Kane Prefers Charges Against the Prison Matron, The Second Attempt to Have Her Removed From Her Position. | | A petition to the Board of Supervisors ssking for the removal of Mrs. Gilmore from the position of matron of the City Prison is beiug prepared by Frank J. | Kane, Secretary of the Pacific Coast Soci- | afternoon papers are ridiculous. ety for the Suppression of Vice. This is not the first attempt that has been made to remove Mrs, Giimore from her position and it is thought this one will be as use- less as the former proved to be. The petition asserts tbat Mrs. Gilmore has been using her influence against the Magdalen Asylum and in favor of the Girls’ Training Home and also that she has been guilty of theft in at least one in- stance. Mrs, Giimore emphatically denies that she has taken anything from the prison- ers under her charge, and further makes a few charges herself which will evidently not be overiooked if she comes before the Supervisors. Petty spite, it is claimed by her, is the reason for attemp!s to have her removed from ner nosition, but according to her statements she is ready and anxious for a thorougn investigation of her ac- tions and hopes the true status of the case will be placed before the public. Mrs. Gilmore said last evening: “Iam unable to see why Mr. Kune snould ai- tempt to have me removed from a place I have solong and faithfuliy filled. I am under the impression, however, that he is merely a tool for others, who wish 10 see me removed and have no reason forso wishing except that jt is claimed I have been here-too long. Tne charges in tue I believe that Captain Robinson of the police force is causing the trouble, and I mean to have this matter siited myself, now that it has gone so far. ““I'ois1s not the first time an attempt has been made to have me removed, but no attention was paid by the Supervisors to former charges, and as I am still per- forming my duty in a conscientious man- ner I can see no reason why other charges will not be dismissed as well. “I do not believe that any affiaavits bave been procured irom the girls who were formerly under my charge. 1i so they are false and I can prove them so. The siatement made by Ada Nelson is enlarged to a great extent. I have told girls who left for the Magdslen Asylum that they should behave themselves or they would bs punisied, but this was told merely as advice. I have not tried to frighten them in the least. “Tue alleged statement from Kittie McGrath that T was guilty of theft must nave been given, if given at ail, while the zirl was under the influence ot some per- son who is determined to nave me re- moved from my place. The truth. of the matter 1s tha. Kitile was in love with a waiter. Her lover had given he: a silver spoon and a dismond breastpin. “She was anxious that her mother stould not know where Lhe presentscame from, so she asked me if I would keep them until she was released next January. I consented, and the pin is the only jewelry I have belonging to any one who has been under my charge. I have kept it, and intend to doso until the girl comes herself after her release and asks for it. “The statement made that [ asked for clothes for my daughter was infamous and a slanderous statement to help re- move me; but I am notafraid of inves:iga- tion and hope ihe matter will be sifted to the bottom. If this is done I will be vin- dicated and others will wish they had not spoken.” Their Minds Deranged. Mrs. Hannah Davis, a ward of RabbiJacob Voorsanger, was committed to the Napa Insane Asylum yesterday. She was until re- ceatly in a private institution at Livermore. Ehe imagines that an_order has been made by the Government sending all the Jewish people to_Germany. s Mrs. B. Delaney was committed to the same asylum from tne City anu County Hospital, where she hed been a patient for s:veral weeks. ——————— Doble Mentally Incapucitated. Dr. Cogswell filed a petition in the Probate Court yesterday asking to have Abner Doble removed as one ol the trustees of the Cogs- well Polytechnical College, situated on the corner ol Foisom and Twenty-sixih sireets. Itis alleged th t Doble, by Teison of injuries received several months ago, is now of un- sound mind and that he is unable to longer attend to his duties as trustee. INTERNES MAY NOT BE HEARD Health Board Will Not Listen to Discharged Employes. Dr, Hart Says They Are Not Entitled to Any Appeal , Tt seems probable that the internes of the City and County Hospital, who were recently dismissed ostensibiy because of insubordination, but really because they gave out information to the papers re- garding occurrences at the institution, wiil be denied a hearing by the Board of Health and will be compelled to rest under the stigma of having been sus- pended for cause. The ousted internes, Drs. MacMahon, Dunne and Rea, have asked members of the board, as individuals, to give them a hearing 2nd an opporiunity to clear them- selves if possible. The physicians who comprise the board declare that as long as they have placed Dr. Sussdorf in control of the hospital his authority should be supreme and that they do not care to reopen the matter, but advise the young doctors to try and seitie mutters with the superintendent. They hint at different charges the phy- sician in charge of the hospital has made against them, and when told that perhaps the doctors who iiave been suspended can prove that they are not true, reply: “Well, the superintendent said so and he 1s supreme.” Dr. H. H. Hart speaking about the sus- pension saia: **As an individual member of the Board of Health I donot think that the suspsnded internes should have any right to appeal 10 the board. “I moreover think that the position Dr. Sussdor: or any superintendent of any place takes should be sustained by those over him. I hardly think, however, that the doctor suspended these three you physicians for giving notes of interest to the papers; there are many other and graver reasons. But as I said before, I shall oppose an appeal to this body of which I am a member.” Drs. MacMahon, Dunne and Rea do not intend to be thrown out ot their positions in this unceremonious manner, and in- tend 1o fight it to the end and if necessary they will bring itinto the courts, but be- fore they do this they will make a formal appeal to tne board for a hearing. Death of I. M. Van Blarcon. Isaac M. Van Blarcon came out of the Pein Brothers’ saloon, corner of Ellis and Powell streets, at 4:30 o’clock yesterday morning, He staggered as he came out of the door an feei to the sidewalk, striking his head againg the edge of a marble slab on the corner of ti building.
