A scnsational rald was made last night on the poker games in the rear of the | Cafe Roval by a squad of police acting under the orders of Chief of Police Witt- man and in command of Captain John Spillane of the Southern Police District. Three gamekeepers and 110 visitors were arrested and later bailed out at the Hail of Justice. 5 Two newly appointed police officers, Becker and La Grande, were detailed to | Play poker. They found that a percentage ! | game was being run in the house, and| that drinks not as “soft” as they might | | have been were being served. They filed | their report and on their statements a raid was determined upon. | Captain Spillane took with him Ser- | geants Shea, Shaw and Duke. The cap- | tain went to a door in a newly construct- ed partition which separates the gambling ' rooms from the main portions of the former saloon, pulled a string that opened | | { the latch and then walked in. H | Games were running in full blast, and | the two policemen who were gathering | evidence seemed as much surprised as did the visitors. It did not take long to in- form the latter that they were under ar- rest, and all avaflable patrol wagons were | ! called into use. In all 110 Visitors and | | three gamekeepers were booked at the | | Hall of Justice. The gamekeepers gave | | the names of Phil L. Atkinson, Charles | | Cavanaugh and W. Douglas. | | The other prisoners gave fictitious | | names and were bafled out as fast as the | | orders of release could be made out. The | I bail in the case of the visitors was fixed | | at $10 each and that of the gamekeepers at $50 each. J. M. Vicina, the bnokksep-E | er of the Cafe Roval, put up the neces- | | sary bail meney for the release of the | | prisoners, but it was nearly daylight be- fore ail were @fscharged. Hago Hornlein, B. D. Pike and J. E. Krumb, the proprie- | tors of the-Cafe Royal, were-also prasent | { and assistéd in the discharge of the | prisoners, through the bond and warrant cierk’s office. The prosecution of the arrested men will be conducted under the provision of section 76 of order 1557 of the Board of Supervisors. Captain Spillane thinks he | has enough evidence with the fifteen tables, the chips and the lay-outs that his men captured to make convictions sure. The - policemen who visited the games will also furnish testimony. The rald last night was the result of the consultations held last Tuesday between the members of the Grand Jury | and the Police Commissioners. If no con- viction results from the-raid the police are determined to follow the matter up until they secare some punitive results. Police Officers David and O'Brien raid- ed a “crap” game in a saloon at the cor- ner of Taylor end O'Farrell streets last night and arrested eleven men. The pris- oners were charged at the City Prison with violating the ordinance relating to banking games. j%wwm IAY FINDS FOR THE PLAINTIFE The case of Howard C. Holmes and Carl Uhlig vs. Paris Kilburn, P. J. Har- ney and Rudolph Herold Jr., the State Board of Harbor Commissioners, was submitted to the jury yesterday forenoon in the United States Circuit Court. The allegations in the complaint are that Holmes was employed by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners as chief engineer and that Uhlig was a draughts- man in the office of the board; that on December 21, 18%, Holmes was the orig- inal inventor of and applied for a patent on “Improvement in Wharf Construc- tions,” and that the patent was issued on April 3, 1900. It is averred also that the defendants used his patents in construct- ing wharves in this city at an expendi- ture of $276,852, and that the plaintiffs have been damaged In the sum of $27,685, that being a royalty of 10 per cent. Carl Uhlig is alleged to be the owner of a half interest in the patent. John H. Miller and Frederick S. Stratton appeared for the plaintiffs. The answer for the defendants was filed by ex-Governor Budd and Wheaton & Kalloch. It avers that all the acts done on the wharves by the board were in the performance of official duty as Harbor Commissioners and not other- wise. It denies that Holmes was the in- ventor of the patent mentioned, and avers that the invention was in public usge in this city two years before Holmes made application for the patent, and that the invention was abandoned to the pub- lie. It is further averred that Holmes re- cefved a monthly salary for his. services Lin the construction of wharves; that it was his official duty to prepare plans and specifications for the building and repair- ing of wharves under control of the State Board, and to devise and ascertain new end improved methods of constructing and repairing wharves. 1t alleges fur- ther that Holmes himself recommended to the board the improvement described in the letters patent and that they were afterward prepared by him as a part of his officlal duty as chief engineer of, the board. It avers further that Holmes and Uhlig are prohibited by part III, title VI, chapter 1, section 2336 of the Political Code from being interested in any erec- tion or repairing of wharves or like &tucmres done under contract with the ard.

Lais PROMINENT DEMOCRATS MEET AT FESTAL BOARD Dockweiler of Los Angeles Springs a Sny- der Boom at Monticello Banquet. HE annual banquet of the Monticello Club, the leading organization of the younger Democracy of San Francisco, 4 in honor of the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jeffer- son, the “Sage of Monticello,” was held at a prominent restaurant last night, and In point of attendance and en- thusiasm was an unqualified success, The presence of a number of leading Democratic politicians from the southern part of the State occasioned the spread of a rumor that the gubernatorial hoom of Mayor W. P. Snyder 6f Los Angeles would be launched. The rumor proved true, for the last speaker of the evening, Isadore B. Dock- weiler of Los Angeles. expressed the wish of the southrons that the Mayor of the Angel City be the Democratic standard- bearer, and cheers greeted Snyder’'s name. M | 5 The tables were arranged in the shape of a horseshoe, and covers were laid for 130. In the center of the turn sat Toast- master Stephen V. Costello, with Vice President W. W. McNair, who occupied the seat of honor in the absence of Pres- ident Murphy, who was unable to be present. To the left of Vice President Mc- Nair sat General James F. Smith, whose appearance at the banquet board was the ¢ignal for tremendous cheering. To, the left of General Smith was Judge Maurice T. Doollng of San Benito County and Judge C. E. McLaughlin of Plumas Coun- ty. The speakers, to the number of twen- ty-seven, sat on either side of the turn of the horseshoe, presenting an array of po- litical notables from all parts of the State. The tables were spread under a canopy of flags and their decorations of marigolds and ferns were exceedingly tasteful. B it Sends Bigrats At 9 o'clock, after the discussion of the menu, Toastmaster Costello read a num- ber of telegrams expressing the regreis of the senders at their inability to attend the banquet. Chief among these was a message from Willlam J. Bryan of Lin- coln, Nebraska, which was greeted with cheers. It was as follows: am greatly obliged to you for the invita- ll(}n axl:‘nded by the Monticello Club and re- gret that it will be impossible for me to_join %ith you in doing honor to the memory of the greatest constructive statesman known to his- tory. re one studies the writings of Jeffer- m:h(eh;m:nnre he is convinced of the wisdom, courage and patriotism of the ‘“‘Sage of Mon- ticello.” When the questions of to-day are analyzed it will befound that they are con- trolled by the principles discussed by Jeffer- son, and we have but to apply his doctrines to them to find a complete remedy. Thanking you for the honct you do me, and with best wishes for the success of your cele- ; truly yours, bration, I amvery truly yours, ~ o am from Carter H. Harrison, M’ll‘;grtglfe%rhic‘gc, ‘was loudly applauded. He declared that this celebration was never more needed than now ‘“‘when the principles for which Jefferson battled and the advocacy of which immortalized his name are sneered at as old-fashioned, ‘or openly condemned as too circumscribed for a nation such as ours.” He also sald: “What was good enough in Jefferson’s time cannot be -unwholesome doctrine The people's cause was Jefferson’'s creed. The cause of the trusts is the creed of those who scoff at Jefferson's name and Jefferson’s. teachings.” - A cablegram from James D. Phelan, dated at Venice, was warmly received. It contained six words, in'which he ex- pressed his regrets and offered his best wishes for the success of the affair. « Joseph S. Tobin sent his regrets, illness in his family being the cause of his in- ability to be present. A telegram of re- E‘rets was received from Thomas O. ‘oland, at Oxford, Alabama, as was also, one from Boer Commandant Snyman, who was detained at San Jose. He ar- rived later in the evening and was given three cheers on his entrance. Vice President McNair was the first speaker. He said -that the occasion was one of significance to the Democrats of California. He remarked that he ap- peared for President Murphy of the Mon- ticello Club who was unable to be pres- ent. He sald, with some humor, that he would enjoy speaking to the guests, but as there were ‘‘twenty-seven others” he had little to say. He hoped ther guests would enjoy themselves, as “the hall be- longed to e guests until Monday morn- "E" presentation to Booth. The vice - president told a humorous story and then introduced Toastmaster Costello’ as the “grand marshal” of the occasion. Costello took the floor amid a salvo of applause and in a few words introduced Frank H. Gould as the speak- SropeE s eat a /s Toula o & wice thing by rushing thin through as rapidly as possible. ~All he had to do was to present former Presi- -+ beneath the banner of liberty; let us take our stand beneath the apostle of the people's right, | Thomas Jefferson. | Smith Talks of Filipinds. | - Three cheers were given for Jefferson | and Farnsworth, and General James F. | Smith was introduced amid great enthus- = % ) iasm.

Sanford, Assemblyman from Men- docino County, delivered a brief address. | He told a humorous story and then dis- cussed the theme, “Democracy and Fu- ture Legislation.” He thought the -sub- | ject a broad one and he treated it from | that standpoint. It meant equal and ex- | act justice to al and special privileges to none. Democracy intended to do away with all “lsms.” It intended to say to those who demanded special privileges to “go 'way back and sit down.” The Dem- ocracy did not propose to-rob any one and it did not propose to be robbed by any one. Three-fourths of California was owned by one-tenth of the people and it was necessary to see to it that the other | nine-tenths had their rights respected. The speaker believed that 1f the moc-~ racy of California came out on the right platform a Democratic Governor would sit in the chair next year. The Demo- cratic party was the party of the people, and if the people were properly Instructed there would be no question as to the re- sult. “We will win this time,” continued the speaker, “if we stop our darned non- sense of hurling brickbats at every Popu- list who takes an interest in the Issues of the day. (Laughter.) Let us not lose heart. The government is by the people and it will prevail. Let By hearthstone, build up the home and el vate individualism. i{f we hope to wh J. C. Hughes sang a song in good style, and Hon. R. M. Fitzgerald of Oakland re- sponded to the toast of “Our Country. In quick succession - Judge Maurice T. Dooling of San Benito County spoke on, “The Workshop and the School,” R. P. Troy of San Francisco responded to the toast, “Democracy and the Trust Evil," Arthur H. Barendt delivered a humorous response to the toast, “The Press,” and J. P. Coonan won favor by his remarks on ‘“Democracy_and the Farmer.” Other ;yeakers were J. C. Sims, Curtis Hillyer, icholas Bowden of Santa Clara County, James G. Maguire, Louis de F. Bartlett, Commandant W. D. Suydam, B. V. Sar- nt, J. D. Sproul of Butte County and . B.

He told of the organiza- tion of the club and the bravery of the original members, who did not disdain to sign notes to pay any delinquency which might arise but which did not accrue. He took pleasure in returning these notes to the signers, and they were turned over one by one as being unnecessary to the cause of Democraci;. Then, alluding to the work of Past President Booth, the speaker said it would never be forgotten by the members of the Monticello Club. As a slight reminder of their affection they had clubbed together and purchased a magnificent watch and fob, suitably in- scribed. The speaker took great pleasure in presenting it in the name of the Monti- cello Club. Booth accepted the present with a mod- est address. He sald he wanted it known that his opinion was that the Monticello Club would eventually be the guidln{:tar of California Democrats. He spoke brief- ly, and his address was punctuated by vociferous applause. The toastmaster then introduced Judge E. C. Farnsworth of Visalia, who re- sponded to the toast of *“Thomas Jeffer- son.” Judge Farnsworth said: The Sage of Monticello. The greatest exponent of the spirit of demoe- racy in America was Thomas Jefferson. He | was a_profound statesman. whose teachings were the guide of the republic in its advance- ment to greatness. Jefferson was an American ‘who loved his country and whose sole aim was the discharge of his public duties with honor to himself and to his country. After an eventful life he retired to his home at Monticello, with the love of his countrymen. He was the in- carnation of the spirit of liberty, the Incarna- tion of the doctrine of human rights. Among the immortals of revolutionary fame he tow- ered a glant. HIis exalted soul and unexampled Tesources were always for the independence of the human race. ~The highest philosophic thought of all the ages, the wisdom of the seventeenth century, found its expression through the genius of Jefferson when he penned the immortal Declaration of Independence, The scroll of history contains no brighter page than this fmmortal document, which was the Magna Charta of human freedom. It is written in flame upon the hearts of a great people in iet- ters 5o plain that every child may understand it. Tt lfted on high the radiant star of hope and made the homes of Americans free. (Ap- plause.) Equal and exact justice to all, equal commerce with all nations and entangling alli- ances with none were his great principles as President of the United States.
