12 CLEVEREST FORGERS KNOWN. TWo of the principals the Nevada Robbery. POLICE GET A CONFESSION FROM CREEGAN "Squeals" on Becker at Last. TRYING TO SAVE HIMSELF CHIEF LEES SAYS NO INDUCEMENTS WERE OFFERED. The Prosecution Is Now Confident That the Adept Bank Forger Will Be Again Convicted.

The Police Department is now more than confident that Charles Becker, the dangerous bank will be convicted at hi.s thi; forging a 122,000 draft on the Nevada, Hank. James Creegan, who was with on the first trial, fiiffs turned against Becker, and yesterday; 'be told ill he knew about the 1 The police refose to give the detaiis of Cruan's confession, as it would put ssiop of the new evidence before it is given in court. Creegan's testimony, added to that of Fnirik Deane who turned State's evidence when trio were arrested, and on pny Becker and Creegan wrre once convicted, will undoubtedly, send the notorious forger to prison for life. Creegan has bopn one of Backer's partners fur years and they have perpetrated many gigantic bank Besides Informing toe police of the details of the Nevada Bank deal Greegan is believed to have "peached" on a number of other transactions in which he participated with "When Deane testified against his partners in the nrst trial fMape Wallace laid down the rules of evidence that an accomplice's test-mony could not be considered unless it was corroborated. The evidence given by though almost unsupported, secured a conviction.

The police now declare that Creegan has furnished all the necessary collateral links to make the chain around Becker so strong that nothing can prevent a conviction. Creegan is the only man who saw Becker raise the Woodland draft from $12 to and he has placed the police in a position to secure all the corroborative evidence to establish when and where the work was done, me materials used and they were outalned. Oreegan now occupies the "parlor" cell at the City Prison with Deane. He was taken to court yesterday, but did not return to the County Jail, where he had been the cellmate of Becker. During the afternoon, and again last night, the new witness had long conferences with Chief Lees.

The Chief, however, would not disclose the purpose of the interviews Nevertheless he emphatically declared that the case against Becker had been greatly strengthened. Becker declined to talk about Creegari's "squealing," saying only that he had an inkling that he would do so. The third trial of this famous case Is set for Thursday morning. Mr. Ach, attorney for tHe prosecution, wa3 seen last night, and claimed that he did not know Creegan had turned State's evidence.

"I heard the rumor this evening." he said, "but whether it is true I cannot say. As far as 1 know, there has been no inducement offered Creegan to Rive testimony against Becker, and as far as I am concerned I would prefer he did not turn State's evidence. I am firmly convinced that with an honest jury 1 can convict both Becker and Creegan." Only rumors of Creegan's determination to turn State's evidence have reached Messrs. Dunne McPike, the attorneys who have fought so long and hard to se-. cure the acquittal of the two forgers.

IV-ter P. Dunne, the senior member of tne firm said "I am as much in the dark about this as anybody else. All I- know about it is this: Tho trial of Becker and Cretan was set for this morning in Judge Wallace's court. "After the proceedings in court to-day were concluded Becker was taken back to the County Ja'J, while Creegan was locked up In the City Prison. "Soon after Becker reached the County Jai! he sent for either Mr.

McPike or myself to go and see him. Mr. McPike went to the jail and to him Becker confided his fears, that Creegan' intended to make a confession, his fears being based solely on the fact that Oreegan had been taken to the City Prison instead of being returned to his old quarters in the County Jail. "Creepran is a young man, not vet 40 years old, and believes that if he is convicted on this trial Judge Wallace will again sentence him to life imprisonment. lie has now been in jail about three years and it is reasonable to suppose he would resort to almost any means to escape spending the remainder of his life behind iron bars.

"Becker Is regarded by the police as the most dangerous man of the lot by far, and they would make almost any concession to the others in order to secure the conviction of Becker, and if they have promised Creegan his freedom in return for a confession it is a great temptation to a man in his position." I wish to publicly thank the president and directors of the Hibernia Bank fur their kind, prompt and generous assist! ance in my time of need, and I wish fur-1 ther to state that any person or broker offering my property, or any of it, for sale, is doing so without my consent and against my wishes. I am still able to attend to my own select my own advisers. J. Baldwin by i Madison Burke. CONGREGATIONAL CLUB.

Annual Banquet of That Org-aniza- tion at the California Hotel. The Congregational Club of San Francisco and vicinity gave its annual banquet at the California Hotel last evening. The affair commenced at 5 o'clock in the afternoon with a social assembly, in which all the members took part. After the dinner the club held a business meeting, during which Hon E. D.

Sawyer delivered an address on "Municipal Government" that excited the interest of his hearers. A free discussion on the subject followed and adjournment took place at 9. The officers of the club are Rev. George C. Adams, D.

president; Rev. George B. Hatch, vice president; James K. Ager, secretary and treasurer; S. F.

Bufford, auditor; executive committee Professor William M. Searby and Rev. C. R. Brown.

"Dls yere niggah ho hit me fust, Jedge, he did fer a fack." His voice grew bolder as he saw chances of his vindication In the eyes of the Judge. HIGHBINDERS NOW SCARCE. Appearance of Lieutenant of Police Price Drives Them to Their Hovels. THE frequent cases of murder and assault in Chinatown have at last aroused Chief of Police Lees and the Chinese Consul to sensible action. Both agreed that something must be done, and accordingly Lieutenant of Police William Price has been detailed to preserve the peace and to prevent a repetition of such murderous scenes.

The squad under Sergeant McManus will not be replaced, but will simply be reinforced by Price and his men, as they were not capable, single handed, of controlling the terrors of the Celestial quarter. Since the appearance of Price, highbinders have kept under shelter, and not one of them has shown his face in any of the alleys or the Sheets The Mongolians have a wholesome fear of the lieutenant, as on one occasion several years ago he entered a den in which a number of murderers and criminals had gathered, and routed them in such an effective fashion that the residence of many of them in this city became a memory on the day following. Lieutenant Price is their bogie man. THE SAX FRANCSICO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1898. DARING CRIME OF A DAYLIGHT HOUSEBREAKER Enters a Sutter-Street Residence.

STEALS VALUABLE JEWELRY DISCOVERED BY A SERVANT, HE MAKES HIS ESCAPE, He Was Seen by a Citizen, Who Has Given the Police a Good Description of Him. An unusually daring burglary was committed yesterday afternoon at the residence of Alexander George, 794 Sutter street. Shortly after noon Mrs. George went shopping, leaving Miss Olsen, the servant, in charge of the house. The latter was in the kitchen preparing dinner when she heard a peculiar noise upstairs.

Suspecting something wrong she went to her room and was surprised to find the window open. A subsequent examination showed that her gold watch, a pair of valuable earrings and a purse, containing a small sum of money, were gone. The daring burglar had climbed through the window and at once proceeded to search the room for valuables. After securing the watch and earrings, which were carelessly left on the bureau, he broke open the drawers, but failing to find anything of value, he proceeded to the next room. While ransacking it he dropped some heavy instrument on tho floor, which attracted the attention of the servant.

As she ran upstairs he evidently became alarmed and hurriedly left the premises. The servant lost no time in notifying the policeman on the beat, who proceeded to make an investigation. He found that the burglar had forced open the window, presumably with a jimmy. It is probable he saw Mrs. George leave the house.

Last night Miss Olsen visited police headquarters and gave a description of the stolon property. She suspects of the pang of laborers who are employed In repairing a hmi.se adjoining the one occupied by George and his wife. Accordmg to hor story she fastened the window of her room immediately after Mrs. George had left the premises. She then went downstairs to the kitchen, and a minutes later her attention was attracted by a- peculiar noise in her room- As she reached apartment she saw the foot of a man protruding through the open window.

Going to the bureau she at once missed her jewelry, and lustily shouted for help. By this time the burglar had disappeared. A citizen who was passing at tho time saw the housebreaker running down the street. The police have a description of him and every effort will be made to run him down. Baldwin Fire.

Sale of the Kimberly Gem and Watch House. The stock of jewelry and watches saved from the Baldwin fire. Must be closed out in the next ten days at 50 cents on the dollar at 123 Kearny street. THE TIVOLI'S CYRANO NOT A GAY JEST It Is Cleverly Scened and Directed. STEVENS A HAPPY "SECRET SERVICE" REOPENS AND CROWDS CALIFORNIA.

"Gay Manhattan" at the Columbia. Comedy and Melodrama Presented in the Other Theaters. There was a crowd In the Tivoli last night to witness the second local production of "Cyrano de Bergerac." It was a good-natured crowd, easy and affable and prepared for the worst that might happen. After the "Cyrano" experiences in Bush street last week only one thing could have surprised crowd a good performance of poor Rostand's much be-actored masterpiece. And happy to relate the crowd was surprised; the performance was good.

It was tastefully, even beautifully scened; the stage direction was sane and artistic, and the acting was quite good enough to give one a fair idea of the drama in English. After jollying the idea of a Tivoli "Cyrano" as I have done I blush to write these kind words. But the truth must be told. As the Sheriff said to the woman whose husband he had hanged by mistake. "The joke is on me." Really, you are given a very decent Idea of the spring, spirit and fantastic romance of "Cyrano de Bergerac by the performance at the Tivoli.

tf course to know "Cyrano" at the best you should read the book; after that see the Coquelin or the Mansfield production; but if you can't wait for either of these then plunge for a half-dollor's worth at the Tivoli. Personally, I should have been satisfied with read- Ing the book and waiting for Mansfield, but the local managers are less patient. The name "Cyrano de Bergerac" stands for all that is gloriously and gratuitously advertised in the modern theatrical world; and the play is to every manager in this country (except Mansfield, who chose to pay a royalty) as free as air. New masterpieces that are world-wide in popularity and free don't happen oftener than once in a lifetime; so the little managers go In for "Cyrano" productions with the same amiable enterprise that inspires other merchants to offer their patrons "Cyrano" cigars and "Cyrano" hair restorers. When the Tivoli people announced a serious production with their principal comic onera comedian in the leading part, I saw only the funny, mercenary Bide of it.

Hence those "joshes," which are now on me. While I am not obliged to say that the freeness and commercial charm of "Cyrano" were ignored by the Tivoli management, I can say in all integrity that that management went about its business in a quiet, thorough business like way. George Lask. the stage manager, was sent East to observe the Mansfield and Daly productions, to find where cuts could be made and where they could and to get the plans of the costumes and scenery. And if there is a man in this town who knows his business his name is George Lask.

The management was generous, and he got up a production that is more than creditable in the circumstances, and in many ways artistic. The Tivoli Instead of hurting the popular interest in "Cyrano" has done it good; and for several weeks to come "Cyrano" will quicken the popular interest in the Tivoli. Now for the acting, which Is the real surprise; anybody with time and money and workmen can get up a welldressed stage. Edwin Stevens plays the long-nosed title part, and plays it well. Ido not mean that he plays it well for 50 cents or for a comic opera comedian, but just plain "well." He has given thought and study not only to the part, but to the whole play, and he has caught something of the delightfully extravagant atmosphere and of the poetic glow.

He does not give to the character all the recklessness and ring nor all the emotional warmth that are in it, because there are limits to his temperament which are easily reached in this part. But he does read the lines with authority and imagination and with almost faultless enunciation, and his impersonation is always consistent and always interesting. One improvement I might suggest, and that is that in the love scenes he affect less of what for lack of a readier term I may, call the "baby voice." It is an old trick, this, and one that I have never seen done with success, and it was the only regrettable feature ofhis work in the balcony scene. In the duel, in the recitation of the "Gay Cadets," and in the overwhelmingly difficult "moon" scene where the singing voice is employed much as Ophelia's is in the mad scene in "Hamlet," Mr. Stevens was admirable.

He played with brains and appreciation, and bar the one fault already mentioned his performance was a success, a success qualified only by the temperamental limitations vi the player. The souvenirs of the recent comic opera season were few and confined mainly to the highly-costumed thinking parts and a paragraph in the programme printed in the middle of the cast which said "the management respectfully announces to the audience that a Napa soda lemonade is delicious." All costumed crowds are more or less silly, even in the best regulated romantic performances, and this one will do better in a night or two. Elvia Crox buries her opera-bouffe past very effectually in Roxane, but she ingenues the part too much. Roxane was young and tender and may be she had the gum-drop voice, but she was also something of a blue-stocking. However, Miss Crox is to be vigorously praised for her acquittal of the scene with Cyrano at the pastry cook's; the parting especially she did with delicacy and ingenuousness.

The rest of the cast is serviceable and effective, without requiring individual comment. All-in-all, this low-priced "Cyrano" Is a glad surprise and a lovely vindication for Edwin Stevens a.nd the Tivoli. ASHTON STEVENS. Columbia. Koster Bial's musical extravaganza, "Gayest Manhattan," in three acts, opened at the Columbia last evening.

The piece, like "In Gay New York," "A Round of Pleasure," "The Whirl of the Town" and many' other extravaganzas, la a potpourri of situationless situations interwoven into a mass of nonsense. Thero are enough songs, music and specialties to give the piece life, but the quality of its existence is not necessarily approved by artistic merit. There is a superfluity of songs, alleged to be topical, but there are not more than three that one would care to hear twice. The audience was by no means pronounced In its approval of the first net, hut in the second and third the piece livens up a bit. "For Sweet Charity's Sake." sunp by Misses Octavie Barbe and Jessica Duncan, in the first act, and a musical quintet in the second entitled, "Will Somebody Tell Me Why," came in for several encores.

On. the whole the audience were apparently pleased "Gayest Manhattan. It is here for two weeks. California. Phoenix-like, "Secret Service" has risen from the ashes of the Baldwin Theater, nnd in new grarb and with fresh scenery opened its second week at the California last evening.

The audience was larsre, fashionable and duly appreciative of Mr. Gillette's war romance. It is but a repetition to say that "Secret Service" was ag-aln presented with perfect complete- 1 ness, and that its intense situations and norvp-wrenching climaxes held the individual interest and attention of the audience. After a week of enforced rest the members of the company were appreciably enerpetic and faithful, and in consequence the realism of the stirring drama was more forcible than ever. "Secret Service" will be at the California the remainder of the week.

Alcazar. The. clever stock company at the Alcazar gave a capital presentation last night of Roland Rood's satirical comedy, "The Politician." The plot is simple and hinges upon the devices adopted by General Limber, the politician, to defeat his enemy. Meggs, in the nomination for Congress. A lot of comical situations are evolved which cause no end of fun.

Clarence Montaine, as the politician, had to do most of the work, and he did it well. George Osbdurne, as the simple old gentleman who the misfortune to be selected as the nominee of the general, was excellent, and Ernest Hastings had an opportunity of displaying his versatility as the swell member of the Coaching Club, "just from abroad, you know." Gretchen Lyons was an excellent type of the advocate of woman's rights, and Laura Clews and Marie Howe, as the daughter and sister of thp general's nominee, were pleasing. The other parts were well sustained. New Comedy. "Cyrano de Bergerac," as played by Edward Bell and the Henderson Company, is still the attraction at the Comedy.

"Ole Olson" comes Monday. Alf Ellinghouae has resigned from the managerial offices of the Comedy to devote his Labors to a publication called "Theatricals." Orpheum. Between the newcomers and the holdovers the Orpheum bill is unusually strong this week. Morosco's. "The Commodore," a naval melodrama founded on incidents of the war with Spain, was produced for the first time in this city last evening at Morosco's Grand Opera House.

Olympia. The Olympia Music Hall has a strong attraction in Freada, the twirling Turkish dancer. The Chutes. The damp and drizzly evening was not conducive to a large house at the Chutes Free Theater, but the new programme was thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. MOTION TO DISMISS THE FIGEL CASES THEBE IS NO CHANCE OP A CONVICTION.

Acting District Attorney Hinkle appeared before Judge Cook yesterday and made a motion that the various charges of forgery and embezzlement against Theodore Figel be dismissed, on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to convict. In support of the motion the following letter from District Attorney Barnes was read: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28. 1898 Hon. "Walter S.

Hinkle. Assistant District Attorney and Acting District Attorney The now pending in Department 12 of the Superior Court on informations filed against Theodore A. Flgrel for forgery and em.bezzlement are about to be called for trial or final disposition. An examination of the law and the facts in these cases has satisfied me that It will be impracticable to pursue them any reasonable ex jactation of securing conviction in any of them. The death of Isaac Hoffman has removed not only an important but an essential witness for the prosecution.

The rule established by the Supreme Court in cases of this character requires the prosecution to establish affirmatively that the signature of Isaac Hoffman is not his genuine handwriting and was in fact written by Figel, anil also that Mr. Huffman did not authorize, empower or sanction this use of his name by the defendant, and disproof cannot be furnished, nor does an examination of the evidence taken on the preliminary examination of the defendant disclose any facts from which the principal fact can be reasonably inferred or which overcomes the presumptions arising 1 from them. The game conditions of farts and law are found In the charges of embezzlement The trial of these cases would naturally fte protracted. The preliminary examination occupied several months and was exceedingly expensive to the Ptate. There is no reason to believe that trials would be less costly, and Indeed it may be assumed that they will expensive than they hitherto have been and this without any reasonable expeotat r.

of conviction, or affirmance of any conviction if it should be had by the Superior Court. In view of these facts you are directed to move the court to dismiss these cases referred to, and each of them. I have reason to believe that this course will meet with no objection from special counsel hitherto engaged to prosecute them, but who have now withdrawn from further connection with them. Respectfully yours. WILLIAM S.

BARNES, District Attorney of the City and County of San Francisco, State of California. Judge Cook refused to decide the case Immediately and took the matter under advice. It is thought, however, that the cases will be stricken from the calendar at an early date. A SECOND TRIAL FOR THE FARRAGUT IRVING M. SCOTT IS CONFIDENT OF HER SUCCESS.

The new torpedo boat Farragut is preparing for another trial sprint on the bay. Word has been received from Washington that the Navy Department would order the Inspection officers aboard when the little flyer was ready for a second test. On the first trial she fell a fraction under the required thirty knots. She made over that speed on parts of the Course, but for the full hour she lost twenty seconds. She should have made 417 propeller revolutions per minute for the hour's ruji, but she averaged 147 revolutions short.

As her maximum number of revolutions is 435 it is plain to be seen that the little craft could have easily come up to the required 417 revolutions. Irving Scott stated last evening that something like 270 revolutions was the number believed necessary to send the boat over the run In the required time, but the force of the wind blowing at the time over portions of the course materially retarded tho vessel. The depth of the water also affected her moflon. The hull of a vessel moving at a high speed pushes a volume of water with her not only on each side but under her keel. If the depth be great the force of this wave will expend itself, but when it strikes the bottom of the bay it drags and holds back considerably the moving hull.

Mr. Scott was asked why he did not take the Farragut to- Santa Barbara Channel for her trial. There the water is deep and in every way suitable for a continuous run. "That is true," he said, "but it Is unnecessary to do so. The boat is good for those missing twenty seconds right here in San Francisco Bay.

It has been intimated that the boat had failed in her official trial and in all probability would be rejected by the Government. This is incorrect, as there is no limit to the tests nor the time of those trials. The greater the tests of her endurance the. better boat she will have proved herself to be. providing she comes up" to her required speed.

And she will, depend on that. Only twenty seconds. She needs twenty fathoms of i water under her and 147 more revolutions per minute and the Farraput is the best craft in the a worthy little sister of the San Francisco, Olympia, Oregon I and Wisconsin, and, in fact, of everything California workmen have sent afloat. The Farragut will be In commissfon one day ready for any work Uncle Sam has for her to do. "During her first trial, with a maximum propeller revolution of sometimes 435 over parts of the run.

she logged thirty-one knots. This showing was, of course, made to the Navy Department, and the request for more tests, of course, granted. The Farragut is all right." Jeffersonian Diplomacy. The sixth of a series of lectures upon American history from 1781 to IS3B. being given under the auspices of Puerta del Oro Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, will be delivered this afternoon at 4 o'clock by Dr.
