Lower San Joaquin VAL
ley Tour

Intense interest is being manifested
by the wholesale and manufacturing
members of the Merchants association
in the associations wholesale trade ex-
tension excursion to II towns in the
lower San Joaquin valley October II.
More than so of the leading jobbing
firms In the city have booked reserva-
tions for the trip and these houses will
be represented by the heads of the

That the excursion will be composed

that have already booked reservations
for the trip
The association is making special ar
rangements to promote the comfort of
the members of the party and enable
them to accomplish as much as possible
in the five days allotted to the trip.
The president and secretary will make
a trip over the entire route of the ex-
cursion next week in order to make
definite arrangements in each of the
towns to be visited for the reception of
the party and the visits that will be
| made by the members on the merchants
in those towns
PLANS F'OH MAKING CALLS
1t is intended that every merchant
| in these towns shall receive friendly
call from all the members of the party
handling goods in which he deals.
Special badges, indicating the firm
! represented by each member of the
party, will De provided. Printed lists

SO that they may know upon whom

regarding trade conditions throughout

modations OF the train and that those
firms who delay booking their reserva-
| tions will be disappointed, as the limit
| for accommodations on the train will
| be 112 persons.

TECHNICALITYM MAY
SET CARKEEk FREE
Indicted Member of Mabray
Gang Not Yet Identified
as Fake Wrestler

John Cark ek,smember of the Mabray
gang of swindlers indicted in Nebraska
and Iowa a year ago. may escape trial
here on technicality. At the hearing
before United States Commissioners II.
NJ. Wright yesterday no witnesses were
placed on the stand who could iden-
tify Carkeek as the man who was con-
nected with the fake wrestling matches
in Nebraska
The case was continued until next
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, when
further witnesses may be put on by
the prosecution, though Benjamin Nc
Kinley, assistant United States district
attorney, stated that he merely wanted
to reserve the privilege as he believed
enough evidenc had been submitted.
On Tuesday Attorney W. H. Cook will
make an argument for the release of
his client.
c. H McVey, veteran baseball player
and sportsman, was the first witness
TO be placed on the<stand. He identi-
fed Carkeek and said he had seen him
IN wrestling matches in the early
eighties and with Tom Jenkins In 1905.
Thomas D. Carroll, now constable at
Fruitvale. but formerly a professional
athlete, gave substantially the same
testimony.
Should Carkeek be held to answer by
the commissioner, it will be necessary
TO have the matter tested again before
District Judge de Haven, and should
the warrant be granted for the taking
OF Carkeek back to Nebraska for trial,
it is probable that the matter will be
taken before the United States circuit
court on a petition for writ of habeas
corpus. If the same plan is followed
as in the cases of Frank Brown and
E. c. Moore, members of the Mabray
gang whom the federal authorities have
been trying to extradite nearly a year,
the Carkeek case will then be carried
up to the supreme court.
