Williams, alias Watson, Dave - Cox, alias Meyers, and Ben Pincus, by Detectives Ryan, Taylor and Coleman, a story has come to light of the victimization ‘of P. Van Loon, pro- prietor of the Franklin Hotel, out of $3100. Van Loon saw visicns of great wealth by playing the races from in- side information furnished by the trio and is now a sadder but wiser man. About January 11 Pincus approached Van Loon at the hotel relative to fur- nishing him with a quantity of pota- toes. During the conversation Pincus incidentally mentioned that he had a friend employed as an operator in the ‘Western Union Telegraph Company, who was financially embarrassed and was desirous of finding some one to play the number of sure things that were ed East. Van Loon thought favorably of the proposition and an appointment wasg made for the follow- | | ing day. Pincus met Van Loon and took him ' to the office of the Western Union Tele- graph Company at the corner of Pine and Montgomery streets. They started to go upstairs, when Cox, the pseudo telegrapher, who was masquerading under the name of Meyers, made his appearance. He warned Pincus not to visit him in the building, as it would cause his embloyers to become sus- picious. At this juncture made his appearance, and wa: duced as Barney Schreiber’s right-hand man. It was decided to bet on a race the following day and Van Loon gave Pincus $20. . FIRST BET WINS. Pincus called on Van Loon on Jan- uary 12 and gave him $80 as his win- nings on the race. He also imparted the information to allay all suspicions that they were going to make another bet, which would be a losing one, and Van Loon gave up $75 as his share. Pincus then made a proposition to place $500 on a horse if the hotel man would bet $1500. The money was to be placed with a poolrcom near the Cali- fornia Hotel, but Van Loon objected. and Pincus did not press him. On the following day Van Loon, upon the rep- resentations of Pincus, bet $250 and ‘Williams lost. Several days later Van Loon was told that Hen Ach would be a cinch and accordingly gave Watson $600 to bet and placed $700 himself. The horse ran second and Van Loon was out $1300. About/ this time Meyers, who seemed to have made an impression on -the proprietor of the hostelry, borrowed $250. Unsuspicious of being fleeced when, on January 21, Pincus imparted the in- | formation that he had a sure winner, Van on readily agreed to put up $1300. Silurian was the “hot thing” that was scheduled to run away from the field, but for some reason did not | come within the money. DISCOVERY TOO LATE. Van Loon at last tumbled to the fact that he was the victim of an unscru- pulous gang of bunko men and reported the matter to Captain Martin. The de- tectives were put upon the case and the arrest followed. All of the bets made were placed in a supposed pool- room at the corner of O'Farrell and Powell streets. Van Loon states that he put his money in the hands of some fellow who made an entry in a book, but did not give a voucher and that Pincus and his partners did likewise. The police are now searching for this man, as there is little doubt that he was one of the gang. The arrest took place in a rcom at the corner of Geary and Powell streets, rented by Van Loon. A telephone had been installed so that he could make inquiries about the horses without any of the trio com- ing tg the hotel. Cox claims to be an owner of several | race horses. Williams malintains that Barney Schreiber couldpn’t get along without him sand Pincus is known to the police of this city and Seattle. —_————————— Articles incorporating ind Warchouse Company ohiect “of the corporation is to conduet a general lumber, hay, grain, mill and hard- Ware businese at Mountain View.

There is nothing in the dispatches published this morning to show that the statement of the Daily Graphic is anything more than “intelligent antici- pation.” The dispatch from St. Peters- burg concerning the meeting of “the | council of state is the latest St. Peters- | burg news to reach London. The Daily Mail and the. Daily Tele- graph both report in their St. Peters- burg dispatches the possibility of fur- ther negotintions, the Telegraph saying that the culmination of the crisis is not expected. before the beginning of March, and reporting a sudden rise on the St. Petersburg Bourse. In a dispatch from Tokio the corre- spondent of the Times gives the finan- cial programme of the Government as follows: “First, a domestic loan of 100,000,000 ven ($50,000,000); second, the Govern- ment to draft into the treasury the local land tax, amounting to 25,000,000 yen: third. an increase of other taxes to vield 15,000,600 yen; fourth, suspension of public works and administrative re- trenchments, amounting to 40,000,000 yen. “The total of "1,000,000 yen a year ob- tained by these last three measures will be devoted to the securing of war loans.” —_—— KOREAN RIOTS SPREADING. Provincials, Officers and Funds Cap- tured by Marauders. Special Cablegram to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. SEOUL, Jan. 28.—The internal dis- turbance is spreading. It is the re- sult of increased taxation. The Gov- ernors of three provinces report that their officers have been captured by organized bands and Government funds taken. I am unable to obtain cable com- munication with Viadivostok, but am informed by passengers who have ar- Iriven at Gensan from Vladivostok and from other sources that the disturb- ance there on the 9th inst., the Rus- siap Christinas, was created by intoxi- cated Russian marines and Japanese women. Numerous houses were de- stroyed, mostly Japanese, and the Russian theater. The usual fighting occurred. As occurs on such occa- sions there was considerable brutality, but no fatalities. No earnest efforts were made by the officers to control the marines until much property was destroyed. The notification of Korean neutral- ity cabled from Chefu to the powess was unknown in the Korean Foreign Office until replies were received from Korean representatives abroad. The intimation was that i as arranged by Yi Yong Ik and Hyen Sang Kun, the latter having just returned from Russia. The Korean Minister in Tokio was instructed to-day to especially urge Japanese’s immediate recognition of Korea's neutrality. — AWAITS WORD FROM RUSSIA. Should Reply Be Unsatisfactory Tokio | May Declare War. TOKIO, Jan. 28.~It is expected that | the answer of Russia to Japan’s latest I note will reach Tokio not later than next Monday. ia's response is eagerly awaited, ould it prove unsatisfactory to Japan an immediate declaration of war seems unavoidable. The Japanese feel that the entire- responsibility for the outcome rests with Russia. Some doubt is expressed that Russia appreciates the determination and tem- per of the Japanese people, but it seerns incredible that Baron de Rosen has failed to correctly inform the Govern- ment in St. Petersburg of tne situation. TO FRONTIER OF KOREA Japan is busy perfecting a financial programme. The announced plan to issue bonds and increase taxation meels with popular approval, but some ob- Jjections have been made to the pro- posed method of procedure, as well as to the redemption plan. It is expected that the final details will be settled s06D. The Marquis Ito, Matsukata and Gen- eral Yamogata, members of the Im- perial Household Finance Council, had an audience with the Emperor to-day, at which it was decided that the im- perial household would subscribe to the Government's emergency bonds should they be issued. It was unda- cided, however, what amount would be taken. This will make the Emperor a personal subscriber to the oposad bonds. The Government is receiving many offers for the bonds; and it is expected that the issue will be over- subscribed several times. AR it RUSSIAN REPLY DECIDED UPON. ‘Will Be Transmitted to the Tokio Government To-Morrow. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 28.—Rus- sia’s reply to the last Japanese note probably will be dispatched on Satur- day. It is intimated semi-officially that the reply will be couched in pacific terms. A special meeting of the Council of State, under _the presidency of the Grand Duke Alexis, considered the sub- ject for an hour and a half to-day and reached conclusions which will be drafted for submission to the Czar for his final approval. Among those present were Foreign | Minister Lamsdorff, War Minister Kuropatkin, Vice Admiral Avellane, head of the Admiralty Department; Admiral Abazza, executive chief of the committee of the Far East; Sakharoff, chief of the army staff, and :VL Hartwig, chief of the Asiatic divis- on. Grand Puke Alexis will draft the re-| port, which, it is believed, will receive the signatures of the members of the council and be presented to the Czar to-morrow. The nature of the conclusions reached by the council is carefully guarded, but semi-official assurances were given that the subject was considered in a pacific spirit and with a detéerminagion to do all possible to preserve peace and to successfully terminate the negotiations. g N JAPAN'S WAR MOVEMENTS. Russians Learn That Mikado’s Army. Is Being Mobilized. PORT ARTHUR, Jan. 29.—A tele- gram reported to have been sent by the Russian military attache at Tokio was received yesterday. It gave in- formation of the mobilization of the Japanese army and had the effect of renewing preparations for the dis- patch of troops already ordered to the north, but which had been detained on account of the peaceful aspect of affairs. 4 The authorities have invited Rus- sian women to Port Arthur to join the Red Cross.

LOMPOC, Jan. 28.—Professor D. T. | Fowler of Berkeley, assisted by Profes- sor Edward Berwick of Pacific Grove, president of the California Postal Pro- ~“ess League, held three success- ful University of California farmers’ institute meetings here Tuesday. The morning session was devoted to irriga- tion, its advantager and pos: »ilities, a.d the utilizing of the Santa nez River for same. In the afternoon much interest was infused by Professor Fow- ler's address on the “Silo,” its uses and opportunities from an economical standpoint. Professor Berwick also | spoke interestingly on horticulture. The evening meeting was well attend- ied and was devoted principally to farrers’ institutes, their success and accomplishments throughout the State | from a financial point of view. 1 —_—————— !

London Architect in a West End Store for the Sum of $125 IR A romance of the curiosity shop has Jjust come to light in London. Three hundred and fifty years ago Henry 11, King of France, presented a magnificent casket to his favorite, Diana of Poitiers. Passing a West End curio shop re- cently, Mr. Hubbard, a well-known city architect of Gresham street, saw a tarnished casket in the window. He | entered and asked the price, which he was told was £35. Mr. Hubbard took the casket home on approval, and after a day or two wrote, asking the dealer whether he would acespt a check for £25 or have the The dealer accepted the check. On examining bis prize Mr. Hubbard found the intertwined monograms of Hepry II and Diana of Poitiers—two " and an “H"—in ten places, as well as the three interlaced crescents which formed Diana's own crest, while the four corners was the crowned H of the monarch., There is no doubt that the casket is-the one presented bty the King to his favorite. The box, which is about eighteen inches long and nine inches wide, is of wood covered - with beautiful gesso work. It stands on eight silver acorns, and at the corners of the lid and body are elaborate silver ornaments. The | most curious feature is a silver Moorish dome on the top. Experts suggest that | it may be hollow, and that there may be something concealed within it. But Mr. Hubbard has been unable to find any opening.
