SNAKES JUST LOVE
LEO v. YOUNGWORTH
U. S. MARSHAL MAKES HIT
WITH REPTILES
Woman Interrupts Parade by Declar-
ina Girl Trumpeter Is Lons-Lost
Daughter-Equestrienne
Is ENDORSED

In the parade of the Shriners' circus
and the Sells-Floto shows yesterday
morning, the greatest attraction I'M
doubtedly was United States Marshal
Leo Youngworth as snake charmer.
The great crowd lining the sidewalks
watched the marshal as he took on his
new Job in the place of DR.. e. f.
Wood to win a bet.
The prettiest snake in the whole box
was seen reclining against the mar
shars bosom, the reptile so fondled and
petted by the federal officer being a
giant boa constructor.
But Youngworth did not seem to feel
aba shed by the "denizen of the jungle,
and talked to the snake charmer and
petted the snake as though that We're
his official duty.
The steam calliope made as much
noise almost as the country band, While
that former clever jockey, Snapper Gar
rison, got a Chautauqua salute from
the stenographers in the office windows
by his trick bicycle riding. Trolley
tenders are Snapper's favorite tracks
apparently. as he rides all over them.
The Shriners and the Sells-Floto show
will give their combined Good Time
circus at the Prayer park grounds, ten
acres under canvas, every afternoon
and night the remainder of this week.
All children will be permitted to see

RUNAWAY HITS BOYS;
BADLY BRUISES TWO
SEVERAL OTHERS SLIGHTLY
INJURED
Accident Occure While Driver Is
Changing Horses from Pillow
Used in Grading Streets
to Wagon

Two boys, Fred Shinn, aged II, liv-
ing at 702 Judson street. and Sam
Barnes, aged 10. living at GIG North
BOYLE avenue, were knocked down and
badly bruised and several other chill
dren were slightly injured when one
of the horses used by the city chain
gang dashed into the Bridge street
school grounds, where a crowd of boys
were playing football, yesterday morn
ing. That the lads were not fatally in
jured was a miracle.
The accident happened while the
driver of the team was changing the
horses frsm the pillow which was being
used in grading the street back to the
wagon. In some manner the animals
became frightened and broke away
from the driver and dashed away. They
ran into a post, which broke the har-
ness and separated the horses, one OF
them continuing down the street
while the other ran into the schoo
yard filled with children.
A number of prisoners serving OH the
chain gang who did not have a bal
and chain attached to their legs ran tc
the aid of the frightened children anC
prevented more of them from getting
injured.
Police Surgeon Charles w. Bonyngt
was called to attend the injured lads
who were sent to their homes after
their injuries had been dressed.

bers took it up with Secretary Scrib-
ner of the Associated.
The latter said he knew nothing
about the matter but Chambers in
formed him of the final decision of
the Santa Fe in the question.
Previous to that time, or in March,
1906, Chambers said he had instructed
Porter he should not send any more
claims since he would not entertain
them unless the rate were published;
and in February, 1907, the letter
authorizing the payment of the claims
was written by Chambers.
Chambers Explains 1t
Assistant Attorney General Benja-
min asked how it came about that,
although the Santa F'e had determined
not to extend the rate unless it were
published, the 25-cent rate was ex-
tended for many months afterward.
To this Mr.. Chambers replied that
after Mr.. Porters return from Japan
they had a talk together on the sub
ject and after that the shipments were
quite small, the contract being cam
called In November.
Messrs. Porter, Ripley, Wells and
Chambers consulted together on the
subject in San Francisco in November
Assistant Attorney General Benjamin
asked why the Santa Fee continued to
give the rate, TO winch chambers re-
piled that, as he understood it,, the
company did not do so. Since Porter
convinced the railroad representatives
at that meeting that 1t would be I'M
just not to protect him in that rate,
President Ripley finally agreeing that
the refund should be given, the details
of arrangement were left to Messrs.
Chambers and Wells.
The rate was made a part of the
contract, but it was not necessarily
published in that contract, Chambers
said.
Furthermore, Chambers explained.
Porter claimed the price of oil would
go down in San Francisco just that
much if the rate were published.
Water routes and pipe lines were
being used by various other concerns
to transport oil to San Francisco, and
it was selling at bay points at that
time at the rate of 45 to So cents.
He added that the independent
shippers at Bakersfield never shipped
any oil anyway.

was that Judge Dooling, having been
actively engaged in having him ex-

Sons of the Golden West would be
prejudiced against him in this case and
so be unfit to preside.
