Successful Liquor Raid at Ludlow
and Proctorsvllle.

States Attorney ]. &. Harvey
Sheriff Spafford and Deputy Sheriff
Hoffman raided the Goddard house
at Ludlow Wednesday night and al
the same hour Deputies Peck, Kin
Try and Justice Darrah made an at.
tack on the Eagle hotel at Proctors.
VILE. Both raids were pretty Sue
cessful. Considerable liquor but
more empty bottles were found, AS
we'll as several elaborate and eXpen-
sive gambling outfits, which were
likewise seized. Many complaints
had been made to the states attorney
about these places recently and Il
general house-cleaning was the re-
suit of the raid he organized.
AT the Goddard house, four and Il
half barrels of beer and large
number of empty lager beer bottles
were found. II. III. Fox is the
present proprietor of the house. In
searching the Eagle hotel at Proc
torsville four rooms were found IN
which liquor was stored under the
floors, covered by carpets. In one
of them, that of the new proprietor,
II. w. Smith, y bottles If liq.n r
were discovered, several of them
containing whiskey and gin, the
others empty. No beer was found
there.
On Thursday morning the furni.
ture store of George Smart at Proc
torsvlllc was searched, where Il
couple of jugs and Il bottle or two of
liquor We're brought to light.
Before Justice Darrah Thursday
morning Smith pleaded guilty to
liquor selling, his fine and costs
amounting to SIS o6. Smart also
pleaded guilty and settled for
SOLOS. Fox, of the Goddard
house, claimed that he was not sell
ing "hard stuff" that his beer was
not Intoxicating, and to allow an
analysis to be made his case was
continued.
The officers also report the seizure
of Il couple of gambling nickel-in-
the-slot machines, one of them in
operation at the Eagle hotel in Proc
torsville and the other in John Keat-
ing'> pool room ut Ludlow both
doing houri>hing business. They
are said to be owned by "Bunco'
Ryan of Rutland, for whom papers
are now OUT.
The visit of the officers was Il
complete surprise to the interested
parties in both places and the result
will doubtless he Il temporary de-
preston in the liquor.seling bust
ness in that neighborhood.

The memory of James Lick was re-
vered by the thousands of. visitors who
went through the halls and class rooms
OF the California School of Mechanical
Arts at Sixteenth and Utah streets yes
terday. 1t was the fourth anniversary of
the founding of the institution.
At o'clock yesterday morning the trus-
tees, with George A. Merrill principal of
the school, made an inspection of the
premises, and afterward the trustees and
q few invited friends were entertained
at luncheon, the repast having been pre-
pared by the cooking class Of the school,
Later on the parents of the pupils and
their numerous friends began to arrive,
and kept coming and going until late in
the afternoon.
In fitting harmony with the character
of the founder Of the school, instead of
being a holiday of recreation it was one
of activity with the teachers and pupils.
The 260 young San Franciscans, male and
female pupils, were busy at their studies
in the sewing, cooking, drawing, wood
,-Horking and forging departments. In the
latter department James Spiers, who is a
master mechanic and one of the proprie-
tors Of the Fulton foundry, spent the en-
tire day with the pupils in the machine
shop, instructing them in the many mys-
terles OF iron work.

Annie Murphy, Alias "Lady Wash

WAS RELIEVED OF HIS MONEY
AND A WATCH.

James B. McCrary, a private In Bat
terry /, Third Artillery, last night caused
the arrest of Annie Murphy, alias Lady
Washington" on a charge of robbery.
On the night of August Is McCrary,
while taking in the tenderloin, met the
fair Annie. She claimed she was a re-
cent arrival from the East, and she had
money to burn as she expressed it.
After having several drinks McCrary
foolishly accompanied her to a room at
25l1 Stockton street. While he was asleep
on the lounge the woman saturated a
handkerchief with ether and applied it
to his nostrils.
The overpowering fumes of the drug
aroused him to realization of the dan
ger, and he vainly attempted to get pos
session of the handkerchief. The woman
held him until the drug had rendered him
unconscious, and she then went through
his pockets, taking all the money he had,
amounting to $42, and a silver watch
McCrary lay in a semi-eonscious condi-
ton until the following day, when his
heavy breathing attracted the attention
of the landlady., who, becoming alarmed,
summoned Police Officer Fennell. The
latter succeeded in resuscitating the SOL
der, and after learning the story started
to find the woman. Failing to locate her
he gave a description of her to Police
man Colen, whose beat Is in the tender

dives on Grant avenue, but was unable
to find the woman. After diigent
search he finally located her yesterday
afternoon In clearinghouse on Grant
avenue. She was at once taken to the
City Prison, where her name was regis
tered on the small book Last evening
McCrary positively identified her as the
woman who had drugged and robbed
him. When questioned by the police the
fair prisoner admitted that she had met
McCrary but denied that she had reliev-
ed him of his money.
