SEEK TO PROFIT
BY NATION WOE
Charity Promoters" Use
Names Of Leading
Citizens.

Seeking to profit by the national grief
over the death of President Mckinley,
the so-called charity benefit promoters
are abroad in the city. One of them came
to grief yesterday in an effort to inveigle
a number of prominent citizens into a
scheme whereby he and his confederates
could work the city for contributions
toward the Mckinley monument fund. He
made mistake by attempting to make
use of the Press Club, many of whose
members are familiar with the records of
his iIk.
Martial Davoust called upon the officers
OF the Press Club on Wednesday. He
claimed to represent a committee of citi-
zens including in its membership such
Barnes Bar esiO Gn e. Hen HI Gmbsen. SS Major Hooper r.
John Z. Gallagher and number of 9TH
ers. This committee, he explained, had
started a movement for benefit to swell
the monument fund, which it desired to
give under the auspices of some reputable
club, which Should lend its name to the
affair ana have charge of the financial
end. Davoust was told that the Press
Club would consider the matter and give
him an answer on Friday.
An investigation was at once instituted,
and the alleged members of DaVouSts
the result being about what the Press
Club officers had surmised. 1t was found
ter into his plans by claiming to represent
the Press Club and then had sought to
interest the club by posing as the repre-
sentative Of the citizens committee.
General Barnes Indignant.
General w. H. L. Barnes, whom Da-
voust had declared to be leader in the
movement, sent a communication TO the
Press Club board of managers and also
appeared before them in person. He said
that he had been approached by Davoust
and after the latter's scheme was unfold
ed had scented trickery and absolutely
refused to permit his name to be used
unless he received authentic assurance
from the officers of the club that the
proposition was bona fide. When the gen.
eral was told that Davoust had put him
forward as a prime mover in the "bene-
fit" plan and that he had even been de-
clared to have suggested that Davoust
and his associates should get 25 per cent
Of the gross proceeds for their efforts IN
promoting the affair he denounced the
schemer in emphatic language
John P. Gallagher also appeared before
the board, and others on Davoust's com
mittee" sent communications in effect
similar to that of General Barnes
Having heard these statements the club
them, presumably to have him explain
his plans more fully. He was led on bY
questioning until the full details of his
nefarious. project were laid bare. Then
clubs investigation and in way that al
most took his breath away. President
Slower gave warning that any further at
tempt on his part to make use of the

to the door.
Davoust was well equipped with sta
tionery bearing the names of prominent
men as his associates in the benefit
project. 1t is understood that he is at
tempting to interest other clubs in SINH
lar schemes in connection with the Nc

LANDLORD HENRY
ASKS LEGAL AID
Warrant Out for Arrest
Of Woman and Real
Estate Man.

c. F. Henry, who until few days ago
was the proprietor Of the Audubon Hotel
at HOS Hyde street, secured a warrant
from Judge Fritz yesterday for the ar
rest of Mrs. Minnie Leslie, alias Ellis,
alias Henry, and Henry F. Kredo, real
estate agent in the Flood building, on the
charge of felony embezzlement. 1t is al
legged that the woman and kredo have
left the city together and Detective Cody
has been detailed by Captain seymour TO
discover their whereabouts.
The woman was employed as house
keeper by Henry and called herself Mrs.
Henry. Henry left for a trip East Sep
tember 5, and as he wanted to sell out he
placed the matter in Kredo's hands, fix
ing his price at $500. He had asked that
sum from Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert, who came
from the country, and were anxious to
purchase.
Henry returned from the East last We'd
nesday and found Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert
in possession of the hotel. They explain
ed that last Saturday they bought the
premises through Kredo from Mrs. Henry,
who alleged that she was Henry's wife,
for $500. Henry made an investigation
and discovered that the woman and her
two children left the hotel early Sunday
morning and that Kredo disappeared at
the same time. Henry declares that the
woman had no authority whatever to sell
the property and will commence a civil
suit to-day to recover it. The loss will
fall upon Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert, who are
innocent dupes of the woman and Kredo.

Q OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. @
REMEMBER IN HOLY MASS
THE CITY'S PATRON SAINT
Franciscan Fathers Celebrate the An
niversary of the Feast of the
Founder of the Order.

The Franciscan fathers in charge Of ST.
Anthony's Church yesterday celebrated
the feast of ST. Francis of Assissium
their founder, after whom the city of
San Francisco is named. The date is in
timately connected with the history of
San Francisco, for in 1776 the first church
at the Presidio of San Francisco was ded-
.icated on the feast day. The services
consisted of a solemn high mass and a
sermon by Rev. Father Sesnon of San
Rafael, who spoke in part follows:
If there were charity in our hearts, would
we have read of the assassination of our dear
President? What led on to it? The want of
charity and the love of neighbor. Let
pray to-day that good st. Francis will ask
so that We need not read of so much vituper-
alton and so much fighting and scandal. 1t
seems if when people have troubles to-day
they rush to the press and think they can get
their revenge that way. If the good ST. Fran
els were to appear on Market street to-day and
on the water front. he would say: Co. boys
and make up. Look at the life of Him who
and don't stain beautiful town with such
deeds as have taken place. Not violence not
vituperation, not calumny to arouse the pas
sions of men did st. Francis teach, but he
taught them the way to Almighty God Let
me say this: Oh, If could only have spark
Of the love of Christ in our hearts, the love
which filled the heart of St Francis, then
city which is the pride of the coast and of
the United States, would then be Christian
and a perfect city because the reign Of Christ
would prevail. Christ would be known and
loved and the enemies Of men-the flesh and
the devil-would be put down"
