MACFARLANE WINS
CALCUTTA POOL.

G. w. Macfarlane, proprietor of the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel at Honolulu and
a business man known throughout the
islands and the United States, proved to
be the luckiest guesser in the Calcutta
pools made UP by the passengers of the
Korea, which arrived in San Francisco
on Monday. Not only did he win all
the money of the gentlemen passengers.
but just for a lark went down on the
forward deck and broke" Chinese
roulette game that was running there
full blast. He arrived in this city win
nel by about $500 on the voyage from
Herolulu.
Very few of the passengers played
the pools on the last trip Of the Korea.
Four German merchants, an English
glcbetrotter, two or three Anne ricans,
several islanders and Macfarlane made
up the daily pools Macfarlane's kill
ins was made on the day that he re-
ceived a low number. A sudden heavy
sea killed the speed of the boat and he
won two-thirds of the entire pot.

REDS WANT BONES
Of F0REFATHERS.

BERKELEY, Aug. 22.-By their zeal
to add to the university's collection of
relics of aboriginal Indians. several
savants of the institution, under the
direction of Professor A. l.. Kroeber, so
angered the California Indians in the
vicinity of Ukiah that these tribesmen
engaged McNab & Hirsch, attorneys of
San Francisco, to present their claims
for reparation from the university au-
thorities. The university men un-
earthed skeletons of Indians and re-
moved them to the anthropological
museum at the Affiliated Colleges in
San Francisco. The living relatives of
the dead whose bones now lie in the
university museum protested nightly
against the action and demanded the
return of the skeletons, and such other
atonement as the courts may deem
fitting.
In correspondence between counsel
for the Indians and President Wheeler
and Professor kroeber last month, in
which the Indians plants and the
university's side Of the unique situation
were discussed. the university men are
said to have promised that the bones
in dispute should be returned and that
any other fitting reparation desired
would be made. The Indians now al
lege that these promises were unful-
filled. and their counsel is conducting g
negotiations with the university au-
thorities regarding the matter.
Captain Dick Rudick, head OF one of
tho tribes of California Indians near
Ukiah, has been informed that the
State provides q punishment of FIVE
years In States prison for the offense
of grave-robbing, and this provision of
the law is being used as tile means for
compelling the college scientists to
give back the skeletons of the Indians.

IMAGINEs HE HAS ALARM
CLOCK IN HIS STOMACH

OAKLAND, Aug. 23.-Unable to de-
termine whether her son, Herbert r.
Butler, was lazy or crazy, Mrs. Amanda
Butler took the young man to the de-
tention ward of the Receiving Hospital
today. where Drs. Shirk and A. s. Kelly
decided that he was one OF the craziest
subjects that had ever come under
their observation. Judge Harris COM
mitted Butler to the Stockton State
Hospital.
Not only does Butler, who is only 1s
years old. see spirits in the night. but
he imaglnes that there is an alarm
clock inside of him and that the bell
rings when he talks too long to the
spirits. When the bell rings Butler
begins to yell and ne has kept the
neighborhood of his home at 316
street awake night after night with his
efforts to stop the clock. He has also
threatened to commit suicide.
Mrs. Buffers fndecision in regard to
her sons sanity was due to the fact
that at times he appeared to be per-
fectly rational, but when she sug-
gested to him that he do some work he
couldn't understand her.
Mrs. Clara Burritt, a. domestic, who
tried to strangle Joseph Douglas. her
benefactor at Pleasanton recently. was
committed to the Stockton State Hos
pital by Judge Harris.
