DISCUSS LAW FOR
SKATING Kinks

The Supervisors joint committee on
police and judiciary held conference
yesterday with Police Commissioner
Leahy and Hagerty and Chief of Police
Dinan to discuss the advisability OF
passing Supervisor waIsh's ordinance
prohibiting the attendance of minors
at skating rinks unless accompanied
by their parents or guardians. Walsh
said the ordinance was necessary in
view of the fact that young girls were
led into temptation through the medi-
um of the Kinks.
Dinan said he had never received any
erty suggested that children should
not be admitted to the rinks on Sunday
mornings.
Frank Rittigstein, G. NJ Roy and D.
NJ Moses, managers of local rfnks, stat
ed that children under 16 years of age
were not, permitted on the floors of the
rinks in Nthe evenings and agreed to
adopt another rule prohibiting their
attendance on Sunday mornings. The
managers objected to any legislation
on the subject, as they had already
put in force the restrictions proposed
to be effected by the ordinance.
The Supervisors present expressed
the opinion that there was no necessity
for the ordinance in view of the repre-
sentations made, but the matter was
taken under advisement pending an
other meeting of the rink managers to
agree formally on the points at issue.

Captain F. A. Erratt, who accom-
panied the expedition which left here
about three months ago on the steamer
Arago to search for the treasure sup
posed to be buried with the bones of
the steamer Golden Gate on the coast
of Mexico, returned yesterday on the
liner Peru without any. treasure, bat,
as is usual in this exciting occupation.
confident that success will come next
time.
The Arago expedition was headed
by W. C. Johnson of Boston, who four
times previously had tried and failed
to redeem the fortune that tradition
declares is still aboard the Golden
Gate. Always some mishap has blocked
the fortune hunter just as success
seemed certain. This time the ele-
ments interfered. The Golden Gate,
which left here forty-four years ago
for Panama with more than s3.000,000
in gold, took fire when off the Mexican
coast and was beached about seven
teen miles north of Manzanillo, where
she burned to the waters edge.
A brother of the Johnson of the
Arago expedition recovered 100000
from the wreck several years after,
but was compelled to turn over the
money to Wells Fargo, who. paid him

there is still on board the wreck ST.

barroom. The wreck, which is filled
with sand. lies submerged beneath a
heavy surf.
The men of the Arago expedition
built a pier out to the wreclN rugged
powerful pumps and on January
were all ready to pump out sand and
gold when a storm swept the beach
and carried away their pier and most
of the wrecking gear. Johnson has
not abandoned hope and will be here
in few weeks to arrange for another
expedition. So sure was he of success
this time that he sold the Arago to a
Mexican firm shortly after his arrival
at the scene of the wreck. Philip

TO EXAMINE
GRAND JURORS

The hearing on the motion to set
aside the indictments accusing Chief
of Police Dinan and Abe Ruef Jointly
of conspiracy and Dinan separately of
perjury was continued by Judge Dunno
yesterday until Monday morning.
Attorney Samuel Shortridge, repre-
senting Ruef: Louis Byington. repre-
senting Dinan, and Hiram Johnson for
the prosecution were present when the
case was called and consented to the
fling of a stipulation to the effect that
the testimony concerning the bias of
grand Jurors, as taken in the Schmitz
and Ruef trial, shall be applicable in
the present case. The right was re-
served by the defense. however, to ex-
anime the grand jurors regarding
points which were not brought out in
the other case, and members of the
Grand Jury have been subpcnaed to ap-
pear in Judge Dunne's court Monday
morning for that purpose.
Judge Dunno has also set Monday
morning as the time for giving his de-
cision on the demurrers in the Schmitz

STEALS SILKS To
START A STORE

Mars Vogel, tailor. who has rooms
at the corner of Post and Webster
streets, dreamed for many weeks of
having an establishment of his own,
and in attempting to realize his am
bition he is charged by the police with
the commission of burglary on the
premises of his former. employers
Golden & Kramer, 1875 Sutter street.
The ambitious tailor, who was arrested
last night by Detectives Ed and Tom
Gibson, is accused of having pried open
the front window of the store where
he formerly worked. Then, say the
detectives, he stole $500 worth of the
choicest silks in stock. The goods
were recovered in his room. In addi-
tion to the goods the detectives Sc
cured large number of samples which
had been prepared for mailing to pros
pectfve customers.
The same store was entered two
months ago. On that occasion 5000 in
cash was taken. At that time sus-
picion was directed toward the ar
rested man, but there was nothing to
indicate that he was actually the thief
When the second burglary occurred the
detectives decided from the peculiar
manner of the theft that some one
who had been connected with the es-
tablishment was the burglar. Vogel
was shadowed and when it developed
that he was ready to start in business
for himself he was placed under arrest.

the volume of trade experienced a
marked increase during the week Fig

For the corresponding week of a year

RECORDER LOCATES
OFFICIAL BONDS

Unnecessary CONSERVATION was
caused yesterday in official and other
circles by the publication of the state
ment that several recent )appointees to
municipal offices had neglected to file
their official bonds within the, time
specified by law and that, in conse-
quence, a question of legality might be
raised as to the important acts Of the
Board of Supervisors, Board of Public
Works, Police Commissioners and Fire
Commissioners.
The effect of such a contingency
might be judged when it is considered
that in the list of supposed delinquent
appointees were the names of Super
visors O'Neifl and Tveitmoe, Police
Commissioner Leahy and President
Duffey of the Board of Public Works
These men have participated In official
actions of such number and Importance
as to have burdened the courts for
years with question of their legality,
had 1T been true that the officials had
not qualified according to law.
Upon investigation yesterday it was
found that all of the appointees had
filed their bonds within the specified
time. but the documents had not been
made public in the press OF. affairs at
the Recorders Office.
