.IMPOSTOR FORD
IN GAY PARIS
Young Social Highwayman
Who Victimized Many San
FranciscanS Is Heard OF
MULCTS THE BRITISHERS
Turns Bic Crooked Trick
in London and HastenS
to France for Safety

Members Of the Bohemian and Olym-
pic clubs and young men about town
are deeply interested in bit of news
fresh from Paris to the effect that
Paul Ford. who cut a wide swath in
San Francisco several years ago and
finally decamped after victimizing
large number of newly made acquain-
tances. including the members of the
officers mess at Angel Island, is now
enjoying the fruits Of his IN gotten
money in a life of luxury in the gay
French metropolis.
As Paul Waterbury, a name which
he has recently adopted in order to
conceal his identity, he is splurging
about Paris and Monte Carlo. riding in
his own carriages, keeping a private
establishment and boldly mixing with
visiting Americans whenever he is per-
mitted.
Five years ago Ford suddenly ap-
peared in San Francisco and with a
fortunate faculty of making friends
he was soon mingling with the best
people Of this city. He was admitted
to private homes, received cards TO
the various clubs and enjoyed the dis
tinctiOn of being one Of the few civil
ians who could go and come at will
from the island military fOTtresses.
Ford's local career, however, was a
short one, for one day a gentleman
who had been victimized by him in the
East exposed him as a social high
wayman and to support his accusa-
tiOns, which society was 10th TO be-
lieve. he produced a photograph OF
Ford, taken in an Eastern peniten-
tiary, where Ford had served time for
forgery. The published story of FOrd's
double life was a sensational affair
and was quickly followed by his dis
appearance. 1t then became known
that he had been borrowing the jewell
ry of many of San FranciscO's young
society buds and pawning it in order
to get funds.
A few months after the expose Ford
was discovered in FL PasO, where he
became involved in a quarrel with a
frontier official, whose wife he attempt
ed TO mislead. The irate husband over
took him after a long chase and was
busily carving up the young impOs-
ter when outsiders interfered.
From Texas Ford managed to reach
London, where he assumed another
name and with a fiimsy project. the
sale of a supposed big stationery con-
Germ in this country, he succeeded in
mulcting the British investors out OF
a sum reported to be in the neighbOr-
hood of $4,000 pounds. Lacking the
courage of the Whitaker Wrights.
Ford was not slow in getting beyond
the clutches Of the English law and
landing in Paris he took the name Of
Waterbury and has since been spend
ing his British gold in that gay city
in a manner that has attracted gener-
al attention

HIS WHITE HAT
NOW A MEMORY
McCarthy'S Famous Chapeau
Filled With Mayonaise
by Some Unknown VandaI

The white hat of White Hat Nc
Carthy" is no more. vandals have
sacrilegiously filled it's depths with
duck soup, mayonnaise, pate de fol
gras and other foreign substances,
which may nourish mortals but are IA
tai to millinery.
The crime was committed at the
Terrace Gardens. Mccarthy entered
wearing the famous headgear, as well
known a land mark in San Francisco
as Twin Peaks. The band struck up
This Is the Hat My Father Wore -
whereupon Mccarthy smiled the smile
Of a gracious monarch, who acknowl-
edges homage done him.
With graceful dignity he sat down
at one of the tables and deposited the
historical headgear by mis- side. He
never suspected that any one had de-
signs upon the white hat of White
Hat Mccarthy" What wretch dared
lay hand upon it?
He raised a tankard to his lips and
when he lowered it the white hat of
White Hat Mccarthy" was gone. Con-
sternation tied his countenance into
knots. Waiter" he shouted. Where
is my hat?'
Did you have a hat?" inquired the
garcon, whose name was O'Houlihan.
Did 1 have hat?" gasped McGar-
thy. Did have a hat /, Mccarthy,
White Hat Mccarthy, had the hat.
Where were you raised that you ask,
Did 1 have a hat?"
Down the line the news flew that
''the white hat of Mccarthy is miss
ing!" If the ferry clock had taken a
hike UP Market street to call on the
lady on the City Hall dome or the
Twin Peaks had matched for a twenty
round go, some surprise might have
been expressed. But White Hat Nc
Carthy's chapeau anywhere but on his
Uranium! Surely this was topsy -turvy-
dom.
Policemen, walters hackmen and a
mixed gathering aided Mccarthy in the
search for the relic 1t was soon
found, but alas, poor bonnet, we knew
it well. 1t was curtains for the cele-
brated hat! The owner added his
tears to the fluids already in the head
gear.
Then his righteous wrath uprose and
he demanded damages from the propri-
etor. A conservative estimate of the
value Of the skypiece runs into six fig
ures.
White Hat Mccarthy may wear an
other white hat some day, but it will
not be the white hat. The white hat
Of Mccarthy is only a memory and in
time it will become a legend

MURPHY FINDS
A NEW WITNESS
Charles G. Buckley Will Give
Testimony FavOring Man
Under Sentence of Death
REPRIEVE is DESIRED
Copeland, the Alleged Real
Slayer of Rice, Is Said
to Be in Dakota Prison

Attorney Frank j. Murphy. who is
la6oring to save William Buckley from
the gallows, unearthed another impor-
tant witness yesterday. The necessary
affidavit will be secured as soon as pos
sible and then the whole matter will be
laid before Governor Pardee
The new witness is a machinist
to be in Chico. He is not a relative of
the condemned man and was not ac-
quainted with him. His story will be
that he met China Copeland. the al
legged murderer, on the night of the
shooting of George Rice. Copeland, he
says, met him in a saloon at the corner
of Second and Natoma streets and,
drawing a revolver from his pocket, re-
marked: THAT has made one less scab
in the world to-day" Buckley bought
him a drink and advised him to clear
out as soon as possible. The witness
has refrained from telling his story be-
fore because he feared that the police
might try to get him into trouble.
Murphy says that he will save his
clients neck because he believes the
man is innocent and hints that he may
be able to show that large number of
men were concerned in the conspiracy
to kill the non-union man. Detective
Thomas Ryan has made affidavit to the
effect that he suspected "China" Cope
land and John Granfield did the club
bing and shooting and that he learned
both men had fled on the night of the
murder. Alfred Rosenholtz. chemist,
has come forward with the testimony
that a man clad in dark clothes, dark
hat and of dark complexion did the
shooting. Buckley wore light clothes
and a light hat and is of light complex
ion.
No revolver was found on William
Buckley at the time of his arrest and
he was in sight of some one of his pur-
suers all the time after the crime until
he was captured. No revolver was
found at the scene of the crime. Muir
ply hopes by Charles Buckley's testi-
mony to show that Copeland had the
revolver. The alleged murderer is said
to be serving sentence in Dakota
prison.

A fire started at 20 Hoff avenue at
the residence of ]. G. Calhoun yester-
day afternoon, which threatened the
destruction of nine flats. The timely
arrival of the fire apparatus prevented
the flames from extending beyond the
premises where 1t originated. The up
setting of a cooking stove was the
cause. The damage done to the prem
ises, which is owned by Nj. Ristow,
will amount to about $4,000, and that
to Calhoun about $4,000. with nominal
damage to one fat adjoining by smoke

streets, carrying transparencies, led by
brass bands and making the campus

The present outlook is decidedly fav
orable to the success of the Republican
party in every Congressional district in
California. Livernash made a bad
break as candidate for popular favor
at the Alhambra Friday night last
when he suggested that his Republican
opponent, julius Kahn, in making
house to house canvass of the Fourth
District should follow the commercial
instinct of his race and take with him
a box of collar buttons and basket
of suSpenders.
FIRST DISTRICT.
Congressman ]. N. Gillett, who is
making a splendid campaign for re-
election as the representative Of the
First District, was at Republican head
quarters at the Palace Hotel early yes
terday morning. Indications point to
his reelection by large majority. He
is one of the ablest of California's pub
lie men and the'people have the great
est confidence in his Judgment and in
tegrity.
Duncan f. McKihlay, Republican
nominee in the Second Congressional
District, and State Senator Charles NJ.

gifted speakers took on the character
of an ovation.
Z. A. Hayes, Republican candidate
for Congress, Fifth District, and H.
d. Porter will talk to the men of the
Union Iron Works at noon to-day.
FOURTH DISTRICT.
The prospects of Republican victory
in the Fourth District grow brighter
every hour. julius Kahn is daily re-
ceiving assurances of support from
workingmen who voted for his oppo-
nent in 1902. The Republican State
Committee counts the Fourth District
as safe. In the Second and Fifth dis
tricts the Democrats are putting up a
determined fight, but confidence in the
success of the Republican cause in
each district is increasing. Advices
from Sacramento are to the effect that
the Republicans will win out in that
county by a majority exceeding one
thousand. Two years ago the Demo-
Gratis carried Sacramento County on

is claimed that of the ninety pu-
pills who were placed in charge of
a piece of ground only one failed
to raise a satisfactory crop, he
being boy from the farm, the
excuse In his case being that he
''had enough of farm life"
A number of instances have
been called to our attention
where city boys have attained a
marked degree of success on the
farm, this success being appar-
emily due to the fact that they
appreciated their close relation
ship to things in nature. and es-
pecially that they relish the fact
that things in the country are
what they seem, while in the
city life and labor are veneered
in character.
In this matter we are not sure
but what the city boys are prov
ing themselves a little sharper
than the country lads who turn
their backs upon the hor- and
strike out for the city. Such are
leaving behind them an opportu-
nifty which is now being grasped
by many a bright young man
who has been reared in the ur-
ban districts.

Wisconsin Farmer.
The department of agriculture
