weeks if not months to accomplish and
was carried forward under the very eyes of
the police and the public, who had daily
access to the saloon affording the blind
for all the work When the discovery was
made it was too late to capture the dirt
diggers. They had smeled a mice and
skipped, leaving their iools, apparatus and
dynamite stores behind them. The police,
detectives and everybody else was at sea
as to who could have planned and executed
this marvellous work. The whole job
smacked of experts and there was talk
galore of number of well-known bank
robbers, including the Matheny- Ryerson
gang.
The police found an idle fellow here
named Stephens, some days afterward
and put him in Jail, but after long search
ing for clews to connect Stephens with the
daring deed it was abandoned and the
prisoner released. Only few days ago
Fred l.. Jones, who formerly conducted
the saloon at the Commercial-st end
of the tunnel, was arrested at Spokane,
Wash, and brought back, and is now in
jail awaiting his preliminary examination
on the charge of com plicity in the at
tempted crime. Jones was seen to-day
after the arrival of the news OF Mccarthy S
arrest by CALL correspondent and asked
if he had heard about it. He expressed
indifference to the arrest, saying, Il don {
care how many people they arrest" When
asked if he knew a John Mccarthy,
Bigelow, Madden or Matheny he declined
to answer. Jimmy" Madden is now in
State prison at Folsom, and it is said
claims to know every man concerned in
the attem pied tunnel robbery.

at the Association
Auditorium.
Mrs. Strelitz Davis Makes Her Debut
on Her R turn From
Berlin.

A very successful concert was given last
night at the Association Auditorium for
the benefit of the Mission Y. NJ G. A
The body of the hall was well filed with
listeners, who encored most of the num-
bers on the programme, and who visor-
ously applauded all the musical fare pro-
vided.
feature OF the entertainment was the
temperance OF Mrs. Strelitz Davis, who
has been studying in Berlin for the last
year and half. She chose Liszts Hun
garian Rhapsodie," No. 10, as the medium
for presenting herself to the audience. she
played it with a dash and briliancy
which won warm applause. Mrs. Strelitz
Davis also gave a sympathetic rendering
to the pianoforte score of a trio, opus AZ,
by Niels w. Gade.
The other players in the trio were 4.
Strelitz, violinist, and II. Strelitz, 'cellist.
Margaret Davis, very young pianist,
played Weber's Invitation to the Dance
and Schubert's "Impromptu," op 142, in
very clever and appreciative manner.
Armand Solomon, violinist well
known locally, gave a clever rendering of
''Polonaise' in D major, by Wienawski.
AS an encore he played SpoEr's lovely
melody, Rose Softly Blooming" and
re eudered it so expressively that the audi
ence seemed to want a second encore.
Professor Roscoe Lucy accompanied Mr..
Solomon very effectively. H. Strelitz won
an encore for his pleasing rendering of the
cello solo, "Ellgie Hummer" He was
accompanied by Mrs. StreIitz Davis.
Nine. Hermine Smith gave a forcefuI
rendering of Rubinstein's pianoforte solo,
Waltz Caprice" to which she was obliged
to respond with an encore. She also
played Liszts transcription of Tam
hauser."
The vocalists who assisted all succeeded
in creating a favorable impression. The
California male quartet was encored, and
Mrs. E. NJ. Gallahorn and II. o. Page $
vocal duet, "Edenland," won much ap-
plause. c. H. Randall accompanied the
latter vocalists.
OF the vocal soIoists, Dr. R. W. Smith
sang Behrend's Daddy" effectively, and
Rev. J. George Gibson was applauded for
his rendering of 20 Restless Sea-" Miss
Florence Wyman-Gardner' high ringing
soprano voice was listened to with the ap-
probation it merited. II. D. Page gave a
comic vocal sketch, "The Thomas Cat That
Came in ou' Back Yard"

otter of the entertainment, gave a clever

The Police Department has tacitly
acquiesced in the request of the Health
Department that all regular and special
to act as health inspectors, and 10000
blanks are now being printed at the re-
quest of the Board of Health for the use of
the patrolmen.
Several days ago the members of the
Health Board were informed that the
Board OF Supervisors had by an ordinance
made regular and special police ex-officIo
health inspectors, and the following letter
was sent to the board by the Police Com
missioners:
Gentlemen: The Board of Health of this City
desires 10 express its obligation to your honor
able body and its thorough appreciation of
the emclent services rendered by the Police
Department in the matter of securing and in
creasing the public health of this City.
Inasmuch as there are only six regular
health inspectors, number utterly made
quate for city seven miles square, and mas
much as by order 1901 of the Board of Super
visors "every regular and special police officer
having regular beat shall be ex-officio health
Inspector the board requests your aid and

Should your honorable body cooperate with
this board we will furnish all necessary blanks

THE BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE CITY AND COUNTY
OF SAN Francisco, CAL.
Captain Healy of the Police Depart
ment called at the Health Office yester-
day and requested to be furnished with
the blanks that are used by Health In
spectors. He intimated that the request
of the board would be complied with by
the Police Department, whereupon Secre-
tary Godchaux at once ordered 10000
blank forms.
This means that every policeman in s an
Fra ncisco will make q house to house can
yass of his beat, and that every house in
San Francisco will be inspected 10 ascer-
tain its sanitary condition. The matter

robbery, but also the covering up of all
traces of their crime by blowing up the
buildings in the vicinity, as they had
thirty-one sticks of giant powder, three
boxes o. percussion caps and 200 feet of
fuse.
1t was believed that about a dozen men
were implicated in the attempt. The
planning was done in this City, and the
directions sent out from here by two
noted crooks. Matheny and Ryerson. Nc
Carthy is supposed to have been one of
the leaders of the gang of tunnelers, and
his arrest is considered very important.
There are several other men to be ar
rested yet, and it is Hoped that McCarthy's
capture may lead TO their Identification.

LOS ANGELES DELIGHTED.
News of the Capture OF the Bank
Robber In This City Well
Received.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 10-The
police of this city, and especially Chief
Glass, are delighted over the news from
San Francisco of the arrest of one John
Mccarthy, alias Bigelow, alias Madden,
implicated in the famous tunnel scheme
to rob the First National Bank of this city
Detective Bradish of this city is now on
his way to San Francisco armed with d
warrant charging Mccarthy with burg
larry. In the opinion of the police here
Mccarthy was the ringleader and planner
of the attempted bank robbery referred to-,
which in many respects has no parallel in
the annals of crime for boIdness, deter
miDation and intre pidity.
On the evening of June last this city
was stirred from center to C rcumference
by the astounding announcement that a
gang of burglars had dug an underground
tunnel from the basement of a saloon on
Commercial street to point beneath the
money vaults of the First National Bank
which fronts on Main street and is 175 feet
from the place of starting. This work
from its nature must have required many

FIVE SHOTS FIRED.
Michael Shay mpties His Revolver
Without Effect at Jack DOoley in
Mission saloon.

Without Eject at Jack DoOley In
a Mission saloon.
Felix Dugan's saloon, southwest corner
of Sixth and Howard streets, was the scene
of a shooting affray Wednesday evening,
in which Nike Shay fired five shots at
Jack Dooley. None of the shots took
effect.
Shay was promptly arrested by Officers
Regan and Marshall and booked at the
Southern station on charge of assault to
murder. He tells tale to the effect that
he and man named Jack Logan called at
Dooley's home on Clementina street yes
terday afternoon, and that Dooley's wife
gave Logan 81 to hire buggy for herself
and sister to 60 to the races at Ingleside.
Logan and himself, so Shay says, then
went to Ing eleside in a cart. While there
Shay told Dooley of Logan's receiving
money from DooIey's wife for buggy hire.
Dooley grew angry and wanted TO fight
Shay, who LETT the cart and came home in
a car.
he says he then went to Dugan's saloon,
when Logan and Dooley came in together,
with three or four more, and assaulted
him. He was struck in the eye, and con-
sequently fired the shots in self-defense.
The arresting officers state that Dooley
and Shay were quarreling in the saloon
and that the former invited Shay TO the
sidewalk for settlement. As soon as Doolev
was outside Shay stepped to the door T and
did the shooting.
Dooley's version could not be had, as he
escaped arrest by fleeing. An officer was
detailed to arrest him at his home, 135
Courtland avenue. Shay is horse-tamer,
"a years old.
