Miss Julia Buckley Leaves Home Two Weeks Ago and It Is Feared She Has Met With Foul Play. e The police are puzzled over the mys- terfous disappearance of Miss Julla Buck- | ley, who, until two weeks ago, resided | with her parents at 257 Minna street. The | Yesterday | the mother received a message that her | daughter had been injured, but the sender of thc message cannot be located. The fear is expressed that the young lady has met with foul play. Two weeks ago Sunday Miss Buck- ley left her home in the afternoon and did not return in the evening.

The gas jet in the room was also open, and it is supposed that Campbell pro- vided for the gas to end his life in the event the razor fafled to do its deadly’ TAHITIANS PREPARE FOR THEIR LAST FEAST Mrs. Lillian d’Ancona Goes to the Islands to Write About Ceremonies. Mrs. Lillian d’Ancona leaves for Tahit! this week on the steamer Australia to prepare a report for some of the Eastern magazines on the great celebration which is to take place in the islands on July 14. She will write several articles, one of them to cover the extensive prepara- tions now in progress, not only on the island of Tahitl itself, but throughout the Soclety group and the nelghboring islands of the Marquesas. The celebration is not only the cus- tomary biennial observance of the French fete day—the islands being under the control of France—but it is recognized in which free to have the full swing that has always been granted to them hitherto by the French officials. The establishment of the steamer con- nection with the United States is chang- ing things in Tahiti and the Tahitians realize that a little further time will ren- der their native pastimes, feasts and mysteries too incongruous to be permit- ted. Accordingly they are reported to be getting ready on a grand scale to turn loose in all their old-time regalia. It is expected that the result will be one of the most unique affairs that has occurred in the Pacific Ocean for a num- ber of years. It is also thought that it will be the last of the simon-pure native | feasts in the South Pacific. Mrs. d'An- cona goes under comrission from the Arthur 1. Street Magazine Comrlny, which is making use of some of her zrticles written during a former trip to Tahiti. ——————— Sembrich Opera Season.

The Police Commissioners at a meefln:: held last night appointed W. J. Kava- | nagh and Georfe K. Small regular patrol- | men. The new appointees were taken | from the civil service list.

He further suggested that when the commission asks for an appropriation from the Supervisors for the coming fiscal year that a large increase be demanded in order that more men may be appointed. The matter of closing the Chinese gam- bling houses was not considered. Com- missioner Newhall belleved that steps should be taken to have the charters of the Chinese clubs revoked. Mayor Phelan thought that the Attorney General might be induced to bring suit to have the charters forfeited. The dls- cussion was of a desultory nature, and no definite action was taken. ———— SLOSS HOLDS CHARTER | GOVERNS SCHOOL REPAIRS Decides in Overruling a Demurrer That Its Provisions Supersede Political Code. In an opinion overruling a demurrer tn the action instituted by P. M. Wellin | against Superintendent of Schools R. H. Webster for a writ of mandate to compel the allowance of a demand for $30 “on ac- count of school repairs,” Judge Sloss has | decided that the provision of the charter relative to the repair of school buildings supersedes the provisions of the Political Code, “if there is any conflict.” This de- cision, though Webster may join the is- | sues by filing answer, if so advised, means practically a judgment in Wellin's favor | and establishes the right of the Board of | Public Works and the Board of Educa- | tion to direct the matter of repairs under | the provisions of the charter. In his opinion Judge Sloss says: | “The real controversy seems to arise on | the question ¢f whether the provisions of | the charter reiative to the repair of school , buildings are in conflict with the provi- sions of the constitution of this State. “In ‘municipsl affairs’ the charter su- | persedes general laws. If the erection of schoolhouses ‘falls within the function of a municipal government' the alteration | and repair of such schoolhouses when | erected is equally a matter of ‘municipal | concern.” I conclude, therefore, that the | provision of the charter relative to the repair of school buildings are controllin; as against the provisions of the Pplitica Colds. The demurrer is therefore over- ruled.” —_————— SOCIETY WOMEN TO SING ON BEHALF OF CHARITY Will Take Part in Concert Nex: Month in the Mark Hopkins In- stitute of Art. Mrs. Henry T.

Captaln and Mrs, H. K. Struve had that honor. They were married in Manila and came home on the Hancock, arriving vesterday morning. It was a case of love at first sight and the officers on the Hancock call the court- shlp “The Romance of a Transport.” The bride was formerly Miss Florence M. Boruck, daughter of the late Marcus D. Boruck, at one time proprietor of the Spirit of the Times, and private secretary to Governor Waterman. The groom is Captaln. Hairy K. Struve, master of the transport Hancock, a most careful and skillful navigator and one of the best- known and best-liked men on the Pacific Coast. The romance began in April, 1900.

The allegations of the complaint are; That on the evening of the said 2Ist day of February, 1901, the said steamship arrived within three miles of the entrance of the port of San Francisco and encounteréd a heavy fog and anchored at the entrance of the said har- | bor within two miles of the shore of the city | end county of San Francisco, State of Cali- fcrnla, and was lying safely at anchor: that | thereafter, on the morning of the next day, between the hours of midnight and 5 o'clock, the sea being calm and no wind blowing, the said steamer, still lying safely at anchor, it being yet dark and a heavy fog still continu- | ing to envelop the sald ship, under the order of the captain of the said steamship her an- | chor was raised and she steamed from her said safe anchorage and attempted to enter the sald port of San Francisco; that the entrance | to- said_port is a narrow channel, surrounded by sunken rocks and reefs and fraught with sirong and varying currents; that the said attempt to enter the said harbor at the said time and in the said fog was gross negligence on the part of the captain of the sald vessel and of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company; that during the said attempt to enter the said Farbor, and by reason thereof, the said steam- ship was run upon a rock and foundered, and the said Henfy Guyon, being then upon the sald steamship, alive and able-bodied, was car- ried with her below the waters and was drowned. The complaint further charges gross negligence on the part of the defendant in failing to take the necessary soundings; that the crew consisted of ignorant Chi- namen, imperfectly acquainted with the English language, and were therefore un- able to understand the orders of the of- ficers; that there was abundant time after the ship struck to have launched the boats, but that owing to the aforesaid ignorance of the crew but two of the| boats were launched: that the steamship | company falled to provide a full comple- ment of licensed officers to manage the | ship, or officers who could speak the lan- guage of the crew. The sum of §25.000 is asked for as dam- ages for the loss of Mr. Guyon's life and $55"or the loss of his personal effects. Gavin McNab and Willlam Denman are attorneys for Mrs. Guyon.

When the Fhilippine Commission was sent out the members were assigned to the Hancock, and Miss Boruck went along with the wife of cne of the commissioners. Cap- taln S¢ruve learned to love on the trip to Manila, but was afraid to declare himself. Once in the Philippines and noticing the number of sick and the scarcity of nurses Miss Boruck offered her services, which were at once accepted. Every time the Hancock returned to Manila, Captain called upon Miss Boruck, and sucegeded in winning her consent tc a marriage when the Hancock returned to Manila. The outward run was made in | recovd time, and the transport reached Manila about the middle of January. On January 30, 191, Captain Harry K. Struve and Miss Florence M Boruck were made one, and a week or so later were on their way back to San Francisco. Thus ended | ‘Remance of a Transport” in the way h all good romances should end.
