II 1925 and his high 50.
Wrights physician and nurse were

Californian still has chance for the
championship, for If he defeats Calvin
Demarest in tomorrow's nights game
the three stars will again be tied for
the title.
Wright won the bank, but missed the
opening shot and Conklin tailed H.
Chick was slow to get going and
Fred reeled off AZ more in his third
inning, which gave him considerable
lead.
Wright fiattered his admirers by
clicking off a. and 4S respectively in
his fifth and sixth innings, but the de-
termined Conklin came right'back with
a break of 40 in his half of the sixth
session, which brought his score UP to

Colonel Edwin Emerson, Herald,

Ny Dear Emerson-Will you please
let me know at the very earliest mo-
ment whether you have arranged for
that article on President Roosevelt by
Rowell.
I'VE do not care which of the Row
ellis you interview but we want a
definite signed statement by one of
them, if possible. and this may be as
euIogistic of the president as they care
to make it. Do not give them the
slightest Information concerning the
fact that we intend to run something
derogatory to the president in an OPP
pOsite column
eve have strong attack ON the
administration by a man who was emf
nent under the Mckinley administra-
tion, and Mr.. CaIkins has indorsed
my view that if we can have the
other article from one of the RowelIs
appear side by side with this the mat
ter would make a great feature and
would be talked about all over the
state.
Kindly have one of your best men
attend to this, or do it yourself If you
see fit. and let us know without de-
lay, as we want this matter to be-
gin within a few days We do not
know what line of policy may exist
down there regarding this affair, but
have gone over it thoroughly and have
decided positively that this will be
run just as soon as we get the in
formation from you.
Il got your opinion of the presi-
dent, which we would like to use in
the event of the failure to get any
thing from Rowell. but it seems to
us that it will be good policy to beard
the lion in his den and have Rowell
himself come out as the champion of
the administration. This, in a man
ner, will close his mouth and pre-
vent him from attacking us for maxi
ing the covert attack ON the presi-
dent.
Il may say to you confidentially that
Colonel Evans, author of the article
we want to print. drew the Mckinley
tariff bill for the Philippine Islands
and was for many years in the treas
ury department. He accuses the presf-
dent of having an inordinate ambition
and of bestriding the world like a
colossus. Now this matter will be
copied widely and will be used simul-
taneously in all our papers. Sincerely

Enough NOtOriety,' y
Says Gould Family
Madame Annals Relatives Tell
Her They Are Disguised
by De Sagan Affair
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


NEW YORK. March 26.-Most of the
members of the family of Nine. Anna
Could, aroused at last by the insistent
pursuit of the heiress by Prince Helie
de Sagan. have taken action to persuade
her that she has had enough Of
notoriety.
At conference of several members
Of the family Nine. Gould was told very
plainly that her divorce action in Paris
and the two street fights between De
Sagan and the De Castellanes had
brought on the members of the family
al the notoriety they wanted. This
position covers the attitude of all ex-
cept Miss Helen Gould and George
Gould. whose opinions about the affair
are not positively known. A very close
relative of the former countess said to-
Gay:
We are disgusted with this affair
and we have told Nine. Gould so. Com
ing so soon upon the divorce case,
which was published all over the
world, we think it is unbecoming for
Nine. Gould TO encourage or permit the
attentions of the prince at this time
Whatever she may do later, we are at
least convinced that the acceptance of
such svowed attentions from any one
now are hardly proper. We would
much prefer that suitors of Nine.
Gould should be kept in the back
ground. AT least until the notoriety Of
the affair in Paris has worn off,
Nine. Gould spent four hours this
afternoon as the guest of Mr. and Mrs
Tyler Morse. with whom she had lunch
con AT their new quarters in the st.
Regis
The Prince de sagan was also
guest of the Tyler Morses for the same
period The meeting was in the form
Of 8 conference over the Gould family's
attitude toward their romance
Nine Gould was In the highest spir-
it's After remaining four hours at the
hotel she returned to the Helen Gould
mansion in Fifth avenue. Here she en-
ccuntered a reporter who asked point
blank if she intended to marry Prince
Helie
She regarded the reporter for a mo-
ment and then said, with a very pleas
ing smile:
We are not engaged"
But that does not answer the ques-
tion. Nine. Gould. The question was
Are you going to marry the Prince de
Sagan? Is he over here TO marry
you7 "
Nine Gould turned her head archly
and replied:
I answered that we are not en-
gagged to be married."

men finally left the ring amid the jeers
of the spectators
The club management then put on
Pete Sullivan, an eastern lightweight,
and Maurice Thompson. They were to
have boxed six rounds, and as Thomp-
son was not in condition it was agreed
the pace would not be a fast one.
The spectators noticed this quickly
and commenced to jeer the boxers. This
spurred them on. with the result that
Thompson fought himself to a stand
still In the second round. He could not
leave his corner after the round and the
fight was stopped. Fully half the spec
tators were from this city, and their
opinion of the incompetent manage
ment was severe.
Battling Nelson was introduced and
was given big reception. There were
insistent calls for a speech and he said:
I suppose you all want to know what
I will do to Abe Attell when 1 get him
in the ring. / think Attell is a grand
little fighter. but 1 am afraid he has
attempted too big contract this time.

test when Attell and / meet"
Charley Reilly earned the decision
over Willie Connor after fighting six
rounds Reilly took a commanding lead
in the fifth round and held it to the
end.

Mr. William Bair, Menlo Park, Cal.
Dear Sir: The following property

neighborhood in Menlo Park, hereby
notify you and you will please take
notice that they will institute the re-
CURED legal measures to enjoin you
from establishing either Japanese or
Chinese resorts on your property in

The locality is now devoted to
private residences of a high character

or Mongolians on your premises with
their threatened occupations and their
offensive habits of life will be a private
nuisance which we will seek to pre-

Clark is too busily Occupied with a

heed to the utterances of the Menlo

On one side is the powerful opposition,
while on the other are monetary ad-
vantages which he is disinclined to
forego.
The trouble has reached an acute
stage. Indigant matrons are asking
ironically If neighborly courtesies will
not compel them to add the prospective
residents to their calling lists. The
Chinese display little concern over the
disturbance, and reply to all questions
