ANXIOUS TO GET PRICE.
Police Omcials Concerned About the

Police Omcials Concerned About the
Bank Sneak's Return Here.
Inspector Hollinberger and the members
of the detective CORPS are anxious to get
johnny Price here. now that he is un-
der arrest in New York. He was appre-
hended on charge of having stolen
81 .6S2.S6 belonging to the Metropolitan
street railroad, as published in yesterdays
Star.
Detective Carter went to New York last
night with a requis1ton for Price, and 1t
is possible the case will be herd before
United States commissioner today or to-
morrow. No details concerning the cap
ture and Incarceration of the noted bank
sneak have been received by the police.
1t is thought, however, that he did not
have much money on him, for such men as
he seldom carry large amounts. especially.
when they know the police may overhaul
them at any time.
Price, the authorities have learned, had
a box in New York safe deposit COM
pany, but they do not know whether the
laws of New York will permit the police
to take possession of the box. or whether
the law will protect 1t from their search.
Price is indicted for alleged grand lar
ceny. Under this law, upon conviction, he
cannot be given more than three years in
the penitentiary. and then he may get six
months off for good behavior. This pen
atty covers the theft of amounts exceeding
theft of millions.
On the other hand. the offense of house
breaking may be punished by sentence of
ten years in prison. and in a case of this
kind 1t is not necessary to show that the
burglar took two cents worth of property.
In the event of Price being held by the
United States commissioner to answer the
charge here, he may not be brought here
until next week.
Carter Arrives In New York.

r. Jones testified that on the morning of
Septemb Der he found thirteen horses in
the stable. Nine were in starving con-

puiseless and so weak that they had to
lean against the sides of the stalls. Under
cross-examination Jones said in his judy
ment the horses had nothing to eat for
four or five days previously and had
splinters in their teeth, some OF them q
quarter Of an inch long, chewed off the
stalls
De Vries said he had notified the cap.

three days before the IaSt of August that
the supply OF hay would soon give out
and was told 10 borrow from Warren &
Maliey, the contractors.
He did so until they would let him
have no more. The ordinary rations for
horses in the regular army, he said, were
twelve pounds of hay and twelve nounda
of grain daily. Thew were also allowed
two pounds for bedding. On Septemb Der

When the matter of The change was first
discussed by the Sather directors there
was disposition to postpone definite ac-

settled. The election of Mckinley. with
its accompanying return of confidence
and boom in business, fastened the

The Sather concern is one of the Oldest
financial institutions in the CITY. 1t was

founders are long since dead, but the bank
has continued to ride along with the years
until its history is in part the history of

SECRETARY BENNETT AGAIN.

ne ASKS tHe CuiDeu states NOuIC
to Take Him Out of Jail.
c. R. Bennett formerly Secretary of the
Society for the Prevention OF Vice, filed
an appeal yesterday in the clerks office
of the United States District Court from
the judgment of the Supreme Court OF
the County of Alameda.
The paper reciIes that Bennett was
tried for an assault with intent 10 com.
nit murder, and that he was convic ed
Of an assault with deadly weapon. A
new trial was granted, and without any
new information or indictment he was
tried for the original offense-assault with
intent to commit murder, and was con-
victed. He contends chat the second con-
viction is null and void, because his con-
viction on the first trial OF the offense of as
sault with deadly weapon amounted to an
acquittal on the charge of an assault with
intent to commit murder. He therefore
pleaded ''once in jeopardy" on an appeal
to the Supreme Court ofsthis State, but
that august body dec ared that there was
nomerit in his contention. and decided that
he should serve his sentence OF one years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary. This

The conversion of these two banks into
national affairs, it is said, MARKS an era
in the local financial word. AT the pres
ent time there are but two national banks
in this city. Heretofore the principal
commer rcial banks of the city have oper-
ated under State charter and California
has been one Of the most tardy States TO
avail itself of the work ngs Of the national
banking law. The rumor that the law will
be extended so as to increase the clrcula-
ton of national banks, it is said, is the
reason for the coming changes. Vice
President Bigelow admits that the Ne
vada Bank has decided that it can do
business more advantageously under a
national charter.
The word is out on the streets that
other banks are about to follow the ex-
ample of the Sather and Nevada people.

FREE With HIS CHECKS.
Henry Oubridge, a Man With
Aristocratic Notions,
Arrested.
Represented Himself as Member of
the Burlingame Club and of
Noble Blood.

Henry Oubridge, who, according to the
police, has been passing himself off as a
memoer of the swell Burlingame Club
and relative of Lord Alnwick of AIN
wick Castle, Northum berland, England,
was booked at the City Prison yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea
on a charge of having fictitious check in
his possession.
Oubridge hired a horse and buggy from
r. L. Coles livery sta bic, 246 Third street,
Tuesday for a drive in the park. When
! he returned he was unable to pay the So
hire, but gave Coles son a check for $500
on the Bank of California payable to HIM
self and signed j. B. ToDin'' TO hold as
security for the money. He returned in
about an hour and wanted a carriage and
team, but Cole refused TO oDlige him, tell
ing him he did not think the check was
any good.
To im press Cole with his importance be
told him he was a member of the Bur-
lingame Club and was in receipt of lots
of money from England part of which
helped TO elect Mayor Thomas of Oak
land. He also handed him a card on which
was written in pencil, "Algernon Percy,
Lord Anwick, Alnwlck Castle, Northum-
berland," and he also minated that he
was scion OF the house of Percy. He
also gave the name OF DR.. Greeley, the
veterinary surgeon on Golden Gate avenue,
as A reference.
Next morning Cole took the check to
the bank and was informed that 1t was
worthless. OubTidge meantime had asked
n. DAVIS, saloon n-keeper. 235 Third street,
10 redeem The check. He was due Davis
81 or SIS for liquor and wanted him to take
the amount out OF the check. Cole had :,
however, handed the check to the police
and Oubridge's arrest followed.
Oubridge told the detectives that he got
the check from a friend and left it with
Coles son just 70 keep for him, as he in
tended 10 go back next day, pay the So
and get the check.
