Damage TO Wheat,

During the recent hot weather in
which blasts of hot wind from the
north were an attendant feature, it is
reported that considerable grain was
injured in this section. It is certain
that the wheat crop of the entire coun-
try was damaged. though in some To-
calities it was more severe than in
others. The conservative estimate of
loss 10 fall grain in the Athena wheat
raising district is placed at from
three to five bushels per acre. with
much greater loss 10 the spring grown
crop. In many sections it is report
ed that there will be a loss of 10 BUSH

CATHOLIC SOCIETY

One OF the most pleasing entertain
ments during the present season was
that given last night in Dolores Hall
by San Francisco Council, knights of
Columbus. It-was an open, free-for-all
show for the members of the order in
general and their friends. The pro-
gramme presented was one of high
order.
The meeting was called to order by
Thomas Welsh, grand lecturer, who, in
a few words. stated that 1t was not an
evening for speech making, but one for
relaxation from care and for recrea-
tion- He expressed the hope that all
would enjoy the programme that had
been prepared and would leave the hall
with the kindliest feelings for the
knights of Columbus He then intro
duced Jack" Cunningham as the sire
of the jinks. The sire did not waste
time, but presented number after num-
ber, declaring an occasional short re-
to pass around refreshments. cob pipes,
tobacco, cigars, stogies and cigarettes.
The programme was made up of in
strumental and vocal selections, reci-
tations. good stories and monologues.

do that each was compelled to give an

CAUSE PROTEST.

FORT RILEY, Kans., Nov. 1S.-Alex,
ander Ash, Taylor Stonemire and
Robert Jones, privates of Troop C,
Ninth Cavalry, at Fort Riley, were dis
charged today because they belonged
to the battalion of the Twenty fifth
Infantry that was stationed in Browns
vile, Texas, at the time of the riot.
The men were discharged from the
Twenty-f1 fifth Infantry at the expiration
Of their term of enlistment after the
Brownsville riot and re-enlisted for SER
vice in the Ninth Cavalry, also negro
regiment.
WASHINGTON. Nov 1s-The War
Department mails are heavy with let
ters protesting against the discharge
without honor of the three companies
of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, colored.
Most of the letters originate in Massa-
chusetts, but nearly every section of
the country is represented. They can
be of no avail now, 1t is said, because
the action was taken by direction of
the President, who alone can relieve
the severity of the order.
Most of the communications, accord
ing to the department, reveal ignorance
of important facts connected with the
case, so Acting Secretary Oliver has
ordered the printing in pamphlet form
of the report of Colonel Bixby, who
made the original investigation into
the rioting at Brownsville last August
by some of the members of the Twen-
ty-fifth Infantry, as we'll as the further
report of Inspector General Darlington.
These pamphlets will be supplied to
the correspondents.

States HARBORs
To BE THEME.

The sixth semi-annual meeting of the
counties committee of the California
Promotion Committee will be held at
San Diego Saturday. December 10 next,
and will have for the theme of discus
sion, The Harbors of California"
Owing to the Importance of the work
to be done in this connection it is ex-
pected that there will be a large at
tendance Of representatives of the
commercial organizations of the State.
Prominent speakers will be present,
who will give many valuable hints re-
garding harbor Improvement and will
tell what is needed to make California
the great maritime power she is des-
tined to become.
At this meeting the Importance of
the harbors to the whole State will be
shown by men who have made study
of the subject of the political economy
of harbors, and the special needs of in
dividual harbors will form the subject
of speakers who fully understand the
requirements of their particular parts
of the State.
The usual reduced rates will be
given from all parts of California on
all railroads and steamship lines. 1t is
hoped that the meeting will be one to
which no commercial organization in
the State can afford to neglect sending
a representative.
The California Promotion Committee
is desirous of obtaining the names of
persons interested in California and
requests that everybody in the State
who has friends or acquaintances any
where In the world to whom they would
like literature sent or letters written
regarding conditions in California, send
the names and addresses of such per-
sons to the California Promotion Com
mittee, Union Square, San Francisco
Letters will be written them, stating
at whose instance, and literature will
be sent telling about California and its
advantages.

that Harry Foley is going slowly.
Another effort was made yesterday to
secure Joe Walcott. but Billy Pierce.

impossible for him to fight here this

reach him personally today. 1t is
thought Pierce has some match in sight
for him In the East.

BAKERSFIELD SHOWS SORROW.
Flags Are at Half Mast ON Public and
Private Buildings.

BAKERSFIELD, Nov. .13.-The body
of General Shafter, escorted by Captain
Winnie of Lieutenant General MacAr-
thurs staff and accompanied by rela-
tives, will leave this city tomorrow
night at 11:40 o'clock on the Southern
Pacific Owl train.
The remains will leave the McKit-
trick ranch in the afternoon and will
be escorted by the local G. A r. and
Spanish War Veterans, Company G.,
Sixth Regiment, State militia. and the
Masons to this city. They will lie in
state until train time.
Bakersfield is showing her sorrow at
the death of Shafter. Flags on all pub
lie and private buildings are at half
mast and banks and enterprises In
which the General and Captain McKit-
trick hold interests have closed their
doors.
The War Department was notified
yesterday afternoon by Captain McKit-
trick of General Skaters death. and
last night and today kilograms from
many army and naval officers were re-
ceived. Major Generals Corbin and Bar
ry and Rear Admiral Chadwick were
among those who sent words of SYM

midable opponent, and Harry Foley,
who has been cautious in the
matches he has made for Thomas In
the past, is anxious to avoid making
a mistake by taking on a man who
is SO much larger than his protege.
If Sullivan will come down to 154
pounds 1t is believed the match could
be made without delay. although at
that weight Foley would not know
whether he had made good match or
a hard one until he saw the Boston
man go a few rounds in the ring with
Thomas. The match, if made, would be
a big betting affair, as 1t would be
difficult to figure out the chances of
the rival boxers.
Tt is an old axiom of the ring that a
match well made is half won For sew
eral years Joe Cans weight was puz-
zle to many people. In this way he was
able to keep opponents in the dark as
to what he could fight at. and thus was
able to make favorable terms for him
self. Kid Lavigne thought Mysterious
Billy Smith could not fight at 142
pounds, and made a match with him at
that figure. Smith was as strong as
lion and beat the Saginaw man so
badly that the latter's brother jumped

WIFE SC0RNS ALL
HIS HOMES.

There isn't any place In the country
that quite suits the taste of Ellen L.
Nichols for a permanent abode, or If
there is, her husband, Dana L. Nichols,
has been unable to find it. Nichols was
granted divorce yesterday by Judge
Graham and he secured it on a showing
that all his efforts to provide a home
for his wife were met by her steadfast
refusal to join him in any of the places
selected. Nichols is now clerk for a
local packing company and his wife
continues to clerk in an office in New
York City, where they were married on
June Z. 1899
Nichols declared that at the time Of
their marriage he procured fine apart
ments at 200 West Twenty fourth
street in New York City but that his
bride refused to share them with him.
Then he went to Florida and wrote to
her TO join him there, but she refused
to consider the proposition. From Flor
ida Nichols went to Arizona and then
came to California, writing each time
he moved for his wife, but her refusals
continued as they had begun. Nichols
at last gave up in despair and took his
troubles into court.
Josephine Kent has brought suit for
divorce against Dr. Richard W. Kent,
a well-known physician and surgeon,
accusing him of willful desertion and
failure to provide. DIR. and Mrs. Kent
were married in San Francisco on Oc-
tober "a, 1900, and the alleged deser-
ton occurred April II, 1904 The plain
tiff claims that her husband earns more
than $3.50 a month through his prac-
tice and that he is the owner of prop
erty in Tuoloumne, from which he de-
rives an income of S112 a month She
asks $50 a month alimony 500 for
counsel fees and s25 for costs of her
suit

Rose A. Konig from Charles F. Konig
by Judge Graham for extreme cruelty;

ance; Florentine Arndt from Johann

CANS SAYS FIGHT
PICTURES ARE
DOCTORED.
SPECIAL p1spArcH TO THE GALL.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 1s.-Joe Cans.
lightweight champion of the world,
who is doing a theatrical turn at a
local playhouse this week, startled
sporting circles today with the state
ment that the fight pictures of the
Gans-Nelson battle at Goldfield are
badly 'doctored' and do not give any
thing like true picture of the fight.
Cans gave out the statement when
he was shown a recent interview with
Billy Nolan, manager for Nelson,s say
Ing that Cans was afraid to fight the
Dane again and that the pictures told
why.
II have stood about all of this non
sense that I intend to-" said Cans, "and
1 will now say something that should
quiet Nolan and his four-1ushing near
champion for while.
The fight pictures that are being
shown all over the country as the real
pictures of the first twenty and the
last six rounds of my fight with Nelson
are doctored out of all shape and do
not in any way tell the real story of
the battle. This is especially true of
the last six rounds. If Nolan denies
this I Will post forfeit of $1,000 that
1 can prove what I say is true"

Dave would come back and put Hugo
