PRBPARING FOR TEST.

Chicago. July 18--Both sides are
preparing for the test of strength
which will come this week in the
strike OF the packing house employees.
To the new men taken on in the last
few days the packers expect to add
many thousands in the next five.
Workers who have been hired. 1t is
claimed, are now on the way to the
different plants from all corners OF the
country. Office employees and heads
of departments, who have had exper-
ience in the killing rooms, have been
called in to help and teach the re-
cruits.
The packers already are equipping
their plants in western centers with
full crews of men. Within week
the plants at Kansas City, Omaha and
East st Louis will be turning out
trainIoads Of supplies, according to a
positive declaration made by one of
the packers.
Armour & Co. Morris & Co, Swift &
Co and Schwarzschild and Sulzberger
to-day renewed killing operations on a
much larger scale than during the first
week of the strike.

JUDGMENT GIVEN
FOR SANTA ROSA
Judge Morrow Decides That
Municipality May Fur
nish It's Water Supply
COMPETITION is LEGAL
Pending Contract With Il
Private Corporation Not
a Bar to Public Control

United States Circuit Judge Nor
row decided yesterday that the city of
Santa Rosa was not debarred from
competing with the Santa Rosa Water
Works in furnishing water TO the in
habitants of that town. The water
company in a suit filed some months
ago sought to restrain the city from
supplying water to the citizens and
thereby running the business Of the
company. 1t asked for a permanent
Injunction against the municipality
and for $4,000 damages.
Judge Morrow yesterday ordered
Judgment to be entered in favor of
the city with costs.
The order was oral and no opinion
was handed down.
The city of Santa Rosa is furnish
ing water free TO the inhabitants. The
expense of maintaining the supply is
being borne by taxation.
A special dispatch to The Call from
Santa Rosa last evening said that
Judge Morrow's decision has caused
great rejoicing there AMONG all classes.
The people are well satisfied with the
public water supply and believe that
their municipal prosperity would have
been retarded had the city lost the suit
and been mulcted in the damages
sought.

his effects held for payment of an over

clines to affirm or deny the story. While

of his personal habits declare that he

JACKS RANCH SUIT
DISMISSED ON DEMURRER
Judge Morrow Rules That Gore
Waited Too Long Before Bring
ing His COMPLAINT.

lHs
Demurrers in the case of John G.
Gore Jr. and Hamilton Gay Howard
vs. the United States of America,
David Jacks and the Pacific Improve
ment Company were sustained yester-
day by United States Circuit Judge
Morrow and the case was dismissed.
The suit was brought to recover pos
session of the Jacks ranch in Mon
terey County, consisting of about
5000 acres of valuable land.
The complaint alleged that the ranch
came into possession of John c. Gore
Sr. in 1853 and that in 1850 he gave a
power of attorney to F. S. Seymour
in Boston to sell the ranch for $4,000,
or exchange it for property of that
value. It is averred that Seymour
decided the ranch TO Edward Tompkins
in the same year in exchange for some
Eastern realty, which Gore alleged
was of far less value and that he had
been tricked and defrauded by Sey-
mour. He asked for restitution of the
premises or their value.

RECEIPTS ARE WORTHLESS.

Since that date 1t has been discov-
cred that after leaving the company
Gildersleeve collected premiums on
three or four policies, discounting them
and issuing personal receipts, which
were as worthless as the paper they
were written upon. From Philip b.
Anspacher. an attorney. he collected
a premium of $50. not due to be paid
until September 1. giving a receipt
signed by himself personally and not
as agent of the Aetna OF course the
Aetna could not honor the paper. He
made similar collections from Theodore
Watson Of 72S Cole street and from
Robert w. RitchIe, a member of his
own fraternity.
A day or two before his connection
with the company was severed 1t Is
said that Gildersleeve was in need of
funds. It is alleged that he obtained
blank telegraph receipts from the oper-
ator at the Palace and later presented
a message to E. H. Lestock Gregory,
local manager for the Aetna, which
stated that Gildersleeve's wife was
dying at Springfield, Mass, and sum-
moning him to come at once. On the
strength of this he asked Mr.. Gregory
to advance him 5000 for commissions
on premiums due him. This was re-
fused and on March 10 he presented
another telegram Of urgent character
and was advanced $500 from the per-
sonal account Of Mr.. Gregory.
On Monday. March IA, he left. osten-
sibly for Springfield, but 1t is not be-
Ieved that he went there. He was first
heard from from the Manhattan Hotel,
New York, and is now connected with
the Mutual Life Company at its Fifth
avenue branch, Windsor Arcade.
Mr.. Gregory said yesterday that the
fraudulent collections recited above
were the only ones that had been re-
ported. The company was in no way
responsible for Gildersleeve's actions,
as his services had terminated The
blame for the losses was with the pol
icy holders, who accepted Gildersleeve s
personal receipts without assurance
that he was still the company's agent
and without even having him indorse
their payments on the notes given for
their premiums. Mr.. Gregory said that
| Glldersleeve came to him with the best
of credentials and was a good agent.
1t was reported that Mr.. Anspacher.

The San Francisco call., 1904-06-03

]. Burt Gildersleeve, society man,
college graduate and life insurance
agent, left San Francisco on March
IA last and in the light or recent dis
closures he will have no desire TO re-
turn to the exclusive circles that ad-
mitted him here. 1t is only because
of the softheartedness Of friends whom
he betrayed that the young man VIII
be spared the humiliation of racing
criminal charge in the courts. They
say that he has been punished enough
and his career as an insurance agent
will shortly end because his 'unpro-
fessionaI' acts in San Francisco have
been reported in detail to every lnsur-
ance company in America.
Gildersleeve had literary and athletic
tendencies and, besides being connect
ed with the editorship or the Chap
arral at Stanford, he was manager OF
the university's football team two years
ago. He was a college man and had
married in the East before he came TO
Stanford. After graduating from the
latter institution ne entered the en-
ploy of the Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany as a solicitor in this city. He
wrote policies for his friends, class
mates and fraternity fellows and they
say that he was a most persistent ana
convincing solicitor. He continued as

months. his services ending on March
