AYRES ON HIS WAY EAST.
The Wheeler & Wilson Agent Is
Supposed to Be Going to
Bridgeport.
He Owes Nearly $4,000, and His
Property at the Local Store
Has Been Attached.

Alvin D. Ayres, general Pacific Coast
agent of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine Company, failed to report at his
Office, 1868 Market street, yesterday, and
the place has been attached.
The story of Mr.. Ayres' disappearance
was told in yesterdays CALL, but there
was an intimation that the man might
possibly be on hand in the morning with
$l9990 TO liquidate his Indebtedness to the
company. He did not appear, however,
and the Sheriff has a deputy in charge of
all those goods which the missing man
might aim as his own.
Mr.. Dunno, the bookkeeper of the
Wheeler & Wilson Company, is adverse to
going into details as to Mr.. Ayres' short
comings, as he is only temporarily at the
head of the local concern, and unless he is
instructed by the main office at Bridge
port, Conn.,, he will not talk of the ac-
counts.
However, he felt he could say that Mr..
Ayres had left the City and neither he nor
Mrs. Ayres knew where Mr.. Ayers had
gone. He did not doubt that the missing
man had started for the East, and that he
might be on his way to Bridgeport,
Conn, to straighten out his affairs with
the home office.
Mr.. Ayres position in this CITY was
mainly that of buyer of goods, at bed
rock prices, from the Wheeler e. Wilson
Company. He ran into that companv's
debt through elsewhere purchasing ma
chimes for making buttonholes The ma
chimes he sold on the instaliment plan.
and lately, during the business depression
he found it difficult to make collections.

NEW PATROL WAGONS.
Two Covered Vehicles Similar to Those
in Use in New York to Be
Recommended.

At the meeting of the Police Commits
sioners tonight Commissioner Gunst will
submit for the inspection and consldera-
ton of the board Photographic views he
has just received from New York of the
patrol wagon in use there by the Police De-
partment. The views are three in mum ber.
One shows the wagon from a side view, and
the other two the rear-one with the seats
in position and the other with stretcher in
use.
The wagon is much lighter than those
now in use here, and 1t serves also the pur-
pose of an am bulance. The seats can be
lowered when necessary and a swinging
stretcher placed in the body of the wagon
so that the patient is freed from the annoy
ance and inconvenience of iolting.
Another advantage the wagon possesses
is in having a roof over it with covers
front and rear, which are kept in roll on
top, and are lowered during rainy weather
Two new patrol wagons are required for
the new stations, and if 1t is decided to
purchase two vehicles similar to those in
New York, one will be placed for use at
the Central police station and the other
probably at the California street station.
The use of covered patrol wagons has
been recommended by Chief Crowley in
his annual reports for years back.

TIN zoos GOOD NAME.
Postal Inspectors no Longer Suspect
Him OF Completely with Sam
Yick's Postoffice Larceny.

1t is not likely that the postal inspec-
tors will try to make case against H. Tin
Foo, whom they arrested few days ago
in the hope that he would enable them to
catch Sam Yick, the letter-thief. Sam
Yick has not yet been caught.
ii. Tin Foo is one of the two presidents
of the Chinese Merchants Association,
and stands very high among his people.
No man in Chinatown believes that Tin

Munro also stated yesterday that he
thought Tin Foo did not have anything to

aware of Sam Yick's crookedness seems to
have been quite satisfactory. The inspec-

MAKING A SHORT CUT,
Judge McKenna Finds a Neat
Way Out of a Di-
lemma.
He Admits the Entire Pattison Re-
port as, Evidence in the
Railroad Suit.

Judge McKenna decided yesterday
morning to consider as read all the report
of the Pattison committee, the reading OF
which would take up nearly a whole
month in the injunction suit brought by
the railroad company against the Railroad
Commissioners to prevent the latter from
reducing freight rates.
Ex-Judge Hayne, for the Commissioners
argued on Monday last that the railroad
attorneys were pleased with the delay in
trying the case by having the 1900 pages
of the report read, simply that they felt
strong in the fact that they had been
granted restraining order, which, he in
timated, would be more pleasing still if
the reading could be continued ad infini-
tum.
The court believed that counsel on either
side could decide on those parts of the
voluminous report which would be neces-
sary in the arguments and that they could
be stipulated when the contestants would
come together again on February 3.
The decision of the court, to ali appear
ance, is satisfactory to all concerned. At
torney Herrin, in his arguments to date.
has held that lie believed speedier progress
could be made by not wading through a
lot of testimony that could have no bear
ing on the issues. He believed that ii
would have been better to get up pleading
and to have proceeded to the taking Of
testimony. This, he claimed, would have
brought forth final decree even sooner
than decision could possibly be had in 8
preliminary injunction.
Between this date and February it is
expected that the factions represented will
be able to present their arguments, picking
out those portions of the report material
in the case at issue.

HOME DYES THAT ARE FAST.
Easy to Make Beautiful Colors With the
Reliable Diamond Dyes.

Reliable Diamond Dyes.
Scores of women in San Francisco are
to-day wearing dresses of fashionable color
that would have been thrown aside long
ago had it not been for Diamond Dyes
With 10-cent package of these simple
home dyes even the novice can dye a fast
and beautiful color equal to the work of
the professional dve-house.
Cloaks. capes and shawls are readily
dyed, so that faded garment will look
as though 1t was right from the shop.
Out of the so different kinds of Diamond
Dyes II are special fast colors for cotton
and mixed goods that will not crock or
tade, even when washed in strong soap
suds. These dyes are made from a pecu-
liar combination of dye stuffs, and cannot
be had except in the Diamond.
For over twenty years Diamond Dyes
have been the standard home dyes, and
have taken the place of crude dyestuffs
and unreliable packa e dyes in all parts OF
the world. This marvellous success has
naturally inspired more or less worthless
limitations, sold to the trade at less price,
and which a few unscrupulOus dealers
urge upon their customers. The only way
20 insure success i'll home dyeing is to use
only the Diamond. the strongest, fastest
and most successful of all dyes.

The Folding-Bed Closed.

the Supreme Court has reversed the ruling
OF the Superior Court in the case of Grace
Lewis against Joseph T. Terry. The suit was
for damages for injuries sustained by the
plaintiff by the collapse of q folding-bed pur-
chased from the defendant. The folding bed
was purchased from Terry by third party,
from whom the plaintiff rented room con-
tanning the aforesaid folding-bed. The
bed closed down on her arm one even
ing and broke it. and she sued Terry, the
one who sold the bed, for damages. The de-
murrer was upon the ground that there was
no contract of sale between the plaintiff and
the defendant. but the Supreme Court recog-
nizes an implied contract on the part of the
salesman to sell folding-beds that are safe.
The demurrer is therefore overrulcd

the Receiving Hospital.
Samuel B. Thompson, the aged news
dealer, who was held by Judge Conlan on
Monday to answer before the Superior
Court on three charges of felonious as
sault, was placed in one of the steel tanks
at the Receiving Hospital to await his
preliminary examination or other charges
Last evening he became so violent that
his ands were manacled behind his back.
Thompson had distinguished several times
by releasing himself when strapped in his
cell in the City Prison, but he found the
steel handouts beyond his power.
He appeared determined to do some mis-.
chief, and by comforting his body he sue
ceeded IN wriggling his legs through his
locked arms, which brought the handouts
In front instead of behind The only
thing i'll the cell he could tamper with was
the water-pipe. He tore his clothing in
shreds and then broke the pipe. The
water poured into the cell and the noise
attracted the attention of the attaches of
the hospital. The flow of water was
stopped and Thompson was dragged out
OF the steel cell and placed in a padded
one. A suit of old clothes was procured
and he was made to don it. He remarked
that it was the first bath he had had for
long time.
When he was held to answer on Monday
his attorneys stated that they would have
him taken before the Insanity Commits
sioners, as they believed he was insane:
and Thompson is doing everything posi-
bic to confirm that belief.

MAY FOLLOW HIS FRIEND
The Confidential Man of DR..
Robinson Is at Deaths
Door.
Left Fortune While Lying Seriously
Ill in the Lane Hospital in
This City.

]. H. Redington, who was for years the
confidential man of DR.. Somerset Robin
son, the eccentric ex-naval surgeon who
recently died at Paso Robles, and who
comes in for large share of the valuable
estate of the deceased, is on what will
probably prove his deathbed at the Lane
Hospital.
DR.. Robinson, who was well known in
naval circles for years past, was very much
averse to the presence of human beings
other than members of his own sex and
never permitted women to come near his
abode if he could avoid it.
After his retirement from the service
nine or ten years ago, he picked out two
men as companions for his declining years
who cherished the same feelings regarding
the gentler sex as himself, and these
formed his company and bodyguard to
prevent the incursions OF predatory fe-
males.
One of these was T. II. Redington, the
mSn who will hardly live to come into
possession of the fat legacy left him by his
late friend. Redington remained with
DIR. Robinson until about two months ago,
when a throat disease, that had been
making rapid inroads on bis strength for
some time past, made it necessary for him
to seek a specialist for relief. He came to
this City and went to the Lane Hospital,
where he has since been an inmate
a recent operation deprived him of the
power of speech, and it is hardly believed
he will survive much longer.
Telegrams that came yesterday apprised
him of the fact that his employer was
dead, and that he had been generously
remem bered in the will.
The sock caused by the sad news
affected him seriously in his enfeebled
state, and the physicians at once pre-
scribed absolute rest, and allowed no visi-
tors to see him.
