Considerable care has bcen exercised in securing information as to which of the two died first, Bissinger or his wife.

His first wife was a Greenbaum, and his second an Oppenheimer. By the former he had three children, and by the iatter one. Eilsle 18 the oldest daughter.

That the better element of San Francisco is opposed to the reopening of the Ingleside racetrack was evidenced yesterday, when, in nearly every church the members of the congregations affixed their namss to the petitions circulated by the Law and Order League. thousand citizens, will be filed with the Board of Supervisors to-day. board will carefully consider the important question before voting to license gambling within the city These petitions, The Law and Order League is an organization composzd of the leading ministers and citizens of | this city. The efforts of the members have been put forth in a battle for morality. They are striving to have slavery in Chinatown abolished, and have also taken concerted action against that terrible evil —racetrack gambling. When the gambling element tried to sway the minds of the Supervisors by fil- ! ing a petition alleged to have been signed by three thousand people, who favored the reopening of In- | e City and County of San Fran- ‘body not to pass the proposed ordi- and important popular functions asking that the ordinance be not passed. ““We have a law on our city statute books that for- bids poolselling and bookmaking. election by a large majority voted not to allow poolsell- ing and bookmaking in this city.

Because of the almost criminal negli- gence of the Mayor and the Board of Su- | pervisors little Dorothy Rutherford. a wee tot of six years, met an untimely death late yesterday afternoon. toppled over a steep embankment into a stagnant lake, bounded by H and J strects and Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues, and was drowned. Three hours later tha body was dragged from the waters and carried to the home of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Rutherford, 1254 Twelfth avenue. At the dinner hour last night Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford sent the little one cut to call her 14-year-old brother, Chesley, who was playing on the opposite bank. Ths brother responded and started for the house, but did not notice that the little one had, in the meantime, fallen into the water. Soon after the dinner hour the father and mother started in search of the miss ing child. Failing to find her they went downtown to notify the police of her dis- appearance. While thev were away A. A. Somerville and F. C. Reynolds, neighbors, dragged the waters and recovered th: body. When the parents returned home at 10 o'clock they werc grief-stricken to find the tiny corpse in the house. Three years ago the Sunset Improve- ment Club, composed of sixty or more in- fluential citizens of the Sunset district made a determined effort to have the water drained from the stagnant pool which had for months been filling up with the surface water from the Almshouse on the hill above and from a broken sewer on Tenth avenue. Provisions were made by Mayor Phelan that the matter should be attended to only to adroitly sidetrack the main issue with suggestions for a free library in the park. A month ago Engi- neer Grunsky, Chairman Curtis and two other members of the street committee of the Board of Supervisors visited the neighborhood and promised that the water should be drained away, though pleading scarcity of city funds. Mean- while the lake has increased in size and depth, breeding further disease and un- sanitary conditions in the neighborhood. The lake is now about 300 to 400 feet long and 150 to 200 feet wide. In some Ylaces it is more than twenty feet deep. n the three years that the improvement club has been agitating the drainage question several small children have died of fever and diphtheria. *Mr. Rutherford, who is bereft of his child by yesterday's tragedy, is a member of the firm of Thumler & Rutherford, at 538 California street. HOODLUMS DISTURB SALVATIONIST MEETING They Escape Before the Arrival of the Police and Cannot Be After- ward Identified. Several drunken rowdies disturbed an open air meeting of the Salvation Army yesterday afternoon and made good their escape before the arrival of the police. The Salvation Army people were holding their usual Sabbath services on Seventh street, below Market, when the hoodlums appeared on the scene. The latter com- menced hooting and yelling at the speak- ers. No attention was pald to them at first. They then started in to jostle the listeners and one of the army members politely requested them to refrain. He was rewarded for his efforts by a blow from one of the rowdies that felled him to the ground. The spectators were about to interfere when one of the disturbers, who was standing near the corner, called out that a Pollcemnn was In sight. hoodlums did not wait for a second warn- ing. They broke through the crowd and ran down Seventh street to seek refuge in_a saloon. When Policeman Tillman, who was on duty on Market street, and whose ap- proach caused the hoodlums to run away, arrived the disturbers . had - all disap- peared. Unfortunately none of the peo- Dle present were able to identify the rowdies, so no arrests were made. _ Tha little one | The | \RAID TO BAVE BLUFF DESTROYED Officer Gruenwald Stoned and Fires Shots at His Assailants. Yesterday a large force of men were set to work tearing away portions of the Te'- egraph Hill bluffs overlooking Battery street, near Union. The cars on the firs*- named street were stopped and police offi- cers protected the men in their labors. Near by is Gray Bros.' quarry, whera the teamsters are on strike, and this trouble, with the resistance made by resi- dents on the hill to che destruction of the bluffs, made the presence of the officera necessary to prevent bioodshed. Officer George Gruenwald, detailed Sat- urday night to the scene, was stoned from the top of the hill. He fired two shots from his revolver at his assailants, scat- tering them quickly, For some time past the heavy rains have loosened the rocks that wall one side of Battery street, rendering traffic on the thoroughfare dangerous. On several oc- casions large bowlders have fallen from their places, narrowly missing pedestrians and cars. When a section of the danger- ous bluff was ordercd removed the resi- dents on the top of the hill believed thai such action would render the foundations of their homes unsound and threatened resistance. Saturday night Officer Gruen- wald was patrolling ‘he place while the men were preparing to commence the work, and a shower o rocks rained down upon him. After several attacks of th's kind had been made the policeman drew his revolver and fired two shots at the offenders, causing them to retreat, Yes- terday afternoon four additional cers were sent to the placy - bt o place and order pre- PARK POLICEMEN STOP TWO EX(ZITI NG RUNAWAYS Park Policeman Manuel de la Guerra stopped a thrilling runaway in Golden Gate Park yesterday. At about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when the roadways and footpaths were crowded with vehicles and pedestrians, a spirited horse attached to a light rubber-tired rig dashed up the main driveway in the direction of the panhandle road. Policeman de la Guerra saw the runaway and, waiting until the animal was almost abreas: of him, put spurs to his horse and dashed in pursuit. The horse had run a distance of about elght to ten blocks when the plucky officer seized him by the bridle and stopped him on the panhandle road, midway between Bfr);,“ and Lyon streets. e occupants of the vehicl.

The warm sunshine and the clear blue sky and Invigorating atmosphere filled the benches in front of the park music stand yesterday, but the ground underneath was muddy and wet from the recent rains. Nevertheless the crowds sat and listened to the music until the last number on the programme was finished. It been some weeks since tue Park has seen so many equipages, while the footpaths were crowded throughout the afternoon. At the Chutes the crowd was not so large as it has genrally been on- Sunday afternoons. for the reason that the ma. ority of the day’'s pleasure seekers were ound for the scene of the Rio de Janeiro disaster. The principal attractions in the theater were the Hawallan quartet, the Kobers, trapeze performers, and little Irene Kober, the clever contortionist.
