J. DEAN'S WELL-BRED CONNEMARA, WHO WON THE STAKE.
MONEY FLOWED
AT INGLESIDE
Sports Kept the Pool-Sel
lers Busy During
the Day.
Hares and Hounds in Earnest,
and a Happy Crowd
Looked On.
Moondyne, Diana, Tod Sloan and
Connemara Were in Splen
did Form.
The sports were ou* in force yester
day at the Ingleside coursing grounds,
and the manner In which they plunged
was proof positive that they were on
to the twists and turns of the fleet dogs
which started. The day was rather
raw, but as large a crowd as usual was
present. Gaily dressed women lent
color and animation to the scene, and
children mingled with the gathering.
Ed Conlan and Ed Thies have proved
themselves to be second Itiley Gran
nans, with the cxi eption that EUley
was a judge of horses, while the parties
named drew no dividing lin.
betting between hounds, horses or
hares is concerned. Harry Hrennan,
connected with the park, was in evi
dence, and was closely questioned as
to the chances of this and that hound,
and "dipped" correctly with one or two
exceptions.
Louis Metzer, Teddy Osbourne and
Captain F. W. Warren helped to keep
the pool-sellers busy, and Jockey
".Midget" O'Connor, the feather-weight
rider of the coast, was seemingly anx
ious to try his chance astride of a
hare. "They are off in a bunch,"
would declare, and at the finish h<
would coolly walk up and cash Ins
tickets, for he won, and won strong.
Then \Y. Kay, of the popular owners,
Kay & Trant, came to the front, first
declaring that he was not connected
with the opposition dog men, and that
no authority had been given them hy
him for his election as an officer in the
new combination, and then followed
with a few well-placed bets. A lady,
well known by many present, persisted
in asking questions, which placed the
baseball female questioner in the
shade.
"Why do tne hares run so fast?" was
her first question, and then when the
gentleman friends had escaped through
a rear entrance she inquired of her
lady companion, "What makes the
hounds follow?" Of course the ques
tions were answered, but the lady rode
home alone.
It was plainly a day for the favorites.
The hares were in splendid trim, and
many courses were more than exciting.
The first throw-down of the day was
when Semlnole, at 2 to 1, lost to the
neglected Sly Boy. Then Eclipse, who
was thought to be a "lead piper," failed
to follow "White Lily. But the faint
ing spells arrived when the ii to 3 fav
orite, Fleetwood, lost to Tod fcloan In
a long and well-fought course. Nelly
B ran a bye with Vigilant, and the
course proved that bettors were not al
ways in the right, as Vigilant took a
nice slice of money, which had been
played at 2*& to 1 against him.
The feature of the day was the run
ning of Diana. Beating such hounds
as Myrtle, Sly Boy and Susie is no easy
thing, and when the fleet hound start
ed the money flooded the ring. Moon
dyne was in bad condition in the fourth
ties. In the course between Moondyne
and White Lily Moondyne won hands
down, but the hare escaped, and un
fortunately a loose rabbit was started,
and a hard run was taken all over the
course. White Lily outran the com
petitor, which proved that Moondyne
was tired from a severe day's work.
The popular decisions looked like this:
T. Butler's Susie beat J. F. Grace's Lass

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1898.
COULD NOT
IDENTIFY A
SUSPECT
The Robber Who En
tered Jess' Grocery
Is Released.
Confronted by His Three
Victims They Fail to
Recognize Him.
He Is an Ex-Convict, and Is
Well Known by Several
Different Names.
POLICE SURE OF HIS GUILT.
He Recently Served a Short Term
in the San Quentin
Prison.
Since the daring robbery in Jess' gro
! eery store, at First and Folsom streets,
last Thursday night, Detectives Ryan
and ODea have had under suspicion a
■ man whom they strongly suspect of be
ing the robber. He is an ex-convict,
and is known under several different
: names. Convinced that he was the
right man, the detectives yesterday
took him to tho grocery store fur the
purpose of having him identified. Aft
i er carefully scrutinizing him, Jess, the
proprietor, failed to recognize him.
"I was so excited at the time." he
explained to Ryan and O'Dea. "that
even if he was the right man 1 oruld
not identify him."
The two men who were in the store
at the time were then sent for, but,
like Joss, they were unable to i
nize the suspect.
Realizing the folly of throwing him in
jail the detectives, after the three wit
nesses had failed to identify him, re
leased him.
A description of the ex-convict has
furnished the officers of the South
ern Station, With instructions to k>^p
a strict watch on him.
It developed last night that after the
desperate robber entered the saloon he
ordered Jess to turn over to him the
contents of the cash drawer. Only
three dimes were in the drawer, and
»vhen the proprietor threw them on the
counter one of them rolled off on the
floor.
The robber placed one of his revolv
er* on The counter and stooped d
to pick up the ten cent piece. One of
the men who was in the saloon at the
time started to reach for the weapon,
when the robber suddenly jumped up,
and, covering him with the other re
volver, threatened to blow out his
brains if he moved another inch. After
securing the money he turned to the
two patrons nnd gave them each 10
cents with the remark. "Buy i
1 ron the boss' money." He then
backed out of the saloon and made his
The handkerchief which he used as a
mask was subsequently found in a
yard contiguous to the scene of the
robbery.
The police are convinced that the ex
convict, who was suspected of having
committed the bold crime, is the right
man. On the night of the robbery he
was seen hanging around the store, ap
parently awaiting a favorable oppor
tunity to enter. On account of the f«»*j.
ure of the proprietor and his two pat
rons they, however, have decided not
to arrest him pending further Investi
gation.
LECTURES ON "CIVIL
AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY."
Hon. Charles A. Bonaparte Speaks in a Sen-
sational Style Upon Trusts and the
Acts of Congressmen.
BOSTON, Jan. 16.— Hon. Charles J. Bon
aparte delivered a striking lecture at the
mont Theater this evening on "Civil
and Religious Liberty." attacking trusts
and boodle Congressmen. He said: "It
is a great wrong that the law should be
obscured as it sometimes is. Perhaps
some of our United States Senators would
not be on such familiar terms with trusts
and corporations if a few were hung up
to lamp posts. The progress of the law
is so slow It does not cause any satisfac
tion when its decrees are carried out.
When a man can be convicted, sentenced
and put out of the way in two weeks
after he is caught there will be few
lynrhings heard of.
Mr. Bonaparte alluded to certain secret
societies that had attempted to keep from
public office all men of his faith. He
said be looked with equanimity upon such
efforts. The A. I. A. would help Cath
olics in the opinion of Americans whose
good opinion was worth having. Some
politicians of his faith had lacked Judg
ment and sought to fight the puny ef
forts of the A. P. A. He was very sorry
for it, but those who sought to kindle the
dying fires of religious hatred met with
failure. Time would do the right thing.

ROTTANZI AS
A CRUSADER
Property Owners of the
Mission Flock to His
Standard.
Twenty Picked Men to Urge the
Removal of the City and
County Hospital.
Enthusiastic Meeting nt Maennerbund
Hall— Strong Speeches Ap
plauded.
The crusade for the removal of the
City and County Hospital to some oth
! er site and the erection of new build
! ings has at last begun in earnest. Yes
terday afternoon the property owners
of the Mission assembled in mass meet
| Ing at Maennerbund Hall, Twenty
fourth street and Potrero avenue, and
used the parliamentary battle-ax vig
orously In a united endeavor to gain
redress of their grievance.
At that meeting two names shone as
stars of the first magnitude of
! Supervisor Rottansl and Senator I*. J.
Dwyer. They have both devoted a
good deal of their time and energy to
the proposed reform, and the assem
blage simply showered them with en
comiums from the drop of the chair
man's gavel to the passing round of the
hat. As a result of that meeting twen
ty representative citizens will call In a
sort of friendly way to interview the
Supervisors on the proposition to-day,
and later on will make a few business
visits. In addition It was decided to
I hold monthly meetings and keep ham
! mering away on the reform string until
! somebody's heart softens or nerves
weary— it is the same thing to them.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Potrero Avenue Improvement
Club. James B. Hughes called it to or
•■ der, and Thomas Blevin was selected
as chairman, and Eugene V. Sullivan
as secretary.
After asserting the purpose of the
gathering and the fact that vigorous
support at this time would direct at
tention to Supervisor Rottanzi's pro
posed resolution to remove the hospital
and erect new buildings, Chairman
Slevin read a resolution, adopted unan
imously. Its general purport was as
; follows:
That <"hristian charity r- quires that
community shall care properly
for its Buffering poor; that senator I-.
J. Dwyer had introduced a bill at the
[ as t session of the Legislature empow
.■liiiß the Sujurvih^Ts to levy a special
tax of $300,000 for the >. 'instruction of
a new City and County Hospital; that
the hospital was built twenty-five yours
ago with the assurance that it was to
bo torn down and the land to revert to
the city in ten years, none of the prom
ises made at the time being fulfilled;
that the rights of the taxpayers should
be respected in the matter of having a
hospital fit for the largest city west Of
the Rocky Mountains, and that public
decency should be respected and the
suffering poor no longer be treated U
inadequately as th-y have been. The
document concluded as follows:
"Resolved, That the chairman of this
meeting shall appHnt a committee of
twenty, which shall be present at the
next meeting of the Board of Super
visors, to lay before that honorable
body these resolutions, and in the name
of the citizens request that immediate
steps be taken to remedy this crying
and shameful abuse; and. further.
"Resolved. That the secretary of this
meeting be Instructed t<~> present to the
Hoard of Supervisors and to the pr<>ss
of San Francisco a copy of these reso
lutions."
At the suggestion of members of the
audience the following were appointed
a committee to carry out the purpose
of the resolution: M. Ohiandt. t.. j.
Dwyer, T. F. Mitchell, D. F. Keefe, A.
P. M.-ieuire. .Tames P>ehan. James B.

berg. Rev. William Tuhb. Henry-Schul
ken. M. C. Cull, Max Popper and Will

This committee was made permanent,
and the first Funday In February was
appointed a? the next time of meeting.
Huphes tried to speak with Dr. Rot
tanzl by telephone, In order to make
arrangements as to the time of confer
ring: ■with the board, but failed to find
him.
Stirring addresses were made by Sen
ator Dwyer. A. B. Magulre. Max Pop
per, P. J. Curtis and Rev. Dr. Tubb.
All urged the people to keep working
until their rights were respected. Pop
per struck the keynote of the situation,
erldenced by the applause, when he de
flared that "we want no money ex
pended by the Mission in Caring for
monkeys when human beings are left
sick and neglected." Curtis declared
that the present hospital Is not good
enough in which to place a high-bred
dog. and Rev. Dr. Tubb believed It
would be a fine thing if all the patients
could be removed and the structure
burned to the ground.
Resolutions were adopted tharkinp
Senator L,. J. Dwyer and Dr. Rottanzi
for thf-jr activity in the matter.

THREW UP
HER ARMS
AND DIED
Mysterious Death of
an Old Woman in
the Hospital.
Jennie Webster, While
Chatting With the Sur
geons, Passes Away.
She Was Picked Up by the Po
lice at Eddy and Leaven
worth Streets.
MAY HAVE TAKEN POISON.
Fragments of a Letter Discov
ered in Her Posses
sion.
The surgeons at tho Receiving Hos
pital are puzzled over the death of a
well-dressed woman which occurred in
the female ward last night.
Shortly after 5 o'clock, the woman,
who was about 45 years of. age, was
found lying on the sidewalk at the
corner of Eddy and Leavenworth
streets. The police were notified, and
she was removed to the hospital in the
patrol-wagon. After recovering con
sciousness, the woman said her name
was Jennie Webster. She denied that
she had taken poison, and claimed that
she was subject to fits. She was placed
in the female ward, and at 8 o'clock
lust night she had sufficiently recovered
to ask Dr. Fitzgibbon, who was In
charge, to allow her to go home.
On account of her advanced age, the
surgeon advised her to remain in the
hospital until morning. While chatting
pleasantly with the matron and an at
tache, the unfortunate woman threw
up her hands and suddenly expired.
Her body was afterward sent to the
Morgue.
In a pocket-book which was found
in the bosom of her dress was JL' 20 in
silver and a card bearing the name,
"Miss Clara Fortuna, 319 Sutter street.
There was also found in the pocket
book a portion of a letter bearing the
signature "Miss Ifollle Shaw, Salinas."
Sh>- had evidently destroyed the letter,
tut had carefully preserved the name
Of the sender. The woman was dressed
In a dark brown skirt and a light col
ored waist. She wore a tastefully
trimmed hat and a brown jacket. In
one of her stockings was found a
white handkerchief, in the corner of
which was tied up two $10 gold pieces
an<l two f"> gold pieces.
Officer Gaynor, who took the unfortu
nate woman to the Receiving Hospital,
says that he found her lying on the
sidewalk, apparently unconscious. Sev
eral citizens who were standing by said
that they noticed her walking along
Eddy street. As she reached Leaven
wortfa she suddenly threw up her hands
and fell. Thinking she had fainted
they tried to revive her, but without
avail. It was then that the police were
notified.
The most mysterious feature of the
case is that the woman refused to give
her address.
'"They shall not know of my troubles,"
she remarked to the surgeon, "I would
rather die first."
No amount of questioning could in
duce her to tell where she lived or who
her relatives were. She first gave her
name as Mary Webster, but finally ad
mitted that her true name was Jennie.
Dr. Fitzgibbon is inclined to believe
that the woman's death was caused by
strychnine poisoning. He bases his be
lief on the suddenness of her taking off,
which he thinks could not have been
caused by a fit, as Fhe was conscious
the minute before she died.
At ?.!!> Putter street, the address
found on the card in the •woman's pos
session, nothing was known of her, or
of any woman of the name of Clara
For+unji. The clerk looked over his
books to a date months hack and
found no reference to the names in
question.

was kept up the entire day and far into
the dusk of the evening.
The games were, as is usual, played
with much vigor and dash, as some of
the local champions were in their best
condition especially the four-handed
