Irwin Clarke, a Eroker From Denver, Is Arrested Here. Irwin Clarke, a diamond-broker, was arrested Wednesday by Detective Ross Whitaker and Policeman O. C. Phillips, on a dispatch from Denver charging him with grand larceny. He lived at the Waldorf House, 404 Eddy street. Onsearching him they found anout $2000 worth of diamonds and a pawn ticket for a diamond ring and diamond stud, which he had pawned for $182 in this City. He refused te give the officers any information, but late Wednes- day night they found his room, and on searching it got pawn tickets for the re- | mainder of the property, which he had pawned in Memphis, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., Kansas City and Chicago. Yesterday Clarke admitted that he had taken about $5000 worth of diamonds be- longing to two persons in Denver, which had been intrusted to him to raise money upon, and_he expressed his willingness to return to Denver without the necessity of extradition papers. He is a. native of Louisviile, Ky. WHY IS IT— It is often asked—that it is so repeatedly stated that DR.

ORDER A CASE TO-DAY. 1 { THE TRACK AT INGLESIDE. | Large Forces of Men Rapidly | Pushing the Work to | Completion. | AMPLE GROUNDS AND HOUSES. | The Pacific Coast Jockey Club Wil | Hold Its First Meeting on | November 1. The work of constructing the racetrack and buildings at Ingleside is progressing | rapidly, and the scene which the new home of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club now pre- | sents is one of energy and activity. The | buildings are being constructed ata record- | breaking pace, while the grading of the racecourse proper is now practically com- pleted. The grand stand is built on ample lines. being 113 by 320 feet. It bas a seating ca- pacity of 4000, and from every seat a per- fect view may be had of the entire race- course. It faces southward at the ter- minus of the stretch, and for every con- ceivable purpose is about as near perfectin location and apportionment as one could desire. A magnificent view is to be had from any part of it of the ocean and the whole of the grounds of the track ins closure. In arrangement it will lack nothing which taste could suggest and will equal, if, indeed, .it should not surpass, the most frequented racecourse structures of the | kind in America. There is a promenade back of the elevated seating twenty feet wide, running the entire length og the | building. The refreshment-rooms will be on the lower fioor. The reception-room is situated on the | second floor, the entrance, however, being | on a level with the ground from the north- west. A large general dining-room 1s also pro- vided, as well as ladies’ parlors. lunch- | rooms, committee-rooms and every other | possible convenience. | There are now 130 men working on the buildings, and there can be no doubt but | that the whole work of construction will | be fully completed by the time announced | for the tapping of the bell announcing | that the first races of the club are on. Fully an egual number of men are engaged | in the work of grading and otherwise pre- | paring the grounds according to the pInns of the club. The racing paddock, which is next to | the grand stand,is well under way and | will soon be completed. Some fifteen of the racing stables are completed and as many more are to be constructed at the rate of one a day until that wors is finished. A. L. and G. B. Campbell have the work | of constructing the building in charge. G. | B. Campbell said yesterday | “There can be no question about the work being fully completed by the 1st of November.

The Fight in Rates Was Never More Bitter Outside of San Fran- clsco. Conjecture is rife among insurance men on California, Sansome and Montgomery streets as to what the outcome of the con- tinued warfare in rates may be. Quite a large number of local managers are accept- ing the situation with unpleasant fore- bodings and feel inclined to believe that next January will see a ruthless thinning out of their ranks. On the street yesterday various rumors about pending changes were afloat, but in the case of three companies, which it was said had made arrangements to retire from the coast, the rumor was positively denied by the local representatives. Interest centered most of all about Dickson, who will soon leave San Fran- cisco. For several years he was Pacitic Coast manager of the Roval Exchange, Connecticut and the Queen companies, but has been taken by the Roval Exchange | to be its United States manager, with head- quarters in New Y ork. Mr. Dickson will be a loss to this com- punity, for in various ways he has taken | quite an active part in passing affairs. He Las been a trustee of the Presbyterian seminary at San Anselmo, aleading deacon Dr. Mackenzie’s church on Van Ness Sacramento street, and was one of the men who fathered the Christian Union Bureau for Unemployed in the Bijou Theater on Market street. Long ago he was the principal man of Ross & Co., BICYCLES WILL PAY FARE, Railroad Men Say That Wheels Are Becoming a Great Nuisance. BLOOMERS MUST HAVE POCKETS. Our Wheelmen Wili Soon Have to Pay Excess Baggage Rates for Wheels. The bloomer girl had better have small change pockets made in her wheeling cos- tume right away. The railroads are soon going to charge for the transportation of bicycles. Everybody who has watched the growth of the wheeling industry, as it may be termed, has been expecting this for some time. At present the wheelman rideslong distances from home, rides until he gets tired, more so than his wheel, and then when he thinks about home-going, boards a train, stows his wheel in a baggage-car and straightens the curves from his spine on the cushions of a Pullman or parlor car. ‘Wheels are not charged for. With some feeling of justice riders have argued that if they bought first-class tickets and bad no baggage to be checked the least the railroads could do was to carry wheels free. It'strue, too, that during the sum- mer months thousands of people who go one way on their wheels and patronize the railroad to return would otherwise not travel at all. - They go in parties and clubs and all that, and they use the railroad asa handy: sort of adjunct to their own wind and muscle. That's the wheelmen’s side of the story. They say, too, that until the railroads can take better care’ of their wheels they will not be justified in charging for carrying them. They say the machines are jammed in_pellmell into baggage-cars; that trunks fall on them, and clumsy baggagemen often stumble over and fracture the fragile mechanism. The other side—the railroad side—is that bicycles have become a nuisance. Their transportation delays trains and shortens the lives of conductors and baggagemen. Ata recent meeting of railroad men in Chicago the vexed topic was debated at length. The result was that the leading Eastern lines—the Pennsylvania, the New York Central and other roads—agreed to charge for carrying wheels. The Western lines considered a plan to charge the 100 pounds excess baggage rates for each wheel, but everybody would not agree and the plan fell through. Since then the Northern Pacific, Orezon Short Line and Great Northern roads have united in charging a fifty-pounds excass baggage | rate for each wheel. Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas senger Agents’ Association, recently re- vived the subjec v sending out letters to all members asking for their views Gen- eral Passenger Agent Goodman of the Southern Pacific responded by favoring a change of the 100 pounds excess-bagcage <z Cuvs Flovse THE BUILDINGS OF THE PACIFIC COAST JOCKEY CLUB. | R P | build. They will be placed at the further side of the track inclosure from the grand stand and just back of the racing stables. They will used by the jockeys, stable- men and track employes generally. “The stables contain from twenty-two to forty large box-stalls each, and will be sup- plied with every convenience known in that line. “You will observe that the inclosure is fenced some on the north portion, and that line is being pushed to completion, which will be reached in but a few days at most. You can notice how rapidly the | ‘fill’ at the western turn of the track is | being made. It is now well-nigh com- | pleted, nothing of any particular moment to be done, save to finish and trim down the work already done. Adolph Spreckels expressed himself as being highly gratified with the progress | being made in the work at the racecourse. ‘“You may assure the public,” be said, ‘‘that the gates of the Pacitic Coast Jockey Club will be thrown open on the 1st day of November, and that nothing will be lacking in the matter of Ereparations to make the first meeting of the club all that its best wishers could hope it to be.” WHEELMEN'S INTERESTS. News of the Bay City, California, Olym- pic and Other Clubs. The newly elected board of directors of the Bay City Wheelmen met Monday night and elected the following officers: Judge Frank H. Kerrigan, president; Charles A. Elliott, vice-president; Horace P. Howard, secretary; Walter D. Sheldon, treasurer; Byron D. Bent, financial secretary. The road officers are: Captain, Sanford Plum- mer; first lientenant, George P. Caldwell; | second lieutenant, Gustav Rosburg. The following committees were appointed: House—F. H. Watters, A. J. Menne, W. H. Toevke; membership—B. D. Bent, H. P. Howard, 8. Plummer. _ Next Sundu{ a large number of the club membery will ride a century around the bay.

The Hartford of Connecticut came here for an assistant mnn;fer of its Western department and took Mr. Cofran from San Francisco, and now the Royal Exchange is taking another manager. A prominent manager remarked yesterday that if the other companies interested in Pacific Coast business would take away about thirty- five more locai managers and place them in Eastern offices it would relieve San Francisco of a number of prospective idle managers. This statement he explained by saying it was very generally accepted that there will be little or nothing left for support of costly offices after January 1, Outside of San Francisco competition in rates is even worse than ever, while in the City risks at cut rates are not solicited. In Los Angeles a few days ago the Lancashire Company sent postal-cards to all dwellings, offering policies of $1000 for three years for $3. Next day the Phmnix and Home companies mailed postals to the same three houses, offering a $1000 policy for vears for $2, which was 3314 per “cent ess than the other cut anda 82 per cent un- der regular rates. The Royal, Norwich Union, Queen and Royal Exchange, four companies which pool issues in the United States, are con- sidering a plan to make some changes. The two former corporations are managed on this coast by Rolla V. Watt, while the others were held by Robert Dickson. Mr. Watt explained yesterday that be expected to receive information on the subject in a lew days, but whatever the result may be it is sure to be satisfactory toall concerned. —————— The Gleaners’ Club. Dr. Cora A. Morse has set aside a large room in her residence at 621 O'Farrell sireet, to be nemed Ceres Hall and used as the home of the ““Gleaners’ Club,” an organization of workgirls for improvement socially and mentally. On Wednesday night Mrs. Morse dedicated the hell, and after her introductory remarks there followed an excellent literary programme. Paobock rate, and it is understood that all the other ‘Western roads are now agreed to this. It will be known within a few weeks. The excess-baggage rate on local lines is one cent a pound per mile per hundred pounds. A wheelman from Martinez would thus be taxed 36 cents, from San Jose 51 cents, from Napa 46 cents, from Santa Rosa 75 cents, and so on. If he ven- tured on the overland the rate would be different, be 12 per cent of the maximum cost of a first-class ticket. Taking a wheel from San Francisco to New York would thus cost about $950. That's the way things stand. “Something must be done,” said Mr. Goodman yesterday. ‘“Only recentiy our up train from San Jose was just an hour late. Investigetion showed tbat it had been held back to accommodate 120 wheels. Extra cars had to be put on to accommo- date them. Not long ago over 500 wheels and wheelmen crossed to Oakland and all the 500 bicycles had to be stacked up on the Seventh-street local. ;The yard engine had to be calied on and an extra car put on for the wheels. “I understana that many wheelmen favor our charging for caring for wheels, for they argue that then they will have to be protected and given more-care. “That is true, and we are now fignring on a device by whieh wheels can be fas- tened by clamps to the roof of a baggage- car, thus insuring their safety.” The New York Central is one strong op- ment to free transportation.

During July and August the daily receipts for wheels averaged $50, All of the New England roads charge for transportation. In France the railroads run regular cars equipped with racks for the free transfer of wheels, and there are cases in this coun- try in which the fares of the wheelmen are | considered suflicient inducement for free wheel service. The probability of damage to wheels in transit is verv small. This is evident from tie fact that there is mo record of any bicycle ever having been damaged in a New York Central baggage- car.
