OLYMPIC STARS
WILL BE SEEN HERE

Manager Roy j. l.. Newhouser of the
George Washington track team has just
received the entry Of Porter, winner OF
the high jump in the Olympic games at
London last summer and who is consid-
cred to be the worlds champion at this
event. Although he is at present under
suspension by the American Amateur
Athletic Union on charges of having OBJ
tanned excessive ''expense money from
the management of the different meets
in which he has competed, il is expected
that by February Is. the date of the
George Washington meet. he Will haze
completely cleared himself and will ag,tin
he eligible to compete under The Amateur
Athletic Union.
Arrangements are also being made. al:
are in fact nearly completed, whe reby
four other stars will be seen in az ton.
These men are Bacon, Guessing. Hilman
and Muilisan All of these are the cream
of American athletes. Guessing is the
youngster who easily defeated Melv in
Sheppard in the 1,O30-yard run for the
American indoor championship abort
month ago Bacon is the crack hurdlcr,
who is also under suspension under the
same conditions as Porter. but 1t IS eX-
pected that he will get the matter
Strengthened out by that time. Muiligan
and Hiiman will probably run another
match race at quarter mile in addition
TO entering in the individual events.
In a similar race run mere last year
Hilman showed a true craftsmanship
spirit which will be remembered in Wash
ingtcn long after he has quit the running
game. Just after finishing the first lap
Muliisau tripped and fell Instead OF
finishing the race Hilman stopped. helped
him 10 his feet and offered to run the race
over again. This was done and Hilman
won Mulligan is getting in prime conuI-
ton and expects to turn the tables this
year.
Last years meet. which was the first
one the George Washington Athletic As
ISOLATION has ever held had the second
largest entry list of any Of the meets
held in the south, and Manager New

ANNAPOLIS. Md. January 2.-George-
town won from the Naval Academy at
the basket bar. game this afternoon by
the score of &c to "a, thus evening up
tor the single-tally defeat inflicted by
the Midshipmen two weeks ago
The game was hastily scheduled to take
the place Of the Columbia contest, which.
was called off, and there is talk OF a
third game to settle the tie. The play
ers worked SO eagerly today that they
incurred the penalty of numerous fouls.
and the teamwork was not of high
order on either side. Still it was made
interesting by frequent flashes of the
most brilliant kind of playing, about the
middle of the first half, Rice. the captain
of the visitors, throwing a goal while
sitting Nat on the floor. However he
lost chance for a more decisive vic
tory for his team by getting the back
stop in eleven out of thirteen chances for
goals from fouls. while Wilson Of the
Navy netted eight out OF fourteen.
The score was tied, % to ~, two min
utes before the close. and Gogsins' two
field goals against one scored by Mid
shipman Douglass gave the visiting team
the victory.
AT that point the contest was intensely
interesting, and the Navy supporters,
who were present in full force, hoped to
duplicate the feat Of two weeks ago and
snatch victory at the last minute by an
uphill fight. Goggin. who had scored but
one goal during the game, came to the
rescue, however, and Melted the bail for q
neat field goal. Then the Navy scored.
tying the score again. Gogsin again came
to the front withs the final score of the
game just as time was called.
The game looked like Georgetown's all
the way through. and the visitors had
distinctly the better OF the contest both
in individual work and team play. The
only loose play was the poor WORK of
Capt Rice i'm shooting goals from the
fou. line. His weakness in this part leu
lar would have lost a closer game and
prevented the victory of his team from
being more decisive. Georgetown scored
twelve field goals to the Nays eight. but
Wilson's good work In shooting eight
goaS out of fourteen chances from the
foul line pulled ZIP the score OF the locals.

NEW CITY OFFICIALS TO
ASSUME POSITIONS TODAY
Mayor of San Bernardino viii Turn
Over GaVeI to Incoming Chief
Executive

SAN BERNARDINO, May Ito
morrow at noon the new city officials
will take office. The last session of the
old council will meet at IL o'clock TO
transact what business they wish to
complete before turning over their
chairs to their successors.
At II o'clock Mayor j. ]. Hanford
officially will transfer the gavel to his
successor, Mayor-elect S. w. McNabb,
and the retiring members of the coun-
ell will pass over their chairs to the
new members.
Despite the fact of the bitter fight
which was waged by the Hanford party
before defeat was conceded, Hanford
for several weeks has done all in his
power to assist the incoming mayor
and his council in digesting the enor-
nous amount of red tape in connection
with numerous matters pending before
that body, particularly the bond issue
for street work, the contracts which
partially have been awarded, in order
that they will be able to handle the
matters intelligently.
The list Of appointments to be made
under the new administration practi-
cally is complete and probably will be
announced Monday night at the regular

Speaker illustrates Lecture with Pho.
tographs and Charts of CeIes-
tia Bodies

IAN Evening with the Stars" was
given last night by E. r. Baumgardt
in his travelogue series in Symphony
hall. To the average layman, listening
to the lecture, which was splendidly IL
Illustrated with charts and photographs
of the planets, the complicated mathe-
NAUTICAL problems were almost imcom-
prehensible. Millions of years and
miles in distance are impossible to
comprehend, but with the descriptions
given by the speaker the vast unity
of the universe as exemplified in it's
solar system was made interesting and
instructive.
The references to the work of the
observatory on Mount Wilson and its
discoveries, which have been added to
the knowledge of astronomy, were re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the audi
ence. Stereopticon views of celestial
negatives, obtained by Hale, Barnard,
Richie, Keller, Burnham and Roberts,
were shown. Mr.. Baumgardt also gave
interesting descriptions of the eclipses
and comets which will be visible in
this part of the world in 1910.

BELIEVE THEY WILL
CAPTURE MURDERERS
THINK THOSE WHO SLEW BABY
LIVE NEAR ONTARIO
Infant Is Thought to Have Been Slain
in Orange Grove and Mother
Was Ignorant of the
Crime

SAN BERNARDINO, May cit is
the belief of the sheriff's officers that a
solution of the recent murder of the
infant at Ontario will soon be had.
Under Sheriff Charles Ward has had
personal charge of the work of run
ming down the persons responsible for
the crime and already has threshed out
many clews.
The officers are firm in their theory
that the parties implicated reside with
in short distance of Ontario. 1t is
understood from the evidence now in
the possession of officer Ward the
crime points directly to persons whose
names are known, although since the
finding of the body of the murdered
baby they have disappeared.
In line with the original theory,
which Sheriff Ralphs still believes to be
the correct one, the Staying of the in
FAINT took place in the orange grove,
the mother being unaware of the crime
and undoubtedly an9innocent victim.
The news from Ward that he has I'M
earthed a likely clew, promising to lead
to the arrest of the guilty parties, has
been received here with much gratifica-
ton and the hunt will now go on with
renewed vigor.

Cline, a half-breed Indian, charged
with bootlegging. has been held to an
swer to the federal court.
Cline is alleged to have served as a

A bartender by the name of Nelson

to Indians, having sold a quantity to
Cline To avoid further trouble, Nell

having claimed the right to vote under

denying he is a reservation Indian.
