Shortly after 7 o'clock Knowles went into a cloth- ing store on Washington street, near Montgomery, kept by A. Lichtenstein, and after buying a suit of clothes pre- sented a check for $100 indorsed by Ever~ ett Prince, also a discharged member of the army. Suspecting that the check did not be- long to Knowles Lichtensteln summoned . Detective Coleman, who placed Knowles under arrest. After being taken to the City Prison Knowles broke down and admitted that he had stolen the check from Prince while en route to this city from Manila. An- other check for $100, which he had stolen at the same time from Sergeant Edward Dayis, was found in his possession. He will be turned over to the United States authorities “to-day. ————— Calendars for 1802. “California Poppy,” *“California Wild Flower,” *Indian,” “Chinese,” “Japa- nese” and “Pipe Rack” calendars are the l‘}e&i for 1%02.

LIQUOR MEN MAY HAVE LICENSES REVOKED v Those Using Slot Machines for Gam- bling Cited to Appear Before Commissioners. The Police Commissioners have in- structed Chief Wittman to make a full report of the number of nickel-in-the-slot machines seized during the present rald, with the names and addresses of the sa- loon-keepers and grocers who used them for gambling purposes. He has been fur- ther instructed to cite them to appear before the board next Tuesday night to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. At the meeting of the board Friday night the Chief laid before the Commis- sioners the section of the charter which gives them the power to order the ma- chines destroyed and Commissioner Wal- lace said it was good law, confirming the opinoin of the District Attorney. The Chief stated that other saloon-keepers and grocers have now got rid of these gambling machines for fear of arrest. Seventeen arrests have been made and an equal number of machines seized. Of the seventeen men arrested, eight have been convicted and fined, five cases con- tinued till Tuesday and four till Thurs- day. In Judge Fritz's court yesterday H. Schroeder, George H. Hayes and George Wobber appeared for sentence. They had an attorney with them and asked for new trials. The Judge contin- ued the cases till Tuesday to hear the attorney’s reasoms, but Hayes and Schro their fine of $ ler came into court later and paid | of entertainment each.
