Allen, charged with defrauding John Ludeman on the Win- ters Hotel deal, took place to-day fn the Police Court. The prosecution had inti- | mated that one of the most important | witnesses for the defense, John Langlitz, was a myth. By this witness' testimony Allen hoped to show that he himself had been imposed upon, in that he had ac- | cepted an assignment of a mortgage from litz without question. Every effort was made to secure Lang- litz's attendance, but without avafl, al- | though it was established that such a | man does exist. Decision as to whether Allen will be held to_answer for felony will be rendered next Monday. | { | | | | 1 Delinquent Property Sold.

'SHE WANTS CHIEF LEES’ SCALP. Clara Thropp, the Runaway Actress of the Comedy Theater, and Her Many ES, they have me arrested on some felony embezzlement charge, but I don’'t care about that particularly. There i8 just one man in this town I really want to see—that man Lees—Po- lice Chief, I think they call him. He wrote that description of me to secure sud said I looked like a woman in the last stages of consumption. If I can find him he will be sorry for this.” The foregoing forcible remarks were made yesterday afternoon by Miss Clara ‘Thropp, the promoter of the ‘‘Where's Matilda?”’ company at the Comedy The- ater, who skipped the town the other day leaving her company to its fate. Miss Thropp was cooling her anger in the detectives’ room of the City Hall, waiting to learn if she was to be put be- hind the bars on the charge of felony embezzlement preferred by M. B. Leav~ itt, the well-known theatrical manager. “Yes,” continued the young woman as she gave her silk skirt a vicous shake, ““1 did leave the town without due notice, and it was for the good of my company. I had demanded that $10 each should be paid to the fifteen members of the organ- ation with which to pay board bills. This was refused, and I left the town. 1 could have got away easily, but I was not trying to run away. My departure had the desired effect, for my understudy carrfed my part, and there was money forthcoming for those dreadful board bills. I don't understand Mr. Leavitt's system, and the result is that we don’t agree on what I owe him. He claimed everything in sight to wipe out an alleged indebtedness to him. I claim that he is in my debt. “Yes, it is true, this looks like a big advertising scheme, but somehow I can't ee how I can get off without explaining to headquarters my connection with the trouble. I feel that I am abused, but {n].:{ be T am not. The courts can decide “Mr, Leavitt reminds me of a famous character in one of Ibsen’s works. I don’t need to name him. What 1s the’ foundation for this statement? Well, when I saw that my company was a fall- Dire Troubles. ure here T was asked why I did not find an angel.” Miss Thropp blushed, tore another piece out of her gloye and énvigusly looked at a detective who went out of the room without permission. H “Will you appear to-night?”’ was asked. “I expect to. 1 have made certain prom- ises to play this evening and Sunday matinee and night if I am taken out of the hands of this man Lees and not prose- cuted on this charge. I don’t see how I am to be boomed very much on this prop- osition at this late date, unless get astride of a mule to-morrow, and with sandwich boards parade the streets with the anouncement of my reappearance.” | The managerial end of the complication has a grievance in the shape of a claim against the gentle Clara for $62). The | three final performances are expected to satisfy the demand of clamorous land- lords for those “awful board bills,” and the other differences will be adjusted at some remote date Manager Bilinghouse says the escape of Miss Clara was very detrimental to business and that she has “queered her- self” with Eastern booking firms. How- ever, the young lady who would like to ulverize Chief Lees for describing her eatures in the cold, heartless official way has had one piece of good fortune on her Western trip. She succeeded in getting married at Leadville. This was accomplished *“with the knowledgeé and consent’”” of her brother and without the knowledge of her company. ¥ The sequel to this drama is to eome, but Miss Thropp is convinced that she would rather barnstorm one nnéht ands than undertake to ever charm San Fran- cisco theater foers with her raw ‘cock- ney accent and varied eccentricities.

SAN LEANDRO'S SUCCESS BRILLIANT PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE. Chairman Hawes Tells of His Expe- rience in Trying to Help the Public Help Itself. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 28. B. C. Hawes, the chairman of the ex- ecutive committee having in charge the task of establishing a large cannery at San Leandro, has issued a report, which shows how much work is necessary in or- der to arouse public spirit sufficiently to induce it to loosen its purse strings even when the public is to be ben=fited. Preparations are now being made to build the large King-Morse cannery at San Leandro. Nearly two years ago the project was broached, and since that time the committee has been steadily working, and ultimately succeeded in raising $5234. The report, which contains many sug- gestions of insincerity on the part of pledged subscribers, says, in part: “While in the main the committee is pleased to report that the majority of subscribers willingly redeemed their promise, there was a large minority that caused untold labor before they could be induced to pay their subscription. This, of‘course, has no reference to those whom misfortune has overtaken in the interim between signature on petition and call for payment, as the committee was sensible to that fact, and always met them in a compromising way; but there was a large number who could pay, yet endeavored by many means to avoid it. To this class was due the fact that the committee was compelled to ask several extensions of the time allotted. “Qur secretary, Mr. Frank, was instruct- ed to use every honorable means to promote collections, and, while his exer- tions were in a measure fruitful, the nec- essary or promised amount could not be got together. last resort the committec issued an appeal to people who had not previously subscribed, and this had the desired effect, as not only the promised sum was secured, but also a sufficient amount was collected to defray all expenses.”” Considerable trouble was also experi enced in securing a proper block of land but eventually one was found, and of this transaction the report says: “In the matter of purchasing the site the committee was beset with difficulties, not only in the selection of the site to suit the purpose in its manifold details, but to purchase it on reasonable terms. “After negotiating with numerous par- ties we finally purchased block 40, known | The owner, how-| as the Curtin_ block. ever, is a resident of Montana, and a gentieman who in this_deal exercised some peculiar notions. To dlsfllpate‘these of ex- planation, legal, . ther, but. after three months finally concluded to "deliver the which brought us another step nearer in the direction of getting the cannery.” In_conclusion Chairman Hawes gives the following advice: ““The committee further hopes that the people of San Leandro and vicinity will at all times exercise friendly considera- tion toward the people who are planting another industry in our beautiful city of San Leandro. Let us trust that this new enterprise will prove an object of as much pride as our two other manufac- tories, namely the Danlel Best Agricul- tural works and the Hay Press Manufa tory of_our colleague on this committee, L. 'C. Morehouse. Let us further hope that our industries will muitiply in the future and our city double its population within the next five years. “Before concluding” my report of the executive committee, 1 desire to express my sincere appreciation of the constant courtesy extended to me by the individual members of the executive committee, and further beg to acknowledge that at all meetings the utmost harmony prevailed and all deliberations were accompanied with ever present good feeling and an earnest desire to serve the best interest of this association, the business men of our city of San Leandro and the fruit growers of this section of Alameda County. SCOFIELD NOT A HERO. o Mystery Surrounding an Alameda Footpad Story Cleared Up. ALAMEDA, Oct. 28.—The mystery sur- rounding the assault on Sam Scofield has been cleared away. It was not a case of footpads, and Scofield did not knock out an army ‘of highwaymen, as he an- nounced. #The Scofield yarn turns out to have been a fistic misunderstanding be- tween the would-be hero and Frank Bart- Jett, son of Columbus Bartlettand nephew of the late Governor Bartlett, What adds interest to the case is the prominence of the young men's families. Scofield and Bartlett spent the evening together on Park street last Saturday night, and after midnight started to walk They conversed on various mat- ters, and all went well until Scofleld passed some snghung remark about a young lady who stood high in Bartlett's esteem. The latter at once resented the statements and Chnllengefl his companion to a deadly combat. They squared away, and Bartlett, who Is much the smaller man of the two, soon had his antagonist rolling in the gutter. Scofleld, covered with ilood. went to the Park Hotel and told that he had been assaulted by foot- pads and that, although there had been three of them, he had managed after a hard struggle to vanquish the whole out- artlett went home and said nothing. He was seen this evening and corroborat- ed the story as-given here. Scofield was not to be seen to-night. e ———— Greenwell Located.
