COLLECTOR REMOVED.
Mr.. WeIbOrn's Arrest Ordered on the
Charge of Criminal Conduct.

Charge of Criminal Conduct.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Secretary Gage
to-day, by telegraph. appointed Mr.. b. M
Thomas acting collector of internal rev
enue for the San Francisco district. This
action was taken on receipt of a report
from a special agent of the department
stating that he had discovered wrong do
ing on the part OF Collector Welborn in
connection with the administration of the
collectors office, and that Welbon had left
the city to avoid arrest. The special agent
in his report said that Welborn was guilty
either of making a dummy appointment
and pOcketing the salary attached TO the
place or Of making an appointment under
an agreement to divide the salary, either
of which would be illegal. 1t was stated
a the Treasury Department that Welborn
had expressed a Willingness to refund the
money wrongfully taken, but had asked
that he be given a short time to raise the
money from the bondsmen of his deputy,
who committed suicide some days ago,
leaving a shortage of about $4,000. The
special agent asked for instructions on this
requeSt and was directed TO grant rea-
sonaDle time if Welborn was known TO be
personally guiltless of any wrong doing. A
different aspect was put on the affair, how
ever, by the receipt of another telegram
from the special agent saying that new
evidence had been developed showing that
Welborn was guilty of criminality, and
that he had either abscondcd or was in
hiding. IT was also stated in effect that
checks given in to e. G. Aiken, on which
WelbOrn had realized. were fraudulent. He
is also said to have removed from the
checkbook some checks for June salaries.
Acting on this information. the special
agent was directed to place Welborn under
arrest.

Carbondale, Go to Their Grand.
parents.

Judge Edwards yesterday refused to
give John Norton, of Carbondale, the
custody of his two children, Rose and
Matthew Norton, aged 1 and years
respectively. Ten years ago Norton
married the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Devine, of Carbondale. 1t is
alleged that his habits were not of the
best and the care of his wife and their
children fell upon Mrs. Norton's pa
rents for considerable portion of the
time.
Several months ago Mrs. Norton died
and her parents, who had possession OF
the two children, refused to turn them
over to the father. When his demand
for them was refused he secured writ
of habeas corpus, which was disposed
of by Judge Edwards.
In delivering his opinion he said he
was moved wholly by a desire to have
the children properly cared for. He felt
that with the father that care would
be uncertain. 1T may be that after q
few years of continued good conduct
on the part Of the father" said Judge
Edwards, "and satisfactory proof of
his ability to provide for the children,
he may convince the court that he is
entitled 20 their custody. This remains
to I've SEEN"
In the meantime the children have
been remonded to the custody of the
grandparents, the father to have the
privilege of seeing them at reasonable
intervals

A FINE PERFORMANCE.
Given bv the Corse Pavton Company
at the Academy.

The Corse Payton company had
fiattering reception last night at the
Academy OF Music. The house was
packed from pit to dome and it was a
very we'll satisfied audience that saw
the first performance in tine weeks
repertoire. The company is one that

Tor to many high-priced combinations
which often create furore with far
less attractive plays.
Mr.. Payton improves with age and
he is not growing to be a patriarch by
any means. He is the same inimitable,
restless, rollicking and charming per-
sonage as ever. He is DeWolf Hopper
ish with something beyond that in ver-
satility. When he is on the stage he
occupies the undivided attention OF the
audience, although this is not accom-
plished with the supreme selhshness
usually attributed to stars.
