L e e e i e e S e T ) FORMER SLAVES ARE THE VICTIMS Texas Swindlers Fleece Old Negroes by the Hundreds. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. HOUSTON, Tex., March 3.—A smooth swindle is being worked on the old ne- groes of Texas. Former ex-slaves are the special victims of it and it has been ascertalned that hundreds have been snared in this city alone. Houston seems to be the center of operations. The pro- moters have so far managed to keep in the background. Old-time negroes are to be seen about the city wearing upon their coats a badge worded thus: “Member ex-Slaves Associa- tion.”” The badge, together with a certifi- eate of membership in the alleged organi-’ zation, has cost each $1 50 or more. The originators of the swindle are white men, but they have enlisted shrewd and unprincipled blacks of a younger-genera- tion to assist them in their operations. Old negroes are approached and told that the Government i{s going to pension all ex-slaves; that a law providing for such is now being passed and that if they want the benefits of a pension gll they have to do is to join the ex-Slaves' Assoclation, which will put them immediately in line for a pension. The unsophisticated, colored man has heard talk of the pension bill and is an easy subject. He bites readily and then resorts to any means in his power to rhise the necessary membership fee. The usual fee is $1 50, although as high as $5 has been secured from some of the more prosperous class. The ex-slaves are not burdened with wealth. They are extreme- 1y poor and those that have a place to lay their heads and the assurance of enough to eat are fortunate. The raising of §1 50 with most of them is a large flnancial un- dertaking. But with the allurements of a monthly pension sufficient to make them feel rich they exert every energy to get the amount of money required. The certificates of membership recite that, besides the membership fee, a monthly assessment of 10 cents is made to defray the expenses of the organiza- tion and to assist in handling applications and getting them quickly into the hands of the Government.

BOXERS BRITT AND O'KEEFE ARE IN STRICT TRAINING Californian and Chicagoan Meet in Portland Next Monday Night in a Twenty-Round Bt.:)ut Which Both Men Seéem Confident of Winning £ CHICAGO LIGHTW MY BRITT OF THIS CITY IN PCRTLAND NEXT MONDAY IN A TWENTY-ROUND CONTEST. ——— IGHT BOXER WHO IS MATCHED TO MEET JIM- NIGHT ORTLAND, March 3 — Jimmy Britt has commenced to get on | edge for his contest with Jack O'Keefe, the crack Chicago boxer, which takes place next Monday night. The Californian trained faithfully for two weeks at Larkspur prior to com- | ing here, so when he donned his training togs at the Multnomah Club yesterday afternoon he looked every inch the terror he is credited with being. To look at Jimmy Britt walking along Morrison street on his way from the clubhouse to the Portland Hotel one would never sus- pect he was the boxer who made a sensa- tional leap from the amateur ranks to the top of his class in record-breaking time. When he strips for his afternoon work in the gymnasium it is evident his street at- tire hides one of the most wonderful pleces of figh.ing machinery in the coun- try. “What do I think of O'Keefe?’ echoed Britt to-day. "I prefer not to think of tne other man when I'm fitting myself for a contest. They generally keep you pretty busy thinking about them after the gong sounds. They tell me O'Keefe is a pretty hard custonier, and I guess he is. I know he has beaten some of the best men in the class. T'll answer that last question more | fully after next Monday night.” The Britt camp was strengthened this morning by the arrival of Billy Bates, the heavy-weight boxer, who won the recent SR cisco. Bates Is also under the management of Willie Britt. Jimmy arose early this morning and started out on a jaunt to the Eight-Mile House. He returned about 11 o'clock drippifk with perspiration, though not in the least fatigued. Several men have been suggested for | referee. Jack Grant, Fire Chief Campbell, Joe Acton and Tom Tracey seem to be more prominently mentioned for the place than the others, and the third man n the | ring will probably be selected out of that list. O'Keefe has been working like a Trofan for the past few weeks. He looks fit as a fiddle and says he is In fine fettle for a Lard contest. A delegation of Britt's ad- | mirers are coming up from San Francisco to see the mill. | recetving large orders for seats from | Seattle, Tacoma, Astoria, Vancouver and | othier citfes. O’Keefe is training os ccnsclenticusly as a minister studies his sermon. He is | up with the sun and out on tl'e ruad be- | fore the milkman comes along. After the road work he goes to his training head quarters, where he puts in several hours of the hardest kind of work. Yésterday he fairly pummeled his boxing Partner, pounding him all over the ring. Dick Fitzpatrick was on hand to-day and put “Quiet Jack through several pugilistic stunts. O'Keefe is in perfect condition. He does not discuss the outcome of his battle. All that he will say is: “Wait and see for yourself. I am going to do Olympic Club tournament at San Frsn-lx.l} best.” L i e e o e e e e e S B S | KILLED Him” oAY3 HOWARD San Jose Negro Revises Statements About a Murder. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, March 3.—Another chapter was added to his confession of the mur- der of Andre Soeur by Wilson Howard, the negro, this afternoon. With remark- able coolness he declared he alone had done the killing, but that Daspit had planned the crime with him and received a share of the booty. This morning Deputy Sheriff Bache swore to a complaint before Justice Ben- son charging Howard with the murder of Sceur, and the preliminary examination of the accused was set for this afternoon. ‘When Howard's cell was unlocked he told the jailer he was wiiling to go on the stand and give some new testimony, but before doing so he wanted to see Father Mackay. The clergyman was sum- moned and after Howard had been clos- cted with the priest for a short time the | examination began. Howard took the stand without hesitating and in a clear voice said: T killed old man Soeur alone. Daspit and I planned the murder up in his room. He did not go with me, though I divided the money 1 got with him. I went out to Socur’'s place, shot and robbed him. “I called Soeur outside and said 1 was an officer and would put him under ar- rest. Soeur demanded to see the warrant and T showed him the bogus one I had prepared. I then drew my revolver and showed it to Soeur and he said he would g0 as soon as he got his hat. He went into the house and ran out the back door and across the fleld, but I saw him and ran after him. I commanded him to halt or I would kill him, and caught him 200 yards away. 1 then started back with him, but stopped and robbed him. Soeur gave me a purse and some money in a handkerchief. A team was coming and I made Soeur climb the fence into the field ‘where he was found. As he continued to talk loud I killed him, thinking his mur- dor necessary to make my own escape. On the way back to town I threw away my revolver and cartridge belt.” This evening Howard accompanied Sher- iff Langford to the place and showed where the weapon was. Howard secured $185 65 from Soeur. Howard was held for murder. McComish Wins Farce Prize. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 3.— Charles D.

FEIGNG INSANITY NN ASHLOM Daniel Isom, Who Shot, a Modesto Marshal, Confesses. Special Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, March 3.—Daniel Isom, who was committed to the Napa State Hospital for the Insane about two weeks ago from Modesto, , to-day confessed to Dr. Stone, the medical superintendent, that he has been shamming Insanity for the purpose of avoiding punishment for shooting City Marshal R. D. Young of Modesté on De- cember 25, 1902 The Marshal had attempted to arrest Isom or quell some disturbance in which Isom was a particlpant and the latter drew a pistol and shot the officer. Young returned the fire and wounded Isom. Both men recovered from their wounds and Isom was placed on trial. His at- torney raised the point that he had be- come insane. A special jury was im- paneled to try the insanity issue and Isom was found to be insane. He was there- upon committed to the Napa State Hos- pital. Isom had not been in the hospital long before the doctors and attendants began to doubt the genuineness of his insanity. Dr. Stone kept a close watch on his ac- tions and finally to-day obtained a con- fession from him that he had been felgn- ing insanity. Dr. Stone notified the Su- perior Judge of Stanislaus County to send for the prisonér and the Sheriff will be here to-morrow to take him back to Modesto. Isom has employed a lgcal law firm to defend him and Congressman- elect Bell, one of the firm, will accompany him to Modesto. IDENTIFICATION OF BODY IS COMPLETED BY POLICE Authorities Believe That Mystery of Miss W. M. Parker’s Death Will Be Soon Solved. NEWPORT, R. I, March 3.—The police authorities have identified the body found under the cliffs last Thursday afternoon as that of Miss W. M. Parker. The name was learned to-day with the aid of Super- intendent Sylvester of the Police Depart- ment of Washington, D. C., and it Is be- lieved that it will lead to Information re- garding Miss Parker's past life. Beside the body was found & copy of “Ivanhoe’ and a Bible. The woman had destroyed every scrap of paper that would indicate who she was, but an envelope was found showing, though the name of the reciplent ‘was torn off, that she was a patron of the Hotel Raleigh, Washington, May 16, 1509. Through this Captain Sylvester learned that the woman was Miss Parker, who lived at the Raleigh Hotel from Septem. ber 26, 1898, to June 2, 1859, and who came to the hotel from Atlantic City. Previous to that it s believed, she lived in California. She had among her effects a Pullman car ticket to T.os Angeles and some transfer checks with the name of some hotel at Santa Cruz written thereon, Promoter Jack Day is| ENGLISH JUDGE * OB BEACH SHOW |George Raper Selected to Officiate in This City.
