Communication dated June 21 has just

While your letter promises considera-

terested in her commerce. in her re-
habilitation, in her growth and future
development. to lay aside for moment
every feeling of resentment or of per-

material and with more widespread
suffering and misery than we have at

without criticising or impugning any
statements or suggestions In your let

adjust your differences through a fair
committee of arbitration? The stronger
and more just you believe your present
position to be. the more will your ac-
ton be applauded by discriminating

trust therefore that your consideration
of my suggestions will be short and
favorable and that you will meet me at

Desmond Is Forced to
Retreat From the
Preside.
Captain H. 7. Ferguson
Showers Refugees
With Bread.
Unfortunates Joyful at
the Sudden Change
in Affairs.

There is joy among the refugees in
the two camps on the Preside and also
among those located on Fort Mason.
Desmond has been forced to retreat
with his soup kitchens from the res
eryation. and the refugees are now
absolutely under military control 1t
was bloodless battle, but after il was
over the refugees were showered with
bread.
In view of the fact that the army
officers and soldiers will be withdrawn
from the permanent camps throughout
the city on July l, General Greely found
it necessary TO make an exception in
regard TO the camps on the military
reservations. He had no desire to
move these refugees to other camps at
this time, but felt that as military rule
would be applied to them that he could
save lot of pickering and dissatis-
faction by placing the commissary de-
partment of the army in charge of the
cook kitchens and subsistence. The
army will feed the refugees and be
paid for the supplies necessary out OF
the funds now in the hands of the re-
lief committee and the Red Cross So
ciety
The refugees were not aware of the
change until yesterday morning. when
they fled into the kitchens in camps
1 and for breakfast They found a
complete change had come over the
place in one night, and while the food
that had been served up by Desmond
in these kitchens had been much better
than was being served in other camps
about the city, the change was well
come.
The refugees were agreeablly sur
prised when Government wagons halt
ed at each kitchen laden with big and
fresh loads of bread. Soldiers handed
loaves to all who would take them. AS
more than 1000 We're distributed. 1t is
safe TO say that few refused To those
who have been cooking their own little
meals in tents the fine fresh loaves of
bread were a godSend.

things right" said one woman, "and
there will be little room for complaint

fire, and / guess many in the outside
camps will be anxious to get in here.
There is no chance. however. for
any more people to get into the reser-

more refugees were issued over a week
ago.

kitchens in camps l and 3 1t is pos
sible that the refugees on the Fort
Mason reservation will be moved to the
Presidio-
1t is estimated that there are $4,000
people still camping around the city.
In the permanent camps alone, those
camps controlled at present by the mil
itary. there are 1857 people. This
does not include the refugees in the
Presidio. Fort Mason. Columbia. Alamo
and other squares and vacant lots.

SOME SUGGESTIONS IN SPACE.
The Sun. the Earth and the Fixed Stars
and Their Distances.

Only by reducing all the vast dis
tances and dimensions to a minute
scale can the mind realize the futility
of ever compromising the illimitable
distances of space. In order to con-
slider the attitude Of the earth in re-
lation to the sun and the nearest fixed
STOW we will reduce the suns diameter
Of $4,000 miles to the dimensions of a
ball one inch In diameter; the earth re-
duced to the same scale would he
speck less than one one-hundredth of
an inch In diameter; perforation in
paper made by the finest cambria
needle would represent this minute
speck. the earth. Following this scale.
we should place this speck nine feet
from the inch ball, this distance repre-
sentins 93.000.000 Of miles. the earth's

its constant rain of meteoric dust, an

planets are literally punched together.

Schumacher, the Los Angeles pho
tographer for $3.50.
Schumacher could do nothing with
the mare, as she absolutely refused
to De driven. After she broke couple
OF carts, Schumacher determined to
get rid Of Lady Rivers at any cost.
But no one wanted the high-strung
mare.
The Schumacher family own prop
erty on Spring street, Los Angeles,
and employed colored man named
Billy Smart to carry away the refuse
at 81 per week.
FRANK Schumacher told Smart that
ne would give him Lady Rivers II b
ne would give him Lady Rivers IL he

but said that he would take the mare
provided that she be bred to some
stallion.

macher saved $50 and Smart got
Sweet Marie, as that was the result
OF the mating of Mckinney and LADY
Rivers.
Smart kept Sweet Marie in pasture
until she was years old, at which
time she was broken.
In the fall Smart turned her over
to a colored trainer named Sam
washington. She showed mile in
2:26 IL. and was purchased by Milo
NJ Potter, the we'll known hotel man.
He drove her at the matinee races
held at Agricultural park for a couple
of years.
Potter finally decided to sell all his
light harness horses, including Sweet
Marie. Garand. the present owner,
was the purchaser of Sweet Marie.
paying $53.15 for the daughter of
Mckinney.
sweet Marie was big-gaited mare
and slow to get into her stride at
that time, and Potter is entitled to
the greatest credit for the develop
ment OF Sweet Marie. 1t required six
months of hard work after she could
trot mile in 2.15 before she could
make the first quarter in better than
:35.
Potter had her worked with Prim-
rose (2:10), and before the sale sh.
could get away in such good style
that she showed two miles in 2:12 and
2:12 1-2.
That is the early history of Sweet
Marie, the queen of all harness mares.
and who has been invincib;e on the
grand circuit this year.
Sweet Marie made her first profess.
sional start in 1903 at Seattle, where
she captured several races. Then
came the memorable race at the Ore
gon state fair at Salem, where she
was beaten by DR.. Hammond, owing
to the refusal of Durfee to start Ma

Alec Jones' Waist Measure.

In Cincinnati Manager Jones told
why pitcher Alec Jones Is not with
the bisons this season. Mr.. Stallings
wrote Jones letter informing him
that he must report in condition, but
as Alec did not reply to the latter,
Manager Stallings did not send him a
contract. Jones is a good pitcher, but
is in class by himself when it comes
to laziness. He just will not train,
and was never in good condition when
member of the Buffalo team.
Manager Stillings told this amusing
story on Jones:
Last year Jones had one OF the big
gest belts, into which he could just
squeeze The first night l got it and
cut of the first hole. He did not no.
tice the deception next day, and after
bitter struggle with himself, man
aged to wriggle in. l cut of another
hole next night. 1t was sight to
watch Alec the next day. He couldn't
make it. He then finally counted the
spaces and then it dawned upon him
that he had been trifled with. but l
don't think he ever knew who re-
duced his waist measure"
