BABIES REIGN,
As DO ATHLETES
FIVE THOUSAND CATHOLICS
ATTEND REUNION
Women Actively Engaged In Races for
Prizes-Running, Rowing and
Other Contests Held on
the Beach

Five thousand Catholics picnicked at
Playa del Rey yesterday and baby was
king of the day.
To be sure there were swimming
contests and running contests and
rowing contests, and a dozen other
contests, but these all fade into OBJ
scurity in comparison with the baby
contest.
There were babies with blue eyes
and babies with brown eyes and some
who had eyes of gray. There were
babies with dark hair and babies with
fair hair, and some that had no hair
at all.
For every baby there was a fond
mother who was perfectly confident
that hers is the most beautiful baby
in the world.
Which baby of all these shall have
the prize?
That's what the judges had to decide,
and only four men who acted in that
capacity knew just what hard task
1t was.
Tiny Fllrts, Too
Some of the tiny girls with blue bows
In their hair even went so far as to
f1irt outrageously with the judges, thus
clustering those individuals beyond en-
durance.
In one class, where there was to be
only one prize, there were eventually
three, for the judges could not come
to any closer decision.
Once in a while a piercing cry
would rise above the gurgling and the
cooling, but it was always stilled in
a moment by an anxious mother with
sweetened nipple or thumb.
The baby show was held in the
auditorium and rows of chairs were
placed on the platform where the
mothers and their tiny ones sat in
state, while their sisters and their
brothers and their cousins and their
aunts looked on admiringly and ex-
planned the relative fine points Of the
ones in which they were interested.
The exercises were opened with an
address of welcome by the resident
priest, John w. Carrigan, and he in
troduced M. J. McGarry, who delivered
the oration of the day.
A hungry throng gathered at noon

MAY BE NO JOB FOR WILDE
Notwithstanding the Chief
Deputy's Absence

The penalty of a months vacation
without pay which was meted out to
Charles L. Wilde. chief deputy in the
Office of City Clerk Lelande, will ex-
pire September 1, and it was rumored
at the city hall yesterday that when Mr..
Wilde returns there may not be any
position for him to fill
City Clerk Lelande did not in
crease his force during Mr.. Wilde's
absence, and finding that the work of
his Office runs very smoothly with the
number of clerks he has, it is expected
he will recommend to the council the
abolishment of the office of chief dep
uty on the ground of economy This
office pays $156 a month, the highest
salaTied clerkship in the city govern
ment.
Wilde and Lelande have not been
on the best of terms for some time and
it is hinted that Mr.. Lelande would
welcome an opportunity to get rid of
Mr.. Wilde AS Wilde is civil service

competent to fill it.

At 1:30 o'clock the program of sports

STACKPOLE GETS
LIFE SENTENCE
.CO0LLY HEARS WORDS THAT
SETTLE HIS FATE
scheck's Murderer's Attorneys An
nounce Their Withdrawal From
the Case, but Will File Ap-
peal If Asked

without ever show of emotion and
with eyes glaring at the morbidly curl
Gus who watched him, Ernest G. Stack
pole, convicted of the murder of his
friend Joel Scheck, was yesterday taken
before Judge w. p. James in depart
ment one of the superior court and
there sentenced to serve life imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary at San
Quentin.
In the same manner he had fought his
case in court Stackpole faced the tnlsh,
defiant to the last and coolly Indifferent
to his fate.
Yesterday morning when the case was
called there was buzz. of excitement
from those who had arisen early in or
der to be in court and hear the life
sentence passed on Stackpole.
The prisoner neatly dressed. ap-
peared in court, followed by Deputy
Sheriff Harrington.
Attorney Fred Thompson and Attor-
ney Ackerman were there to receive
him, but the other three members of the
five who defended him did not appear
in court.
Last Appeal
Attorney Alderman read a stereo-
typed form of petition for new trial
on the ground that rulings in the case
had been improper, that the jury had
been guilty of misconduct and that
every other rule of law had been vio-
lated in the case.
1t was simply a form and when Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks was called
upon to answer the petition he only
shook his head and said that If the
court desired he could give Stackpole
another trial, that the district attor-
ney'S office was more than Willing to
give the man a new trial.
"TRt new trial., Whispered
Stackpole earnestly to one of his attor-
neyS.
What do you want new trial for
you may get your neck stretched next
time" came the reply.
"Well. it will be me. not you, who will
be hanged" came the despairing re-
tort.
Faces Judge
Judge James overruled the petition
and Stackpole was ordered to appear
before the judge.
He walked quietly forward with his
Jaw set and eyes staring straight be-
fore him.
While the court read the sentence cut
ting off his liberty for the rest of his
life the young man who had already
served two terms in a penitentiary an6
knew what it meant, maintained an all
of indifference and finally slouched back
Stackpole's attorneys announce theil
intention of Withdrawing entirely from
the case. They will, however, file no.
tice of appeal in case Stackpole should
some day get enough money to finance
an appeal.
Departs Tuesday
1t is stated, however, that StackpoIt
will leave his pleasant quarters at the
county Jail next Tuesday, and accom-.
panied by two guards start for the
grim walls of San Quentin.
Yesterday when he left the cour-
room and walked to the elevator he was
the picture of despair and not a worc
did he utter until he reached his eel
and conversed with the man in the
next tank

CHEAPER TO HAVE WATcHMEN
railroads Taking Action to Reduce
Morta IitY Among Foreiqners

The death rate among Italians and
other foreigners killed while working
on improvements and repairing of
tracks on railroads in the United States
has been so large recently that the
railroad companies are now taking ac-
ton to reduce mortality in this respect
To this end some of the roads are
employing watchmen whose duty it
shall be to watch for approaching
trains and to sound an alarm to get off
the track before the train is too close.
Heretofore it has undoubtedly been
less costly for the railroads to let the
men watch for themselves. But the
tendency of legislation, both national
and state, has been to make the rail-
roads pay for the loss of the lives of
their employees, even if death is due to
the negligence of another employe. 1t
does little good to have an ignorant
man sign an agreement with the rail-
road eXempting it from damages in
case of injury because this gives an
attorney an appeal to the tender mer-
cies of the jury
Consequently railroad companies
have come to the conclusion that it is
cheaper to have watchmen and reduce
the loss of life.

MEET WITH DUNN
ON SATURDAY
OWL CAR SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ARRANGES CONFERENCE
Some Form of AII-Nlght Service Prac-
tcaIIy Assured, but Reports
From Trolley Chiefs VIII
Settle 1t

definite time for the meeting of the
special "owl car" committee of the city
council with w. E. Dunn, Huntington s
right hand man, has at last been
settled.
The committe and Mr.. Dunn will meet
Saturday morning and at that time
the figures that have been prepared
the cost of operating cars will be sub
mitted.
No inkling of the ultimate result of
the meeting cam be secured from Mr..
Dunn. He does not propose to talk
until he has laid the facts and figures
before the committee That same kind
of a night car service will be forth
coming, however, is almost assured,
although it may be only one car on
each line an hour after the regular car
stops at 1890.
In discussing the various services
that could be put on between the last
car at night and the first one in the
morning, Mr.. Dunn has, on previous
occasions, expressed a preference for
owl cars at half hourly intervals to 2:3O
and hourly thereafter.
VIII Please Committee
If he will agree to this when he
meets the committee Saturday morn
ing, the members of the committee will
be we'll pleased and will feel that their
efforts have not been In vain.
Mr.. Dunn has always said, when ap-
preached on the subject of night SER
vice, that the service granted would
depend entirely on the cost. What this
cost will be he claims he is in no way
able to estimate, but referred that
question to the heads of the various
departments of the street car COM
panies which he represents to make es-
Inmates.
TITS not a question of losing money
although we feel sure the venture will
not pay" said Mr.. Dunn but we
cannot do 1T if 1t appears we are to
lose fortune on the proposition. We
will do what we can to accommodate
the public even at some cost to our
selves"
This is taken as assurance that owl
cars will be forthcoming.
