CHANGE TRADES
TWO PLAYERS FOR ONE

NEW YORK. May 2s.-Manager
Frank Chance last night consummated
his first trade since assuming charge
of the Yankees. The peerless leader
gave the Cleveland team of the
American league Infielder~ Stump and
Outfelder Lelivelt in exchange for
Peckinpaugh. The former
Yankees will leave for Cleveland to-
morrow, while Peckinpaugh has been
ordered to report to the local team to-
morrow: The erstwhile Nap is more
than likely to get into harness in
Tuesdays game against the Red Sox.

BAIL FOR
FREMONT
IS ASKED
Attorney for Defendant Contends
Bail Shouted Be Granted Italian
and Simpson Opposes
Decision Net Rendered

This morning at 9 o'clock in the dis
trict court. Judge Frank NJ Bailey
heard arguments Tor and against the
granting Of bail to John fremont de-
fendant m the murder case recently
heard IN the district court
F. e. Riddle represented the defend
ant and Oscar Simpson represented
the state. After the close OF the argu-
ments, Judge Bailey took the matter
under adyisement and viii probably
render a decision late this afternoon
Mr.. Riddle presented his motion
for bail and argued that bail should be
granted on the grounds that under the
statute a prisoner is allowed bail
after being tried with the case result
ing in a hung jury, and that in this
case the jury could not reach an agree
ment. hence the right Of the defendant
to bail.
The states attorney argued that the
statute further provided that when a
trial resulted in a hung jury and the
jury was hung, owing to the miscon-
duct OF the jury, the defendant was
then not entitled 10 bail
Six of the jurors who recently sat
in the fremont case were summoned
and swore that two of the jurors ad
mitted the guilt Of the defendant, but
would not convict because OF such a
heavy punishment 1t was stated this
morning that one Of the two men who
hung the jury said that he would be
willing to give the defendant as much
as twenty years, but would not agree
to life Imprisonment or death.
Alleging misconduct on the part O.

be denied.

fishes an ultimatum.

San Francisco, July lO That the,
forest fire on Mount Tamalpais is ex-
aggerated and that there has been ~
loss Of life was Che word brought
here by persons who visited the fire
early today.
A shift Of the wind checked the ad-
vance OF the fire and Mill Valley is no
longer threatened. Two thousand five
hundred people fought the flames.
Each morning since the blaze start
ed, it has seemed that danger has pass
ed, but each afternoon the trade wind
clustering in from the Pacific has
whipped the flames into life and driven
them across the canyons and trenches
laboriously out through the under
brush and into fresh timber on the far
side of areas burned bare by back
fires.
The fires are believed to have re-
suited from carelessness of campers.
Three thousand soldiers, sailors,
naval apprentices, forest rangers. mill.
tiamen and volunteer fire fighters are
fighting the flames and the women in
the threatened territory are working
as hard as the men.
Shops are closed and business is at
standstill throughout the threatened
section Col. George Bell. sixteenth
United States infantry, assisted by Dis
trict Chief Dubois Of the forestry ser
vice, is directing the right. Thus far
there has been no loss Of life and lit
tie damage to private property. al
though the possible damage is enor
nous and imminent.
Mount Tamalpais lies on the nortl
side Of San Francisco bay. Easy o
access by ferry lines and one of thl
beauty spots of California, its foothill
have become dotted with cities ant
