LEAVE NO CLEW BEHIND.
Haggled About a Broken Window
While His Store Was Being
Looted.
Four daring burglars made a success
ful raid on a grocery store kept by
Herman Schomaker at Gough and Oak
streets yesterday morning. Their plan
of robbery was original and they se
cured about $500 in cash, a check for
$40 and two postofflce orders for small
amounts.
The proprietor was alone In his store
shortly before noon when a young man
entered and asked for a cake of com
pressed yeast. He tendered a $10 gold
piece in payment and Schomaker went
to a desk guarded by a railing at the
farther end of the counter and pro
cured the change. A few minutes after
the customer left another young man
entered the barroom of the place and
called for a glass of beer.
It was served to him, and
as he stood at the bar drinking, and
while the storekeeper was busying him
self about the place, there came a. crash
of breaking glass at the front of the
store. A paint pot had been hurled
through the front window.
Schomaker rushed from behind the
counter of his store and out on the
sidewalk to see what the trouble was
and to find out who was to blame for I
the damage to his place. On the side- j
walk were two men apparently tight- '
ing. One of them wore the dress of a
painter and it was he who had thrown
the paint pot. He claimed the other
man had owed him 30 cents and he was
trying to collect it when a row oc
ourred. He tried to hit his debtor over
the head with the paint pot, but missed
him and smashed the window instead.
The two men made a further bluff at
quarreling and then commenced to dis
pute as to who should pay for the
broken glass. Finally the alleged debt
or agreed to pay for the window pro
vided the amount he owed to the paint
er should be considered as paid. To
that the painter agreed, and the man,
after groping in his pockets in an ap
parent search for a coin, said he did
not have any money with him, but he
would go home and get it and pay the
grocer for the broken glass. He started
off toward Fell street, and a moment :
later the man who had quarreled with
him followed.
The grocer went back into his store, j
The man who had been drinking the
beer when the window was broken was
gone. He had departed through a
side door. The grocer had occasion a
moment later to look into the desk :
and when he opened it a buckskin
sack in which he kept his money was
found to be missing. Then it dawned j
upon the grocer that the purchase of
the yeast cake by the stranger and
the beer drinker who came In soon |
afterward and the feigned fight in the
front of the store by which the win
dow was broken were all in a plan ar
ranged by the robbers to get his
moriey.
The man who purchased the yeast
cake and offered a ten-dollar gold
piece in payment went into the store
for the purpose of locating the place
grhere the gpxvr kept his money. The
large o>in was given in payment to
make the st'U'^keeper go to his cash
Bupply to get the change. The young
maii who entered the barroom and
ask"! for beer had been told the exact
place t" look for the sack that con
tained the grocer's money. While he
WM pippin c; his beer two- of his com
panions were to give him an opportun
ity to get to it and escape with the
money. They feigned the fight in the
front of the store. It was a part of the
plan of the burglars to break the win
dow and fo hold the attention of the
grocer while the man who purchased
the beer sneaked in behind the coun
ter to the desk and secured the sack of
coin.
They succeeded well. Schomaker
had forgotten all about the man he
had left in the bar of his place when
he went to see about the broken win
dow, and he did not think of him again
until he missed the money.
The man who sneaked behind the
counter and secured the sack of
coin was about 35 years of age as
well as Schomaker can remember his
customer. He had a slight mustache
and was about five feet nine inches
tall: The man who> was dressed as a
painter was about 30 years of age and
he wore a dark mustache. He had on
the usual white suit worn by members
of the painters' craft, with a dark
jacket over the white blouse. He was
about five feet seven inches tall. The
man he feigned to be quarreling with
was about 25 years of age and about
an inch shorter than the man who al

DISCRIMINATING DUTY.
Reciprocity to Be Made the Basis of
Action in All Cases Coming
Under the Rule.
The United States Board of General
Appraisers has rendered an important de
cision on questions arising under the pro
visions of section 22 of the act of July
24, 1837, relating to the imposition of a
discriminating duty of 10 per cent ad
valorem in certain cases.
The effect of this decision, in which the
Treasury Department concurs, taken in
conjunction with the opinion of the At
torney-General, is to relieve all merchan
dise coming from a contiguous foreign
country from the exaction of discriminat
ing duty, except such merchandise as
comes via contiguous foreign territory
from a country, the government of
which exacts a discriminating 1 duty upon
the vessels of the United States, or upon
the produce, manufacture or merchan
dise imported in the same from the
X'nited States or from any foreign coun
try.
Should any foreign merchandise become
legally liable to the discriminating duty
Erovicied for by section 22, clue notice will
c given by this department.
The decision now rendered being op
posed to the opinion given by fhe Solici
tor-General, as contained in the circular
of October 6. 1897, No. 163 (Synopsis 18427),
customs officers will no longer be gov
erned by the provisions of that circular.
All entries liquidate in accordance with
that circular will be reliquidated under
this decision, and duties paid in excess
as discriminating duties will be duly re
funded.
BOONE'S DISBARMENT.
He Makes Affidavit Accusing Repu
table Lawyers of Wrongdoing
Similar to His Own.
John L. Boone has filed an affidavit in
the United States Circuit Court with his
! petition for a rehearing in the dlsbnr
i ment proceedings against him, and in the
; affidavit he tries to make it appear that
I reputable lawyers have been guilty of
similar practices to those for which he
was disbarred.
He avers that in the case of Knox &
Osborn vs. the Great Western Quicksil
ver Company in the United States Circuit
Court in 1572, Hall McAllister accepted a
retainer from Knox & Osborn, got a ver
dict for them and afterward appeared
against them in another suit concerning
the same patent. Judge Boalt is also
charged by Boono with having appeared
against a former client in a patent case.
Hoone swears also that Judge D. J. Mur
phy appeared for Laura D. Fair on her
first trial and afterward, as prosecuting
attorney of the District Court, appeared
against her.
The charges have caused much indig
nation among attorneys accused, and
they deny that their cafes are at all sim
ilar to that of Boone, and for which he
was disbarred by Judge Morrow.

Wolcott on the Stand.
When the suit of Charles B. Polhemua
against the estate of Charleß Mayne was
called in Judge Seawell's court yester
day morning, Joseph L,. Wolcott, who
acted as secretary for the San Francisco
and San Jose Railroad Company prior
to its coming into the possession of the
Southern Pacific Company, was again
called to the stand. His evidence sim
ply went to prove the authenticity of the
books of the San Francisco and San Jose
Railroad Company through which the
plaintiff hopes to establish his claim.
The case will be resumed this morning.

of detection. The men In charge openly
assert that they do not fear the police,
and defy them to obtain sufficient evi
dence against them. As far as the
police know three poolrooms for "ladies
only" are in full operation on Grant
avenue. The most frequented, perhaps,
Is situated in a building at the north
west corner of Grant avenue and Geary
street. Almost erery afternoon a crowd
of women can be seen tripping up the
stairs to the poolroom, anxious to bet
thpir last cent on some horse. "Billy"
Akers, a retired prixe-flghter. runs the
place, assisted by a man named Har
rington, who is known to the habitues
of the tenderloin as "Pretty Harry."
When a Call reporter visited the pool
room yesterday afternoon, Harrington
was seated at a small desk engaged in
the lucrative pastime of writing "tick
ets" for the deluded women who
thronged the place.
"Say, pard, have you anything good
to-day?" asked a dilapidated-looking
female, addressing Harrington. "I've
about reached the end of my string and
want a lead-pipe cinch."
The suave clerk assured hex; that he
had a "sure winner," and would "put
her next," as he expressed it.
Taking her purse from her dress
pocket she eagerly opened it and hand
ed Harrington 25 cents.
"Say. don't throw me down," she re
marked. "If the tip ain't right tell me.
I am up against it, and to lose the
quarter completely breaks me."
The clerk told her that the horse
could not possibly lose unless he met
with some accident.
"Well, it goes," she hesitatingly re
marked, as Bhe passed her last 25 cents
to the'clerk: "play it straight, and God
pity me if I lose."
After waiting a short time, during
which the unfortunate now eagerly
noted the hots made by her fellow
victims, word was sent that the horse
had come in last.
"This is awful," bemoaned the mis
guided woman. "Robbed of my last
cent by an unscrupulous tout."
With tears streaming down her face
the grief-striken woman sadly left
the mom and walked down stairs.
As she reached the sidewalk she
turned around as if to take a farewell
lock at the place ami then passed on
muttering, to herself. Similar sa;l
scenes were witnessed, all of which
were scarcely noticed by the hardened
clerk and the other attaches of the
pool room.
There Is another pool room for
"ladies only" at 36 121 2 Grant avenue.
The men who conduct it are known as
Kohen and Anderson. They do a large
business, notwithstanding that the
average bet does not exceed 50 cents.
In room 8 of the Carleton House, at
116 Grant avpnue, thfre is still another
pool room, which is patronized exclu
sively by women. Almost daily a
heterogeneous crowd of sportively In
clined women can be seen walking up
the stairs leading to the room discuss
ing the probable winners of the day's
races. Wearing broad smiles as they
enter, they invariably emerge with
drawn faces, cursing their luck, and
blaming the clerk for inducing them
to part with their hard-earned money.
Recently Sergeants Martin and Coo-
gan, who alternate in the tenderloin I
district, determined to suppress the I
evil. They conferred with the Chief of !
Police with the result that a special de- !
tail of officers was sent to close the I
games. They established a sort of I
blockade, but, despite their efforts, the
games continued to flourish. Every day ,
two policemen are stationed in front of
each of the poolrooms with instruc- j
tions to warn the visitors that they are
liable to arrest.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the j
police the games thrive solely through
the evident determination of the women i
patrons to play the races.

Partisan Plan of the New
State Library Board
in Detail.
How the Republican Caucus
Provided for the Library
Patronage.
DEMOCRATS TO BE FIRED.
An Agreement to Abide by the Unit
Rule in Making Appointments
to Office.
The position taken by Governor Budd
respecting the Board of State Library
Trustees, who were enected by the last
Assembly to take office February 28,
1898, has excited a great deal of com
ment, and given rise to many specula
tions as to the precise contents of the
caucus letter sent to the several can
didates.
The written demands made upon the
aspirants for membership in the new
board under signature of the Republi
can caucus committee, and the pledges
responslvely said to have been made by
four of the five members elect, are held
by the Governor to constitute a vio
lation of the purity of elections law.
On this ground, it is announced, he
will decline to certify to the elections.
The Incumbent board will refuse to
vacate unless their successors present
the necessary certificates, thus forcing
the questions as to the legality of the
election and the proper qualification of
the new members into the courts for
settlement.
It will be recalled that the election of
Messrs. Ryan of Sacramento, Neff of
Colfax, Lemmon of Santa Rosa, Flint
Sr. of Monterey, and Lee of Los An
geles, was decided upon, not by the
Republican caucus immediately after
the names of candidates had been sub
mitted, but a week later. The interim
was employed by a committee com
posed of John H. Dickinson.
Thomas Flint Jr. and W. H. Price,
in securing pledges requiring candi
dates to agree to the adoption of a
majority policy, intended to give to
the Republicans the entire library pat
ronage. The plan was to render it im
possible for Democrats to hold posi
tions under the board of trustees, de
spite the provision of law de
signed to make personal competence
rather than political predilection the
proper test of fitness for library ser
vice.
The requirement that no person hold
ing a library position should be removed
except by a unanimous decision on the
part of the board was deemed a proper
safeguard for meritorious occupants.
In order to get around this statutory
prescription and bind the incoming
board to a partisan programme it was
decided by the managers of the Repub
lican caucus to make the board a unit
in the matter of making new library
appointments.
That is to say. the appointment of
any and all Republicans chosen by the
majority composed of three members
was to be approved by the minority,
and the board as a whole was to be
pledged to the replacement of Demo
crats by Republicans.
Great caution and secrecy were used
by the caucus committee in securing
the pledges, as the members seem to
have been fully aware of the delicacy
of their undertaking.
Under the presumption that the Gov-
ernor supported himself In his present
attitude by an authentic copy of the
letter so adroitly circulated, he was ap
pealed to yesterday by a representative
of The Call for a fac simile of it. He
admitted that he had one of the let
ters, but would not, for the present, ex
pose it. Nor would he positively ex
press his intentions as to the course to
be pursued respecting the certifications.
From another quarter, after diligent
research, the caucus letter, now des
tined to take a place in the history of
practical politics in California, was
obtained. Subjoined is its full text:
January 27, 1897.
Dear Sir: At a joint Republican caucus
of the two houses composing: the present
Legislature, held on the 26th day of Janu
ary 1897, your name was submitted to the
caucus as a candidate for the position of
Trustee of the State Library, and with
the names of other gentlemen was re
ferred to the undersigned as a committee
of three to communicate with each of the
candidates regarding the policy to be pur

The purity of the lily, the glow of the rose,! 1

sued by the Board to be elected on the 3d
day of February next.
As you understand, there are five
trustees; that no one in a position in the
library can be removed without the unan
imous consent of the five; that while the
Republican party were in control at tne
times of the election of trustees which j
have occurred during the past ten years !
the entire patronage of the library has i
been left with and given to the Demo- j
cratic party, and the library hRs to this !
extent been a factor in the politics of j
the State.
We are instructed to Inform you that it j
is the sense of the caucus that whoever :
should be elected a member of the coming 1
board of trustees should give his assur- 1
ance that he will see that Republicans i
are to be given not only the preference, !
but are to be placed in and occupy the ]
positions in said library under their con- \
trol or that of the State Librarian whom |
they may select; also, that as no such
change can be made without unanimous
consent, you will give your assurance to •
abide by the will of the majority of the
trustees as to any removal: also to pledge '
the Librarian selected to employ only Re- j
publicans as assistants in his office.
As instructed, we now send tßis* com- i
municatlon to you and should be pleased
to hear from you by letter or telegram
at your earliest convenience and in any i
event before the afternoon of Tuesday, :
the 2d of February next. Very respect- i
fully, your obedient servants.
