FAILED TO GET HIS ADDRESS. Artist John Stanton Is Mistaken for the Man Who Forged the Ne- vada Bank Check. “Foiled !” That’s what Captaln Lees thought Jast Tuesday nigzht, even if he didn’t say it. It appears that the captain, who isat the head of S8an Francisco's detective force, made the one great mistake that all great men are expected to make before they die. He ran across his Waterloo on board a | | | i | November, 1 | of the Library Marsh Ranch, was involved. James T. Sanford began a suit originally against the Savings and_Loan Society to redeem the property irom the mortgages of the so- ciety in May. 1892, The property had been mot ~d for $150,000, and subse- ly $70,000 was advanced by the so- to clear the tirles here and there to the propertv. An interiocutory decree in favor of the Sanford side was entered in and all Master Heacock had to do was to make an accounting. He finds that the net amount due to-the Savings and Loan Society is about $225 The gross amount was about §246.000. proprietorship of the “River Property was not considered at zll, as it did not en- ter into the case. Judge Heacock remom- meads that the property be turned over to Sanford on the payment of the mort- gage principal and interest, which he fixes at 10 per cent instead of 12 per cent. e LIBRARIANS MEET. They Gather at the Mercantile Library, Read Papers and Elect Oficers. "The There was an unexpectedly large at- tendence lastenizbt at the annual meeting sociation of Central Cali- fornia held at the Mercantile Librar; There were not only those immediate connected with the administration of Valencia-street car, which he had boarded | libraries present, but there were also a in front of the Palace Hotel. He had swung | large number who came because they were himself on the nind step with that profes- sional swing known only to first-class detec- tives and stood for a moment in the door- way secking for the dim contour of some great crimina! who micht be concealed in the car. His classic brow congested itself one fleeting moment and then the calm, serene expression of indifference spread itself graduaily up from the point of the captain’s whiskers to the apex of his frontal development. Turn down the lights. He had sjotted a crook. In one corner of the car sat a gentle- man warmly wrapped in the iolds of his chinchilla coat. His face bore that resizn.d expression which Captain Lees says is a sure sign, and his eves looked out through the opposite windew into the shop win- dows across the street, yet no glad smile camped on his face. S owly the great de- tective formed a plan of when it became full grown and able to vote, he fixed his eagle eye on the man in the coat and approached him with a firm and steady tread. “If you please. sir,” he began, “I would like your name and address.” “If you please, sir,” responded the man in the coat, ‘I don’t care to give them.” ::Do you know who [ am?"” “I am Captain Lees, the detective.” “Indeed? I never heard of you.” And the man in the coat settled back com- y and fixed his eyes again on the passing suop windows, while the captain bit . is toothpick in three pieces and dropped off at City Hall avenue, where he met an assistan belief that the Nevada Bank forzer was on board, and the said asstant Hawkshaw of the embryo variety was detailed to *‘go forth and find.” ampaign, and, | d to him expressed the | 1 { | i | | | The new bloodhound on the trail of | crime wafted himself into the car and sat nextto the man with the coat, who con- tinued to look out at the shopwindows for | some sizn-board showing where Captain Lees, the great detecti Finally the gentleman in the coat got off and, passing up the garden of the resi- | dence of John Stanton, left the paralyzed detective standing outside wondering how his chief got John Stanton, the artist, | mixed up with the man who lifted $20,000 | from the Nevada Bank sisted in thinking a chicchilla coat was the trademark of a check-raiser.

Judge M. Cooney presided. 0. A.

P. Hammond was informed that it would not be wise to fc Thirty-ninth A there cil did not approve of more than one dis- trict organization. It was decided to notify the v clubs to canvass their districts thoroughly to insure that each club should have as large a membership as possitle. The club then accepted the following delegates: ixth Assembly District—James Cur- lett, M.'W. Littlefield, Joscph S fourth Distriet—E. W.

Chairman Mooney closed the meeting with a spirited address as to the purposes of the council, which, he explained, was not for a_campaign, but for all time, and would, by affiliating with the clubs of out- side counties, soon form a strong, perma- nent organization, that would insure a Re- publican victory in the State whenever good men were put on the ticket. e LOS MEGANOS RANCHO.

Professor W, A, Merrill, the librarian at the University of Cali- fornia, related some of the odd and amus- i incidents that had occurred to his knowledge during the long period of his work at Berkeley. His puper, whicn labored under the title oi “Some Bib- liothecarial Experiences,” was highly ap- preciated. There was a brief intermission. The election of officers for the ensuing year was then taken up. - WHOLLY WITHOUT SOUL Attorney - General Fitzgerald’s Opinion of the Southern Pacific. . He Insists That the Directors of the Railroad Speak for the Cor- poration. The suit of the railroad company to en- join the Railroad Commissioners from re- ducing wheat and other rates is still pro- gressing before Judge McKenna of the United States Circuit Court. Thursday afternoon Attorney Herrin, forthe South- ern Pacific, terminated his argument in behalf of his end of the controversy on the side of the inadmissapility of the Congres- sional committtee's report opon the Pacific and aided roads. Mr. Herrin’s argument was taken up yesterday morning by H. 8. Foote, the United States District Attorney, who lines himself and the Government to the same notch made by Attorney Herrin and the railroads he represents, In other words, Mr. Foote, instead of making the present suit a triancular con- everybody expected it to Govenment filed 1ts inter- vention papers some ten days ago, has h the rail- road as azainst the Railroad Commission, providing be may doze away the tedious bours of the hearing and that Mr. Herrin will look out for their joint interests. Making a resume of the situation as it is now, the Railroad Commission stands asa deiendant against both the Umon States 1d the Southern Pacific Company. Tune Government claims that the com- nant or its scion—the Central Paci its debtor, and any action to reduce the eight rates of the latter might jeopardize any chance of a full liquidation of the obligation. Hence, through Attorney Foote, the Government is standing in with the railroad to prevent any such reduc- | tion. | by exther s:de in the contendir At rollcall 152 members answered I | i l | | | ‘The particular point which has been at sue for the past few days is clearly cut Herrin declares that when th onal committee investi ings of the railroad, and and the other directors of the cornoration testilied that the road’s building expense was more than it should have been by many hundreds of thousands of dollars, this testimony 8 0 the individual expression of opinion of these gentlemen Senator Stanford and not the voice of the corporation.

Likewise that the ra y performed such acts which were caleulated to jeopardize the interests in the Government's claim, and in the endeavor to gather evidence on these subjects, the Government caused a committee to visit this State, not to in- vestigate Messrs, Stanford, Crocker, Stubbs and othersjas individuals, but as the repre- sentatives of the railroad corporation. “How else could a corporation be inter- rogated ?"’ asked Attorney Fiizgerald. “It has no soul or physical existence. It is y through its directors that-it can be made subject to proper and legal interro- gation.” The case was continued until next Tues- on the by ex-Judge | day. WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. Supervisors Decide to Report Against the Petition of Sixtesnth-Street Property-Owners. The petition of certain property-owners to have Sixteenth street extended did not strike the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors favorably at the meeting yesterday, and an adverse report was de- cided upon. Mayor Sutro was onhand to take part in the debate against the proposed extension. He called attention to the fact that the same project was brought up several years ago, and had been adopted by the board. In consequence the City had gone toa great expense. Later the Legislature had passed an act which nullifiea the old street-extension law and disposed of this matrer, Judge Slack’s recent decision declaring the repealing act uncoustitutional had given the real estate speculators, who were the ones principally interested in the mat- ter, an opportunity to push their project, and they were taking this means of do- ing so. If the board decided to do the work it would lay the City lizble to pay the $71,000, which the unpaid expenses of the Six- teenth-street Commission amounted (o, 1«5 well as $300,000 or more to complete the vork. He advocated that an appeal from Judge Slack’s decision be taken to the Supreme Court. It was shown, however, that if the committee took no action beyond report- ing unfavorably upon the petition the bur den of the expense of forcing them and thus bringing up the whole matrer wouid d-volve upon the interested parties, and it as decided to let the matter rest where it is for the present. that the Govern- | FIGHTING FOR LOW RATES The Traffic Association’s Stand Against Competition From Portland. INFORMATION FOR MERCHANTS. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company Inimical to Local | Interests. The Traffic Association held a meeting yesterday at its office, 314 Pine street, and took a determined stand for the merchants of San Francisco in all dealings with Oregon and the Northwest as against the | opposition recently presented from Port- land, Or. The question of opposition lines along tbe northern coast was discussed by the association’s executive committee at con- siderable length and with much interest by every member present, and at the close a resolution was adovted to support the competing steamers which were operating in the interest of California shippers. ‘It was the unanimous sentiment of the association that the opwvosition lines on the coast now operating to north coast ports be supported,” Traftic Manager | Curtis stated at the close of the meeting, **We bave found that San Francisco merchants have been able to do a great deal of business in the Puget Sound and other northern ports through the medium of cheap rates offered by these lines, and | a motion to support them as much as pos- sible so that we mightsbe abie to maintain | our prestige up there was passed. | “The point was noted that the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company has | started the steamer South Coast to carry | freight from Portland, Or., to ports alony the ccast between that city and San Fran- cisco at $1 a ton. This draws business down the coast from Portland, and 1t is not viewed at all in a friendly light by the merchants of San Francisco. The ques- tion was informaily discussed at the meet- iny, and as the result of this consideration | 1 shall notify our merchants of the low | rates that can be secured by patronizing | the steamers Empire and Alice Dlnnchurs from San Francisco to Portland and other | north coast ports, and also the reduction | of rates consequent upon the combination | of these steamers’ rates with local railway | rates out of Portland to points in tbat | vicinity. The rate on the two vessels to | Portland is §1 a'ton, which with the local | reduced railway rates in Oregon makes a lower through rate to many important mterior points up there than the through | rate by water and rail of the Oregon Rail- | way aud Navigation Company to the same | 1ces. “The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company is viewed as not friendly to the | merchants of San Francisco: it is a Port- land concern, working altogether in the interests of that town.” | ““Then the Traffic Association isvirtually in a fight with the Oregon corporation ?” “That's what it means,” rephed Mr. Curt “We are fighting them on this question just as we would do battle with any other raiiway or transportation com- pany that did not treat San Francisco | fairly. And we are working in the in- | terests of the steamers Empire and Alice | Blanchard just as we have worked for the | Yiquina Bay route, which offered good inducements to San Francisco merchants | to ship their goods to Southern Oregon, | and through the medium of low rates ena- | bled our merchants.to transact a profitable | business in t. at territory. | “The question of the Panama route and its advance in freight rates was brought | up, but action was deferred pending the | receipt of infor: ation from the Pacific | Mail Company. We want to know what | the Mail Company will do with rates be- | fore we go into the matter thoroughly. | But we pronose to find a way onut of the | aifficulty when the time comes for action. So far we can see that practically the only solution of the problem is the clipper ship | route, which can very well handle the low- | class commodities that form the bulk of | the Pacific Mail steamers’ freight between | thus port and New York.” MILLING IN MINIATURE.
