What I sought, first Of all. was cor

the Glamorganshire. sail for Hong

five minutes, the facts were mine.
Such a steamer had sailed for the
east on that date. Her agents were
Bartlett Brothers. Their offices were
in the Produce Exchange Building.
Another minute, and Bartlett Broth
ers were on the wire. No, the Glamor-
ganshire did not take the South Amer
lean route. Her course was through
the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal
She carried no passengers. She was
British. She was very slow. She had

Second Auto Polo Game
Full of Thrills

The auto polo game played at Pa
vilion rink last night was full OF
thrills. and 1t provided a great deal
more excitement than the contest wit
messed on the opening night.
The play was vastly improved because
a faster ball was used, and 1t al
lowed the teams to do more open work.
The Reds reversed the score on the
Blues. beating them by a count OF
8 to T.
The result was in doubt until the end.
Some remarkable driving of motor
cars was furnished the crowd, the like
of which has never been witnessed in
this city before.
Speedy Chapman had the crowd on
It's feet many times by his daring work.
He would race the car up the hall at
high rate of speed. and at times 1t
looked as II he would surely crash
with the car on the opposing side or
else run into the bleachers, but he
skfllfully avoided all objects.
Sometimes 1t was only matter OF
inches that he missed a collision, but
Chapman did not seem to mind as
long as he sailed along clearly.
Auto racing is child's play alorg-
side OF auto polo. The control which
the drivers hold over these machines is
unbelievable unless seen.
Chapman and Martin hooked up on
one side, last night, while Pelleton and
De Silva were on the opposing side.
The next game will be played to-
morrow night

Mrs. Scott will be supported by COM
pany Of professionals, and the stage
setting Is to be an unrivaled attempt

JOHN MITCHELL
EXHORTs STRIKERS
Tells Copper Miners They
Will Win by Standing
Firmly Together

CALUMET, Mich, Aug. 23.-John
Mitchell. second vice president of the
American Federation of Labor. in ad
dresses to the copper mine strikers at
Calumet and Houghton, today declared
that the federation is heartily in ac-
cord and sympathy with the Western
Federation OF Miners 'fn the effort IT is
making to better conditions of life and
labor for miners in this field
He praised the strikers. particularly
the non-Engiish speaking men. for
their unity and courage. and the
women and children of the strikers
for their cooperation.
Mr. Mitchell expressed the belief the
men would win IL they stood firmly
together. put faith in their leaders and
obeyed the law. He declared it was
the right of the men to organize, and
commenting on the refusal of the oper-
ators to arbitrate with the Western
Federation of Miners, said the COVER
nor should say to the companies 'arbi-
trate, or the state will not spend it's
money for your protection, or send the
militia to camp on your property"
Mr.. Mitchell said he placed a higher
value on human rights than property
rights. He believed both men and
strike leaders had pursued every hon
orable means to secure redress of
grievances.
The injunction sought by the West
ern Federation of Miners to restra in
Sheriff Cruise from employing assist
ants from outside Houghton county
was not granted by Circuit Judge
O'Brien today, the judge believing he
has no power to grant such an in
junction.

recently with his son, guest Of Solly
Smith. the first feather weight cham
pion ever turned out in California
Gardner has been running a boxing
club in Portland. Ore, but 1t thinking
of locating in Los Angeles. He has met
the best men in his class. including
Terry McGovern, when he was at his
best. He has had 537 fights, losing 15,
winning 49s and getting 23 draws. He
met all the tough and high class boys
in his class and the fact that he has
won the largest majority of them is
proof that he was there.
Gardner looks as good today as he
did 10 years ago. but Is somewhat
heavier: still Is willing to meet any OF
the present day fighters. just to show
what an old time boxer can do at the
age of 39 years. In Oscars days a
fighter was not considered at his best

has taken the best care of himself and

FRAUD CHARGES
Berkeley Capitalist From
Cell Says There's Some
thing Behind Affair and
He'll Expose It

BERKELEY. Aug. 2s.-Following his
arrest this morning on a charge Of en-
bezzlement and before being taken to
Salinas in the custody OF Sheriff Nesbitt
Of Monterey county. Alexis c. Craven,
president of the Standard Mortgage and
Guaranty company, made statement In
which he denied that he had ever en-
bezzled a cent from either Vice Presi-
dent w. L. Newlove, his accuser, or the
company.
There is absolutely no truth in the
charges" Craven said. "Of course, there
Is something behind this affair, but just
what that is don't care TO mention at
this time.
My arrest was so unexpected and
sudden that have not had time to fur
nish bonds. although / have dozen
friends who are anxious to vouch for
me-"
Craven was taken to Oakland by
Sheriff Nesbitt at o'clock. Before
departing for Salinas he called Judge
w. II. Waste on the telephone to In
form him of his predicament.
This trouble grew out of a business
deal" he said to Judge Waste, I'm
which my opponents are attempting to
misuse criminal processes to carry their
point. AS soon as / am in a position
to do SO. I shall explain everything.
Mrs. Craven, who accompanied her
husband to the city prison. was later
taken to her home in Indian Rock ave-
nue. by Patrolman Cosby of the Berke-
ley department.
Craven is said to possess property
valued at about 1900. in Berkeley
Heights, in the name of j. r. Pratt of
this city. This has been attached by

Especial Dispatch TO The CalD
SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 23.-One sight of
the green hills In the distance gave the
wild man. captured near Camp Taylor
yesterday inspiration for a dash for
liberty today. but he was caught be-
fore he had gone a great distance
When released the second time on the
courthouse lawn the man fell on his
hands and knees and started to pull
up the grass.
He admitted by a nod of his head
yesterday that he was aTurk. and to-
day the word name" in capital letters
was written in front of his eyes. When
given the paper and pencil he wrote
down Ami Bey.'
In an old wallet discovered on his
person was found stock certificate for
10 shares of the Rocky Point Tunnel
and Mining company of Aurora, Mono
county. The certificate was issued in
1863 and was transferred In 1855 by
Frank Hirth to Nelson Young. A d.
Robinson was president of the COM
pany and s. c. Halsey secretary, ac-
cording to the certificate. The capital
stock was 100000 in 800 shares.
According to DR.. J. H. Kuser. county
health officer, the man is sane, as far
as can be determined by a cursory
examination, but his wild life has af-
fected him somewhat. He grunts like
pig, instead of talking, but his hearing
seems normal.
The mans peculiar complexion Is due
to the nuts and fruit on which he has
subsisted, according to DR.. Wade ].
Stone. city health officer.
Curious persons crowded the court
house all day, and he was taken out
several times that pictures might be
taken of him.
