The Bark Enoch Taibot to Be Trans- formed Into a Klondike Pas- senger-Boat. The only excitement on the front yesterday was caused by the departure of the steamer Walla Walla for the Sound and the arrival of the Peru from Clilna, via Japan and Hawail. The Walla Walla, being the last ves sel to leave for Seattle at the cut rates, took away every passenger she could carry.

The saving in time more than makes up for the expense, and if the fishermen keep on getting engines placed in their boats there will soon be a gascline fleet on the fishing grounds. It is a daily occurrence to see the for- tunate owner of a gasoline boat tow- ing from six to eight of his less fortu- nate brethren in from sea. Others making their way up the bay against the tide are picked up by other launch- es and towed to their destination. Yes- terday aftercoom about forty fishing smacks were towed past Meiggs wharf by the different gasoline boats, Every fisherman who owns two or three boats is also the owner of a launch, and the latter is used to tow the sailing boats from one fishing ground tc the other.

Harry Brennan, connected with the park, was in evi- dence, and was closely questioned as to the chances of this and that hound, and “dipped” correctly with one or two exceptions. Louis Metzer, Teddy Osbourne and Captain F. W. Warren helped to keep the pool-sellers busy, and Jockey “‘Midget” O'Connor, the feather-weight rider of the coast, was seemingly anx- ious to try his chance astride of a fleet hare. “They are off a bunch,” he would declare, and at the finish he would coolly walk up and cash his tickets, for he won, and won strong. Then W. Kay, of the popular owners, Kay & Trant, came to the front, first declaring that he was not connected with the opposition dog men, and that no authority had been given them by him for his election as an officer in the new with a few well-placed bets. A lady, well known by many present, persisted in asking questions, which placed the | the | baseball female shade. “Why do the hares run so fast?” was her first question, and then when the gentleman friends had escaped through a rear entrance she inquired of her lady companion, “What makes the hounds follow?” Of course the ques- tions were answered, but the lady rode home alone. It was plainly a day for the favorites. The hares were in splendid trim, and many courses were more than exciting. The first throw-down of the day was when Seminole, at 2 to 1, lost to the neglected Sly Boy. Then Eclipse, who was theught to be a “lead piper,” failed to follow White Lily. But the faint- ing spells arrived when the 5 to 3 fav- orite, Fleetwood, lost to Tod ¥loan in a long and well-fought eourse. Nelly B ran a bye with Vigilant, and the | course proved that bettors were not al- ways in the right, as Vigilant took a | nice slice of money, which had been | played at 215 to 1 against him. } The feature of the day was the run- | | questioner in ning of Diana. Beating such hounds as Myrtle, Sly Boy and Susie is no easy thing, and when the fleet hound start- ed the money flooded the ring. Moon- dyne was in bad condition in the fourth ties.

He is an ex-convict, and is known under several different names. Convinced that he w the right man, the detectives yesterday took him to the grocery store for the purpose of having him identified. Aft- er carefully scrutinizing him, Jess, the proprietor, failed to recognize him. “I was so excited at the time,” he | explained to Ryan and O'Dea, “that even if he was the right man I could not identify him.” | The two men who were in the store at the time were then sent for, but, like Jess, they were unable to recog- nize the suspect.

The handkerchief which he used as a mask was subsequently found in a yard contiguous to the scene of the robbery. | The police are convinced that the ex- convict, who was suspected of having committed the bold crime, is the right man.

He said: “Tt | |is a great wrong that the law should be | obscured as it sometimes 1Is.

He said he looked with equanimity upon such efforts. The A. P. A. would help Cath- olics in the opinion of Americans whose good opinion was worth having. Some politicians of his faith had lacked judg- ment and sought to fight the puny ef- forts of the A. P. A. He was very sorry for it, but those who sought to kindle the dying’ fires of religlous hatred met with failure. Time would do the right thing. —_————— | Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. | PEORIA, I, Jan. 16—The executive committee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen is holding~ its annual session here to receive reports and audit nc- counts.

ROTTANZI AS 1 CRUSADER Property Owners of the Mission Flock to His Standard. Twenty Picked Men to Urge the Removal of the City and County Hospital, Enthusiastic Meeting at Maennerbund Hall—Strong Speeches Ap- plauded. The crusade for the removal of the City and County Hospital to some oth- er site and the erection of new build- ings has at last begun in earnest. Yes- terday afternoon the property owners of the Mission assembled in mass meet- ing at Maennerbund Hall, Twenty- | fourth street and Potrero avenue, and used the parliamentary battle-ax vig- | orously in a united endeavor to gain redress of their grievance. At that meeting two names shone as | stars of the first magnitude—those of Supervisor Rottanzi and Senator L. Dwyer. They have both devoted a good deal of their time and energy to the proposed reform, and the assem- blage simply showered them with en- comiums from the drop of the chalr- man's gavel to the passing round of the hat. As a result of that meeting twen- ty representative ¢ ens will call in a sort of friendly way to interview the Supervisors on the proposition to-day, and later on will 1ke a few business visits. In addition it was decided to hold monthly mee s and keep ham- mering away on the reform string until somebody’s heart ens or nerves weary—it is the same thing to them. The meeting v under the auspices of the Potrero Avenue Improvement Club. James B. Hughes called it to or- der, and Thomas Slevin was selected as chairman, and Eugene V. Sullivan as secretary After asserting the purpose of the gathering and the fact that vigorous support at this time would direct at- tention to Supervisor Rottanzi's pro- posed resolution to remove and erect ne building: Slevin read a resolution, Chairman jopted unan- imously. Its general purport was as follows: That Christian charity requires that every community shall c: properly | for its suffering poor; that Senator L. | J. Dwyer had introduced a bill at the last session of the Legislature empow- ering the Supervisors to levy a speclal tax of $300,000 for the construction of a new City and County H ital; that the hospital was built twenty-five vears ago with the assurance that it was to be torn down and the land to revert to the city in ten years, none of the prom- ises made at the time being fulfilled; that the rights of the taxpayers should | be respected in the matter of having a hospital fit for the largest city west of the Rocky Mountains, and that public decency should be respected and the suffering poor no longer be treated as inadequately as they have been. The document concluded as follows: “Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting shall appeint a committee of twenty, which shall be present at the next meeting of the Board of Super- visors, to lay before that honorable body these resolutions, and in the name of the citizens request that Immedlate steps be taken to remedy this crying and shameful abuse; and, further, “Resolved, That the secretary of this meeting be instructed to present to the Board of Supervisors and to the press of San Francisco a copy of these reso- lutions.” At the suggestion of members of the audience the following were appointed a committee to carry out the purpose of the resolution: M. Ohlandt, L. J. Dwyer, T. F. Mitchell, D. F. Keefe, A. B. Maguire, James Behan, James B. Hughes, John Kenney, John Rippe. M. F. C. Mauser, Mr. Newman, P. J. Cur- tis, E. Maginnis, P. Beggins, P. Stol- berg, Rev. Willlam Tubb, Henry-Schul- ken, M. C. Cull, Max Popper and Will- iam Cook. This committee was made permanent, and the first Sunday In February was appointed as the next time of meeting. Hughes tried to speak with Dr. Rot- tanzi by telephone, in order to make arrangements as to the time of confer- ring with the beard, but fafled to find him. Stirring addresses were made by Sen- | ator Dwyer, A. B. Maguire, Max Pop- per, P. J. Curtls and Rev. Dr. Tubb, All urged the people to keep working | until their rights were resvected. Pop- r struck the keynote of the situation, idenced by the applause, when he de- clared that “we want no monev ex- pended by the Mission in caring for monkeys when human beings are left sick and neglected.” Curtis declared that the present hosnital is not good | encugh in which to place a hizh-bred dog. and Rev. Dr. Tubb belleved it wonld be a fine thing if all the patients could be removed and the structure burned to the ground. Resolutions were adopted thanking Senator L. J. Dwyer and Dr. Rottanzi for their activity in the matter. Bricklayers and Masons.
