Green and ( n were both questioned in this con but neither of them professed to kr wow what the bookmakers intended sence of Chief Lees, Captains 1d Gillen, accompanied by a fifty patrolmen, soon set all rest.

Hinton and nk Brook, got up into the farthest block near the field books and ced that they were ready to do Oppenheimer, another tout, then pro- ceeded to go through the form of making He ed Jones the money and a bet. ¥ the latter ordered Hinton and Brooks to write the ticket. Following out their in- structions they made out a ticket on a horse that was entered in the race but which was subsequently scratched. The mome the ticket the pol arrested All laughed heartily, thinking it was a good joke on the police, but when they were hustled into a patrol wagon they saw the joke in another light. At the City Prison the dejected quartet were re- leased on $500 bonds put up by the asso- ciation. The only other arrest made was that of Al Leech, an old man, who stepped into one of the blocks just before the fifth race and announced that he was ready to sell auction pools on the race. “This is not a percentage game, mind you,” he said to his listeners. *“I_am simply going to sell auction pools. How much am I bid?” The policemen who had gathered around were mystified for a moment by the new dodge. “How much am I bid?”" shouted the old man lustily, a gleam of defiance in his € ves. b“FXfly doliars,” shouted back one of the in the background. Captain Wittman sprang into the block and placed Leech under arrest. The police captain placed Leech in charge of an officer, saying, ““Charge this man with violating section 664 of the Penal Code.” “That section of the code provides for the arrest of persons who even make an attempt to commit an overt act against the laws, and I guess that covers this case,” said the captain as Leech was hur- ried to the patrol wagon. Throughout the afternoon Chief Lees moved from place to place in the betting ring, watchful lest the gamblers would resort to underhand artifices to defeat the v inance. MI {g::l bookmakers and other track ope- rators, more daring than the rest, estab- Jished a sysfem of betting which the po- vare powerless to orevent. The sys- t Jones handed Oppenheimer | the men. | | Francisco are begin- | tem became known as the day wore on as | e first fruits of the great | *hand booking.” The betting, however, was for the most part confined to & narrow circle of gam- blers and was not conducted on an ex- tensive scale. Several of the ‘‘hand bookies” assembled before each race and agreed on the prices offered on the dif- ferent horses. Then they allowed thosa whom they knew intimately to bet. A person who was desirous of placing a bet on a horse would walk up to one of the hand bookies, ask the price of- fered on the animal's chances and then when the police were not looking would hand the bookie the money. After each race the “hand bookie” kept moving from one part of the betting ring to the other, shaking hands with his lu customers, at the same time hand them the amount of money they won on the race. The police knew that this sort of gam- bling was being carried on, but it wa: practically an impossibility to catch the gamblers at their new artifice to violate | the law. If they were detected passing money to anybody they would simply say that they were lending the money or pay- ing a debt.

He said no plan would be formulated un- til the- complaints were made out and presented in court. He denied any inten- tion to ask for an injunction restraining the police from making further arrests. GAMBLERS MUST STAND TRIAL An Ineffectual Plea for Dismissal. Police Judge Mogan refused yesterday to discharge the twenty men arrested at Ingleside Tuesday afternoon for violating the anti-pool law. Henry Ach, attorney for the bookmakers, demanded an imme- diate dismissal of the cases on the ground that no formal complaints charging any offense had been filed against his clients. Judge Mogan censured the Police Depart- ment for neglecting to have the arrest- ing officers swear to complaints, and finally, in order that a test case might be started, he ordered the hearing con- tinued until 10 a. m. this morning. All the defendants and a large crowd of interested spectators were present when Department 1 of the Police Court was called to order. Only two or three police officers who were in therald at the track were present. Captain en and Ser- geant Martin were there to represent the department. The proceedings were opened by Attorney Ach, who addressed the court as soon as the spectators were quieted. He first informed his Honor that he represented the twenty men arrested | at the race track and then demanded the discharge of all of them and also the exoneration of the bondsmen. He argued that, as there were no complaints, the defendants could not be held an instant. Judge Mogan interrupted Ach and post- ction on the cases for one hour. His Honor asked why the police had not attended to th ential point. Prose- cuting Attorney Joachimsen answered for Chief Lees and his subordinates, saying they had not had time to draw up the necessary papers and swear to them. Ach declared the negligence of the prosecution was no concern of his, and renewed his demand for dismissal. An hour later all parties interested were again in the court- room and Attorney Ach asked for a rul- ing on his motion. Judge X said he poned Mogan would first listen to the Prosecuting At- torney. Joachimsen said it had always been the custom in the Police Courts to allow the officers reasonable time to pre- pare complaints where pe were ar- sted on misdemeanor charges without As this case is of great pub- ance of one day. Mr. Ach again demand- d the release of his ciients and addressed at Ingleside that has been prohibited by the Board of Supervisors of San Fran- cisco. This much was determined to- day after President Androus and Vice President Henry J. Crocker of the Ingle- side track, together with Mose Gunst and others, had exerted every influence at their command in a fruitless endeavor to induce legislators to assist them in thwarting the will of the people of the metropolis. The race track gamblers directed their attention principally to the Senate, hop. ing no doubt that the smaller member ship of the upper house of the Legisla- ture would provide them a more favora- ble opportunity for the use of the cor- rupt means by which they hope to secure favorable consideration for the measurs by which they hope to rob the citizens of San Francisco of their rights. If this was their object, it met with signal fail- ure, for with few exceptions the Sena- tors turned a deaf ear to the plaint of the racing men, and the day ended with no better prospect in view for the Ingle- side jobbers than total defeat of their scheme for relief by means of State leg- islation. To-morrow the racing contin- gent already on the ground is to be re- inforced by Ed Corrigan and others of | the Ingleside combine and a final effort will be made to induce legislators to cast their votes for some law that will have the effect of setting aside the action taken by the Board of Supervisors of San Fran- cisco on Monday. Even the ponlsellers—the men who de- feated Dan Burns, Corrigan and the com- bined race track following last week In the matter of restricting poolselling and bookmaking at race tracks, thereby giv- ing the Ingleside and Emeryville tracks an exlusive privilege of the gambling game—refused to “stand in” with the Ingleside outfit to-day. They declared that they do not care whether or not the | not | sed, as it will and they refuse to Ingleside track is cl affect their busine: take a hand in an tion to the desire of the people of San Francisco. They go farther than this and declare that they are more than pleased that the track at Ingleside has been closed by the Board of Supervisors of the metropolis for the reason that the act administers a well merited rebuke to Cor- rigan, Ullman and others, who, they say, have had more to do with bringing d credit on the sport of horse racing than all other influences put together. The hookmakers and poolsellers, therefore, approve of the sentiment that has prompt- ed the people of San Francisco to demand that bookmaking at Ingleside shall stop, their approval being based on the asser- tion that Corrigan and his associates were in a fair way to kill the racing game by their methods. The “practical politiclans” who are present in Sacramento in force, and who are always counted on to lend assistance to shady measures of the kind proposed by the Ingleside race track gamblers, held G+0+00-040+0+00+00+0+0+0+0+0+0+0 OO0 O anatie S ST St e e Y ) QR OSAY v Pooes- [ R e e e S an SiCat e i i S o e i G e SR S e o The only subject of conversation in the City Hall yesterday was the practices of Police Court clerks in accepting bonds in- discriminately and the uance of orders of release outside the court hours. Un- der the law clerks of the Police Court are authorized to accept bonds in any sum up to and including $1000. While this law is often the means of relieving many per- sons of the disgrace of imprisonment on petty charges, the wide latitude of the consolidation act permitted many abuses of the system. The Police Department complains bitterly of this practice. They assert that their endeavors to enforce the vagrancy act are almost completely vitiated by the Police Court clerks, who issue releases for prisoners, whose friends | have a political pull, before they are booked at the City Prison. Jack Rice, clerk of Judge Conlan’s court, feels aggrieved because the newspapers | published the fact that he went to Ingle- side track to accept bonds and release gamblers as fast as they were arrested by the police. Rice declares his action was perfectly legal and not unusual enough to subject him to any criticism. He says he went to the race track to oblige his friend, Henry Ach, who inform- | Mr. | ed him that a raid was to be made. Ach furnished all the bonds and orders for releases and he signed them when re- quested to do so. Rice further asserts that under the law he is obliged to accept bonds when the sureties swear they are worth the amount of the undertaking, and that his refusal those circumstanc would render his bondsmen liable to a suit for damages. There is no law, written or other- wise, which compels a court official to discharge his duties at a race track or in the back room of a saloon. The articles in yesterday’s papers had one 'salutary effect on the Police Court clerks. None of them wished to run afoul of their masters, the Board of Super- visors, and the Ingleside attorneys were informed that they would be obliged to come to the City Hall to secure the lib- eration of any more gamblers who might be arrested. For the first time in many months the warrant clerks were in their offices after 12 o'clock. They received in- formation from members of the Board of Supervisors that Rice’s assistance to the gamblers was liable to get him into trou- ble and perhaps cause his discharge. Po- litical positions with large salaries and little work are hard to get, and the Po- lice Court clerks may now be depended upon to respect the orders passed by the Board. Judge Mogan, at the request of Chief Lees, made an order fixing the bonds for the five men arrested yesterday at $500 each. The Chief took further precautions to block a repetition of Tuesday's farce by ordering the desk sergeants not to liberate any man brought in from the track without an order from himself. The lawyer employed by the jockey club expected a big raid yesterday after- noon, and the associate counsel remained at the City Hall with bondsmen and kept in touch with the Police Court clerks. A large bundle of bonds was prepared, and it was arranged that as soon as an ar- rest was made at the track the name of the prisoner was to be telephoned to the City Hall and a release would be imme- diately obtained. So yesterday afternoon the people’'s employes were waliting around the cheerless corridors of the City Hall to assist the gamblers in their en- deavors to violate the law and keep out of jail.

As a matter of fact and law the de- fendants are not legally held, because of the delay on the part of the police, and the defense took an exception to the court’s denial of the motion to dismiss. The Judge hesitated slightly before holding the defendants, and ruled against dismissal simply to save a lot of trouble for every one concerned. During the afternoon Prosecuting At- torney Joachimsen drew up separate com- plaints against the twenty prisoners and these were signed and sworn to by the arresting officers. They will be presented in court at 10 o’clock this morning. The bonds accepted at the race track by Clerk Rice of Judge Conlan's court were satis- factory to Judge Mogan, and the gam. blers were free to return to Ingleside for the day's races. The sureties were John Malowansky, a director of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, and A. Ottinger. Bond Expert Chris Newman examined the bonds yesterday morning and reported to Chief Lees and Judge Mogan that the sureties were good. The prosecution will take up the cases of Levy and Wall this morning, as the police have the strongest case against these defendants. Judge E. H. Mogan of Department 1 of the Police Court, to whom the book- makers’ cases have been assigned, will take up the trial of these men the first thing this mornin Regarding the issue Judge Mogan say: “I desire to proceed immediately with this matter and bring it to a speedy term- ination. Whether or not the issue will come before me on its merits depends ‘wholly on the lawyers. I have no prejudice in the matter and will, at the proper time, interpret the order of the Board of Supervisors to the best of my ability. “I continued the test case a day in or. der to give both sides a fair chance to prepare their cases. The complaints should have been filed before the calendar was called at the opening of court this morning, but that of course I cannot help. “If either side demands a jury trial, which is quite probable, the case cannot go to trial before next week, as all the time this week will be occupied with cases now set.” MEET DEFEAT AT SACRAMENTO Mose Gunst and His Allies Repulsed. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 15.—The California Legis- aloof from the proposition to pass a law that would do away with the good work done in San Francisco on Monday. The story of the $20,000 that is to be used to bring about the desired legisiation had had its effect with the members of the | third house of the Legislature, but in face of the fact which is apparent to every one that the Senate will have none of the proposition, no one could be found who would agree to be identified with it even in the lobby. During the morning session of the Sen- ate many of the members wereapproached on the subject of racetrack legislation of the kind intended to defeat the will of the genple of San Francisco, and were asked for advice as to the best form of presenting the proposed law. The schemers suggested that it might be at- tached to the general appropriation bill as an amendment to the istrict fair clause, or, failing in that, it might be brought before the Legislature as a sub- stitute for some bill that has been rele- ated to the end of the file, there to die. Such a bill, it was suggested, could be brought_forward and put on the urgency file, and by judiclous amendment and substitutions could be put in shape_to be rushed through both houses of the Legis- lature before the end of the session. These suggestions met with cold disfavor on the part of the Senators. To add to the woes of the Ingleside gamblers they were flatly told that they need expect no help from the managers or friends of the racetrack at Emeryville, in Alameda County. This was a severe blow, because there are several members of the Legislature who are favorable to the interests of the Emeryville track and who were naturally expected to lend a helping hand to the scheme proposed by the Ingleside crowd. Late {n the after- noon the Ingleside forces were withdrawn from the Capitol to await the arrival to- night of Corrigan and his reserve forces from the metropnolis. To-night a consul- tation is being held to decide as to what step can be taken to-morrow to retrieve the disastrous defeat of to-day. The presence of Police Commissioner Gunst in Sacramento at this particular time, and the fact that he is identifying himself with legislation favorable to the | gambling interests of a certain class of people in San Francisco, is attracting much unfavorable comment from legis- lators from interior districts. They de- clare it does not speak well for the morals of a city when one of its chief eace officers concerns himself in assist- ng the %usage of laws that are recog- nized as being designed to protect a class of Peo le whose business is antagonistic to the best interests of the community in which they live. A SCHEME TO INVADE MARIN Gamblers Discuss Another Project. SAUSALITO, March 15.—For two days the gamblers and politicians of this town lature will not legalize the gambling game | have been running back and forth be- legislation in opposi- | | Successful tween the varlous saloons, varying the monotony of their action by an occa- sional visit to San Francisco. Confer- ences have been held behind closed doors | in the rear of Tom Frost's and “Billy” | MacMillan’s _saloon. To-day the secret | came out. The gamblers are trying to have the Ingleside track moved to Marin County. Early in the day the rumor of this de- sire on the part of the gambling frater- nity had reached San Rafael and was al- most the sole topic of discussion. Noth- ing definite can be learned, for those who are in a position to know maintain the utmost reticence. There is only one suitable location for a track in the county, and that is in the neighborhood' of San Clemente. Two years ago a man named McCue built a gold: half-mile track, but it soon closed down. Later Dan Burns came near buying the Lucas property as a breeding farm, the track being included in the land bar- gained for, but for some unknown rea- son the deal fell through. It is stated half-mile track could easily be length- ened to a mile course. “Well,” said “Billy” MacMillan, giving the wink that has made him so widely known, when questioned to-day, “I don’t care to say anything about the matter further than to say that there is some ground for the rumor. This I will defi- nitely assert: No active measures will be taken toward securing the track for Ma- rin County unless the Ingleside men fail to obtain relief in the courts. If they don’t, you may expect to Bear something later on.” | “WHITE HAT” M’CA?I'Y STARVES DUMB BEASTS | THE HORSEMAN WILL BE AR- | RESTED TO-DAY. | Fourteen Horses That Had Been Re- duced to Shadows Taken to the Pound. ““White Hat” McCarty’s propensity for arving dumb animals and leaving them unsheltered to the mercies of the weather have got him into trouble again. Yesterday fourteen of his horses, starved to the bone, were taken to the public pound shortly after they had fin- ished their dinner on fence posts, boards, etc., in a corral at Seventh avenue and B street. The office: of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, at whose instance the poor brutes were re- leved from their pitiful condition, are | determined that McCarty shall suffer for his treatment and announce that he will swear out a warrant for his arrest this morning. For some time past patrons of the and Sacramento street car lines have noticed the starving horses grovel- ing in the sand hill and have commented | upon their poor appearance. None of these people seemed willing, however, to make a complaint, and it remained | for Otticer J. J. Bagley, whose beat ex- tends in the vicinity, to notify the Cen- tral police station yesterday. Officer W. | T. Hooper of the Society for Prevention }of Cruelty to Animals visited the prem- ; Geary | i v during the afternoon. When he ar- | rived he found the he gnawing on fence boards, most of which they had al- | most reduced to slat boards had | been broken down in s where | the horses had_made reach little_patches of gra v along the sidewalk.

Simultaneously | were_sent there | ! with the arrival of the pound men a boy drove up with a single ale of hay, which he said had been sent from McCarty’s stables on Tehama street. 1t was intended to feed the fourteen an- | imals and weighed about 130 pounds. The | boy; stated that a pale had been sent out dally, but he could only account for those | which he brought out at various times. | Freyer sustains him in this statement, | but the condition of the animals would indicae that one bale arrived weekly. McCarty's name has been on the rec- ords of the society before. Complaints have been made against him frequently since he possessed animals, and on sev- eral occasions the officers to force him to take better care stock. The horses which were taken terday were all blooded horses and were kept for sale. Freyer, the man in charge, says that he had no instructions to care for the horses and took no pains to do so. It will cost McCarty $4 per head to secure the release of the animals, besides whatever expense may be incurred after his arrest. e TOM WILLIAMS IS WINNER. in His Civil Action Against M. Marx. The Supreme Court has given a deci- sion in favor of Thomas H. Williams, the horseman, in his case against M. Marx. About a year ago Williams sold to Marx 2 piece of real estate on Grand Island in the Sacramentd River. He received a de- posit of $1000, a written agreement being signed by the two parties that if in case the title to the property was good the balance should be paid, but if the title should be defective the money was to be returned to Marx. The latter re- fused to pay the remainder and demanded the return of the deposit on the ground that the title was not perfect. His contention was that Williams re- ceived the land upon an order of distri- bution of court in the case of the estate of the late Thomas H. Williams Sr., father of the party in this suit, and was unable to give a perfect title to land thus received. Willlams brought the action to that by filling a part of the marsh this | to-day we feel like glorious rain—has com are skipping with glee, can) hope that eighteen see California the Golden pick the grape, delve an proper care get a hun good to you and me : RAIN! write it in our millinery : the most ““San Francisco’s gre: write it in letters of celebrating : e, and the farmers of our from Siskiyou to San Diego (from Dan to Beersh and we can (so far as mongl hundred and ninety-nine will flowing with milk and honey : { San Francisco draws its main support (its bread and butter) from those who till the soil, garner the grain, d dig for ore: we shall with dredfold better returns from those ‘‘who go down to the sea in ships for the trade of the Philippines: rain- means untold not honor the occasion too much—many an aching heart is comforted; all, thankful. the next occasion for thanksgiving is the success of store to-day : we invite your inspection. 937 to 947 Market Street.

Green and Smith Ready to Sign With the Club Offering the Largest Purse. George Green and “Billy” Smith had a meeting yesterday and split the differ- ence so far as the weighing-in hour is concerned. Green sald that he could not make 154 pounds at noon of the day of the pro- posed fight. Smith asked him if he would consent to weigh in at 3 p. m., and Green, after some hesitation, agreed to do so, and the matter of a fight was therefore clinched without reference to the club under whose auspices they would battle. Green wanted the National and Smith had a preference for the Excelsior. The pugilists finally agreed to fight in the club_that offers “the best induce- ments,” and thus the matter stands. The clubs, however, have wisely decided not to compete over any fistic card, as there are too many good attractions on the road at the present time looking for en- gagements. —————————— The famous old JESSE MOORE WHISKY is recommended by physicians for family and medicinal use because it s pure. —_— ee————— Assessor Dodge’s Appropriation.
