North Beach Robberies Point to Con- vict’s Presence. Three hold-ups have occurred within the Jast week on the North Beach dis trict and the police department is con- siderably exercised over them, believing that there is a possibility that the per- petrators are ‘“Red Shirt” Gordon, one of the escaped Folsom convicts, and a companion with whom he has sought refuge in this city. The last robbery occurred Saturday night, when Alonzo Trueworthy, proprie- tor of the Palace Baths at 715 Filbert street, was halted by two men armed with revolvers on Leavenworth street Union and $3% and a valuable gold ch were taken from him. Trueworthy had been at the Daths making up his counts and starfed for his home at een street about 11 o'clock. As he lted by, a command to hold up his ds and found himself facing a brace of revolvers in the hands of two men. One of them kept him covered while the other searched him. When they had fin- ished they ordered him to proceed and not to look back under penalty of death. After he had gone half a block he turned, but the robbers had disappeared. The following day he reported the matter to Captain of Detectives Martin, One of the other hold-ups occurred Wednesday night at Lombard and Stock- ton streets and the victim was relieved of several dollars in money and a watch. The following night another man was bed at Montgomery avenue and Broad- Both of these latter hold-ups were committed by two men apd the descrip- tion given by their victims tallles with that furnished of his assailants by True- worthy. One is said to be a large, heavy- set man with a slouch hat, with a hag- gard face and close-cropped hair. The other is said to be smaller, wearing a derby hat and a small dark mustache and who looks like an opium fiend. After the second robbery was reported Captain Martin concluded that the per- petrators might have been Gordon and some companion and accordingly the three watches of patrolmen were notified to keep a sharp outlook for men answer- ing the descriptions given. Since the robbery of Trueworthy extra precautions have been taken and four detectives are engaged in endeavoring to apprehend the feotpads. It appears altogether likely that Gorden has sought refuge in this city, which would prove his best hiding place if he managed to reach here in safety. If he be concealed here, it is likely that his desire for opium would stimulate him to the commission of just such crimes as these to obtain monev for the purchase of the drug. this) oxen and the unclad cortege was soon | The | convicts have | Devils Slide | e | into Leavenworth street he was | 'OLYMPIC CLUB'WILL GIVE CONCERT ‘ FOR VETERAN ENTERTAINMENT FUND Trains From All Parts of the.

TO MAKE VETERANS HAPPY. Throughout the bay cities there is the stir of preparation and everywhere com- mittees of citizens and coteries of the | G. A.

Sacramento Sheriff Unable to Locate Fahey or Miller. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 10.—Quiet per- vades the offices of the Sheriff and Chiet of Police to-night and the escaped con- victs seemed farther away than ever. Sheriff Reese sald to The Call correspond- ent to-night that he could see nothing to do but awalt developments. The Sheriff has personally engaged in the hunt for the past two weeks, having relaxed only one day from the arduous task. He said he had placed much faith in the story which reached him last night that two of the convicts, Fahey and Davls, had been seen at Sailor Bar, above Fair Oaks, but the most vigorous search had failed to locate the suspects. Sheriff Reese said that merely beating the brush will not locate the men, for, as he expressed fit, there is enough brush within a mile of Sacramento to shelter all the convicts in the State. Word was received to-night of a visit to Meister's dairy, near the road leading to the American River bridge, of two suspects, who had called for milk and then appeared to be walting for an outgoing train. Deputies Sheriff Edward Reese, Wittenbrock and Detective Fisher— the latter detalled by Chief of Police Sul- livan—went out in search of these sus- pects, but up to a late hour to-night they had not discovered them. The Sheriff and Deputy Jack Winters wil. take Convict Roberts to Folsom prison to-morrow. Roberts, beyond - ex- pressing himself as well satisfied with the record he has made, has little to say, and pompously disclalms his intention to confide in newspaper reporters. v e 2 2 2 e e o 7 Sonarp FowwarpRosy ORAEM2 o LADES FIHE G AP i Fodion Pht. 4 o DISTINGUISHED WOMEN WHO WILL BE PROMINENT AT COMING ENCAMPME * * 3 New Montgomery street.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—Believing that convict Howard had made his way to this ¢fty after the capture at Davis- ville of his partner Roberts, every train and electric car which has left this city since yesterday morning has been searched by officers. This activity by the police and detectives was caused by a report made to them by a citizen who stated that while he was in a pool room two men entered an adjoining comparf- ment. He heard them talking about some fugitive and one said the man about whom they were talking had just reached Los Angeles in a box car after two days’ travel without food or water. They in- dicated by their conversation that they intended to get the man to some can- yon on the first car which left the clty that morning, saying that once in the canyon he could be safely hidden until means could be found of getting him out of the country. They did not men- tlon the name of the fugitive and soon left the place. The man who had overheard the con- versation reported the matter to the police and all freight yards and cars were searched by officers and all trains watched. One or two suspects were taken into custody, but no known fugitive from Jjustice was captured. The police are still closely watching all incoming trains and all camps of hoboes are visited several times daily by plain clothes men. ———— Many a 10-cent dog has been stolen for its $10 collar.

The officlals of the passenger and oper- | ating departments of the Southern Pa- cific and Santa Fe companies are l.urry- | ing to completion the arrangements for handling the westward-bound Grand | Army Encampment traffic. The burden of this task falls upon the Southern Pacific officials, for the majority of the visitors from the East are coming by way of the Central Pacific line and its tributaries, mainly the Rio Grande system. - So far the Southern Pacific has been-ad- vised of the coming of about seventy-five special trains, of -which forty-four will be turned over to the company by the Rio Grande system at Ogden. About sixteen | trains will come through under the super- vision of the Union Pacific and the others will come by way of the Sunset route or be turned over by the Santa Fe road at some voint near Los Angeles. In fact the latter road will not have many through specials, the majority of its Grand Army traffic being booked on the western trip to San Francisco by way of Los Angeles. It is with considerable effort that the passengec department of the Southern Pacific is gaining correct information re- garding the west-bound trains. In fact the only direct information that it has as vet received is concerning the trains com- ing by way of the Denver and Rio Grande | road. According to the reports made by | that company the greater number of its | special trains will be delivered to the | Southern Pacific Company at Ogden on | August 12, 13, 14 and 15, and will be hur- ried along as fast as possible, arriving in this city on the 14th, 15, 16th and 17th. A number of the excursion parties have ar- ranged to stop over in Salt Lake long enough to see the sights of the Mormon city, dnd this will delay their arrival here. According to the schedule of the Rio Grande system the trains to be handled over its lines will arrive in San Francisco on the days given below, about thirty-six hours after arriving in Ogden: Wednesday (to-morrow)-—Columbus party, 2 cars, 4:25 . m.

The trains coming by way of the Rlo Grande system: include about 130 carloads or about 5000 persons. Thousands will of course come on the regular trains and no efforts will be made by the raliroad company to keep track of them, this duty being left to the local Grand Army committee of re- ception.

HUMBERT TRIAL ATTRACTS MANY Madame Therese Creates | Several Scenes in Courtrocm | Once More Declares Ability | to Produce Missing ! Crawlords. | PARIS, Aug. 10~~The Humbert trial to- | day drew another large crowd to the Palais de Justice. Madame Therese Humbert continued to dominate the pro- ceedings and ereated several scenes when the court attempted to examine the members of the family. M. Bonnet, the presiding Judge, insisted on examining Frederic Humbert, her husband, but Madame Therese, rising, said: “I1 de- mand to be heard. 1 am strong to-day and will explain where the millionaires are.” The Judge, however, proceeded with the examination of the other defendants, despite M. Humbert's constant interrup- tions. During Judge Bonnet's searching interrogation of her husband, Madame Therese dramatically exclaimed: ‘Mon- sier le President: You are clearly show- ing by your manner that you are against us. You should disguise your feelings and try to appear impartial. The spectators were greatly amused at this outburst. The Judge ordered Ma- dame Humbert to be silent, but she again shouted: “You are continually showing your prejudice.’ FREDERIC TESTIFIES. Frederic Humbert testified lengthily re- garding the affairs of the Rente Viaegr the insurance concern which the Hum- berts started and In the crash of which thousands of poor people lost all their savings. He maintained that the opera- tions were conducted In good faith and clalmed that public prejudice aroused against the Humbert family brought about the failure of the concern. He de- nied the Judge's statement that the rooms in the palatial residence of the Humberts in the Avenue de la e Atmes were connected by a Madame Therese here also -exclaimed: “Lies; more lies.” Fred- eric Humbert sald he had devoted most of his time to art and poetry, leaving the entire financial operations to his wife. The examination of Romaine d'Aurig- | nac, Madame Humbert's brother, brought out nothing new. Romaine d’Aurignac testified that Ma- dame Therese commissioned him to tra the whereabouts of the Crawford broth- ers. Once, he saild, when Crawford vis- ited his residence he followed him to the Grand Hotel de Louvre and located the room occupied by Robert and Henry Crawford. The former was sick in bed and refused to get up, but Henry came to the door and after a brief conversa- tion accepted coples of some legal paper: The Judge sought to bring out that Ro- maine himself impersonated the Craw- fords and instituted suits in their name. The defendant denied ever impersonating the Crawfords or writing the letters signed by the Crawfords. WILL FIND CRAWFORDS. Madame Humbert here made another declamatory statement, protesting her complete innocence. She said: 1 have tried to £..1 the Crawfords and their millions. I have not succeeded in finding the money, but I have found the Crawfords. They have made a_terrible revelation to me. 1 have told Maitre Labori all. He knows the real name of the Crawfords, for they do not call themselves by the name of Crawford. No one will suffer any loss. 1 will pay every one. Perhaps the Crawfords may not appear, but Shey exist. It is only their name that does not exist. The Judge, interrupting her, asked: “Then where are the Crawfords?”’ Ma- dame Humbert replied: i If the Crawfords dc not come here I will give their name and that will suffice. T have already told Maitrd Labor| that when the wit- nesses—have been hedrd and the hearing is concluded I will tell all. 3 There was a profound silence in the court room during Madame Humbert's | declaration, but her final words again, putting off the promised dlsclosures aroused derisive laughter.. When the! court Intimated that the statement was | vague, Maitre Labori answered. “But Madame Humbert engages herself | to speak at the close of the hearing.” The court then began the examination of the ninety witnesses called, outside the family, which will occupy many days. Madame Therese's declaration that the Crawfords actually exist under another name is generally regarded as only an- other of her ruses to gain time. —_———— PROFESSCR LANGLEY MOVES | FORCE TO CLIFTON BEACH Would Conduct His Flying Machine Experiments Where Reporters | Cannot Reach Him. | WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Driven from | his quarters ~at the Quantico Club at Widewater, Va., by the ecriticisms of | Truxtun Beale and other members of the club, and taking exceptions to jghat they declared was his monopoly ofthe club- house, Professor Langley of airship fame has directed his chief assistant, Manly, in | charge of the flying machine experiments | and the force under his command to move | to Clifton Beach, eight miles below Wide. water. to get out of the reach of reporters and conduct his experiments in absolute se- crecy.

SAN RAFAE Aug. 10.—State Prison Directors Wilkins and Felton appeared before the Marin County Board of Super- visors this afferncon and asked that the county road betweea San Rafael and San Quentin, known as the “Hill Road,” be abandoned as a public highway and made a private road. - Director Felton, addressing the board, ill not only insure the resi- dents of Marin County from an outbreak of the convicts, but will also materially assist us in venting ex-convicts and others from ‘planting’ oplum where trus- ties can smuggle it inside the walls. We have plaps whereby it will be practically impossible for any convic( to escape from San Quentin and if we get the road asked for our guards will have far greater juris- dictlon and can stop the smuggling of contraband goods. We will build another road for the county leading to San Quen- tin, but on a more circuitous route. Our plans, when consummated, will make San Quentin one of the finest penal institu- tions in Amerfca. Folsom at the present time is no more than a hotel or pienic grounds, and is practically unprotected, but our ptans will also render that place a prison to be admired and not ridiculed as it is to-day.” Director Wilkins to-nigkt, in speaking | of the concession asked for to-day, sald: “Our board has plans for a great many changes in San Quentin. In order to carry out ,our plans we will try to get a large appropriation from the next Lej One of the greatest changes inside the walls will be the demolition of the large brick building formerly usci as a furni- ture factory. We will erect in its stead & lorge number of cells. More watch tow- ers will be built and the scope of terri- tory for the guards to cover will be in- creased. We have had a great deal of trouble with ‘Hill Road.’ Ex-convicts and others unknown have been continu- ally using that road as a means of smug- gling contraband goods into the prison. We have found opium in large quantities burfed alongside the road as well re- volvers and dynamite at different times. Our guards, as it now stands, cannot stop this cacheing. as they cannot molest people on the public highway.” The Board of Supervisors Rave signified their intention of investigating the mate ter. —_————————— Prisoner Will Not Be Molested.
