32 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896. WILLIAMS HAD MONEY IN BANK, The Passhook ¢f the Ex- Inspector to Be In- troduced. LARGE DEPOSITS MADE The Accused Man Said to Have Accepted a Diamond From Little Pete. NUMBER OF CHINESE LANDED Nearly Sixteen Hundred Sought Ad- mission Here During the Last Fiscal Year. The landing of Chinese at the portof San Francisco during the fiscal year end- ing June 30 will probably cut an import- ant figure in the trial of Dick Williams, now in progress in the United States Dis- trict Court. While it is generally admitted that more natives of the Flowery Kingdom have come into this country than are legally entitled to such privilege, the magnitude of the business has never been iullyap- preciated. While there are none who are willing to say that Collector Wise is even remotely responsible for this condition of affairs, there are many who believe that he has relied too much on the honesty of those under him. During the tweive months ending June 30 no less than 2445 Celestials arrived at tne port of San Francisco from foreign countries. Of this number 861 simply passed through the United States en route to other countries. Of the remainder, 1337 males and 105 females were admitted, leaving a fraction over 6 per cent, or, tobe eXact, 102, wno were refused a landing. During this same period Commissioner Heacock heard only thirty-two habeas corpus cases, as against many times that number in years past. Since July 1, how- ever, the Commissioner’s business has shown a marked appreciation, seven cases being heard in July alone. Some weeks ago Collector Wise refused to give for publication the number of Chinese landed at this port for the period quoted above or for the year ceas- ing January 1, 1896. From unofficial sources the last was learned to be 1:18, and now from. Washington comes the figures already named. [t is understood that the Government proposes to introduce this evidence if such & thing is poseible. Not that they hope to implicate Williams in all the illegal | business that has been done, but simply to show that during his term in office more Chinese landed at this port than ever before. As a kind of clincher to this argument the prosecution will attempt to prove that within_sixty days of Williams going into office he opened & bank sccount which finally swelled well into the thousands. It is contended that when the ex-inspector Teceived his appointment he was a financial wreck and found it necessary to borrow $50, which sum he immediately placed on his back in the shape of a suit of clothes. Some weeks later Williams astonished and somewhat amazed his friends by ap- pearing on duty bedecked with a diamond stud, the rays of which out-glittered any- thing before displayed in Federal circles. This gem of nature, polished and re- splendent, was generally supposed to bea gift from that famous Chinese character known as *‘ Little Pete”—a fact which Williams never denied. Be that as it may, Williams had hardly gotten comfortabiy ensconced in office be fore he opened a bank account. His first deposit was $300, and this was followed regularly by other sums of money varving {from the amount named to $800.. The ac- count, however, was in the name of ** Mrs. R. 8. Wilhams,” and when it became necessary to draw any funds from the bank the wife acted as the go-between. Mrs. Williams made all deposits and signed all checks, that is until the recent suit for divorce was entered. In all something like $7800 was placed in the bank by Williams during bis official existence. The vrosecution claims to be able to prove that the ex-interpreter has also purchased property on the outside to the extent of probably $15,000. The prin- cipal contention of the Government is that this amount of property and money could not- have been legitimately obtainea during the short time Williams was in office. This position is strongly empha- sized when it is known thai the ex-in- spector received only $150 per month. There is one man, however, who does not take any stock in the claims set up by the prosecution. This is no less a person than Collector. Wise. He declared a few days ago that all such talk was nonsense. “Williams told me himself,” said the Collector, “‘that when he went into office he was worth $11,000. This had come to him through either his father or his grand- parents, I am not sure just which, I have 10 reason to doubt this statement, because 1 always found Williamsa capable and honest man. If he has done wrong then he should be punished, but I am inchined to think he is being persecuted.’’ In the meantime the Government is pushing its case for all there is in it. One of the strongest cards remains. to be layed. Itis nothing less than the bank- ok of Wilhams, showing that the de- posits followed close on the arrival of each steamer from the Orient. This may mean much or nothing, but the prosecution has an abiding faith in its effectiveness. BUCKIAN UST MOVE Health Officer Dr. A. S. Lovelace Suddeuly Changes His Mind. A Delegation of Voters Calls on ‘Him at the City Hall and Protests. 1 Within ten minutes after a delegation of voters bad visited the office of the Board of Health yesterday morning Health Officer Lovelace had experieneed a change of heart regarding A. E. Buckman’s grad- ing camp, that has been the cause of so much controversy of late, and the hopes of the contractor to remain unmolested in his present location went a-glimmeriag. On Friday evening, after the board had left the matter of deciding the fate of the camp entirely in his hands, Dr. Lovelace announced positively that he had visited the camp, had noted the efforts to make the place sanitary and fit for habitation, and was perfectly satisfied to allow Mr, Buckman to remain where he is, Yesterday morning at 10 o’clock he was still in the same frame of mind, but within an hour of that time a change had come over the spirit of his dream. Aroused by the publication in THE CALL of Dr. Lovelace's intention of allowing Buckman to maintain his camp a large number of property-owners called at the Health Office, and the Health Officer spent an exceedingly uncomfortable haif hour in their company. They called his attention to the pre- vious action of the board in condemning the camp and demanded that the measure be carried out. He was warned that they were voters and that the wrath of the neighborhood of the camp would fall on the board if Buckman was not forced to move. The last member of the delegation was hardly out of the office when the services of the office telephone were called into play and consultations with the various members of the board were held. The re- sult was that the following letter was dis- patched to Mr. Buckman during the after- noon: SaN FrANCIsco, Aug. 22, 1896. A. E. Buckman Esq., City.—DEAR SIR: At & meeting of the Board of Health, held on the 20th day of August, the matter of the ‘‘Buck- man camp” was referred to me. I have re- ported to the Board of Health thatIhave again thoroughly examined and inspected the camp. 1 fi‘:’ld that, while -considerable work in the way of cleaning up has been done and that you have promised to do any other work in the way of sanitary reform thatI may suggest, Iam still of the opinion that it would be im- possible to place the camp in a sanitary condi- tion and keep it 50, as long as the premises are occupied ana used for the purposes they are used noOw. I am instructed by the Board of Health to re- affirm their former order that the place be vacated and that this order be complied with within four days from the receipt of this no- tice. Respectiully yours, ARTHUR S. LOVELACE, M.D\, Health Officer. Mr. Buckman'’s answer had not been re- ceived at the Health Office up to closing hour. MME. SANS GERE ARRIVES Miss Kathryn Kidder and Com- pany Get Here From New York. The Talented Actress Talks of Her Conception of Sardou’s Napoleonic Play. Quite an array of dramatic talent came into town last evening with the ar- rival of Augustus Pitou’s “Madame Sans Gene'’ company, direct from New York, from which place the organization started last Monday afternoon. The star of the company is MissKathryn Kidder, who, in the face of al the compe- tition which necessarily makes “for Sar- dou’s plays, secured the English rights of “‘Madame Sans Gene’” and brought it out handsomely under the direction of Au« gustus Pitou. “I had always had ambitions beyond the stereotyped progress of an actress,”” said Miss Kidder, brightly. *I wanted to do something which would be different from the rest. Well, I saw ‘Madame Sans Gene’ in manuscript and was delighted, I saw—or imagined that I saw—a great success in it. - It was a French historical play and I intended taking it to a country where French is not spoken and where foreign history is not of paramount inter- est. But—well, you'll see.”” ““How about the translation,?’’ “Oh, that was very hara, indeed,”’ said Miss Kidder. “You would scarcely credit the difficulty of making a translation which should convey the ‘atmosphere’ of the French words. Translation after translation was tried and notably one b Clyde Fitch, which wouldn’t do at alK At last Mr. Meltzer, a New York journal- ist, made the one which we are using.” Kathryn Kidder has a felicitous name, and she is a woman of versatility. Had she not chosen the stage she might have filled the rostrum, for Mme. Sans Gene berself is no more ready of speech than she. Then, with her height, she need never have troubled to climb to the top of the ladder—she could simply reach up and take things off. Besides Miss Kidder, the organizatian which arrived last evening includes: | Augustus Cook, Harold Russell, Wallace Shaw, Willis Granger, James Cooper, Charles W. Stokes, Charles Plunkett, T. J. McGrane, W. H. Creighton, Frank Ab- bott, Charles Wilton, Frank J. Pierson, Frederick Webster, R. 8. Sutton, John R. Stevenson, Charles Smythe, James P. Deuel, Thomas Martin, Richard Malchien, George Brennan, Mark Ellsworth, Horace Vincent, Edward Howard, George Brown, Vincent Savage, James Allen, Florence Lincoln, - Catherine Campbell, Judith Muse, Louise Draper, Virginia Stoddard, Mary A. Houston, Fanny Bart, Dora Webb, Alice Watson, Annie Howard, Adelaide Plunkett, Christine Hill, Ruth Oliver. Three carloads of stage fittings came across the continent with the players. BACK FROM THE EAST, Rev. Anna Shaw’s Return From Her Lecturing Tour in the States. | | She Is Glad to Get Away From the Heat ‘and Resume Her Work in California. ‘The Rev. Anna Snaw arrived on Friday by the overland train after a most success- ful lecturing tour of nearly a month in the States. A little army of friends met her at the Sixteenth-street station in Oak- land, while the wharf on this side of the bay was the scepe of a most cordial demonstration. “I‘have been hard at work ever since I left here,” said she as soon as she could escape from the ,welcoming throng which pressed about her. “I have lectured at Chautanqua assemblies at Monona Lake, Wis.; Thornville ana Lakeside, Ohio; Lily Dale, N. Y.; Piazza Bluff and Perth Springs, Mo.; and Crystal Lake Park, Il Everywhere I was asked how the woman suffiage campaign was getting on in Cali- fornia. ““The hopes and prayers of hundredd® of thousands of women 1n the States seem to be bound up in California’s attitude upon the woman-suffrage 1ssue. Iam glad to get back out ot the heat, which made me suffer considerably during my trip. I cannot hope to get away from work, how- ever; but then, it 1s a pleasure to labor here in California, where press and people are more kindly disposed toward our cause than in any other place that I have visited. ‘‘Many people asked me what 1 thought of California, seeming to know very little about this garden spot of the Union. I told them all that California was paradise with woman suffrage left out.” Republican clubs throughout the State are taking much interest in the women suffrage plank in the party plat- form. A letter from far-north Shkgyou County notes the encouraging fact that at the Republican meetings in that section the ablest and most eloquent orators are making earnest appeals to voters, calling upon them to do their best to secure the passage of the proposed suffrage amend- ment to the State constitution. —————— Insolvent Debtors.

Defeats Jones in Clever Style at; the Central Park Meet. Fast Time and Close Finishes, Marred by Two Bad Falls, Were the Features. The largest crowd that has assembled at a cycle race meet in many a day congre- gated at the Central Park track yesterday afternoon, and were well repaid for the visit, for the racing was the fastest and most exeiting seen herein manv a day. The stands were packed with people, and, with their enthusiasm and the cheering influence of a six-piece band, which played one tune over and over again, the men rode with a vim and the finishes were close and exciting. George E. Dixon acted as snnouncer of results, and his witty remarks kept the spectators in a constant uproar. As an announcer he was an unqualified success. The drawing card of the programme was the match race at one mile, best two in three heats, between W. A. Terrill, Bay City Wheelmen, and Allen N. Jones, Olympic Club Wheelmen. Considerable betting had been indulged in between the members of the two ciubs, and the grounds were filled with admirers of the two riders. The first heat in the match race was the opening event on the programme. Jones won the toss-up for position and took the pole. Roma Dow of the Olympic Cyclers paced for the first two laps, and made it rather slow. J. E. Edwards, Olympic Wheelmen, made a pretty pick-up on the third lap and livened up the pace a bit, but it was never very fast. He dropped out on the fifth lap and left the champions to fight it out by themselves, and they did it with a will. Jones had the pole and kept it, and Jooked all the way a winner, but Terrill came fast and beat him out half a wheel's length. The time was 2:21 3-5. The second heat was even slower than the first, but more interesting. The men loafed for four laps, when Jones stole a march on his opponent and got a consid- erable lead before Terrill could get mov- ing. When he did, though, he came with a big rush and the two fought it out down the stretch. They crosséd the line abreast, and the judges declared it a dead heat, a decision which was applauded. The time was 2:31 1-5. The race was decided in the next heat, and Terrill Fmved himself the crack pro- fessional. of the coast to-day, though it is due to Jones to say that he putup a splen- did ride, and had'he had the pole the re- sult might have been different. The sorint was commenced at the end of the fifth lap, and for a sixth of a mile the men fought it out. 1t was by all means tbe best sport of the kind cycling devotees here have seen in many a day. Terrill led to the tape, and, ough Jones jumped again and again, he could not overtake him. Terrill won in 2:40 1-5 amid deafening applause, and was carried off the track on the shoulders of his delighted clubmates. The one-third of a mile scratch was run in six beats anda two semi-finals. There was a tumble in the last heat, and Languetin, Robinson and Welch went down, but escaped with a few bruises. The final was won by Percy Mott of Oakland, a Reliance Club_man, in clever style in 51 2-5 seconds, Kenna and Squires, Acme Club, finished second and third respect- ively, close up. & The one-mile handicap, professional, was run in two heats and a W and Davis, Oly mpics, ‘%!Il’llilhd in the first heat, and Hacry Ter Bay Uitys, made an easy win ot the second, beating Ed- wards and Whitman, Olympics. A bad_tumble occurred in the final. Dow sprinted a lap too soon and got quite a lead, and, thinking he had won the race, rode wide on the south baunk, crowding Terrill toward the rail. They collided and Dow was the sufferer, being thrown heavily to the track. This threw Terrill out of his stride and the sprint was left to Edwards and Davis, the latter winning in 2:42, The mile handicap, amateur, was de- cided in five preliminary heats and a final. Those who qualified in their heats wer C. D. Gooch, Reliance; W. J. Bell, Vi- salia; W. B. Plumb, Reliance; J. Hirsch, Sacramento, and P. A. Deacon, Reliance. Deacon won the final in good style in 2:31 2-5, closely pressed by Gooch and Hirsch. After the races J. 8. Brereton of the Re- liance Club tried for the five-mile unpaced amateur coast record. His time for the intermediate miles was 2:28 2-5, 5:05 1-5, 7:47 1-5, 10:29 2-5, 13:09 1-5. This establishes a coast record for the distance.
