GYPSIES QUARREL
OVER GIRL QUEEN
ANCIENT FEUD RESULTS IN AR.
REST OF ELEVEN
Father and Husband Clash Over
Ponies Given for Gay Zlngarl
Bride-Peace of Mission
Road invaded

supposed quarrel over the posses
sion of a pretty little gypsy queen at
the encampment In Mission road, yes
terday morning, resulted in the arrest
of eleven swarthy Zinsaris. Five gave
ball. the others were locked UP in the
city Jail on a charge of disturbing
the peace.
About two months ago a feud began
bstween Mark Leon and Pierre Thomp-
son, over the possession of the lovely
daughter of Thompson, the story goes
1t is said Leon offered to pay $1,000 in
barter to Thompson for the blushing
Maria and after a long conference
Thompson gave his consent.
There was gypsy wedding. The
bride jumped over the broomstick In
approved fashion and was led to the
tent of Leon.
A little later trouble arose, it Is
said, because Leon had failed to give
the number of horses he had promised
for his bride.
A desperate fight ensued, the police
say, and group of nomads were taken
to the police station Finding it i'm
possible to fathom the rights of the
parties, the prosecuting attorney did
not issue any complaint at the time.
The same bone of contention caused
the disturbance of yesterday, the police
say
The encampment is in Mission road
A number of gaudily painted wagons
are grouped in field, with dingy
tents pitched in circle. Ponies are
tethered nearby
The gypSies wander about the city
telling fortunes and among them all
Maria Leon has borne the title of
queen" because Of her success in win
ming money from the persons she has
Interviewed.
She represented valuable asset in
the eyes of her thrifty father and when
Leon is said to have failed in his pay
ments Thompson demanded that his
daughter be returned to him as there
were plenty of suitors eager to pay well
for the handsome sixteen-year-old
queen.
About o'clock Patronmen Ditewig
and Sherman of the east side sub-sta-
ton arrested five of the gypsies, who
furnished bail of $25 each.
The alleged disturbance was sup
posed to be over but two hours later
the smoldering fires broke out afresh
and Patrolman Mcdowell was sent to
the scene of combat and arrested six
more of the tribe, who were locked UP
in the city jail on charges of disturbing
the peace.
Among them were Mark Leon and his
pretty wife, Maria. She was clad in
silks of many hues and bore herself
proudly as became her station.
When the police photographer asked
her to sit for her picture. she showed
her pearly teeth and smiled bewitch-
ingy while the picture was taken OF
her charms.
All of the gypsies will he in court
this morning. They will form a pic
turesque group, but Maria, the queen
will outshine them all.

BOGUS BILL PASSERS

PALMED OFF AT SALOONS AND
LODGING HOUSES
Police Are Making Desperate Efforts
to Round Up the Gang Which Is
"FIoating" Confederate Georgia
State Bills

Los Angeles police are making ener-
getic efforts to locate everyone found
with bogus bills and within tens days
three men have been arrested, having
In their possession Georgia state bills.
One of the men pleaded guilty to a
charge of intoxication and is now serv-
ing a sentence OF thirty days in the
city Jail.
Two others are in jail awaiting trial
on charge of conspiracy to defraud.
The prosecuting attorney admits IL is
hard to obtain sufficient evidence in
such cases to secure a conviction.
The bills are drawn on the Merchants
and Planters bank OF Georgia and be-
cause of their thinness are pasted to-
gether. They easily escape detection,
especially among an ignorant class
The methods employed in passing
them is to engage a room at some lodg-
ing house and offer to pay for a week S
rent in advance. One of the bogus bills

BY Associated Press
MARBLBHEAD, Mass, Sept. 2.-,To
promote good feeling between the
American and German people, TO IN
crease the interest in International rae
ing and to enable yachtsmen OF moder-
ate means to engage in the sport, are
the objects which the Eastern Gacht
club of Boston and the German em-
peror hope to attain by the series OF
races which will begin tomorrow IN
Massachusetts, bay between yachts
representing the two countries.
The incentive is a massive bowl for
which President Roosevelt stands as
sponsor and which is offered by the
Eastern Yacht club. Next year 1t IS
believed that Emperor William Will be
the donor of the trophy when the races
are sailed at KieL
The German asprants or challengers

TWO GAMES WON
IN THE NINTH
RIVERAS AND kEYSToNES ARE
VlCToRS
Many Errors and Great Excitement
Mark Contests of the South-
ern California Amateur
League

Rivera and Keystone baseball teams
turned the tricks at Chutes park yes
terday afternoon, the Hoegees and
Hamburgers taking the losing end OF
two exciting games.
Both contests resulted in an up
heaval as the winning teams appeared
short enders at the opening of the
ninth innings. Batting rallies turned
the tide at the last moment and the
closing moments resulted in a rousing
exhibition of roofing as the hangerson
won out.
The final game created the most ex-
citement. and though the Hambursers
made nine hits and fielded perfectly
they lost to the Keystones, whose error
column shows six misplays mixed with
four hits.
Hartman for the Hams pitched fast
ball and held the Keys safe to the final
round.
The Hoegee-Rivera game witnessed
ten errors, but the squirt of the Rivera
boys which netted five runs in the
ninth inning with the score against
them partially shadowed the circus
column.

YACHTS WILL RACE TODAY
FOR THE ROOSEVELT CUP

els Adams of the Quincy Yacht club;
tn Caramba, owned by G. IT. Foster OF
the Eastern Yacht club, and the Vim,
owned by Commodore Trenor Liver
pool Of the American Yacht club OF
New York All six yachts are the PICK
of the big fleets on either side OF the
ocean.
The races will he sailed off Half Way
Rock. off the norther shore Of Massa-
chusetts bay. At least FIVE races viii
he sailed. and the Roosevelt cup will go
10 the owner Of the yacht who first
wins three races or wins the fifth race
Of the series.
The event is the first match between
yachtsmen of this country and any
country of continental Europe, and as
such marks a. new era In the sport 1t
Is different from any other match ever
held in one vital respect, namely:
The competing boats are built and
the races sailed under the rules of the
visiting club. This gives the visitors
an advantage that will go long way
toward compensating for any handicap
that they may suffer from racing In
strange waters I'm a strange country.
Again the type of boats is a familiar
one In Germany, but an entirely new
one to the American designers and the
outcome will be watched with great
interest to see whether the Yankee de-
signer and builder without previous
trial has turned out boat which is
faster than his German competitor.
The restrictions are that the yachts
must be built with the total length of
the water line, beam and draught not
over thirty-two feet. the sail area
not over $50 square feet and the weight
Of the boats not more than 4035 pounds.
The American yachts average 36.S over
ALL and 91.41 feet on the water line.
The German yachts average 1922 feet
over all and 20.5O feet on the water line.
The course will be alternately trian-
gular or windward and leeward.
