THE STREET TO DIE
Gary Foreigner Held UP by
Two. Highwaymen, Who
Rob Him.

Shot through the leg and with four
bad scalp wounds on his head, Joe Be-
TUX, a foreigner living at Eighteenth
avenue and Connecticut street, was
left to die on the sidewalk after he
had been robbed by highwaymen, who
made their escape,
The holdup is considered one of the
most daring that has occurred at the
local police station for some time. Bo-
TUX was walking down Madison street,
near Eleventh avenue, with his friend,
Joseph Serfranski. about 9 o'clock last
night The two men had been drink
ing and had just left a saloon and were
about to return to their home. AS they
approached the Gary Lumber COM
pany's sheds two men sprang from
the corner and told the two foreigners
to hold up their hands. Botiuk began
to defend himself. but Serfarski took
to his heels. Running down Jefferson
street Serfranski met Officer George
Nestorovich. to whom he told his story.
The two men started to run to the as
sistance of Botiuk when they heard a
shot fired Reaching the place where
the holdup occurred they found Botiuk
lying on the sidewalk with blood
streaming from his head. The man
was in a dazed condition and unable
to tell which way the highwaymen had
gone. A search was made and 1t was
found that Botiuk had been robbed of
$37. The pocket in his trousers which
contained the money had been cut
away No trace of the holdup men
could be found, although several Of
hcers were dispatched to work on the
case. Two suspects were brought in
during the night. but they were re-
/ leased
A call was sent in for Jones ambu-
Lance and Botiuk was taken to Mercy
hospital, where the bullet was ex-
tracted by DR.. H. NJ Hosmer. His con-
dition is not thought to be serious

Frank Steel Is Picked Up by Safety

The effectiveness of tenders on inter-

Gay when the life of Detective Frank
Steel was saved by one of the devices.
Had it not been for the fender on the
Pasadena car which swung around the
corner Of Main and First streets and
struck the detective he would have
been crushed beneath the wheels of the
car.
He had stopped to answer ques-

did not hear the car as it came around
the corner. He rolled into the fender
and was only slightly bruised. Scram-

when the car stopped, he jokingly re-

SACRAMENTO, Feb. ia situa-
ton similar to that which prevailed in
the south when the Civil War was
over now exists in the state of Cali
fornia"
This simple statement, without eX-
PLANTATION or elaboration, was made by
John w. Preston, Democratic assem-
blyman from Ukiah, in the course of an
address made in the assembly cham
ber during the exercises held by the
legislature in cOmmemOratiOn of the
centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth.
1t was the only reference to tbs
Japanese question made during the
joint session at which Lincoln was
eulogiZed by Governor James n. Gill
lett, Senator Henry NJ Willis and AS
semblymen Preston and j. n o. Rech
of Los Angeles.
Mr. Preston supplemented his praise
of Lincoln by declaring the southern
states now realized that the confed-
eracy had made a mistake when it
contested with. the northern states for
the right to own slaves. The assembly
chamber was crowded with members
of the legislature. state officials and
citizens The walls and galleries were
decorated with American flags and
shields, while potted plants made the
immense hall a bower of verdant
beauty.
The gathering was presided over by
Lieutenant Governor Warren r. Por.
ter, who was introduced by Speaker
Philip A. Stanton.
Tribute Is Eloquent
Governor Gillett's speech was an
eloquent tribute to the martyred presi-
dent
The legislature transacted much
routine business during the day. In
the assembly many bills were intro
dqced. 1t was the last day for this
order Of business and the record was
| broken when J. P. Trapsue of Los An
geles presented the last of 14O0 intro
duced by the membership of 80 during
the 40 days just ended.
Harry Polsley of Sierra county
caused a furore by the introduction of
a resolution criticising the state fish
and game commission for alleged dila-
toriness in not presenting its regular
annual report The document called
for an investigation of the affairs of
the commission.
There was a brief skirmish over. the
banking bill drawn by the committee
appointed by the last legislature, Grove
l.. Johnson of Sacramento and r. L.
Beardslee of Stockton objecting to
several minor provisions.
Speaker Stanton, who introduced the
measure in the lower house for the
committee, took the floor to defend it,
but was interrupted by the five min
Utes of silence devoted to Lincoln, and
discussion was postponed until next
Thursday.
The assembly adjourned until Mon
day
In the senate D. J. Reilly of San
Francisco introduced a bill prohibiting
theatrical performances of any kind on
Sunday, making the penalty a fine Of
not less than 5000 nor more than $500,
or Imprisonment in jail not less than
two nor more than six months.
