HAYS TALKS ABOUT THE CLIMATE, BUT PARRIES POINTED QUESTIONS Southern Pacific President Returns From t he East and Talks of Double Track to San Jose and Bay Cut-off, but Declines to Discuss Possible Changes Among His Numerous Assistants — ot gofe RESSED in a light summer suit and a rakish straw hat, Presi- dent Charles M. Hays of the Southern Pacific arrived here vesterday in his private car. He came West from Ogden on train No. 5 and it rolled into the depot at the Oakland mole on time to the minute. With Hays seated in -his car with an official time- table on a table close to his right hand, this difficult and very unusual feat be- came apparently easy of accomplishment. it is hinted that the tip was'passed along the line to the operating officials that there would be trouble in the air if the A Call reporter who went up the road to meet President Hays and interview president in his private car. Mr. Hays was affable as usual, and perfectly will- |} ing to talk. He talked about the heat in Chicago—the cool breezes that refreshed one when nearing the coast and the | glorious climate of California, but he was uncommunicative concern- Pacific and smilingly parried each and every question touching upon the subject of possible or prospeetive changes.

Doolittle of the St. Nicholas. The officials of the Bank of California are worried over a clever forgery, by which they are out $500. Yesterday ex- Judge Allen, attorney for the bank, vis- ited police headquarters and endeavored to secure a warrant for the arrest of the alleged forger, whose name is said to be Walter Sailing. Up to within a few months Sailing, who is said to be well connected, was employed by W. M. Du Val & Co., commission merchants at 221 Front street. several weeks ago. and, failing to pro- cure other employment, he went to Chi- cago. Being short of funds, it i{s claimed, Sailing forged the signature of his for- mer employer to a check for $500. ‘tne check was cashed by a Chicago bank and sent to this city for cancellation. After it had been honored by the Bank of California the cashier suspected that the signature was not genuine. He lost no time in sending for Mr. Du Val. The latter .pronounced the signature a for~ gery and asked the bank officials to co- operate with him in landing the forger. The Chicago police department was appealed to, and after an investigation wired here that Salling was the forger. Pending the issuance of a warrant for Sailing’s arrest the Chief of Police of Chicago was asked to keep him under surveillance. Yesterday Mr. Allen,. who has charge of the legal business of the bank, visited the warrant and bond clerk’'s office in the Hall of Justice and asked for a warrant for the arrest of Sailing. The complaint was duly drawn up, iut as there was no-Judge present to sign the warrant the attorney said he would call to-day and have the necessary document issued. TIt-is the intention of the bank officials to ask Captain Seymour, as soon as the warrant is issued, to wire the Chlcafo police to arrest Sailing. An offi- cer*will then be sent to bri hi; to_this city. b AT Sailing has heretofore been. considered an honorable young- man by his former employers. The internal dissensions in the families of James H. Doolittle of the St. Nicholas Hotel and Major Joseph Knowlton, his | brother-in-law, are taking a wide rami- fication, as Dr. Henry S. Welch, father of Lieutenant Welch, who married Miss Knowlton, has jumped into the breach to defend the character of the father or his daughter-in-law. ¢ Dr. Welch and his wife have lived at the St. Nicholas for the past seven years. The arrest of Major Knowlton on the charge of felony embezzlement on complaint of Doolittle, followed by $he threat by Doo- little that he would swear out sixteen other warrants for Knowlton's arrest on the charge of misdemeanor embezzlement, roused Dr. Welch to a pitch of fury. Thursday night he declared to several other guests in the hotel that he would kill Doolittle and he raised such a dis- turbance that he was arrested by Police- man Nolting on a charge of disturbing the peace and Being drunk. He was released on cash bail, but yesterday morning when he received notice to leave the hotel he made another display of his feelings to- ward Doolittle and raised such a racket that he was again arrested for disturbing the peace. Doolittle also swore to a com- plaint charging him with threats to kill, Prison. On this charge his bonds were fixed in $2000 or $1000 cash. Dr. Welch was taken before Judge “I might have spoken in 2 loud voice, but my voice is naturally shrill. I had no intention of disturbing the peace. I ob- Jjected to this dirty business. My son is married to a daughter of Major Knowlton ly treated. I have been a guest in the hotel for the past seven years.” The doc- tor talked in such a loud voice that the Judge had to caution him that he was not deaf. He was sent to the City Prison ana the cases continued till to-day. It was arranged yesterday in Judge Fritz's court that Major Knowlton should get his clothing and personal effects from the St. Nicholas Hotel and in Judge Mo- gan's court that no warrants would be sworn out for his arrest on the charge of misdemeanor embezziement till after the Judge had given his decision on the motion to dismiss the felony charge of embezzlement against Kirowlton, which will be argued this morning. Lived Beyond His Means, Carl T. Bachem, who was employed as a bookkeeper for the Benjamin Schloss Crockery Company, 403 Market street, was sentenced by Judge Mogan yester- day to six moaths in the County Jail on each of two charges of misdemeanor and embezzlement. The original charge against him was felony embezzlement, but Schioss was willing that the minor charges be substituted for the sake of the defendant’s family. Bachem ' admitted that he had lived beyond his means, but £aid he had been taught a lesson. e olgeec Camera Club Sees Bcotll.nd.‘ Crocker Property Transferred. Judge Sloss made an order yesterday granting the petition of Charles S. Green and Henry T. Scott for permission to sell the property belonging to the children of the late Charles F. Crocker, at the cor- ner of Powell and Geary streets. The sale of the property, however, will be in the nature of a transfer of the deed from the hands of the guardians to tie Crocker Hotel Compafy, which was incorporated to erect a hostelry on the property named. The erection of the hotel will begin with- in the next few months. Low Round-Trip Rates West-Bound for Homeseekers.

Coming over on the ferry-boat President Hays gave out a few facts about the fu- ture policy of the road, but in reference to changes in the personnel of his staff he parried all questions with the ease of a diplomat. He says with the appointment of J. C. Stubbs as traffic director of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line and O. R. and N. roads greater resuits can be achieved; that the consoli- dation of these roads does not mean that expenses will be cut and that improve- ments will be stopped, but that the bet- terment of the roads is assuted. The project of shortening the road of the Central Paqjfic and straightening the curves over the mountains Hays said will be acted upon by the executive board of the Southern Pacific. of which Mr. Harri- man is chairman. Business of great im- poriance has so far occupled the time of the board, but he expects that the matter will be taken up very shortly and that the work will then be pushed with vim. He also said he thought the traffic be- tween San Francisco and San Jose war- ranted a double track: that work on the bay shore cut-off would be commenced in the fall, as the right of way had been se- cured. The application to operate this new road in the Mission would be brought &( b;fore dthe Boan{ ‘ot Supervisors in ober and no opposition from is anticipated. g President Hays was accompanie sister and brother-in-law, ]&r. agdb}i(};i: W. H. Craig of St. Louis. On the trip across the bay President Hays, with evi- dent pleasure, pointed cut to his guests the battleships in the bay and different points of interest along the shore. At the ferry building they entered a carriage and were driven to the Third and Townsend streets station, where the traln was taken for Mr. Hays' country residence at Menlo Park. LARGE PLUNS OF PATRONAGE IREINSIGHT Sené.tor Bard Insisting That Rowell Go to Japan. | Perkins in Favor of General Barnes, but Is Committed to the Fresno Man. RS LS Ex-Senator Earl of Alameda Aspires to Fame in Congress—Postmasters of Oakland and San Francisco. e Several members of the California Con- gressional delegation, the Governor of the State, United States Senator Perkins and legion of leading Republicans believe at General W. H. L. Barnes should be appointed United States Minister to Ja- pan. Before the general was mentioned for the position Senator-Bard indorsed Dr. Chester Rowell of Fresno for the place and obtained from the senior Senator a promise to second the indorsement. Sen- ator Perkins is therefore committed to the support of Dr. Rowell, but he is not unmindful of the fact that President Mc- Kinley and any number of leading citi- zens of the State entertain the highest re- gard for General Barnes and recognize that he possesses the ability and educa- tion to serve his country in high station. If Senator Bard insists on the fulfillment of the agreement in respect to the Rowell President to appeint Dr. Rowell. It' is the judgment of well-informed pub- lic men, in view of this condition, that the President will give the Japanese mis- sion to a leading man of some State other than California and tender to General Barnes a mission to Europe. A When Benjamin Harrison was elected President a strong sentiment existed in favor of a Californian for the Cabinet. The President favored John F. Swift, but the Congressmen and members of the Legislature indorsed M. M. Estee. Presi- dent Harrison did not appoint either to the Cabinet, buc he at once appointed Mr. Swift Minister to Japan. Candidates for Congress. One of Alameda County’s favorite sons, ex-Senator Guy C. Earl, is said to be am- bitious for fame in Congress. So violent is the fever of ambition that he is seri- ously considering the sliggesuon to enter the race against Victor Metcalf for the Republican_nomination in the Oakland District. The_ex-Senator is rich as well as aspiring. Recent sale of his holdings in the Earl Fruit Company placed ready cash at his command, and cash properly placed in fields of political strife may in- spire a deal of legitimate enthusiasm in a community and sometimes secure a few votes in a convention. Color is given to the story of Mr. Earl’s aspiration by the faét that he has volunteered his legal ser- Vices in behalf of the people in a contest wherein the Contra Costa Water Com- pany is seeking to compel Auditor Breed to audit certain bills of the water corpor- ation. In the light of rumors that Judge Henshaw is ready to enter the fight for the United States Senatorship, and that Mr. Earl is looking for"an opening in_the lower house of Congress, George C. Per- kins and Victor H. Metcalf should hasten to_inspect their own political fences. Oakland is a progressive community, and progress signifies change. A new Postmaster will represent:one of the im- pending changes. If Senator Perkins were minded to grasp all the patronage within his reach he might name the new Postmaster, but he has surrendered his claims in this regard to Congressman Metcalf. Politicians who are fond of tracing the future growth and expansion of yourg statesmen predict that State Senator C. Smith DF Kern will make his mark in Congress, It is predicted that he will have a walkover for the Republican nomina- tion for Congress in the new Eighth Di: trict of this State. As a campalgner Se ator Smith has no superiors and few equals in that region of California. His nomination will mean his election. San Francisco Postoffice.

The story éoes that Mr. Loud promised to support Colonel George Stone for Post- master, but the latter wanted something different. The position that suits Colonel Stone’s fancy is gracefully if not per- manently filled by Colonel John P. Irish. ‘When one talks to the President it may be assumed that one.speaks his mind. So when Colonel Stone told the President that he preferred the naval office it is fair to infer that he was not taiking through his tile. Wise men of the East and prophets of the West predict that there will be no immediate change in the naval office. Colonel Irish, the holder, possesses many Christian virtues, some inherited, some achieved and others thrust upon him, but resignation, an admirable virtue withal, {s not a prevailing one. He will not resign. He will not be removed. Hence Colonel Stone must build his hopes on either the death or promotion of Col- onel Irish. Meanwhile Colonel Stone may solace himself with the refiéction that the position was not bestowed upon one hold- ing lesser rank than that of colonel. Mr. Montague has Julius Kahn's “‘un- divided” support for Postmaster, and Julius insists that the patronage belongs to him because the Postoffice is in the Fourth District. Albert Gerberding, ex+ president of the Produce Exchange and the Bohemian Club and ex-Bank Commis- sioner, is talked of for Postmaster. Ex- Supervisor J. B. Stetson is also mentioned for the office There will be no contest if Mr. Loud agrees to join in recommending Mr. Montague, but if the Congressman of the Fifth falls to agree the United States Senators may intervene. Such in- tervention would be water on Al Ger- berding’s wheel. e St THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. Active Work on the Line of District tion. A large delegation of active Republicans of the Twenty-ninth Assembly District visited the headquarters of the Republican Primary League in the Baldwin Annex last evening. The directors of the league were assured that the movement for good municipal government will be earnestly supported by the anti-boss Republicans of the Twenty-ninth District. The league last night resolved to ap- point an executive committee of eleven prominent Republican citizens to assist the board of directors in the work of the municipal campaign. The names will probably be announced , to-night. The plans of district organization adopted by the league are simple and promise to se- cure the co-operation of an army of Re: publican voters. One hundred books, each containing perforated blanks, with stubs for twenty-five names, will be sent to every one of the eighteen Assembly dis- tricts. It is possible therefore by active work in canvassing to obtain 2500 members in a district. The canvassers are the hold- ers of the books, and all Republicans will be 'requested to join the movement for good government under the auspices of the Republican party. Last evening the league was engaged in framing an address to the Republican voters of San Francisco urging all who have not registered for the primary elec- tion to register without delay. One of the chief purposes of the organization is to awaken the citizens to a sense of the im- portance of the primary election. Two sessions of the league yesterday were devoted to negotiations to bring about harmonious action of all the anti- boss elements of the party. Friends of the league entertain the hope that careful consideration will: be given to so-called offers of compromise. It 1s yet fresh in the minds of the people of San Francisco that an ‘organization formed two years ago under the banner of clean politics and anti-boss rule became so badly infected with Phelanism that Horace Davis, the Republican nominee for Mayor, was be- trayed and knifed by the pretended cham- pigns of reform. Internal Revenue Collector John C. Lynch, accompanied by Johnny Macken- zie of Santa Clara, passed through Los Angeles day before yesterday on the way to meet Colonel D. M. Burns, re- turning from Mexico. The official duties of the internal office do not weigh heayily on Collector Lynch’'s mind when political schemes require his personal attention. Senators Smith, Caldwell and Belshaw may take notice of the Collector's ab- sence from his post of duty..
