POP ULAR CLUBMAN BUYS OUT HARRIS| Hopes to Give Fam a Permaneflt Win- ning Team. Game Will Be Run “on Strictly High Art Scale. The fortusies of the San Francisco base- ball team during the coming season will be guided by John J. Gleason, the popu- lar clubman and well-known man about town, This was decided uppn yesterday afterncon when Gleason p!rrchased the stock’in the team held by Henry Harris. The veteran manager, who has been iden- tified with the game in this city for the | last twenty-three years, goes down and out to make way for a younger, and a more popular man. ‘For several weeks past the iny ot the team has been undecided. agnate { Clunie liked Gleason, but James F. Mor- | 1e¥ of Los Angeles aspired to the posi- tion. Clunie was undecided and at first thought it would be a good plan to have both men on his staff. nounced his intentfon to stick to the south other names were mentioned. After care- fully considering the proposition, Clunie finaily ‘thought the best plan was to take Gleason alone. . Gleason, Harris and Clunie have held several consultations of late. The three met yesterday and talked business for the last time. Harris was anxious to sell. Clunie boosted Gleason along, and when the new manager saw his chance to get the stock he hesitated no longer but closed the deal with Harris, and now all is settled. There is nothing left to do but sign up a flock of stars. That Gleasou will be a capable manager (or the team no ‘one will argue. He is a pépular man 4n this city, a noted athlete and a business man of ability. He was identified with baseball years ago and thére is no reason why he should not make good again. team strictly on a business basls. e: He- believes in giving the fans the best that | money can procure. He inténds to run the game on a high class basis and. in this way hopes to revive interest. “I am.of the opihion that San Fra cisco is a great ball town,” 'said Gleason | last night. intend to give the people the best that money can buy. The team wiil be run on a first-class huslness basis- and if it is not in the running I shall be . sadly disappointed. Mr. Clunle and my- self will leave no stoné unturned to please the fars. When they see the results, I am sure there will be no lack of patronage. “No rowdyism will bé permitted on-or off the field. The men must keep ifycon- dition. 1 am a crank on form myself and I will see that each-player is- in proper | shape at all times. There must be no gambling at Recreation Park. -That is scttled positively. We will endeavor to rush the games through as rapidly as:pos- sible and we are going to arrange:the grounds for the comfort and lhe con- venience of the patrons. “I am on the lookout for good men and will get them if there is any chance. My policy is to give every likely man a show. There aré plenty of good amateurs aroynd this State and many a good player may be developed from their ranks.

May Murphy is only 14 years of age, but she has shown that she is not only a thief, but an ingrate. She was em- ployed as a domestic by Mrs. Adelaide Hacker at 2v21 Oak street and about two months ago Mrs. Hacker notified the police that a diamond sunburst had heen® stolen.from her. The detectives who worked on the case proved to Mrs. Hacker’s satisfaction that the: girl had stolen the sunburst, but Mrs. Hacker refused to discharge or proseeute her. On Thursday Mrs. Hacker and Mrs. Passow, who' lives in the same house, called upon_the postal authorities and complaired that their mail had been tampered with. rs. Passon had a money order for $5 stolen from a let- ter and Mvs. Hacker an order for $20. An investigation was made and it soon developed that the thief was the young girl, who had forged the names of the womeén to the money orders and cashed them. Owing to her youth the postal authorjties declined to take action against her and turned her over to the police yesterday afternoon. She will be taken to the Detention Home so that she may appear before the Juvenile Court. —_———— SAY THEY WERE ROBBED. . OAKLAND, Feb. 2.—Mrs. G.

Through his attorhey, Frank 'A. Costelle, he charges in the complaint that the own- ers of the Despatchi were guilty of violating the child labor law in em- ploying young Mitchell; that they were carele: apd negliggnt in maintain- ing: defective oil tanks and oil burners on hoard the Irespatch, and that they were also careless and negligent in re- fusing to supply the workingmen on board the vessel with electric lights or safety lamps, which could have been | used without danger in- the prelenca of gas. - g 1t _is the lheury of Jamies Mlt“he" the father of the child, that gas wis gencrated from the oil which leaked from defective burners and Adefective tanks, and -that the workingmen on board the vessel ignited this gas by bringing open lights in coatact with it. The complaint alleges that the ex- plosion was so violent and the combus- tion so great that young Mitchel]l was killed, ‘and’ that there was no means by which an inexperienced boy of his age ceuld have detected the dan- ger of the positiog in which he was working. It is further alleged that the owners of the Despatch weil knew the danger that young Mitchell would be subjected to when they employed him at the risky work of boiler scraping. The owners the vessel were cen- sured by the Coromer's jury for vielat- ing the child lahor law; the licenses of Henry Weber, captain of the Despatch, and of James Spencer, chief engineer, were revoked by the inspectors of hulls and boilers, and when the owners of the Despatch questioned the comsti- tutionality of the child labor law, un- der which they are being prosecuted, Judge Cook sustained that statute. - ——————————— SPLENDID PROGRAMME WILL BE GIVEN AT ENTERTAINMENT Lodge No. 2, Knights of the Royul Arch, to Hold Alllr at Native Sons’ San Francisco Lodxe No. 2, Knights of the Royal Arch, will give an enter- tainment and dance on next: llona;y evening at Native Sons’ Hall, street, ‘near Post.
