Detectives Harper and Armstrong suc- ceeded last night in recovering a quantity of jewelry stolen by Frederick H. Weber, a burglar now in prison in Denver. The jewelry was in possession of Weber's be- trothed, to whom he sent it prior to his arrest. On learning of his incarceration, she turned the property over to her land- lady, to whom she communicated her sus- picion that the jewelry was stolen. Weber is well known to the police, he having been arrested here for highway robbery ten years ago. RS B e T s Says He Is Innocent. A well dressed young man named Wirt Selts was arrested last night by Detec- tives Ryan and O’Dea on a dispatch from San Luis Obispo charging him with rob- bery.

Phil Wand, the well-known referee, has been chosen to officiaté in the ring to- night at the contest between Perry twenty rounds before the Sacramento Athletic Club. Wand will leave this morn- ing for the scene of battle. Art Simms, the clever lightweight, Who dropped into town a few days ago, is out with a challenge to meet the winner ofl this contest. Simms came here to rest, but is willing to try his skill against any of the lightweights now on the coast. Through his manager, Tim McGrath, he announces his willingness to meet La- vigne, Heggarty, or any of the top-notch- ers. Simms is the only man who ever knocked out Jack Hamilton, the boxer who has given such able ring generals as Erne, O'Brien and others hard contests. Simms has none of the earmarks of a pugilist. He might be mistaken for a dry goods clerk. Despite his appearance, he is there with both hands, and when he lands he usually scores a knockout. The bouts to be brou ht off at the Olym- pic Club on Friday night are attracting wide attention. They have been specially arranged and the contestants will battle for handsome trophies.

Missionaries All Over the World Figure as Big Creditors. Alfred W. Dennett, whose name has been an index throughout the country foc temperance restaurants, filed papers of insolvency yesterday in the United States District Court.. He gives his occupatior as a restaurant keeper and his residente as San Francisco. Dennett's debts are figured up at $92,667 68 in the petition for insolvency. During the last ten years Dennett has not been interested in the restaurants wEich bear his name. There are seven- teen of these houses and they stretch Vast sums of money were expended in fitting up these restaurants, one in New York cost- ing $85,000. And now all that Dennett claims to have are some mining interests which_took much of his money and a $20 suit of clothes. Of the $92,667 6% debt, $52,- Nearly all the creditors reside in the Eastern States. Among the large credl- tors 1s Mrs. Ada Lee of Calcutta, India, her credit being a missionary subscrip- tion with interest at 6 e cent per an- num aggregating $15,000. The Dover- Street Mission in Boston is a creditor for a subscription of $300 and V. D. Daird of Colombo, Ceylon, is creditor for a mis- sionary subscription of $375. One of the items of indebtedness of the petitioner is §1500 due to S 8. Swain of 25 Park Row, New York, ‘“money paid for support of petitioner’s family, January and Drecember, 1900.” A. P. ‘Forbes of New York is a creditor for $13,500, se- cured by 300 shares of the commort stock of the Demmett Surpassing Coffee Com- pany. Fletcher Hamlin of New York has forty shares of the same stock to show for a credit of $4000. Mrs. N. P. H.

Dennett’s residence was formerly in New York City. He is at present a guest of George Montgomery at Beulah. Dennett Tells His Story. Mr. Dennett in an m’erview last night said the reason he had asked for letters of insolvency was that he might start anew with the assistance of friends in working his mining interests. He said: Ten years ago I failed for $270,000. At that time I hypothecated all my stock in the Den- nett Restaurant Corporation. I was com- pelled to resign my position as president of the corporation. Since then I have had no connection with any of the restaurants con- ducted under my name. I have been entirely engaged in conducting my personal affairs. Among my assets is a farm in Illinois known as the Abraham Lincoln farm. My reason for filing a_petition of insolvency was to free my- self from all complications and to protect my /| 675 is unsecured. 4 friends, who are going to start me In a mining enterprise in Mexico. A. W. Dennett commenced h{s career in a_humble Park Row coffee restaurant in New York in 1876. From that he branched out until he was known all over the United States. His restaurants grew un- til they brought him an annual income | of $150,000. He is now 63 years of age and | is preparmg to commence all over again. NEW YORKERS HOLD THEIR SECOND ANNUAL BANQUET Almost 100 Natives of Empire State Assemble Around Prettily Decorated Tables. The second annual banquet of the New Yorkers, which was held last night at the Occidental Hotel, proved a most delight- ful affair. Almost a hundred natives of the Empire State were assembled around the festal tables,’ which were daintily decorated with ferns. Around the walls of the banquet hall were strung long streamers of red, white and blue, while at each end of the room were suspended | beautiful American flags. The evening was most pleasantly passed with songs, which carried the thoughts of many of those present back to sScenes far away, and incidents which have happened in the history of their native State. The toasts were few in number, but| were rsponded to in the most happy vein. | J. E. Field paid a glowing tribute to the | greatness of the United States of Amer- | ica. W. W. Stone sang the praises of the Empire State, while J. V. Coleman pa.lq| his respects to the beauties of California. Max Popper acted as president of the | evening and concluded the speechmaking | ®ith a toast to “The Organization.” Let ters were read from Secretary George | B. Cortelyou, who sent the regrets of | President Roosevelt, and from B. B. Odell, Governor of the State of New York. President Roosevelt and Governor Odell are both honorary members of the New Yorkers' organization. —_————————— ARE TO INVESTIGATE MRS. STEPHENS' DEATH | Relatives Refuse to Believe That Un- fortunate Woman Ended Her Own Life. The relatives of the late Mrs. Emfly Stephens, who, was found dead in her‘ room with the gas turned on and a partly | emptied bottle- of muriatic acid on the | bureau, refuse to accept the general be- lief that the unfortunate woman com- mitted suicide. Her brother, Frank Spen- cer, has started an investigation of the circumstances surrounding her death. He has had the stomach removed and sent | 1o the city chemist for examination. He says he is convinced that she did not take | her own life, but that she was slowly | poisoned to death. Spencer says that he will file charges with the police to-day. In the investigation which he made yes- terday Spencer claims that he discovered that while his sister was supposed to be breathing her last a neighbor, Mrs. Brown, heard cries of “Help,” ‘“Murder” and ‘“Police.” He says that he also dis- covered that a door and a window leading into the room where his sister was lying were open. This, he claims, disproves the theory that her ‘death was partly due to the poisonous vapor. Henry Borgwardt, a butcher's boy, will be depended upon by Spencer to bear out his statement in regard to the open door and window. He will also endeavor to prove that poison was introduced into medicine that was being taken by Mrs. Stephens. —————————— Sewage, as a Fertilizer. The Board of Public Works has re- quested the Board of Supervisors to per- mit the extension of the H-street sewer to a temporary outfall near Twentieth avenue. It is proposed to) deliver the sewage Into the dunes of Golden Gate | Park to fertilize trees, said to be dying.

HBHTS SGORES dINGLE-HANDED American _ Lieutenant’s Brave Charge Near Cavite. MANILA, Nov. 25.—Second Lieutenant Louis J. Van Schaeck of the Fourth In- fantry, while scouting with a few men of that regiment, met 150 insurgents who had attacked and sacked the hamlet of Sia- raca, near Cavite. Upon seeing the Fili- pinos, Van Schaeck ordered his men to charge them. The command was obeyed, and Van Schaeck, being mounted, reached the insurgents sixty yards in advance of his men. He killed three of them with his revolver. An insurgent fired his re- volver point blank at Van Schaeck, but missed. The lieutenant was then knocked from his horse. He jumped to his feet anfl engaged in a hand to hand conflict with the enemy, using the butt of his'revolver. He sus- tained two severe wounds, one of which nearly severed his wrist. At _this point the lieutenant’s men ar- rived, rescued him and put the insur- gents to flight. Van Schaeck is in the military hospital in Manila and is doin; well. He had already been recommende for a medal of honor for bravery in a previous engagement. General Hughes, commander of the De- partment of the Visayas, reports that ne- gotiations are about compbpleted for the surrender of the insurgent leader Sam- son, on Bohol Island. This surrender will doubtless end_the revolution against the American authority in Bohol, as Samson | is acknowledged to be the greatest insur- gent leader therc.

Zeefo & Co. of San Francisco to recover possession of $4657, asserted to be on deposit in the State Bank and Trust Company of Los Angeles to the credit of Simeon Ivanov Grin. It is alleged that the money was given by the plaintiffs to be used in their business in the Russian Empire, but that Grin converted the money to his own use, and under the as- sumed name of Valentine Senaska depos- ited the money with the Los Angeles bank. A temporary restraining order was issued to prevent a withdrawal of the money from the bank pending the trial of the case. RIVER SWIRLS ON BEER KEGS Cars of Freight Train Topple Into the Sacramento. DUNSMUIR, Nov. 25.—While rounding a curve near Delta, about twenty-four miles south of this place, nine cars of the south-bound fast freight train left the track this morning anu were demolishad Two of the cars, one loaded with beer and the other with vegetables, were pro- cipitatéed down the emvankment into the Sacramento River. Although the track is badly torn up for a considerable distance, the two wreck- ing crews now at work clearing away tie debris will put it in condition for trains in & few hours. No cause is known for the wreck, although it is supposed that the rails spread beneath the heavily load- ed train. The most remarkable thing in connec- tion with the wreck s that nobody was hurt. Twenty tramps were beating their way in a boxcar and four others were riding the rods under a car which turned completely over, but ail escaped without a scratch. INJURED IN A SMASH-UP.
