16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1896. A GOLD TWENTY "ON THE SIDE" Deposit to Enlist the Inter- est of the Detective Force. THE TALE OF A WATCH. | Saloon - Keeper A. Hesse and ‘1 His Quiet Back Room. A DIAMOND CASE IN POINT. Allegations to the Effect That Detec- tives Bee and Harper Do Not Depend on Their Salaries. Harry Herbert, 8 young man living at | 412 Hyde street, had stolen from his table | at the head of his bed while he slept last Sunday night a gold watch and $18 in money. He reported the matter to the Police De- partment at once, but h received_nn in- | formation since then indicating in any way that steps have been taken looking to ‘ the recovery of the property, although he | gave information pointing to the culprit— | at least to a suspect. The watch in question was an heirloom that Mr. Herbert valued very greatly, and he was and is in great distress overits | loss. Mr. Herbert is a collector in the em- ploy of Madison & Burke. 1t is a part of his business to collect rent monthly from A. Hesse, who keeps a sa- | loon on Larkin street, at the corner of | Grove. On Monday he called upon Mr. | Hesse in his capacity as such collector, | and in conversation incidentally men- tioned to him his Joss, and the fact that he had already informed the police. “I will interest myself in the matter,” said Hesse. “Detectives Bee and Harper | are my personal friends. if I speak to them they will take more interest in it than if you, a total stranger, went to | them.” “I would be willing to pay something, if yvou think that would do any %’70& I want them to take an interest in the mat- ter and recover that watch if it is possi- ble,” said Herbert. *“I want the watch. 1 would be willing to put up $20, or even more, to recover it.”’ “Of course,’”’ said Hesse, “these officers do not work forlove. If you put up some money to make it a consideration they will take more interest in it than they otherwise would.” Herbert placed a $20 gold piece on the counter and Hesse put it away sayingthat | he would attend to the matter. That is the last Mr. Herbert has heard | of the matter. Without knowing to whom he was talk- ing, the saloon-keeper, Hesse, said to a| CaLL reporter last evening discussing the somewhat peculiar transaction: “Oh, yes, I have the $20 given to me by Herbert. Detectives Bee and Harper are my friends, and I have been trying to see them in his interests, but I learn they are out of town. Th will be home to- morrow, and I will lay this matter before them at once. I have had dealings of this kind with them before. “Why, sure, they are in this business for what they can make out of it. They know they can trust me. If they have anything of this kind to do tkey step into the back room and the business is trans- acted without anybody being tne wiser, for they are very timid ina thing of this kind—taking money for detective service. They are as leary about being found out in a transaction of that kind as a thiei would be at his trade. If they came in here this minute do you suppose I would say: ‘Hello, Bee, or ‘Hello, Harper'? Not much. And yet 1| have known and been on intimate terms with them for years. No, sir, I would address them as I would strangers. Butif I just made the sign, like this, they would understand and pass back into my private room, and would go away, perhaps, and return again. Oh, I have had little transactions of this kind with men higher in authority in the public de- partment than Bee or Harper.” Wholly without knowledge as to whom he. was -talking—talking to a man who had knowledge of the $20 transaction with Mr. Herbert and who had gone to see him to learn what further he might know along the same lines—Mr. Hesse rattled on in this voluble fashion. “A friend of ‘my wife lost some dia- monds,” he continued. “I saw her and advised her to engage Bee and Harper. She gave me $50 and I turned the money over to the detectives and in a couple of days they had recovered the diamonds. They will recover this watch all right. I'm certain of it.” “The detectivés don’t object to taking money—don’t get angry when you offer it to them. You know they are paid by the City for this work ?” The saloon-keeper laughed. *“Get angry? ‘Well, I should say not. They are not in this business for love. As I say nobody knows about it but myself and themselves. There never could be any row aboutir. They know that. They wouldn’t have any deal- ing of that kind with anybody that they don’t know perfectly well. They know they can trust me. They would not have NEW TO-DAY. i been match THE PRIZE KANSAS (ary By {he CUTICURA REMEDIES Our baby when three ‘wecks ld was badly at- ficted with Eczema.

Do you see? She gave the money to me; I gave it to them. So faras they were concerned they were not sup- posed to know where it came from. So it will be in this case of Herert."’ This much for Mr. Hesse. In justice to Mr. Herbert it should be said that heis very anxious to recover his watch—only that and nothing more. He wrote outa statement of the transaction in brief, ar‘ul by request made affidavit to it. He dis- ciaimed any desire to ‘‘queer” either Mr. Hesse or the detectives. On the contrary he wished them well. The saloon-keeper is his friend in a business way, and the de- tectives he desires shall be his friends to the end that they recover his watch. The $20 he has no feeling about—would give $50 more, he says, to gain the end— his watch. The following is the statement and affi- davit made by Mr. Herbert: Laf Sunday night, May 10, I returned home at412 Hyde street and went to bed at 11:45 or thereabouts, locking the door of my room and taking ont the key. A1 6:30 in the morning I awakened to go to my work &s an employe of Madison & Burke. For the first time I then noticed that $18— #10 in gold and $8 in silver—which I had laid on my night table, also my gold watch, were missing. Describing the watch, I say the case was N0.41,716, a Barrett & Sherwood movement No. 388 1 reported the case at police headquarters to Sergeant Co; He took the statement here made, and said he would give it over to the detectives. 1asked for Detective Whittaker, who was the Whittaker said he did Inot think it was a professional crook, | but that it was some one in the house who committed the theft. 1 then saw & saloon- keeper at 101 Larkin street, a saloon-keeper who sald: “I'm acquainted with Bee and Har- per, the detectives. If Ispesk to them myself they will take more interest in the case than if a stranger should come to them.”” “Will they do that for you?” I upon the saloon-keeper saying they would I told him I was willing to pay them $20 if they would, as I did not like to see them work for nothing. The saloon-keeper said: ked, and “Of course these officers are not doing this thing for love, and they expect something for what they do.” H. HERBERT. Subscrived and sworn to before me, this 13th day ot May, 1896. [SEA JUSTIN GATEs, Notary Public. Detectives Bee and Harper could not be seen last evening for the reason stated— that they were out of town OLYMPICS IN THE SWINL Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars Will Be Expended on Bathrooms. Fitzsimmons Will Turn the Champion- ship Over to Peter Jackson and Corbett Must Fight. The Olympic Ciub is making very ex- tensive improvements in its natatorial de- partment. Considerable of the coin which the club received from the boxing festival will be expended in renovating the bath- ing rooms and the apartments connected with the swimming tank. According to Director Short and other officials who are interested in the club’s welfare, the salt water has eaten into the leaden pipes connecting with the baths. The woodwork of the bathrooms has also suffered to a great extent from the same cause, and the directors concluded that something had to be done, and very quickly, too, to prevent further inroads from the salt water. Men are now at work putting in a con- crete floor and walls and when the work is completed the club will have bathrooms of which, for comfort, it can feel deservedly proud. Pives of brassor galvanized iron will replace the leaden pipes which have not, by any means, withstocd the inroads of the salt water. Considerable alterations will be made in the bathing departments. Instead of the two bathing floors, as at present, there will be but one floor when the contractors have completed their task of reconstruc- tion. In fact the Olympic bathing de- partment is undergoing a general reno- | vating, and the members can rest assured of having most comfortable bathing quarters when the task of renovating is completed. The club estimates that the cost of the improvements will amount to something like $2500. This guarantees the lovers of natatorial exercises comfort and pleasure for the future. Eddie Kolb, the crack wheelman of the Corinthian Yacht Club, will leave this City on Sunday morning on board his bike for the famous orange belt of Los Angeles. Kolb will be escorted as far as San Jose by several of the most prominent of the Corinthian scorchers. The cham- pion “flier,” Sam Morris, will head the procession. He will have as his assistants Pete Stone, Petey McLaren, Teddy Lun- stedt, A. J. Lyons and Lieutenant Stanley. Mr. Kolb will be gone from the City for several weeks, but he has promised his friends, who are legion, that he will ship them several boxes of oranges and fish when he “strikes’’ the orange groves and fishing banks. Billy Gallagher of Los Angeles, who has e§ by the National Club to fight Danny Needham, arrived yesterday and left immediately for his training quarters. Gallagher is looking splendid, and although he does not say much con- cerning his bout witk Needham he is nev- ertheless very confident of whipping his opzonent. ccording to the latest intelligence from the East, Bob Fitzsimmons is mak- ing }mzplmlions to visit England. A par- ticular friend of Lanky Bob, a resident of this City, received a letter from ‘‘the champion’” not very long ago, and it ter- minated thusly: “‘Yes, friend; Tam goine to London, and if Corbett persists in putting stumbling blocks in my way I will do with him as he has done 1o me.” If Peter Jackson is any- lhini like what he was when we last saw him in this country, I will turn over the championship to Peter. You know that Jackson has tried every means to get a return match with Corbett, but Artfal James has always avoided a second meet- ing with Gentleman Peter. Now, if Jack- son is in any kind of condition, I will transfer the title I hold to him, and Cor- bett must then fight Jackson or get off the earth. T had a letter from London not very long ago and the writer said that Jackson was not half as bad, physically, as the correspondents of American papers re- ported him tobe. Jackson can make a good fight yet, and 1 have every reason to believe that he will_punch the head off of Corbett if the two will ever meet. 1i Peter suffers defeat I will meet Corbett.” Merced Officers Jailed. MERCED, CaL., May 13.—Considerable excitement prevailsin this city on account of the killing of an unknown man by Deputy Sueriff Dowst and Constable Collins yesterday. The officers were on the trail of a burelar and thought they had found their man. They say that he fired at them and they shot in self-defense. Their statement cannot be proved because no weapon was found near the dead man and the fatal bulletentered his back, show- ing he was trying to escape at the time. Both officers are in jail awaiting the result of the inquest. CLIFTON 70 RUN FOR PARLIAMENT, The Scion of the English Nobility Departs for Home. CALLED BY HIS FATHER. His Giddy Life as a Member of San Francisco’s Fast Set. COSTLY GIFTS TO HIS FRIENDS. A Final Banquet to White-Hat Mc. Carty and a Coterie of Boon Companions. J. Talbot Clifton, the scion of 8 noble English fam: who has spent his time and income in San Francisco for a couple of years past, has left for England, pre- son, Joe McCarty, and a few chosen spirits, who drank success and a safe journey to their host until unbidden tears were generated and the affair broke up in a general crying match. His lordship was apparently touched by their sorrow, and to assuage it he arranged for a little surprise for them which he sgrung on the day of his departure. While the last farewells were being.said he banded father and son each a check for $1500, and to complete their joy the father became the possessor of the lease of the Maison Riche apartments, together with all the inagnificent furniture contained therein, while the son was made happy by the gift of Clifton’s four remaining horses and his coach and gigs. Before leaving Clifton announced his in- tention of going to Parliament and settling down ‘“at home” as a simple country squire, AGAINST CONVICT GOODS. Governor Budd Will Assist the Manu- facturers’ Association. A short time ago Secretary Mead and other members of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, requested Julian Sonntag to interview Governor Budd upon the subject of keeping goods made by convicts in Eastern prisons out of Cali- fornia, because of the unfair competition with manufacturers in this State. That it Was necessary to see the Governor was ap- parent when it became known that several State institutious are about to advertise for bids for supplies, and that a number of contractors who are known to handle Eastern convict-made goods are likely to bid_for the contracts. Mr. Sonntag went to Sacramento, but before he could see the executive he was recalled on private business. However, he wrote to Governor Budd a long letter set- ting forth the facts, and made the request that, in the contracts for furnishing sup- plies, a clause should be inserted forbid- ding the fortunate bidders from furnish- Hon. J. Talbot Clifton, the Heir to an English Title, Who Will Run for Parliament [From a character sketch by a “Cull” artist.] sumably never to return, and much is the sorrow of the ‘‘fancy’’ in consequence. Two or three years ago Clifton became involved in London in one of those esca- pades to which the gilded youth oi all countries are prone, and his father, who is one of the richest men in England, conceived the idea that a trip around the world would benefit his son’s health with- out hurting his morals, and started him out provided with a valet and almost un- limited funds. New York and Chicago were visited in their turn, but theircharms soon éxnlled on his lordship and he con- tinued to journey westward. 3 San Francisco, however, was different from the rest, and Clifton tarried. Weeks grew into months and months into years, and yet he failed to tempt the perils of the ocean, but seemingly became a fixture in gm gay sets of the City by the Golden ate. At first mammas with marriageabls daughters arranged exclusive little enter- tainments to which Clifton was invited and made the guest of honor, but as time wore on and his oddities became known, the in- vitations became fewer and his lordship was left to the tender mercies of the horse- men and sporting men with whom he spent the larger portion of his time. Clif- ton early developed a fondness for horses and soon established u racing stable, which, though it did not win many events, was evidently a great source of satisfac- tion to him, forhe spent the larger portion of his $5000 a month pocket money on it. Clifton had one curious fad that involved him in no end of trouble, He had a de- cided aversion to paying his bills oftener than once in five years unless compelled to do so by process of law, and as a conse- quence judgments and attachments were a common exXerience with him. He paid cheerfully and promptly when he desired to use whatever hngpeued to be in the Sheriff’s hands, but he never opened a bill that was mailed to him, Fora year past Clifton lived a career up and down ‘“‘the line” that will be remembered in sporting circles for generations to come, and spent at least $100,000 in twelve months. Whenever his allowance would not go around he drew a draft on his father that soon brought the needed funds, and again the wine flowed. Suddenly, however, came a summons from ‘“‘the gov'nor.” He had evidently heard of his son’s escapades in the City half around the globe, and the orders were peremptory to start for home at once. Clifton was heart-broken, as was his friend and boon companion, White-Hat McCarty, but his lordship knew that to disobey meant to lose his income, and that settled the matter. A final bout was ar- ranged and took place in Clifton’s magnifi- cent apartments at the Maison Riche a few evenings ago. . The guests were White-hat McoCarty, his ing any articles or goods made by convict labor; also, in bidding for supplies for these institutions, that a clause shall be inserted favoring California price and quality are as iavol from the East. He ho; that the Gov- ernor would inspect the specifications to this, and before they reached the State Printer’s hands. To this Governor Budd made the following reply, which was re- ceived yesterday: * SACRAMENTO, May 12, 1896. Julian Sonntag, Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, San Francisco—MY DEAR SIR: 1 regret greatly that I did not see you last “week. I fully ugree with the views set_forth in your “letter of the 5th inst. and am certain that the Prison Directors are of alike opinion and they will go as far in ;ggfl matter as the Attorney-General advises The law pending in Congress lating the sale of the products of convict hmlhon d be passed. It is sufficient for the prisons in each State to have lessened the cost of their main- tenance by the use of their own convict laber. Cnhlorflh has been for years the ‘‘dumpin, grourd” for the products of Eastern labor an the Prison Directors and the State officials have been consulting how to prevent the great injustice being continued. 1 think as far s the State can act a solution might be found in a law to be recommended to the next Legislature making it a crime to sell any article produced by convict labor unless such article be plainly and properly labeled. Free lebor is not and cannot be injured by the products of our comparatively few convict laborers working for the State, and to 1ift only the burden of their support from the tax- payers; but it is greatly injured by the im- ports from the Eastern prisons. Your: JAuEs H. BUDD, Gove —————————— FOR RUSSIAN RIVER. A Special Train, With Seats Reserved, to Run to Ukiah. There are thousands of people in this City who would enjoy getting away to the country on Sunday if they could feel as- sured of a quiet day’s outing. That was the idea that prompted Mr. Locke to get up a number of outings last year, and this season he will continu e them on the same lines. The first Sunday event occurs next Sun- day, the announcement for which appears among the amusement advertisements. It will be a special fast train to Ukiah, ltog— ping both ways at Pieta and ‘Hopland, giving trout anglers, sightseers, pedes- trians and cyclists an elegant opportunity for a fine day’s outing. One of the features of thé trip will be reserved seats in special coaches for all who get their tickets before going to the ferry, where only unreserved tickets will be sold, but even these insure a seat. Last evening the demand for seats began in earnest, batches of from four to twelve seats being taken by single applicants. The reserved- it 10P M. ey seat sale closes a P M. THE NORTH END 1S IN EARNEST, Enthusiastic Meeting to De- mand a Building on the 0ld Hall Site. THE STIRRING SPEECHES Resolutions Passed Asking the Supervisors to Begin Con- struction at Once, A PERMANENT ORGANIZATION Voters Will Fight All Those Who Oppose Them—Legal Measures Are Proposed. Over 200 property-owners, representing the North End district, met in Judge Joachimsen’s courtroom, new City Hall, last night to protest against the action of the Board' of Supervisors in postponing work on the new municipal building. It was an enthusiastic gathering, and if the offensive action as outlined is carried out many weeks will not elapse before the old City Hall site will be filled with work- men pushing to completion a structure authorized by the Legislature nearly two years ago. Supervisor King was present and though suffering from a severe cold managed to make one of his characteristic speeches. The meeting organized by electing per- manent officers as follows: President, John Shirley: first vice-president, Landry Babi! second vice-president, W. H. Bodfish; secretary, Robert E. McGregor; treasurer, Berry H. Lichtenstein. President Shirley addressed the meeting briefly, declaring "that the action of the Supervisors in delaying the construction | of the new building was unbusinesslike and shameful and a disgrace on the people of the North End. EugeneDuErey followed in a fiery speech, telling how the taxpayers. He said that certain in- fluences had stood in the way, but there was a legal remedy, if the people would only apply it. Attorney Foote advised the adoption of a plan which would make the politicians push the work. 3 He declared his ability to register 600 votes against any man who would dare vote against the speedy construction of the building. Judge Low. who was present by invita- tion, said that while he was not a'resident of the district he was heartily in sympathy with the movement. He declared that not only the immediate section but all San Francisco was injured by the delay. The secretary at this point introduced the following resoluiion, prepared by President Shirley, which was unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, There lies unoccupied and unim- proved, yet in readiness for improvement, a spacious lot of land, property of the City and County of San Francisco, situate in a céntral business quarter thereof, and known as ‘‘The 01d City Hall Site,” on the southeast corner of Kearuy and Washington streets; and,whereas, the construction of useful public buildings upon the same would be of incalculable bene- fit tq this municipality, and would greatly cn- hance the value of private property approxi- mate thereto, and tend to materially relieve the resident elements of this City, now soextremely distressed and hampered by rea- son of the inadequate demand for their serv- ices and their inability to obtain lucrative em- ployment; and whereas,there has been already appropriated an ample fund for the specific purpose of erecting said buildings and now available to that end; and whereas, the Board of Supervisors of this City and County at a regular session recently passed a resolution postpouing for many months all_action look- ing to and providing for the erection of appro- priate buildings upon said site; be it Resolved, Thatit is the unqualified opinion of the property-owners and citizens of San Francisco here assembled that said action of delay on the part of the Board of Supervisors was unwarranted and reprehensible; that it was adverse o the best interests of a large number of residents of this City and County, and that it tends, by unjust discrimination, to benefit the few ai a sacrifice of the best inter- ests of the many. It is further Resolved, the secretary of this assembly be and he is hereby instructed to forthwith prepare a petition” to be vresented at the proper time to the said Board of Superyisors and circulate the same for the signatures of residents and property-owners in that portion of this Cib{ and County known as the “North End”; said petition to set forth their griev- ances upon the subject-matter of these resolu- tions and to pray that said board review and revoke its latc resolution deferring said im- provements and that it adopt immediate and eflicient measures for the speedy construction of permanent and substantial buildings on said lot of land. Supervisor King was present, but could not talk much because of sickness. *‘T am too hoarse to speak,” he said, “but I will say that I have done all I could to get this through. I bave done more to get it erected—"’ “I would like to ask the gentleman,” in- terrupted President Shirley, “if he did not vote for the four months’ postpone- ment?”’ “Yes,”” answered the Supervisor, ‘‘but it was because I was opposed to Banks. It was for that I voted for postponement.’” King finally said that he was not par- ticularly tied to the plans of Shea & Shea, but was ready to vote for any good substi- tute if he thought it filled the bill. Secretary McGregor announced $215 collected to date and asked that a finance committee be appointed to audit the bills, the following gentlemen being named by the chair: %‘. 8. Burton, S8am Goldher§ and E, Geiselman. McGregor then offere a resolution, which was passed, that the organization be known as the *‘Old City Hall Site Improvement Association.’”” It was voted to secure a hall in Montgomery block, after which the meetiqs adjourned subject to the call of the president. It is the purpose of Secretary McGregor 1o prepare a hundred petitions, to be cir- culated throughout the northern district demanding that the Supervisors authorize work to commence at once. As soon as 5000 or 6000 names are secured, President Shirley, under authority given last nighs, will appoint a committee of five to visit the Supervisors and formally lay the mat- ter before them. 4 1f the petition is ignored, then it is pro- posed to resort to legal measures. A SOCIALIST MEETING, Arthur H. Sanborn Lectures on *‘Sci- ence as Applied to Society.’’ There was an audience of about 800 per- sons present last night at the Turk-street Temple to hear an address, under the aus- pices of Liberty Branch, Socialist Labor party, by Arthur H. Sanborn, an eminent writer and lecturer on miologg. The lecturer treated his subject in an | able and eloquent manner, describing the evolution of society from its primitive and barbsrous stage to iis present advanced state of civilization and progress. In conclusion, he claimed that socialism is at present recognized by all modern scientists as the harbinger of a better and more prosperous future for the human race.
