the pre-
viouss contest and will be one that has
never been tried before by the club. IT
may be easy for most Of the machines,
but then it will teach us how easy it
is. so that at following events we can
make the test harder.
There is no reason for calling very
strenuous contest at this time: the
season is practically over and the next
run will only be a sort of reunion be-
fore the rainy season sets in
''As for the Los Angeles run, IL
would take fully six weeks to get
things in shape to pull the event of
shorter time would be courting failure.
Now. that is something that the club
wants to avoid, so think that II will
be best to leave the contest over until
the first of next season 1t would be
a splendid idea to make the first event
next season run down TO Los Ange-
les. 1t would be an interesting con-
test and one which undoubtedly would
bring out large entry of those who
have the new 1907 models 1t would
be the first chance to try out the many
good points that are now being claimed
for them
There is one thing that the own
ers of automobiles should remember
at this time. 1t is to prepare for the
rainy season In a very short time
the rain will come and it is going to
be hard to travel around the city in
automobiles. The streets are thick
with dust. which when wet down will
cause the smooth roadway to be ex-
ceedingly slippery 1t would be we'll
to be prepared and have on hand some
sort of -skidding device. The au-
tomobile will be in constant use the
whole winter, and If precautions are
not taken there are likely to be some
serious accidents
There is some talk of holding a
parade of the members OF the Auto
mobile Club of California as wind-up
of the year 1t would be a night event
with the automobiles decorated. Those
who have been talking of the event
suggest that 1t be made an open con-
test, in which all those who own auto
mobiles could compete.
The full moon OF next month has
been thought to be the best time for
holding the parade. San Francisco has
never held a real automobile parade.
These events in the past have been
held in an informal way But now that
the automobile has proven it's worth
so decisively the public would un-
doubtedly be interested in the parade.
and it would be a very interesting
show. This could be made an annual
| affair to mark the ending of the sea-
son.

.F:OOTPADs STRIKE
FROM BEHIND.

Fred E. Hutchinson, a salesman re-
siding at 1908 West street, Oakland,
was the victim of two footpads at 1880
o'clock yesterday morning at the corner
of Scott and .McAllister streets, and as
result is suffering the loss of SIS
as well as being taken to the Central
Hospital in an unconscious condition.
According to his story. Hutchinson had
escorted a woman home and was max
ing his way to a hotel when some one
struck him from behind. The blow rem
dered him unconscious. While he was
lying prostrate on the sidewalk the
thieves rified his pockets of SIS and
left his purse lying beside him
The injured man was taken to the
Central Emergency, where ii was as
certained that he was suffering from a
slight concussion of the brain Before
noon he recovered sufficiently to pro-
ceed TO his home in Oakland
The police are not satisfied with the
statements made by Hutchinson and are
still Investigating the case. Thursday
night Hutchinson took two young wo-
men to the Chutes, one of whom is said
TO be another's wife.

POLICE ARE AFTER
PRACTICAL JOKER
Will Arrest Individual Who
Sent Them on a Chase
After Mythical Dead Body

A practical joker with whom the DO
lice will deal roughly IL they can dis
cover his identity caused the morgue
authorities and city detectives to cali
at the home of Antono Figone, 1923 Ba.
ker street last night and demand the
corpse the joker had declared was se--
creted in the cellar
I have no corpse; try next door,
said Figone, who saw that he couid
not accommodate the officers with a
dead body but wished to do the best
he could.
Let us in demanded the police:
well find it,, and in spite of F'igone's
protestations of innocence they
searched his house from cellar Ia
garret.
They found no corpse. They left
the house and discovered, on return ~
headquarters, but some inane prac-
ttcal joker had te1ephoned a false .tit
to the police. The. man will be ar
rested and punished If his identity can
be established.

NEW YORK POoLROOM MEN
FEAR RAID BY THE POLICE
Bookies Believe That Mayor Mcclellan
Will Seek Revenge Because of
His Treatment by suIIfvauS

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-It was hard
to get down a bet today without going
to the racetrack. The poolroom men
with one consent took a holiday this
afternoon and were far from
their lairs. There was no tip abroad
warning them to lie low, but fully 100
poolrooms were shut tight. The out
side bookies had an idea that the
swing of the Sullivan faction from the
Mayors to the Hearst camp would be
followed by reprisals on all interests
with which big Tim was supposed to
be associated The Mayor today was

PUTS UP DESPERATE FIGHT.
Il was palpsbIe TO the spectators that
Hanlon could not go much farther. His
seconds worked heroically over him. but
Il was evident he had but little
strength left. When the bell sent them
-o~ethe- for the thirteenth and last
round Hyland at once sent a left hook
u the jaw and rushed Hanlon 10 the
ropes, landing right and left repeatedly.
Under tho fierce onslaught Hanlon
slipped 10 the floor. He took advantage

but this did not stop the rush of his
opponent Hanlon fought with dying
desperation. lashing out with right and
LEFT in vain effort TO land on his
opponent
Hyland landed several hard rights to
the jaw, but there was not sufficient
power in them to stop Hanlon. The
latter was quickly rushed to the ropes
again and received severe punishment.
He made another wild rally. and the
crowd -cheered him All this time Hy
land was cool He was waiting to land

Hanlon had no defense. and Referee
Jack Welch appealed several times to
his seconds to toss up the sponge and
thus save their man Unnecessary pun
) ishment They seemed 10th to do this,
although Hanlon was getting weaker
and had no chance Of winning.
When the bell sounded the end OF the
round the. referee exercised his privi-
lege and awarded the fight TO Hy1and
Hanlon was assisted to his conner by
his seconds. He was the picture of an
exhausted athlete. ~Hyland walked over
70 Hsnlon's corner and the rival boxers
shook hands. The defeated man patted
the victor on the back, mutely con-
graduating him. r
FIGHT LACKING IN CLASS.
The fight was absolutely without
class. but the lack OF this quality was
made up by the desperate determination
OF the little men. who were never idle
for a moment from first 10 last. There
was no stylish boxing, no feintfng, and
neither blocking nor dhcl1lng, but. every
moment was filled with action. Hanlor
foolishly played into the hands OF his
opponent by mixing II from the start II
was the same Kind OF fight that Britt
made with Nelson at Coima. Instead
OF trying TO keep hrs opponent away
from him Banlon stood up close and ex-

changed blow for blow. He seemed
overanxious. while Hyland was cool and
apparently confident of the outcome of
the battle.
The men stood head to head round
after round and peppered one another
on the body, the blows at times re-
sounding throughout the building. Hy-
lands most effective blow was right
10 the kidneys. Early in the fight Han
Ions back grew livid from the repeated
visitations of his opponents glove
Hanlon tried this kicney punch, but his
blows were not well placed and lost
their effect.
Hyland has much to learn before he
can be considered in the first flight
of the lightweights. He has strength
vitality and hitting power. but he does
not know how to use the latter. He
seems absolutely lacking in the class
which marks the work of so finished
a boxer as Cans. If he develops the
necessary class he will beat many OF
the boys except those at the top of the
lightweight division.
HANLoN HAS GONE BACK.
He did all that was asked of him las
night, but in beating Hanlon he die
not beat the popular Californian at his
best. It was obvious that Hanlon hac

llce consequent upon MS IeW appear

to accommodate all the spectato whc

There was confusion on the MAR
