IN sCHUETzEN CIRCLES
for the Great Contest to Be
Held in New York.

There was very lively discussion among
the mem bers of the San Francisco Schuet-
zen Verein, in California Hall last night.
In few weeks the greatest shooting festi-
val ever held in America will begin i'll New
York, and on that occasion over $4,000
will be distributed in prizes. To join the
bund requires an expenditure of about $50,
and this sum the San Francisco Schuetzen
Verein was not at first inclined to spend
so last nights meeting was called to dis
cuSs the matter.
The Germania Schuetzen Club is mem
Der of the bund, and the best shots in the
San Francisco Verein say that if they cam
not go as representatives of their own sec
ton they will enroll under the banner of
the Germanias. All the best marksmen
are anxious to go, as there will be trial
of the various club representatives at Mil
waukee, and the winners there may expect
to carry off the big prizes in New York.
No matter what the San Francisco
SchuetZen Club decides upon as body it
is certain that D. B. Faktor, last years
Schuetzen King, and Adolph Strecker,
who made SO out of q possible 100 at
Schuetzen Park two Sundays ago, will be
members of the team. Others who are
sure to go, either as representatives of a
schuetzen club or on their own account,
are August Jungblut, George Helm, w.
Ehrenpfort and Fred P. Schuster. All
these men are good shots and are deter
mined to uphold the reputation of Cali
fornia.
Philo Jacoby, the champion of hum
dred prize shoots, will also journey to the
Far East to uphold the reputation of the
Golden West. He will be accompanied by
at least six other members of the Germania
Club, and between them they hope to carry
some of the principal prizes back to San
Francisco. Adolph Strecker is undoubt-
eddy the most consistent shot in San Fran
cisco and his scores will be followed with
interest by every member OF every schuet-
zen club in the State.

CONDEMNED BY LABOR.
Organizer Jeffries of the Cooperative
Commonwealth Attacked in the
Labor Council.

E. J. Jeffries' proposition to have the
Cooperative Commonwealth undertake
some of the construction work of the San
Joaquin Valley road, and take out part of
the compensation in the stock of the road,
has found some opposers among the City's
unemployed. His opponents appeared be-
fore the Labor Council at its meeting last
night as a committee of the Wageworkers'
Union, Walter Joyce being the spokes-
man.
When Jeffries was here. outlining what
could be done by cooperative organize
ton in this way, he used as basis, for
purposes OF illustration, per diem wage
of 81 25, of which so cents was to be paid in
stock. His idea was that it would mate
rally help the road. and at the same time
keep ali the benefits in the hands of the
commonwealth, as, under his plan, the
necessity of contractors could be avoided
and the Commonwealth could board and
lodge its members at low figures.
The Wageworkers' Union has taken ex-
ception to this supposed offer to work at
81 25, and Mr.. Joyce represented last night
that the Commonwealth would operate to
pull down wages. He produced also, let
tiers from John O'Brien and Edgar B.
Piper of Portland, Or, in an endeavor to
show that Jeffries was an enemy to organ
lied labor. O'Brien was formerly identi-
fed with the Knights Of Labor, and
started the Portland Daily Sun, and Piper
is local editor Of the Oregonian. Pipers
letter was to the effect that in Seattle JEFF
fries was regarded as an adventurer and
was one of the leaders of the Coxey Indus
trial Army.
Joyce said if the Labor Council had
known the facts it would not have given
the Commonwealth its Endorsement.
Delegate ]. X. Phillips of the Typo
graphical Union, who is also member of
the Commonwealth, and which, he says,
proposes to incorporate, explained away
companions. Finally President McGlynn
told the gentlemen interested to discuss the
matter at the meeting of the executive
committee Sunday.
Under the new constitution of the coun-
Gil the following were made the executive
committee: T. +. Burns, ]. H Marble,
H. A. Knox, William Zahn, E. P. Burman,
S. Lesser and J. Nugent. Messrs. William
Zahn and S. Lesser were elected to fill va
cancies on the organizing committee.

SUSPECTED MURDER.
Henry Sandt Arrested for Supposed Com
plicity in the Weber Murder
in Sacramento.


Henry Sandt, alias "Cheyenne Red,
was lodged in the tanks of the City'Prison
yesterday, on suspicion OF being party to
the murder of John Weber, the grocer OF
Sacramento, and his wife, who were found
dead in their residence, 1917 L street, on
the morning of December %, 1894
The Sacramento police have been after
Sandt for some time. Soon after the muir
der they were looking for two brothers
named Sprout and for Sandt. The Sprout
brothers gave themselves up, and after
being taken to Sacramento and subjected
to rigid examination were discharged.
At the same time the Sacramento police
wanted Sandt very badly, but as he was
not to be found Captain Lees put Ofncer
A. ]. McGrew on his track and had him
arrested in this City yesterday.
Captain Lees telephoned at once to Sac
ramento that he had the man, and he re-
ceived an answer that one of the Sacra-
mento police would be down here to-day
to identify the man, Sandt, as the one
they are looking for, or prove that he is
not the man they want.
Sandt was known to the Sacramento
police before the murder, but it was not
until some time afterward that he was in
any way suspected of the crime. Their
theory is that more than one man is impli-
Gated in the crime. They think there were
at least two, and possibly more, and feel
that the Sandt they are looking for is one
of the aSsaSslns.

THE MONTGOMERY ESTATE.
That $4,000 Request to Seminary
Held Not Taxable.

The principal matter in the consideration
of the Montgomery estate yesterday be-
fore Judge Coffey was the decision that the
$780, 900 bequest to the Pacific Seminary for
monument to the memory of the tesla
tor was not taxable under the collateral
tax act.
Executor A. w, Foster was examined as
to the nature of the work he had done in
administering the estate with view to de-
termining the executors commissions.
Executor Goad had not claimed the extra
compensation allowed by law for special
work, but there was a suggestion that such
an allowance be made, and he had not
waived his right. Mr.. Foster expressly
waived all right to extra compensation
while indorsing Mr.. Goad's title to the
same.
All other matters, including the award
ing of counsels' fees, went over until Tues
day afternoon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.-The
Evening News says an amphitheater is
being built across the Potomac, in Alex
andria County, Va, for the Corbett-Fltz-
simmons fight. The Florida citizens, hsv-
ing loudly protested against the fight
taking place in jacksonville under the
auspices of the Duyal Athletic Club, pleni-
potentiaries were sent out to recOnnolter
in various sections of the country and as
certain the feeling. A careful comparison
of results developed the conclusion that
Virginia was by all odds the best place.
1t offered greater advantages with fewer
drawbacks.
According to the laws of Virginia the
Governor is absolutely prohibited from in
terfering with affairs of county except
upon the formal request of duly elected
Sheriff of such county.
All minor arrangements were perfected
and the location for clubhouse is said to
have been selected at Carlins Springs, stu
ated on the dividing line between Alexan-
dria and Fairfax counties. This place is a
small country village on the Washington
and Ohio Railroad, some twelve miles
from this city by rail and seven by turn
pike.
Charles Churchman, an Alexandria con-
tractor, has had transported to Carlins
Springs great quantities of building ma
terial, and to-day followed it with large
force of carpenters, who will Immediately
begin the construction of the building
This, it is supposed, will be the amphithea-
ter where Corbett and Fitzsimmons will
settle their differences. The parties for
whom the work is being performed are
variously represented to be from Jackson

points.

SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAN.
Sandt, Alias "SIy Red,'' arrested for
the Murder. of the Webers.

the Murder of the Webers.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, May TO- The
man Sandt who has been arrested in San
Francisco for the murder of Mr.. and Mrs.
Weber in this city last December is well
known here, and if he is the Stand that
the officers have been looking for it is be-
lieved that sufficient evidence will be forth
coming to convict. % -1
Sandt is known here under the nickname
of "Shy Red" He has always borne an
unsavory reputation, and although his
picture cannot be found in the rogues' gal
lery at Folsom it is believed that he served
term there.
Within week of the Weber murder De-
tective Ike Simmons, who is one of the
shrewdest officers in the State, announced
to the Board Of Supervisors that he thought
he knew the man who committed the deed,
and the board employed him. The man
he suspected was "Shy Red"
Simmons spent several months hard
work on the case and furnished the police
departments throughout the State with a
description of the man wanted.
He will leave at l :25 this morning for
San Francisco in company with other
officers and if the man whom the police
of that city have in custody is the MUIR
derer of the Webers he is probably ON his
way to the gallows.
The evidence against Sandt is very
strong. He is known to have been in this
city at the time of the murder, and to have
dropped out of sight Immediately after
ward. He answers the description of one
of the men whom the conductor saw on
the train bound for San Francisco on the
night of the crime. The bloody clothing
found in barrel back of the store has been
identified as his. an
+ The coat has been identified by alman
who threw it away and who knowing "Shy
Red' saw him pick it up. The suspected
man is Pennsylvania German, but he
talks like an Irishman. He came to Sacra-
mento over year ago and was close
friend of Joe and Bill Sprout, who were
arrested for the murder, but who were let
go on account of insufficient evidence.
The whole gang were known as all-round
crooks and the Sprouts were continually
in jail. These latter are still believed to
know something about this murder, and it
is thought that "Shy Red" may be induced
to squeal. The arrest of Sandts has been
kept very quiet and Police Captain Antho-
such an arrest had been made until in
formed of the fact by the CALL CORE
spondent. 1t seems that those only have
been told of the capture who have been in
strumental in running the man to earth,
and some fear is entertained that "Red 81
parters, learning of the capture, may fly
the State.
