Dr. Huntington became acquainted with M McKown at the College of Phys'- waere while training norance of procedure in such cases. As vet no charge has been preferred against sither Hill or Huntington, though Hunt- ington is held pending the inquest with- out bonds.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 6, 1899 My Dear Jante: Your kind and welcome let- ter to hand this morning. I went over to usalito yesterday afternoon and returned with the boat leaving there at 10:50, arriving home little before 12. To my great dismay I discovered that my keys were in my other coat pocket, £0 I had to go lodging hunting. I went over to Dan, Eighth and Natoma, and found rest for my weary head. This morning in leaving, and being so close to Rausch street. I stopped to see Belle and found her busy, catching fleas. Being afrald of those lively creatures I hurried home. Now you | room in which the operation had been per- the same time do not know when I will know. I never know until the end of the day whether I have a quiz that night or not. As far as I know I will have no quiz on next Monday night and can possibly go out to the college then. I might be able to go on Thursday or Friday evening, but don't and won't know until the afternoon of either day. So you see how I am fixed. I am growing a little bunch of whiskers on my chin. If I find I have no quiz on Thurs- day 1 can let you know at 7:30 p. m. So now you can arrange’your plans according to the above. S0 good-by for the present, with love, ete., RALPH A. HUNTINGTON. Detectives Dinan and Wren went to the office of Dr. Huntington last night, and finding nothing gained entrance to the formed. Scattered about the room were a number of surgical instruments. The condition of the place showed that when the girl died a hurried exit was made by those in the room. The room s in a lodging-house, but none of the occupants were aware that a death had occurred there. The instruments bear conclusive evi- dence of having been used recently. They were left promiscuously about the room without being cleaned. POLICE COMMISSIONERS CAUSE STARS TO FALL Five More Lieutenancies Will Be Created if Chief’s Redistrict- | ing Plan Is Adopted. Chiet of Police Sullivan at a meeting | of the Board of Police Commissioners last | night submitted a plan for the redistricts | ing of the city. The plan, the Chief says, will give the city a better patrol system and at the same time will give a more | even territory to the several divisions of The Commissioners agreed to look into the matter and will most likely adopt the Chief's idea. - If hange is made the department will ;‘r;e\vec five more lleutenants added to its | list. It is the aim of the Chief to have all the stations entirely in command of captains’ lieutenants and not -of ser- geants, as is the custom in vogue at pres ent in some sections. Policeman Frank Howard, who was cut while off duty during a row in a saloon | on Central avenue, put up a strong case to the board, but Captain Wittman's testi- | mony against his police record carried more weight and as a result the Commis- sloners dismissed Howard from the force. Police Officer Owen E. Heffernan, | charged with reporting for drill in a drunken condition, was also dismissed. | The boundaries of the police districts, as | set out in the plan submitted by the Chief, are as follows: * Southern _district—Boundaries: West line .

James A. Hart, president of the Chicago Baseball Club, who is spending a few days in the city, a guest at the Palace, said last evening that the storles to the effect that he was to bring the Windy City ball team to San Francisco for prac- tice this winter were groundless. “If we come to California at all,” he said, “it will be to the southern part of the State. The conditions seem to be favorable there and it is not improbable that the team will be taken to Los An- geles for three weeks training prior to the opening of the season. It may be possible to arrange for two or three exhi- bition games in this city while the team is_out this way.” Mr. Hart says the Chicago nine had a Yery successful season last year. It played 40 &%mes and {ts expenses aggregated £100,000. Three Californians played with the team last season and Mr. Hart speake very highly of their work. Hart con- siaers the prospects for the coming sea- son very good. ——————— Died of Apoplexy on Monticello. A.

St B Miss Zane Sues to Recover on Note and an Astonishing Bill for Gowns and Garments Is Produced in Defense. St Society has produced a lawsuit, with Miss Marie Zane as plaintift and Mrs. e H. de Onativia as defendant, that will keep the ladies gossiping until next Lent. On the one side, that of the fair plaintiff, is a 33500 note which she se(_‘ks to collect: on the other there is everything in a counter claim—a bill in equity, as it were—from a blue foulard gown with white dots, trimmed with cherry ribbons and white chiffon, to a blue silk corsci This corset and “Cito,” Mrs. de Onati husband, fiit in and out among the win ings of the fabric of this quarrel between once firm friends, and it is hard to defi nitely locate them, save that the corset “bought at Paris for 60 francs and 0" became a benedict at Cairo in dis- ant.

As both plainuf and detendant are absent—Miss Lane now resiang ot 1 Kast Seventy- s = tourth street, New york, and mrs. ae Ornativia being with her husband at 3| Avenue du ssois de Boulogne, Paiis, France—the case is being largeiy tried by oeposition. The reading of piaintift’s dep- osiion opened the proceedings. 'fne in- terrogatories were iead by one attorney and tne answers by another, and tnus the usual wearisome reading of such papers was largely done away with. In her aep- sition- Miss Zane says: In 189 1 was residing with my uncle, | Mr. Aiexander Loughuorough, in San ¥rancisco. He was paying my expenscs and otherwise caring for we. In May of that year 1 recelvec a note from the de- , who was then Mrs. Henry At- water Jerome. She asked me to visit her at Coronado, which 1 did. She paid my expenses, and after visiting there for a while we visited the Hotel del Monte and Mrs. de Onativia then sug- e a trip with her to Europe, - 3 intended J.aura Mckinstry with her, but as 1 was a good friend of hers she would dearly love to show 1ee all the places in the old country sne was acquainted with.

From | there we went to Vienna, Dresden, Buda pest, Trieste, Bologna, me, Nap Brindisl, Athens, Constantinople, C: Alexandria, Malta, Algiers, Marseilles a Parts and London. I carried no trunk, my clothing being with those of my host- ess, together with the silverware, eccen- tric parasol handles and a collection of | fans. I never borrowed money from Mrs. | de Onativia, but she frequently borrowed | m me. | “During our travels my hostess met her | present husband, T. L. de Onativia. He | accompanied us on our travels, and at | Calro their marriage was solemnized. | Then we went back to Paris and London. Later I came home, as I will te!l later.” Here Mrs. de Onafivia's deposition right- fully breaks into the case. She alleges that she did not offer to take Miss Zane with her as guest. but it was mutually understood that Miss Zane was to pay her own expenses. The $3500 was offered her, she says, in order that the trip to Europe could be undertaken the quicker. Mrs. de Onativia says she was offered the use of Madrona Villa by Mrs. Darling if she chose to remain in California until her affalrs could be straightened out, but she had secured her divorce from Mr. Jerome and wished to forget old scenes, so she accepted the $3500 and the start was made. As an additional offset Mrs. de Onativia says she gave Miss Zane clothing—many gowns and six chemises—pald for her bi- cycle hire, purchased the blue foulard, another light blue foulard, a_ gray cloth dress trimmed with guipure, the blue cor- set, a bicycle sult, underclothing, and, last of all, she clalms Miss Zane took a nickel- plated bicycle worth $150, which she owned, without her consent. Altogether Mrs. de Onativia says Miss Zane cost her $4500, which is more than an offset to the | note in questicn. Miss Zane again takes the stand. She| admits taking some dresses frors Mrs. de | Onativia, but says Mrs. de Onativia gave the dresses to her in exchange for others. | The six chemises Miss Zane says were given to her by her hostess because they did not fit her hostess, and she didn’t want to throw them away. Two, bicycle suits, the plaintiff continues, were made at Mrs. | de Onativia's request in New York, one for each of them, but when Mrs. de Ona- tavia saw them she took that ma the plaintiff “because it hung better,” an left that with a “bad hang' for her guest, | the plaintiff, So the story goes all through i the depositions. Prices of clothing, who ! was bettered by an exchange of clothing, how much bicycles cost, how much meals are in Budapest, whether or not Miss Zane was forced to sleep on a lounge in her hostess’ stateroom and whether or not it was a fact that their quarrel was the re- sult of an objection of Miss Zane's New York aunt, Mrs. E. I. Keys, to divorced women, are all involved in the contro- versy. Letters, some Pleumt. others girlishly sarcastic and spiteful, in which De Ona- tivia is forced often to bear the name “Cito,””_are among the pleadings and pa- TS, ith these, assisted by elaborate riefs to be prepared by counsel, Judge Seawell will endeavor to render a just de- cision on the distressing issues involved. REUBEN LLOYD GIVES POWER OF ATTORNEY It Is in Favor of Isabella Levy, Who Deeded Her Valuable Hold- ings to Him. A power of attorney was filed in the Recorder’s office yesterday, in which Reu- ben Lloyd grants authority to Isabella Levy to dispose of the property which she recently deeded to Lloyd, only reserving to herself a life interest in the same. The particulars of the transaction were fully published in The Call several days ago.
