Police- men Hurd and Cannon: heard Gavan's cries for help and saw two men run- ning toward Clay street. ' They started | in pursuit and fired four shots Into the air to attract the attention of other officers. They were almost immediate- ly joined by Policemen Evatt, Ogden and Mills. They searched the neigh- borhood, but could find no trace of the two robbers, A few minutes later George Downey, special watchman in . Chinatown, brought to the Central police station | John McCarthy, alias Busch. He caught McCarthy running along Dupont street, between Clay and Washington. Me- Carthy had $9.55, a nickel watch and a memorandum book and papers in his pockets, ' which were identified by Gavan as his property. Gavan also identified McCarthy as one of the two men who robbed him. McCarthy was taken to his room at 432 Jackson street, where Charles Au- bertin sald he had been.staying and keeping company with Aubertin's two sons, Charles and Frank. Frank is waiting his preliminary hearing on a charge of grand larceny for stealing a watch fob from Jesse Garland at Bel- en place on Thursday night, and Charles was not at home. The polce believe that Charles was McCarthy's companion and they afe searching for him. McCarthy was booked at the City Prisor on a charge of-Tobbery, and the | property found on him was booked as evidence against him. Gavan was con- giderably under the influence of liquor, and he was locked up In the City Prison to sober up. ——————— Railroad Vietim Dies. B. E. Ford, the Southern Pacific clerk, who was run down by a San Mateo electric _car at Seventh and Mission streets Friday night, dled yesterday at the Central Emergency Hospital from the injuries received. Ford was cross ing Mission street when the car whirled down upon him before he heard the warning bell. He was taken imme- diately to ‘the hospital, where he was operated upon for a fractured skull. The dead man leaves a wife and fiye ehlldren, who are at present in Omaha. the right hand supports a cross twelve feet high. Archbishop Riordan, after viewing the work of art, declared that the head was magnificent, and that the attitude of the priest could not be im- proved. The pose is that of a preacher administering the benediction, and as one looks upon the features upon which is the unmistakable stamp of religious exaltation, it is not difficult to com- plete the picture of an audience of In- dians listening in rapt attention to the missionary whom they had learned to love, for to Father Junipero belongs the credit of having been the first to spread | the gospel among the red men of Cali- fornia. Dr. Douglas Hyde, the noted Irish ed- ucator, visited the studio of the sculptor while on his recent visit to this city, and on seeing the statue of the famous priest, declared it one of the most beautiful works of art he had ever seen. The cost of the statue, which has al- ready received the approval of Phelan, will be $12,000. It has been suggested that a replica of the statue be erected in the grounds of the national capital in Washington as a mark of recogni- tion of the work of Father Junipero. . Tilden has also completed a model of a statue of the late Senator Stephen M. White, which is to stand in front of the Courthouse at Los Angeles. The statue will be eignt feet in helght, and it will be placed on a pedestal sixteen feet high which has been designed by Ernest Coxhead. The cost of the mon- ument, about $20,000, has been raised by public subscription. The model now stands complete in the studio of the sculptor, and it will be inspected in a few days by former Mayor Bnyder and Joseph Scott of Los Angeles, the chalr- man and secretary of the committee that has been entrusted with the work of erecting the monument to the Cali- fornia statesman. The head of this statue has been pro- nounced-by friends of the late Senator to an almost perfect likeness, and the pose is one White often assumed when delivering an address.

ARETHINGS OF THE PAST Open Gambling on the Races ‘Will Disappear With the Suppression of Abrams’ Place, Declares Langdon SAYS HE WILL NOT ATTEMPT REOPENING Proprietor of Ellis - Street Resort Makes Promise to District ~ Attorney and Gets Off With $100 Fine| —_— Poolroom gambling in this city is appar- ently ended. Yesterday Zick Abrams an- | he had closed his resort at J01 Ellis street and was let off by Judge Shortall with a fine of $100. The cases of fifty of his patrons who were arrested during the raid Friday afternoon were dismissed by consent of District Attorney Langdon. The cases of Harry Wilson and six visit- ors to his poolrooms at Powell and Ellls streets were continued by Judge Cabaniss until next Wednesday; District Attorney Langdon is satisfied that he has stopped poolselling. *“I am sure that if there are any other pool- rooms now being operated on the sly they will close their doors when they see that we are determined to end this evil,” he said. The raided visitors t® the wheel of for- tune game run by Harry Ames were before Judge Mogan. One of'the visitors turned State’s evidence and declared that money, not cigars, was paid to those who achieved the miraculous feat of getting the win- ning numbers. George Webster, a travel- ing man, who was gathered in during the raid on the place, declared that he did not go there with the intention of gambling. He was secing Chinatown, he declared, and wandered into the resort because he saw the crowd going in through the wide- open doors. Several others made the same claim. Judge Mogan continued the case untll March 23. POLICE COMMISSION'S OFFENSE. Concerning the case of. Zick Abrams’ resort District Attorney Langdon said: Abrams came to me and declared that it I would not prosecute the cases against the visit- ors he would promise not to try to ryn the resort again. As our object is not toipersecute anybody, 1 consented to this arrangement. I have only one purpose in view, to close the poolrooms. The war against gambling will continue to be waged.while any of these places .try. to keep open. The crusade is wholesale, not lim- ited. 1 think that the fact that the king of tho pool sellers has decided that he cannot operate bere will have much to do to influence the others. I am confident that before next week there will not be enough business done here to pay the salaries of the clerks needed to run the places. District Attorney Langdon was.asked if the Police Commissioners “In rescinding the resolution prohibiting the use of nickel-in-the-slot machines were gullty of a violation of section 337 of the Penal Code. He declared that in his opinfon they were not. This section reads ad follows: Every State, county, clty and county, town or township officer, or any other person who shall ask for, recefve or collect any money, or other valuable consideration, elther for his own or for the public use, for or with tha un- derstanding that he will ald, exempt or other- wise assist any person from arrest or convic- ton for a viclation of section three|hundred and thirty of the Penal Code, or who shall issue, deliver or cause to be given or delivered to any person or persons any license, permit or privilege giving or pretending to give any authority or right to any person or persons to carry on, conduct, open OF cause to be opened any ganie or games which are forbidden or prohibited by section three hundred and thirty of sald code; and any such officer or officers who shall vote for the passage of any-ordi- nance or by-law giving, granting or pretending to give or grant to any person or persons any authority or privilege to open, carry on and conduct, or cause to be opened, carrled on or conducted any game or games prohibited by section three hundred and thirty of the Penal Code is guilty of a felony. NO PROSECUTION OF BOARD, ! The District Attorney declined to dis- cuss the matter at length, but sald he contemplated no action against the com- mission. s Ly Following are extracts from the minutes of the commission showing the proceed- ings in regard to the slot machines: Resolution adopted July 21, 1902:: Resolved, that the Chief of Police be and is hereby in- structed to notify all persons having permits to sell liguor, granted by this board, that the renwal of ‘their permits. to sell liquor will not be granted unless all of such persons shail have permanently removed from their prem- ises all so-called nickel-In-the-slot machines except counter card machines, Resolution adopted January 26, 1906: Re- solved, that a certaln resolution entitled “Nickel-in-the-slot machines,”” adopted by the Board of Police Commissioners on July 21, 1902, be and s hereby rescinded.

TALBOT IS ALLOWED TEMPORARY SUPPORT. Judge Murasky Decides in Her Favor in Preliminary Skirmish of Suit Against Husband for Permanent Maintenance. wholesome ac- | 58Y8: e WIFB OF A A MONTH BEPARATE MAINTENAN - Mrs. Annie D. Talbot has emerged victorious from the preliminary skir- mish with her husband, Millionaire ‘William H. Talbot, in her action for separate maintenance. Superior Judge Murasky handed own an opinion yes- terday in which he awarded Mrs. Tal- bot the equivalent of $1750 a month pending the hearing of her case in chief, in which she will seek to establish her | charges that her husband's mistreat- ment of ‘her entitles her to permanent maintenance in a home to which he shall have no right of entry. While Mrs. Talbot asked for $2500 a month allmony, $2500 costs and $5000 attorney’s fees, she advanced upon the theory that the order of court would throw the maintenance of herself and children and the expenses of the home and stables in this city and the home in San Mateo, which is her separate property, upon her. Talbot fought strenpously against maintaining the San Mateo property and held that as a mat- ter of fact Mrs. Talbot should be com- pelled to ralse money on her separate property, his attorney, William H. Jor- dan, confessing that he had made a tour of the banks to find out just how much money they would loan Mrs. Talbot in event she should make application therefor. OLD ARRANGEMENT STANDS. But Judge Murasky inferentially holds that there is nothing in the law to compel a wife to incumber her prop- erty to maintain herself pending. the hearing of ‘charges against a husband that may cntitle her to separate main- tenance at his hands and upholds the theory that a wife has a vested inter- ¢t in community property. . But in the pust, holds the court, Mr. Talbot has always maintained his family in keep- ing with his'wealth and directs that he tinue. e ”l::: the personal use of Mrs. Talbot and her children he directs that Mr. Talbot pay $800 a- month; . that he main the stables in. this city, bear 1 {he ek ponses of repairs to the San Fran- isco home and keep up Mrs. Talbot's o ySan Mateo property—obligations that 1'will call for a monthly nditure of about $1750 In addition to this Attorney Samuel M. Shortridge, counsel for Mrs, Talbot, is allowed $2500 attorney’s fees over and above.the $1500 he has already received, and the court announces that an - additional allowance for costs will be made as soon as counsel determines just what expense will attach to the retaining of counsel in New York to take the depositions of Eastern wit- nesses, In his opinion Judge Murasky . EXPENDITURES ARE AMPLE. “The evidence shows that f penditures made by the defendant in ILLIONAIRE LUMBERMAN WHO HAS BEEN AWARDED 3 FOR THE svlz_l;fa‘l‘ OF HERSELF AND CHILDREN PEN for hen were not sufficient; nor is there, in my judgment, any testimony show- ing the need of an increase in these sums pending -the trial of the cause. think that the conditions, so far as con- cerns finanges, under which the partles lived for several years, should be con- tinued until the merits of the contro- versy have been determined; that is to say that the defgndant should make those disbursements in the support of the Redwood-City.property and his San Francisco household which he has made in the past,’and ‘that the sum of $800 a ‘month should “be granted the plaintiff as alimony, pending the action, to be used by her in the manner which under agree- ment between herself and her husband it has been used in the maintenance of the house and the clothing of herself and children. “The sum of $1500 has been paid by plaintift to her attofneys for the ser- vices already rendered, or, at least, ren- ! dered to the making of this motion. For future services I think the sum of $2500 reasonable. If the employment of - sary an allowanee for such purposes will be considered upon a showing of the necessity. “When an estimate as to the cost of rocuring and taking testimony Is fur- ished an award for costs will be made.” Attorney Shortrid, will furnish this estimate for costs next week, at which to in the opinion. ——————— Seek to Fnd Monnler Case.
