While raiding a lottery game In China
town yesterday afternoon Policemen
Dougherty and Herring of the Chinatown
squad .noticed a white man standing in
front of the place acting In a peculiar
manner. Failing to find the necessary
evidence the officers left tho place and
were met by the stranger, who demanded
to know why they had broken into the
place. Thinking that he was one- of the
eccentric characters that Infest China
town the policemen paid no attention to
him. After walking a short distance
Policeman Herring noticed that the stran
ger was following him and his companion.
Suspecting that the man was bent on mis
chief. Herring suggested to his fellow
policeman that they hold him up. While
they were discussing the proposition the
stranger accosted them, and, menacingly
placing his right hand on his hip pocket,
demanded to know what right they had to
break up the lottery^ game* Both the of
ficers closed in on him and after a short
struggle they succeeded in placing hand
cufTs on his wrists.
When taken to the City Prison a loaded
bulldog revolver, a dirk knife and a slung
shot were found in the prisoner's posses
sion.
Tho prisoner gave his name as iioralse
Lenack and his occupation as that of a
tailor.

A charge of perjury against Contractor
Oeorpe W. McGinn was lodged yesterday
with Warrant Clerk Perry by Charles W.
Merritt of 1312 York street. Merritt al-
Uges that McGinn attested to a certifi
cate and under oath asserted that the
complainant signed an agreement upon
v.hich the Beard of Public Works award
ed a contract to Flinn & Treacy for the
laying of an eight-inch ironstone sewer
on York street. betw<=^n Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-sixth. Merritt's signature ap
pears on the document as having con
sented to the performance of the work by
private contract, but he alleges that the
signature is a forgery and that by attest
ing to its genuineness and swearing that
the same was affixed in his presence Mc-
Ginn has committed perjury.
Warrant Clerk Perry refused to Issue
the warrant, however, and instructed
Merrttt to return to-day at 1 o'clock. Mer
ritt was forced to leave without the war
rant, but stated that if the same was not
forthcoming to-day he would at once
"For a good many years I have been
competent to sign my own name," said
Merritt yesterday afternoon, "and al
though I do not say McGinn forged my
signature to the document, I do say that
he conr.mltted perjury in swearing that it
was genuine. I have been informed that
other signatures en the contract were
also forged. Mr. McGinn excuses his act
on the ground that It was committed in
nocently. He pays that all of the signa
tures down to mine were procured bv an
other man, who is now at Cape Nome,
and he, believing they were genuine, after
having secured the balance of the signa
tures attested to the genuineness of all.
"Contractor Flinn also came to me and
nsked me to drop proceedings against Mc-
Ginn and told me the same story. It may
be that McGinn was imposed upon by
'the man In Nome.* but he had no au
thority to swear that the signatures on
the contract, - including mine, were exe
cuted before him. I propose to put the
case through the criminal courts for my
own protection, and then, if McGinn's
statement is true, the fact will be devel
oped during the trial. In any event the
fact remains that my signature waa
forged and the guilty person must be pro
duced."
G. W. McGinn, being duly sworn, deposes
and says that for the purpose and objects af
the agreement of which the within is a true
and correct copy, he, as the agent of the sev
eral parties whose names are signed f> th»
original agreement, that all the signatures end
the number of feet each represents In figures
on the original agreement were appended Ihvrij
to In his presence, and are each one and all
the genuine and proper signatures and tixurc*
of the several parties respectively.

Notary Public in and for the City and County
of Ean Francisco, State of California.
The affidavit attesting to the genuine
ness of the signatures, the signing of
which Merritt alleges was perjury on the
part of McGirn, reads as follows:
State of California. City and County of San
move to compel Perry to comply with his
demand or lay his case before the Grand
Jury for Its consideration.
Merritt eays that he \% forced to move
against McGinn for the protection of his
own home, for he says in addition to the
suit which will undoubtedly be brought
against him to recover the amount duo
for the laying of the sewer others will
probably be brought against him and
other property owners by Jones & Co. to
recover damages caused by the discharge
of the sewer on the Jones property, it
having no other outlet, he alleges.
The contract in question was filed with
the Street Department December 25, 1S99,
and permission to work thereunder was
granted Flinn & Treacy on October 12 last
by the Board of Public Works. The con

CHARGE OF PERJURY IS FILED
AGAINST CONTRACTOR McGINN
Captain Myers left here on the Charles
ton in May. He was soon transferred to
the Oregon and then he was ordered to
Peking, which place he reached early in
June. The Boxers had already begun to
give the foreigners considerable trouble,
and when the siege on the legation com
menced Myers assumed charge of the
guard.
On July 3 it was learned that tho Boxers
had constructed barracks against the
outer walls which enabled them to look
down upon the entire legation settlement.
Myers, realizing that another dawn would
bring with it fearful slaughter of his peo
ple, provided the Mongolians were allowed
to retain their position, at once formu
lated a plan of action.
"We decided to make a charge and run
our chances of destroying the structure
they had built," said the captain. "It
was 1 a. m. when the attack was made.
The Boxers had anticipated a charge, but
supposed, of course, wo would work from

the front. Instead, we managed to reach
the wall unobserved from the side and
then we were on top of them before they
realized what had happened.
"During the charge a Chinaman ran his
spear into my leg, but I never knew I had
been wounded until after the fight, when
one of the mA called my attention to my
blood-soaked clothes. We killed over
fifty Boxers in the attack and managed
to demolish the structure which they had
put up.
"We had plenty of m^n to resist the at
tacks of the regiments quartered outside
the legation walls, but what worried us
most was the possibility of a double force
being lined up against us when it became
known that relief was on the way. Tho
day that relief came I was delirious, so
couldn't fully appreciate the good news.
Although suffering considerably from my
wound, I remained in command until July
21, when I was taken down with typhoid
fever."
Captain Myers says that many Imperial
troops took part in the attack on the le
gations. He is sure of that, for his men
captured several Imperial banners. In re

TION IN PEKING DURING THE RECENT SIEGE BY THE BOXERS
AND IMPERIAL CHINESE TROOPS.
The jurors were examined by Assistant
District Attorney Deuprey for the prose
cution and Attorney Schooler for the de
fense. Captain Seymour, who arrested
the defendant after the commission of the
crime, was In court and was an interested
spectator of the proceedings. It is ad
mitted that it will be one of the hardest
tasks ever experienced in a murder trial
in this city to get a Jury in this case from
the fact that most men in the community
are familiar with it and have formed defi
nite opinions, and a large number of men
are opposed to hanging a man on circum
stantial evidence.
The two accepted were W. J. Sherwood
and R. S. Atkins. P. P. Bernhard was
peremptorily challenged by the prosecu
tion and H. B. Reuss. B. T. Lacey and II.
H. Murphy for the defense. The others
were excused for cause.
The examination of the talesmen was
chielly restricted to the questions- as to
whether they would be willing to convict
a man charged with a capital offense on
circumstantial evidence, and whether they
had formed any opinion regarding the
case from the previous reports in the
press. A large number of them were ex
cused because they stated plainly that
they had a rooted objection to convicting
a man on circumstantial evidence alone,
and others had formed decided opinions
as to the guilt of the defendant from read
ing about the case and it would take very
strong evidence to change the opinions
they had formed.

A LITTLE man, clean shaven, with
a pale cast of countenance, dark
hair and wearing a dark suit, sat
at the lawyers' table In Judge
Cook's courtroom yesterday, in
tently observing the proceedings. The
man was Albert Frederick George Vere
ncscneckockorkhoff, known as Hoff. ac
cused of having brutally murdered Mrs.
Mary A. Clute at her residence, S02 Guer- !
rero street. December 15. 1S97. He was '
triod for the murder and was convicted in j
Judpe Cook's court on April 2. 1S3S. Throe j
days lator he was sentenced to be hanged, j
but an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court for a new trial, and it was granted
on August 13 last on the gTound that j
Judpe Cook had ovorstepi>cd the law iir I
charjrir.g the jury.
During h:p last trial Hoff wore a lnr.g, |
heavy, dark board and mustache, and the '
expression of his face was that of a man !
of a low order of intelligence and with j
nothing to specially attract attention to ;
him beyond the fa^t of his being a brutal j
murderer. The change in his appearance i
now is remarkable. His clean-shaven face ;
Fhows intelligence and something of the
t-xprecslon of a religious enthusiast. The !
deadly pallor is the effect of his long con- j
lincment in San Quentin while awaiting \
the derision of the Supreme Court on his j
appeal and he has evidently taken advan- j
tag* or the t!m«* to improve his mind. He '
etudied the Bible day after day and be- j
came the spiritual adviser of his fellow '
prisoners. He converted a Chinese mur
derer and was permitted to escort him to •
the gallows.
Hoff's second trial commenced yesterday
before Judge Cook. He was represented
by Attorneys W. H. Schooler and R. L.
Simpson. The prosecution was represent
ed by District Attorney Byington. Assist
ant District Attorney Deuprey and ex-As- ]
distant District Attorney Hosmer. The |
last named prosecuted the case on the |
previous occasion.
Hoff's whole attention was concentrated
upon the talesmen as they -were being ex
amined and cross-examined, and once
when one of the talesmen was asked if
he knew the defendant, the latter arose
from his chair with a smile on his face,
looked fteadiiy at the talesman for a mo- j
ment till the latter said he diu not know
him and then sat down, still smiling. He
did not seem in the least nervous, but j

One almost feared somehow, last even
ing at the Grand Opera-house, that the
glorious performance of "Tannhauser"
given last week, could not be again re
peated with equal excellence, but it was,
if possible, even more beautifully heard
than before. Such work is no come-by
choncu affair, and, to the credit of our
much be-Jayed town, it was heard by the
record house of the season so far. It has
rather amazed the operatic powers that
be, so I understand, that Wagiter has
scored so heavily here,, both from an ar
tistic and financial standpoint, which cer
tainly scores one for us. With his clever
finger on the public pulse, Mr. Grau has
therefore decided to give, for his next
popular programme on Sunday evening,
yet another performance of "Tann
hauser," with Susan Strong as Elisabeth,
Dippel in the name role, Plancon tjie
great as Herman and the rest of the cast
substantially the same. We're not so Jay
after all, and last night's was an audience
to delight the gods.
Gadski was in lovely voice. Exquisitely
tender and caressing In its quality it is,
and with a warm soft note that touches
to tears by its very beauty. She Is a
rcyal maid Elisabeth, singing, acting,
looking the full significance of the noble
role.
Bispham's voice grows on one. Th<s ex
quisite conscience of his art, his Intimate
trick of suggestion, the fine finish of all
his work, its masterly balance of heart
and brain, rouse anew to higher admira
tion with each added appearance of tho
artist. 'Tis a fine Wolfram that the Vhil
adelphian barytone puts on for u.3.
Van Dyck repeated his last week's suc
cess as Tannhauser. He is ?. great. Wag
nerian Interpreter. I think possibly even
greater as actor than singer. He paints
a princely portrait of the "Wagner hero.
Mr. Blass sang the Herman part and his
resonant, round basso was heard asriln
with much satisfaction. Mr. Bar3, Mr.
Hubbenet. Mr. Muhlmann and Mr. Vivianl
repeated their good work of last wnck
and lime. Olitzka was again the music
ally pleasing shepherd boy. fehe docs a
charming bit of acting, by the way, in
the pretty part.
The incomparable overture was received
with its accustomed ovation, and a word,
too, as to the magnificent march, with
its splendid picturesque pageantry of
music and scene. It is a gorgeous picture,
the Princess Elisabeth receiving now with
royal condescension, now with cousinly
grace, now with a filial service, mailed
and helmeted knight, splendidly gowned
and coifed ladies, the tottering monarch,
the pilgrim from afar. It Is a crowd col
ored and handled, grouped and lined like
an Irving crowd in its fine picturesque
ness, and all the time the music growing,
blossoming into the full fruit of one of
the finest ensembles ever written and pro
duced.
To-night "Romeo et Juliette" will bo
heard, with Melba, de Reszke, Plancon,
Saleza and all the rest of the eminent cast
of last week's production.

The Republicans of Calaveras County
intend to celebrate the great victory at
Angels next Saturday I evening. One of
the promoters of the celebration is W. C.
Ralston, who was elected to the Assembly
by a majority exceeding seven hundred.
The orator in chief at the proposed
demonstration will be Samuel M. Short
rldpe. whose plurality as Elector at large
on- the Republican ticket approximates
forty thousand. It is no longer a secret
that Mr. Shortrldge is a candidate for
United States Senator to succeed George
C. Perkins. -
A message comes from Fresno to the
effect that Dr. Chester Rowell, State
Senator and Regent of the University,
will accept the office of Collector of In
ternal Revenue, First California District.
He - entertains no special . contempt for
this particular office because J. C. Lynch
happens to hoM it, but he does not want
any office. All he desires is to further
the cause of clean politics.
The -friends of Senator Perkins say that
he has gained beveral points by reason of
Senator Bard's magnanimity in the Port
Collectorship. When the Senators reached
an agreement to the effect that either
Horace Davis or F. S. Stratton would be
acceptable. Senator Bard magnanimously
permitted Senator Perkins to select one or
the other. The latter preferred a resident
of his own county, hence Mr. Stratton
was chosen. In the allotment of places

position of cashier of the Custom-house i

W. Montague does not want to serve
another term as Postmaster of San Fran
cisco. Senator Perkins has Informed

ed for appointment.
probabilities are that they will never hear
of him again after the Legislature ad
journs. Kelly had the ballot boxes amply
stuffed at the primary election In order to
make sure of Brady's nomination. The
prestige of the national Republican ticket
pulled Brady through, hence he will go
to Sacramento as the choicest bud in the
bouquet of the bosses.
Boss Kelly expects that Assemblymen
elect E. D. Knight of the Thirty-fourth
District, John J. Hourlgan of the Thirty
flrst, Edward F. Treadwell of the Thirty
fifth, William J. Gullfoyle of the Thirty
sixth. John Butler of the Thirty-third.
Arthur G. FIsk of the Thirty-seventh,
Frank D. Macbeth of the Thirty-ninth and
Hamilton Bauer of the Fortieth will enter
the corral of the bosses and do politics
for everything in sight.
For the benefit of the young Republi
cans who were recently elected to the
Legislature, the fact should be again pub
lished that Kelly and Crimmlns are in
politics for the money that can be made
In promoting and defeating legislation.
As a commercial proposition they obtain
votes for the smallest consideration pos
sible and sell them at the highest price
obtainable. A member of the Legislature
who joins a boss organization to do busi
ness in the Legislature forfeits all claim
to the respect and confidence of the pub
lic. He simply becomes a chattel, to be
bought, sold and delivered by order of the
boss. He cannot conceal from his asso
ciates In the Legislature that his vote Is
not his own. Presently he begins to de
spise himself and seek sympathy in the
haunts of the degraded, where the press is
reviled for denouncing thieves and expos-
Ing theft.
The public career of a boss programmer
seldom extends beyond one session of the
Legislature. Of the big bunch of raw
programmers from San Francisco in the
last Assembly only one is returned to the
Legislature and he wins by a margin 6O
narrow, in a- district that gives a Repub
lican majority of 1000, that his election
may be contested.
" All the independent anti-boss Republi
can members of the last Legislature who
signified a readiness to serve again were
re-elected. Among those chosen again
are: J. J. Luchsinger, C. M. Belshaw,
A. E. Muenter, Thomas Flint Jr.. C. B.
Greenwell, Alden Anderson, W. B. Lard
ner, J. "W. Atherton, F. E. Dunlap, J. R.

"BOSS" KELLY IS FIXING A TRAP
FOR NOVICES AT THE LEGISLATURE
Boss Martin Kelly Is eager to organize
a bunch of San Francisco Assemblymen
to do business at the old stand in Sacra
mento during the forthcoming session of
the Legislature. In spreading the snare
for the novices in the city delegation the
boss tells them that acting Individually
they will have no Influence, but acting
collectively as a solid delegation they can
control the legislation or the session and
secure the bulk of the patronage.
The programme of Kelly and Crlmmins
Is to elect Martin Brady of the Forty
third District chairman of the San Fran
cisco delegation. It Is well known that
everything Kelly says goes with Brady.
From the standpoint of boss politics.
Brady would be a rank lngrrate If Kelly's
orders did not go, because Brady was dis
covered at an obscure way station some
where between the tenderloin and the
racecourse and exalted to the dignity of
a legislative nominee.
The taxpayers and citizens of the Forty
third District never, heard of Martin
Brady until he was nominated to repre

"Gentlemen: During my

America, and in Europe, I
have used the Steinway piano
exclusively, having one at my
home in Italy.
