RONNING IN THE GANG. Another Member of the Sport- ing Life Fraternity Taken to Prison, The Pull They Once Held Now Seems to Be Gradually Forsaking Them. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL.) 908 Broadway, Aug. 18. § The Sporting Life gang is rapidiy being | broken up. This afternoon James Cruse, | amember of the gang, was arre:stea by Ofticer Con Keefe for insulting a women. The woman appeared at the city prison and complained that a drunken man had entered her house and insulted her. Keefe went after the man, whom he found to be Cruse. When he saw the officer he at- tempted to run and a hard stroggle took vlace belore the arrest was made, and Keefe found it necessary to use his club on his prisoner. This is the fifth member of the gang that has been arrested within a4 month and four of them have been hela to answer on a charce of burglary, while another felony charge still awaits them. A peculiarity attending the arrest of the gang is tue ease with which some of the members can procure bail, and this is at- tuted to the fact tuat they have some rong political friends. Cruse had no lifficulty in securing his release on re- lisble bond, and in this respect he is as lucky as Barchi Perata, who 1= also out on bai! on two charges of felony. Itis evident that the political power of | the gang 1s waning, as a lew days ago ¥rank Peraia, a brother of Barchi, was discharged from the Mint, where he had a good position. Another member of the xang named Keily was also cischarged rom the Mint a shiort time previous. —_———— HILL IN JETER'S HANDS, Budd Sends Word That Ho Has Shifted the Fespousibility of a Mission, OAKLAND, CAL., Aug. 18.—A message was received this afternoon from Secre- tary Shields of the Governor's office stat- ing that Governor Budd had requested Lieutenant-Governor Jeter to act for him in the case of the appeal of murderer Ben Hill. There are many reasons why the Governer prefers not to hearthe argument on this case personally, one of them being inat bis iriend W. W. Foote will probably appear as counsel on behaif of Hill.

CHTING OVER A DISPUTED RON City and County Officials Are Still Jealous of Ball Supremacy. | Captains Thomas and Ewing Send a Sarcastic Challenge and Acoceptance, All Kinds of Charges of Unfair Play| | | Players, { OAELAND UFFICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL, | 908 Broudway, Aug. 18. | | Last Ea ay’s ba ame only whette t | the sppetite of officials for championship | honors. Itdecided nothing, and left the palm of supremacy a more debatable quan- tity than it was betore. Everybody know that the score was juggled, that the runs were not fiirly counted and that the gume a tie. Every time city or county officials meet on the street there is a probabiiity of the Henry-Turin affair beinc repeated, and everybody is anxious to bave the import- ant question settled before a tragedy suc- ceeds the comedy. Harry Thomas, secretarv of the Board of Works, who is captain of the city base- ball team, forwarded a challenge to-day to Deputy County Clerk Cal Ewing, who is captain of the county team. | Amoneg other things Secrstary Thomas says: “As you know, at the end of the nine innings, the score was a tie; your team, however, claimed twenty-eight runs and only credited us with twenty-seven. Having consulted ail the baseball cranks in town, of whom there were 1500 present at the game, I find it is their unanimous conclusion that the debatable run shouid be credited to the city team. We offered to play another inning at thetime, but we understood that you all agreed to play it off on Saturday,;August 28. Permit me to call your attention to the fact thatin the last inning you changed the batting list, and that several unjust decisions were given against our team by the umnvire. We might have protested again on ac- coant of the fact tbat Frank Jordan is a ringer, having played professional ball twenty-eight years ago. You can easily see that there are a great many reasons why the tie should be played off, and I should be pleased to hear of definite ar- rangements for so doing.” Half an hour later Cal Ewlng had pre- pared his answer and sent it to the City Hall. He said in part: “If it were not for the fact that a return game might pro- dnce a few needed dollars for the Associ- ated Cnarities I am confident that the county officials would not again conde- scend to meet the squeal'ers from the City Hall a second time. An impartial critic who watched the game very carefully on behalf of the county, as we anticipated some dispute, says that the score should really bave been, county 29, city 1L Al- though we may appear ridiculous taking the field aeain against such a rank team ascame from the City Hall, still in the interests oi charity I think I can per:uade enough of the players to appear on the date mantioned to repeat the defeat which | we conscientiously believe we inflicted upon you last Saturday. Very cordially, Cal Ewing.” DOW WAS NOT CONSULTED. Police Commissioners Have a Lively | Bout Over the Appointment of a | Special Officer. OAKLAND, CaL, Aug. i8.—The meet- ing of the Board of Police Commissioners was enlivened this morning by an accusa- tion of “jamming,” made by President Dow when Chief of Police Lloyd recom- mended Harry L. Gilbert as a special officer to serve as asubstitute. The trouble began when President Dow asked il the own accord. Commissioner Clement responded that he recommended the gentleman. Cnief Lloya said, “I recoramend him heartily, because he is one of the best | men I have on the list.” Mr. Dow alone voted “no,” and then said: [t seems to me, gentlemen, that if the Chief is to recommend these men for | election he should be permitted to do so without being ‘iammed’ by members ot the board. I wasnot consultea in this matter, and it seems to have been all cut and dried. Mayor Thomas said: ~*Chlef Lloyd, have you been ‘jammed’ by any member of this boara ?” Lloyd—No, sir. After some explanations President Dow sald: 1 think if the Chief is to do the recom- | mending, if that is to be the rule, he | If he is to recom- mend at the request oi the members of the board I want to know it and willdoa iittle myself. I do not desire to reflact on Mr. Gilbert, who may be perfectly satis- factory as an officer, or upon Chief Lioyd.” Mayor Thomas—But you have cast re- flections upon the other members of this board, saying they have ‘‘jammed” the Chief, and I for one don’t propose to stand it, Even after being asked to make the vote unsnimous by Chiet Lloyd, President Dow insisted on liis negaiive vote. ———— Answer to Lrown’s Request.

But Mrs, Amador Is on Trial Charged With Shooting Through a Knothole OAkLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 408 Broadway, Aug. 18, | Frank Gallegos is confident that he has a bullet peregrinating around in the vi- cinity of his shoulders, The doctors de- clare that Gallegos is deceiving himseli, but he will not believe it and on the strength of a warrant which he swore out Mrs. Mary Amador was to-day placed on trial for attempting to murder him. There are many peculiar things in con- nection with this alleged attempt to kill Gallegos. The Gallegos and the Amadors are neighbor at Pleazanton, but there is nothing neighborly in their relationship. They bave been quarreling for years, and in order to prevent them making faces at | each other and otherwise causing annoy- ance a high fence hus been built between the two domains. In thisfence there are some knotholes, and Gallego« declares | that Mrs. Amador used one ol these knot- | h as a fort from which si:e could shoot him and be protected herself. There does not seem to be much hope of a conviction, for the evidence is partic- ularly corflicting. Gallegos fully believes that he is carrying the bullet around with him, and he exbibits a slight abrasion of the shoulder, which he savs marks the point of entrance of the missile. The doctors declare that no bullet ever went through that portion of the flesh and ridicule his statement. On the other hand, the defense has been unable to locate the bullet or to find one at all, consequently there is nothing to prove where it came from or where it went. Mrs, Amador asserts that she was in her house when she heard a shot, and that she looked out of the window immediately afterward to see who was using a weapon. Gallegos believes that she firea through the knothole and then went upstairs in her house to allay suspicion. Mrs, Ama- dor’s friends declare that Gallegos shot a hole through his coat and scratched bis shoulder for the purpose of having an ex- cuse to bring an accusation again<t his enemy. There are a great many witnesses to be examined, and tbe case is being bit- terly foughnt. WAR IN THE MiLITIA, Conteit to Be Made Over the Election of tobbledick, OAKLAND, CaL.,, Aug 18.—Lieutenant Cobbledick will not receivs his third com- mission as such from regimental head- quarters without a hard-fought battle if certain members of Company F carry out the threats they have openly made. If the facts given publicity to-day are true it is almost certain that there will be an- otbher election before the matter is finally settled. The State law provides that all names of candidates applying for membership in the National Guard shall be read before the company and posted on the builetin- board for a week beiore being voted upon. In the case of ex-members, if not more than five black bails are cast, they shall be declared clected to membership. Some time ago Company F passed a res- olution which enabled all ex-members of the Guard to be voted in by & two-thirds vote upon the night their names were pro- posed. Under this resolution over thirty men secured membership in the company. But when Lieutenant Wenk was elected captain he suspended the rule, declaring it to be invalid owing 10 the State law, which prescribed the mode of procedure in such cases. With this ruling of the captain and the law at their Lacks several members pro- pose to file a contest at regimental head- quarters before the new commission is signed and delivered in the hope that they may susvend the members who elected Cobbleaick. It will at least bring out a point of law for military authorities to discuss. SOHOOL MATTERS. Teachers Must Not Do Politici—A New High School Building Needed, ALAMEDA, CAn, Aug. 18.—At the meeting of tiie Board of Education last evening the following resolution was unanimously adopted: No employe of the Schiool Department of the city of Alameda shall ake an active part in the municipal volitics of said city in which the eiection of members of the Board of Edu- tion shali be concerned. Any employe of the Schoo! Department violating this rule_snall be subject to summary aismissal by the Board of Education. This was adoptol, not because any teachers had been offending, but rather as a precautionary measure. The Superintendent reported that the present registration of pupils was the iargest ever made in this city, and that there was urgent need for enlarged school facilities. Thisis especially the case at the Haight School, which also accommo- dates the High School. It is suggested that this buiiding can be cut in two and the ends moved so as to face Railroad avenue, and the ¢ ntral space be occupied by a building solely for High School pur- voses. It is estimated' that this can be done for $50,000, and that bonds could be voted for the purpose. 1t was conceded that the need was urgent. That High Hat Ordinance, OAKLAND, Can, Aug. 18.—Miss Mackin, a member ot Qak Leaf Chapter, Order of Ea<tern Star, has been arrested jor a violation of the high hat ordinance recently passed by the City Council.

BEHKELEY, CAu, Auz. 18.—The Rev. G. L. Chaneyv has deciined the call ex- tended to him by the Unitarians of Berke- ley. The Berkeley cburch is without a pastor, but services will be resumed next month with a temporary supply. DOUBTED DEEDS SEEN BY COLLEN A Long Looked For Wit- ness Appears in the Fair-Craven Trial, He Says the Lady Exhibited the Documents While in Sacramento, Mrs. Sarah Johnson Also Tells of a Midnight Glimpse of Them at the Colonial, Two more of the defense's stalwarts— witnesses upon whom Mrs. Nettie Craven places most reliance in attempting to prove the validity of the deeds she says Senator Fair gave ber shortly before his death—were placed upon the stand yes- terday and told their stories. Others were called, too, but they were lost in the shadow of insignificance when compared with these two, who, by the way, were the long-looked-for James T. Cullen, and the wholly unexpected Mrs. Sarah 1. Johnson, proprietress of the Colonial Hotel. The nature of Cullen’s evidence was foreshadowed when Mrs, Craven first told the story of huw she came into possession of the disputed deeds. She said that one oi the first persons she ever told about having the deeds was this same Cullen— hat was while the Legislatnre was in session early in 189%5—and now Cullen comes forward to vouch for the truth of the statement. Cullen began his narrative under the questioning oi Atiorney Delmas, by say- ing that he bad Lived for thirty-iwo vears in this City and was et present in the em- ploy of the Harbor Commission. He was shown the disputed deeds and said he presumed they were the same documents Mrs. Craven showed him at the Golden Eagle Hotel in Sacramento either in Jan- uary or February, 1895, This was the big point the defense wished to prove, and as soon as the wit- ness said it was a fact he was turned over to Attorney Mitchell of the p'aintiffs’ line for cross-examination. Mr. Mitchell went at Cullen with a determination to punch all kinds of holes in the fabric. The only matter he considered of importance which he elicited from the witness was an ad- mission that it was Martin Kelly who first asked him to be a wi'ness for Mrs, Craven. Cullen said he was certain that tbe deeds were acknowleaged when he first saw them, Cullen said in answer to Mr. Delmas, on redirect examination, that his appoint- ment to the place under the Harbor Com- mission was the direct result of a request made by Governor Budd upon Chairman Colnon of that body. Kelly had nothing to do with it. Tue witness called upon the executive in Sacramento and ssied Lim for & place. Governor Budd said he would fix1tin a day or two and kept his word. Cullen was shown & piece of paper and he identified it as a statement he had written for Mrs. Craven in June, 1896, and said it contained a resume of the matters he could tes ify to. The statement was offered in evidence by Mr. Delmas and was admitted. Cullen was then excused from the stand and Mr. Deimas offered in evidence the legal documents by which Charles L. Fair sought to contest his father’s “‘trust” will in June, 1895. His object, he said, was to show an admission on the part of the heir that the now disputed ‘“‘pencil” will was the real and genuine last testament of 1he deceased millionaire. All of the Fair children and taeir attorneys, declared Delmas, acquiesced in the filing of this con- test and he considered the fauct a strong point in favor of the present defense of the “‘pencil” will and deeds. Attorney Wheeler of the plaintiffs’ side was called to the stand by the defense and asked to idenufy the contest papers and confirm the fact that there was a contest. Mr. McEnerney offered a formal objec- tion to the presentation of the evidence and both sides prepared for a tig argu- ment. Judge Siack headed them off, however, by asking that they all submit to him their respective authorities and postpone the oratory to some other day. The :ame ruling greetea the offer to identify the “penci” will and use it a weapon against the plaintiffs. Judge M. Cooney, father of J. J. Cooney, the notary who says he acknowiedged the Craven deeds, was now called. He merely recognized the handwriting of his son on the certificates and was told he could go. Attorney George R. Williams, who has been one of the :iient partnersin the de- fense'’s line ever since Mrs. Craven asserted her claims against the Fair estate, was sworn. He said that during the greater part of the summer of 1846 the disputed deeds were in his possession —lccked up in his box at the safe deposit. Stephen Roberts put the dcciments into his hands for safe keeping. The witnevs said that on the 3d, 9th and 15th of July the deeds were securely tocked up in the vaults and that neither Mrs. Craven or anybody else saw them. T e import of this evidence was that it directly contradicted the testimony of John R. Aitken, namely, that Mrs. Cra- ven hed shown him the deeds on the dates named. On cross-cxamination Judge Williams said he had a contingent interest in Mrs. Craven’s chances to recover in this su He and Mr. Roberts entered into a con- tract about a year and a half ago by whicb the witness was to receive as his reward one-twentieth of what the defendant re- covered. “When did youn first see those deeds?” asked Mr. Wheeler. “I think it was on June 11, 1896 Mr. Roberts brought them to my office and showed them to me.” ““What became of them after that?” “We took them to the office of J. J. Cooney, the notary who bhad acknowl- edged them.” Judge Wiiliams said that Mr. Roberts turned the deeds over to him on July 3, 1896 He remembered the date because Roberts left for Mono County the follow- ing day. He received a letter from Rob- erts during vhe latter’s absence and read- ily produced it in court when asked for it. Williams would not swear postively that the deeds were not tuken out of the safe deposit on July 9 and given to Attor- ney Brittain to be photographed, but he felt quite certain that such was not the case. Mrs. Sarah T. Johnson, proprietress of the Colonial Hotel, was cailed. She said she had known Mrs. Craven for twenty years. *Did you see Mrs. Craven in the month of December, 1894, and did you see two deeds?" asked Delmas. *Yes, sir.” Asked to state the circumstances, Mrs. Johnson said that the occurrence took place_on one night when they were retir- ing. Mrs. Craven was undressing and took the two deedsx from her bosom. She showed them to the witness, but did not give them into her hands. There was an argument as to whether or not Mrs. Johnson could testify as to what was said by Mrs. Craven and herself, and this closed the day's session. The court took the point under advisement. SOLD HOFFHMAN THE REVOLVER Figel Told That His Em- ployer Had Purchased the Pistol. Detective Seymour Recounts His Conversation With the Defendant. James Maloney Saw Two Men Argu- ing at the Store the Night of June 1 Detective John Seymour was the first witness called in the Figel examination yesterday. He testified that he saw Figel at the office of the Chief of Police on the morning of June 2, and recounied the conversation be had with the detendant at that time. He said: * my opinion of the case was. I told him I had not been at the inquest and hasa formed no opinion. I usked him if he knew who owned the pistol found in Hoffman's office. He replied that he had owned it up to about a week before that Hoffman had said he wanted to buy a re- volver, and he took it out of his desk and sold it to Hoffman for $5.” Ach asked: *Did you have the pistol with youat the time?”’ “No, I did not.” “Do you know how Figel knew what pistol was found in Hoffman’s office ?” “Ido not.” he and a number of detectives had stood in a tine with Figel and J. G. Maloney nad pointed out the defendant as the man night of the shooting. This testimony was objected toand the court said that it was not admissible General Barnes started to argue his objec tion and Judge Campbell said: “1 am with you so far, General. I see by tne papers you nearly fainted when I ruled with you yesterday.” Barnes replied: caunse. This evidence is outrageous. These detectives were ranged up like a row of burrs on astick. A man wouid be next door to an 1diot who couldn’t pick a gentleman out of a crowd of detective officers.” Judge Murphy argued that it wascom- petent to show the conduct and demeanor of the defendant when under accusation, and the court overruled the objsction. The witness continued and said that Maloney had said: “That looks like the man I saw in front of Hoffman’s.” thing. : On cross-examination he said Figel had been perfectly open in his statements in was too small. Figel also told him that he had bought another pistol on the night Hoffman was shoi.. He put this in a valise whica he left at a saloon. He then returned to the stora tcr a bottle of ink. He met Hofiman there, spoke with 6:30 San Rafael boat. Mr. Seymour fre- quently saw Figel at the office of tha Chief of Police after this. Frank B. McDonald, a clerk in the safe his vault at 5:46 on the evening of June 1. Under cross-examination ne said he had not opened the box with Figel, but it was another clerk. William J. J. Shaw, the dcorkeeper of the City Prison, stated that he had re- ceived the property taken from Hoffman’s it over to Captain Moran at 9 o’clock the morning of June 2. In examining Oflicer Shaw Attorney Ach asked a number of leading questions. General Barnes objected. Mr. Ach re- plied that he had aiready stated that he provosed to ask all the officers of the po- lice force leading questions, and that General Barnes shouid not object. William J. Bacon, a letter-carrier, testi- 1n front of Hoffman’s store ut about 6:30 on the night of Junel. The store doors were closed, he thought. He turned in his letters to the offics at 6:45. Chief of Police L:es was called. Ach asked him: *“Did you see the pisto! at Hoffman’s siore the night of the shoot- ing?” L dia Did you wrap it up that night?” did not.” “Didn’t you testify at the Coroner’s in- quest that' you did ?’* **No, 1did not.” J. G. Maloney testified that he was a dragman and teamsier. Ou the evening of Juue 1 a6 o'clock he was on Kearny street. He walked down Bush street siowly and at the corner of Bush and saw two men arguing. One of them, who had a beard, was standing in the door facing the witness, and said, *“Come on in here, — —— you, and I will settle with you.” The other man, who had his back toward the witness, replied, “*You Laven’t anything to settle.”” Maloney jurther stated that later he had retraced his movements that night in the comvany of Chiel Lees, Officer Whitaker and Mr. Ach. He had walked at that time at about the same gait that he bad the night of the shooting. On cross-examiaation he said the man he saw in the door bad about a three days’ growth of beard. He didn't think the quarrel was serious, so didn’t pay much attention to them. After they made the remarks the men went into the store and cicsed the doors. About a week after this occurred the witness saw an account of Hoffman’s death in the papers and informed Mrs, Hoffman of what he had seen. She di. rected him to Mr. Ach and Ohief Lees subpenaed him to testify. General Barnes asked: +Have you received any money to tes- tify in this case?” “No sir, and furthermore, I haven’t seen either of the attorneys since I told Mr. Ach what I knew.” The witness then told of being taken by Officer Whitaker to the detectives' room at the police station, and how he had pointed out Figel asa man about ihesiz and shape of the one he had szen in front of Hoffman’s siore. James Doyle, a special officer of the First National Safe Deposit, testified that he was the one who bad opened the box {tor Figel at 5:46 the evening of June 1. He said Figel oniy staid a short time and he did not notice any package in his band. William Kelly, a hardware merchant from San Rafael, said he cid not know the defendant. On the night of June 1a man came into his store and asked for a bottle of red ink. He referred the man 1o Mr. Keliner's. He could give no descrip- tion of the man. As the witness left the stand he spoke to Judge Louderback. Mr. Ach recalled bhim to the stand and asked him if he haan’t just spoken to Figel.
