PRIESTS SPEAK IN FAVOR
OF SUNDAY BALL PLAYING

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 14.-Declaring
there is no harm in Sunday baseball,
three priests, one of whom has been
recommended to the pope as a success
sor to Bishop Thomas F. Lillis, at a
banquet in Kansas City, Kas., last
night approved of the sport on that
day as a good way to keep young men
from loafing on the streets.
Father Sigismund Pierron, Father
John Ward and Father Pattick Nc
Inerny, all of Kansas City, Kas., said
they had attended ball games played
on Sunday during the summer. They
not only sanctioned the game because
it decreased lettering on the corners,
but as being beneficial physically and
mentally.
Father Pierron told the banqueters
that he had played ball on Sunday
with a team organized by the young
men of his parishes.
Father Ward, who spoke strongly
in favor of the games on the Sabbath,
is one of the three whose names have
been sent to the pope from which a
bishop will be named.

8O-YEAR RESIDENT OF Los
ANGELES HURT BY AUTO
Man of 80 Years, Riding Bicycle,
Perhaps Fatally Injured by
Motor '39317 Call

j. BarroWs, so years old, a pioneer,
who came to Los Angeles so years ago,
is in a critical condition at his home
at 23G West jefferson street, as a re-
suit of being struck by an automobile
while he was riding his bicycle at
Jefferson street and Grand avenue at
5:15 o'clock Thursday night.
The aged man was on his way home
and was just turning the corner at
Jefferson street and Grand avenue
when an automobile, said to be carry
ing license number "3S3l7 CAL" going
at a good rate of speed, struck him and
hurled him to the pavement. After the
accident the driver Of the auto stopped,
assisted the injured man to the auto
mobile, and took him to his home. The
autoist then went away without Civ
ing his name.
The matter was not brought to the
attention of the police until last night,
when a witness Of the accident ap-
peared, informed the officers of the
accident, and gave them the license
number Of the vehicle. AS this number
is one of the latest issued by the secre-
tary of the state the police have no
record of the owner of the auto.
Barrows suffered contusions and
abrasions on both hands and severe
bruises on his right knee. Because of
his advanced age the physicians say
his injuries may result fatally
The aged man was one of the first
American settlers in Los Angeles. He
came to this city 60 years ago and has
been living here since that time.

CHARLTON CASE RECORD
WILL GO TO WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The COM
plete records of the proceedings in the
Charlton case in the New Jersey state
courts will not be transmitted to the
state department for review Charl-
toms attorneys may apply to the fed
eral court for the district of New Jer-
sey for a writ of habeas corpus for
his release while the matter is pend
ing in the state department. In the
event the writ is refused Charlton still
has resort to an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States.
1t is customary for the state depart
ment to await the final determination
of court proceedings before acting ir
extradition cases, therefore it may be
MANY months before the United States
government decides whether it will
grant the application of the Italian
government for the extradition OF
Charlton.

CLAIMS LIVERYMEN FAIL
TO COMPLY WITH LAW
Charge Made Public Vehicle Own
ers Neglect to Paint Their
Names on Carriages

Dan F. Hogan of the Westlake sta
bles, j. f. Hart of Hart Bros, livery
men, and A. p. Welcome of the Lusk
Cab company appeared before Police
Judge Frederickson yesterday. charged
with failure to comply with the CITY
ordinance requiring all proprletors OF
public vehicles to pant their names
on the outside of the carriages. They
were arrested by Police License IN
spector Harry L. Varey.
Paul Schenck appeared as attorney
for Hogan, and contended that the or
dinance on which the men were ar
rested was virtually repealed when an
other ordinance was passed requiring
them to paint their names on the
drivers boot" The cases were con-
tinued until next Thursday.
Attorney Schenck, IN court yester-
day, stated that Varey arrested Ho-
gan because the latter had filed SUIT
in the superior court against hlm'
asking $1,000 damages for false arrest.
Varey was served with a complaint
and summons in the case as he was
leaving police court yesterday
Varey arrested Hogan September IL
as he was attending a funeral as a
pallbearer on charge of violating an
ordinance which he thought was still
in existence, but which had been re-
pealed. Hogan accuses Varey of us
ing threatening language toward him
when he arrested him.
Varey has arrested Hogan several
times before, but each time Hogan
either has been dismissed from the
charge or given suspended sentence
He filed charges against Varey with
the police commission last week, but
the commission refused to hear the
matter, although the chief of police
had suggested that an investigation be
made.
Hogan also caused the arrest of
Varey on a charge of false arrest.
Varey will have a trial in the police
court next week on the charge.

But if you win and the things are true,
Which the farmer folk have heard of you,
We mean to gather, young and old,
Tonight to have our fortunes told
THE Prince took Muffles on his arm
And said politely, 1--WE mean no harm:
And this, my cat, I'm sure can do
Some fortune-telling tricks for you;
But we don t like the bossy way
In which you come to us today;
Our camping place and all around
This brook and hill is public ground;
And Mr.. Farmer, if you re wise
You'll take off your hat and apologize. /"
The farmers face grew crimson red
He stamped his foot and shook his head
And said: "Ill show you and Jour cat
That you can't talk to me like that
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-02-06

"I hear" said he to Prince Domino
.That you are running Gypsy show
And telling fortunes; and that your cat
Can see right through fellows hat;
Can read my thought; make me obey
The commands you give; each word you say
Now, Mr.. Prince, if that's your name
I've called around to learn your game,
And if you fail at this Gypsy play
Your camp and cat will move today;

"Dey seem so glad wifi me to be
Dis pickaninny set 'em free
Den when de fire got good and h-hot
De gray one he Hook in de pot
Den whisper something to de w-white
An quick as s-scat dey out of sight"
The Prince just laughed and to Dinkey said
You get some pepper, salt and bread,
And boiled potatoes and onions, too,
And I'll get rabbits for the Stew
Then he spoke to Muffles and off they went,
Back in the woods behind the tent,
The cat ahead as the Princes guide
In search of the place where rabbits hide.
Mufles soon found the white and gray
The very two that ran away.
He used his eyes, those eyes of blue
And looked those rabbits through and through
Then turned about with Domino
And started back to the tent to show
The other boys what a cat can do
When he looks at eyes with eyes of blue.
For the white and gray hoped close behind
AS if the cat controlled each mind
THE Jap was ordered to prepare the two
And get them ready for the stew
While Dinkey grinned all round each cheek
And kept at work, but he didn t speak
The Prince and Dutchy lay down to rest
While the Jap and Dinkey did their best
To prepare each dish in an extra way
To please Prince Domino that day.
And this they did, for the meal that night
Was cooked for royal appetite;
And late that night before they went to bed
Prince Domino to Dinkey said:
your dinner, Captain, was simply great.
l don't remember when I ate
Such hearty meal as that today
If you keep it up III raise your pay"
The Captain laughed and said that he
Didn't know ver' much bout cookery
But dat ere Jap he know his biz
He just wonder, sure he is
THE following day farmer came
To make complaint about killing game
And about building fires SO near his fence
And other things; just all pretense
To get chance to have a chat
With Prince Domino about his cat
This crusty farmer some talk had heard,
Which to his mind had seemed absurd;

But Muffles closed the interview;
For with one look from his eyes of blue
That farmer said to Domino:
"Take away your cat and let me 60"
But Muffles's face seemed calm and wise,
AS he looked into that farmers eyes;
While Captain Dinkey and the little Jal
Were both much frightened at the scrap,
And Dutchy, hiding behind a tree,
Was peeping round the edge to see;
But Domino showed royal grit
And didn't scare or bulge bit.
But Muffles S look was quite enough
To put to silence that farmer gruff,
For in half minute and unaware
The farmer slept just standing there.
