He was kept only a very short time, as he assured the jurors that he was nota | partner of the firm of Hallinan & Co., his interest being that he had put a little money into it. | C. C. Bemis, who is not a pool manager, was the next witness called. He was in the room for a considerabie length of time. While he wonld not speak of what occurred inside or what he testified to, it 18 ascertained from other sources that he Wwas mentioned at the sessicn last Monday night as one who could give important information to the effect that overtures had been made to a certain pool-seller for money to use in the Board of Supervisors. _“Tt was like old times,” said Martin Kelly and Jack Dougherty, *“to see Jerry Driscoll 1in the hali.

He -en arrested twelve times, but has managed to sell pools continuously from the day that he started in the business the present time. He was lost to sight a long while. Dur- 2 his absence tha assembled pool-sellers thered in little knots and talked in low tes. Then the door of the jury: d and Mr. Corbett came out. He was still smiling, and_was at once sur- aded by a gronp of inquisitive friends, “Jack’ Gleason, of Hailinan & Co., street, was being summoned from ors. . Corbett lost no time in letting his us friends know the drift the gues- tioning had taken. “The whole thing wes 1 whether any money had been given or offered “to any Supervisor, directly or in- directly,” he said, “First they wanted to know if I had ever talked toany of the Supervisors about the downtowa pool- rooms. e “I told them I had. Then they wanted to know who these men were. i ] said they were Dimond and King. 1 told these gentlemen that I thought it would be unwise to close up the poolroms. We discussed the matter at length, and I eaid the business was a legitimate one and it would be better to put a big license, say $1000 a quarter, on each place, and in this way do away with the little bucketshops ihat were run by irresponsible parties. ‘“Then they wanted to know if anybody sver spoke to me about Pl ng the Super- visors money to secure favorablc legisla- jon. They asked if 1 had ever offered money to a Supervisor or had any person | offer money to anybody for a Supervisor. They also inguired whetber I had heerd of anybody offering mon 0 to protect the poolrooms. Of course I said ‘no’ every time, and that settled it.” Corbett said the questions were pro- pounded mainly by eventritt and Soun- tag, who wanted to know how he received his news from the racetrack. Questions of this character the witness declinea to answer on the ground that they concerned his private business affairs. Later Mr. Corbett said that the grand jurors; had questioned him with regard to | a month paid to General J. H. e He ' told Dickinson by the pool-sellers. them that it was paid to Dickinson to, secure that lawyer's logal services, and protested that none of it was to be em- ployed for the Bupervisors in any way whatever. “There were only five of us when we first retained General Dickinson,” he said. | “These five were myself, at 30 Ellis street; Levy & Co., 21 Kilis; Henry Schwartz, Leidesdorff; Brower, Fourth and Mission, and Henry Schwartz, back of the Report office on Leidesdorff. Later three more large poolrooms were opened by Kingsley, Jerry Driscoll and Hallinan & Co. Theze men joined us for protection, “The Grand Jury wanied to know if we bad raised money for any other vur- pose than to pay our lawyer and if I still oaid $100 a month as my share. Itold them ‘no’ to both questions. We had to oe defended.

H. McGlynn was asked all about the payment of money to General J. H. Dick- inson. He said it was paid for legal ser- The witness testified that he had no knowledge of payments to any member of the Board of Supervisors, He declined to tell the Grand Jury what the profits of his establishment were. G whose place of business is R s , said that he.did not give money to the Supervisors. When asked by the Grand Jury if he used the Western Union telegraph lines in getting messages from the rucetrack, he replied in the nega- tive. Other witnesses called were Charles | Kingsley, Ed Parrish, Grant Israel, Owen Thorn, W. J. Kearny, M. Levy. E. Savage, O'Donnell, Lawrence, Mitchell, Bafir, billips, Latter and Goldtree. J. C. Burdette, a lawyer, and J. G. Lang- don were witnesses on some subject not connected with the pool-selling inquir While the Grand Jury was receiving testimony on the inside the waiting sports in the anteroom kept the kel-in-the- slot telephone warm with inquiries as to events on the racecourse. The result of each race was promptly announced, and when the name of the winning horse was mentioned the assembled brokers knew whether their respective houses downtown were ahead or out on the reported events. 3. 0'Donnell, a recent acquisition to the sporting fraternity from Chicago via Mon- | tana, made one running that elicited ap- plause. He was lucky enough to get a message to his office by telephone without being called on by *‘Central” to drop a nickel in the slot. He is properly rated as the luckiest man that ever used the Grand Jury’s telephone. The Grand Jury adjourned until next Monday. During the session yesterday word was received that the joirt commit- tee of Supervisors had recommended the adoption of the Wagner ordinance. The information caused no surprise. The as- sembled pool-sellers commented on the recommendation. They expect the Mayor to veto the Wag- ner order, should it pass the board, and from their general expression of opinion on the subject they seem to understand | that the ordinance, if passed and approved, would be invalid, as it conflicts with a Siate law permitting pools to be sold | within a race inclosure. Members of the Grand Jury knew per- fectly well that General Dickinson has been gcting as the adviser of Supervisors. The fact was brought out in a recent inter- view published in Tuk CALL that General Dickinson pointed out to Supervisor Hughes the “weak places” in the pool or- dinance which the Grand Jury asked the | board to pass. VOTE OF THE SOLID FOUR. | | The Wagner Ordinance, Entirely Prohibiting Pool-Selling, Is Favored. | | Half ot the Solid Eight in the Board of Supervisors, with stolid faces that betok- | ened a cut-and-dried decision, struck a | blow at one of California’s great industries | vesterday, which. though it will probably avail them nothing, nevertheless placed them on record in the matter. The pool-selling ordinance, fathered by Saloon-keeper Wagner, a member of the Solid Eight, was before the joint Judiciary and Health and Police committees,whither it had been referred by the board jor con- | sideration. This order prohibits all pool- | selling within the limits of the City and | County of Ran Francisct, and if made an ordinance by the board will result in the closing of the new Ingleside track, upon which many hundreds of thousands of dol- lars bave aiready been spent. When Chairman Dimond called the mat- ter up there was a marked hesitance on the part of the committeemen to take the initiative in the matter, and there was silence for fuliv a minute. Finally Super- r Benjamin moved that it be reported favorablyto the board, Supervisor King seconding the motion. “I oppose the proposed ordinance on several grounds,” said Supervisor Dimond. *In the first place there is a State law that was passed by the Lezislature for the ben- efit of the racing at the State Fair that brings such matters under the jurisdiction of the State, and any ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors would conflict with that statute. We should be careful not to place ourselves in such a position. “In the second vlace, by passing such an order we would ruin the racing interests of the coast, and by so doing would strike a death-blow at the horse-raising indust which is worth millions to California. This industry has grown steadily for years, and now instead-of sending their horses sast for sale such raisers as H: others keep them here, for the d: equal to the supply. “The racing brings men of means and influence to this coust and they spend their money here.”’ Supervisor King, in a burst of virtuous indignation, exclaimed: *Who are these men that come here to attend the races? Gamblers, I think, and men who come for the sole purpose ot gambling.” Supervisor Spreckels interposed to say that the Dwyers and Lorillards could hardly be classed as gamblers, and that many men of their class were among the tourists who journey to California to attend the winter races. Supervisor Dimond the betting the racetracks would be profit- less, as the gate receipts alone would not pay more than one-third of the expenses of ‘the association, and that the amount received from the bookmakers for the privilege of carrving oun their business kept the track going, He called attention to the fact that the large amounts paid monthly to the track employes benefited the tradesmen about the track—in fact constituted almost the entire business. Sapervisor King attempted some sarcas- tic remarks about the interest taken in the ated that without through the racing, but was cut short by Supervi sonalities should not be allowed to enter the discussion. visor from the First District had opened the ball be might be asked whether his palpable fight in favor of the poolrooms might not lead to a belief that he had some interest in them. ‘‘That would cer- tainly expl your position 1n this mat- ter,” he said. Mr. King hastened to disclaim any such motion was called for. Supervisor Taylor offered as a substitute a motion to lay the matter over indefi- nitely. This was opposed by Supervisor King in_a speech breathing purity, fair- n and other things with which the Supervisor from the First has recenty be- come famihar, in every word. When the vote was taken the stony- faced four—Dunker, King, Morgenstern and Benjamin—voted against the substi- tute, its three supporters being Spreckels, Taylor and Dimond. Then the vote was takcu on the original motion, the Solid Four voting in favor of a favorable recommendation on the ordi- nance. Supervisor Spreckels stated that the passage of the ordinance would result in immediate litigation to have it decided illegal, as conflicting with the State laws, and said that he bad been informed by competent legal authority that there would be Lo difficulty in having it so de- clared. | "Phe next meeting of the board will quite obably be interesting, as two ordinanc one prohibiting pool-selling in the City and County of San Francisco except with- the inclosure of a etrack, and the in other entirely prohibit the sale of pools—both reported favorably by the Judicia and Health and Police joint to vrint.

THE MASS-MEETING TOQ-NIGHT | | Mayor Sutro Issues Another Ringing Address to the People to Eman. cipate Themselves. To-night popular sentiment ir regard to | the proposed funding bill desired by the railroad will be voiced at a mass-meeting | | to be held at Mctropoiitan Temple. The time has been considered ripe for a firm dectaration of will on the part of Cal- ifornia in regard to the proposed enact- | ment. In the last session of Congress the Reilly bill, though strongly backed by the corporation interested, was defeated | mainly through the timely expression of | TOASSIST THE CONVICTS, disfavor. Now Congress has met again and | it is asserted that there is an underhand | intention to rush a similarly obnoxious bill through the House before Christmas. | Itis to take immediate steps to prevent |any such sharp tactics that the mass- | meeting to-night has been called. Ttis | not definit=ly announced what practical measures will be taken, but it is supposed that a permanent committee will be ap- pointed to watch Congress at long range and, if necessary, send agents to check or checkmate hostile lobbying at Washing- ton. Possibly, too, means will be taken to start a California defense fund wherewith to fight the passage of the proposed bill. A large number of influential citizens the platiorm and there will be short ten- minute speeches by representative men. It 1s expected that there will be a large attendance of pubiic {urited men and women, who are opposed to the railroad being shown any discrimination over a poor man in regard to the liquidation of its debts. Mayor Sutro issued the following ad- dress last night, in which his views on the subject are clearly indicatea: To the People of San Francisco: When the first shot was fired at Fort Sumter, lika an electric | spark it reached every corner of our country. Collis P. Huntingt by his insolent manifesto, just addressed to Congress, in regerd to the passage of the fund- | ing biil for the debts of the Pacific Railroad. e sound of that gun has pervaded every art of the United States, but especially the | fic Coast and the Middle States. | “"Thisis the third session of Congress that an attempt is made to puss such & bill, it having been defeated 1n the last two sessions, Mr. Huntington's manifesto is on a commer- cial basis. He points out that it will be worth more dollars and cents to the Government to fund tneir indebtedness than to have it fore- closed. Shame upon the measure shonld y American people, if such & ss an American Congress. Shame upon the American Congress to per- ate such an iniquity. This is not a questionof dollars and cent: it is the question of the honor of the Americi people that these giant robbers, who have de- spoiled this Government out of everything on which they could lny their hands, should now have the brazen ass © to ask that their in- debieduness should practically be made a gift 10 the Isay it is a question of honor for Ameri- can people to let the law have its course in the case of & rich corporation as well as in that of a poor man.

Important Sub-Committees Appointed on Various Issues. Chairman Parsons of the permanent committee of ship-owners and others, or- ganized on Thursday to agitate the reduc- tion of port charges, yvesterday appointed the following important sub-committees: Plan of campaign—William M.

Unspecificd matters—Professor George David- son, J. N. Knowles, L. E. Thayer, Louis Saroni, David Rich. The Salvation -Army Will Take an Active Hand in the Matter. Employment to Be Found for Them in | Distant Cities—The Mayor Is Interested. : Captain Joseph McFee of the Salvation | Army has quietly begun work on a plan on which he has been pondering for months past, and has asked Mayor Sutro, who is a member of one of the important branches of the army, for his countenance and co operation. _The reclaiming of young men who, | through some sudden ‘em'pt.".tion or overt | act, have been convicted of crime and sent to prison, has been one of the pet projects | of the army for a long time, but thus far the results attained have not been entirely satisfacto:y. Now it is intended to go into the scheme on a more extensive scale ana makea mighty effort to evolve a plan that will be | successful and far-reaching. | In the past the trouble has been that ex- | convicts seemed to be branded in the com- | munities from which they were sent to prison. Discouraged and disheartened they drifted back into crime as the onlv | refuge ieft them, and were soon again in- | mates of San Quentin or Folsom. Captain Mecl'ee’s plan is to find employ- ment jor deserving ex-convicts in distant cities, where their chances of being con- fronted with their past lives will be min- | imized. By this means it is hoped to give | them new starts in life and snatch many brands from the burning. In unswer to a communication from Captain McFee Mayor Sutro yesterday mailed him the following letter: | My Dear Sir: Your proposal to assist newly discharged convicts has my beartiest commen- dation. It is charity in its best form, as it tends to | decrease the ranks of criminals, and thus saves | snciety two evils—heavy taxation and viola- tion of law. | Itis humane, as it inspires in the released convict & genuine seli-respect, and makes him feel that he is worthy of kinduess and human | sympathy. Very truly yours, ADOLPH SUTRO. H. M. Sheehy Will Marry Miss Riley. A COMSTOCK MINER'S QUEST. When They Marry They Will Go to Africa, Where Mr. Sheehy Is to . Get $7500 & Year. Among the arrivals at the Grand Hotel is Harry M. Sheeby, a medium-sized bronzed man, who has had odd experi- ences in many parts of the world. He has come now from the heights of | the Cordilleras, but in times past he has visited other remote and as strange parts of the globe, until his experience as a youth—has been as varied as that of any man of middle age in the West. Mr. Sheehy was engaged for many years on the Comstock. He is now going to South Afriea, at a salary of $7500 a year, to | take charge of properties in Sir Cecil Rhbodes’ great combination of bonanzas. On his way, however, he will stop off at his old home at Virginia City and meet his sweetheart, whom he has not seen for many years. The marri bells will ring out merrily, and then Mr. Sheehy and his bride wiil begin the long journey together to the rich reefs of the Dark Continent. The sturdy miner who has plied his pick in the ground with varying success in many different camps of the country has been pretty fortunate in South America. He has been for four years general super- intendent of the Andes Mining Company, eighty miles northeast of Lima, in Peru. efore he went there he mined, besides Colorado; the Toughnut, Contention and Tombstone in Arizona. the Minas Pretas and the Somktreti in Mexico. He also owned and worked for himself some mines in the Rocky Mountains, in the San Juan country. He had previously made considerable | lost what he had before gained. . Mr. Sheehy has been in Africa hitherto. He went there some seven years ago, but returned to take hold of propertieson this continent. In the Cordilleras he mined at the great height of 16,500 feet above. the level of the sea. for there was no time of the year that the | snow did not lie thick in the gorges among | the lofty peaks where the mines of the | Andes Company lay. atives of the famous Harry Meiggs, who, as a Napoleon of finance, cut such a re- | markable figure in the aifairs of San Fran- | | cisco, and later of Peru. The mines are | rich, so Mr. Sheehy says. They are de- | veloped by = tunnel 3400 ieet long. which | cuts the pay streak at the great depth of | 2100 feet. | They are only twelve degrees south of | the equator. Mr. Sheehy was inclined to | be very reticent in regard to his marriage. | From anotlier source, however, it was | learned that the sweetheart of the intrenid | miner was Miss Maggie Riley, a popular young woman of Virginia City, who has | been raised and educated there. |~ Mr. Sheehy expects to make his future | home in South africa. “I do not know yet, however,”’ he said, “whether I shall be located at Johannes- | burg, Salisbury or Bullawayo. The reef at | Johannesburg is sixty miles long. New lately by the | mines have been opened TRYING TO GET HIS BRIDE.

Manager J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific Company returned Thursday night from Sacramento, where he had been for two days investigating matters with a view to a more economical adm inistration of affairs in the shops located there. Asa result of his visit, there will be a consider- | able reduction_in the force there shortly. The reason assigned is that all the rolling stock is now in thorough repair. Manager Fillmore departed for Ogder yesterday afternoon in company with W. G. Curtis. They wiil meet General Man- | azer Kruttschnitt there, and the return | trip will be one of inspection. It is also reported that the forces employed in the, | roundhouses and repair-shops at Ogden Wadsworth, Carlin and West Oakland will be reduced. Driver Casey Exonerated. Driver Edward Casey was excnerated at the inguest, which was concluded yesterday, on the bieyclist, John McMenomy, from all biame. The brother, Nicholas, of the deceased, had in- formed the Coroner's office that he was sati fied that the colliding of Casey's buggy i olden Gate Park two Sundays ago with Menomy's bicyele was accidental, as the d | ceased was “ciitting circles nround the horses W. A. Samuels of 1 cott street testified also that it was not Casey’s fault.
