Chief Sullivan has commenced a raid { upon nickel-in-the-slot machines used” for paying In coin. Wednesday Policeman C. W. Goodwin was detailed to piay the ma. chines. He went to the saloon of Henry | | A. Thom Wohrden, 700 Market street, and | after playing the machine he won 2| cents, which was pald to him by the bar- tender. At Frank Woenne's saloon, 1075 Market street, he won 20 cents on_the | machine and recefved the money. Yes- terday he swore out warrants in Judge | Cabaniss’ court for the arrest of Thom Wohrden and Woenne for conducting a game of chance and they were arrested. | They were released on $50 cash bail each | ~ Chief Sullivan speaking of the a rests yesterday sald: “Every man hav- | ing a machine who pays in coin will be | | arrested.

About | three weeks ago an attorney representing | a syndicate who owns the machines called | upon me and asked that all the machines which were seized last year and that are | in our storeroom be returned and | he would promise that they should only | be used for paying in merchandise. An agreement to that effect had been made |and any one breaking the agreement would have the machine taken from him. I declined to deliver up the machines and referred him to the District Attorney. Now I understand that a large number | have not been keeping the alleged agree- ment and I propose to arrest them. | There are 753 siot machines licensed, for | which $7530 income is recelved per quarter | by the city, and if they did not pay a good | ;-;r‘;{f’i!_l\xch a heavy license would not be P L 741 Thompson Two 1 talking machine home in an better form of you give Zon-o-phone nd at render speeches, songs, b instrumental music, all your-command?

Of COMM Lieutenant [lar= | graph Wires on R e e o S S S ISSIONS tin Declares He Found No Tele- His Raid. | “A clock game is carried on by means | of ‘a_mechanical device into which tick- | ets are placed, and they are made to ap- pear by chance,and from their appearance and the rise or fall of the numbers the | numbers are placed on the blackboard and | bets are made as to what the next num- ber will be. | “In the tape game the tape has num- | bers placed upon it either by a rubber | stamp, pen and ink or a typewriter and | then it is rolled up so it cannot be seen | except when 1t is pulled out of the re- | ceptacle into which it has been rolled. | Then the numbers are called off and | placed on the blackboard and the bets are | made from the numbers on the black board. Any one may put up his money | with the clerk and then he waits until | the numbers change in his favor or against him.” In opening his testimony Rumble sald he was interested in a mine in Oroville | and the men from the mine used to go | into Valentine's game and lose all their | money, so he decided to stop them by | breaking up the game. He says he tried to break it up several times, but with in- different succes In addition he said he | had patented boards Valenfine was using and he had been promised a per- centage for the use of them, but he had not got his percentage, He d he had at one time run a phonograph game on | the same principle as the clock and_the tape games, but this had been stopped b: the police and he paid a big fine in_con- sequence; He says he told the Grand | Jury once and the court once of Valen- tne's game, but it dfd no good. Attorney Collins, for the defense, tried | to show by the witness that what had | kappened in the place at 43 Ellis street | was not necessarily the selling of pools, | but he succeeded only in making matters | more indefinite than they were. Rumble | sald he knew the calling off of the num- bers was an offer to sell because he familiar with the game and knew just what it was. He said all the games—the | phonograph, the clock and the tape—were | on the same principle, and one was no | better than the other. | In the examination in regard to Crim- | mins, Rumble sald that Valentine had told | him it was Phil Crimmins who was re- cefving the 25 per cent of the earnings of the game. He was asked if the name of Phil Crim: s had been mentioned in connection with the case and he wered that he was sure it was Phil Crimmins who was referred to, and whose name was | mentioned. He was asked again if it was | | by the name of Phil Crimmins that the | | man was described and he said: “Yes, | | Phil "Crimmins was named the man | | who recelved the 2 per cent paid for pro- tection.” The case will go on to-day.

Paterson's sensa- tional outburst at the Townsend inquest on Tuesday. The attorneys representing Joseph Co- burn, in whose possession the famous ford letter is, continue to refuse to e public any part of it. Still they say enough to indicate that the letter is full of unpublished family history, all having a direct bearing on the case. Yesterday Judge Paterson was inclined to fear that at the inquest he had let his senti ts get the better of his judg- ment ere are more ways of Killing a person,” sald the Judge, “than by com- mitting a punishable crime. There are ways of nagging a person to death, and A person to death, each as tru- as poisoning. ' Only in the nagging ving cases the Jaw has no names for them. In the poisoning case the law calls it murder. It has al-| been my ws ze concluded, the unnatural ways the J acts to protect women, but when a woman daughter, as Mrs. Murray has, I believe her sex is no longer | a matter of consideration.” The next great issue to be met in the case will be the matter of granting letters of administration. According to Van Paterson. Mrs. the right to administer, must not only establish a residence here, but also must prove that she is “a fit and proper per- son.”” Attorney Hassett, acting for Pub- lic Administrator Boland, has been mak- ng diligent Inquiries into_the matter of Mrs. Murray’'s residence. He says if Mrs. Murray had decided to take up her resi- dence here she had not told any of her Eastern friends so. and further that she | had not disposed of her home in the East, which stands just as on the day she leff it. Yesterday Joseph Coburn recetved a let- ter from his sister and_brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Quick of Brookiyn, N. Y., in which they state that “the last time Almira (Mrs. Townsend) was here she told us she had made a will.” Coburn is not_certain just when Mrs. Townsend vis- ited the Quicks the last time, but he be- lieves it was within the last few years. The matter of granting the letters of administration will come up on the 1Tth inst. Christian Endeavor Convention. The Golden Gate Christian Endeavor Union will hold its fifty-fourth quarterly | eonvention at the Central M. E. Church, Mission street, between Sixth and Sey- enth, this evening. Robert Lloyd, Rev.

The outcome of the contest will be ob- | served by thirty thousand Republican | voters of San Francisco. The committee met in Shiels’ building, 182 O'Farrell street, and indulged In a | spirited parliamentary discussion without transacting much business. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the recent decision of the Supreme Court regarding the Stratton primary law, aud more particularly to give the committee a chance to define its position or rathcr locate its standing under the ruling. Immediately after Chairman Bouvier | called the meeting to order Committeeman | McCarthy of the Thirty-ninth Distriet in- troduced a resolution, as follows: Resolved, That the chair appoint a commit- tee of seven, of which he shall be one, to take legal advice concerning existing laws regarding primary elections, with tull power to act in all matters with reference to the election or selec- tion of delegates to all conventions and subdi- visions thereof which may be held umder the ausplces of the Republican County Committee. | Committeeman Truman spoke in favor | of the resolution, saying that he was op- posed to the old primary methods, where | corruption and dishonesty reigned su- | preme, and favored having the selection | of officers rest upon as small a body as possible. He was followed by J. G. Boyne and Adrian Smith, who spoke in a similar strain. Max Goldberg and others spoke against the resolution. After considerable debate a motion to adjourn until Tuesday evening next was put and carried by a vote of 42 to 39.

Moor Senator R. Porter Ashe gave a brief antl-Phelan talk and he was followed by Charles Edelman, who made a scathing attack upon the administration. He said in part: “I understand that certain members of the official class in the City Hall have made an insinuation to members of the State Central Committee, and the state- ments have gone into the interior that it is utterly impossibletoholda fair primary in the city and county of San Francisco; that all those who opposed the appointing of delegates to a convention or who favor- ed an open primary were men who were on the outside and who were repeaters, thugs, disturbers and the lawless element of the Democratic party, and that was the reason why the Committee of One Hun- dred had found it necessary to appoint delegates to a State and county conven- tion. 1so that it has been ascertalned that the members of the State Central Committee from the interior are In favor of holding primaries and that Charles Edelman, who recelved a proxy from Hon. J. Harvey McCarthy of San Diego, was urged by McCarthy to oppose with all his might the appointing of delegates to the State conventlon, because if dele- gates were appointed to the State conven- J. Bryan. “The Democrats of San Francisco are getting heartily tired of a Democracy under the leadership of a stovepipe dicta- tor, whose Democracy consists largely of driving to the ferry when delegates walk- ed, and of driving to the national conven- tion when other delegates walked, and who insinuated, and made the statement on the train going to Kansas City. that the only Democrats who were opposed to his administration were a few whipper- enappers who could not obtain jobs under him, “Now if this State is lost to Bryan it will be owing to the fact that a man. or set of men_who have no sympathy what- ever with Brvan or with the platform of 1895 and 1900 have used their influence for patronage for the purpose of investing a would-be czar with a senatorial toga to the exclusion of a national fight in fa- vor of Willlam J.
