that he obtained SO at two separate times
from man named Taylor, In LOs Angeles,
70 be used IN paying the fare Of three of his
Dieces, who were then in the Sheltering
Home here, to Los Angeles. Instead Of 50

right. Referring to Theobald, be said
''IheCbald IS regular Pooh Bah. When
We 60 to him as secretary Of the society TO
find out about any Of the funds that he has
received lie says that they were turned over
70 the treasurer, and there we are stuck be-
cause IheObald himself is the treasurer.
We have a dozen indictments Of embeZZle-
nfeDt against him, but We must get hold
Of his books before the warrant can be is-
sued"

In reply to all this TheoDald says that the
money sent by Taylor was only S35, and
that it Is properly accounted for in the
books. He further says that he is prepar-
ing statement Of the entire workings Of
the society that will thoroughly yindicate
him. Thpobald believes that there is an
organized effort to down him.
Before Stevens surrendered himself he
went TO the City Hall and asked for the
warrant sworn out against him by DR.. Car
penter. 1t was found among some old
Fspers aud had evidently been given
out to be served, although it was an
nOunced that il had been sent to Chief
Crowley Of San Francisco. Stevens is now
In jail.
Secretary Theobald made a somewhat
startling statement last night, giving it as q
reason for the present agitation in the HUI
name Society. 1t was to the effect that Dr.
Carpenter was witness of the celebrated
badger fight at Joe Dieves', and that Car
penteT and DleVes have conceived a plan to
ruin the society out OF revenge for Theo-
bald's action In regard to the fight He
declares that there were two fights, one Of
which was at O'Clock, for the special ed. f.
cation OF Carpenter and few other choice
spirits. lie has positive proof Of this, he
saws, and viii have Carpenter arrested.
