Watkins is twenty-three years of age, and

When arrested the prisoner had IS in his

lnsolvent. while yet a member OF the wine
firm, was interested IN some of the deals
of the company, and $363, 900 of his debts
are cha~geable to these transactions.
Wells, + argo & Co.'S bank holds a note for
S15000O, and Kohler, together with the
other mem bers of the firm, are on the note
as sureties. Each signed in his individual
capacity and so the entire amount must
figure as one OF Hans Kohler's liabilities.
There was another transaction, land
deal involving $213,0O0, and guaranteeing
the fulfllment of the contract
of purchase and the payment of
the purchase price, the firm again
pacity. Among them is Hans Kohler, and
thus another item of $213, 900 is added to
his sum OF unpaid accounts.
There still remains balance of over S16,-
0C0, however. and these are Kohler's own
debts. They represent any number of ex-
pensive bills, and In the list of creditors
the ieweler and the restaurant keeper
figure. This $4,000 represents that amount
over and above the fortune which Hans
Kohler inherited from his father. What
he received has been variously estimated
at from 5000, 900 TO 1925. 900, but it is not
probable that he actually inherited any
thing like that sum. But whatever it was
it is all gone, and only heap of unpaid
paper remains.
Another item in the list is a note for
$4,000 held by Mrs. Eliza kohler, mother
Of the merchant, and another for $4,000
held by the firm. These notes represent
the end of the transactions which finally
ended in Hans Kohler's retirement from
the firm OF Kohler IL Frohling. He was
owner of third interest in the firm, from
which he derived an income of FROM $500
to $1,000 month. His exit from the COM
pany was sudden and complete, and not
wit t,cfo he
accounts had been balanced he gave bis
note for $4,000 and got out. This was
after he had become surety on the big
accounts which form such large proper
ton OF his debts.
Kohler's exit from the firm occurred in
August last and since then his affairs have
been in the hands of his attorney, Addison
E. Shaw. Mr.. Shaw has been trying to
straighten things out, but some of the
creditors showed disposition to sue for
their money and it was then that insolv-
ency became Kohler's only recourse.
Hammersmith d Field, the jewelers.,
were the most lmportunate creditors and
they finally assigned their $500 account to
d. A. Curtin and bade him sue. This pre-
cipated matters and before the other credi-
tors could do likewise, Kohier applied to
the courts.
His principal Liabilities, outside of the
two big items mentioned above, are: Eliza
Kohler, note, $4,000; Kohler & Frohling,
note, 5000; Hammersmith & Field, $215;
Raphael. We'll & Co., $50 so; George C.
Shreve & Co., $3.50; w. c. Davis, note, $500;
E. Marx. note, $500.
Kohler has not dollar that he can call
an asset. He is working for salary in
the employ of the wine association and he
will not be able to pay one cent on the
dollar. He will be relieved from liability
on his Endorsement of the Wells-Fargo note
and the $213, 900, and that after ali is his
principal reason for petitioning to be de-
clared insolvent.

zens; that the department had been al
lowed a liberal sum of money, and that the
Grand Jury ought to see how the money is
expended, and that | would be pleased to
help him or his fellow-mem bers in any
way.
subsequently l met George T. Gaden,
and supposing he was member OF the
Merchants Association explained to him
the workings and condition of the depart
ment and suggested that the association to
which he belongs make an investigation.
Afterward it came to my knowledge that
he is a member of the Civic Federation.
His association is welcome to inquire into
the department.
"After that called on F. w. Dohrmann,
president of the Merchants Association,
and told him what had told MIR. Gaden,
and he appeared to be very much inter-
ested and seemed pleased at the suggestion
to have a committee of his association
make an investigation. After that spoke
to other members of the association and a
committee on behalf of the association is
making an investigation. The gentlemen
of this association are deeply interested in
municipal matters and report from them
will have good deal of weight.

charges is the work of Buckley. Wiley

A MISSION FOR BAD BOYS
John Currie, the Scotch Evan.
gelist, to Start One in
This City.
To Convert Street Urchins and Get
Them TO Build Up Their Own
Congregation.

John Currie, the Scotch evangelist, has
returned TO this City for the purpose of
starting a mission with the intention of
working among people of the class he be-
longed to before he quit footracing for a
living. Twenty years ago Mr.. Currie' s
name was as well known as any in the
sporting world, but, about eighteen years
ago, he became converted in Canada and has
since been doing evangelical work particu-
larly among the class from which the
criminal element is recruited. On account
of his early associations he has always
been able to get nearer to these people
than most men in the church. He knows
them and their ways and habits of
thought.
II look upon pugilists, sporting men,
the young men and boys of TIE tougher
element as all men of force necessarily,
but force turned in the wrong direction.
They are harder to reform, but when they
do turn in the right direction are more
powerful for good than any other Glass;
Over in Scotland in 1893 Mr.. Currie cre-
ated quite a sensation while working
among the Glasgow toughs by converting
Johnny Hilley, who had been champion
lightweight prize-fghter Of Scotland, and
Robert Hindle, the old champion foot
racer. Hindle in 1864 won prize offered
by Currie in a 440-yard race in 40 seconds.
Mr.. Curre in speaking of his plans said !:
"What want to do is TO get building to
be used as mission, where the street
urchlns and young toughs can be gathered
and made to feel that it is theirs. In
Brooklyn, where was for two years doing
this work, the boys who came in were my
most active leutenants. l remember the

the right to call the Governor to give evil
dence as to the defendants character.
The principal witness for the defense
yesterday was Nathan c. Hanscom. HIS
testimony was that Matt Jones once
met him on the street, pulled out a roll of
some kind and proposed a counterfeiting
business scheme. This was substantially
the same testimony he had given on the
former trials.
Mr.. knight called Hugh Parry of Lin
coin, CAL, to disprove the Harsin story.
Parry said he knew Harsin in Iowa in
1884, and that the latter told him when
they met again in Stockton that he was
going to San Francisco to testify for
Howell. Said Parry in substance:
"Harsin told me he was going to help
Howell out of the scrape, as Jones had dis
appeared; that Howell had been a good
friend, and he did not want to see him 60
under, and that Howell was to pay Harsin
$1,000 for his testimony"
1t came out that there had been some
correspondence between the witness and
Secret Service Agent Harris as to what
testimony the witness would give.
The examination of j. w. Gilgert for
the Government, was concluded. Gilgerts
evidence amounts to his having met Har-
sin once, and the latter saying that
Howell was guilty"
No action at 8 Il was taken by the Federal
Grand Jury yesterday respecting any per-
son connected with the Howell case.

not in politics. Shortly after his return

with him. He said he wanted me TO put a
certain man in the department. l told
him that man was going on, but not for
him, as he had been promised position
at the request Of then Supervisor Dundon.
| took occasion to say to Buckley that the
department was no longer in politics, and
that it was not run as it was when he went
away from here. He said he was very
glad to hear that, but it was not long be-
fore he sent for different men and COM
menced to give them orders as to what he
wanted them to do in their respective dis
tricts. One of the first men he sent for
was Jim Buchanan of engine 8.
'Jim came TO me and told me what
Buckley wanted him to do, and | told him
not to do it. He said that he did not know
but some change had been made in regard
to politics. He was told that no change
had been made and if he wanted to retain
his place he had better let politics alone,
and he did.
"There were others who did not pay at
tention to the rule and took their orders
from Buckley. Six or eight of these were
called to account and were quietly dropped
from the department roll. That showed
the others that we meant what we said
about being out Of politics, and that was
stopper to receiving orders from Buckley" !"
