Frank Truesdale, the sailor with a frost- I
bit t d hand, ifho was arrested on his re- '
turn from a wlial:np cruise for having de- '
serted his wife and children, tells a stranpe |
yarn of the manner in which he came to !
l go north eight months ago. The sailor i- |
tie, strons; man and is easily move! to
tear*, lie was a locomotive fireman be
fore the great strike o! '94 and since then
he could not cci steady wort.
Tn.esdale is not a teetotaler and this
nppears to be the root of all iiis trouble.
He is now in the County Jail on a charge
. tf not suppcrtine his wife and three chil
dren, and as he r.as one arm in a slinn he
says he does not see how he couio very
well support them even if lie was at
lib rty.
"I did not willingly desert my wif* and j
children, ' said Truesdale io-dny. "I was .
shanghaied. 1 w;o c to my wile whenever
1 could during ray ab-ence, and would |
have sent her money if l had received
any. I was over in ban Franci«co look
ins; for work when a man npproached me,
attracted, doubles.*, by my size and
sir? ngth, and saia he would give me a
good, Bteady job unloading lumber from
a vessel. I was to receive $2 a day, and,
of cours-e, I jumped at the offer. 1 was to
sleer> on lite yes-el, but there was no men
tion made of any northern ciulse. 1 was
given supper the tir*t day 1 went to work,
and I think i lie fooa must have ben
drueged, for I »lei»t for hours. When 1
awoke we were 300 miles out to sea.
"I went to t!:e captain and implored j
him to lei me return. I weut like a child, j
but Le would <;ive me no satisfaction.
Tn«re were four or five other men en
trapped as I was, boi our prores»s were of
r.o fcVf.i' 1 . When we reached the north i
our sufferings were terrill?. We were i
riven very lmle to eat, although tli«r?
was plenty of food aboard, and most of j
us wera irozen. We were near the i
wnalers that are now locked in the north. !
1 fear that no vessel can reac:i them and j
that 3JO men wiil fini death there this i
■winter.
"The Alexander captured nine whales,
and I should receive $15 for each whale.
1 cannot get out to ro to San Francisco t ■
see what lias become if my share and
snal. have to resort 10 Habeas corpus. As
the result of my beins frostbitten I may
vet have to lose a finger."
True-dalr's wife and children are at
ulah, where the mother is cooking to
DCrt the litt.'e ones. Colonel Dimp'el
of the Children's Society has inves'ii^aied,
and rinds that Truesdaie has earned
$IS6 26, of which 5170 is kept bace as pay
ment for h',s outfit. Six iioll.irs is owinn
for snipping fee*, so that he will receive
for his eight months' cru se flO 116 The
society is willing to withdraw from the
ro«ecution if Truesdale will give «ome j
guarantee of his intention to provide lor \
his family in the uture.

Judge Allen Does Not Believe
the Elmer-McConnell Fight
Was a Fake.
Chief Lloyd Will Keep an Eye on
the Tricks of the Gambling
Fraternity.
Oakland Office San Fraxcisco Call.)
908 Broadway, Kov. 9. )
The declaration of the Chief of Police
that he will keep a close watch on boxing
contests, and will promptly int?rtere as
soon as he detects anything (hat resem
bles a prize-fight, has proved of great in
terest to the two athletic clubs of this city.
Alter the Elmer-McConnell contest last
Friday night Chief Lloyd said: "lam
not satisfied that the contest was on the
square. The whole responsibility rests on
me, and if we are to have fake contests
here and gamblers are to work the city
the whole responsibility rests on me.
'The sport, fasrly conducted and lree
from the taint of jobbery, has been per
mit'ed here without objection from any
one, and will be continued, bat the other
thing must not be. I do not say that
Elmer did not do his best against McCon
neil, but I am t.ot satisfied mat lie did.
I certanly shall not permit skin games
under the gnisa of Boxing contests.
President It. M. Fitzgerald of the Reli
ance Ciub made the following statement
to-day :
The boxing contests In the club have always
been under tirict supervision and absolutely
under our own control. The club tins re
trained from anything that would eve offense
or border upon brutality. The referee has had
orders to stop anything t .at became brutal,
und we have confined «l! contests for some
time to eight rouuds to comply with a request
ot the Chief of I'Oi cc. I have bien present at
most ot the contests myself, read/ to stop any
thing that micht go too far.
Tne gloves used are not those of the regular
prize-ring, but a heav.er glove. Tne contests
riavft been given for the entertainment of the
members of tne club mid their friend*, and
persons uot members have been admitted upnn'
payment ol the admission charged. We
nave kept young boys out, unless tncy were
those of members cf the club accompanied by
ilie:r lAUiers. There ore m-iny members of
the club «nt other' who enjoy seeing the art
of '-eif-ijcfen.se exemp.ffied, and if huch exhi
bitions are not given litre mey will go across
the bay. No pools are sold upon »ny contest
in the Rtlimice Ciub, and no far as I k'iow
there is no betting, unlea* the wrger of a cigar
or something of that sort mignt bo called
mch, on the results. This feature Is oniy In
cidental to the attitude and purposes of the
ciub, and there has been nothing, 1 thinfc. In
the way the boxing contests have been con
ducted to give any good cause tor criticism."

of duly and ctisob d'ence of oraers. rora
menced at headquarters of the Second
Bricade, N. G. C, last night.
Sergeant de Vreis, farrier of Troop A,
testified that lie did not recollect that he
at any time told Captain Jenks that the
food furnished for the animal* was in
sufficient The witness also testified that
ho did not furnish bedding because the
captain did not j rovide any.
It was shown that four of the horses
were sold for $'J1 for chicken feed. The
witness was nsfcel if that was a fair price
for bortes in good condition. The witness
finally staled that one of the horips,
John P, was 15 years old. Parrott was
unfit to ride, Ntipoleon which brou_-ht $6
was knuckie-jouued and CO one wou.d
ride him, wh.le the fourth, tbe filly, had
a ringbone on one foot.
Lieutenant Burnett, now in command
of Troop A, t stilied thai on the morning
of Sep!e:n Dcr 4 i/.e horses appeared in bad
-condition — much worse tban a month be
fore — and that Captain Jen ks told him the

Ju'ige Groezi'^sT stated while the nc
cusi (1 had pleaded not guilty, be had been
Eli Ity of a slisrht neglect which could and
should have been overlooked. He said
further tb»t he would show that t tie
captain was no' Ruilt> of t tie gross crudity
that he had bpn accused nf.'
Sergeant de Vries was asked if the horses
had leaned up against the [posts, and he
replied, "No sir, tliert> were no posts for
them to li'an against." The witness stated
further that niter the veterinary ad
examined all ihe horses, he remnrked that
he woul'i iv. t give a do..ar for the whole
lot.

WANT MORE SOLDIEES.
The Chamber of Cuininfrr* Desires
Two More Itegimeuts.
The trustees of the Chamber of Com
merce met jcsteiday and the subj a ct of
petitioning Conpres3 for two more regi
ment-* of artillery was discussed. The
idea is that San Francisco wouln be greatly
benefited by naviiin better deienses on the
Golden Gate. The petition, which was
adopted, reads as follows:
Your memorialist, the Chamber of Com
merce of Sau Francisco, impressed with the
wisdom of maintaining ihe detenses of the na
tion as the best mcurit/for the maintenance
of peace, and hnvlng high regard tor the valu
able modern artillery now Let ti? mounted lor
the defense of our coasts, /cspectfuiy urges
upon you the necessity for an increase of the
heavy artillery i tlie army of the Unite 1
State* by the addition of not less than two lull
regiments. The character of modern ordnance
requiring special ami expert care we deem H
a true economy to' provide ii by the addition
of men who thall be both able to handle it
efficiently In time of war and to maintain it
In proper condition in time of peace.
TheT'iited Slates army bMnir numerically

Judca Low yesierday was bold enough
10 reverse the decision of Judge Waliac©
in regard to poolroom case?, but later ac
knowledged that he had done so under a
misapprehension.
E. Pollexsen, a broker at 11 Montgomery
street, was arrested Saturday for violating;
the pool-'ordinancc. When the case was.
called yestetday it was urned for the de
fense that the money was sent to the
track- to 1 De wagered und he was merely
acting as an agent. On this shoviin>:
the Judge dismissed the case, although
Judge \\ .ace had uecided in tne case of
John Giynn thai the ordinance passed
last January covered that point and also
that the or -inance was constitutional.
Captain Witniar. was not. tied by the ar
resting officer of tiie decision and he at
once saw Chief Lees. Judge Low was
sent for und Judge Wallace's aecision was
brought to his attention. He was not sat
l^fieu but went and taw Judge Wallace
himseh, who assured him that even il b«
took $5 out to the truck for a friend ana
wagered it he was violating the ordi
nance.
Judge Low told Cbief Lees that in
)in tire be would try the pool cases on
tiieir merits.
Several warrants were sworn out yester
day ior the arrest of poolsehers.
