While they were disturbed they were not surprised at the action taken on Monday by the Board of Supervisors. Corrigan and his fellows have anticipated in this city the rebellion that was created by their operations in Chicago. In anticipation of the inevitable end of their manipulation in this city, the gamblers of Ingleside have united with the gamblers of Emery- ville in a scheme for mutual protec- tion. Very early in the history of the | great evil of Ingleside a compact of | importance was made between Corri- | gan and the gamblers of the Oakland | track. In substance this compact | provided that in the event of acci- dent to either track the managers of‘ the other would extend every possi- ble privilege and courtesy to their | associates. This simply means that if the authorities of San Francisco | crushed out the race track evii in this | city the gamblers of Ingleside would be welcomed with their horses at Emeryville. The schemers of the local track are now boasting of the existence of this contract. They allege that they have in the past bought the protection of | Boards of Supervisors, but they will do nothing now to pre t the full force of the legisiation which has received | every commendation except their own. They say that they will go to Emery- -ville and concentrate their vicious sport on the Oakland track. If this threat is carried out, and from the develop- ments of yesterday it seems less a threat than an unwelcome alternative | of the gamblers, San Francisco will be freed from the greatest evil that ever visited the city. The members of the Board of Super- visors who voted to abolish bookmak- ing and pool-selling took their ac- tion after full deliberation. They saw mno reasonable way of tem- porizing with the evil and decided 1o kill it. They will stand by their po- sition next Monday and will complete the legislation that means the end of Ingleside. The Supervisors believe that Corrigan and his associates had car- | three or four months. them out. The conditions which the gamblers have created at Ingleside are matters of sincere regret to legitimate sports- men of the State, but they say that they would rather see the prohibition of a sport than its prostitution by blacklegs. These sportsmen are heartily in sympathy, therefore, with | the new ordinance. with some interest of They discussed vesterday the possible legal aspects the ca rs who were interviewed are unanimous in the opinion that the new ordinance prohibiting / bookmak- ing and poolselling constitutional and will pass the test of the Supreme Court. The Board of Supervisors pos- es what is known as police power s privileged to exercise that power TR all enactments are gener in character. The prohibitory ordin- ance, which was d to print on prohibiting, as it and poolselling y and county ordinance in Monday, is gen does, all bookmaking within the limits of the ci f San Franc no way is special or pa L) 3K N pected, therefore, to bear the te the courts if it be called into ques by the gamblers. The manipulators of the race course will have to move therefore from Ingleside to Oakland. There will be no profit, as there has been no sport, in racing without the dis- honest adjunct of the books. Ingle- side’s terrifying brood will migrate to Emeryville, where, under existing laws, it may still thrive to corrupt the people of Oakland, and indirectly those of San Francisco. It will be remembered that Moses Gunst, Dan Burns and their crew made Emeryville an incorporated town of the sixth class. Hostlers, rubbers, touts, jockeys, gamblers and men known best as loafers con- tributed the carpet-bag votes that made Emeryville a pleader for mu- nicipal privileges, and a subservient Board of Supervisors of Alameda did the rest. Emeryville is consequently free from the jurisdiction of the au- thorities of Oakland or the County of Alameda. The gamblers make the laws to | suit themselves. They have a town in a race track. If they keep their con- tract with Corrigan they will wel- come the blacklegs that the Super- visors are driving from this city and protect in one great vicious nest the men whom Chicago would not toler- ate, and against whom the people of San Francisco, in self-protection, have rebelled. This condition of af- fairs cannot be disturbed except by an enactment of the State Legisla- ture. It is, perhaps, significant that Corrigan has found it necessary to go to Sacramento. As already indicated, the Super- visors were rewarded yesterday for their action by general commenda- tion. Clergymen, police authorities, mérchants, business men, lawyers, sportsmen were a unit in praising the men who had courage enough to attack the evil of Ingleside. Repre- sentatives of every class in the com- munity were eager to. give unquali- fied indorsement to the action of the Board of Supervisors.

As usual, he escaped | unscathed, by the help of a Pinkert detective, old ally. The occurrence mentioned happened between the second and third races. A | gambler from Oakland, who refused to | to this poolselling vice and in connec- tion with the Merchants’ Association have labored to st in correcting it. The game demoralizes our youth, is a disgrace to the city and gives us noth- ing in return. Let it be made a clcan sport and restricted, or suppressed en- tirely.

As he did so EA Corrigan happened to be engaged in conversation with ‘“Red,” the busy paddock runner and information gleaner employed by Barney chreiber. Turning around, with an oath, the exile of Cicero sput the face of the stranger, no doubt thinking he was playing the eavesdropping act. In an instant the man from across the bay, an individual of small stature, with blue ey and a blonde mustache, asked his herculean assailant what he meant, at the same time starting to remove his coat. Before | he could commence the attack a Pin- kérton man seized him by the arm, and soon everything w; as dull and list- less as the tirel breaking of the waves on the distant ocean beach. N of the disgraceful occurrence soon spread about the track. To crowd of sympathizers the grossly in- sulted individual said that he passed between the boxes intending to place a bet with George Rose. As the tears rolled down his cheeks, this man of the world regretted one thing. ‘‘He did not have his gun with him. His business in Oakland, he said, kept him up late and he made it a practice to carry a re- volver. Forgetfulness, then, perhaps, on the | part of another, prevented Edward Cor- rigan from becoming a Native Son for- ever.

JOHN F. WITZELL, commission merchant—Clean, honest horse racing is all right, but the gambling feature that has developed so rapidly in the past few years should be stopped, if it can be done. It is ruinous to our young men and it seems that the women are becoming fascinated with the game RICHARD UHTE, retail liquor dealer —The gambling feature ought to he stopped. Business men as well as clerks are going wrong by reason of it, and I do not see why the temptation should be placed before them.

Less than an hour later an Itallan crab fisher drew the lifeless body of Lennon into his boat from the ocean and conveyed it to the Morgue.

The men arrived at the Cliff House about 8 o'clock and made their way downstairs on the north side of the bullding and through a side door to the ledge on which the building stands. There is a space of hardly a dozen feet between the storehouse and the edge of the cliff, which at that point is fully fifty feet high and almost per- pendicular. Lennon and his compan- ion, however, knew a way of scaling the cliff, and, reaching a great, flat same instant a billow, much larger than any of the preceding ones, rolled in, washing over the outer rock and knocking Lennon off his feet.

Preston sought by every means in his power to save his comrade, and several attaches of the CIiff House hurried to the rescue with a life buoy, but Lennon was far beyond their reach.

Investigate the Premises, but Find No Trace of the Bold and Clever Criminals. A representative of Bibo, Newman & Ikenb: the well-known grocers at the sofithwest corner of Polk and California streets, visited the Chief of Police office last night and reported that burglars have been visiting the establishment during | the past three nights and carried away many hundreds of dollars in groceries. The thieves gained an entrance to the cellar by breaking down an obstruction between the grocery firm's premises and those next door. Once in, their 'opera- | tions were easy. Although a watchman | was overhead, their work went on un- noticed and might have continued but for a discovery made by one of the clerks in the store yesterday. He felt a draught and began fo search for its cause and | discovered a number of auger holes un- | der the counter, which the burglars had evidently made to throw light into the | cellar.

Saloon-Keeper Cassidy’s Spree Came to a Fatal Ending After Nine Months. M. J. Cassidy, a saloon-keeper at 619 Mission street, was found dead in bed yesterday morning in the room which he had occupied as a bed-chamber back of the saloon. William Owens sleeps in_the same building and was accustomed to awaken Cassidy every morning. Hearing no response to his knock he forced the | door open and found Cassidy dead. The deceased was a native of Ennis- killen, Ireland, 45 years old. He had been in robust health, but had been drinking to excess for the past nine months. The indications are that alcoholism was the cause of death. R DRIVEN TO STEAL. An Ex-Soldier, Desperate by Destitu- tion, Carries Off a Roll of Wire.
