that somebody else had bid higher for the
money Inspector Snow said that Roper
wrote to the people that loans would be
made UP to 50 per cent. of the valuation
Of real estate, and that money was plen-
ty nj Newark for loaning at fair rates OF
interest.
The case is SO important, 1t is stated.
that the authorities at Washington have
secret service agents detailed on 1t in
Western and Southern States from which
complaints have been made of the get
rich-ouick concerns in this city. It is
also said that Attorney General Griggs
is taking an active interest in the case,
complaints having been made to his de-
partment.
A man living near Plainfield is expected
to be a witness for the Government be-
fore the case before the United States
Commissioner is concluded. 1t is stated
by persons once employed by Roper that
this man paid in about $S7 in the hope
Of getting a loan, and when he did not
get it at the time he expected, was re-
quested to send on the deed to the prop
erty on which he wanted the loan.
After sending the deed he did not get
the loan, and it is stated that he received
a bill for over $500 in the transaction.
Then he put his case in the hands Of a
lawyer.
Inspector Snow said yesterday that the
Government has plenty of evidence to
produce to hold Roper for the United
States Grand Jury. but that more facts
are to be brought out about all the con-
Germs which, it is alleged, Roper had

The San Francisco call., 1899-12-26

Hudson tried couple of times to kick a
field goal Once when his kick was true
he was caught by Kaarsberg. The other
time he kicked without the goal posts
Time and again the husky Red Water and
the sturdy MetoXen were sent at the Cali
fornia line, sometimes for short gains
more times for none. The reds also lost
the ball several times on downs and fum-
bles.
All through this first half the CaIifor-
mans played as one man and. after that
costly safety" steadily and brilliantly.
They tried few trick plays. A couple OF
times Kaarsberg went over the line with
his celebrated kangaroo jump It was
no novelty to the Indians They had met
II first with Weeks. the fullback OF Co
lumbia. and. not only learned to smother
II. but Metoxen had picked II up so sue
cessfully that he worked II several times
on California for small gains. 1t would
be rather hard to pick out the men in tho
California who were playing the best ball.
All did phenomenal work, but Wor,hls

develop winning powers in the second
half 1t was known that they possessed
great recuperative powers and it was in
the nature of things 70 expect that Cali
fornia had so weakened under the re-
peated onaaughts OF the braves that
it's game would be much less vigorous
than in the first half
II was but not so much so as 10 allow
the savages to score. although they were
in California territory in all but a few
minutes Of the time allotted 10 the half.
Still it was beautifully defensive. II IL
was not successful in gaining ground.
The Indians set out early TO score and
many times were so dangerously near IL
that the crowd held its breath and waited
for the grand coup and the savage yell
that announced the lifting of the first
scalp Again and again the two teams
came together with heavy thuds. falling
in heaps. and after almost every scrim-
mage each side had groaning men on the
ground.
II was one Of the hardest games the
wards of the Government had ever been
against and they. showed IL early in the
half by getting together and holding
powwow in the center Of the field. What
medicine they concocted will never be
known and did not affect the score, al
though it undoubtedly caused a great
fornia and caused little later the retire
ment Of Smith. The doughty right half
had TO be injured twice before he would
consent 10 retire from the play. More
took his place. Clay. the left tackle. who
was against Wheelock, the captain OF the
bucks, was almost knocked out, but
stayed with the game.
The Indians. a few minutes after Cali
fornia had lost Smith. were compelled TO
retire the phenomenal Hudson. who had
got final severe bruising at the hands
OF the Berkeleyites. Roberts took his
place.
Half a dozen times in the last fifteen
minutes the Indians were so dangerously
close TO a goal that it seemed that they
could kick IL without trouble. Things
looked blue for their opponents, but they
buckled to and did not fall. and with the
ball in the hands of the redskins on their
30-yard line, the whistle blew and the
game was over. the Indians having failed
TO add to the fruits OF California's first
tumble.
II was a game that even the most en-
thusiastic football enthusiasts may not
hope TO see the like OF in years in any
country.
