Hay- ford was arrested last night at his home on advices from Washington, D. C., that he was wanted there for passing worth- | less drafts. Edwin Spalding, a lawyer, is the complainant against Hayford. He sald that on March 21 he cashed a draft | for Hayford drawn on the Douglass Coun- ty Bank of Waterville, Wash. The bank returned the draft two weeks ago with a statement that the bank had never heard of mHayford until within the past few weeks, when they had received drafts George Hayford, from different sections of the country ag- grega ting $550. Hayford said: ere is a terrible misunderstanding. is not the slightest irregularity in | thing I have done.” sford was for a time previous ' George Ha to the fall of 1855 a practicing attorney of the San Francisco bar, but his practices were of such shady character as to bring down upon him the censure of his profes- slonal brethren as well as the strong arm of the law. The crimes of embezzlement and obtaining money by false pretenses were several times charged against him, but by some means not clearly apparent to the public he always escaped paying thepenalty hls offense demanded. He was arrested on September 14, 1896, | at the instance of Mrs. Busan Cunning- ham, a client, on the charge of embezzle- | ment, on which charge he was held over | in the sum of $3000, but was acquitted in the Superlor Court. On June 4, 1597, on the complaint of Attorney Jordan, Judge Belcher in open court suggested that he be presented before the San Franclsco Bar Association for expulsion on account of hiz shady action in the case of Wil- lam Knowles vs. B, J .Baldwin. On De- cember 20, 1897, Judge Conlan gave him an unmerciful excoriation in his court, char- acterizing conduct In & certain case as subornation of perjury and calling the attention of the Grand Jury thereto. On March §, 1895, William' Ralston, pro- prietor of the restaurant at 763 Market street, lodged complaint with the police against” Hayford charging him with ob- taining money on false pretenses, givin, a check on the Union Trust Company an getting change, when he had no money there o his credit. On March § foliowing two more warrants were {ssued for his arrest, one on_complaint of E. H. Baxter of the No Percentage Pharmacy, $19 Market street, charging bim with petty larceny by trick, fraud and device, and the other of D. M. Fletcher, saloon-keeper at Hayes street and Van Ness avenue, for obtaining money ‘by false pretenses, In each of these cases he had given checks Wh::‘ghe did not have the money to thI cred . 3 ¢ | Tahoe and man Francisco Water Works, MO GETTE TAKES A WHACK AT VON SCHMIOT Nevada Paper’s Caustic Com- ments on Lake Tahoe Echeme. I P ATEE Sreclal Dispatch to The Call, RENO, April 26.—Under a ‘“‘flare” hpad-' line, to-night's Reno Gazette publishes | Nevada's side of the scheme proposed in | Wednesday’s San Francisco papers by A. | W. Von Schmuat, resident of the Lake | by which he offers ed number of miilions of doilars to tunnel | througn the sierra’ Nevaua Mouniains, | and afier diveriung the waters of Lake | ‘Lahoe, convey tnem in pipes Lo San Fran- ¢isco, ana practically obliterate the Spring \{Alley Company. he Gazette Schmidt as th for an almost unlimit- | article refers to Von ‘would-be water stealer of the century,” and then quotes a letter written ten years ago by K. L. Fulton, then manager of the Nevada State Boar of Traae 1o the Mayor and Board of Su- | pervisors of San Krancisco, in which Von | Schmidt's lack of rights are said to be | fully shown, and in which it is made to | appear that the use of the waters of Lake | Tahoe are essential to the welfare of Ne- vada, and that the people of Nevada will protect them to the last ditch against all the promoters of Christendom or any one else. Many interesting figures and facts, as | weli as references to the iaw In the case, | are given showing among others (Lhings | that ihere is no surplus water to be had | and that any possible storage would raise the level of the lake but a trifle. The Gazette then prints an interview with Mr. rulton, had to-day, in which he says: “There is a six-foot dam at Lake Tahoe, but it does not belong to Von | Schmidt and he does not own the land | it stands on. Von Schmidt claims a dam | lower down the river. That dam was burned out vears ago. It never stood on | his land. He took up forty acres, but he bullt the dam on land next to it, which the Truckee Lumber Company owns. | ‘What alls the people of San Francisco? Just across the summit from Lake Tahoe, | where no $10,000,000 tunnel would have to | be bulit, they have beautiful lakes with | pure witer that sink into the bay un- | used. In conclusion, Mr. Fulton says: “If you could gét a good committee from the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco to visit the head ' waters of the Amerlcsn‘ River, see Loon Lake, Spider Lake, Blue | Lakes and a hundred others, then brin them to Nevada County, California, an to Washoe County, Nevada, and let them gee Mr. von Schmidt's surplus and whers it goes, there would never be anything | more neard of Mr. von®Bchmidt or his | schemes.

SAN JOSE, April 26.—Medical Director Crane at Agnews Asylum is proving to be the whole thing, so far as the manage- ment of that institution is concerned, and the Rea gang and local politicians have been turned down. For years these peo- | ple farmed out the patronage in the asy- lum through the local trustees, and the place became filled with help that de- pended on a political pull to hold their jobs. With Sponogle’s departure a chang« took place. Members of the gang now de clare that Dr. Crane is prejudiced again: local help. Managers Hale and Green- inger have long quit making recommenda- tions for appointments, and many claim that in order to secure positions at the place they must give their address other | than Santa Clara County. Since Crane's appointment there have been over fifty changes in the corps of employes—an average of six or eight resignations a month. In filiing these places the truse tees have not been consulted. While the local trusiees—Hale and Greeninger—would like to rebel at this monarchial reign of Dr. Crane's, they do not dare to. Gage is backing Crane up in his administration. The terms of Greeninger and White explired several months ago, and it is said these vacancies | exist in the shape of a club. Should either of those whose terms have expired at- tempt to take Crane to fask they can be tely, and two new men, with Trustee Wilson of San Francisco, | would give him a majority of the board. While there is some dissatisfaction among the employes at the asyium be- cause of a reduction in salarfes and strict enforcement of rules, it is stated local politicians are working to an end to se- cure Crane’s resignation by stirring up strife at the asylum and the promotion of Second Assistant Physician Marvin as di- rector. Marvin secured his position be- cause of voting for Dan Burns for Sena- tor in the Assembly, and the gang have figured it out that with him as director the nalmna%n of the ingtitution would be once more in their hands. They think that If matters could be made so uncom- fortable for Crane that he would resign, Marvin would be the only available man for the place, as First Assistant Physi- cian Stocking's position under Sponogle would disqualify him, and besides Gage the time he turned Sponogle out.
