THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, DILLARD FORGES | GHINESE PAPERS Reason for His VSudden Flight Is Now Made Public. Indicted by Federal Grand Jury and Reward Posted for His Arrest. ‘When William H. Dillard, negro clerk in the office of Internal Revenue Collector John C. Lynch in this city, fled from San | Francisco May 10 last he knew that offi- cers of the Government were about to un- earth his crime. His flight was a hurried one; so hurried, in fact, that he was obliged to borrow $25 from John C. Lynch. Of this he gave $8 to h's wife, and without even taking a change of clothing, disap- peared. It was not long after that that Collector Lynch and Special Revenue Agent Burt | M. Thomas went before the United States ' | Grand Jury and procured the indictment of the missing negro clerk on twenty- five charges of forging Chinese certificates of registration. The discovery of the crime was made through the highly 'commendable vigil- ance of the Chinese Inspectors at El Paso. Early in May a Chinaman was arrested ; at that place on suspicion of having been | smuggled over the Mexican border. He | presented a duplicate certificate” of resi- | dence purporting to have been issued by John C. Lynch, the date of registration | being set down as March 11, 1902, and numbered No. 142,714, the original date of | registration being 1894. man’'s manner or in the appearance of the | certificate aroused the suspicions of Col-| lector Charles Mehan at El Paso, and de- | taining the suspect he sent the certificate to Collector Lynch with A request that the book containing the original certificate on file in the Internal Revenue office should be sent to him for comparison. DILLARD GETS THE TIP. As Dillard had been intrusted with the | duty of handling the Chinege buslness“ the letter which arrived on May 10 last was given to him. He wrote a reply an- nouncing that the book’ of original certifi- cates had been mailed that day under a separate cover. Dillard showed the letter to Collector Lynch and signed it. | On the afternoon of the same day Dil- | lard asked the Colleetor for permission to be absent from the city a week and per- mission was given him. He went across gave his wife $8, and after telling | t he had been called away on offi- cial business for a few days, vanished. Several days later, and about the time sence, Collector Lynch received a letter receipt of the note dated May 10, but stat- ing that the book of certificates had not | been received. Lynch caused a search to be made in the vault where the registra- ber, are stored, but the book wanted could not be found. Then a visit was | made to the postoffice, and a '“tracer” was sent out for the missing volume, but without satisfactory result. As a last ex- pedient, a thorough search was made of all_the rooms connected with the office, and the much sought for volume was found concealed under a pile of station- ery in the storeroom. THE FORGERY DISCOVERED. Then the certificate from El Paso was compared with the original certificate in | fhe book and it was found that the EI Paso certificate was a_ forgery. The blanks were filled up in the usual way in | the handwriting-of Dillard, and Collector | Lynch’s nate had been cleverly forged.i At the top of the duplicate under the number was the genuine signature, “W. H. Dillard,” in carmine ink. Special Internal Revenue Agent Burt M. Thomas and the Collector at once pro- ceeded to investigate Dillard’s accounts. It had been his duty to recelve money | and to mail the stamps to the purchasers. It was found, however, that there were no complaints of non-receipt of stamf:.; and that Dillard’s financial accounts with the office were in good shape. An investi. | gation was next mage into the matter of duplicate Chinese ceftificates of residence, | the stubs and duplicates bein% compared with the originals on file. 'wenty-five were decided to be forgeries and seven- teen doubtful. Dillard’s indictment for forgery was procured, and a photograph of the fugitive and a descriptive circular were prepared by United States Marshal John H. Shine offering a reward of $100 for the arrest of the absconding negro. SOLD FOR FIFTY DOLLARS. The Government officers have received the Chinese $50 for each of the forged du- plicates issued by him. They say that Dillard used only the regular blanks in Collector Lynch says that Dillard did not have any blanks printed outside, for if he had they would have been detected as soon as they were shown. Several years ago, when Cashier Nor- ton and Internal Revenue Collector Wel- burn were in office, Dillard was acting in the capacity of messenger for Welburn, and when Welburn was placed on trial for embezzlement Dillard turned informer and appeared as the chief witness for the Government. On that occasion he admit- ted that he had forged Welburn's name to false or altered vouchers at Welburn’s | request, and that he had regularly gone | to the race track and bet money on the | races for Norton, Welburn and other offi- | cials in the office. For this testimony he was promoted to a clerkship, and his sal- ary was increased from $1000 per annum to $1200 per annum. He was believed to be a protege of United States Senator Bruce and owned a race horse which he named after the Senator. The special agents believe that Dillard had a Caucasian as well as a Chinese con. federate in the work of disposing of forged certificates. ADVERTTSEMENTS.

President David Starr Jordan of Stan- ford University, who has been exploring the South Seas for the last few months for specimens of fish from the coral reefs, has written a letter to The Call telling of the encouraging success which he has met with in his work for the interest of science. Professor Jordan expresses him- self as highly pleased with his labors and entertains hopes that some of his discov- eries will materially aid science. Professor Jordan went to the South Seas as a guest of the United States Gov- ernment to aid a survey party sent out by the Fish Commission to take up a course of exploration of the different species of fish which are found in the tropical waters. Professor Jordan states that he has_been very busy in his work and has had little time to send out the result of his labors. Professor Jordan writes from Apia, Samoa, where he has spent the greater part of his time since his departure for the southern clime. The greater part of his work has been done in the bay of Apia and here he has made some discov- eries which heretofore have been practi- cally unknown to science. Professor Jordan and his party. while working in the bay of Apia discovered 453 different specimens of fish. They em- brace all the different varieties which are to be found In the southern waters and will prove of immense value for scientific purposes. All the specimens were taken from the waters of the coral reef. This is the first time in history that the fish life of a coral reef has been thor- oughly explored and Dr. Jordan feels highly_elated over his success. r. Jordan will continue in his work for the benefit of sclence apd expects to make some more valuable dfscoveries before his labors are compieted. The waters about the island of Tutuila will be the next to recelve the attention of Professor Jordan and his party and they expect to make some remarkable discoveries before their researches are completed. Dr. Jordan romises to communicate again with The all just as soon as he has finished his work ™ of examining the promising speci- mens. VIGOROUS KENITUCKIANS ADMINISTER THE LASH Three Men Are Called From Their Homes, Tied to Trees and ‘Whipped. HARRODSBURG, Ky., Aug. S.—Thirty mounted men, masked and heavily armed, rede into Perryville, ten miles from this city, last night and calling William Good- night, George Russell and Wallace Bot- tom from their homes, tied them to trees and administered the lash vigorously. They were ordered to go to work or leave the town. Goodnight says he recognized several of the party, and arrests may fol- low. Some time ago mnotes purporting te be from whitecaps were left at the doors of several citizens, but they were treated ul a joke. 2 STEADY DEGLINE OF GAGE STOCK State Employes Neglect Their Work to Do Politics. Superior Worth of the Pri- mary League Tickets Is Recognized. Men who are carried on the public pay- roll in the several departments of the | State governmeng, and particularly the | State employes on the water front of San | Francisco, are neglecting their duties in a shameful fashion. They are giving all their time to machine politics. There is | © lénger a pretense of reporting for ily duty. The public business is ne- glected and the money of the. taxpayers squandered to boost the falling political tortune of Governor Gage. The farmers and others of the indus- trial classes are entitled to know the facts concerning the open and disgrace- ful neglect of public duty upon the part of the State’s attaches. Never before in tne history of California has there been such brazen disregard of the rights of the taxpayers as that which is now shown by | the depraved push of the Gage machine. ' B The notion that the taxpayers who are assessed to pay the salaries should b_e’ considered is simply treated with der: sion. The common talk of the gang i “To blank with the people who taxes. We got our jobs from Gage, and wt]el look to Gage to keep us on the pay roll.” The Republican Primary League is pre- paring an accurate list of the wharfing- ers, collectors and deputies of the State government who are absenting themselves from their respective stations of duty, and the list will surely come handy for future reference. JolmHoesch, Deputy Secretary of State, writes that he is properly registered at | 2193 Mission street, San Francisco, and that he never has voted in Sacramento. He adds also that others connected with the office whose names were published in The Call have hitherto voted in_San Francisco ‘and not in Sacramento. It af- | fords The Call pleasure to give publicity to this explanauon. THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. The Gage managers are doing every- thing in their power to get another dele- gation from the country in order to get above the hoodoo thirteen from Kern #nd | Kings. Four weeks ago Kern with eight votes and Kings with five went into the Gage camp, making the unlucky thirteen, since when the machine has not been able to get another delegate. Madera, Marin, Mendocino, Merced, Monterey, Napa, San Benito, Shasta, Ven- tura, Tehama, Tulare, Siskiyou, San Bernardino and Sierra have been heard from, but no Gage reinforcements have been recorded. Something was hoped for in Riverside and Orange, but nothing definite has been ascertained. In the south, Judge McKin- ley is making stump speeches for the push and calling Gage a martyr. This is the same Judge McKinley that came to San Francisco last summer at the behest of Governor Gage to ‘‘do up” the Primary League in the Republican State Central Committee. Before arguments of the con- tending local factions were presented to the State Committee Gage’s man McKin- ley decided the case against the Republi- can Primary League. He decided that the Kelly-Crimmins bunch was the legally constituted governini‘ body of the Repub- lican.party in San Francisco. Later on the citizens of this city reversed his de- cision by defeating the ‘“‘governing body” at_the municipal election. Gage has arrogantly intruded himself in the local affairs of San Francisco to injure the Republican Primary League, simply because the league declared unre- lenting opposition to boss rule. The citi- zens and taxpayers of San Francisco who entertain the belief that they have a right to manage their own affairs will take oc- casfon next Tuesday to resent Gage's im- pudent intrusion. CAMP OF ALLIED BOSSES. The bosses in San Francisco have entered into a general alllance against the Primary League, but in the camp of the allied push there are bitter feuds and Jealousies. Secretly Jere Burke and John Lynch are scheming to exclude Boss Kelly from any sort of control of the legislative bunch. Kelly put in a good deal of hard work to get the alllance in form as a political machine and many of his followers who joined hands in the work declare that Kelly has been “flim- flammed’’ by Herrin, Crimmins, Lynch and Burke. It was the general comment in the city yesterday that the delegates nominated by the Primary League were citizens of sterling worth and known good character. The league tickets will get considerable support by reason of their obvious superiority. The Gage organs here were compelled by the force of events to make further revision. At first all of San Francisco was claimed for Gage, but yesterday the claim was reduced to 140. The true in- dications are that the Gage strength from this city will be somewhere between fifty and eighty, and it will not be trans- ferrable. The opinion is entertained by many well-informed public men that Gage's candidacy will not be prolonged if he encounters a reverse in Los Angeles. DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES. The Republican Primary League Club of the Thirty-second District will hold a grand rally at Maennerbund Hall, corner Twenty-fourth street and Potrero avenue, this evening. D. W. Burchard and A. Ruef will address the meeting.

Attorney Hugo K. Asher of the City and County Attorney's office appeared before | Judge Cabaniss yesterday on the charge of dissuading and preventing Hazel Kelly, |a material witness, from testifying against Frederick Rodriguez, charged | with assaulting the girl. Asher was rep- | resented by Attorney John J. Barrett, | who said that Attorney Peter F. Dunne, counsel for the defendant, was engaged in another court and asked for a continuance till to-morrow. The Judge granted the continuance. Mrs. Margaret Newman, who is jointly charged with Asher, was arrested in the Hall of Justice by Detective Balley and | booked at the City Prison. She was re- | leased on W:’:‘-!h bail and will appear in court this morning. In Judge Mogan’'s court Rodriguez was held to answer before the Superior Court | in 33000 bonds. Attorney Barrett made a | streng plea to have the bonds reduced. but the Judge refused. The little girl was ordered into the custody of Secretary White of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, to be | laced in some institution until after the | trial of Rodriguez's case in the Superior Court, then to be sent to some convent school. Mrs. Peck, the girl's mother, will appear for sentence this morning on the | charge of enticing Hazel away from the city. getectlve Bailey has been making a dili~ gent search for Sinon Rodriguez, who is | accused of having given Mrs. Peck $50 to | induce her to leave the city with her Idaughter, but has so far failed to flnd him. | @ il @ | bly District met last evening and nom- inated the following Jeffersonian war aorses as delegates to the State conven- on: Early Craig, 2517 Washington street; Frank P.

BOY THIEVES BOAST OF THEIR EXPLOITS Admit They Have Been Stealing From Houses for Some Months Past. Albert Pfeiler, 12 years of age, and Ben- nie Railton, 16, are, according to their own confession, two of the worst thieves that ever have come under the notice of the police. They were arrested by Policeman Gaughran on suspicion of being implicated !in destroying and carrying away all the brass and lead pipe in a vacant house at 208 Clara street. Two older boys, Michael Roche and John McGann, had been ar- rested on a charge of burglary for break- ing into the house and when the case was called before Judge Conlan yesterday Pfeiler and Railton confessed that they alone did the job and sold the brass and | lead pipe to a ragman for a few cents.
