MAY ENTANGLE MEN
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Utah Authorities After Lead
ers of Fraudulent Bounty
Claim Gang.

Sheriff Emery of Salt Lake County,
Utah. is coming to San Francisco to as
sist the local police IN recovering the
treasury funds of that State that were
obtained by a gang of men by means of
fraudulents bounty claims. He also ex-
poets to furnish the local detectives with
evidence that may lead to the extradition
of several leaders of the gang who are
supposed to have furnished the money
for the successful carrying out of the
scheme and directed operations from this
city. AS was announced in yesterdays
Call, the local police, assisted by Under
Sheriff Sharp, who has returned to Salt
Lake City. succeeded in locating in this
city $4,000 of the money secured from
the county treasures OF Utah, and the
issuance Of garnishments against the
banks in which the money was deposited
followed.
1t was learned yesterday that prior to
Under Sheriff Sharps arrival here Sheriff
Emery had been in San Francisco for two
weeks and gave the police valuable in
formation that led them to the place
where the wives of Mitchell and Meyers,
two of the men now under arrest In Den
yer, were staying. The women were
placed under surveillance and it was their
movements that finally enabled the police
to discover the place of deposit of the
StOlen money.
Ten days ago Sheriff Emery returned
to Salt Lake, leaving his deputy and an
attorney here to continue an investiga-
ton of the connection of certain promi-
nent men with the bounty claim frauds.
A private message received yesterday
stated that Sheriff Sharp has secured
from one of the men now in jail in Utah
statement that may soon result in in
dictments of others, whose names have
not yet been publicly connected with the
fraud, and possibly their arrest here may
be asked for by the authorities Of Utah
, 1t had been arranged that suits for the
recovery Of the money should be filed
yesterday, but kilograms from the Utah
authorities caused Attorney Charles
Pence to defer these proceedings for rea-
sons that he refuses to make public. The
and Meyers women are still be-
ing kept under the watchful eye of the
police. but 1t was stated yesterday that
there is no evidence that they were IN
any way implicated in the matter beyond
the bare suspicion that they assisted their
husbands in getting part of the stolen
money out of Utah.

SHERIFF FINDS
AWF Ill POVERTY

Two pitiful stories Of women with
families of little children to take care
of, who were left destitute by cowardly
husbands. came to light in the Sheriff's
Office yesterday when notices of evic-
tion for rent were placed in execu-
ton. The first was writ obtained
Chenery street.
found evidences of the most terrible
poverty. The woman, Mrs. Dean, had
parted with her husband about nine
months ago. thinking that he was going
to work and that he would return in
the evening. She has not heard from
him since that day, nor has she had any
money for the support Of her five little
children except what she could earn
from time to time. She has a son, Will
liam Dean, aged %, who is a painter for
the United Railroads. but he does not
contribute one cent to the support of
his helpless mother. Through the mercy
Of Under Sheriff Haynes the execution
of the writ was delayed until to-day.
Meantime the city charities have been
notified of the condition of the woman.
Mrs. Stevenson. member of the Ep-
worth League, has paid for a few
months rent in a new dwelling at 3710
Army street for this family.
No less pitifu1 is the condition of
the family of Mrs. Street at 2036 Fol-
som street. When the deputy sher-
liz called yesterday to execute a
writ of eviction he found a wo-
man with six small children, one of
them baby in arms. suffering from the
want of the barest necessities of life.
Her husband had also deserted her sud-
denly. The execution was delayed and
the Associated Charities notified of the
woman's condition.

Los ANGELES BONDS
NOT VERY TEMPTING

Los ANGELES, June 19.-Dillon &
Hubbard. the New York bond experts.
have declined TO certify to the recent
issue of Los Angeles school bonds
amounting to s730.000, and without that
certiication no attempt will be made
to sell the issue The firm raises the
point that Los Angeles is now taxed for
certain schools outside the municipal
ity; that the election was held under
the provisions of the State law, when
1t should have been under the city
charter 1t is pointed out that IL the
courts should decide the State law de-
fective. that would becloud the entire
bond issue.
The city will now have to secure a
decision of the Supreme Court upon
certain statutes which have never been
tested. and pending such decision the
elaborate plans for school Improvement
in Los Angeles will have TO be post
poned.
