HOTEL OWNER IS
ACCUSED OF ARSON

San Francisco, March 28.-Arrest
ed in Mission street hotel on telo-
graphed request from Probation Of
/ ficer H. A. Sessions of Fresno, Walter
E. Everton greeted the arresting de-
tectives with long story of arson and
the intentional burning down of the
hotel Ben Lomond on March 5.
He said that he burned the hotel
down on promise of reward OF
$4,000 made by E. A. Beeson, a real
estate man of Fresno, and the police
were so impressed with his story that
he is being held here until his story
can be investigated.
About the same time that Everton
was telling his story here, Ray John
son, a private insurance detective was
swearing out a warrant for Beesor's
arrest in connection with claims made
by Beeson and his business associate,
C. A. Cooper of Sanger.
Everton told the police that he was
working as porter in the hotel Hale
on Mission street last February when
Beeson came to him and asked him if
he wanted to earn $4,000.
"I told him yes" said Everton.
"Then Beeson told me that he and
Cooper owned the Ben Lomond hotel
and that they had it insured for $45,-
600. If l would undertake the job of
burning it down / was to get $3.50
when the building was in ashes and
the balance when the claim was paid
"Then Beeson gave me $25. The
next day Cooper came to see me and
gave me another $25, giving me final
Instructions. Then they sent me to
Ben Lomond to act as watchman in
the hotel, which was closed. On the
night of March l set fire to the place
and came to San Francisco the next
day.
"But Beeson has not paid me my
money. telephoned him at Fresno
yesterday and he said he would send
it up right away. Pm tired of this
treatment and Pm going to tell all
know"
Cooper admitted that he and Bee
son have been associated in business
together and that they bought the Ben
Lomond hotel together last December
from l.. B. Sowel of Visalia. Cooper
said that the building was valued at
$4,000 and that it was insured for
only $4,000 when they bought it and
SO they raised it to $27,500.
He denied all knowledge of Everton.
Beeson has not yet been arrested on
the charge sworn to by the insurance
detectives.

PLACES BAD BRAND
ON YOUNG PEOPLE

San Francisco, March 28.-An Oak
land manufacturer, James A. Van
degrift, branded California girls as
lazy" and native sons as notorious
ly so" in an address on business eff
ficiency.
"The California girls" said Van
degrift, "are high in mental and phys
ical characteristics, but-as employees
they are lazy. We try to employ the
native sons, but they, too, are lazy
notoriously so. There is no desire
among them to work to anything like
their capacity.
"Fathers make too much money in
California. Their daughters feel
they do not have to work. Our great
trouble is to weed out the girls who
want to work just long enough to buy
dress or hat. We try all sorts of
stunts to get them to make more
money but they would rather meet

looked last night.
Eve try to get our girls to make
at least $1.50 a day and we have a
rule that one which cannot attain this
is not wanted. She should make So,
or even $3.50 if she tried.

BELL SAVES DOBDS
FROM AKNOCKOUT
BOOntOn Has Jackie in Bad
Way at End of Four
Rounds.
GRADWELL TO MEET PAPP

Kid Boonton, of Orange, won in de-
cisive fashion from Jackie Dobbs, of
this city, in their bout last evening
at Troxler's Central Institute. Boon
ton established a clear lead in two
of the rounds, while the other two
sessions were good draws. After
taking three terrific uppereuts in the
third round, Dobbs was a very grog-
gy boy, and it looked as though
Boonton could have put him out in
the last session had he cared to do
so.
Boonton landed a right uppercut
after the bell had started the boys
on the way, but Dobbs seemed not
to mind the blow, and swung a left
to the Orange lads jaw. The local
boy, in trying to follow it up, made
several bad misses, Boonton again
using his uppercut with effect.
Dobbs then put over a few light left
jabs and right swing, thus evening
the honors The second round found
Dobbs rushing, with Boonton the bet
ter man at 1nfighting. Dopbs used
his left jab several times, following
it up with a right swing Boonton
sent both hands to the face. and
both men swung wildly for some
moments. The two boys then
clinched and Boonton sent over two
hard rights in the breakaway, thus
making the round even. 1t was in
the third round that the Orangeite
demonstrated his lead. After taking
three left jabs, Boonton tore in and
reached Dobbs's jaw with three right
uppercuts. Dobbs staggered undsr
the force of the blows, and Boonton
spent the remaining minutes of the
round in jabbing his opponent. Dobbs
went to his corner very tired
boxer. The last round saw Dopps
still weak. He swung wildly, and
Boonton put over a neat straight
left. DobDs managed to land weak
ly with both HANDS, and received a
hard right and left to the face.
Boonton then hit him at will: a
right uppercut made Dobbs groggy,
and a knockout was imminent Wnen
the bell ended the hostilities.
Freddie Seidel showed the way to
frankie Mahon in a semi-tinal bout
that was replete with hefty wallops.

stopped in the second round. Young

LEACH DESERVES
PLACE AT THE TOP
Veteran outfieIder Playing
Fine Game in Sixteenth
Year in Majors.

Not all the glory of the old-time
brigade belongs to Wagner, Lajoie,
Mathewson and Plank.
For Tommy Leach also belongs
and well up around the top. Tommy
started professional baseball just
eighteen years ago, with Petersburg,
Va. With the Chicago Nationals,
Leach is playing his sixteenth sea-
son in the big show. And just at
present Tommy is not only fielding
finely. but is outbatting both Wag-
ner and LaJoie-and about 200 others
in the main corral.
Leach deserves to be classed with
the immortal few-the l per cent
who after fifteen years service are
still first-class actors. In place of
waning, he has played better ball the
last two years than he has shown
since the early days of his stardom,
when he was part of one of the most
formidable machines of the game.

podger Fans want Callahan.

Brooklyn fans want to see Callahan
back with the team. Casey Stengel
has not played up to expectations this
season and the Dodger rooters recall
Callahan's good showing last season
with pleasure. Leo was popular be-
cause of his ability to deliver in the
local fans. Leo always hits the ball
in front of him-that is, he always
times his swings nicely and meets the
ball before it reaches the plate. For
this reason he generally pulls to right
or centre and only on extreme occa-
sions shoves the ball to left. His ex-
ecution at bat is extremely graceful
and the talk of the circuit.
