As stated yesterday, the ramifica- tions of the great scandal are numer- ous and far-reaching, yet half the story still remains in the shade. Many of the defalcations were caused by the system of ‘‘rake-offs,” which Wel- burn had learned to perfection. Scarcely an official in subordinate con- dition escaped the rasping hand of the tax-gatherer. It w Osca’s custom to levy tribute as tool of Warren Hastings robbed the rich treasuries of the Hindoo Begumsof | their richest jewels. has also caused s ruthlessly as ever a | as any cunning narration of the adroit | methods in vogue with the past master in the art of charging the salaries all they could bear. From January until June, 1894, there were from thirty to one hundred names on the payrolls, designated as assist- ants in the delicate service of register- ing Chinese. The truth is that many of them were dummies. The men alleged | to be in the service drew down a small sum each month, while the bulk of their earnings went to their masters. | In January about thirty names ap- peared on the pay rolls. The month following had less, while in March the | list was enlarged to forty. May was one of the ripest months for the ‘“‘graft. ers,” as the books showed that as many as 100 names were on the roll | ranked as useful servants of the Gov- ernment. From this extensive and changing list, which fluctuated as the requirements of private purses chang- ed, at least $10,000 was reaped. The Welburn story is now a matter of ancient history. The phase of the case which is now of interest is that which involves others. It is not defi- ‘nitely known who the men are who will be involved in the forthcoming indict- ments, but it is whispered that some of the brokerage offices will feel the tongues of flame encircling the heads witness | | ments may soon be exp of their heretofore most respected chieftains.

Claims She Is Hiding in One of San Francisco’s Dens. Told Neighbors He Knew Where She ‘Was to Be Found, but Afterward Denied. No trace has yet been found of the missing Mrs. Julia Keefe, and the resi- dents of Alameda are no nearer the solution of the strange disappearance of the woman than they were when the children of the seif-confessed brutal husband first told their story of their mother leaving them under such sus- picious circumstances. Patrick Keefe on Friday night volunteered some in- formation that was thought might clear up the mystery, but yesterday he contradicted it. His story was that his wife was leading a life of shame in San Francisco and that she was too fond of her ‘children to come forward at this time and be compelled to tell of her life and bring her shame to her home. He said the reason he did not tell of it before was that he did not like to make such explanations to the little ones who called him father and he thought it best ‘that they should never know of their mother’s misdeeds. ‘When questioned about that state- ment yesterday he denied that he had made it and he emphatically asserted that be did not know where his wife was. He said, however, that it was his opinion that she was in San Francisco living a disreputable life, but where she was to be found he did not know. She had left home before, he said, and consorted with dissolute persons, but that was when they lived in Australia. It was her fondness for drinkthatled her away, he claimed, but the neigh- bors of the family say that the woman never drank, or at least she never gave them any reason to think that she did, since they have known her, and they dispute the husband’s statement that she was fond of liquor. Keefe now says that he knew his wife was not at La Seuwer, Minn. He claims that if she was there he would have heard from her before this. A few days ago he told that she was in the Minnesota town and said she was with a sister named Lynch. The chief of police of that place in a dis- patch says there is no such person in that town and that he was unable to find Mrs. Keefe there. After the pub- lication of the dispatch from the chief of police Keefe asserts that it is his belief that his wife is in San Fran- cisco in a life of shame. He says he would like to find her, not only to clear up the mystery of her disappear- ance, but that he is lonesome without her and wishes that she would come | team from the fact that the managers back. “I always have a welcome for her,” he said, ‘“no matter what she has done. She has left me before and consorted with persons no respectable woman would care to be seen with, but it makes no difference to me. I have always a fondness for her and | would willingly forgive all her mis- deeds.” SANTA CRUZ VICTORIOUS They Won Yesterday’s Game After a Hard Struggle. The Santa Claras Do Not Take Kindly to Defeat and File a Protest. There was a slim attendance at Cen- tral Park yesterday afternoon to wit- ness the ball game between the Santa Clara and Santa Curz teams. The | “rooters” were strong for the latler‘ | of the team waived the acceptance of | last Sunday’s protested game. They were rewarded by winning yesterday’s game by the close score of 1 to 0, the lonely run being made in the ninth inning. The Santa Cruz lads played an errorless game. Basehits were as scarce as vegetables | on the Klondike, the Santa Claras only | succeeding in getting onto Hughes' de- ceptive curves but two times. The features of the fame were a | beautiful stop of a hot grounder by | Delmas behind the second cushion, pre- venting Hughes reaching first, and the phenomenal catch of Stulz, who ran over into left field from center, pulling down the ball from the fence. Doyle was the batter, and but for Stulz's | marvelous play would have been easily credited with a two-bagger. F. Foley and Arrellanes received well-merited applause in heading off two hot liners. In both instances they fumbled the ball, but recovered themselves in time to head off the batters at first. In the ninth inning, when Santa Cruz had the bases full, a beautiful double piay in which Lockhead, Graham and Farry | participated shut off the run getting. Following is the score: Santa Claras.
