Jer- (he omice nor his home. When finally, ome, the well-known Custom- house official, appears to reveal even a blacker story than was given publicit in the papers yesterday morning. In- vestigation into Whitney's habits di closes the fact, so the investigato allege, that the man who is accused of violating a deathbed injunction lost all the money of the Jerome estate over the gambling table and at the racetrack and left a defenseless, shrinking slip of a girl without a penny in the world—dissipated, 0 they declare, $4000 that was all she had for the support of herself and the rearing of her minor brother. The girl, Miss Ethel Jerome, lies ill and prostrated at her Oakland home, shocked at her helplessness and dreading to face a lower- ing future. That Whitney spent the $4000 he is ac- cused of depriving Miss Jerome of on the racetrack and upon games of chance, ncne of his former friends doubts. Phese former friends have seen him make the money fly in all sorts of shaky ventures and they know that the bookmakers and the “tiger” have absorbed most of the coin. ‘Whitney was not at all conspicuous on GOOK DECLARES HE 15 IMPARTIAL Superior Judge Makes a Statement in Board of Health Case. Judge Carroll Cook yesterday declared himself regarding the quo warranto pro- ceedings brought = at the instance of Mayor Schmitz to oust the old Board of Health in favor of a new one .appointed by the newly elected Mayor. When the case was first assigned, At- torneys McNab and McEnerney made a strong plea to have it sent to some other department, but Judge Cook refused to accede to their wishes. Yesterday the same plea was made and in_response the Judge made the following 'statement in regard to the case: In this case there has been considerable dis- cussion outside of court and some in the cham- bers of the court, as to the trial of the caus As I stated in chambers when the case was first assigned to this department, it was as- signed with the idea that I would transfer it to some other department for trial. When the time came to make that transfer I called upon the attorneys on both sides to consent to some Judge who would be agreeable to all parties in the case, and 1 was unable to secure an agree: ment between them. 1 therupon called a meet- ing of all of the Judges of the court, and two of them volunteered to sit with me in the trial of the case. Since that time and before the late in the afternoon, he was induced by & ruse to come to the telephone, he made a half-hearted denfal of the whole trans- action. WHITNEY’S BRIEF STATEMENT. “This is purely a matter between me and Miss Jerome,’ he said, ‘“and the business of no one else. I can straighten this thing out to the satisfaction of Miss Jercme. Jt does not concern the news- papers nor the public what occurs.” From Miss Jerome and her friends, hewever, come a different story. To her end Miss Katherine Whitten, her cousin, Whitney admitted, so they say, that he had practiced a deception uponthe child and that if they revealed its true in- wardness to the public he would be pros- ecuted and ruined. “The story of Whitney’s perfidity as it appeared in the paper this morning. is correct in every detail,” sald Miss Whit- ten, who is administering to her stricken cousin at the old family home that will soon no longer be Miss Jerome’s shelter. “We discovered the worthlessness of the note three weeks ago, but Miss Jerome is a retiring girl and did not want to bear the unpleasant notoriéty that would fol- low should the matter be made public. ow, Mr. Whitney has admitted to us case was called again I received a letter from Judge Murasky stating, that he had concluded not to sit in the case, and thereupon Judge Troutt said that as Judge Murasky declined to sit he did not think it would be proper to have but two Judges as they might not be able to agree, therefore he asked to.be excused and 1 grantéd his request and set the case down for to-day. It is a very unpleasant duty for a court to Proceed to the trial of a case where either party signifies an objection to the Judge, but as the parties will not consent to the trial of this case before any other Judge of this court, and cannot agree on any Judge, and as I know of no reason in the world to'prevent a per- fectly fair and impartial trial in this depart- ment, I can see no way, disagreeable as it is, but to proceed to hear the case myself. I can | simply say to counsel on both sides, that I | have no opinfon or leaning one way or the | other. It is entirely a blank to me. So far as | the case is concerned I have not the slightest l1dea which way I may be compelled to de- cide it, but If tried before me it shall certainly be decided as I understand the law, regardless of consequences or who the parties may be or who may be Interested. Whatever —dec may be rendered will be one which I shall be consclentiously satisfled to be the law. As I understand it it is purely a question of law to be passed upon. If it was a question of fact in which I had some Interest I might see some reason for transferring the cause. The only reason suggested is one that I have Seen through the press during my ahsence in the country, and that is. that within a few months I may. be a candidate. for re-election. If on account of such suggestion as that I should transfer the case out of my depart- i ment I would consider that I was confessing myself unfit to sit upon the bench to try any case and feel that I ought to resign my posi- tion. ‘I shall, therefore, not transfer the case, unless the parties between now and next Sat- urday agree upon another department of the court, and will set the case peremptorily for hearing on that day. At the request of both sides the case was continued until next Saturday. Swim at the Crystal Baths, Bay street, near Powell. Water always clean, warm.

He said | he knew little about Whitney's habits, | having never been Intimate with him. 1 ‘It was a dastardly thing to do,”he said, “if all_the things that are being said | about Whitney are true.

Whitney is alleged | to have piled up the expenses of the | estate, however, so that soon.there was little left to return to the girl. ‘What_the District Attorney’s office in- tends to do is not to be given out until Attorney Plerson asks that action be taken against Whitney criminally. THIEF SNATGHES DIAMOND BROOCH Mrs. George Siler Loses Jewel While Leaving the Alcazar. Mrs. George . Siler, wife of the well- known sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune and world famous referee, while leaving the Alcazar Theater lasty night in company with her husband after the play, was robbed of a magnificent twelve- point diamond brooch. The theft is con- sidered by the police as one of the most daring as well as one of the cleverest | that has been committed in this city for many months. Mrs. Sller was wearing the jewel in the front of her dress and while walking out with the crowd from theitheater she felt some one reach over her shoulder and give her a sudden pull. She looked down and found that the brooch was missing. She immediately told her husband of her loss. He looked around and, seeing a mdn hurrying away through the crowd, made a run for him. The man, however, mingled with the people who were pour- |x;gh?ut of the Alcazar and Siler lost track of him. Mr. Siler and his wife reported the loss of the brooch at once to Police Officer John David. He kept close watch of all those walking in the vicinity of the Al- i labor union in the city | of en | as represented by him. GOMPERS TALKS 0 SAILOR MEN Unionism, He Says, Has Material y Bettered Their Lot. Reception to Visiting Labor Leaders at Grand Is Well Attended. President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor addressed a large crowd at the meeting of the Coast last night. The dis- tinguished labor leader was introduced by Walter Macarthur, editor of the Coast Seamen’s Journal, and his reception was | in the nature of an ovation. Gompers spoke of his former visit to this city on March 6, 1891, when the first representatives of organized labor to extend him the hand of welcome were members of the Seamen's Union. He was dragged away to a lumber pile on the front and there delivered his first address in San Francisco before an audience of sailors. Resuming he sald: 1 rejoice to see the great strides your organ- ization has made since that time. You have in- RED MEN GREET A GREAT CHIE? Reception Tendered to V siting Head of the Order. After a Welcome by Mayor Great Incchonee Wiley Talks to Membears. e Great Incohonee Wiley of the Improved Order of Red Men, the head of the order in the United States, was' tendered a re- ception last ht in Hall. He was escorted to the. stage Greut | | i | | i creased in numbers and your sphere of useful- | ness has been considerably enlarged. True unionism means progress and enlightenment. It means the social advancement of the w ing- men and the betterment of their conditions. Unionism has done more for the American la- borer In the past twenty years: than anythihg T know of. It is to the solidarity of our prin- ciples, the earnestness of our, purpose as union men that this advancement has been largely due. ‘With regard to the lot of the American sail- or, 1 have to say that the enactments of recent years in their behalf have been prolific of great Bood. While these laws have not accomplished all that might be expected, they have at least lightened the burdens that have weighed upon the shoulders of the American sailor with dead- These laws have done much to free the sailor from the absolute thralldom under %vhich he lived for many decades, FREEDOM OF SAILOR. The day will come when, through the aid per- haps of your organization, the freedom of the sailor to quit his work when it suits him to do so without prejudice will be secured. (Cheers.) Ship-owners and masters are graduaily coming to a realization that the sailors in their em- ploy have hearts and Souls and minds of their own the same as a jeweler, carpenter or stone mason. Unionism will bring about more re- forms calculated to better the sailor's lot, and it is the duty of every union man to do what he can to secure that end. The members of the union gave Gomp- ers a reception after his address, and after shaking hands with those present the labor leader was escortcd to the Grand Hotel, where a reception was ten- dered him by the labor leadors of the city. Mayor Schmitz was among those who assisted in the reception. Every Wwas represented. The reception was marked by a display husiasm. At 11'o’clock some 130 musicians, und the leadership of Al- fred Roncovieri, appeared in New Mont- gomery street and began a serenade, which attracted an immense crowd. There were calls for Gompers, who ap- peared at a second-story window of the hotel and bowed. The crowd demanded a speech, and Gompers said he realized that the demonstration was not in sense a personal one so far as he was concerned, but a popular indorsement of | the labor movement of the United States Heg assured his hearers that he would do all in his power to assist the wage-earners of the land in their battle for industrial freedom, and | in_their struggle for the rights and privi- leges which all men shonld enjoy in com- mon, be they rich or poor. The labor leader was loudly cheered at tha close of his remarks. SPEECH BY THE MAYOR. There being calls for Mayor Schmitz, the executive responded very briefly. He said he was glad to see the demonstra- tion because it showed that the cause of labor had its friends in this city. He re- jolced that the representative ef the great body of American laborers was being re- ceived with open arms wherever he went and particularly in San Franclsco, where the cause has so many adherents. FHo expressed the bellef that the visit of Gompers to the Paeific Coast would do much to strengthen the union cause in this section of the country, and closed with the statement that he was a repre- sentative of whom every American work- ingman could justly feel proud. James O'Connor, president of the Inter- national ociation of Machinisis, also made a brief address, which brought the reception to an end. A mass-meeting will | be held at the Alhambra TIheater to- night, at wich addresses will be deliv- ered by Gompers, O'Connor, Morris and others. The public is invited to attend. Mogan Is Hard on Burglars. Joseph Williams, who is accused of en- tering the premises of Leo W. Goldstone at 142 Central avenue, was up before Judge Mogan yesterday. He was given three months in the County Jail on the charge of having burglars’ tools in_ his possession and was bound over in $3000 bonds on the charge of burglary. The Judge stated that he had less considera- tion for a burglar than he had for a hold- | up man, because he thought a man should | feel secure In his own house, while he | was supposed to take some chances on the highway. Willlams was found coming out of Goldstone's house and some plunder | was found on him by the arresting officer, Policeman Williams. ———————— In the Divorce Court. Julianna Rutledge, who was married to William Rutledge in March, 1885, filed a suit for maintenance against her hus- band yesterday, alleging that for the last vear he has failed to provide for her. She asks the court to award her $60 a month, alleging that Rutledge is in the receipt of an income of $100 a month from mining property: and realty in Alameda County. A divorce was granted yester- day.by Judge Murasky to Rebecca Eden from Albert Eden for cruelty. Suits for divorce were filed by J. H. Mertens against Sophie M. Mertens for desertion, and Laura Juchemsich against J. M. Juchemsich for cruelty. e John Schorr Gets $600. In the case of John Schorr vs. Wells, Fargo & Co., to recover $21,000 damages for injuries received by a consignment of Eastern race horses in a railway collision in Oakland a year ago, United States Dis- trict Judge Beatty yesterday gave judg- ment for $600 damages. This sum was the valuatior placed upon the horses by the shipper at the time they were shipped from the East. gued that the horses had increased they arrived in Oakland, but Judge Beat- ty held that the company was not re- sponsible in damages for more than the valuation giv e Stockholders File Contest. Olive E. and L. M. Sherwood, on be- half of themselves and other stockhold- ers of the Golden Key Mining Company filed a contest yesterday of the election, of the directors of the company held at the Mills building on the 1st of June. They allege that the election was illegal because of the refusal of F. A. Wallin, who they claim arbitrarily called to order the meeting at which the election was held, to recognize their objections to the votes cast by several of the stockholders. Judge Murasky assigned the case to Judge Sloss, who will hear it August 5. L 2 e e e ) cazar, but saw nothing of the thief. From the dexterity with which the thief se- cured the jewel from its place in Mrs. Siler’s dress, the police believe that he is an expert in this line of work. As Siler merely caught a glimpse of the man while he was rushing away, he could give no description that would aid the police in bis detection. Mrs. Siler was deeply grieved over the loss of the precious or- rament. Notice to Passengers. Round trip transfer tickets now on sale :rll N of o&r oiflcg.
