THE SAN FRANOCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1899 played in the out of town and Montana poolrooms. The black horse True Briton is certainly a groduner of speed and gameness. Bona, while a trifie undersized, fought it out every inch of the way, and with an equal break might have given Golden Rule an argument. TO—DB,;;I Entries.

DE MUTH, ex-lieutenant colonel of the Second Mis- souri Volunteer Infantry, and a leading citizen of S dalia, Mo., is in this city on busi ness, and is régistered at the Pal- ace. Colonel de Muth was encamped with his regiment at Chickamauga Park during hostilities, and was in a position to make many ‘observa- tions. He stated that the rations given his regiment were whole- some. “At times,” he said, ‘‘we were given rotten beef furnished by unscrupulous army contractors, but as soon as we discovered its condition we simply threw it away. “While T can’t say that General Eagan was incompetent to fill the important office of quartermaster general, yet I think he, like other old army officers, was in a rut, and when the army was enlarged to 200,000 men he was simply over- whelmed and was unable to cope with his responsibilities.” In speaking of the lessons taught the nation by the war, Colonel de Muth called attention to the care- lessness and incompetency of the medical department. He thinks many lives might have been saved had there been a better system used in that important branch of the service. The colonel does not look for any trouble in Cuba on the part of the insurgents. He says all that the latter want is to be paid for their long service in the field and then be permitted to disband so that they can return to their former occupations. Colonel de Muth is a leading Republican in his section of the country. > @C4+04040404040404040404+04 04040404040404040404040+40 MYSTERIOUS SMITH [IKEY BAIN'S MONEY CQMIN@_WESTWARD' ATTACHED BY A DUPE HE IS MATCHED TO FIGHT THE | DR.

The following story on Fitzsimmons is told by Charley White, a well known New York referee. He contends that Fitzsim- mons has a penchant for punching holes in the carcasses of dead animals. At any | rate the White “yarn’ makes pretty fair reading. The following is an extract from an Eastern paper: During the days when Fitz had not risen to | his present exaited pugilistic position he was always on the lookout to test his hitting pow- | ers, and never overlooked an opportunity to | fet fiy his huge fists at some inanimate object. About four years ago Fitz was in Boston with | White, who was then training him for a fight. Fitz had a mania for hitting with his fists dressed hogs or sheep hanging on hooks in { front of butcher shops. Nothing pleased him better than to pass a butcher shop, and, when the proprietor was not looking, take a smash | at the body of a hog. White, on such occa- sions, would be his lookout, and give him the tip When the coast was clear to pummel the | object. White told me that whenever Fitz let drive with his right he would fnvariably eut the flesh of the sheep or hog as clean as a knife | and sink his fist to the ribs, Fitz told White | that this was the nearest approach he could | | | charged and the defendants be allowe to wend their way thence.

Acting Police Judge Barry Dismisses the Case Against the Five Boys in the Mission. The preliminary examination of Oscar Wilson, Charles White, Charles Troleson, Charles Burke and Frank Pardini, the five boys charged with attemptiag to wreck a train on the Southern Pacific track between Army and Twenty-sixth streets last Wednesday morning, was held before Acting Police Judge Barry yester- day afternoon. Attorney Kelly prose- cuted, and the boys were defended by At- torneys Glover and Caldwell. Special Officer Madden, who arrested the boys, testified to seeing them on the track with a basketful of stones, which was thrown on the track against one of the rails. He asked the boys what they were doing, and they replied they were play- ing. “He took them back and made them remove the basketful of stones from the track. About a minute afterward a pas- senger train for San Jose passed the spot. It was possible for the train to have been derailed if the stones had not been removed. Daniel Carmody, gatekeeper at the Army street crossing. corroborated Mad- den’s testimony, and E. B. Stanwood, c¢on- ductor of the San Jose train. testified to passing the spot and seeing Madden and the boys there. Charles White and Oscar Wilson, two of the hoys, testified that they were play ing Chinaman and had no thought of wrecking a train. They did not attempt to run away when Madden came up to them and told him_what they had been doing. Rev. F. A. Doane testified to the White boy's good character and said he was_the principal support of a widowed mother. The Judge said it was unnecessary to argue the case and dismissed It.

On ona occa- gion Fitz, while walking along with White, spied a_magnificent hog hanging on a hook in front of a butcher shop whose proprietor had been annoyed more than once by having the sides’ of gome of his livestock spiit by the Dbrawny fists of thé blacksmith. The butcher had been on the alert for some time to catch the guilty party, so when Fitz took a smash at his porker and split the flesh as clean as a Kknife he seized a cleaver and, with a yell that would have dome credit to a Comanche, he rushed at Fitz. White, at the first sign of dan- ger, was off like a_grayhound, velling to Fitz to fun. Fitz, with his heart in his throat, got up on his toes and tore after White with the speed of a quarter-horse. T The irate butcher pursued the pair for several blocks, swinging his cleaver like a madman A crowd followed at his heels, and there was | the biggest kind of an uproar in the neighbor- | hood. The butcher's wind was bud, however, and Fitz and White, by making use of several alleys, finally managed to give him the slip. | After ‘this experience Fitz told White that he thought it best to give up punching the exhib- its of butchers. —_—————————— * BIG RISK, SMALL GAIN. A Bold Piece of Extortion Practiced | Upon a Mission Driver. The officers of the Society for the Pre-| vention of Cruelty to Animals were yes- terday informed that a person represent- ing himself to be an officer for the so- clety was extorting money from people in the Mission. According to the story, he called upon John Listel, driver of a wagon belonging to a laundry at 2228 Seventeenth street, and asserted that the man's horse was lame, although su¢h was not the case. The person demanded $1 for a pre- scription, saying that he would have to condemn the horse if the money was not paid. Rather than to have any trouble the money was handed over and the pre- scription given. ‘ Yesterday Listel reported the matter to Mr. Holbrook, secretary of the society, and handed him the card given by the person who demanded the dollar. = The card was that of Dr. W. H. Jones, a vet- erinary surgeon who is located near Sixth and Harrison streets. As the man who demanded the money answers the de- scription of Dr. Jones, the advice was gl\'cn to have the offender —arrested. ‘hief Leés has instructed Officer Hooper, who is attached to the society, to look into the matter, as Dr. Jones is in no way connected with that body. — e e———— New Reilroad Map of California, With a view to issuing a new raiiroad map of California, Secretary Sesnon of the Railroad Commission is busy sending out letters to all the railroads in the State asking for the necessary information. The most important addition to the map will be the completed line of the Valley road, from ersfield to Point Rich- mond. It is expected the new map will be ready in two months, Can a Bootleg Steam Beer Schooner Be Ccnsidred a Wine Bottle? Burt M. Thomas, Special Internal Rev- enue Agent, yesterday notified the keepers | of French and Ttalian restaurants where red wine is served with meals that they must supply their customers with wine in stamped bottles and that the glass pitchers and tumblers in which wine is now being served are merely subterfuges to evade the payment of the war tax. Some of the restaurant men said that they would comply with the order, which means a tax of 10 cents a gallon on wine which they buy for 20 cents, and which, in their estimation, means an oppressive and discriminating tax of 50 per cent ad valorem. They point to the fact that the saloon- keepers, who sell the same quality and brand of wine for 5 cents and 10 cents a glass, or at the rate of from $1 50 to $3 per gallon, are exempted from the pay- ment of the war tax, and may fill their bottles as_often as they choose. It is probable that a test case will be made to_determine the question as to whether a bootleg steam beer schooner becomes a bottle when wine instead of beer is put into it. ———— Smyth Reappointed Handicapper.

The Latter Will Press His Mandamus Suit to Compel Payment of His Clerks’ Sal- aries. The Supervisors are preparing for the annual struggle over the fixing of_the water rates to which so much scandal has attached in recent years. The matter which is of so much importance to the residents of this city will be discussed by the board, sitting as a committee of the whole, to-morrow night. Supervisor Phelps, who is chairman of the Water Committee, made a determined effort to have the question first considered by that committee, but this motion was lost, there being six for and the same number against such action. It was the last matter considered by the board at its usual weekly meeting yesterday. The de- bate was precipitated by Supervisor Lack- mann moving that when the board ad- journed it do so to meet again Wednesday evening to coasider water rates. In re- sponse to a question Mayor Phelan said that the company was in contempt of the board at the present time in not having complied with its request for a complete statement of its expenses. Supervisor Perrault asked if in the past the Supervisors did not have to take what the water company was willing to give in the way of information. To this Mayor Phelan replied innocent- ly: “Other boards have taken all they could get.” The answer created a general laugh as memories of boodling boards flu:! ed across the minds of those pres- ent. ‘Chairman Phelps of the Water Commit- tee claimed the right to conduct the in- vestigation. The Mayor showed him that in the past it had been the custom for the board to consider the matter, and he doubted if the rate would stand as legal if fixed by the committee. Supervisor Perrault reminded his fellow members on the board that their political future de- pends upon the way they vote on the wa- ter and gas question and they should be glad to have the burden of responsibility borne equally by all the members. It was tinally determined to have the investiga- tion by the board in its entirety. The of- ficers of the company will be cited to ap- pear witn the books and papers which will contain the information upon which the board will fix the rates. The meeting developed the fact that the fight_between the board and iax Collec- tor Sheehan had broken out again. Su- rvisor Perrault asked that the Finance Committee be empowered to employ spe- clal counsel to defend the board in the mandamus proceedings brought by the Tax Collector. Supervisor Phelps thought that the judiciary committee was the proper one to employ such men if they were required. After an extended dis- cussion the Mayor informed the warring factions that the special counsel fund had been overdrawn to the extent of $¥77 by the previous board. This put a stop to the discussion at once. During the dis- cussion Supervisor Perrault told of the in- vestigations he had made in the office of the Tax Collector to determine the num- Dber of clerks he really required. He sald he had come to the conclusion that eight were sufficlent. There was a conflict of opinion among_Mr. Sheehan’s deputies, each giving a different estimate. He un- derstocd the mandamus proceedings would be pregsed against the board. There was a sharp struggle over the re- moval of the corporation yard of the Street Department. It was on the recon- sideration of the resolution causing the removal. Chairman Algeltinger of the Street Committee and Deputy Donovan, representing Superintendent - of Streets Fragler, favored the change. They held that the present site is too small and in addition some money has already been spent in refitting the new quarters. George T. Marye Jr., owner of the former vard, agreed to pay whatever expense had i:een incurred. The board by a vote of & to 4 decided to stand by their former action, so the yard will be moved. An effort was made to take the Mayor's veto of the bid for the furnishing of the Hall .of Justice out of the hands of the Building Committee. Chairman Holland of the committee explained that a meet- ing had been arranged for to-day, at which the matter will be considered and a report presented at the next meeting of the board. Upon this showing the matter went over. The request of a drugstore proprietor on Powell street to erect an electric sign was refused. The erection of these signs is against the law, but the board has the power to grant them as special privileges. They gave permission for the placing of a horseshoe on a Third-street bundlng. City and County Attorney Lane has submitted an opioinn to the Supervisors upon the question of the Grand Jury em- ploying experts. The question developed over the employment of E. C. Kirkpatrick and A. W. Atherton to probe the workings of the former Board of Education. At- torney Lane holds that the jury can give employment to but one expert at a time. Under this ruling, both these men cannot be paid, as they were in addition to the regular expert. A resolution passed instructing the clerk of the board to request the San Francisco delegation to the Legislature to give the matter of the proposed amend- ment permitting the payment of the asso- ciated creditors of the city their attention and support. Supervisor Aigeltinger presented a reso- lution calling for the rigid enforcement of the license required of persons soliciting roperty-owners to sign private contracts. 'his 18 to protect property-owners from the solicitation of irresponsible persons. No permit will be granted unless the pro- visions of the resolutions are complied with. The duration of time in which street work shall be done is fixed at not to exceed six months from the date the permit is granted by the board.

Morz Witnesses for the Defense Tes- | tify, but Nothing Important ‘ Is Brought Out. | The preliminary examination of Mrs. | Elizabeth Regan, charged with the mur- der of Policeman Kennedy, was conti ued before Judge Graham yesterday. Mis Olive McLaughlin, a sister of the defend- ant, was under cross-examination the | most of thé day, but nothing of impor- tance was elicited. | Policeman John Porter testified to Mrs. | Regan telling him while she had the sa- loon at Fourteenth and Mission streets | that Kennedy had a revolver with which he was going to shoot her and that she | took it from him. She did not complain against him as he had just joined the | force and it might “break him.” Mrs. Vietoria \Vflgner was again on the stand. She testified that Gertrude Sohr- man, Kennedy's lancee, had told her that she had been with a young man named Nolan in November or December at the | theater and that after the theater they had oysters and champagne. Gertrude had_told her that she was not engaged to Kennedy and was keeping him and No- | lan on ‘“‘the string.”” ‘The testimony was stricken_out of the record. Mrs. Wagner admitted that she was bitterly hostile to Kennedy and that the feeling had been reciprocated. McCarthy. a street contractor, testified to having seen Kennedy fre-| quently calling upon Mrs. Regan and re- maining for hours with her. The ci will probably be closed to-day, when M Regan will take the stand. Attorney Barrett for the prosecution states that he has ascertained that An- drew McDevitt, the young man who tes- | tified for the defense Friday. is a mar-| ried man and has a wife and two chil- dren in the city. McDevitt testified that he was a single man. He was a lodger in the house, 232 Chenery street. — s —— HARRY ELKES IS HERE. Looking for the fic;lé of Cycler Jim- my Michael. Harry Elkes, the American middle-dis- tance champlon cycle racer, arrived here last night. Elkes comes for the expres: purpose of getting on a match with Jim- my Michael, the “Welsh rarebit,” who is now here. Michael has met and defeated every middle-distance rider of note in this | country and Europe, except Elkes. The latter has only earned his title as cham- | plon during the past six months, and now feels himself eligible to a race, having “got a reputation.” Elkes' father accompanies him as his manager. Elkes' greatest victory was earned about a month ago, when he de- feated Eddie McDuffie, who once gained a victory over Michael by over a quarter of a mile in a fifteen mile paced match. Michael will have his hands full with matches during his sojourn on the coast. “Baby” Gibson of Cincinnati arrived here | last week for the avowed purpose of get ting on a match with the Welshman. and now comes Elkes, with no other object in view. Both men are young and strong | riders, and with proper pacing distance.
