To the initiated this means everything, but in a court it means nothing. { 2 This is not %he only new scheme of theé lottery men to evade the clutches of the law. One of the oldest companies in Chi- natown has abandoned tickets altogether, and instead of them the agent carries a book. The man who wishes to play points out his numbers on the book. A rec«?rd is taken by the agent, who also makes a private mark by which he can recognize the player and the job is done. The books bear neither date nor name and cannot be introduced as evidence. The police are using thelr wits to ~defeat these new schemes, but if they succeed the Chinese will only resort to new methods. A successful raid was made last night by Lieutenant Price and posse on an opium joint on Clay street. Five Chinese, together with a_complete layout of pipes, scales and parcels of opium, were secured. e WERE CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Three Fish Killers Discovered Using Dynamite in Austin Creek. TheState Fish Commissionersand sports- men generally are rejoicing over a recent capture of three fellows who were caught in the act of ‘“shooting” a trout stream with dynamite. For some time past the State officers.have wondered why Austin Creek i Sonoma County was so barren of trout, and all* kinds of fish as well, when all of the other streams in the coun- ty were productive of the finny tribe, es pecially on the opening of the season. With a_view of learning something of the cause Secretary J. P. Babcock and Deputy A. W. Wilson made a trip to the creek on Sunday, and while they worked hard and used all of the arts known to the trout fishers to get a fish their efforts were without result. At last, tired and discouraged, they rested on a high bank at the junction of East and West Austin SCHEME OF THE LOTTERY MEN T0 DEFEAT POLICE Tickets No Longer Bear a Date. ARE USELESS AS EVIDENCE CHINESE MADE DESPERATE BY THE CONSTANT RAIDS. Lieutenant Price and Posse Gather In Visitors to an Opium Joint and Secure Evidence of Crime. The Chinatown squad under Lieutenant Price is wige, but the Celestials whom it is set to guard seem to be wiser still. Whenever the police get wise on a scheme the Chinese at once bend all their | energies toward getting the best of the men who wear the stars. The lottery deal- ers in particular have been the shrewdest men the police have had to contend with of late, and the lottery dealers seem to have the upper hand at present. creeks After a while three men appeared and their actions showed that there was mis- chief in the air. With great caution the fellows exploded a charge of dynamite in the deep pool. It is very difficult to catch a dynamite “fisher” in the act, and “Bill"” | Meyer, who was the chief operator, was so taken by surprise that he made no de- fense except to say that he wanted the ma the elements.

[3 L] 0080008 ¢ LILLIAN POST DIES IN AGNEWS ASYLUM ILLIAN POST, the opera singer, died at Agnews Asylum yesterday af-. ternoon of heart faflure. The prima donna was taken to the asylum late Monday afternoon by her son, H. Blair. She was in a very feeble condi- tion and it could be seen that the end was not far off. She rallied some- what during the night and yesterday morning she was a little better and spoke of her travels to Hawali and Australia to Dr. Christal. Her mind seemed to wander back to the time when she was in the height of her stage career. About 1 o'clock she was attacked with heart faflure and sank into a comatose condition, dying a half hour later. Dr. Sponogle and Dr. Christal were in attendance. Her remains will be brought to S8an Fran- cisco this morning. i Overwork, her friends say, was the primary cause of the singer’s mental and physical breakdown, terminating in her death. Miss Post, as she was known on the stage, or Mrs. Goodwin in private life, was one of t{e many San Francisco girls who have gained fame before the footlights « many countries. Graduating from amateur musical circles into the professional ranks nearly twenty years ago, Miss Post played her first engagement in her na- tive town as a member of Emelie Melville's original Pinafore ' company. Later on she became associated with De Wolf Hopper, Della Fox, Jack Raf- fael and others who have since become prominent in light opera as a mem- ber of the McCall company. A few years ago Miss Post filled a long and suc- cessful engagement at the Tivoli here until she was compelled to retire be- cause of a severe throat affection. Upon her recovery she made a tour of Australia, returning from there only a few months ago. Since her return until last week she resided with her husband at 638 O'Farrell street. On Thursday her malady had assumed such a form that it was deemed advis- able to place her under restraint. She was taken to the City Receiving Hos- pital and the following day an attempt was made to remove her to a pri- vate sanitarium, but she jumped-from the carriage and her husband took her back to the hospital, where she remained until Monday, when she was taken to Agnews. 006000006602 6600006 | i illustration will be built immediately.
