The Stewards Deal Severely
With Jobbers at Ingleside
Track.
GOOD CONTESTS YESTERDAY.
Imp. Star Ruby and Peter the Second
Furnish Very Exciting
Finish.

The old adage that "new broom sweeps
clean" is being applied with vigorous eff
feet by the new Pacific Coast Jockey Club.
If good clean racing, free from jobbery,
can be given to the public, the club in
tends that they shall have it. After an
exhaustive inquiry into Mondays hurdle
race, in which all bets were declared off,
the stewards have melted out severe SEN
fences to those that they think the evil
dence justifies in finding guilty of crook
edness in connection with the race. The
event has been declared no race, and the
owners of horses that ran in the affair are
not liable for Jockey fees, neither will the
association stand liable for the purse. J.
Johnson, the rider of J c, and Good
man, who rode Three Forks, are ruled off
the turf. The horse Morgan G is also
ruled off the turf. No more entries will be
received from the Arizona stable, in whose
name Three Forks ran but in any of the
clubs stakes where the stable has entries
their horses viii be allowed to start The
EIkton stable, in whose colors q G ran,
is exonerated from all blame in the mat
ter. 1t is suspected that w. Clancy, who
rode Morgan q, owns an interest in Three
Forks and he stands suspended pending
further investigation.
Morgan G started in Mondays race
under the name of W. Covington. but it
had been proven beyond doubt that John
son, who rode the favorite o c, was the
actual owner of the jumper. W. Coving-
ton BUTCH was called before the stewards
and admitted that Johnson came to him
and asked permission to start the horse in
his (Covington's) name in Mondays race,
later giving CovlngtOn bill of sale for the
animal, pricing him at $500. Covington

Sebastian Rameis, Son of a Guate.
mala Planter, in a Bad
Fix.
ROBBED HIS FELLoW-ROoMERs
He Tried to Poison Himself and Will
Now Have to Answer a Charge
Of Burglary.

S. F. O'Mally, 512 Bush street, swore out
warrant in Judge Conlan's court yester-
day for the arrest of Sebastian Rameis on
the charge of burglary.
Rameis is the son of planter in Guate-
mala and came here about year ago to
finish his education. He engaged rooms
at 707 Post street and was looked upon by
his fellow-roomers as nice youth.
1t was not long before they began to
miss articles of jewelry and money from
their rooms. J.O'Nelll, a horseman. had
a $40 gold piece stolen out of his trousers
pocket while he was aisle p. Christian F.
Petersen, clerk, had his gold watch and
chain, diamond ring and $50 in coin stolen
from the top of his dressing table.
O'Mally Jared worse than the others. A
box in his room was forced open and a
gold watch and chain, two gold rings, two
gold crosses, q shamrock pin, silk muf-
fer and valuable papers stolen.
Suspicion fell upon Willie Hynes, boy
who used to do odd jobs around the house.
Willie left for Stockton about three months
ago, and that confirmed the suspicion. He
was arrested ana brought back to this
that he was not the thief. and the case
against him was dismissed.
ALI this tine no suspicion attached to
Rameis, as it was not thought that the son
of a wealthy planter would do such a
thing. Last Thursday however, O'Mally
met Rameis and discovered that he had
his silk muller around his neck. He
charged Rameis with stealing it and
threatened 10 have him arrested. Rameis
protested his innocence and got away from
O'Mally as quickly as possible. He hur-
ried to his room at 707 Post street, and
preferring death to being publicly dis
graced be swallowed dose of arsenic.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital
and DR.. Fitzgbbon applied the usual rem
edies and saved his life. The emetics had
to be administered by force as Rameis re-
fused to swallow them, saying he wished
to die.
The following day he was sent to the City
and County Hospital, where he is slowly
recovering. AS soon as he has sufficiently
recovered he will be locked up in the City
Prison.
Besides the muff1er O'Mally says he has
other positive evidence that Rameis was the
thief. Petersen will also probably swear
out warrant against him for grand lar
ceny as he has witnesses who saw Rameis
wearing that diamond ring that was stolen
from him.

mem Der who can obtain the signatures of
twenty-five mem bers in good standing can
be a candidate, and his name must be
placed or the ticket.
THAT system prevents men from per-
petuating themselves in Office, for it gives
every one chance, but last year, out of
1000 members, only fourteen took advan-
tage of that system. Phillips is wild when
he charges that $500 books have disap-
peared from the shelves. I believe that
some time ago figures were presented
which show the number is under 1000
since the institute library was opened. AS
to the purchase of the Folsom-street prop
erty, do not believe that there was any
corruption in the purchase. The same
board that bought that bought the Larkin-
street lot, and what may have been lost on
the one has more than been made up by
the increase in value OF the other. The
Folsom street property, think, will rise
in value when the cars run along Six
tenth street to the Potrero.'

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
DR.. Williamson Tells Why
Typhoid Fever Cases Were
Reported.
The Statement in a Morning Paper
That Typhus Fever Was Epi.
demic Is Incorrect.

The twenty-five cases of typhoid fever
reported to the Board of Health, from De-
cember 8 to 8, inclusive, have not created
any undue excitement in the ranks of the
practicing physicians.
One reason for this is found in the fact
that there are no records by which the
present situation can be judged. 1t is only
within the past two weeks that the Board
OF Health, at the request of DR.. William
son, notified the physicians to report all
typhoid fever cases coming under their no.
tice. There are some who think that in a
city as large as San Francisco twenty-five
cases in six days is not sufficient cause for
alarm, though there are others who claim
that If the record is correct there must be
something wrong, either in the sanitary
condition Of the City or in its food sup
pIy-meaning by this, milk and water.
at is only within the last two weeks
that the physicians have been notified to
report all typhoid cases." said DR.. Will
hanson yesterday. "It is impossible for
me to say whether twenty-five cases in six
days is an abnormal number or not, be-
cause there are no records by which COM
parsons can be made.
"There has been so much talk about i'm
pure water and adulterated milk that it
was thought advisable to keep a record Of
diseases most largely influenced by them.
1t is impossible to tell at this time whether
the cases reported to the Board of Health
are due to either one or both these causes.
On the other hand it is quite possible that
the sanitary condition of the places where
fever has been reported is the responsible
agent. All these matters are being inves-
tigated, and report will be made as early
as possible"
DR.. Williamson further stated that in
view OF the fact that typhoid cases came
from all parts of the City it was quite
probable the real cause would be found in
the use of impure water.
The cases SO far reported were found on
the following streets: Ellis, Valley, Guer-
rero, Willow avenue, First, Sanchez, Oak,
Eleventh, Greenwich, Devisadero, Cres-
cent avenue, Wood, Eddy, German, Fol-
som, Fulton, Franklin and Hickory ave-
nue.. Nine of the cases are under 90 years
of age, two being years old, one and a
third just Is. In five cases reported no
age is given. The largest number came in
December 5, seven being reported on that
day. On the day following five cases
came in.
The statement made in morning paper
that typhus fever was epidemic in this
City is entirely erroneous. There has been
no typhus fever in San Francisco during
the present year.

handicap, the entries for which were
dominated by ladies, the crack sprinters
on the track will meet at weights that
should furnish rare contest.
The fortunate nominators OF the hrst
two horses past the wire will be presented
with an elegant bracelet in the grand
stand at the conclusion of the race. The
gate is free to ladies to-day.
McHugh, who rode All Over in the
fourth race, was set down for incompe-

George Wheelock bet all the bookmakers
in the ring to standstll on Olive, and
Riley Grammar followed suit. Grammar
also had his coin down heavily on Basso.
There was bit of an ENHANCEMENT to
the second race that, while it proved
somewhat expensive to the Pacific Coast
firmer basis with the race-going public.
Imp. Endvmion, one of the second choices
in the betting. finished in the place, but
the number on the saddle cloth became
rumpled, and as the gelding flashed by
the stand the judges mistook the number
for that of Elsie, 100 to chance, and
placed her second. The caller made his
announcement and the bookmakers began
paying off. Imp. Endymion's owners
entered protest and, discovering their
error. second announcement was made
giving the place to Endymion. All the
money on Elsie. place and show bets, that
had been paid was made good to the books
by the Pacific Coast Jockey CLUB.

said he was not aware fraud was intended,
or he would never have allowed his name
to be mixed up in the matter. After Mon
day race, Johnson offered to sell Morgan G
for 5000, which showed the bill of sale to
Covington was not a bona-fide one. The
stewards still have Covington's case under
advisemeEt.
There always have been more or less IN
savory rumors connected with the jump
ing horse business on the local tracks, but
this severe ruling should serve as warn
ing in future.
A large crowd enjoyed some excellent
racing yesterday. The fine weather is fast
drying the track, although it was still
triae heavy for any fast time. The Corri-
gan entry Kowalsky in the two-year-old
race was the only winning favorite, second
and third choices and outsiders capturing
the balance.
The opening race was somewhat in the
nature of a surprise, for Ailahabad, 10
to 1 shot ridden by Piggott. won by head
in a drive from May Day. the second
choice. Draw Scot finished fourth.
Starting at 3 to 5, kowaisky easily dis
posed of the nine youngsters pitted against
him in a fve-furlong dash. He won by
two open lengths easily, with imp. En-
dymion in the place.
Again did the Corrigan stable furnish a
hot favorite for the third race at seven fur
longs in the speedy Olive, who was backed
from to to l to 2. The best she could do
was to finish second to Belle Boyd, an s
to l chance, who led all the way round and
won by length.
The other events on the programme were
overshrouded by the fourth at a mile,
with four rafting good ones sporting silk.
BaSso ruled fourth in the ring at to B.,
with Peter the Second a strong 8 to sec
ond choice. Imp. Star Ruby had third call
with those about him, and stable money
cut the odds against All Over from % to
10 TO l. Eckert was the rankest of out
siders in the betting. Peter the Second led
for a furlong, when Chorn gave Star Ruby
his head and he took the lead, with Basso
at his heels. Star Ruby had slight ad-
vantage into the stretch, with Peter two
lengths behind Basso. Sloan, on Peter
the Second, now made his ride, and pass
ing Basso soon had the leader driving.
Through hard riding, Chorn managed to
land the imported horse winner by a head,
through Sloan's poor judgment. Basso
was good third.
The last race was five and half fur
long dash-with Lucky Dog a 7 to 10
favorite. Starter Caldwell dropped his flag
to struggling start, and the unreliable
son of Darebin never was a factor. Ber-
nardo. the 4 to l second choice, took the
lead before turning into the stretch, and
won by nose in a drive from Service.

A LUCKY MISTAKE.
Charles Ward, Charged With Bribery,
Scores q Point.

Scores Point.
The case of Charles W. Ward, convicted
by the Stockton courts of having br:bed
one of the Supervisors, has been remanded
to the Superior Court by the Supreme
Court with instructions to sustain the de-
murrer to the indictment which had pre-
viously been overruled.
The Indictment was demurred to on the
ground that it did not charge any specific
act of bribery, but merely in general terms
alleged that the defendant had "bribed" a
certain Supervisor to do certain thing.
1t must be shown, the Supreme Court
holds, that there was felonious act, and
this must be shown in explicit terms. The
demurrer is therefore ordered sustained.
