AIleqed Foraer Caught

PASADENA, June 14.-Chief n. H
Favour has received word from Marys-
vile of the arrest of a DR. Henry
Schwartz in Chico on a warrant sent
out by the Marysville police charging
him with forgery. The Oakland police
want the same man under the name of
DIR. James Curtiss for two forged
checks he is accused of passing in that
city, and Chief Favour believes DR..
Schwartz, alias Curtiss, to be identical
with the DIR. c. E. Emerson who is
accused of passing worthless checks in
this city ten days ago. Two checks
were passed here, both signed in the
name of a Miss Martin of Altadena
and made out in Emerson's favor. Miss
Martin is travelling in Mexico. The To-
cal business men who cashed the
checks will not prosecute unless the
northern officials fail to secure con-
victions on the three cases there.

Saws Mccoy Is Her counsIn

PASADENA, June 14.-Mrs. A. r.
Williams of 210 Carlton avenue, this
city, believes she may be able to shed
some light on the identity of the George
Mccoy, recluse of Mariposa county, or
whose ranch was found, after his death,
skeletons and a secret tunnel leading to
a hidden we'll She believes, from the
stories she has heard and the descrip-
tions she has read of the man who is
suspected Of having committed many
murders, that he was her cousin who
ran away from Arkansas when he was
a young man and whom she has never
heard of since. She says the George
Mccoy she knew was always a strange
fellow even in the days she knew him,
before he was Is years old, and apt to
do strange things. If she can prove her
relationship to the mysterious man OF
Mariposa county she will probably have
a claim on part of the property which
he left.

apparatus as the money In the apprc-
priation will buy.

Government

CITY OF MEXICO, June 14.-Noth
ing is known here as to the report from
Los Angeles, Cal, that the Mexican
government has revoked the conces-

Lower California.
Harry Brotasky, who holds the con-
eession, signed by the Mexican author
tiles, declared today he had not beer
informed of anything tending to init
mate that the Mexican government had
revoked the concession.
An investigation at the interior de-
partment of papers shows the only
mention of the revocation of conces-
sions at Tia Juana was in April, wher
two concessions were withdrawn. These
were a shooting gallery and a gambling
club, which were closed because OF
complaints of swindling, made by tour
lists.

CRAFT OVERHAULS
WHISTLING BU0YS
LIGHTHOUSE TENDER DOES
DELAYED WORK
Government Fails to Install Promised
Torches to Mark Entrance to
Harbor-Lights Needed
Greatly

SAN PEDRO, June 1.-THE United
States lighthouse tender Madrona, in
command of Capt. Anderson, sailed for
San Diego this afternoon, after having
overhauled the Point Firmin buoy and
the whistling buoy in this harbor. This
work of cleaning and repairing the
buoys along the coast is supposed to
be done once in six months, but it has
been nearly year since the Madrona
called at this port.
Although San Pedro has been as
sured of torch to mark the entrance
buoys to the harbor the gas light has
not yet been installed.
Senator Flint assured the local
chamber of commerce more than six
months ago that the matter would be
taken up, but evidently some delay has
occurred somewhere. The need of a
light to guide the vessels that enter or
depart from the harbor through the
channel beyond Deadman's island has
long been felt and it was hoped to have
had it installed before now.

today by the professional element to
extend the advance, but the amount of
stock for sale at the higher price levels
proved an obstacle. The needs of the
shorts seemed not to be so urgent and
the market lapsed into extreme dull
ness and then ran off rapidly Foreign
influences. which were potent yester-
day on the side of the advance. were
no longer operative in that direction.

YALE CREW.
Ellis Having Much Trouble Whipping
Eight Into Shape for Pennsy Race.

New Haven, March 23.-Coach Ken
needy Of the Yale crews is finding 1t
difficult to get the varsity eight into
anything like a settled condition for
the Pennsylvania race. 1t is certain
that, when the crew leaves here March
81, Its rowing order will be far from
picked. and rot till two or three days
before the race on the Schuylkiil win
1t be decided. Aside from the fact that
six Of the eight oarsmen must be pick
ed from green material, there have been
setbacks due to illness. Rice, bow oar,
is still out of the shell because of ton
silitis. and Baker No. 5, has Just re-
turned to the shell after a hohpital
siege. Coxswain Cass is still i'll.
Indications now are that Capt. Henry
Howe VIII be kept at stroke in the
eight. The experiment of a. 1856 pound
stroke Is doubtful but five other can
didates for the place have been tried
cut during the fall and early spring
practice without satisfactory results
Brainard has been moved from No. Z
to No. g. and Mills, who was captain
of the freshmen two years ago, has
been given the seat. Hyde and Patter-
son OF the freshman eight last year are
at No. 8, with chances for HYDE being
selected to row against PENNSYLVANIA.
Holloway, who was tried at No. 5 dur
ing Bakers Illness, showed promise
and will fight out the seat with his ri
val. Frost did well at No. 4. but Wal
lis who was stroke Of the varsity four
last year, has been tried in that posi-
ton the past week. Glenny has been
retained at No. 2 ever since spring
work began. Since Rice's illness took
him from the she'll Hunsiker has been
alternated with Davis. Fearing has
been steering the shell since Cass went
to the infirmary.
