Murphy, one of the judges in the stand at the Ingleside track, 1s in receipt of a very lenethy telegram from Secretary J. K. Gwynn giving the St. Louis Association’s | side of the story. Arrangements have been made with Oakley, Latonia and Louisville whereby a conflict of dates for the running of important stake events will be avoided, and the tone of the dispatch would indicate that the association fears little troubie from the boycott. TEACHERS MAY BE PAID. San Francisco’s Share of School Money Larger Than Last Year. Amount of State Funds That Will Be Received by Each of the Counties. If the hopes and belief of the School De- partment go for anything the pay that was withneld from the schoolteachers of San Francisco during 1895 will be given them some time during the present year, prob- ably soon after July 1. The reason for this belief comes from the statement of the apportionment of school moneys which reached Auditor Broderick vesterday from the hands of Samuel T. Black, State Superintendent of Pubiic In- struction. The report is in part as follows: Total number of census children between 5 ana 17 years of age entitled to receive schoo money, 323,130; amount per child, $6 1 Amount apportioned, $1,897,249 50; amount unapportioned, $1670 75. The number of children who will benefit | by the apportionment, with the amount each county will receive, is given as fol- lows: Alameda, 28,15 20; San eruardino, 6120, Secretary Beanston of the Roard ducation, after comparing the fizures ith those of 1895, was very much pleased with the result. “Should the second installment of scuool money, which comes in July,” he said, “compare favorably with that of last vear the board will be in a position to the teachers their back salary and stil have money to spare. In January, 1895, we received $387,- 30, against §430,539 90 for this year. 1895, we received $229,106 50, so that 1 I ! | They a | of | | and daily los! WORKING IT WITH WOMEN, Fow the Poolroom Men Got Their News From the Track. ANOTHER SCHEME EXPOSED. The Downtown Houses Are Losing Money While Waiting for the Bay District Races. The downtown poolrooms are dying of inanition. Hope, that most comforting of the graces, stands alone between their closing up shop immeaiately and the opening of the Bay District track within a couple of weeks. They are not making a dollar; quite the contrary, they are losing money daily, ever since Edward Corrigan of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club leased the only wires leading from Ingleside track and con- tracted with the Western Union Telegraph Company so that no news over his wire | should be sent to City or foreign pool- rooms. Their expenses have been eating them up. They can stand this strain, however, for they have substantial capital, but the small fry have been obliged to ciose their rooms. The “Big Eight” are rejoicing over the fact that the Supervisors failed to pass the Wagner ordinance presented yesterday. In this they are joined by every horse- breeder and lover of square racing in this State, as the passage of such a drastic measure would eventually have closed up racetrack in California, the only State in which horses may compete in speed the year around. But it is not from this point of view that the remaining downtown poolsellers regard the c: In it they see that when the California Jockey Club’s meeting at the Bay District track reopens they will be able to et their news directly from the course and run their business as of old. There is no doubt in their minds that there be no_interference at the old track. Things will go on there as usual. The_book-makers' wheel, that gambling institution which the other track has barred out entirely, is to continue rumming on the old stand. It cleared $101,000 of the publi money in the last six months of steady racing before the Ingle- open| If that bread-and- inner is allowed to run_the down- ‘xoolmen know that the Bay District ials will permit them to get the neces- racing news by direct wire upon their paying the association $10 per room each day. There will be no necessity of stringing out a mile or more of telegraph wire to be shot down by Morse's detectives, no bicyclists will be needed to speed from the track to the nearesttelegraph or telephone atiox view the races outside the track. Every- hing will be plain sailing, because there isno officer of the California Jockey Club who has that objectionable, though earnest, fad of running horse-racing for the sport of the thing and not for gambling purposes. Hence the reason why the downtown poolrooms remain open still in the face of repeated arrests, general condemnation In the meantime the pool-sellers are not letting the grass grow under their feet. very frank and open in their declarations, and they will not allow themselves to be forced out of their busi- ness. They state that it is their belief v are conducting a legitimate business. They base their claim on the Wallace de- | cision that it is not against the law to con- duct a commission-house where money may be placed for investment at the race- track. This they claim they do. The po- lice and tbe lower courts dispute them in this, and the matter is now before the Su- verior Court. In speaking of the matter Jerry Driscoll says: “IT we are doing wrong we will quit, but if we are not doing wrong we will not be forced out. Why can’t they wait for the courts to decide before shooting down our private wire?”” The best proof that the poolmen are in | earnest is the new tack they tock yester- if we receive a like amount in the coming | July the department will 0,000 for 1896. he estimated expenditures for the present year are §610,000, leaying nearly $50,000 over and above exvenses. The back salaries now owing teachers aggre- gate $18,154 45, so that there will be plenty and to spare, provided, of course, that the second installment does not fall below that of 1895. We hope and believe that it will not, and that the long-delayed payments will be made before this year is out.’” be allowed ECHOES FROM THE PULPITS, THE ARMENTANS.

The wire which Morse’s men shot down Saturday night was useless to them so they again resorted to the bicycle-boy: The lads ana their ‘“‘bikes’” were stationed outside of the track waiting for the returns from confederates on the inside. When the first race was over th« inside man rushed out, handed one of the bicycle-boys a paper on which was written the first three horses, and away the wheelman sped to Twenty-ninth and Mission stree This worked all right and the news was promptly received down- town. ‘When the second race was finished affairs did not move along so smoothly. The guard at the gate was ‘‘on to’’ the work. When the inside man tried to get out he was stopped and the paper he carried was taken away from hin This was disconcerting, and another tack had to be taken. The rain was peliing down, and the guard knew that no ordinary purpose could induce any one to leave the track at the time. As he was cogitating upon this a (-hurming-lunfiinf young brunette, dressed in the height of fashion, walked up the covered passage-way to the gate. She was a bit nervous and wanted 10 get a messenger-boy. In her daintily gloved hand she bore an_envelope, which she passed to an outsider and smilingly re- turned to the track. The downtown poolmen got their second race “1’'m done,” Captain Callundan said as the woman stepped gracefully past him on “What will” those fellows do next?” It was but a few minutes later before an- other little woman wantd a messenger- boy. She was sure she would find one at | the gate. Captain Callundan, with his usual gal- lantry, directed the lady to the secretary’s office inside. But that wouldn't do. The woman became too nervous to hold the paper she had hidden in her silken muff. She knew she was suspected, and as the slip fell to the walk she began to cry. “I didn’t want to do it,” she sobbed. “I knew I couldn’t do it right.” The paper she dropped had written upen it the opening odds of the third race. They never reached the downtown poolmen. After that only the well-known patrons of the track, those the guard felt positive were not in with the poolrooms, were per- mitted to leave the track until twenty minuties after each race. This accounts for the long delays in the poolrooms. Only two races were paid off iesterday and the remaining ones must e paid off this morning. Superintendent Storror of the Postal Telegraph Company stated yesterday that he had no intention to prosecute the men who shot his company’s San Jose wire from its pole on Saturday afternoon. ‘‘At best I could only secure the convie- tion of some subordidate,” he said. *‘The only thing I wish is for them not to do it again, and I do not think they will. It is not an unusual thing for our wires to be cut by house-movers, and, during the sea- son, hay-derricks all over the country break down our wires. We simply fix them up immediately — that’s all.” We never attempt to prosecute the people. In this case I believe the thing was an acci- dent. If T knew it had been done mali- ciously it would be a different thing. We did not have anything to do with the stretching of the wire from Mission and Twenty-ninth streets to the track; that was the doings of private individuals, so far as I know.” Superintendent Jaynes of the Western , balloons will be useless whence fo | Union Telegraph Company likewise de- nied that his company had anything to do with the impromptu wire which the Morse detectives shot off the telegraph-poles. *We have no reason to place any more wires in that part of the country,” he said. *“We have a direct wire from the track, and that is all we require. “We do not ufe that wire, however, for any other purpose than is pleasing to the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, with whom we have made our arrangements not to fur- nish any track news to poolrooms.” The “Big Eight'’ have already made overtures to the authorities, asking that their business be permitted to continue upon payment of a high license. They claim that $500 a quarter would be paid willingly instead of the measly broker’s license of §4 which is exacted at this time. Should the Suvervisors place the license at $1000 a quarter and pass an ordinance that poolrooms could be conducted only in Faok alleys instead of on main thorough- fares, Harry Corbett, one of the leading voolmen, believes that half of the men in the business would subside. “The conducting of the four remaining rooms could then be carried on under po- lice surveillance,” he said, “and oaly grown men would be permitted to enter the place. v infraction of the regula- tions could be met with a revocation of the license. ” Gilbert Blodes, proprietor of the pool- rooms on Ellis street frequented by women, appeared again in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday, and at the request of his attorney a continuance was granted till to- morsow to enable him to prepare his de- fense. Judge Joachimsen, in commenting upon the cases in his court, said yesterday: “If the police really wanted to prosecute these cases of the pool- room proprietors vigorously they should have distributed them among the courts and not placed them all in this court. By that means the cases could have been heard simultaneously in the different courts and quickly disposed of. The delay does not rest with the court, but with the prosecution.” “Iv’s asad commentary on the law,’”’ said Posccuting Attorney Dare, *that the | action of Ed Corrigan has done more than | itto stop the action of these pool-sellers. | We have shown every desire to push the cases, but we have been retarded by the attorneys of the pool-sellers in asking for continuances on any pretext. The ordi- nance is clear and explicit, and there should be no trouble in enforcing it, and it should be enforced. “The ordinance applies to visitors as | well as proprietors, and every man or woman seen buying a ticket should be ar- rested. If this were done it would help materially in putting a stop to the busi- ness.” The police have seen the wisdom of Judge Joachimsen’s reasoning and yester- | day four warrants were swornoutin Judge Low's court. The warrants were given to the hands of Policemen Sylvester and Hyman and they arrested C. J. O’Donnell, W. J. Fitzgerald, William Ritemere and T. W. Lee, who have their poolrooms on Leidesdorff street. Each gave bail. This is the third time that O’Donnell has been arrested. The four pool-sellers were arrested last night and booked at the Califorria-street police station for violating sections 1 and 3 of order 2361. All, except O’Donneil, who was transferred to sthe Central Police station, were let out on $300 bail each. The persons arrested were employes. The poolroom folks also engaged in some great but wild guessing as to the prospect- 1ve riders of the different starters. In the opening race Garner was posted to ride Pollock, while Bob Isom piloted the colt. Cochran’s name figured to ride Pescador, while McHugh had the leg upon the one- eyved horse. Mollie R had Jones up, She was ridden in the race by Garner. In the second race I. Walker was | slated to ride Sam Leake, und he was a | 6 to5 chance. At the track he wass tol and was ridden in the race by J. Walker. And so throughout the different events there was a remarkable mixture of jockeys. In many instances imagination iailed, and no jockeys were posted. Yo El Rey, Rey del Bandidos, Installator, Mor- ven and several others proved puzzlers to the rooms. But the latest “‘blind” that is being worked and that flavors highly of Black Bart, Spike Hennessy and that ilk, is the proviso made in many of the races so and so to go. For instance, in the first race )'estcrd‘ny Empress of Norfolk was scratched. On the tickets of the downtown dens was written with each bet “Braw Scot and Empress of Norfolk to go.” Braw Scot won, but when the fortunate—or unfortunate— holder of a ticket on the grey horse pre- sentea his piece of pasteboard for pay- ment he was informed that the “Empress did not start and that his bet did not go.” This is highwuy robbery, pure and simple, and goes to show what desperate straits the proprietors of these pitfalls are getting ingin and what questionable tactics they are resorting to. Another dodge being worked- is the “‘commission game.” Yesterday one speculator placed $30 on a horse that proved successful in winning. Upon presentation of the ticket for pay- ment he was informed that they simply did a commission business and did not succeed in getting his money bet. On the other hand, had the horse lost there is not the slightest doubt but that the bank account of the ‘‘commission-house’’ would have been benefited to the extent of $30. But they are dying fast. On Friday last the room at San Jose closed, and yester- day the Sacramento poolroom went out of business. In this City it is said that yes- terday not over $500 was bet in the com- bined ‘‘joints.” There was a deathlike stillness hovering around them yesterday, and the few imbeciles that hang around them wore a look likened unto that of a pallbearer at the funeral of an old chum, Western Union Changes, Superintendent Frank Jaynes of the Western Union Telegraph Company yes- terday stated that the discharge of John McRobie as manager of the company in this City was not due to his having been connected with the poolroom returns ob- tafhed ill imately, but to other causes entirely. His successor is W.J. Martin, who for many years has been the efficient day chief of the operating-room. H. S. Converse, the present night chief, will fill the place made vacant by Mr. Martin’s promotion. The {;0"“ s of night chief and late night chief 1 be announced some time during the NEW TO-DAY.
