A storm is raging in the Custom-house | among the brokers for importers of to- | bacco from China.

F. G. Harper, a prominent member of the Young Men's Christian Association. This repacking is done at he expense of the importers, and Harper was given charge of the work, but he sublet it some time ago to Harry Browne, { who in turn sublet it to some one else. | The work is being done Ly four men, and the complaining brokers, Colonel Charles E. Heise, P. W. Bellingall and the fir of Swayne & Hoyt, say that Harper's tobacco is being prepared first and that all the rest have to wait as long as an | ounce of tobacco belongirg to a client of Harper's remains unpacked. They want the Collector to give them a falr aeal by requiring a little of the tobacco of all | importers to be repacked at the same time instead of compelling them to wait until Harper's clients are served. ———— NEWSPAPER MAN JOINS | THE GREAT MAJORITY | Henry Fisher Passes Away Suddenly | From an Attack of Heart Disease, Henry Fisher, formerly a well known | newspaper man of this city, died sudden- | ly Tuesday afternoon at his home at 503 Mason street.

The steamship Hongkong Maru was de- | tained an hour and a half in the stream vesterday because of the absence of a member of the crew in the United States District Court. The member was Tong Tung, a pantryman who shipped at Hongkong for the trip to this city and return to Hongkong. o The steamer was advertised to sail at 1 p. m. yesterday and at 10 a. m. a writ of habeas corpus was obtained from United States District Judge de Haven on deprived of his liberty by the steamship company, he being an American citizen. Tong was taken before United States Court Commissioner Heacock and was represented by O. P. Stldger, who an- nounced that the chief witness, Tong's uncle, had gone back to his residence at Pinole, and he therefore asked for a post- | ponement. On the suggestion of the steamship company’'s representative the Commissioner reported to Judge de Hav- en in favor of the dismissal of the writ, and the remand of the Chinaman to the steamship company, which was done. ——————— VICTIM OF BUNKO MEN SHINES AS DETECTIVE Robert Muscoveen Furnished With ‘Warrant and Causes Arrest of Man Who Robbed Him. Captain Martin of the Detective Depart- ment has a new scheme for capturing bunko men, which promises to increase the efficiency of his branch of the depart- ment. It was first tried yesterday and it worked so well that it will soon become common. The new stunt is to arm the “Rubes” from the country with warrants for the arrest of all bunké men who man- age to skin them, and when the ‘“‘Rube"” happens to meet the bunko man on the street he will promptly call an officer and an arrest will follow. This will give the Detective Department the rest which its members need so badly and at the same time do away with much of the “confi- dence work’ that now goes on unmolest- ed. Captain Martin may determine to try this experiment with all classes of crime, Jeaving the molested party to catch the criminal. It appears that one Robert Muscoveen, a recent arrival from Modesto, ran up against a smooth talker on Tuesday aft- ernoon, and the stranger after a little conversation with Muscoveen worked the oldtime lock game on him, and with the assistance of a confederate obtained $20 from the visitor. Muscoveen complained to the police and Captain Martin furnished him with’ John Doe warrants, instructing him 1f he hap- pened to meet the bunko men on the street to point them out to a police officer and give him the warrants. The plan worked like good machinery and yesterday afternoon Muscoveen spotted George Brown on Market street. He at once notifled Policeman Riordan and the man was booked on a charge of larceny. Muscoveen is still on the trail with the other warrant looking for the confederate. e Marriage Licenses. OAKLAND, April 22—The following marriage licenses were {issued to-day: John B.

The departure of the Dominican monks at Poltiers led to a riot. °'n persons were arrested GOES FAR IN PROTECTING THE SAN JUAN SMUGGLERS Secretary Moody Threatens Island’s Capital With Loss of Coal- ing Station. WASHINGTON, April 22.—Secretary Moody is inclined to believe that the prosecution of the naval officers at San Juan, P. R., who are charged with smug- gling, Is rapidly becoming persecudion, and it is intimated at the department that unless the attitude of the local offi- clals there changes the desirability of San Juan as an important naval station may be impaired. It is even intimated that the naval officers there may be with- drawn. The charges against these officers were investigated, and in accordance with the practice at the Treasury Department the offenders pald double the duty to which the goods brought in were subject. The President and members of the Cabinet de- cided that the officers had amply pald for their indiscretion. Governor Hunt fully appreclates the at- titude of the Government, and is doing what he can to straighten out the mat- ter and relleve the oftficers of further embarrassment. e SN UNITED STATES MINISTER PACIFIES TWO REPUBLICS Leslie Combes Prevents a War Be- tween Guatemala and Salvador.

So far as known no foreign Government as yet has laid claim to this terrritory and to pre- clude the presentation of such claims See- retary Moody has taken steps to have the islands properly charted as the property of the United States after first having every effort made to learn If any Govern- ment has ground for claim to the new islands.

Managers Hold Stormy Ses- sion Before Arriving at Conclusion. Special Dispatch to The Call. UKIAH, April 2.—At a tempestuous | session of the board of managers of the | State asylum to-day the lie was passed and a personal encounter between two of | the managers was narrowly averted. { Dr. E. W. King, medical superintendent | of the finstitution, was acquitted of the charges of accepting a bribe and of sell- ing State property without the knowledge of the board, while Steward E. J. Niles, charged with neglect of duty by Super- intendent King, was allowed to tender his resignation. Niles was granted a va- cation extending to July 1, the date of his retirement, upon the withdrawal of the allegations preferred against him by the superintendent of the asylum. The results of the final session of the board of managers called to investigate the scandal in the Ukiah Asylum were reached by compromise only after a bit- ter controversy.: To such heights did the feellng run that while the board was E. B. Martinelli would have resorted to | blows had not the other members in-| terfered. In a dispute in regard to the wording of the findings of the board Tru-| man called Martinelli a liar and the lat- | ter replied in kind. It was only after vigorous efforts on the | part of their fellow members that a | | truce was arranged between the bellig- | erents. After four hours’' debate a final | compromise was effected. Managers Tem- | pleton, Hochheimer and Martinelli agreed to allow Niles to offer his resignation if Managers Truman and Fehneman would | make the dismissal of the charges against | King unanimous. Both Dr. King and| Niles at first refused to listen to this, | but after it was represented to them that the trial of the steward would only create a new store of trouble they agreed. As a last parting dart, Manager Truman sought to introduce the sworn statement of State Senator W. H. Savage, to tie effect that while he w with the Sen- atorial Committee on a visit to the inst tution, Superintendent King Steward Niles for his efficienc offer was objected to and the objection was sustained. The board then granted es a thirty days’ vacation without pay, | dating from April 24. The tacit under- | standing is that it will be renewed at| its expiration until July 1, the day when his resignation takes effect.

CAUSES FEELING IN JAPAN | i Action of Russia in Gathering a Force at Fen Hwang Pro- vokes Criticism. VICTORIA, B. C., April 22.—A review | of the Japanese papers received in the mails to-day shows that much feeling | prevails in Japan regarding the report that Russia is concentrating a force of | 20,000 troops at Fen Hwang. Many of the Japanese papers regard this as a move- ment against Japan.

MOORISH AEBELS 'RODSEVELT BOYS |TRAVELS ON SKIS ROW IN ASYLUM CHARGE FRAUD IN REALTY SALE San Franciscans Ciaim That Their Agent Duped Them. Henry J. Crccker and Others Bring Suit Against Los Angeles Dealer. ——e Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 2.—-William M. | Garland of this city was made defendant to-day in a damage suit in which $50,000 is demanded and in which allegations of gross fraud in a real estate deal are made. The plaintiffs are Henry J. Crocker, Carrie C. Green, Lizzie C. Van Fleet, Fannie C. McCreary and Julia Buckbee, all of San Francisco. The suit is based upon a real estate deal which was consummated in October, 191, when Garland, acting as agent for the plain- tiffs, sold a plece of property at Sixth and Main streets in this city for $25,000. It is alleged in the complaint that the property was worth $#0,000 and that at the present time by reason of the ad- vance in values it is worth $75,000; that Garland represented to them that he could secure only the price for which the property was sold, that It was worth no more and that they, having no oppor- tunity to know the values of Los Ange- les realty, trusted him and thereby were deprived of the real value of the prop- erty. It is further alleged that the sale which was made by Garland to W. H. Schweppe, was really but one step In a deal by which he secured the property for himself; that the purchaser trans- ferred the property to Garland's father- in-law, M. L. Hinman, who again deeded it to Schweppe and subsequeptly it was sold to E. T. Earl at a greatly advanced price. This. the plaintiffs say, was fraud and they therefore demand 350,000 dam- ages. The suit was anticipated by Garland, for immediately it had been filed he flled a formal answer to the complaint. Garland admits having acted as agent for the complainants, but denies nearly all their other allegations except those which are a recital of the records of the sale of the property. He claims that the sale to his father-in-law was a bona fide transaction and that the plaintiffs have been standing around with this suit waiting to let the property increase in value as much as possible before claiming damages. Garland further says that the plaintiffs ordered him to report every offer he had for the propety and they decided the mat- ter. He claims that they knew themselves the value of the property and sent speetal agents to Los Angeles to make independ- ent investigations and thus were kept ac- | curately informed regarding the value of the real estate. He claims that they never passed upon the offers reported without consulting their special agents. He says also that to the best of his recollection he never told them that he could not get more than 325,000 for the property. He says, though, if he had told them it would have been true. They flever expressed any dissatisfaction, he says, until five days ago, when an agent for the plain called on him with the complaint and said the plaintiffs would give him until 10 o’clock the next morning to make up his mind what to do. He admits that the plaintiffs’ demand for damages has been “‘promptiy and absoiutely refused.” HOUSE IS SET ON FIRE TO HIDE A BURGLARY Thieves Apply Torch to Los Angeles Residence After Looting It of Valuables.
