POLIGE 00 NOT | FEAR CONSPIRACY New York OfficialsDoubt That There Is a Plot of Nihilists, Detectives Say That Only Two Men Are Concerned in Blackmail Scheme. T <8, NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—That there has | existed a Nihilist conspiracy to biack- wiall men of wealth, threatening them with death, is not accepted by the police of New York. Careful investigation was. made to-day by detectives, acting under the instructions of Captain Titus, with the it that evidence was produced | far to prove that no mavre | men were concerned it the riting of the threatening letters. William Becker, who was arrested at | the postofice when he called for letters | eddressed to C. C. Barton, ome of the! names attached to demands for mone: is known to have written all of the lef ters which have been turned over to the police. If he had an accomplice, it was 2 chum of his who is of the same stamp | of man as himself. He is regarded as | more insane than criminal. It is probable | that & commission will be appointed to | examine into his mental condition and | if he is found to be sane he will be turn- ed over to the United States authorities.

Dady claims that De Wyck- | off deposited the money in his own name | and afterward drew it out and left for | the United States. Dady arrived at Havana Wednesday, | expecting to meet De Wyckoff. He has a letter from the latter, in which De Wyck- | off intimates that he (De Wyckoff) has taken the money in payment for his legal services and threatens to attach Dady’s he is prosecuted.

BRIGE THERS " COME T0 GhEF Two Government Offi- cials Under Arrest at New York, Marked Bills Amounting to $4500 Are Found in Their Possession, R, NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Henry C. Wil- son, chief clerk and civil engineer in the Department of the East, United States army, and Dr. Benjamin T. Whitmore were arrested to-day by detectives. The men were charged with extortion and in thel- possession were found marked bills | amounting to $4500, ‘which, it is said, they | accepted as bribes, promising favors of an | officlal pature to the Water Front Im- | provement Company. So stunned were Wilson and Whitmore | by their arrest that they made no attempt | to deny their guilt. They were questioned | at length to-night and 1t is said that they | intimated that a Federal official, who | stands close to the present administra- tior, is implicated with them in a con- spiracy to extort money from New York business men. In arresting Wilson and Whitmore & successful conclusion was | made to a plan which has been maturing for more than a fortnight. The detectives | piace no reliance in the story that a high Federal official is implicated. GERMAN CONSUL SEEKS TO AVOID APPEARANCE Claims Superior Court Cannot Com- pel His Presence on. Order for Examination. Whether Adolph Rosenthal, the German Consul, is amenable to the laws of the State of California is a question that Judge Graham will have fo decide within pear future. This legal point was submitted to him yesterday by Joseph Haber Jr., attorney for Harry Bradley and W. A. McKinstry, who as plaintiffs in a suit for $3600 for legal services against Dorothea Kuhnle and five other | heirs of the late Andreas Berrot, desired | the presence of the Consul in the Super- | icr Court to explain what disposition he had made of the sum of $70,000, alleged | to have been received by him for the de- | fendants from the Berrot estate, and which, the plaintiffs allege, the Consul refused to hold subject to a garaish- secured by the plaintiffs. The Consul claims that under the treaty of 1§71 the Buperior Court has no juris- diction over him and he has refused to appear before Judge Graham on an or- der of examination. Haber claims that | nis stand is the correct one, as he says, if the Consul is sustained, there will be no court in the United States that can | deal with him. He claims that Rosenthal, while he has a right to move that a suit | brought against him shall be tried in the | United States Court, has no right to seek to evade an appearance in the courts of | this State on garnishment process. —————————— ENIGHTS OF PYTHIAS EXPEL AN OFFICIAL Former Head of a Board of Control | Ousted by a Grand i Tribunal. CHICAGO, Nov. l4.—After a hearing | that lasted nearly all week, the Grand | ‘Pribunal of Illinois, Knights of Pythias, | has voted unanimously to expel J. A.| Hinsey, who was retired from the head of the board of control of the Endowment | Rank last. year. Hinsey has appealed (o the Supreme Tribunal, which will meet at | Indianapolis in February. At the recent | meeting of the Supreme Lodge in San | Francisco he was suspended from its membership pending the action of the Mineis Grand Tribural Dr. A. 1. Duffeleur, who was medical | director of the Endowment Rank during | the Hinsey administration, has been sus- pended for a year by the Illinois Grand Tribunal. Secretary H. D.

M. g TREASURY OFFICIALS FEAR ANOTHER CRASH Anxiety Is Increased by Further Withdrawals From the Sub-Treasury. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—The anxiety of Treasury Department bfcials regard- ing the financial outlook in New York was materially increased to-day by an- other request from San Francisco for a deposit of $3,000,000 in the New York Sub- Treasury and its withdrawal from the San Francisco Sub-Treasury. This makes a total of $6,000,000 asked for by San Fran- | arette,” cisco within three days. 1t is realized that the requests from San Francisco are forerunners of similar de- mands from all sections of the country. Becretary Shaw is fearful of further de- clines in the stock .market. A continu- ance of the slump experienced in the past four days would precipitate acute liquida- tion with serious consequences.

S W, Nov. 14.—The southern parts of Australia have been | visited\by unprecedented violent dust storms, the dryness which has prevailed for' seven years reaching its climax this yea! The terribly destructive drought has destroyed herbage in large areas, laying the land bare. A heavy gale on November 13 rgised immense quantities of dust from these tracts and drove vast clouds of red pow- dered earth far and wide. The atmos- phere was oppressive and it was hardly possible to breathe. The darkness was intense while the dust clouds were’pass- ing. The inhabitants of numerous towns were badly frightened by the darkness and hid in their houses. Artifcial light was neceseary in the streets of Mel- bourne, where there was also much ball | lightning, which ignited several buildings. Clouds ex~ v dark in Sydney.

The water-color exhibition at Mark Hopkins Institute of Art drew another large crowd yesterday. The excellence of the works and the good judgment of the | banging committee came in for unstinted | praise. Among the pictures admired were Haig Patigian’s “The Tower” and ‘Morning,” two very Interesting and carefully exe- cuted works which could not fail to at- tract general attention. Margaret M. uck also shows some excellent work. “The Pool in the Meadow” is one of Miss Buck’s best pictures. Marion Holden has taken advantage of her long sojourn abroad and has in consequence given scme very pretty colored Venetian scenes, which will not be overlooked by the vis- itor to the institute. 4 There are but few portraits and among the limited number none stands out more prominently than J. W. Clawson’'s “Cig- which is extremely Frenchy in treatment. This artist has also two more ures—a portrait of Mrs. Clawson, which shows skill and patience, and “In- jun,” a strong work, with any amount of character. There are many more pictures which are certain to add to the reputation of the artists. ——— s VOCALIST IS GREETED WITH LIBERAL APPLAUSE Mme.

BOSTON, Nov. 14.—The Central Nation- al Bank of this city did not open for business to-day, the Comptroller of the Cufrency having ordered Bank Examiner W. A. Neal to close its doors and take charge of its business as temporary re- ceiver. ~ The closing of the bank is said to be due to excess of loans and a lack of quick assets. the Boston Clearing House Association, but the committee did not deem it advisa- ble to assist the bank. 3 Thejank is among the smaller insti- tutiond of the city. It was organized in 1873 with a capital of §500,000. Its deposits aggregate $2,700,000, and it is believed that this amount can be paid in full without an assessment on the stockholders. Otis H. Luke is president and J. Adams Brown cashier. 4 The Central National Bank never fully recovered from a blow it received twenty years ago, when, with the Pacific Bank, which failed at that time, it was involved in the collapse of the Lebanon Springs Railroad in Vermont. The Central Bank then lost $350,000, and an assessment of about. 100 per cent was made upon the stockholders and no dividends were pald for thirteen years. A meeting of the stockholders had been called for Decem- ber 10 to approve a plan for the Eliot National Bank to take over the business. Upon investigation, however, President Burrage of the Eliot Bank and his board of directors refused to accept the assets of the Central Bank as security for any guarantee of the $2,700,000 deposits. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—A statement concerning the closing of the Central Na- tional Bank of Boston, issued at the Comptroller of the Currency office to- day, recites that the bank was examined September 11 last, and while the exami- ner's report showed losses equal to the surplus and undivided profits then on hand there was no evidence of insolvency. Certain conditions were then Imposed with a view to providing for losses and securing the bank against further loss on its loans. Later it was determined to place the institution In voluntary liquida- tion by having another bank in Boston take over its assets and assume its de- posit- liabilities, and it was thought that arrangements to this end were being car- ried out‘until the acting Comptroller re- | ceived a dispatch from Examiner Neal vesterday that efforts to liquidate had failed. The failure, the statement says, is due to losses sustained. There is -no apparent dishonesty on the part of the officers of the bank,so far as the records of the Comptroller’s office show. FOUR MORE BRICKYARD EXPERTS UNDER ARREST They Are Indignant at the Prospect of Deportation and Deny the S. 3 Four men employed in Steiger's terra cotta works at Baden were arrested yes- terday by order of United States Immi- grant Commissioner North on a charg being contract laborers imported to this State to work in Gray Brothers' brick-| yard. This addition swells the total num- ber to fifteen now in custody awaiting deportation to England, whence they came. The last four to be arrested are Charles Cranfield, Thomas Clark, Charles South and John Miller. They stated that they left Liverpool on September 27 in response-to an advertisement in the Daiiy Northerp Telegraph for “burners, setters and drawers for the continuous kiln, with capacity of 100,000 daily; wages from 5 to 2 shillings per day.” They paid George Morton, an engineer at the English brick- yard, 10 shillings for giving them #‘the tip.” There were eight in the party, and when they arrived at New York four were ordered dported because they had stated that they were coming out t6 gel work in S8an Francisco. On arriving here the remainder went to the office of Gray Brothers and applied for employment, which was given them at from $2 to $3 25 per day. They denied emphatically that they came heré under contract or that they had ever made a contract at any time with anybody. The men are indignant at the prospect of beihg deported. They like their treat- ment and the climate here and want to remain. They are a fine looking lot of men. They were taken to the Angel Isl- and quarantine grounds last evening for safekeeping. e e Many Bowling Teams Meet.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call; 1118 Broadway, Nov. 4. Complete official returns on the State and county tickets, exclusive of some of the district figures, show interesting re- sults. With the tabulations, as canvassed by the Board of Supervisors, Chief Jus- tice Beatty leads the State officers in Ala- meda County's vote with a majority of 9513, followed closely by Congressman Metcalf, whose official majority is 9534. Third on the list of highest candidates is Frank C. Jordan, Supreme Court Clerk- elect, with 9134, and fourth is Supreme Justice-Elect Angellotu, with 9025. The vote on Associate Justicess shows | that Shaw, the other Republican, ran be- | hind Angellottl 4403 votes in this county. This difference can be only accounted for in the fact that the ballot had Angel- lotti's name first in order and did not designate that two names were to bée voted under the Associate Justices’ head. Further demonstration is given in the fact that Farnsworth and Trask, the Democratic nominee, ran within 350 votes of each other. Official figures glve Feidler, County Treasurer-elect, the highest majority, 4498, on the county ticket. Gray (R.), for Pub- lic Administrator, defeats White (U. L.) by a majority of 216. White has taken steps for a recount. Bacon (U. L.), ac- cording to the official returns, leads Ew- ing (R.) by 68 majority. Ewing will file a contest, but will take a snap taliy dur- ing the Rogers-Bishop recount to decide whether he will prosecute the suit. The official returns elect Ramage Con- stable of Eden Township over Gallett by a vote of 739 to 716. This is the only ma-~ terial change over the unofficial figures on Justices of the Peace and Constables. The proposed constitutional amend- ments were carried, except the last three. That relating to State highways was beaten by a majority of 26l. The obnox- ious amendment No. 8, relating to the ap- pointment of a State Corporations’ Com- mission, lost by a majority of 8245 and tha proposed abolition of grand juries was defeated by 38181 majority.

Londo'n Attorney of Matri- monial Broker Must Ex- plain About a Loan. e ALIMEDA. Nov. 14.—Solicitor Fitzger- ald Lucius O'Brien, late of 101 St. George's Rcad, London, now of 161§ Clinton ave- nue, this city, and who according to his own statements was the legal adviser of Captain Ladislaus de Pokorny, the Lon- don matrimonial broker, whose business it is to arrange matches for European nobles, who have the blood but not the boodle, with American heiresses, who have the ‘cagsh and want a coronet, has been haled into dourt at the instance of his baker, Mrs. Bridget McGinnis. It is not a matter of doughnuts, but a matter of dollars due and owing, that explains why the exalted Hiberno-Romaa name of Fitzgerald Luctus O’'Brien appears in the docket book of City Recorder Stuart Tay- lor's court. ‘When the British barrister and his wife arrived here some six months ago from England they rented the residénce on the west side of Oak street, between Central and Santa Clara avenues. Within a block of this house, on Santa Clara avenue, is the little bakery conducted -by Mrs. Bridget McGinnis. Solicitor O'Brien was not slow in discovering the place. Mrs. McGinnis’ juicy jelly rolls, sugared lady fingers and homemade bread, as white and light as drifted snow, captivated the appetite of the lawyer from London, and he became a patron who dropped in regu- Jarly and often. When he departed he invariably carried with him something that was good to eat. One day prior to October 22 Fitzgerald Lucius O'Brien visited the bakery, and when he made his exit he was burdened with nothing that was manufactured of flour dough, but rejoiced In the possession of $40 of the coin of the realm, which, in siangy parlance, is commonly referred to as the ‘“real dough.” This sum Mrs. Mc- Ginnis loaned Marriage Broker Pokorny’s attorney, who represented to her that he was somewhat shy of necessary cash at the time and was hourly expecting a draft from England. When it came to hand he would return the loan, with many thanks, to Mrs. McGinnis. Days and weeks passed, and the obliging baker lady waited patiently for her money. She is still waiting. After repeatedly requesting O'Brien to pay her what he owes her, Mrs. McGin- nis retained Attorney Howard K. James to assist in trying to collect the bill against the foreign barrister. She as- signed the claim to P. F. Jenkins, and suit for recovery of the loan was com- menced in the City Recorder’s Court on Cetober 22. Summons was served on O’'Brien on October 27. He filed an an- swer of general denial the same day, said he would represent himself in the action and the case was set for trial on November 6. When that day arrived the London lawyer asked for a continuance until December 11, stating as a reason that he expected to receive a draft from England before that date and would be then so financed that he could square himself with his baker. Thus the litiga- tion now stands. Solicitor Fitzgerald Lucius O’Brien and Lis family at present occupy an elegantly furnished residence at 1616 Clinton ave- nue, where they entertain in mother- country style. CHARGES MAJOR DEVOL " WITH ASSAULTING HIM Serious Allegations Against Superin- tendent of Army Transport Ser- vice Sent to Washington. A complaint of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman was forwarded yesterday by Customs Collector Stratton to the Secretary of the Treasury accus- ing Major C. A. Devol, saperintendent of the army transport service, of having violently assaulted Gustoms Inspector J. B. Peppin Jr. and of having shown his contempt for the customs authority. Statements of Mr. Peppin, the alleged victim of the assault, and of his wit- nesses accompany the Collector’s letter. Mr. Peppin’s statement is to the effect that while he was on guard on the gang- plank of the Government transport Sum- ner on November 10, by order of Deputy Customs Surveyor St. John, and while Mr. St. John and inspectors were taking the baggage declarations of the passen-| gers, the United States tug Slocum, with Major Devol and sixty passengers, many of they ladies, came alongside. Mr. Pep- pin sent another inspector to ask Mr. St. John whether he should permit the party to come on board, and an answer in the affirmative was returned at once. Major Devol thereupon seized Peppin from be- hind and almost threw him off the gang- way, at the same time saying, “You get out of my way.” Mr. Peppin replied that he was there according to orders, doing only his duty, and Major Devol then geized him by the :hroat and held him up against the deckhouse, remarking, “You get out.of here. I propose to show You customs peopla that you are not run- nirk this transport.” Devol was taken away spectors. " Major Devol states that Peppin was im- pertinent, even after he had received or- ders from Mr. St. John to admit the party. 4 by other in- —_————————— Federal Appeal Court Breaks Record. The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals concluded an eight weeks’ continu- ous session yesterday, which for length of service and the number of importani decisions breaks all previous records. The most important of these decisions was that by which the court crushed the | red cedar shingle trust of Washington. The trust had made a stubborn fight against the law and battled on every avallable technicality, but the court, just a3 United States Circuit Judge Morrow Gid In the Federal salt trust case, brushed aside all these technicalities and decided | that the issue was, not what the trust| purported to do, but what it really did; that contracts, agreements, etc., innocent on their face, should be construed with regard to their object, and that If such object was illegal the corporation doing business under such contracts and agree- ments was likewise fllegal. o — Companions of the Forest Reunion.

UNION PAGIFI; * BT THE STOCK Acquires a Large Major= ity of Southern Pa- cific Securities, —_——— Wall Street Learns of the Big Deal in Railway Interests. NEW YORK, Nov. 14—A statement was eirculated in Wall street to-day that the Union Pacific Company has acquired an actual majority of $197,849.227 of out- standing capital stock of the Southern Pacific Company. The Union Pacific Company, accerding to official figures given in its recent annual report, held on June 30 $90,000,000 of Southern FPacifc stock, or about §9,000,000 less than a ma- Jerity. It was learned authoritatively to-day that there had been no increase in the company’s Southern Pacific holdipgs, but the man who made this statement inti- mated that he could not speak as to the Southern Pacific stock held by the direc- tors of the Union Pacific Company as in- dividuals. In any case, he said, the hold- ing of a block of $90,000,000 out of $197,- 849,227 stock, in his opinion, meant that there was no possible chance of the Union Pacific Company being put in the position of losing its control of the Southern Pacific Company. LAW REQUIRES PROTESTS TO BE MADE IN WRITING The Supervisors’ Jom‘. Committee on Judiciary and Finance yesterday report- ed against the petition of Tax.Collector Smith that all taxes pald for the present year, which include the special levies for new schoolhouses and a hospital, be con- sidered as paid under protest. Smith asked that a resolution to that effect be passed in order to insure the return of the special tax to small taxpayers who are not filing protests, should the lgvies be declared illegal. P The committee held that the board would stultify itself by passing such a resolution, as section 3819 of the Political Code requires protests against the pay- ment of taxes to be made in writing. As a relief for those who do not protest in writing the committee cited section 1504 of the code, which provides that no order of the Board of Supervisors, to re- fund taxes shall be made except upon a verified claim therefor filed within .six months after the making of the payment sought to be refunded. —_——— .
