TRIES TO ROB FRIEND;
LANGUISHES IN JAIL

Henry Heller was fined $50 on a
charge of petty larceny when he was
taken to police court yesterday. Heller
is said to have attempted to rob d. b.
Manning, a bartender, who took Heller
to his room one night a week ago, when
the latter had no place to sleep
Manning rooms at 303 Central avenue.
He met Heller on the street and was
informed that Heller had no place to
go. Manning offered to share his room
with the homeless one and Heller ac-
cepted. After they had gone to the
room Heller is said to have told Man
ming that he was going to help him
self to anything he wanted and tried
to take Manning's purse from beneath
pillow. Manning sprang from bed ant
threw Heller out the window
Heller was found lying unconscious
in the street by a policeman. He was
taken to the receiving hospital and
Manning was arrested, as 1t was
thought he had attempted to kill Heller.
After Heller regained consciousness he
is said to have admitted trying to rob
Manning. In lieu of money to pay the
fine Heller languishes in Jail.

Tom McCarey put the finishing
touches on his four-event card sched-

Landers and Montana Kid yesterday
afternoon. Landers is at present in
San Francisco, but McCarey wired the
tickets north and he will come south
Immediately.
The complete program consists of the
following list of events:
Kid Solomon and Frank Sheek, ten
rounds; Kid Dalton and Frank Ed
wards, Eddie Meeney and Jimmy
Walsh. Montana Kid and Fred Landers.
Never again will there be any more
stopping cards for mine," said Nc
Carey yesterday, when the affair of
last Friday night was under discussion.
Il do not believe yet that O'Brien could
have put his men away, but such a
card will not find place at Maud juno
ton so long as | am connected with the
game.
II had my eyes opened years ago
when Jim Jeffries failed to stop Hank
Griffin. So confident was 1 that
O'Brien could not stop Tremble, Turk
and Brown that 1 begged him to de-
sist. He said that he could take care
of himself, and 1 let it 60"
When Jack O'Brien climbs into the
ring again approach of the fifth round
will be hailed with interest. Judging
from recent occurrences it would ap-
pear as though the fifth period has en-
tered as a hoodoo to the Philadelphian.
1t was in the fifth round that Tommy
Burns sent over his wild right and
came near dropping Jack. Now the
Turk comes along and does a bad thing
in the fifth.

Today's Selections

Picking winners will be a hard task
in most of the events on account of
the large fields, and i'm some cases the
poor class of horses.
The first race is n very open affair
and looks to be between Platoon Da-
ruma, Money Muss and Fustian. II
Platoon does not act crazy at the post.
as he usually does, and gets away
we'll he may be returned the winner.
Daruma should go we'll with 80 pounds
on her back and win give the top one
stiff argument. Money Muss should go
well, is a quick breaker and has n lot
of early speed, which should enable
him to GET clear Of any possible inter-
ference, and he may finish i'm the
money. Fustian has am excellent
chance, as he is rounding TO form now.
Mintia should go well today
A very bad lot are Cardcd to start
i'm the second race, on form and fig
ures should finish i'm this order Joan
of Arc, Junia, Ninorsina.
Judge Nelson looks the best i'm the
third race and beat Halton, the most
dangerous contender, before and should
repeat. san Alviso should be am easy
third The other two have only am
outside chance.
The fourth race is a very hard one
to select a winner for. Search Me on
his last race, looks to have a good
chance, as ne Is good weight carrier
and is game. Bologna has the early
foot Of this bunch and may make
runaway race Of 1t. The Major viii
probably run a good race after his rest
and should he right there at the finish.
Susie Christian, Phil IgOe and Marie
x. have an outside chance to be among
the first three.
Reno Rebel win probably run an i'm
proved race this afternoon, as he ran
green his only out and should tuln
the tables on Adrian. Water Belle and

"If there are any men in the city who
have the idea that the Y. w. G. A.
would refuse their contributions to the
new building I hope they will disabuse
their minds of the notion" said one of
the secretaries yesterday. at seems
that the impression has got about
among business men that our building
was to be built entirely with the
money of women.
II learned of one such case today,
when the employer of one of our MEM
bers asked if he might not be allowed
to contribute $25. He said he had un-
derstood that only women were to be
asked to contribute, but he admired the
association so much he wanted to give
something to the fund. He was one
of the firm of the Capitol Milling COM
pany and in addition to the cash he
offered to donate five barrels of flour
to the kitchen when the new building
is opened"
Smiling faces were the rule around
the campaign headquarters last night
when it was announced at the close
of the busiest day of the month that
the total has jumped up to 100000 and
over. Rejoicing was general and many
congratulations were exchanged

Monday Is Busy Day

Monday was the day of the most
work since the beginning of the cam
paign. More people were down and
they put in longer hours than any day
before. There were two $1,000 women
and "a Nonymus" sent in several good.
ly contributions. The news that Rev.
Robert j. Burdette had successfully ap-
pealed to his congregation at the Sun
day service for donations to the fund
came as a pleasant surprise to the
campaign workers.
A big celebration of the victory is be-
ing planned for Thursday night, when
committeewomen, members and friends
will come together in the assembly hall
for an evening of enjoyment. Special
features are being arranged, but what
the entertainment is to be is kept a
secret. 1t is not going to end until
midnight-that much Miss latham told,
so everyone is on the qui vive to see
what is to happen.
