was following him.
Policeman Lofgren was with Slat
terry just before he made the arrests
and said yesterday that Slattery was
perfectly sober and that he had not
tasted liquor for three months on ac-
count of stomach trouble
Alfano and Davino were charged
with disturbing the peace.
Slattery said that. he left the car
three blocks before reaching the police
station because the prisoners said that
they wanted to speak with him pri-
vately. He was curious TO learn what
they had TO say and consented to get
off the car He found that the men
wanted to bribe him. offering him sew
eral dollars If he would let them go.
Slattery refused the bribe and had
walked two blocks up the hill in Con
necticut street when he heard some one
behind him. AS he turned to see who IL
was he received a blow across the side
of the head.

Agents of the HAMBURG rg-American
steamship company called on Collector
of the Port F. S1Stratton yesterday and
represented that unless special permis-
sion is granted the world touring
steamer Cleveland will be sent to Vic
toria, B. c., to discharge, diverting
nearly L400 tourists and the purchase
of supplies, amounting in all to a
matter OF $1,000 000 at least, from
this port. On this representation STRAIT

mediate reply.
The Cleveland is under a foreign reg
lister and under a strict Interpretation
of the shipping laws can not carry pas
sengers between ports of the United
States even by way of foreign ports.
The view taken by the ships agents
is that the Cleveland is not merchant

pleasure yacht. Nearly all her passen-
gers are Americans. The aggregate
penalty would be s132s00O were the law

SEATS IN DEMAND
FOR SOCIETY PLAY
Tickets for Professor Napo-
leon," to Be Given as Aid for
Charity, Sell Rapidly

The Valencia theater was alive with
merriment and laughter yesterday aft
ernoon and evening when the 500 mem
bers of the cast of Professor Napo-
leon" met for rehearsal There were
many ludicrous little mistakes and
mishaps, which but added to the fun
and made the meeting one of the most
enjoyable since rehearsals began. After
the stage exits and entrances were
fully learned, however, and the other
points in which the actual stage differs
from ballroom floor everything went
smoothly and formed one of the most
charming musical shows ever given in
this city. The costuming is beautiful.
the scenic settings. brought from New
York, are excellent and the play itself
is pleasing series of comical incidents
and situations, which, quite apart from
the attractive choruses and dances,
would make it worth the seeing.
The seats have been in great demand,
especially for the opening night selling
for the most part for the initial per-
formance at IS a seat, in order to aid
the Telegraph hill charity fund. Yes
terday, however, the remaining seats
were placed on sale at Sherman, Clay &
Co.'S and the success of the production
was shown In the long line of waiting
persons anxious to secure good places.
The highest price for the Saturday
matinee will be s1.50 a seat, and many
of these have already been spoken for,
although some good ones are still left.
For the convenience of our of town
residents who wish to see the drama
special trains will be run to all of the
nearby suburbs.
Nearly SO makeup artists have al
ready been engaged to give the neces-
sary stage compilations to the 900 in
the cast, in spite of considerable oppo-
sition on the part of many of the fair
actresses. However, the edict has been
issued that powder and rouge will be a
necessary part of the big charity affair,
and so in the dress rehearsal tonight
at z o'clock the costuming will include
the face coloring necessary. Tomorrow
the first act in full dress will be re-
hearsed, and Monday night will be an
other general rehearsal In a final prep
aration for the six public appearances.
