Asensatfon has been caused by the dis coyery of evidence which indicates that William Gay of Norwich. now serving out a tWenty-one months sentence for burglary in the state prison, is innocent. Gay was convicted on circumstantial evil dence, the clinching fact being that coat belonging to him was found in the bur- glarized store at Fitchville. A Preston dress-maker says she received as pres ent some of the stolen silk handk erchiefs from a young man who waited upon her, and who teld her he tried to sell cigars stolen at the same time in Jewett City, and threw lot of stolen shoes back of a wall. Inquiry and search resulted in 8 cofroboration of the woman's story. It is probable the board of pardons will be sssked to release Gay. It is also in evil dSnee that the coat was not Gays.

TEMPTING SCHOOLGIRLS.
Edward NJ. Barnes, an Attorney From
Ukiah, in an Awkward Predica-

A charge of disturbing the peace against
E. M. Barnes, alias O. III. Johnson, is on
the calendar of Judge Conlan's court, but
the Judge and Prosecuting Attorney Nor
gan are of the opinion that more serious
charge should be entered against him.
Complaints were made to Policeman
McGrew on Wednesday last by the teach
ers of the Starr King Primary School that
a mlddle-aged man had been lettering
round the school and trying to make APP
pointments with some of the girl pupils.
He had given them candy and money and
had invited them to accompany him to a
vacant house on Townsend street.
The officer stationed himself near the
school, and it was not long before he saw
the man in conversation with some of the
girls. One of the teachers told McGrew it
was the same man, and he started across
the street. AS soon as the man saw him
he ran, but was overtaken at Fifth and
Brannan streets.
The man proved to be Barnes, who told
the police he was commercial traveller for
a Brannan-street wool house. He was
booked for disturbing the peace, and in
court offered to plead guilty and pay a
fine. lie was released on bail and the
hearing of the case was fixed for to-
morrow.
Barnes was formerly an attorney in
Ukiah, and his fondness for female society
got him into trouble, as he was. once pep
pered with birdshot by an angry mother.
He married there, and subsequently went
to Alturas, where he served for one or two
terms as District Attorney.

TAMALPA|S CLUB SEASON.
Its Annual Business Meeting
and Election of
Officers.
The Extensive Preserve VIII Be
Stocked With Foreign Game
and Fish.

The annual election and business meet
ing of the Tamalpais Sportsmen's Club
took place yesterday and most enthusi-
astic gathering of sportsmen it proved to
be.
The officers who will attend to the af-
fairs of the club for the ensuing year are:
J. W. Sperry, o. G. Miller, Otto Muser,
William Berg, John Tallant, John Berger,
H. A. Cobb Jr., E. G. Rodolph and W. G.
Brown.
The club has renewed its lease for the
next five years of the magnificent preserve
which includes several thousand acres of
timber and open lands and is well stocked
with game of divers kind.
The Tamalpais Club ranks second to the
famous Country Club, which controls the
shooting and fishing rights of great
stretch of country IN the vicinity of Olema,
Marin County.
In speaking of the future intentions of
the Tamalpais Club, one of the directors
said Yesterday that the stocking of the
preserves with foreign game birds was one
of the first things suggested and that an
effort will be made to procure grouse,
woodcock, partridge and pheasants, all of
which variety of game fowls, it is ex-
bers if che proper precautions are taken to
protect them from the attacks of poachers
and other dangers. The keepers have ex-
terminated large numbers OF wildcats,
foxes, coons and other vermin which
proved very destructive to the game of the
preserve prior to the time the club secured
the shooting and fishing privileges from
the Throckmorton estate.
The lagoon, which now contains splen-
AID c,DDIy Of front will no rastooEad u,;+b
several kinds of game and food fishes.
The cutthroat, brown and New Hampshire
trout will be given an opportunity of
basking in the deep and shaded pools of
the stream which empties into Bolinas
Bay.
Owing to the many opinions received
from experts who have made the habits of
trout study, the future doings of the
brown trout will be watched with particu-
lar interest by the members of the club
whose principal amusement is that of
angling.
Authorities on matters piscatorial con-
tend that the brown or Won Behr trout
will not depart from fresh water streams
to the ocean at a season of the year when
the anadromous Observation-Disclosures and
rainbows. so called-are to be found only
in salt water-that is, excepting where
they become landlocked.
John Berger stated that striped bass of
from one to two pounds in weight have
been seen recently in the mouth of the
lagoon, and he is of the opinion that in
the near future the bass wilt afford magni-
ficent sport to the anglers, as they are
annually increasing in numbers.
The club proposes to hold grand bulls
head. breakfast in honor of the newly
elected officers at its clubhouse in few
weeks, and it goes without saying that
the affair will be the Inaugural ton OF
season of grand sport and pleasure to the
members and invited guests.

IT WAS MEDICAL ETHICS,
Physicians Who Object to
Their Rate of Fees Being
Cut Down.
A fractional Fight Narrowly AVerted
In the San Francisco Medi-
cal Society.

A few astute members of the San Fran
cisco City and County Medical Society mar
rowly averted conflict in the ranks of
the organization at the monthly meeting
last evening.
At the August meeting of the society DR..
kaufman, the president of the organiza-
ton, presented the measure that was re-
sponsible for the trouble. 1t was set of
resolutions of about the following import
That in the City and County of San Francisco
and in the ranks of the society are number
of men connected with the so-called dispense
ries and medical institutes that abound, and
that these institutions charge from 81 month
to 81 per annum for treatment for all charac-
tiers of diseases.
That their charges are totally inadequate for
the support of legitimate business, that there
are large number of physicians in San Fran
cisco who have families dependent on them
for support, and that the competition of these
institutes does not permit them to make what
their education entities them to.
That 1t is against the ethics of the American
medical fraternity that such institutions
should flourish, or reputable physicians en-
gage in them.
The resolutions closed by stating that it was
the sentiment of the society that its members
be not connected with such institutions, and
that other medical societies in San Francisco
be requested to pass similar resolutions.
The matters was laid over until last
night, when DR.. Kuhlman made an effort
to have the measure adopted, but in vain.
The majority was with him, but the
minority was resourceful and determined

water probably for long period, as the

water probably for long period, as the
wood was soaked through.
No inquest has yet been held, as DR..
Godfrey, the experimenting physician,
desires to push his Investigations further
regarding the cause of the coffin being
found in the lake.
The physicians in charge at the hospital
have theory that it was body taken
from grave in the hospital cemetery for
the purpose of anatomical study. The
supposed medical student evidently de-
sired to study only the skeleton, and chose
a grave some years closed. On opening
the coffin he found more flesh remaining
on the bones than he expected, and so
covered the body with a preparation of
lime bored holes IN the coffin to admit
water and sank it in the lake that the ac-
ton of the water on the lime might hasten
disintegration. However, no evidence of a
weight having been attached was found on
the coffin.
An investigation was made in the hospi-
tai cemetery, and many of the graves were
probed.
One grave was found violated, that of a
sailor named John Wolfe, who died in the
year 1892, of paralysis, and was buried
there.
The coffin is built like other hospital
collins and is OF the same material. With
its contents it now lies in the rushes near
the margin of the lake.
The piece removed from the skull was
made by two cuts at right angles to each
other, one vertical down through the
parietal bones, the other horizontal cleav-
ing through the occipital at the base of the
brain. The work was neatly done but in
a different manner from that physicians
usually employ to lay bare the brains in a
post-mortem examination. In such cases
the forward cut is begun nearer the eye
brows. The physicians think the piece was
taken out merely to allow the en-
trance of the water. The remains were
not otherwise mutilated.
A portion of a vest of coarse texture
lay across the chest of the corpse.
The water in the lake sinks several feet
during the dry season. This may have
been instrumental in bringing the coffin
to the surface.

SUTRO'S GIFT ACCEPTED
Only One Regent Voted Against
the Mayors Magnificent
Offer.
DR.. COLES EARNEST EFFORT.
The Library Building VIII Be Fin
ished Within the Next
Five Years.

The Regents of the University of Cali
fornia, as recommended by the Affiliated
Colleges committee, accepted the Sutro
site at special meeting held in the Mark
Hopkins Institute of Art yesterday after
noon. Every regent present voted for the
site except George T. Marye, who asked to
be excused because he did not consider
himself sufficiently informed on the matter
to vote intelligently.
In the absence of Governor Budd Regent
Timothy Guy Phelps presided, Professor
Bonte acting as secretary. There.were pres
ent Regents Kellogg, Wallace, Bartlett,
Marye Hallidie, Phelps, Hellman, Rodgers,
Croker, Miller, Martin, Foote, Houghton
and Waymire.
On motion of A. S. Hallidie the Affiliated
Colleges committee, represented by DR.. R.
Beverley Cole F. A. Beckett, ex-Judge
Evans and DR.. L. Dunbar, were invited to
read any communication they might
have in reference TO the Sutro site.
DR.. Cole, as spokesman for the commit
tee, in few words told the result of the
committees work, concluding with an
earnest recommendation that the board
accept Mr.. Sutro's magnificent gift.
At the conclusion of his remarks Secre-
q
by Drs. McNutt and Taylor had been
placed on file, and that with the consent
of the board he would read the same The
report referred to is practically the same
as that read before the Affiliated Colleges
committee last Friday night. The main
feature of the report was the argument
asking the board to defer action until J. B.
Reinstein, ex-president OF the Alumni AS
ISOLATION, and a. F. Morrison, president of
that association, could be heard from.
These gentlemen, the report affirmed, were
strongly in favor of the Potrero site.
In reply to this DR.. Cole denied the ex-
istence of minority report, claiming that
it was report from the dissenting medi-
cal department" He then referred TO the
clinic, the question of car fares and the IN
certainty OF the City and County Hospital

author of this so-called report argued with
me to accept four acres almost immedi-
ately in front of the Sutro site. We are
backed by the alumni of the Medical,
Pharm aceutical and Law Colleges and by
the expressed preference of over fifty pro-
fessors directly interested. Against all
this comes the dissenting opinion of two
men"
Ex-Judge Evans followed with a brief
talk, urging the regents not to refuse this
ideal location, after which Mr.. Sutro adj
dressed the meeting.

hard to redeem his credit, and in the two
years has paid off $4,000 of his debts, re-

THE BELG|C IS UN|NJURED
All Needed Assistance to Move
the Big Steamer Is at
Hand.
1t Is Believed That Beckman Fell
Overheard While In Dis
charge of His Duty.

Late last evening D. d. Stubs of the
Oriental and Occidental steamship line
received a dispatch from the company's
agent at Yokohama stating that the
stranded Belgic would be f1oated. The
hull was uninjured, and all the assistance
necessary to get the steamer off the sand
spirit upon which she lies was at hand.
To those acquainted with the locality
there is no doubt that the big vessel can
not be extricated from her predicament.
Kings or Su Nosaka Point, which means
point of sand" juts into the Uroga
Channel just inside of the Bay of Yeddo
or Harbor of Yokohama. There is COM
paratively no swell in that locality, and
there is a probability that Captain Walker
was going ahead in the fog under slow
bell and the steamer slipped easily up on
the beach.
1t is believed the second officer, George
Beckman, lost his life by falling overheard
either from the high deck of the Belgic or
from boat alongside of the vessel while in
the discharge of his duty.
All the treasure, $129,5S5 in Mexican
coin and $69,005 in gold and silver and the
mails were safely landed at Yokohama.
The Oriental and Occidental steamship
Coptic will sail for China and Japan ports
at clock tomorrow afternoon. She will
call at Honolulu, leaving that place about
the 10th inst, arriving at Yokohama about
October l, and at Hongkong on the 9th.
The Belgic's sailing dates are: Leaves
Hongkong September %, Yokohama Octo-
Der and arrive at San Francisco October
%, not calling at Honolulu
All the officials of the company deplore
the death of Officer Beckman, who was an
intelligent, brave and skillfuI seaman
They think his loyalty to what he consid-
cred his duty caused him to expose him
self to the danger that lost him his life.
