Pains In
the Stomach
Caused BY Gas and Foul Odors
Speedily Removed by Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package by Mail. Free.

Pyrosis (gastric PAIN. gastritis and
many other stomach and bowel troubles
caused by formation of gas, are almost
instantly removed by generous use
of Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges.
These little lozenges kill bad breath
and stop gas making by oxidizing the
odors and gases. Charcoal absorbs one
hundred times itself in gas. They turn
foul fumes and gases into oxygen,
which sweeten the system They are
made from pure willow and sweet
honey and are a delightful aid to the
mouth, stomach and bowels. The Japa-
nese use charcoal for a toothwash and
an old Chinese proverb runs thus:
Sweet is the breath of a Niponese
(Japanese).
The mouth fluids are alkaline. thus
waste food held by tooth cavities Is
attacked and decays rapidly causing
foul odors to arise. Charcoal renders
the saliva sweet by oxidizing it and
does away with foul lamentations and
decay.
Every druggist carries Stuart's Char
coal LoZenges and many thousands of
sufferers from gas, foul breath, etc. use
these little lozenges. thus proving their
popularity and their merit. Charcoal
is one of the best a1l-around cieansers
the system may partake of and too
much of 1t can not be taken. An entire
box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges NAV
be eaten with freedom and only good
Will result.
Go TO your druggist Immediately. buy
and prove these facts yourself; it will
cost you but twenty-five cents. or send
us your name and address and we will
send you trial package free Is this

Investigate Ferries Crash

An investigation was begun yester-
day by Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers
o. f. Bolles and j. K. Bulger to ascer-
tain the cause of the accident Sunday
night when the ferry boat Berkeley,
In a dense fog, crashed into the Oak
land slip OF the Southern Pacific com
pany and caused the death of Kath-
crime Crowley and injured seriously
four other passengers on the steamer.
According to the testimony 80 far
taken the captain of the Berkeley did
not realize, owing to the fog, that he
was so near the pier. and that the
heavy steamer did not respond quickly
to the engines.
The first witness called was Captain
E. A. Johnson, who was in charge of
the boat at the time. According to
his testimony the weather was too
thick to allow him to know his exact
behring's, as there was strong tide of
six miles an hour running and he
had been forced to stop several times
during the trip from the San Francisco
side. He testified that as soon as he
saw the pier he rang for full speed
astern, but the boat was too heavy TO
respond Immediately to the engines and
the crash came before he was able to
The San Francisco call., 1908-12-10

change the direction of the vessel by
the rudder.
The second officer. Emil Nelson. and
Frank Arvilla, a deck hand, were on
the lookout and both testified that
1T was impossible to see any distance
in the fog. They testified that they
had recognized the sound of the fog
horn on Goat island and heard the fog
bell on the Southern Pacific pier, but
were deceived as to the distance of the
boat from the landing. All of the wit
nesses testified that the boat was run
ming very slow. In their opinion the
tide had more to do with the accident
than the failure of the engines TO
check the headway.
The hearing was not concluded ow-
ing to the absence of Special Police
man ]. King, who was ordered to ap-
pair before the inspectors Friday
morning at 10 o'clock, when the exami-
nation will be resumed Other wit
nesses examined were C. c. Anderson,
first officer; James Peacock, chief en-
gineer; James Daymon, first assistant
engineer, and Julius Fernandez, deck
hand.

asked for nothing more than justice at
the hands of the jury. but not until he
had called attention to the inconsistent

confessor, but now attempting to evade
due punishment He closed his argu
ment with the following words:
You, gentlemen of the jury. after all

of this cause. You are the arbiters of

when the evidence is all one way,
when there is not word of denial.

Interruptions Unheeded

Notwithstanding repeated Interrupt
tions by the frenzied Ruef attorneys,
Johnson told of how one jury briber
associated with Ruef had been con-
victed and was on his way to prison
and others were doomed TO follow. Ex
ceptions and objections made by Ach
and Dozier In an attempt to interrupt
the speaker went unheeded,, and John
son continued, saying:
Away with suborners of perjury!
All, yesi Away with bribers of wit
nesses; away with bribers of jurors.
Thank God, some of them are on their
way to state prison now. and some
of them are being tried today

rupted- Henry Ach. Johnson tried once
more to continue. but Dozier was on
his feet shouting:
"One moment. Mr.. Johnson. We de-
remarks of counsel about the bribers of
jurors and that some of them are on
their way to state prison, as being
entirely outside the record
Johnson mimicked Dozier's tone and
then continued, turning his denuncia-
tion against the attorney from Shasta.
He can take no exception to any
remark that is made; that is all right,
Johnson cried. They can take eXcep-
tion if they will They can except to
all. I listened to the remarks of the
gentleman who has just been entering
his exception. / listened to his dulcet
tones throughout this trial.

Some Lawyers Honest

1t may be that to the core, from
dealing with corporations alone. from
teaching those who would break the
law to skate on thin ice unscathed,
that lawyers have become mere licensed
highwaymen and buccaneers in all
transactions with municipal life. But,
thank God, gentlemen, there are some
of us yet who believe in the purity
of the profession and in its pristine
principles and who believe that any
lawyer who would accept money under
the guise of a fee for doing nothing
but purchasing supervisors should be
in stripes in the state prison. and that
any man whose ethics are so low as to
believe that such a thing is legitimate
or justified is only fit to accompany the

of a highwayman, abstracted in the

pressed his deepest sorrow that the
legal profession has been degraded to
such filthy standard. The prosecutor
declared that Notwithstanding such buc-
caneering methods, there were yet hon
est lawyers in the profession. In these
words he scored Ruefs methods:
Just look at Parkside. Take the
$4,000 fee he got. That was all
right" says Ach; that was all right"
That may be some mems idea of the

it may be that this profession of ours

KID SLIM DEFEATS KID
SHORTY AT SOUTH SIDE
Youthful Fighters Go Three Fast
Rounds at Doyle's Camp and Are
Heartily Applauded by
Spectators

Fight fans who journeyed out to
the South Side club to see Freddie
Welsh in action yesterday were treated
to a main event attraction that COM
pIetely outshone the efforts of the
clever Englishman, though the latter
tried faithfully to throw his rivals in
the shade. The surprise was staged
while Welsh was resting up after one
of his fast sessions.
Mano Fan, who claims to be some as
an announcer, climbed into the ropes
and introduced the stars, Kid Shorty
aged 7, and Kid Slim, aged ~. After
the usual preliminaries the two fight
ers shook hands and prepared for the
fray. Eddie Keevin holding his dollar
Ingersoll to keep tab on the minutes,
and Jim Gaines acting as referee.
Round 1-They met in mid ring and
proceeded to get to close quarters, Kid
Shorty displaying keen footwork, While
Kid Slim exhibited good left. To-
ward the close of the round Kid Shorty
scored a right butt with his head on
the Jaw and the other battler took the
count of nine, the bell saving him.
Round 2-Amid rousing cheers the
two fighters stood in mid ring and
slammed away at each other, the ref
cree trying hard to separate them, and
finally exerting all his force and get
ting between them on the demand OF
the crowd for clean fighting. 1t was
Kid Sims round by good margin
as he ran away faster and had better
teeth.
Round 3-The men started in to fight
a WhirlWind scrap, but Referee Gaines
forgot his instructions from the pro-
moters and warned them ITO desist such
hard work on pain of suspicion of
taking. The men got to close quar-
tiers and Slim wins by right punch
to Jaw.

Motorcycle enthusiasts will concen-
trate their attention today and to-
morrow on the fair grounds at F'res-
no, where several local and northern
boys will try to smash all chug wag-
on records in a race meet. The fea-
ture of the meeting Is the appearance
of Paul ]. @. Derkum, holder of the
worlds records for all distances made
on the circular track up to and includ-
ing ten miles. His presence has at
tracted a considerable gathering OF
those interested in the speed machines,
and as he will try to beat his own
time, the meet may become a matter
of motorcycle history. Derkum has
decided to go after the standing figures
for the half mile, one mile and ten
mile events.
In addition to the appearance of the
Los Angeles boy, there will be an ex-
hibition race between Derkum and e.
Z. E,arhart, his racing partner. Ben
Bresee, a Fresno lad, will appear in
the regular races, and also Will meet
Derkum in a special match for side
bet of $500. He will be strongly sup
ported to win, as the fans OF the raisln
town think he Is unbeatable, but local
men who have seen Derkum perform
don't give him 1ook-in.

Fresno chlg men in the program. me
meet will extend today and tomorrow,
and there will be ten events in addition
to the exhibition and match races IN
which Derkum is entered The meet
was postponed from last week on ac-
count of the latter date conflicting
with a big baseball game at Fresno.
Derkum and his racing partner nave
received their now racing machines
from the Hendee company. They are
said to be the fastest machines or
their horsepower rating in the world,
and it is claimed that they can beat
even the speedy Liz" Derkum's pet
machine, with which he made all ex-
listing worlds records on circular
track.
Should Derkum succeed in making
new worlds records for the distances
over which he will race today and to-
morrow, it is probable that he will go
east and make a tour of the large cit
les, meeting all Corners in distances up
to, ten miles. He will go billed as the

Angeles, and should create a decided
sensation with his spectacular riding,
at the same time giving the Angel city

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-It Is
impossible to call what happened at
Recreation park today baseball. 1t was
more in the nature of a bang-up vau-
deville stunt, with the four pitchers
who were used in the course of the aft
ernoon taking the leading parts.
At first the fans were perhaps dis
gusted, but the runs, hits, errors and
dummy plays of all kinds became SO
numerous 1t became an uproarious
farce, which all thoroughly enjoyed.
It began IN the first inning, when the
Seals made two runs off Randolph
without a hit, but aided materially by
three errors. In the fourth they added
three more ON four hits, one being a
three-bagger by Henley. But the tall
Seal was about due for his. and when
Kitty Brashear cleaned up the bases
in the sixth with a two-bagger the
score stood z to 6. Then Willis went in
for the Seals and Thorsen for the Dill
lonites, and what happened to the big
Angel was awful to see. Ten runs and
seven hits in two innings is going some.
Los Angeles made a gallant attempt
to tie 1t up in the ninth, but they
were able to make ony four runs of
the ten needed. Score:
