LEFT IN DESTITUT|ON.
Frank Lampach Stricken Down
and His Family in
Want.
The Case Reported TO the Police-1t
Will Be Referred to the Asso.
ciated C arites.

A pitiful case of suffering and destitu-
ton was repor ted to Lieutena Hanna OF
the Southern Police station last evening.
Fred Lampach, his wife and four children
of tender years are the unfortunates.
They live in a homely but clean little
cottage in the rear OF 152 Clara street and
within few days, if fortune does not in
the meantime beckon to them, they will
be forced to move. as they have no money
with which to renew their rent.
Mr.. Lampach has been for several
months dependent on his ability as a
street-sweeper for a livelihood for himself
and family. few days ago he was
stricken down by sickness, and one by one
his babie contracted severe colds that left
them helpless and dependent on their
mothers care. The meager income OF the
father as street-sweeper stopped alto
gether and the family was left penniless.
Last evening a stranger was informed as
to the condition of the Lampach family
and he reported the case to the police.
After thorough investigation 1T was de-
cid ed that the family was deserving one.
There was not morsel OF food In the
house, and as it was too late to call the at
tention ofany charitable institution to the
matter, Lieutenant Hanna attended to
the case and the family was supplied with
food and necessaries.
To-day the case will be placed before
the Associated Charities, and without
doubt the family's sufferings will be re.
lieyed.

Secretary Rosen berg offered a resolution
relative to the bills affecting seamen now
before Congress. Similar resolutions have
been passed by every trades union In the
United States located in a seaport town.
The resolution is self-explanatory:
WHEREAS, Section 1 of the thirteenth amend
ment OF the constitution reads, Neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude, except
as punishment for crime WHEREOF the
shall exist within the United states,
or any place subject to their jurisdiction" ;
and whereas seamen in our foreign merchant
marine trade are subject to imprisonment for
quitting work in an American port, subject to
corporal punishment for alleged mlsde-
meanors, and permitted and by mbinat1on
of vessel-owners and crimps are compelled to
sign away about one-half of their wages as a
perquisite for obtaining employment; and
whereas, these laws deprive American seamen
of their rights of citizenship and place them
on the level of serf labor; and whereas, all
other maritime nations have repealed these
antiquated and barbarous laws, be it
ReSotUed, That the San Francisco La Dor Coun-
Gil express its scverest condemnation OF the

substitutes continue the system OF corporal
punishment and legalize involuntary servi-
tude; and also
RESOLVED, That we demand that seamen's
wages shall be secured to the sailor or his

of such immense Importance to the Nation, be

BURGL AIRY AND
ALMOST MURDER
Antoine Rangel Has a Des-
perate Struggle With
a Thug.
He Identified His Assailant by
the Scarcity of His
Hair.
John Drach bar, a Neighbor Of Some
Repute, Arrested On Two
Serious Charges.

Antoine Rangel man well past middle
age, who keeps produce and poultry
store at the corner of Mission and Thir.
tieth streets, had adesperate stru- gle with
a determined burglar yesterday morning,
and badly lacerated scalp shows what
narrow escape the old man had for his
life.
According to the story told by Rangel
he was awakened about o'clock in the
morning by noise in his store, in the
rear of which he resides. He at once arose
to investigate, and on entering the store
was confronted by a man OF formidable
proportions.
Before Rangel had time to fully appre-
ciate the situation he was dealt two or
three heavy blows on the head with hard
substance which afterward proved to be
concrete. The blows, although sufficiently
vicious to lay open the scalp, did not rem
der the assaulted man unconscious, and,
with the instinct OF self-preservatIon he
grappled with the intruder. The latter
dropped his weapon as the old man closed
III on him and a hand-to-hand struggle in
the dark ensued.
In the scrimmage Rangel reached for
his assailant's hair. There was not enough
hair on the mans head to furnish a hold.
Rangei remem bered this fact, and it was
of the man now held for the crime.
Just what frightened the burglar from
the struggle, which must have resulted in
his favor. is not known. Probably be
feared the dim light which found its way
through the front door, by which he had
effected an entrance. At any rate, he lett
hurriedly. and left hat behind.
Officer Heaphey, who patrols the beat in
that neigh borhood. was notified, and from
the description which Rangei gave he at
once suspected bricklayer by the name
of john Drachbar. The latter resides
within block of the burglary and as
sault, and the police say that he bears an
unenviable reputation in the nelghbor-
hood. he is hard drinker anu some
time ago he served term for chicken
stealing. He had done business with
Rangel and was well acquainted with the
pre- misses.
Drachbar when con fronted by the Of
fcer, denied all knowledge of the crime.
He declared that he was sleeping at home
all night and offered to prove this by
Frank Barras, in the rear of whose saloon
he lodges.
The hat which RangePs assailant left
behind exactly fitted the suspected man.
Moreover, Rargel positively identified
him. He had had some dealing with
Drachbar and so knew him by sight.
bar. although young man, is
nearly bald. Charges OF burglary ana OF
assault to murder were placed against
Drachbar.
Rangels wounds are not dangerous. al
though the heavy concrete made ugly
gashes in his scalp, which necessitated
the attentions of physician. He arrived
on the scene IN time to prevent the burg
lar from obtaining anything.
At the City Prison last night Drachbar
said the officers were trying to railroad

had arrested him for stealing chickens
and the charge had been reduced TO petty
