An Act of Ingratitude That Has Not Yet Passed From the Memory. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 2. Much interest is expressed here regard- ing ex-Consul Churchill's disappearance from his home in Brooklyn and his wife's Mrs. Churchill was an Oakland girl, and it was in a local newspaper office that Churchill was given his first start in this country. About twelve years ago Churchill drift- ed into Oakland. He was an Englishman South Sea Islands. On his arrival here he was “broke,” but, making the ac- quaintance of some newspapermen, he was given a chance to work on the Trib- une. He had brains, and some of his new friends helped him out with clothes and credit till he got squarely on his feet. He did not show much gratitude to his benefactors, for he broke up a home and ran off with the woman who is now his wife. After this Churchill wrote a book entitled “A Princess of the South: Seas,’ which had a good reception and gained for its author considerable notoriety. Churchill worked on newspapers in the East, and f_t)rBB tlr‘r(\la he was city editor r in Brooklyn. nr;ta\\!:ifip%hfle thus e’mployed that he se- cured the appointment of Consul to Samoa. He stayed with his wife in Oak- jand on his way to the islands, and both went down together. Some surprise was expressed when Mrs. Churchill came back on the first steamer and remained ih friends here till she secured an appoint- ment with the Damrasch Opera Com- Y- DHS‘:\.me months later, a Mrs. Holmes of San Francisco created some sensation by | making a claim to be the contract wife | of Churchill. She produced what pur-| ported to be the necessary documentary | evidence to support her claim and foi warded it all to Senator Perkins, who a sured Mrs. Holmes that he wvould lay the matter before the proper department of | the government. Mrs. Holmes demanded that Churchill be dismissed from his consular appointment, and some months | later he left Samoa, though it is mot known how much Mrs. Holmes' repre- | sentations had to do with his leaving. | Churchill returned to Brooklyn and was | lost sight of to his friends here until the | news was recelved that he had left home | and his wife feared he had ended his life. | His acquaintances do not share the be- | lief that he has committed suicide, and | would not be surprised if he should turn | up on this coast | THE VARSITY WINS AGAIN.

Another Attempt at Fraud 1s to Result in Her Arrest. Strange Antics of & Woman With a Pleasant Tongue and a Ro- mantic Mind. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 2. ‘When Mrs. Maude V. Ballard, or Laura Price, arrives in this city she will be arrested as a vagrant. For some years this young woman has been making a very comfortable llving by being stricken with fits and by making numerous attempts at suicide, but al- ways when a sympathizing crowd is around to lend aid and take up a sub- scription for the unfortunate young woman. At last the young lady has overplayed her hand and word has been sent out from San Bernardino that her case has been investigated and that shé is a fraud. Her escapades began in this city about two years ago, and since then she has “worked” successfully nearly every city on the coast and in the coast States. In Oakland she was arrested as she was trying to get in front of a moving train. She was found | in possession of a plece of rope and said that she intended to hane herself at the first opportunity. She was roy- ally treated by Sheriff White and sent on her way rejoicing. The woman is now on her way north, having been put on the train at River- side and ordered to leave. She tried to drown herself at that place, but Sheriff Johnson suspected her game and or- dered her out of town. The next day the woman, according to advices sent to this city, appearad at San Bernardino, and was suddenly overcome by fits In the center of the city. She vas so violent that it took several men to hold her down. She was taken to the hospital and wanl treated, and several people worked over har for hours to save her life. She recovered, and was sent on her way rejoicing. The next day she was at Redlands, and was so sick that she was given good quarters in a hotel. Next day she | was recognized and sent out of town. It is believed that she will not be leng arriving in this county, and as soon as she does arrest will follow. The young woman is rather attractive, and has a pleasant manner, but it is considered strange that she should work the same places twice, with only a change of names. The woman is not insane, and is possessed of a strong constitution, and it is_believed that she has ac- cumulated some wealth by her trickery. BOARD OF HEALTH.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, April 2.—George W. Hazen is now in the city establishing head- quarters for a new secret service district. Secretary of the Treasury Gage has in- cluded Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana as a division and placed Mr. Hazen in charge. His staff will consist of five or six men. From his office detec- tives will be sent to Alaska to investigate reported counterfeiting, if the occasion demands, Alaska being virtually a part of the new district. The new division will be termed the Seattle district. Heretofore all counterfeiting Investiga- tions necessary in this State have been made by detectlives or speclal secret service men sent from Ban Franclsco, and all complaints regarding the circula- tion of counterfeits were of necessity re- ferred to the headquarters in that city. ‘The larFele' increased volume of money in circulation on Puget Sound since the Alaska rush began rendered it almost im- possible for the San Francisco headquar- ters to attend speedily to all of the cases reported from this section as requiring investigation, and for this reason Secre- tary Gage made the subdivision indicated and located the new district manager at Seattle. Manager Hazen has been in the secret service for about siX years and for about five years past he has held the responsible osition of chief of the District of New York, by far the most important in the United States.

DISABLED SHIP PASSED AT SEA Startling News Reported by the Captain of the Conway. Probable Loss of a Large Ves- sel With Her Entire Crew. Could Not Give Assistance Because of the Storm That Was Raging. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, April 2—A British ship sailing toward the Pacific Coast was seendismantledand indistresssix weeks ago by the British ship Conway, Cap- tain Hume, which arrived ten days ago from Manilla to load wheat. Cap- tain Hume notified the Lloyds on his arrival, but did not make the story public until to-day, on the eve of his departure for Europe. He says that on February 15, during a storm, his sallors sighted a large dismantled iron ship of 1500 to 2000 tons in about longitude 152 west and lati- tude 37 north. At the time a terrific gale raged, making the sea very high, and darkness was approaching. The gale blew the disabled vessel to the windward of the Conway, and Captain Hume was unable to reach her before nightfall. ‘When discovered the strange vessel was about five miles dis- tant. Originally she was a three- masted iron ship. The storm bad car- ried away the rigging, until only the fore lower mast remained standing. Captain Hume, by means of a power- ful glass, made out that she had a white painted port and a large, half- round aft. The Conway had no sooner hove into sight than the disabled ship hoisted her flag and attempted to sig- nal. Captain Hume took the glass into his own hands and watched eagerly to see what message would come from the desolate hulk in the distance. The signaling proved unsuccessful, for be- fore he copld make out what kind of flag was raised it had been torn into fragments by the wind. That there were people on board was evidenced by the raising of the flag, but what condition they were in or who they were are mysteries that only the wind and wave can reveal. During the night the ship was lost to view, and she was not sighted again. Seafaring men who heard Captain Hume's story this morning believe that she has sunk ere this. Without masts and sails she was running aimlessly over. the ocean, with the probabilities in favor of ultimate disaster unless re- lieved by some vessel during a cessa- tion of the windstorm that has raged on the Pacific for weeks. Captain Hume's course in not standing by is considered proper, because his own ship was imperiled by the storm, and the boats could not have lived in the rough seas then prevailing. - Captain Hume believes the vessel to have been a grain ship crossing to the Unitéd States seeking a charter.

Charge That He Assisted Pupils During Examinations Will Be Investigated. STOCKTON, April 2.—The’ case of Pro- fessor Condit, principal of the Home- stead School, charged with trying to raise his pupils’ percentage in an examination by giving beforehand the questions to be asked, was formally brought to the atten- tion of the Board of Education to-day, when the father of one of the puplls filed a communication as folows: “I herein charge Principal Condit of the Grant School with having coached his pupils previous to the examination on the questions in the tests which were submitted by the County Board as the official test for November 17, 1897. I re- spectfully ask your honorable body to in- estigate the charges.” The object of filing the communication was to get the charge officially before the board, which will now be obliged to con- sider it. 1f the charge is sustained Prin- cipal Condit will probably be found guilty of unprofessional conduct and his certi- ficate to teach will be revoked.
