THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1896. A HOUSE THAT WAS STOLEN Enterprising Boys Did Contractor’s Work for Him. NEIGHBORS ARE DAZED. At Dark Ehe Dwelling Was There, and at Daylight It Was Gone. NOT A STICK LEFT STANDING. Residents About the Corner of Larkin and Greenwich Streets Hear Strange Noises. Residents of the section about the junec- tion of Greenwich and Larkin streets whose windows look out on the southwest corner of the thoroughfares mentioned rubbed their eyes when tkey first tooka peep at the weather yesterday morning and then looked again to see that they were not dreaming. A lot that at dark Monday night had ned a substantial story and a half ng-house was empty. There was nothing but broken foundations and a few viles of broken plaster to show where the structure had stood. While the matter was being talked of in the neighborhood five teams of horses drawing heavy lumber wagons containing ropes, pulleys and a gang of workmen drove up and the same look of astonish- ment that had overspread the faces of the neighbors was apparent on their counte- nances. They left after contemplating the place a while and assuring themselves that the lot was the one they had been looking for. An hour later an excited man drove up ina buggy, looked at the barren place where the building had stood, said a few words more forcible than elegant, made a few inquiries and then left in disgust. During these visits the boys of the neighborhood stood and looked™ wise and innocent, and only exchanged grins when the visitors were out of sight. The key of the mysterious disappear- ance of the dwelling was that it had been stolen piecemeal to the last timber during the hours between 9 o'clock on Monday evening and 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and many a family in_the neighborhood will revel in free wood .and kindling for months to come. The building belongzed to a wealthy young woman named Miss Loveland, who lives in Alameda. Some time ago she was notified by the Board of Health, on the report of the inspector, that she must improve the sanitation of the place, the plumbing not being of the most modern kind. Miss Loveland did not wait, as the owners of Chinatown buildings did, unul the board took the matter in a serious light, but at once decided that it would be cheaper to_tear down the building, and the accordingly notified her tenants, a family named Duffy, to be out by the 1st inst. Then the agents were instructed to sell the building to be removed. The firm of contractors that secured the dweliin, began work on Monday, and by night ha taken away a portion of the roof, The lads about the neighborhood, ever on the lookout for stray bits of lumber suitable for firewood, looked on with long- ing eyes. The men left about 5 o’clock, taking with them in wagons the lumber that had been removed, intending to finish the demolition the next day, but they never saw another stick of the timber that had been used in the construction of that house. Shortly after dark boys with ropes in their hands and under their coats began to gather in the neighborbood, and by 9 o'clock a big crowd had gathered. Then, as if by a prearranged plan, an attack was made on the place that only ceased when the last lath ahd weatherboarding had been hidden away for the winter's supply of kindling, Many of the neighbors heard the racket as the boards were torn noisily from the rafters or when the heavy beams fell with a crash, but experience has taught them that in that locality it is as well to eay nothing and look wise, unless your own property be attacked, and they said never a word, even when the Joud voices of the boys as they fought over choice bits of lumber kept them awake until 3 o’clock. The gang that first began opera- tions on the house did not number over twenty to twenty-five members, but the newsof the raid spread until men and boys from several blocks distant joined in the loot and the crack of breaking boards became almost continuous. Thus it was that wuen the contractor's employes returned yesterday they found their occupation gone and not even a lath in sight. ‘What the blue-coated guardian of the Ee“e whose beat covers that neighbor- ocod was doing while the house was be- ing wrecked and carted ‘away has not as yet developed, but it is presumed that he must have had an engagement ‘in some portion of his domain that destroyed hLis sense of hearing. CHOKED UP WITH SAND. Richmond Folks Complain of Obstructed Streets and Cesspools. Various Matters of Interest Considered by the Point Lobos Improve. ment Club A large attendance was present at last night's meeting of tbe Point Lobos Im- provement Club, held in Crosthwaite's Hall, on Fifth avenue, The drifting-sand comm .tee reported that Twenty-fourth avenu' between A and B streets, was utterly choked with sand, in some places to a depth of thirty- five feet. The condition of the avenue had been reported to the Board of Super- visors, and the work of regrading the thoroughfare had been committed by the board to & contractor named Tuttle, It was decided that a communication on the subject shonid be addressed by the club to the Board of Bupervisors, requesting the immediate fulfillment of the contract. Dr. Wolf reported that an electric light was sadly needed at the intersection of Fourth and Point Lobos avenues. [t was considered advisable to defer action in the matter until after the com'ng meeting of the Board of Supervisors, when the Street- lighting Committee will know whether it can count with sufficient funds for the viscing of additiona! lights. The secretary was instructed to com- municate with the Bupervisorsin relation © a number of cesspools which have been tendered useless by reason of their Leing ntirely choked up with sand. It wasalso decided that the Su sors and Park Commissioners should be asked to procure the removal of unused car-tracks on Point Lobos avenue, west of First. A communication was ordered sent to the respective principals protesting against a practice suid to prevail in the Richmond and Point Lobos schools whereby children are obliged to be in school at 8:45 o’clock in the morning, in Emce of nine, the pupils being marked a alf-day absent in case they arrive at school later than the first-named hour. CALLED ON THE POLICE The Board of Health Has Asked Every Patrolman to Act as a Health Inspector. Having been defeated in its efforts to Pprocure an appropristion sufficient to em- ploy new inspectors, the Board of Health has decided to bring into play a regula- tion of the Board of Supervisors which savs that ‘‘every regular and special police officer having a regular beat shall be an ex-officio health inspector,’”” and has ad- dressed the Board of Police Commis- sioners the following letter on the subject: Gentlemen: The Board of Health of this City desires to express its obligation to your honor- able body and its thorough appreciation of the eflicient services rendered by the Police Department in the matter of securing and in- creasing the public heelth of this City. Inasmuch as there sre only six regular health inspectors, a pumber utterly inade- quate for a city seven miles equare, and inas- much as by order 1601 of the Board of Super- visors “every regular and special policeofficer Taving & regular beat shall be ex-officio health ingpector,” " the board requests your aid and co-operation in making & house to house in- spection of every building and structure and of all premises and portions of this City, with a view of determining every building, Struct- ure, premise or part of the City which is in an unsanitary condition, menaces the health or life of its inhabitants. Should your honoroble body co-operate with this board we will furnish all neceseary blanks and instructions for the proper and eficient accomplishment of a thorough inspection of the City, We are, dear sirs, yours very truly, THE BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. I THE INTEREST 0 B0S Creditable Work During the Half Year of the Youths’ Directory. Elcquent Statement Submitted by Secretary Kane to Rev. Father D. 0. Crowley. The semi-annual report of the Youths' Directory for the period commencing March 1and ending August 31, 1896, has been filed with Rev. Father D. O. Crowley by Secretary F.J. Kane. Following the report is a statement issued by Father Crowley, which shows that the highest number of boys ever entertained by the directory during one twelvemonth was about 525. “already in the current vear, with six months of it yet to run, we have lodged 267 children. Allowing the same number for the latter halfof the year the total should mount up to 534 But in the winter months we receive a greater num- ber than in the warmer seascn, and be- tween September 1, 1896, and March 1, 1897, we siall probubly be obliged to find beds and food for 300 boys. “These figures are silent in regard to the many for whom we bave obtained shelter in other 1nstitutions. Our capacity is limited, and until we can build a larger home we must stand still. We trust our need of more room will not long remain unsupplied.” In detail Secretary Kane’s repo:rt is as follows: To Rev. D. 0. Crowley—REV.

The Ex-Inspector Is faid to Pe Ready to Tell What He Knows. Former Attorneys Dismissed and the Case Placed in the Hands of Gzorge Collins. Dick Wiiliams, convicted six days ago on two counts of extortion, is chafing under the confinement to which he is now subjected at the County Jail. In fact, the ex-inspector seems to be on the eve of telling all that he knows, though just how far this reaches can as yet ouly be sur- mised. The first step taken in this direction was the discharge on Monday last of his attorneys, Mowry and Coogan. He told these gentlemen that their ser- vices were no longer required, for the pre- sumed reason that they had failed to se- cure an acquittal or even a mistrial. On the other hand the statement is made that Mowry and Coogan were employed by outside parties to defend Williams and tuat since the conviction of the latter these unknown friends refuse to putup any more coin in the shape of attcrneys’ fees. It matters little, however, which state- ment be correct, for the fact still remains that Mowry and Cooran have been re- placed by “Attorney George D. Collins. This last named geutleman, it may be re- marked, bas ail along been Williams’ at- torney in the divorce proceedings racently instituted by his wife. “I have only one criticism to make,” said Collins yesterday, “‘and that concerns the rulings of the Judge. Of course I will take an appeal, and in time secure an ac- quittal for my client. “Williams, so far as I know, has no con- fession to make, at least he will never make one with my consent. 1If he thinks, however, 1t is to his interest to make any concession to the Government he will do S0 on his own resporsibility. He might and probably does know a great deal, but so far as I can s e that has nothinz to do with his case. What he expects to accom. plish by bringing others into the affair I do not at pre<ent see.” Mrs. Wiliiams has also thought it pru- dent to make a change in legal advisers. Attorney Lawrence has been put out in the cold and Attorneys Dunn and McPike will represent the ex-inspector’s wife in the divorce proceedings, which coine up for final hearing next Thursday. —————— There are now, it is computed, over 250.- 000 words in the English language, or about 70,000 more than in the German, French, Spanish ana Italian languages combined NEW TO-DAY. “If it had not been for this one error I should be a sound, healthy man to-day, instead of a_wreck, physically and men- tally.” This three months ago from a man who writes: ‘“My troubles are over.
