A Plan on Foot to Build a
Splendid Athletic Park at
Elmhurst.
STONE IS BACK OF IT.
Mrs. Boogar Claims That Her Hus
band Was Mesmerized by At
torney Benson.
. - s ome unexpected hitch in negoti
vrhich are now pending, occurs, the
athletes of this section of the State will
soon be furnished with as fine an exhibi
tion and training ground as any in the
not in the country.
A I . Stone, secretary of the Oakland,
mdro and Haywards Electric Rail
road Company, is the instigator of the
scheme, and has been in consultation with
a number of gentlemen prominent in ath
letic circles who look with much favor on
the plan.
Under certain conditions," said Mr.
Stone yesterday, "we will construct a com
plete and handsome athletic park, which
will be second to none on the Pacific Coast
at least.
"The proposition is this: If the Reliance
and Acme clubs of Oakland and
the Bay City Wheelmen and Olym
pic club of San Francisco will
agree to utilize the grounds for their meets
for the next live years we will construct a
tr.^.ck, buildings and other accessories at a
cost of $20,000 to $25,000. The clubs will
not be asked to put up a cent, and the
accommodations we will give them will be
first class. I own a tract of land at Elm
hirst, on the line of the Oakland, San
Leandro and Haywards road, which is ex
actly suitable for the purpose, being near
the road and well situated. We propose to
put iv a bicycle track of cement or other
good material, with good houses for the
eyelets while in training or in attendance
at meets.
"Shower-baths and other accessories will
be provided on the latest plans. Inside
the bicycle track will be grounds for foot
ball, baseball and other games, and a
cinder track for the runners.
"A grand stand and bleachers capable of
seating any crowd which may attend will
also be erected. Powerful electric lights
capable of making the grounds as light as
day will be placed at short intervals along
the bicycle track and race meets can be
held at night as well as during the daylight
hours.
"Of course it is yet a question whether
the proper arrangements can be made with
the dubs, but thus far the plans seem feasi
ble. I have spoken to Mr. Fitzgerald,
:ent of the Reliance Club, and Mr.
Niece, who holds the same office in the
Acme Club, and both expressed themselves
as being very much in favor of such a pro
ject. Mr. Fitzgerald told me that his club
had been considering the matter of pro
curing suitable athletic grounds, but if this
scheme should come to a head it would
give up the other ideas."
A meeting of representatives of the four
large clubs that are expected to accept the
proposition will probably be held to-night,
when a definite understanding will be
reached. In case all agree to the condi
tions asked by Mr. Stone work on the
track and buildings will be begun at once
and the building pushed as fast as possible.
Trial of Michael Collins.
The trial of Michael Collins, charged
with the murder of Philip .Boogar, was re
ij-esterday. The day was up taken by
the J'biricu. Attorney in cross-examining
B •Mj;ar.
She told of her visit to Portland in pur
cuit of her husband. She said that one
moruinpr when Mr. Boogar got up he com
manded his wife to remain in bed until he
came back to take her to breakfast, but he
never returned. At the time Boogar was
under surveillance, and she thought that
he, with tiis attorney, bad gone to Port
land and would go further East.
Vpon investigation Mrs. Boogar found
her Burmises to be true, and so she imme
diately departed for Portland. Upon ar
riving there she found her husband was in
fralem.
At that place she found both Benson and
her husband. She said that her husband
was beinj? treated like a servant by Benson.
The witness was asked by "Attorney
Snook if she thought Benson was exercis
ing a hypnotic influence upon Mr. Boogar.
• I have testified that I believe that Ben
bon did exercise a hypnotic influence upon
Mr. Booear. I believe that Boogar would
do wnat~he wanted him to do, even to try
ing to poison me." she answered.
Mr-. Boogar further testified that she
feared Benson would harm her Husband,
-he followed him up to Portland to
hold out the olive branch of reconciliation.
Her husband, through hia attorney, had
tried to settle with her from a financial
point of view.
.Mr*. Boogar showed some shrewdness at
i iie time of~her visit to San Francisco on
November 10, 1893. To prove that she was
there, she wrote her name on the wall of
the room in which she stayed.
The trial will be resumed to-day.
Troubles of Aged Teachers.
The new regulation adopted by the
Board of Education at its last meeting re
tiring all teachers over 60 years of age is
believed to be illegal by those whom it
affects. The iawa governing the board say
that when a new rule is introduced it must
be laid over one meeting before action is
taken. The rule regarding the age of
teachers was not so acted upon.
The rule of the board governing amend
ments to the rules reads as follows:
The rules or regulations may be amended at
any regular meeting of the board by an
affirmative vote of seven members, notice of
euch proposed amendment having been given
in writing at a previous reerular meeting.

SENTENCED FOE PEBJUEY.
Gotlieb Gruber Must Serve the Govern-
JiM-nt Two Years at Folsoiu.
In the United States District Court Got
lieb Gruber, who for three years has been
personating Edward Hitzinger and draw
ing the monthly pension of $6 to which
Hitzinger was entitled, pleaded cuilty to
the charge of perjury yesterday, and was
sentenced by Judge Morrow to pay a fine
of $500 and to two years' imprisonment
with hard labor at Folsom.
Gruber's attorney pleaded the fact that
the prisoner had been several times in
carcerated in insane asylums in mitigation
of his crime, and this was probably taken
into consideration, as the maximum pen
alty for the offense to which the defendant
pleaded guilty is a line of $5000 and rive
years' imprisonment. There are two other
counts against the prisoner, but these were
dismissed on the motion of Assistant
United States District Attorney Bert
Bchlesinger. __

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1895.
TRUCK FENDER TESTED
Its Advantages Over the One
Attached to a Coach Ex
plained.
IT CAN BE LET DOWN LOWER.
The Test Was Made on Twenty
ninth Street Yesterday
Forenoon.
Another streetcar fender test was made
by the Market-street Railway Company
and several members of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday. This time the
truck fender first proposed was used and
it was demonstrated that it could be set
closer to the rails than any fender at
tached to the front of a car.
Superintendent Vining, Supervisor
Benjamin, chairman of the Committee on
Health and Police, and Supervisors
Morgenstern, Hughes, Wagner, Dimond
and Scully went out to the Twenty-ninth
street carhouse at 11 A. m. A series of
tests were made with dummies, Mr. Yin-
MR. VINLNG'S IDEA OF AN UP-TO-DATE CAR-FENDER,
[From a photograph.]
ing explaining the points of advantage in
favor of a fender attached to a truck as
against one attached to the front of a car.
His particular reason in favor of the
truck-fender was that the truck oscillates
much less than the car when the car is
running, and, therefore, enables a fender
to be let down quite close to the rails,
whereas a fender fixed to the front of a
coach would touch the street pavement,
even when it is some height above the
rails. Of necessity a wide space would
have to be left between the fender and the
rails, and this would render it ineffective.
The fender is of the same design and ma
terial in both cases, being of wire netting,
with steel-spring attachments and india
rubber frame. A partial test was made
last Saturday before four Supervisors, in
cluding Mr. King.
There have been some improvements
added since the original test was made —
namely, a trigger which will let the fender
down automatically whenever any one is
run against, and a foot lever, by which the
motorman can operate it independently at
will.
The Supervisors and Mr. Vining subse
quently went to Thirtieth and Guerrero
streets, and a test was made of the fender
being experimented with on the Sau Ma
teo line. It is similar to that of the Mar
ket-street Company, except that the motor
man operates it with an elastic cord.
SAINT PATRICK'S SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises at St. Vincent's Hall
Yesterday— A Varied Pro
gramme.
The teachers of Saint Patrick's school
had reason to be gratified with the results
of their year's work as shown by the various
exercises of their charges yesterday. The
exercises were held at St. Vincent's Hali,
which was crowded with interested specta
tors.
The gem of the programme was a mili
tary drill in which sixteen boys were put
through their soldier-like paces by their
youthful captain, E. Barry. Indian club
swinging was one of the features. A dia
logue and series of national airs gave prom
inence to patriotism and a concert recita
tion of the "Charge Of the Light Brigade"
inspired reverence for the brave. The first
grade children and those of the second
grade each gave a recitation and song.
There were quotations and a song by
forty-five boys, several choruses, a comic
dialogue by W. Nolan and L. Cass and a
more serious one by R. Hausman, P. Cor
coran and J. Regan, and recitations by M.
Sullivan, T. Trodden, R. Furlong and J.
Flannigan. The opening address was made
by E. Berry and the closing one by C. Sur
ratt. Miss Georgie Allen presided at the
piano.

FABEWELL TO A. G. HAWES.
The Bohemian Club Banquets a De
parting; .Member.
Over a hundred members of the Bohe
mian Club gave a dinner last evening to
Colonel A. G. Hawes, who departs this
week to make his permanent residence in
London as the manager of the ISew York
Life Insurance Company in that me
tropolis.
The tables were beautifully decorated
with flowers, and Horace Platt, the presi
dent of the club, had the guest of the
evening on his right. He proposed the
health of the departing ex-president, and
referred to his services to the club from the
early days of its origin. Colonel Hawes
responded. There were some songs of ap
j propriate character and Dan O'Connell
j read a poem, from which the following is
an extract:
The gleaming lights of .London, the pomp and the
parade,
The grand, historic monuments that centuries have
made,
O'ershadow in their glory this village of the west ;
But trust me, here are warm hearts, the hearts that
love you best.
J. P. Redding then presented to Colonel
Hawes a massive "loving cup" from the
club, and many kind speeches were made,
'many songs sung and many expressions of
regard for the veteran Bohemian warmly
expressed before the termination of the
banquet. _

DEATH OF SAMUEL DEAL
He Was a Veteran of the Mex
ican War and a
Pioneer.
Wounded Fifty Years Ago— The
Funeral Takes Place To
morrow Morning:.
Thousands of his friends and acquaint
ances throughoxit the Pacific States were
grieved to learn of the death of Samuel
Ueal, which occurred after a lingering and
very painful illness Tuesday night at his
family home on Mission street.
From a sketch of his life written by
Henry B. Livingston, historiographer of
the Society of California Pioneers, the sub
joined excerpts are taken:
Re was born at Shippensburg, Pa., March 31,
1822, and at an early age pursued the avoca
tion of harness-making. As early as 1546 ho
enlisted in his country's service as private in
Company D, Second Regiment Pennsylvania
Volunteers.
The lieutenant-colonel of the regiment was
no less a personage than John W. Geary, sub
sequently alcalde of Yerba Buena, first Mayor
of Han Francisco, and afterwards Governor of
Pennsylvania. In May the young soldier went
to New Orleans and from there journeyed to
Vera Cruz and the memorable battlefield of
Cerro Gordo, arriving the night after that bril
•liant but bloody engagement.
In September, 1847, at Puebla, young Deal
was attached to Steptoe's battery, which he ac
companied to the valley of Mexico. On the
day of the capture of the city of the Montezu
mas he did gallant service in Company H of
the Third Regiment of Artillery (regulars). He
was wounded in the aide, but keeping a stiff
upper lip he never flinched or faltered. He
entered tne City of Mexico with his battery of
four guns and eighty horses and encamped on
the plaza. Shortly thereafter he transported
the sick and wounded of his Pennsylvania
comrades to the army hospital at Jalapa.
After the war was over Deal went to St. Jo
seph in Missouri, but news of the gold dis
covery having reached there he at once turned
his face Pacific wards, reaching Butter's Fort
August 31, 1849. He mined profitably on the
south fork of the Yuba, and also engaged in
teaming. He erected tne Union Hotel on X
street in Sacramento, of which he also became
the proprietor.
Au eventful era in his life history soon
dawned. He was elected lieutenant of the
police force of Sacramento. How efficiently
and satisfactorily he performed the arduous
duties devolving upon him during the ensuing
ten years the writer of this sketch can bear
truthful testimony inasmuch as a portion of
that period he was one of the editors of the
leading daily journal of that city.
When Captain Deal was inducted Into that
office there was a very ugly element in the
criminal class of Sacramento. Gambling was
carried on openly, and at the ' 'El Dorado" and
other extensive gaming halls desperate afl'ravs
and deadly encounters were almost of nightly
occurrence. Other houses of disrepute were
openly patronized by prominent citizens who
having left their families thousands of miles
away, .felt themselves under no moral restraint,
and consequently indulged in conduct no less
reprehensible than that of the culprits on the
prison brifj or in the calaboose.
It required greater nerve, bravery and reso
lution to wage war against the turbulent and
reckless element of Sacramento society in those
early days than it did to face the swarthy foe
on the iields of Mexico. But before the expira
tion of Captain Deal's term of office he, with
his able coadjutors, had produced so radical a
transformation in the police department of
the city government that Sacramento could
justly be ranked among the most orderly and
law-abiding cities of the commonwealth.
Under Governor Haight's administration Mr.
Deal occupied a prominent position for four
years in the State Treasurer's office. In 1875
he made San Francisco his permanent home.
Almost immediately he received the appoint
ment of chief detective of the Central Pacific
Railway Company. To his courage, sagacity,
sound judgment and untiring zeal this corpo
ration was indebted for invaluable services
rendered them in the capture and conviction
of culprits who had destroyed and endangered
lives, committed forgery, perjury, arson and
for other offenses rendered themselves amena
ble to the criminal laws of the State.
During the last year the captain occupied a
position in the United States Mint, but was
compelled owing to ill health to tender his res
ignation. The deceased was married in Pitts
burg, Pa., to Miss Jane Blair in March, 1849.
By her he had a daughter, since deceased; also
two sons, Samuel Deal Jr. and William C, both
of whom are members of the Pioneer Society.
The father was also a life member of the frater
niiy, a member of the Associated Mexican War
Veterans and a prominent Mason and Odd Fel
low.
He was a useful and honorable member of the
community. Like all brave men, he was modest
and magnanimous. Resolute and unflinching
in the hour of danger, he was nevertheless pos
sessed of a disposition so genial and compan
ionable as to endear him to hosts of friends
throughout the State.
The funeral will be held in Pioneer Hall on
Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Pallbearers will
be selected from the Pioneer, Masonic, Mexican
Veterans and Odd Fellows societies. The re
mains will be conveyed to Cypress Lawn Cem
etery and there incinerated. The deceased was
72 years old.
The Platte River was originally named
the Nebraska, from an Indian word mean
ing "shallow water."
