THEY ARE UTTERLY FALSE
Charles Erickson Brands the
Examiner Statements as
Entirely Untrue.
The Yellow Journal Is Again Brought
Up With a Round Turn for Its
Unreliable Reports.

suit which it claimed Charles Erickson
was about to bring against Prince Ponia.
towski was as false as its previous articles
relating 20 the same matter.
Mr.. Erickson denies emphatically the
statements made by the off-colored jour
nal, and asks that the following letter be
given publicity:
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26 1897.
To the Editor of lhe Ca l. San FrdnciSco-DEAR
SIR: see III this mornings Examiner that
one OF my lawyers, Samuel Shorlridge, insists
upon connecting Prince Poniatowskrs name
with The West Coast Construction Com pany,
TO VIII ch tn Il gentleman is a perfect stranger.
Technical discussions as 10 Classification OF
some of my work arose some time ago between
myself and that company, but have been since
all stIaightened out.
l wish you would rectify the series of false
statements published in the Examiner, under
n olives which | cannot explain, by Mr.. Sholt l.
ridge, whose services had simply secured in
case / should have been compelled to go TO
law. l nave never been in relation with the
Sierra Railway Company, but simply with It's
contractor, the West Coast Cons ruction Com
pany, herein above mentioned All my
accounts with that concern rendered have
been settled In full. Yours truly,
CHARLES ERICKSON,
Grand Hotei, City.
In speaking OF Lne mdIter laSC nlRnt,
Mr. Erickson said: "The articles which
appeared in the Examiner containing
tatements alleged to have been made by
Mr.. Shoriridge are utterly without truth.
There never was any lien, for there was
always a chance for settlement, but if a
settlement was not made | was prepared
to fight. Prince Poniatowsk1 had nothing
TO do with me, a my dealings were
directly with the West Coast Construc-
ton Company. A Sc e,tlement which is
satisfactory TO both of us has been made
by Mr. Bullock, and our differences arc at
an end.
"The Examiner articles supposed to
have bsen furnished by Mr.. Sh ortrid ge
but which were never so done with my
knowledge or advice, are entirely untrue.
So far as the articles relate 10 Prince Po-
niatow Xxi they are all false, as had
nothing to do with my contracts. If Mr.
Shor,rdge gave the infor nation printed
in the Examlner-whlch l doubt-he was
mistaken about the facts. l do not know
of any reason why he should make any
such statement, and l don't believe that

my life, said Deputy Sheriff D. {. Cam

better class of citizens are worked MP 10 a

the advisa bility of consulting some physi-
clan in regard TO her condition, which
they cons dered was becoming more
alarming every day. Upon her rival in
this city, therefore, Miss Warner at once
applied 10 DR.. Hirschfelder for advice.

careful study of NJ IS Warmers ailment,
with the result that yesterday he informed

port with reie renee TO the nickel-in-i he's ot
machines. We have investigated the char
and effect of these machines. and in thu t
inves tigation, after listening to much testi-
mony, have come to the conclusion that the
these machines should be suppressed.
The tes imony tak"n, as well own
personal invesiiga lion in the premises, sat-
isfy US that these instruments are most pe--
nicious in their effects and serve simply to
foster the gambling sp ri among both young
and ola. They are gambling devices
pure and simple, as must be patent to any
candid intelligence; and in this statement we
are pleased 10 find ourselves supported by the
positive opinion oil the District Attorney and
also by the opinion of Judge Morrow OF the
I'm ted States Circuit Court.
We therefore recommend for adoption by
your body the following resolution:
WHEREAS, The Observation-Disclosures machine Is

community, fosters spirit OF gamb bling, not
only among adults, but also among our
youth and so usually operated is essentially
dishonest md fraudulent; and whereas
these machines are merely gambling

circuit Judge in defiance OF laws
against gam bling; and whereas, though this
jury may not, under the law, indict the pro-
prietors of these debauchiug devices, vet, as
good citizens and anxious for the effective ad-
ministration of the iminal law and the sup
preston of gambling scnemes, this jury feels
tha It should express itself clearly in en-
phatic opposition 10 these unlawful and per-
nlcious instruments; therefore, be IL
Rescued, By this, the Grand Jury of the city
ana county OF San Francisco, that the nickel
in the-slot machines are unlawful and most
pernicious gambling devices worthy only of
the severest condemnation and the most
prompt suppression; and be 1t further
Res0lucd That in order to bring about the
Suppression OF these instruments this Grand
Jury requests the Board OF Supervisors and the
Chief OF Police of said city and county to
adopt every means in their power, within the
law, to bring about the condemnation and
suppression OF these fraud ulent devices; and
be it further
Resotred, That a cory of this report aud
