' They made no claim to represent horsemen- They candidly arid with the utmost frankness declared that the wishes of the legitimate horsemen for j a short racing season would not suit them in the slightest degree. More than that, they an nounced that the demands of the horse men were antagonistic to their own, as they are seeking profit from the bookmak ers and .the gamblers and not from the horse owners and breeders. These men were audacious in their de mands on Thursday and it is fortunate for the people of the city that they were. By stating their position frankly they left no shadow of doubt upon the question. They demanded the longest possible sea son, as every added day,. Attorney Dora said candidly, means added profit.' And the petitioning gamblers, seemed thor oughly to- understand to whom they were speaking.

Hill, ' ex-Coroner of the city and county, has been ordered- by Judge Bahrs to pay his wife, Mrs. Mary Hill. $75 a month during the pendency of her action against him for maintenance. A short time ago Dr. Hill filed suit against his wife to set aside certain deeds, on the ground that they were placed in her hands in trust and that she refused to reconvey them on demand. Mrs. Hill forthwith sued her husband for mainte nance, and the action was partly heard yesterday. Mrs. Hill admitted that her husband had paid some of -her bills, but contended that the sum he gave her was inadequate for her support. Judge Bahrs said that the testimony satisfied him that Mrs. Hill was entitled to -alimony, pen dente lite, and in addition allowed Mrs. Hill $100 for counsel fees and $50 costs. UNHAPPY COUPLES ENTERTAIN JUDGES Suits for Divorce, for Maintenance and for Children Prose ;r, cuted. Emma C.

Mrs. Manassa was an inmate of Agnews Asylum when the divorce was granted, and being unable to answer the suit she contends that she was divorced without cause.- Jud»je Dain gerfleld will determine the merits of her petition, and yesterday continued the caao for twenty days in order to obtain addi tional testimony corroborating or refut ing her contention. - Judge Seawell yesterday continued the hearing of the case by which .Charles Krause, treasurer of the Tivoli, ssek-* to gain the custody of his. minor, child, who is now living with her mother, Mrs. Delphina Krause. Mr. and Mrs. Krause were divorced some time ago nnd Mrs. Krause was awarded the. custody of the child. Krause now claims that Mrs. Krause is not a fit and proper person to have the little girl's custody. His lawyers endeavored yesterday to establish their contention that Mrs. Krause was being sSSorted by David Helbing at 706 Polk street and also tried to show that she had been intimately associated with the late General Ezeta. Mrs. Krause denied both allegations and produced several witnesses who testified, as to her love for her child and the proper manner in which the youngster was being reared.

It Is believed that they are in hiding not far from this city, and their capture is momentarily expected by Chief Sullivan. Burnett Sheehan of 1197 Bush street, who is a grandson of ex-Judge Wallace, reported to the police yesterday that' while he was picking popples in San Mateo County, near the Union Coursing Park, about half a mile from the electric car line as it passes to the park, .yesterday morning he saw two young men sitting on the- ground: -One of them called to him. and said. "Here, sonny, get me a paper, will you?" Sheehan replied that he did not know where to get a' paper; and then the man said: "All right; we will get one." Then the man asked him it the Emporium was closed to-day. , Sheehan said he did not .know. Then the second man. said to Sheehan: "Don't say anything about this, now." Sheehan then became frightened and walked away, and when- he waa a short distance from the men he heard on* of them say: "Hurry up, now; hurry up." Sheehan looked back once and saw - the two men standing up, facing away from San Francisco. ¦¦ Sheehan says the man who did moyt of the talking to hhn looked like the picture of Bernard shown him by the police. That man had dark curly hair, dark gray, trousers with holes in them, shoes without strings, dark complexion, dirty face; black soft shirt, sleeves ripped, brown soft hat with full .crown. The second man wore blue overalls, all torn;. white shirt, Com plexion and- hair lighter than the other, man and stouter.

"\Vhllo traveling through the Orient- Miss Walnh sang to many exacting audiences, always meriting their hearty approval.

ADVERTISEMENTS. coin has been actually collected from the banks on which the urait.s are drawn. It has been the custom upon receipt of these checks to pin them to the tax bills they are intended to settle, and pending their collection and ' for' the lack of a. better place' to put them they have been thrown into a waste paper basket attached to the counter near the cashier's desk. Took Checks While Curtaz Figured. Quite a number of checks were taken in Thursday by Cashier Curtaz, and when the lime arrived to balance his accounts for the day -the waste basket contained paper representing teverai thousand dol iars. • ZZ4,<-"- . •While Mr.. Curtaz . was busy adding a column of figures the new Janitor put in an appearance. He was intent upon mak ing a. record and boasted that he was go ing to keep the Tax Collector's office cleaner and neater than any other depart ment in the building. ' -.--. TneV baskf tiul ot checks was the first thing that attracted his attention. .He lifted it from its hook, dumped its con tf-nts :into the furnace in tlie basement and returned it to its 'peg without being noticed. Then he went about raising the dust in total ignorance of the fact that he had consigned a small fortune to the fire. The Loss Discovered. It was not until Curtaz prepared to lock up for the night that the olunder was dis covered. When he peered into the waste basket and saw no checks his hair stood up and he had to grasp the coupter for support. Inquiries were made of the of fice force, but none of the clerks knew a thing about the checks. The banks and the Clearing-house were hurriedly noti fied of the loss, and for a time it was thought that the Tax Collector's office had been robbed. A force of clerks was put to work checking up the tax stubs to ascertain the amount of the loss and the names of the taxpayers whose checks were missing. The task was nearly completed when th*, record-breaking Janitor was questioned. It was thought that he might possibly have seen some stranger around the office whose description might lead to the detec tion of the supposed thief. Janitor Confesses. The Janitor had seen no suspicious Btranger and knew nothing about any checks. Then he was shown the basket from which it was thought the precious paper had been abstracted. His confession and a tableau followed. All the taxpayers whose checks wen burned were informed bright and early yesterday morning. Several of them drew new drafts during the day and set tled their accounts. Others are expected to do likewise to-day. A fresh janitor took charge of Mr. Scott's office yester day. . The Tax Collector says that the blunder wus almost inexcusable, and that while Ix. caused him the loss of considerable sleep it will be straightened out without injury or inconvenience to any one. WHETHER Slmpton of Sausallto is a perjurer or a saint Is- the question now before the Grand Jury. The Inquisitorial body .commenced an investigation yesterday afternoon of the sensational charges and counter-charges growing out of the Craven-Fair litigation now pending before Judge Troutt and in which is- in volved, the reputation for truth of- the Marln County magistrate, A. Sylva, hts adviser and guardian, and Mrs. Nettie R. Craven-Fair. f . ' . One Oath Too Many. ;As Slmpton has sworn to two state ments—one that he did and the. other that he did not perform a marriage ceremony making Senator Fair arid Nettie Craven man and. wife— it would appear that from any point of view he has taken an oath once too often. If his latter story that Mrs. Craven-Fair offered him a bribe to swear to his first declaration is true and the Grand Jury takes that view of it,' the central figure in the Craven-Fair litiga tion stands a chance of being forced to defend herself in a criminal- action. On the contrary, if her story is given credr ence, all the Fair attorneys, all the Fair heirs and all the friends, acquaintances and employes of the Fair heirs and Fair attorneys may awaken some morning and find themselves In jail, for she says .they are all conspirators, striving to crush her with the power of the wealth which has fallen into their hands from .the estate of the late Senator Fair, whose widow she claims to be. • ' ; •Indeed, It is a pretty mess. v . \ Failed to Recognize Mamma. •A host of witnesses, attorneys and de tectives hovered around the corridors outside the Grand Jury room during the Attorney Sylva Says It Will Take a Week |to Tell Details of the Plot to Entrap - ; :, HE THOUGHT THE CHECKS WERE ONLY WASTE PAPER Janitor in Tax Collector's Office Burns .. $3000 Worth of Drafts.

Not Good at "Hefting." The Janitor, whose identity has been carefully guarded, was recently appointed by the Board of Public Works, presuma biy upon the recommendation of . Mayor Phelan. He had probably learned from his sponsor the art of "hefting" coin.: but when It came to determining the value of a. basketful Of ce f tifieJ . eh»<*k* by th«?

PROBING THE CRIMES IN THE CRAVEN -FAIR CASE Grand Jury Begins Investigation of Simp ton's Contradictory Affidavits. was such that it should be watched, but being watched is just what the gamblers do not want. But when the provision giving to any and every association that asks the privilege of racing and gamb ling was read the gamblers said nothing. This concession was something more than they had dared to ask. The resolution is carefully worded, and provides for con tinuous racing and track gambling from one end of the year to another. Such an outrage has never before been attempted upon the' people of San Francisco. Competent lawyers have looked into the matter and they are of one opinion that the ordinance provides for continuous rac ing. And this is the measure that Tobin uses as his first distinctive act and policy in public life. It is charitable to believe that .he has been made the victim of some crafty schemer's _ imposition. The proposed law In whatever aspect it may be. viewed is simply intended to create for the local and Eastern track gamblers a monopoly of their vicious and criminal trade in San Francisco, shutting out all other gamblers and giving to the Ingle side sharpers the entire field in which to pluck the' gullible and ruin the un wary.- It is little wonder therefore that the community is aroused in protest and in dignation. The boasted reforms of char ter administration are turning into the reality of new evils and greater outrages upon the city. The promise of an honest and decent government is being made in the fulfillment of public crimes. The re establlshment of Ingleside means an in flux of Eastern gamblers to this city, an increase in dives and public immorality, a tremendous stimulus given to crime and new temptation placed in the way of. the youth of this city. For these reasons the men of business, merchants, com mercial-men, bankers and tradesmen are emphatically in opposition' to the out rageous proposal. Ministers, clergymen, men of affairs, people who are in touch with the moral currents of the city are raising their voices and exercising their influence in protest. One class of men sees the terrible loss that will be inflicted on the city in thefts of money and the trial of criminals. Another class know* of the far greater evil of wrecked and dishonored lives, homes destroyed, fam ilies disgraced and men led to the pen itentiary or the morgue. And the men who are making these pro tests insist upon being heard. They will appear before the entire board on Mon- Ministers and Merchants IA/111 WaltUponthe Supervisors to Protest Against the Pro posed Outrage on the City. Public Indignation Follows the- Scheme; to Re-establish Ingleside's Crime- > Breeding Den. : . CITIZENS FACE THE EVIL OF CONTINUOUS TRACK GAMBLING day to state their cause and plead that the welfare of the city be not Jeopardlzea by this far-reaching and powerfully vi cious institution. The men who will plead will have much on their • side. They will have the support* of the Mayor, who is an open, aggressive and uncompromising opponent of public gambling. They will have: the recorded admission of Super visor Tobin himself that the racecourse is a great.; evil, which needs constant municipal supervision and regulation. They will have the admission of the peti tioners that they represent nothing but that which means profit to them through the bookmakers and through them the deluded public. . •"' . . _ . The men who will plead to _ the Super visors not to disgrace themselves and dis honor their administration can: say that the advocates of the proposed measure do not represent a single horseman or breeder or legitimate sport. Armed with these arguments they will have ¦ influence before the board and may be sure that they will be received with that considera tion to which their cause is entitled. WHO PAYS THE LICENSE? HTHE only argument of - JL fered in defense of the revival of the gambling den. of Ingleside is that the city will be made richer by $4000 a year in licenses. Ingleside has already, cost the people of San Francisco a sum reach ing into the hundreds' of thousands of dollars in the trial of men alone zvho owed their downfall to the snares 'and temptations of the track. Leaving utterly out of consideration the : enormous amount of money which has been stolen from public offices and private firms the municipality has suffered a tremendous loss. Is a repetition of the outrage worth the price? Hales. Hale* ¦ - i ¦ ¦ ¦ - -¦ *.-v<: /" ¦ ,•,».':.'¦ o m ¦ - - ¦ ¦ - V ••¦&¦' ¦•¦,¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1900.
