Expelled For Ringing.

The board of review of the National
Trotting association at It's recent ses-
sion In New York took drastic action
regarding the case of Gilbert +. Caire
of Huntington, N. " and the gray
pacing mare Celia, 2:13h.
Caire was proved to the satisfaction
of the board to have entered fraudu-
lently the mare in II race at Riverhead,
N. Y, last fall under the name of Miss
Greyline. Not satisfied with ruling off
Caire, the board also expelled the mare,
rendering her valueless for. racing pur-
poses In her present owners hands.
Caire did not attend at the hearing,
but made excuses. evidently realizing
that he had no chance of being cleared.
Men of his stamp probably will all
ways be found wherever horses are
raced, but fate like this has highly
salutary effect on the mental processes
of the "casy gilt" brigade.
There was one unusual phase OF the
case against Caire, This was the fact

that the case originated principally
through another man, who had ca
reer as ringer. This man was Muir
ply, who protested the horse Celia at
Riverhead. Murphy was expelled by
the board of review few years ago
for having started the onward mare

soon all vestlges of honor win have

Murphy certainly should he ostracizcd

has violated one of the most sacred
family traditions.

|. The musical season this year is opening
auspiciously for Los Angeles. Never be-
fore has there been such bright future
for the vocalists and instrumentalists as
this year, and probably no prima donna
could be selected for the opening who is
better liked or admired by the Los An
geles public than Madame Johanna
Gadski.
Unlike other great singers, this prima
donna is young, and her name stands for
much of fulillment. Her voice has still
the bloom of youth upon it, while her art
has all the ripeness of maturity Still in
her early thirties, Madame Gadski is one
of the greatest. if not the greatest, OF
operate sopranos of the day. Her pro-
grams as usual contain not only arias
from the operas in which she scored her
greatest successes, but also lighter lyrics,
which she sings with indefinable charm.
Madame Gadsk opens the great Phil
harmonic course at Simpson auditorium
next Tuesday night, October 22, and her
program Is an exceptional one. Last sea-
son. after being three years away from
the opera field, Gadskis success in the
great Wagnerian roles was so pronounced
that Herr Conried induced her to become
member of the Metropolitan forces and
head that organization this season.
This week Madame Gadski is singing
in San Francisco.
After visiting this city she will sing for
the Amphion club at San Diego; will be a
guest of the Dominant club of this city
at luncheon and at dinner of the Gamut
club, and will also be guest of honor at
the Shriners ball Thursday night of next
week. Madame Gadski's visit to Los An
geles is not only to be musical one but
a social one as well.

ing of the rat crusade October "a.
Yesterday Supply Clerk Bert Farmer
was kept busy consulting hardware men.
The answer of all was the same.
Nothing doing they said. Oakland

At the time bounty was offered for
each rat killed in San Francisco the de-
manu- for rat traps increased greatly.
When the merchants in the northern city
learned there was a chance of trap
famine there they sent to Los Angeles for
new supply, believing it would take too
long for shipments to arrive from the
east
Now the local merchants find 1T impos-
sible to meet the demand, and the result
Is that the city council will be compelled
to call for bids for their manufacture.
Orders placed in the east could not be
filled in time 1or the opening day of the
crusade.
1t is the intention of those in charge
of the crusade to place traps in livery

purchased by the city.

Plan Of Mrs. Jane Bashford Of Fort
Wayne, Accused Of Bringing Child
Illegally, and G. T. kressIer
Ss frustrated

Plans to celebrate marriage ceremony
in one corner of Judge Wilbur's court
room yesterday morning between a wo-
man waiting for trial and the man whom
she has come hundreds of miles to wed
were frustrated by the suspicious OF
Justice Summerfield and by the orders
of Judge Wilbur.
Mrs. Jane Bashford, who has been con-
fined in the county Jail pending the arri-
val of officers from Fort Wayne, Ind,
who want her for taking her child from
the, state contrary to order of court, was
brought before Judge Wilbur on a petit
ton for habeas corpus.
Mrs. Bashford came from Fort Wayne
to marry her girlhood suitor, @. T. Kress-
ler, an en1ploye of the Southern Pacific,
who left Fort Wayne five years ago.
after she had married another man. Mrs.
Bashford secured a divorce from her
first husband some time ago. While the
couple were waiting in court yesterday
for the case to be called Attorney Hyatt
sent for Justice Summerfield and asked
that the ceremony be performed at once.
The justice refused to perform the cere-
mony under such unusual circumstances,
even though the couple were provided
with proper marriage license and were
qualified to marry.
Deputy DlStrlct Attorney Mccormick
secured the issuance of a complaint
against Mrs. Bashford, charging her
with taking with her from Indiana GER
tain property belonging to Arthur M.
Johnson.
Attorney Hyatt says the charge of
stealing is trumped up. He says it is
based on the purchase of a dress by
Mrs. Bashford before she left for which
she did not pay in full. He claims the
balance due on the dress does not become
due until October 22
Judge Wilbur postponed the argument
on the writ of habeas corpus until Mon
day. Before taking the prisoner back to
jail Attorney Hyatt asked the court to
perform the ceremony of marriage or
allow it to be performed. Judge Wilbur

MAID DISAPPEARS

IN NORTH
Daisy Martin Tells Her Parents She
Is Going to San Pedro
and Drops from
Sight

Daisy Martin, pretty girl of II years,
whose parents live at 962 Seventeenth
street, is missing from her home and the
police have been asked to aid in locating
her.
Miss Martin on the morning of October
s told her mother that she was going to
San Pedro to visit friends for the day.
Who these friends were she did not say,
and since bidding her parents farewell
all trace of 4er has been lost.
The Martins ,rmerly lived in San
Francisco and the young miss has often
expressed a desire to return to her old
home, where she had many friends.
The young woman's thrift had enabled
her to save about $50, which was kept in
a small bank in the house. An examina-
ton shows the little box to be empty,
and 1t is supposed she extracted it to
pay her expenses to her former home.
