BELIEF IN A SUICIDE THEORY.

Relatives Declare That They No Longer

Think the Young Woman WasMurdered.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)908 Broadway, Jan. 30, 1896. f

John F. Woods, whose story regardingthe missing Annie Parker was publishedin this morninc's Call, went to the policestation this forenoon and offered to sur-render himself if any arrest were contem-plated. He was told that he was not

wanted and he tnen went aray. He didnot return to his unique collection of cab-ins all day.

Woods had previously gone to WilliamMollerand told him of his troubles. Mr.Moller is a trustee of the First EnglishLutheran Church, of which Woods is amember. Mr. Moller advised him to go tothe police station and offer to give himselfup, and then they went there together.

"Iknow Woods quite well," said Mr.Moller. "He drinks some and Iexpect helias been on a spree, but he has alwaysborne a good name. Ithink the familyshould have gone to the officers the firstthing and asked for help. The paperswould be a great help in locating her andno doubt willeventually find her."

Although there are many circumstancesthat seem to connect Woods withthe miss-ing girl, the detectives are almost satisfiedthat he does not know any more about herthan is known to her own family.

A great part of his excitement is due tothe suspicion that he thinks hangs overhim, although the girl's brother said to-

day that he does not now believe thatWoods had anything to do with MissParker's disappearance.

Woods' nearest neighbor saia this morn-ing: "Mt.Woods is a very quiet man andkind and open-hearted, but he will drink.Whenever he has been drinking he breaksdown and is very wretched. We havenoticed him about this week and could seehe had been drinking. He did not act anydifferent, however, than ne did at othersuch times. He often goes away leavingthe place open. He talked freely about histroubles and seemed to worry over them.He keeps liquor in the house.

"Atno time have we ever seen a womanat his house, and from what Iknow ofhim,Ibelieve he is as anxious to find MissParker as is her brother."

Woods showed p. reporter a letter frombis wife that helps Co explain his presentposition. Inher letter his wife refers tothe drinking habit that has overpoweredhim and rendered him incapable of actingthe part of a high-principled man. Mrs.Woods is at present with her relatives inMaryland, and she tells how she revisitedthe old church and stood before the altarat which they were married many yearsago.

All through the letter there ia evidenceof a very refined nature. There is not amention of Miss Parker in the wnole let-ter.

The family is certain that the woman

reported as acting ina strange manner inAlameda is not Miss Parker, although At-torney Holland is ofthe opinion that itis.

The portrait published in to-day's Callwas taken about seven years ago, and wasobtained from an intimate friend, who isanxious to help find Miss Parker.

"We have concluded that it is time forall publicity to cease," said Mr. Parker to-night. "We cannot overlook the fact thatAnnie left her watch, rings, purse andbankbook on her bureau when she wentout for the last time, and this seems topoint to a premeditated act on her part.AlthoughIwent to Woods' house very latethe nignt of Annie's disappearance, Ididnot, Iam sure, charge him with all thathe says Idid. Iknew he was very wellacquainted with my sister, and Iwent tohis place asIdid to many others."It transpired to-day that no one had

charged Woods with knowing about MissParker's disappearance, and he went toseveral of her friends and expressed hisdeep sorrow that she bad gone. Itwashis apparently unbounded grief thathelped to create suspicion.

A communication was handed in at TheCall office to-night for publication. Theremarks to which Rev. C. H.Hobart re-fers were made in an interview with J. F.Woods, who, when he made them, was |

personally convinced that he was held re-sponsible for Miss Parker's disappearance.Itis wellknown that everything containedin the note regarding the Parkers is abso-lutely true, buc itis only fair to Woods toquote his exact language. The letter is asfollows:

Oakland, Cal., Jan 31.To f/le Editor of the Call—Dear Sib: We ob-

serve in an article in yonr issue of the 31stsome remarks which seriously reflect upon theParker family,now indeep trouble. We desireto say that we have been acquainted with thisfamily formany years and know that such at-tack upon their good name Is both unjust anduntrue.

No family inour congregation is worthier ofthe entire confidence of their fellow-men thanthis, and none holds the confidence of ourcongregation more thoroughly than do they.

We make this statement as due from us to afamily whose unspeakable sorrow and troubleshould have protected them from such assaultupon their good name.

C. H.Hobart, pastor; John H.Stevens, J. C.Caldwell, J. K.Bradway, members of the FirstBaptist Church.

The belief that Miss Parker committedsuicide is increasing. One police theory isthat the girlis in San Francisco or some-where else in this vicinity, staying awayon account of some real or fancied un-pleasantness at home. That a prolongedstay away from home was not intendedis indicated, however, by the circumstancethat the young woman took little clothingand no other personal effects: DetectiveHolland was engaged on the case all day.

THE WOMAN AT BAN RAFAEL.

jLewis Smith Thinks Tt Was Miss Parker WhoCalled on Him.

SAX RAFAEL,Cal., Jan. 31.— A meat-dealer in this place says that a lady cameto hia shop on the morning of January 23or 24. "Just after the arrival of the firsttrain from San Francisco, which arrived atSan Rafael 8:45, she came into my shopand was a littlenervous. Inoticed particu-larly that she hesitated in speaking. Icame from behind the counter and askedher what she wished.

"She then aaked in a trembling voice,'Do you want to buy a watch? Iam alittle short of fivnds.' She took from herpocket or waist a lady's small watch, gold,

land as near as Ican remember, it had at-

tached a small chain some four or fiveinches long, with a small ball on the end.Iwould have bought the watch, but Ithought itwas a cheap one. Itold her Ihad no time to deal in watches, and couldnot help her any.

"She went out, went down Fourth street,toward the center of the town. That wasthe last Isaw or heard of her. Ithoughtnothing more of ituntil Isaw Miss Par-ker's description in the San FranciscoCall. Then it flashed into my mind thatthe young lady who was inmy shop mighthave been Miss Parker. Icould not bepositive, but am almost sure, from the pho-tograph and description, that it was thesame young lady which they are lookingfor.

"She had on, when Isaw her, a graycloak coming to her knees, and Ithink asmall felt hat. Iheard she was afterwardseen coming from the broad-gauge depot atnoon." Smith is the man who wrote theletter that appeared in yesterday's paper.

IGNORED THE COMMITTEE.Baseball Flayers Are Suspended, but

Stay Away From the Meeting;.

The committee of judges who met lustnight at the Olympic Club to decide thequestions involving amateurs and pro-fessionals in athletic sports decided tocreate a large vacancy in the baseball clubof the Pacific Athletic Association of theAmateur Athletic Union. It was accom-plished by declaring J. Coonev, C. A.Kann, H. Walter, R. Becket. F. Monohan,H. Krug, W. Grumwoll and J. Cosgrove,professional baseball players and dismiss-ingthem from the association. J. Sheehanwas suspended indefinitely.

The committee consists of John Elliott,W. F. Humphrey and W. Berry. Theyhad previously sent out notices to all ofthe suspended men ordering them to ap-pear before the august body and hear theirfate, but the ball-tossers did the uniquething of staying decidedly away, and nota single man appeared to hear the ulti-matum.

In a few words they gave the committeewhat is known to the sporting world as the"glassy eye" and the "marble heart."

The judges go to Oakland to-night tobold a mutilating session at the Reli-ance Club, where they willgo into the foot-ball question on the same basis. Theypropose to uphold the dignity of amateur-ishness, even ifthey are the only peoplewho are annoyed by it.

In the meantime the Oriel Baseball Clubof the Olympics will play together for theyear 1896. •—•—•

EFFORTS OF PROPERTY-OWNERS.

Sutro Says the Supervisors Had NoRight to Use Money for That

Purpose.

Mayor Sutro has vetoed the ordinanceof the Board of Supervisors appropriating$35,000 to be used in transforming Folsomstreet into a boulevard by bituminizingthe thoroughfare from the bay to Nine-teenth street.

Thus-, after pleading their cause foryears, and importuning the board dozensof times, the efforts of the property -ownersto get an outlet into the Mission for thedistrict south of Market street, has cometo naught, unless the board passes theordinance over the Mayor's veto, as themen who are most interested in the matterhope and believe itwill.

For several years the efforts of thecitizens who desired to drive, but wereprevented by the miserable condition ofthe streets running parallel to Marketstreet, were of no avail. In spite of theirarguments that the south side was beingneglected while north side stieets werebeing improved at a great expense, andthat the value of property on Mission,Howard, Folsom, Harrison and otherstreets was depreciating because of thebad conditions of the streets, the Super-visors refused toact, claiming that therewas no money to be used for Buch a pur-pose, and that Folsom street would haveto stand the worn out basalt pavementuntil the Street Department funds hadaccumulated to a sufficient extent towarrant advertising for bids.

Finally the property-owners prepared amonster petition, to which were signed thenames of a majorityof the landholders onFolsom and adjacent streets, demandingthat some steps be taken to place thestreet in serviceable condition by puttingdown a bituminous pavement. The peti-tioners declared that itwould be an entirewaste of money to repair the present pave-ment, as it had been down in some dis-tricts thirty years or more, was worn out,almost dangerous, and must eventually bereplaced by more modern material.

Under the pressure of these representa-tions, the Street Committee, after lookingcarefully into the funds in the Street De-partment allotments, decided that $35,000could be spared to be applied to this pur-pose. As this was not nearly sufficient tofinish the work, it was decided to spendthat amount, beginning at the bay, makeitgo as far as itwould and appropriatemore for the completion of the work as itbecame available.

Ano~dinance making the appropriationand instructing the Superintendent ofStreets to advertise for bids was accord-ingly drawn up and passed by the boardwithout a dissenting voice. This is themeasure which the Mayor has refused tosign.

The specifications as prepared by theStreet Department weremainly as follows:

The roadway to be excavated to a depth ofeight and a half (BJ^) inches below the sur-face when finished; al decomposed matter

| and debris removed, so that the surface shallbe formed of good, clean material.

The roadbed to be brought to a true arc,with a rise of one (1) inch in three (3) feet

Ifrom the center of the gutter-way to the centerIof the roadway and thoroughly tamped. On

this willbe laid a concrete foundation of notless than six (6) inches in depth, which con-crete foundation shall be composed of one (1)part of Portland cement, two (2) parts ofgood, clean sand and seven (7) parts of cleanrock of the best quality,well mixed and prop-erly laid.

The rock must be either blue or gray sand-stone, or red rock of an approved quality,buteither kind must be clean, hard and durable,

j free from clay or dirt,not subject to disintegra-i tion by the action of air or water, and treeI from seams or marked lines of cleavage. This

rock shall be crushed or broken to an averagesize not exceeding two (2) inches inany direc-tion.Allthe rock shall be hard rock of igneous

character, and shall be such rock only as shallnot lose by erosion and fracture more than25 t>er cent of its original weight upon testingthe same by whac is known as the Rattler test,the said test of rock tobe made inthe Rattlermachine belonging to this City and County, byplacing the said i-ock insaid machine and thesame put in revolving motion at the rate ofnot less than twenty-eight revolutions perminute for three consecutive hours. Allrocklosing more than 25 per cent of Its originalweight shall be rejected as unfit for use.

The cement used shall be of the best quality,and the quantity for each block or crossing tobe hauled to the location of the work in theoriginal packages.

Upon the foundation of concrete shall beconstructed a layer of bituminous rock; said

ilayer to be two and one-half (1%) inches inI thickness after rolling,and to be preparea and

superlaid in the followingmanner:The bituminous rock used shall be of the

best quality, and shall contain not less thantwelve (12) per cent, nor more than fifteen (15)

j per cent of bitumen. The bitumen contained!in the material shall be such that none of it

willvaporize below a temperature of 250 de-•rrees Fahrenheit, and of such a quality as tomake a good cement.

The bituminous rock must also be free fromall coarse sand and pebbles, and free fromclayand vegetable matter. In reducing the rockpreparatory to laving,it shall not be done inopen kettles, or by any other process liable toburn or destroy the oilor bitumen inthe rock.

Mayor Sutro's reasons for refusing toapprove the ordinance were given in avery few words.

"In the present state of the Cityfinances," he said, "Icannot approve thetaking of such a large amount of moneyfrom the City treasury when there ie sucha crying need of funds to keep businessstreets in repair."It would make a deficiency iv the

Street Department funds at the end of thefiscal year, and, besides, the Supervisorshave no right to appropriate money forsuch a purpose out of a fund intended ex-pressly to keep accepted streets inrepair,especially as it is proposed to improve onesection of the City at the expense of oth-ers. For these reasons Ihave returnedthe ordinance without my signature."

A "BOND" SCHEME.ItHas All the Signs of a New Lottery

Proposition.There is a gorgeously gilded office in the

Academy of Sciences building where Dondsare sold on the lottery plan. There areRed Cross bonds and bonds of the WhiteCross. The denominational range is wideand the prospect of winning is thus her-alded. "When the Prince of Monaco takesit into his head to redeem bonds he re-deems them, but he only redeems certainnumbers of all the bonds sold. Now thelucky holders of the luckily redeemedbonds get all the money received fromall the bonds sold. Of course, the princeholds out his commission, but the restgoes to the lucky.

Supervisor Hobbs obtained possession ofquite a quantity of these bonds and placedtnem in the hands of District AttorneyBarnes. The attorney admires the beautyof the bonds. Tne style of the engravinggains his commendation, but he is lookingup the law to prevent thsir further negoti-ation m the San Francisco market. Shouldthe law be clear on the subject an ordi-nance may be drawn for the Supervisorsto consider.

Refused His Approval.The ordinance recently passed establishing

locations for a number of police stations indifferent parts of the City was returned to theBoard of Supervisors yesterday without MayorSutro's signature. It is believed that the

Mayor refused to approve the measure be-cause it contained a location for a station-house on Polk and Washington streets, theordinance for which he recently vetoed.

COVERED BYSTAGE NOWThe Gap in the Southern Pacific's

Coast Line Is Short-ened.

Stages Will Run To-Day BetweenSanta Barbara and the New

Terminal at Someo.

The Southern Pacific Company's coastdivision railway has been extended to So-meo, a small place in Santa BarbaraCounty, eleven miles below Guadalupe, thelast terminus. This new stretch of trackia not destined to lie idle, for this morningregular trains, both passenger and freieht,willbe run over it, and from to-day thenew southern terminal ofthe coast railwaywillbe Someo, until another section of thetrack shall have been completed furthersouth.

Now that the "gap" between Santa Bar-bara and the southern end of the road hasbeen shortened sufficiently to make athrough trip from Los Angeles by thecoast route possible without any degree ofdiscomfort a stage line will be. put in oper-ation. Beginning to-day the stages willmake regular trips between Santa Barbaraand Someo, connecting with trains atbothterminals. The route lies tnrough pictur-esque mountains, and affords the noveltyof a California stage ride, which, it isthought, will be taken advantage of bymany Eastern tourists.

The first stage from Santa Barbara willleave this morning. The day will bespent in a pleasant drive to Lompoc,where the travelers will rest over night.Starting early from Lompoc the stage willreach Someo after half a day's run andconnect with the train coming northwardtoMonterey and San Francisco.

An Eastern excursion train of foursleeping-cars, a composite car, a diner anda baggage-car, with100 passengers, passedthrough ElPaso yesterday and is to arrivein Southern California to-morrow. Theexcursionists willseparate at Colton andscatter throughout California, many ofthem availing themselves of the "newthrough route via Santa Barbara, Monte-rey and the Santa Clara Valley to SanFrancisco. Railroad men say they lookforward to a large increase in tourist travelto this City by this route, which is certainof popularity. And one pleasing featureof the new temptation to travel north-ward is that Eastern tourists willsee someof the prettiest and most prosperous por-tions of California in their ride from Mon-terey through the Santa Clara Valley.

The first large party over the coast routeis expected to come from the excursionthat willreach Colton Sunday.

Some weeks ago Turner went to theBaltimore House in the guise of a mes-senger boy. He knocked at the door of0. T. Dyer and when that gentleman ap-peared he pointed a revolver at his headand demanded his money.Itso happened that Dyer had about $40

inhis pocset. He seized the weapon andrinally secured it, whereupon Turner tookto his heels. Dyer visited Turner whenthe latter waa in Oakland Jail and identi-fied him as the man who had attemptedto rob him.

TREASON IN THE PULPIT

stain the pages of New England's history.Inall these instances the church departedfrom her province, which is to aid the statein making better men.

"The framers of our constitution did notallow considerations of sect or creed tohamper them in their noble task. Whilebowing in reverence to the supreme powerwhich rules the universe, they decreedthat no church should dominate theAmericans of future generations, andplaced themselves on record as believersinthe great truth that religion is greaterthan the church.

"We would all do well to study ourcountry's constitution, and having weighedit well, to look to it as our supreme law.The church must be regarded only as amoral and educational functionary of thegovernment. To believe that any" foreignpower is above our country's laws is to befaithless to our duty as citizens. Topreach so false a doctrine from any pulpitis treason."

Rabbi Voorsanger Is Opposed tothe Domination of the

Church.

Religious Bodies Considered as Educa-tional and Moral Aids to the

Government.

A new solution ofthe church and stateproblem was given by the Rev. Dr. "Voor-sanger in his lecture last night at theTemple £manu-EI. He appeared toignore the supernatural idea of a church,divinelyconstituted and supreme in thedomain of faith and morals, and disap-proved any such claim to spiritualsovereignty on the part of any religious

"There is nothing supreme in this glori-ous country of ours," said the reverendgentleman, "but the constitution. To mymind, all religious organizations aremerely moral agencies for the formationof good citizens. And yet how differentan idea is entertained by many of ourfellow-citizens, and inculcated in numer-ous pulpits.

There is among us a body of believers,claiming to be true and patriotic citizens,while recognizing and obeying a foreignspiritual power. What can we think ofsuch a system? Only this: the tributeof loyalty and submission which this bodyis vowed to pay to its distant sovereignmust detract from their fealty to the con-stitution of our country and make themIpiss perfect citizens."Icould never see any reason for regard-

ing one church as being superior to an-otber. To my mind the Roman church,with its well-regulated and aristocratichierarchy, is on an equal plane with theSalvation Army or any other sect. Allchurches are more or les3 aline. They allteach mildness; and they all have perse-cuted when they had the chance.

THE COUNT CARLOS CINIAn Italian Nobleman Who Has

Come to Greet the Dukeof Abruzzi.

The Count's Story of His Struggles inTaking Wild Game in tl2

Sierra Nevadas.

The notable arrival at the Palace Hotel !yesterday was that of the Count CarlosCmi of Rome. He has been in New York,Colorado and the Sierra Nevada Moun-tains of California, where he has beenhunting and enjoying himself in otherwave.

He has come now to greet the DukeAbruzzi, anold friend, who willarrive herefrom Victoria on an Italian warship.

The Count is a man to cause a flutter inthe hearts of susceptible young maidens.He seems not over2B years old, is of rathermore than medium height, inclining tospareness and has a pleasant, resonantvoice. He wears a closely cropped beardand is altocether what majr be called ahandsome man.

He told the story of his coming yester-day, referring to his friend, the Duke,meanwhile."Iarrived in the country first about four

months ago with the Count dcs Garretts,who is interested in mining," he said. "Ispent considerable time with him, andthen turned my attention to hunting andfishing, for Ienjoy the use of the rod andgun. It was up in the Sierra NevadaMountains. Ihoped tokillsome bear, outwas not fortunate enouph to get any.However, Isucceeded inkilling a numberof deer, and as fine ones, too, asIever saw.Ithought Imight get a few Californialions, but there were none around where I

»was. I,however, got a large number ofdifferent kinds of California wildfowl."Itis my intention to remain hereabout

a month. Iwant to meet the DukeAbruzzi, who is to come down from Vic-toria on Monday."

The Count's card speaks volumes for hisfamily, a« the words indicate not only thename and title, but the palace and streetof the Eternal City,being in full: "ComteCarlos Cini. Palazzo Cmi, Piazzadi Pietra,Rome."

TheCinnas are of the time of the Crcsars,some 2000 years ago. One of them was aprominent co-worker with Mark Antonywhen the latter made his famous speechover the body of Julius Osnr. Another,as willbe recalJed, was a poet, who thoughno relation to the conspirator of his name,was taken for him by the mob, and Buffereddeath. The Count did not say whether ornot his name was slightly modernized fromthis, but at any rate itappears to be as oldand existing fullyas lont; in Rome. TheCount has been lately in the mines.

PAGE BROWN MEMORIALWilliam Keith's Handsome Trib-

ute to His Friend, theArchitect.

WILL BE HUNG IN A CHURCH.

One of a Series of Landscapes to Deco-rate the Swedenborgian

Meeting-House.

When the news of the death of A. PageBrown reached this City it found WilliamKeith putting the body touches or. a bigwood scene for the Swedenborgian Church.The Rev. Dr. Worcester happened to bethe one who first gave the news to thepainter. Keith and Brown had been greatfriends and admirers of each other's worts.Keith was a good deal affected when Dr.Worcester toid him of the architect'sdeath. He laid down his brush and palettefor a time and the philosopher ana thepainter sat down before the glowing coals

in the latter's studio and—

and said nothingfor a while.

"Mr.Brown would have liked that pic-ture," said the philosopher, as he cast alast glance at the dreamy green and yel-low wood scene on the easel before he left.

"Perhap3 he would," said the painter."Iknow he liked that Kind of work."

And all the rest of the day, as he toiledwith his colors slowly on the big canvas,making it more dreamy, putting thoughtand feeling and even a bit of sadness inhis work, with just a tiny patch of hopefulblue sky in the far, far distance, at the endof that long somber path through thewoods, the artist thought of his absentfriend and wondered if he would have ap-proved the picture. And by and by theanswer seemed to come plainly enough,and it was that his friend, the architect,had ever been appreciative. Then a wishcame in the artist's mind to pay some last-ing tribute to his absent friend, and thethought followed itto make this picture amemorial offering.

Dr. Worcester approved of this. Otherfriends of the late architect and membersof the church of which Dr. Worcester ispastor, and for which this picture and someothers were destined to be bung, also ap-proved of it.

And so itwas decided. This picture isto be a memorial to the late A. PageBrown, friend of the artist who painted itand architect of the church in which it isto hang. Mr. Brown was not a member ofthe Swedenborgian Church, but he was thevalued friendof its pastor and of many ofits members. The picture is particularlydesigned for mnrai decoration, and to thisend is given a flat tone, so that no matterhow the light from the windows strike thecanvas the tints and shades show in theirnatural colors and the whole picture isdiscernabJe from any point in the room.

Ablack and white reproduction hardlydoes the work justice. It is done inKeith's best style, and in the blending ofthe shades and tints lies its greatest glory.A. Page Brown would have said, "Itis apicture that willbear looking at, and themore one looks at itthe more one sees."

NOT HIS MONEY ORDER.Arrest of a Stocktonian by the Federal

Authorities for Crooked WorkHere.

Gus Braunschweigger was arreßted atStockton last evening, at his home there,by Chief of Police Kingsbury, on thestrength of a telegram from Postal In-spector Munro stating that the man waswanted in San Francisco for fraudulentlycollecting a money order of $50.Itappears that Braunschweigger came

to San Francisco a few days ago, and call-ing at the Postoffice got a letter for him-

self and also one for a nephew namedEdward. He opened the latter letter anddeposited the money order found in itwitha saloon-keeper until next day, anathen went to the Postoffice, and, gettingsome one to identify him, the order waspaid. He spent the money and returnedto Stockton.

When arrested he said: "When one doesa jig

SUING LUCKY BALDWIN.Sensational Action for $75,000

Pending Against theMillionaire.

LILIAN ASHLEY IS PLAINTIFF

Depositions in the Case Telling th«Story Upon Which the Suit

Is Based.

To the suit of Miss Lilian Ashle>against E. J. Baldwin, there have beenadded three depositions which contain themain allegations in the case against themillionaire. The depositions are those ofDr. J. W. Trueworthy and Nancy C. Dren-nen, who attended Miss Ashley when thechild, of which Baldwin is alleged to bethe father, was born; and also of E. PorterAshley, brother of the plaintiff.

The suit is one brought by Miss Ashleyagainst Baldwin for $75,000 damages forbetrayal. Dr. Trueworthy testified he hadmade a return of the birth to the effectthat itwas Baldwin's child, because themother had told him ouch was the fact.

The nurse, Xancy Drennen, testified tothe same offect, and both witnesses saidthat the plaintiff's reputation was good.

Porter Ashley stated that he came herefrom the East in March, 1893, and that hemet his sister at Arcadia, at which place isBaldwin's Santa Anita ranch. On April19, 1893, he and she came to this City,where they stopped at the Baldwin Hotel,rie left San Francisco June 9of the sameyear. He said he did not pay any billat theBaldwin Hotel, nor did he work duringhis stay in tbe City. Mr.Baldwin hadpromised to give l;im a position in thehotel, but the promise was never fui ilied.He said, further, that Baldwin's businessmanager had offered to help pay his pas-sage East.

While at Arcadia, he said, he and hiasister used to go horseback riding aroundthe ranch (the Santa Anita), but lie neverpaid any of the livery bills. During thattime, he said, Baldwin treated his sisterwith marked attention, but the brothersaw nothing out of the way between them.Sometimes Baldwin took her out riding ordriving, but his attitude toward her wasalways respectful. He used to play cro-quet withher, too.It was on April 16 that Ashby first

Jearned that Baldwin had led the youngwoman astray.

The suit was originally filed by MissAshley in Los Angeles. Itcreated a sen-sation at the time, although but few of thefacts of the case were given to the public.Miss Ashley is the daughter of well-to-doand respectable parents in the East. Shewas born in Royalton, Vt., twenty-sevenyears ago.

Baldwin had the case transferred to theSan Francisco courts, and here itwillbotried. The child was born December 7,1893.

KING'S POOL ORDER.A Substitute Measure for the One Re-

cently Before the Board ofSupervisors.

The jointHealth and Police and LicenseCommittee held a meeting yesterday toconsider the poolroom license ordinancerecently submitted to it by the Board ofSupervisors.

Dr. Filben of the Civic Federation ap-peared before the committee to protestagainst its acceptance. He said itwouldbe an outrage upon the community to givethe sanction of law to the business of sell-ing pools on horse races, and commentedupon the evils resulting from the business.He said it was particularly injurious tominors, but that it should be prohibitedon general principles.

The minister was listened to patiently,and Supervisor King introduced a resolu-tion "providing for and imposing a licenseon commission brokers who receive moneyto place on horse races." Itdiffers fromthe original in that it does not impose alicense on bookmakers engaged in theirvocation at the racetracks.

Those selling pools outside the tracksare required by the proposed ordinance topay a license of$50 a day or $500 a quarter,and minors are prohibited from enteringthe rooms.

Action was postponed until the legalityof the Ellert ordinance, under which anumber of poolsellers were recently ar-rested, is passed upon by the courts.
