If so the Tuesday Féars Botsford May Abscond. A bench warrant was issued by Judge Fritz yesterday for the arrest of Frank Botsford, who is charged by A. M. Shields of the Equitable Life Assurance Society with felony embezzlement. On the repre- sentation of Shields, who was influenced by the defendant’s wife's pleadings, the Judge allowed Botsford his liberty on $20 cash ball till he rendered his decision as to whether he should be held to answer. Shields notified the Judge yesterday that Bot«ford was making arrangements to leave the city and asked that the bench warrant be issued. piadie s o7 PRRE LS Appropriations for Schools. The Board of Education filed its esti- mate of the expenses of its department with the Auditor yesterday.

The Board of Health wants $80,300 for salaries, $13,000 for other expenses and $11,- for ‘the’ Twenty-sixth street hospital next year. It asks for a central disin- fecting station, to bulld and maintain which will cost $30,000. Sheriff Lackmann says ke will require $145,400 to Tun his several departments for one year. e Loughrey Family Troubles. Mrs. Tessie Loughrey, whose husband, Joseph Loughrey, manager in a glove store at Post and Kearny streets, refused to support her and compelied her to seek shelter in the City Priscn Friday, ap- peared before Judge Mogan yesterday on a charge of malicious mischief. It ap- peared that she was taken from the rison and got shelter for herself and abe in the houke of a friund, but at night she went to her husband’'s house at 1113 Geary street and because he refused to give her money sho threw a stone th one of the windows and was arrested. it was the second time she had done so recently, the Judge convicted her, but al- lowed her to go on her own recognizance till to-morrow, when the divorce suit in which she and her husband are the prin- cipals will be heard. —_————— Chinese Embezzlers Wanted. Woo Kee Wing, 728 Commercial street, swore to a complaint. in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday for the arrest of Soo Hoo Quockyim on the charge of felony em- bezzlement. The defendant was the pres- ident of the Nam FPing Soclety, an asso- ciation for benevolent purposes, and it is all that he stole $1000 from the funds of the soclety and was to leave for China.

Last Thursday the woman was ar- rested for vagrancy, but was released on $50 cash bail furnished by Attorney Wal- ter Gallagher. Shortly after she was re leased from custody the head of the de- tective department happened to think that she was wanted on the more serious charge of blackmalling Mr. Smith and he lost no time in detailing two of his men to find her. whey weére Instructed to closely watch her home and arrest her as soon as she appeared. In some way, presumably duc to the volubility of Seymour when tell- ing his troubles outside of.the Hall of Justice, the woman learned that she was wanted on. another charge and she kep: out of sight. Her attorney says that she is still in the city and declares that he will have her in the Police Court when her case is called to-morrow. According to a friend of the woman, she was a passenger on the same car with Seymour Friday night. Notwitlistanding that he had seen her a number of times | he failed to recognize her. The womaa, at first, concluded to speak to him, but as he seemed anxious to avoid her, according to her friend's statement, sho walked to the other end of the car. It is reliably sald that Miss McCann is daily seen in the vicinity of police head quarters. . Since her release on bonds she has frequently visited her attorney's of- fice, which is only a shqrt distance from the Hall of Justice, and consulted him about giving herself up, so as to not fur- ther worry the head of the detective de- partment. Learning that the woman will appear when her case {s called to-mor- row, Seymour, anxlous to get even with her for not throwing herself into the arms of his blundering sleuths and thus save his reputation as a rank fmitator o® Sherlock Holmes, has detailed two of his men to stand at the entrance to the Hall of Justice in the morning and place her under arrest as soon as she appears. WITH ROUGH ON RATS Mrs. Joseph McElroy Uses Poison ‘While Temporarily Insane and Dies Soon After. Mrs. Joseph McElroy, an aged woman residing at 230 Francisco .street, cleaned her teeth with rough on.rats yesterday | afternoon and died in excruciating agony | a short time afterward. The woman had been sick for some time, and was tem- porarily insane when she used the poison. It is not belleved that she intended to end her life. 5 Two months ago Mrs. McElroy was sent to Mount Zion Hospital. She improved under treatment, and a few days ago her condition was such that she was sent to her home in charge of a nurse. Yesterday morning Mrs. McElroy be- came delirious, and in the afternoon arose and started to clean her teeth with a sub- | stance that was contalned in a small box. The nurse had stepped from the room to secure some medicine when her patient | took the stuff, and as soon as she re- | turned she investigated and found that | the box had been filled with rough on | rats. | Mrs. McEiroy died about two hours af- terward, and her body was sent to the | Morgue. — e Monticello Election. The Monticello Club held an election last evening, the result of which was to put James P. Booth into the presidency and a line of congenial officers , behind him. The election resulted as follows: President, James P. Booth; vice president, Louis de F. Bartlett; secretary, Willlam M. Maguire; financial secretary, Louls H. Mooser: treasurer, Curtis Hillyer; 'directors—Willlam M. Cannon, 8, V. Costello, Hull McClaughry. Z. T. Malaby was the opposition candl- date for secretary, but he was easil beaten by Maguire. R. V. Whiting, J.| R. Pringie and George Cabaniss ran for directors, but they were beaten by the straight ticket. —_——————— RESTRAINING ORDER ON A MACHINE SHOP.—United Btates Circuit Judge Morrow issued a restraining order yesterday on the Joshua Hendy Machine Works, enjoining them from selling or acting as agents for a certain make of water tube boilers.

KIKG OIL BOWLS OVER KING COAL Eighty Large Local Con- cerns Substitute the New Fuel. Del Norte, Lassen and Siskiyou Coun- ty Prospectors Interested in Spying Out Seepages. and Shales. ——— The most interesting sign of the times locally connected with the development of the California oll industry is the exten- sion of the market for the output of the wells which this city is affording. Fire Marshal Towe stated yesterday that from two to three applications are made every week for permission to use oil fuel as a substitute for coal fuel. The applicants | all represent large concerns. This must necessarily be so, for the reason that con- siderable expense s Involved in making the change from coal to oil burning ap- paratus, and unless the volume of fuel to be consumed is large it would not pay to| change. Fire Marshal Towe is busy con- sidering various matters connected with the permits for location of storage tanks. There are about elghty large concerns in San Francisco now burning oil fuel. The | number will be very largely increased by the end of the year. In addition to the large 30,000-barrel storage tank of the Market Street Rall- way Company, the comparfy will.have six | other tanks in the city, for which nego- | tiations are now going on. These will be It is reported that the Mount Diablo Ofl Company has struck oil sand which prom- ises well at a depth of 600 feet. This was the first well to be drilléd in Contra Costa County. Attention has been called to the fact that the drilling of wells for oil has de- termined that there are vast quantities of water to be reached, which may be- come valuable In the arid districts. Two marked instances illustrative of the ap- preciation in which this fact is held have just come to light. The San Jacinto Qil Company employed an expert, who re- ported that he did not consider the pros- pects favorable for oll, but pointe uutI a locality where he believed a large flow of artesian water would be encountered. | The stockholders console themselves with the thought that water is almost as valu- able as oil in the San Jacinto territory, and also that the location selected is most favorable for the distribution of water. The second Instance is in the Bunset_district. The Bakersfleld Californian says con- cerning that water find: *“The most re- markable strike ever made (n Sunget was that made recently by the Raisin City on the northwest quarter of 31, 32-24. The find was wate{: pure in quality and ap- parently abundant in guantity,"as steady baling for a haif-day failed (o lower the | level perceptibly. his is the only vein of water fit for drinking, as well as for steaming and drilling, ever found in the district, and the operators in that section are jubilant. The Raisin City officlals are particularly gratified, as it sells at the rate of 7 cents a barrel. The company will make a water well out of the hole, and will sink another for the same pur- pose as soon as possible.” A tract of 25)) acres between Rag Guich and White River, in Kern County, has | been bonded by a company which will; drill there. This is in new territory. | The people of Del Norte County now | think ‘they have oil territory. The Del Norte Record says: A company has been formed to bors and | Frospect for ofl near Arcata. So far the only indications are that at times a see has been observed by different persons. In the western part of this county ofl seepage in | large quantittes can be obscrved any time It | is looked for. This is especially true around Lake Earl, small ponds entirely covered with oll, and also | in the vicinity of Point St. George. The fact that the oil seepage is more noticeable around | the lake may be due to the fact of its low | position and the loose condition of the soil | through the sand hills, However, it 18 there. | Another supposition that strikes us as being reasonable is that this region lies in line with | the ofl belt that has been discovered south of us, extending in & northerly direction, com- meéncing at the southern end of the Joa- quin Valley and extending as far north as Humboldt County. Whether or not the belt | continues 100 miles farther north into Del Norte is vet to be ascertained, but thers are many conditions that seem to point to the fact that it does. Work is progressing quietly for the es- tablishment of a new refinery in Los An- eles for the manufacture of asphaltum | rom crude petroleum. Southern Califor- | nia has an equipment capable of refining | 100,000 barrels of ol per month. “It is be- lleved,” says the Los Angeles Herald, “that these will, within a few months, be all running at their full capacity, taking up the equivalent of the entire Los An- geles fleld.” A correspondent of the Los Angeles Times reports that surface indications of oil_have been discovered near the town of Daggett, on the Santa Fe, in the desert.
