ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Harry Kispert, a Jeweler, Charged
With Robbing His Employer.

Harry Kispert, manufacturing 1eweler
employed by Shreve& & Co., wholesale deal
ers at Market and Fremont streets, was
arrested last night by Detective Graham
and charged at the City Prison with petty
larceny.
For some time past Shreve & Co. have
been missing small quantities of gold, and
suspecting that Kispert was the culprit
they decided to place watch on him
Yesterday, it is claimed, he was seen to
appropriate three small pieces of gold and
was immediately taken to task. Kispert
first claimed that he had taken the gold
intending to make it into ring, but
finally admitted his guilt. On being told
that he was to be punished for the al
legged theft Kispert asked permission to
wash his hands. During the temporary
absence Of the men who had detected him
Kispert secretly left the place. Last even
ing he was found at his home in South
San Francisco and taken into custody
Kispert saws the arrest is all a mistake
and claims he will be able TO establish
his innocence when the case is heard In
the Police Court.

Delightful Weather at the New

Excursion Passenger Agent Mention
reports that the public interest in the
Santa Cruz excursion next Sunday con-
tinues unabated, the encampment Of the
League of the Cross Cadets being the
chief attraction. EXcursionists will
have an opportunity to witness the
cadets break camp Sunday afternoon.
The season at Santa Cruz is now at it's
height, and no more interesting spec
tacle can be witnessed than to watch
the throngs of pleasure seekers at the
bathing paviliOns. At this time of the
year the weather at Santa Cruz is de-
Hghtful and the event of next Sunday
affords a splendid opportunity for the
people of this locality to escape for
one day at least the prevailing winds
and fogs- Excursionists will have five
hours at their disposal after their ar
rival at Santa Cruz.

sale at the Grand Hotel ticket office.

CATION of all the facts surrounding l5. lle

dered all hands up" and did the shoot
ing at the store of Lecari on the san
Bruno road on last Monday night, were
compelled to turn him loose last evening
The Mission Police Department. in order
to give Lecari and his wife a fair chance
to identify Sullivan, had him placed
among five of the trustees at the Central
station Yesterday. They at once identified
him as being one of the masked men who
entered the store. Not quite satisfied
with this proof Captain Gillin instructed
his detectives to make a further 1nVesu-
CATION of SuIlivan's whereabouts on the
night of the hold-up
Acting on these instructions Graham
and Fitzgerald ascertained from reliable
persons that Sullivan was elsewhere on
the night in question. With this informa-
tion at hand Captain Gillin ordered the
discharge of Sullivan from custody.

Sam Rainey Is High in the Favor
OF the Examiner.
Scheme to Send Hearst TO the u s. Senate PIlelan
Rival Assembly District Meetings Tonight
to Organize Republican Clubs

Sam Rainey, once the despised boss
of the San Francisco Democratic pOlit-
dcal machine is now the trusted ally
of the Examiner. Gavin MCNab, whose
praises were sung by the Examiner, is
no longer exalted as an apostle of pu-
rity and reform.
Committeeman belonging to Jasper
McDonald's band of one hundred. the
five score whose authority to boss the
party in San Francisco was derived
from the Democratic State Central
Committee cannot understand why
Gavin NcNab gets the cold shoulder
and Rainey the confidence of the Ex-
aminer.
To account for the change of front
and the temperance of Rainey as con-
1idential adviser Of the Examiner. the
story is told that w R. Hearst desires
to be elected United States Senator from
California The insiders know that
Hearst entertains no admiration for
Mayor Phelan, and both the outsiders
and insiders know that the Mayors re
gard for Hearst is too slight for calcu-
lation. It is obvious to all who care
to study the drift of politics under the
surface that Mayor Phelan is In train
ing for the United States Senate. lie
expects that the Democratic party Will
some day be restored to power in Cali
fornia. and that during the restoration
a Senator may be chosen.
Phelan has lungs, money and ambi-
ton. He is not destitute of brains or
lacking in seIf-esteem. AS an all
around talker and a liner-up he can
hold his own with the hardest or the
FOUNDERS. Hearst does not care 10 IN
vite a controversy with a young man
possessing all these accomplishments.
He would prefer to see Phelan destroy
himself by getting on high horse ana
riding rough ShOd over the regular or
ganization of the party. sagac1ous
politician affirmS that this is the mean
ing of the Rainey- Examiner COMBINE.
Phelan is to be puffed up, lauded ana
heralded as a. leader above the party.
In the fullneSS Of his pride he VIII de-
mand the right TO name the ticket OF
the regular convention, and failing to
obtain this prerogatiVe viii head an IN
dependent movement.
Hearst would be highly pleased at
the sight Of Phelan boiling the conVen-
ton and joining the independents. A
candidate for United States Senator
must show a clean record Of fidelity to
the party. Boilers seldom win the Sen
atorial prize. Even Republicans who
often treat the party lash with sCorn
do not forget that D. NJ. Burns joined
the NCn-Partisans, and that his treach
cry gave TO the Democrats the Legis-
lature which elected Stephen NJ. White
TO the United States Senate.
If Phelan could be forced into the at
titude of a bolter through the smooth
work of Rainey and the Examiner.
Hearst would consider that a great
point had been gained. 1t is well un-
derstood that Hearst expects the Ex~
aminer to secure for him a pliable dele
cation from California TO the next
Democratic national convention. Ru-
NOR has reached the Committee of One
Hundred that Hearst wants a delega-
ton that can be used by Boss Croker.
The alliance of Rainey and the Ex-
aminer is the leading topic of discussion

Have Agreed to Corner Over Five

CompIicates the Situation

-aHERE is every likelihood that the
price of grain bags will rise 10 d

ouence of a combination mace py
abou+ fourteen of the large importers "a an ~
private holders, whereby over ':oYY'9oo .
bags have been cornered or set dSII9

tfon was formed two weeks ago. ana lue
nrjna has aIreadv advanced from one
eighth to one-fourth of cent the IuiliiS
rate now being 50. cents per bag.

that the latter may be sold but only py
nerrnission of committee appointed from
among the dealers who are IN the COM
bine. -
It is a well-known fact that the bag
market has been in a demoral1zed cohul-
ton ever since last year. when on account
of the shortage in crops the dealers lust
vast amounts of money and were lelt
with large quantities of bags on theIr
hands The price this year has heen as
low as cents. which, 1t IS claimed, is
lower than the importing price, that IS,
including interest long storage ana lnsur-
ance. This price recently advanced TO
ga cents, and slowly stiffened to 52s and
5as cents The dealers say it is 10 guard
themselves against loss this season Lnat
thev have agreed to lock up over 5000
600 bags by temporarily withdrawing
them from sale. They disclaim any inten-
ton of forming a trust to force prices up,
but say they have simply combined as
measure of precaution. One large i'm
porter in discussing the situation said:
1--WE have not combined to force prices
up but only to guard against future
losses Something has to be done, and
it was decided that the best way out OF
the difficulty was to remove a certain
number of bags from the possibility of
sale. If there was any combination to
raise the price bags would be selling at 10
cents each to-day
The fact remains, however, that though

Another circumstance that is affecting
the market to a considerable extent is
the TACT that four or five million bags
are on the British ship Macduff. now 162
days from Calcutta. Her destination is
Portland, Or, where the demand for bags
ever, is felt at her non-appearance as
yet and only 20 per cent reinsurance has
been offered The average trip is about
l2o days, and should the vessel fail to
materialize the bag situation would be
further complicated. \ large per cent of
her cargo has also been pledged by the
dealers as not being for sale until all
other bags are disposed of.
1t Will require about $1,000 900 bags to
move the barley and wheat crops in this
State. Oregon, Washington and the con-
tiguOuS territories. and should the Mac
duff never arrive it would mean the tax
ing up of all bags now on hand or IN
process of manufacture, with hardly
enough to go around. If the, Macduff does
not come in two weeks, the price Will

Tonight IN each of the eighteen AS
