GO SANS GOODS GONE
AND WINEBERG'S NEW STOCK
WENT WITH THEM
Two Stockton Attorneys Are Ar
rested for Grand Larceny Very
Greatly to Their Surprise

STOCKTON, Jan. 1S.-Attorneys
Carpenter and Flack were arrested this
afternoon on complaint charging them
with grand larceny. On the 11th inst.
Constable Carroll sold by auction the
effects of Go Sam on an order of court
as the outcome of the suit of Hermann
against Go Sam. The purchasers were
represented by a man named Sipero. 60
Sam paid his rent up to the 21st lnst.'
but had gone away, so Carroll turned
the keys of the place over to the pur-
chasing parties, telling them that should
the Cinnamon return before the 21st he
would be entitled to the keys. A few
days ago F. Wineberg. one of the men
who was to take possession, moved $z0o
worth of stock into the place.
This morning the new proprietors were
very much surprised to find that the
place had been gutted and all the stock
sold. They learned that the store had
been entered by Messrs. Carpenter and
Flack, attorneys, who had not only sold
the stock which had originally belonged
to Go Sam but the additional stock put
in by Wineberg. They claimed that as
the stock had not been moved out, and
as Go Sam still had possession, his rent
not having expired, they had right to
proceed in this manner. The attorneys
say that they sold the stock for Go Sam
to Mr.. Christie and his wife, who have
rooms in the rear of the building. They
say that they knew nothing about other
goods than those Of Go Sans. AS far as
their having already been sold is con-
cerned, they contend that goods are not
sold until delivered, and that there was
no delivery. They declare that nothing
illegal has been done. They were re-
leased on furnishing bail for $1,000 each.

IN COMMITTEE
Senate Finance Committee Strikes
for Silver

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The Senate
Committee on Finance voted today to
report the Teller resolution, declaring
for payment of the national bonds in
silver dollars as well as gold. The vote
stood to 5. The resolution is prac-
tically the same as the Stanley Mat
thews resolution adopted some years
ago.
The vote in the senate committee on
finance on the Teller resolution was pre-
ceded by a discussion which was gener-
ally participated in by the members. The
general tenor of the discussion was on
the same lines as that of week ago, the
Republicans contending the resolution
was useless and the Democrats and
their allies taking the opposite position.
The Republicans especially deprecated
the consideration of the financial ques-
ton at the present time, saying there
was no effort and likely to be none, to
pass a general financial measure through
the senate committing the country more
definitely to the gold standard.
To this the Democrats replied by citing
the efforts of Secretary Gage and ex-Sec-
retary Edmunds to have congress take
up the question in way which looked to
placing the country definitely upon u
gold basis. They contended that it was
the evident purpose of the administration
to secure legislation in the interest of the
single standard whenever opportunity
offered, and avowed their purpose of Sc
curing a declaration in favor of the
double standard, such as was proposed
in this resolution, if possible to do so, in
order to show that there has been no
change in sentiment.
Il, they said, the business interests
were to be injured by the agitation of the
financial question at this time, the blame
should be placed upon the Republican
administration and not upon themselves.
When some of the Republican senators
were reminded that they had voted for
the resolution when presented by Hon.
Stanley Matthews, twenty years ago,
they admitted such to be the fact, but
said in explanation of their attitude that
conditions had changed.
Those voting for the resolution were
Vest, Jones (Arkansas), White. Wal
thall, Turpie, Daniel, Democrats;
Jones (Nevada) and Wolcott, Repub-
licans. Those against were Morrill,, AL
lison, Aldrich, Platt (Connecticu) and
Burrows. Jones (Nevada) was not pres
ent, but his vote was, by his request,
recorded in favor of the resolution.
THE SCALPING BILL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The House
Committee on Commerce today voted to
report the anti-scalping bill in the form
of a substitute prepared by Mr.. Sher-
man of New York. The substitute fol-
lows the general lines of the original
bill, with some additional features. 1t
places penalty on railroad officers who
deal with scalpers. Heretofore the plan
has been to hold the corporation liable,
but the new provision extends the liabil-
ity to officials, making them subject to
misdemeanor with fine or imprison-
ment on conviction. A new paragraph
is inserted in section making it un-
lawful for general passenger agents to
supply tickets to other than authorized
ticket agents.
Another substitute provision pro-
vides that unused tickets shall be re-
deemed ct any time within one year.

ANTI-HYDRAULICKERS
Take Action to Keep the Rivers
Navigable

SACRAMENTO, Jan 1S.-The regular
meeting of the executive committee of
the State Anti-Debris association was
held here today. .---
The monthly report Of the managers
and watchmen were read. The watch
men reported that they had examined
the dam at Moore's Flat and found it
total wreck. About seven-eighths of the
tailings formerly stored behind the dam
has washed away. One more freshet
will finish the whole matter. The mine
at this place is not now in operation.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
burst, Burns, Hoke, Heull, Dreman, Nc
Guire. Green and Phipps, was appointed
to visit certain mines against which
complaint has been made, and to report
to- the association the result of their
observations.
Judge James b. Devine appeared be-
fore the committee in behalf Of certain
Cinnamon, who have been hydraulicking
at Hayden Hill, Placer county, the tail
ings from their mine reaching the north
fork of the American river. The federal
debris commission, on the complaint of
the association, has withdrawn their
permit to mine, pending an investiga-
ton. 1t was decided to await the action
of the federal debris commission before
proceeding further
The present officers of the association
were reelected for the ensuing year.
Supervisor Burns of Sutter county
moved the following resolution. which
was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That the State Anti Debris
association thoroughly appreciates the
efforts made by Hon. Marion de Vries
to secure adequate appropriations from
congress for the Improvement of the
Sacramento river and its tributaries, and
that vote of thanks be rendered to
him for his labors."

CAGES MONEY PLANS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Secretary
Gage proceeded today with the currency
hearing before the house committee on
currency and banking. Today's hearing
-ook a general range, with a view to de-
veloping Mr.. Cages views on genera.
financial ccestions and his judgment OF
he various measures. including his OWL
sor currency reyision. Chairman
Walker, in series of questions, sought
% show that the guaranty required on
The Gage bill and the monetary bill on
Unsecured circulation was too great,
thus imposing an onerous burden on the
banks far beyond the losses which ex-
Derience had shown would occur. Mr..
Gage said that the safety fund of his
nill was placed at a point which he re-
garded safe, and if found too high it
ould be reduced.
Mr.. Gage stated in this connection his
opposition to the plan of imposing mu-
tual responsibility on all banks as pro-
vided by the monetary commission bill.
1t would be an unfortunate requirement,
he felt, as it would operate to keep de-
sirable banks from entering the system
and imposing on themselves response
bility for outside banks. The banker,
as rule, did not want to be responsible
for losses other than his own. Whether
the guaranty was to be by a per cent
tax on banks, as he provided. or by
a mutual guaranty from all banks, as
the committee provided, or some other
adequate plan, Mr.. Gage said he was
willing to concede this DETAIL so long as
some security for the redemption of the
bank notes was provided.
