BUCK" FRANCIS IS
TRADED FOR
BASSEY

OAKLAND. Dec. 6.-"Buck' Francks,
the agile shortstop Of Van Haltrens
team, has been traded for J. Bassey, an
outfelder who has made a reputation
for consistent batting and fast base
running while a member of the Omaha
aggregation Of ball tossers. The local
management has not decided where
Bassey Will be played, but it is thought
Jimmy Smith viii be kept as utility
man next season, with Heitmuller In
right and Bassey in Kruger's stand in
the left garden.
However, Buck" declares himself as
dissatisfied with the prospect of being
sent to Omaha, and though he asked
70 be traded he also wants to name the
club. 1t is possible that the Omaha
people will be compelled to make an
other trade for Bucks" benefit, but
sn any case Oakland seems TO be sure
OF Bassey's services for the coming
Ellrumer.

LEAGUE DIRECTORS
IN SESSION AT
LOS ANGELES
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

Los ANGELES. Dec 6.-The Pacific
/ Coast League directors marched up
the hill today and then marched down
again, or, in other words, they did
nothing but receive Treasurer Cal
Ewing's annual report and refer it to
committee. The annual meeting was
to have been held this morning al
II o'clock, but the train from San
/ Francisco on which were Ewing, Bert
Dan Long and Walter was late. When
the directors met in the afternoon Ew-
ing submitted his report.
The magnates here for the meeting
are Agnew and Russ Hall of Seattle,
Judge McCreedie and D. L. Shepard
of Portland, Cal Ewing of San Fran
cisco. E. n. Walter of Oakland and DR..
Burk, William Toomy and Happy
Hogan of Fresno.
At the meeting this afternoon an
application was received from Salt
Lake to be taken into the league with
the understanding that Spokane, Butte
and other mountain towns would come
in if asked to in order to round out a
northwest circuit. This scheme was
turned down, Captain Ewing stating
that the league did not desire to ex-
pand.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
directors Of the local club said the past
week that they knew nothing of any
slate having been fixed UP, Cal Ewing
brought one out when he opened up
his grip today at noon, and of course
it will go through, for Cal comes very
close TO running the league.
Ewing's slate is Eugene Bert for
president, Senator "Corney' Pendleton
for vice president and Danny Long for
ecretary-treasurer. Danny Long and
Secretary Anderson came down with
the San Francisco delegation, Ander-
son to resign his Office and Long to
accept it when the formality of voting
was through with. The directors will
meet again tomorrow morning at $50
o'clock to finish the business mapped
out today.
is hard to guess, for the directors re-
fuse to talk about the situation. 1t
need not surprise any one, however, if
Stockton, San Jose or Sacramento takes
the place of Fresno.
The umpires will probably be "BulP'
Perrine Mahaffey and Derrick, and
the season will doubtless be the same
as last year.
Concerning the amount of money re-
ceived by the league for the various
Eastern clubs after the earthquake the
treasurer said that the report that the
leagues had subscribed $4,000 might
have been correct, but that he re-
ceived much less than that sum and
that If the directors of the coast league
were satisfied with his statement Of
the receipts the public should be sat
isfed.
According to the threats of former
Manager Jim Morley of the Los An
geles club, the election of Bert may
start something in coast baseball cir
cles, for Morley threatens dire ven
geance on some one If Bert is elected.
He declared that he was very positive
there would be opposition baseball on
the coast if Bert was elected. The
league directors, however, don't seem
to be losing any sleep over these
threats, and they intend to elect Bert
tomorrow, opposition or no opposition.

AMEND SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Only south American and Orienta
Trade to Get Benefits

WASHINGTON. Dec 6.-Compromise
on the ship subsidy bill seems to be
in sight. At the meeting of the House
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries today Chairman Grosvenor
suggested an amendment to the Gal
Iinger bill which will limit subsidies
to the South American and Oriental
trade. The amended bill will be in
harmony with Secretary Roots policy
for trade extensions as outlined in re-
cent speeches In the West.
Representative Watson of Indiana,
the Republican whip. expressed the
opinion that the committee could get
a favorable report on a bill limiting
the subsidies to Latin-American and
Oriental lines.

Bill for Drawback on Material
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Representa-
tive Kahn is making an effort to have
his bill providing for a drawback on
building material to be used in San
Francisco favorably acted upon by the
committee ways and means of the
House. Kahn wishes the committee
to grant hearing that the members
may learn of the pressing necessity for
some such action. Chairman Payne in
formed Kahn that while the Boston
fire case presented itself as a serious
obstacle to granting a drawback to
San Francisco, yet he would endeavor
at least to arrange for a hearing.
Kahn will go to New York Tuesday
evening TO address the Credit Men 8
Association on the Japanese question.

ESTATE OF MYSTERIOUS MINER
Nebraska Relatives of the Late Peter

Contest Alleged VIII.

MEETEETsE. wye. Sept 3o.-(speoialo
Relatives from Nebraska and perhaps
other states are expected here october 10.
to contest the alleged will of the late
Henry Weimer the mysterious miner
who recently died at Kirwin. At the time
of his death the whereabouts OF Weimer's
relatives were unknown, he having lived
here since the early sos without receiv-
ing mail or acknowledging relative.
Since the publication of his death and the
fact that weimer left some valuable min
ing property at Camp Kirwin. several
letters have been received from persons
claiming relationship to the dead miner.
and one from Stanton, Neb addressed TO
a local attorney here. intimates that rela-
tives of Weimer will be here to attend
the hearing before Court Commissioner
Thomas on October 10.
Several days after Weimer's death, c.
L. Tewksbury. mine manager at Kir-
win. gave notice that he would seek to
probate. an alleged will conveying the en-
tire holdings of the dead man to Tewks-
bury. The property consists of what is
said to be some of the most valuable
claims on Willow creek in the Kirwln
district, and their value, in view of the
peculiarities OF the alleged will, is ex-
pected to precipitate a fierce legal battle
IL the heirs are able to fully establish
their relationship to the mysterious
miner"
What is claimed to be Weimer's will
10 a sheet of tablet paper, upon which
is written;
81 desire Mr.. Tewksbury to have my
property upon my death"
The paper is signed by weimer and
. two witnesses and attested by a notary
at Ilo.. wwo., a postoffice fifty miles
from Kirwin. Ths paper is dated in 1905.

CATTLE-5There was the usual dearth OF
cattle 10 be- found on Saturday, there be-
ing nothing OF any consequence in sight
and not enough OF any kind to make q
test of the market For the week the re-
Geiptss have h been quite liberal. as will be
noted by referring to the table at the
head OF the column, the total showing a
considerable gain over the previous week.
there was not much difference in the
figures.
Good kinds of eorn-fed steers were in &C.
i've demand every day and sold In about
the same notches-so much so that at the
close OF the week there is hardly any
qnotable change in the market as compared
with week ago. The common fiat
kinds which come into direct composition
with range steers have sold lower Good
and at the close OF the week are generally
lO4Ibc lower than one week ago. The
common to medium kinds show decline
OF lbq2Oc for the week.
There was no shortage in the COW and
helfcr supply, the proportion OF that kind
Of cattle coming to market being quite
large AL the week. The tendency or prices
was lower, there being decline, for the
week OF fully lbq25c. The week closed
with the trade dull and slow.
Good feeders having weight and quality,
dehorned and we'll bred, have been in good
demand all the week and have sold as
high as any time this year. on the other
hand, the medium to common kinds show
a decline for the week of 10Q15c. There
has bsen a very fair country demand and
lot of cattle have been shipped to the
feed lots. Everything would seem TO
point to a large attendance of buyers the
coming week, owing TO the fall festivities
to be held in Omaha.
HOGE-On the opening this morning some
of the more desirable light hogs, on which
there was considerable competition on the
part OF shippers and spectators, sold at
a little stronger prices and still the top
was not as high as yesterday, owing to
the fact that there was nothing as choice
in the yards today. The general run of
the hogs sold at about steady prices, but
closed slow and in some cases possibly
weak The trade was not particularly &C
tive at the prevailing prices, but with mod
crate receipts practically everythin9
changed hands in very fair season In the
morning.
Receipts of hogs have been very mod
crate all this week, and still not ma
terally different from either last week or
year ago. The market as a whole has
been very even. there being few nuctue-
lions and none Of any great importaace.
The week opened strong to sc higher,
showing a little more strength on Wed
nesday and Thursday. and closing the
week 56D71kc higher than the close OF last
week AS rule operators on the market
are not looking for any great change In
the matter of prices until the new crop
of hogs Is available. thus increasing the
receipts. At the. present time the con-
Stunning demand seems to be lust acout
equal to the supply, so that prices are
running along very evenly with little
change from day TO day.
