yesterday for New York to attend pre-liminary rehearsals, and on Thursday aft-ernoon he drew 5400 from the bank fortraveling expenses. This money he had onhis person when attacked.

While he has no recollection of any-thing that occurred from the time hereached the corner of "Van Ness avenuearid Ellis street, just a stone's throw fromhis residence, until"he found himself inhis wife's;dressing room at the AlcazarTheater, he has a faint recollection

"of

crying for help and supposes the noisefrightened away his assailants.

Mr. Morrison's nose is broken, his up-per lip laid open some three inches andone of 'his legs is badly sprained. Hiships, knees and shins are badly bruisedami barked, and. he still suffers intensepain in the region of the back of the neckwhere the sandbag landed. He is deniedto visitors by the doctor's orders.

The pugilistic pot is beginning to boilagain. During this month a number ofcontests, professional and amateur, willbe' brought off in this city. The NationalAthletic Club has matched George Gard-ner and "Kid" Carter to battle twentyrounds on August 30. Ata previous meet-ing Gardner was given a decision overCarter after twenty rounds of hard fight-Ing. Both men have improved 100 percent since their first meeting, and the out-come of the coming fightis doubtful. Car-ter's splendid showing against clever JackRoot in this city a few months ago hasmade him very popular with local ring-goers. Gardner did not have much oppor-tunity to show the devotees of the gamewhat he could do on his recent appear-ance here, but he- gave them an inklingof his caliber by outfighting Jack Moffattduring their short bout.• "Kid"- McFadden and Willie Snailhamwill furnish the preliminary contest. They

will enter the ring weighing 115 pounds.This will be Snailham's second profes-sional .fight, and his friends are anxiousto see what he can-do against McFadden.The latter has deposited a forfeit to bewithin the stipulated weight.

Aneffort is being made to bringFrankieNeil and Eddie Hanlon together again.Both lads are amateurs, but have showna disposition to enter the professionalranks. Hanlon secured a well-earned de-cision over Noil when they fought beforethe Bay City Athletic Club last month.Neil is anxious for a return match.

The San Francisco Athletic Club willhold its monthly athletic exhibition nextFriday evening. The- following card hasbeen aranged: Rob Johnson vs. MikeMaher 105 pounds, four rounds; StubSutherland .vs. "Kid" Parker. Uo pounds,four rounds; Fred Landers vs. Joe Brad-shaw. 120 pounis, four rounds: Jack Por-ter vs. BillyCirr.128 pounds, four rounds:George Erdalatz vs. Jack McCarthy. 130pounds, four rounds; Jack Duffy vs. PeteMcGee, 135 pounds, four rounds: MikeCurtin vs. BillyToy. four rounds, and"Cyclone" Kellyvs. Sid Hall, four rounds.

The success of the entertainment wasdue to the efforts of the following;com-mittee: . . • . ¦ . -

Among those present were Rev. iPhilipO'Ryan, Rev. E. P. Dempsey and -Rev.Father Ramm. .<:....

The committee had to do some figuringto arrive at the victors ¦. and. sometimeswere delayed by reason of the fact thatsome gallant player passed his card toa fair one so that she- might have- achance to gain one of the I handsomeprizes awarded. In deciding on -winnersthe committee counted the greatest,num-ber of points made instead of games won.

The winners of a.game would- move upone table and- play the losers and in,thisway the partners were constantly chang-ing and the excitement was kept on theincrease. At the close of the successfulcard party the tables and 'chairs werecleared away and for more than, an hourdancing was enjoyed. ¦ ¦ .. » ' . ¦ . .-

The hall presented a striking appear-ance during the pnogress of the interest-ing games. Seated at sixty-three smalltables placed in ,rows of nine were 252players. The buzz of conversation couldbe heard above the music .discoursed byan orchestra. There were no disputes andthe committee, armed with punches,passed from table to table and creditedthe players with the number of pointsthey were entitled' to. "¦

Prizes were awarded to the followingladies and. gentlemen:

Euchre: Ladies—First, Miss A.O'Reilly;sec-ond. Miss Margaret Keegan. Gentlemen— First,'\V. E. Dorn; second. J. E.,White.

One of the most interesting entertain-ments held in this city in many monthswas a progressive whist and euchre partygiven last night in Golden Gate Hall byCathedral Council No. .59, Young Men'sInstitute. The affair was highly success-ful and netted the organization morethan $150, which will be devoted to pre-paring a handsome booth for the Cathe-dral bazaar, which is to be held the latterpart of next month. ;

The "doom of the farmer" ¦ was thetheme of discussion at the afternoon ses-sion. Mr. Sproule claimed that ifoil rates.were reduced so much oil would be forcea.into the market as to reduce the priceof coal and make itunprofitable for ves-sels carrying coal to come here and expecta return cargo of wheat. : Quoting •fromthe report of the secretary of the ProduceExchange,. he said that 387,136 short tonsof wheat were exported in 1901, and 70 percent of this amount was carried away inforeign ships which had come here ladenwith coa}. . . ¦ -, -,. . -- . ¦ ",..-:,.'.

Questions as to the factors that deter-mine a freight rate were hurled at Sprouleby Attorney Short. Whether "value" en-tered into the consideration of!the freightrate making took up the greater, portionof the session, and a long,dissertation bySproule .on : this subject made jitIneces-sary to take an adjournment- until thismorning. The arguments will not beheard until next week.'

Ah the oil moved from all the oil dis-stricts of the State for the year 1901amounted to 250,983 tons. ¦ Of- this amount92,889 tons was turned over to the SantaFe, leaving 159,094 to be hauled by thsjSouthern Pacific Company. The" averagewas fourteen carloads a day. The com-'bined movements of oil amounted- to'6324carloads, averaging seventeen, a day.From the sidings, the' Southern PacificCompany hauled 126,000 -tons, equivalentto 5040 cars, 420 cars per month

-or four-

teen, carloads a day. • On '.each .car-aswitching charge of $5 was made. ¦

•

It developed that local merchants whodesired a carload of freight.moved to aprivate warehouse in.the city, a distanceperhaps of only "two blocks, were- com-pelled to pay -a switching charge of.$2 50a car,- and if loaded at the same ware-house a similar charge was made f whenit;was removed again' to the mairiMlne."Mr. Sproule. claimed that ;; these chargeswere made by. all roads. ¦ .. .¦ ,.',:. •' ...,-'

How It Affects the.Farmer.^ ¦•'

The matter- was allowed to drop, ¦ andattention was turned 'to a considerationof rates charged in Eastern States witha view, of comparing them with Califor-nia- rates. Lima,' Ohio, an important cen-ter in the oil fields of the East, was takenas a basis and rates from there to Chi-cago, Moline, 111.; • Davenport and DesMoines, Iowa; St. Paul, Minneapolis 'andKansas City, all known as short/line- dis-tances, were quoted to prove that -in-noinstance was the rate less than 1cent perton per mile. In all cases, Mr.;Sprouleclaimed, there was competition in theserates by one. or two lines. OH" rates" in'Texas and Pennsylvania were quoted fora similar comparison. "

"You car. have them if you \want, tostand the expense," said Mr. Herring "andwe willplace every facility in your handsfor getting rthe information."

"That would take a large force of clerksseveral weeks," responded Sproule. "Itwould take eight or ten men two weeksat least to cull out this information.".:, ,' *

"I think' the commission should ''be' inpossession of these figures," said Short.-

William Sproule, freight traffic managerof the Pacifie division of the SouthernPacific Company, was the only witnesscalled before the Railroad Commissionersyesterday in the oil rate investigation.Mr. Sproule's testimony comprised a massof figures, representing the earnings ofthe different sections .of the" road. Asthey were being read by Mr. Sproule, At-torney Short requested that they be sosegragated that- he might be enabled- toget at the particular ones representingthe earnings of the lines from, the oilfields to San Francisco. ¦'¦'¦.' .' • S

Dimmick was seen last Thursday even-ing in the Union League Club somewhatunder the influence of liquor. He re-marked jocosely to ¦ Assistant UnitedStates Attorney B. L. McKinley that theattorney might be prosecuting him soonin the Federal courts. He said furtherthat he was surprised that he had notbeen arrested for the robbery of the SelbySmelting Works also. i

Court Commissioner Heacock issued thev-arrant for the arrest of Dimmick andChie! Hazen started out about 4 p. m. tosearch for the accused.

The complaints charge that Dimmickwhile employed in the Mint and entrustedwith the sums named feloniously andfraudulently embezzled the same and con-verted them to his own use. The story isnot told in the complaint, but is to the ef-IVci that Dimmick used to draw fromCashier W. K. Cole the sums named in thecomplaint for the ostensible purpose ofpaying the Selby Lead and Smelting"Works for lead pipe furnished the Mint.Instead of paying the Selby people it isalleged by the Secret Service people thatDimmick kept the money for three monthsor thereabouts, replacing the sums whenn.<aking up his accounts with the Gov-ernment each quarter. The Mint alsofurnished the smelting works with blue-stone and took in exchange lead pipe, thevalue of which Dimmick is accused ofhaving collected from Cashier Cole andappropriated.

United States Attorney Woodworth saidyesterday that all ttte small sums namedhad been replaced by Dimmick from timeto time after using the monev, but thatthat fact did not exonerate him from thecharges of embezzlement-
