Sales of Realty.
Moore & Hill, real estate brokers, state
they have had a very active week, having
made ten sales. Some of these sales are as
follows: For Charles J. Walker, 149 7

$4,000; for John NJ Henderson, 126 Seaton

Two Large Deals.

Baker lots A and B, square 1402, fronting
i0o feet on. the east side of 9Th street be-
tween K and L streets, for $4,000.
Condition of the Market.
The daily court record Of real estate
transfers shows that the bulk Of business is
| increasing, and that more realty is chang
Ing hands than has been the case for some
| time past. 1t is the experience of brokers
and others who have to do with realty mat
tiers that there is now, as there has been
Tor months past, an excellent market for
properly, and that any piece offered at
rates that show an investment is sure to
find buyer. Auctoneers report the same
condition. and their record shows sales at
excellent figures. <.
The amount of property offered at auc-
ton, especially under deeds of trust, have
noticeably decreased, WITCH demonstrates
| that people who have incum hrances on their
property are able to meet. the interest
charges. These circumstances, as well as
the additional one that money is plentiful,
and that there Is a demand for honses and
business buildings, leads observers to the
conclusion that the coming ssasen is going
to be one of much activity In the real es-
tate market.

WARRANT FOR GOV. GAGE.
Outcome of Bitter Political War in
California

A special dispatch to the New York World
from San Francisco yesterday says: John
D. Spreckles. the sugar and steamship king
and proprietor Of the San Francisco Call,
today swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
Governor Henry T. Gage on charge Of
criminal libel
This action is an outgrowth of the most
bitter political fight ever waged In the west.
On the one side are the republican state
machine and Governor Gage, and on the
other triumvirate Of newspaper proprte-
tors, John d. Spreckles, M. H. DeYoung
and Harrison Gray Otis, who seek to wrest
control from the machine.
The Call published the charge that Gov
ernor Gage had received large consign-
ments OF convict-made furniture from San
Quentin prison. the material for which was
charged to the state by means Of forged
bills drawn by convicts. Governor Gage
at once filed suits against Proprietor
Spreckles and Manager W. 8. Leake of the
Call for alleged criminal and civil libel.
They were arrested and the cases are at
present tied up IN the courts on question
of jurisdiction.
The Call, during the past week, has been
printing the evidence it has to support its
charges. taking the ground that as the
cases cannot come to trial antil after the
primary elections. the voters should become
ccgnizant of what 1t has In the way of
proof. This evidence Is in the shape of
shlpplng receipts for Furniture sent from
the prison to the home OF the governor.
Governor Gage today swore out three ad-
ditional warrants for the arrest Of Spree
kles and Leake, basing them upon articles
printed IN three issues of the Call. Stimuli
teneously Mr.. Spreckles fswore out a war
rant for the arrest of Governor Gage be-
cause OF signed statement wherein the
governor referred to theyCalI as 'hbelOus
sheet" and declared that itshad admitted
that the attacks uponq him were printed
with the object Of defeating him in the
primaries Il
Inc warrant for the governor is in the
hands of Grief of DetArtiyes Martin and
Will be served tomorrow to
Governor Gage has also filed civil libel
SUI SUI against Editor Otis of the Los Angeles
Iimes, and has announced that upon the

EX-SENATOR ROACH.
Being Treated by X-Ray - Hope for
His Recovery.

From the New York Journal
Ex-United States Senator William A
Roach, who three months ago was believed
to be dying from a malignant growth which
seventeen physicians pronounced incurable,
is improving.
The three physicians who have charge of
his case say that he may yet recover. The
senator is confident Of his recovery, and in
his home, the Huntington, No. 21s West
10TH street, the certainty of death has
given way to hope.
The case Is so curious that 1t may yet be
known in medical annals as 'the strange
story Of Senator William Roach" Last
November an operation was performed upon
him for an internal tumor He left the hos
pital and was able to move about the house
with assistance. but in the spring 1t became

affected part. The apparatus was so regu-

The attempt was being made to dry up
the tumor which the surgeons had failed
to remove thoroughly with the knife.
Gradually the dangerous symptoms have
been lessened. and at last there Is genuine
ground for hope.
