WARRANT FOLLOWS
E[OPING COUPLE
Man Leaves Wife to Flee With
His School Teacher From
Back East

TACOMA April 15.-Leonard J. Gross
and Mrs. Kate Saul, clippers, have taken
steamer passage from Aberdeen to San
Francisco. A local detective agency
has telegraphed the chief of police at
San Francisco and has forwarded a
warrant for Cross arrest by mail. The
warrant was issued at the instance of
Gross wife, who has been determined
to bring him back since he deserted
her IN January to elope with Mrs. Saul.
The pair were located at Aberdeen
few days ago, but boarded a steamer
for San Francisco shortly before the
arrival of an officer At Aberdeen Gross
went under the name of L. j. Leonard.
Ten years ago Mrs. Saul was Gross
school teacher and sweetheart at
Akron, Ohio. He came west to better
his condition, went to Alaska and
failed to send for her as expected. She
married. Hearing this he married last
year. They were surprised to find
themselves occupying adjoining houses
in Tacoma. The old friendship was re-
newed and an elopement followed three
months ago.

run was put over neither team could
break in after the four inning. when
/ Hogan made 1t deadlock by knocking
! the ball out of the lot.
Henley walked only one man and that
was Cook in the fourteenth His speed
increased as the game progressed and
he did not show the slightest sign OF
distress. His little left handed OPP
ponent was equally aggressive and eff
fective and had great control of the ball
issuing but five passes and allowing
only II hits to Henley's Is.
SCORE TIED UP EARLY
Oakland registered first, breaking in
with pair of runs in the second inning
Eagan and Haley each picked out safe
ones. Eagan got around to third later
on Berrys overthrow of second.
Scruggs' tap into left allowed Truck to
come in and Slattery's two sacker to the
Haley a chance to tally.
The Seals made it deadlock in their
half of the third. After Berry had
walked and been caught mapping, Hen
ley landed on Eagan's error and pulled
up at third after Hide sent one into
the right garden. Piper famed and
Slattery overthrow second. letting Hen
ley in. Williams timely bingle into
left put Hildebrand safely through the
lines.
The fourth brought San Francisco
another one. Zeider took a slap in the
ribs and Moller laid down a bunt
While the Oakland infield was engaged
in putting out the kid, Zelder sneaked
around to third, where he tarried only
until Williams sacrificed him over the
rubber. This put the Seals one to the
good, but Hogan tied it up for 10 in
nings by slapping a fast one right over
the center field fence on a direct line
in the same period
From the fourth spasm on both teams
settled down and waded into the work
like packs of wolves. Time after time
runners approached near the home
plate, but a remarkable fielding feat
or some steady pitching kept them
away and thus the game went the II
inning route. The score:

sist upon our right not to be submerged
by the hordes of the orient who are
streaming across the western sea
coolies and laborers-to take posses
sion of America west of the Rocky
mountains"
Parker of New Jersey held up the
territorial isolation of Alaska as one
argument for a greater navy.
Willett of New York asserted that a
few days ago the president said to
committee from this house, who
called on him at the White House-said
1t in the presence of other people with
his customary vehemence and facial
distortions-'that unless you give me
four battleships I will veto your pub
lie buildings bills That's the trouble
with this situation, Mr.. Chairman. The
president attempts
Willetts was interrupted by Hobson.
who, speaking with much feeling, said:
In justice to the president / wish
to inform the gentleman from New
York that I saw him a minute after
he said that, and he told me that he
was forced to say it because knowl-
edge had reached him of a threat cir
culated in the house that unless the
naval program was cut to two ships,
the leaders in the house would see to
it that there was no public buildings
bill at ALL
The voting on the amendments on a
regular division disclosed 70 ayes and
100 noes on Hobson's proposition to
have four battleships. Hobson then
demanded tellers, and the count pre-
vailed by 70 ayes and 179 noes. Taw-
ney then offered his amendment re-
ducing the number of battleships to
one, but it was defeated by 205 noes
to- So ayes.
Insisting upon some concession, Hob
son devised an amendment providing
for three battleships, which was voted
down. 20S to 81, larger majority than
any developed on any other vote taken.
Goldfogle of New York moved to
amend the bill by making mandatory
the building of one battleship in a
navy yard. giving the secretary of the
navy discretion in the building of the
other either in a navy yard or by con-
tract. The suggestion was adopted.
The bill as reported to the .house
authorizes expenditures Of $4,000. 900.

American Car Loses
Its Big Lead
Failure of Its ALASKAN Trip
Gives Foreign Competitors
the Advantage

SEATTLE, April 15.-The French
and Italian cars in the New York to
Paris automobile race left for Vladi-
vostok today on the steamship Ak
Maru- The foreigners have an excel
lent start on the American car. They
will go to Dalny and thence to Vladi-
frozen wastes to Paris.
The steamer Glenlogan, on which
the German car will go from Seattle
to Vladivostok. arrived here yester-
day from Tacoma and began load
ing for the far east. The Ger
man car is expected here Fri
day or Saturday and the ship
will get away Saturday night. It will
make the run in about three weeks,
arriving at Vladivostok about May 10.
The French and Italian cars on the
Aki Maru will have to be trans
shipped at Kobe, where they will ar
rive May s. II they make connections
at once with the ships for Vladivostok
they will arrive in the latter port
about the same time as the German
car.
The Alaska section OF the journey
has been positively abandoned The
Americans were warned against at
tempting the trip from Valdez to
Nome, but the authorities in New York
change at that time.
The American car will arrive here
Friday on the steamship Bertha and
probably will sail on the Glenlogan
with the German car.

grand stand during the fourteenth inning. The!
set up a mighty roar and helped the Seals pu
through the winning run. q
Old timers say that yesterdays game was the
longest this city has ever known 1t is the Sec
ond longest in the league. The record was es
1ablished by Oakland and Sacramento on the
freeman's park lot, Oakland in May, 1902,
when the teams played 10 innings to tie-
Little Scruggs turned odt to be one Of the real
nights OF the game. The tiny busher handled
about dozen chances faultlessly. In the thir-
teenth he was hit squarely on the face by a
terrlnc grounder which Williams lined to him.
Van Haltren tried to induce him to quit the
game and take rest. but he showed his grit by
sticking IL out. His sameness won many q
cheer from the multitude.
Van Haltren was forced to work another make
shift In his inheld. Altman was severely in
Jured during practice game at Oakland in the
morning and may be out of the going for sew
eral days Van had to put Haley at second and
Scruggs at third. Haley had 16 chances and got
away with all of them, besides tearing or a
couple of hits.
Cook made so many psational atches In the
ieft garden that the fans grew weary counting
them. In fact, everything that came Cook S
all. Hildebrand started the game by rapping
one against the left field fence. Cook went
after the ball and speared it with one mitt just
as 1t was about to bounce against one Of the
stringers and possibly go over the fence.
Hopkins lost a two hAgger and probably the
game for Oakland in the twelfth inning, when
he cut first base by at least five feet. Though
his hit was long one and he had plenty OF
time, the little fellow thought that he would
sneak one over, but the umpire was on the job.
According TO the rules Hopkins is not even cred
tied with single. for the reason that he did not
reach the initial sack. This is a bit of hard
luck. but there is no excuse for a player not
touching base, especially in a close game.
Mohler.s lightning work saved the day again
for the Seals in the fourteenth. Hogan opened
up with hit through the box, and Haley hunted
him along. Slattery started a slow one over sec
ond: and Mohler grabbed 1t after a hard sprint.
seeing that there was no chance to get Slattery
at first. the Kid whipped the ball over to third
and held Hogan there. The next man was an
easy out, so the Seals were given a new lease of
life.
