ORENZO HENRY, formerly a member of the Assembly and for | several months past a collector { for the State Harbor Commission, ‘ is missing. With his disappear- | ance the absence of some of the funds of | the State is also noticed. Just how much | Henry is short in his accounts is not known, although it is claimed the actual amount in cash is not large. It is understood that while the money | belonging to the State was comparatively small, Henry had in his possession many | checks, aggregating quite a sum. These checks, however, are not negotiable, and, as such, are worthless to him. For more than two weeks the officials | of the commission have been keeping a lookout for the missing collector. During the closing week of the Sacramento fair the .commission received several checks from Sacramento made out to its credit | and presumably collected by Henry. It is said, also. that Henry was seen at the + “\\k i LOVE FORWOMAN | WAR TO DEATH CAUSES ARREST How Alfred Pler Fell Into Hands of the Police. Romantic Story of Alleged Swindler’s Flight and Capture, - The arrest of Alfred Pler, who was ap- prehended Monday in New York on a warrant sworn to by Mrs. Annie Mantke of this city, charging him with obtaining moncy under false pretenses, brings to light another story of a woman too ready to trust. Several months ago Pler vic- timized Mrs. Mantke, who conducts the Seattle restaurant on Mission street, just below Third, out of the sum of $180. Pler made insincere love to Mrs. Mantke, who is a widow, and succeeded in parting her from her hard-earned money by pretend- | ing that he had been promoted to a re- sponsible railroad position and. that he needed the money to deposit as a bond. At the time Pler was a timekeeper at the Valencia-street power-house. He pro- duced a fake type-written letter, pur- porting to be from E. P. Vining, the then manager of the Market-street Railroad Company, in which Pler was notified that he had been promoted to the position of division superintendent of a railroad in the southern part of the State. LOVED ANOTHER WOMAN. With this letter Pler succeeded in get- ting Mrs. Mantke to advance him $1800. ON SER-LIONS Scientists Find Animals Are Too Fond of Salmon. Claims of California Fish Commission Fully Sustained, The sea-lions must go. Such is the ver- dict of the committee of sclentists ap- pcinted by the United States Fish Com- mission to investigate their habits. Chief Deputy Vogelsang of the State commis- sfon predicts that within a short - time men will be stationed at the various rook- eries along the coast of California to claughter these strange mar:ne animals. The crime for which they must pay the Geath penalty is the destruction of sal- | mon, l Scores of the ‘“seals,” as they are gen- erally but unscientifically known, have already been killed and their stomachs on examination have been found to contain several varieties of fish suitable for hu- man consumption. The sea-lions unfor- tunately pessess an intense fondness for salmon. I'he State has been put to enor- mous expense to stock its rivers with these fish and the “seals” have been de- stroying them wholesale for several years. Prefessor Cloudsley Rutter, Edwin C. Starks and Professor Snodgrass made a thorough investigation of the habits of the suspected animal and have rendered an exhaustive report to the United States Iish Commission. They are unanimous in She paid over the money to him at his|ip " pejief ‘that the sea-lions ehould be office in the presence of two witnesses. They were fellow employes and Pler very cleverly relieved suspicion by saying that | Mrs. Mantke was the agent for a lottery | company ‘and that she was paying him a capital prize which he had won in the drawtng. A few days after Pler left the city Mrs. Mantke began to realize that | she had been bunkoed. Prior to his de- parture Pler was paying marked atten- tion to another woman named Mrs. Marx, a local dressmaker. He borrowed the sum of $50 from Mrs. Marx, but she was more careful than Mrs. Mantke and took his watch to guarantee payment of the money. When Pler got the money from Mrs. Mantke he paid Mrs. Marx back the $50 he had borrowed. The timekeeper’'s affection for Mrs. Marx, however, left the State an in the East. fine appearing and well educated. went to the exposition at Buffalo, but Mrs. Mantke got track of him there and he had to hurry away. PUT ON AIRS ABROAD. In the meantime Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham heard the story of Pler's operations and they commenced an invesc tigation. Pler traveled to Vienna and set himself up as a director of the Southern Pacific Rallroad Company. He made quite a splurge in Vienna on the little capital he had—in fact, it was so big that letters were written to this city inquiring about his financial standing. These letters fell into the hands of Detectives Graham and Fitzgerald. By some mischance Mrs. Marx happened to meet Mrs. Mantke and the two women compared notes, with the began to enjoy himself result that Mrs. Mantke decided to swear | out a warrant for Pler's arrest. days after the two women met, Marx received a letter from Pler, written Mrs. roved his undoing. Pler | He is a well-groomed chap, | He | killed off extensively, terminated. During the fall of 1898 and the spring of 13¢ the salmon fishers made numcrous calls for relief trom sea-lions to the State vommission. It was then stated that the animals were fast increasing in the bays and rivers and that their destruction of | edible fish was becoming a very serious ; watter. They followed salmon for more than 100 miles inland. The managers of the canneries, the buyers for the San Francisco markets and the Fish Commis- sion patro! supported the claims of, the fishermen fully. SCIENTISTS DISCUSS EVIL. Formerly the sea-lions were hunted for their hides and oil. As these products were soon more easily obtainable from other sources the industry disappeared. In consequence the animals swarmed the waters in the vicinity of salmon roads. In answer to the numerous complaints, a meeting of interested scientists was called to discuss the evil and if possible to dis- cover a remedy for it. Dr. David Starr Jordan of Stanford University, Dr. Charles H. Gilbert of the same institution and Dr. H. W. Harkness of the Academy of Sciences took promi- rent parts in the discussion of the ques- tion. River and bay fishermen, market- men and managers of canneries were also present. Dr. Jordan announced that he appeared as “‘attorney for the sea-lions.” Volum- inous evidence was submitted concerning the injury wrought by them. In closing, he said that he was convinced that much damage had been done and was con- stantly being done by the ‘“seals,” that the fishery interests had been patient and but not wholly ex- | that he entered a plea of guilty for the Zalophus. He indorsed the request of the fishermen that the Fish Commission take steps to do away with at least two-thirds ADVERTISEMENTS.

The sub-committee of three appointed Monday at the instance of Cowdery worked all morning on the proxies sub- | mitted by the aggrieved lot owners and reported that of the 51 lot owner: titled to vote but 262 of the number were | present, in person or by proxy, and | therefore, no quorum being present, the beard was unable to proceed with the business at hand. Cowdery read the pro- | vision of the association charter which empowered the chairman to adjourn the meeting for sixty days in the absence o a quorum. and, acting on the authority thus vested in him, he declared the me | ing adjourned. Later in the day the old | beard met and decided to hold the next meeting November 15. Ample notice of the proposed meeting will be given be- foreband, so that all the lot owners may be present in person or by proxy. Mean- time the incumbents will continue to transact business at the old stand. “This is a fight instituted by the un- dertakers,” sajd Cowdery, in talking with | a Call reporter last night. ‘“There is | nothing wrong with the management of the affairs of the association, as has been charged. Our books are open to the in- spection of all. We can account for, the | expenditure of every dollar that has been | disbursed by this association for the past quarter of a century.

The West Richmond Improvement | Club met last night in force at the Ber- gerot School, when a constitution and by- laws ‘were approved and adopted. Rob- ert Westwater, president of the organiza- tion, was in the chair. It was determined to agitate for the proper lighting of the district from Fif- | teenth avenue to Twenty-ninth avenae | and from Point Lobos avenue to the Pre- | sidio and the ocean. The president said that $24,000 had been | appropriated for the erection of the con- | templated Bergerot School, but there had | been delays and also indicattons that the | money appropriated might be utilized for | a school in another locality. Several of the members complained that the present school accommodation was such as to debar children from attending the present school, which was crowded to the walls.

C objections to a continuance of the se?; was argued that the animals were per- fectly harmless and that their destruction was wholly cruel. These protests and sen- timent carried the day. George M. Bow- ers, United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, sent the following com- munication to Secretary Gage: CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION. Sir: T have the honor to call your attention that it Is understood from newspapers and other scurces that the California Fish Commission has determined upon the destruction of the sea-lion herds upon the coast of that State. Scme of the newspaper notices indicate that it is the intention to cary the war against the sea lion even to the practical extermination of the species upon the California coast. It is also understood that permission to ill these animals on and about the lighthouse reserva- tions has been granted the California Fish Commissfon. The reason for this war on the sea lion is stated to be the assumed fact that the sea lion is very destructive to the fishing interests of that coast. From the best information obtainable it does not appear that any investigation or study of the food of the sea lion has ever been made. 1 cannot learn that any one has ever examined the stomach of a sea lion for the purpose of studying its food. It is not unlikely that the sea lion does feed to some extent upon food fishes, but it is equal- | Iy likely that it also feeds upon certain species of sharks, which may be even more destructive 0 food fishes than the sea lion is. In consideration of these facts it is respect- | tully urged that the order permittthg the kill- | ing of the sea lion on the Government reserva- tions on the California coast be suspended pending a_thorough investigation of the food Or, it the order cannot number only as may be necessary to furnish material for study of the stomach contents. It will be a national disgrace if this inter- esting and attracting animal should be exter- minated in this way and upon the very doubt- ful character of the evidence which has been brought against it. CONTINUES THE FIGHT. The seals were safe once more for a time, but the California commission was determined that its contentions should be { authoritatively proved or disproved. So on all sides there was a demand that a special committee of scientists should be appointed to settle the controversy. Ac- cordingly Professors Rutter and Snod- Starks were selected to make the necessary investigation. They visited all of the important rookeries on the coast of California and dissected hun- dreds of sea llons. Their investigations covered a period of six or‘seven months and were completed on February 7 of this year. The report, which was a very brief one, was sent to the United States Fish Com- slon. That body, for scientific reasons, wished the results of the research to be kept secret until published officially. It is stated that a review of the whole mat- ter is already in print and will probably be given to the public at an early date. The committee of scientists found sev- eral varieties of fish in the stomachs of the sea llons and salmon were particu- larly numerous. It was fully demonstrat- ed that the animals were doing immeas- urable injury to the fishing interests of the State. It is expected in consequence that the authorities will once again allow the California commission to perform its labors of slaughter. The commission does not want to exter- minate the sea lions, but merely to reduce their numbers to reasonable proportions for the protection of the fishermen. Since the first investigation was completed Ed- win C. Starks, who was one of the three members of the committee, has made an- other investigation in behalf of the State ‘commission. His studies this time were diregfed to the family habits of the sea lions, as the question of their foods was settled by the committee. He found them quite hu- man in some respects. The cows were always able to find their own offspring in | large groups of young seals. It was learn- ed also that one cow would not suppart the pup of another. It was deduced in this way that when a mother is killed the yecung must die also. The cows are very affectionate and constantly caress their offspring. The males are not companionable as a general thing and dispute the possession of certain favorable spots in the rook- eries. One instance was noted where a cow drowned her own “pup,” as the scientists call the young.
