investigation, that both crimes were COM

satisfied that the perpetrator was a mu-
latto who managed to keep his identity a

months BOhen, satisfied that the muir
derer had left the city, gave up all hopes
of ever catching him.
When Wilson was taken to police head
qarters Thursday night the veteran de-
tectlVe at once recognized him from a

from him anything that would tend TO
incriminate him.

ridicules the suspicion that he is the
stranger and claims to be able to prove
his innocence when it is necessary. He
also disclaimS any connection with the

While convinced that Wilson is the

little hope of convicting him. They, how

charges of grand larceny in robbing the
women of the tenderloin, and possibly an
assault to murder in throwing the Leon

NATIVE SONS ARE OFF.
A Large Delegation Takes the Train
for Salinas.

San Francisco's delegates to the Grand
Parlor of Native Sons, which opens this
morning at Salinas, delegates from other
parlors throughout the State bent in the
same direction and many members of To-
cal parlors left the depot at Third and
Townsend streets at o'clock yesterday
morning bound for the county seat of
Monterey County. The scene at the depot
was the liveliest witnessed for year.
There was music in the air and the per-
fume of orange blossoms and spring flow
ers. There was plenty of music and fly
ing banners and floating streamers and
any number of people to see the boys off
for their destination. A long line of gayly
decorated cars had been provided for the
delegates to the Grand Paror and their
fellows, and when the whistle blew and
the bell changed for the start they were
whisked out of the yards and on their
way amid such a burst of cheers as has
not walked the echoes on the shores of
Mission Bay for many moon.
Ahead of the passengers is a week filled
with all the pleasant things that the
members of the order and the citizens of
Salinas could possibly crowd into such
limited period. This morning the dele

Golf Clubs will be played off. the choice
lying between the Burlingame, San Ra-
fac! and Del Monte courses. The San
Rafael course is hardly ready for play,
as no one competent to direct its lay
ing out has been in charge of it, and it
is felt that Burlingame in it's soil and
general nature too closely resembles the
Preside links to be strictly neutral. Sew
eral of the San Francisco players, too,
are members of the Burlingame Club, and
so are familiar with the course. Thus the
Del Monte links seem to be the only ones
that meet the requirements of the case,
and it will probably be decided to play
here.

Both and Reinhold Bode.
The dancing was under the direction of
Johannes Garben, floor manager and
Johannes Jarr, assistant floor man

The total number of entries received in
San Francisco amounts to 500. In addi-
ton to these the entries taken at the

the mails from the country and the
