WFLCHfR IS FOUND
GUILTY BY JURORS
Racetrack Man Who Left Bag of
Washers in Place of Coin
Is Convicted

OAKLAND, May 25.-Edward Wilker-
son, racetrack follower, was found
guilty by jury In Judge Ogden's court
tonight Of the theft of 5000 from DR..
Charles F. Harris. The latter testi-
fed that he bet 5000 in a book which
was opened in Emeryville some months
ago by Wilkerson, who was accused
of substituting bag of iron washers
for money received in bets. E. ].
Grover was arrested as an accomplice.
but was released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, there being insufficient evi-
dence to hold him. Wilkerson's trial
was held in the Justices court and his
conviction resulted tonight after long
trial.
1t was alleged that Wilkerson re-
ceived $1,000 in bets in his booking
stand. He was captured while trying
to make his escape with a satchel con-
tanning the money, and had left be-
hind him, according to the evidence.
a bag containing iron washers. 1t was
the evident intention to 'welch" with
the money received and to leave the
washers with which to deceive the bet
tors. To make his escape quickly an
automobile was in waiting outside the
gate of the Emeryville track, and Will
kerson was making his way toward the
machine when arrested.

AGED WOMAN LEFT
DYING NEAR TRACK

Form and Police Seek to
Fix Responsibility

From some time Saturday night un-
til 10 o'clock Sunday morning the un-
conscious form of Mrs Ellen Hogan
lay in the dust of the Mission county
road near Hillcrest within six feet of
the streetcar track and in plain view
of those who passed. Her white hair
was dabbled with blood from a wound
still freshly flowing in the back of her
head. yet until that hour. when In
spector Mcdonald of the United Rail-
roads learned of the case and reported
1T to the police, none moved her or
took notice.
few, hours after being taken to ST.
Luke's hospital in a patrol wagon the
woman died without becoming con-
scious, but it was not until late yes
terday afternoon that the body was
identified by her son. Michael with
whom she had lived at Vista Grande.
So mysterious are the circumstances
attending her death that Chief Biggy
has ordered a rigid investigation. De-
tectives Moltke and Gallagher OF the
Mission station are endeavoring to learn
how 1t was possible for Mrs. Hogan to
have lain unnoticed In the road for so
long.
Her son declared that Mrs. Hogan
was slightly demented. Indications
point to the fact that she was wander
ing on the road at night when car
struck her and knocked her down. as
she was suffering from scalp wounds. a
fractured skull and five broken ribs.

the principal guest and speaker at a

The subject of the discussion was
.Immigration." Wheeler spoke of the
variety of classes coming into this
country from foreign ports. He said
it was a mistake to believe that we
only received the poor, the lame and
the halt, the ignorant and INDECENT.
The greatest agency, he remarked, for
encouraging foreigners to emigrate to
America was the letters written by the
foreigners themselves who have set
tied in this country to relatives and
friends in the old countries.
Colonel John P. Irish made special
plea for the repeating of the Asiatic
exclusion laws. He characterized the
Chinese exclusion law "as brutal and

Resolutions for Children's
Aid Performance

The Native Sons and Daughters of
the Golden West have taken q keen in
terest In the performance to be given
by the local Elks at Dreamland rink
today for the benefit OF the Children's s
agency, and the joint committee OF the
parlors have passed resolutions calling
upon the members of their organization
to attend il.
The Children's agency grew out of
the conditions disclosed by the indorse-
ment committee, when that body was
investigating every charity that sought
support at the hands Of the community.
The joint committee of the parlors,
consisting Of f. H. Wheelan. Mrs. G.
w. Dietz and Charles A. Boldemann.
discovered that many fraudulent
schemes were operated in the name of
the children and that great harm was
being done to little ones placed in un-
fit homes.
Since its inception the Children's
agency has become the authorized
agent for 16 institutions and careful
personal investigation is made before
a child is confded TO the care of an

RAC[TRACk LOSSES
WRECK VETERINARY
Landlord Gives Gambling as
Reason for Sudden Flight
of DIR. R. Watkins

OAKLAND, May 25.-Dr r. Wat
kins, veterinary surgeon who until
recently conducted q livery stable at
Fifty-seventh street and San Pablo ave-
nue., has not been seen there for more
than a fortnight and his friends are in
clined TO believe that financial Difficult
ties have induced him to leave the city.
Before his departure DIR. Watkins is
said to have disposed of several bug
gies which he had for sale in his es-
tablishment, and this is regarded as
proof that his leave taking was not
unpremeditated. He was in arrears for
$50 rent 70 A. Bishop of $3.50 Marshall
street, and several other bills have
been presented at his establishment for
collection since he went away.
Bishop said that the veterinarian had
been a satisfactory tenant and had al
ways paid his rent promptly, but he
is of the opinion that recently Watkins
had been playing the races and that
his losses had been heavy He did not
personally notify his landlord of his
intended departure, but left behind him
message for Bishop to the effect that
he was going TO Seattle and would pay
his rent as soon as possible. 1t was
said that Watkins had recently bor-
rowed large sums from acquaintances
in the neighborhood of his stable, and
probably instrumental in leading UP to
his disappearance.
Watkins had been in the livery busi-
ness as tenant OF Bishop for nearly
is months, and he was regarded as an
expert horse dentist. His income was
q comfortable one and he had no fnan-
cial troubles until the racing season
began. Then he began playing heavily.
