Expert Toung of the Hassell: Audit Companx informed Mayor Schmitz yes- terday that if his discoveries of the pecu- lations of fees in the probate department continue at the present ratio the aggre- gate sum stolen from the city will amount to between $20,000 and $25,000, and may reach a much higher figure. Young says the investigation covers a period begin- ning March 28,-1805, and runs for two years, leaving the records of cight years Young says that up to the present time V. F. Northrup, ex-probate clerk, has misappropriated in round figures $2260. Young has written about 50 letters to attorneys of various estates asking what amounts they have paid in for fees. More than $4000 additional of such pay-| ments, which appear in the re due, but not credited on the c: are to be accounted for and will swell the defalcation. APPROPRIATES FEES. On December 3, 1398, Young says North- rYp pocketed $14110 he collected as fees | fn the Joseph P. Hale estate and on April 1, 1899, he misappropriated,’$116 from fees paid in the estate of Elizabeth C. Peltret. WANTS TO CURB PLUMBERS WILL ADVERTISEMENTS. Y0UNG ROBBERS pROBABLY AchEFl House Furnishing Judge Lawlor Believes Temporizing Must Cease. A Sends Arthur McGee and William McCarthy to San Quentin. Arthur McGee and Willlam McCarthy ‘were sentenced yesterday by Judge Law- lor, the former to serve seven years in San Quentin and the latter flve years. They were charged with having robbed Benjamin Farber, a peddler, on the San Bruno road on the afternoon of April 6, but the jury found them gullty of grand larceny. + ‘When the case was called for judgment on July 11, a strong plea was made to have the sentence suspended. At that time the Judge declared that the pre- ‘valence of robberies committed by young men born and raised in the community made it the plain duty of the court not to temporize with offenders of this class. He intended at that time to give them the limit—ten years each. A further appeal was made yesterday by counsel for the defendants, which was supported by the Assistant District At- torney. The Judge sald in reply that cases of youthful offenders cast a grave re- sponsibility on the court and the records ‘would show that it had been his custom to grant concessions to young criminals. He was always loth to send youths to the penitentiaries, but preferred to let them go on probation. e courts, how- ever, owed a duty to the public and must see that the law was vindicated. This was a serlous crime and many similar crimes had of late been committed by young men born and reared in this city, as the imported thugs had been driven out of the community by the police. Addressing the youthful prisoners the with you and at the same time satisfy my conscience. Your fufure will depend upon yourselves. If your conduct is satisfac- tory in the penitentiary and you make application for parole I will not oppose it, but would rather be inclined to further your interests in that regard.” ————— Skull May Be Fractured. Richard Powers, a painter living at 3¢ Hawthorne street, was found lying on the sldewalk at Second and Howard streets on Friday night by Policeman G. K. Small. There was an ugly wound in the back of his head.

At the regular meeting of the Master Plumbers’ Association on Friday evening, August 17, that body rejected the demands of the journeymen, but appointed a com- mittee of eleven members to meet a like committee of the journeymen for confer- ence. A meeting of the two representative committees was held last Monday and the question was discussed. After some de- bate the Master Plumbers’ Assoclation agreed to grant the advance in wages, providing the new scale should not go into effect until January 1, their reasons for setting that date being that a num- ber of \large contracts for the year had already been made and'a delay of six months would be necessary, so that con- tractors may be protected. The journeymen have not accepted the offer made by the Master Plumbers’ As- soclation, but suggest as a compromise that the new scale of wages go into effect September 15. It is generally understood that a sate isfactory agreement will be reached at the next meeting of the committees. ———— Why All Sales Do Not Meet With Success. There are many merchants who make themselves believe if they advertise a sale the public will come with a rush. The public, as a rule, respond, but if they don’t find the bargains offered they soon give such places the cold shoulder. Lately there have been all kinds of sales, but most of them fell flat with the exception of Kelly & Liebes’, 120 Kearny street, re- moval sale, which continues to be a great for the reason that this firm gives genuine bargains and does not dis- appoint the public. . e e ey ' Boy Charged With Burglary. Frank White, 18 years of age, was book- ed at the City Prison yesterday on a charge of burglary. He was arrested on Friday by Policeman Earle for entering a house;in course of construction Webster street and stealing a quantity of lead, which he had in a sack. —_————— ) The Government uses Bank Stock paper.

ADVERTISEMENTS. Young also has discovered what he terms a plain_steal of $30 on of Northrup. In making an examination | of the books of the County Clerk, Young found that in the estate of Minnle Wet- zel et al. an item appears upon the reg- ister under date of November 23, 1892, ! showing that the sum of $31 was paid for statutory fees.
