14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1902. LEVINGS GIVES Hl3 TESTIMONY Police Officer Asserts Job Was Put Up on Him. Appeals to Commissioners on Previous Good Record. LeRoy L. Levings, the police officer ac- cused of soliciting a bribe from Mrs. Eliz- abeth 8. Darling, presented his case yes- terday afternoon before Police Commis- sioners Newhall, Mahoney, Hutton and Howell. Mr. Levings made a preliminary state- ment to the effect that the Chief of Po- lice did not order him to go to Mrs. Dar- ling’s house to make the inguiries on the evening of May §. He then told of how, on May 6, he had begn detailed to arrest a man who had stolen some cigars from Messrs. Gunst & Co., on the northwest corner of Eddy-and Laerkin streets: how he had arrested -J. E. Crothers, alias McWilliams, and takeén him to the Hall of Justice and had his name enterea on the detinue book. Levings stated that on Saturday, May 3, be was empioyed during-the whole day in making out and serving warrants on six druggists for selling opium. He said he bad discovered that Crothers had been in trouble before and on Saturday night had informed the Chief of Police that he had Crothers’ room located. On Monday Levings stated that he saw T. L. Fitzpatrick, the warrant and boad clerk, and asked him what charge should be placed against Crothers, whether it should be obtaining goods by false: pre- tenses or grand larceny. Later Levings had an audience with the Chief of Police and asked him the same question and re- geived the reply that it should be graud reeny. - WAITS FOBR FITZ JAMES. Levings then carried his case up to Monday evening, May 5, when he went to the bowling alley at 5 Ellis street to wait for the man, Fitz James, who was sup- posed to have been with Crothers in gain- ing possession of the cigars. Levings as- serted that he remained outside for hailf @n hour and then went inside and bowled until 10:30 o'clock. On Tuesday morning, Levings went on he received a note to call up East on doing so discovered that Mrs. ing was at the other end of the line hed him to come up at once in re- he Crothers case, and as it was ampossible to go to her house at that time aid he would try and see her that| ng.

The Civil Service Commissioners held their regular weekly meeting yesterday. Many routine matters were disposed of. The case of Deputy Tax Collector George McCalvey, accused of haying given one of his creditors & bogus order drawn on the commission for 3100, was postponed for gne week for the reason that McCalvey has been out of town and has not had an opportunity to prepare his aerense. | tion. DISMISSES CASE AGAINST LYONS Judge Cabaniss Holds There Was Lack of Criminal Intent. Court Says It Has Little if Any Sympathy for the Young Man, : The charge against Robert E. Lyons, who was charged in conjunction with Frederick B. Conway with grand lar- ceny by trick and device in withdrawing from the. city treasury $230 bail money deposited in the name of J. M. Evans for the release of Jessie Holland, was dis- missed by Judge Cabaniss yesterday. Lyons testified in his own behalf that Conway on March 22 called upon him at the County Clerk’s office and asked him to cash the order at the treasury as.a matter of convenience to a friend. Lyons, on observing that the order was made payabie to him, asked Conway for an ex- planation, and Conway replied that as Lyons was known to Cashier Perkins the money would be promptly paid, but if Ccnway presented the order with his own name Perkins would think he was “‘graft- ing.” In the full confidence that the or- der was genuine and the transaction reg- ular Lyons presented the order, received the 3250 and paid it over to Conway in iront of Judge Graham's court. The in- cicgent passea out of his mind till Evans called upon him on May 27 and asked him why he had withdrawn the bail money. In cross-examination Lyons said he had never spoken to Conway about the mat- ter till the night of May 27, when he met him in a saloon at Halght and Fillmore streets with County Clerk Mahony and others. At that time Conway showed a Teceipt without- date from-Evans for the $2i0 and remarked that it made him all right. Lyons asked Conway why the re- ceipt had been made out in his name, and Conway did not reply. He had known Conway for five or six years and had every. confidence in him. The Judge, in dismissing the case, re- viewed the testimony and ‘sald that in view of the testimony of Mr. Perkins that it was customary for some of the Judges to make their treasury orders payable 10 persons other than the persons deposit- ing the money there was nothing in the mere circumstance of Lyons' name being mentioned as the payee in the order calcu- lated to even arouse Lyons’ suspiclon that the transaction was irregular, much less criminal. The Judge added that he had little, if any, sympathy for Lyons in his present dilemma, as he had admittedly suffered his complaisant disposition and desire to accommodate Conway to impli- cate him in an embarrassing” way in a seemingly -crooked transaction. Whether grand layceny was the proper charge against Conway and Lyons was a mat- ter, in his' judgment, worthy of serious consideration, but he was not prepared at that time to pass definitely upon it. d(‘onwa)"s case was continued till Fri” ay. DETECTIVES INSTRUCTED TO BRING IN CROOKS They Will Be Kept in Prison Till the Departure of the Mystic Shriners. In view of the influx of the Mystic Shriners, Ceptain Martin- issued instruc- tions to the detectives yesterday morn- ing to bring in all known' pickpockets, bunko men and other crooks, so that they might be kept in durance vile till the Shriners took their departure. It was not long before Detectives Crock- ett and Riordan brought in Charles Gagus and Frank Wilson, well known bunko men, and locked them up in the tanks. Later Harry Walters and “Dick” Wilson were brought in. As it was expected that several Eastern crooks would take a trip to this city to try their luck with the Shriners, Captain Martin put his men to watching all the incoming trains. So far nane of the crook fraternity from the East has been dis- covered, but the watch will be kept up till all the trains with the Shriners arrive. —_——— A Grand Opportunity.

SNWOOD: 7 Market Street “TRELAWNY OF THE WELLS” OPENS - MILLER SEASON AT THE COLUMBIA Company One of Strongest Ever Here and Promises Brilliant Suc- cess-—-Florence Roberts Draws Great Throng to Alcazar---*‘The Jilt”” Finely Given at the California--—-‘‘Toymaker’> Prospers Mamceau RELAWNY OF THE WELLS” did as well and much better than most comedies to introduce the Henry Miller and Margaret An- glin season at the Columbla Thea- ter last night. Not that it mattered par- ticularly what among the always good things that Mr. Miller- offers was cuosen. Every one was there, and would have been whatever the play, to welcome these high favorites of the local stage, Pecu- liarly our own are Mr. Miller ‘and Miss Anglin, and they bring with them a com- pany that has not been. equaled in ac- complishment since—it is hard to say when. Stars were simply dotted all over the cast of ‘“Trelawny,” with players of fame fat enough to stock a half-dozen of the ordinary 'actor taking care of “‘Me lud, the carriage waits,”’ and the like. Mr. Miller, in small type some:half-way down the programme, has a-censpicuous- ly and characteristically modest role. as a frayed but happy actor. Margaret Anglin has more to do, indeed a part that fits and delights as Rose Trelawny—*‘Trelawny of the Wells"—yet not a part that demands more than a tithe of her power. There is no star role in the play, but an altogether comfortable balance of the many bright parts, and a finish and style to the performance of each that promise everything - desirable for the coming season. Unchecked enthu- slasm reigned during the evening, each familiar face—Mr. Miller, Miss Anglin, Charles Walcot, Mrs. Whiffen, Lillian Thurgate, Ethel Hornlck, pretty Grace Elliston, as a housemaid, with a smudge on her face, Willlam Courtleigh and many others—recelving a personal greeting. ““Trelawny of the Wells” bids fair to become a favorite among comedies here to judge by its reception last night. Per- haps Pinero has done better things, but the play s bright, amusing and an ex- cellent evening’s entertaigment. . The dramatis personae are mostly act- ors, of the early sixties, before the strut and tear of the hair had gone the way of all things mortal. Its hero is supposed to be the late Tom Robertson, who intro- duced the art of being natural among the ranting Thespians, in the play Tom Wrench, done by Mr. Miller. The “Wells' is Sadler’s Wells, a playhouse of ancient fame in London, and “Trelawny”. is Miss Rose Trelawny, sometime ledding lady of the same. The first act introduces Tre- lawny bidding farewell to her former as- sociates, and on her way to the ancestral home of her aristocrat lover where she is to be taken.for a month ‘‘on approval” by his distinguished but dull relatives. Very amusingly has Mr. Pinero pictured the goodnatured players, their little jeal- ousies, loudness, grandiloquence, the ex- igencies of the hoop skirt also contribut- ing not a little to.the fun of the scene. he next act opens in Cavendish Square. 8ir Willlam Gower (done to compiete con- viction by Mr. Walcot) the _tyrannical grandparent of Trelawny's lover, and his formidable sister, are napping under protecting newspapers, with the lovers and two other subdued inhabitants hold- ing their breath In"fear of arousing the sleepers. Bad _as things are in this “dreadful after’ dinner Hour,” they -are worse when Rose, roused to audibility by some lines she recites, wakens the gor- %‘ms' And from bad it goes on to worse. he climax is. reached when Miss Tre- lawny, in a fit of desperate deflance, caused by.belng told not to play the plano when Sir Willlam is at his rubber, not to sit on the figor, not to sneeze, in- vites some of her former friends to the house after the too respectable household has retired and is discovered in the midst of what might be called now a “high old time.” Of course it comes right in: the end, with some -ingenious complications by the way. Miss Anglin, though sufferin, cold, was all her charming ulf as Rose Trelawny, with the grace of high com- edy that none better than she knows how to give. Mr. Miller is much in the back- ground as Tom Wrench, but has stamped his small opportunity with all the peculiar strength that is his. Mr. Walcot is ex- cellent as Sir Willlam Gower, and Wii- liam Courtleigh, Fred Thorne and Arthur from a Elliot give a brilllant little galery of actor portraits. Lawrence d'Orsay and Charles Gotthold are also valuable in their places. Lilllan Thurfinte has a de- lightful sketch of Avonia Bunn, and Mrs. Walcot, Mrs. Whiffen and Miss Hornick are respectively all .their parts allow. It ‘'was a brilliant performance, and one can sit back comfortably and wait with cer- taln pleasure for the coming bills of what promises to be a most notable season. Alcazar. There have been other Zazas, but the Zaza of Miss Florence Roberts is refreshi- ingly, unlike them all. The play might have been written specially for her, and had she been the first to play it, last night's applause would echo in the halls of fame for many a day to come. But not being the first, the critics will com- pare her with the first and the rest that have come after, and the comparison will by no means be to the advantage of Miss Roberts. It-is one of her best imperson- ations, a splendid role for the display of her highest art ana one in which she blends “her spontaneous humor and pa- thos as only a true actress can. The au- dience had expected it, for as the cur- tain rose there were volley of hand- clappings for each member of the excel- lent’ company as_they .appeared upon the stage, and when Zaza appeared and White Whittlesey, the Bernard Dufresne of the cast, there was.a storm of welcome, and at the' ctose ‘of the first act the curtain was_ lifted again ana again’in response t2 the’ vociferous demand. At the end of the secona act George Osbourne was kept. busy piling up the floral gifts that came oyer the footlights and Miss Rob- erts was not allowed to retire until she had made a little speech, telling the peo- ple_ how happy their kind welcome had made her. There was more of it at the end of the next act and the next, and the next, which was not over until after midnight. Zaza may be added to Miss Roberts’ laurels as one of the many tri- umphs_of “her stage career. She is ex- cellently ' supported by White Whittlesey and ‘the company. The play is scened with more than ordinary care and the costumes. are magnificent. The :Alcazar was packed to the doors to witriess the performance and it will be packed, every night during Miss Roberts’ seasor. Grand Opera-House. Miss Maude Fealy, the young star, com- menced. her third week's engagement at the Grand Opera-house last night by pre- senting ‘Jerome K. Jerome's comedy, ““Miss Hobbs,” supported by the stock company. “ It dragged considerably, but the fault did not so much lie with the players: as with the play itself. It is crudely constructed and if there is a plot it 18 so’simple that it is lost sight of in an- endeavor- to find-out what it is all about. There is something of an attempt on the part of-a young man who has spent some years in the Himalayas to teach Miss Hobbs, a man-hater, the ad- vantage of abandoning the absurd position she has chosen by telling her some plat- itudes about women while she is trying to cook a.meal for.him on board his yacht and the play winds up with him success- ful. - Miss Fealy. struggled bravely to give the ‘character of Miss Hobbs some of the life which-the author had omitted .in its delineation and she was successful in in- tensifying the favorable impression she created on her first appearance two weeks ago. Herschel Mayall waf effective and convincing ‘as Wolff Kingsearl, the young man from the Himalayas. These are the only' prominent parts in the piece, the others being of little account. California. g The Neill companv pleasantly ‘enter- tained at the California last night with an excellent presentation of “The Jilt.” The comedy contains many features which seem to have been lifted bodily from other plays with which San Fran- cisco. audiences are more familiar, but in- terest nevertheless is not allowed to and the unfolding of the plot is watched with closest care. The horse race in the fourth act, as seen in_the-enthusiastic language and actions of the members of th> company, is so much better than that sort of thing usually is and withal so ex- citing that the audience was almost on its feet in applause last night. Marlan Stone in_the title role is irreproachable. Edythe Chapman, who has become such a favorite, loses none of her charm as the sweetheart of Neill, who is the hes glme play. Donald Bowles and Scoft iton in humorous roles succeed in pro. v a great deal of laughter. gu - ford Dempsey is a villain of the thor- e g HENRY MILILER CLEVER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW APPEARING AT LOCAL THEATERS. - i ough-bred, melodramatic type. perhaps a trifle too much emphasized. The others of the cast do not fail to adequately sup- port the leaders. Tivoli. There was a big audience at the Tivoll. “The Toy Maker” still holds sway and the patrons of the popular opera-house are duly appreeiative of the treat. Hart- man is in his glory as the manufacturer of toys. His German accent is delicious- ly droll and his witticisms create great iaughter. He is ably assisted by Harry Cashman. Annfe Myers does some very clever acting as the doll and sings as sweetly as ever. The chorus is in ha mony and under .the leadership of Pro- fessor Steindorff renders selections with perfection. The second act is a gem in its- way. Hartman makes a bunch of clever children dance amd sing and imi- tate dolls. The climax of the act is a pretty one. A curtain rises in back, dis- closing gaily attired children mounted on buge drums and other toys dear to the hearts of the little ones. The opera is a tuneful one and bids fair to run many nights. . Central. The bill for Shriners’ week at the Cen- tral Theater 18 one of the most attractive ever offered by that popular playhouse. “A Guilty Mother” is a melodrama that contains thrilling situations, pathos and clever comedy. The strongest cast yet to appear. at the playhouse presents the piece. Fanny' Mclntyre, Annette Marshall and Margaret Wycherly, three leading ladies of ability, appear to good advantage. They have congenial roles and make tho most of them. Georgie Cooper, Mabel Bowman and Agnes Rankin also do clever ‘Worlk. - Messrs. Brown, McVicker, Emory, Howell, Ross and Nicholls make the most of their parts. "The play is handsomely mounted and’ retains the interest of the audlence'from start to finish. Fischer’s. Although in its tenth week the clever burlesque, ‘“Fiddle Dee Dee,” is drawing as heavily, at Fischer's as in the opening week. Some have seéen this show three and four times and never seem to tire of the fun-makers, Barney Bernard, Kolb, Dill and others. In honor of the Mystic Shriners the comedians sprung some new jokes that tickled the visitors hugely. To-morrow afternoon a special perform- ance will be given b:- the Pollard Juve- nilo Opera Company, which leaves the following day on the steamship Sferra for a tour of Australia. Chutes.

The great medicine has made thousands well. It has conquered weakness and {ll health when everything else has failed. This is the time when nervous debility and nervous prostration begin to manifest themselves. The coming hot weather will only add fuel to the fire of suffering and disease. If there is mental depression, loss of energy, lack of vivacity, dullness of the eyes, blanched cheeks and lips, confusion in the head, defective memory, love of | solitude—all these are direct indications of coming nervous collapse, and ecall for the immedjate use of that nerve feeder, strength giver, and blood enricher, Paine’s Celery Compound.
