Stole a Checkbook From a Superior Officer| and Started to Flood the City With Worthless Paper. APTAIN PETER DEMING, the di ( graced commissary officer under ar- rest at Alcat will in all prob- ability have to answer to several charges of forgery and possibly larceny. nable to kee his end with the moneyed bibbers of the cocktall route, in vil moment he stole a checkbook longing to the paymester at the Pre- sidio and proceeded to fill out checks to suit himself. At least a half dozen saloon men, thinking that the checks were genu- ine, readily cashed them. It s said tl Deming realized a large sum of money on the worthless paper. Since his arrival here Deming has been going the pace that kills. He neglected his duties at the Presidio to carouse with habitues of the tenderloin, and at last, finding himself in dire financial straft he resorted to larceny and forgery to con- tinue in the path that leads to the peni- tentiary. His arrest was brought about by a Market-street saloonkeeper, whom he tried to victimize. Accompanied by a friend, Deming, who was under the in- fluence of liquor, visited his place of busi- ness, and producing a check for $110, asked the liquor merchant to cash it. Suspecting something wrong the saloonkeeper ques- toned him, and as his answers were not satisfactory he refused to cash the check. The following day word was sent to | General Shafter that Deming was spend- | large hours of the night. ing money with the lavishness of a mil- lonaire who had suddenly lost his rea- son, and he determined to make an in- vestigation. After satisfying himself of the guilt of Deming Shafter visited police headquarters and Invoked the ald of Chief Sullivan in urestlng the gay cap- tain. The Chief at once detalled two of his men to find Deming, who was said to be preparing to leave the city in the Jiope of escaping arrest. n their investigations the detectives found that Deming was In the habit of visiting a notorious house kept by a woman named Dollie Ogden. The sleuths kept a watch on the resort, but were unable to locate Deming. his last visit that his wife had died a year ago, and that he had got drunk in order to celebrate the anniversary of her death. With brazen effrontery he then proceeded to buy all the wine in the house, glving a forged check for the amount in payment. Subsequently he went to the Richelicu saloon and asked the barkeeper to cash a check for $100.

A Jiepateh from Washington last night in reference to Deming’s arrest: Although the officials of the War De- partment are disinclined to discuss the case of Captain Deming it is admitted that his arrest Is merely preliminary to his trial by court-martial for violations of the articles of war. His troubles arose out of an escapade on the Pacific Coast while en route to Manila for assignment to duty. It is stated that while he may have misappropriated Government funds, the sum involved is less than $1000 and is amply secured by his bond of $20,000. “The gravest feature of his case Is an allegation that he forged the name of his clerk to pay an account for $150 and They will be hear the following court- | secured the money and appropriated it to the Ogden woman on the occasion of | to his own purposes. General Shafter re- ported the matter to the War Department and was directed to convene a court- martial for the trial of the officer.

It pleases the audience, which gives audible signs of approval from 8 o'clock until great, So did “The vet there was a defi- Idol's Eye,” and | clency of genuine humor in that produc- tion that I quarreled with in the first week of its extraordinary run. It seems that a respectable degree of cleverness is not the main requisite, and if I make the same charge against “Manila Bound" that 1 did against “The Idol's Eye” 1 may be correct in the matter of taste but err as regards the estimation of those intangible and unaccountable qualities that some- times make inanity successful. “Manila Bound” does please the public, and the public is very welcome. If I should search for a reason for this pleas- ing power (and it is necessary to search, for the merits of the piece do not confront one with a clarity and force that demand recognition) 1 do not think I would be amiss in_ascribing the evidently taking quality of the performance to the indus- try o ris Hartman, “Manila Bound” is, T belleve, a distor- tion of a European burlesque in which the element of local satire and trans- Atlantic humor have been altered (with an ax) to fit a different envirdnment. The vestige of a plot is of no consequence whatever, but everything is made to de- pend upon the concentrated comedy of one part. Ferris Hartman has that part, and he brings to its enactment as much cheap wit and persifiage as the lines will accomodate. He is very amusing in spots, forhe has a tdy colleetion of jokes that are not old, and taken as a whole his ex- cursion into German dialect i not a fail- His make-ups are excellent, as such ure. things go. 1 have preached the necessity of careful preparation in the matter of extravagan- zas and burlesques to the end that the alugidl()’ with - which they are usually loaded may be {lluminated and place given to moderately clever dlalogue, of which a_ respectable standard should be sustalned throughout such performances. I have argued ainst the dumplng of these things on the stage without their being subjected to a thorough process of refinement, but with ample opportunity for just such discriminate care ‘“Manila Bound” has emerged from the chrysalis stage with more than its share of flat wordiness. Aside from the interpolation of Hartman there is nothing sald and little done that will pass muster, and if in accordance with the method I suggest all that is unworthy and dull should be cast out there weuld not be enough left to keep the people from rnltchlng the :3;"pb0n( Ofclany fom am afrald that In staging such s the ‘munagement goes Gn' (he. principis ie public is ecasy wé[“‘hu“‘k(‘ a chance. 32 Picerndg e golf ballet is pretty, Frances Graham sings el h!fully.Mg:l: there is nothing else remarkable, wnless it is the success with which Alf Wheelan characterizes a bore.

Sl ZRERRRRRERRRERRRRRRRERRR REREERRRRRRRERRRRRRRRRRY RRRRRRRRRRR R R R R R R R John F. Collins, alias Harper, alias Mur- phy, bank robber and all around crook, is now on his way to Seattle for his partici- pation in the theft of a roll of greenbacks | from the First National Bank of that city. | In order to circumvent his attorney, George D. Collins, from preventing him from being taken back to the scene of his | bold crime, Chief of Police Sullivan, after a consultation with Captain Seymour and Inspector Venetto of the Pinkerton De- tective Agency, effected a coup d'etat by which the desperaté prisoner was not only removed from the City Prison un- known to his counsel but was shortly afterward placed aboard the Oregon ex- press, bound for Seattle. He was accompanied by Deputy Sheriff McLeod of Seattle and a detective. The prisoner was heavily ironed, as it was | feared that he would make a desperate attempt to escape from his captors. Yesterday morning the officers arrived from Seattle ready to take the bank rob- ber back to the scene of his crime. They were armed with a warrant signed by the Governor of the State of Washington and charging Collins with grand larceny in robbing the First National Bank of that city. When arrestea by Detectives Ryan and | O'Dea, the clever sleuths of the southern station, Collins was not booked, as the | police were anxious to hear from the Se- | attle authorities before placing a charge | | against him. Determined to resist_any | | attempt to have him taken back to Seat- | | tle, the prisoner sent for Attorney Col- | |iins and retained him to defend him. | Learning that Collins intended to sue out | a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of his client, Ryan and O'Dea, after a consulta- | | tion with Chief of Police Sullivan, booked | the daring criminal for a crime committed in this city some time ago. | “Collins had committed several bold rob- | berfes, and by order of Captain Spillane | | Ryan and O'Dea were detalled to arrest him. Landed in Prison. After considerable located him with the ass | geant Tom Ellis and ERERERERRERREERY. inim with the | crime of grand larceny in stealing a pack- age money from the safe in Morse- | 2 s on Clay street. While his | examination was proceeding court Collins cut his way | | out of the dock and made his escape. ~ | On learning that the officers from Seat- | tle had arrived here, prepared to take the | prisoner back, Attorney Collins sued out | a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of his client, setting forth that the bank robber | was being illegally deprived of his lib- {erty. The writ was made returnable b | fore Judge Murasky at 5 o'clock last even- | ing, at which time Collins was_produced | Detectives | in court. He was guarded by Ryan and O'Dea and Sergeant Ellis. | Chief of Police Sullivan, Captain Sey- mour and the Pinkerton inspector were | present to see that Collins did not attempt | to get away. The Seattle officers also oc~ cupled seats in the courtroom. Assistant District Attorney Deuprey ap- peared for the Chief of Police and George D. Collins for the prisoner. Deuprey first addressed the court. He reviewed the case against Collins and asked that he be | remanded to the custody of Chief Sulll | van. Attorney Collins argued that inas- | much as Judge Low’'s court went out of | existence immediately after the adoption | of the new charter the prisoner could not ! be held on a warrant issued from that | | tribunal. Judge Murasky held that the | | point was well taken and crdered that | | Collins be given his liberty. As the de- | 1 tectives heard the deciston they arose | from their seats as if intending to rear- rest the bank robber. Attorney Collins, | | noticing their action, addressed the court and asked that an order be issued pre- venting the police from interfering with | his namesake. This Judge Murasky re- | | fused to do. Rearrested in Court. As the Judge stepped into his rivate | chambers Captain Seymour directed Ryan and O'Dea to handcuff the prisoner and | | take him below to the city bastile. Col- | lins at once beeame ugly and half arose from his chair as if he intended to break through the cordon of officers. His at- t(;[‘ue)‘ whispered to him, which had the effect’ of :luh“llng the desperate man. As the two detectives started to handcuff { him Attorney Collins asked them to wait | as he wanted to draw up a petition for | another writ and which he wanted Collins to sign. After finishing writing the peti- | tion the attorney had Collins sign it. It | | was then sworn to before a Deputy | County Clerk, who had been summoned | for that purpose. The irons were then | placed on the prisoner's wrists. On the way to the City Prison he threatened to “smash” Detective Ryan's nose and declared that he would never be taken back to Seattle alive. Smuggled Out of Prison. After reaching the prison Collins was formally booked for the Seattle bank job on a warrant issued by the Governor of | Washington. Kather than take any further chances of losing their man Chief Sulllvan, after a conversation with Cap- | tain Seymour and the Pinkerton inspector, | decided to turn him over to the Seattle officers. Collins was then hurriedly placed in the patrol wagon, and accompanied by Ryan and O’'Dea, the two Seattle officers and Police Officer Matt Tierney, he was driven to the ferry. Seeing that he was up against it Collins showed a disposition to give the officers battle, but he soon changed his mind on being told that his first hostile demonstration would result in his body being sent to the Morgue. | After crossing the bay the officers took Collins into the back room of a restaurant and held him there until a few minutes before the train left. He was then put aboard the train, after an extra pair of irons had been placed on | his legs. On hearing of the action of the police in smuggling Collins out of the City Prison the attorney of the same name went before Judge Lawlor and sued out a writ of habeas corpus, ordering the Chief of Police and the Seattle officars to produce the bank robber in court at 10 o’clock this morning. The writ was given to the Sheriff to serve, and accompanied by the attorney he vainly searched for the man nfalnlt whom it was directed. Collins, on learning that the prisoner was on his' way back to Seattle, wired the varjous Chiefs of Police along the route to hold his namesake and the Seattle officers. He threatens that unless Collins is returned to the City Prison within twenty-four hours he will have Chief Sul- livan,” Captain Seymour and Detectives Ryan and O'Dea arrested for kidnaping. R STOPPED 8 The Seattle Officers Who Had Charge of Collins Arrested for Kid- naping. SACRAMENTO, Johnson, under Sheriff Reese and Depu- ties Conran and Lowell, together with Deputy Sheriff Troy of San Franclsco and representatives of the Police Department of this city, intercepted two officers of the State of Washington on their way to Seattle with John Collins, the bank rob- ber, upon the arrival of the Oregon ex- ress in this city at 11:40 o’clock to-night. gomns was taken to the County Jail and the two Washington officers were given lodgings by Sheriff Johnson.

TRIED TO FORCE INSOLVENCY O WILLIAM THIRD E. J. and 0. J. Bamberger Scored in the Report of a Referee. g AE Insolvency proceedings against Wil- liam Third commenced in the United States District Court are likely to come to. a sudden conclusion, for by the report of the referee, Milton J. Green, Third was unjustly forced into the courts by O. J. Bamberger, who attempted to use that | method to collect a note for $200 given him | by Third for alleged legal services Third had two dry goods stores—one at 920 Valencia street and the other at 2013 Fillmore street. He had assets to amount of $20,000 and liabilities amount- ing to between $13,000 and $14,000. His | creditors were pressing him and he called upon Bamberger to place in his hands a claim for collection. According to findings of the referee, Third told Bam- berger that his creditors were pressing him, himself and the firm of E. J. and O. J. Bamberger to be the attorneys for the Bank of Commerce of San Francisco, agreed to advise Third as a means of escape from his financlal difficulties. He advised Third to convey the Valen- cla-street store to Florence Lavine, who was then its manager, she to take up all its debts and to open an account with the Bank of Commerce. He also agreed to secure the consent of the other cred- itors to such an arrangement. For this jece of advice Bamberger charged Third ), for which Third gave a note. In the meantime there was a hitch in the transfer of the Valencla-street store, | for Murphy, Grant & Co., one of the creditors, objected, so instead both stores were sold to Charles R. Havens, | who was in the employ of Murphy, Grant & Co., conditionally, however, and for the sole purpose of ascertaining how the business was prospering and how it was being carried on. Bamberger at that time admitted that the assignment to Florence Lavine was void. The findings further set h that then Bamberger secured the cl: s of several nffl(he creditors of Third, and with these an his own note of $200 he brought pro- of insolvency against Third, that he had assigned his busi- ness to Havens for the benefit of his cred- itors. None of the larger creditors wished the proceedings brought and steps were taken to have them dismissed. but Bam- berger refused to have them dismissed unless his own claim and the other claims he held were paid in full. This the other creditors refused to allow, and so the pro- ceedings were followed up. By the findings, however, it is declared that the proceedings brought by Bam- chool at the Po. | berger are against the best Interests of | be sold to satisfy a mortgage mads to the Third and for the purpose of forcing the collection of the note for $200, and have you'll surely want | one for an odd | marked them for | the | the | and Bamberger. after representing | | Ribbons 14c. | We have picked up a moderately lirge - Jot (1250 yards) of Brilliant Taffel Silk Ribbon complete line of colorings, pinks, | blues, cardina!, cream, white. mais, etc., every thread silk, width 23 inches, worth at least 20c the yard, which will be sold special | to-da ony i i4c Bows of above ribhon made to or- der by experts free of charge.

Patrolmen have had instructions from police headquarters during the past two the night wateh, to pull | signs that project over | the sidewalk contrary to the ordinance regulating such matters. The first raid was made on Tuesday night, when several hundred signs were torn down and carted out to the Ceaeral Station, where they were packed away In the property-room. Yesterday many sign-owners, perfectly unconscious of the manner in which their signs had been removed, called at the po= lice station and entered complaint in re- gard to the disappearance of thelr prop- erty re you quite sure that you could iden. tify vour sign if it were found?" inquired the desk sergeant of the first complainant. “Why, in a minute,” was the reply. The victim was then led into the prop- erty-room and requested to pick out his sign from the big pile stacked up there. The result was always amusing, particu- larly as the sign owner's discomfiture was usually witnessed by a crowd of grinning spectators. The work of removing signs went mer- rily on last night. Merchants can save | themselves much trouble by taking the | obnoxious signs down themselves, and also save cartage bills from the Central Police Station. —_———— Grand Lodge of Knights. | The next annual session of the Grand | Lodge of California of the Order of Knights and Ladies of Honor will be held in the Pythian Castle in this city, com- mencing on the ITth of April.
