GEORGE. TV. TVITTMAN, Chief of Police. In anticipation of an easy time at the hands of the new Chief of Police, before the appointment had been made and his policy could be announced, several places had been fitted up for gambling purposes. Games were run for a night or two, but the majority have packed away their lay- outs and prepared to go into some other and more legitimate line of business. "-WO MEN FOUND DEAD IN LODGING-HOUSES Cne Supposed to Be Walter W. More- head and the Other 6. B. Robinson. Walter W. Morehead, about 40 years of age. was found dead in his bed at the Elcho lodging-house, 863^ Market street, yesterday morning by .he bedmaker. Dep- uty Coroner Brown removed the body to the Morgue. The man had been dead two or three days. On a table was found a beer bottle, half-filled, and on the floor a paper, which is supposed to have con- tained some drug. It is believed that Morehead committed suicide, and the beer and stomach will be sent to the city chemist for analysis. Morehead engaged the room last Wednesday from Gus Emme, the clerk, paying 'a week in advance. In his pockei. was found a card showing he was coast solicitor for a baby nammock. On the card was the address S?9 Howard street. Deputy Brown went there and ascer- tained that Morehead had not lived there for four months past, but had since calle : . to sell cheap perfumery to the girl room- ers. Yesterday afternoon a man was found dead in his room at Mrs. Matilda Bhrm's lodging-house, 504 Howard street. He en- gaged a room Friday night and another room Saturday night. It is not known whether it is a case of suicide or not. In the man's pocket was found a newspaper receipt in the name of "G. B. Robinson." He was a.bout 50 years of age, five feet ten inches tall, weighed ISC pounds, had brown hair and eyes and a fair mustache. His general appearance was that of a la- boring man. He wore a navy blue suit and a blue negligee shirt. "When Fritz Sheet the bedmaker of the Mansion House, at 963 Mission street, was making his rounds be) ween 11 and 12 o'clock yesterday he went into a room on the first floor that he had rented about midnight to a well dressed woman. The room was vacant and he proceeded to make the bed. He started to pull off the bedclothes, and found an infant quietly slumbering-. The child lay tucked in a blanket and upon two pillows. Scheef summoned the woman who conducts the house and the police were notified. LEAVES GEMS IN STREETCAR THINKS FIANCE WAS MURDERED A BRIGHT baby boy, whose span of life encompasses no more than three days, u> at the Central Emergency Hospital, while the police are endeavoring to ascer- tain the name of the woman who aban- doned the infant in a Mission street lodg- ing-house some time between midnight of Saturday and noon of Sunday. Burglars in a Grocery. Three men broke into the grocery of H. F. Schlichting, 915 Bryant street, about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. Schlichting, who lives upstairs, was awakened by the crash of glas=s. and suspecting something was wrong blew a police whistle. He saw three men run away from the store, but owing to the darkness was unable to rec- ognize them. When he made an investi- gation he discovered that the glass in both the front and rear doors had been broken and a quantity of liquors and cigars had been packed on top of the counter ready to be carried away. He notified the police yes-erday morning. Mrs. Churchill Is Very Careless With Her Diamonds. Edna Cannon Is Anxious Over Disappearance of Alex X Bell. Mrs. E. W. Churchill of 909 Linden street, Oakland, is congratulating herself on the recovery of $1500 worth of dia- monds, which she lost while visiting the city Saturday evening. The diamonds were in a chamois bag, which, according to Mrs. Churchill, was stolen from her either on' the ferryboat or while she was making some purchases on this side of the bay. «_¦*». , Shortly after she had reported the al- leged robbery to the police yesterday, Captain Seymour was Informed by tele- phone that the diamonds had been found by W. H. Craig, a conductor of a car of the Halght-street line. He had found the precious stones on the seat of the car Just after Mrs. Churchill had alighted. Craig turned the gems over to the su- perintendent of the road, who, upon learn- ing that Mrs. Churchill was the owner, gave them to her. HEBREWS FORM SOCIETY TO RELIEVE DISTRESS The police of this city have been asked to locate Alex K. Bell, who came here from Portland a short time ago. Bell was to have married Miss Edna Cannon of Portland last Wednesday, but on the eve of the wedding he suddenly disap- peared. An investigation revealed that he had informed a friend that he was about to leave for this city to settle up some business matters. It is known that Bell arrived here last Thursday, but since then no trace of him has been found. Before leaving Portland he told a Mr. McCusker, who is a brother-in-law of the bride to be, that he was feeing ill and that he intended to come to this city to seek medical advice. On learning of his disappearance and thinking that he might be seriously ill Mr. McCusker came to this city last Friday and ap- pealed to Captain of Detectives Seymour to find him. Seymour had his men search the vari- ous hospitals for Bell, but they failed to get a trace of him. Miss Cannon, who is a very estimable young woman, fears that her prospective husband is tho vic- tim of foul play. She cannot account for his failure to keep his promise to marry her, except that he was suddenly bereft of his reason on account of sickness. WATCHES FOR THE MAN WHO TAKES HIS PAPEJt "If an individual bearing the name of H. C. Marcus, of smooth appearance, in- gratiating manners and eloquent tongue, tries to win your confidence by tales of unbusiness-like banks in the East that are neglecting to send him drafts for plethoric sums, and follows up his at- tempt with a request for temporary relief, tell him you're busted." This is the advice that Allen S. Gris- wold, late of the Yale preparatory school and now growing up with the West,* of- fers to the generously inclined of San Francisco. Marcus came before the public about six weeks ago, through a supposed overdose of laudanum, for which he was treated at the Emergency Hospital. His story at the time was that, feeling pains in his stomach, he entered the fi*"st lodging- house to which he came, hired a room and telephoned for a doctor. The doctor did not come right away, so Mar- cus administered to himself, he said, a few drops of laudanum. He was discov- ered by Dr. Mish, who telephoned to the hospital for an ambulance. Marcus was revived, and while at the hospital made the acquaintance of Dr. jfc). A. Dlggins. A few days later Marcus called on the doctor, showed him pockets full of oil stock and receipts for all kinds of money and gave him inside information aa to every sort of good thing. Then he told Diggins the story of a draft which a care- less Philadelphia bank had failed to send him. He wanted" a few dollars. The doc- tor said nay. Then he offered to put up somo of his paper money as security. Again nay from the doctor and nay again when he suggested* that the doctor intro- duce him to some friend who might be induced to help Mr. Marcus tide over the financial vacuum caused by the non- arrival of the draft. Keeps TJp Acquaintance. Marcus still dropped in on Dlggins, however, and one day, on parting, asked the doctor to please telegraph to Phila- delphia for him and find out what was delaying the draft. He did not give the name of the bank, however, and when he dropped in a few days later in company with Allen S. Griswold, the doctor had re- ceived no news of the draft. "Did you get any word from my draft. Doc?" was the greeting. Diggins started in to explain the impossi- bilityof having done so, when Marcus in- terrupted him by introducing his friend Griswold. The pair left together. This was about three weaks ago. Griswold returned a few days ago to in- quire as to the whereabouts of Diggins' friend Marcus. Explanations followed and Griswold told the following story: He came out here a few months ago, he said. He had taken a course at the Yale preparatory school and had come West for a whirl before entering college. He whirled too much. The rotary motion emptied his pockets and he found him- self penniless in a strange city. He wrote home for money, but in the interval se- cured in a humble boarding-house a job which insured him board and lodging. It was here he met Marcus. Griswold, attracted by the manner of the former, told his story. It was a strange co- incidence. Marcus was in the same fix. His remittance had gone astray, but his doctor was keeping the wires hot finding out the reason. Griswold's remittance came. Draft Still Missing. "Let's go down to the doctor. I guess he's got my draft by this time," said J Marcus, "and we can go away and look into those little propositions I have been telling you about. There'll be a barrel of money in it for both of us." The result of the visit to the doctor's has already been detailed. Marcus took the non-arrival philosophi- j cally. It was a draft of Croesian dimen- sions and well worth waiting for. Mar- cus was ' awfully short, however, and would Griswold mind— Griswold didn't mind. He provided Marcus with ready money. He bought some of his oil stock. He bore the ex- pense of a trip to Stockton and paid a week's lodging at the hotel for the pair. He paid for a long telegram to the Phila- delphia bank directing an immediate my vestigation of the draft's delay, and he paid for other things. One day Marcus informed him that his draft was on the way, but that in the meanwhile Griswold had better go to Redding and look into a few good things some of Marcus' friends were keeping open for the missing draft. Armed with letters of Introduction to half a dozen of what Marcus said were Redding's most influential citizens, Gris- wold went to Redding. Nobody in Red- ding knew any of the Marcus citizens. Griswold's rusty alarm clock finallyrang. He returned to San Francisco thorough- ly awakened and visited Dr. Diggins. He went to the office of the oil company in which he held Marcus' stock and fpund the stock worthless. His money is almost gone, most of it by the Marcus route. Saturday he took the balance and bought a ticket to Bakersfield, where he has some relatives. He says he is afraid to stay in San Francisco, but if he thought by doing so he could meet Marcus he would take the risk. - Dr. Sol C. Mish said fast evening in an interview that he attended Marcus twice for poisoning. The first time Marcus toox poison was at the Sutherland Hotel. Ha was removed to the Waldeck and prom- ised to pay the bill when he left, which he failed to do. The second time Dr. Mish was called he decided that the besi; place for Marcus to be attended to was the Emergency Hospital, where he event- ually was sent. Dr. Mish also states that a barber by the name of Scott called upon him and complained that Marcus had sold him worthies oil stock and had se- cured $50 of his good money. Rabbi M. S. Levy Addresses Members and Urges Co-operation in Good Work. The San Francisco Hebrew Relief So- ciety met last night in B'nai B'rith Hall for the purpose of perfecting its organi- zation and to create interest in its work. The address of the evening was delivered by Rabbi M. S. Levy, who briefly detailed the aims and purposes of a society formed to relieve distress in the southern section of the city. Dr. Levy urged his hearers to help the movement, as there were many who were deserving of help from their more fortunate brothers. Dr. Levy compared the charity of the poor and the rich and said that the smaller gifts of the former were as praiseworthy in the sight of God as the larger offerings of the lat- J. Goldstein, president of the society, stated that there are now 300 members on the roll and that actual work had already been commenced. The following named officers were chosen: J. Goldstein, president; J. L. Abram- owitz, vice president; M. Rosenberg, sec- retary; I. Harland, treasurer; H. Marks, A. Davis, M. Goldblath, B. Marcus, J. Harland and M. Wise, trustees. George Maxwell Beats H. A. Lafler and Is Arrested on Charge of Battery. George Maxwell, ex-secretary of the Fire Department, was arrested yesterday morning about 8 o'clock by Policeman Sheehan and booked at the City Prison on a charge of battery. He was released on $5 cash bail. The complaining witness against him is H. A. Lafler, who lives in the neighborhood. Maxwell's statement is that some one had been annoying him by stealing The Call from his doorstep, at 2048 Leaven- worth street, and yepterday morning ho made up his mind to watch for the pape.- "lifter." He says he :iaw Lafler pick up the paper and he immediately pounced upon him. Lafler got mad and followel Maxwell into his house, threatening to thrash him. Maxwell stood it as long as he could, and suddenly Lafler wondere-i what had struck him, as he found hlrr. self on the sidewalk. He complained to Policeman Sheehan, and Maxwell's arre3t followed. Maxwell threatens to get even with Lafler by swearing out a warrant for his arrest to-day for petty larceny. Lad Vanquishes Footpad. Herbert Waddington, 16 years of age, employed as a clerk in the drug store at the corner of Geary and Octavia streets, while on his way home about 9 o'clock on Saturday night, was held up as he was passing the Unitarian Church at the cor- ner of Franklin and Geary streets. A man jumped out of the shadows and de- manded young Waddington' s watch and money. The boy was carrying an um- brella in his hand and brought it down on the fellow's head. This conftised and stag- gered the would-be footpad, and young Waddington made the best possible time he could toward his home. Trapper's Oil cures rheumatism and neuralgia. Druggists, We flask. Richard & Co. 40S Clay. * Advantages of Socialism. Rev. J. E. Scott delivered a lecture on "The Advantages of Socialism" before Liberty Branch of the Socialist Demo- cratic party at Academy of Science Hall last night. Mr. Scott expounded the prin- ciples of socialism, which, he said, were destined to reorganize society on a proper basis. He detailed at length what he rec- ognized as the advantages of socialism and said that the movement would ulti- mately settle the labor question because it teaches that the laborer should receive the product of his labor or its equivalent. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1901. MARCUS' DRAFT FAILS TO ARRIVE WI TTMAN ORDERS GAMING STOPPED Weil-Dressed Woman Rents a Room, and After Her Departure Bedmaker Finds Three-Day-Old Boy Asleep in the Blankets. Infant Is Sent to Emergency Hospital and Police Are Notified EMPLOYE FINDS ABANDONED BABY IN THE MANSION LODGING-HOUSE New Police Chief De- clares Himself on the Question. 10 INFANT THAT WAS ABANDONED IN LODGING-HOUSE BY WELL- DRESSED WOMAN SATURDAY. Police Officer Morlarity responded, and calling the patrol wagon had the infant conveyed to the Central Emergency Hospital. The child, was examined there and the physicians in attendance gave it as their opinion that the boy was not more than three days old. He was place 1 In charge of the nurses, and soon made friends with the rubber end of. a nursing bottle, to his evident catisfaction. There was nothing about the infant to Indicate its maternity. It was warmly clothed in the usual accessories of a baby's wardrobe. A pink and white striped tennis flannel nightgown, a while lama cloth coat and an infant's cap, also of white material, were on the infant. Fritz Sheef, the bedmaker, says: A woman came to the house three nights ago who looked like the one who rented the room last night. I did not Day much attention to her, but she was pretty well dressed. I showed her several rooms, and she said she would call again. About 1 o'clock last night a womaa came and rented the front room on the first floor. I lighted the lamp In her room and left her. I went Into the room about noon to-day, and found the baby In the bed. It looked as If some one had slept in the bed during the night, but it was not much mussed. I did not hear anybody come In or out during the night, and the woman who rented the room had nothing in her hand. According to Sheef, the woman seemed pleased that a dim lamp was the only means of lighting the room, the gas usu- ally being turned off »n the house before midnight. There are two entrances to the house, one on Mission street, the main entrance, and a secontf one at the rear, used in common by a number of adjoining buildings of the same character. The theory of the pclice is that the woman after engaging the room went out and secured the infant and hushed it to sleep, or that it was brought to her by some person from the outside, who was made cognizant of the location of the room. The infant will be sent to-day to Mount St. Joseph's Infant Asjlum unless the mother is located in the meanwhile. AjyVERTISEMENTS^ - u -,^- RIBBONS, UNDERWEAR, FEATHER BOAS ..AND,..

HEBREWS FORM SOCIETYTO RELIEVE DISTRESS

The police of this city have been askedto locate Alex K. Bell, who came herefrom Portland a short time ago. Bellwas to have married Miss Edna Cannonof Portland last Wednesday, but on theeve of the wedding he suddenly disap-peared. An investigation revealed that hehad informed a friend that he was aboutto leave for this city to settle up somebusiness matters. It is known that Bellarrived here last Thursday, but sincethen no trace of him has been found.Before leaving Portland he told a Mr.McCusker, who is a brother-in-law ofthe bride to be, that he was feeing illand that he intended to come to this cityto seek medical advice. On learning ofhis disappearance and thinking that hemight be seriously ill Mr. McCuskercame to this city last Friday and ap-pealed to Captain of Detectives Seymourto find him.

Seymour had his men search the vari-ous hospitals for Bell, but they failed toget a trace of him. Miss Cannon, who isa very estimable young woman, fearsthat her prospective husband is tho vic-tim of foul play. She cannot account forhis failure to keep his promise to marryher, except that he was suddenly bereftof his reason on account of sickness.

WATCHES FOR THE MANWHO TAKES HIS PAPEJt

"If an individual bearing the name ofH. C. Marcus, of smooth appearance, in-gratiating manners and eloquent tongue,tries to win your confidence by tales ofunbusiness-like banks in the East thatare neglecting to send him drafts forplethoric sums, and follows up his at-tempt with a request for temporary relief,

tell him you're busted."This is the advice that Allen S. Gris-

wold, late of the Yale preparatory schooland now growing up with the West,* of-fers to the generously inclined of SanFrancisco.

Marcus came before the public about sixweeks ago, through a supposed overdoseof laudanum, for which he was treated atthe Emergency Hospital. His story atthe time was that, feeling pains in hisstomach, he entered the fi*"st lodging-house to which he came, hired a roomand telephoned for a doctor. The doctordid not come right away, so Mar-cus administered to himself, he said, afew drops of laudanum. He was discov-ered by Dr. Mish, who telephoned to thehospital for an ambulance. Marcus wasrevived, and while at the hospital madethe acquaintance of Dr. jfc). A. Dlggins.A few days later Marcus called on the

doctor, showed him pockets full of oilstock and receipts for all kinds of moneyand gave him inside information aa toevery sort of good thing. Then he toldDiggins the story of a draft which a care-less Philadelphia bank had failed to sendhim. He wanted" a few dollars. The doc-tor said nay. Then he offered to put upsomo of his paper money as security.Again nay from the doctor and nay againwhen he suggested* that the doctor intro-duce him to some friend who might beinduced to help Mr. Marcus tide over thefinancial vacuum caused by the non-arrival of the draft.

Keeps TJp Acquaintance.Marcus still dropped in on Dlggins,

however, and one day, on parting, askedthe doctor to please telegraph to Phila-delphia for him and find out what wasdelaying the draft. He did not give thename of the bank, however, and when hedropped in a few days later in companywith Allen S. Griswold, the doctor had re-ceived no news of the draft.

"Did you get any word from my draft.Doc?" was the greeting.

Diggins started into explain the impossi-bilityof having done so, when Marcus in-terrupted him by introducing his friendGriswold. The pair left together. Thiswas about three weaks ago.

Griswold returned a few days ago to in-quire as to the whereabouts of Diggins'friend Marcus. Explanations followedand Griswold told the following story:He came out here a few months ago, he

said. He had taken a course at the Yalepreparatory school and had come Westfor a whirl before entering college. Hewhirled too much. The rotary motionemptied his pockets and he found him-self penniless ina strange city. He wrotehome for money, but in the interval se-cured in a humble boarding-house a jobwhich insured him board and lodging.Itwas here he met Marcus. Griswold,

attracted by the manner of the former,told his story. It was a strange co-incidence. Marcus was in the same fix.His remittance had gone astray, but hisdoctor was keeping the wires hot findingout the reason.

Griswold's remittance came.Draft Still Missing.

"Let's go down to the doctor. Iguesshe's got my draft by this time," said JMarcus, "and we can go away and lookinto those little propositions Ihave beentelling you about. There'll be a barrel ofmoney in it for both of us."

The result of the visit to the doctor'shas already been detailed.

Marcus took the non-arrival philosophi- jcally. It was a draft of Croesian dimen-sions and well worth waiting for. Mar-cus was

'awfully short, however, and

would Griswold mind—Griswold didn't mind. He provided

Marcus with ready money. He boughtsome of his oil stock. He bore the ex-pense of a trip to Stockton and paid aweek's lodging at the hotel for the pair.He paid for a long telegram to the Phila-delphia bank directing an immediate myvestigation of the draft's delay, and hepaid for other things.

One day Marcus informed him that hisdraft was on the way, but that in themeanwhile Griswold had better go toRedding and look into a few good thingssome of Marcus' friends were keepingopen for the missing draft.

Armed with letters of Introduction tohalf a dozen of what Marcus said wereRedding's most influential citizens, Gris-wold went to Redding. Nobody in Red-ding knew any of the Marcus citizens.Griswold's rusty alarm clock finallyrang.

He returned to San Francisco thorough-lyawakened and visited Dr. Diggins. Hewent to the office of the oil company inwhich he held Marcus' stock and fpundthe stock worthless. His money is almostgone, most of it by the Marcus route.Saturday he took the balance and boughta ticket to Bakersfield, where he hassome relatives. He says he is afraid tostay in San Francisco, but ifhe thoughtby doing so he could meet Marcus hewould take the risk. -Dr. Sol C. Mish said fast evening in an

interview that he attended Marcus twicefor poisoning. The first time Marcus tooxpoison was at the Sutherland Hotel. Hawas removed to the Waldeck and prom-ised to pay the bill when he left, whichhe failed to do. The second time Dr.Mish was called he decided that the besi;place for Marcus to be attended to wasthe Emergency Hospital, where he event-ually was sent. Dr. Mish also states thata barber by the name of Scott called uponhim and complained that Marcus hadsold him worthies oil stock and had se-cured $50 of his good money.

INFANT THAT WAS ABANDONEDIN LODGING-HOUSE BY WELL-

DRESSED WOMAN SATURDAY.

Police Officer Morlarity responded, andcalling the patrol wagon had the infantconveyed to the Central EmergencyHospital. The child, was examined thereand the physicians in attendance gave itas their opinion that the boy was notmore than three days old. He was place 1In charge of the nurses, and soon madefriends with the rubber end of. a nursingbottle, to his evident catisfaction.

There was nothing about the infant toIndicate its maternity. It was warmlyclothed in the usual accessories of ababy's wardrobe. A pink and whitestriped tennis flannel nightgown, a whilelama cloth coat and an infant's cap, alsoof white material, were on the infant.

Fritz Sheef, the bedmaker, says:

A woman came to the house three nights agowho looked like the one who rented the roomlast night. Idid not Day much attention toher, but she was pretty well dressed. Ishowedher several rooms, and she said she would callagain. About 1 o'clock last night a womaacame and rented the front room on the firstfloor. Ilighted the lamp In her room and lefther.Iwent Into the room about noon to-day, and

found the baby In the bed. It looked as Ifsome one had slept in the bed during the night,but it was not much mussed. Idid not hearanybody come In or out during the night, andthe woman who rented the room had nothingin her hand.

According to Sheef, the woman seemedpleased that a dim lamp was the onlymeans of lighting the room, the gas usu-ally being turned off »n the house beforemidnight. There are two entrances to thehouse, one on Mission street, the mainentrance, and a secontf one at the rear,used in common by a number of adjoiningbuildings of the same character.

The theory of the pclice is that thewoman after engaging the room went outand secured the infant and hushed it tosleep, or that it was brought to her bysome person from the outside, who wasmade cognizant of the location of theroom.

The infant willbe sent to-day to MountSt. Joseph's Infant Asjlum unless themother is located in the meanwhile.
