Young Man was QuarreIIins With His
Father in the Pocher once when
Policeman Was Called In-Said 10
Have Threatened TO Shoot Policy King.
On a tip that a son had threatened TO
shoot his father, Policeman Colyer went
into. AL Adams's headquarters IN Pooher
h Co.'S office, 40 West Thirty fourth street,
early on Tuesday night and found that
the ex policy king was the father In ques-
ton and Louis B. Adams the son. The
son was surroun ded b. several sober men,
who were trying to keep him quiet He
was abusing the gray haired Adams and
he was in such a condition that, although
nobody in the place would make a COM
plaint Colyer took him to the Ten nderloin
stati and had him leo ed up as drunk
and dsorderly.
On the way to the police station, Colyer
says. the young man asked the cop to let
him buy a revolver. When Colyer refused
he offered to buy the policeman's gun and
pay him well for it. In the police station
the prisoner said he was Louis Anderson
rs years old, ma rried. and lived at 50 West
Twelfth street. The blotter charge against
him says he was disorderly and intoxi-
Gated at 40 West Twenty-ninth street,
which is not where he was arrested
Before the young mans pedigree had
been entered on the blotter three Of the
men who were in the real estate office when
he was arrested entered the police station,
One Of the trio was Al Adams. They
stayed until the prisoner was locked up
Then they departed. No one in he station
recognized the former policy king, or II he
did. he didn't let 1t lie known.
Policeman Colyer says he did not know
who his prisoner was until later in the night,
ana then learned his identity from brother
officer The identity of Anderson would
probably never have become known il Al
Adams had not appeared in Jefferson Mar
ket court yesterday morning. Adams got
there early. while his son was locked up In
the prison pen. The former policy man
had no sooner poked his head into the
police court tfan several policemen spoke
to him. He made it known to them why
he had appeared in court. He said he
was tired OF his sons gOings on and did net
intend to get him out of trouble this time.
Adams didn't wait TO see his son ar
raigned. The young man was sober when
he appeared before Magistrate Barlow. He
was one of dozen ID. and D. prisoners,
and when it came his turn 10 appear Magis-
trate Barlow asked the policeman:
Where did you get this MANI"
Colyer explained where he had made |
the arrest and that the prisoner was drunk |
and raising disturbance. No reference |
OF Adams mentioned When the MaRis- I
trate heard that the prisoner had threat |
ened to shoot some one, he asked what |
the young man had 10 say.
II admit ] was intoxicated" said the |
prisoner.
s1hen you are gultyG' said the Masis-
trate.
"Yes," replied the prisoner.
He was put under 81 900 bail to keep the |
peace for six months, a rather severe PEN
atty with only a policeman as the com
to-day he will be sent to the workhouse,
The prisoner took his sentence coolly for |
no doubt he expected to be free soon. II |
he expected any help from his father he |
was disappointed, He telephoned to his
but he was still in prison when the police |
court closed for the day.
Lawyer Adams was much perturbed |
about his brothers arrest, but he would |
not discuss it. AL Adams and his lawyer
son discussed the arrest yesterday after !
noon in the formers office. Adams senior !,
would not see reporters.
Louis B. Adams is about the age he gave |
in the police station. He is the younger
OF the. former policy mans two sons.

thirg that money could buy. Both boys
had college educations.
When the Klondike craze was on, Louis |
declared his intention OF becoming gold
hunter, His father supplied him with
plenty Of cash and the young man started
away with couple Of bosom friends. One |
Of these friends was a Tenderloin police
man named Pinkney. Adams carried the
bank roll for the goldseekers and he spent
money literally. In the end his father
had to send him money to get him home
Ever since that time young Adams has
been doing just as he pleased. When Lou
Belts ran the gambling house in Thirty |
fourth street of Broadway which AL Adams |
was said TO own, Louis Adams spent a
good deal Of time there. In trying to brace |
him up his father put some money into the |
Diamond Shading Film Company. which has |
an office in the same building as Pocher a |
Co, and had him made secretary to the |
company. What father and son quarrelled |
about was not learned
