16 ' THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1896. JBSCONDED W A0 FOF A CO Henry Ryan Leaves Brown, Craig & Co. in the Lurch. 'WENT AWAY ON MONDAY Foresters of America Losers to the Tune of Five Hundred Doliars. ACME COURT FULLY PROTECTED The Defalcation Is a Genuine Surprise to His Many Friends—Wine and Women. Henry Ryan, solicitor for Brown, Craig & Co., general fire insurance agents, has disappeared, leaving behind him a short- 8ge of from $750 to $2000. In addition to this Ryan is also behind in his accounts with Acme Court, For- esters of America, of which order he is treasurer. The amount of the aefaication so far discovered is $500, but there is a general belief that the total will run much higher before the investigation is con- cluded. Acme OCourt, however, is safe from financial loss, because of an.ample bond furnished by the Pacific Surety Com- pany. It is the old story of wine and women with the cards left out. To the general public he was a modest, unassuming fel- low with all the virtues and none of the vices. In adddition to these outward traits of character the absconding treasurer and solicitor is half dead with consump- tion. Ryan is a married man with two children. Less than a year ago the couple separated, the wife going to her mother’s, the husband taking up his abode at 537 Minna street. It is then that he is sup- posed to have commeneed the double life which ended in a dual defalcation and a hasty departure for parts at present un- known. Ryan has been in the employ of Brown, Craig & Co. for three years, ana up toa few months ago was prompt in his returns. At that fime he bezan to fall behind in his collections, reporting to the office that the parties insured pleaded hard times and wanted an extension ranging from thirty to ninety days. As he had been connected with the firm in the capacity of a solicitor for more than two years, and had been previously prompt his settlements, Brown, Craig & Co. thought nothing strance of the re- quest. - From that time until two weeks ago he placed to his credit various small sums of money, accompanying each pay- ment with the statement that *‘so-and-so” desired an extension of time. the account ran up into the thousands, and last week Ryan was asked to make a full settlement. There was not the remotest suspicion at the time that the collector was short in his accounts, but as the amount was large the insurance people concluded that they must either have their premiums or the policies. Ryan was accordingly notified that he must either cancel the insurance or settle up. He promised to do the latter. Last Saturday the solicitor failed to show up, and the same thing occurred on Monday. Then his employers began to feel & trifle uneasy. The books were care- fully ‘gone over and a list made of every outstanding policy on which the premium had not been paid. Toone of the special men in the office was intrusted the duty of finding out just how Ryan stood with the insured and the firm in the matter of premiums not accounted for. The . investigations up to yesterday showed - that Brown, Craig & Co. were out of pocket at least $750, and the end.is not vet, for scores of people who have insured with the consumptive solicitor remain to be seen. The total shortage may run to $2000—possibly more. It was found that Ryan had coilected the premiums, giving the regular receipt for the same. “We cannot tell as yet the exact amount of the defalcation,” said Mr. Craig yester- day. “‘The amount so far discovered reaches exactly $750, but not nearly all the Keople insured by him have been seen. yan came to us two years ago well recom- mended. He furnished a personal bond at the time.. Up to a few months ago he set- tled regularly, and then he began to plead hard times. His past record was good, and corisequently we felt no hesitancy in iving him-all the latitude desired. I{ow fxe has abused this trust has already been told. Of course I am surprised—immeas- urably so. I don't think, however, that we conld be imposed on again.” Henry Ryan was past high chief of the Foresters of America. Eighteen montks 8go_he was elected ' treasurer of Acme Court, which office he filled to the satis- faction of his associates. When at the be- fiinning of the present year Henry Dona- ue “was elected chief” ranger.of Acmg Court ke insisted that all officers file a bond .with some surety company. Ryan with the others was accordingly bonded by the Pacific Surety Company, and now that institution will be called upon to make-good whatever loss Acme Court has sustained. “Iam_sorry this matter got out,” said Henry Donahte, chief ranger of Acme Court, last night, “but-in view of the fact ° thatit is public property there isno reason why 1 should not tell what I know. Last week I discovered that certain bills which should have been paid . by Ryan were still standing against the court. At the regu- lar’ meeting .on - Friday night: I called Ryan’s attention to this, and be promised to attend to it in a day or two. “The surety company was notified of Ryan’s’ snortage, and tne -next day they asked him 1o call.In reply to this request the now absent treasurer sent a letter say- ing that while it was true the bills had not been paid everything would be allright in EW TO-DA COVERED 'WITH mlwummrm%ulwmhnn sore eyes and ears, and from my ears a humor .

Isaw him last Monday, and was to have met him again, but he never showed up the next day. So far as we are able to learn, he disappeared Monday night. He secured about $500 from us, though the amount may run much higher when the investigation is completed. o ““It seems strange that Ryan would do such a thing. He enjoyed the confidence and respect of his associates, and if he had told them of his trouble$ 1 bave no doubt they would have come to his zescue. In fact, many have told me as much-in the last few days. I' can’t imagine how-he. the e of spent so mueh money, unless he had pri- | vate vices of which 'we know nothing. The statement is made that he carried a woman away Wwith him, but at present-I do not credit the story. In the nirst place, he is a physical wreck; and, in addition to this, he never gave any outward evidence of being a high fiyer.” In addition t0 soliciting insurarce for Brown, Craig & Co. and filling ‘the duties of treasurer of Acme Court |Ryan was pro- prietor of the Popular saloon on O'Farvell | Street. Last Monday he disposed of-this property and then' disappeared. So far the surety company has not been able to gain the slightest clue as to his where abouts. F It is said that his friends are making an effort in two cases. As yet no warrant lias been sworn out for his arrest. Ryan has not been at his home, 537 Minna street, since last Monday night.

The bicycle parade was one of the most interesting features of the day for wheel- men; as well as the big audience in gen- eral. It was scheduled for 3 o'clock, but |- the other events had consumed f0 much time ‘that it.was almost 4: o’clock before the wheelmen came into line. When, however, they did appear, it was- a-signal for prolonged.applause. The vari-colored decorations blended into one resplendent rainbow, and as the silent steeds passed the grand stand, the au- dience showed its appreciation -of ‘the pretty designs. P First came a line of singles, each decked with masses of cut flowers. Then followea tandems similarly adorned. The groups came:in line in brilliant array, and it. is probable thatnever before have snch elabo- rate' designs been seen i . any similar parade. - % S 4 Triplets and tandems were transformed into floral bowers, while groups of singles propelled houses, decorated with the floral Iuxuries of.the season. ; Bert Lund and Miss Mabel 8hoo guided a tandem, about which had been builta large ship.

The Minister Will Preach His Fare- well Sermon To-Morrow—The Opposition Meets. Now that Brown has been officially rele- | gated to the position of a layman the leaders of the opposition wWho really brought about his downfall think they have another duty to perform. They want to be well rid of :Deacons I. H. Morse, D. Gilbert bexter and Joseph Van- concellos, but the trouble is that they don’t just know how to go about it. “Deacon Morse,” said a leader of the op- position yesterday, “is mare objectionable than either Dexter or Vasconcellos, be- cause he is more active and more .capahle, and less susceptible of .the . ordinary qualms of conscience. Why, look at his rulings Wednesday night. If I might be allowed to use a vulgarism, I should say they were the ‘rockiest’ L ever heard of. But what is the use to talk about.it? We must get rid of Morse in some way.’’ Deacon Morse is certainly the Pooh-Bah of the First Congregational Church. He is a deacon, member of the board of trustees, treasurer, superintendent of the Sunday-school and chairman of several important committee. . With™ Deacons Morse and Dexter rests the matter ot ar- ranging for services until a new pastor can be secured. The opposition seems to think that these. two gentlemen will call on Brown from Sunday to Sunday for many months to come, and of .course Brown will have to be paid for his services, and the supposition is that -he will receive the proportionate part of $4000 a year for each sermon delivered. . The opposition neld a meeting in the Columbia building last night, to discuss this very thiag, and of course Morse came in for his share of criticism, the consensas of opinion being that the First Church would never be fully reunited ®o long as he had an official "existence. While no definite action was taken, it was deter- mined to look up the Congregational law. on the subject and see just, what could be done, if anything. Of course those pres- ent took occasion to congratulate each other over the outcome of their long and successful battle for the purity of the First Church. - i 5 2 Dr. Brown has given it out that he will reach his farewell sermon next Sundey; his would seem to mean that the retired pastor means to live up to his “resigna- tion " it letter and spirit. There are those who think, however, that if his lieu- tenants, Deacons Dexter and Morse, ask him to fill the pulpit he will not refuse. The opposition declares pusitively that if he adopts such a course the courts will be appealed to on the ground that he is no longer a minister. Dr. Brown as stated in THE CaLL of yes- terday has given up his house on Geary street with a view of spending a few months with friends. One report says that he is going to Sonoma County, and another to San Diego. Itis anenl’l’y be-. lieved, however, that he and his family will remain in the City. .

Tnis is. the most elaborate, large and costly model of the tabernacle ever con- structed. It follows minutely the descrip- tion of the tabernacle given in detail in Exodus, and each of the 1700 pieces is made. and fitted according to the direc- tions given for the original and as far as possible is made of the materials de- scribed. The result is a striking reproduction of the wonderfully rich and ingeniously con- structed combination of temple and tent, imposing, portable and peculiar in design, about which so much of -the history of the people of Israel clusters. Thé court, 100 cubits long, is shown sur- rounded by a wall of curtains ‘supported by elaborafe pillars held erect by ropes. In the court are the great altar for burnt offerings.and the laver. The front of the tabernacle shows great columns like those of a Greek temple and for the rest it is exteriorly like a great A tent, the cover- ings being of the rich materials described and fastened to the ground by stakes. ‘With the coverings removed the struc- ture containing the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies is seen to consist of two large rooms, with tent covering for its peaked roof, and to be made of large up- right boards, overiaid with gold, ingeni- ously locked together. In the model the boards are gilded, as are the altars the mercy seat and most of the other features and furnisbings of this structure. The hangings are of elaborately embroidered silk, purple and fine linen and of the other materials described in Exodus. " . Mr. Kelchner is as proud of ‘his creation as the children of Israel were of .theirs in the shadow of Sinai. It represents four years’ planning, several thousand dollars of expenseand the labor of thirty-six me- chanics for many weeks in Chicago. Mr.'Kelchner has” been able to get his proportions and plans all right, but the orpamental designs had to be left to the imagination, and that explains the strange presence of Corinthian capitalson columns that were reared some thousands of years before Corinth was.

He had received the certificate of his election as an hon- orary member, and he looked :upon it, he said, with great pleasure,’and was gratified to be considered a member of the Exempts’ Association. Mr. Dingee then passed the cigars around among the guests, and at the request of the committee, with the fire helmet on his head, walked to the street entrance, where the band played a few bars in an excellent strain, The :presentation to Mr. Dingee was made- because that gentleman had sub- scribed liberally toward the fund for pur- chasing the old band-engine.

The Women's Political Equality Club was represented by a prettily decorated hack driven by a colored jehu. It was decorated in yellow, eschscholtzias, mar- guerites and yellow satin. The ladies in the conveyance were the National presi- dent, Miss Susan B. Anthony; the State president, Mrs. A. A. Sergent; the county president, Mrs. Alice Stocker, and the city president, Mrs. 8. C. Borland. In the souvenir programme they were listed as No. 23 of class C, but when they ‘}zpelred on the ground they were given No. 35 of that class, which ‘was the first extra number and was not on the pro- * ) gramme. This fact greatly annoyed the duced a novel feature. His wheel ‘was radiant with blossoms, and from thé front of the handle-bars a floral rod extended, on which was perched a dozen snow-white doves. These were confined. with stream- ers of white and about the whole dainty sprays of ferns were entwined.

The Burlingame steeplechase created in- terest, though only three of the expected starters came up to the line. They were J. Talbot Chifton’s Jumping Jack, Smed- berg’s Lancer and McCreery’s Chance. The ponies, which were ridden by their owners, Sot off in a bunch, but at the quarter Clifton fell four lengths to the rear. This left Lancer and Chance the only two in the race. é On the homestretch the little ponies made neat jumps over the hurdles Smedberz had the fastest horse and after the last barrier was passed it was a walkover for him.

This afternoon is to mark a radical inno- vation in track and field contests. At Central Park grounds will be inaugurated some ideas never before associated with day. Many of the foclish traditions that are still hampering aspiring record-makers in other parts of the world are broken away from in one unprecedented burst, equaled only by the possibilities in flattering re- sults to. be obtained through the new system. The Pacific Coast may go on record as sanctioning records made on a down grade. The ardor -of the supporters of one athletic team has resulted in the cham- pionship games being hastily held nearly a month earlier than generally expected, and with an easy disregard of the hard- ship worked to individuals outside of the college teams that might have been in- tending to compete, but who could not with justice to themselves after being sud- denly deprived of tHe best partof their expected weeks of trainine. The new running track of mushroom growth has no cinders, the back stretch is undulating and the whole course is on an incline. The 100-yard straightaway, also of plain earth, has a fall of three feet. The run to the take-off for the jumps is shightly downhill, as is also the landing beyond. The - hammer-throws will made in a slightly downhill field. The shot-put may, from the lesser dist- ance coyered, be made under conditions that will permit of an authentic record. These things are what go to make the field day remarkable. But there is yet another departure from the foolish old customs that have been long chserved at champion- ship meets. This, according to the medals on exhibition, is to be a coast champion- ship in which there are other than scratch events. Nof bstanding all these innovations the several events may be just as well con- tested and as interesting to watch as they would be under standard conditions, and besides, the spectators may have the rather questionable satisfaction of think- ing that many records are being shattered. Peter MclIntyre, one of the pioneersof track athletic sports on this coast, laughed yesterday afternoon when asked if records could stand on such a track. He was superintending the superficial prepara. tions, for he is a recognized authorif having built the Olympic track and rec‘tfd work on the Stanford University oval. “No,” he said; “there are only threa tracks in this State at present where the championships might properly be held— - those of the universities aad the one at the o1 ymgic grounds. “I had been asked some time ago to superintend the building of a proper track at Sacramento for the championships on May 30, but justa few days sgo I heard that the meet was changed to Central Park. A track can’t be made in one day, and without cinders. This place couid be made all right, but they were in toe much of a hurry.” The following communication from the captain of the Stanford team speaks for itself . Editor Ccll: Stanford will not enter s team for the.ficld-day on May 2. This should be un- derstood in order to avold the unfalr inference that may be made after tive games that the re- centintercollegiata tie has been settled. - Four individuals have entered on their own account just t0show that therd is no i1l feeling, for we wish to aid the main purpose of the field-day, the possibility of Berkeley sending & team East. b We have never thought of the field-day on May 2 as anything but a benefit to Taise funds for that'trip. 3 - All our energies as a team were centered in the intercollegiate field-day that was to decide the college chlmPlonlhl , and when that was over the men did not feel that they could longer spare the time from thelr studies, par- ticularly as the end of the term was close at hand. This fiéld-day at Central Park cannot amount.. 10 much as & championship meet as grounds are not ' what they should be, and because the large athletic clubs have not entered teams. The: were taken by surprise; they expected the coast championships would be held on May 30, As it is, the day will amount simply to a con- test between ‘Berkeley's whole representation and a lot of under-trained men. s It seems that undue prominence has been given the event. It is also wrong to claim that the te: winning this field-dsy should by reason of that fact be hailed as the one best entitled to represent Celifornia in the Eas This might be true if the athletic clubs had had equal advantages and were considered in the race. GEORGE TOOMBS, - Captaln Stanford Track Toam. “Captain Gill of the Olympic team says that, with the expected time for training, his men could have taken a_third of the first places in the championship meet, but he acknowledges that in second and third places the colleges would have a complete advantage over the small Olympic entry. To substantiata his assertion he mentions the events and the athletes that might fairly have been counted on to win them. The mile walk would go easily to Yates when in_condition, as he is able to do the mile easily in 7 min. 30 sec. and less, a performance that Merwin of Berkeley cannot approach. The half mile and the uarter might go to the Coffin brothers; %en having in one field-day won both events in 2 min. 3-5 sec. and 51 1-5 sec. re- spectively— much better time than made by any other likely entries. Patterson, Berkeley’s _high-jumper of last year, but now an Olympic, holds the coast record for last year, made 5 feet 113{ inches in competition with the Olympic crowds. Lewis, a pole-vaulter, is_said to be good for 10 feet 6 inches and would stand an even chance with the best, Dole not excepted. Then thereis Frank Fos- ter, who has jumped 23 feet in a trial and in competition has a record of 22 feet 6 inches, something that has not been ap- proached by the collegians this year. Some of these men will enter tc-day, but not as properly trained competitors. CONGER SLIDING BUCKLE. It Gets an ex-County Official of Hum. boldt Into Trouble. s T.H.
