There is unusual activity in rowing ecir- cles just at present in preparation by the oarsmen for the Fourth of July regatta at Stockton, in which all of the clubs of this | City will participate. The South Ends, | the Pioneers, the Ariels and the crew from out for practice yesterday off Long Bridge and their work showed the men to be in xcellent condition. : aining wiil continue up to the time of | departure for Stockton, which has been set | for 80’clock on the evening of the 3d.

Returning, the steamer will leave the scene of the regatta at 12 o’clock midnight, | Ju’HlA. Ihe crew from the San Francisco Ath- letic Club will race for the first time, and because of the ‘limited time for training, not a very brilliant record is looked for. This crew is also down for the Sacramento regatta on September 9, and by that time they expect to be able to show first-class work at the oars. The crew is made up as follows: Tom Lynch, captain and bow; George Bates, forward waist; Tim Lynch, after waist; L. Ficken, stroke; G. M. Mc- Dermott, coxswain, & E. P. Dietz is training the regatta crews. He expresses himself as well satisfied with the work doue in the limited time avail- able, and feels conficent that his men will make a zood showing. 5 The Sun Francisco Athletic Club, which will be represented in the regatia by a new crew, has given rowing a veritable boom, and some good things are looked for from several of its membpers who are developing great skill at the oar, "The officers of the club are: P.

D. Kelly and James FORGED' WAGE WARRANTS. Peculiar Transactions of De Cardona of the Street Department. HE SAYS HE IS INNOCENT. More Charges of Forgery Will Prob- ably Be Mace Against Ash- worth’s Clerk. The arrest of Leo de Cardona, assistant bookkeever in the Street Superintendent’s office, for forgery in “raising’” wage war- rants has caused a sensation in small polit- ical circles where he is well known. For many years De Cardona has been an active worker in local politics and he has worked | in nearly every department in the mu- nicipal government. His arrest for forgery was adecided surpriseas he was always rated as honest and reliable. The nature of the charge gives rise to the belief that the city treasury has been sys- tematically plundered for some time past, particularly as nearly all of the forgeries discovered so far date back to the end of last year. How much further crooked work has gone remains to be seen when the Street Department bocks have been thor- oughly gone over by experts. The system, as explained in yesterday’s CALL, was very simple. After the wage warrants had passed the hands of the Street Committee, Auditing Committee and Auditor, they were re- turned to the Street Superintendent’s of- fice, where the sums named were increased so that, for example, $8 would be raised to $28. I most cases only such warrants as had been previously cashed by a money broker were tnus manipulated. Detective Cody, who investigated the books for a week, in company with J. B. Gartland, the head bookkeeper, is satisfied that De Cardona had a coniederate or two in his operations. From all he can learn De Cardona “steered” all those who wanted to get- cash on their warrants ahead of time to Ferdinand Smith, the money-broker at 316 Montgoinery street. The tags he sent to Smith were all taken up by some one before the time to cash the warrants. These tags were destroyed and this left the way clear for the warrants to be raised and presented by the same un- known party. Who these parties are the olice are now trying to learn. Detective Cody is satisfied that Broker Smith was aware of there being something peculiar in the transactions, but to what extentisa matter of conjecture, Mr. Smith stated last evening that many of the tags from the Street Superintend- ent’s office were taken pp before the war- rants were cashed. He does not remem- ber, so he said, who the person is who took up the tags, or whether it was the same person every time. “I am a money-broker,”’ said he, “and whenever I have a chance to make a little commission on City paper I will do so. I have known Mr. de Cardona for three years, ever since_he went into the Street epartment, and I have had more or less business with him ever since.” When Broker Smith was told that the authorities know De Cardona’s confederates he evinced the keenest interest to learn the name or names of the persons. Detective Cody and Mr. Gartland state that in all probabillty half a dozen more charges will be made against the accused, three of which will be'for dummy wa rants for sums of money ranging from $75 to $105. De Cardona made a partial explanation of his position yesterday. He endeavored to throw all of the blame upon J. B. Gart- | land, the head bookkeeper in the Street Department, by insinuating that Gartland knows more about the raised warrants than has come out yet. Accoraing to his story Gartland took a dislike to him as soon as the former entered the office, or a very short time after. He said: 1 do not know why he should dislike me. I never did him an injury that I know of. I have always done his work while he sat around the | office and read law. AsI was in that depart- ment under Ackerson and know all about the workings of the office, I went about my busi- | Fausm had no occasion tc address Mr. Gart- | and. | Iam innocent, and he knows it, or he could | know it if he would take the trouble to look into the matter. About the warrant of Mc- Kinley that was raised from $8 to $28 it was this way. Oneday a deputy from the treasury came to me and asked to see the payroll. When Ishowed it to him he said that there was some- thing wrong. He had paid out $28 on Mec- Kinley’s warrant, and the payroll in our office showed that the man was only entitled to $8. 1 did not understand then, nor do I now, so Iwent to Bmith, the broker who cashed the tag, and asked him about it. Smith told me that my tag was for $8 and cashed it for its face value, less 25 cents, his commission. 1 ‘went to the treasury to make further inquiries, and did not reeeive any light upon the snbject. They told me that all they wanted-was not to lose” by the transaction, so I went back to Smith and borrowed $20, which I paid into the treasury, as I preferred to stand'the loss rather than_have any trouble or unpleasantness in the Street Department. That was my only raised afier it was returned from the Auditor? Yes; it was in my desk with all the other war- | rants and the warrants sometimes remain there ‘ three or four days. I do not know who raised it. Mr. Gartland has a key to that desk the same as I and he can open it at any-time he de- sires, as_he is the head bookkeeper. - It never oceurred to me to examine the warrants to see | if they had been tampered with, but there was plenty of opportunities for others to have altered the documents. - They say that there are othersinterested, and | 1 guess they are right, but they are not inter- ested with me, except to disgrace me. I do not know anything about the other warrants that have been raised or the dummy | warrants. 1 did not suspect that there was | anything wrong until about 4 o’clock yester- | day, when I was told to go into the Clidef’s | office.
