Cameron of the Presbyterian Mis- ohje kion, went to. District Attorney Foote's office. Moore told Foote that two of the captured women claimed to have been born in San Francisco and had never been put of the State. Moore admitted that he id no evidence against them. Foote re- plied that ui r the circumstances all he could do would be to enter a nolle pros In their cases, to which Moore answered | that anything Foote did would be satls- factory to them. This was done . and Moore then told the reporters that Foote had turned two of the women loose and insinuated that there was something crooked in the affair. When A. H. Yordl, he women, saw that he took District Attorney to task for dismiss- | the cases without consulting him, roth over the imputation and the reporters all about Moore's du- ity. Something like a year and a half ago DeWitt C. Jackson, now a resident of oklyn, N. Y., was a special deputy under Moore. Somebody preferred charges of dereliction of duty against Jackson. | Moore wrote to the Secretary of the | sury stating that there was no truth | atever in the charges. He showed the letter to Jackson and then sent it to| Washington. A day or two later Moore wrote another letter stating that he was | convinced the charges were true and se- | cretly mailed it to the Secretary. Both letters were on file_in the department und will be used at Moore's trial as fur- ther proof of his duplicity. There is also on file in the Treasury De- artment a_communication from B. E. Meredith, chief of the Chinese Bureau, charging’ that he accused Major Moore with having secretly given certain infor- mation to the press and that Moore re- | plied that the reporters “had him in a | corner” and he was forced to tell them what he knew. One of the major's love affairs that promises to be fully ventilated with the others is that in which the putative wife of Foss, the smuggler, was the reciplent attentions for ‘g long time- after Foss was sent to San Quentin. It is al- leged that Moore, who was active in the prosecution of the Foss-Ciprico gang, was possessed of considerable evidenas against the woman, but instead of having | her placed on_trial, he lavished his at- tentions upon her to such an extent that the couple became the subject of com- mon gossip around the Federal bullding.

The husband is Willlam J. Martin, a barkeeper, at present out of employ- ment. He and his wife separated about two weeks ago, and she engag- ed a room at 119 Ninth street. Mar- tin had been writing her urging her to return to him, but she paid no at- tention to his letters. On Tuesday she received a note from him to meet him in a room in the St. David's House, and she went, determined that it would be the last interview she would have with him. The interview was not a pleasant one, and she put an end to It as soon as possible, telling him to go his way and she would go hers. Martin refused to allow her to go out of his sight, and followed her home. He threat- ened that if she persisted in not li ing with him he would Kkill her. She was afrald of him, and temporarily gave In to his demands. Yesterday morning she wanted him to get up and provide breakfast for her. He used an offensive term, and turned his back to her, pretending that he was going to sleep again. She was seized with a desire to teach him a lesson, and, pro- curing a revolver, placed the muzzle behind his left ear and fired three shots In rapid succession. Alarmed at what she had done, she rushed out of the room and went to the grocery underneath the lodging- house. A telephone message was sent to the Southern police statfon, ana Policemen McQuade and Kinch were sent to Investigate. They found Mrs. Martin in the grocery, and she admit- ted that she had fired the shots at her husband. She asked them to allow her to go upstairs for her coat and hat, and they went up with her. Mar- tin opened the door to admit them, and when the officers saw blood oozing from a wound behind his left ear they rang for the patrol wagon and had him conveyed to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Rinne found that only one bullet had taken effect, and it had entered the mastoid process of the temporal bone and inflicted a painful but not dangerous wound. Martin was so nerv- ous that no attempt was made to ex- tract the bullet. His ear and hair were powder marked. Mrs. Martin was taken to the City Prison and a charge of assault to mur- der was booked against her. She is a pleasant-faced woman about 27 years of age. Her first inquiry was as to the nature of her husband's wound, and when told that it was not dangerous she said: “I am so glad, as I only did it to scare him. After six years of married life I was forced to leave him owing to his cruel treatment. When he got intoxicated, which was very often, he would abuse me shamefullv, I have been a good wife to him and I love him now better than any other man in the world. He threatened to kill me last night and I was afraid he would carry out his threat. It was therefore his life or mine.” She would not admit that jealousy had anything to dp with the shooting. Martin did everything he could to shield his wife. He said he was asleep -FIRED BEHIND HIS EAR. The Marital Troubles of William J.

A letter was also found from his wife, dated November 30, in which she refgrred to their separation and his intention to leave the city. She reiterated her love for hHim and chided for his cruel treatment of her. She accused him on more fhan one occa- Friends of Martin say that he will Ruddell to pay the bill.

Services in All the Catholic Churches Throughout the City—History of the Devotion. The annual feast of the Immaculate Conception will be solemnly commemorat- ed to-day In the Catholic churches throughout the eity. Masses will be cele- brated as on Sundays and the day will be one of strict obligation. At St. Mary’s Cathedral the first mass will be said at 6 o'clock in the morning and the last at 10:30 o’clock, which will be solemn high in form. In the evening benediction and the rosary will constitute the religious service and conclude the solemnities of the day. At St. Ignatius Church, in addition to the regular service by the congregation, special exercises in honor of the feast will the Gentle- men’'s Sodality and other organizations of the church in their respective assembly halls In the basement of the church build- ing on Hayes street. he annual celebration of this divine prerogative granted the Virgin has be- come general throughout the entire world Wwhere the principles of Christianity exist. The history of the devotion is both inter- esting and instructive. It is taught in the church that in _order to bring forth the Redeemer the Virgin must have had a prerogative stuperior to humanity. It is contended that the Soverei~n Judge must have suspended the general effect of his re law in favor of her who came Into the world for no other purpose than to contribute to the accomplishment of the most secret, most incomprehensible of the works of God—the {ncarnation of the Messiah. Notwithstanding the silence of the gospel, it has been generally believed that the Virgin, with a view to her divine maternity, was held back, as it were, on the brink of the abyss which the fatal disobedience of our first parents opened under our feet, and that her conception was as immaculate as her life. This_bellef, which the Greeks borrowed from Palestine, and adopted with enthusi- asm, led to the institution of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, which was celebrated at Comstantinople as early as the sixth century. William the Conqueror established the feast in Normandy as early as 1074, From Normandy its observ- ance passed over to the En%lsh, The first council of Oxford, held b: tephen Lang- ton, Archbishop of Canterbury, in_the year 1222, places It in the number of holi- days of obligation. 3 In France in the year 1288 a Bishop of Paris, Renoul de Hombiere, left a consid- erable sum to found the office of this Feast of the Virgin, which was introduced at the same time in the territory of Lyons. A manuscript of martyrology of the thir- teenth century, found in the libr: of the Dominicans of Dijon, marks the feast of the conception gqn the 8th of December, which shows conclusively that in the time of St. Dominlc it was almost universally celebrated in the church. Devotion to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin was popular in Western Eu- rope from the middle ages, but it is main- tained that Spain has shown the greatest zeal and ardor in the propagation of this doctrine. The Spanish nation professes to have celebrated it in the early part of the seventh century. In 1394 Don John I of Aragon instituted it. He claims, however, that his predecessors had celebrated the feast Ion§ before him. In England and France the Feast of | Mary was called the Feast of the Nor- mans. As early as the year 15% the Span- jards in Mexico erected the splendid Cathedral of Puebla de Los Angeles under the invocation of the Immaculate Virgin. e JOY IN SUNSET VALLEY. The Favored Section to Be Provided With Water and Fire Pro- tection. The determination of the Sunset Valley Improvement Club to obtain from the Supervisors both a water supply for do- mestic use and also protection against fire has at last been rewarded. The board on last Monday instructed Clerk Russell to advertise for bids for the erec- tion of an engine house on Tenth avenue. between I and J streets. As soon as the house is built a combination chemical en- gine and hose cart will be housed there, This is precisely what the members of the improvement club had been contend- ing for during the past two years and now, having obtained it, they, with the residents and property owners of the Sun- set Valley, are filled with joy. Added to this much-needed fire protec: tion and with the view of rendering every safeguard for the protection of the dwell- ings fifty-six hydrants will be distributed throughout the valley. To meet all re- quirements in this direction the Spring Valley Water Company has been notified to run mains through all of the graded streets In the Sunset section of the city. The improvements here mentioned have all been secured for the section south of Golden Gate Park through the indomit- able persistency and pluck of such men as President Keller and Edward Ewald Jr., chairman of the executive committee who labored consistently and conscien: tiously with the object of gettin Valley improved from its share of the public funds paid by its property owners, It is thought that before the winter is over an attempt will be made to continue Dewey boulevard from its southern end to the park, along Seventh avenue to K street, where it has been extended on its northern side. With the completion of this boulevard one of the most pictur- esque drives in the city would be thrown open, leading from the Golden Gate Park into San Mateo County and the southern portion of our own city. The grading of Nineteenth avenue from the park southward has been knocked in the head, so to speak, for the present. But it is the intention of the promoters of the scheme to again rally public opinion and the interest of some of the property owners who have been npgo!ed oard g Sunset 1o its grading as soon as the new of Supervisors is in office. The Market-street Rallroad Company has started on the branch line of its elec- tric road from Oak ‘street to the Affiliated Colleges, which will be the terminus of the Frederick-street extension for the present. —_——— A Slight Shock.

COLNON’S FRANK TESTIMONY EACH COMMISSIONER WAS GIV- EN A SLICE. .President of the Board Despairs of Civil Service and Yields to the Pressure of Politics. The sessions of the Senate Investigat- ing Committee were enlivened yesterday by the president of the State Board of Harbor Commisstoners, who was called to the witness stand to give his opinion re- garding water front administration and his views on the construction of the Union ferry depot. The versatile Mr. Colnon, who {¢ soon to retire from public service, expressed the opinion that the eastern gallery of the depot as designed and constructed was of no'use whatever. The impression In the mind of the witness that architect- ure was not an exact science was stamped again at every sight of the unoccupied gallery. Inquiry was directed by General Dick- inson regarding Mr. Robinson, who was the superintendent of construction. Commissioner Colnon said that Robin- son came to the board highly commended as a capable man, whe had built the | Stockton Insane Asylum under the.direc- tion of Architect Perey. According to | the testimony Robinson was then a Re- | publican and no evidence was adduced to show that he had since changed his polit- ical faith. ‘When the attention of Mr. Colnon was directed incidentally to the fact that the mezzanine story of the depot is still un- finished the witness remarked that there was no demand upon the part of the State | officers for offices in the building, hence the decision was reached to cut out the artitions. The State Mining Bureau and | State Board of Trade will occupy space on_that floor. On the subject of wharves Mr, Colnon | said the biggest wharf in San Francisco was a mere toy compared with the South- ern Pacific wharf at Santa Monica. Bi and enduring wharves of Puget Soun | were described. The piles In the substan- | tial Spreckels wharf at San Diego cost 1 $50 apiece, so the witness had heard. On the topic of speclal counsel fees the i{)r(-sident of the board testified that au- hority for employment of extra counsel | was derived from the Attorney General. General Dickinson obtained a statement | from the secretary of amounts paid out | for extra counsel during the last two fis- | cal years F. S. Stratton received fees | as follows: $250, $500, $300, $300, $300, $; J. C. Campbell received $100 for an opin- |lon. Meanwhile the regular attorney, | Tirey L. Ford, received $4800. The amount disbursed in four years ior legal services | was $14,050, Commissioner Colnon, becoming genial and ingenuous as the inquiry progressed, took the committee into his confidence and gave his own impression of the spoils system as applied to the administration of water front affairs. He spoke of the purchasing bureau as a department of | great value, but to be useful it should be | divorced from politics. Adjoining the quarters of the board's storekeeper, he remarked, Is the office of the Southern | Pacific storekeeper. One man at a salary | of 312 serves the railroad company. He | supplies eighteen steamers, attends to the laundry work and looks after many other things. The board’s storekeeper gets $175 a_month and has an_assistant receiving | §75. The witness said the board's store- keeper was appointed to act as a check on the disbursement of supplies and a sav- ing of an amount equal to the salaries of the Commissioners had been brought about. Recurring again to go]l(!cs on the water front, Commissioner Colnon testified that the number of employes could be cut down. He called the water front the “‘dumping ground of the halt from all sections of the State.” ‘“We have no more use for special police | than we have for soldiers,” said Mr. Col- non. “I plead guilty to appointment of two. One was appointed from Sierra | County on the demand of the Democrats of that county. I had to appoint him or | get out myseif.” Commissioner Harney suggested that watchmen were employed years ago, and | that the special police took the place of | the watchmen; but the president of the board insisted that the Harbor police never made an arrest. General Lickinson asked Commissioner Colnon to express his views regarding the extension of the seawall south. Mr. Col- non remarked that a bill providing for the Fro]ongauon of the wall passed the Legls- ature two years ago, but was vetoed by Governor Budd because it allowed the ex- fendlture of a very large amount of pub- ic money for advertising for proposals. The Legislature, he thought, ought to pass some kind of & measure for seawall extensfon. Assembling after the noon recess, Sen- ators Dickinson, Prisk and Boyce found Commissioner Colnon reminiscent in fancy and communicative as ever, in fact. “Blessings brighten as they take their ADVERTISEMENTS.

All day to-day free sample packages of the celebrated “Schiffmann’s Asthma Cure” will be given away at William J. Bryan’s drug store, 3 New Montgomery street, under Grand Hotel. The doctor wants each sufferer from Asthma, Hay Fever or Bronchitis in this city to call and get one. When asked re- garding his reasons for giving his remedy away in this manner, he said: ‘People are naturally skeptical about an astMa remedy, and when you consider the num- ber of so-called ‘cures’ on the market you can hardly blame them. Now I claim that my Cure cures. It will instantly re- lieve the most violent attack. It has per- manently cured thousands who had been considered incurable.

In all the vast popula- ton of enlightened and progressive people in California he found but one sympa- thetic soul to join him in the good cause | of civil service, and that wes the soul of Sam Moffett. A letter was produced to show that Sam promised to let his_edi- torial work slide for a day and go down to the board's office and mingle his aspi- rations with those of Commissioner Col- non for water front reform. Letters were received from Hugh Craig, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Theodore Roosevelt, president of the Civil Service Commission, but neither Craig nor Roose- velt agreed, like Sam Moffett, to g6 right down to the brink of the water and battle for the cause of civil service. Things might have been different if Mr. Colnon had not lost faith in his own ability. Ac- cording to his testimony yesterday, he gave up the fight for reform and joined the ranks of the spoilsmen. General Dickinson, who was neves Known to shy at a programme, asked “What is the system now, Mr. Colnon? Promptly the president of the board an- swered: “The plan s to cut the patron- age into three pleces as you would cut a pie, and give each of the three vommis- sioners his plece.” Commissioner Harney blushed a_little water front blushiet. and Rudolph Herold, the new member, paled a trifle. “‘Upon my_ word,” continued the com- municative Mr. Colnon, “I did not know that a certain man was an employe of the board until ft came out in the newspapers that he had figured as a principal in a prize-fight. Then I learned that he was the chief of the sweepers.” General Dickinson asked: “Is any one required to see that the employes perform their duty?” Mr. Colnon replied: “The president of | the board is supposed to see that em- fdoyes are attentive to their duties; but have found it utterly futile to attempt alone to reform the spolls system. I could not hold out against the internal pressure for places without being considered a crank.” Some questions were asked by Henry | J. Smith, painter and polisher, and mem- | ber of the firm of H. Smith' & Son, to | ascertain if Contractor Willlam Cronan | paid anything to the firm for painting | work done on the roof.
