Will Seek Heavy Damages From Adolph Ottinger, Ticket Broker. —_—— Injured Man Claims a Scathing Let- ter, Intended to Hurt His Rep- utation, Was Written to Chicago. St gt Defamation of character will form the basis of a sult for $0,000 damages to be brought by H. R. Duffin, agent of the Cape Nome Steamship Company, against Adolph Ottinger, ticket broker at 620 Mar- ket street. The papers have been drawn up by Mr. Duffin’s counsel, Martin Stevens, and will probably be filed to-day or to-morrow. Duffin is a member of the Guarantee Ticket Brokers' Association, while Ot- tinger belongs to the American Ticket Brokers' Association. Before coming to San Francisco Duffin was connected with the American Association at Los Angeles. Ottinger, it is claimed, sent put a “stuf- fer” to sound the market. Duffin replied and being all out of the Guarantee As-! sociation’s blanks he took one of the | American blanks, scratching out **Ameri- can” and substituting “Guarantee.” Ot- tinger sent the blank to the secretary of the American Association, whose head- quarters are in Chicago, together with a personally written letter, the contents of which Duffin now takes exception to and bases his claim for damages on. The Chicago secretary happened to be friendly with Duffin_and he very con- siderately forwarded Ottinger's leiter to him. He read it—first with surprise, then with indignation. The things which Ot- | tinger put in black and white, Duffin says, | are mean fabrications, intended to injure his character. Mr. Duffin declined to talk about thc case when seen yesterday, stating that it would be time enough to bring out the facts after suit had been brought. CONTRIBUTIONS ASKED BY RELIEF COMMITTERE Galveston Sufferers in Need of Fur- ther Assistance From Cali- fornians. Texas needs more help. Through per- fectly reliable sources the California State Relief Committee has ascertained that sufficlent food and clothing has been sent, but that more money with which to pro- vide shelter for 8000 persons now homeless, and winter approaching, is the great need of the hour. All reports conclusively show that the relief committees in Texas are handling the funds sent them in the most judiclous manner and that affairs are being honestly conducted. Shelter, though only temporary, must be provided for the thousands who have nothing left but their empty lots. The California State Relief Committee is sending the following appeal to a large number of parties in San Francisco who have not been reached by the various committees and hopes that the response will be generous and immediate; The latest reliable reports from Galveston plainly indicate that contributions for its re- lief in general fall far short of those made on previous similar occasions and are less than were expected. It is quite evident that more help will be needed for some time in order to. furnish the distressed people with the neces- saries of life and to clear away the rulns and remove the dead The California State Relisf Committée for aiding the Texas sufferers is trying to reach all those who have not yet subscribed and af- ford them the opportunity to do o0, but al- though nearly every one Is willing to contribute money, we find it difficult to secure committees enovgh who can give sufficlent time to per- sonally call upon all lines of business and pro- fessions. No doubt you have been walting to be called upon to contribute and have already decided} what will be your subscription. This com- | mittee therefors appeals to you not to walt | until personally called upon, ‘but asks you to | send In at once such a contribution as you feel | Justified in giving. We have positive testimony | from reltable parties of this city who have just returned from Galveston that relief work there | is being most thoroughly and judiciously pe=- formed, and all contributors, ~therefore, caa feel astured that the money which they give | for this purpose will be properly expended. Will you not give some gid to this worthy cause?

WOODMAN IS HELD TO ANSWER | Makes Full Confession and Offers to| Plead Guilty to Petty Larceny Charge. i The preliminary examination of Mrs. | Adelaide J. Woodman, the midwife, charged with grand larceny for stealing | jewelry and valuable papers belonging to Mrs. Dr. J. C. Stone, 1934 Page street, was held before Judge Mogan yesterday. After Mrs. Stone and Detective Hamil had given thelr testimony the defendant said she would plead guilty to petty lar- ceny and throw herself upon the mercy of the court, as she had made all the repara- tion in her power. X “What do you know about pleading guilty to petty larceny?” asked the Judge. “You surely must have been in trouble before.” The defendant denied that she had ever been in a criminal court before. She said she must have been laboring under tem- porary Insanity when she stole the p{:r. erty, She made a full confession, de ing how she hid the box in the park, txk four dlamonds out of their settings and {aking them and the bank book went to Port Townsend and Seattle. The Judge said he believed her intention of coming back here was to get the cer- tificates of shares and other jewelry, with the object of disposing of them. Hé heid her to answer before the Superior Court in $3000 bonds. —————— Bunko Steerer in the Toils. Harry Walters, a bunko steerer who is known about town as “Major Gall,” is locked up in the City Prison, and the chances are that he will do a term in jail for his latest deed. Walters met Lorenzo Snow, a recent arrival from Salt Lake, who claims to be related to Bishop~Snow | of Mormon fame, and steered him to a room where a card game was in progress. Snow was induced to take a hand and soon parted with $25. He protested and was handed back $10 on_his promise to leave the city. Instead, however, he re- ported the matter to Detectives Ryan and Crockett, who soon located Walters and arrested him.. The officers declare that| Walters is deserving of a severe Sentence, as he'is an old offender. ¢ ——————————— Park Panhandle Meeting, Property owners in the park panhandle district held a meeting last night and prepared a petition to the Supreme Court r’:ul ing attention to the necefiulty of hav- ng an early hearing of the case now pending in which the interests of prop- I- ! erty owners in the district are invoived, in a few Another meeting will be days, -Made Ready-Made| Suits $10.00 Have you ever really considered the value of union-made clothing?
