He requested Dr. McNeil to take out an insurance policy, which Dr. MeNeil did, paying some cash and giving the note of $20 for the remainder with the understanding that this notefcould be paid by services supplied in medical examina- tions. When Noble was pressed by Bar- duhn for payment for clothes suppiied to him he handed over this McNeil note as cash. Dr. Thomas L. RHill, who nas offices in (‘he 0dd Fellows’ building, is another San }ragclsco citizen who desires to see Cyrus D. Noble. Dr. Hill was persuaded to take out a policy for $5000, so he says, which he was to pay for in dentistry. he amount of the premium was about $90. Dr, Hill bas been surprised to find that he was credited oniy $40 on the statement which the Des Moines Life Association has trans- niitted to him, whick leaves him liable to psy $50 to square the account for insur- ance, where he had expected to put up no cash, according to his unaerstanding of the verbal agreement had by him with Noble. _ Dr. Bryant, who is in the Flood build- ing, has a complaint to make, and so have the peopie, according to Attorney Phil- 1 to whom these persons have come for information.

The home office at Des Moines seemed to be thoroughly satisfied with the outlook, and for a period of about six months Mr. Noble, natty and self-con- tained, w: familiar personage on Mont- gomery and Market streets. hen Attorney L. E. Phillips opered his letter vesterday, which on the exterior bore the “Don’tswipe” injunction, his key fell out. It was the key to his office. which has for some time been in the pos- f Cyrus D. Noble. Some time Moines Life Association. espeech in which he asserfed that he ad heard very favorably of Mr. Phillips as a corporation lawyer. He closed with the offer of 8 salary of $500 per annum, to be payable sem nually in installments of $250. Not long after that N ble sug- gested that if Mr. Phillips were only nearer the place of business which Mr. Noble desired to occupy, it would be much more convenient for purposes of consulta- tion, if legal questions should arise, which Mr. Noble said, might be expected to be frequently the case. _Before t interview was over Mr. le had engaged Mr. Phillips’ outer e at the rate of $10 per month. Di- thereafter Mr. Noble was installed fontgomery street, put out his sign on the outer halilway and on the door of ce, and with his customary vigor = people went in. There was a procession of young women. ,”’_said Mr. Noble to Mr. that I am a ladykiller.”” .a young woman, who is en- gaged in a Montgomery-street office, went to an attorney and wanted to know what she could do to make Mr. Noble fill an zllegzed promise to marry her. She isa handsome brunette, with snapping black eyes, petite, with regular and attractive featvres and vivacious to a degree. She said that Mr. Noble had promised to marry her on the occasion of their second meet- ing, but he seemed to be a little backward. In the meantime Mr. Noble's clientele of ladies appeared to be on the increase. Just about as Mr. Phillips’ first install- it of salary was due from Mr. Nobie as attorney for the Des Moines Life Associa- tion, Mr. Noble éropped out of sight. There were at that time, and, in fact, still are, several months payments for office rent cue to Mr. Phillips in arrears, and with the six months salary due, Mr. Noble had quite a score against him alto- gether. Mr. Phillips did nos know until yesterday where Mr. Noble had gone; not until he received the letter before men- tioned, which was dsated at Portland, Or., and was written on a letter-head of the Portland Hotel. A part of the letter was as follows: “Iam sorry that I did not see you be- fore leaving the City, as I wanted to see you very badly. Good-by. You should be very much obliged to me for obtaining for you the position of attorney for the Des Moines Life Association. It makes no dif- ference what occurs in the future or what changes come, for if you stick to the Des Moines Life Association you will have money to burn.” Mr. Phillips was not greatly assured by this letter for he had already received a letter from Mr. Hubbard of Des Moines, in which the last named gentle- man said that Mr. Noble had no authority to make any contracts on behalf of the company. This letter also contained the information that prior to his engagement the company knew very little about'Mr. Noble, but that his address and manner had inspired sufficient confidence in Noble to secure for him the agency which he filled in San Francisco. While Attorney Phillips does not quite see how he is going to get even if Mr. Noble does not return, and the letter from Portland is icterpreted to mean a final adieu, there are others in the City who would also like to interview Mr. Noble and receive from him some of the good hard coin of the realm. One of these is John Barduhn, tailor, who does business on_the east side of Kearny street, near Market. Mr. Bar- duhn iold his story last evening. He says that he first made 8 suit of clothes for Noble which was not paid for. Noble persuaded him to have his life_insured to the amount of $1000 in the Des Moines Life Association. Noble said that he need not put up any cash, but that he would bring around people to trade enough to pay the premiums as they fell due. Mr. Barduhn was persuaded to put np $10 cash for; insurance, and that left §31 due for insurance which was to be paid in trade. ‘The clothes made for Noble not being paid for, Bardubn ~grew uneasy and finally secured in part payment a note for $20, which_had been given by Dr. Alex- ander McNeil, whose residence is on Van Ness avenue, to Noble. There is another story growing out of this note according to Dr. McNeil. This is that Noble came to him saying that he The | of $43 75, indorsed on a life policy which he took out upon_the representation that the attorney of the corporation ought fo show his confidence in it by becoming one of its policy-holders. The expectation is entertained by Attorney Phillips that the term of six months having expired, there will soon be other persons heard from who have been asked by the Des Moines Life Association to pay for premiums which they expected were to be turned against trade. The signs which Mr. Noble caused to be put up remain in their positions at 405 Montgomery street. IS NOT LEGISLATIVE. City and County Attorney Creswell’s Opinion on the Powers of the Board of Health. City and County Attorney Creswell has | rendered an opinion to the Board of Su- pervisors that the Board of Health has no legislative functions, and that it must ap- pea! to the Board of Supervisors when it desires the passage of legislative acts. The communication is as follows: To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of He did business | y Cyrus D. Noble invited At- | torney Phillips to be attorney for the Des | He made a nice | tness invited the public to come | | the City and County'of San Francisco: I am in receipt of a communication from the Commit- tee on Health and Police of your body, of { which the foilowing is & copy, viz.: “The Board of Health sdopled an order entitled, ‘Plumbing Rules and Regulations,’ submitted it to this board. requesting that it be consid- | ered, adopted and incorporated in the general | orders of the Board of Supervisors. Your opin- ion is respectfully requested as to whether it is necessary for this board to pass the sbove mentioned order, to the end that power may | be conferred upon the Board of Health.” Under the constitution of the State the ture of the State and the Board of Su- rs are clothed with legislative func- tions. The Legislature cannot constitution- ally delegate the power to legisiate to any other authority or body. The Board of Health has no legisiative functions. Hence, before anything of a legislative character in the plumbing rules and regulations can be made binding it is necessary that the Board of Su- should put them into the form of, ss them as, air ordinance. hing in them will thereafter be binding ch parts as may be in conflict with onstitutional or statutory grounds. HARRY T. ¢ RESWELL, Attoruey and Counselor. CHARGES WITHOUT PROO Th:y Caused a Great Sensation Among Local Stamp Col- lectors. | Georges Carion Has Received a Letter ! of Exoneration From New 1‘ York. | ! About two weeks ago one of the greatest | sensations 1n the history of the local | philatelic, or stamp-collecting, fraternity | was produced by the publication of cer- | tain charges made against Georges Carion | by his ex-clerk, George M. Schiller. | The latter claimed that be had intrusted to his former employer a8 consignment of French colonial stamps valued at $400, and that Carion had taken certain valua- | ble stamps from the books in which they | were fastened and had substituted coua- terfeits and inferior specimens. Schiller foliowed up this remarkable ac- cusation by securing a search warrant for Carion’s presence with the object of re- covering the alleged missing stamps, but the search was without result. Meanwhile Carion, in the presence of | reliable witnesses, sealed the stamps, among which were alleged to be the coun- terfeits, in an envelope and forwarded them by registered mail to the consignors, the Scott Stamp and Coin Company (lim- ited) of New York City, with the following letter: SN FRANCISCO, August 5, 1896. Degr Sir: 1have sent by regisiered mail the four books of French colonies, which you had sent on approval to George M. Schiller, and from which I have retained stamps to the amount of $14 91, which amcunt I will remit by next mail. Please axamine the stamps very carefully, as Mr. Schiller has insinuated that some of them have been suustituted or replaced by poor and less valuable specimens. Please acknowledge | receipt of stemps to Mr. Schiller and let me know at once about the mater. This brought forth 8 prompt reply from the New York firm, and one which Mr. Carion and his friendsconsidera complete refutation of the charges made by Mr. Schiller. This communication follows: NEw YORK, August 11, 1896. Georges Carion, San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR Sir: We have received your letter of the 5th and also the four approval books of French colonies” stamps by registered mail. We find your statement of ‘account is correct, the net amount of §14 90 having been removed. We have iooked through the books, and. so far as we can remember and to the best of our belief, the stamps remaining in the books are those which were originally_ there.- As Te- q;{lesud, we shall write Mr. Schiller to this effect. In view of this exoneratiod of Mr. Carion mystery shrouds the motive which prompted the charges made by Schiller and leaves the latter in a rather peculiar position. Mr. Carion is inclined to look upon his ex-employe’s action in a char- itable manner and attpibutes it to a hal- lucination. MRS. LUX’S ALLOWANCE. The Supreme Court Confirms Her Title to the Monthly Payment. Two Supreme Court decisions were filed yesterday, both having reference to the allowance of $2500 a month awarded to Mrs. Miranda W. Lux after the decease of her husband in 1888. The allowance was ob- jected to by the next of kin, generally re- erred to as the *‘German _heirs,” as being excessively large. Mrs. Lux’s death fur- ther compliicated proceedings in the settle- ment of the estate. Meanwhile the monthly payments of $2500 from the estate have been accumulating and now sum up guite a snug little fortune, as fortunes go in these hard times. Yesterday’s decisions sustain the order of the Superior Court, fixing Mrs, Lux's allowance at.the amount stated, though the judgment is not unanimous, Justices Henshaw and Temple signing a dissent- ing opinion. The accumulation of the de- ceased Mrs, Lux’s pin-money will hence form a portion of her estate, it being sug- gested by the court that her personal rep- resentatives and heirs have, succeeded to her rights. The second decision further confirms the allowance to the widow's estate and sets aside the objection of the German heirs to a final accounting, DEFENDANT RICHARD WILLIAMS AND HIS ATTORNEYS. | DICK WILLIAMS FACES THE LAW, His Trial QCpens in the United States District Court. CHINESE AGAINST HIM. The Ex-Cusfoms Inspector’s Fate in the Hands of Judge and Jury. ACCUSED ON FOUR COUNTS. His Attorneys Contend That He Is Not Guilty of Extortion and Corruption. Richard S. Williams, the ex-Custom- house inspector, accused on four indict- ments with having extorted money from Chinese and assisted in landing Chinese at this port, was placed on trial yesterday in the United States District Court before Judge Morrow. Williams was defended by Lyman I Mowry and T. C. Coogan, while Barclay Henley appeared as special counsel for the prosecution, with Assistant United States Attorney Slessinger assisting him. Treas- ury Agent Moore and United States Mar- shal Barry Baldwin occupied chairs near the prosecuting attorneys. Williams him- self sat at one end of the long table beside his counsel and appeared the least con- cerned man in the courtroom. The morning session and part of the af- ternoon were spent in impaneling a jury, though there was little difficulty in find- ing men who knew nothing about Wil- liams and had no prejudices acainst Chinese as witnesses under oath. Every man examined declared he was willing to analyze the testimony of a Mongolian and place it on an equal footing with that of a Caucasian. The jury chosen to try the case consists of C. 8. Benedict, Joseph Simonson, Henry J. Crocker, J. F. Cun- ingham, H. N. Tilden, August F. Lawton, Oriando Bogart, W. B. Bradford, P. 8, Teller, W. T. Y. Schenck, Benjamin E. Harville and Christian Englebretsen. Barclay Henley, in his opening state- ment, claimed gmt the testimony would show that Williams, while acting as Chinese inspector for the purpose of as- sisting the Collector of the Port in 1895, was guilty of the several acts with which he is charged in the indictments from the United States Grand Jury. The first indictment is that of the land- ing of Ah Moy, a Chinese woman, in No- r, 1895. For $100 it was alleged Wil- liams landed her. The nextcharge is that on Beptember 18 last Williams secured the landing of a Chinese named Wong Ling Choy for a stipulated sum. A third in- dictment accuses the ex-Chinese inspector of entering into another bargain with his Chinese agent, this time to land Ching See Hung for $85. The last accusation is that of landing Wong Quock Flow for $90. In each and every case it is charged the bargain was made and carried out success- fully. "’%bs proof,” added Mr. Henley, *‘will be tc a large extent from the testimony of Chinese, but it will be of such a character that we shall expect of you, 5emlemen of the jury, a verdict of qulty.’ Lyman I. Mowry asked that the indict- ments be taken up oneata time, so that the anry could intelligently follow each in- dividual case. To this the court replied that the testimony would be made appli- cable to each count. The first witness called was John Lynch, for the prosecution. Mr. Lynch is a Chi- nese Inspector in this port. He had known Williams for the past three years. In September and November, 1895, there were five inspectors in the Chinese Bu- rean, and at times extra men were em- ployed by the Collector to assist the bu- reau. “When Inspectors made investigations the 1&ruom.ed reports to the Coliector?” Bai owWry. “Through the head of the bureau,” re- ied the witness. “*An Inapector could not land a Chinese himself?” “No, sir.” “Nor the head of the burean nor any In- ,,,,cwrr 'r‘:‘?‘?m the order of the Collector of the Po: “No, sir. Either the Collector or his chief deynly, Mr. Tobin, should give per- mission.”” Barclay Henley took up the case of Ah Moy, who, the witness said, made appli- cation to the Collector of the Port to be landed. Records of the landing of the four Chinese were introduced in evidence identified by Lynch as the official docu-~ m-r;(t: olf';h:fnmn*ouu. o “Mr. Lyn was there no further evi- dence in the case of Ah Moy?” asked Mowry. “J dop’t know, sir: I presume it is all there.” “Before you file a record in your office all the evidence is there?”. “Yes, sir.” +‘In each ofthese cases?” - “Yes, sir.” “Then in each of these cases the testi- mony is all filed here?” *Yes, sir; it is supposed to be.” “Ah, supposed to be. That’s all,”’ and Mr. Mowry took his seat. Then Mr. Henley questioned the witness to bring out the fact by way of explana- tion that the documents contained all documentary testimony. but did not necessarily include oral testimony. Dong Tang testified that he lived at 737 Washington street when Ah Moy was landed. He knew ber, and came from the same family and province. He was a wit- ness for her when she applied for landing. Two or three davs before the woman was landed he saw Williams with Tong Chee, who is alleged to have paid Williams $100 for passing Ah Moy. Williams and Chee spoke in a low tone, which the witnessdid not hear. “I saw Tong Chee give $100 to Wil- liams,” added the witness. *“This was in the general store of King Lung Chong on Dupont street at 8 p. M., when Chow Sun, the husband of Ah Moy, was present.” The defense contended that as the docu- mentary testimony of the prosecution, in- troduced as official records of the Custom- house, proved that Ah Moy was a citizen of the United States, she having been born in San Jose and taken to Cuina at 8 years of age, there could be no corraption or offense against the laws for landing her. Indeed, as a citizen of the United guzeg she was entitled to the right of landing. The court overruled the objection, and, after some unimportant evidence was taken, adjourned till to-day at 11 . M. THE MAGIC FOOTLIGRTS And the People Who Are Stand- ing in Front of Them the Present Week. Fun - Galore and an Assorted Lot of Attractions of Encugh Kinds to Please All “The Great Unknown” will continue at the Columbia Theater as given by the Frawley Company during the remainder of the week. The long run of this play and the continued attendance has attested to its popularity. It is now announced that the new play,*The Social Trast,” will be put on next Monday evening. The sale of tickets will begin to-day. Chauncey Olcott is in his final week at the California Theater, so that tbe oppor- tunities for hearing him sing lrish songs and ballads now remaining are few. “'Love Remains the Same,” “The Minstrel Boy,” “Roy Darling,” “The Young Rose’ and other songs are sung nightly, incidental to the production of ‘‘The Minstrel of Clare.” “The Gay Parisians” is doing the ban- ner business of the season at the Baldwin Theater. The comedy is certainly the greatest laugh-provoker that bas been sent this way in many moons, and at no time have we been favored with a more clever comedy organization than which is appearing in the piece nightly to crowcfied houses at the Baldwin, where it will be seen for the remainder of this and next week. In ““Madame Sans Gene,” Sardou’s latest European success, the humor of the play consists in the transference of the Duchess ‘of Danzig’s laundry manners to the new imperial court, which Napoleon wishes to make as dignified as possible. The scene of the second and third acts is Napoleon’s library at Compeigne. A very amusing uarrel in the imperial family is enacted. %npoleon orders Mme. Sans Gene to divorced from her husband, as sheisa grace to the court. 1n the last act she re- trieves her position by provingto Napoleon that the Comte de Neipperg, who has been prowling about the court, has no intrigue with the Empress. The ex-washerwoman comes out triumphant. This production comes to the Baldwin after “The Gay Parisians.” The Orpheum continues to do a “land office business’ every evening, furnishing a variety of attractions which are up to the standard established at that house. The list of people embraces Edward Favor and REdith Sinclair, Sydney DeGray, Mildred Howard, T. A. Kennedy, Biondi, the four Nelson sisters and the vaudeville combination. . Every evening this week "Il Trovatore” will be sung at the Tivoli. The attraction is considered to be excellent, judging by the audiences and the applause. The favorite operatic work is well handied by the soloists, chorus and orchestra, and the ensemble is effective and pleasing. Next week “La Traviata,” ‘*‘Cavalle: Rus- ticana” and the balcony and marriage scene from ‘‘Romeo and Juliet,’’ will be given. Crowds witness nightly the performance of *“Ihe Ensizn’ at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house. This is the last week at the Grand of Jgmes M. Bropby, who has a star part in “The Ensign,” in which he has played extensively throughout the East during the past two years. Popular prices, coupled with an attractive play, makes a strong draw.ng card. The Chutes are open every day from 1 to 11 ». ., with performances every evening and Saturday and Sunday matinees. Joe, the ourang-outang, is there. The concerts at the Sutro baths continue every afternoon and ovonlnig. The baths are open from 7 A. 3. until 11°p. M, ———————— 1llegal Detention. R. F.

Expenses Must Be Curtailed at the City and County Hospital. OUT CLINIC TO BE ABOLISHED. Contractor A. E. Buckman's Grading Camp Again Comes Under In- vestigation., Inspector Patten ol the Health Depart- ment struck a popular strain yesterday when he complained at the meeting of the | board of the filthy condition of the corri- | dors and stairways of the New City Hall | and incidentally demanded to know why when $25,000 a year is paid for janitors such a state of affairs exist. g The board, in the capacity of an echo, | answered “why,” and togetsome informa- tion on the subject ordered a copy of the | communication sent to the Board of Su- pervisors. Inspector Patten said that h had not inyestigated the interiors of th offices, but that he had paid some atten- | tion to the corridors and stairways and that the janitors seemed to think that merely throwing water on the floors and sweeping it up was all that was necessary for cleaning purposes. He stated that dust, tobacco juice and other filth were so thick on the railings and stairs as to make them an eyesore as well as a menace to the cleanliness of linen and hands and that the corners of | doorways were never cleaned out. He suggested that the board take some meas- ures to have the hall cleaned thoroughly, at least occasionally. | Dr. Stahle, superintendent of the City and County Hospital, in a communica- tion to. the board, stated that in view of the action of the Board of Supervisors in cutting down the annual appropriation for the hospital from $80,000 to $75,000 it will be necessary to abohish the out clinic and some of the wards, consolidate other wards and limit the number of patients to be cared for at the institution to 800. The matter was referred to the Hospital Com- mitteeand a copy of the communication was ordered sent to the Board of Super- visors. Secretary Godchaux read a letter from the Bareau of Animal Industry at Wash- ington stating that the local representa- tive of the bureau had reported that Miller & Lux had defied his authority in relation to two carcasses of cows that had been found to contain traces of a disease that brought them under the ban of the law. The nrm had declared 1ts intention of doing as it pleased with the beef, the local inspector having no power to order them destroyed. The co-operation of the board in the matter was asked. The communication was placed on file, it being known to the board that Meat In- spector Davis had taken possession of the carcasses and had them removed to the fertilizing works. The Chinese Consul sent in a communi- cation stating that he had notified the Chinése ocgupying the buildings recently condemned by the board to vacate at once and that he wouid be willing to use every means to aid the board in cleansing the Cninese quarter. The matter of A. E. Buckman’s grading camp was taken up, a communication from the German Savings Bank, owner of the property on which the camp is located being read. it stated that Buckman had been ordered to vacate by September 16. Contractor Buckman also sentina let- ter stating that it would cause him a great loss of time and money to move his camp at the present, but he had done everything possible to get the camp into a sanitary condition, and asking the board to recon- sider its action in condemning the place. The matter was leit to the discretion of the Healtn Office. . At the request of the Health Officer a resolution was passed asking the attorney of the board to render an opinion on the liability of the street railroads to keep the streets on which their tracks are laid in repair, and as to their liability to repair streets after they have torn up their tracks. —eeeee ‘Williams Divorce Case.
