SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.
Local Quakers to Hold a Reunion
This Evening.
Missionary From Pennsylvania Who
Is Abroad Looking Up Widely
Scattered Quakers.

Jonathan E. Rhoads. minister of the
religious Society of Friends in Phila-
delphia, proposes to hold religious
meeting tonight at 7:45 at the rooms of
the Young Womens Christian Associa-
ton, l0l1 Ninth street, between j and h.
Mr.. Rhoads is an intelligent, cultivated
and prepossessing gentleman. Herepre-
sents what are commonly known as
Quakers. They are eminently the people
of peace. Their doctrine is non-re-
sistance; war is abhorrent to them and
peace Is the suggestion of paradise.
They believe in simplicity of garb, even
severity of costume, and in biblical
speech using thee and thou instead of
you, that pride may not be engendered
and vanity given rein.
Mr.. Rhoads' mission to California is to
gather the few Quakers that there may
be in this State and recall them to their
old love and their families to the tradi-
lions of their fathers. His society is not
PROSECUTING chuch. 1t does not seek
converts for its own ranks, but gladly
welcomes them; it is content to advocate
holiness and righteousness and faith in
the Redeemer, and ii those who accept
the doctrine OF the Friends 90 to this,
that or the other church, Catholic or
Protestant, makes no difference TO the
patient, accomplishing Quakers.
The Society Of Friends was founded by
George Fox in 1910 lis most distin-
guished leader in America was William
Penn, whose devout life and sincere be-
lief in the virtues and delenses of peace,
gave TO Philadelphia the title of the
Quaker City"
There are in the United States about
5000 QuakerS, and for twenty years
their number has remained about the
same. In California and Oregon Mr..
RhOadS hopes to find as many as 800
AS TO whether there are any in Sacra-
mento he does not know. Ii there are he
begs them TO attend the meeting tonight
He invites not only the general public
bat he also asks all who are of Quaker
descent to consider themselves for
family tradition to be especially invited
Mr.. Rhoads is what in ot"er churches
would be called missionary. lie speaks
of himself only as friend OF men, who
is sent out to gather the brethren of the
Society Of Friends together, since they
base become so widely scattered with
the rapid settling up OF the country.
IL Is the custom Of luakerS to assemble
for meetings and to sit silently unit the
splrltmOVeS someone TO speak, they be-
lieving that the spirit moves men to
speech III religious gatherings, and that
until so moved upon they should wait
patiently. 70 any who have attended a
Quaker meeting, the impressive SOL
emnity of this prayerfGl waiting and
thinking Will be recalled, and they viii
not forget how deeply it sunk into their
hearts as they waited. that these kind,
patient, trusting, simply clad people were
IN all sincerity true and loyal to their be-
lief and humbly trustful in the All-wise
God.

OCHUL7Z'S JAMBOREE.
The Young Jewelry Drummer Tells
His Story to a Jury.
Acquitted of the Charge of Embezzle-
ment After Telling His Experi-
ence With the ssTiger.,,

E. Schultz, the young jewelry drum
mer who created something of a sensation
here some time ago by attempting to
blow out his brains, after losing all of his
and his employers money at faro, was
tried yesterday on charge of embezzle-
ment.
Ex-Judge D. J. Toohey of San Fran
cisco defended the young man, while
Deputy District Attorney Buckley con-
Quoted the prosecution. The jurors sworn
to try the cause were L. P. Gilman,
Hiram Cook. L. Warner, w. d. Lawton,
Peter BOIL, n. Dufey, II. NJ. LaRue, A.
Walter, S. w. Butler, Jacob Heintz, o..
s. Flint, II. w. Mayhem.
George Greensweig of San Francisco,
Schultz's employer, testifi ed that the
first he knew of the young man going
wrong was when the latter attempted to
kill himself The witness came to this
city and saw Schultz at the County Hos
pital. The young man told him he had
pawned large quantity Of his samples
and had lost the money at faro.
Isaac Zemansky, pawnbroker, testi-
ned that Schultz sold him the jewelry
outright for S769, and he produced a bill
of sale showing that such was the case.
his story. He said that early in May
last he was travelling for Greensweig and
stopped in Sacramento. He visited the
gambling place at Second and X streets
and lost all of his money playing faro.
The next day he pawned for 500 num-
Der of watches at Zemansky's place and
went back to the faro rooms. He had
better luck this time and made sufficient
OF winning to redeem his samples.
Some twenty days later the young man
said he was in Sacramento again on bust
ness. Again did he buckle on his amor
and attempt to Stay the tiger" He lost
all OF his own money and the money
given him by his employer for travelling
expenses. But this did not discourage
him, and he once more sought his
uncle" Zemansky. He put quantity
ofjewelry up for 500 and hurried back
to the gaming rooms fully believing
that he would regain his losses. But he
didn't. He lost again. And again he
sought Zemansky, getting more money
and putting up more jewelry. Still he
lost He went to Zemansky again, he
said, for another loan, but the pawn
broker refused unless Schultzwould give
him bill of sale for the jewelry. Schultz
said he was given to understand by Ze-
mansky that this was only "a matter of
form," and that he could have the jewelry
back within thirty days by paying the
interest. The defendant said he agreed
TO this, and taking this last installment of
money tried his luck once none. Again
he lost. Then he became desperate. He
was half craz2d from liquor, and realizing
what he had done, resolved to Kill him
self He pawned his oYercoat and with
the proceeds purchased a pistol. He tried
to take his life, but made a bad job of it.
The jury evidently believed that
Schultz had suffered enough for his folly
and found verdict of acquittal.

He Is A FRAUD.
A Confidence Man Who Works the
Old Soldier Racket.
After Securing Money From Charitable
People, lie Turns Out TO be
Denver Fraud.

For several days mediuIn-siZed man
wearing a Grand Army badge has been
seen on the streets with one-year- old
child in his arms. To those whom he
approached he told very pitiful story of
how his wife had taken sick while on the
way up from Los Angeles: that when
they arrived at Benicia he was compelled
to stop over with her, and that after
lingering few days she died, leaving
him broken-hearted with little mother
less babe to care for.
To Acknowledgement Allen he related
his troubles, saying that the Grand Army
posts had sent him to the General for as
sistance, etc. The General went down
into his pockets for financial aid, and
also gave the man letter to Major Vein
stock with the request that he see Rail
road Superintendent Wright with the
view of sending him to Salt Lake. his
objective point.
On Monday evening last Henry Blohm,
alias II. Bloohmer, alias II. Di Blohm,
who has since his arrival in the city
proved that the motherless child story is
an excellent racket TO work, called on
Geo. w. Ficks, Chairman Of the Grand
Army Relief Committee, and showed
Mr.. Ficks closely questioned the man
concerning his army and Grand Army
record and also as to what post he was a
member of. Blohm said he belonged to
Garfield Post of Denver. He was then
dismissed and invited to call the next
day at noon, which he did very promptly,
but only to be confronted with dispatch
from Denver stating that he was a fraud
of the first water.
Blohm boarded the overland train on
Tuesday evening for the East. While
settling his board bill before going to the
train he displayed good-slzed sack Of
money, showing that the benevolently
inclined had PANIED out well.
Notices We're sent yesterday to the
Grand Army posts between here and
Ogden to be on the lookout for the fraud,
Mr.. Ficks says the Grand Army peo-
pie desire that whenever any person
claims to be an old soldier and appeals
to the public for assistance, he be sent at
once.to the Grand Army, by which body
his case will be looked after.

BILLIARDS FIGHT.
A Big Disturbance Which Broke Up a
Game of Whist.

A Big Disturbance Which Broke Up a
Game of Whist.
John Billiard appeared before Judge
Cravens yesterday for sentence, having
been found guilty by jury on Tuesday
for disturbing the peace.
The evidence in the case showed that
Billiards. offense consisted Of interrupt
ing game of whist in saloon at Twen-
ty-fifth and o streets. He challenged one
of the players out into the street, as
sumed the attitude OF pugiIiSt, put UP
his props" ana waltZed around in a
circle, frothing at the mouth and bowling
for gore.
His man met him in the arena, and all
the society from the saloon gathered near
to see the blood fly.
After all this Billiard wouldn't fight,
no one was hurt, and everybody was dis
appointed. SO the barkeeper had Bull
lard arrested for disturbance of the
peace, and presumably for disappointing
his friends.
Judge Cravens thought that as Billiard
had been in Jail for ten days, and had
relatives dependent upon him for sup
port, that he was punished sufficiently
for fighting, which he didn't do, so he
suspended judgment and let the warrior
loose.

DRuGGED OR DRINK.
An Old Woman, Eastward Bound.

An Old Woman, Eastward Bound.
stops Over in Chinatown.
An elderly woman was found by Spe-
cial Officer Greer yesterday evening,
either intoxicated or stupid from the ei-
fects of being drugged, on 9Third street,
between / and j. When found she was
seated on bench in front of a Chinese
opium den and surrounded by tramps
and Chinese.
One of them had removed ring from
her finger and was examining it when
Greer appeared. The woman, who APP
pears to be about 90 years old, was taken
to the police station, and a satchel con-
tanning her purse. spectacles, a silver
thimble and a bank book were found.
From the book her name appears to lie
Ann Wheeler, and she has deposit OF
something over 81 900 in the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank of this city, from
which she has drawn small sums amount
ing to something over Sl22.
She stated that she was going East to-
day, and just stopped at Chinatown tc
get a little fresh air. Had she not been
discovered she would have been relieved
Of all her Valuables.

ALL WE'RE DRUNK.

Hence Dan Sullivan Escaped From the
Charge of Battering Stewart.
Dan Sullivan, ex-barkeeper at the City
Hotel dispensary, was tried before Judge
Cravens yesterday for battery. on COM
plant of Jack Stewart.
1t was apparent from the evidence that
there had been fight, in which old man
Stewart was set upon by three or four
men in the alley at the rear of the saloon,
and that he was about half killed, but
there was such a prevalence OF beer
among the witnesses that the truth had
not much show.
A woman living near saw the fight, and
testified that she saw Stewart fighting
with two other men, when Sullivan came
ont and struck Stewart number OF
blows. and did not stop battering him
until she threw several pitchers of water
on Sullivan.
Several of Sullivan's witnesses were
remarkably consistent in their tales that
Sullivan only took hand to stop the
tight. and insisted that Sten>r started
the row.

China OR MICHIGAN.
Whence Cane the Batch Of Mexican
Cinnamon
They VIII be Turned Over Ivy Warden
Au!l to Marshal Long Efforts
to Release Them.

The little band Of Cinnamon who have
been imprioned at the Folsom Peniten-
tiary for the last twenty days, for having
violated the Restriction Act, will be
turned over by Warden Aull to United
States Marshal Long this morning, who
Will take them to San Francisco on the
afternoon train. There the squad will be
turned over to Collector Phelps, who has
been instructed by the United States
Attorney General to have them returned
to China.
1t is more than likely, however, that a
writ Of habeas corpus viii be applied for
by Major w. A. Anderson, who has been
retained by Chinese to try and procure
the discharge OF the men. Major Ander-
son stated last night that such action
would probably be taken here to-day, on
the arrival of the prisoners, but it NAV
not be done until they reach San Fran
cisco.
These Cinnamon constitute q portion of
some 300 or 400 who were imported into
Mexico to work on railroad being con-
structed there. The camp was attacked
by sickness and the Chinese died like
sheep during an epidemic. Those now
at Folsom struck out for the American
| border, but were waylaid by the cow
boys and desperadoes that haunt that sec
ton and robbed of every dollar they had,
some 81 600 or 81 200.
The plundered Cinnamon were then
arrested for crossing the border and taken
to San Diego, where they were taken be-
fore United States Commissioner Ward.
who sentenced them to twenty DAYS inn
prlsonment at hard labor for violation of
| the Restriction Act.
Their term expires this morning, and
Warden Aull will turn the men over to
Marshal Long as above stated.
Major Anderson claims that these Chi
nese were not taken direct from China TO
Mexico, but were sent to the latter place
| from the State of Michigan, and that the
Government has no right to hold them as
prisoners nor send them out of the coun-
try.
1t is evident that strong effort will be
made to secure their release, and that the
Federal authorities will have the usual
racket in the courts before they succeed
in disposing OF the Mongolians
