Mrs. Power Declares the Invalid Is Blameless. | Young Man Makes It a Prac- tice to Fleece Business Houses. —— J. E. Crothers, who has a faculty of using other people’s names to orders for goods, was booked at the City. Prison yes- terday afternoon by Detectives Ryan and | Taylor on a charge of forgery. He was| taken from the County Jall, where he is waiting his trial in the Superior Court on another charge of forgery. The detectives have been working on the particular case that Crothers was charged with yesterday for three months and now say that they have the evidence to send him to the State penitentlary. On Decem- ber 2, by some means unknown, he secured possession of an order signed by Hanson, shipping clerk for Mack & Co., wholesale druggists, Fremont street, for two boxes of sarsaparilla on the Langley & Michaels | Company. He asked that the two boxes | be sent to a place on Market street, and | when ‘the . clerk and teamster reached there they became suspicious and grabbed | hold of Crothers, who broke away from them and escaped. Crothers rctained possession of the or- der, which was written in pencil, and he altered it to twenty cases of Jesse Moore whisky. He sent S. Somerville, an expresiman, - to- -the warehouse of the Jesse Moore, | Hunt Company, 200 Davis street, and the twenty cases were deliv- ered to Somerville. Somerville telephoned to Crothers, who directed him to take the | lcad to Kennedy & O'Keefe, grocers, 1701 | Edady street, to whom he had sold them. The fraud was discovered and thé* mat-| ter was placed in the hands of the police. | Kennedy and O'Keefe admitted having | purchased the whisky from Crothers, and | a portion of it was recovered by Detee- | Y present troubles with my wife are due to one man. He is-M. C. Power, a carpenter, whom I reprimanded once be- cause he was slow in dging some repair work on my wife's property at Hyde and Sutter streets. He has hated me. ever since and has .ot hesitated to tallk about me in a manner calculated to belittle me in her eyes.” The above statement was made yester- day by, Police Commissioner Harry W. Hutton in response to a question concern- ing his matrimonial - infelicitles, which have. been ‘a_ source of public’ comment during the- last few ‘days, or ever since the news leaked out that Mrs. Hutton had fled from this city to Salt Lake, taking with her. $35,000, received by her as the purchase price of a piece of property at the corner of Hyde and Sutter strects. Hutton makes the charge against a man who has been:bedridden with an incurable disease for' the ‘last ‘two years.. Power is constantly -under the influence of opiates and ‘cannot defend himself, but his wife fs-able to_talk,'and she does so willingly “and. freely, and, with apparent truthfulness, things that do not re- dound to the credit of Hutton, who has for some time posed as an earnest advo- caté of reform in politics and public mor- als generally.

The latter body seemed agreeable to this proposition and it sent a committee to the laundry workers' meeting last night to advocate this action. Pending a result of this conference, tha Laundrymen’'s Association held a meeting in the California Hotel, where twenty-one establishments were represented. They had all previously agreed to stand to- gether, and as a bond of good faith each laundry had posted a forfeit of $500. Shortly after 11 o'clock a message was received from the union stating that the members of the latter had agreed to stand by their demands and would quit work this morning if the employers dia not concede. A lively debate followed and for a time it looked as if a strike would be on this | morning, but when the roll was called n response to a motion to close the laundries, the representatives of four of the biggest concerns in the city answered “no.” It was apparent that the employ- ers had lost and the meeting broke up in the wildest discord.
