SAYS SON s BODY
WAS ROBBED

James Hallinan, whose son, Thomas
Hallinan, a printer. 80 years old. died
in saloon at 910 Folsom street last
Monday, went to police headquarters
last night and insisted on an investi-
cation being made TO determine what
had become of $3.50 in money and some
valuable papers which he claimed had
been found in the dead mans clothing.
When Hallinans death was reported
to the authorities Patrolman William
F. Moran was sent to the saloon in the
patrol wagon and assisted in having
the body removed to the morgue.
Hallinan's father applied at the
morgue later and was told that his
sons clothing had been burned. When
he asked for the property found in the
clothing he was told that nothing of
value had been on the dead mans per-
son.
The father insists that he cannot be
mistaken in knowing what was in his
sons clothing and that some one who
handled the body must be guilty of
robbery.

REPORTPROMOT|ON
Of MAJOR DEVOL

The rumor from Washington, D. c.,
that Major Carol A. Devol will proba-
bly, become quartermaster general of
the United States army early in the
coming year has caused much comment
in army circles here. 1t is reported
that his detail to that position has been
assured by the President, and it is un-
derstood that this action has been
taken on the recommendation of Secre-
tary Taft.
In order to elevate Major Devol to
this position 1t will be necessary for
Brigadier General Charles F. Hum
phrey to voluntarily retire. 1t is said
that this action has already been ar
ranged with the head of. the nation.
The promotion of Major Devol to the
office of quartermaster general would
elevate him over the heads of a num-
Der of eligible colonies and lieutenant
colonels who have been aspirants to be-
come the head of that corps. 1t is re-
ported that many Of these will ask to
be retired If the promotion of Major
Devol should be made as indicated.
Major Devol has been in charge of
the transport service for more than
four years.

AL Neill declares he would like to
hook up with Joe Thomas in a twenty
round bout. Thomas manager says he
will give Neill the opportunity IL he
can see suitable purse in sight.
The two main events on the Califor-
MIA Clubs card for Friday night at
Dreamland are of a high-class nature.
The feather-weight champion, Paul
Martini. will meet a clever and speedy
man In frankie Edwards. as was clear
ly proved by their recent four-round
draw. Rough House Billy Mcdonald,
the welter-weight champion, has a
hard puncher and game boxer to dis
pose of in Harry Riley.
The feathers are extremely clever
with their dukes, Martini being consid-
cred about the shiftiest boxer in the
city. The welters, however, are slug
gers and depend solely on their STAN
Ina and superior hitting powers to
land the winners end of the purse.
In addition to these two fights there
Will be four others between the pick of

HODCARR|ER LOSES
HIS EYESIGHT

Blindness is the penalty J. Hartling
must pay for becoming intoxicated and
attempting to work while in that con-
dition. He was employed as hod-
carrier and in mixing mortar yesterday
he fell into the steaming box of lime
and sand, and before he could be res
cued his face and hands were horribly
burned.
Hartling was imm ediately taken to
the Central Emergency Hospital and
doctors and nurses did all in their
power to relieve the awful agony he
was enduring. His face and hands
were frightfuIly scalded. and an eXami-
nation proved to the doctors that the
man will never be able to see again,
his eyes being forever ruined. He was
working on a building being con-
structed at Pine and Kearny streets
when the accident happened, and it is
said that he had been drinking heavily.
The authorities were unable to learn
last night where the man lives

TROUBLE IN SIGHT
FOR FOOTBALL
PLAYERS

The executive committee OF the CALI
fornia Association Football League will
hold a meeting this evening at 423
Golden Gate avenue. 1t will be one OF
the most interesting meetings ever
held by the league. for the games
played so far this season may all be
thrown out. The trouble is all over the
registration.
1t Is claimed that all but one of the
clubs have played men in the games
that have not taken out registration
cards This is to be the basis OF the
protests that will be made at the meet
ing. At the last meeting. which w6S
just before the hrst Sundays schedule
games, the committee extended the time
for registration over the time for the
first game. But since then some OF the
clubs have failed 10 send in the names
Of the players who have been on the
field
One case In point was the game be-
tween the Albion Rovers and the Oak
land Hornets. Elliott Of the Hornets
was refused an amateur card pending
ing. Charles Mimic. chairman of the
registration committee, was on the field
and told the club not to play Elliott
The Hornets and the Rovers decided to
play the match with Elliott in the line
up. This is likely to put all the players
IN that match on the suspended list IL
the committee follows out the ruling in
other amateur organizations. The teams
have violated the rules of the higher
authorities.

have not proved as lucrative from a
box office standpoint as they did in the
past.
From the receipts Of the fights held
last Friday. night at Dreamland Pavil-
ion, which amounted to less than $4,000,
which is less money than the weekly
amateur bouts are drawing, 1t would
indicate that the managers are largely
responsible for the poor returns.
Jimmy Britt will be one-half the card
for this months show if a suitable op-
ponent can be secured for>him. This is
the month that Willis picks the boxers
and he wants to make a better showing
in selecting an attraction than the op-
posing members of the trust He is
angling for Dick Hyland, Aurelio Her
rera or Willie Fitzgerald. the latter,
as will be remembered, hooked up with
Britt about two years ago and nearly
gave the local boy his quietus in the
second round by singing over a right
to the jaw, which nearly brought home
the money. Fitzgerald has been fight
ing well in the East and he is an ex-
ceedingly dangerous opponent against
any man, as he possesses a right hand
of sleep-producing qualities.
Hyland would prove g good opponent
for Britt, as he is young and vigorous
and would give good line on Britt's
form as to whether he is on the decline.
The matter of weight may keep the box
ers apart, as Hyland's manager insists

Arino, the Fauorite, Is Defeated
BY Hollands Good Mudder
ON Cogan Captures
First SteepIechdse
of the Season

Los ANGELES. Dec. s.-Showers at
frequent intervals and mud everywhere
could not keep the crowd from Ascot
this afternoon, and there was a large
gathering to see the two features Of
the card, the handicap for two-year-
olds over the Futurity course and the
first steeplechase OF the season. Those
who ventured out were rewarded, for
the leapers cleared the jumps without
spill and the well-played good thing
won the handicap.
While the jumpers in the opening
event called for a good play 1t was not
until the fourth race that the crowd
was served with the piece de resist
snce. Six crack two-year-olds went
out when the bugle called and they
we're all well fancied in the ring. Arimo
had first call at the posting Of the bet
ting. but when the money began to
pour IN II was found that the educated
ones were sticking their Sreenbacks
on Colonel Jack, Hollands good mud
der.
Until the last furlong it looked very
much like Airs, for she took an early
command and held II until well
straightened for home. Here the Colo
mel running like a gallant Kentuckian,
went by Airs like shot and was an
easy winner. Arimo, the favorite,
managed TO get along and nab the
short end OF things.
Tom Cogan. odds-on favorite at post
time. captured the first jump race Of
the season in handy fashion. Cogan
was well placed until the sixth jump,
where he made a move and had no diff
fculty in being in front at the final OBJ
stacle, which lead he held until the
end. William Parrish was the upset Of
the race, for he finished second, in front
OF Cazador. the second choice.
Two-year-old platers lined UP for the
second number on the card, and Nappa
proved the best Of the lot. Lord Nelson
ran second. while St Or, despfsed by
the wise ones, managed to get up in
time to show.
Uncle Henry was a heavily played
favorite in the third race, but this fact
did not stop Ila, the second choice, from
coming on after being badly messed
around and winning the money. Uncle
was second and Ruth W was third,
with the others still running.

MARRIES TO SAVE MAN
WHO TRIED TO KILL HER
Sadie TrOehmel Weds William johnson
fn Jail TO Avoid Having to Tes-
tify Against Him.

Sadie Troehmel, the girl who on Oc-
tober % was shot by William Johnson,
because of his jealousy of her, married
the man yesterday in the Bush street
police station and will thus probably
save him from going to the peniten-
tiary, for wife cannot be compelled
to give evidence against her husband.
The shooting of the woman took
place in dive on Pacific street. Al
though it was believed at the time
that she would not live, she absolutely
refused to give a dying statement Of
the affair. as she wanted to protect
him. If she had died. Johnson would
probably have been hung or imprisoned
for life. The marriage, it is believed,
Will lessen the desire on the part of
the courts to punish him.
