16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1896. MORE FACTS ON THE ROAD TO ARIZONA! — S c — =l /e — 7 S — P A OF THE FAKE Long Green Lawrence Left in the Breach as the Man Who Procured the Selection of Wyatt Earp. Statements Made by Gibbs and Groom Flatly Contradicted by Editors Simpson and Bunker—Earp’s Appointment Was Privately Made Several Days Before the Fight. The part played by the Examiner’s man- ager in the recent prize-fight is in keeping with his attempt to blackmail in Sacra- mento. Every hour is developing new evidence adding strength to the suspicion to which his connection with the selection of Earp has given rise. If Mr. Hearst desires to be consistent he should, for this latest exploit, promote Lang Green to the —e e NEW TO-DAY. COMFORTING For Tired, Aching, Irritated Feetisa warm bath with CUTICURA SOAP and a gentle anointing with CUTI- CURA (ointment), the great skin cure. This treatment allays itching and frrie tation, soothes inflammation and, painful swellings of the joints, soft= ens hard. ronghened skin, and puri- fies the perspiration. vacancy caused by the emigration of Mr. Hawley, that of *‘publister.”” It would be as forcible a way of telling the public that Lawrence was authorized to collect cash in advance for the indorsement or the silence of the Monarch of the Fakers as was his promotion from the ranks of the reporters to the chair of the managing editor. It was learned last night that the hand- full of conspirators who arranged the plot whereby the betting public were awindled, had announced to their friends several days before the fight that Wyatt Earp would be the referee. It is also believed that Lynch, the managing editor for Mr. Sharkey, had some kind of an interest in the National Club on the night of the fight, for he stood at the door and kepta watchful eys on the tickets. On ore occasion Mr. Gibbs, one of the half dozen members of the club, desiring to passina friend, took the friend to Lynch and ex- plained that he was *‘one of the boys and all right”’ and Lynch gave him permis- sion toenter without a ticket. Lyncn’s reputation is very shadv. He came here with a lot of racehorses and called them the ‘‘Arizona Stable.” Earp was then in Arizona. Lynch’s methods of horseracing, while they might be popu- 1ar in Arizona, did not suit the manage- ment of the Ingleside track, and they ruled his horses off. On another occasion about two years ago some racehorses were poisoned at the Bay District track, and Lynch was sus- pected of knowing something about it. Fold throughout the world. Porrem Dxua & CLEx, CoRr., Props., Boston., The matter came up in court, but no re- sult was attained, He was also mixed up in some baseball deal, but they got on to his curves. Danny Needham fipured in a fight here two years ago and was’ knocked out by Boston Smith. When Danny: went the next day to the bank to collect a $3000 check payment was withheld. He had got the double cross. Long Green Lawrence, Gunfighter Earp, Arizona Staple Lynch and Danny Need- ham are birds of a similar feather. It is expected that they will fly together in the spring to more congenial climes. In their statement, by typewriter in the Examiner editorial-rooms, and presented for publication to THE CALL, according to orders received from Lawrence, J. J. Groom and J. D. Gibbs, mentioned that City Editor Simpson of the Chronicle had recommended the selection of Wyatt Earp as referee for the Sharkey-Fitzsimmons fight. Last evening Mr. Simpson, who had re- turned from the country, reiterated the | statement made by his representative, | Fred Stowell, the night before, to the effect that both Gibbs and Groom were consum- mate liars. “Inever interceded in behalf of Wyatt Earp as a referee or took part in any other way. The fellow is almost an unknown to me, excepting that I have read of him in the papers. I once met him, when we were introduced by Lieutenant Esola. That was simply a passing affair, which never would have lasted in my mind but for this false statement made by Gibbsand Groom. ““Whether Mr. Bunker of the Report had anything to do with selecting Wyatt Earp as referee I co not know, nor do I know whether Mr. Lawrence of the Examiner had anything to do with it. But what I doknow is that the use of my name or that of the Chronicle by Gibbs and Groom 1a this affair was unwarranted, misleading and positively false.” This prop falling from under the pretty story concocted by *‘Long Green'’ Law- rence, J. D. Gibbs'and J. J. Groom left Mr. Bunker of the Report to bear the brunt of public indignation against the people who bad anything to do with the naming of Wyait Earp as referee of the nt. %flr, Bunker met with a slight accident a few days ago and has been in seclusion at his home in the Bella Vista Hotel. He could not be seen yesterday, but his sen- timents were volcef{n his newspaper of fice by his city editor, Sutherlund. They were not ready to speak for Mr. Bunker, but they told their impression of what had occurred. Some time before the ficht Gibbs.in- formed Mr. Bunker that Wyatt Earp would be selected referee. This information was fiven prior to the time that the two principals had endeav- ored tocome to an understanding, Mr. Bunker, with a journalistic idea of being first in publishing the news and all that goes with it, immediately sent out to secure a photograph of Earp for reproduc- tion in his paper. Further than this Mr. Bunker had noth- ing to do with the selecting or 1mposing ot Wyatt Earp on the fighters, the club or the public as a referee. Bat, this very point, coming out of the Report’s end of this business, is probably one of the strongest that can be brought to prove collusion, fraud and the etceteras that go to make up the unhappy mixture. Gibbs was supposed to not decide upon any referee until Julian and Lynch re- tired from the field at noon on Wednes- day. Still, Gibbs was sure enough of his ground to name the man to the Report a day or more in adyance. As neither City Editor Sinipson of the Chronicle nor Editor Bunker of the Re- port have had anything to do with the naming of the referee, then but Long Green Lawrence remains. Strengthening his position in this matter, the manager of the Examiner has held Gibbs and Groom up and forced them into formulating a statement for publica- tion in THE CALL, exculpating him from blame. That statement has been shown as a lie from start to finish. The two gentlemen, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Bunker, who are mentioned in the document, have had no need to send emissaries around to show their position and honesty. It has been reported that Hearst has heard a good deal about the connection of his hirelings with the Fitzsimmons- Sharkey fiasco, and that he has sent word to have the whole disgraceful affair thor- oughly investigated. I iy EARP ATTACHED. He Guaranteed the Attorney’s Fees of Bunko-Steerers. Wyatt Earp, who gave the decision that robbed Bob Fitzsimmons of §10,000, was attached yesterday, a Sheriff's deputy taking possession of a couple ol race- horses that Earp claims are his. The claim is for $170 45 and is that of J. G. Swinnerton of Stockton, one of the best-known attorneys in the State. About a year ago three notorious confidence men—*Crooked Mouth’ Green. Smith and Brown—swindled Farmer Brack of Lodi out of $2000 on the gold-brick scheme. While they were in jail at Stockton, after being held in $30,000 bonds, Wyatt Earp, the. Examiner’s special writer, ap- eared on the scene and showed his riendship for the men_by making efforts to get them released. He engaged Judge Swinnerton to defend tne bunko-steerers, guaranteeing the attorney’s fee. When the men had been let off with exceedingly light sentences, considering the gravity of their crime, Earp disapveared and Judge Swinnerton never saw his mone: He has long waitzd for a chance to tie Earp up, and the opportunity is now offered. If it be proved the statement that Earp has an interest in the purse is ul-ue. an attachment will be placed on that also. g EXAMINER BULLDOZING. What Is Thought of the Monarch In Los Angeles Baseball Circles. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Dec. 7.—The part taken by persons prominent in the con- duct of the San Francisco Examiner in the disgraceful affair connected with the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey mill accentuates its tactics in its late prize amateur baseball contests, which finally resulted favorably for the Tufts-Iyons team here and brought the tropby and pennant to this city. The determination of the “‘Monarch” to prevent a winning by the Tufts-Lyons over the Alerts of Alameda and later the Monarchs of Nevada was so notorious and was pressed upon the local team 1n a man- ner so unfair and unjust as to call down upon its head the imprecation of every member of the team and tieir many friends south of Tehachapi. The bulldozing methods of the Exami- ner in arbitrarily ruling out the pitcher of the Los Angeles team after it had com- plied with the terms expressly stipulated by the Examiner management, was in the nature of the last straw. The ‘‘Monarch of the Kakers” did not stop there, but went out of 1ts way to villify those friends of the Tufts-Lyons team who went to San Francisco to witness the last two contests. Opprobrious epithets were applied tothem without the shadow of excuse, and when some of them applied to the city editor and asked for fair play thev were an- swered next day with additional insults. These things were related at a banquet given in honor of the winning team at the Saddle-Rock restaurant, conducted by John Brink on Spring street in this city, soon after the return of the victorious amatears, Mr. Brink himself came in for a share of the Examiner’s shameful ani- madversions. At ieast halfa dozen of those who spoke ‘‘roastea’” the ‘‘Monarch” in unsparing terms for its smallness and meanness in this affair. It is perfectly safe to predict that any person who heard the remarks of the speakers on the occa- sion referred to wil never touch any event run by the San Francisco Examiner, Stole Two Chees: Joseph Mehoncy was arrested yesterday rorning by Policeman . W. Coleman, in his room in the Acme House, on Market street, and taken to the City Prison, where he was booked for petty larceny. Abont 8 o’clock, two cheeses were stolen from in front of H. Lev1 & Co.’s store, on California street. Coleman got information that led him to suspect Mahoney, and when he went to his room the strong odor of cheese confirmed his suspicion. Coleman found the cheeses under the bed. ‘Warcurs, Diamonds,Jewelry, at greatly reduced prices; building to be removed. 5 and 7 Third st. STOCKTON STREET - 10 BE LIGATED An Improvefient Club Was Organized Last Even- ing. Modern Pavement acd Sidewalks to Be Laid as Soon as * Pcssible. Active Committees Created to Attend to the Preliminary Details of the Work. Stockton street has fallen into line in the march of improvement, and it is likely that by next Saturday.night the residenis of the north end of the city will be agree- ably surprised to see eleciric lights from Pacific to Green. The Stockton-street Improvement Club was organized last evening at 1404 Stockton street, and about eighty property-owners and merchants signed the roll. The movement was started several weeks ago by L. Kuttner, who has been hard at work ever since to accomplish his purpose. The first in the order of improvement was to get the street lighted, and to this end he secured the following signatures to the annexed agreement: NOVEMBER 25, 1896. We, the undersigned storekeepers, doing business on Stockton street, between Pacific and Green,do hereby subscribe our names and promise to pay our pro rate for a period of one year for seven arc Jamps to be placed one at each corner and one in the center of each block above described, the amount to be paid by each subscriber not to exceed fifty cents per week, to be paid weekly.

Sherwood, 12 Arm: strong, corner Vallejo. Mr. Kuttner called the meeting to order and stated that the projected club should consider the general improvement of the street as well as the lighting there- of. The blocks to be improved are the oldest in the City, but within the past vear or more many new buildings have been erected thereon and the citizens should keep pace with these advancements. The cobblestones on the street are old and worn out. A fine bituminous pavement should take their place. At present traffic seeks other thoroughfares. The sidewalks are not the best and pedestrians travel downtown on other streets to do their shopping. They should te kept on Stock- ton street. By lighting the biocks from Pacific to Green the benefit to the busi- ness of the street would be_increased in a remarkably short time. He hoped that by next gflturduy night the new c'ub would have the streets ifully lighted“as desired. Alfred Bear was chosen chairman, L. Kuttner secretary and J. Kitteman treas- urer. After those present had signed the club’s roll a committee consisting of Thomas Mullen, Jobn Wessel ana J. J. O’'Neil was appointed to see the other property-owners and storekeepers and se- cure their signatures to the movement for improvement. A committee consisting of J. Kuttner, J. E. Kitteman and J. was appointed to see the officers Merchants’ Assgciation and secure the aid of that body in getting a reduction on the price of street arc lights. 1t was decided to create an executive committee of the cluh to censist of the officers of the club, the committee with David Lowenstein and D. Donovan added. The executive committee was instructed to have the lights put on the street by next Saturday night if possible. The next meeting will oe called by the chairman. The Schubert Symphony Club. This evening, in the Association auditorium, Mason and Ellis streets, the concert by the Schubert Symphony Club and the lady quar- tetot Chicago will take place, and will doubt- less be a most enjovable occasion. This com- + pany has a very wide reputation and are as- sisted this season by Louis McPike, imyperson- ator, and Master Tommy Purceli, the child violinist. They have been making an axten- sive tour of the Paeific .Coast and their enter- tainments are spoken of in the highest terms. The Asscciation auditorium will no doubt be filled to-night. Reserved seats on sale at Sherman, Clay & % .- Children’s Emergency Home. An entertainment will be given to-morrow evening at Native Sons’ Hall for the benefit of the Children’s Emergency Home.
