GOULD FAILS TO
RETAIN CONTROL
OPPOSITION OF SISTER FORCES
THE FINANCIER TO ACCEPT
TERMS OFFERED BY HARTMAN.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-George J.
Gould spent the day in vain effort to
retain the control of the railroad sys-
tenn which for so many years has been
operated under his family's name. His
failure, it is understood, is due to the
position of his sister, Helen, who fore
ed him to give up.
Miss Gould is of the opinion that he
Is undertaking too much in attempting
to manage the numerous properties
which the Gould family controls. This
is especially so, in view of the banking
enemies he has made and the inability
of his railroad companies to maintain
the market for their stocks.
Although he has made strenuous eff
forts, Gould found it impossible to OBJ
tain relief in any other direction than
the one dominated by Hartman, and
after numerous conferences consuming
the entire day ne announced that ar
rangements had been made for taking
care of the $S,OO0,OOO of Wheeling and
Lake Erie notes that fall due tomor-
row. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and Blair q
Co. will take them up in behalf Of
Hartman. Hartman will in the fu-
ture occupy very much the same po-
sition regarding the Gould roads that
he does now in the Erie.

COMMODORE BARKER


SAN JOSE, August 4.-Curtis M.
Barker, commodore of the South Bay
Yacht Club, former City Engineer and
one of the best-known men of this city,
was drowned at o'clock this afternoon
off Halfmoon BAY while en- route from
Santa Cruz to Alviso, via San Fran
cisco, in his flagship, Muriel. The
body was recovered and taken to Han
moon Bay.
After a two-weeks' vacation at San
ia Cruz, Barker set sail for home on
Saturday. With him as pilot and as
sistant went a young spanish sailor

Brownie Barker was an expert
enced yachtsman and an expert swim
mer, as was his companion. This fact
adds to the mystery surrounding the
drowning.
Working slowly up the coast against
strong north wind, the Muriel en-
tered Halfmoon bay shortly after noon
today. Brownie was busy at the bow
of the yacht, and Commodore Barker
was at the helm. Suddenly the young
Spaniard heard the sound of a body
striking the water. He turned just in
time to see Barker sinking beneath
the waves ten feet to leeward of the
vessel. Barker had struck face down
ward, and apparently either was
stunned or deliberately was making
no effort to save himself.

It appears that this organization has

times, but following the same general

SPOR 7 S
CHANGE FOR HAWAII
IN FISHING SPORT

of these Journeys earnestly desire to
see the competitions international in
fact, through the attendance of foreign
experts who shall test their skill with
rod and reel, from the same platform
and under equal conditions, against
the dexterity of expert rodsters from
widespread sections of the United
States.
This is an amateurs game, played
for the sports sake, enjoyed for the
go" in it, the fun in it, the good fell
lowship in it, for every amateur caster
is such for love Of the sport and for
the aid it brings him in his angling.
To be a good caster is not always to
be a good angler, yet the methods
learned areyinvaluable to a good an
gler; and, when added to his know
ledge conditions of weather and water
and his nose for the likely spots,
his pleasure is enhanced until the sport
almost becomes a passion. Also there's
the getting in touch with the things
that make for a hign standard OF
craftsmanship and the news about
what's been done and being done to-
ward protection of fish and propaga-
ton of fish life, what plan succeeded
in >one locality and what purposes are
being worked out in another.

THE COMING ATTRACTION

When a play is capable of provok-
ing an almost constant ripple of
laughter, which at frequent and un-
expected intervals breaks out into
uncomfortable outlaws that make the
very rafters ring, there is but one
verdict for the reporter on dramatic
affairs to render. and that one is
self-evident. Such play in its own
peculiar field is great. That is Just
what Mrs. Temples Telegram will
do at the Park Opera House next
Wednesday evening.
There is no call to go into the his
tory of this play and give its pedi-
gree. 1t is only necessary to take
it at its face value. and say that it
is one of the cleyerest farces that has
been seen since the days of Charley
Hoyt. 1t possesses a plot that in
itself appeals to ones sense of the
ridiculous, and lines that sparkle
with wit and humor. The company
is one of the most evenly balanced
and uniformly clever that has ever
been seen in. a comedy for long
time. 1t is not stretching the truth
the least to say that laughter begins
at the first rise of the curtain and
continues almost without interrupt
ton until the last word is spoken
mat IN ltSelI speaks VOlumeS IN
laudation of the ability of the COM
edians and condolences entrusted
with the few roles necessary in tell
ing the story. 1t is hardly necessary
to refer to the story of Mrs. Temples
Telegram. 1t begins with a little fib
that fond husband, Mr.. Temple,
told his wife. This with the aid of
a devoted friend, Frank Fuller,
grows and grows, becoming more
and more involved until three fam
lilies are on the verge of disruption.
Then the truth comes out and all is
happily ended. The story is told
without coarseness of any kind and
vet 1t is all deliciously funny.
