POLICETRVING TO CATCH CO0PER Swindler Seen on an East- bound Train With His Latest Dupe. — Nora Schneider’s Mother Learns for the First Time That Her ‘“‘Son- in-Law” Is an ex- Convict. s Nora Schneider of Crockett was seen Sunday afternoon by Tieoaore Kytka, the handwriting expert, on a traln going to Sacramento. She was accompanied by | Harry Westwood Cooper. allas Ernast Moore Chadwick. Kytka kiew Cooper very well by sight. Yesterday. he notified | the police of this city and a request was immediately sent out by Captain Seymour to all the police at all ‘Eastern points to arrest €ooper on sight. A warrant for Cooper’s arrest on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses had been sworn | out at Port Costa. Kvtka did not know that there was any reason for saying any thing about Cooper until the explo'ts at | Crockett of Cooper, ahas Chadwick, were published in this paper yesterday. { Mrs. Schneider, mocer of Nora, visitel police headquarters yesterday and add some statements to those she had previ- | ously made concerning the actions of Cooper, allas Chadwick. She said that Coogper, after he presented tke evidence, | manufactured for the occasion, of the | large inheritance he was to receive from the estate of an alleged aunt in B\il nd actually went through the motions of hav- ing a corporation formed in this city tor the purpose of managing the estate. She was much surprised when Captain Sey- mour told her that Cooper had previously served four girls as nhe had her daughter—- one in England, two in Australia and one in Canada. He was also on the point of eloping with another from the Hotel Langham in this city the night Seymour arrested him on the charge that resulted | in sending him to San Quentin, from which he emerged only about a month ago: #The seal on the bogus notification of the English estate of Eliza Adelalde Chad- wick was exactly like one that Cooper used in a similar exploit several years ago, which is in Captain Seymour’s pos- session. On_the former occasion Cooper claimed to be heir to the estate of Si: Harry W. Cooper and he borrowed $2000 | at that time from Mrs. McDonald, his | wife's mother, to go to England to recelve that estate. Mrs. Schneider clalmed to have discov- ered that the seal on the document us=d to decelve her daughter into dreams of wealth and luxury was manufactured on Montgomery street in this city. Everything that Cooper exhibited in Crockett as evidence of his standing was fraudulent, Including his diploma as a physician. The name of Chadwick was | not new to him. In 1895, in Sydney, N. 8. | W.. he was held on two charges of pro- | curing money by false pretenses under tlie | name of Charles Ernest Chadwick.

Supervisor Reed yesterday submitted to” the Board of Supervisors a proposed ordl- nance fixing water rates, for its consider- ation at the meeting this afternoon. The ordinance fixes the rates upon a valuation of $20,000,000 on the Spring Valley plant and allows $196,000 for taxes and $425,000 for operating expenses. Reed recommends a cut of 5 per cent in householders’ rates and a 35 per cent cut in shipping rates that the board fix a uniform meter rate of 17 cents per 100 cubic feet, and that the charge for hydrant service and other pub- lic charges be done away with, as they are lno( based upon the amount of water used. Reed also filed a statement of what he regards as the law and the facts in rela- a job at Crockett and was connected with Dr. Riley. There is no doubt that Cooper | and Chadwick are one and man." Mre. Schneldar, on learning that Cooper was somewhat com- | forted, for that would render the cere- mony that hurriedly took place at Crock- ett last Saturday night null and void. At the same time it furnishes ground for a bigamy charge upon which Cooper can be | prosecuted. { Every Police Department east of this city has been supplied by Captain Sey- | mour with deseriptions of Cooper and | Nora Schneider. Mrs. Schneider is cer- | Cooper had little money, the | total not to exceed $55, last Saturday, but | he may have raised money on the $2i0 dia- | mond engagement ring that was bought with a check in this city.

As late as vesterday a check of the same size, | drawn by Cooper, was presented at the | Donohoe-Kelly Bank for payment. Pre-| the same i $5000. Dr. Riley of Port Costa is reported | to have accepted a check for $2000. ! A singular feature of the transaction connected with and leading up to the| Crockett wedding is that Cooper did not | recelve any of the goods for which he passed out checks, with the exception of the dlamond ring procured from A.

Constable Theodore Molles of Crockett was in the city yesterday. He says that Cooper got two diamond rings from Jo- seph Broder of Crockett. It is on Bro- der's complaint that the warrant has heen issued for Cooper's arrest for procuring money by false pretenses. Mrs. Groom of the Star Hotel at Crockett was directed by Cooper to prepare a wedding supper for twenty guests at $5 per plate for last Monday night. She ordered champagne to the amount of $150. Constable Moiles warned her not to get the dinner until she saw the money for it and she was wise enough to take his advice. Mofles says that Cooper and Nora Schneider left Port Costa at 9:15 Sunday morning on the train for Sacramento. The seal on Coo- per’'s hogus papers was made at 228 Mont- gomery street. SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 27.—While at San uentin (%oper was regarded as one of the most dangerous men in the institu- tlons The latter portion of his imprison- ment was spent in an incorrigible cell. In the spring of 1898 Cooper, together with elfl;& or nine other prisoners, concocted a scheme to escape. Cooper at that time was employed in the kitchen of the night guard. According ‘to the plans of the schemers, Cooper was to poison the coffee of the guards, and then he and his associ- ates were to effect their escape. Canptain Edgar discovered the plot in time, and the men were placed in the dungeon. Cooper was the first one to break down. He told the whole story, throwing the blame on the others. Tt afterward developed that he was the ringleader. From-that time on he occupied an incorrigible cell. Wedderstrand’s Case. The application of Charies Wedder- strand for a perpetual injunction against the California Jockey Club will be finally adjudicated in the United States courts. Wedderstrand was given an injunction yesterday against the San Francisco Jockey Club and other defendants to re- strain them from preventing him from riding on the local tracks, but the action nfl-lnst the Califorria Jockey Club was diSmissed without picjudice that the right of the petitioner to ride on all tracks in the United States might be determined by the United States courts in his action against this club. ——————— Board of Trade Answers Wells.

After quoting from the constitution and_ court decisions to show that the Spring Valley Water Company is in the possession of property which has been devoted by_the constitution to the use of the people, Reed draws the following conclusions: The whole obligation of the people toward the water company is to fix reasonable rates and allow just compensation. ° The courts will step in and nullify the rates fixed by the legislative body only when the act of the Sunervisors if enforced would re- sult in the taking of the property without just comsensation The depreciation in the property of the water: company is not to be provided against the board. The original cost is the basic element in arriving at the actual value of the plant. Only the property of the water company at the time it is being used for the public should enter into the computation upon which actual value is based Reed then proceeds from a practical ap- plication of the foregoing principles to as- certain the value of the Spring Valley plant, as follows: Par value bonds and stocks $26,775,000 00 Water in same. 4,363,701 80 4 $22,411,208 20 Abandoned, decayed and worn out property .. 4,418,918 16 $17,992,350 04 Real estate not in use 1,688,664 16 Cost of Spring Valley Water Works now beihg used in collecting and distributing water +$16,303,715 58 Turning upon Secremrg Pelham Ames’ valuation of $26,245,095 66, Reed figures that it should be reduced by $7,774.795 58, which represents issue of stock ‘and abandoned property, leaving $15,470,300 08 as a basis for fixing rates. By a third method of :{;m;‘utnunn Reed places the valuation at 519,343,518 16, based upon City Gruasky's estimate. Engineer CLAIMS TO BE VICTIM OF A FEMALE FOOTPAD Philip Hunter Robbed of Gold Watch and Chain by Woman, He Declares. Phillip Hunter, a stranger in the city, who is temporarily living at 1 Fifth street, swore to a complaint in Judge Mogan's court yesterday charging “Jane Doe” with grand larceny. He claims thats he has been the victim of a female robber, Hunter says he was on his way to his room about 2 o'clock on the morning of February 22, and at Taylor and O'Farrell streets was accosted by a woman dressed in black. He had been drinking, but was capable of taking care of himself. While talking to him the woman suddeniy grab-' bed his gold watch and chain and dis- appeared into a saloon on the corner. He ran after her, but she evidently got out f a rear door, as he was unable to find er. Hunter notified Policeman Morton and since then the officer has been trying to identify the woman. He thinks he h succeeded, and the warrant for her rest was procured. Hunter values the stolen watch and chain at more than'$30. st e v Ao ey A TRIP TO THE OIL - FIELDS Southern Pacific Excursion on March Sth.
