LICENSES

PITTsBURG. Pa. Dec. 2s.-When
the Pittsburg council graft cases come
to trial there will be subpoena issued
for President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburg baseball club, who may have
something interesting to tell.
It is recalled by the Voters league
officials. who are pressing the charges
against the seven councilmen under
arrest, that last spring there was a
bitter movement against the Pittsburg
ball club as soon as Allegheny had be-
come a part of Pittsburg, bringing the
ball park with it.
Several of the seven councilmen now
under arrest framed a bill raising the
license for games from $50 per year
to S75 each. This is still held up in
the council. Some of them now allege
the grating counci.snen wanted to
make it $500. 1t is believed an effort
was made to blackmail Dreyfuss.

BOOK MAKER TRIES
TO FLEE WITH
BANK ROLL
William Weidner Arrested at
EmeryViHe Track While Try
ing to Make Getaway

Intense excitement reigned in the
betting ring at the Emeryville race
track after the last race yesterday. in
consequence Of the attempt of Viii
liam Weidner, hacker and cashier of
the Sheepshead Bay club. to make a
getaway with the money which had
been bet in his book on the winning
horses in the closing race. Weidner
was arrested by the Pinkertons after
a chase as he was trying to leave the
racetrack inclosure by rear gate and
was lodged in the Alameda county Jail
TO answer to a charge of grand lar
cency,f which viii be pressed against
him by the racetrack manag cement
Weidner comes from Detroit and has
been booking at Emeryville only a
few days. He engaged Johnnie Glenn,
well known booking expert, to run
the Sheepshead Bav club book for him
when he cut in. The book won about
$500 Saturday, but played a losing
game yesterday.
When II came down to the last race,
Book Maker Glenn took IN about $500
and the sheets called for the payment
of $1,000 to holders of winning tickets.
Just before paying off time, Glenn no
ticed Weldner slip out of the betting
booth and make his way toward the
exit adjacent TO the jockey club offices.
Suspecting his intention. Glenn ran
after him, and ii was his alarm that
brought sthe Pinkertons into the chase
low meant to welsh. With a crowd
IN pursuit Weidner ran toward the Shell
Mound gate, and it was just before he
reached it that his apprehension took
place. The PinkertOns took him to
the temporary police station at the
racetrack and a search of his person
revealed only 1853. He refused to
make any statement concerning the
disposition of the balance of the s1,7O0
which Book Maker Glenn says he had
IN his possession. The theory of the
officers was that he had slipped the
balance Of the bankroll of a confederate.
Ring Master Bob McGibben was noti-
fed Of the incident after he had boarded
the racetrack special TO return to San
Francisco. He returned to the track
and made arrangements by which the
jockey club will make good all win
ming wagers due from the book today.
The jockey club exercises all the
care possible before allowing unknown
bookies to cut in, but in spite of the
precautions that are taken, these un-
pleasant incidents occasionally crop up.
There was a similar episode last sea
son. when a get-rich-quic operator
a ha~ of iron washers as a substitute
in his betting booth. He was con-
yicted and is serving time for his Of
fense.
Weidner is said to have operated on
the Texas circuit before coming here.
Re is a young man and not well known
among the book making fraternity.
One of the employees of another book
informed the Pinkertons that he had
observed an unknown man passing q
roll of bills to Weidner at paying off
time in the fifth race. The Pinkertons
have a description of this man and are
looking for him.

Navy Tries to Make Amends for
FOrgetfuIness of. Army
Post

The navy, although in no way re-
sponsible for the army's delay of "a
hours in acknowledging the salute of
the Peruvian cruiser Almirante Grau,
is doing all in its power to make the
visitor from the south forget the omis-
sion. The cruiser Maryland came down
from Mare island yesterday and went
TO sea Under ordinary circumstances
the cruiser would have passed out
through the heads without paying any
attention to even an admiral on board
a ship lying in the upper bay Peru,
however, was kind to the navy when
the fleet passed that way, so the Mary
land postponed its departure long
enough to take a cruise up the harbor
to where the Almirante Grau lies at
anchor
When opposite the Peruvian cruiser
the Maryland fired salute in honor of
the visitor. It was fired shipshape and
Bristol fashion and the Peruvian re-
piled with promptness that will prob
ably be equaled by the army next time
