THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSPDAY, MARCH 1, 1900. TRUSTED EMPLOYES OF THE EMPORIUM DEFAULT Tempted by Tanforan, They Steal Six, Thousand Dollars. | Paymaster Bryan and F. L. Bernard Abstract the Gold From Envelopes Containing the Half Month's Pay. etietie et e Netie e NN N e e N sietietie®, In considering the brazen attempt to reopen Ingleside track the Supervisors may do well to ponder the latest evidence fur- shed by the defalcation of Bryan and Bernard. Their case adds another to the already too long list of crimes which can be charged to the blighting influences of Tanforan racetrack and its gambling eystem, flaunting in the faces of the city’s young men, tempting them to steal their employers’ money. ‘Will the Supervisors dare to increase the number of pitfalls of which so many are already yawning for the city’s youth? It is more than significant that such pertinent evidence of peril to this city should be presented on the very day that the city fathers are called upon to pronounce the fate of the scheme to reopen notorious Ingleside. eRNIRNIBIRIRIRIRIRN+RNe%e O e 154 et e et et et et et et eN oo e 4B et N e NN+ @ had not been used, though the bed-clothes had been disturbed to give it the appear- ance of having been occupied the night before. The descriptions of the men as givea to the police are as follows: H. M. Bryan, height 5 feet 6 inches. weight 120 pounds; complexion sallow; hair and eyes brown; age 21 years; tip of middle finger gone. F. L. Bernard, height 5 feet 8 inches; weight 160 pounds; complexion florid; etes light blue: dark brown hair, wavy or curly on forehead; age 23 years. Of late the habitues of the tenderloin connected Bryan's name more than » - with andal, The Tanforan race track nearly caused him to hurry his de- rture some time ago, on an occasion when he sent a friend to the track with money to play a sure tip. Bryan played the tip heavily and lost, and it was dve to a friend from whom he borrowed that he made good his losses. Bryan also gained much notoriety in the Amy Mur- phy ca in which he was a witness. He °d that he knew all the facts se, but weakened on the witness claiming that he would not testify t his friend Poulin. Grove-Street Theater Sold. The sale of the old Grove-street Theater property, belonging to the estate of the late W. B. Dolan, took place at auction fn Judge Coffey’s court yesterday. A. J. Rich, the real estate dealer, on behalf of a client whose name he refused to di- vulge at the present time, bid $60,000 for the property, and its sale was confirmed to him. Owing to the existence of sev- eral contracts for the sale of the prop- erty made by Mrs. Dolan, widow of the deceased, some discussion was occasioned as to who was entitled to a commission on the sale, but the court will arrange the matter without reference to the con- tracts, as Judge Coffey said that Mrs. Dholfin had no right or suthority to make them. —_—————— Musical Entertainment.

John Dolly, a laborer, recently incurred the eumity of Mrs. Mary Goggins of 17 Oak Grove avenue and she swore to be revenged. Last night, evidently scenting @ at the hands of the irate woman, ¢ decided to call on her and endeavor atch up their differences. Mrs. Gog- met him at the door with a kettle of boiling water and poured the contents over his head and face. With a cry of pain Dolly ran from the house and subse- | quently visited the Receiving Hospital, where a soothing lotion was applied to his head and face. He threatens to have Mrs, Goggins arrested to-day for spoiling his beauty. At a meeting of the Polk Street Progress Club last Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensulng yvear: President, W. McMann; vice president, L. | H.

MURDER AGAIN STALKS ABROAD N CHIATOWN Three Tongs Declare War on Suey Sings and Kill Chin Ah Sue. Insult to a Woman Causes Hom Kee and Yong Yee to Open Another - Highbinder Struggle. | i e | _Another carnival of erime has opened in | Chinatown. = Ornce more the . highbinders have taken up their' weapons and = the first victim of heathen vengeance fell Gead about midnight last night at the corner of Ross alley and Jackson street, hot twice through the body. The dead Chinaman’'s name is Chin Ah Sue, a member of the Suey Sing Tong. His murderers were members of the Wai Ting Tong and Hop Sing Tong, named Yong Yee and Hom Kee. Ah Sing, now under arrest at the California street po- lice station, was with them’ when the Kkill- ing was done. The trouble which precipitated - the shooting took place last Sunday night. On that evening a banquet was held by the Sin Sue Ying and was attended by members of various tongs. After the function was over a woman in company with a Wai Ting Tong man was passing from the place on the road to her home. She was insulted by three Suey Sing men and her companion proceeded to pummel the hoodlums. The insult aroused the indignation of the Wai_Ting men and they demanded that | the Suey Sing man who committed the {n- sult be expelled from that society, and that his name be posted up on the prin- cipal thoroughfares of the Chinese quar- ter, in disgrace. The. Suey Sings agreed to expel the man, but they would not post his name as requested. The Wai Ting Tong declared war after a meeting last night, at which the Suey Sings’ decision was made known, and in this they were seconded by the Sin Sue Ying, at whose banquet the trouble hap- pened. The Hop Sing Tong, glad to secure revenge upon the Suey Sings for the death of a number of their men in the recent war which has not yet been settled, signed a compact to aid the tong that de- clared the war. About midnight Chin Ah Sue was met by four highbinders wno had been detailed to kill him. Hom Kee, a member of the Hop Sing Tong fired the first shot at him, and Yong Yee of the Wai Ting Tong fired the second. Ah Sing of the Sin Sue Ying, now under arrest, was a third man of the quartet of murderous highbinders. Sing was seen escaping from the scene by Officer McGovern and was later cap- tured, with a big pistol in his possession, by Officer McGrayan. The police regard this as only the first of a geries of murders to follow in China- town, and expect that many lives will be’ lost before the trouble can be settled. ATTACKED FELLOW CONVICTS. Special Dispatch to The Call.

The companies of the First California Regiment last evening elected officers. Ten companies made their selections | without any marked manifestations. Two companies—F and K—were the center of interest, as there had been much talk that they would take the occasion of the election to even up scores dating back to the service of the regiment in Manila. There was a very warm time when Com- pany F balloted. ‘The quarrel between Captaln Miller and Lieutenagt Nippert came to the fore, The balloting for cap- tain resulted in 44 votes for Nippert and 19 for Miller. The room rang with cheers' when the result was announced. Corporal W. A. Varney was elected first lleutenant. Second Lieutenant Brown's office lasts until April and consequently no one was elected to succeed him. . When Varney had been elected the trouble came to the front. Captain Miller said that he thank- ed those who had voted for him. They stood up for him, “knowing what they were going up against, and they were dandies.” Captain-elect Nippert was not slow to | respond. He said that when the men of | the company left the volunteer service they sald much concerning what they would do. He was glad that they had kept thelr promises. He had had the best part of the company with him; he had not been selfish in seeking office. Right would prevail and had prevalled. he vote for him.had been for the good of the company. - An objectionable element had been got rid of. These remarks were aimed at Captain Miller, who made no response. Varney's election as leutenant was unanimous. B. Hawks was named for the lace. He was one of Miller's friends and e rose to say that he would not serve in the company under such-a captain as had just been elected. Major Tilden tried to throw oil on troubled waters and was cheered. Company K elected Schwerdfeger for captain, he receivin, 29 votes to 17 cast for Seeley; Edwin O'Reilly first lieutenant over A. L. Follls, and Corporal Frank Young Second lieu- tenant. Other companies elected the following: Company G—Captain, E. C. Sutliffe, first lleutenant, W. M. Swasey; second lieuten- ant, John L. Darms. Company C—Captain, Charles E. Goodall; first lleutenant, George J. Petty; second lieutenant, Joseph . Ross. Company A—Captain, J. F.

About 9 o'clock last night P. C. Ander- son, the watchman for the navigation company, stepped out of the office into a yard. He was immediately beaten and | overpowered by two masked men and bound. He was then led back to the 6f- fice and told to keep quiet. A coat was | placed over his head, which he quickly | shook off, and the robbers proceeded to | examine the safe. They then stepped out- side, presumably to get some tools, when Anderson, seizing the opportunity, threw himself out of (ne window and raised an | alarm. Gately came quickly to the place and the men escaped in the darkness. Anderson says that the men beat him | severely on the head with thelir re\'olvel’si when he stepped outside the door. They | { wore red handkerchiefs over their faces and were short in stature. Both were at- tired as workingmen and a cap, similar to that worn by coalpassers, was picked up on the scene after they had left. The watchman had 360 in coin on his person, but the robbers, intent on getting at the safe, did not search him. He is 47 years of age, has been employed by the com- pany seventeen years, and resides In Berkeley. - The police believe that some | persons formerly employed by the com- pany and who were well acquainted with | the premises did the job. From thelr acts both men were novices in the safecrack- | ing business. —_————— Convict Rearrested. Special Dispatch to The Call.
