One OF the unfortunate incidents in con-
nection with the collection of clothing and
other property for the relief OF the people
of San Francisco developed In the Police
Court before Judge Kimbali today Walter
Dowdy and Calvin Dunbar were charged
with the larceny OF a quantity OF clothing
intended for the San Francisco sufferers.
This is the most contemplate theft that
has come to my notice in long Time
Judge Kimball remarked, after the evidence
had been presented. 81 will fine these men
500. with six months Imprisonment in de-
fault
In pronouncing the sentence Judge KIM
ball stated that 1t would be a warning to
others who might impose on the generosity
OF the people of the city in the manner IN
dictated. Assistant United states Attorney
Ralph Given stated that 1t was anticipated
that some people would know that they
could easily secure money and clothing
from the people of the city on the ground
that they were collecting for the San Fran
cisco. relief funds. and incorporation
would result For this reason, he advo-
Gated severe sentence in the case.
The clothes in question were the con-
trtbution OF one of the prominent schools
of the District, the students having given
generously to the cause. The George w.
Knox Express Company was asked to call
FOR the articles, and Dowdy and Dunbar
with a Knox wagon responded.
The two young men were trying to sell a
quantity of clothing Tuesday on Az street
southwest, and Detective Renhard of the
fourth precinct took them into custody An
investigation led to the discovery that the
clothes had been intended for the San
Franciscans. Much of the lost clothing was
recovered from the prisoners. and 1t was
ordered turned over to the proper authori-
ties

tangle of outlying electric lines. The
North Chicago was stocked heavily
and bonded literally. During the
growth of each company Yerkes had
sold part Of his stock for many times
the amount of his first investment.
Then the Union Traction company
was organized with $40, 000. 900 Of COM
mon stock and $12, 900, 900 Of preferred
stock, and it leased the North Chi
cago and West Chicago companies.
Its stock was offered to the public and

pocketed $40, 000, 900 of nice hard cash
for the equities in the North and West
side companies from which he already
had made $780, 900.
This worked so we'll he could quick
ly carry out his further plan. BY
paying a dividend on the first dividend
day, he so encouraged the new stock
holders that when he got together his
miscellaneous electric companies he
sold the lot, under the name of the
Consolidated Traction company, to the
same Union Traction company, and
took bonds in payment. Bonds looked
good to the public and to Blair & Co.,
of New York, and Yerkes put away
for a cold day s5,O00,0 900 more in cash
and securities.
/. He also sold his interests in the
