THREE GIRLS In PERIL.

Sweet Sixteeners Promenading on the
City Front.
Three little maids from school, would
have been apparently the most fitting descrip-
tion Of the gay, giddy trio who were escorted
from Vallejo street to the North HarbOr
police station by Officers Egan and Dwyer
last evening. Not one of the girls seemed
to be more than 16 years old, and they were
greatly surprised and distressed when they
were conducted 10 a cell and charge Of
vagrancy placed against them.
Katie Cuneo admits that she is Just about
sweet IS. and lives with her mother on Mont
gomery street, near Broadway. AS the
mother undertook to look after Katie in
future the girl was released.
Lizzie Ross claimed to be IS. and mar
red woman at that. She SAID she was the
wife Of a cook now serving on a steam
whaleT, and that she lived in a small CANDY
store on Eighth street. 1t was learned that
Lizzie is married, and she, too, was set at
liberty.
Ii was different with Mary Casassa. the
daughter of August Casassa. the collector
of an Italian benevolent society. Mary had
been away from home three weeks, and her
father directed her to be kept 10 custody
till this morning. To CALL reporter Mary
said that she had been living with Mrs
Grenella, On Maryland street, near Broad
way, and the Cuneo girl was neighbor Of
tile latter. Mary denied that she had mis-
conducted herself during the interval but
admitted that she would be glad to get back
home again

stantial reduction on the above rates is
made. The total expenses of the commits

placed at the low figure of $1,000. These
sums, together with the amount to be paid

THE CALIFORNIA CLUB.
It's Annual Election VIII Take Place

It's Annual Election VIII Take Place
This Month.
The directors of the California Athletic
Club held a very breezy meeting last even
ing, which kept the officers in session 81
hours.
There was much said and accomplished
which the representatives of the press did
not obtain. The board was composed Of
Dean. Chesley. Ross, Valentine, Leek,
Morse, Fulda and Gibbs.
After a long and spirited discussion it
was decided finally that the election of Off
GERS for the ensuing year will be held on
the oath inst. the evening Of the Smith and
Hawkins fight.
The nominating committee viii be re-
Quested to produce full ticket of officers
at next Monday evenings meeting of the
board, as Morse and Mclaughlin, whose
names appear on the regular ticket, have
refused to serve owing to business matters
which will occupy their entire time.
A resolution was passed that all members
entitled to vote on election day must be
representatives, of the club in good stand
ing from September ! Of last year until the
present time 1t is thought that there are
in the vicinity OF 200 names on the books of
men WbO viii have the privilege of voting.
There are ABOUT 500 passive members. which
means men who pay monthly dues to witness
club exhibitions, but who are not entitled
10 club privileges.
The following questions will be posted on
the clubs bUlletIn-board to be voted upon
the evening of election:
No. 1-Shall elected officers be installed the
day following election? No 2-Snal present
officers be continued 10 Office for 30 days alter
election?
These are uDquestionably rather peculiar
questions, as il has heretofore been the
custom OF the club to have the new board of
officers get down to business Immediately
after election. II would seem rather an in
justice to the bew board to have the old
board transact its business for any length
of time after election, as the members must
hold the new board responsible for the
CLUBS management from The moment the
new officers take their seats.

Australia recently, will be transferred to

copied BedelPs offer TO manage the PROP
erty, at that time valued at $780, 200. Sub
sequently he married one of plaintiff s
daughters. In February. 1891, he induced
her to sign a final account for the Probate
Court, in which 1t was represented that
there was DO cash on hand, that she had re-
ceiyed as commissions $3.50 43, and had
also received and paid out for expenses

those items are false. She never received
any commi ssions as Administrative, and
Bedell had received fully 100000 from the
estate. of which not more than $4,000 was
ever discussed.
Pending the hearing plaintiff asks that
defendants be epjoined from disposing of
