8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 18 INDICTED FOR GRAND LARCENY Schwartz, Who Made Bogus Diamonds, to Come Back. The Grand Jury Returns a True Count Against Him.

Joseph Schwartz, the diamond king, was indicted by the Grand Jury yester- day for robbing Wolfsohn & Livingston, Jewelers, of $ Schwartz was arrested in Seattle a short time ago, but through the influence of Governor Rogers he man- aged to escape the consequences of his crime.

He exhibited a number of dia- | monds which he claimed he was anxious | to sell in order that he might realize suf- ficient money to return to his home in the East. The pawnbrobers, thinking the stones were genuine, advanced him con- siderable money. His scheme was to go to some pawnbroker and by representing that he had received the uiamonds from some friend who was engaged in the jew- | elry business, and who was anxious to | dispose of the gems at a ridiculously low | figure, ask him to advance him sufficient money to tide him over his present diffi- culties.

The Missing Girl Was Not a Passen- ger on the City of Puebla. | No trace has vet been found of the missing Irene Lynch, the young musical prodigy who disappeared on the after- noon of March 9. It was said that she had taken passage on the steamer City | of Puebla that left the city about a week ago for Puget Sound ports, but the father of the missing girl met the vessel | at Victorla on its arrival there, racing with it by train from here, but his | daughter had not been on the vessel. The father is beginning to think that his daughter has met with foul play, as no trace can be found of her after she left her home at 524 Geary street with the intention of going to the store of Kohler & Chase on the afternoon of the day she | disappeared. Irene Lynch is 14 old, but she is well developed for her age and would pass for 16. She is 5 feet 4 inches in height and has dark hair and hazel eyes. She wore a purple dress, | pink sifk waist, light jacket and black straw sailor hat with a plain band. She | had a scar on the left side of the face, | extending from the corner of the mouth | o below the point of the chin. The scar | was occasioned by a fall when she was 2 child. She wears her hair combed | back from her forehead. | B | | | THE MASONIC FES1IVAL. Its General Committee Hold an Im- | ij. portant Meeting in Solo- | mon’s Hall. The general committee of the Masonic Festival met in Solomon’s Hall last even- ing with Charles L. Patton in the chair. There was a large attendance and much enthusiasm was manifested. The work necessary to the success of the festival | is rapidly progressing and will soon be in shape. The hall and decoration commit- | tee reported that the Mechanics’ Pavilion had been officially secured for the festi- val. The press committee reported that | season tickets would be sold for $1, good for both afternoon and evening. There will be 10,000 of these tickets. The gen- | eral price of admission will be % cents. | The donation_and subscription commit. tee reported that it had completed o ganization. The military committee re- gorled that the California, Golden Gate, | acramento, Oakland and 'San Jose drill | corps would meet in competitive drill. The booth committee will meet next Tues. day in the hall at 3 o’clock. The genera tenor of the meeting showed that every- one was working hard, and it is expected that the festival will be the greatest suc- | cess that the Masons have ever given in this city. e Should Consumptives Marry? This query is the keynote of a strong editorial in this week's Town Talk, and also that of the storiette from real life, entitled “An Experiment That Failed.” Miss Bertha Herzog has a romantic tale of two rival suitors for a fair San Fran- ciscan’s hand. The Saunterer tells why James Alva Watt no longer admires a National Guard officer's uniform, and re- counts the latest gossip in the society and rolll!cal swim. A fine critique upon the ast symphony and Marteau; also of minor events in the musical world, with able reviews of the theatrical events and the newest book talk are features of the number. b ———————— Her Foot Crushed.

Torpedoes Stored at Goat Island May Be Used for Harbor Defense. ENGINEERCORPSRETICENT Cilizens Are Not Allowed to Visit the Station Nor to Land on the Island. Yesterday Captain Charles E. Clark, commanding the battle-ship Oregon, received orders from Washington to sail for Cailao. The hour named in the order for sailingwas 10 o’clock last “evening, but late last night the officers did not expect to steam out of the har- bor before 7 o'clock this morning. The Oregon is deep in the water, having on board 1600 tons of coal, 400 tons of am- munition and a full line of stores for a long cruise. The ship will probably make the run to Callao within sixteen or seventeen days. Despite the hurry and bustle inci- dent on preparing for sea, there was time for merriment on board the bat- tle-ship Oregon yesterday. Every of- ficer off duty, every man on the sick list, every idler generally was laugh- ing over a newspaper, and the cause for laughter was the large pictures of the Oregon’s decks which were lished yesterday. Every epithet of scorn which the exhaustive naval vo- cabulary contains was heaped upon the head of the artist who perpetrated this stupendous nder. Full of zeal, but knowing nothing of nautical af- fairs, the photc pher had climbed to | the fightigg top, half way up the great military mast of the ship. From there he took two pictures, one of each end of the ship. Unfortunately, having taken the pictures, he was unable to tell which end was which. So the yel- low faker came out with a great pic- ture of the forward deck, and labeled it grandiloguently “Below all grace- fully sweeps b quarter-deck, the captain’s domain.” In the same way the quarter-deck, with its clean, well- holystoned planks and orderly ar- rangement, as mistaken for the store encumbered forecastle. sany of the crew, however, were too busy to laugh.

Ellinwood at Cooper Medical College last night. This was the second of a series of lectures on the same subject, to which the most eminent men of the medical profession have of late been preparation for sea. “We are all ready now to go anywhere,” remarked an officer. “As soon as the telegram with our orders comes we can sail.” Early in the forenoon the tug Una- dilla came alongside, bringing a num- ber of sailors and marines, who were added to the crew. The ship’s com- plement, numbering over 400 men, is now complete, The most important operation of the | day was the exchange of the old Lee rifles, with which the crew has hither- to been armed, for a new and greatly | improved magazine gun. The old weapons, With the ammunition belong- ing to them, were passed on board the Unadilla by a long string of men and the new rifles stowed away in their racks on the battle-ship. This new rifle, constructed on the magazine principle, embodies all the most recent scientific improvements in small arms. than the old weapon, and the bore is extremely small, only about the size of a pea. The breech is chambered to receive a large charge of powder, and thus an enormous muzzle velocity is obtained. The gun is sighted for 2000 yards, and the trajectory is so low that the bullet would hit a man in the line of fire during the whole of that distance. Up to 800 yards the range is point blank, that is to say, the sights do not require elevating at all. |It is a terrible weapon, from which it is futile to run away, neither is it any use to hide behind a tree, for the bul- let will easily penetrate three feet of timber. The magazine holds five charges, which are inserted at once by means of a metal clip. The marks- man has only to pull the trigger and aim, the gun does the rest, and thus great rapidity of fire can be obtained. On the upper deck a whole host of men were busy cleaning the rapid-fir- ing and machine guns, others were polishing the brass rails of the super- structure, while sailors with paint pots were wiping out alt traces of the coal dust which so recently enshrouded the ship. “This is war paint,” observed one humorous tar, as he carefully whit- ened the base of a turret. The officers of the engineer corps ot the United States army who are on duty in this division are reticent con- cerning operations at the torpedo sta- tion on Goat Island. A The Government has a vast quantity 6f torpedo material housed at this station, but the precincts are so carefully guarded against the in- trusion of non-combatants that definite information regarding war preparations is_difficult to obtain. It is the established policy to main. tain as much secrecy as possible con- cerning the number, character and lo- cation of torpedoes. The engineer officers serving at this station strictly conform to the custom. Colonel Charles R. Suter, chief of the Pacific Division, and Major Charles E. L. B, Davis firm« ly but courteously decline to impart any intelligence concerning prepara- tions to plant torpedoes for the defense of this harbor. Applicatfon for per~ mission to visit Goat Island is_denied. Major Davis remarked yesterday that no one was allowed to land on the is- land without the consent of the mil. tery authorities having charge of this particular reservation. = It was ex- plained that the Government had to ex- ercise the utmost care to keep the preparations secret. The first order forbidding civilians to land was issued because some careless picnickers start- ed a fire which caused some damage to Government property. Since then the authorities instead of relaxing in the regulations have adopted additionax rules against outside intrusion. The station at Goat Island contains several kinds of torpedoes, among them the Semmes, the automobiie and the or- dinary fish torpedo. If great emer- gency for immediate preparation should arise, the engineers might be able with- in ten days to place effective torpedoes in position for instant use against an enemy’s ship. The channel between Fort Point and Lime Point is so narrow that torpedoes could be readily launch- ed and controlled from the shore. giving special attention. Captain W, E.

The surgeons at the hospital, after ex- amining Pergrim’'s wound, gave it as thefr opinion that he would not live many hours. Although brought in . in an ap- parently dying condition, his wonderful vitality kept him alive until last night when he breathed his last. As he passed away he was surrounded by his wife and several friends. Mrs. Pergrim became hysterical when she realizea that her hus- band could not survive the wound, and it was with difficulty that she could be re- strained.

Swallows a Dose of Morphine in the Presence of His Wife. Says His Domestic Troubles Led to the Committing of the Rash Act Despondent over his wife's refusal to longer live with him, John Skinner, aged 35, attempted to commit suicide last night by swallowing the contents of a two-ounce vial of morphine. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Tormey, with the aid of a stomach pump, relieved him of the poi- son. Several weks ago Skinner had trouble with his mother-in-law, with the result that she influenced her daughter not to longer live with her husband. Accord- ing to his statement, his wife, after lis- - tening to the story of her mother, re- fused to speak to him. As they hava two children, he begged her for tha sake of their offspring to reconsider her determination. She ordered him away, so he claims, and, despite his en~ treaties, she continued to ignore him. After brooding over the matter and re- alizing the futility of further speaking to his wife upon the subject, he deter- mined to kill himself. Yesterday aft- erncon he purchased the poison, and, going to his wife's home, 1724 O'Farrell street, begged her to take him in. She replied that she had no further use for him, and ordered him away. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he took out the bottle of poison, and after bidding her good-by swallowed thecon= tents. As he started to walk away he turned to her and said, “Don’t let them take me to the Morgue, because they will cut me up. Take care of our children, May, and may God forgive you.” After uttering the words he fell upon the sidewalk, and his wife, becoming alarmed, summoned a friend, who tele- phoned to the O'Farrell-street Station. The patrol wagon was at once sent to the scene and the unfortunate man re- moved to the Receiving Hospital. After considerable difficulty Dr. Tormey suc- ceeded in relieving him of the poison. Skinner said last night that his mother-in-law. whose name he refused to divulge, was responsible for his trouble. He claims that since he mar- ried his wife she has been constantly annoying him. “My wife and I got along all right until my mother-in-law appeared upon the scene. She made my life unbear- able for me so that I found it neces- | sary to complain to my wire, and then | my troubles began.

G. T. Marsh of this city made a mistake in this direction. Yonetro Fkumoto, the owner of a Japanese bazaar, owed Marsh about $4000, which he promised to pay on February 2. A while before that date there was a fire in the store, and the | proprietor obtained $3000 from the insur- | ance companies for the damages to the premises and stock. After the fire claims | had been paid, he began to hold daily | auqgion sales. 'On the day set for the | payment of the money Marsh went, l0 the store and found the employes pack- ing and moving the stock, but the credi- tor could not find where the proprietor was. Civil action had already been be- gun for the recovery of the money. Marsh thought he was in a fair way to lose the amount stated, and he filed in the Superior Court an affidavit to the effect that the debtor was about to leave the State and was removing his stock so as to' defraud his creditors. On this affidavit a warrant of arrest was issued for Fkumoto, who a little later was landed in the County Jail. Through his lawyer he sought to obtain his liberty on a writ of habeas corpus, and he “was Successful. The Supreme Court yester- | day decided that the warrant of arrest E“‘a‘s void for the reason that the afidavit | was defective, as it did not comply with | the statutes sufficiently to justifv arrest | and detention. Marsh's affidavit was | based on information and heliaf solelv, | zrl’;aldedid not state facts of afflant’s knowl- edge. And further he should have taken some pains to have leaiie. oA Whether the Jap was leaving the State and where the goods were being taken. — e La Ligue d’Henri IV Banquet. The annual banquet of La Ligue d'Henrl 1V will take place in Native Sons’ Hall to-morrow, and it is expected that most of the members and their frier;ds will pan) d make the occasion memol D ke history of the society, which is composed of about four hundred of French-speaking citizens. Cards of in- vitation have been issued and are now in the hands of the committee having the affair in charge. April 4 When the union first announced 1ts intention of doing this a canvass was made, and there was but little or no op- position. The proprietors have held sev- eral meetings since that time, however, and the road is not so smooth as it at first ns;penred to be. ‘Several joint confer- ences have been held by committees from the union and the proprietors, but no defi- nite settlement has as yet been made. Many of the larger offices have consented o the new schedule, and the union is in hope that there will be no trouble, al- though in some cases it seems almost in- evitable. .

The Oakland union is seriosuly consider- ing the proposition of joining in with the local body, and making a demand for a shorter work day at the same time. To- day a new paper, issued by the Berkeley strikers, will make its debut, and the union men on both sides of the bay are enthusiastic in wishing it success. A meeting of the bookbinders was held last evening, and after a short confer- ence with a delegation present from the T)"mgraphical and Printing Pressmen's Unions the bookbinders decided to take no part in the coming struggle. The book- binders are very weak, and as they could do but little if anything to strengthen the cause they decided to withdraw for the present. — e Death ox Freder.ck Conrad.
