Hoffman was arrested late Saturday night by Policeman Pearl and bookéd at the City Prison on a charge of felony embezzlement. Some months ago L. Adelsdorfer of the Western Fire Appliance Company, 1918 Market street, obtained a war- rant from Police Judge Fritz for Hoff- man's arrest on a charge of felony embezzliement. Hoffman had been employed as a traveling salesman and ‘was accused of appropriating the com- pany’s money to his own use. He and some friends were in a hilarious mood near the Alcazar Theater last Satur- day night and blocked the sidewalk. Pearl told them to move away and happened to recognize Hoffman, who was quickly placed under arrest. A former Cornell oarsman who re- sides here and continues to take an interest in coll boating suggests a | compromise cotrse wpon which - the ! Berkeley-Stanford race could be de- cided. He saye a two-mile course could be secured in Richardson Bay Tear Sausalito. The start could be at the upper end of the bay and the finish near Sausalito. The water is usually smooth. The North Shore road parallels the course, thus mulhgl it possible to witness the race from | &n observation train.

TENNIS CAMES PROVE EXCITING andicap Doubles Tourna- ment on the Park Courts Interest Many Spectators PR R The handicap doubles tennis tourna- ment played on the Golden Gate Park courts yesterday furnished some close and interesting matches, which were witnessed by many spectators. As a rule, the handicapping was good and one-sided matches were not as numer- ous as usual. Two teams qualified for the semi-finals. They are Harold Ga- briel and Marius Hotchkiss and E. P. Finnegan and J. R. Lewis. By far the closest match of the day was the last one played. The contest- ants were Harold Gabriel and Marius Hotchkiss, the clever academic team, and A. H. Brabant and Robert Drolla. The teams met on even terms and the score proves the handicapper used ex- cellent judgment. Brabant and Drolla won the first set handily, but the next H two were exceedingly close. The latter | went to Hotchkiss and Gabriel. The third set was unusually long. Gabriel and Hotchkiss led at 4-1 and at 6-56 and 40-0, but were not declared winners un- til twenty games had been played. The score was 2-6, 7-5, 12-10. Another match that was almost as close and furnished better tennis was that between Carl Gardner and Mel- ville Long and Charles Foley and Charles Dunlap. The former received “owe” odds of 15, which many thought a too liberal handicap. Foley and Dun- lap, despite the odds, almost won the match. The score was 6-4, 4-6, 8-6. The scores follow: Preliminary _round—Gayness and Morton (scratch) beat McDufty and Otis (3-6), 6-2, 6-8, 6-1; Howell brothers (15) beat Griffin and J. Baker (scratch), 6-%, 6-3; Gardner and M. Long (owe 3-6) beat Dunlap and Foley (owe ), 6-4, 4-6, 8-6; Adams and Lytton (owe 3-6) beat Allan brothers (18), 6-1, 6-3; Mar- tin and Pock (15) beat Miller and Turner (15), 6-4, 7-5. N.

The first indoor tennis matches to be played in connection with the Forest, Fish and Game Association’s show are scheduled for Wednesday night at 8 | o'clock at Mechanics’ Pavilion. Two semi-final matches will be played, one in doubles and the other in singles. The doubles will be first and will be be- tween Harry Rolfe and Herbert Schmidt and George Janes and Herbert Long. In singles the contestants will be Rolfe and Carl Gardner. —_— N VAT 10 THIS CITY Members of Conried Grand Opera Company Leave Kan- sas City on a Special Train it The great Conried Grand Opera Com- pany left Kansas City last night on a special train for this city. The com- pany gave a recital there and met with great success. The company will come direct and arrive on scheduled time. The first installment of the principal | singers to arrive here will reach San | Francisco this evening in the persons of Alois Bergstaller and Anton Van Rooy. These are, respectively, the Par. eifal and the Amfortas of the “Parsi- fal” performances. Bergstaller is the greatest of living German tenors and Van Rooy has never been equaled in the history of German opera as an ex- ponent of the great barytone roles. This will be the first visit of ‘either of these eminent men to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Strine received a telegram yes- terday from Mr. Goerlitz, the general manager of the Conried organization, that will be good news to the prospec- tive attendants of the great Sunday night concert which is announced for the evening of April 9. It will be a great musical occasion, for Rossini's “‘Stabat Mater” will be given for the first time in San Francisco. The mes- sage contained the news that Nordica would sing the great soprano part in the presentation of the work. There will be a grand concert immediately preceding the “Stabat Mater,” which will enlist the services of two of the prima donnas who will have made their ! debutg in this city, and a number of the other important principals of the Conried tion. The sale of the tickets for the Sunday night performance will begin at. the box office of the Grand Opera-house on Wednesday morning and the prices of tickets will range from $1 to $5.

The plans of the Key Route include not only the building of the line along Twenty- second street, but also the establish- ment of general and division offices in the present headquarters at San Pablo avenue and Jones street. The new crosstown line will extend along Twenty-second street from Broadway west and will connect with all the main lines of the Oakland Transit Company. Stations will be erected at Broadway, Telegraph ave- nue, San Pablo avenue and Market street. In order to secure a direct right of way through to Broadway the Key Route Company has purchased from Charles Jurgens the property on Broad- way, which faces Twenty-second street, which ends at Telegraph avenue. The new line will run directly through this property to Broadway. Another transaction which has re- sulted directly from-the plans for the new line is the sale of a lot on San Pablo avenue, near Twenty-second street, to D. J. Hall by C. H. King. It is reported that Mr. Hall has bought more than 8000 feet of property along the right of way of the new line. Since it was established the opera- tions of the Key Route have been in- strumental in the development of sev- eral large tracts of suburban property. Holcomb, Breed & Bancroft report about twenty residences recently com- pleted or in course of construction on Santa Fe tract No. 5, near the Key Route South Berkeley station, and about twenty-five attractive cottages, colonial style houses and flats on Santa Fe tracts Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 7, located close to the Fifty-fifth street station of the Berkeley Key Routs line, now in operation, and also close to the Fifty- fifth street branch Key Route line, now being built. Among San Francisco builders on these Santa Fe tracts are the follow- ing: C_H. Howard and A. C. MacFarlane of San Francisco, on Fifty-first street, near Dover; G. R. Blower of Neville & Co., San Francisco, on Fifty-third street; G. H. Senter of the Oceanic Steamshiup Company, San Francisco, on Fifty-second street; M, J. Carroll, A. W. Mahone, Dr, C. H. Walworth. B C. Burr Jr., E. Allison and Mark A. Thomu:, all of San Franeisco, on Fifty-fourth streci, near Mar- ket.

Tutt s about to erect a num- ber of attractive cottages, and H. M. Turrell has nearly completed two 13-story houses. One of the most imvortant sales of last month was that of the old Kinsell homestead tract at Elmhurst, by J. S. Mpyers of Oakland. The Federal Realty Company of San Francisco will handle the tract in that city. The tract con- tains sixty acres and the purchase price was $1000 an acre. The purchasers will at once begin the work of subdividing the property into building lots. Streets and sidewalks will be completed. Albert 8. Day has made several sales in the last week, among the most im- portant of which were a forty-foot lot on Webster street, near Fourteenth; a lot on Waverly street and a $3000 cot- tage on Havre street. Mr. Day is soon to begin the erection of three new flats. He reports many inquiries for Oakland property, both foreign and local. James 8. Naismith is now established in his new offices at 1056 Washington street, in the new Bacon building. He reported several good sales last week and a steady increase of inquiry for Oakland residence property. Willlam J. Laymance of the Lay- mance Real Estate Company reports a demand for houses for rent. The E. P. Vandercook Company has recently secured contracts for the sale of two elegant residence properties, one of which is located on Merrimac street and the other in Fruitvale. This com- pany is also handling some splendid in- vestment property. A. J. Snyder now has nine new resi- dences in course of construction in the Snyder tract, at Thirty-first and Grove streets. Twenty-five new houses have been erected on this tract in nine months. P. Wilbert of Haywards reports the following sales: Lot 50x200 feet, with improvements, for Emeline V. Hamer to Charles Allen, $6000; two lots, 50x150 feet each, in the Meek tract, for the Meek estate to Emeline V. Hamer, $1000. —_——— JOCKEY OTTO WONDERLY IS KILLED AT MEMPHIS MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 2.—Jockey Otto Wonderly, who was thrown from a horse at the race track yesterday, dled to-night after an operation in a local hospital.

Their insulordination created quite & furor in the college town. But they finally discovered that while the captain insisted upon discipline, he meant it for their best interests. Grad- ually most of the students fell in line with the idea that the course in mili- tary sclence was part of their work. Now even the satirists realize it. Pelican's editorial is as follows: Pellcan thinks It is time to drop a word of advice to the fellows who are supposed It is time for them to get onto themselves—not all of them, but those who in- sist on rough housing during the drill hour.

The seilers of the slips that investors tondiy believe will be the foundation of their fortunes are not unmindful of the honor to be con- ferred upon them, and a great lull in j the placing of bets is noticeable. Men | commissioned to gather evidemce have | been hard at work for some days though, and the members of the in- quisitorial body expect to have sullie important material to work with when they get down to the real labor of in- vestigating the poolsellers. One;of the most important questions before the Grand Jury is who received the money it is declared was con- tributed by the poolsellers and qthers to put a bandage over the eyes of the law? While no names are given, it is apparent into whose hands moaey so raised would be placed to purchase that for which it was Intended. and therefore it is pretty apparent toward whom the Grand Jury is ia its strivings to land those who gave the protection. ’ As In the case of Chung. the China- man accused of passing out the bribe | money to Sergeant Ellis, indictments over this alleged corruption fund will be difficult, as there is no corroborative evidence, all those who know the facts being parties to the collections and re- ceipts. The disclosures on this subject as far as they go, however, have made some people nervous, and they are wondering just how mueh the Grand Jury knows about the collection and payment of the money and how much information will be carried to that body, now that the matter has been opened up. There are many citizens who “remember things” when a cru- sade is commenced, and their con- science troubles them until they unload what they know where 1t will do the most purifying. Facts from sources of this sort are likely to get into the Grand Jury room, to the danger of some who have felt themselves safe. In fact, it looks like more voluntarvy testimony was coming forward each day, some of it valuable, some of it weak, for new tales of corruption seem to come into possession of the Grand Jury constantly. How many citizens who know things are lying around with their consciences troubling them is a question quite interesting just now to a number of office holders. who have not let any alfalfa go unmowed while théy have been serving the public. Another thing that is bothersome to officlals and others who Rave been on easy street is that the presemt Grand Jury doesn't seem to lose enthusiasm. I@o ennul that is usually expected to levelop in such bodies right after the first burst of glory seems to.be de- layed in this case. The jurors ap- parently get more interested the fur- ther they go, and then they- have started on so many propositions that have hung more op less prominently before the public eye that they cannot well stop until they have accomplished something to show that what has gone be’r‘urle is dr::t all smoke. s admitted by members of th Jury that the hope of proving tha: Works Commissioner Maestretti was behind the offer of $1500 to Merrill to leave town and not testify against him is dim, but there has been no cessa- tion of efforts to establish the fact.
