DOUBLE HOLD-UP
NEAR THE BEACH
Lone Highwayman Fails
to Get Booty for
His Pains.
w. 0. Nolen Tells to Police
Tale of How He Was
Approached.

The bold highwayman who has been
operating in various sections of the city
for several weeks was heard from again
last night. He held up a man and a wom-
an in close succession near the automobile
road on the park boulevard, but for the
first time since he began to ply his trade
he received nothing for his pains.
Shortly after o'clock w. o. Nolen, a
waiter residing at 127 Hyde street, was
walking along the boulevard with his
6-year-old boy. AS he neared the automo-
bile road he was startled to see a man
spring out Of the brush by the roadside
and advance to within a few feet of him,
pistol in hand.
The highwayman did not point the
weapon at Nolen, but simply said, Il
am sorry, my friend, but 1 am afraid
that 1 will have to trouble you for some
money. 1 have just enough to take me
over to Oakland, but l need some more,
so you will oblige me greatly if you will
hand over your coin"
Nolen by this time had recovered his
Self-possession and he informed the high
wayman that he had only 10 cents in his
pocket, just enough to take him home.
The robber did not believe this and be-
gan to argue, when suddenly a man was
seen coming down the road.
Then, according to Nolen's statement,
the robber said ''Well, 1 guess 1 will
have to bid you goodnight" With that
he turned and ran in the opposite direc-
ton and disappeared in the darkness.
Nolen does not know who the other man
was, but thinks he was one of the en-
pIoyes at the life saving station.
Nolen then proceeded on his way to-
ward the Beach Tavern, but before he
had gone hundred feet he met woman
and little girl The woman appeared
to be greatly excited and she ran up 10
Nolen, saying, Don't go this way. 1 have
just been held UP. 1 did not have any
money, but the highwayman frightened
me awfully."
Nolen says that he continued on his
way and that the woman and little girl
went in the opposite direction. He says
that he did not ask the woman her name
and the police authorities have not heard
from her
Nolen went to the park station and re-
ported the hold-up there. officers Rey-
nolds and Bonner were detailed on the
case, but they were unable to find any
clew that might lead to the identity of
the highwayman.

HEALTH BOARD PROTESTS.
Declares That Civil Service Commits
sion Ignores Ruling.


sion Ignores Ruling.
The Health Board met yesterday and
ordered communication sent to the Civil
Service Commission notifying that body
that it Will continue to appoint and en-
ploy certain temporary appointees until
the commission certifles more than one
name from the eligible list for each posi-
ton. Notwithstanding the opinion of the
City Attorney that the names of more
than one eligible must be certified for po-
sitions, the Civil Service Commission per
sists in certifying only one name, and the
Health Board holds that this action
makes the commission virtually the ap-
pointing power.
The owner of the premises at 500 Stock
ton street was given thirty days to put
them in sanitary condition. Health Officer
O'Br1en said he was opposed to granting
time to put buildings in sanitary condi-
ton without first vacating them. 1t was
explained that the Chinese boycotted
buildings that were vacated and the own
ers were obliged to pay the tenants to
return.

A FALSE CERTIFICATE
Confesses That He Paid Ten Dollars
to a White Man Called
Frank

merry fleet recently and who was
arrested for being illegally in the
country, was ordered deported yesterday

Heacock His name is Leong Sing and

duced was in the name of Jeong Toy,
signed by o. NJ. Welburn, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, and dated May 3, 1894.

removed and that of Leong Sing substi-
tuted. In order to do this it was neces-
sary to make a forged seal or that por-
ton of the seal pressed upon the photo
graph Leong frankly confessed that he
had paid SO for the certificate to white
man called Frank.

TIBURON, Sept. 17.-There was little

RAILROAD MEN
OUT ON STRIKE
Employees Of California
Northwestern Have
Quit Work.
Trouble Results From the
Dismissal Of a Member
Of a Union.

A long expected strike on the California
Northwestern Railway was inaugurated
yesterday morning, when about $50 men
employed in the company's paint and car
penter shops at Tiburon and as deck
hands and freight handlers walked out.
When the steamer Tiburon reached her
berth on this side of the bay at $3.50
in the morning the deckhands went ashore
and simultaneously the freight handlers
abandoned their trucks and the men in
the shops across the bay quit work. HaV-
ing prepared themselves for an emer-
gency the officials of the road soon had
another crew aboard the Tiburon and
traffic was resumed after a short delay
The shops, however, may be closed for
some time, for the company admits that
1T has made no attempt to replace the
men who have walked out and may not
do so for time at least.
The trouble is the result of the refusal
of President A. w. Foster and General
Manager H. c. Whiting to recognize the
United Brotherhood of Railroad En-
ployes' demand for the reinstatement of
one of its members who was recently
discharged. Wednesday a committee from
the organization waited on President
Foster and formally demanded that the
discharged man be placed back in his
old position at once. The meeting failed
in its purposes in so far as the United
Brotherhood of Railroad Employees was
concerned. for, following policy adopted
by the company some time ago to the
effect that it would not recognize any
labor organization in matters bearing
upon the relations between itself and its
employees President Foster refused TO
treat with the committee and consequent
ly denied its members an answer to its
demands

NO ESCAPE FOR
DEPUTY GAMBLE
He Will Be Prosecuted
to the Uttermost
Limit.
White Men Implicated With
Chinese in the Substi-
tuition Case.

Nothing new was made public yesterday
in the matter of the Chinese substitution
case. United States District Attorney
Woodwork denies the report that Deputy
United States Marshal William p. Gam
bic viii not be prosecuted because of his
confession duplicating Chinese and white
men composing the substitution ring. On
the contrary, Woodwork declares that
Gamble viii be prosecuted vigorously, as
his confession supplies all the links that
may be missing in the case and removes
all possibility of a reasonable doubt in
his favor.
United States Marshal John H. Shine
would not answer questions as to whether
he had dismissed or suspended Deputy
Gamble.
Il have nothing to say was his reply
to all interrogatories.
Deputy Gamble was in the office dur
ing a good part of the day and left the
Appraisers building alone at APO p. m.
Ever since The Call published that he had
made confession he has refused to answer
any questions. His friends, of whom he
has many, still stand by him and will
back him to the end Notwithstanding
that he has yielded TO temptation. He
can be indicted for no offense greater
than a misdemeanor, the maximum pun
ishment for which is one years impris-
onment in the County Jail or a fine.
The Federal Grand Jury will meet on
Tuesday and Friday of next week and
the case may be presented TO them at
either session.

MASTER MECHANIC REBUKED.

When President Foster learned Of the
action of his master mechanic he prompt
ly rebuked that official in a letter in
which however, he ordered the discharge
of Mcdonald because the latter had in
voked the aid of outside influences in
an effort to regain his position instead
of bringing his grievance before the prop
er officials of the road. Continuing the
discussion of the affair, President Foster
said:
Our company long ago took the stand that
it is none Of its affair II its employees become
members Of unions or other organizations but
it refuses to recognize the latter in matters
pertaining to the management of the road or
the conduct of the employees. When a man
has a grievance regard it as matter that
can be readily settled between the individual
and the executive officers Of the road. Had
Mcdonald carried his case to this office 1t prob
ably would have been settled in a manner sat
isfactory to himself, for as 1 have specifically
set forth in letter to Master Mechanic Bras
sill who acted in indiscreet way, he had
no right to discriminate against man be-
cause he happened to belong to a union. In
stead of presenting his troubles to the Off
Gals of the company Mcdonald carried them
to an organization entirely foreign to the road.
That reason and only that reason was re-
sponsible for the order of his discharge issued

GROWS OUT OF DISMISSAL.

The strike followed The brotherhood
in explaining its ground for yesterday 8
walkout sets forth that recently one of
its members A. D. Mcdonald, night
Waterman employed at the company S
yards at Tiburon, was promised promo
ton to a position of fireman on the
steamer James NJ. Donahue by Master
Mechanic BRASIL, and from the latter
he received letter recommending him
for the place. Noting that Mcdonald
wore badge of the brotherhood. 1t is
charged that BRASIL withdrew his let
ter, remarking that he would not recon-
mend for promotion man who belonged
to the organization. Mcdonald reported
the matter to the officers of the rgani-
cation, who proceeded to take the ques-
ton up to General Manager Whiting, and
this move was followed by the discharge
of Mcdonald Efforts to have the watch
man reinstated failed and a strike was
decided on. In reviewing the situation
yesterday President Foster said that 1t
was true that BRASIL had revoked his
letter of recommendation because he had
discovered that Mcdonald was member
of the brotherhood, but the master me-
chanic had acted without authorization
from the officials of the road.

WANTS FEWER TRACKS.
Reed asked that the company be limited
TO twelve tracks in all on Sixteenth street
from Pennsylvania avenue to the waters
of the bay, exclusive of the tracks of the
Santa Fe system. of which the Southern
Pacific Company will have the joint use
I'VE ask for twelve tracks in addition
TO two already laid along Seventh street
which will make fourteen tracks in all
crossing Sixteenth street" said Jere
Burke, for the Southern Pacific Company.
Reed persisted in his demand that the
tracks be limited to twelve, but Burke
said the company had made all the con-
cessions 1t could in the matter
I'VE have one double track crossing
Sixteenth street" said Burke, land we
must insist on twelve more tracks in or
der to handle our business. Two tracks
less will make our franchise valueless in
view of the concessions we have already
made. Ten tracks would result in more
distractions by passing trains than
twelve tracks The main track will cause
but little obstruction to teaming"
George Renner, manager of the Dray-
mems Association, argued that the OBJ
structions would be less with fourteen
tracks than with six, if the company
would agree TO keep the roadway in good
4 would suggest that the company in
crossing Sixteenth street use the 'grooved'
rail" said Renner.
Chief Engineer Hood Of the Southern
Pacific Company agreed to put any rail
down the street which the board
deemed to be the best for the purpose
Renner favored the widening of Six
teenth street. Reed said his client wanted
the street widened by twenty feet but
the company would widen it by ten feet
only.
At this point Burke stated that he was
authorized to announce that the Southern
Pacific Company would pay all claims for
damages resulting from changes of grades
along the route of the bay shore line upon
the final passage Of the ordinance The
damages will be assessed by City Engi-
neer Grunsky. The ordinance will be
finally passed on December q, 1903 I'M
