AN ARMED TRUCE I§ DECLARED Commissioner Gunst and Chief Lees Come To- gether. ORMY SESSION OF THE BOARD. The Figel Case the Cause of a Long and Acriminous Discussion, LEFT T0 FIGHT IT 0UT ALONE. Alvord and Tobin Leave the Com- batants Together in the Room. The End Not Yet. Police Commissioner M. A. Gunst and Chief of Police Lees have declared an Hostilities are likely to be re- newed at any time, but for the present they have agreed to bury tneir mutua!l dis- esteem and keep their affairs to them- selves. The Board of Police Commissioners met last night in one of the stormiest sessions since the famous trial of Captain, tken sergeant, Wittman. The entire proceed- | ings were on the star chamber order and | everv approach to the Commissioners’ room was guarded by a stalwart police- man, butthe members of the board at times pitched their voices so loud that words and sentences would float out through the open transom. Chief Lees, resplendent in all the gold lace that adorns his dress uniform, was the first to enter the chamber, Commis- sioner Gunst arrived in a few minutes and was followed almost immediately by Aivord and Tobin, the other two members of the board. ession began at 7:15 o’clock, the ainst Patrolmen John A. Ryan for neglect of duty and William Kearney for unofficeriike conduct ss to pe considered. Both charges ort order, and the clerk took pains to come out and an- nounce to those in waiting in the cor- ridor that there was no further business to come up. But the board did not adjourn. The minues rolied on and after a time the voices of the Commissioners were raised in animated discussion. The battle was on, and the Figel case was the fighting gronnd. There cou!d be no doubt of that, for the name of Ach was frequently heard. Chief Lees apparently openel the en- | gagement, forthe deep rumble of his chest notes were the first that wer s heard. Then Commissioner Gunst sounced the charge, and when his colleague,Tobin, entered the fray the action became general, Commissionsr Alvord did not seem to take much part in tbe proceedings, bnt the others indulged in a general mix-up, their voices, high-pitched, sounding out simuitaneously at intervals. Then would come a !ull only to be broken by another babel of voices. Once, when Mr. Gunst apparently had the floor to himseif, he warmed up to his subject with such fervor that this sen- tence was plainly audible: ‘“Yes, I made those statements and 1 wili stand by them.” Then the discussion assumed a milder tone. At 8:50 o'clock the door opeined and Commissioners Tobin and Alvord emerged and disappeared down the gloomy corridor. Evervbody waited for the other two to | come out, but the door was again closed, and the minntes sped on untii 9:45, when Gunst and Lees appeared tocether and started toward the Chief’s office, 1n the Larkin-street wing. The Commissioner’s face showed traces ! of agitati.n and there was a belligerent swing to his walk that testified to his de- termination to fight 1t out tothe bitter He was angry clear through and he took little pains to conceal the fact. Chief Lees was self-possessed enough, but his features bore a somewhat troubled ex- pression. At the Larkin-street corridor Mr. Gunst | announced that he was going bome. but the Chief asked him to step into his office a | moment until hecould change hisciothes, and said he would go with him. “Well, I'll only waita minute,” replied | the Commissioner, and he stepped into tbe main office while the Cnief passed on into his private room. While he was waiting repeated efforts were made to get Mr. Gunst to make a statement, but 10 every question he an- swered shortly: ever to say.”’ He even refused to state whether arges had been preferred agamst tihe Chiel, and finaily turned and abraptly left the office without seeing Chiel Lees again. I'he latter was detained in his private office nearly a quarter of an hour, and when he finally emerged, was as close- mouthea as the other. To every question put to him he refused to make any state- ment whatever. **Was the Figel case under discussion?’ be was asked. *‘Before the Commissiouers—no.” ““Was it discussed after Messrs. Tobin and Alvord left the roora 2’ “I decline Lo answer that or any other question. Soon after he started for his home in company with his son, while Commis- sioner Gunst visited his place of business on Ellis street and at 11 o’clock went to his residence. It is quite certain that no charges have been prelerred against the Cniel, but it is i also certain that the Commissioner 1s de- termijned to coniinue the warfareand that the present cessation of nostilities is only temporary. When the matter is taken up by the board it is probavle that Commissioner Tovin will join forces with Gunst, while Alvord will support the Chief. A COAUSTIC CIRCULAR. It Condemns the Influence of Money in Churches. A caustic letter, written by T. T. Frick- stad, 2 member of the First Congrega- | tional Church in Oakland, has been circu- lating in the church circles of this city. His principal complaint in the epistle is that money rules th: churches and the common people have no place there. Rev. W. €. Pond, speaking about the circuler, said: ‘It came up before the Congregational Ciub, but we did not think it of sufficient importance to pass judg- ment on 11, though all had read it. Itdid not coincide with tue views of the min- isters.”” e e ADVANCES made On_furniture aud pianos with or witboui removal.

Joe Goddard, the heavy-weight Australian pugilist, arrived here on last night's belated Central overland train. He has come to fight Sharkey, with whom he was matched in London two weeks ago, when Le wasadvised tnat the sailor would be the best av: ble man for a drawing card, and before be or his present manager had learned of the ill repute attaching to the ring tactics of th» so-called pride of the navy. Goddard, however, purposes, now that the articles are signed, to hold to the agreement and meet Sharkey here. His only provision is that a square referee shall ba chosen twenty-four hours before the men enter the ring. He wantsno repetition of the Earp affair, but is prepared to let evident merit decide the contest. ““I thought,” said Goddard, when interviewed shortly after his arrival at the Baldwin Hotel, *‘that this man Sharkey would be the best thinz for me to meet. He bas never been beaten, and he’s a new man. Of course I don’t take any stock in nis claim to the championship, and don’t think tnat by defeating him I would get the title. 1 was told that there wasno use trying for a match with Fitzsim- mons, and all my friends in London advised me to try for Sharkey. Itada chance to stop off at Chicago for a twenty-round go with Maher, and when I arrived in this country a week ago I first heard of this proposed mateh with Choynski. But I have licked both of those men; defeatea Maher once and Choyrski twice. “That is why I looked to Sharkey as my best match—the fight that would take well. Idor’t care whom I ficht. I am out for any man. As soon as I get through this Sharkey fight I'm open 10 a match with all of ihem, one at a time, and I'li stay here as long as there’s fighting for me. *'I wasin SBouth Africa for two years, fighting most of the time. I hadseven matches there and won them all. Then about ten weeks awo Ireturned to Eng- land. Ispent a month ia Ireland, two weeks in Scotland, and two weeks 1n Lon- don, but did no boxing. *‘1 had been corresponding for some time with Madden. Then finally, when I didn’t hear from him about arranging a match here for me, I cabled to ‘Teddy’ and he got this match on with Sharkey. As soon as I got word I started right over, and have come right through to meet Sharkey. I prepared to put up a good fight, and anyway no one can accuse me of being a faker. I shall probably go over to Sausalito to training quarters, I am a bit heavy now; weigh 205 pounds,” The big, abno:mally square-shouldered and square-faced Australian pugilist signed himself on the hotel register, “J. J. Goddard, South Africa,” He looks well and strong, but beyond the prime of a successful fi:hter. He is accompanied by his youthful manager, “Teddy'* Alexander, formerly of Australia, late of New York, who declares that Police Commissioner Mose Gunst told him in New York that San Fraocisco would be delighted with such a rough, hammer- and-tongs fight as mighi be expected from a meeting of Goddara and Sharkey.

Special Agent Thrasher Was Also Placed on the Ora- torical Gridiron, Argument Begun in the Fmbezzle- | ment Case Against Ex-Collector Welburn, An interested crowd sat in United States Judge de Haven's courtroom all day ves- terday listeaing to the clear and forceful argument for the people of Deputy Dis- trict Attorney Bert Schlesinger in the ‘Welburn embezzlement case. The crowd was made up mostly of Fed- eral officials and other persons interested in political affairs, but the most interested persons in tke court were the relatives of the defendant. His wife, a niece of ex- Secreiary Carlisle, her two daughters and her son, occupied chairs back of the at- torneys. Among the other spectators there were but two women, and they had been at- tracted to the courtroom by curiosity. | Mr. Schlesinger entered upon his argu- | ment at 11 o’clock, and resumed at 10 minutes after 2 :n the afternoon at the | | conclusion of the noon recess, Mr. Wel- | | burn being ten minutes late. | His tardiness gave rise to considerable | speculation. His wife and daughters fiom time to time turned their heads ex- vectantly toward the door. His son went out 10 look for him. Then Mr. Gould, one of his attcrneys, went on the chase. | The minutes ticked away in ponderous | | silence, Judge de Haven shifting uneasily in bis chair, until every one expecied that | the Judge wouid administer a sharp re- | buke to the 1ardy delendant. | | Finally Mr. Gould returned and apolo- getically announced that he had not been | able to d Mr. Weiburn. Mr. Welburn was subject to fainting aud it was likely that he had becen taken with one, said Mr. Gould. It might be also that he did not know that the pre: fendant was necessary du ment, 1 | “Judge ae Haven remarked that proba- | bly Mr. Welburn was iznorant of the ne: cessity for bis appearance. Then they waited again for a few minutes and the de- ame in and took bLis seat by Mr. uld without remark. Mr. Schlesinger commented upon the | testimony of Sinnott, and claimed tha his testimony had been amply substan. tiated by documentary evidence about which there was nodoubt. Welburn’sde- | niai of Siunott’s statement was character- ized asaliie, and if Welbusn lied about one fact in the csse he would lie about another, and therefore should not be be- lieved. | It wasargued further that if Welburn retained a portion of Miss O'Brien’s sal- ary—aznd he admitted having done so—it | was unquestionabiy true that he had also | | retained a_portion of the salary due Mr, Sinnott. The O'Brien voucher was in tie | handwriting of Welburn all the way | through, and it was not denied thut the | | signature of Welburn was genu Tne | | voucher signed by him wus 1o tne effect | tnat the services b been actually ren- ’ucrem by M'ss O'Brien, whereas the fact | was that she had not performed any services and had not received the $75 men- tioned in the voucher as being paiwd to her. | This transaction was not at all compatible with Welburn's a-sartion of innocence. This was a fact that Welburn could not | explain away. When be paid her $30 on | another occasion the voucher called for | $129. Mr. Schlesinger’s analysis of the evi- | dence was thorough and shrewd. He | overlooked no points, and his arraign- | ment of the defendant, while unim-| | passioned, was scorching. | Gavin McNab began the opening argu- ment for ihe defendant at baif-past 3| o’cleck in the afternoon. He began by | pouring verbal vitriol upon the head of Colored Messenzer Diliard, the principal | witness for the prosecution. Attention was pointedly called to the fact that Dil- | lard had admitted on the preliminary ex- | amination that he bad committed forgerv; | | his wages were raised from §900 to §1200 ’ per annum. Mr. McNab was of the opin- | ion that “this negro Dillard,” as he called | him, should have gone to the peniten- | tiary. How long,” be askel, “'do you think| that such a man would consider the repu- | tation of a man and his family? When | Dillard saw Special Agent Thrasher smile | he went on testifying in that straif, and | when he saw Thrasher frown this negro | | changed his testimony till the smile came back again. | “Whenever there was a deficiency in | the evidence the crv was ‘More Dillard,’ and he came into court arm in arm with the special agent, Thrasher. | “The defense didn’t save this aegro from the penitentia: it didn’t raise nis | | salary from $900 to $1200 a year; it didn’t pay him for his testimony, and he | couldn’t remember anything that wasin | Weiburn’s favor, but only those thinzs that were against him. *“You saw this miserable wretch on the stang writhing and squirming and striv- ing in every possible way to avoid saying anything in favor of this defendant.’ The speaker charged the Government agent with compounding a feiony and subornaton o perjury. He believed that “that writhing w:etcn,” if promised | B immunity from the penitentiary, | would tesiify to anything. Diilari wastie missing link in the case whenever there | was a gap. | |~ Mr. Sinnott was the next witness placed | | | upon the gridiron, and the vouchers and checks were read for the purpose of sub- stantiating the testimony of Welburn. Frank H. Gould will make the closing argument for the defendant to-day. He will be followed by United States Attor- ney Foote.
