They |. sald they had inquiries from all over | the country about the company. Now Withey had told me they had $10,000 in the First National Eank and that thirty-six men had paid up, but last | Sunday when I was talking to Lodge alone he told me they had only $1000 in the bank. So I pretended to Withey less they saw something substantial Then I wrote him a letter and sent It down by a boy saying that if he would let me have my five hundred shares the others could probably be in- duced to come in. Here is the reply I got,” and McCarthy exhibited a letter reading as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1, 158. Dear Friend Mack: Your note rece and will do as I sald I would, between you and I, of course one's biz how you get it. Now do your best, and you_will alwa: me your true friend. Yours very truly,l HARRY J. WITHEY, | General Agent. | Accompanying this letter was a cer- | tificate for 500 shares in the company, which McCarthy says he was expected | to show the others in order to get them to “plank down the dough.” McCarthy then wanted to have everybady connected with the com- | pany arrested, but upon the advice of an attorney that nothing could be done unless it could be proved that some- body had actually pald money in, this tive was detailed on the case. James K. Lynch, cashier of the First National Bank, asserts that the in- stitution has never been notified of being elected treasurer for the Alaska | Electric Exploration and Mining Com- | pany and has no account with them. | He knew one or two of the men by | reputation only and had always con- sidered them good citizens. “We have received two or three in- | quirfes from local residents about them,” he said, “and one came from Montana. They have no right to use | our name on their billheads without | first getting our consent. It appears | to me to be done for the purpose of | backing up their comapny with the | name of a reputable concern.” McCarthy, the complainant and amateur detective, Is a brother of the famous “White Hat” McCarthy, and is | engaged in blacksmithing at 22 Golden Gate avenue. He asserts that he had | a “tough job” to keep Denihey from joining without any investigation, and that if Denihey had not confldence in | his friend on account of the fact that he had been elected to the Assembly | in 1888 from the Thirty-ninth Die- | trict he would surely have lost his | money. BALLOT COUNTING TO BEGIN EARLY. Another Innovation in the Proposed Charter Favored by Freeholders. The Board of Freeholders met last evening in the Mills building and con- tinued its consideration of the subject of precinct registration. Sections 6 to 8 in- clusive of the report were adopted with little debate. They provide generally for the qualifications of an elector. The num- ber of registration officers in each pre- cinct 1s left to the judgment of the Board of Election Commissioners. All sections of the report dealing with the boards of precinct registration were adopted with slight verbal amendments, as were those relating to precinct regis- ters. v Isidor Gutte caused a long debate when the clauses treating of elections and the canvass of votes came up for consideration, he proposing to amend sec- tion 10 by adding a provision that the counting of ballots begin as soon as forty votes were cast. The section was finally referred back to the committee with a recommendation that the clause be incorporated. —_——— ‘Will Breed Fine Horses. Articles of incorporation were filed yes- terday by the Rulnart Stock Farm, an organization composed of several promi- nent young attorneys of this city. For an object of incorporation the company has in view the development of a modern stock farm, at which fine blooded horses will be raised. The directors are H. H. McPike, Edward L. Rhodes, George B. Keane, Willlam L. Ashe and R. Porter Ashe. The Bell ranch at Beltaine, Sono- ma County, has been leased for a term of | | a3 I did. This was on January 7. “I saw the boys and told them what I had learned and they told me to go | down to the office and :hv e were nine of them, Daniel Deni- ey, Railroad, Pat McCue, a brother of Nelll Johnson, the blacksmith, and two others my nephew, Mr. Crowell, had brought in. So I went down to the office and found these men all fitted up in fine style, a big safe in the room and a lot of other things to take the eye. T had a ta'k with them and learned that I would get $25 a day working at my trade and that the other men would 3:30 get paid well for whatever they “Withey said we would each have to probably sixty-five men in the whole party. They were going to have a deep-water steamer and a boat to go up the Yukon, a dredger to swoop gold out of the water with and a lot of other things, as well as running several stores and letting the steamer stay in the ice in winter and be fitted up for lodgers at the rate of $5.a day. When I heard all this, says I to myself: ‘Mc- Carthy, you've struck a bonanza, but you want to go slow just the same.’ “You see, I didn’t notice then, but it comes to my mind now, that every time I went down there was a whispering and one man would always go ofit and then in a little while a lot of men would drop in and want to go In on the scheme. Then they would talk of the arrangements they were making for a vessel In the East and that two hun- dred men, all paid up, were coming out \ MOTHERS MiLk. FOR 46 )§ .

The recent election for officers for the Mercantile Library at which there was a tie vote for the office of president and a very close vote for a few of the directors | bas been set aside and a new election ordered to take place on the 24th inst.

H. A. Mayor, a Butcher of Los Angeles, in a Sad Pre- dicament. Fred Pries, a Wool Sorter on Harrlet Street, Also Mourns the Loss of His Children. Cases of wives deserted by their hus- bands are not infrequent in the police | courts, but the reverse side of the pic- | ture s seldom heard of, for the reason, | perhaps, that men do not care to make their domestic troubles public property. | Two cases of such desertion came to | light yesterday and the assistance of the police has been asked in each case | to find the erring wives and bring them | H. A. Mayor, a butcher in Los Ange- les, was d: rted by his wife about two weeks ago. He learned that she had come to this city with Gracie, her 7- year-old daughter. He arrived in the city Monday and discovered that his | wife had been living in the same house | with a man named Rooney and the lit- | tle girl had been boarding at the house of Miss Cunningham on Minna street, near Fourth. He went there and de- her up without the consent of Mrs. Mayor. ! Mayor went to his wife and begged | her for the sake of their three children | to return with him to Los Angeles. She pretended to consent, but that night | she packed her trunk during her hus- | band’s temporary absence and disap- | peared. Mayor has been unable to find | her whereabouts and yesterday after- roon he called at police headquarters and asked the assistance of the police in tracing his wife. He also stated that Miss Cunningham refused to give up possession of his little girl and he was | determined to have her. The mother had deserted the other two children, one older and one younger than Gracle. He was advised to consult one of the | prosecuting attorneys as to obtaining | possession of the girl and also as to what action he should take in regard to his wife. The police will meantime use every effort to trace the wife. The other case was that of Fred Pries, a wool sorter, living at 372 Har- riet street. He had been conflned to bed for a month with pleurisy and last Friday was the first time he had been able to leave the house for a short walk. When he returned he found that his wife had deserted him, taking with her their two young children. She left a note that she was tired of the life | she had been living with him and he | need not trouble looking for her or the | children. Pries, sick_as he was, started on a hunt for his” wife and Saturday night- he found her in a saloon on Sixth street with Frank Malley, a bartender. He tried to get her to come with him, but Malley interfered and knocked him down. He had Malley arrested for bat- tery and the case was called In Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday and was continued until to-morrow. Meantime Pries has asked the police to find his wife and two childre ELIZABE'I‘AH L. HAGER'S WILL. Relatives of the Deceased Bequeathed a Very Valuable Estate. The will of Mrs. Elizabeth L. Hager— widow of the late John 8. Hager, once Collector of the Port of San Francisco, who dled on the 25th of last month—was filed for probate yesterday. The estate disposed of by the will s a large one, and will probably reach several hundred thousands of dollars In value. The testatrix bequesths her Jjewelry, sllverware, g!ctures and wearing apgurel to her daughters, Emile, Alice and Ethel Hager_and her sons, Frank J. and Wil- liam P. Hicks. The property left the testatrix bg her husband is bequeathed to Frank 8. Hicks, Warren B. English and Arthur Rodgers, to be held in trust by them for the use of the three daugh- ters. The residue is given in trust to Robert J. Lucas and Frank S. Hicks for the five children of the deceased. The exeoutors of the will are Robert J. Lucas, a brother of the testatrix, who resides in St. Louis, Frank 8. Hicks of Los Angeles, Warren B. English, who resides in Oakland, and Arthur Rodgers of this city. Will Get the Limit. The case of James Horrigan, the drunk- en shoemaker on Siiver Heights, who drove his wife and thres children from home Monday night, was heard by Judge Low yesterday. Mrs. Horrigan testified that Horrigan, when drunk, used to knock her down and kick her and beat the chil- dren. He had also threatened to kill her and she believed he would carry out his threat. The children corroborated | their mother’s testimony, and Horrigan was convicted and ordered to appear for sentence this morning. —_——— Champagne Statistics.

LURING BOYS T0 BLIGHT THEIR LIVES Pupils of the Public Schools Betting on the Races. Place Their Money in the Poolrooms Like Old Garnbler/s. Their Conversation Tinged With the Slang of the Jockey and the Tout. POLICE DO NOT <‘ARE. Lads Who Boast of Their Winnings or anont'he “Tips” Which Made Them Lose. Here are a startling serles of facts. Boys of San Francisco not only have the privilege of betting on races, but they are encouraged to do so. Men who must be devoid of all conscience accept the money of the youngsters and make returns sufficient to keep the gambling spirit alive among children. Lads wager their money freely. No matter how they obtain it, they have no right to thus waste it, and they should be protected even against the knowledge which enables them to in- vest in chance. Probably the information will come with a shock to parents and cause them to wonder why such a state of affairs is permitted. There can be no answer unless that the police are blind. There is no question but it should be stopped at once. Any man who re- ceives the money of a boy in this way is a criminal, 2 menace to the com- munity, debaucher of morals, a crea- tor of thieves, in a word, a dangerous character. Yet the unholy system, is not inierfered with although there is a police force supposed to regulate such | matters and even now a Grand Jury in session. “Say, fellers, I've got to be put next or I blow the whole show. You chumps haven’t been touting me worth a cent, and last week I quit $6 out. It don't go. You fellers got on the inside and you are jingling dough by the fist full and I am broke.” Nearly a dozen boys ranging in ages from fourteen to eighteen years were talking in the yard of the Adams Cos- mopolitan School on Eddy street yes- terday telling of their luck with the race horses the week before, and one of them was lamenting his losses. “I told you to get down good and hard on O’Connell,” one of the group replied, “but you thought you knew it all. You don’t deserve to travel in our set If you can’t take a hint without having a house fall on you. Next time just watch us and you will wear dia- monds.” “I am not kicking about that, but you told me to play Buck Massie. All you fellers said he was a hot favorite and sure to win, and I dropped another dollar on that tip. Then you gave me Lucky Dog for a good thing, butheblew up in the stretch and where did I get off? There is no jingle in that pocket now. I will go it alone after this and see what luck I will have. I would rather take Cohen’s tips than your’s. ‘When I played them I always had some dough.” Cohen conducts a poolroom in a room of the lodging-house at 361 Geary street. Boys are his particular patrons and a crowd of the pupils of the Adams Cosmopolitan School are frequent vis- itors of the place. According to reports of many of the pupils of the school playing the races is a common pastime among a number of the scholars. It is reported that last week Ed Conroy won $35. Bert Spring also made a good winning, but how much he is too well versed in the practices of the track to tell. Arthur Allen came out of the week's betting $5 ahead, and Fred Benson also claims to be a winner. Paul Fitz- morris lost a small sum and then quit for the week. Harold Spring, it is re- ported by the pupils, also made a win- ning. A number of other boys, it is claimed, join these lads in their ven- tures making pools of a few nickels each and placing their money on fa- vorites picked by those who- claim to be better posted on the ways of the | horses. Most of the money, the boys say, is handled by Cohen, who Kkeeps a com- mission place at 86% Geary street. There they buy the pools, sending one of their number to the place at noon recess to put up the money and calling for their winnings if there should be any after school closes. ADVERTISEMENTS.
