Wallop WallOwa
At Indoor Ball

In a one-sided but Interesting and
exciting game the Enterprise indoor
baseball team defeated the Wallowa
team at the Enterprise rink Saturday
night by a score of 40 to IA. The game
was never in doubt after the first inn
ing, but bits of good fielding by both
sides, the hard hitting and brilliant
base running by the locals and the en-
thusiasm OF the spectators kept the
interest up. The hall was fairly we'll
lighted in spite of the absence of cleo
trio Juice, and spectators filled all the
chairs and available standing room.
The Wallowa boys were short one man
and Ed Rodgers OF the local team was
loaned to them. He did yeoman SER
vice, scoring twice himself and bring
ing three or four of the other tallies
made by Wallowa by his hard hitting.
Bilyeu was puzzle to the Wallowa
heavy hitters, who struck weakly at his
wide outcurve ard swift raise. He was
also host at the bat. Il the locals
had THAR battiug clothes on and hit
Hayes at will. Their baseruninng was
as successful as daring. The game was
played so swiftly that the spectators
could hardly follow the plays. A. 9.
Miller gave satisfaction to both sides

WOMEN FRIENDS HEAR
FURY ADMIT HIS GUILT

Hailed into court on the charge of
defrauding a vehicle driver and forced
before a crowded courtroom to admit
his guilt, was the fate melted out yes
terday TO Charles +. Fury, known as
Doc" Fury, ex-cafetier but now an
alleged skin specialist. To make mat
ters worse half dozen of Fury's fair
patients, who, according to the evil
dence introduced were principally to
blame, We're present to witness his
humiliation.
Fury was charged by A. G. FaulK-
ner of the Thomas auto rental service
at Polk and Turk STREETS with refus-
ing to pay $3.50 due Tor auto hire
Faulkner testified that Fury was ac-
customed, single handed. to entertain
five or six women at a time with auto
rides to the beach. and that he never
went on such rides unless accompanied
by at least three enchantresses.
Fury asked Judge Cabaniss before
whom his case was tried for a little
longer time in which to settle up his
debt BY consent of the complaining
witness the court allowed him a week.
Fury left the courtroom followed by
most of the fair spectators.

CHAPARRAL CARTOONS
JORDAN'S NEW PROJECT

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April IT
The recently divulged plan of Presi-
dent David Starr Jordan of Stanford
university to eliminate freshmen and
sophomore students from the institu-
ton in five years and effect a senior
university was given a humorous slap
this morning in the Stanford Chaparral
in the shape of a cartoon, which has
forced the campus community to hold
its sides for mirth. Instead of the Gus
tomary college scenes upon the quad
rangle the artist Of the Chaparrai has
sketched from imagination the appear
ance of the undergraduates 10 years
hence, when the plan is in effect
Students with chin whiskers and
gray hair are grouped in familiar
poses about the statues in memorial
court, while bespectacled women, in the
autumn of life, are sketched attending
their classes. The drawing is the
work of Stuart Macdonald, a sophie
more, and has caused more comment
than any drawing which has appeared
in some time. The college clothes
worn by graybeards and freshman hats
perched on bald pates are features OF
the sketch.

CHECK is PAYMENT
ONLY WHEN CASHED

The loss resulting from the draw
safe deposit and trust company the day
the bank suspended, October 80, 1907,
must fall upon tina drawer of the check,
under an interesting decision handed
down by Judge Hunt yesterday in the
case OF the Pioneer automobile COM
pany against G. Franchini An auto
mobile was bought from the company
by rranohini, who on October so gave
a check for $1,000 in payment of the
balance Of the purchase price. The
closing OF the bank the same day
made the check worthless and the au-
tomobile company sued Franchini for
the sum. Franchini claimed that the
acceptance of the check by the COM
pany operated as payment of the debt.
"A check given in satisfaction of
an Indebtedness is not a payment un-
less the creditor expressly agrees to
receive it as such, and there was no
such agreement in this case" states
the opinion. When the payee of a
check is a creditor of the drawer the
implication is that a check delivered
to him is only to be regarded as pay
ment when it is cashed. for until
cashed it is merely an order upon a
banker to pay on demand a given
amount of money"
The judge decided therefore that the
loss must fall upon Franchini, and
entered judgment in favor of the au-
tomobile company for the amount
claimed-S1, 500.

ALLOWS MISSION TO
REPAIR FRAME HOUSE

Acting on the advice of City Attor-
ney Long the board of works granted
permission yesterday TO the conductors
of the "Whosoever WIFI mission at 475
Pacific street to make necessary repairs
on the building which was recently
damaged by fire. The fire marshal OBJ
jected to permit being granted, as
the mission is a frame structure and
within the fire limits. Long held that
as the supervisors had decreed that all
temporary wooden buildings might re-
main within the fire limits until May.
1910, the right to grant permit to re-
pair them rested in the discretion of the
works board.
Commissioner Day was instructed TO
call on Mayor Taylor and inform him
that the public will be put to great
inconvenience If he insists that all per-
mits issued by the board must be acted
upon at an open meeting of the commits
sion. Such course would result in
building and other permits being hung
up until the board meetings, which are
held only twice a week

NEWS OF COUNTIES BORDERING THE BAY
LEAGUE WILL BALk
MACHINE JOBBERY
Primaries in Third District De-
Cided Upon by Lincoln
Roosevelt Republicans

OAKLAND. April lin view of the
failure of the third district congress
sional republican committee to make
any move toward resembling its job
berry as to appointment of delegates
to the district convention for choos-
ing district delegates to the national
republican convention the Lincoln
Roosevelt republican league has de-
cided TO hold primaries throughout the
third district The league will name
delegates I'm every assembly district
and viii vote on them at the regular
mandatory primaries. and also in dis
tricts where the rank scheming by the
Herrin congressional crowd has called
for appointments.
TISDALE TALKED IN RIDDLES
That Or. C. L. Tisdale. chairman of
the third district republican committee,
talked In riddles with members of the
league concerning a proposed confer
enee over the primaries is conceded
now by persons who waited on him.
Among these was +. +. Morse of Sem
mary avenue. Fruitvale. vice presi-
dent of the league in the fifty first
assembly district
Morse said that he spoke TO Tisdale
over the phone Wednesday relative to
the way in which the delegates to the
convention of the third congressional
district were to be chosen. Accord
ing 10 Morse Tisdaie said that all of
the delegates in the fifty-first district
would be elected and that probably as
many as two would be appointed in
the fifty district. Morse said
that ne clearly remembered that lis
dale stated that all of the delegates
from the fifty-first district would be
elected.
In the call for the congressional
primary it is set forth that four dele
gates are TO be appointed from the
fiftyfrst district and one delegate from
the fifty-second district.
DOUBTS WORD TO USE
Morse has not quite decided what to
think of Tisdale. He does not feel
quite sure that he should use that
shorter and uglier word though the tes-
timony seemed to warrant it. The
league has satisfied itself that there
will be no conference. The situation
has been eanvassed during the last
few days and the decision has been
reached that the district republicans
who have been disfranchised by the
third district committees appointing
Job VIII have to fight 1T out on other
lines. Since the announcement of a
possible conference was made it is un-
derstood that the machine has put ire
mendous pressure upon the members of
the committee TO stand pat. and that a
majority cannot be found to act. so
sharply has the Herrin whistle been
blown.
Tisdale, whose support of the gang
won him the coronership of Alameda
county last fall, has declared within
a day or so with much strong Ian
guage that he Will not make a move
to rectify the political wrong which
has been done to the republicans OF
the third district.

Ali and Kahn We're proceeding slow

two deafening explosions occurred. AT
the first report Kahn yelled. There

later another and more terrific report
rent the air. As he picked himself up
Ali yelled. There goes our enchilades.

make. It's your fault for shooting
too much of that hot stuff into them
The entire neighborhood was awak-
ened by the explosions and several
hundred people gathered on the scene.
Both Kahn and Ali narrowly escaped
serious injury. An inspection of the
gasoline tank showed that it had been
punctured nine times by as many en-
chiladas, which escaped without a
scratch.
