same house.
The case of William Howard ac-

pended perding his departure.

NO CONVICTS NEED APPLY.
Sheriff Johnson Taking Precautions to
Rid the Town Of Them.
What Several of His Deputies Last
Night Succeeded in Taking
Into Camp.

Several years ago Sacramento was
visited by the Industrial Army, under
the command of Colonel Inman, alias
Van r. Carpenter three-ti times con-
Wet. There were many other ex-con-
victs also in the ranks, who were recog-
nized here by old officers.
Sheriff Frank Johnson believes in
taking time by the forelock and real
izing that a sudden influx of a large
body of unemployed men would bode
no good to this community, last night
| instructed his deputies to be on the
alert for all dangerous characters who
might drift into the city. Owing to the
easy facilities with which crooks might
| keep out of reach of the officers during
| the day and enter the city at night, the
Sheriff redoubled his vigilance and sent
his deputies to guard the different APP
proaches to our city.
! About 8 O'Clock last night four hard
| looking specimens of the genuine tramp
| order those who neither toll nor spin,
| had been brought in and as they were
| being lined up for inspection Deputy
Sheriff Max P. Fisher at once recognize
| ed three of them as ex-convicts, two
of them but lately discharged from San
! Quentin and one from Folsom
| The Sheriff, who is keenly alive to the
/ fact that there is a vast difference be-
| tween the unfortunate man cut of en-
ployment trudging the country roads
| with his blankets on his back and the
| confirmed criminal who scornS honest
| labor, in no unmistakable language
told this quartet that should they again
| be seen in the confines of Sacramento
| County within forty-eight hours a good
| long sentence on the rockpile would be
awaiting them. The men did not stand
upon the order of their going, but went
| at once. About an hour afterwards
three more suspicious characters were
brought into the county bastilc, giving
the names of John Burton, Thomas
Casey and w. w. Jackson.
When searched Burton PANIED out
SD in coin, and secreted between his
undershrt and his body was a package
containing eighteen pairs of gold plated
spectacles, and attached to a leather
string suspended from his neck he had
a razor dangling. These three were
held over for further investiga ton, as

ARBOR DAY.
1t Was Appropriately Observed at the
Capital Primary School.

The Capital Primary School, Mrs.
Clara NJ Parsons. Principal, observed
Arbor Day yesterday with pretty and
appropriate ceremonies. Teachers and
pupils alike entered into the spirit of
the occasion and the decorations and
ceremonies were alike interesting and
impressive.
The floral wreaths, the starry flags
and the teachers and pupils, with their
boutonnieres made a pretty picture and
the little ones performed their parts
well. A palm was planted on one side
of the main entrance and a magnolia
tree on the other, the first being dedi-
Gated to Froebel and the second to Hor-
ace Mann.

UNEMPLOYED C0MING HERE.
Assisted on Their Way by the Stockton
Authorities.
Two Hundred and Fifty of Them VIII
Reach Here in Day
or Two.

It would seem that Sacramento IS
threatened with another Industrial
Army raid. A dispatch from Stockton
yesterday morning stated that 2o0 OF
the unemployed of San Francisco had
arrived there on the steamers Daunt-
less and Mary Garrett.
When they arrived in Stockton they
went into camp at Weber Point and
their spokesman, a man named Lefhng-
We'll, went to Mayor Bags and de-
manded that their car fare be paid to
Sacramento and that provisions be fur
nished them. The Mayor and Chief of
Police held conference and it was
decided to furnish them with provis-
ions enough to last them two days,
provided they would walk to Sacra-
mento. The provisions We're furnished
and they have started on their way.
When asked what measures he pro-
posed to take if the 250 unemployed
men reached Sacramento, Chief of Po-
lice Drew said he didn't know When
the time came, he should do his duty,
but proposed to- take c. P. Hunting
toms advice-look out for the present
and take care of the future when it got
here. With him, sufficient for the day
was the evil thereof and he would
await events before maturing any
plans. The Chief, however, said that
in his opinion no assistance ought to
be given to the men.
Mayor Hubbard stated that he did
not know what he should do if they
came here The visitation would not
be a pleasant one, but he did not be-
ieve in crossing a bridge till he came
to it

JUDGMENT SUSPENDED.
Edna Lester Will Not be Punished to
Secure tiart's Return.

Edna Lester was arraiCned in the 20
lice Court on a vagrancy charge yes
terday afternoon, and while she was de-
clared guilty, on recommendation OF
City Attorney Brown, judgment was
suspended and she was given her lib
erty.
Some time ago the Lester woman met
a young man named Hart at Los An
geles, and the couple became enamored
of one another. Hart, who is said to be
% years old, followed the woman to
this city, where he was arrested, con-
victed on a charge of vagrancy and
furnished money to return to his par
ents at Los Angeles.
He, it seems, only went as far as Da-
visville, whittier officer Maley went one
day last week to locate him. He was
found there. In the meantime the girl
had been arrested in this city and
charged with vagrancy
In recommending that judgment be
suspended, the City Attorney said he
knew of no reason why the Sacramento
Police Court should act as guardian for
a twenty five-year- boy, whose par
entS wanted him to come home. Judg-
ment was suspended pending the good
behavior of the woman.

the punches the conductors made in
