and Robbed.

James Wales, salesman, II years of

morning on Eddy street by Policemen
SNOWFALL and Wilson ana sent to the Citv
Prison in the patrol-wagon on the charge
OF drunkenness. When searched the onlv
thing they found in his pockets was a
knife.
Wales was released yesterday morning.
and on ascertaining that the only thing
belonging to him was knife he declared
he had been drugged and robbed, and said
he would find the people who did it.
Little attention was paid to his state
ment, as it is quite usual thing for men
arrested for drunkenness to declare when
sober that they had been robbed.
Last night Wales wife called at the Citv
Prison in great state of excitement. She
asked what property her husband had on
him when arrested, and when told she
said: my husband has been drugced and
robbed. On Saturday morning he went
to Tom Sharkey's training quarters and
Sharkey, who is a friend OF his. presented
him with diamond stud valued at 5000.
He showed me the stud and look IL

with him. / am sure he has been drugged
and robbed, as he is not a drinking man.
Mrs. Wales was advised TO 60 to police

California Proposes to Make an
Exceptionally Great Exhibit
in Guatemala.
Merchants Viii. Not Display Their
Goods, However, if They Are Not
Given dtquate Facilities.

Chairman Bundschu of the Guatemalan
Exposition committee of the Chamber of
Commerce presided yesterday at the
executive session OF that committee.
Carl ii. Clark was selected temporary
secretary and given the task of inter-
viewing personally the twenty-six firms
that have signified willingness TO exhibit
in March next at Guatemala.
These firms will have to promise to pay
$50 toward the general expense fund and
81 per square foot of space occupied. If
this amount exceeds necessary expenses
the surplus will be distributed among ex-
hibitors pro rata. Should the amount
fail short, however, the different firms
must agree to make up the deficit pro
rata.
Among those present at the meeting
were n. w. Spaulding, Percy Morgan, p.
Lilienthal, J. P Currier. NJ. Hirsch, j. A.
Ficher and Nathan Dohrmann.
Chairman Bundschu stated that in view
OF the fact that only $500 square feet had
been allowed to exhibitors from California
and that the space was entirely inadequate
to the require ents he believed further
demand should be made.
1t was resolved that cablegram should
be sent Immediately asking for 5000 square
feet.
In answer to the question of Percy Nor
gan, representing the California wine in
terests, as to what action should be taken
if Guaiemala refuses additional space, the
reply was blunt and to the point: I'VE
