Six days after the divorce was _granted Mrs. Coleman was married at Reno, to BEd Smith. The child had meanwhile, by the consent of both parents, been placed in the care of mutual friends at San Jose. A short time ago Mrs. Smith assumed the care of the child again without the knowledge of Coleman.

The are several detalls that have not been decided “pon in the matter of con- struction, but ‘he larger plans are com- pleted. The hotel building will not con- tain any stores or offices, being strictly and exclusively for hotel purposes. In a general woy the arrangement of rooms is sed upon the Touraine in Boston and the Manhattan in New York. There will be about 360 rooms. Every bedroom will have an outside exposure and bath. Every suite will have a telephone connecting with the office system. The lighting will be by electricity. There will be three pas- senger elevators and a fast freight and a fast service elevator. A mezzanine floor will have banqueting-rooms and recep- tion-rooms for banqueting guests. On the top floor will be rooms for bachelors. The feature of the hotel which will at- tract the greatest attention will be the arrangement and the furnishings of the first, or ground floor. The picture shows the style of the entrance and of the col- onnade, which will be very elegant. On the southeast corner, fronting on Powell and Geary streets, will be a palm garden 47x88 feet in dimensions. Tms_ will be open to ladies and gentlemen. Man will be at his ease there, being permitted to the legal restoration of his child. He is willing that the child should live with outside parties, but declines to allow her remain under the same roof with Smith. Attorney Shurtliff, Mrs. Smith's legal dviser, says a minor child is always the ward of the court, and that the previous decision can easily be set aside. Mrs. Smith means to keep the child at all haz- ards. The case will be brought up in | Judge Troutt’s court Monday. | " Kathiynne, by the will of her grand- { mother, Mrs. Burdell, is heiress to nearly | $100,000, but both parties state that this | 18 no factor in the contention.

MRS, MARTIN'G PLUNGE TO DEATH Mrs. Martin, whose body was found ly- ing on the sidewalk in front of 1101 Geary street at 3 o’clock yesterday morning, was the wife of Isaac D. Martin, proprietor of the Martinet Hotel at that number, and It now appears that she plunged to her death from the roof of the building while temporarily insane. Death was in- stantaneous. For the past two months the unfortu- nate woman had been under medical treatment for a nervous and mental dis- order and had been recently suffering from nervous prostration and insomnia. On Friday she took sleeping powders pre- scribed by her physician and they left her in a dazed condition. On Friday evening, and up to 1 o'clock yesterday morning, she lay on a lounge, while ner husband went to bed. He asked her several times to re- tire for the night, but she refused, saying that she was comfortable where she was, Mr. Martin fell asleep at 1 o’clock and when he awoke about an hour later he saw that his wife was not in the room. Knowing her mental condition, he arose and searched through the halls for her, but was unable to find her. He finally looked out of the window of his room and saw a white object lying on the sidewalk. Summoning Julius Liebe and M. B. Lyons, his sons-in-law, and Arthur Livesly, an employe, Mr. Martin made his way to the street, and found that the white object that he had seen was the dead body of his wife attired in her night dress. Mrs. Martin was a native of England, 57 ears old. Her daughters are Mrs. A. saacs of Seattle, Mrs. Julius Liebes, wife of the furrier; Mrs. M. B. Lyons, wife of the architect, and Miss B. Martin. David Martin is the only son. Both of the dead woman's legs were broken at the ankles and she received in- ternal injuries. She made her way to the roof from the interior of the house by a | matter of strike WAITERS PARADE IN FULL FORGE Groans for All Houses Placed Under the Boycott. Question of General Strike Yet a Matter of Deep Consideration. An uneventfus day of the strike of the Cooks’ and Waiters' Alliance was closed last night by the strikers, both male and fernale, giving a public demonstration of their numerical sirength by a night pe rade. The start was made trom the head- quarters in B'nai B'ritn Hall. Headed by a drum major wearing a cook's white cap and apron, the route was taken from the hall aiong ‘aylor street to Golden Gate evenue and then to Larkin street. By tne time the head of the procession had reached the jupction of\ Market, Hayes | and Larkin streets ine rear end was just leaving ‘tavlor street. Eacn man wore the red badge of the al- liance, waile the waitresses rode in car- riages furmshed by the Hackmen’s Union. Many tore Hags and 4 number of iran: parencies were carried. Some of Lnese icua, “Lonvicts are aiowed a day of rest; not the waiters:” “At lhe veginmog | o1 the twentietn century Wwe want six | days insteaa ot seven; “Don’t patromize | unlair nouses; all tair nouses have union | caras.”” ‘Lnese wele plentrully sprinkied | wong the hne. | Unc uransparency was draped in black. | 1t 1ead, “San krancisco has too mucn | Johnson,” and was greeted witn cheers. | Johnson is the president of the restaurant | proprietors’ orgamzation. | As each “‘umuir'¥ nouse along the line of march was passed lusses and 000ts greet- ed the proprietors, who generaily re- mained indvor At Johnsun's piace on Marget street great crowd gathered. | stalwart officers stood in tne door- | ;. the place bemg closed before the | sion reached there.

In anticipation ot trouble a large force of police, under the ‘command of Sergeant | Campbell, was held i reserve in Steven- | son streef, but the services of the patrol- men_were not needed. The erowd, though vociferous, was not disorderly and quic- ly_dispersed. So tar no action has been taken by the executive committee of the San i'ran- cisco Labor Council in relation to the matter of boycott. Secretary Rosenberg says it is a delicate question and until | the matter is thoroughly investigated matters will stand as they are. As the | case stands now the power lies in the hands of ihe executive committee to act and a general sympathetic strike or boy- | cott could be called at any moment. At the headquarters of the alliance it is claimed that thirty-six proprietors of restaurants gave in yesterday, making a total of 188 at present who have agreed | de by tht regulations of the union. | aurant men claim that with th of a few small restaurants, exception their ranks are still unbroken.

The inquest yesterday on the bodyv of Edward Regan, a prisoner from Brauch County Jail No. 2, developed a state of facts that induced the jury to censure the | management of the jail for not providing | proper medical facilities. Regan was a peddler, 24 vears old, and | was a victim of the morphine habit. On May 1, the day after he arrived at the jail, he was ‘“lined up” with other prison- ers for inspection and suddenly fell back- ward, striking his head heavily on tio | floor ‘and sustaining a fracture of the base of the skull. There #as no physician at the jail and Regan was sent to the City and County Hospital, where he died. Captain Louis Sartorius, chief officer at the jail, testified that Dr. Wilson, Assist- ant City Physician, was detailed to look after the health of the inmates, but that | it usually required two days for him to reach the jail after being summoned Ly telephone. e CALEDONIAN CLUB HAS ENJOYABLE STAG PARTY | Reception Committee Is Appointed for the Annual Games on Deco- / ration Day.

The con- tract for putting the. monument in place has been let to Newton J. Tharp, architect, and Robert I. Aitken, sculptor. It is expected that the ground will be broken by President McKinley. To exe- cute the work zccording to the accepted design the sum of $45,000 will be required. The following letter from thé commit- tee to the chairman of the Presidential reception committee is self-explanatory: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 30, 190L Hon. Irving M. Scott, Chairman of the Citi- zens’ Committee on Presidential Reception— Dear Sir: It has been definitely decided by the committee having in charge the erection of a mcnument in San Francisco to the American navy in commemoration of Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila Bay to begin work at once by letting a contract for the construction of a granite shaft with bronze emblematic figures and bas-rellefs, to be erected in the center of Union square in this city. It is fitting that such a monument should be erected in San Francisco, the chief city of the United States upon the Pacific Ocean, which was the scene of the gallant exploit of Dewey, who used on that memorgble Ist of May, 1598, as his flagship the Olympia, which was con- structed by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco; and when a short time later our naval forces needed augmentation it was the Oregon, constructed in the same yard. that made {ts matchless race down the Pacific and around the Horn, arriving in time before San- tiago to take a conspicuous and decisive part in the conflict which soon ensued.

Yours truly, JAMES D. PHEL. W. G. STAFFORD, ROBERT H. FLETCHER, Sub-committee on Monument. The original suggestion that a monu- ment should be erected in San Franciseo to_ commemorate Admiral Dewey's achlevement in Man!la Bay was made In May, 1899. Mayor Phelan, in response to the suggestion, appointed a committee of citizens. The committee as organized May 20, 1899, consisted of the following named: James D. Phelan, chairman; Claus Spreckels, vice chairman; Irving M. Scott, vice chalr- man; Captain R. H. Fleicher, U. §, A. (re- tired), secretary; E. B. Pond, treasurer; F. W. Van Sicklen, Vanderlyn Stow. R. P. Schwerin, George D. Clark, W. G. Stafford, E. W. Hop- kins, C. L. Patfon, J. D. Grant, Leon Sloss, Joseph S. Tobin, J. B. Reinstein, H. G. Platt, Colonel C. H. Murphy and Charles Bundschu. The Paid Subscriptions. Members of the committee cheerfully Nearly two weeks ago Thomas G. Jacques, a capitalist, and his wife, Caro- line E. Jacques, were arrested on com- plaint of Mrs. Margaret L. Gowdey of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is at present in the city, on the charge of kidnaping her uncle, Joseph O'Hare, an old man who had lived with the Jacques family, and when the case was called in Judge Cabaniss’ court it was continued till Tuesday next. It was then alleged by Attorney Cannon, who represents Mrs. Gowdey, that the object of kidnaping the old man was to get pos- session of his property, valued at between $20,000 and $40,000. Yesterday Mrs. Gowdey swore to a com- laint in Judge Cabaniss’ court charging Rdr. and _Mrs. Jacques and their son, Thomas G. J. Jacques, with grand lar- ceny, the amount involved being $19,000. Attorney Cannon stated that the old man O’Hare, who was absolutely incompetent to transact business, had been induced by the Jno&ueo family to transfer his account in the German Savings Bank to Thomas G. Jacques, and Jacques had the money, amounting to $8000, on there. The Jacques family had also taken the old man to the Hibernia Bank, it was L o e e e e e ) JACQUES FAMILY IS AGAIN ARR ON CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING O'HARE'S MONEY V.

To give a_semblance of sin- cerity to the affair the Jacques family had sold to the old man some prederty on Lombard street for “love and affection,” the consideration being $10. and a legal transfer of the property had been made to Mrs. Mary Jane Rodgers, wife of the Controller in Minneapolis, another niece of the old man, and her daughter Tillle. The bonds were fixed in $4000, or $1500 cash for each of the defendants. The defendants were arrested at the St. Nicholas Hotel by Policeman Laws and booked at the City Prison. George A. Knight was soon at the Hall of Justice, and at his request the defendants were brought into court, as he desired to show cause why the bail should be reduced. Knight alleged that the whole business was caused by spite because the old man O’'Hare had favored Mrs. Rodgers instead of Mrs. Gowdey. Mrs. Jacques had writ- ten to both Mrs. Gowdey and Mrs. Rod ers to come Mere, as the old man was sick, and they both came, but Mrs. Rodgers came first and took him home to Minne- her, where he now is. Mrs. Rodgers and her husband would be he: in a day or two, and Mrs. Gowdey's at- torney was aware of the fact. The Jac- ; The Wonder Millinery S0® weeweeeeee Hulse, Bradford & Co - J.

The Judge decided, on Knight's positive assurance that the defendant would be in court Tuesday afternoom, to reduce the ball to $200 each, which was promptly 1fm'!ht:omln;' and the defendants were re- e: ased.
