He also signed the agreement under protest. “A meeting of the Restaurant Keep- ers’ Association was called on Thurs- day afternoon and it was decided to take a determined stand in opposition to the unions. Another meeting was held yesterday afternoon. On the morning of the meeting the union called out the crew of J. Beftz’s restaurant at 24 Ellis street because Mr. Bertz re- fused to be intimidated into signing the agreement. At the meeting in the aft- ernoon Mr. Bertz received instructions from the association not to sign the agreement and to keep his place closed. It was also decided to send the unions an ultimatum that if the men did not return to work by 10 o’clock Saturday morning all the restaurants would close on Sunday night. Instead of heeding our ultimatum, at 11 o'clock this morning the union called out the crew of the Tivoli Cafe and that place closed its doors. RESTAURANT MEN TO MEET. “At another meeting held this after- noon, the members of the association were instructed to close their places of business Sunday night and not to re- open on Monday morning.” Mr. Johnson says that fully one hun- dred restaurants will close their doors. He believes that restaurant men who are not members of the association will stand by the organization in this fight. There is to be another meeting in Eagles’ Hall, 731 Market street, this afternoon and all restaurant keepers are invited to be present so that they may learn the true facts of the case. eking a divorce | arried in Canada in | na J.

An agreement was recorded yester- day between the San Francisco Ter- minal Railway and Ferry Company and the Western Pacific Rallway Com- pany transferring certain lands, right- of-way, franchises, maps, surveys and other properties owned by the first- named corporation to the Western Pa- @fic Company. The agreement recites that the West- ern Pacific Railway Company is de- sirous.of acquiring all the properties owned by the Ferry Company for the purpose of acquiring certain portions of its lines of railroad and carrying out its corporite purposes and func- tions.

The Ferry Company also agrees to sell all its rolling stock and equipment and all other property, real and per- sonal, to the Western Pacific Company. The consideration mentioned for the transfer is $397,315 75 and 120,000 shares of the capital stock of the Western Pa- cific Company. The agreement is signed by W. R.

Alonzon Tripp, former general super- intendent of ~the Southern Railway, who has been engaged by the Brock syndicate of Philadelphia to build the i new railroad from the Tonopah min- ing district to Rhodes Marsh, is at the Palace Hotel, having come here to pur- chase the necessary material for the construction of the road. Yesterday he confirmed the story published several days ago to the effect that President Harriman of the Southern Pacific Com- pany had agreed to assist the smaller company in the building of the road, and by doing so he had assured its early completion. “We hope to have the road completed by the middle of May,” said Tripp yes- terday, “and will begin operating trains immediately. The distance to be railed is eixty miles and the grade is very light. In fact, our engineers figure that only about 330,000 yards of earth will | have to be moved in the grading of the | entire distance. Our survey has been | completed, and in a few days we will be shipping ties to the scene of opera- tions. My presence in San Francisco is for the purpose of purchasing all the materials for construction of not only the road, but a great portion of the rolling stock. We will buy everything Iln Californfa. In a day or sd bids will | be ‘received for the grading and the isupplies, and the latter will be forward- ed to Nevada as soon as the contracts are awarded. “By necessity we are compelled to bulld a narow gauge track, for the reason that our connections will be with a similar gauged road. At Rhodes Marsh our line will connect with the Carson and Colorado road, and from this line our freight will be carried on to the Virginia and Truckee line, I ex- pect to purchase - several .locomotives in this State and we will build our other rolling stock, the first installment of which will consist of about forty gondola and box cars and possibly two coaches. . 5 “It is estimated that the cost of con- struction ‘wilf be about $500,000. The Southern Pacific Company has given us, everything within its power to aid us in the early completion of the road.” % ting of green made a fitting frame yes- ’terday for the first meet of the season | of the San Mateo County Hunt Drag | Hounds.

There were violets, smi- {lax and pink roses | fences and brooks and also horses and hounds in miniature. An orchestra discoursed sweet music and lent its en- livening influence to the occasion. The arrival of Huntsman Jerry Keat- ing with twelve couples of hounds on the lawn near the clubhouse drew the imerr)‘mnkers to the scene. Hunters | were being led up-and down and there was an air of suppressed excitement among the hunting men and their fair friends. At the word from Mr. Carolan, the hounds were laid on and a rush was made by the onlookers for a vantage point from which to view the first | jJump.. This was into a fleld to the northeast of the clubhouse., The first flight were over clean and ‘then there | was a clatter of hoofs as some horses | struck the top boards. One horse, de- | vold of sporting instinct, refused the | issue entirely. The scent took the hounds down tow- ard the railroad 'track, then to the | west past the Carolan place. It bore ;to the southwest here over the Tevis | property in order to clear the golf links, forbidden territory for the hunt- ing men. The finish was on the George Howard property. The distance was about seven miles. The run was a short one and avoided the foothills, as both hounds and hunters are not in condi- | tion ‘at this early date for severe work. Mr. Carolan rode his favorite hunter, | Merry Boy. Huntsman Keating rode | the Bell mare, while the two “whips,” Fred Johnson and Charles Richardson, were mounted on Spectator and Scar- boro, also from Mr. Carolan’s stable. Mr. Carolan had as guests Mr. Gerry, a son of Commodore Gerry of New York, and a friend who accompanied him to this coast. There were an un- usual number of strangers among the fleld, which included Walter Martin, E. W. Howard and others. One horse was taken to the meet for a lady to %ide, but the fair sportswoman was not in evidence. C. W. Clark has sent East for two hunters and other enthusiasts have or- dered horses. With these and the for- eign polo contingent the season gives promise of affording great sport in this healthful recreation. The springy turf afforded safe and excellent footing for the horses yester- day, making gallopirig a delight to the ‘well mounted hunting-men. ——————— Lincoln Post Election.

Story of Remarkable Theft Is Substantiated by Captures. e With the arrest of W. Chesley street and S. Cooper, a junk dgaler at 1128 Mi street, by Detec- tives Ryan and Taylor and Facific Detective P. Lewin Farber of 27 of Cornoral Lewi lery by the military authorities at the Presidio, the story as published exclu- sively in The Call of a recent date rela- tive to the daring theft of 112,000 feet wire from the United States torpedo station at Goat Island is substantiated in every detail. The magnitude of the theft of which the three men in custody stand accused | e prosecuted | and for which they will b by the Federal authorities is surprising, as sufticient wire to string a single line between this city and San Mateo was carried away in a launch from Goat Isiand under the eyes of those in charge of the station. A peculiar fea- ture attending the investigation of the case by the police was the discovery of another theft of wire from the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company by one of the employes of the depart- ment of electricity of this city, and as a result the name of Philip McSwegan of 350 Fell street appears on the detinue book at the City Prison. DARING THEFT. Chief of Police Wittman received communication yesterday morning ffom Captain W. S. Overton of the Artillery Corps, U. S. A, relative to the loss of a large quantity of wire from Goat Is- land. The captain in his letfer stated that about October 24 he month's sick leave and Electrician Sergeant Henry Simard was left in charge of the torpedo station at Goat Island. Simard had under n Sergeant Hodgman of the Twenty-eighth Com- fere violets, smi_ | pany of Coast Artillery and three pri- vates. On October 28 the launch Brisk, with the name “Joe Kane” painted on her stern, visited the island and took away 60,000, feet of insulated copper wire. Simard at that time told Ser- geant Hodgman that the wire was to be used at the Presidio so as to allay all suspicion. On November 7 the same launch again visited the torpedo sta- tion and 52,000 feet of wire was placed on board. Sergeant®'Simard boarded the boat on that oecasion and has not been seen since. Upon receipt of the communication Detectives Ryan and Taylor were im- mediately detailed on the case, and with the assistance aof Detective Pete Lewin had cleared up the mystery sur- rounding the disposition of the plunder and landed three of the guilty parties behind the bars before 5 o’clock. The officers were highly commended by their superior officers for their clever work. . LOCATE THE WIRE. - Their investigation shows that Cor- poral Lewis, who was also stationed at Goat Island, was sent over to this city | by Simard to negotiate for the sale of the wire. Lewis enlisted the services of Farber, who took a sample of the wire to Cooper. The market value of the wire is 60 cents a pound, but Coop- er would give no more than 10 cents. The wire was turned over to him and he récently sold it to the Great West- ern Foundry, 217 First street. The de- tectives found about 50,000 feet at the latter establishment, and the firm has agreed not to dispose of it pending the final disposition of the case. Cooper and Farber were taken into custody and brought before the mili- tary authorities at the Presidio. Cor- poral Lewis was sent for, but denied all knowledge of the affair. Upon be- ing confronted with Cooper and Farber he broke down and confessed. He stated that the two men in custody knew where the wire was coming from and told him to bring all that he could get. ' From checks found in possession of Cooper and Farber it was ascertained that the Great Western Foundry had pald Cooper $176 50 for the goods and Lewis was paid $153 49 ds his and Sim- ard’s sharé of the proceeds. arrested and placed in the guardhouse. SOLD “DEAD LINES.” While the detectives were in Cooper’s establishment McSwegan, who is em- ployed as a lineman in the department of eleetricity, drove up in a wagon and dispcsed of 400 pounds of copper wire for $39. In view of the fact that Cooper had purchased such a large quantity of stolen Government wire the officers determined to investigate this latter sale. Superintendent Hewitt, the City Electrician, was sent for, but upon an examination declared that the wire was not city property. The superin- tendent of the Mutual Light and Pow- er Company was then called in and stated that the wire was the property of the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company. McSwegan at first denied his guilt, but subsequently admitted that in stringing wires for the city he had come across a considerable num- ber of« déad lines and confiscated them. He is a married man and ow- ing to that fact it is understood that the gas company will not prosecute. Cooper and Farber. will be turned over to the Federal officials for trial. At the time of the exclusive publica- tion by The Call of the fact that Un- cle Sam had been made the victim of a bold ring of thieves, the military authorities absolutely denied all knowledge of the matter, but subse- quent developments have shown the ’ outhern | yesterday | afternoon, and the taking into custody | of the Coast Artil-| went on a | Lewis was | RIDERS FALL UNDER GAN OF STEWARDS California Jockey Club Officials Punish Offenders.

When scandal bobs to the surface it Iooks as if the name of Danny Lynch would not down, whether guilty or innocent. Shortly be- | fore the season opened “Frisco™ Lind, who trained the horses owned by Lynch until both were ruled off the turf in Chicago, purchased a saloon and lodging-house in Emeryville not many blocks from the track. Accord- ing to the evidence produced last night, Hall made his first misstep by engag- ing quarters there. HALL'S BAD RIDE ON BRAGG. M. Z. de Armond holds a contract on | Hall and Barney Schrelber has second | call on his services. “D.” is a capable | rider and soon became popular with | turfgoers. Among other rides charged | up against Hall, the one on Brags, | which ran a disgraceful race, on No- | vember 28, is the worst. On this occa- | sion. it aimed, Davis took great | liberties with the horse. - Hall was carded to pilot Divina in the handicap | yesterday and the officials were early in | receipt of information to the effect that Hall intended to pull the horse. Book- maker Davis took all kinds of wagers on the mare until Martin was substi- tuted for Hall. Then he rubbed out his prices and stood pat. Divina was beat- en, ‘however, notwithstanding the change, owing to poor racing luck, and Davis’ sheets show he won more than $3700 on the race. Much information and facts possessed by the stewards was not divulged. From advices received by the judges at Oakiand Ferrell was down to pull Bay Wonder, from the| stable of his employer, J. F. Newman, which started favorite in a sprint on November 30. DON DOMO IS PULLED. Notwithstanding that Ferrell made a wide turn into the stretch, claiming the three-year-old ran out, Bay Won- der won by a narrow margin from horses he outclassed. In the race won by Cascine on December 2 the judges again had word that Ferrell would not try to win with Don Domo. The “gray streak” ran third. Adkins, was developed by Dell Foun- tain, th! Idaho horseman. Last sum- mer Fountain sold the boy’s contract to Tichenor & Newgass of Chicago agd he was to ride for that firm next season. Fromx information in possession of the stewards, Adkins pulled Rollick | on Tuesday, December 1, when Milton | Jones’ horse was beaten by Father Wentker, ridden by Hall. Rollick was started back the next day, and, with Martin in the saddle, finished first. On the same day he rode John A. Seott contrary to orders, when the chestnut was beaten by Iridius. The stewards have evidence in this case also that he knew what he was doing in disobey- ing stable instructions. The exhibi- tion Adkins furnished on Meehanus December 3 did not help his case. Bookmaker “Jim"” Davis is a mem- ber of the Metropolitan Turf Associa- tion and is considered one of the keen- est pencilers in the business. He Is a Californian and' is well known om tracks throughout the country. —_—————— __Itis a sad retigion that is never strong unless its owner is sick.
