The Master Plumbers ended their con- vention in a burst of glory yesterday. An excursion trip arcund the bay in the Gen- eral Frisbie occupied the day, and a ban- quet at Golden Gate Hall at night was the final festivity of the gathering. Th amer left the Mission-street pier at shortly after half past 9 o'clock. Three hundred and sixteen passengers were on the boat, not counting the musicians, who played national airs and ragtime till they were permanently red In the face. The vessel steered southward along the water front, out past the Union Iron Works and the Risdon Iron Works and ther back and along the front, giving the visitors a complete view of the shipping in the harbor. The course was then laid past Alcatraz and Angel Island. Mare Island navy-yard was the objective point. An elaborate dinner was served in the dining-room from 11 to half past 2 o'clock. The steamer cruised past Port Costa and Benicia and back-eut of the straits and | up to Mare Island, and an hour was spent seeing the sights at the navy yard. Gar- 16tt Sweeney, Samuel Ickleheimer and F. J. Klimm charge of the excursion arrangements. The members of the local association busied themselves in seeing that guests, the visiting delegates to the State convention and their wives and daugh- ters, enjoyed every minute of the trip: The banquet last night was attended by 350 persons.

PETERSBURG, April 2i.—While Balascheff, the man who assassinated the Minister of the Interior, M. Sipiaguine, April 14, was recalcitrant throughout the preliminary examination, his testimony developed the significant fact that the as- sassin had in his pocket a sealed envelope addressed to M. Pobiedonostaef, the chief procurator of the holy synod. It is in- ferred from the finding of this envelope had M. Pobiedonostaef carried out his purpose of going to the ministerial offices April 14, the day that Siplaguine was gssassinated, he would have been killed ¥nstead of the Minister of the In- terior. The discovery of this envelope is considered confirmation of the theory that a_conspiracy against several Rus sian officials existed. Form Brakebeam Trust.

Murder Is the Result of Inter- ruption While Robbing a House. Special Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE, April 24.—Just before starting on #the trip for California late to- night to face the charge of murdering Hugh Duffey in Sacramento, Frank War- drip, allas Wade, alias Cook, confessed that he was, guilty. The confession was first obtained through a ruse. Sheriff Nay- lor this morning placed in Wardrip's cell a “stool pigeon,” who gained Wardrip's confidence during the day. Wardrip, who was arrested under the name of Wade, | confided that he was gullty of the crime laid agalnst him, and begged his fellow- prisoner to help him. He stated his real name was Wardrip, and that his father, David Wardrip, and his sister, Miss Nellle Wardrip, now live at Neldoe, Meade Coun- ty, Kentucky. Wardrip asked his cell- mate to write them, explaining his pre- dicament, and request money to aid him in fighting the case. He then told how he had committed the crime. He and a boy, he stated, had bro- ken into a house in Sacramento to com- mit burglary. The boy remained on the outside to watch while Wardrip went through the house. Duffey, a neighbor, came up, according to Wardrip, and selzed the boy on the outside. Wardrip says he found a revolver lying on a table in the house, Hearing the struggle outside, he picked up the weapon, went to the win- dow and fired, killing Duffey. The two criminals then escaped. ‘Wardrip asked his fellow-prisoner to come to California as soon as released to help prove an alibi. The confidant of the murderer promptly told Sheriff Naylor. ‘The Sheriff and Detective Fisher of Sac- ramento confronted Wardrip with the other prisoner and with Carl Dalbert, who gave the first information to the authori- ties. Wardrip finally weakened and ad- mitted the truth of the stories. He de- clared he was ready to go back to Saec- ramento and take his punishment. Sheriff Naylor, Detective Fisher and Dalbert left shortly before midnight with Wardrip for Sacramento. s SATUSALITO POOLROOMS MUST PAY MORE MONEY SAUSALITO, April 24—The City Trus- tees of Sausalito met in speclal session this afternoon, having been called to- | g@ether by Mayor Jacques Thomas for the consideration of ralsing the poolroom license, as well as to determine to whom such privilege should be granted. After considerable discussion a vote was taken and the license, which has hereto- fore been $300 per quarter, was increased to $500 per quarter. The desire of some | of the taxpayers of Sausalito to raise the | license to $1500 per quarter, which wish was granted by the old board of Trustees, | but reconsidered at the last council meet- {ing by the incoming board, did not meet | with the approval of the members to- | day. In_ the matter of who should be | licensed fo run the games Harvey and iDflroux were the only ones receiving per- mits. daedig i Rag Growth of Trusts in England. LONDON, April 24.—A. J. Balfour, the Government leader, answering a ques- tion in the House of Commons to-day re- garding the growth of trusts in England and whether the Government would-ap- point a committee to inquire into the sub- | ject, said the Government did not think that the subject at present was ripe for the kind of inquiry suggested. New German Tariffs. BERLIN, April 24.—The Tariff Commit- tee of the Reichstag, to-day fixed a uni- form duty of 18 marks 75 pfennigs (34 50) per double center (220 pounds) on all flours, pearl barley, semoilina, grits and other millers’ prodiicts made from grein.

Rivales and Her Daughter. The charges preterzed by Mrs. Henrletta J. Swales agalnst Jaities B. Sykes, teacher in the commercial law department of the Lincoln School, before the Board of Edu- cation has developed the professor’s orig- inality in letter writing. Both Mrs. Swales and her daughter were greatly disturbed yesterday over the allegation that they were attempting to blackmail Sykes and to refute so - grave an accusation they produced the original Jetters sent them by Sykes in which he asks for loans of money, which were ac- commodatingly made. Miss Swales declares that in reply to Sykes’ requests she handed to him on sev- eral occasions sums amountirfg in all to $465, the result of three years' savings when acting as bookkeeper in the city. The rather remarkable letters, were sub- mitted to the Board of BEducation as a corroboration of the charges, and Mrs. Swales further adds that she laid before the board promissory notes signed by kes. Sifiee” following was addressed to Miss Swales: SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 1900. Dear Lily—As you suggestéd, I spoke to my mother about that money and there was & ter- Tible scene. She sald she did not care what happened to me and that even if she wanted to it would be impossible to raise the money. To-day I kept out of sight, but to-morrow it nothing happens I will be in an awtul fix. 1f you can let me have one hundred and twenty-five dollars I can crawl through, as I expect some money from Ross. I will glve you any kind of interest and the best secyrity. This 18 the last time I will want help, but have nowhere elsc to turn mow. God's ip me out if you can. O Ahything can be done, come dowh to the office to-morrow at 10 and' I will be there. If You fail me 1 am rulned. Yours sincerely For Miss Swales says she acceded to the re- quest and readily handed Sykes the $125. Then another application for money came in the following letter: July 24, 1900. Dear Lily—I got your kind letter this morn- ing and since being up at your place have altered a whole lot. Things are £o entangled, however, through the money lost by Ross and Curry, that I am too nervous to think of anything else. Everything is going to be all right, but meanwhile 1 have to have a hundred dollars at least to square myself and haven't the re- motest idea. of Where to get it, as brokers won't lend money, and I have very little com- ing on the fifth. No more monkey business; I am going to keep busy till 12 every night, and then I'll be so tired I will have to go home and sleep. This is the Rubicon, and if I can pass it there'll be no more trouble as business will keep me occupled, and that's my salvation. T hate to impose on you any further, but if you can help me do 5o, as something awful might happen 1t you don't right away. Yours in trouble, JIM. “I received that letter on the date it was written,” sald Miss Swales, ‘‘and, feering from the wording of the epistle, that he meant to commit suicide I loaned him $100 more. In January, 1801, I wrote him, telling him his note for $125 was about to mature and I extended the time for one year and eight months. The same night he received a note for $400. On February 26, 1901, I met him with a lady. He introduced her as his wife, and 1 asked him later why he came to my mother’s house posing as a single man. He had_been paying honorable attention to me. I told him I wanted nothing more to say to him and requested him to pay me the money he had borrowed from me. “He replied: ‘I won't pay a damned cent.” hereupon I warned him that I would go to the Board of Education and complain. Sykes said: ‘F'Il make it so hot I'll run you out of town.’ I replied: ‘All right, Jim. Tl fight to the bitter end.’” However, he consented to pay back the money at $20 a month and for sev- eral months he did so, in small amounts, aggregating in all $203, leaving a balance of $261, with interest amounting to about $45. His payments stopped, and as Christmas was near at hand my mother made a request for the continuance of the installments and received an eccentric and altogether unsatisfactory reply.” Both Mrs. and Miss Swales declare they haves been living in dread and misery through letters which have been written and threats made by Sykes. On March 4, 1902, a letter signed John Prosek, attorney-at-law, San Francisco, was received by rs. Swales, in which the attorney, on behalf of Sykes, warns Mrs, Swales that here goln% before the Board of Education would be construed as an attempt to injure Mr. Sykes’ char- acter. by slander. also de- mands from “Mrs. Swales the sum of $5000 for slander committed against sald Sykes iIn_this city and county”; also the sum of $200 for legal services performed by Mr. Sykes, who practices as an attor- ney independently of his position in the School Department. Attorney-at-Law Prosek also asks in his letter If Mrs. Swales has any idea as to what the suit she threatened would cost, and attempted to dissuade her from carrying out her determination by telling her that he and his client would, of course, insist on a jury trial, which would cost her $3% a day in advance, which expenditute would go on for many many days. Attorney Prosek continues and warns Mrs. Swales that he will take the case to the Supreme Court, should he not secure Jjustice for Mr. Sykes elsewhere, and re- minds the lady that such an act on his part would put the matter off for three years. “You will have to pay many times 3200 for attorney’s fees alone,” he adds. Then Attorney Prosek goes on to ad- vise Mrs. Swales that should she not get judgment, which he declares is ‘‘utterly Impossible,” it would put them in a “very ugly position.” Attorney-at-Law Prosek tells Mrs. Swales, in conclndlnf his letter in behalf of his client, that before taking the step she should consider the matter thoroughly, as it could only result in a loss to her of thousands of dollars. Mr. Prosek concludes his advice as follows: “I have advised Mr. 8. (Sykes) that if ‘vou should go to the board to-morrow it will be three vears before you get an- other cent, taking for granted that you glet a judgment, which is utterly impossi- o What with the Sykes indebtedness and the $5000 damage talk of Attorney Prosek the ladies declare that they have been ai- most beside themselves. e iy OFFICIAL.

Fire Commissioner Hecht appeared be- fore the Supervisors’ Fire Committee yes- terday and submitted a report of his ob- servations of salt water auxiliary systems successfully used in the East for fire pro- tection. After hearing Commissioner Hecht's explanation the committee re- quested that the Fire Commissioners des- ignate a district in which mains shall be laid for the purpose and thereupon the city engineer will be directed to prepare plans and estimates for the auxiliary sys- tem, a proposal to establish which will be Incorporated in the bond issue. Cgmmissioner Hecht took occasion to tell' of the difficultles under which his commission had been laboring owing to the refusal of the Spring Valley Company to supply water necessary for fire-fighting purposes. Hecht said that at nearly every meeting of the commission held during the last two years some request had been made of the water company, but all had been either refused or ignored. Assistant Chief Engineer Forbes of the company denied that any promises had been made or_ violated. The Street Committee referred the peti- tion of property owners that Polk street be graded to the bay shore to the Board of Works for investigation, and the peti- tions for the repaving of Larkin and Fill- more streets were referred to the Finance Committee, with the recommendation that the work be done if there are funds available therefor. The committee re- ported in favor of the construction of sewers in K street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues, and China avenue, be- tween Paris and Mission streets, and the grading of Castro street betwéen Twenty- sixth and Army streets. The petition of the San Francisco La- Piano for piano, grade for grade, quality can for quality, we save you money. If you THINK you can do better elsewhere you’re being deceived— a piano is a very diffi- cult thing to rightly choose—you are practi- cally at the mercy of the dealer—no other San Francisco concern has the output of Koh- ler & Chase, no other San Francisco concern buys in the quantity we do, and none can sell the same grades we offer at a lower price than ours— you're absolutely safe if you purchase here. 28 O'Farrell §t. near Stockten St. S.F Desirable location, | unsurpassed cuisine, unequaled ser- vice and modern conyeniences are the attributes that have made these two ho- tels popular with tourists and _travel- ers who visit San Francisco. bor Council that street sweepers be not required to wear uniforms was referred to the Board of Works for action. ———— Search Hills for Missing Boy.
