White, vice president nd director of the Bank of South Penn- at Hyndman, Redford Count was arrcsted by a Deputy United States Marshal to-day and held in $8000 bail by a United States Commissioner for a fur- ther hearing next Wednesday. The war- rant was sworn out by Special Bank Ex- miner Mason, who said that he was act- | ing under instructions from United States Attorney General Knox. Examiner Mason was ordered to Hynd- man on December 16 last and on his rec- ommendation the bank was closed. He was appointed receiver. Speaking of subsequent developments, Mason sald: I found that the bank instead of having a £10,000 surplus was $50,000 worse off than nothing. Among the *‘assets” were $11,000 worth of George B. White's notes and a ncte . his sister, Mra. S. W. Tully of in 1900. Mre. Jearned, died two ong ofher “assets” also were notes to a large amount of the Hazen Tanning Company, a concern which failed years ago. 1 have been able to pay the depositors in full, but the stockholders won't get $5 on their shares, the par value of which is $100. Mason stated further that the Hyndman bank was owned in 1889 by John K. White, a brother of the accused, who Ma- con states is a fugitive from justice. He also organized the Hazen Tanning Com- pany, built an electric light plant and started a newspaper. During the panic of 1893 John White's schemes failed, ac- cording to Mason, and he disappeared Later his brother, George, came upon the scene, claimed 300 shares of the bank's tock which had belonged to John. George was the promoter of the Amazon Trading ompany, which was organized with a apital of $15,000,000. Mason says the ac- cused borrowed $380,000 from New York and Boston banks on the stock and then went into bankruptey.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 20,—By the careless throwing down of a lighted match by a guest in his room a fire was started to-night which practically de- stroyed the Clarendon Hotel, at Canal and Bridge streets, with its contents, en- | tailing a total loss estimated at $100,000 | and causing the loss of one life and the | more or less serious injury of several per- | sons. The dead: | WILLIAM HAWKINS, traveling i‘mfln of Bay City, Mich, | The injured: Peter Sternberg, Chicago, severely burned on face and hands; Mrs, | Willlam R. Laugheray, dancing teacher, head burned; Guy Doty, yardman, head and face burned; Harry Morris, bellboy, | burned on hands and face. Peter Sternberg went to his room on }(he second floor and, after igniting the | gas, threw the lighted match among a | lot of his silk goods, which took fire im- mediately. The flames spread with great rapidity and by the time the fire depart- ment got to work they were bursting | from nearly every window. The body of Willlam G. Hawkins was found in a back room on the third floor badly charred. He had been cut off from escape by the flames in front and his room looked out over the power canal in | the rear of the hotel, where it would have | been practically impossible to reach him even If his plight had been known.

JOHNSON 4 —— Butcher Boy Puts Up Game Fight, but Is Outpointed Throughout the Battle Indian Football Player Is Badly Beaten Up by Tom Smith, a Montana Miner I last night as it has not been in many moons. Three heavy-weight bouts on the card were responsible for the overflow gathering. The specta- tors were not disappointed, as every bout wag a rough-house affair and every man did’ his best. The event of the night was between Willlam Johnson, who is being carefully broken into the meat handling art, and big Gus Koster, whose antics have been witnessed by every man who ever stood near a prizering. Koster knew just a trifie more about the punching business and for that reason he was handed the decision, but in the meantime the young one was fighting some and showed he has the goods and can deliver them when he learns. Both men were rather careful in the opening spasm, but Koster managed to get in a few good blows, which, how- ever, Johnson stood like a game boy. In the second round Koster started to draw a little blood and in a few minutes the butcher boy's face looked like a near re- lation to one of the beefsteaks he is ac- customed to handling. The men kept hustling for the last two rounds and Johnsgon showed to better advantage. He landed many good blow on the body and face of K er, which the latter did not relish. They were fighting hard when the gong sounded and Referee Greggains awarded the decision to Koster. Indian Joe Schmed made his second ap- pearance as a real fighter and it was nearly as disastrous as the first. He | went up against Tom Smith, a big miner from Montana, who treated the red one to a few stiff punches that put him to the bad. Finally the former football player began to rough it, but even this availed him nothing, as Smith knew all about the game in all its stages and easily fought the redskin off and re- ceived the palm of victory. George Dixon of Los Angeles lost in the third round of his go with George Murry. He began to fight fast at first, but could not stand the pace and the referee stopped it in the third, when Dixon was all in. Jack Hurine proved too much for Al Smith, the latter going down in the fourth under a shower of body blows. Dick Highland and Jack Burke put up one of the greatest fights ever seen at the club, Highland finally getting the de- cision. It was anybody's fight for a time and blows came raining down, each man receiving a lot of punishment. Joe Reilly made George Lewis quit in three rounds and Eddie Burns put Harry Tenny away in the same length of time. L e e e e o TENNIS MEN PLAN SEASON OF ACTIVITY Proceedings Will Open To- Morrow With a Singles Tourney on Park Courts A N I naments and a lively season is an- ticipated. Now that there are so many clubs on both sides of the bay, it is expected a series of interclub matches will take place. The next tournament of importance will be the class singles event, which will be played on the park courts to-morrow. In the first class three new cracks of the California Tennis Club are entered and the play will be of a much higher order than heretofore. R. N. Whitney, Nor- man Hotchkinson and Grant Smith will play and some great matches are antici- pated. Besides these such experts as Will Allen, Harry Routh, Will Frost and Charles Dunlap will also fight for the honors of the class. Whitney and Smith drew each other in the opening round. Will Allen has won the first-class cup twice and needs but one more win to se- cure it permanently. With these new players competing, his chances are ma- terially- lessened. In the second class there are sixtecn players. Charles Griffin has won the cup twice and George Jones once. The bat- tle to-morrow will undoubtedly be be- tween these two men and the Hotchkiss brothers. The latter have been improv- ing steadily and much s expected of them. There is a large entry list in both the third and fourth classes. Nobody has won these cups more than once. ‘The holders are Herbert Long in the thud class and M. Long in the fourth, Play will be called promptly at 9 o'clock and those not on hand will be de- faulted. The intercollegiate and academic tour- naments will be played next month. The former will be played on the 1Sth. It has not been settled whether the colluge or California Club courts will be the bat- tle ground. The Academic Athletic League cham- pioniship tournaments will be played on the 11th and 25th of April on the Cali- fornia Club courts. The singles will be played on the former date and the doubles on the latter. All the preparatory schools in this part of the State will be repre- sented and the games will be exceedingly close. Heretofore one school has out- classed all the rest, but this year it would be a difficult matter to pick the winner. The first event of importance to be played on the California Club courts will be for the championship of San Fran- cisco. It will probably be an open tour- nament, in which event the cracks from both sides of the bay will compete. There will be another tournament for ladies on the park courts.next weck. Mrs. Bozarth, the president of the Ladies’ Annex, announces it will be a novelty, but its nature has not been divulged. —_————— WILL RACE TEN MILES ON 'nn_ KA-_Y'WAED‘ ROAD The annual ten-mile road race of the New Century Wheelmen will be held to- morrow over the High street to Hay- wards course. The first riders will be sent away at 11 a. m. The race will be in charge of the following officlals: Joseph Holle, clerk of course; N. Nemark, W, Stein, judges; A. Carl, C.

Each side claims the other man should be an 8 to 10 favorite. Harry Corbett and other good judges of prices believe the betting will open at even money. The volume of coin which flows in on either man will then regulate the price, as it does in all manner of competition. Jos Humphreys, Terry McGovern's represen- tative, voices their side of the matter in this manner: There seems to be a great controversy among the sporting men throughout the country re- garding McGovern being favorite over Young Corbett. I would be pleased to show why Young Corbett should be favorite over Terry, by giving facts regarding both boys. When Young Corbett and Terry met at Hartford both were in good condition. Young Corbett then showed plainly that he was a great ring gen- eral and had a good punch in each hand. He knocked out McGovern fairly and squarely and not by a fluke, as many think to this day.

This event has always been one of the most popular of the stukes of the New California Jockey Club. Unfortunately, Siddons may not be a As stated before in these columns, Steveps' great horse spread one of his hoofs, and it is barely possible the son of Wadsworth will face the barrier. The card offered the race going public to-day is one of the most appetizing of the season. In the ‘‘baby” event Rapid Water, Toledo, Mili- tary Man and H. L. Frank, four of the fastest 2.year-olds out this season, will clash. Money Muss, Peter J, Double 8ix and Organdie, four of the starters in the third race, could win brackets on any race course in the country. There are thirteen starters in the mile and sev- enty-yard handicap, among them Horton, the Burns handicap winner. Bonner, the colored boy, won two races yes- terday and twice finished on show horses. There was a tinge of romance connected with the win of Billy Randall's Cloviso. The fast sprinter was ridden by Albert Songer, who rode over in Austria last season with considerable success. It was Songer's second mount here this winter, and before the race he confided to a friend that if he won he would have all the money he wanted and he wouid immediately depart for New York, where a longing sweet- heart anxiously awaits the sound of his foot- steps. Cloviso beat Judge Voorhies a nose at 10 to 1, and it remains to be seen Whether Songer '‘makes good” and journeys overland to claim his bride. F. A. Van-de Vanter, one of the leading spirits in the big race meeting at Seattle, will be in San Francisco on April 10. Seattle will make a big bid for the horsemen’s patronage. Charley Gray, a California boy who rode for one of the big Austrian stables last season, had his first_ mount here on Emil in the 2-year-old dash. Charley gave a good account of himselt ©on the back of the 100 to 1 shot and should be seen oftener in the saddle. Reed was carded to ride Pickaway in the opening race, but illness kept the Schorr rider out of the saddle. With Reed up instead of Watson the 3-year-old would have rolled in. Maurice Eppinger, owner of Whoa Blll, lost 4 1-3 pounds rooting for his 2-year-old. He re- covered the lost weight after a five-minute sit- ting at the ferry-boat restaurant counter. ““Kerry-Patch”’ Wilson did not distinguish himself by his handling of Celebrant, but then he is only a novice, and as long as he was try- ing, mistakes can be excused. ‘‘Kerry-Patch" redeemed himself later by landing the handi- cap with Dainty. Tom Ryan should send Sweet Tooth to a den- tist. There must be a cavity that requires some attention, —_————— Cruiser Atlanta Is Ordered to Hayti.

The expert riflemen of the Seventh and Nineteenth regiments of infantry who won honors at the national army shoot at Fort Sheridan last August and in the recent department contest were public- ly decorated with medals by Major Gen- eral Hughes at the Presidio yesterday aft. ernoon. The event tock place on the drill grounds just at the entrance to the res- ervation. More than 2000 troops and hun- dreds of civilians were in attendance. The ceremony was conducted with full mili- tary splendor and impressiveness. At the call of the bugles the Seventh Infantry, fully officered and in command of Colonel Coolidge, marched to thé mid- dle of the parade grounds from the south- ern entrance. A few moments later the Nineteenth, Colonel Rice in command, ap- peared at the northern end of the campus, The regiments marched toward each oth- er, halting and facing to the east when about fifty paces apart. The comméanding general's pennant was planted at the ex- treme eastern edge of the drill grounds and he himself soon alighted from a car- riage and took his stand before the mo- tionless troops. The two colonels, after saluting their superior officer, made a “right about” and sent their sonorous commands echoing down the lines to left and right. As one man the troops raised their rifles to a “present” in honor of the presence of the department commander and again as uni formly grounded their arms. The bands struck up martfal airs and the marksmen, who had taken position in the interval between the two regiments, were ordered to the front. Past the enlisted men, the company offi- cers, the adjutant and the regimental commanders, the experts, six in number, marched to a voint a few paces In front of General Hughes. He spoke briefly in a congratulatory vein and pinned a medal on the breast of each. Then, with an “about face,” they marched from the campus. The bugles blew again, thé bands played, the offi- cers and men saluted their white-haired chief in turn, and then all marched off the field and to their quarters in military order. The enlisted men who were so honored for their skill with the rifle were Corporal Van Scotke, Company F, Seventh Infan- try; Sergeant Shafer, Company M, Sev- enth Infantry; Sergeant Willls Company L, Seventh Infantry: Sergeant Englehart, Company D, Seventh Infantry; Sergeant Telmas, Company M, Nineteenth Infan- try, and Sergeant Jacobs, Company FH, Nineteenth Infantry.
