Everybody in England is so ia
miltar, through me labors Of MI Bres-
ford Hope and of the Saturday Re-
view, with Mr.. Lincoln's defects, both
OF manner and looks tat | need not
dwell on them. There Is no denying
that he Is neither an Apollo nor q
Count d'Orsay, and it is equally true
that in what is called good society, a
genteel appearance Is one Of the first
requisites of a statesman. When the
war broke out, therefore, and Mr.. Lin
coin, became the cynosure Of all eyes
the horror felt by the nobility, gently,
and clergy In England at the cut Of
his clothes, the length of his legs, his
way of wearing his beard, and his
maner Of receiving company, called
forth corresponding amount Of
sympathy here. People were rather
disposed to be ashamed Of their Presi-
dent when they found he was likely
to excite so much attention. Lamen-
tations were heard on every side over
his want Of education, as If it was not
just as good, as far as NEE schooling
went, as that Of George =. ashington,
and good deal better than that Of
Andrew Jackson. Many persons were
greatly distressed when they found
that Southerners In hngland were con
trasting his department With that of
Jefferson Davis.

ate, with no experience of life except
such as could be gained in one com
munity, and that by no means in
the most advanced state of culture,

captivate the people, or attract their
confidence, either commanding pres

the responsibility Of confronting and
Of directing what everybody acknowl~

In race with Irving Orion, a BROTH
er of the Intercollegiate champion.
george orion, and told to follow
the pace which Orion set and then to
peat his man in the stretch If he
could. Most Of the critics thought
Iaylor could not last O. half mile
put he surprised them all by brush
ing past Orion in the stretch with
ease, his time being 1.59 3-5. This
proved that Taylor could run either
distance equally well. ..:
This year Taylor has been eligible
, from the start, and Mike Murphy
has been training him for both the
quarter and the half-mile runs. At
Columbia games Taylor for
rem In the one-ml.e relay, against
Fordham, and week later at the
irish A, G. games he ran q half mile.
MS work being responsible for Penn s
victory. His time here was very
close to two minutes. At the, Pastime
"A. q. meet Taylor, competed in a spe-
cial. 500 yards race, with Hillman
and Bacon, OF the New York A. c..
and Parsons, Of Yale, the holder Of
; the record Of LA.
Taylor's victory here Is now a part
OF athletic history. THAT he did not
win by q greater margin than he did
was due TO the fact that he looked
Tor Parsons to give I'm the hardese
race, whereas this was done by Hill
man. In explanation Of this TAYLOR
said that he was watching Parsons,
and. let Htl1man get too much of a
: lead. When he saw that Parsons was
about all in he went after t1illman
and just caught him at the tape win
ming the race by less than six inches.
1t Is likely that at the coming In
tercollegiate championships Taylor
will be used in both the half-mile
and the quarter-mile runs. If Mike
Murphy thinks Taylor has any chance
to beat Parsons In the half-mi1e he
will be used in this race In prefer
ence to the quarter, though he may
prove able to score in both events,
but this is something no athlete has
yet been able to do, and Mike Muir
ply will be satisfied If Taylor wins
the half-mile or is second in both the
half and the quarter.
If Taylor is withdrawn from the
quarter-mile, either Cartmell or
In the 100 and 22Q yards dashes at
the Intercollegiate, will be used in
the quarter. In other words, these
men will be shifted, SO that Penn will
get the greatest number Of points
from the 100, 22O, 400 and $50
yards events.
Much Of Taylor's success is due to
the splendid headwork he uses in his
races. He is a perfect Judge Of pace,
and never lets his opponents box or
worry him in the least. He has a
Long, springy stride, which carries
him over the track with the mini
mum Of effort. Then he Is possessed
OF great speed, and never fails when
he Is challenged in the stretch.

As Body Ii Lowered Into Grave, Beau-
tifuI Sixteen-Year-oId Leah
Frlsman Becomes a
RavIng Maniac

From Russia to Los Angeles came
beautiful Leah Frisman to make her
home with her sister, Mrs. Annie zakoff.
At the end of her S0OO-mile journey the
girl, who is 16 years of age, found her
sister dead. AS the body was lowered
into the grave the young girl turned a
raving maniac and last night was placed
in the detention ward Of the city receiv-
ing hospital.
Leo Zakoff, the husband Of the young
girls sister, came to this country a
number of years ago. He soon sent for
his sweetheart and they were married in
the Russian church in San Francisco.
Then they came to Los Angeles to live.
They saved for Leahs passage, and
three weeks ago she started for Los
Angeles.
Mrs. Zakoff was taken suddenly Ill and
an operation was performed. She died
shortly after being taken from the table.
AS the body was being prepared for the
grave Leah arrived
From terrific violence the girl passes
into deepest melancholy. Singing the
songs of her native land and babbling of
childhood incidents she weeps pitifully.
At times 1t requires several men to
control her.
Leo Zakoff, the husband of the dead
woman, is confined to his home at III
North Clarence street with typhoid pneu-
monia and is in a serious condition.
Since the funeral of Mrs. Zakoff the
young girl has been cared for by neigh
bors until she became so violent that
she could no longer be restrained.

ANTIQUE TRAY AND GARBAGE
BILL FIGURE IN COURT
G.. @. Harootinlan. Accuses Former
LandIady of Damaging Bicycle
and Is Met with Counter
Charges

A garbage bill, an antique brass tray
and a second hand bicycle were the sub
jects which involved attorneys in furi-
Gus wrangle III Justice A. Stephens
court. The trouble originated in quar-
rel between Mrs. Saddle Debbs, who con-
ducts a rooming house at 322h South
Broadway, and a former roomer, g. q.
Harootinian.
Harootinian accused his landlady OF
having taken the wheel and abused 1t
until it was worthless.
with indignation Mrs. Debbs denied she
was responsible for any wear to the
bicycle, which was a mans wheel. Then
she flashed the garbage bill before the
court, claiming the plaintiff had failed to
pay 1t when ne left her place. She also
demanded an accounting of the where
abouts of the tray, which she charged
the plaintiff with having taken.
She said an old wheel had been found
in front of her house and she had taken
1t in and stored it. Twenty-seven dollars
was demanded for storage for eighteen
months.
Loghefed Agabashi was the next wit
ness. He grew excited and commenced to
tell his family history, commencing with
his early youth. 1T took combined efforts
of the Judge, the bailiff and the two at
torneys to stop him.
Finally the judge offset the claims one
against the ether, leaving small balance
for the defense.

rival of the Docu-

Another postponement in the probate
case of the estate Of Col Frederick Cor
don Seymour was granted yesterday by
Judge N. p Conrey. A delay of one week
was given in hopes of receiving the origi-
nal will, which is held by British lawyers
Request for the will was made by the
widow several months ago, but no re-
sponse was received. Attorney James
Fl. Shankland argued yesterday against
the delay, asking for a prompt disposi-
ton of the case.
Attorney Sutton favored the delay and
gave a number of reasons for believing
the will was on the way He said he had
told the British lawyers to wire him in
case they did not intend to send the will
and he had received no response.
Property to the value of 100000 was
left by Colonel Seymour, including rail-
road in Mexico and real estate in Los
Angeles.
The will gives all the property to the

DOOM TWO
FOILS ATTEMPT
AT MURDER
Weakened and Just Up from Sick
Bed, Witness Against Accused
slayers Routs As
sassln

Death warrants for Joe Saunders and
Joe Fong, Chinese interpreters, have been
issued by highbinders and a price has
been put on their heads. Last night
desperate attempt was made to kill Saun-
/ ders in his home at SO2 Juan street, and
only his GOODNESS and the rapidity with
which ne had handled revolver pre-
vented it being successful.
Saunders recently came from the county
hospital, where he has been patient Tor
several weeks endeavoring to break the
habit Of smoking opium. In this he was
successful.
On the night of the recent shooting in
Chinatown in, which two members or the
Bing Ong tong received fatal wounds at
the hands of members of Hop Sing men,
Saunders rose from his bed at the county
hospital and was carried to the receiving
hospital, where he and Joe Fong took the
dying statements of the two men.
These ante-mortem statements impli-
Gated three members of the Hop Sing
tong, who are now in jail awaiting trial
on the charge of murder.
To get Fong and Saunders out of the
way SO that they cannot act as interpre-
ters at the coming trials and furnish the
prosecution with damaging testimony
which they alone are able to secure
orders have been issued to kill them, say
the police
Late last night Chinaman noiselessly
entered Saunders room, and with the ex-
clamation, Hello, joe" started to draw
a revolver.
AS the weapon flashed in the air Saun-
ders raised an automatic pistol which he
had at his hand on the table, and point
ing it at the Chinaman commanded him
to throw up his hands. The man turned,
jumped through a window and escaped
Capt. Thomas HI. Broadhead, when In
formed of the occurrence, sent police
man to the scene with orders to guard
Saunders, and this watch will be kept up
night and day until the trial of the men
row in Jail is closed.
Both Saunders and the police received
warning two days ago that he and Fong
were to be killed, but 1t was not believed
that the assassins would invade Saunders
house.
