Gordon, the colored man to whom Joyce handed over the old man to take to the Hot Springs. Gordon wrote that Joyce had taken all the old man’s morey at St. Louis and his gold watch and chain, val- ued at $150, and had even sold his ticket to San Francisco to a broker there, pay- ing a bigamist he sald he had obtal divorce from his first wife and ‘1)':5 dl%ega: knew of any other except the one in New ork.

Joyce, a drummer, who is aufmanns I in the “tanks” at the City Prison, is as heartless a scoundrel has ever come under the cognizance of the police. He is not only accused of bélng a bigamist and forger but also. of robbing a helpless old man and leaving him pen- niless and friendless in a strange city. A few days ago Captain Seymour re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Hannah Suva, 448 Fourth avenue, New York City, to the Joyce had married her daugh- on October 3 and had left witn bard, Martin Suva, a frall old following day for San Fran- a visit to his friends in this r the benefit of the old man’ h.

Shortly after the receipt of the letter the Capiain got a dispatch from Chief Elton that the wife nad not left for San Francisco but had, instead, posted a letter to Joyce. Whittaker was at once instructed to ar- rest Joyce and vesterday afternoon he caught him as he was entering his lodg- ing-house. Chief Elton had forwarded a photograph of him which satisfied Whit- taker beyond doubt that Le was the man he had previousiy located.

He met Annie Siefert, a domestic in the fam- ily of Judge Smith, and learning that she ' had some money saved, made love to and married her. A week later he deserted her, after securing all her money, and disappeared. Before his departure from this city he succeeded iIn passing four bogus checks for small sums.

RMLROAD WILL BAISE WAGES OF FREIGHT HANDS Southern Pacific Employes’ Pay to Be Increased Twenty-Five Cents. cEeanbodis Commencing November 1 all the freight handlers in the local offices of the South- ern Pacific will receive an increase In their pay amounting to 2! cents an hour, or 25 cents a day. The raise will benefit between 200 and 300 hands. In 1893, when industries all over the | United States were curtalling expenses | and reduclng wages, a cut was made in the salary list of the freight handlers. Since then the employes have been working for $2 a day. A few days ago a petition was circulated praying for a restoration of the old wage schedule ca the ground that times are better and the amount of work that each man is called upon to perform has been materially in- creased. The petition was signed by every em- ploye in the frelght department. It was presented to Manager J. A. Fillmore. who consulted with Julius Kruttschnitt. ~Yes- terday it was decided to grant the re- quest. Notices to that effect will be posted at once. —_—————— Cutting Freight Rates. In order to head off the freight teams which for several years have been draw- ing an Incpeasing amount of freight from the raflroads the Southern Pacific has been forced to make cut rates to some ot the interior towns. Auto trucks have in some instances been adopted and because of their swiftness they have become keen competitors of the rallroads. The freight- ers have another advantage over the rail- roads in that they can load at the doors of wholesale houses and discharge their loads at the doors of retailers, thus sav- ing time and drayage at both ends of the haul. The towns first to receive the ben- efit of the cut rate are Pomona, Ontario, Smelzer and others in the southern part of the State. The new rates have becn fixed at $2 50 per ton.

FWING ASSERTS HIS INTEGRITY N HIS WiLL Refers to Provision Made to Protect Creditors Who Trusted Him. —— A holographic will executed by the late Elmore’ Ellis EwIng, whose suicide caused a sensation In church and business cir- cles, was filed for probate yesterday. Fur- ther than serving the purpose of convey- ing to the world what disposition the de- ceased wished made of his estate the doc- ument serves no purpose. By reason of the fact that a portion of the date is printed the will is {liegal. In the will the deceased bequeaths his entire estate in equal shares to his widow, Minerva Ewing, and his daughter, Jessio Ewing Stokes, both of whom reside in Delaware, Ohio. As special gifts the deceased directs that his daughter have his library, to- gether with his badges and mementoes pertaining to his military service and the associations growing out of the same as a member of the Grand Army of the Re- public and the Loyal Legion, Decedent, as shown by the will, was also a member of the Royal Arcanum, the National Union, the Order of Royal Good Fellows and the Massachusetts Benefit Assoclation, and he held policies in the eufi' Mutual Life Assoclation, the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, His estate, however. Goas not exceed $3000 in value, it Is stated in the petition accompanying the will. A significant clause is Incorporated in the will. 4 It reads: In taking out all of these policies I have had in mind not only protection of my family, but also that of my creditors, the persons who Lave had sufficlent confidence in my integrity as to place thelr funds with me. I therefore request that the amount received by the reason of the payment of the policies shall be drawn n if necessary to pay in full my just debts tate be insuff- ‘l‘gguld my personal and real es clent for that purpose.

SHEPPERD’S COOKING SCHOOL. HAS SOME TROUBLES OF ITS OWN It Is on the Verge of Disruption After Only Three Short Weeks of Existence, and Teachers and Pupils Are Leaving. Mrs. Maryland Bartlett Shepperd’s Lit- tle Mother’s Cooking School, at 942 Harri- son street, is in distress, and the em- ployes of the Institution are leaving one by ome. The school was opened about three weeks ago by Mrs. Shepperd. Children of the lower class were to be taught how to cook, but the class has dwindled down to half its original size and the ladies who are employed by Mrs. Shepperd claim that they have been forced to resign on account of Mrs. Shepperd's arbitrary and authoritative manners. § Yesterday Mrs. lda F. Piatt, who was engaged to teach the children cooking, | £afd ihe had handed in her Tesignation and would no ionger be connected with the schoal for several reasons. She says she is a graduate from a cooking school in Boston, and was employed to give the children a lesson every afternoon. The i first rub came when she was requested to come down on Saturday nights and cook coffee for the parents of the children, who are “received” on that night. She also says that Mrs. Shepperd shows such an ungovernable temper that it is im- possible to get along with her. Miss Mont- gomery, who Is superintendent of the school, has also resigned, but when inter- viewed she sald she would prefer not to make any statement. A Call reporter visited the school yes- terday afternoon, and while in the viein ity called on several mothers of the gu pils of the cooking school. One mothe: stated that the class had dropped off to half its original number on account of the actions of Mrs. Shegperd. The children, she said, went into the school after public school hours, and they were taught cook- ing from 3 to 5, and then Mrs. Shepperd took them in hand. She presented each irl with a toothbrush, examined their nger nails and gave them instructions about keeping their shoes polished. By the time Mrs. She; children it was in Mrs. Shepperd arrived from the East last February on the request of Dr. Wil- son, who paid her fare. She immediately interested herself in selling tickets for a concert the reverend gentleman was giv- ing. She then became associated with the Society of Friends and induced them to allow_her to get up a concert for the “Si- lent Workers.” It has been stated since that she received 50 per cent of the tick- ets sold. The concert was held in_Sher- man & Clay’s Hall and was crowded to | the doors. “Since then Mrs. Shepperd has | started this cooking school with donations and subscriptions that have been solicited in the city by a corps of young ladies | who received a certain percentage for the oney they collectedy Mrs. Shepperd is Hving at the Grand Hotel and boarding | at the Palace Hotel. She is a very hand- some widow with a fine figure that is su- perbly set off in the very latest of tailor- made gowns. pperd finished with the variably 7:30 o’clock. BOY STENOGRAPHER CANNOT BE FOUND Police Trying to Elucidate the Mys- tery of Robert Chessman’s Disappearance. The mysterious disappearance of Rob- ert Chessman, a boy 19 years of age, has been reported to the police, and Detectives Ed Gibson and Reynolds are endeavoring to elucidate the mystery. So far they have met with no success. The boy was employed as stenographer with the firm of Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden. Last Monday he complained of being sick and left the store about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and since then not the slightest trace of him has found. His father is E. E. Chessman, 1330 Church street, and he says that the boy never staved away_ from home fore for a single night. Young Chessman weighs about 150 pounds, is five feet six inches tall, has brown hair and eyes, medium light complexion and dimples on his face. He wore a dark gray single- breasted sack suit, blue strij shirt and standing coller and fedora hat. boy was regular in_his habits and he was never heard to express any dis- satisfaction with his employment or sition in life. His employers say 1k mone{ matters had nothing to do with his disappearance, for in his position he did not have the handling of any coin. Hig description has been sent to all the police stations and every outgoing steam- er and train is being watched. Sues Husband for Support. Mary E. Large flled sult yesterday against her husband, Willlam H. Large, for maintenance awd support.
