The | burglar_stopped breathing. Mrs. Walters could not see any one in | the darkness, but she had a presentiment that there was a man in the room. She | nudged Miss Mae Clark, who was sleep- ing at her side, and whispered her sus- | picions to her. ' Both sat up in_bed and peered through the darkness. The bur- glar could not hold his breath for fear | of being asphyxiated. He gasped for air and was discovered. Mrs. Walters and her companion did not yell-gut, “There’s a man in the room,” but they did attempt to lock the door in the hope of capturing the intruder. Both jumped out of bed and grappled with the burglar. He struggled and they screamed. The more he struggled the | louder the ladies yelled, until the peace- | ful hotel resounded with their cries. ! GAINES TO THE RESCUE. The burglar struggled to escape and the | 1adies clung to the skirts of his overcoat. Thelr cries awakened Terry “McGovern’ Gaines, an Olympic Club athlete. Gaines | jumped out of bed and donned a dres | ing-gown. He grasped his revolver and valiantly set out for the rescue. Be- fore he reached the scene, howev. bold, bad burglar had slipped out of his overcoat and the ladies sat down with force enough to rattle their back teeth. Mrs. Walters and Miss Clark bravely | tdok up the chase, but the intruder had | made his escape. Mr. Gaines then learned | the cause of the trouble from the two | 1adies. who stood behind their door. An | examination of the overcoat revealed the | plunder that_the crook intended taking with him. No clew to his identity was found. Gaines turned the ccat over to Officer Wilson and_the Jast named report- ed the matter to Captain Martin. | Detectives have been detailed case, but as yet have not been able to {land the burglar. The ladles are now looked upon as heroines by their friends, but they bear their honors modestly. on the St. Charles Parish Outing. A special meeting of the committee ap- pointed to arrange for the annual outing ot Bt. Charles parish, which is to be held at Glenwood Park in the Santa Cruz Mountains June 11, took place at the res- lidence of Rev. Father James McDonald { on. Monday evening. J. J.

More Evidence of Crooked Work by Missing Man Discovered. —— The detectives engaged in the search for Frederick B. Conway, the default- ing clerk of Police Judge Mogan's court, recefved information yesterday which ' seems to indicate that Conway was one of | ) the passengers on board the United | States transport Buford when she sailed for Manila at noon on Monday. Coupled | with this news is the additional discov- | that Conway{s peculations were not | ery confined to his embezzlement of ball money, but to fines as well. Inquiry yesterday developed that Con- way stole $100 a few days before his ex- posure, that sum being the amount of a fine imposed upon a Chinese for sell- ing opfum without a physician’s pre- scription. The money was paid in open | court, and Conway took charge of the! coin. Conway’s record showed that the was dilsmissed, while the record | pt by Judge Mogan proves that the fine | was imposed. | It is now believed that the investiga- | tion now being made will develop similar | Expert Elliott is busily engdgelli | | | | task, but he declines to say how ful his efforts have been. It is ain, however, that Conway’s records show beyond question that only a small part of his crookedness has been exposed, and that other fines which ould have been paid into the city treas were disposed of by Conway at the | racetrack or in the gratification of the | numberless pleasures for which he had a{ | cert will weakness. GRAND JURY INTERESTED. The Grand Jury will take the matter | in_hand at its meeting to-day, and his indictment on charges of forgery and em- | lement is a certainty. District At- | i v .Byington has completed his wori the matter of presenting evidenc against Conway, and there is enough to ct him a dozen times over. His for- | ¢ of the name of M. Walker to an order for $15 bail in the case of L. T.! Walkman is one of the strongest weap- ons held against him by the prosecution. Three other cases, all of which prove Conway’s guilt, will be brought to ths attention of the Grand Jury, and his in- | dictment is_confidently expected. This will bring the machinery of the law in | play against him, and all subsequent evi- dence of wrong doing on his part will be | merely cumilative. | It will be two wecks before the work of the expert on Conway's books will be cempleted, thi; so that it is impossible at| time’ to state even approximately amuont of his defalcation. The fact‘ he appropriated fines to his, own was not discovered until yesterday, | so that his field of operations was greatly | | enlarged. That the city will be a suf- | | ferer to a large amount is generally be- lieved. MAY BE AT SEA. Chief of Detectives Martin said yester- day that he had searched the city dili- gently for some trace of Conway, but He is now convinced without succes: ths y IS at sea. His suspiclon | was verified by a statement made to him | to the effect that Conway was seen in the vicinity of the transport dock on Mon- | day morning, and that the opinion pre- | vailed on the front that Conway was | smuggled aboard the transport Buford | | before she went into the stream. Con- | way was a politiclan, with many friends {on the front, who would go to any lengths to get him out of difficulty; so it is not improbable that he was as- | | sisted to a berth in the Buford or some | other vessel sailing for a forelgn port. District Attorney Byington is inclined | to the belief_that Conway is at sea. The " | fact that on. at noon he was! ned that y would not appear | at 2 o'clock is regarded by him | as proof that some one had knowledge | of Conway’s movements and plans. The | statement that Con was seen at | midnight on Monday is now believed by ]\nu detectives to have been made by a friend ¢ for the purpose of | ithru\\’ rs off- his track. Nev- | | | { ertheless the police have wired Portland, | Reno and Los Angeles to keep a lookout | for g cierk, and if he appears | points named his arrest is | to follow. | st sure | DRINK WEAKENS MIND i : OF MRS.

The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals yesterday reversed the decision of United States District Judge Noyes in the case of the United States against Haw- kins. Hawkins was convicted of robbery with Thomas Dolan and George Allen. The reversal is on the ground that Judge Ncyes {:ermltled a citizen to act as a juror who had expressed an opinion in the case. The conviction of Allen was set aside several months ago by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals because of blunders committed by Neyes during the trial. ———— Tow prices and good work in making cver furniture and mattresses.

WANTS COMPANY 10 BUILD BRIDGE Street Committee Calls on Santa Fe Road to Pay Cost. Captain A. H. Payson, vice president of the Santa Fe Railway Company, appeared yesterday before the Supervisors’ Street Committee and stated that he was not prepared to say what action would be taken regarding the proposition of the board that the company defray the entire cost of building a drawbridge across Channel street at the foot of Third. Chairman Curtis of the committee stated that the board believed, In view of the fact that the corporation had been grant- ed immense privileges in the Potrero dis- trict relative to grade changes and rights of way, it should pay for the bridge. Captain Payson said the bridge would cost $70,000, and, while he was impressed with the arguments, he would have to consult with the directors of the com- pany befere giving an answer. Payson said he would appear next Monday before the board and state would the company would do in the premises. % The committee reported against the petition of H. K. Hedges tér permission o construct overhead wires for telephone and messenger service. Joseph Scheerer was granted an exten- sion of ninety days to remove obstruc- tions from Channel street. | | | | | Sullivan Bros. were granted permission | to blast on a lot on the north side of Ellis street, between Hyde and Leaven- worth streets. The petitions of the Southern Pacific Company for a franchise to operate a “‘cut-off” line from Sunnyside avenue to Sixth street went over pending the report of the City Engineer on the proposed grade change: route and method of proper construction of the road. ; The applications of the United Railways and the California and Union street lines for street railway franchises were post- poned one week. Dennis Kearney sent a communication to the Board of Supervisors yesterday re- questing that body to invite the directors of the United Railways to explain an al- leged juggling of the figures on the cap! talization of the stock of the corporation. Kearney says the bonded indebtedness proposed by the company and to be acted upon by the stockholders will be $35,275,000 in 4 per cent twenty-five-year gold bonds. There is to be reserved for liens $14,951,000, less $4,725,000, to be discharged by opera- tion of sinking funds under existing mort- gage of $9.866,000; reserved for better- ments, $5,409.000: outstandine $20,000,000. MAY BUILD WATER TOWER ON LAFAYETTE SQUARE Supervisors’ Fire Committee Refers Petition of Spring Valley Com- pany to Park Commission. The Supervisors’ Fire Committee yester- day heard the petition of the Spring Val- ley Water Company for permission to crect a water tower on Lafayette Square to give a better water supply to Presidio and | Pacific Heights. Chief Engineer Schussier said that the company is will- ing to construct an ornamen:al steel tower in place of the old wooden tank now located on the square, provided the | permit be granted for a reasonable period. Park Commissioners Sullivan and Me- Donald held that the Park Commission alone had jurisdiction in the matter and opposed building anything on park prop- erty. McDonald said a site could be ob- tained one block away, but Schussler gaid there was no other available place as high as Lafayette Square. He offered to build the tower for the Park Commission and give water to the park. Sullivan ac- cepted this proposition, saying the com- mission would maintain the tower as a public monument. H. J. Crocker said the district needed more water and Fire Com- missioner Hecht sald it would certainly have a better pressure. S. W. Holliday rotested against the present tank and feld that the water company should fur- nish its own_site. The matter was then referred to the Park Commission for ac- tion.

B | | | | 1 BOLTERS WANT NEW CHARTER Suspended Carpenters Anxious to Rejoin Brotherhood. The first decided break in the ranks of the suspended carpenters’ unions for re- istatement in the brotherhood was taken last night by twenty members of union 423, when they signed a call for a meeting to be held to-morrow evening for the pur- pose of making formal application to the brotherhood for reinstatement. This was one of the unions which held cut against union 483 in its fight agamnst the Building Trades Couneil, and for cer- taln acts it was suspended by the united brotherhood. Since that time many of the men have lost considerable time in the boycott against the brotherhood anions and great atisfaction theceat was expressed. In w of recent devel- cpments the union members .concluded that their best interests would be sub- served by Lood and the action stated was remaining with the brother- deter- mined upon. It is likely that the union will be granted a new charter by the brotherhood. The Building Trades Council met last night in B'nai B'rith Hall with an unu- sually large attendance. The carpenters’ troubles were discussed at length and the reports received tended to show that the attitude of the council towards the brotherhood unions was indorsed by the master builders as well as the mill men, Affiliated unions reported their willing- ness to stand by the council in its fight to the bitter end, the propesition being 1hat the working card of the counecil alone should be recognized by union men and employers of union mechanics. Dur- ing the peace which will prevail till the end of the month both sides to the con- troversy are doing considerable prose- 1ytizing and the result will be watched by all interested with deep concern.
