fair started the report last night that 1.-two men and boy" had attempted to steal the mammoth gold brick which is the principal feature of the California exhibition.
 It was claimed that the alleged thieves had entered the building from the base ment, crawled through the tunnel and were in the act of stealing the gold brick when two guards discovered them. They were placed under arrest and taken to the office of some priva,e detective agen- cy, so one of the men in charge stated.
 For some reason the man who told the refused to disclose the name of the de- tective agency, nor would he tell the names of the supposed desperate robbers. The police ridicule the story told by the enterprising man connected with the fair.

RAIDER ATTACKS
 THE P00LR00MS They Are San Francisco's Greatest Evil, the Minister
 Says. Flames Ingleside as Beinq tn @ Nucleus of Existing Gaming
 Houses.

AS prelude to an able sermon on the End of the World" Rev. William Rader of the Third Congregational Church last evening delivered an address before a large congregation condemnatory of the Ingleside racetrack and downtown pool rooms. In part, the minister said:
 "The greatest evil that exists, in my opinion, in the neighborhood of this city is the Ingleside racing track. Although I am not in the habit of going, and in consequence cannot speak from experi- ence, have knowledge of the debased in- fuence created by this evil from the pa pers and from many numbered among it's victims.
 T have no authority to speak against the legality of this great gaming institu- ton, as It Is sanctioned by the State, but l can proclaim against it's immortality even though 1t bears the dignity of legal ity..I oan oor,no .,
 its environfng influences to a great spider that has woven web of sin over the en- tire community. Its victims are count less, and among them men in the gloam- ing Of existence, women in every walk of life and boys who leave their homes in- tent on honorable duty. but who are weak and are ensnared by the glanior of sporting life.
 This much for Ingleside, against which but little can be said, as 1t bears the stamp of legality, but out from it springs These poolrooms, unlike Ingleside, are running wide open, right in the heart of the city, in direct violation of law. Or dinance after ordinance has been passed in endeaVor to suppress these gambling dens, but notwithstanding Supervisors, judges, courts and police they run and prosper. lowing to this fact it is time that the ministers of the gospel should rise up and assist the authorities in their fight for purity and right. Women are forced to remove their hats in theaters, Chinamen are forced to quit gambling death, but the poolroom evil lives on And murderers, drunkards. broken homes, blighted hopes, ruined young men and women and poverty are it's children"

L. 1T. Scarborough, a Farmer From
 Fresno, Becomes Insane.

I. H. Scarborough. a farmer from Fres- no. called at police headquarters yester- day morning and complained that some men were bounding him to kill him. He was living at 126 Fifth street, and Satur- fav night four men came to his door and tried to force their way in. He grabbed his revolver, but found that some one had tempered with it, and he made his escape from the room.
 Corporal Geimann talked with him for a few minutes and saw that his mind was unbalanced, and he was sent to the Re ceiving Hospital and placed in padded cell. He had $11 in his pockets and a check for $40. He will be taken before the Insanity Commissioners this morning.

Scandal Discovered In Cemetery in Jcru,

London, March Truth today, as a
sequel to the request made that Its
editor take steps to expose an alleged
scandal in regard to the sale of the
American cemetery at Jerusalem by
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions, says:
1.-THE American missionaries and the
consul represented that the bodies
were reverently eXhumed and were re-
moved. But the action of Lord Sails
bury in having the pit in the English
cemetery In which they We're reburied
opened in order to recover the remains
OF an English officer led to the CHASTITY
discovery that all the bodies had been
broken up and packed in small wooden
boxes, so that neither the body OF the
officer nor any other body could be
identified. Both the removal of the
cemetery and the removal of the
corpses appear to have boon carried out
in an extremely disgraceful manner"
The sale of the American cemetery
at Jerusalem is alleged to have been
made to replenish the funds of the
American board OF foreign missions.
and secrecy, 1t is added, was observed
because the sale was contrary to Turk
ish law. Friends of Englishmen whose
bodies had been buried there are said
to have protested to the state depart
ment at Washington, to the United
States minister at Constantinople and
to the British foreign office. Eventu-

Central Americas Military Forces.

Washington, March LIN the event
of a war between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, 1t Is said that the alliance known
as the Greater Republic would give to
Nicaragua the armed strength Of Sal
vador and Honduras. The NicaraEuan
army is estimated at about 5000 men.
Salvador has not more than 5000 SOL
diers, but Honduras has the best armed
and equipped force in Central America,
numbering 10000.
Against these the Costa Rican army
of about 5000 seems insignificant. But
in the present calculations 1t is thought
that Guatemala would cast her in
fiuence with Costa Rica. Guatemala
has an army of about $4,000. In this
event, the forces would be about evenly
matched, with Nicaragua, Honduras
and Salvador arrayed against Guate-
mala and Costa Rica.
The basis for the view that Guate-
mala may be drawn into the contro-
versy is the fact that the new president
of Guatemala, Senior Estrada Cabrera,
was special envoy to Costa Rica
when the latter country was in n for
mer conflict with other Central Ameri-
can states. At that time Guatemala
was looked upon as the ready alliance
OF Costa Rica, and 1t is thought that
Cabrera would again incline to the
same alliance.
