12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1902. AGENTS ONGOVER BAIR'S RECORD Burning of His Oakland Home Weighs Against His Name. 3 Secret Service Men Believe He Is a Member of a Gang. As the ‘secret service agents fof the United States Government delve into the past of Ulysses G. Bair, now under arrest on a charge of counterfeiting, develop- ments indicate that Bair was not alone in his work and that he was a member of a gang which for years has been sending counterfeit dollars and halves broadcast over the United States.

GASHES THAOAT, ~ SEEKING DEATH ESan Franciscan Wounds Himself in Portland f Hotel Special Dispatch to The Call. | | PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 23.—Acting from | mania presumably produced from indul- gence in liquor, A. G. Glenn of San Fran- cisco cut his throat with a jack-knife in | the Portland Hotel to-night. The wound is not serious. Glenn arrived.at the hotel Tuesday. He | spoke to several guests regarding fancied | troubles and complained that various peo- | ple were talking about him. To-day | Glenn’s behavior had not improved, and | in the course of the afternoon his friends i call n, who administered | medicine | to go to bed. This Glenn agreed to do, nd was then left in his room. About 0 o'cloek to-night a message arrived at the hotel for Glenn from a friend, and when one of the hotel mes- sengers knocked at Glenn's door he re- jceived no answer. On the door being opened Glenn was found standing near the washstand in his night clothes. Hi: throat showed a deep gash. A jack- knife covered with blood was lying near him. Medical assistance was at once se- cured, and in the interval that elapsed Glenn was heard to remark, “I did this i to get out of trouble.” OAKLAND, Jan. 23.—John Q. Glenn, brother of A. G.

The Supervisors’ Street Committee re- quested the Board of Works yesterday to furnish an estimate of the cost per block of the project to make a park of the cen- tral strip of Van Ness avenue; also an estimate of the cost of maintaining the avenue when improved from Golden Gate avenue to the bay. 4 Joseph G. Rothschild, representing pro- testing property-owners, opposed the pro- posed improvement on the ground the avenue would be useless as a parade ground and would entail great expense to maintain it. A. G. Maguire declared that it is unwise to expend the people’'s money in eriments against the wishes of the property-owners. Senator Lukens of Ala- | meda and Commissioner Manson held that | property values would be increased if the plan is carried out. T. H. Callott petitioned the committee to stop blasting on Telegraph Hill as carried on by the Cushing-Wetmore Company. Callott stated that the company was blasting on Lombard street, for which it has no permit, and a little girl was killea at Lombard and Winthrop streets several years ago. Mrs. Spellman produced a jarge rock which nearly hit her baby, who was playing in a neighbor's vard. The committee will make a personal inspection and instructed the Board of Works to ascertain whether blasting is carried on by legal permission and to report the quantity of powder used in the operation. Light Inspector Tupper reported that there are but forty corners whereon street lamps are erected upon which the names of streets are not placed. Under the con- tract for street lighting signs must also be placed on electric poles on street corners. | Lecture on London. Miss Kate E.

They surrounded the house last night. When Detectives Wren, Din- an and Reypolds broke into the den of the thieves they found, to their dismay, that the remaining two and much sougit for birds had flown. The trio of murder- ers lived in four housekeeping rooms at 203 Turk street. There they ate and slept and plotted their foul deeds. It was the first place the two murderers who es- caped made tracks for when they hurried away from the scene of their. terrible | crime. pair secreted in the house, but one glance at the tumbled interior of the rooms was enough to convince them that ‘“Kid” Goucher and “Brownie,” who were impli- cated with Jack Wade, alias Henderson, | allas’ Daly, had taken a hurried depar- ture after their return from their das- tardly night's work in the Mission. They | evidently knew that Wade had fallen into the hands of the police and that the re- | lentless. detective -sleuths would soon be seeking out their lodgings. On the very night of the murder Goucher, “‘Brownie’ and another member of the desperate gang of crooks packed up their odds and ends of property and skurried to safety under the cover of darkness. The only tangible bit of evidence found in the rooms by which the police can trace the murderers was a letter ad- dressed to William Coffman, 203 Turk street. The officers did not open it. Another Member of the Gang. This_letter was mailed from Los An- geles January 20, and in one corner of the envelope there appeared an order to the effect that if it was not called for within ten days it hould be returned to,M. Clif- ford, 312 Second street, Los ‘Angeles. Clifford was evidently the writer of the letter, but thieves are compelled to use precautionary methods to escape police detection and the name on the envelops may be a fraudulent one. Another clew that the raid developed was the connect- ing of a man named Willlam Coffman with the gang. Coffman is a rather short, stout, red-faced - fellow, with a crippled right hand. -He goes about from house to house selling moth balls and lavender powder. This occupation is sim- ply used as a wedge to gain entrance to and information about private houses, so the rest of the crooks can easily effect an entrance and ply their nefarious trade. Coffman is believed to have left the city with the assassins of Robinson, and as he is a rather well known charac- ter he can be easily traced. A Hurried Flight. About 2:30 o'clock on the morning when POKER NOT A BANKING OR PERCENTAGE GAME Manegers of the Cafe Royal and Bald- win Annex Cannot Be Held. ' Under the decision of ex-Supreme Jus- tice Van Fleet rendered by him when he was Superior Judge of Sacramento Coun- ty defining the game of draw poker as being neither .a banking nor percentage game a jury in Judge Cabaniss’ court after two minutes’ deliberation yesterday acquitted Joseph Franzini, manager of the Cafe Royal, who was charged by Police- man Rancourt of maintaining percentage poker games. After the verdict was ren- dered Judge Cabaniss dismissed a similar charge against R. Schrensky, manager of the Baldwin Annex, after announcing that a conviction was impossible under the decision of ex-Justice Van Fleet. Notwithstanding the acquittal of the proprietors, six poker-players at the Cafe Royal and a like number at the Baldwin Annex were arrested last night and charged with violating a city ordinance prohibiting the playing of the game of poker in a public place. . Three policemen of the Southern Station were sent to each place. They stepped up to one of the tables and told the players that they were under arrest. After an assurance from the managers of the games that bail would be forthcoming the players quietly submitted. e e——————— Rionhart’s Flaxseed Balsam Will cure your cough. 50 cents at all druggists, The police had hoped to find the | | knocking on one of the doors of the room where the footpads lived. Coffman, who was in the habit of retiring before the rest of the gang, was awakened and the land- lady heard him call out in ugly tones, “Who's there?” “It me: it's the ‘Kid,'" said the man who was trying to get in. “For — sake, hurry up and open the door! Something has happened,” sald the man at_the door. Mrs. Bradskey heard Coffman open the door and admit the man who calied him- self the “Kid,” whose last name she did not know. Bradskey In the morning Mrs. went dowastairs to the rooms occupied by the Fang of thugs and found that they had eft the house. When %the detectives got into the rooms they found them in a state of wild dis- order. Everything indicated that _the thieves had taken a hurried flight. Bed- clothes were tossed around, scraps of pa~ per and the lavender that Coffman sold and other things were strewn on the floor. Nothing, however, save the letter, that would give the police a clew had been left by the thieves. The bureau drawers were open. Held Disgraceful Revels. The thugs had been living in the apart- ments for about two months, but they were sullen and unsociable with every- body else in‘the house. At times they held high revel in the rooms and made considerable noise. All of the gang were more or less addicted to drink and at times they caroused and brawled among themselves in a brazen manner. On New Year’s day the crooks gave a dinner. Sev- eral habitues of the —underworld were present. They borrowed all the dishes the landlady could spare and bought a boun- tiful supply of liquor. The crooks and their female associates held wild revels until the early hours of the morning, When they all Tetired in a drunken stupor. The landlady did not know any of the men, save Coffman and Wade, by sur- names. She knew Goucher as the “Kid,” Wade as Daly and “Brownie” as 'Billy. Coffman had a dark complexioned woman with him. She was o’ rather slight build and looked as if she was a morphine fiend. The Call’s Exclusive Story. The story of Wade's confession, which was exclusively published in yesterday’'s issue of The Call, left no doubt in the minds of the police that “Kid” Goucher, a_degenerate son of ex-Senator Goucher of Fresno, and ‘‘Brownie,” a notorious crook, were the men implicated with Wade in the murder of Policeman Robin- son. Captain of Detectives Seymour de- tailed Detectives Hamill and Fitzgerald to scour the tenderloin in the neighbor- hood of Mason street to get a good de- scription of the missing assassins. Sey- mour telegraphed to the Sheriff of Fresno County and received in a reply a detailed statement of young Goucher’s criminal record in that county. He also telegraphed to the Chief of Po- lice of Sacramento to keep a sharp look- out for ‘‘Brownie,” who has a wife living there. Detectives Fitzgerald and Fisher of the Sacramento police department scoured that city, but could find no trace of the missing murderer or his wife. Murderers Have Left the City. The local police have concluded that Goucher and “Brownie” have made good their escape from this city, but as the pair are well known to the authorities of near- Iy every town on the coast they hope to capture them within the next few days. Every station along the line is being care- fully watched and if the murderers show up az any of their old haunts they will be quickly apprehended. Since the publication of The Call's ex- clusive story of. Wade's _confession of his part in the murder of Robinson and the names of the men who'were with him in the brutal killing orders have been issued by the police to allow no one to see the Erisonen ‘Wade is recovering rapidly from is wound and will soon be in condition to ‘be moved from his cot in the City and County Hospital to a less comfortabie one in the City Priso: Sl e GOUCHER’S FRESNO RECORD. As a Youth He Was Known as a Petty Thief. FRESNO, Jan. 23.— “Kid” Goucher, wanted for murder in San Francisco, is UNGUARDED ' ELEVATORS 4 CONDEMNED BY A JURY Board of Supervisors Asked to Pass an Ordinance to Remedy the Evil. ¢ A Coroner’s jury in the matter of.the death of Roy Smith, the 19-year-old drug clerk, who was ‘killed in an elevator ac-: «cident January 18 in Mack & Co.’s estab- ‘lishment, 15 Fremont street, rendered the following verdict yesterday: That the said Roy Smith came to his death through his own carelessness, and, we recom- mend that the Board of Supervisors pass an ordinance requiring a_more careful enclosure of elevators for the prevention of similar acci- dents. wherein people may be protected from their own carelessness. Coroner Leland approved of the verdict. The boy met his death by indulging a natural curiosity. He heard a crash on the lower floor and looked down the ele- vator well to see what the matter was. At that moment the elevator started u ward for the first floor and the counter- weight struck Smith on the back of the head, breaking his neck. o e fo o " Undue Influence Alleged. Annie A. Pharo, a daughter of the late Mary McSweeney, filed a contest to the probate of her late mother's will yester- day.

Mrs. Pharo also claims that the disputed will is not the last will and tes- tament of her. mother. this city, and was always spoken of as a hard character. He was addicted to petty thieving, but was ‘never in any serious trouble here on account of it. He grad- uated from the local grammar schools. and for one year was a student in the Fresno High School. During his High School term, in com- pany with another boy, voung Goucher ran away from home, but was found by officers a day or two later in Visalia. Soon afterward his father sent him away, and little is known of his record since. It is stated that Goucher subsequently went to Texas. Afterward he returned to Califor- nia, and after visiting his father in Mari- posa went to Sonora, Tuolumne County, where he was employed as a bellboy in the Victoria Hotel. He was in Fresno about two months ago for a day or two, and his acquaintances here state that he seemed to be in rather hard luck. SR IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL SERVICE Police and Civilians Pay Tribute io Officer Robinson. Funeral services over the remains of Officer Eugene C. Robinson were held at the Masonic Temple yesterday by Mis— sion Lodge No. 169, F. and A. M., of which he was a member. W. C. Ordway, the worshipful master, read the funeral service and the Mission Lodge quartet sang impressive hymns. The body was escorted to the temple by Mayor .Schmitz, Police Commissioners Hutton, Mahoney, Howell and Newhall, Chief = Wittman, Captain - Spillane and Lieutenants Birdsall, Anderson and Mar- tin. The procession of oficers which had been intended. was dispensed with owing to_the weather. The casket was covered from view by a pall of ferns relieved with moss roses. A solid mass of ofhcers sat on the left of the hall and civilians on the right, while the doorways and the passages were biocked with citizens wishing to pay re- spect by their presence to the dead. An oration over the remains was de- livered by Henry E. Highton, the attor- ney, who feelingly referred to the pain and anguish the country and all the world had surrered through the assassination of citizens. He extolled the heroic service of the late Officer Robinson and paid to his memory the tribute of a sorrowing city. He spoke of his manly and brave and honorable attributes, his ofticiency as an officer and his gentleness, which had won him the esteem of all who came in contact with him. In further alluding to the cowardly act which had deprived the city of so worthy an officer the speaker pald homage to the greatness of the American Government and _the people for their moderation even in times of disaster such as they had witnessed in the assassination of the late President and in the murder of the officer whose body lay before them. The Rev. Mr. Rader of the Third Con- gregational Church, Fifteenth street, de- livered a feeling address on the merit and bravery which belonged to the character of Officer Robinson. He was beloved by the men, women and children of the Mis- sion; he was devout in his worship and constant in his attendance at the .church. Mr. Rader said that he could not resist the temptation to refer to the increase of crime, and said that the same courage was needed in the courts as was promi- nent in the police of the city. Christian people would do better, he said, instead of coddling ex-convicts, did they give their sympaties to the brave members of the police force. They should throw fewer bouquets to criminals and instead they should throw them to the men who stand for law and peace and order.

ARE QUICK T SEE Good Doetors Are Quick to See and Appreciate Real Merit in New Medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a discovery of great value to the medical profession and the public. They are an unfailing specific in all cases of dyspepsia and disordered diges- tion. Almost everybody’s digestion is disordered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for it is to take some one of the many so- called blood purifiers, which in many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed. If the organs are in a clogged condi- tion, they need only a little help and they will right themselves. Cathartics irritate the sensitive linings of the stemach and bowels and often do more harm than good. Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in condition to be readily digested and assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it meeds. They stimu- late the secretion and excretion of the diges- tive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system' in condition to do itz pvork. When that is donme you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not agree with you, Then take one or two tab- lets—give them needed help and you will have no trouble. It's a common-sense medicine and a com- mon-sense treatment and it will cure every time, Not only cure the disease but cure the cause.
