Arrests Yet Made in Crime by Which Italian Gambler Met His Death POLICE Investigations Into the mnr dar of James SeBestra who lived at the St Faul Hotel and who was shot to death early Wednesday morning In front of a house at 49 Bannam place have centered In finding a woman believed to reside near the scene of the murder and Mike Saronl an Italian who once was a friend of Segestra The police believe that the man and the woman may be able to shed some light on the motive that actuated the crime and possibly on the identity of the slayer The woman In the case la one that Segestra Is believed to have been Infatuated with It is thought that he had left her home a few momenta before the fatal shots were fired Segestra was known In the Italian quarter and along the Barbary Coast as rather a successful gambler 80 far as the police have been able to discover he had no other visible means ot support The Identification of the man who evidently was shot from ambush came wnen the detectives gathered tne information that In the Latin quarter the man was known as Jlm and that he had a brother In Jail at San Jose Armed with a photograph of the murdered man Detective Charles Taylor went to San Jose and alter making careful Inquiries at the County Jail there found Antonio Segestra now seTvlng a sixty day sentence for bat tery who unhesitatingly Identified the photograph as that 01 his brother James SEAncn Ron COMPANION The story told by Antonio was that a friend Mike Saronl came with the Segestra brothers from Chicago He landed here without any money and the brothers supported him for some time Eventually Antonio and Saronl went to San Jose and secured employment although Antonio says he continued to advance Saronl money from time to time About the middle of July Antonio Segestra says Jie discovered that Saronl had money and upbraided him for taking money from him He says Saronl started to leave San Jose taking some of Antonios clothing with him Antonio caught him and a fight followed Antonio was thrown into Jail and Saronl disappeared Previous to that time bad blood ex isted between James Segestra and Saronl Antonio Segestra says The police now are trying to locate Saronl to see If he can shed any light on the murder mystery At the St Faul Hotel It was said that three or four days ago the murdered man was without funds and was trying to borrow money from fellow lodgers When the body was found there was 100 In the pockets of the clothing and a gold watch worth about 50 woman nc Tnn cask Only two shots were fired both tak ing effect according to Mrs I Tu rlcco of 517 Union street who heard the shooting but saw no one leave the alley That the murderer knew his victim would walk to the point where he could shoot him is the belief of Detectives Arthur MacPbee and Charles Taylor who were assigned to the case by Captain Wall The slayer hid behind the south wall of a house that projects out two feet beyond the front of 40 Bannam place As his victim came abreast he shot him and then fled No effort was mads to rob the slain man nor as had been reported had his pockets been rifled The police hold the theory that the victim had been accustomed to visit some woman probably one who recently moved Into one of the houses on the alley The slayer It Is believed was enraged by Jealousy and planned accordingly to murder his rival The fact that the murdered man was In the dark alley risking a hold up when he might as easily nave walked down Orant avenue or Stockton street lends color to the theory Detectives Esola and MacPhee are making effort to locate the woman In the caae and believe that even If she falls to corns forward and assist the police herself they will find her before long GIEL TELLS PITIFUL TALE TO FEDERAL

Ninety Votes We will have ninety votes out of 141 that will be represented at the meeting of the Democratlo State Central Committee Monday afternoon1 This is the prediction that Davis described in the play bill as Foe to Bell and otherwise known aa the president of the Woodrow Wilson League of California makes for the battle of the Democrats which is announced for Monday afternoon at the Palace Hotel when the State Committee will assemble at the call of a majority of Its members gatherod by the anti Bell progressives and also at the call of the Bell chairman When Davis was asked what he proposed to do with so many votes he replied The Wilson programme whatever the Wilson programme Is will be carried out There are 141 members of the committee It Is claimed that 143 will either attend or be represented by proxies The confessed purpose of calling the meeting Is to reorganise the State Committee which expires by limitation September 24th by ousting the Bell officers and putting Wilson progressives In their places to conduct the Democratic campaign In the State Report to Be Given Within a Few Days on Valuation of Companys Properties Mai or Rolph Mtatea that within a few davs the negotiations for the purchase by the city of the Spring Valley water system will have progressed to the point of making an offer to the Spring Valley Company A meeting of the advisory committee was held yesterday In the Mayors office and almost all of the details of the offer were arranged The advisory commltte Is composed of Mayor Rolph City Attorney Long Supervisors Jennings and Vogelsang as chairmen of the Finance and Public Utilities committees and Judge Curtis II Llndley The offer will be signed bv them and also by the other members of the Board of Supervisors The offer la of course to be a tentative one as It will be subject to the approval of the people The advisory committee In designating the sum which is to be proposed the purchase price of the Spring Valley properties will make a report of why this sum Is deemed a fair valuation While the Spring Valley Company was willing between two and three years ago to sell out to the city for 35000000 It has refused since then to strike another bargain on the same terms When former Mayor McCarthy reopened negotiations with the company he found that at least 40 000000 would have to be paid The McCarthy administration did not get far enough along to make any terms with the company The advisory committees valuation la being kept by the members to themselves but It Is said to be somewhere between 35000000 and 40000000 and somewhat nearer the larger than the smaller sum When Mayor McCarthy apparently regretting the defeat ot the 35000000 proposition took up the matter of buying the system on his own hook the company told ot the additional properties which It had acquired which made the value of the system several millions of dollars greater than before and since then Spring Valleys representatives have been boosting Its valuation for sale purposes without however specifying a price at which the company would undertake to sell to the city Finding that the city was anxious to buy the company has waited for It to make the first specific offer Noted Catholic Divine Passes Away Suddenly at St Marys Hospital i SiiBHslPPIIHiiiBrV HslslHstll kJiliiK ssHHbIsW i prii 1 Rev Alexander Doyl noted Catholic priesU
