AMATEUR ATHLETES.
The Pacific Association Investigates
Some Oaeer Charges.

The Pacific Association of the Amateur
Athletic Union met in the Olympic Gu b
last evening purposely to investigate
charges that have been brought against
the association by George d. Baird, the
ex-presdent of the association. and John
Elliott. the andicapper.
Baird, after standing heavy cross
examination, acknowledged that he had
no conclusive proof on which to substau-
tiate hts charges against the association.
Baird said that he was informed by a
man named Coleman of.the San Francisco
Athletic Club and another athlete named
Ames of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, hat The officers If the association
were derelict in their duty, and gave
little or no attention to the affairs
of the association. The ex president
also stated that he understood that
given to the successful athletes in boxing
and athletic contests. He could rot pro-
duce any evidence. however. to substan-
iiate the charges, and as n matter OF course
the charges were overlooked by the board,
which pronounced them as being not
worthy oil notice.
Elliott said that he had no charges to
prefer against the association, and that
what ne had heard he believed to be non
sensical and without the least foundation
to build an opinion upon.
The association adjourned firmly con-
WINGED that there was too much jealousy
existing among some of the past officers,
and that all that has been said and written
against the directors was all smoke with
no fire TO be found when a search was
made for hot stuff. Baird left the room
rather anery that be had no evidence to
substantiate any of the charges be had
made

HAD DYNAMITE CONCEALED.
PretendS to Be Insane When
Questioned.
UNDER DUREss FOR DESERTION.
He Had Threatened to Blow Up the
Guardhouse and Arranged 10
Do SO Shortly.

What is supposed to have been plot to
blow up the guardhouse at the Preside
was discovered yesterday by Sergeant
Harvey of Battery e, Fifth Artillery. who
was sergeant Of the guard, and in charge
of the prisoners confined there.
AS the sergeant was making his regular
inspection of the beds and personal effects
of the prisoners confined in the various
rooms of the guardhouse, he discovered
stick of dynamite and box of exploding
caps under the bunk of a prisoner named
Smith.
Smith stole the cartridge and caps from
the Toulouse 10 the Quartermaster's corral
and has been heard TO make threats that
Ii something was not done for him soon
he would blow the guardhouse. himself
and everybody in it up. as he was tired OF
such life as he has been leading.
The prisoner has been up for eXamina.
ton before the post doctor several times
in order to determine his sanity, as ne
claims to have deserted his old regiment
while insane, and since he has been in the
gaardhouse at the Preside his actions in
dictate that he Is not In his right EDd. lie
has made several attempts TO destroy HIM
self, but was detected 10 time to save his
life.
During the past week the prisoner has
been saying to his comrades that he would
blow the guardhouse up, but as they con-
sidered him insane, little attention was
paid to his threats. Great joy was eX-
pressed upon the finding of the chemical,
by all hands, as they say he would not
hesitate TO use it.
One of his comrades when asked regard
ing Smiths sanity, said:
''If ever there was a crazy man he Is
ore; he keeps us awake ali night by his
howling; and when not bowling he is
walking u D and down mutterine to himself
He should be in WASHINGTON, not here,
and il he is not taken there soon, he will
kill himself or some one else. as he is be-
coming desperate"
Smith has been placed in dark cell, and
strict orders have been given that no one
shall be allowed to see him until his case
has been invest gated, as it is thought lie
has made the placing of the dynamite a
ruse in order to deceive the officers, and
make it appear that he is becoming vio-
lently insane.
The prisoner was taken from Light Bat
terry ID, Fifth Artillery. He deserted
from the Fourth Regiment Of Infantry. He
has been in confinement over four months.
aud has been doing hard labor under
charge of a sentry all the time.

window at Howard and Third street. is

with Ryan during the day and who was
found asleep or feigning sleep in the
room from which. he descended 10 the

his room during the day, but had seen
nothing of him after o'clock in the after
noon.
Ann Masterson and l. Zzie OCpnnOr
swore than that they saw Ryan and Julia
Craig together at O'Clock in the evening.
The Coroner called upon Julia to explain
this discrepancy, but her lawyer advised
her to say nothing and she obeyed him.
Nottingham. the keeper of the saloon in
which Ryan was employed, swore that tie
woman was sleeping s0undlv when the
police entered the room. but Officer Riley
testified that when he entered the room
and placed his hand lightly on the
woman's shoulder she sat up. He be-
lieyed that shs was awake all the time.
