SPRING VALLEY BUILDING
HAS NOT CHANGED HANDS
Complications Prevent COnsummntio
of Deal That Would Have Turned
Property Over to Syndicate.

The Spring Valley Water Companys
building at Stockton and Geary streets
will not change hands. for the present
at least The directors of the COM
pany met yesterday afternoon and at
the written request of a syndicate de-
string to acquire the property the de-
posit check for the option on it was
returned. The company did not seem
inclined to consider the bid seriously
and 1t is doubtful, in view of the small
price offered for the building and land.
II the deal would have been sanctioned
by the water company stockholders.
Douglas Watson, president Of the
Citizens National Bank is one of the
persons interested in the proposed pur-
chase of the building, but Watson is
said to have declared that engineers
had reported that it would cost too
much to reconstruct the wrecked steel
frame and masonry, therefore the men
he represented were not inclined to
buy.

CAPTAIN GLEESON
FIGHTS 4 MOB.
Struggles Long and Hard
With Infuriated Crowd
of Chinese Gamblers
SEVENTEEN JAILED

Fighting single-handed for more
than an hour yesterday afternoon. Cap
tain Harry Gleeson of the Park Police
station, kept at bay thirteen angry
Chinese gamblers, and finally carted
them to the lookup. During the melee
he was repeatedly compelled to fell his
antagonists. He locked himself and
his prisoners in the gambling room
and was there more than an hour be-
fore he was able to secure aid from the
Park Police station. A note dropped
by him from the front window Of the
place was picked up by a small boy
who took it to a grocery across the
street where aid was summoned.
The fight and arrest of the gamblers
was not due to any preconcerted plan
of Gleeson. He was covering his dis
trict yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock and on Pierce street, near Golden
Gate avenue, he observed several Chi
nese carpenters remodeling a building
known as Powers Hall. Space for two
stores was being partitioned off and on
a mezzanine floor wielder of the ham
mer and saw was industriously fash
ioning number of small rooms con-
tanning hunks.
Actuated by spirit of curiosity,
Gleeson walked toward the building,
and as he did SO he saw a Chinaman
standing in the doorway acting sus-
piciously. Immediately divining that
something was wrong ne started to en-
ter the door, but was prevented by
Chinaman, who threw himself against
the officer. A hand-to- hand struggle
ensued and Gleeson threw aside his
adversary. who yelled warning to the
men upstairs. The din OF the carpen-
ters' hammering drowned his cries, and
as Gleeson strobe through the door the
Chinaman again seized him. A blow
from the police officer felled him.
After passing through three doors,
Gleeson entered large room in which
about thirty Cinnamon were seated
around four tables, marking lottery
tickets and playing tartan and dom
mos. The officer rusaed and seized
the evidence on thG fantan table,
WHICH the players werf hurriedly try
ing to get away with, and then he ran
to the door and bolted Che lock. About
thirteen of the gamblers had escaped
and those remaining attempted 10
scramble over a low partition at one
end of the room.
Gleeson yelled in Chinese, You are
under arrest" and the prisoners rushed
at him. He dropped sthem like ten
pins. Each blow Of his fist sent a son
of the Flowery Kinsdem to the floor.
LACKING an intrepid leader, the crowd
finally retired to one end of the room,
where many caressed battered heads
The conqueror waited for aid, but
none appeared. Finally he wrote a note,
dropped it from the window and yelled
to a small boy to take 1t to a grocery
across the street. The groceryman
| 'phoned for the patrol wagon and
Policemen Gorham and O'Shea respond
ed. Four more Cinnamon were found
in an adjoining room hiding under
tables, and seventeen in all were cap
tured. They were booked at the O'Far-
rell street police station for conduct
ing and visiting a gambling place.
1t was rumored that Supervisor Lon
ergan owns the building where the ar
rests took place. but no authoritative
confirmation of the report could be had.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Following the
report that the last will of Russell
Sage, said to bequeath all of his estate
of $60,0o0,00 to Mrs. Sage, would be
contested oy the late fnancier's Troy,
n. Y, relatives, Delaney Nicoll. counsel
for Mrs. Sage and the other executives.
hurried to her residence early today
and conferred with ner as to what
should be done. 1t had been expected
that the will would be opened at the
Sage home In the presence of Mrs. sage,
the other executives and their counsel
today. but Nicoll said that this would
not be done until tomorrow.
1t was said that the delay in opening
the will and offering 1t for probate has
been caused directly by the announce
ment of the lawyers for the Sage rela-
tives that they would contest the will
If they were entirely cut of from any
participation in the distribution of the
estate. 1t Is asserted that the charge
will be made that Sage virtually was
insane when he made this disposition
of his estate and that Mrs. Sage exerted
undue and active influence to prevent
him from providing for the twenty-six
persons who are his next of kin. The
accusation will be made. it is said, that
Sage virtually was prisoner for many
years in the hands or Thomas Reilly, a
man whom Mrs. Sage employed osten-
sibly as her husbands valet and body
guard.
A lawyer representing the prospect
i've contestants is quoted as having
claimed that when Sage was not in a
sound mental condition Mrs. Sage per-
suaded him to revoke a previously
drawn will, under which each of his
next of kin would have received about
81, 900, and to make a new disposi-
tion of his estate absolutely in her ia
vor.

BETTER WAGES.
Serve Notice That They
Expect an Increase
Within Sixty Days

Officials of the Southern Pacific Com
Dany received yesterday the notiflca-
tion of the company switchmen that
within sixty days an increase of wages
would be demanded to offset the in
crease of labor required of the men
since the rush which followed the fire.
No action is likely to be taken by
either side until within few days of
the time of expiration of the ultima
tum The railroad company thinks
that the matter will be adjusted to the
satisfaction Of the men, who, on the
other hand, declare that they consider
their demands are just and that they
Will insist that they be recognized. The
men of the Oakland yard are takin G
the initiative.
The revised schedule as presented by
the switchmen advances wages from
four to seven cents an hour all along
the line. The night foremen want 40
cents an hour as against 80 cents now
paid. Helpers want 35 cents; they
have been getting 81 cents Day fore
men demand 3S cents as against 81
cents. present schedule, and helpers
demand 35 cents, an increase of seven
cents.
The Santa Fe Railroad is likely to
have to meet the same conditions and
a conference of the officials of this
corporation and the Southern Pacific
is to take place before the first of the
month. when the situation will be thor
oughly discussed and some conclusion
arrived at.
owing to the fact that the freight
handlers have been granted their de-
mands for more money, the switchmen
seem to think that the railroads Will
listen to their appeals for better pay.
