Her s one of the strangest extant as it told by several persons who have knowl- e of its severzl phases. The belief of at least three persons who came in contact with her is that she became a maniac lely by baving her two children torn lently away from her and finding her- ed plea. es in ed the society, and at once became greatly excited. She cried, beseeched that she and her little ones might not be parted, | and even threatened to kill them and her- self rather than to submit to such separa- tion. What conversation took place between Secretary Welch and berself is not learned, but there is no doubt about what happened to Mrs. Bueter. She was taken out to the City Prison, where she was booked, as tappears on the police records, at 5:30 P. M. The charge made against her is cruelty to cnildren, the comvlainants being C. P. Welch, the secretary of the | Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and Officer Callinan. Her chil- dren went with her to the City Prison and there they were taken from her. From | that time to the present she has not seen them. Tuesday morning she was sent to the asylum at Agnews, cherishing the delusion that the children had been burned, and begging Mrs. Kane, the matron of the Receiving Hospital, to see that they were buried. From P. M. on Friday until 9:20 Saturday night Mrs. Bueter occupled a cell in the prison. Sister Julia, who had learned of the case, with Mrs, John Pettee visited the prison. and upon a statement of the facts Mrs. Bueter was transferred to the Receiving Hospital. There she re- mained uatil she was taken away to Ag- news. While there she was visited by Mrs. John Petreau and her sister, two ladies who knew her well, and whoduring many months_had befriended her; also by Mrs. John Pettee and Sister Julia. She begged them all to bring her children to her, but one cause and another prevented. She went away firmly believing that since they had been taken from her they had died. The weight of that grief is upon her as she raves and calls for them at Agnews. Very likely this may prove to be a cause celebre, because it forcibly presents to view the great powers which are reposed in an officer not elected by the State, who is able to judge and to execute his indi- vidual judgment singly and alone, with- out sworn testimony or judicial hearing, whether mothers shall be separatea from children of very tender years, and young children from mothers. The disastrous result of this case will be long remem- bered as an example of what might hap- pen many times. Careful investigation into all the facts leads to the discovery tkatonly two causes are assigned by any one who came in con- tact with Mrs, Bueter for her sudden vio- lent insanity. Secretary Weich of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children expresses the belief that Mrs. | Bueter's insanity was occasioned by the | fact that she had been definitely and finally refused aid by the Associated | Charities of the City, and that when he declined to give her any aid, which was what she sought, she thougnt that she was “at the end of her rope,” as he ex- presses it, and =0 became frantic. Secretary Welch was interviewed yes- terday, and the story be told concerning Mrs. Bueter is given herewith: “She came in here with her children and asked for help. I telephoned to Mrs. Flint at the Associated Charities, and from her learned thai she had refused io approve of an order which the Chronicle had given ner and which had to be approved by Mrs. Flint to enable her to get the order fill I do not know how she got the idea that her children might be taken away; but when she heard me speak of Mrs. Flint’s name she at once began to scream out not to take her chiidren away. “She prayed and screamed and ran to a window as if to throw herself out, but [ was not afraid that she would do that. I knew that she would not, in fact. As to the comolaing, I do not know wko first made it, but Mrs. John Pettee, who is now talking about this matter, made a com- plaint. No, 1do not know that the com- plaint was for cruelty to chlldren, for the complaint has not been written out in the book.” Secretary Welch showed the book with the entry referred to, but there was no *But what did the cruelty to children consist 0f 2" was asked. “Why,” answered the secretary, ‘‘that consisted in dragging these little children around _with her to the charitable so- cieties.” ‘The books at the offices of the Asso- ciated Charities on Commercial street demonstrates very clearly that Secretary Welch was _mistaken when he asserted that Mrs. Flint had declined to recom- mend to the Chronicle Bureau that aid should be given to Mrs. Bueter. As a matter of fact Mrs. Bueter received an order from the Associated Charities on the Chronicle Thursday for provisions, the day before she appeared at the office of the Society for the Pievention of Cruelty to Children. Therefore, he iqurohnbly mistaken in believing that Mrs. Bueter, at the time she had her interview with him, thought that the Associated Charities had decided not to help her any more. It was denied positively at the Associated Charities that any suggestion for the sep- aration of Mrs. Bueter from her children had originated thers. Mrs. Kane, matron of the City Receiving Hospital, said yesterday that aiter Mrs. Bueter was removed from a City Prison cell to the hospital, she was certainly in- sane. While Mrs. Bueter was in the Receiving Hospital two ladies called to see her, besides Mrs. Pettee and Sister Julia, and said that they bad known Mrs. Bueter for one year, and they would not believe that she could be insane. They said that she had always been very quief. The ladies were probabiy Mrs. Petreau and her sister. They expressed the opinion that separation from her children had driven Mrs. Bueter to insanity. Mrs. Petrean made the same statement to Sister Julia yesterday. Mrs. John Pettee, speaking of the case Monday night, said that she considered the arresc of Mrs. Bueter outrageous on such a charge as crueltv to children, be- cause she bad previously met Mrs. Bueter and had found her to be kind to her chil- dren. She had helped Mrs. Bueter out of her own pocket and had visited her in prison. These facts probably indicate that Secretary Welch is mistaken in think- ing that Mrs. Pettee has made charges against Mrs. Bueter. Mrs. Bueter's two children were yester- day given into the guardianskip of Sister Julia and yesierday afternoon they were jound at the Sheltering Arms on Harri- son street, where they will make their home for the present. The older child, little Ida, spoke several times of her mother. The younger can speak very little. They are plump, well fed and healthy children, fully ¢qual in these re- spects to any children. They do not look as if they had been abused or the subject of any cruelty. The pictures of the little ones as sketched by a CALL artist were made while the children contentedly complaint set forth in that connection. munched bread and butter. ’ IDA EUETNER, at Sister Julia’s Home.

[ “Because it might criminate myself,” | said Healey. The Judge asked bim if any one had been talking to him about the case,and he replied in the negative. Reynolds tried him again, but in an- swer to the question as to who shot him he said he did not know. Headmitied that Davis was with him at the time and another mnan, and finally said that Davis had said, “'I shot von,” but he did not know himself who did it. “You don’t want to vrosccute this man?” said the Judge, pointing to Davis. “No, I don’t,” repl i Nothing further could be got out of him, snd he was asked to sign the recog- nizance, but he positively reiused todo so.

Carl Smith, steward of the ship Oth- marschen, lying at Fourth-street wharf, swore to a complamt in Judge Joachim- sen's court yesterday, charging Harry Hansen, keeper of a sailors’ boarding- | house at 17 Vallejo street, with battery. Smith had been boarding at Haneen's anplece d Hansen got him the position of steward of the Othmarschen about two. weeks ago. Smith had never been ona German vesse! before and he decided not to continue longer as sieward of the Oth- marschen.

He demanded $10 from Smith for procuring him the posi-ion. but Smith rzfused and offered him $7. Then Hansen knocked Smith down with a club and kicked him on the face. Smith was taken to the Receiving Hospital and ‘had & wound on his scalp and another on his left cheek stitched and dressed. ————— Closing Up the Hendy Estate. The final account of Samuel J.

The votes of fifteen precincts in the Thirty-s xth Assembly District were re- counted yesterday in the contest for Aua- itorship between William A. Deane and Wilham Broderick. Only a few minor error« were noted, a8 majority of them be- ing due to difference of opinion in regard to the counting of ballots or to clerical mistakes. ‘Tlie result of yesterday’s recount was as follows: Precinet 6 — Broderick gained 1; 7—No change; change; 9— Deane gained 1: 10—No ‘change; 11—Bro fer- ick gained 2, Deane lost 1; 12—Rroderick 3-Bro erick gained 1, Dean lost 1, Deane ® Broderick gained 1; D change; 18—Nochange; 19—Broderick 4, Doane gained 1; 20—No change. Up to t e present Mr. Broderick has gained nine votes by the recount. There was a rumor that Mr. Deane in- tended to abandon the contest, but both he and his attorney, W. H. Schooler, de- nied that there is at present any such in- tention, so the case will go on as usual this morning. A New Sowerage System. The very important question of providing a new sewerage sysiem for San Francisoco witl be one of the questions for discussion at the quarterly meeting of the Merchants’ Associa- ton at Acadeny of Sciences’ Hall, this even- ing. Itisexpected that there wiil be an in- teresting devate upon this subject and that the conclusions reached will result in the most desirable and feasible plans for improv- ing and reconstructing the soweruge system of this City. The public generaily is invited to attend the meeting and take part in the dis- cussion. . They Passed Bad Money. William Ellis and Thomas J. Johnson were examined before United States Commirsioner Heacock and held for passing counterfeit money. Several days ago they entered a saloon in the Mission and paid for their drinks in counterfeit money. The poiice were called in and found upon searching the men that they had considerable other bad money in their possession. The prisoners were turned over to the United States authorities for ine vestigation and trial. WILL NOT FIGHT THE BICYCLE BILL Southern Pacific Will Per: mit It to Pass the Legislature. Carrying All Bicycles Freg of Charge Throughout Cali- fornia. But When the State Line Is Reached the Railroad Company Wil Have Its H-at. From a statement dropped by a mem- ber of the legal department of the South- ern Pacific Railroad yesterday the wheel- men of California and San Francisco need not be-uneasy concerning the bicycle bag- gage bill to be introduced in the Legisla- ture ihis winter. The billis patterned after the ‘‘Armstrong’ baggaze bill which has been presented to the Legislatures of New York and Onio and is new a law in those States. The railroad company has entirely changed front in regard to the matter, since it rescinded an order collect- ing a charge on bicycles last fall, subse- quent to a very outspoken opposition to the order as expressed by wheelmen in THE CALL. A member of the legal department of the Southern Pacific Railroad said yester- day afterncon that it had been decided not co fight the bill in the Legislature. The company may go even further and provide special accommodations in bag- gage-cars for bicycles. Subsequent to the rescinding of the or- der which raised so much commotion last fall among wheelmen the railroad com- pany has practically been carrying bicy- cles free within the State. An order was issued to carry them free within a radius of fifty miles of substantially all principal points, ;For instance, § bicycles are so carried without charge at Los Angeles and vicinuy, at San Jose, at Sacramento, and so on. The circnits of Sacramento and Ban Francisco overlap so that bicycles are carried free of charge a distance of nearly 100 miles to the capital city. This eir- cumstance is said to be tne case in other sections of the State, so that bicycles practically go as ba, gage and free of charge in Cali fornia. The declaration s a representa- tive of the company that the bill would not be fought in the Legislature is a great victory for the wheelmen of the State, with their 20,000 votes, and will doubtless be zood news to them. But the ardent cyclist will not have everything his own way. His wheel can go anywhere in the State without a trans- portation tax, but when it comes to going outof the State then is when the com- pany will come in et the finish. The interstate commerce law interferes at the State line in favor of the railroad, and it is there that the railroad company will get even. This situation will falt heaviest on the professional wheelman and on the owners of wheels going on a t:ip or visit into another State. A bicycle is free bag- gage tillit gets to the State line, then it'is subject to charge. The cycle clubs of San Francisco have a representation at Sacramento, and there are, also, 50 many wheelmen in the capi- tul city that it is safe to say considerable vigilance will be exercised till the bill has passed. WIDOW MORTCN MAYSTAY Grand Army Veterans Will Not See Her Only Shelter Torn Down. Aged Mother and Invalid Daughter Made Homeless by Order of the Supervisors. The pathetic story of the aged mother whose only sheltér from the elements has been ordered torn down by the Board of Supervisors has its sequel now inan ef- fort that is being made by war veterans to help the widow in her hour of greatest need of kindly friends. The story, as first published in Tre Cary last Bunday, relates how a hard- ship was unintentionally imposed by the City fathers who signed an order for the removal within ten days from last Satur- day of a building upon a part of Fremont street near Bryant thatis not and never has been a thoroughfare becuuse of a hill that naturally obstructs the end of the street. ex-Supervisor wishes to use that litile bit of street to pile lumber during the erection of a prospective box factory on a neighboring lot. The poor little two-story building is on the public street up near a steep bluff and practically out of the way. It has been there for fourteen years. It is the only home of Mrs. Eilen Norton,a widow 70 years of age, who lives there with ber in- valid daughter. She has been a widow for over seven years, but in all that time, though,.not in enviable circumstances, she has never once appliea for aid to the Grand Army of the Repubiic or to Gar- field Post of this City, of which her hus- band ‘was a respected member. Generai E. 8. Salomon has interested himself in the case and with him are asso- ciated members of Garfieid Post, who are eager to help the widow of their former comrade. A committee will call upon the new Board of Supervisors this forenoon and endeavor to have the board grant the widow sufficient time for her new-found friends to provide some place for her to live. Jf she be comvpelled to vacate ac- cording to tihe order she bas no place in the world to go, except, perhaps, to the big institution over the hill, and there the Grand Army men will not see her forced to gratify the commercial wish of a cap- italist. STOOKHOLDERS' MEETING. 01d Board of Directors of the Spring Valley Re-eiected. The annual meeiing of the stockholders of the Spring Valley Water Works was held yesterday at noon, and the old board of directors was unanimously electcd to serve again tor 1897. The meeting was more largely attended by stockholders than has ever been the case before. The reports of the president, Charies W. Howard, and of Secretary P. W. Ames were read and adonted. No'business of ublic interest was transacted. Tbe num- ger of shares represented at the meeting was 88,140. The number of shares now outstanding is 128,000. The d.rectors re-elected are: Charles Webb Howard, A. H. Payson, G. W. B-aver, 8. C. Bigelow, Charles R. Bishop, A. Borel, H. 8. King. The Pacific Scandinavign. One of the most llt‘rleflvu New Y 's papers Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. issued in this City is the Pacific Scandina- vian, the oldesi Danish-Norwegian paper west of the Rockies. It is no less than ten years old and is runuing under new manage- ment, Messrs. Salomon & Morch having as- sumed control. In respect of typographical appearance, pictures, ctc., the New Year's issue leaves nothing to be desired and the text contains news and ' general information such as cannot fail to interest all tastes, Under such auspices the Pacific Scandinavian Wil assuredly commend itself to alisubseribers and may justly be proud of its enterprise in pub- lishing the present oliday number.
