Doctor’s Daughters Gi Pink Ice Cream With Songs and CELEBRATE HAPPY MAYDAY ve Little Ones a Feast of Cakes, Candy and and to Each a Toy Balloon---Indoor Picnic — HE sick children in the Little Jim ward of the Children's Hospital enjoyed Mayday yesterday with the ald of the Doctor's Daugh- ters, who provided them with a feast and personally saw that they had a good time. ' The ladies went to the hospital shortly after 3 o’clock and after playing a series of games with the children invited them to the ‘“party.” Ice cream—pink ice cream—by special request of little Carl | Schoppe, of the eve and ear ward, and cake and candy were heartily enjoyed by the little ones. After the party each lit- tle patient was presented with a bright, gayly painted toy balloon. In the ‘‘sun room’’ the little ones had an indoor picnic. “They played games, pge T e c ey Interesting Games in the Bright Sun Room & + watched the antles of the mechanical toys and had a jolly time with picture books and listening to the pretty stories the kind ladies told them. The sweet, pretty nurses of the hospital assisted the charitable Doctor's Daughters in enter- taining the little ones. They saw that no patient was neglected and that no one was overfed. The ladies who made the day a pleasant and happy one for the children were: Mrs. George B. Somers, Mrs. W. D. Fenni- more, Mrs, Frank Bates, Mrs. Eugene Freeman, Mrs. Linda Bryan, Miss Susie McEwen, Mrs. C. W. Slack and Mrs. John Hunt. Little Misses Eva Brewer and Vera de Sabla distributed bonbons to ihe little ones and the two little daughters of Judge Slack saw that each little patient 1eceived a toy balloon. LITTLE ONES OF THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ENJOY AN INDOOR PICNIC GIVEN THEM BY THE KINDLY DOCTORS' DAUGHTERS, PINK ICECREAM AND TOY BALLOONS BEING AMONG THE DELIGHTFUL FEA- TURES THAT MADE SMALL HEARTS GLAD. — PLACES BLAME UPON PHYSICIN Coroner’s Jury Charges Dr. Bunker With a Girl’s Dedth. | The Coroner’s jury that yesterday heard the testimony as to the cause of Jane Bouillaguet's death returned a verdict that she came to uer death on April 25 from blood poisoning, following an opera- | tion performed by Dr. R. E. Bunker, and | charged Dr. Bunker with murder. The physician surrendered himself im- medtiately after the verdict was rendered and was released on giving bonds in the sum of $10,000, with Dr. Perrault and Charles L. Patton as sureties. Miss Adele Cerles was the most dam- eging witness against the accused doctor. She was the friend and confidant of Miss Bouillaguet and accompanied her to Dr. Bunker's office on April 8. The witness stated that the doctor agreed to per- form _an operation for $15. He suggested the Bellevue Sanitarium at 1603 Jackson street and the witness went thither with ber friend and paid the $15 to Miss Emma Siddall, the head nurse. Miss Bouillaguet told the witness a Gay or two later that she had been operated upon by Dr. Bun- ker. She had told the witness also that H. J. Ford, a conduclor on the Jackson- street line, had tried to dissuade her from having the operation performed and had offered to marry her and take her away from this city, but that she had refused. H. J. Ford, the cenductor mentioned, testified that he had kept company with Miss Bouillaget for about a year. She told him what her purpose was and he said that if she carried it out he would rot have anything more to do with her. | They had been engoged to be married. Miss Emma Siddall swore that she had been employed by Dr‘Bunker for the last five years and tha:®she had been pro- prietor of the Beilevue Sanitarium for two years. She afterwards qualified her statement by saying that at present she was not an employe of the doctor. She denied that a crimi operation had been performed upon Miss Boulllaguet. A. W. Martin, undertaker, admitted very calmle: that he had disobeyéd the orders of the Coroner by embalming the body without permission. He had done 80 because he did not think that there were any suspicious circumstances con- nected with the case. Dr. Bunker testified that he had treated the woman for an abscess and that she told him that she had been to a woman who had troated her with elec- tricity. He was aware of the condition of his patient. The witness testified further ~that wheu Undertaker Martin saw the death certificate he asked the doctor to give something else than sep- ticaemia as the cause so that it would | ————1 SONOMA GOUN LOES 175 SUIT Cannot, Recover the Sum Lost by Gil Hall's - Alleged Crime. Gil P. Hall, the ex-Recorder of Sonoma County, who was prosecuted for defalca- tion while in office'and escaped conviction, will not be compelled to pay back:to the county the amount he is alleged to have appropriated. The Supreme Court yester- day handed down a decision in the case of the @ounty of Sonoma against Hall and his bondsmen, in which it is declared that the statute of limitations had operated against the plaintiff. Hall, who was - Recorder for several terms, was tried a number of times for alleged embezzlement, but escaped con- viction. The county then filed several civil actions against him on his official bonds, contending that the liability was on the bond, and that the statute of limi- tations that would apply was the statute placing the limitation at four years on written obligations. The defendant and his bondsmen contended, on the other hand, that the statute of limitations that ap- death was the result of a criminal opera- tion, which had been performed within a week prior to Miss Bouillaguet's death. McGLADE 5 SET FOR TRIAL.—The case of Peter McGladd, ex-nookkeeper in the Superintendent of Street's department charged with forgeey, was called in Judge Cook’s court vesterday and the trial was/set for May 20.

FURTHER HONOR FOR M'GORMICK Will in Future Attend to Press Work of Railroad. W. H. Mills, who for many years has had charge of the press work in connec- tion with the transportation and adver- tising departments of the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company, has at his own request been relieved of that duty. Pas- senger Traffic Manager E. O. McCormick will in future look after the work. Mr. Mills will leave shortly for Buffalo to take charge of the Southern Pacific Company’s- exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition, and is not expected to return before next November. In order that he might be able to give all his time and attention to the exhibit, he asked that some one be selected to carry on the press work. He will, however, continue to serve as land agent of the Southern Pacific. President Hays, after looking over his staff, selected Mr. McCormick to succeed | Mills in the press bureau. The new hon- | ors conferred on Mr. McCormick came as | a pleasant surprise to the many friends he has made during his residence here. His new work will not come hard to him, | for when he was connected with the Big | Four, with headquarters in Cincinnati, he successfully managed the newspaper de- artment of the roads and established riendly relations between the corporation and the press.

McDonnell to answer befcre the Grand Jury on a | tharge of having. counterfeiting tools in his possession. Bail was fixed at $2500.
