weeks ago a young man with one leg. a
crutch and pretty wife arrived in this
city and took rooms and board with Mrs.
Codding. who conducts a clearinghouse
on B street. The couple gave their name
as Kingsley, and claimed to be from New
York. week ago they visited the cy-
clery of George c. Schelling and arranged
to purchase two Sterling wheels They
picked out two that suited, paid the first
months installment and then disappeared.
When the couple did not return to the
clearinghouse Mrs Codding entered
their apartments and found that their
effects had been quietly removed A war
rant was sworn out charging Kingsley,
whose first name he had given as Roland

few days later he was found and arrested
at Pinole and brought to this city by Con-
stable Peerman. His companion remained
at Pinole. Kingsley appeared before
Judge Brown this morning. pleaded guilty
and was given ninety days.

Or, to-day it is learned that Kingsley has
an interesting history. His right name is
r J. Brown. He is an expert lumber man
with the Oregon Pine Lumber Company
of Portland He is also an expert stem
ographer. Some time last fall he left
wife and two children in Portland and de-
camped in company with a young lady
of good family, who was his companion
in this city. Further investigation de-
veloped the fact that while in San Fran
cisco Brown obtained position as stem
ographer with Parmelee & Bowker, on
Sutter street. Later he was employed to
take testimony in the Regan case. He is
man of good appearance. When seen
tonight he admitted his identity.

J0KERS ALMOST BREAK
UP A BLOOMER SHOW

LINCOLN, Nebr., May S.-Two hundred
young women. members of the physical
culture class Of the Nebraska State Uni
Versity gave a public drill in boomers
at the armory this evening, although it
looked for a while in the afternoon as
though the exhibition would be declared
OF. The uncertainty was due to the sud
den appearance on the dead walls Of the
city OF red letter posters reading as fol-
lows:
Grand attraction, Great stock exhibit
Finest troop of trained calves ever seen
in the West. VIII be on exhibition with
out fail. Calves of all sizes and ages will
go through the most wonderful and start
ling performances known to the age
in the State will be there. Also few
choice ones from surrounding States
Every one come. Admission free. with
music"
Friends of the girls in the bloomer class
took in the situation and started out COM
mittees in all parts Of the city to remove
or Obliterate the circulars. In spite Of
the fact that the girls had been drilling
for many months for the exhibition, many
OF them declared with tears they would
not go on. The university faculty at
once convened but has been unable to
place the responsibility for the bit Of
pleasantly. It is known committee of
two dozen male students played the Joke
but threats and promises have availed
nothing toward discovering the guilty
ones. A number of scrimmages have Oc-
Cured among the students and friends of
the girls.
The drill was gone through with, how
ever amid cheers, the girls wearing
boomers and red cheeks. The girls con-
tend that their physical culture class cos
dress worn by women bicyclists through
out the city.

OPIUM SEIZED BY
PRISON GUARDS
San Quentin COnViCts
FOiled.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN, May S.-The dill
gence of Captain of the Guard Birlem
and three of his men led to the discov
cry to-day of an extensive plot to
smuggle opium into the penitentiary.
The discovery was made by accident
and the officers secured nearly ten
pounds of the drug Two convicts who
acted as ringleaders in the plan to
bring in the contra band article are
shackled to the walls of the dungeon
tonight, and about twenty others will
receive lighter punishment
Ever since the Legislature made it a
felony to bring opium upon the prison
grounds the dope fiends" have given
a good deal of trouble and a few have
had to have medical treatment on ac-
count of the scarcity of the drug. To-
day they were all in good humor in
expectation of their latest plot proving
successful. Captain Birlem scented
danger and cautioned all the guards to
be vigilant.
About sixty five men work daily up
on the Tfburon boulevard and are
known as the road gang. They have
lately been under the charge of Guards
A. @. Kelly, George Wiley and J. D.
JOHtS. II OI the past lew QdyS THESE
guards have noticed that some person,
presumably an ex-convict, was skulk-
ing in the brush near the scene of the
work. To-day Gage" Wilson, a pris-
oner serving a long term for a bur
glary committed in San Francisco, was
detected by Guard Kelly in the act of
removing quantity of opium from a
can buried close to the boulevard. Will
son was searched after a severe strug-
gle, the other prisoners being prevent
ed from going to his assistance only by
the threat that they would be shot A
quantity of the drug was found con-
cealed in his shoes and hatband.
The men We're then marched in and
searched at the tower gate. About
twenty had opium concealed on their
persons, the total quantity aggre-
eating nearly ten pounds in weight,
enough to have kept the prison well
supplied for month or two. Wilson
and al Young, his pal" who is serv-
ing seven years for grand larceny in
Los Angeles, We're placed in the dun
geon and the others will be punished
as the Prison Directors may decide.
Captain Birlem took the opium found
to-day and all that discovered during
the last three years out into the bay
in a small boat this evening, and at
taching weights to the large packages
cast them into the water. There was
so much opium that only one assistant
could be taken in the boat.

NEW YORK, May S.-AccOrding to
a dispatch to the Herald from Wash

fugitive president of the Investors
Guarantee and Trust Company of
West Virginia. was arrested here last

structions from Captain McCloskey of
the New York police department, who
says in his kilograms that an officer

burg, "of the capital of those who re-
sponded to my advertisements. 1t is

street. 1 played the market at both
ends. First l went long and then 1
went short in the hope of making a
big winning, but the whole thing
proved disastrous and that is the end
of it"
Why did you leave suddenly. doc
tor?"
That was my mistake" he replied.
Il should have remained in New York
and faced the situation. That would
have been better. l am perfectly will
ing to return to New York, and will go
at any moment without legal formal
ity. l want to exonerate my wife, who
has no guilty knowledge of my trans
actions. l kept her in ignorance"
Dr. Hogelsburg has in his possession
a mass of Cancelled checks, but is

APPO|NT
BY Mr.. GAGE
DIR. Cranz Now a Dental
Examiner.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO May S-Governor
Gage this afternoon appointed Dr.
Louis T. Cranz of San Francisco to be
a member of the State Board of Dental
Examiners, vice DR.. Thomas Morffew
of San Francisco, resigned. 1t is under
stood DR.. Cranz was supported by Sec
retary of State Charles F. Curry.
The changes made in the State Board
of Agriculture by to-days appoint
ments by Governor Gage are being dis
cussed here tonight with reference to
the probable effect upon the position
of Secretary now held by Peter J.
Shields of Sacramento. Shields, who
was private secretary to Governor
Budd, was recently elected secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture, to sue
ceed Edwin T. Smith, also a Democrat,
who had occupied the position for a
number Of years. Shields assumed his
position on April l. He had some oppo-
sition on the board at the time of his
election and the question now is
whether the new members will aug
ment the list of his supporters or that
of his opponents.
The appointments to-day comprise T.
D. Cobb of Stockton, vice c. NJ. Chase,
deceased; Grove L. Johnson of Sacra-
mentO vice John Boggs, deceased; NJ
d. Chamberlain of Woodland, vice F.
D. Cobb, term expired; D. E. Knight of
Marysville. vice John Mackey, term ex-
pired; j. E. Terry of Sacramento, vice
George H. Fox, term expired The
other members of the board, completing
the twelve, are A. B. Spreckels, J. II.
Wilson, w. p. Mathews, A w. Barrett,
Park Henshaw, Fred Cox and F. w.
Covey.
The salary of the secretary is $500 a
month. Politicians here seem to think
that the new, board will affect Mr.
Shields tenure, although it is pointed
out that he has the friendship of mem
bers of the board of politics differing
from his own, and that nobody who
has yet been named stands as good a
show as himself for the place he now
occupies. Shields is said to be on quite
friendly terms with Governor Gage,
and it is not known that the latter
had the matter of the secretaryship in
mind when he named the new directors
On the other hand, it is contended by
some that the Governor will really have
the naming of the secretary.
