12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 189 TRIED LARCENY BT 60T LEFT Yellow Journalism Resorts to Theft to Secure “Call” News, An Emissary Sent by It to] Steal an Early Copy of a Live Paper. The Hearstling Chased to His Den, Given a Licking and Despoiled of His Booty. Ordinarily yellow journalism does mnot desire to be hampered by facts, but yester- day morning the Examiner actually wanted some news. It did not essay to procure this by honorable means, but re- “GOME SEVEN, COME LEVEN" ‘Ma,y Craps Be Played by Employes of the Custom House?

Citizens Are Anxious to Learn the Result of Morton’s Sait. Qlinton, Dodge and Lackmann Will Probably Resign if the New Board Is Ousted. The fate of the rival Boardsof Super- visors is still in doubt. The Supreme Court handed down no decision yesterday | in regard to ex-Supervisor Morton's pe- tition for a writ of mandamus that would sorted to criminal deception and ruffianly force. It did not get the news, but it made a little, and here it i In quest of information, the saffron freak naturaily turned to THE Carn. It wanted a copy of a live paper fresh from the press. At 3:30 a. ™., W. R, Britt, a reporter employed on the Examiner, | walked into TuE CALL mailing-rooms on Clay street, and remarked to J. A. Gaugh eran, a carrier on one of the routes, that he would like 10 get a copy of the paper. Gaugheran and Britt have known each other for a long time, and the latter | “I want to see what the paper | says about the Supervisors, as my father | THE CALL | THE | added: is a member of the old board. has all the news. I have been on CALL ever since Mr. Mansfield over,’ . Perhaps it is unnecessary to state that Mr. Britt was uttering an untruth; Gaugheran, unaccustomed 1o the wiles o vellow journalism, did not suspect this, and Britt got the paper he ashed for, stiil dzmp from the press. Then the young man vanished, but not unul his cbortle of glee had aroused the interest of F. H. Sheiton, superintendent of the mailing department, who looked in the direction that Britt had taken, and espied him legging merrily up Clay street. At the corner of Montgomery he jumped into a hack. the door of which stood open. The vehicle rattied off -toward the den of the Hearstiings. The young men of THE CaLu lost mo time n considering the etlical status of yellow journalism’s tactics, but put off in pursuit of Hearst’s agent. They had more at stake than the hackdriver had, and, aithough the vehicle moved rapidly, they sprinted a bit themselves, and ar- rived at the Mission-street entrance of the Examiner editorial rooms almost as soon as the reporter and his booty. Britt took a leap from the still moving back and bounded up the stairway, THE CALL man just behind and gaining at every step. Up the first flight, the sec- ond, the third, and then Britt came to a sudden stop. The door was locked. Whether to keep dishonest people out or to keep them in it matters not, The chase was at an end. Britt is proud of his qualities as a fighter, ana turning at bay proceeded to display them. A righthander from the Potrero carrier knocked the pride out of him and interfered with the dispiay. Several swift punches more made Britt relinquish the paper. With the recovered proverty in hand, THE CALL boys started down the stairs, six steps at a bound, with an Examiner geng in full cry after them. The uproar had alarmed the establish- ment, Britt’s shouts for help had reached the ears of the crowd waiting to receive the spoils of the larcenous raid he had made and they poured out ready for a battle. In the street there was another struggle. Britt bad caught some of the wind pre- viously knocked out of him anda fought desperately to resteal the copy of TrE Carr. Police whistles were blown, a mob collected and officers came on the run. Bhelton found himself in the arms of a policeman, who released him when told that somebody had tried to hoid some- body up, which ‘was the case. By .this time Gaugheran, with the torn and bloody paper, was making long strides for Clay stre:t. The paper was delivercd in triumph to the superirtendent of the mailing-room and is now in possession of THE CALL. Diligent inquiry yesterday afternoon established the fact beyond dispute that Britt was acting under orders of superior authority in the management of the yel- low highbinder. At midnight a carriage had been hired by two Examiner men. They were driven first to the Morzue; then to the Comstock saloon and then to the Bailors’ Home. From the Sailors’ Home they went to the Examiner office on Mis- sion street. One of the men in the car- riage was Brity, the other Moran. The carriage was kept in waiting in front of the Examiner office on Mission street until nearly 2 o’clock, and then Britt alone came down and directed the driverto goto a voint near THE CaLL of- fice on Ciay street and stop there. The driver obeyed instructions. Britt hovered around in that neighborhood until Tur CavL's first paper came trom the press, ‘The hackman saw him coming with the paver in hand. 5 “Isaw him coming up Clay street on the dead run,” said the driver. *I nad the door of the carriage open for him. ‘When he jumped in he said, ‘Drive like —— to the Examiner office on Mission street.” I drove at full speed, but the oung fellows on foot got there as soon as dia, I saw them run upstairs at Britt's heels. There was a great racket at the top of the stairs. 1didn’t know what w: going on. Pretty soon all of them piled down in a heap. “‘Police whistles were sounded and a great crowd gathered. After the excite- ment I was dismissed. Iasked to whom the hack should be charged, and was told to charge it to W. R. Britt of the Ex- aminer. Now if yellow journalism wishes to cony any more news from THE CALL this is the Opportunity, came Fotrero but | B 2 BUT THE DGGa, | | | E YAS LORKE oI | | vlayed with two dice shared equal favor with the watermelon and the’possum in the hearts of all true descendants of the sunny South,but the period has evidently arrived when the time-honored game must be tabooed by gentlemen who as- pire to enter the service of the people. Charges have been filed with Collector Jackson accusing C. A. Hughes, a colore{ messenger connected with the Appraiser’s division of the Custom-house, of neglect of duty, misconduct and profligate habi One of the specific acts which is sup- the. d posed 10 have militated against ig- nity of the customs office- with which Hughes is charged is said to be the piay- in&ol’ a game of craps. Vhen, where or under what circum- stances Mr. Hughes so infringed upon the iron rules of the service, or whether he lost or won, has not been made Known, but he has been called upon to explain his connection with the game and 10 disprove, if possible, the charge that he dallied with the dice. This is not the first time Hughes has attained notoriety and newspapcr men- tion. When the colored cake walk was proposed as a feature of the last M: chanics’ Fair, e was very bitter in denouncing tve affair, and took the position that no self- respecting colored person would partici- pate in such a ‘‘vulgar amusement” as a cake walk. The cake walk was a success, however, notwithstanding Mr. Hughes’ nostility, and the colored 400 lent their aid to make it s0. Some time ago *“Pop” Sullivan, pro- prietor of the Hoffman House saloon, was made defendant in a $40.000 damage suit. Hughes was the plaiutff. The suit was based upon the fact that Sullivan had drawn the color line and re- Ifused to serve him with refreshments in the Hoffman House hostelry. The case was tried before Judge Hunt, but the jur: evidently did not consider the plaintif bad suffered any damage, for they as- sessed the costs 10 him and brought in a verdict jor the defendant. Hughes once went so far as to engage an attorney and threaten suit against John Caley of the Del Monte saloon be- cause of an alleged attempt on the part of ths latter to enforce a color line. Mr, Caley clait Wise, in whose ¢tploy Hughes then was, about the matter, and believes Mr. Wise was instrumental in discouraging his em- ployedn his intention to seek redress be- fore a jury. It was also said that Mr. Swain, the Butter-street caterer, once incurred the wrath of Hughes because he presumed to believe in the merits of the color Jine. Hughes is an intelligent young man, very highly esteemed by the colored pop- ulation, and if he can ounly come irom under the shadow of thatcrap game ve may yet continue on Uncle SBam'’s payroll, DEATH RATE DEOI{EASIHG, : Records of the Heaith Department Show That the Mortality Is Less.

All were present except Justice Henshaw. The other Justices consulted, neverthe- less, but it is not known whether or not their deliberations resulied in any deter- mination of the case. The people are interested in the case, Yesterday hundreds of persons visited the clerk of the Supreme Court, whose office is located in the Parrott building, and asked him if the court had. decided the Bupervisorial wrangle. -The clerks were called to the telephone incessantly to answer whether or not adecision had been handed down in the case. For some unknown reason the ousted eight Supervisor s were most cheerful yes- terday. They were confident that the | Supreme Court would restore them to power. Eo jubilant were they that they insisied cn treating all their friends, a galaxy of men otherwise known as the “pueh,” to ail kinds of refreshments.

William Bradley, a sailor, Charged With Assault to Marder. Wiliiam Bradley, a satlor, was arrested last night and buoked at the Seventeenth- street station on a charge of assault to commit murder. He returned yesterday from a long <ea voyage and went to his home at 1357 Twentieth street. Last night he quar- reled with bis wife Annie and stabbed her on the left ear with & penknife. When he saw the blood gushing from the ear he became frightenea and ran out of the house. Mrs. Bradley’s screams were heard by a young man named Shanahan and he ran after Bradley, overtaking and arresting him. On the way to the Seventeenth- stry station Bradley tripped Shanahan up and again ran, pursted by Shanaban, who overtook him at Fifteenth and Mis- sion streets. While they were strucgling Policemen Murphy and Redmond came upon the scene, and Bradley was soon overpowered. ~ The penknise with the blade covered with blood was found in his pocket. SOARED BY A PIPE. Two Footpads Attempt to Hold Up A, Rosenheim. A. Rosenheim, 265 Clinton Park, re- ported to the police yeslerday thattwo men attempted to hold him up on City Hall avenue at an early hour yesterday morning. He was on his way home shortly before 1 o’clock when two men approached him, and one of them, he thought, ordered him to throw up his hands, Rosenbeim velled twice for the police and in his desperation he -pulled a briar- root pine out of his pocket and presented it at the two men. Thinking it was a re- volver they turned and fled toward Mec- Allister street. Rosenhelm said one of the men was about 6 icet tall and the othera little shorter, but that was all the descrip ion { he could give of them. ‘NATORE' MOIST SALUTE The First Ra;n of the Season Falls With a Gentle Touch, It Oauses Discoloration of the Ceiling and Alarms City Hall Officials. The clerk at the weather switchboard turned on the liquid key yesterday for the | | first time for the season of 97 and 9%, and s a consequence this portion of the earth received its initiative baih in the shape of a gentle shower, which was a welcome vis- itor to alt except a few orchard men who had their fruit-driers exposed.

The only daniage done so far as is | known was about the City Hall, where | the place was loft in a sorry plizht, for the roof was open to the elements in many plac and the drizzle soaked through into several of the offices, Fortunately precautions bad been taken to preserve tne records in depariments | where the roof was altogether lacking, {and the tarpaulins kept the rain from ruining the documents. ! In the rooms of the Board of Supervisors | the carpets were aircady up and coverings over the cases, so that practically no dam- age was done except to the ceiling, which | was discolored 1n several places by the | water. In several courtrooms and in the office of the Mayor the rain had almost free ac- | cess to the ceilings, and it is expected tiat severel hundred doliars’ worth of damage will result to the plasterifg. The damage | is not likely to become greater unless the rain should continue. ONONISH 1S BOOMING. Membership of the Building! Trades Council Rapidly Increasing. The - Organization of the Painters' Union Will Be Consummated Next Week. | Matters unionistic seem to have taken a | decided step forward in the last few weeks, and especiaily is this the cuse with the Building Trades Council, which is grow- ing rapidly in size and proportionately in usefulness. Atlast night’s meeting Thomas Parkin- son, K. Curtis and D. Murray, of United FPlumbers’ and Gasfitters’ Assoc:ation No. 69, and H. J. Skeenan of the local Marble Catters’ Union, were received and seated as_ delecates, thus affiliating two more also that the powerful Carpenters’ Union and the newly formed Painters’ Union wilt _also join forces with the Trades Council. A resolution was drawn up to be pre- sented Lo the Board of Health and Board of Supervisors, providing that any person or persons found guilty of papering, tint- ing or calcimining any portions of a build- ingor habitation without firat thoroughly cleansing the walle and removing the old paper, be found guilty of a misdemeanoy | and be fined not less than $10, or more | than $500, or be punished for a term not less than five days or more than six months. Tuis resolution will come up before the Lubor Council ana Carpenters’ District Council to-night tor indorsement. A: prel minary meeting of the painters was hieid last night for the purpose of or- ganizing, and it is probable that the or- ganization will be completcd ata meeting 10 be held next Wednesday evening. ——— Improvers of Towns.

The Los Angeles Lad Is Deter- mined to Strike in the Break, With One Arm Free Both Fighters Can Punch When at Close Range. The betting on the Smith and Dixon contest continnes to improve as the time for the fight draws near. The pools opened with Dixon a strong colored iad on the long end. Yesterday aiternoon the Smith end dropped to 614, and several pools were sold at these ngures. It isthought that by Saturday evening the betting will be 2to 1, with Dixon in the lead. Sporting men who keep a close watch | on the movements of fighters say the | fluctuation in the betting beiween the lads who are so evenly maiched can be attributed only to the large amount of coin -that is in the hands of the pool- sellers to be placed on D:xon. The colored fighter Las been always backed strongly, and his supporters will stand by him as long as heis in the race | for gold coin and vistinction. Smith has a much smaller following than Dixon and the gamblers contend it is because Smith money is comparatively scarce that the Los Angeies feather- weight does not keep close company with his rival in the betting rine. “Soily Smith is as game a lad as ever donned boxing gioves,” said Barney Mur- pby of Los Angeles yesterday, ‘tand although he may not have as much money d him as Dixon, he will prove to Dixon’s greatest admirers when he meets the colored man in the ring that betting men are not always shrend gamblers.” Murphy is, of course, playing Smith to @win and like sevoral of his triends from @ city of the Angels be exrects to see Solly make short work of Tom O'Rourke’s little wonder on Monday evening. So far, everything points to a contest that will give general satisfaction, but in | tne interim there may be a hitch in the arrangements which, if not amicably settled b:fore the evening ot the contest, may cause unnecessary delay. Smith contends that tne Marquis of | Queensberry rules give a fighter & right | 10 hit his opponent in a clinch, provided | one arm be Iree. Bolly is very positive on this question, | and stated to several friends that this rule must be adbered to. It is said that U'Rourke does not favor this system of fighting, and will protest against the men | hitting in a clinch. Doubtless the matter will be adjusted satistactorily to all concerned before the lighiersenter the ring, as spectators of | fights have no particular fancy 1o remain for any unnecessary leagth of time listen- ing to poor music while the pugilists are arguing a point that should be settied lon - before the day of the fight. Smith is now in first-class condition, and is as contident of whipping Dixon as he is of appearing before a large andience Monday evenieg. Dixon is nursing a like feeling, of course, and although he has very littie to | say on the subj:ct he intimates that if Smith whips him he (Smith) will be the | first slogger that ever turned thé trick on | him. | Championship battles are always toa | finish, but as so-called finish contests are | tolerated only in the sagebrush coun.ry nowadays the public looks upon a twenty- round bout as virtualiy meaning a finish; that is, of course, when pugilists do not figure upon a draw when they enter the | ring. Dixon and Hawkins did not putupa very brisk engagement. The colored lad seeminely neld back some of bis heavy fire, but be that as it may it 1s thougt that Smith will compel the great little | colored fighter to let loose his entire bai- | tery, as the cannonade from the Smith | been sustained by the great more of those natty effec Furnishing Goods Departme exchange goods, or, if we ca fully refund money.

MOROSC0'S EASY VIOTORY. Defeat Orpheum-Aleca by a Large Margin. The second bali game of the series be- tween the Orpheum-Alcazar aggregation and the Morosco team was played vester- day afternoon and resulted in a viciory for the latter with a score of 13 to6. This gives the team: a game apiece and the rubber will be played sometime next week. The game was yed with an Exami- ner ball, which was, as one of the players expressed it, “like a hunk of lead.” This fact precluded the making of any brilliant batting record. Both Rooney and Reed pitched good bail and received good support from the men behind the bat. Rooney made the play of the day by making a long run and picking a foul off the fence, Thirteen errors to the credit of the Orpheums tell briefly the story of their de- feat. base hits, it looks asif the game should have been have its fielding eye along, so Aggregation succumbed to the steady game put up by the Moros- cos.
