.BUNKO|NG COLLEGE MEN,
A Man Poses as the Cousin
OF Different University
Graduates.
Two of His Victims Happen to Com.
pare Notes on His Story of
Misfortune.

A novel bunko scheme has been started
IN this City upon the alumni of the Uni
versity of California by man apparently
about 26 years of age.
The method is to call at the residence OF
his victim after nightfall, and in an apollo
getic way appeal for a temporary loan to
tide him over the unfortunate predicament
of being stranded and a stranger.
Letters that the man presented to two
graduates, who happened to compare notes
afterward. explain the peculiar modus
operandi.
This is the self-composed introduction
that the swindler handed to A. Kitchener at
loOl% San Carlos avenue Friday evening
February 6, 1896.

present time without one cent, not knowing
where to eat and sleep. AS you graduated

shall. with thanks, return it to you by Mon
day, when my money from home is due
am ashamed to ask for it. but have no place
to &c. to, and am almost despairing. Very re-
spectfully, ]. G. SQUIRE.
Kitchener told the applicant to call next
day at his Office in the Mills building. but
the visitor did not materialize. In the
evening, happening to mention the Incl
dent casually to John S. Partridge, a
teacher in the Boys High School, who was
classmate of his at Berkeley, he was
shown almost the duplicate of the letter
printed above, except that it began:
Feb. 5, go.
Dear Sir: Ny name is J. G. Byler and am a
cousin of Mr.. Emmett A. Byler of Cripple
Creek, Colo, who graduated with you in 80.
The paper, the handwriting and the
body of the two letters were alike.
A troubled look is said to have passed
over the Partridge countenance as. he
m used, well, he got two dollars out of
me. How much are you down for?"

PAID M'ENERNY's BILL.
Mayor Sutro and Auditor Frederick
Have a Lively Tilt in the EIec-
iinn Conn ssion

NsO a LIVELY the Elcc-
tion Commission.
The bill of Garrett McEnerny against
the City for legal services rendered during
the recent contest over the seats in the
Election Commission was the subject of a
warm debate at the meeting OF the COM
mission yesterday, the demand being cut
from $500 to $1,000, and the latter amount
ordered paid. Mayor Sutro opposed the
payment of the bill on the ground that the
amount asked was extortionate. Fifteen
hundred dollars is entirely too much for
fifteen minutes argument before court, -
he declared.
Auditor Broderick defended the bill and
said that he had known where $1,000 had
been paid for the same length of time con-
SumeG IN an argument before the Supreme
Court. After it had been decided that it
was the business OF the commission to pay
the bill, City and County Attorney Cress-
well moved that Mr.. McEnerny be al
lowed $1,000 for his services, and vote was
taken. Mayor Sutro refused to announce
the result and Mr.. Cresswell instructed the
clerk to do SO, with the result that the
measure was carried.
Some sharp words were passed, when the
Mayor objected to Auditor Frederick vot-
ing, on the ground that he was an inter-
ested party, and the Auditor finally said !:
"Oh, you are talking through your hat"
The Mayor did not appear to understand

TIE wIIMERDING SCHOOL.
Adolph Sutro's Preferred Lots to Be
Considered To-Day.

Adolph SutrO's Preferred Lots to Be
Considered To-Day.
Through the efforts of the Merchants
Association and the Mechanics Institute
several good sites for the Wilmerding
School have been offered to the Board of
Regents. Mayor Sutro offered three lots,
but the one on A and b streets near Thirty
third avenue is regarded as the most suit
able. Yesterday Mayor Sutro sent the
following offer to the regents through
Colonel Denicke, chairman of the COM
mittee on the Wilmerding School:
DeoL Sir: | hereby offer to give to the
Wilmerding School Of Industrial Arts block
80, bounded by A street on the north, by
the west and by Thirty-second avenue on the
east, $40 feet by 500 feet, excepting the
southeasterly corner OF street and Thirty
third avenue, being 70 feet and 2 inches on
Thlrty-tnird avenue and los feet and 3 inches
on b street. which do not own.
inns proposition is open for acceptance for
thirty days from this date, ana on condition
that suitable buildings for the School of In
year from this date Very truly yours,
ADoLPH SUTRo.
This letter will be presented at the meet
ing OF the regents to-day. AT the Mer-
chants Association it is estimated that
this piece of land is worth $4,000. It's
value gives San Francisco an advantage
over the other towns competing for the
prize. For example, Oakland, the next in
the race, has only raised SIS, goo from sub
scriptions for the purchase of site. An
other advantage III favor of this City is
that the Sutro lands are not the only lots
offered. The Castro Land improvement
Company has recently made an offer of a
beautiful site near the end Of the Castro
street ca ble-car line.

SAVED HER FROM SUICIDE
The Manly Action Of Schuyler
Andross Preserves Eglatina
Caldera.
a TWELVE YEAR OLD HERO.
He Induces the DeSpairing Young
Actress to Go to the Home of
His Grandmother.

Eglatina Caldera, the pretty girl who
was missing since Saturday night has
been found. She intended to end her life.
1t is probable that the ut action of
Schuyler Andross, twelve-year-o boy
living in Alameda, is the only thing that
prevented the unhappy girl from carrying
out her declared intention.
Miss Caldera is daughter of Mrs. John
Crockett, widow, whose husband was the
secretary of the Belcher Mining Company
at the time of his death. seven years ago.
The girl has been on the stage from time
to time since she was baby, and recently
completed tour with Lorraine Hollis.
The mother is also professional woman,
her stage name being Adelaide Caldera.
Quite recently neither has had an engage
ment. A brother Orme Caldera, is now
leading man with Lorraine Hollis.
Two weeks ago Miss Caldera was EN-.
ployed at the Alcazar to sing bicycle
song. The engagement was sought by
her, and she served without remuneration.
But the next week she was given a small
part and a small salary.
She and her mother were in arrears for
board and lodging. The landlady, think.
ing they must have money after Miss
Caldera had an engagement, became i'm
Fortunate. She was very insistent and
deeply wounded the girl. She had had
several troubles during the week and was
respondent. Seeing no way out of her
pecuniary mbarrassments, and thinking
her mother would be better able to get
along if she were alone, the girl decided to
kill herself.
Hastily writing to her mother to this
effect she dispatched the note and
started crying for the bay. She had gone
only few blocks when she was seen by
the Andross boy, who had just come from
Mrs. Crockett's, where he had been to get
lesson in elocution.
He wanted TO know VIII ere she was going.
81 don't know" came the sobbing
answer.
But what's the matter? Come, tell me-"
he insisted. maybe can help you.''
Then the girl broke down completely.
Nobody can help me-" she sobbed. "I
am just an incum brance and drag to
everybody"
She talked so wildly that he advised her
to go home. She said she had no home.
"Then you come with me to Nanon's,"
he answered. And taking her hand in his
Vne STURDY little youngster went with her
to the home of his grandmother, Mrs.
General George B. Tolman, on Second
avenue, Alameda.
On the way across the bay the boy kept
close to the hysterical girl. clinging to her
hand and soothing her. She was so ex-
cited that he feared she would throw her.
self from the boat. When she reached
Mrs. Tolman's house the girl was pros
trated, and has been in bed ever since.
Her mother learned of her Whereabouts
from young Master Andross yesterday.
The daughter will probably return to-day.

carry them any longer, alleging that to do
SO involves loss, and after some figuring
1t has been found that the sweepings cam
mob be delivered for less than 81 per cubic
yard.
Now the Park Commissioners have, so
am informed. only limited amount that
they can devote to the transportation of
this material. They will pay 25 cents; the
contractors will allow what they have to
pay Tor carting the sweepings, so cents;
that makes rs cents. Possibly the Mer-
chants Association would add 10 cents,
which would make IS cents for transpor
tatlon purposes. Now, if there is any one
VINO IS willing to do this work for that
sum there IS an opportunity for him to
OBTAIN contract. Ii that cannot be done,
why the park will have to do without the
sWeepings which are needed until one of
the electric lines is extended.
w hen this line is extended to parallel
the park 1t IS probable that some arrange
ment can be made with that company to
maui the sweepings to the park after the
hours OF passenger traffic. That is the
way the matter stands now
superintendent McLaren saws that the
sweeplngs are very necessary in the de-
Velopment OF the park, and that If some
arrangement cannot be effected to haul
them to the park they will be thrown into
the bay at the dumps, where they will be
OF no use, and the improvements contem-
plated at the park will have to be delayed.

WoMAN'S HOSPITAL.
Election of Trustees for the Ensuing
Year-More Funds Are
Needed.


The members of the California Woman's
Hospital held their annual meeting yes
terday afternoon at the residence of Abra-
ham Halsey, secretary and treasurer OF
the board of trustees. The following trus-
tees were elected for the ensuing year:
John Birmingham, Abrah am Halsey, w.
F. Goad, ]. NJ. Mcdonald, C. F. Croker,
G. A. Laton, t. b. Bishop, Isidore Burns,
H. Dutard and George W. Prescott.
The surgeon in charge, d.. F. w.
Vowinckel, presented his report, which
showed that 4s1 patients had been treated
in 1895, that 50 capital operations had been
performed with no deaths resulting from
them, and that go operations of secondary
and minor importance had been per-
formed, from which all the patients recov-
cred.
Secretary Halsey's report showed that
the institution was far from self-support-
ing aDd that there was strong demand
for an increase in the number of contrib
uting members. The n oman's Hospital
is one of the very worthy charities in the
City. Out of capacity for caring for so
patients at q time there are free beds, 3
endowed beds and 8 beds that care for pa
