Rank treason of the gamiest, rankest
and most ancient kind has invaded the
wigwam of the Iroquois braves.
One OF the braves actually trampled An

nings Bryan and Sam Rainey under foot
by not only parading in the big Repub-
lican procession on october 80, but by GO
ing to the polls on November 3 and de-
liberately voting for the Mckinley and
Hobart electors. Judging from the rea-
sons given by him in justification of this
act of high treason, il must be inferred
that the unfaithful brave also voted for
Republican Congressman and for Re-
publican representative from San Fran
cisco to the State Legislature.
He was not only guilty OF this deed, but
he did more. When he placed the red
cross of his approval opposite the names
OF the Presidential electors of his choice
he was in the solitude of the election
booth. and no human eye witnessed the
foul deed when he sta bbed his party to the
heart with the red rubber stamp.
Then, when he had folded his ballot and
the officer of election had smilingly de-
posted it in the box with the final word

his shame.
1t was on the first meeting of the Iro-
quois Club after the election cyclone, and
the red mans moon was dark. the date
being Friday, November 49, when Mr..
Jacobs stood at the door of the wigwam,
and as the braves we're passing in he sang
q war song, taunting them because their
faces were long and their nearts were sad.
''HaI hal" be cried, defiantly. II voted

OF it. I'd do it again If got the chance.
| glory i'll it"
Among the big chiefs whose sorrow was
outraged by those reasonable words were
DR.. J. Gordon, Samuel Mckee, David
Pratt and Thomas ]. Mcbride.
Dr. Gordon at the next meeting pre-
ferred a formal complaint against Jacobs,
charging him with conduct unbecoming a
mem ber of the Iroquois Club. A commit
tee of investigation, headed by Judge A
ID. Lemon and Max Pepper, was appointed
to investigate the charge and to report TO
the club at its next meeting.
The committee went into session last
Tuesday night in the law offices of Arthur
Z. Mack, in the Marye building, and ex-
amined several witnesses. at the conclu-
sion of the investigation the committee
decided TO recommend the expulsion of
Mr.. Jacobs, on finding the charges to be
well founded.
The first witness was Dr. D. j. Gordon

LOOTED A SALOON.
A Burglar Visits the Exchange at IA
Third Street and Carries off
the Cash.

The Exchange Saloon at ID Third street
was visited by burglar early yesterday
morning while an arc electric light burned
inside and another equally brilliant lamp
illuminated the exterior. Despite the
bright lights and the transparent glass
panels OF the door he managed to go about
his business unseen and to empty the
cash register of all it contained in money.
The burglar was apparently content
with what loose coin he could find, for he
did not touch either cigars or liquor. Nor
was the safe molested, not as much as q
scratch could be seen on it.
An examination of the premises COM
menced. A. Becker, one OF the proprie-
tors. found thar the thief had secreted
himself in the toilet-room and after the
saloon was closed at 2:15 A. NJ. robbed the
cash register and walked off. The booty
amounted to SIG, which had been left in
the cash drawer Marks OF the burglar s
shoes were traced from the toilet-room to
the sidewalk. He tried 10 take off the
lock of the front door, but failing in this
opened the top and bottom sliding bolts
and then pushed the swinging doors open.
MIR. Becker said he was convinced that
the thief was familiar with the place.
Some time ago key was missed from the
door leading TO the basement and it was
found In the front door lock after the bur-
glar left. From this it was inferred that
the thief had stolen the KEY with the in
tention of robbing the saloon. He under
stood how to beat the cash register. for
he opened it without ringing the bell by
pressing gently on the key till the drawer
sprang out. The thief was not a safe
cracker, as he did not try his hand upon
the safe, which stands in an obscure
corner

Pratt. "He owed more than 81 80 on the

Abraham Jacobs, a relative of the ac-
cused, told about u conversation he had
had with Isidor on the street corner. Isl
dor said that if he voted for Bryan he
would be ruined; that he had received
dispatches from England from persons
who wanted to buy his business, and that
If Mckinley should fail of election he,
Jacobs, would be q ruined man. and that
all that would be left for him to do would
be to commit suicide.

statement OF the previous witnesses.

cerned, they are separate and distinct from

transportation to Stockton, and those races
were held under the auspices of the asso-
