Lyle Knight is the mystery of the
race. Nobody seems to know him. he
belongs to a horseman named STAN
field and is said to be a four-year-old
maiden. Reports of his workouts are
of a sensational nature and may cause
the judges to look into his case. He
is said to have worked a half mile up
hill in 46 As seconds, five-eighths in
SO 2-5 seconds and three-quarters in
1:131-5. This is phenomenal work for
a green racer and would beat the av-
erage field of sprinters. The mystery
surrounding the horse probably will be
cleared up or he may not be permitted
to start.

The summer racing season at Butte

MISLEADING LABELS
CAUSE PROSECUTION
Pure Food Agents AIIege the
Selling of ~ Pound Cans of
Corn as Weighing ? Pounds

Criminal proceedings have been be-
gun against the Audubon canning com
pany Of Iowa by the federal govern
ment pure food agents. and yesterday
1900 cases Of canned corn were seized
by United States Marshal Elliott in the
warehouses Of Getz Brothers & Co. and
Haas Brothers of San Francisco. Ac-
cording 10 the complaint sworn to be-
fore Assistant United States Attorney
Black, the pure food inspectors claim
that the cans Of corn DO not weigh two
pounds, despite the assertion of the
labels. The pure food inspectors assert
that there is but one pound and six
ounces Of corn in the cans.
Getz Brothers & Co. andNHaas Broth
ers We're put under bonds not to handle
any more short weight goods, although
they are held criminally responsible by
the pure food agents, as the two local
concerns received the canned goods
direct from the company in Audubon
where il was labeled. Criminal action

and canning companies whose products
do not come up TO the weight or meas
ure advertised on the labels.

PACIFIC GRAND HOTEL
FURNITURE IS SOLD
Foreclosure Proceedings Follow
Internal Strife in the
Management

The furniture Of the Pacific Grand
hotel was sold yesterday in foreclosure
proceedings instituted by Lawrence
Scott. the proprietor of the building, the
management Of the operating company
having been three months in arrears for
rent The furniture brought $4,000,
$1,000 Of which was paid in cash, the
remainder consisting of the taking over
by Scott Of two chattel mortgages on
The furniture.
The passing Of the Pacific Grand into
the hands of the owner of the building
puts an end 10 the Pacific Grand hotel
investment company, an Incorporation
which opened the house about a year
ago. For the last six months the two
principal stock holders and managers
OF the hotel, Z. r. Clute and A H. Hor-
ton, have been continually warning. An
attempt was made by the Horton fac
ton 10 Wrest the controlling interest in
The company from Clute. Clute resisted
the action and in the bitterness that
followed the contending parties came TO
blows in the hotel lobby Clute sue
ceeded in maintaining his hold TO the
end, although he saw fit to keep on
guard at all times men who could be
depended upon in case the Horton con-
Lngent tried to seize possession.
In this upset condition Of the man
agement the rent was allowed TO remain
unpaid for three months or more, the
amount due TO Scott the owner Of the
hotel, being in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The hotel has done a good
business and viii continue TO operate

of a bottle Of kerosene, Mrs. z. Britton
Of 1905 Tevis street was so severely

REMOVING TONS|LS
MAY REFORM YOUTH
Abnormal Growth Is Believed to
Have Developed Mania
for Burglary
Operation to- Be Performed on
Henry Frank Before He
Goes to Preston

OAKLAND, Oct 5.-The surgeon 8
knife will be called into requisition
to reform Henry Frank, youth who
has confessed to many petty burglaries
disturbing growth of the tonsils, in
the opinion of Probation Officer Reuss
has upset Franks moral balance. II
the tonsils are removed, Reuss is con-
fident that serious impediment to the
youths chances of becoming a good
citizen will have been overcome.
Judge ogden committed Frank to the
Preston School of Industry today al
lone, but before he departs Reuss has
arranged for an operation. The theory
is that there is intimate relation of the
tonsils with nerves emanating from
the brain and also that the blood supply
of the brain reacts disastrously when
the tonsils enlarge.
All probationers are given medical
inspection when such a condition is
suspected. Adenoids, spongy growth
at the back of the nasal passage and
above the tonsils, are scientifically re-
garded as a source of Juvenile delin-
quency. Defective hearing is also cata-
logued as a condition hostile to SYM
metrical development of young minds.
In addition to the abnormal tonsils
Frank was reported as handicapped
with the cigarette habit. He smokes
25 day and an attempt will be made
to break their hold.

CITY ORDERED TO
APPRAISE LANDS
Judge Harris Stops Delay in
Condemnation of Property
Owned by E. F. Adams
City Council Authorizes Sinking
of Well for Irrigation of
Park System

OAKLAND, Oct. 5.--A blow to the
policy of delay and obstruction adopted
by attorneys of Edison F. Adams was
given by Judge Harris today. The city
of Oakland sought to. condemn lands
east Of Fallon street and south OF
Twelfth street dam for public parks
Adams alleged that he could not tell
how much land he owned because a
disputed line in an old Spanish grant
was given as the eastern boundary Of
his holdings.
The description given by the city was
first attacked without success. Then
Adams repeated today that he could not
put valuation upon his land as he did
not know how much he owned. Judge
Harris ruled that the defense should go
ahead and place value on the amount
which the city asked.
A realty dealer was placed on the
stand TO testify, but objections were in
terposed by City Attorney McElroy on
the ground that the dealer could not
tell how much filling the land to a
proper grade would cost Arguments
Were heard and the case will go on to-
morrow
The city council tonight, acting upon
recommendation from the auditing
and finance committee, authorized the
board Of public works to sink well in
Adams point at a cost not to exceed
s40O. 1t is hoped in this manner to Sc
cure supply of water sufficient to ir-
rigate the extensive park tracts which
the city is preparing to lay out on the
shores Of Lake Merritt.
If the experiment is successful 1t will
obyiate the necessity of laying water
mains from Indian guloh or Cemetery
creek to the park. Several weeks ago
the board of works had about decided
the latter expedient would have to be
adopted, but City Engineer Turner,
after investigating the water prospects
on Adams point, recommended the
boring of well. Provided sufficient
water can be obtained from this source
the expense of the park irrigation pro-
Ject will be greatly reduced.

MRS. MARTIN WILL
GO TO TRIAL TODAY
Woman Charged With Dyna-
hitting Home of Judge Ogden
Will Face jury
Delays Finally Ended and Case
Will Undoubtedly Prove la
teresting in Many Ways

OAKLAND, Oct 5.-The first testi-
mony against Mrs. Isabella ]. Martin
will be heard before Judge Wells to-
morrow morning. Months of delay have
ensued since the woman was held to
answer in the superior court on a
charge of having blown up Judge Og-
denis home. When the case finally
came to trial delay followed to secure
special venire for a jury.
Superior Judge F. B. Ogden will pfob-
ably be the first witness. He will tes-
tify regarding the explosion and as
to threatening letters which he re-
ceived prior to the event. These have
been identified as Mrs. Martins hand
writing, according to experts for the
prosecution. The handwriting display
will be feature of the case, as numer-
Gus Photographic enlargements will be
shown to the jury.
The testimony of Baby John Martin,
the foster son, whose confession led to
her arrest. will not be heard for several
days. Interest in the battle centers
round the boy as witness for the prose-
cution. His testimony and cross exam
ination /at Mrs. Martins preliminary
hearing filled 600 typewriter pages and
will probably be more extensive during
the trial. District Attorney Donahue
and Assistant w. H. L. Hynes have
charge of the case against Mrs. Martin.

RIDICULES STORY
OF "FLYING BULLETS"
Dealer in Ammunition Replies
to Reports About Origin of
Fire at Belmont

Published statements in connection
with the fire at Belmont school Satur-
day, describing an alleged explosion of
cartridges which imperiled life and
limb, have called forth challenge
from Phil B. Bekeart. an ammunition
dealer of San Francisco. Bekeart has
written the following letter to The
Call:
Statements of this kind are anus
ing to people in the business-car-
tridges that are not confined G. e., in
a gun barreD are harmless. l donbt if
there is enough force to send a bullet
through the pasteboard box that holds
them. There is more danger from the
primer or cap blowing out backward,
as 1t is crimped in the shell harder
than the bullet.
Every time a fire occurs where there
is a gun store, or where any ammuni-
ton is stored, the reporter tells about
bullets flying thick etc. 1t is all
bunko.
When the storehouses and Easements
and floors of the Winchester and n. M.
c. company burned during our fire
April 1S, 1906, the same stories ap-
peared. After the fire cooled down
and the place could be entered, large
piles of bullets and melted lead and
shells were found peacefully below
where the cases stood. The piles were
symmetrical and showed that the bull
let's did not move foot.
