a Regular Habitue of Poolrooms and Mar
Who Has No Visibls Means Of
Support.

In the Forty-second Assembly District Of
this city Kelly and Crimmins have nomi-
mated for the Assembly man by the name
of Grant Israel who was a Kelly County
Committeeman, and who has been for
months a hanger-on at the notorious saloon
at Is Third street
Israel is young man. but his reputation
is not of the best In fact he is often in
company with surc-thing gamblers and
top and bottom" men. His associates. as
a rule. are men who conduct wheels OF Tor
tune, sell pools, turn a trick at cards and
conduct other games of that kind IN order
to avoid the necessity of honest work.
Israel is best known at the Red Light
saloon at 2O7 Ellis street. where the polling
place was located at the last Republican
primary. The keeper Of the saloon in ques-
ton. a man named Brown. knows Mr..
Israel to the tune of $50. and is now seeking
to collect the amount due him.
1t seems that at the time OF the primary
Israel was a member Of the County Com
mittee, and it was through his influence
that the polling place was located in
Browns saloon. Brown fancled the pTl-
mary would be source Of revenue to him.
and for that reason was particularly gracious
TO Israel and gave him the liberty OF his
place. The result of it all was that Israel
wanted all his friends to drink largely and
often. and when the day was over the bill
amounted TO about $50.
Brown is still trying to collect It.
One of Mir. IsraePs most striking char
acteTstics is that while having no private
income. or being possessed of assessable
property, he avoids work and still manages
by some means to wear good clothes.
AT one time he was appointed to clerk
lit Nhasza 80 f4fa faN-
through the influence OF certain political
friends, but the task was too lab0rieus, and
lie soon gave it up to his brother, who is
now in the place. Since that time Israel has
not had any visible means Of support, and
spends most of his time about Che saloons
in company with notorious gamblers.
the only qualifications possessed by Mr..
Israel are the facts that he Is trusted tool
of Kelly and Crmnins and is openly for
De Young for United States Senator. He
was selected simply because it was known
that he could be handled and that be was a
man who could be trusted to stand by the
bosses. He Is, In fact, one of the most
familiar figures about 16 Third street, and
is often seen in consultation with Kelly and
Crimmins in the dingy little room in which
Mikes fight ls being made.
Then, too, Israel is very fond of the
poolrOoms and when those sinks Of vice
were running openly he was seen there
almost constantly. How he lived no one
could tell, but he bad money as rule and
dressed we'll 1t was in that way that he
became known to the gambling fraternity
and struck an acqualn tanceship with them
which has ripened into friendship.
There is hardly a "sure-thing" man in
town with whom he 10 not Intimate, and
they are seen with him constantly.
In view of the fact that he has no known
employment il might not be difficult TO
figure out his occupation.

A Curious Coincidence Detected by the
Associated Charities.
The Associated Charities met IN its regu.
lar weekly meeting yesterday afternoon
aud considered the reports of the work of
the past fortnight, no meeting having been
held last Friday owing to the holiday.
The number Of deserving eases OF charity
reported were forty-six of whom twenty
five were married couples. thirteen widows,
one single woman and seven single men.
Eight were referred to the Mayor. four to
the helpers, nineteen TO the San Francisco
Benevolent Society. one 10 tie Plym outh
Circle of Kings Daughters, ten to iudividu-
ais and for four work was found.
The woodward was reported working
successfully. In ell 232 work tickets
had been issued to applicants, of whom 216
had put in an appearance and did four hours,
work each, for which they received two
square meals and place TO sleep.
Ii was stated tngt the benefits Of the wood
yard were becoming more manifest each
day 1t OF only welded out tho men will
ing to work from the genuine tramp but
men wanting laborers visit the yard almost
daily and engage men who show by the test
that they are worthy of confidence.
For the past fortnight the number OF ap-
pIicants for help averaged about thirty a
day, q great many Of whom cursed charity
in all its forms when presented with q
ticket for work. Others quietly took the
tickets but did not present them at the
yard, while still others took them. being
glad to get anything to do.
From reports received from outside cities
il appears that the tramp element has been

five weeks past. but as vet the increase in

large as in former years at this season ofthe
year.

the City and County Hospital Thursday
night, was arrested by Officer Egsn yester-
day and charged with murder. Calhoun
was found working in the hold of vessel
at the foot of Steuart street and was greatly
surprised when Informed that his victim
was dead.
Anderson was one of the crew Of the hay
schooner Express and Calhoun WAS sailor
on board the schooner Horace Templeton.
Both vessels lay at the foot of Third street

quarters Detective cambridge. who re-
ceiyed the report by telephone, understood
that "Cockney" Blake, who was recsntlY
knocked down by Charles Schroeder, had

with murder. This mistake being dlscov-
cred yesterday the charge OF murder against
Schroeder was dismissed by Judge J0ach-
imsen.
Blake sat up IN his cot at the Receiving
Hospital and protested that he was very
much alive. He proved ii by consuming a
bowl of beef tea with considerable relish.
Although his skull was fractured by strik-

Various Phases Of an Important Californian
Industry Ably Considered at the
Annual Session.

TIE annual meeting of the State Hort-
cultural Society was called to order al
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Acting Pres
ident A. /. Bancroft.
The reports of the officers were very en-
couraging. That of the secretary stated that
fourteen new members were enrolled dur
Ing the year, making the total membership
of the society ninety. The subjects which
took up most OF the attention Of the mem
bers during the past twelve months were
preparing plans for improving the markets
for fruits and fruit products by the CO.
operation of the mem berS Of the society and
preparing history of the horticulture OF
the State.
The treasurer's report showed small
balance In favor OF the society.
The following new members were elected
to membership: William II. Price and VIII
lis L. johnson of the faculty OF the stan
ford University, A. 2. Stanton and r. ,.
Chaplin of San Francisco.
Howard Overacker Of Alameda lamented
the fact that reports OF the Eastern fruit
markets. which practically ruled the mar
kets here, were late In reaching the growers
IN California, and as consequence
contracts were frequently made with
Gamers at disadvantage to the
growers. The directors OF the society were
authorized to make arrangements fer more
complete reports of the ruling markets East
as far as the California orchardists were
concerned.
The election OF officers resulted as FOL
lows: Professor E. w. Hilgar1, honorary
president; b. NJ. LIE Long. president; Leon
ard Coates, vice. president; A. /. Perkins,
treasurer; L. j. WicksOn, secretary; board
OF directors-Fred c. Mills, y. 7. BaIchel-
der, j. L. Mosher, E. W. Masin and H.
Overacker Jr
The new president In his address Of &C
ceptance enumerated many reforms and
made a mum Der of suggestions for the ad-
vancement Of the horticulture OF the State.
Among other things be urged the Organi-
Zati on OF a fruit exchange for the marketing
of dried fruits, which he claimed would
have the effect of systematizing the packing
of fruit and would tend TO keen the products
in an excellent condition IL the markets.
also to keep up the standard Of California
fruits ia the consuming centers Of the world,
enhance prices aud encourage the Industry
in many respects.
An interesting paper, prepared by Felix
Gillet Of Nevada City on walnut Graft
ing" was read by the secretary.
j. c. Shian of Niles read paper entitled
