LAW FAVORS THE TA|LORS.
Victims of Suit Clubs Come
to Grief in the Justices
Court.
The Organizers We're Permitted to
Keep Money for Which No
Value Was Given.

Justice of the Peace ]. E. Barry yester-
day decided case of considerable interest
to tailors who have been engaged in run
ming suit clubs, and to persons who have
paid money to them, taking chances on
the scheme.
M. E. Stanford had paid $11 into suit
club in eleven weekly installments, and
G. E. Lawrence paid in like manner $23
into club conducted by Hugh Forgie,
when the operations of the clubs were
stopped, being declared illegal by the
United States Government. The taiIors
engaged in the business refused to return
the money to their patrons, who had re-
ceived no consideration, and Stanford and
Lawrence assigned their claims against
Forgie to J. J. Rauer for collection, and
the Judgment rend cred yesterday was that
of test case upon which thousands of
dollars which has peen paid into these
clubs depended.
The case was tried some weeks ago and
has been under advisement since then.
Rauer, represented by his attorney,
Perry. claimed that the patrons who had
paid their money in good faith were en-
titled to recover it from the tailor who had
accepted it but who refused to give any
value.
Wickliffe Matthews appeared as attorney
for the tailors, and took the position that
the running of a suit club was a lottery,
and that the same was Illegal and that
money paid into a lottery scheme could
not e recovered.
Justice Barry in his opinion conceded
with this view of the case and decided that
the patrons of suit club were not in any
case entitled to recover their money for
the reason that they were patronizing a
lottery.
A large number of suit club members
have been anxiously watching the case
many having been in attendance at the
trial, with view of beginning proceedings
for recovery Immediately if the judgment
had been in their favor.
As it is, however, thu, tailors seem tc
have the best of it as far as it has gone
and the victims of the insinuating but
defunct suit club will have to accept the
situation or find some other mode OF
procedure.

FOR THE CHALLENGE CUP,
Preparing for the Great Coast
Yachting Regatta on
the Bay.
ENCINALS IN FIRST PLACE.
Bay-A Big Midsummer Inter-
club Race.

Considerable interest now prevails in
yachting circles regarding the coast re-
gatta for the San Francisco challenge cup.
The scheme was first mentioned in the
CALL in the early part of the season when
the design of the cup was decided upon.
The idea of the race originated with Will
Brooks the well-known yachtsman, and it
met Immediately with the hearty indorse-
ment of every amateur sailor on the bay.
The proposition is that the cup shall be
held as perpetual challenge cup and be
raced for once year.
In order to start the racing it was ne
cessary to make some CLUB the trustee of
the prize. and few days ago it was de-
cided to award to the Encinals of Alameda
this distinction. The cup will be delivered
into the hands of Commodore Leonard in
the early part of next week at the Mer-
chants Exchange, or some other public

THE FIRST BURNING.
j. III. SichePs Body Incinerated Yester-
day in the Odd Fellows New
CrematOry.

The first cremation of a human body in
San Francisco took place last evening in
the new crematory of the Odd Fellows
Cemetery. A great deal of interest was
taken in this event by people who regard
incarceration of human remains after
death with favor, as the reduction to ashes
was in the nature of a test, although the
furnace and its hot chambers had been
tried with success on some of the lower
animals.
At the request of DR.. Davidson the re-
mains of j. Il. Sichel, who died recently
were cremated. The doctor was present
and watched the process of cremation, and
with him were Engineer Heinemann of the
Fulton Iron Works, under whose super
vision the furnaces were built and George
r. Fletcher, superintendent of the ceme-
terry; Architect Cahill, who built the Gre
matory, and Frank Gibson, president of
the Alameda County crematory.
The body of Mr.. Sichel was moved into
the hot-air chamber at As p M 1t Law in
a metallic casket, from which the mount
ings had been taken, and presently both
casket and remains began to crumble
Owing to the fact that death had taken place
some weeks before and the remains were
decomposed they could not be removed
from the coffin. Subsequently the ashes
were q mixture of black and white. the
latter representing all that remained of
the metal. No smoke issued from the
chimney. Six hundred pounds of coke
were used and temperature of 200 de-
grees was produced in the hot air cham Der.
In less than two hours only little pile of
ashes lay upon the glowing Dresden tiles

SUED THE SUPERVISORS,
One Firm of Contractors Is
Seeking to Hold Them
Responsible.
They Have Only to Follow
the Law as Laid Down.

One string of the infinite tangle which
bad financiering has brought upon the
City's affairs got into the Justices court
yesterday.
Malloy & Breeder, one firm of con-
tractors, sought to recover $500 at the
hands of Justice of the Peace Groezinger
for goods which they had delivered to the
Almshouse for the sustenance of the old
folks there.
With the knowledge that long train OF
very astute business men who had sold
things to the City and because of certain
clauses in the constit ution had been pre-
vented from recovering the money Frank
Dillon, counsel for the contractors, took
a new tack. He brought the suit against
the individual members of the Board OF
Supervisors.
Now anybody might see at glance how
very interesting the Office of Supervisor
with salary of 500 a month would be
once it became known that the man hold
ing it became personally liable for the
debts of the City, or even for those debts
growing out of supplies furnished its in
situations at their order, seeing that there
are in the hands of these other business
men claims to the amount of several hum
dred thousand dollars.
City and County Attorney Creswell filed
demurrer to the complaint, declaring
that the Supervisors were not liable for
the debts of the City. and the argument
took place yesterday afternoon, and Jud ge
Groezinger sustained the demurrer, not to
the tremendous relief of the members of
the board, for they were not worried about
the matter at all.
Judge Groezinger held that the law made
the duties of the Supervisors clear. They
were required to let contracts, and to pro-
vide Tor the sustenance of the several in
situations from the public funds, and that
so long as they did not go beyond the
limits OF these provisions of the law govern
ing their conduct, they could not be held
privately liable for their public acts.
1t is altogether probable that the case
City and County Attorney Creswell is
entirely confident of his position, however.

CAPTURE OF A MAN-EATER.
Al Cumming Lands q Monster Shark
While Fishing for Salmon.

Al Cumming returned from Santa Cruz
yesterday and he is more than delighted
with the sport he has had catching salmon
in that bay. His greatest catch was shark
that weighed 176 pounds. Mr.. Cumming
says that shark-fishing as a sport is far in
advance of salmon-fshing He hooked
the tiger of tie deep when angling for
salmon, and it took him exactly
one hour and twenty three minutes
to land his prize. The shark made most
Stubborn resistance and frequently ran out
ITO yards of line, but to the careful hand
ling of the experienced angler the mon
ster succumbed and was GATED and landed
in the most approved style. Cumming
used bamboo bass rod of about
eight feet in length, and the
reel of the latest design which held 600
feet of strong linen line. 1t was well
tested on this occasion and proved to be
the kind exactly answerable for
deep-sea fishing. Upon inspection it was
found that the shark had several fish from
six to twelve inches in length in his
stomach. Cumming says that for sport
the capture of a shark is more interesting
and exciting sport than any other kind Of
fishing. He will tackle the game again in
a few days.

jury lasted about two minutes and it took
the jury three minutes to return verdict
of mot guilty" Wong Suey was accord
ingly discharged.
