Their Late Dispersion Was Only
Au ReVoir, Not a Final
GoOd-By.
NOT OPPOSED TO LOW LICENSES,
Only a Few Wholesalers Will Favor
the Omaha and Chicago
System.

From facts that have come to light in
the past few days it is evident that the
recent dispersion OF the Wholesale LIQUOR
Dealers Association was not an abandon
ment OF TIE fights in which they are en-
gagged.
Abou. month ago il was announced
that the large order hal folded its ten Is
and stolen away from tse battlefield, but
there was no purpose to bid final fare
well. They Will soon reorganize on a
sohd basis and do all in their power to
oppose nigh license and other doctrines
which they consider heresies
The retail dealers are still organized &"
sail }. B. Garland Yesterday, "and thew
intend to c,ntinue. Tney will doubtless
be seconded Ill their efforts before MANY
days by new wholesale order As to the
original wholes lers' organization it NAV
be said that the body contained the seeds
OF disin tegratlon at the time il was organ
lzed. A very small clique at once as
sumed the relnS of government and ran
things its own way. | mean to say that a
few men ran thu thing their own way re-
gardIess of the riGnt~ of the masses and of
the interests OF all the wholesalers in the
citv.
ut is reported on high authority that
the wholesalers viii reorganize on a more
substantial basis. There has never been a
time when there was o mucn need for the
liquor interests to get together for their
mutual protection. The California State
Protect Association, which consists
wholly Of retailers, is still very much
alive 1t has still plenty of work ahead
AMI there is need for it.
Prominent wholesalers, who declined to
nave their names quoted. deny that thev
were instrumental in having the old Or er
dlsbaud because they favor high license.
Only one tficlai of the defunct order is
sud TO have viewed high license with
favor. The masses of the wholesalers
agree with the position taken by Super
visor Lackmann, that high license would
iail, as 1t has done, they say, in Omaha,
Chicago and elsewhere. The new orpani-
cation will probably take the position
that The present license system of San
Francisco is the most satisfactory that
could be adopted, as 1T allows q number
of groceries TO thrive fairly we'll which
otherwise would be compelled to close out
their business. They also say high Ii
censes lead to great political corruption.

Promised Very Largely In
creased Incomes From
Their Property.
THERE WILL Be 4 PROTEST. MADE.
Residents of the District Will Garry
the Matter Into Court if
Necessary.

A syndicate of ca pitalists has been en-
gagged for several weeks past in negotiat-
ing with property-owners on Trenton
street, between Pacific and Jackson, 10
secure that thoroughfare for the
women who have been driven
out OF ST. Marys street and Quincy place.
The men who are at the head of the syn-
dicate believe that ii thew can only obtain
the consent of the propertv-owners along
Trenton street to lease their houses for
immoral purposes no objection will b,
raised by the SUPERVISORS.
Not few OF the owners whose houses
have been unOccupled for some time have
gree Oily accep ed the proposition, as they
have been promised rents grtatly in ex-
cess OF what they formerly received. The
men who are back OF th. scheme have
been working through an agent, and The
interested property-ownet say that they
do not know who he is.
lie has been amply supplied with money
and has promised the owners to clve tn IN
gIlt-edge bonds to guarantee that any con-
trscI made by him with them will be
strictly carried out. In one instance. he
made an offer of $500 a month rent for tue
use OF eight houses. 1t is simply q money
making scheme on the part of the svn-
dicate, and If they carry out their plans
without opposition from the Supervisors.
they Will be amply rewarded for the guar
anteed leases.
Trenton street runs between Stockton and
Powell and is in IA ather thickly populated
neig hborhood. The owners of prope rtv
ad dJacent TO the thorou. hfare object 10 the
establishment OF the nuisance In that
vicinity and are now considering the ad-
visibility OF employing counsel to carry
the matter into court if necessary.
There is consl0era bic travel along Pa
cihc and jackson streets, and the resi-
dents of tn district contend that to es-
tablish houses on Trenton street woul be
equally as great nuisance as to have
them off California street, between
Keerny and Dupont.
The objection Is also made that there
are two schools in the neignborhood The
Normal School is situated on Powell
street, between Wa hington and Clay, and
there is another public school on Powell
street, between Jackson and Washington.
Many of the pupils pass along Pacific
street on their way to the schools, and for
that reason it is argued that the situation
would be much worse than it has been on
Quincy place and st. Marys street. The
property-own contiguous to Trenton
street declare that if the property is leased
for the purposes conte m plated they will
not rest until they have forced the Super
visors to compel the women to find new
quarters.

Fred Porter, Alias Brown, Locked
Up in the Tanks in the
City Prison.
WAS CAUGHT On MISSION STREET.
When Searched Jimmy and Slung-
shot We're Found Concealed in
His Vest.

Detectives Ryan and O'Dea yesterday
afternoon arrested clever crook, who is
strongly suspected OF being one of the
des perate burglars who have been oper-
ating in Oakland and Alameda. he was
captured on Mission street and locked up
in the tanks of the City Prison.
The name of the suspect is Fred Porter,
alias Brown. He was arrested in Marti-
nez some time ago while in the act of
breaking into a house and sent to San
Quentin for TWO years. He was DIS
charged several weeks ago and came to
this city.
After committing several petty bur-
glaries he crossed the bay, and was shortly
afterward joined by another ex- convict,
whom he had met in the peniteutiary.
Together they cracked" a numb Der of
houses, securing property valued at sew
eral thousand dollars. f nding that they
were being "shadowed" BY the Oakland
police. the men returned to this city, evil
IDENTIFY intending 10 ply their vocation
here.
When arrested Porter had Jimmy"
and slungshot secreted in the lining Of
his vest.
He persistently denied that he ever was
III " ihlanu, ana ueHeQ the arreStlng
officers to prove otherwise.
After being apprIsed of his arrest
Captain Bohen at once telegraphed to the
Chief of Police of Oakland requesting
him TO send an officer to this city for the
purpose OF identiiving the suspect. De-
teciive Holland subsequently arrived here
and Immediately repaired 20 police head
quarters.
Porter was then taken before him, and
after carefully sizing him up the Oakland
detective expressed the belief that he was
one OF the daring house ebreakers who have
been operating in the city across the bay.
When questioned by Holland, Port T
admitted that he was an ex-convict, but
denied having been in Oakland.
I'm crook, all right" he is said to
have remarked, "but you'll have a hard
Job proving anything on me-"
Holland requested Ca aptain Bohen to
ho.d the prisoner until he could get suffi-
Gent evidence to connect him with at
least some of the numerous turgIaries
committed IN Oakia and Alameda.
Detectives Ryan and ODea will also in
vestiCate his brief career in this CITY. as
they are almost convinced that he is re-
sponsible for several small! jobs com mitted
south of Market street The fact that a
slungshot was found in his possession
leads the detectives to believe that he
might have been engaged In the footpad
industry.
