OAKLAND, May 10.-Carl Whber
Nretman. self-styled Swedish prince"
erstwhile elegante Of the Fairmont hotel.
hero Of numerous exciting tenderloin
adventures and the despair of host of
anxious creditors. announces from his
cell in the city prison that a girl is at
the root Of his troubles and that he is
going to explode q bombshell in the
ranks Of San Francisco's most ex-
elusive society when he is brought to
trial in the local police court on the
charge Of passing a worthless check
Tor sig on DR.. Percy GaskilI of this
city.
PLOT OF JEALOUS RIVALS
The bombshell, declares the impris-
Oned prince" viii be charged with q
sensational expose of a plot. hatched
and executed by jealous San Francisco
society folk TO discredit him in the eyes
Of a beautiful heiress OF that city.
Hitherto. SAYS the prince" this fair
heiress has shown a decided fondness
for his company, and he is convinced
that his disgruntled rivals, infuriated
by their inability to win her smiles
away from him, have deliberately con-
spired 10 land him in Jail. incidentally
the prince" declares that il is due
TO the activity of his enemies that he
has been unable TO obtain the bail
necessary to effect his release.
NIervyn J. Samuels. son of Police
Judge George Samuels. is acting as
local attorney for Nretman, and he de-
cIares that his leVelorn client viii lay
bare the whole vile plot to queer" him

"A love affair with a beautiful young
woman high in the social circles of
san Francisco IS at the bottom Of the
whole affair" said Samuels today. Il
am not at liberty to give the name OF
the Young woman. but she is widely
known all over the coast.
The girls father was one Of the
prime movers in the plot TO imprison
Nretmsn. The prince is undoubtedly
deep in love with a young San Fran
cisco woman, and had not this trouble
occurred he would probably have begun
divorce proceedings against his New
York wife in the near future in order
that he might be free TO ask the hand
Of the girl Of his choice"
The prince" himself maintains q be-
coming reserve, but his manner is
fraught with the suggestion Of con-
cealed knowledge He condescended to
say this evening that the report that
he was very friendly with a prominent
san Fra ncisco society girl was true.
s"OEr acqus intance vas. very -inti

the. Lambs have decided to have a new
and more cOmmOdiOug clubhouse.
At a general meeting of the club,
attended by more than 200 members,
the following resolution was passed:
Inc council Of the Lambs Club IS
hereby authorized and vested with full
power TO act In its discretion to Sc
cure land Tor, and 10 build new club
mousse and sell or lease the present
premises Of the club. Time OF pur-
chase, price, terms, and all finan-
cial matters are To be left in the dis
erection OF the council. which is hereby
given all the authority which the club
in ensemble possesses"
Augustus Thomas president of the
club, IS head OF the council which i'm
medlately appointed committee % nine
TO look about for a suitable site.
The members OF this committee. be-
sides Mr.. Thomas are Joseph r Girls
mer, GreenVille Smelling, Paul Turne,
Sam II. Hamburger, Henry S. Giles
pie, Clay M. Green. Henry c. Dazian,
waiter w Price, and John A. Stole.
The only condition the council will
be subject TO is that il is not 20 select
q site below FOrty-fOurth street. This
would hardly be likely IN view OF the
trend Of things northWard.
The Lambs moved 10 their present
clubhouse about five years ago after
they had outgrown their old building. on
Thirty-stxth street. now Eeen's Chop
House. It was expected that their pres
ent building would suffice for many
years, but the great recent success of
the club has made larger quarters nee

NEW YORK. Aug. Bi-Following the
official announcement made last night
by District Attorney William Travers
Jerome that he win again be a candi-
date for the office he now holds, plans
are being made today to obtain the 2O00
signatures necessary to his petition to
be listed as an independent candidate.
The petitions win be started in about
two weeks, with John A. Hanneberry
as JerOmes campaign manager.
Though he will be an independent
candidate, Jerome viii not spurn nomi-
nation by any other party.
There is much speculation as to the
attitude OF the old line parties about
Jerome's candidacy. II is the consensus
OF the New York wspapers that none
of the parties wishes TO offend the thou
sands Of Independent voters who have
elected Jerome twice, and there is said
10 be a possibility that Jerome viii be
Endorsed by both Tammany and the Re-
pubicans.
