Kane, secretary of the Pacific Soclety for the Suppression of Vice, is) trying to solve the mystery surroundin; | the parentage of the child he rescued last Thursday night from the Chinese Theater on Washington street. Kane is convinced that his charge is a white child and that ehe fell into the hands of the Chinese act- ors frem whom he took her in an illegal He has several clews to the identity of the littie girl, but has not yet succeeded in locating her parents. Regarding the child Kane sald: There is no doubt in my mind that the little girl we rescued last night from the Chinese Theater is a Caucasian, and I believe we will have no difficuity in at least proving this fact if not the identity of the child's parents, She is not part Chinese. This Is quite conclusive, even though they were trying to have her wear a queue. Incidents during the time of rescue and events prove conclusively that the little girl was stolen and | [ sequent night when I obtained the child, Ngan he woman in whose possession we found bher, did mot seem particularly concerned over being deprived of the child. She seemed to care more for her own part in the play than any concern over the girl's welfare. Chinese Las Yon, very difficult to obtain information, but from the woman last night I learned that the little girl was brought from New York via Portland to San Francisco. Of course, she sald she was her child. From past experience that statement is wholly a fake for the reason that no writ for posses- In every other case Chinese are very prompt to take legal steps for possession where & child is of their 1 do not know the name of the were elopments in the case that may solve the mysetry. Miss Mackel, who resides on Harriet street, between Harrison and Bryant, believes the little girl no other than her sis- ter. Mise Mackel came to me just as I was leav- ing my office to-day and asserted this fact. She was convinced it was her sister from description and pheto and to-morrow will see the child. She stated to me that some three vears ago her stepfather took her little sis- ler away from their home in California going East. Subsequently they located him in Port- land, but have never been able to get & trace of the missing sister. We have several parties working on_ this case, and I think eventually we will find the parents of this child, even though it does not prove to be little Miss Mackel. It is a white child .though, and no mistake, Secratary Kane took the little walf from the matron’s room at the City Prison vesterday morning and placed her in a comfortable home, where she will be cared for until the mystery of her parent- age is cleared up. —_— —_— DENIAL OF CHINESE OONSUL CONTRADICTED enn Says 'Ihnt His Published Explanation Is More Diplomatic Than Truthful, The Chinese Bureau denies the truth of the statement made by Acting Chinese Consul Chow Yo Kwon that the bureau refused to accept Chinese bondsmen as security for the safckeeping of Wong Kum Po, the sick Chinese, who was re- moved last Wednesday night from the detention shed to the Chinese Hospital. The law requires a bond of $1000 secured by real estate, and neither the Chinese Consul nor any one else offered any se- curity of that kind, says Inspector Bar- bour. The patient, who was suffering from a bad attack of pleurisy, was taken charge of by the steamship company. Weng arrived on the Peru in transit to Mexico. Chinese Consul Ho Yow recently went on the bonds of two Chinese students who had failed to bring with them the neces- sary papers. The students escaped into Canada and Ho Yow's bond was found to be worthless, there being no real es- tate B WITH IBURNS DOWNS A SMART FIELD ACTION, A 40 TO 1 SHOT Jay Ransch Calls Down the Ire of the Critics for His Ride on Leader. A Carnival of Outsiders at the Track Over ‘the Bay---Ravino and- Urchin Are Among the Several Surprises Furnished £y ONG shots came piling in past the wire first at Oakland yesterday thicker than colonels in a Ken- tucky barroom. After Glenden- ning had taken the first event, starting an even money favorite, Ravino, a 15 to 1 chance, nosed out the favorite, I 0 U, in the race following. Father Wentker, backed up from 8 to 5 to 18 to b, got through all right in the third recital. Urchin, with Bill Waldo up, distinguished himseif by capturing the mile selling run at odds of 12 to 1, with Donami, a 5 to 1 outsider, only a neck away, the favorite, Nigrette, a head far- ther back. Tommy Burns,. though, car- rled off the honors by landing Action, winner of the six and -a. half - furlong sprint, at 40 to 1, beating among others Warte Nicht and Leader. Beana,a9tof favorite, barely nosed out Katle Walcott, 2 20 to 1 chance, in the last race, with Glissando, at odds of 100 to 1, third. RANSCH WAITS TOO LONG. In the race won by Action Jay Ransch came in for much adverse criticism on | account of his effort on Leader, the 7 to 1¢ favorite. At the start Tommy Burns | with Action lost no time in racing off in the lead. Andrew Ring for a time tacked on behind, but couldn’t stand the clip. Meantime Ransch had taken the favorite back to fifth position. In the run home Action did not_back up perceptibly, lead- ing out Warte Nicht more than a Yength. Full of run, Ransch brought Leader atong in time to get the show. It was a most Injudicious ride on Ransch’s part, to say the least. If he was riding under instructions he grgatly overplayed his | hand. Lady Jocelyn recelved strong sup- ! port from the smart set, but was sore and cut little figure in the running. Glendenning, with “Handriding” Kelly at the helm, had an easy time of it in the first event. The fast sprinter led from the jump, beating Prestano- out two lengths. Rose of Hilo was third. RAVINO WINS BY A NOSE. Alarie on I O U, favorite for the first mile and 100 yard run, rode a well judged race until the paddock was reached. Then, with the race well in hand, he grew | careless, permitting Lewis on Ravino to | steal up and nip his mount out a nose on | With a trifle farther to go | Forte, which ran third, would have won, | the wire. Johnny Daly put Barney Schreiber’ horse Father Wentker over the plate a handy winner of the Futurity course | sprint following. The price receded from §to 5 to 16 to 5, and he won all the way, | In a long, hard drive Dolly Weithoft earned a nose decision over Mike Murphy for place honors. Two necks and a head separated Urchin, Donami, Nigrette and Dupont at the fin- ish of the mile selling affair, the four crossing the wire in the order named. Urchin passed Donam! when half the dis- tance had been covered. Waldo's superior | saddle ability told when the pinch came. Nigrette closed strongly and might have won if the distance had been a bit longer. | Burns' superb finishing powers alone got Beana over the mark first for the closing mile and 100 yard number. mare, once 2% to 1, closed a 9 to 5 chance, and a furlong from home her chances locked dubious indeed. Then Burns drew his whip and gradually wearing down the lead of Katle Walcott received a nose de- cision. gl THE ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

Burns captured the last two races on the card. The old campaigner Sim W was a starter in the third race. He ran a good race and will take some beating when the mud flies again. Burns & Waterhouse, it is sald, closed the deal yesterday, disposing of their contract on the services of J. Ransch to August Bemont.

The Follansbee high-weight handicap at | seven furlongs with a great fleld of starters is the feature of the card at Oakland this after- noon. The crack brown sprinter, Kenilworth, is among those carded to go, asked to nego- tiate 140 pounds, Paseengers on the 1:30 boat from this side 4id not reach the teack owing to the fog until 145, missing two races. Those at the track saw but fleeting glimpres of the starters in the first ana last events. | " Dell Fountain is the owner of Sir Hugh, having purchased the colt from W. B. Jen ngs. The latter horseman also disposed of | Siiks to Frank Farrer. P. Lynch bought Rameses from Green Mog- | ris_yesterda; Trainer “Kid” Delaney and the horse Sunello have been reinstated.

Detective Charles White, after a three months' search, located the men from whom the robbers bought the boat which was found sunken with sand in the river near where they had temporarily burled their booty. The boat was purchased at La Crosse and the robbers, so the detect- ive found, went down the river in the skiff, taking four days to make tha trip. They were joined at Dubuque by' two others, which made the party six in num- ber. One of the robbers who was killed wore a pair of shoes just purchased in Dubuque and the shoes served to identify the gang and led subsequently to their capture and arrest in Loulsiana, It develops from the story of one of the robbers that the dead robber had becn killed by one of his companions. It ap- pears that they had a secret code of sig- nals which they were to use. The dead rabber, in coming around the train, did not give the signal and was shot by one of ~"the other robbers. After the safe had been blown o6pen and the robbers un- hitched the engine they put the wounded man on board. One of the party said to him: “Can you talk yet?’ He réplied: “Yes,” whereupon one of his companions shot him through the head, killing him instantly. They then had a discussion as to how to dispose of the body, and finally décidea to throw it out of the engine cab. They then abandoned the engine, got into the skiff, went across the river, burled the money and sunk thé boat. Several half dollars which fell from the pile of $2500 they secured were found in the sand. FAVORS REPEAL OF RICKARD ACT Bar Association Wants Return to Old Form of Ballot. At its annual meeting yesterday after- noon the Bar Association adopted a minority committee report favoring the repeal of the Rickard act and a return to the old form of the ballot. The com- mittee was instructed to prepare a bill for such purpose. The committee unanimously reported in favor of an amendment to the existing law whereby the courts are precluded from declaring a mark upon the ballot a distinguishing mark, “unless it manifest- ly appears that such marking was not made by inadvertence or mistake, but for the purpose and with the intent of identi- tying the ballot.” This amendment, it is considered, will change the presumption now enforced by the courts against the validity of the bal- lot and create a presumption in favor of its validity. The committee was divided upon the policy of repealing the present Rickard law and returning to the original form of ballot. uur considerable discussion the minor- ity report, submitted by W. I Brobeck, was adopted, Dies From Tuberculosis. Chlet Wittman was notified yesterday that Policeman Robert J. Byrne had died Thursday night at Santa Clara from tu- berculosis.
