GENERAL IMS SCHEME TO ASSIST EZETA.Tug Barclay Golden Char-
tered for SanSalvador.
ALMOST READY TO START
Every Preparation Made in theMost Mysterious
Manner.
FOUR GENERALS TO GO ALONG.
The Vessel Was Formerly the KatieO'Neill, But Has Been Fitted
Up Furposely.
When the little tuc Barclay Goldenmakes an effort to clear for Acajutla shewill probably run afoul of the Federalauthorities. At the Custom-house it Will
.oil what her mission is and what she:to take along.
The Barclay Golden has been charteredby the Central Anferican Development
any, of which Manuel Casin isGeneral Casin is the right
man of ex-President Antoniof San Salvador, and Generalia now at Acapulco. Mexico,
lg for General Casin and threeothers of his revolutionary lieutenants tonine along in the tug Barclay Golden andhe!]' him to make a larding on the Salva-
coast. 'The ultimate destinationof the Barclay Golden is the port of LaLibertad. if she can ever get that far.Ithas not been the easiest thing in the
for General Casin to carry hisscheme into execution. Some timeafter Ezeta left this City for the land
SalYadoranos on board aCentra; American bound steamer, and
up in full martial uniform,
Casin returned. E/eta never >_ot anylarther than Mexico, though "Monkey"'Bustamente did. and the man of a hun-dred fires, "Cienfuegos," as his admirerscalled him, was promptly taken from the
of Sydney by the Salvador-ind was put into a miserable little
jail as a preliminary to having him shot.Ezeta and Casin have been doing consid-erable planning and plotting since then,and the upshot of it .°H is the formation
American Development. . the chartering of tne tug
Barclay Golden.No money of the recreant brother of
has been put into this venture,
the wrecker of Sslvadoranrinances, is living inParis, France, in verycomfortable style and is not worryingHimself much about Central American af-fairs. Carlos and Antonio are not aniigosbuenos, and do not cable to each otherthe friendly salutation spelled "Como e:-talisted." but pronounced with a lisp.
Everything might have run alongsmoothly enough, though, as it was with-out Carlos Ezeta's help, because < u':i:i has?ome c >ney • :" his own and was liberalenoffi*K tS-'fleirajT'dll "^Ahtonio's^eXpenses"when the latter was in this City issuingproclamations to his sympathizers downthe coast. A hotel bill and steamboat farecame out of Casin's pocket, and even theprice of a general's fulluniform was cov-ered by him.
But "the trouble with, the littleexpeditionnow 11 contemplation is that the officersand crew of the ttuc became fearful of eviland there hare been four captains in asmany -Hay?.
The Barclay Golden is now lying at theend of the %'oal bankers of John Rosenfeld<fc Sons, at Mission wharf No. 3. She wasformerly the tug Katie O'Neill. CaptainO'Ne:l!,"whochristeued"her after the nameof his daughter, did not rind her aprofitable craft. .Finalily she drifted intotie hands of the Pacific MarineSupply Company. She was up atEureka for some "lime,but a little whileago Captain Donaldson brought her downfrom Coos Bay with \u25a0 carge of coal. Shei? now taking on coal, and from all ap-rearances will not load much of anythingpise, but. her passengers are to be fourCentral Americans/ who occasionally comeover from Oakland and take a look at her.Besides these, passengers she is to taketheir baggage. What the trunks and pack-ing bor:- are to contain i? as yet a matterof conjecture. ' General .Casin. has beenmaking Oakland his headquarters. \u25a0-\u25a0
The trouble with the officers and crewhas been that the four Central Americanshave acted bo mysteriously and alwayscommunicated in" Spanish. Fears of afilibustering expedition of some kind werethe logical effect, in the heads of the navi-gators, of the mystifying demeanor ofthe nun who had chartered trie tug.That General Casin, as president of theCentral American Development Company,had chartered the tur was stated last nightby Alfred Greenebanrn, the manager ofthe Pacific Marine Supply Company.
Captain Donaldson was the first to yieldto his impressions. Last Saturday niehthe gave up the command of the vessel andwas succeeded by Captain Green. SoonGreen backed out and Captain Motley wasmpaged. His term of service was verybrief, and up to date her commander isCaptain John Peterson. Captain Peter-son handled the wheel once before whenthe boat was the Katie O'Neill.
The intention had been ail along to startyesterday, but. what with the trouble ofEecuring a captain who would be willing torun some risk on a moderate master'ssalary and the time required for some-needed alterations and repairs to the boat,her departure lias been thus far delayedand it is not yet definitely settled whenshe willsail.
The tug has been pretty well fixed up.She has a new wheelhouse, at least it looksnew with its coat of white paint, and newboilers are being put into her. She hasalso a new shoe. Those who are able togive information say that she is goingdown to San Salvador to embark in thebusiness of towing lighters for the CentralAmerican Development Company, but thisavowed object in view didnot assure Cap-tain Donaldson, and when he turned overthey keys to Captain Green his reason fordoing go was that "the arrangements didnot suit him."
About the best speed the little tag hasbeen known to make is thirteen Knots anhour. She ran stand a good sea and ailk:nri3 of weather. For quite a while theKatie O'Neill lay at Main-street wharfwaiting for a job. It came and with itacomplete overhauling
—a new name, and
masters that describe the weather in adifferent tongue and with more music andless emphasis than she has been accus-tomed to.
The programme is for the four CentralAmerican generals to board her when theyget ready, sail for San Salvador if the cus-toms officers can be satisfied to clear her,stop at Acapulco on the way,and aftert..at— well, they know that best, but "tow-ing lighters" is their story. She willsailunder the American flag.
There are water-front stories to the effectthat the first thing she will do upon ar-rival at Acapulco is to take AntonioKzeta aboard, and the next thinp to beaccomplished is to effect a landing on theSalvadoran coast, where Ezeta's sympa-thizers are prepared 10 welcome him andrally to his side of the Presidential con-
troversy. C?siii has ambitions of his ownand needs Kzeta in his business.
MRS. BELL'S BILLS.They Are Being Exploited in Judge
Coffey's Court.The claims of D. Samuels against the
estate of Thomas Bell were before JudgeCoffey yesterday. The claims aggregateover .$16,000, and reach over a space ofnearly ten years. The claims were allacknowledged by Mrs. Teresa Bell, thewidow, but though she contracted themshe refuses to pay them.
The claims from every source which arebefore the court amount up to over $200,---000. and the contention of the claimantsis that some of the valuable real propertybelonging to the estate should be sold toassist inthe payment. Mrs. Bell does notwant to sell any of the real estate, for, sheBays, there are funds sufficient to pay allclaims if the creditors will be reasonable.Experience has led them to believe, how-ever, that Mrs. Bell does not want to pay,and so the suit is being pressed.
As a sample of the claims against her.and the extravagant manner in which thewidow spends money, the bill of P. F.Butler, the milliner,"may be' cited. Thebill includes the months from February toOctober, 1892, and itshows that she pur-chased ninety -seven hats in that time.There are lace hats, black hats, gray,greenand brown hats, sailor hats, bonnets, der-bys. felt hats, theater hats, street and call-ing hats, nats with plumes, with aigrettes,with flowers and with ribbons, hats forherself, for children, for friends, hats re-trimmed, reshaped, remodeled hats bigand little,cheap and expensive, plain andwith all manner of ornaments upon them,and the total is $1201. She has not paidthe bill yet, and Mr. Butler is one of theclaimants. Itwillbe a week before all theanxious creditors are satisfied.
SHEEHAN WILL RESIGNPepositors of the People 's Home
Bank Were Told so LastNight.
Movement to Have the Expenses inLiquidationReduced
— A LivelyMeeting.
About 100 of the depositors in the Peo-ple's Home Savings Bank in liquidationmet in Foresters' building iast evening tohear the report cf the executive committeeand ascertain the condition of the bank'saffairs at the time. T. H. McCarthy, chair-man of the committee, presided ;the othermembers present were E. F. Kendall,Thomas Mahoney, A. L. Cassavan, N.Morcaum and T. S. Williams.
Secretary Kendall read a lengthy reportof what the committee has done in con-nection with the management ofthe bank,the litigation that is pending and whatwas done in the matter of selling the I'a-citic Bank property, all of which has beengiven from time to time through the col-umns of The Call.
Communications addressed to the BankCommissioners asking for a reduction ofexpenses in the management in liquida-tion were also read. One was from theCalifornia Safe Deposit and Trust Com-pany and the other from John W. Cole-man, J. C. Johnson and T. S. Williams.These sbo.w that at pr§2e.njj thL- oilice«xent.is $?'" monthly. $250 salary per month toManasrer Sheehan and $125 a month to abookkeeper, "an expenditure at this junc-ture too lavish to wind up the affairs of adefunct bank and too much to draw fromthe money that belongs to tue poor.".
Thomas Mahoney, one of the commit-tee, presented a minority report in whichhe objected to the postponement of themeeting of depositors called two monthsago anil wanted it understood that it wasnot. with his consent or authority. Heinsinuated that the gold of the trust com-pany bad had something to do with thepostponing of the meeting by two of thecommittee. He found fault with allthat had been done" up to dateby the trust company. and the othermembers •of .the committee andsaid that Mr. Williams' .:assertionsthat the depositors' interests are wellguarded were not well ". founded. Hecharged. Mr. Williams with having told adepositor whose book calls for $600 not tomake his book over to the trust company.He also charged that Chairman McCarthybad announced he would resign, but thathe afterward declared that he would notresign until -after the affairs Jia'd beenwound, up. He wanted to know -whatcaused the change.
"Why," said Chairman McCarthy, witha smile, "he's giving all the secretsaway." v^.*f\u25a0 . :
\u25a0 Mr. Williams, who is the depositors'representative on :the board of directors,explained that the meeting had been post-poned upon the advice of the depositors'attorney, who suggested that, in view ofpending negotiations a meeting wouldbe unwise and would do muchmore harm than good. He pro-nounced as senseless the inference thatthe trust company's gold had anythingto do with the matter. He then enteredinto a long account of what had been doneby the committee and tnen read figuresentered in the books of the company sinceSheehan had been in charge, showing thatin a period of seven months the sum of542,905 of the people's money had beenexpended. Of this Sheehan received$4000 and Attorney Watt $4700 asealary. The trust company has suc-ceeded in reducing the waste ,of moneyand cutting expenses down to $445 amonth.
He also read items from the book toshow how Sheehan wasted money. Oneitem in the aggregate was $97 for adver-tising the sale of vaults. The most ofthis was given to weekly papers that werepaid more than the dailies, and which thespeaker said "were papers in which per-sons wishing to buy bank vaults wouldnever seek the advertisement ofsuch."
He charged that Sheehan paid outmoney uselessly under the guise of exam-ination of mortgages and lands to menwere politicians. He also referred to|500 paid to T. Carl Spelling and said:"This matter remains unanswered. Shee-han has not answered. He threatened toprosecute me criminally for what Isaid inthis matter, but he has not done so."
In regard to the Pacific Bank propertyhe said that some of the bids made sometime ago were rejected although the sumof $1^3,000 had been offered for it.
William Marlowe, a depositor, wanted toknow why $50,000 belonging to the de-positors, now with the trust company, wasnot distributed.
A.I). Pike declared that Mr. Maloney,who presented the minority report, meantwell, but sometimes talks through his hat.
Mr. Williams denied the charge ofhav-ing advised % $<JOO depositor, but admittedhaving told a $10 depositor that hisamount was so small that itwas not worththe bother of transfer. He said that ifany depositor was dissatisfied with hiscourse and would make a motion for himto resign he would do so.
Mr.Pike announced that after a carefulexamination he had arrived at the conclu-sion that in time the depositors would re-ceive in all about 66 cents o:i the dollar.The litigation over the Pacific Bank wouldprevent the giving of a dividend at Christ-mas. He did not think it would be wise atthis time to ask for a distribution of the|60,000 alluded to by Mr. Marlowe.
A motion to increase the committee tofifteen was lost, as was one to instruct thecommittee to wait on capitalists and. askthem to bid on the Pacific Bank property.
Mr. Pike said that Sheehan had told
him if the depositors did not get a dividendsoon he would resign.
<;. Conani, a real-estate man and de-positor, gave itas his opinion that the Pa-cilic Bank property was wortu more thanhas been offered for it.
J. A. Foster offered a resolution to theeffect that the depositors urge the Bank( lommissioners to demand of the directorsof the bank that the expenses of manage-ment be reduced to $Ji.Xj a month. Thiswas unanimously adopted.
A vote of confidence in the committeewas adopted.
A depositor made the statement thatGeneral Sheehan had told him he wouldresign very soon.
SOLICITORS GET TANGLED.The Harbor Commissioners .Have a
Chinese Puzzle on Their Hands.
The runners for the Pacific TransferCompany and Morton's Special Deliveryhad another battle royal yesterday, but onthis occasion it was Morton who was onthe defensive and the transfer men werethe aggressors. The whole matter is verycomplicated, and there will be a livelywrangle over it at the meeting of theHarbor Commissioners this afternoon.Tirey L.Ford, the board's attorney, is togive an opinion, and the chances are thatall runners and solicitors willbe barredfrom the wharves, while a ship is dockingand the passengers landing.
The present status of affairs is about asfollows: The Pacific Coast SteamshipCompany lents Broadway wharves 1 andlifrom the State, and for a considerationthey grant the Pacific Transfer Companythe exclusive right of working their steam-ers, and also those of the Oregon Railwayand Navigation Company. The San Fran-cisco and North Pacific Kailroad Companyrents part of the water front and one of theferry slips from the State, and for a con-sideration it also gave Morton's SpecialDelivery the privilege of working thesteamers.
When Morton's men invaded the Broad-way wharves Superintendent Bennett ofthe steamship company ordered them off.They refused to go and were put off. ThenMorton got out an injunction, and whenthe case came to trial the court held thatthe exclusive use of the front could not begranted to any one rirm or individual.Ever since Morton's runners have beenswarming on the steamship company'swharves, and in order to secure tne tradethe Transfer men have to board the steam-ers i:ithe bay.
The new phase in the case came up yes-terday. Morton's men were working thesteamer Tiburon, and one o* the PacificTransfer Company's men jumped thefence and began soliciting. The attentionof Agent A.F. Magrain was drawn to thematter and he ordered the runner off. Herefused to go and a lively scramble ensued.The Morton men went to the agent's as-sistance, and Gas White, the Transfer man,was thrown out. Then other runnerscame np and demanded admittance, buttiie sight of Sergeant Tom Mahoney soonquelled the disturbance.
Immediately after the trouble was over,Genera) Manager Whiting of the railroadcompany wrote a communication to theHarbor Commissioners demanding that abig board fence be put up and that noone be permitted on their wharves with-out permission. The Commissioners arenow in a quandary, as according to theruling of the court they cannot bar any onefrom the wharves, nor can they grant theexclusive use of any portion of the front.The matter willprobably be carried to theSupreme Court.
SAY IT IS BROKERAE.The Court's Opinion of the
Montgomery Marriage Pre-liminaries.
Mrs. Morrison Is Not Allowed to Re-cover in Her Suit for Com-
pensation.
Judge Daingerfield has decided the suitof Mrs. Morrison apainst Mrs. Rodgers bydeclaring the contract entered into by theparties, and which is the basis of the suit,an illegal agreement. The suit was for$_'SO,OOO for services rendered by Mrs.Morrison in bringing about a marriagebetween Mrs. Kodgers, then Miss Green, ;and the late Alexander Montgomery.
At the time of the contract the thenIfib Green had Montgomery's promise!that he would marry her, but as he seemedunwilling to fullillthe promise given shesecured the offices of her sister in the mat-ter, and her sister brought about the join-ing of the two. Mrs. Morrison claimedthut her sister li3d promised her amplecompensation for her services, and al-though she came into over $1,000,000 bythe marriage, she has never recognizedthe obligation sho was under. The con-tention was that the contract was illegal,as being a marriage broterage contract,and this view of counsel was adopted bythe court. The contract is therefore setaside by the sustaining of the defendant'sdemurrer, and in rendering his decisionJudge Daingertield says, among otherthings:
Jf >fontgomery hart known of plaintiff'seontract before his marriage he probably wouldhave never married the defendant. At anyrate the contract is of a class whose object isgenerally best achieved when the contract, issecret. It is no answer to say that he wasmorally bound to marry the defendant. Thecontract is substantially like a marriage brok-erage contract When Montgomery declined tokeep his promise tomarry, ths defendant couldnot compel a specific performance of the con-tract. The law does not compel marriages of jthis kind, but gives damages for breach ofpromise.Ifhe chose to pay the damages rather than
consummate the marriage, his legal obligationswould be fulfilled upon such payment. What !his moral obligations were we do not knowand nre not concerned with. The parties wereas far apart legally when plaintiff's aid wasinvoked Uthey would have been ifno promiseor cohabitation hed ever existed. At thisstage plaintin" succeeded in procuring a newcontract. The transaction was essentially oneof marriage brokerage. Courts look askahceatagencies that are most effective when the factof agency is most secret. Hired agents mustnot interfere with the sacred affairs of theheart, unless they can rely upon the goodtaithand business honor of tlifirprincipalswithout hope of aid from the courts.
FRANK GOBEY DEAD.Pneumonia Outs Short the Well-Kuown
Saloon-Keepnr'g Life.Frank Gobey, the well-known saloon-
keeper, died yesterday at his home, 236Sutter street, from pneumonia. He wasillonly three days. Gobey was born inCanada nearly fiftv-severi years ago and hecame to this coast in 1850. Like the pio-neers of those times, he went to the inte-rior and followed mining for twelve orfifteen years with varied success.
With sufficient capital he came to thiscity and started in the saloon business,which he and his brother, Jesse Gobey,have followed ever since, acquiring a con-siderable fortune. In 1877 liobey estab-lished the saloon at 228 Sutter street, andhis patrons have made his name knownall over the coast. Gobey leaves a daugh-ter, who is now in Rhode Island visitinghis mother and sisters. He went East re-cently to see the family and returned onlythree days ago. Itis believed that he con-tracted the disease while crossing themountains.

DAGGETT 'S POLITICAL AXAlex. Greggains, the Buckleyite,
Is Discharged From theMint.
HE DIDN'T OBEY ORDERS.
A Story of Daggett's Municipal "Push"Politics in the Thirtieth
District.
Superintendent of the Mint Da?getthas "fired" Alex.Greggains from his $4 aday job in the Mint for displaying "per-nicious activity"in the interest of ChrisBuckley.
Gfeggains; didn't heed Daggett's ordersto his employes to get out and hustle forthe Daggett- Rainey-McNab reformers andon Saturday last the Siskiyou boss taughthim and others a lesson. When -Mr. Dag-gett gives political orders to his Govern-ment employes from the Thirtieth or anyother district when primary politics aregoing on, he proposes to be obeyed, andother Mint employes, who might dearlylike to chase around again with "Buck's"Jambs, as the grass seems to turn greenagain, willnow know the perilof it.
The discharge of a man from the UnitedStates Mint because he didn't do as hewas told with the "push" in a south-of-Market-street district wiil give Congress-man Maguire some more ammunition, andas the victim is a very valuable and verypopular district politician and a loyalfriend of Buckley, the incident will in-tensify the bitter and rapidly growinghostility to Daggett among 'the Buckley-ites and other elements of the party. 7
;;;JiAlex.Greggains is a big, good-natured
and quite good-looking fellow, who haslong been leader ,of the Fire Department"push," as it is termed, in a large south-of-Market region, especially ' in.'the!Thirtieth District. He used to.be in theFire Department and is now 'a strongleader among the boys." .He can organizea small regiment ami do valiant practicalpolitics most any time for the chief towhom he gives hi* fealty for thick or thin."When he was doing politics most regu-larly Buckley and Kainey were partners,and perhaps they equally shared his re-spect and allegiance. When Daggett tookthe Mint and gave his friend Rainey ashow at the patronage Greggains was oneof the men that Kainey put in. He be-came a workman in the coiner's depart-ment at $-1 a day a year and a half ago.
'
Perhaps Sam Kainey thought that aman that He had found a job for ought tostand by him when he was engaged inlighting Buckley for decent terms in an-other partnership; but, anyway, whenGreggains got to. his nice littleflat onShipley street, last Saturday. a little afternoon, the mail-carrier had left for him thefollowing:
The Mint of the United States )atBah Francisco, Superintendent's >
Office, November 30, 1895.)Alex. Greggains, Esq., Workman in Coiner's
Department, United States Mint, San Francisco—Dear Sir: You are respectfully informedthat your services will not be required on andafter "this date, viz.: November 30, 1895. Ke-spectfully yours,
John Daggett, Superintendent.
Greggains hasn't been around to/ theMint or to the St. George stables makingany inquiries. He has been to the Occi-dental Club mostly, and Buckley and therest up there stand by such loyal friends.Daggett must report thje,. discharge to theDirector of the Mint for his formal ap-proval, which would ordinarily be given,but in this case there may be a littla "in-terference." \u25a0
'"AllIKnow about it is that after Iquit
work at noon and got home last SaturdayIgot this notice," said Greggains lastnight at the Occidental Club. "Well, Iain't caring particularly. I'm staying bymy friends, and that's what Ialways do.
"Of course, it's because I'm up here andnothing else. Daegett never told me toget into his fight alter that time when hestood everybody up and told them to workfor Watkins against O'Brien, when thatelection came off a few weeks ago. Dag-gett didn't callme in until the afternoonbefore Watkins was elected that night.I'dbeen out hustling for Jim O'Brien clearup to that time. Iwas off that day : to goto a funeral, and Daggett sent the watch-man out to hunt me up and bring me tohis office. He said that he wanted Wat-kins elected and that .he was lightingBuckley. Itold him Buckley and Kaineywere my friends. He said Kaineyis lighting Buckley. I;said thatKainey wasn't; he said that he was. IfKainey was fighting BuckleyIdidn't knowit then. He said that if "Rainey didn'tfight Buckley he'd fight him. "Well, hesaid he wanted me to get out and do whatIcould. Itold him 1wasn't a member ofthe committee and couldn't get him anyvotes, but he said he knew what.Icouldgo on the outside. Isays, 'Well, it's toolate now for'fne to get out and get anybodyto .switch that I've asked to vote forO'Brien,' but he asked me tosee what Icould do. No, he didn't make any threats,but he said things that you would knowmeant something.
"Well, Igot out and perhaps Idid whatIcould and perhaps Icouldn't do much.Iwas around there at the meeting thatnight, but 1 saw they had itand Ikeptstill. Well, after that Daggett told methat he wasn't having anything todo withlocal politics—onlyNational politics. Well,Isupposed he meant it,and Isupposedafter Watkins was elected Icould do as Iwanted. 1 had to get out and protectmyself, and I'm a friend of Buckley's lustas Iam of Rainey's. I'm, a friend ofRainey's.and always have been. Idon'tknow how he stands on this; Ihaven'tbeen to see him yet.
"Isuppose that at that meeting a weekago Saturday night, when Watkins triedto adjourn the committee, they counted onme standing in with them. Iwas therewith some of my friends to, help see thatour friends didn't get the worst of it, andyou knowFitzgerald and Ihad some wordsup by the platform. Iguess they saw howIstood, and -then, when Iwas upon theplatform; Iwas introduced to JudgeMagnire, who
'shook hands with
me, and Isuppose somebody toldDaggett about that. One day" Daggettmet me in the corridor of, the Mint andasked me if Iwas in Maguire's district.He swore and said that he'd run Maguireout of town. I've always been friendlyto Maguire. Since Maguire and the pa-pers have been going for Daggett againlately Isuppose he got madder yet andsays to himself,
'That's one of those "f—1

A CARPENTERS' VICTORYContractor Hunsbrougli Agrees to Pay
Staudurd "Wages on the Haight-Street School.
The organized carpenters and joiners ofthis City have won a victory. Contractor(j.W. Hansbrough, who has the contractto erect the eight-classroom schoolhouseon Haight street, near Masonic avenue,has come to terms, and the carpenters whowere called off the job Saturday night re-turned to work yesterday morning. Thestrike that threatened to be lasting andannoying was quickly settled by the con-tractor acceeding to the men's demand forhigher wages.
When the carpenters went to work aweek ago they were a little uneasy, be-cause they feared that Hansbrough wouldnot pay tne standard wages of $3 a dayminimum-. On Saturday night their fearswere realized by the contractor paying but$2 50. The situation was reported toBusiness Agent Johnson, who cailed themen out and told them not to return towork until the trouble was settled.
An account of the difficulty was pub-lished in Sunday's Call and 10.000 carpen-ters and innumerable other union work-men watched for the outcome with a keeninterest. The union had only a few weeksbefore adopted a rule that $3 should be thewages for a day's work of eight hours, andthis, being City work, was about the firstlarge job to cause trouble en the score ofwages. There was great surprise thatHansbrough, who before he became a con-tractor was a union carpenter, should byhis action become a "cheap" man.
Early yesterday morning BusinessAgent Johnson, representing the DistrictCouncil of Carpenters and Joiners, was onthe ground, accompanied by the men hehad called out, the men going back fortheir tools.
Hansbrough was there ahead of them.The conversation between the contractorand the business aeent was brief and tothe point, the former readily agreeing topay the standard wages demanded. Fiveminutes later the whole force was at workagain, making the chips fly and the ham-mers ring. Allthe carpenters are delightedthat the threatened trouble should havebeen averted so easily and speedily.
HOUSE-RENTING RATES.Real Estate Agents Meet to
Agree Upon a UniformCommission.
The Profits of the "To Let" BusinessDepend Upon the Landlord's
Liberality.
An informal meeting of prominent realestate men took place last night in theoflice of Baldwin &Hammond at 10 Mont-gomery street for the purpose of agreeingupon a uniform commission for house-renting. Heretofore agents have workedto a disadvantage in that they have beensubject to the peculiar location of theproperty to be leased and to the liberalityor anxiety of the landlord.In the matter of a proposed sale the
owner, when he places the property in thehands of the real estate man, is dulybound to abide by his agreement, and notransaction can take place outside of theactual sale, but in renting a landlord may
rent his house and the agent may find his"To Let" bill on the building torn downby the new tenant or the landlord withoutany officialor business notification.
The rates of commission have swung allaround 10 per cent
—sometimes higher,"butmore often lower—and the real estateagents have come to the conclusion thatthis matter wiil bear regulation. Themeeting was attended by representatives ofthe linns of Bovee, Toy A Co., O'Farrell &Co., Shainwald & Buckbee, O. F.'vonllhein, A. J. Rich &Co. and Baldwin &Hammond. i
G. D. Toy was chosen chairman fand S.Buckbee secretary. Anumber of sugges-tions were made as to a uniform rate, butnjthing definite was agreed upon. Itwasthe sense of the meeting that the agent isgetting somewhat the worst of the house-renting business, and if the matter wasnot regulated to a uniform rate the house-owner willbe permitted to dispose of hisown building and dicker with his tenantsinaccordance with their desire to get un-der a roof, and also inaccordance withtheir means and tastes.
A member of Umbsen & Co. expressedhis doubts as to anything like successcomine from the conference of real estatemen. Therateqf commission, he thought,would be practically governed by peculiarconditions, the prominent and general onebeing the landlord's anxiety to find arenter and the activity he displayed inget-ting that tenant himself and getting outof the 10 per cent commission.
The meeting adjourned without any-thing being definitely settled except thathouse-renting to the agent was not amethod of acquiring wealth.
Another meeting will be held at Bald-win A Hammond's office on theevening ofDecember 21.

ONE OF THE CLEVERESTCaptain Lees Expresses His
Opinion of BayardSaville.
HE IS CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Passed Checks Purporting to Be Signedby Mrs. Bell, Widow of the
Late Capitalist.
Bayard Saville was brought from' Oak-land last evening by Sergeant Duncan andbooked at the City Prison on the chargeof forgery.
On November 4 Saville went to 11. P.Wakelee's drug-store, on Polk and Sutterstreets, and asked H. L. Pockman, themanager, to cash a check for $75. Thecheck was drawn on the Bank of Califor-nia, and pumorted to be signed by TeresaBell, widow of the late Thomas Bell, thecapitalist.
Pockman knew Saville as an employe ofMrs. Bell, and as he did not have themoney himself he crossed over to the officeof the Sutter-street Railroad Company andgot the check cashed by Secretary Stevens.Stevens had occasion to go downtown, andhe presented the check at the bank forpayment. To his surprise he was told itwas worthless.
Saville had meantime returned to Wake-lee's drugstore and asked Pockman tooblige him by cashing another check for$600. While they were talking Stevensentered the store and informed Saville thatthe bank refused to cash the check. Sa-ville expressed his regret and said -Mrs.Beli must have made a mistake by gettinghoid of the wrong checkbook. He wouldgo at once and see about itand would leavehis valise just to show that he would re-turn. He did not return, and when thevalise was opened itwas found to containtwoor three shirts and some pairs of socks.
A few days later Saville presented acheck for $b'sO on the Bank of Californiasigned by Mrs. Bell to William McCrackenof the Lick House Laundry. McCrackenadvanced him $30 and $20 at differenttimes on the check and then he found itwas worthless. He reported the matter tothe police and Detective Ross Whittakerwas detailed on the case. Whittaker as-certained that Saville had gone across thebay, and he sent his description to the po-lice in Oakland and Alameda.
Detective Denny Holland arrested himon Broadway, Oakland, yesterday morn-ing. Holland had learned that a mananswering Saville's description had beengetting money from the Young Men'sChristian Association, Roman Catholicpriests and prominent citizens on the pleathat he was a penitent ex-convict, so hedetermined to look out for him. "When hemet him on Broadway he placed himunder arrest. Saville made a grab for arevolver that was in his hip pocket, butHolland was too quick for him.
"Let me have it," pleaded Saville. "Idon't want to injure you, but Iwant toend my miserable existence."
Holland kept hold of the weapon, how-ever, and took his prisoner to the CityPrison. He then telephoned to policeheadquarters here and Sergeant Duncanwas sent to bringhim over.
Wakelee, the druggist, ha3no intentionof prosecuting him, but McCracken sworeto a complaint charging him with forgery.
Saville came here seven or eight yearsago witha wife, who was a victim of con-sumption, and shortly after taking uptheir residence here she died. He did notcome under the notice of the police tillthefallof 1891. On August '61 he presentedforged letters of introduction to the lateSenator James G. Fair, and on the strengthofthem he «ot $300. He was arrested forobtaining money by false pretenses, andoh October 12 he was sentenced to threeyears in San Quentin.
He was discharged on January 13, 1894,and soon afterward secured employmenton Mrs. Bell's ranch, in Napa County,where he remained tillabout two monthsago. Itwas through his employment ontfiis ranch that Pockman and McCrackengot acquainted withhim.
He is a well-educated, fine-looking man,of good address, and is said to belong to awealthy family in Maryland. CaptainLees says he is one of the cleverest confi-dence-men that has ever visited the coast,and could get money out ot the most stony-hearted of men by his nerve and plausibleways.
biiville,when seen in the City Prison, re-fused to say anything. He had not yetconsulted an attorney, nor had he seen anyof his friends.
