TARP TAKES FOURTH
FROM FAST COMPANY
Large Crowd Sees Running
of Unusual Card at
Seattle
Special b\) Leased Wire to The Call
SEATTLE. Aug. 19. — A large crowd
was out to see run oft* the best Monday
card of the season and was treated to
the usual upset In the first race of the
week. School Bell looked bo good that
the public was willing to accept 4 to
5 for its money. Off to a perfect start,
Davis hunted for Interference, found
it and was bumped out of the race,
finishing outside the money. The win
ner turned up In Costados, cleverly
ridden by Manders; Blsagno second and
Orelio third.
The Fleur de Lls stable's aged mare
Briers took the second event from Mar
pessa and Midmount. Buxton, on the
winner, made no mistakes, getting her
away well and keeping his mount up
to the front clear of interference. She
•won with plenty to spare.
The third race, a split of the second,
resulted in the talent picking the win
ner when Queen Alamo, the favorite,
galloped in ahead of Dewey and Tl
tanus. Melar endeavored to go out
with Alamo, but found the pace too
stiff and stopped to a walk.
While a selling race, the fourth
brought out the best class of perform
ers of the day and finished satisfac
torily for form players. Tarp. the fa
vorite, led from wire to wide and won
eased up from Avontellus and Manda
tor. The latter made his first appear
ance at the track and ran a creditable
race. Mabel Hollander, backed for
thousands, failed to run up to expec
tations and quit badly from the fast
pace.
Manders demonstrated his ability as
a jockey by getting Pelham away flying
and keeping him there to take the
fifth from Triumphant, with Meada
third. The second horse ran a swell
race from a slow beginning.
The flyers had the last call for the
day and again showed the wisdom of
the public by picking them one, two,
three. Billy Mayham held on better
than usual, and from an improved ride
by Gross lasted to beat out Jfattie
Bumppo and Rey del Mundo.
Gorgan was fined $25 for bumping

HERRITON'S PLEA FOR
DISMISSAL IS DENIED
Court Holds That Evidence
of Subornation of Perjury
Xo OtllllLlCllL v
Special by Leased Wire to The Call
SAN JOSE, Aug. 19. — Judge Brown
denied today the motion of the attor
neys of R -A. Herrlngton for a-dis
missal of the charge of subornation of
perjury and held Herrington to answer
to the superior court under $2,500 bail.
The motion for a dismissal was " made
Saturday, and was argued at length by
attorneys John E. Richards for the de
fendant and James P. Sex for the prosed
cution.
The motion was based upon the
grounds that the complaint was in
sufficient in its averments and that the
evidence was not sufficient to prove the
offense charged. Neither of - the : con
tentions of the defense was admitted
by Judge Brown, who : in ,a r brief
opinion decided that the complaint was
sufficient under section 137 of the crim
inal code and that the testimony of Ray
Roseblade as to the alleged bribery;
corroborated by that of Mrs. Adams
and Mrs. Roseblade as well -^ as by
other witnesses, was sufficient to war
rant the holding of- the accused" for
trial.
At the conclusion of Judge Brown's
opinion Attorney Richards announced
that, the defense, had no evidence ..to
offer, and Herrington was formally held
to appear ' before the superior court'
When tho question of bail was-men
tioned William A. ; Bowden, one of Her
rington's bondsmen upon the charge in
the justice's court, addressed the
court- requesting, that he be released
from the bond owing to a rule of the
superior court relative to the qualify
ing .of v attorneys as bondsmen. He
also= requested on behalf of the other
bondsmen/ that they also 7: be released,
and the request was formally fallowed
by, the court ;-
Thus Herrington was ..left • for. the
time being without bail and' virtually
and technically was In- custody. " As*
soon -as - the ; commitment i, papers ;. were
pi ejmred by. " Judge Brown - Sheriff
Langford accompanied Herrington to
the county jail, where the prisoner
awaited further moves -of . his
neys.
In the meantime an application for a
writ of ' habeas . corpus vwas * filed* in
Judge Rhoades'-- department, of ; the su
perior court ; and an; order I was * made
setting Friday for, the hearing.? The
habeas , ; corpus proceedings -' will ' Jibei be
heard -before /Judge 'Welch, although
Judge Rhoades, as :an •accommodation
to Judge Welch, who; Isvout ?of:? of : town;
made? the; preliminary order.

THE.SAff: FRANC^^
FOOTBALL MEN READY
FOR THE RUGBY SEASON
Captain Walter Tuller to
Get His : Men Together
This Afternoon
The football season at the University
of California; will open this (afternoon.
Captain Walter Tuller has issued a 1a 1 call
for all men who Intend to be candidates
for either freshman or varsity teams to
meet at California. hall. , V ' r
, The meeting will* be addressed by.
Coach Oscar N., Taylor; Prof. Walter E.
Magee, who Is" to'have charge of team
ing "the* men : this \u25a0 year; : James Burke,"
president of the associated students;
Cal. Haff ey, captain of the 1906 varsity
team, and "Ollie".Snedigar, the gradu
ate manager. The men wllll then sign
for the season's \u25a0 work. v
Active practice ; will be . begun on
Wednesday evening, when a great
bleacher rally will be . beld on Cali
fornia field to start the -season's work.
The prospects for turning out a win
ning team were never brighter. Of the
16 men who participated, in last year's
big game 13 will' be in ' college and
will again be candidates for their posi
tions. George Jones^ captain; of the
varsity .crew 'arid third , rank scrum
player, and Julian; *.\ Whitman, who
played center and three-quarters posi
tion last year, have graduated , and
will not be in college. Forrest Stanton,
who played wing: three-quarters' last
year; and was the, fastest man" on the
field, is traveling in Europe and will not
return to college in time to ;\u25a0 play this
fall. All three are men ; whose places
will be hard to fill.
However, the 13; varsity men who
do return^will make a splendid nucleus
for a team. .; Captain Walter Tuller will
probably play his old position of wing
forward. \u25a0 \u25a0 ;r
Cal. Haffey, last year's captain, has
decided to return to complete his work
in the college of mining and will again
be out for his old place in the scrum.
Herman Budelman, the big.; "lock
man" on last year's team, will again be
a candidate, and it will take an excep
tional man to beat him for his place,
as he is 6 feet 5 inchesrin height,
weighs 190 pounds and is very strong.
For the other positions in the scrum
George BeJK Ed Stow, Twitchell, Far
mer .; and Fairbanks, all of, whom took
part in the game with Stanford : last
year, will make an aggregation of for
wards that is at once heavy and fast
and has the advantage of experience to
gether in big matches.
In the back field Butler at
Schaeffer at halfback. Dyer at wing
three-quarters, and Cuff and \u25a0 Freeman
at the five-eighths positions will all be
In their suits again this year — left
wing three-quarters.
Stanton's , place and center three
quarters, which Whitman; held: last
year, will be vacant, and good 'men
will have to be developed to take'theJr
places. There are a number of good
players who were substitutes last year,
any one of whom may show, varsity
i caliber this season. Johns, '09, and
! Johns, '10, are two of the most promis
ing, xboth'Abeing fast men.
Glascock is another, hard," aggressive
player who will/be,- heard from before
the season closes. Scadden and Webster,
both of whom -; played j star games on
last year's victorious -freshman* team,
bid fair to show varsity . form. .
, Barnicott, ; who was one of the five
substitutes chosen last 'year, and Os
trander, who was also picked as. a sub
stitute, will make " some of the old
players work all the time to hold their
places. On the whole.the prospectsfor
a winning team could hardly be better.

Supervisors Are to Call a Halt in
Four Round Boxing Bouts
R. A. Smyth
- \', The : supervisors at their meeting
yesterday, turned back to the police
committee their recommendation' that
certain: promoters of r four round;*box
ing bouts : be'granted permits -under
which they, could promote their shows.
This ; is taken as an I indications that [the
present board; will frown hereafter, on
this s fornv of boxing entertainment The
promoters i have* themselves %to blame
for it," as^ they have overdone the game
and have allowed many evils to creep
\u25a0in: ..',. , ; :..."-..; .\u25a0 \u0084.,•\u25a0 \u25a0 \u0084 _"• :. ''/ ...
This boxing was originally /intended
for 1 amateurs, ; but the promoters be
came grasping and in their anxiety/ to
secure v good drawing, cards ' they£ com;
rrienced ; to bid > against one another un
til all » semblance of amateurism - van
ished .from the game; It J is expected
that a new. ordinance .will; be drafted
under which a' larger license iwillr be
charged , these promoters ; and the (sub^
terfuge /that, amateurs are competing
will be abandoned. This will throw the
game open 'to all : fighters ' and .the
cloak. of hypocrisy which envelops the
game, at present will be cast aside.
, The^ supervisors granted , a 1 profes
sional--boxing /permit to Manager, Alex
Greggains of the San Francisco athletic
club. /.This; covers tne bout /between
Mike Schreck/ and Al Kaufman on-the
29th. ; The .permit for. September, v was
granted, last; week. In •granting., the
permit ; for this month. Supervisors

and explained their change 'of attitude
by. saying that /they did -not desire
to force ; their, standard of .; morals; on

TELEGRAPHERS AWAIT
THE FEDERATION'S AID
President Gompers Is Ex
pected to Make Announce
ment Tonight
STRIKERS TO DANCE
Think More of Plans for En
tertainment Than of
.The local situation In the telegra
phers' strike remained unchanged yes
terday, both sides having seemingly
settled down to await the result of the
battle in, the east. At the strikers* head
quarters the leaders expressed them
selves as. being well satisfied with the
present conditions and declared that
the business of the "Western Union and
Postal , companies had been tied up
tight. They are now waiting for the
decision of President Samuel Gompers
of the American federation of labor as
to 1 whether or not the telegraphers
anall receive the support of that or
ganization. ;
Members of the local union "\u25a0 declare
that if the striking operators are given
the support of the federation the strike
will -be- ended within, five days, and
they express confidence that they will
receive .the; indorsement ,of the most
powerful labor organization in the
world. It is expected, that the decision
of Gompers will be made known by to
morrow night. '
• ;, Officials of the Western Union' com
pany declared yesterday that there were
now between 60 and 70 operators on the
day shift at the main office in, West
Oakland and that these are disposing
of all business at V this end without
delay. Conditions around theoffice re
main the same, there - not having, been
a single case of disorder since the be
ginning of the strike.
General Superintendent Frank Jaynes,
in charge of the • western division of
the Western Union telegraph company,
returned to this city yesterday, but
declined to express^any opinion as to
the strike. "That is 'a matter," he said,
"in which I am not at this moment
an authority, Mr. Miller being the
only one at present competent to state
the facts , from- the company's stand
point." Jaynes would not . admit any
great concern over the fight, and
seemed to * feel that the trouble would
soon be ended- by the 'defeat of the
strikers.'
The general superintendent declared
there was not the slightest chance of
his company's accepting arbitration.
Thomas F. Hanley, who, in the ab
sence \u25a0of Deputy National . President
Copps, is in. charge of the situation at
West Oakland, gave out the following
statement: .-
The beginning of the second week of oar
battle with the Western Union and Postal tele
graph companies . finds . every member of oar
organisation who went on strike steadfast la hU
or her - purpose to win the light for fair treat
ment and living wages. Despite the repeated
assertions of the officials of the Western Union
company that they are able to handle business,
the.fact remains -that the. few nafalr operators
who are employed ' In < the Western Union
office at West Oakland are spending their time
in Idleness, enforced because they have so one
with '. whom . to ' work at the other end* of the
wires.
We have received nothing new from National
President Small, who is directing the fight In
the east, nor Is there anything sew la the situ
ation in this city and San" Francisco. So far
as the members of . local No. 84 are concerned
we are not worrying over. the outcome of the
fight, but are giving our attention to other
matters. Our entertainment committee la now
arranging for an entertainment and dance to be
give at Castle hall nest Friday evening, and
it might Interest Mr. Miller and the other offi
cials of the Western Cnlon company to know
that we are thinking more at present of the
success of this entertainment than we are
about the outcome of the strike.
. Reports which we have received from other
parts of the country : Indicate that the mem
bers of other locals of the commercial teleg
raphers', union are evincing the same determina
tion to win the fight as are the members of
local ' 34. ' From New York comes th« news that
the operators employed In the office of the
Postal - company are oat solid, with the excep
tion .of two men and six women. Etgbty-flve
per cent of the operators of the Westers Cnlon
company are also out in New York.
Advices received from Portland and Seattle
are equally, encouraging. . From Portland comes
the , news that all the operators employed In
both' offices are out to a man, but business Is
entirely.' shut down. In Seattle not only are
all the . operators out. but the chiefs have quit
work as well. Our Informant state* that the
people of the north are already demanding a
settlement and ' that the companies - cease . from
their unreasoning attempts to crash our \u25a0 orjan
lzation at : the expense of the convenience of
the , public. \u25a0 This \u25a0 proves \u25a0to as that the people
are waking up to the fact that our demands ar«
only just and - are ready to . give us : their sup
port ! against the . companies. From * these indi
cations It seem* assured - that \u25a0 we' most win
our- fight. , ' . '
Railway Operator Grounds

Interrupted: for Hours
'. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.— The strike
situation in ~, southern California and in
the southwest iln ginteral : was without
material .chango twlay.l The Western
Union has 45 operators on the day and

The interference with Western Union
wires by railroad operators is \u25a0 growing

pany's i most important wires at one
time; and put them out of commission
