to The Call.
THE HAGUE, May 26.— 1t can now be I
stated with some degree of confidence
that the delegates to the Peace Con
ference are gradually arriving at the
belief that its outcome will be very
much what Andrew White, United
Embassador at Berlin and head '
of the American delegation here, fore-
I ■ •':. correspondent of the As
ted Press in the interview cabled
t<i the Tnit. .i States last Monday.
So far as armaments aro concerned, j
the utmost that is expected to be ac
plished is some slight recommenda
tions to the Governments participating.
The various committees have now
1 to work, ami the delegates have :
begun a formal exchange of views. It:
was decided to-day to appoint commit
tees i" re.-eive all suggestions, pro-;
a and petitions emanating from
outsiders, but so far as Is yet ascer- j
talnable these will be pigeonholed with
out consideration, unless they
within the purview of the questions
enumerated in the circular of Count
Mtiravieff, the Russian Minister of For- ;
Affairs, in outlining the subjects
for consideration.
The disarmament committee met this
morning, and M. Bernaert, chief of the
Belgian delegation, who presided, set
forth the points submitted for consid
eration. The two sections immediately !
divided and proceeded to a discussion of j
of firearms and explos- '
Ives, which continued until the hour l"or
adjournment.
The arbitration committee met this
aoon under the presidency of the
chiel of the Fn in h delegation, Leon
Bourgeois, who was Hanked by the;
honorary presidents of tlu- committee.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, chief of the Brit
isfa delegation, and Count Nigra, chief
..t the Italian delegation.
M. I presented the questions
of mediation and arbitration and sug- j
d a programme the committee
might follow, urging recourse to all
pacific means to settle international
Questions before a recourse to war. He'
submitted a long list of possible sub
jects of dispute which might arise be-'
tween nations and yet might find solu- .
tlon In arbitration, closing with the
more difficult problems. He then pre
sented a Bcheme already introduced to
the full conference by a Russian d
.t scheme consisting of forty ar
tides.
Th< nf of M. Bourgeois was
clear ami concise, commanding the
-t attention.
Sir Julian f&uucefote proposed that,
the committee should immediately
all else, to consider the
rmanent tribunal of ar
bitration. He did not, however, sub
mit any plan and eventually withdrew
his motion in view of the suggestions
. by Count Nigra and others, who
I the wisdom of following the pro
tne of the ], resident, in which
the question of a permanent tribunal
s the general subject of arbitra
tion.
M. Bourgeois observed that the com
mittee, by not opposing it, gave adhe
•■> the principle favoring a peace
ful polution of international questions
before a recourse to arms.
Recognizing that the committee was ■
too large to consider the Russian pro
posals, M. Bourgeois appointed the fol
lowing sub-committee: Chevalier Des
camps-David, of the Belgian delega
tion; Professor Asser, privy councillor
of The Netherlands delegation; Baron
Estournelles de Constant of the French
delegation; Frederick Holls, secretary
of the United States delegation; M.
I.ammasch of the Austro-Hunirarian ;
-ation; Professor Maartens of the
Russian delegation.; M. F. Odier of the
Swiss delegation, and Dr. Zorn of the
University of Konigsberg, representing;
the German delegation.
Sir Julian Pauncefote and fount
Nigra were appointed honorary presi
dents of the sub-committee and M.
Bourgeois and M. Destal were em- ]
powered to attend its meetings.
This arrangement gives representa
tion to all the great powers as well as
to Holland, Belgium and Switzerland.
Chevalier Deacamps-David was ap
pointed chairman of the sub-commit

WORLD'S RECORD BROKEN.
Pennsylvania University Athlete's
New Broad Jump Mark.
NEW VoliK, May W.— Tho twenty
fourth annual athletic meeting under the
auspices of the Intercollegiate Amateur
Athletic Association to determine the in
tercollegiate championship at field and
track events began this afternoon on
Manhattan Held, where it will be conclud
ed to-morrow, the trials having taken up
the time to-day.
One world's record was smashed. This
was on the running broad jump, and A.
C. Kxaentlein of Pennsylvania, who had
acquitted himself cleverly earlier In tho
afternoon by winning his high and low
hurdle trials, was the <>ne who did the
trick. On bis lir.st jump the Pennsylva
nlan covered 23 feet 10^2 Inches, but
• clipsed his own world"s record of 24 feet
3% Inohea on his second attempt, covering
114 feet 4V-2 inches. There was some doubt
;is t<i whether his jump was a world's rec
ord, but "Father Bill" Curtis dispelled
this by asserting that Xewburn's jump nf
2\ feet d\ inches, ma<l>- at Mullingar, Ire
land, was not accepted by the. Irish or
English associations.
Pennsylvania has certainly the best
chance for the honors, and except some
thing happens to disable, her representa
tives the intercollegiate trophy will re
main In the University of Pennsylvania
for another year. Representatives of
Pennsylvania, Princeton, Harvard. Yale,
Columbia. Cornell, Syracuse and George
town are competing-
McOovern the Winner.
NEW YORK. May 26.— Terry McGovern
of Brooklyn defeated Sammy Kelly in
less than five rounds at Broadway Athletic
Club to-night. Kelly was in good shape,
McGovern, with youth on his side, was

afar. A fresh east southeast breeze was blowing and the sea was ris

engines of the Paris were going at full speed the Paris appeared to be

SOME LARGE BETS
ON THE BIG FIGHT
Fitzsimmons a Warm Favorite, but
There Is No Lack of
Jeffries Money.
NEW YORK, Maj 26.— Fitzsimmons is!
a big favorite for the coming flght with j
Jeffries. A good deal of Jeffries money
was in evidence at Dave Hollands to
day. Two wagers of $300 to $450 were
on the Californian. Larry Ryan, a
hot Fitzsimmons enthusiast, laid $100 to
$75 on the champion twice. T. J. Ryan,
the bookmaker, has $2000 to back the
Cornishman. Jerry Fitzpatrick to-day
found a taker for $200. Alf King, mana-
Solly Smith, found a customer for
m ;' his money. Zeke Butler agreed to
lay $1000 against this sum. These are the
largest Odds given against Jeffries since
the flght was Hrsl broached
"Skeets" Martin, the jockey, says he
has $1000 which he wishes to stake againsi
$2 «i that Jeffries will win. Peter Daily.
the actor, has placed $1000 to $500 on Fitz
simmons. Joe Little Of Oceanic. N. J..
where Jeffries trained last year to me. ,
Bob Armstrong, was in town with a targe !
wad of greenbacks to hazard on the < alt
fornian at l to 2. "Hilly" Curran, another
Jeffries supporter, has $586 to back the
boiler maker at the prevailing odds.
\s the general impression around town
was that "the battle would be for twenty
rounds the announcement that the limit
of the' encounter had been Increased to
twenty-five rounds naturally caused a
good deal of comment. In consequence m
the change many wagers were made, stip
ulating the number of rounds in wntch
either pugilist would do the trick. 1-ltz
«immons has the call in this respect, and
a number of bets at even money were
recorded to-day that he would stop the
brawny boiler-maker in about thirty min
utes.

FOLSOM LINED
WITH WEAPONS
Startling Discovery of
Warden Aull.
; Dispatch to The Call.
SACRAMENTO, May 26.— Prison- Di
rector James H. 'Wilkins has succeeded in
giving Folsom Penitentiary one of the
most wholesome upheavals in its history,
and incidentally a very disagreeable sur
prise to Warden Aull. The Warden used
to think Folsom remarkably free from
weapons, on account of the limited op
portunity the convicts there have to
manufacture such articles as compared
with San Quentin prison, but he lias
changed his mind.
On account of tho cowardly attack on
Guard Janus McDonald by Jacob Oppen
hetmer and the murder of Showers by
Putt man, both crimes occurring with
only a few hours' difference of time, the
Board of State Prison Directors con
cluded at their late meeting at Folsom
that a drastic method was necessary to
prevent the repetition" of such terrible
events. Accordingly Director Wilkins
drew up a resolution, adopted by. the
board, which provided that any prisoner
caught in future with a deadly weapon in
bis possession should be placed in soli
tary confinement and kept there for the'
remainder of his term, without regard to
its length. \
In' the case of "Toughy" Wilson, also
known as "Shy Red." a convict who had
been punished seventeen times for in
fractions of prison discipline, the law was
made ex post facto. Wilson was brought
before -the board for trying to Stab a
man, the attempt failing on account- of
the assailant stumbling as he ■ made- the
thrust, He was exceedingly. defiant and
said he would arm himselr as often as he
'pleased. -- • * -
"Well," said President Fitzgerald, "we
have made a new rule; under which you
will have to serve the remainder of your
term of thirty-six years in solitary con
finement." _ '.-■.-.
"What? Thirty-six years in solitary
confinement!" yelled the now thoroughly
frightened man. He was tokl it meant
that, and was so overcome that he had to
be supported to his cell. The news was
soon disseminated anmng the convicts
and caused a commotion.
Last Wednesday Warden Aull Bet all
the guards available at work to search
the penitentiary and the result nearly
gave him an attack of heart failurJ.
Knives, brass knuckles, "billies," skele
ton keys, "jimmies." and bludgeons wore
found all over the prison. They were dis
covered on convicts, in cells, in the work
shops, around the grounds and in various
Bafe places throughout the different build
ings, the small arsenal piled before War
den Aull at the close making his eyes di
late in wonder.
"Holy smoke:" he exclaimed, "I never
dreamed there were so many weapons in
the prison from the time it was built un
til wp made this search."
What caused the greatest wonder was
the discovery of a murderous dirk knife
of prison manufacture on the "trusty"
who assists Clerk Urainerd S. Smith.
Aull was not nearly so surprised as was
Smith when this discovery was made,
because the "trusty" was thought to be
one of the most reliable convicts at Fol
som.
The prisoners were then all lined up and
addressed by the Warden. He told them
of the new rule and the intention to en
force it, without regard to consequences.
The convicts w.re informed that as the
prison had just been cleared of weapons
th.y had a clear record With which to
start and had better take Lhfl warning.
A pin could have been heard to drop
while Aull was speaking, and it is safe to
say that weapons at Folsom will here
after be manufactured on the retail plan.
Alameda's Tax Money Refused.
SACRAMENTO, May 26.— A tender was
made to State Controller Colgan to-day
of the taxes of Alameda County due the
State, but the Controller declined to ac
cept the tender pending the settlement of
the conUntion relative to the commis
sions of Assessor Dalton for the collec
tion of poll taxes. The amount tendered
was according to Assessor Dalton's cal
culations.
S. M. HUGHES IS NOW
GOVERNMENT ANALYST
UN'i'l.K SAM has created a new
office in the customs department
fn this city, and S. M. Hughes,
Ph. G., the well-known druggist,
has been selected as the first man to
administer it. The position is that of
special analyst for everything except
wines, teas and coffees.
Mr. Hughes' duties are quite numer
ous and arduous. They call for the
chemical analysis of, ores, oils, chem
icals, silks and every import of which
it is necessary for the Government to
know the constituents. Probably the
most important part of Mr. Hughes'
work will be that of polarizing Import
ed sugars to determine their sacchar
ine strength. Another responsible re
quirement of the office, which means
much to the canners of the State, i 3
that of determining the amount of
sugar contained in canned fruits ex
ported from this port, for which the
Government allows the shipper a
drawback.
The now official is a graduate of the
University of California, and has fol
lowed the profession of druggist and
chemist for the last twenty-five years
in this city. By reason of his well
known abilities it goes without say
ing that the exacting duties of the po
sition will be well performed. Mr.
Hughes is now receiving the congratu
lations of his many friends.

CARLOADS OF CRANKS COMING.
Santa Cruz Fanatics Will Root for
Their Team To-Day.
Baseball of the noisy, spectacular sort
will be served up to the fans at Recrea
tion Park this week. No genuine base
ball enthusiast will miss the coming
struggle for first place between Santa
Crui and San Francisco. . particularly
when it is known that two hundred rabid
supporters of the Sand Crabs are coming
up from the city by the sea to shout and
root for their pet aggregation of home
talent. Manager Tuttle of Santa Cruz has ;
chartered a special train to convey his
young men and their ardent supporters to
this city and they will arrive this morn- |
ing The fans of Santa Cruz have not
recovered from their indignation aroused
two weeks ago. when their team was
given a walloping on the home diamond. j
They have been laboring under the delu- |
sion that Manager Harris, the. umpire and
Captain Tip (/Neil entered into a con
spiracy to rob them of the game, and they ;
are coming all the way to San Francisco
to get satisfaction. A series of three
games will be played, one of which will
take Place in Oakland Sunday morning, ,
and the visitors will use three pitchers,
commencing with Daubenbis and winding
up on Sunday afternoon with Do nil n. the
kingpin twlrler of the league The Friscos
will depend largely on "Fireman Fitz,
who will do the Pitching this afternoon
and to-morrow afternoon. The only time
he has been batted hard this season was
in the game against Santa Cruz, and he
is cage? for. an opportunity to convince
the Sand Crabs that they are not .the hot
test batters in the game. John P. CahiU,
who appears to have the confidence of the
Santa Cruzans, has been detailed by Pres
ident Moran to umpire the games.
Following is the line-up for to-day.

Buffers for Sins of Others.
J. M. Rademaker. proprietor or" the
Metropole saloon, 733 Market street, is be
ing made to suffer through the sins of
others. Among the arrests for conduct
ing percentage poker games recently was
one Hanson, whose place of business ad
joined the Metropole. In the publication
of the arrest Hanson was referred to as
the proprietor of the "Metropole," where
as his place was known as the "Market
Street Social Club." The same mistake
was made upon Hanson's conviction in
the. Police Court. As a result of these
errors Mr. Rademaker says his business
has been practically ruined. He had
agreed to sell the place to the Golden
Eagle Distilling Company and the papers
were being prepared, but in consequence
of his saloon being confounded with the
poker rooms the deal was declared, off,
and many of his former customers are
now afraid to be seen entering the place.
He asserts that there has not been a
game of cards played in the Metropole in
three months.

POLICEMEN RUN
INTO A TARTAR
AND ARE SORRY
Five Stalwarts Have a
Fierce Battle.
THREE PLACES DEMOLISHED
"OLLIE" FAIRFIELD'S LACK OF
LOVE FOR TELEPHONES.
Bound and Carried to Jail After Sus
taining Several Injuries and
Charged With Two
Offenses.
Oliver Fairfield, a newspaper <- ;) rripr,
•whose route lies in the Mission district, is
what the police term a "Tartar." When
"Ollie's" stomach is filled with wine he "v.
develops exceedingly destructiv< tenden- /
cies, especially true as regards the local
telephone system, and gratifies his desire
to the great discomfort of the blue-coated
stalwarts. After imbibing rai
yesterday Fairlnld blazed his
through several places, and five ;
proved their authority to arrest hit i
ment of the evening only by thi
their brows.
About dusk Fairti'M entered tl
and saloon of A. Speckter at Twi
fifth and Mission streets and proceeded to
smash everything in sight. The police
were notified, but when an officer arrived
the bird had flown to Schubert's saloon
at Sixteenth and Mission streets, where
the performance was repeated. "Ollie" then
went to Mayers' oyster cafe, and. after
breaking a telephone to pieces because
"central" did not answer soon enough to
suit him he started in to demolish the
store.
He was engaged in this work on., the
wholesale plan when two persons un
known banged him on the head with
clubs, inflicting some severe bruises and
a bad cut over the right eye. Officers
Graham, Connell, Fitzgerald, Dalton and
Farrell arrived on the. scene just-as Fa4r
field was recuperating -and look the- ini- .
tial step at taking: him into custody,
eral other steps: were taken, but good
deal of time" elapsed between them; as 1
the limbs of the law. found it necessary
to work in relays. j ' ~ i .- 1 -'<■•"«
After a terrific struggle, in which the
establishment' was nearly wrecked, the
man was trussed hand and -foot and Car
ried almost to the Seventeenth-street Sta
tion. Once he got his feet loose and
kicked two of the officers hard enough
for them to remember the occasion for
a long time. Almost arrived at the sta
tion Fairfield broke loose and fled. He
was recaptured and brought back after*
another hard struggle in the street. It
took about ten policemen to put the frac
tious prisoner in the dungeon.
Charges of disturbing the peace and ma
licious mischief were placed against Fair
field's name. He is said to be a decent
sort of a fellow when sober, but has made
the police trouble on various occasions
while intoxicated- His reputation was so
well known that' the one officer sent at
first to arrest him, after learning of the
person with whom he had to deal, sent
for more until the full complement of
five was made up. • .•:...,
