JUDGE
HOLDS MASHER
TRIAL OF PUTENNY is SET FOR
JANUARY 5
UMBRELLAS FIGURE PRoMl-
NENTLY IN COURT
Two Gases of "Mashing' Are Handled
by Judge, and One Is suffi-
ciently Strong to Hold
Man

Umbrellas figured prominently in two
cases that came to the attention OF the
nolice Yesterday. Both were cases of
"mashing," which the police are DONG
their utmost to discourage.
Mrs. Eta Shaw of AIS Solano street
was on her way home December Sl'
and while near the Buena Vista street
bridge a man stepped from behind a
billboard and grasped her by the arm:
Mrs. Shaw struck him on the head ana
he fell backward. He regained his bal
once. ran after her and again seized
her. This time she knocked him down
with the umbrella and ran away, leaV-
ing him in the mud. Later Sergt. Dan
Long arrested G.. A. Putenny and was
taking him into the police station when
Mrs. Shaw, who was about to make a
report of the matter, saw the man and
identified him as the person who had
molested her.
Putenny denied his guilt and was
taken into the office of the captain IN
charge. While he was seated there
Mrs. Shaw called the attention OF the
officers to the fact that there was
long. light hair on the dark coat of
the prisoner and declared that 1t came
from her head. A comparison followed,
with the result that Putenny was locked
IN on a charge of battery. He was ar
raigned in police court yesterday ana
his trial was set for January D.
Umbrella Figures Again
The second case wherein an umbrella
resulted in trouble was that f. E.
Buser. a dapper young man, who was
arrested on complaint of Mrs Frances
Van Velsir of 1898 Royal street and
locked I'D on a charge of disturbing the
peace.
According to the story of Mrs. Van
Velsir to the deputy district attorneys.
she was walking along Broadway about
$50 o'clock at night when someone
touched her on the shoulder with an
umbrella. She turned and saw Buser.
81 beg your pardon" Buser is said TO
have remarked. 'I thought you were a
girl | knew back east"
Mrs. Van Velsir replied that mistakes
frequently happen and passed on.
you know the resemblance is re-
markable," continued Buser, who fol-
lowed her, "and 1 cannot but comment
on it. You know"
"That is all right" replied the woman.
Further talk is unnecessary"
But you know there are few persons
in the world who really look alike, =
persisted the young man. "And would
like"
"This conversation need not be pro-
longed.o was the reply. you have
apologized and that is final. Please do
not molest me-"
Buser followed her into department
store and insisted on paying so cents
on a $150 pair of stockings which Mrs.
Van Velsir purchased. The woman did
not want to create a scene, and hurried
out. Buser followed her, and after
further annoyance she finally appealed
to Patrolman Kennedy, who placed the
young man under arrest.
Yesterday Buser was tried in Police
Judge Roses court on a charge of dis.
turbing the peace, and because of no
corroborative testimony the "masher"
was discharged.

Thirty-SiX New Governors This Fall

Between this time and the Tuesday af-
ter the first Monday in November Sc gov
ernors are to be elected, and many of
the contests are interesting to all the
states. Ohio and New York will both
present natural possibilities and even
probabilities
The election in Vermont on September
and in Maine on September Z are each
receiving considerable consideration. An
undercurrent of progressive republican
ism is felt In both states No one ex-
poets Vermont to go democratic, but its
customary republican majority may be
reduced. The democrats of Maine are
hopeful Governor Fernald is seeking a
second term, and Mayor Plaisted of Au-
gusta. is the democratic candidate. The
elimination of the Hales, father and son,
has perhaps aided the republican cause,
but the democrats are conducting an ag-
gressive campaign.
In the long list of state elections are
found many contests of more than pass
ing interest. New Jersey is to hold
joint primary for the selection of eandi-
didates for United States senator. sena-
tor Keen, the gumshoer of the pluto
Gratis, in the senate has two opponents
in his party, one of them being ex-Gov-
ernor Stokes. Money will be freely
used in this primary. and Keen will
it. He is himself a multi-millionaire.
The fall of Keen would presage the fall
of plutocratism in the senate.
In Pennsylvania three tickets are be-
fore the people. The third ticket car
ries the name of ex-Treasurer Berry for
governor, and it is a distinct protest
against the Penrose machine, which has
long ruled the keystone state. At pres
emf it is difficult to say what the out
come will be.
In all of the contested northern states
republicans are classed as progressives
or regulars, and the two schools do not
closely affiliate. The republican party
is, in other words, rent into factions, and
this leads nearly all observers to predict
in November an overwhelming demo-
cratic victory.

Rank Of 01r Greater Cities

The census figures for the larger cities
OF the country are still incomplete. but
1t is already plain that the first Is cities
of the land will be in this order: New
York. Chicago. Philadelphia, St Louis,
Boston, Beltmore Pittsburg. Cleveland,
Detroit, Buffalo, San Francisco, Milwau-
kee. Cincinnati. New Orleans, Newark
and Washington. The calender has $751;
os9 inhabitants. The figures made public
were very disappointing to Cincinnati,
and scarcely less so to Pittsburg, St.
Louis Buffalo and Washington. while
Detroit in the big league of IS cities
rejoices over its gain of So per cent in
10 years.
AS a general statement it may be said
that the increase in the larger cities of
the country has been less than 20 per cent.
while the increase in the lesser cities has
been larger The cities that have less
than $4,000 inhabitants have increased in
number and have prospered exceedingly.
The populations of TWO states and 50
cities have been reported, and the general
conclusion to be gathered from the figures
already before us is. the increase in
both town and country has been large,
and the total is expected to go to 90,o00W0
not including the provinces that the war
with Spain added to the country regard
less of its constitution.

AMAZON TOMBS FOUND
Camilla, Queen of the VoIscians, Was
Not a Myth.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Camilla, the Amazon queen of the Vols
clans, has been purged of the suspicion
that she was merely poetic Pigment OF
Virgil's imagination by the discovery al
Belmore. by Prof. Dali 'Osso, of the
sepulchers of the two women warriors.
The discovery was reported briefly by
telegraph. but now further details are
available of the women who fought and
died eight centuries before the time OF
Christ.
The district which Is being excavated
IL rich in relics of old Etruria, and the
existence of Amazons there is proved by
the fact that the two women whose re-
mains have been discovered were buried
in their panoply of war beneath their
chariots in exactly the same way as the
fighting men whose skeletons have been
unearthed.
The first Amazon tomb which the pro-
fessor opened was Is feet long, feet
wide, and 10 feet deep. The two-horsed
chariot which shrouded the skeleton was
ornamented with bronze and iron the
yoke was metaled and the bronze bits
of the horses We're still intact.
The crouching skeleton had been COW
cred with a rich mantle and various OBJ
jects, but the damp and the earth had
welded them into a solid mass which II
was hard to disentangle.
-Four pairs of amber earrings thread
ed on wire lay near the head; round the
neck were various collars and chains OF
amber, bronze, and ivory, and a quantity
of acorn shaped drops were found which
pi obably formed a diacem around the
forehead and hung in tassels over the
ears.
The tomb also contains ornamental OBJ
jects and a quantity of arms. lance
heads. daggers and a javelin. while
some of the numerous vases of byonze
and terra Gotta would suggest a date
as early as the eighth century B. C. for
the tomb.

GOV. Sanders Refuses Senatorial HOlorS

Governor Sanders was elected by the
legislature to the unexpired term of the
late Samuel D. McEnery. but he has
refused TO qualify, and now he rejects
the profered honor altogether He will
proceed to fill the vacancy by an ap-
pointment.
He bases his refusal to accept the
senatorial seat upon a desire to serve
the interests of the Panama expo
sition to be held in New orleans in
1915, but the Times Democrat of that
city more than intimates that he is
playing politics rather than the Pan
anna exposition. He could not by ac-
cepting the senatorship see his way
clear to preserve the power of his fac
ton in the party, and he particular
ly desires to become the choice of his
party for senator in a primary held
under the laws of the state. He there
fore announces that he will be can
didate for the United States Senate in
the democratic primaries to be held
in 1912
No one prefers the snap decision of
legislature to a verdict of the PEG
pie expressed in a primary and Gov
ernor Sanders has no doubt taken a
wise step when he referred to the peo-
pie the filing of the seat once held
by Samuel D. McEnery.
