Mary Burton Harrison, eldest ghter of the late Colonel Fred | | Crocker, rec v sold her undivided one- | | third interest in three pieces of realty in | | this city to her brother, Charles Temple- | ton Crocker, d her sister, Jennie A. | | Crock ncipal plece of property | inve s the site of the old | Presbyterian Church, northwest of Powell and Geary streets. The | most valuable piece is situated cn | on and First streets. on the corner of Busi | | and Battery streets. The price pald to | Mrs. Harrison for her nterest in the three | pieces of property was $282,562 52. The sale was made by Mrs. Harrison | through her attorneys, Messrs, Morrison & Cope. Since her marriage she has been | | & resident of New York city and is now | | having built there a residence that will, | when completed, cost fully a half-million | dollars. The guardians of the estates of | | her brother and sister, who are minors, | decided )me time ago to improve tha | propert n Powell and Geary streets and also the Mission and First street property. They also contemplate the improvement of the property at the corner of Bush and Battery streets. Mrs. Harrison did not feel inclined to share the cost of these improvements and announced her willing- ness to sell her interest in the properties involved. The guardians of the minor chil- dren deemed it best to buy her interes:t and on the 23d inst. the sale was consum- mated. ; ““The sale of these pieces of property,” said one of Mrs. Harrison's attorneys yes- terday, ‘I8 not to be understood as mean- ing that she intends disposing of all her interests in the State. She still holds an undivided one-tHird inierest in the home property and algo in an unimproved lot on the corner of Sutter street and Van Ness avenue. Her other interests are in the Crocker Estate Company. The only reason she disposed of the interest she had in the properties sold was that she did not care to assume her share of the cost of improvements. The improvements on the Powell-street land will cost fully | $1,000,000, and the Mission-street improve- ! ments will cost between $300,000 and" $400,. 1 000. It is her intention to retain her inter- | est in the Crockér Estate Company and | also in the other two pleces of properly not involved in the sale. The report that she intends disposing of all her interests | in California is without foundation. ANOTHER CONSUMPTIVE IS DENIED A LANDING Mrs. Harrison of Victoria, Prevented | From Coming Ashore, Dies | on the Steamer. Mrs. Mary Harrison, a married woman from Victoria, died on board the steam- | ship Walla Walla at 7 o'clock yesterday morning after having been denied a land- ing on the previous day. The body was taken to the Morgue and was afterward removed by an undertaker at the request of friends of the dead woman. When the Walla Walla was boarded by Federal Quarantine Officer Kinyoun he found that Mrs. Harrison was afficted with consumption and reported to United States Immigration Commissioner North that she was suffering from a contagious disease. TUpon that certificate Commis- sioner North denied her a landing.

A search of his clothing brought 10 light nine neckties, two knives, a picklock for spring locks, a package of tobacco, a purse containing 25 cents and a memoran- dum book on which was written, “I am coming from bome. J. J. McCormick,” and the address, “J. C. Douglass, South Main, S. D.” The bullet that ended his career entered on the left side of the head back of ths ear and ranged into the brain, producing instant death. Hall's wife visited him late last night at the City Prison, where he will be heid pending the result of the Coroner’s in- Guest. She said that she was at the home of her sister at the corner of Valencia and Twenty-second streets when she heard of the shooting. e et @ GHTHER ARDUAD BANOUET BOARD Officers of the League of the Cross Cadets Enjoy Annual Feast. e The officers of (he First Regiment of the League of the Cross Cadets held their annual banquet-last night at the Califor- nia Hotel.

School Flags Will Be Half-Masted in Memory of Queen Victoria. Some Assignments to Classes Made. e The Board of Education yesterday demonstrated more of its arbitrary methods in weeding out teachers from the department by refusing to grant the petition of Mrs. M. H. Slavan to be al- lowed to withdraw her resignation. In vindication of her course Mrs. Slavan stated in her patition that upon receiving notice from the board she Inferred that she had no alternative but to face a prin- cipal who manifested very unfriendly feelings toward her or resign. Heénce she impulsively but unwillingly penned the resignation. The board denied the peti- tion without discussing the merits of Mrs. Blavan’s contention that she had been forced out through a misapprehension. Denman’s motion that her petition be de- nied was seconded by Mark and received a unanimous vote. The board assigned Miss L. Smithson to the Laguna Honda School and Miss N. Gambitz to the Fairmount School, and transferred Mrs. M. E. Miel from the La- guna Honda to the Lincoln Grammar and Mrs. A. T. Spreckels from the Falrmount to a new class in the Dudley Stone School. James P. Nourse was appointed teacher of Latin and history in the Lowell High School. Miss Mary E. Donnelly, Miss Rose Ryan and John J. Gallagher were appointed heads of departments respectively of English, mathcmatics and classics in the | Mission High School. A rule was adopted providing that all pupils who have been one year in the first grade shall be classified as second | grade pupils and the teachers instructin, such classes shall receive the salary o second grade teachers. Leaves of absence were granted until| the beginning of the fall term to Albert J. Houston, Miss Pearl Hobart, Miss Charlotte Thompson, Miss M. B. Callahan and Miss M. O. Ryan. All flags on the public schools of San Francisco were ordered to be half-masted on Friday and Saturday, the 1st and Id of February, as a mark of respect to the memory of the late Queen Victoria, The resolution dismissing Mrs. Johnson as janitress of the Fairmount School on charges preferred by the principal that she is unsatisfactory was laid over for one week. Director Casserly and Superintendent Webster had a wordy tilt regarding reso- lutions providing for the payment of two demands for $5 and $30 in favor of P. M. Wellin_as head repairer of school build- ings. He is employed by the Board of Works. Webster desired to carry the de- mands to his office to consider whether he should sign them or not. Casserly ob- jected, but was ruled out of order by President Kincaid, who held that the Superintendent was acting within his rights. filed a petition requesting better school accommodations for their children. who are obliged to walk over a mile either to | Ingleside or Ocean View school. The board decided to visit the district to ascertain personally its needs. The board will also inspect the branch Sheridan School, which was reported in an _unsanitary condition by Health Officer O'Brien. If it is found impossible to im- prove that condition the school will be transferred to other quarters | MRS. LANCE SECURES POSSESSION OF CHILD Domestic Troubles Between Physician and His Wife Amicably Settled Out of Court. The trouble between Dr. Richard O. Lance and his wife over the custody of their child has been settled. Mrs. Lance called yesterday at the residence of Mrs. George Brown at 1780 Eddy street and se- cured the child and proudly carried the infant away. The Lances recently arrived from Mex. ico and were stopping at the Oaks Hotel on Third street. The physician decided to return to Mexico and to take the child with him. Mrs. Lance was afraid that she would never see her child again and consequently swore out a warrant for the doctor's arrest on the charge of kidnap- ing. Bishop & Wheeler, attorneys for Mrs. Lance, said yesterday that all difficulties | between the couple had been adjusted and that they would both possibly return to Mexico in the near future.

A suit of pajamas caused a great deal of worry to the doctors, hospital corps men and patients at the Army Hospital at the Presidio Monday night. Lieutenant Shaffer sent those pajamas to the laun- dry, unaware of the fact that in a pocket of them was $300 In greenbacks. All tne attendants were routed out and set to searching, and after hope of recovering the money had almost been given up, the lieutenant thought of the laundry ard | there recovered his money, which still lay in the pocket. Brigadier General Freeman, retired, through a delay narrowly missed his pro- motion. His nomination to the rank of brigadier was not sent to the Senate for confirmation until the afternoon of the day on which he was retired, when it should have gone before that body in the morning, as service is figured up to noon of the day of retirement. To those well versed in army regulutions the error seemed serfous, but the fears of the re- tired officer and his friends were allayed by the action of the Scnators, who simply antedated the document, thus making the retirement legal.

Next Friday a motion to declare Stephen V. Costello the legally elected candidate for the office of Superior Judge instead of Judge Willlam R. Daingerfleld or Judge T, F.

E. I e, who represented Judsae supported -the last mentioned motion.

H. Bennett of 2022 California s(reet‘ with a lusty blow of his strong right arm placed a young man named Frank L. Jones out of the diamond snatching busi- ness yesterday afternoon at the corner of | Third and Townsend streets and held his prisoner captive until Police Officers O'Connor and Orr formally placed him under arrest. Bennett was on his way home from work and was about to get on a car when a young man approached him, threw an overcoat against his face and grabbed at a dlamond stud In Bennett's necktie. | Quick as a flash Bennett's right arm shot | out. It caught Jones squarely on the | jaw and landed him on the sidewalk. The | crowd . attracted by the scuffle aided | Bennett in retaining the custody of his prisoner. Among those attracted to the sceme was | Hermann N. Lange, secretary of the Inglenook Vineyard Company, residing at 151 Valencia street. He recognized Jones as the young man who on Friday night last made an attempt to snatch a pin from his scarf while he was riding home- ward on the same car line and about the same hour. Frequent complaints of similar at- tempted snatchings of articles of jewelry | have been made to the police for some | when the cars are crowded. Jones, how- | ever, has been clever enough to avold | capture until he met Bennett. Although but about 25 years of age, Jones is regarded by the police as a da gerous man to be at large. He was re- moved to the Southern police station and later to the Hall of Justice. The two men he tried to rob will prefer charges of attempted robbery against him this | morning. Both Bennett and Lange are | positive in their identification of the man. Says Conspiracy Exists. James Tyson has sued the Kimball Steamship Company, Joseph Marsden, H. R. McFarlane Jr., John H. Bullock, Arthur J. Brander and R. H. Tyson to re- strain tne carrying out of an alleged con- spiracy against the best interests of the | steamship company. Tyson alleges that the defendants illegally permitted the is- suance of 200 shares of stock to McFar- lane. An injunction is asked to prevent McFarlane from acting as a director of the corporation.
