Is Here to | Look After Their Interests| — | David Young of Newark, N. J., rep- resentative of Brown Bros. of New York, who financiered the United Rail- roads In its purchase of the local street railway interests, arrived from the East vesterday and is at the Palace Hotel. The preserfce of Mr. Young in San Francisco gt this particular time is arded as significant, in view of the thr strike of the carmen. In his official capacity he is the adviser atened of the New York, banking firm in all matters pert g to the physical con- | dition of the various interests whi they they control or in which have important holdings. Dur- ing the last trouble between the United Railroads and its men Mr. Young was a visitdr in San Francisco and participated in the conferences of | the management cf the big corporation following each day's meeting between its representatives and those from the | Carme Union. It is understood | among the employes in the offices of | the railway company that Young's sud- | den arrival is in ccnnection with the new troubles, and this theory is borne out the fact that he was in con- ference with General Manager Chap- man and the latter’s assistant for more than an hour after his arrival in the city yesterday. Comcerning the trou- bles between the company and its men | he had little to say, except that he | hoped they would be amicably settled. He also remarked that he was sur- prised that the men had made a move in the direction of trouble before the expiration of the present agreement. The representatives of the Carmen’s Union and the manager of the United Railroads did not meet yesterday, and neither side would make any state- ment, except that there had been no developments. The conference wiil be resumed to-day. From good sources it was learned yesterday afternoon that the manage- ment of the Union-street road has be- | come satisfied that its men are pre- pared to strike if the men employed by the United Railroads decide to go out, and in anticipation of this move the company has followed the example !of the United Railroads in laying in | provisions and other stores gt its car | barns, which would suggest that the | company will oppose the demands of | its employes. | ——e——————— | | Fair Automobilist Arrested. | Miss Elsie McEwin, a member of the younger social set, accompanied | by Max Rosenfeld and several other | friends, while driving an automobile along Market street last evening, | knocked down and ran over James Williams, a boy living at 130% Four- | teenth street.

The assailant was drink- ing and smatting under fancied griev- ances, and the shooting took place in the heat of passion. The shooting occurred in Frank Casement’s house on Valencia street a little after 7 o'clock, when the fam- ily were at dinner. The drunken man rushed into the room and, brandishing his pistol in the air, demanded that the entire family remain seated until he had discovered who it was that robbed him of $20. A few days ago Frank Casement’'s wife met her brother-in-law in a gro- cery on the corner of Twenty-fiftth and Capp streets. She jokingly asked him for some money, and in reply he hand- ed her his pursv. After a little jesting the woman returned the purse, as she says, without having opened it, and left the store. The next day she met William, who was slightly intoxicated. He accused her of having taken a $20 piece out of his purse. The woman stoutly denied having taken the money and felt hurt at the accusation. Casement next accused his wife of having stolen the money, and when she denied her guilt he brooded and was in bad temper until last evening, when the trouble reached a climax that may result in one death. Officer H. N. Powell and Corporal Shanahan, who were passing the house, heard a shot and rushed to the scene of action. They found Frank strug- gling with his brother in an endeavor to take the revolver away from him. The blood that had steadily poured out of the wound just above the heart had considerably weakened the victim, and his chances for living would have been small had it not been for the timely assistance of the officers. The wounded man was immediately conveyed to St. Luke's Hospital, where it was found that the ball had entered the left side of the chest below the col- lar bone and above the heart. Dr. Brady worked for mnearly an hour in an endeavor to locate the bullet, but was unsuccessful. It is feared that the wound will prove fatal. ment to Assistant District Attorney Louis Ward: Under the management o y | B e management of HAITY | .ujem high mass, celebrated by the | My name is Frank Casement.

Blood for Return of | Money Alleged to Have Been 1 Obtained Through Deceit. | Henry J. Blood, president of the Sterling Oil Company, is the defend- | ant in a suit filed yesterday by John! C. Hampton, vice president of the Pa- cific Lumber Company: W. L. B. Mills, | | secretary of that company: W. S.| | Gage, Ida H. Mauvais and Grace A.| Tyson, in which charges of a sensa- | tional nature are made. It is a suit to recover $4600 the plaintiffs allege Blood swindled them out of in a deal in ofl lands in Kern County. According to the complaint the plaintiffs purchased the land in 1900 upon Blood’s representation that it was ‘a valuable piece of realty. The consideration was $11,000, and that sum was paid to J. J. Mack of Ba- | kersfield, the reputed owner of the land. For his share in the transac- tion Blood was given a one-sixth in- terest in the land with the privilege of paying for it at a future date. Last December a demand for the price of the one-sixth interest was made upon Blood, but he denied ever having agreed to pay anything. His re- fusal started investigation, with the result, the plaintiffs say, that they discovered that Mack never was the owner of the property, but was simply | an agent for J. M. Keith and C. S.| Young. The last named, it is alleged, had amn| option on the land, which he trans- ferred for $6400 to Blood, and the lat- ter, by keeping the plaintiffs in ignor- ance of this fact, prevailed upon them to pay $11,000 for the land. —_———— Republican Club Elects.
