FIVE FAVORITES DISAPPOINT AN ARMY OF BACKERS
HORATIUS A NOSE BEFORE FRECKMAN
Close Finish in Closing Event at
the Oakland Track.
Hainault of All the Favorites, Is
the Only One to Land.
Horatius. ■ which was pronounced
blind and a r.seless piece of racing
hardware at Kansas City last fall,
snapped the last race on the card at
Oakland yesterday in a nose finish
with the favorite, Freckman. Mieh
aeis, who rode Judge so poorly on Mon
day, piloted Horatius, and did 'it
.veil. "Big Bill" Knapp took care of
Freckman, and no fault could be
Cannd with his work. Horatius was
an unknown quantity, it being his
first appearance this season, and 5 and
t; to 1 could be had in the market place
about him.
Tne odds about Freckman were back
ed down to 9 to 10, while Major Mansir
and Veterans had quite a following as
Veil. Horatius had all kinds of speed,
racing out In front with the first
choice. Knapp could not shake off
the blind horse, and Horatius received
a nose verdict. Major Mansir came
with a rush at the close, and was
beater, less than a length.
The track was slow, and the rheu
matics and cripples ran to their best
notch. Hainault was the only winning
public choice.
FAVORITE RUNS THIRD.
There were eleven starters in the
opening sprint, with old Frank Pearce
ruling a slight favorite over Haven
Run, Kaiabfl and Batidor. He finished
third. Willie Harris' Haven Run start
ed off with a flashy turn of speed, but
when c hallenged in the stretch by Box
•Bolder with Bell up, weakened and lost
by a neck. Aibonita, a well backed
one, tired early in the game.
Had the track been made to order
it could not have suited Barrack bet
ter. The aged campaigner was as
good as 5 to 1 in the betting on the
mile and fifty yeard selling affair, for
which Rowena had a pronounced call
in the ring. During the early part of
the running, the favorite had it all her
own way. The last eighth though
caught her backing up perceptibly and
Barrack, closing very strong under the
vigorous handling of Bullman, won
easily by a neck. Glenarvon, a 25 to
1 shot, took the show from Allopath
At the weights Hainault looked a
good thing for the seven furlong run,
and the price about the gelding speed
ily fell from 13 to 10 to evens. Nicely
ridden by Travers, he registered an
easy first, after M. A. Powell and Dora
I had set the early pace. Sam Green
field came from behind with The Gad
fly, a 20 to 1 shot, downing Powell for
the place.
RED CROSS NURSE FALLS.
Travers on the favorite, Red Cross
Nurse, for the mile selling fixture met
with an accident at the first turn, which
practically ruined the mare's chances.
In some sort of a jostling match Nurse
got caught in a jam and went to her
knees. She could not • recover the
ground thus lost. North West, played
down from 3Vfc to 1 to 11 to 5 and excel
lently ridden by Sam Greenfield, out
stayed Follow Me through the stretch,
earning a neck decision. Show honors
fell to Meistersinger, with Jakie Jones
tip.
If Sam Greenfield rode a clever race
on North West, his handling of Albe
marle, favorite for the selling sprint
following, did not add to his record.
He took the gelding over the overland
rc,ute. made weak play for a position
and finished among the also rana.
Cousin Carrie, with Travers in the
saddle, made all the running, and
standing a drive gamely defeated
Bronze Wing, the mount of Clem Jen
kins, a head. Helgesen was third with
Hipponax, a 12 to 1 shot. Mocorito ran
a mild race.
THICK NOTES.
Travers carried off the saddle hon
ors by piloting two winners.
Ruilmrtn is regaining his old time
form and now rides a winner or two
almost every day. As a two-year-old
pilot he is hard to equal.
Clem Jenkins is another of the old
guard who is doing excellent work
in the paddle. Clem has'been seen

FORESTS MUST
BE PROTECTED
Delegates to Convention in
the Capital of the Nation
Unanimous on the Subject
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.—More than
.100 delegates were present to-day when
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, presi
dent of the American Forestry Con
gress, the first of its kind held in this
country, called that body to order. The
meeting is under the auspices of the
American Forestry Association and
will be continued throughout the week.
Secretary Wilson welcomed the dele
gates ancr delivered an address, saying,
in part:
Without forestry the permanent prosperity
of the industries you represent is Impossible
because a i-ermanent supply of wood and
water can only come from the wise use of the
forest and in no way, and that supply
you must have.
I am glad to see the irrigation Interests so
strongly represented here because forestry and
irrigation go hand in hand in the agricultural
development of the West. The West must have
water, and that from a sure and permanent
supply. Unless the forests at the headwaters
of the streams used in irrigation are pro
tected, that is Impossible and Irrigation will
fall. Unless we practice forestry in the moun.
tain forests in the West the expenditure under
the national irrigation law will be fruitless
and the wise policy of thf Government in the
agricultural deveiopmefffof the arid regions
will fail.
Guy Elliott Mitchell, secretary of
the National Irrigation Association,
also addressed the congress.* He urged
th > enactment of a bill pending in
Congress, recommended by the Presi
dent, consolidating the various fores
try branches into one bureau. He also
called attention to the necessity for
the repeal of the timber and stone
act and the substitution of the bill,
which has passed the Senate, providing
for the sale of stumpage, the title to
public timber lands to remain in the
Government, thus insuring their nat
ural reforestation.
The annual report of the board of
directors of the American Forestry
Association on the progress of fores
try in the United States was read by
Edward T. Powers, secretary of the
association.
Representative Lacey of lowa, chair
man of the House Committee on Pub
lic Lands, in an address, said the ques
tion under discussion was one with
which the committee had long been
struggling. He declared that the
movement for the protection of the
forests had been late, but not too late
for the Government to take hold.
Andrew White, commissioner of
Crown Lands of Canada, made a few
remarks. In her forests Canada, he
said, had a valued asset and she was
taking care of it and not giving it
away. He predicted much good as a
result of the present congress.
W. S. Harvey, president of the board
of trustees of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum, urged co-operation of
all bodies represented in the congress
toward securing the repeal of the tim
ber and stone act.
• Former Senator Charles Manderson,
general solicitor of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy Railroad, said the
future of this republic in every depart
ment of industry rests upon the preser
vation and the increase of its timber.
E. S. Gosney, president of the Arizo
na Wool Growers' Association, and
Representative Reeder of Kansas, also
made brief speeches.
STEERS WRECK GROCERY
STORE IN CINCINNATI
Frightened Animals Rush Into the
Place and Then Kick It
to Pieces.
CINCINNATI, Jan. B.—A herd of run
away steers created a panic at the City
Hall this afternoon. The cattle belonged
to George and Henry Miller of Oneonta,
Ky., and had become frightened while
being driven up Plum street. Near
Eighth street they charged a crowd of
boys, chasing them through the yard
of St. Peter's Cathedral. After clearing
the yard the steers dashed through the
court and into a grocery The place was
literally kicked to pieces by the enraged
beasts before they were chased out
and finally captured by the owners,
half a dozen policemen and several vol
unteers of the neighborhood.

BLOCKS PLANS
OF RIVAL ROAD
California Northwestern Pre
vents Laying of Track
by Santa Kosa Electric
] SANTA ROSA, Jan. 3.—Considerable
excitement was caused here to-day by
the attempt of the electric railroad
people to lay a track across a spur
of the California Northwestern Road's
track near the brewery. The work of
cutting the steam road's rails had be
gun when a special engine to which
a string of box cars was attached
came on the scene and for some time
switched back and forth across the
point where the men had been working
effectually stopping further progress.
A crowd of citizens had collected, also
a big gang of section hands, but there
was no violence. For some time the
California Northwestern has evidently
been expecting some such move as
was made to-day. Watchmen have
been stationed at the disputed point
day and night and an engine with
steam up kept in the yards. To-night
the track for several hundred yards is
being patrolled by railroad employes
in anticipation of a repetition of the
attempt to lay the crossing.

ord for Ascot track.
James' strikingly handsome chestnut
gelding, Descuento, scored his third
successive victory in as many starts,
winning in easy fashion from a good
field of sprinters. Heather Honey was
the medium of a big plunge in the
fifth race and won all the way.

WHY McGINNES
WAS SURPRISED
Earthquake Jars the Bolt
to His Front Door and
the Lock Will Not Work
Customs Inspector Robert T. Mc-
Ginnes has acquired a new respect for
the baby earthquakes that of late have
been giving San Francisco a course of
the vibration treatment. With his wife
he was sitting in the Grand Opera
house Monday night when the 10:30
o'clock undulations were felt.
"Feel the New Year resolutions
breaking," remarked McGinnes, as At
las stumbled and his burden shook.
"Wonder who fell off the water wagon
that time?" This was all the attention
the revenue officer paid to the tem
blor at the time and the next minute
he-was following the fortunes of "The
Darling of the Gods."
"These earthquakes don't amount to
anything," remarked McGinnes to his
wife an hour or so later as he inserted
his latch key in the door of the Mc-
Ginnes home, 1283 Waller street.
"Scientists tell us—what the dickens is
the matter with this door?"
The latch key turned in the lock but
all effort to push open the door was
met with a stout resistance.
"Burglars," suggested Mrs. McGin
nes.
, With revolver in hand McGinnes re
connoitered the premises. No sound
could be heard inside and he found
nothing to indicate any unlawful in
vasion of the premises. So securely
in fact was every door and window
fastened that it was an hour before
McGinnes succeeded in breaking into
his house.
He hastened to the front door to
admit his wife. Again the door refused
to swing. He turned on the light.
"Well, I'll be "
It was all on McGinnes. The earth
quake, which he had joshed so light
ly had the last laugh. The shaking had
shot the night bolt securely barring the
door on the Inside, and long after At
las had regained his equilibrium Mc-
Ginnes was shivering on his own door
step wondering why his latch key
would not work.
TO MOVE FOR NEW TRIAL
OF DOLBEER WILL CASE
Schander's Attorneys File Notice of
Motion and Will Submit
Statement.
Notice of intention to move for a
new trial of the Bertha M. Dolbeer
will contest was filed in the Probate
Court yesterday by Hiram W. and Al
bert M. Johnson, attorneys for
Adolph Schander, the contestant,
whose case recently failed before a
jury in Judge Coffey's department.
The attorneys say that the motion will
be based upon a statement of the case
to be hereafter prepared, and six
statutory grounds for new trial are
set forth. v
Schander also filed a notice of mo
tion to tax costs in the case, and
objected to many of the items in the
proponents' bill. They say that the
charges of Commissioner R. P. Lee of
New York, who took nearly all of
the Eastern depositions, were exces
sive, and some of the depositions
should not be paid for because they
were not used. Fees for a number of
witnesses who were not called to tes
tify afe objected to, and exceptions are
taken to the charge of $76 for the
deposition of Mjss Ethel Dean, who
testified in court and whose deposition
was not used. A like objection is
made to the charge for F. A. Green
wood's deposition, as he was in town
and could have attended the trial.
Some of the witnesses, who were in
terested in the case as legatees, should
not be paid fees, it is contended.

BIG TURF WAR
NOW BREWING
Stewards of Western Jockey
•Club Turn Down Corrigan
and All His Associates
DATES UNSATISFACTORY
Master of Hawthorne Says
Officials Split $18,000
When the Season Closed
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—War is the slogan
of Edward Gorrigan and his associates, I
who were turned down coldly by the |
stewards of the Western Jockey Club j
to-day at their monthly meeting.
True to policy of a well-developed \
and thriving turf trust, the stewards,
who recently, according to Mr. Corri- j
gan, divided something like $18,000 j
among them as their share of spoils
for the year Just ended in face of de
nunciation of both public and press,
refused point blank to reconsider the
racing dates which were recently as
signed Hot Springs Jockey Club. They
also refused to allot the new track at
New Orleans a period in which to con
duct a meeting and in answer to the
appeal of the Louisville Jockey Club |
for an extension of the spring dates
they added Jive days to the fall dates,
which was not in any way satisfactory
to the petitioners.
Dissatisfied track owners at present
in Chicago refused to-night to outline
any future policy further than to say
that some action would be taken at the
meeting to be held here to-morrow.
Nevertheless It is believed that war
will result.
RIVETER SAYS HIS WIFE
KNOCKED HIM SENSELESS
Files Cross-Complaint to Her Divorce
Suit, Claiming She At
tacked Him.
Henry Lehman, a riveter at the
Union Iron Works, whose wife Anna
recently sued him for divorce on the
ground of cruelty, yesterday filed an
answer denying her charges, and a
cross-complaint in which he accuses
her of many unwifely acts, chief of
which is her knocking him into in
sensibility with a coal box. He says,
too, that she is a spiritualist and
spends the money he gives her for
seances.
Grant Hammond, an inventor, who
is in receipt of large sums of money
and is the owner of corporation
stocks, has neglected his family, ac
cording to the complaint for divorce
filed yesterday by his wife, Laura M.
Hammond. They were married in
1899 and have two children.
Other suits for separation were be
gun by Arleen G. Wilkinson against H.
A. Wilkinson, neglect; Clara B. Flem
ing against Walter S. Fleming, deser
tion; Katie Sprague against Samuel C.
Sprague, neglect, intemperance and
cruelty. Walter M. Cushing asks the
court to annul his union with Evelyn
M. Cushing, which took place in Oc
tober, 1901. He declares that the
marriage was illegal because in May
of that year his wife obtained a
divorce from A. G. Morgan. The pre
scribed year for single blessedness had
not elapsed when she took another
mate.
Makes a Murderous Attack.
Theophilus C. Bustamente was ar
rested early yesterday morning by
Detective Matheson and booked at
thelCity Prison on a charge of as
sault to commit murder on the night
of December 16. He attacked Santos
Sobrano with a knife, cutting him
several times. The attack was the
outcome of a general fight between
Porto Rlcans and Mexicans living in
Hinckley alley about two months pre
vious.

GANS WILL BOX
JIMMY GARDNER
Alex. Greggains Turns Down
Marvin Hart and Johnson.
He Signs Lightweights
REACH TERMS QUICKLY
Rival Fighters Leave for
This City To-Day to Com
mence Work of Training
The members of the sporting frater
nity who were figuring on seeing big
Jack Johnson and Marvin Hart make
passes at each other In the ring on the
night of January 27 will be forced to
aDpease their appetites with a light
weight go instead. Last night Alex
Greggains, manager and matchmaker
of the San Francisco Club, decided to
cut loose from the heavy-weights and
match Jimmy Gardner and Joe Gans
instead.
Although the change came rather
suddenly, it will not be much of a sur
prise to those who know. As soon as
the big fellows had finished signing ar
ticles the knockers began to swing
their hammers with much force, and it
did not take them long to tell Mr.
Greggains that he had framed up a
"bum show" for his January date.
Greggains at once set to work to see
whether he could not secure two good
men in place of Johnson and Hart. Ha
had Gans and Gardner under consider
ation for a long time, and after com
municating with them both and learn
ing that they were willing to get to
gether he decided to match them.
The lightweights will meet at "Wood
ward's Pavilion on the night of Jan
uary 27 at 133 pounds at 6 o'clock. The
division of the purse will be decided
upon later. The referee question wnl
also come up when the men arrive in
this city and formally sign the articles
of agreement.
Gans will start from Baltimore to
night and on his arrival here will go
direct to Billy Shannon's villa at San
Rafael, there to train for the encoun
ter. Shannon received a telegram from
Gans last night asking him to have
the gym ready.
Gardner is in Denver and he, too,
will start for this city to-night. He
has never appeared before a San
Francisco crowd, though he was
matched to fight Gans last September.
A short time before the date of the
fight Gardner made a poor showing
against Martin Canole and for that
reason the match was declared off.
It is more than likely that the winner
of the Gans-Gardner mix-up will be pit-
ted against Jimmy Britt. Jimmy will
be about ready for another "go" next
month and either of the two men
would make a good opponent for him,
provided their bout goes through with
out any hitch or shady transaction.
