Stern, manager of the A B C livery, by whom Nelson was employed, had accepted $58 from Nelson's friends to save him from prosecu- {tion on a former occasion and had promised not to prosecute the present case If the $51 embezzled was returned to him, was verified when the case was called before Judge Dunne yesterday. The attorney representing Nelson said that his client was willing to plead guilty to misdemeanor embezzlement and Assist- ant Attorney Greaney did not offer any opposition. The Judge accepted the plea and Neson was ordered to appear for sentence Friday. Nelson, on January 13 last, reported to the police that he had been held up at Bay and Webster streets and $81 stolen | from him. He later confessed that he | gave the money to Patrick O'Kane, a friend, from whom it was recovered and is now in charge of the property clerk. It will likely be handed to manager Stern after Nelson is sentenced. —_———— | Mascagni’s Last Appearance. The following is the programme for the Verdi monument fund benefit at the Tiv- oli, with Pietro Mascagni conducting, which takes place this evening: Prelude ““Willlam Tell” (Rossini; from “‘William Ratelifr”” (Mascagnh), lude, (b) intermezzo; opera of ia Rus- (Mascagnt); overtuse, “Forea oot Bos: (Verdi); aria from same opera, Signo- riva Puerari; overture, “Nabucco” (Verdl). This will be positively the last appear- ance of the celebrated composer in this country, and there should be a big turn- | out to wish him a pleasant journey, espe- | clally as there will be a brilliant %pro- gramme, and the cause Is a good one, be- ing for the object of crecting a monument in Golden Gate Park to further perpetu- ate the memory of the greatest name in the history of opera. musjc (a) pre- Grand Army Encampment.

Archbishop Mont- gomery was the recipient. of a warm greeting as he came forward ! on the stage of the Catholic Truth Society. The Monsignor Nugent of Liverpool, England, was to have been prominent at the gath- ering, but had been called south and in lieu of his presence sent cordial greet- to the Archbishop. Archbishop Montgomery, after the ap- plause subsided, said that the subject of his discourse would be “What We Read and What We Should Not Read.”” He prefaced his address with an explanation | of what the name of the Catholic Truth | Society implied. It stood for its name— | for truth, and was established throughout the world with the object of dispelling the prejudice that has given the church so much trouble and had been detrimental to it. He took for granted that every man and woman had been taught to read and in this respect they must not forget that they were not created for this world only, but for the world to come. Therefore, he sald, every thought ought to have direct or indirect connection with the future life. BANISHED GOD FROM SCHOOL. The Catholic church, said the Arch- bishop, gave the true idea of man as he is and she alone was consistent in the claim she makes to develop man phy- sically and morally. The Archbishop, in speaking of the school, said that the schoolroom ought to give us true prin- ciples to act upon, should give us a dis- criminating judgment in choosing the good from the bad from the books we read. We had banished God from the schoolroom and what he meant toward us and what we meant toward him, said his Grace. He then alluded to the child's studles, ing that it was overwhelmed WATCH KEARNEY LEAP T DEATH | Two New Witnesses Are Discovered by the Detective. The police have discovered two new and important witnesses In the case of Dan- fel B. Kearney, who jumped from the deck of the ferryboat Berkeley on Jan- uary 23. Detective Ed Wren, who has been placed in charge of the case by Cap- tain Martin, has been working energeti- cally for the last few days. Since the laggard work of the Coroner’s office was insufficient to support a substantial ver- dict, he is now on the trail of the Pow- ell street woman over whom the young salesman took his life. When Wren fin- ishes his investigation it is probable that the Coroner, will set aside his approval of the verdct rendered by the jury last Saturday and cause another inquest to be held. Two men saw Kearney leap to his death from the upper deck of the ferry- | boat and their description of the deed bears out the evidence secured by The Call when the officials seemed totally at sea on the case. These men are George L. Wilcox, a photographer employed at 794 Sutter street and residing at 225 Waller street, and F. J. Snow, a chemist in the Appraiser's bullding. Both men, when furnished with a de- scription of Kearney, are positive that they saw him jump into the bay. They saw him walk to the edge of the deck and take the fatal plunge. His right overcoat pocket bulged out, probably from the weight of the twenty-five pounds of fuse wire he took from the store that he might sink immediately and his death be made certain. When he struck the water he threw his head backward, then went down to rise no more, The police consider it but a question of a short time before some of the obstinate witnesses may be made to reveal the wo- man’s name, and then the causes that led up to the suicide will be made known, ———— For all purposes for which whisky Is used “..sse Moore” will cerve better than any otker.

No man had a higher regard for the press than had he, but he dis- countenanced the publication of the bare, thrilling news of crime as being nicious, a danger to the young 3 e e e S i PEAMITS CHIEF 1000 HI3 DUTY Court Says He Can Make Arrests in Hotel Nymphia. Superior Judge J. C. B. Hebbard refused vesterday to modity the order issued by him last Saturday restraining the Chief of Police from maintaining a blockade in front of the premises at 733 Pacific street, issued on complaint of John Donohue, les- see of the place, which is better known as the Hotel Nymphia. He gave as his reason for refusing to comply with the re- quest to modify the order that it was never intended that it should prevent Chief of Police. Wittman from making ar- rests in the place, but merely to put a stop to the maintenance of a blockade, pending the trial of the suit for a perma- nent injunction. “You can inform the Chief of Police,” said the Judge to District Attorney Bying- | ton and former Judge Louderback, who appeared on behalf of Wittman, “that he can go ahead and perform his duty.” Judge Hebbard evinced a willingness to hear the case at an earlier date and so informed the attorneys and Thomas F. Barry, who is in the case as legal repre- sentative of Rev. Terrence Caraher. “If you gentlemen will file the necessary petition,” he sald, “I will hear this case early Wednesday morning instead of on the 27th inst., the time set.in the order.” A surprise was furnished to the man- agement and habitues of ~the Hotel Nymphia last evening when Lieutenant Burnett and posse swooped down on the resort and arrested fifteen women in the place. The raid was entirely unexpected, as it was thought the injunction issued by Judge Hebbard would prevent any ac- tion being taken. At 9 o'clock the police, under command of Lieutenant Burnett, entered the resort and placed all of the occupants of rooms under arrest. The patrol wagon was in waiting to convey the women to the City Prison. They were released on $20 cash bail each, which was deposited by John Donchue. —————ee——— FRYER WILL SPEAK.—Professor John Fryer of the University of California will speak at the South Park Settlement to-night on My Summer Trip to Nikko, Japan.”” — therefore, woeful. His Grace blamed that portion of the public which looked for and encouraged with Its patronage that style of journal- {sm and while again pointing out its dan- ger was free to admit that were the de- mand not present this objectionable class of journalism would not exist. The Archbishop then came to the books | of realism, which he called *“the apostles of dirt,”” and instanced the works of Zola as an example. He said he hated to al- lude to the departed author, since he had gone to his account, but had his books gone with him he would not have men- tioned him, an expression said so dryly as to cause a roar of laughter. His Grace scored the works of the Frenchman and deplored that they should be found in the libraries v\hlch were pald for by the peo- ple. Zola had spat in the face of the Catho- lic church, said ¢his Grace, and never missed an opportunity, he said, to hit at the church. The Archbishop, in scathing and eloquent terms, denounced the *ag- | nostic” works of Huxley, Spencer, Dar- win and Tyndall, books which, he sald, destroyed the faith of the reader and were therefore among the class of books to avoid. B | Chester F. Wright, 6 Geary st.. | O'Farrell street, MORGAN'S AGENT ON 5 WAY AERE Financier's Coming Is Regarded as Having Significance. Steamship Syndicate Man- ager May Have Impor- tant Business. One of the most notable of American financiers and steamship magnates, Ber- nard N. Baker of New York, will arrive here Thursday for purposes, so it is re- ported, of a business character, which no one here’seems able, or at least willing, to explain. Mr. Baker, in the Atlantic steamship business, !s as important as Charles M. Schwab is in the iron and steel trade, being right hand bower to J. Plerpont Morgan In all the latter’s gigan- tic_steamship deals. When Mr. Morgan conceived the idea of amalgamating the American, British and | |a few French steamship lines great transatlantic transportation cern, he imposed. upon Mr. Baker greater part of the difficult task, which involves a combination of capital amount- ing to $150,000,000. Just how the big undertaking was car- ried out has already been told in the dis- patches from the East. con- His coming to San Francisco at this | particular time has aroused mo end of curiosity among certain banking Interests here, which have been advised from the East of the expected arrival, and although bankers are not inclined to discuss his visit, they all admit their suspicion that it | carries with it considerablé significance. Although comparatively a young man, Mr. Baker is regarded as a hustling financler who has not only great steamship business, being president -of several companies, but has performed other deeds that have brought his name into close connection with American history. When the Spanish-American war broke out, Mr. Baker, as president of the Atlantic Transport line, gave the United States Government the use of the steamship Missouri free of all cost. It was converted into a hospital ship and operated for nine months, costing the | owner for officers, crew and other ex- penses, $5000 a month. Again, when the British-Boer war started he cabled to the British authorities an offer of the Maine. INTREPID BURGLARS LOOT NO-PERCENTAGE PHARMACY Rifle the Cash ‘leglster and Carry Away a Quantity of Per- fumery. One of the most daring burglaries that has come to the notice of the Po- lice Department for some time occurred at an early hour Sunday morning, when the No-Percentage drug store at 949 Market street was broken into and $25 in cash and a quantity cameras and pharmaceutical preparations carried away by the intrepid crooks. Patrolman Thomas Kinen, while pa- trolling Stevenson street, discovered that the rear door of the No-Percentage | drug store was ajar. an investigation, The officer made with the result that it was found that a cash register had been | rifled of its contents and a large quan- tity of perfumery had been taken from the show cases. An examination of the premises disclosed the fact that an en trance had been effected through a s |light and the criminals had departed | through the rear door wn Stevenson | street. —_—————— Royal Worcester Corsets, style 446, at TSc. upstairs, * iy e i Fight for Supremacy.
