Michael F. Dwyre, the old time
horse owner and one of the greatest
and most reckless. race track plung-
ers of the last quarter of the century
whose death was announced yester-
day, was one of the most picturesque
and Interesting characters the turf
has ever known. He was SO years
old and lead a most checkered life.
He had been an invalid since the dis
astrous racing campaign which he
waged in England in 1895 Up to
that time he had been a man of steel

laid vast sums against the bookmaker
without a tremor, although he was

He failed gradually and finally
gave up entirely to the disease that
was sapping away his strength. To-

stable. which brought him millions
gradually faded away until he had
only a handful of horses left of the
brilliant string that had once made
him famousein the racing world.
The disease had been gaining on
him from year to year and in 1900
1t left him in a hopeless condition.
Dwyre began his racing career as
a member of the firm of Dwyre Bro
thers, of which his brother Phillip j
Dwyre was the only one other mem
ber. They began business in Call
fornia in 1860, but owing to the un'
certainty of western business they re
turned to New York where they open

those days for the butchers to drive
fast horses on the road and to holt
trotting matinees. They became in

cob Waldorf can be induced to accept

who eloped three months ago with Miss
Ada Moore. an Oakland candy girl, was
practically a victim OF the girls hyp
motto art and really Is not to blame for
his escapade. she may forgive his past
and take him again to the Waldorf home
to rule as head OF the Waldorf house
hold.
Jacob Waldorfs friends have adj
vanced the theory to the Wronged wife
that Miss Moore mesmerized the hus-
band. and while under this extraordin-
ary influence he did that which brought
him into his present difficulty. Wal
dorf is supposed to have originated this
extraordinary theory to account for his
misconduct. and Mrs. Jacob Waldorf
now has before her the task OF deciding
whether the theory is tenable.
Waldorf. the dashing salesman for the
Ramona candy factory in West Berke-
ley, for whom the police have been
searching during the last three months,
is in Los Angeles. He has been in COM
munication with Mrs. Waldorf for sew
eral weeks He desires a reconciliation
with the wronged wife. admitting that
his elopement with pretty Ada Moore
of Oakland has not been brilliant sue
cess as rose-havored romance. If Mrs.
Waldorf can be convinced that the huS-
band really was not to blame, or alto
gether to blame. and that the hypnotic
power Of Miss Moore lured him away
from his household hearth. there is
likelihood that Waldorf may grace the
seat at the head Of the Waldorf dinner
table. Mrs. Waldorf is almost per-
suaded
Waldorf's elopement with Ada Moore
stirred the town last winter. His wife
was left helpless. unprovided for. with
two little babes. Waldorf had cruelty
told her he did not care for her. Mrs.
Waldorf even charged her husband with
year ago, so that he could sue for di-
vorce here. charging her with desertion.
She sought to punish him. after his
elopement, swearing cut a warrant for
his arrest on the ground Of failure TO
provide for his children. This warrant
is still out.
Waldorf's affair with Miss Moore was
revealed to the wife when she found
1ove-letters from the Moore girl to
Waldorf in the clothing of the man. She
taxed him with his infidelity and he
did not deny the charge. Two days later
he was off, and Miss Moore also left her
home on Market street. In Oakland
They apparently have been in Los An
geles ever since. Waldorf seems to have
tired of his companion.
Mrs. Waldorf has been an inmate OF
c. E. Thomas home at 2140 University
avenue since Waldorf deserted her.
Charitably minded folk raised money
for her. and she has been able lately TO
earn her own living. She refused to
tell to-day whether MIR. WaldOrf's theory
that he was hypnotized by Ada Moore
will be accepted by her, although she ad-
mitted that the runaway husband
yearned to be taken back.

Police about raids means, and it is a good
order. All we ask is that Langdon act
| square with US, and we'll act square with
| him.
| Next Monday at special meeting OF
| the Police Commissioners, at which the
District Attorney will be present, all the
rumors and charges of illicit gambling
will be thoroughly discussed.
sTHE WAR WILL GO on"
Last night District Attorney Langdon
issued the following written statement:
1.-The District Attorneys office has no
war with the Police Commissioners or
with the police or with any public officials.
Its only war is with the violators of the
statutes and ordinances of the State and
the city That war has been commenced.
That war will go on. 1t will go on to the
end of my administration. at least.
Let me insist again that this office will
not voluntarily quarrel with anybody ex-
cept the violators of the law. There is
enough common ground for public officials
to stand together on. That common
ground is the joint responsibility for the
enforcement of the law. A war among
public officials is a disastrous thing. 1t
encourages crime If the friends of the
law cannot agree to prosecute their work
the enemies of the law will certainly find
opportunity to prosecute theirs during the
disagreement.
are both charged with the suppression of
gambling. l have felt confident that gam
bling existed and have acted accordingly.
1.-THE District Attorney does not want
to usurp the functions of the police, nor
has he usurped their duties.
..Section 335 of the Penal Code jointly
charges every District Attorney, Sheriff,
Constable or police officer with the re-
sponsibility of diligently prosecuting per-
sons who offend against the provisions Of
the chapter on gaining. A failure to as
sumo such obligation is specially desig-
mated as a misdemeanor.
TO STOP GAMBLING A DUTY.
..To stop gambling is my function and
my duty / took an oath to do 1t when
rook office, and have an idea can
keep my oath of office. There ought not
to be any misunderstanding ON that score.
this office I made very simple pledge
ito enforce the law Five times each
night. five nights each week for five weeks
of that campaign, l repeated my pledge.
The people elected me. / took my oath
and l am going to do my duty.
."That duty, as / now see il, is the
fulfllment of that same simple pledge
IT was good enough for the people then:
I am sure 1t is good enough for the peo-
ple now. They backed me them they
will now. repeat 1t: The: laws are on
the statute-books; all may know them
I pledge myself to the enforcement of
those laws. Good or bad. the people
have made them. 1t is the single OBJ
legation of the District Attorney to en-
force them.

evil had to be attacked in the policy of

operated with this Office splendidly. We
should not split when the application of
the gambling laws comes to Chinatown.
This Office was informed that gam
bling was going on in Chinatown TO
satisfy ourselves beyond a reasonable
doubt that the condition should be in
vestigated. the members of this office,
along with the Grand Jury. visited
Chinatown. We then communicated our
belief to the police. assuming their
usual cooperation,
NO CAUSE FOR QUARREL.
Merely because an irresponsible
lawyer, misrepresenting himself as a
representative of this office. as the police
allege. should have duped the police for
whatever ends of his own he might have
had is no reason for misunderstanding
and quarrel between the Police Depart
ment and this Office now.
The District attorney has a lot of
work to do-and it is nard work-and he
needs cooperation in it.. This applies
to the business of gambling which is
in hand now as 1t applies to other mat
ters which will have their turn The
first cooperation needed is police assist
ance. When he needs police he needs
them at once while the criminal is at
work, not after he has got away Time
is the very essence of efficiency
Now there are certain places where
police are to be had. namely, at the va

lice or the captain may be home in bed.
off duty, when the District Attorney
calls for aid. When the District Attor-
ney made his suggestion he assumed of
course that the police stations should
be just as cooperative against crime
when the police captains and Chief. are
ct home and in bed as when they are
on duty.
The District Attorney will therefore
insist upon the police aiding and assist
ing him In the prevention of any breach
of the peace or the commission of anv
criminal offense whenever he requires
of them such aid and assistance"
