BROS. & CO Open Saturday Night Till 10 o’clock DREAD OF OPIUM GAUSES SUICIDE Futile Efforts Made to Reform James Cadier. 2 James Cadier, alias James E. Powers, who had a charge of burglary pending against him in Judge Lawlor’s court, committed suicide at his mother’s home in Chicago a few days ago because the craving for opium and liquor had made a slave of him. When the Judge was notified yesterday of Cadier's death he ordered the case stricken from the cal- endar. Cadier was jointly accused with Ed- ward Morris and' George A. Williams of baving committed & burglary in the store of P. J. Baumel, 1602 Market street, on the night of March 14. They pleaded gullty when arraigned before Judge Lawlor, but owing to their youth and their previous good character the Judge qecided to apply probationary methods to the case and accordingly suspended judgment. Morris and Willlams were shipped separately on deep water vessels, but Cadier expressed a strong desire to be permitted to return to his mother in Chicago. He had formerly been con- nected with the navy as an appren- tice and he was given a first-class dis- charge as to character and ability. Ow- ing to the faoct that he had been ad- dicted to the use of opium he was, however, disqualified from further ser- vice. He worked in & machine shop for a few months and came to this city, where he became acquainted with Mor- ris and Willlams. Joseph C. Astredo of the Episcopal Cathedral Mission co-operated with the Judge in the efforts to place the de- fendants on probation, and the Judge having expressed a willingness to allow Cadier to return to his mother, Mrs. Sadie Fisher, representing the Peniel Mission of Vallejo, advanced the neces- sary funds to send him home. He was | accredited by the Episcopal Cathedral Mission to the Brotherhood of St. An- drew of Chicago. When he reached Chicago he entered the employment of the Illinois Steel Company and re- mained for three or four weeks. He was in-constant dread that his old liking for opium and drink would get a fresh hold on him and this is the only theory upon which his suicide can be explained. His conduct had been in ev- ery way satisfactory, but he took a dose of morphine about ten days be- fore his death. His life was saved and immediately thereafter he started te drink and entered upon a debauch. At the end of ten days he took another dose of morphine, which proved fatal.

GRODKS REAPING A RICK HARVEST Winter Season of Crime Causes Numerous Complaints. Thieves and burglars are reaping a rich harvest throughout the city, and the police at the Central station receive a large number of reports each day. FEarly yesterday morning the cigar store of M. A. Gunst & Co., at the cor- ner of Bush and Montgomery streets, was broken into and $200 worth of cigars taken. This-is the seventh rob- bery in cigar stores within the last week. The gang of burglars that has been operating on North Beach and who narrowly escaped capturé in the butch- er shop of Thomas M. Millar at 801 Union street entered Oeliger's candy store, at the corner of Powell and Fil- bert streets and secured about $20 from the cash register and the telephone box. . A clever ruse was worked last night in a lodging-house at 311 Grant avenue. A man and a woman called and in- quired for a room. While Miss M. Du- four, the proprietress, was showing the woman a suite on the upper floor the man, who insisted on remaining be- hind in the hallway, entered her apart- ments and took a purse containing about $40. He searched all the bureau drawers, but was unable to find any- thing else of value. ADVERTISEXENTS. Double Green Trading Stamps ON ALL PURCHASES : Fred Nemetz, who rents rooms at 988 Pine street, reported to the police that a stranger had called during the after- noon to look for apartments, and after selecting a room tendered a $20 note in payment, recelving $8 In change. The bill was on the Bank of New Bruns- wick and was a counterfeit. Several other crimes of a similar character are claiming the attention of the detectives. Ah Lee, a Chinese cook employed at 939 Bush street, says he was walking along Pine street with his wife and when on the 900 block two boys about 16 y of age seized the woman and tore jewelry valued at $50 from her hair. After the attack the youthful highwaymen ram into a house in the neighborhood and made their escape. —_————— Said to Be a Chinese Fagan. Ah Tom, a Chinaman, was arrested | last night and his name was placed on the detinue book. Ah Tom, it is al- leged, is a Chinese Fagan and it is claimed has been educating five chil- dren in crime. The little ones are from 8 to 12 years of age. In a room of Ah Tom’s the police found an iron bar and a great knife sharpened to a razor's edge. e Wedding cake boxes, wedding stationery. Ed. ward 8.

Harry B. Barbee, who until recently served as Deputy County Clerk, will in all likelihood be the most important witness against his former employer, and the money lenders will produce their records. After this branch of the scandal is sifted the jury will proceed with further inquiry and take the evi- dence of witnesses whom it may be necessary to subpoena. The firms to whom Mahony is alleged to ' have hypothecated his November warrant are: The Pacific Investment and Loan Company, 1. Franklin & Co., Hawley & Hottage, Bler & Rogensburger and R. B. Aronsohn. District Attorney Bying- ton says that if it be shown that sal- ary demands have been issued for work not actually performed the County Clerk may be indicted for the issuance of fraudulent warrants. In connection with this matter Audi- tor Baehr sald yesterday that he will not audit Mahony’'s demand for No- vember until the five brokers to whom he hypothecated his salary for the same month agree among themselves who ehall receive the money. Baehr was not in his office when Mahony’s de- mand was “held up” by Deputy Wilkin- son on the protest of the five money lenders, but he approves of his subor- dinate’s course. The fact that a half dozen money brokers were hot on the trall of Mahony for having hypothe- cated his warrant to each of them was made public when the expose of his juggling with the salaries of his depu- ties was made. The Auditor, however, could take no action until the request was made for the warrant, when pro- tests were registered by the brokers. Aside from the Mahony matter little of importance was transacted at the meeting of the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon. On complaint of one of the jurymen Herbert Schmitz and Marsden Manson of the Board of Public Works were called to explain the dusty condl- tion of the streets. The Commissioners stated that It was impossible to keep | HALE'S. 1 How many thousandl Christmas Sights. Let the children see this Christ- mas store to-day (and grown folks, too).

SAN QUENTIN, Dec. 4.—Unless Governor Pardee, interferes Warden Tompkins will be compelled to exe- cute a prisonér on next Friday morn- ing whom he believes to be insane. Julius Martinez is the man sentenced to be hanged, but the Warden is thor- oughly convinced that the prisoner is mentally deranged. Martinez has been acting queerly for some time. He .is absolutely de- vold of any feelings and utterly un- concerned as to what is to be his fate within a week. When apprised of the fact that he will soon be taken to the death chamber and subsequently exe- cuted he laughs at the idea of such a thing, proclaiming he will soon be liberated instead of hanged. Mar- tinez belleves he has only been in San Quentin a short time and says he was sent up for sixty-five days. As a mat- ter of fact he has been an inmate of the condemned cell for many months. ‘Warden Tompkins to-day tele- graphed Governor Pardee, informing him of his bellef and asking that he send physiclans to examine Martinez at once. Martinez was sentenced to death from Humboldt County for killing a Constable named Casey. —_——— Dowie’s Creditors Anxious. CHICAGO, Dec. 4—Stronger proof of the fact that all of John Alexander Dowie's creditors are not a unit in the desire to have his estate administered by the bankruptcy court was given this afterncon. Seven creditors, rep- resenting claims of more than $100,000, filed an answer in the United States District Court in whicH they asked Judge Kohlsaat to inquire into the question of Dowie's insolvency at once. They deny that the head of the Zion City corporation is insolvent or that he was in that condition when the bankruptcy proceedings were begun against him, and they also averred that Dowie should not be declared bank- rupt for any such cause as set forth in the original petition. The lawyers who represent these seven creditors declare | that additional claims will be united In ithe contest against the bankruptcy pro- ceedings.
