ARRESTED HUNTERS
ARE HEAVILY FINED
Cunning Violator of Game Laws
Is Caught After Two
Years Watching

Walter Louis, a hunter who operates
in the Prunedale section. east of Cen
terville. was caught last Friday with
an excess baggage of quail after two
years careful watching by Deputy Fish
and Game Commissioner Frank Shook.
Louis pleaded guilty and paid fine of
500, Judge David Wallace of Salinas
notifying the prisoner that a repetition
of the offense would call for the max
days in prison.
With remarkable cunning Louis has
eluded the vigilance of the officials for
the last two years making his bag and
either bringing it in person or through
an accomplice to the San Francisco
market in a suit case or trunk When
the arrest was made Louis had a tele-
scope basket containing 16S quail, the
lawful bag being 20.
Judge J. $. Cluck of Visalia assessed
hnes OF 500 each against ID. l.. Thomp-
son and II. NJ. Thompson of Alpaugh
Tulare county, they having pleaded
guilty to killing more than the legal
limit of wild ducks. S l.. N Ellis the
arresting deputy, had been watching
these men and discovered that they
were shipping the game into the San
Francisco market in bags containing
% each, marking the tags with bogus
names and claiming the different ship
ments on arrival. 1t was found that in
one day one of the men had shipped
seven separate bags, making the con-
traband duck business profitable
proposition.
1t is the opinion of the commissioners
that the heavy penalty now being i'm
posed by the trial judges.will tend to
decrease the number of offenses; as a
matter of fact shipments to the local
market have dropped from so to three
bags within the last three days

MRS. TILTON MAY
LEAVE ASYLUM
Petition TO Remove Guardian of
S50,000 Estate Is Partly
Heard

That Mrs. Chloe Tilton widow of
Charles Tilton, who was formerly the
surveyor of the city and county of San
Francisco. is perfectly sane, notwith-
standing that she has been confined in
the asylum at Napa since April Is, 1905,
was stated in Judge Coffey's court yes
terday by r. F. Crawford, a former
Judge of the superior court in Sonoma
county A motion to remove Ida A.
Killey, cousin of Mrs. Tilton, from her
guardianship was partly heard by
Judge Cofey and continued to next
Friday Mrs. TiIton is said to own
property worth 100000.
II have been to see Mrs. Tilton a
number of times" testified Crawford,
and in my opinion she is very
bright, Intelligent lady, fully compe-
tent TO manage her own affairs. She
recognized me at once when she saw
me walking up the pathway.
Dr. Elmer E. Stone, superintendent
of the asylum, testified that Mrs. Til
ton is suffering from a form of mania,
but that it would be safe TO release
her from the asylum if she were placed
in the care of competent nurse. She
is not violent, he said.
Mrs. Killey. the guardian, stated that
for 20 years before the death of
Charles Tilton he put up with his wife's
willfulness and eccentricities because
he had sworn an oath never to place
her in an asylum But finally he was
forced to have her committed to Napa,
the guardian asserts, and the thought
that he had broken his oath caused
him to brood so that his life was de-
stroyed and ruined. He gave no atten-
tion to his business. and when he died
a year later he was insolvent
The guardian complains that she has
been harassed and insulted by hordes
of friends" who wish to get Mrs. TIL
ton out of the asylum so AS TO find
employment for certain persons as at

The idea OF the sign was proposed by

would remain ip position until the
Panama Pacific international exposition
had become a matter of history
The exposition was Endorsed at a
special meeting of the board of direc-
tors OF the San Francisco motor club
last week, and the club offered its
services in promoting the fair and as
sisting the committee in every possible
way A suggestion also was made
through President Henry NJ. Owens and
Secretary William r. Johnson that the
club should hold a great automobile
road race during the exposition.
At the annual meeting Of the en-

Former Captain OF Police Con-
boys Trial Begins Before

Three Jurors Passed as Result
of Proceeding of the
First Day

That the prosecution will ask Tor the
hanging penalty in the case of former
Captain of Police Michael Joseph Con
nard Lagan began before Judge Dunno
yesterday, was Indicated by the ques-
tions asked the talesmen by Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt. The
Lagan family has retained Hiram w.
Johnson special prosecutor and
Johnson appeared in the case for the
first time yesterday, assisting McNutt
in the examination of jurors. Attor-
ney j. j. Dunno, who has represented
Conboy during the proceedings before
the police commission and in the police
court, appeared alone for the defense.
That the police captain shot Lagan
in self-defense will be the ground upon
which the jury will be asked by Dunno
to return verdict of not guilty. Dunno
asked each talesman whether or not he
had any prejudice against self-defense
as the defense to a charge of murder
Dunno was also anxious to know if the
jurors have any feeling against the po-
lice department.
Talesmen were freely excused be-
cause they had formed opinions con-
corning the case from what they had
read OF tne shooting In the newspapers.
One declared that he believed police
men were paid to preserve order, and
that he could not give fair trial to
policeman who, while drunk, shot
citizen.

Ryo Fukuta, the little Nippon who
claims the championship of this coun-
try at tire jiu jitsu style Of wrestling,
worsted another big fellow last night
at Maud Junction in the person of C.
F. Newman, a Peruvian, taking two
straight falls, the first from an over
head swing completed with a leg and
arm lock, accomplished in the first
fifty seconds the second fall taking
two minutes and ten seconds resulting
from a double arm lock and choke
hold. Newman was no match for the
brown jiu jitsu artist and does not
look like much of a terror at any de-
partment of the mat game.
The second preliminary between
Fred johnson and Wa Kanoura gave
the gallery of Japanese fans the thrills
of the evening. Slightly heavier than
the SWede. the oriental wrestler had
his hands full in warding off defeat,
and the evenness of the bout increased
the interest. The Nippon secured a
full Nelson on Johnson in the first
minute Of the go, but 1t was broken.
Johnson went down half a minute
later from a half Nelson and arm hold
Johnson had all the better of the sec
ond milling and finally forced the Nip
pom to the mat with a bar lock. No
advantage was scored on either side
in the third round.
Nakajima defeated Ito in two out
of three falls at jlu jitsu for the first
preliminary of the evening. Onemo
acted as referee.

Offer to Champ if He viii
Meet Two Other Smokes

NEW YORK, Dec. eff Jack john
son will agree to fight both Joe jean
nette and Sam Langford with the
next six months he can pocket $4,000 in
sure money, regardless of results. Vic
tor Breyer, promoter of a big boxing
club in Paris, is on record with an Of
fer of a $4,000 guarantee to Johnson
for a 20-round fight with Jeanette in
that city. Hugh Mcintosh is also ready
to pay $4,000 to Johnson, wn, lose or
draw, if he will meet Sam Langford IN
a 20-round bout in London during
Coronation week. Mcintosh names as
a condition, however, the posting of a
900 forfeit by Joanson to guarantee
his appearance.
Johnson has eatedly sneered at
CHALLENGES from. Jeannette and Lang
ford and has been practically safe in
so doing, as no American promoter has
shown a desire to secure either match,
but with real money hung up in Paris
and London, Johnson, it appears, will
be compelled to place himself finally on
record one way or another.
The big negro champion has ended
his theatrical engagements and intends
to take a long rest because Of the shat
tered condition of his nervous system.
But after two months in retirement,
Johnson may recover sufficiently to be
able to talk business.
Meanwhile Langford and Jeanette
will have another 15-round fight in
Boston in the near future. and If Lang
ford repeats his victory Of several
weeks ago his right to a match with
Johnson will be materially strength
ened.
