Early in May Miss Rodkinson arrived in | this city and registered at the Palace Ho- tel. ing personality had their effect on the ho- | tel reporters and the lady was written up at length as one of the greatest writers of the day. Some of the morning papers published the pictures of Miss Rodkinson and also told at length of her career in literary circles from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the border line of Canada to the surf-swept ghores of the Mexican Guif.

Miss Rod- as supposed to be familiar with the mysterious writings of Babylon and | learned men of all sects sought the Palace Hctel to make her acquaintance. Furnished with letters of introduction | to some of the most prominent men in! San Francisco, Miss Rodkinson did not want for attention. In fact there was a | regular scramble as to who should en- | tertain her, but those who had studied | the lore of the Talmud did not dare to c learned maiden the East. They could only sit on divans and listen to her recital of the mysteries of Babylon and Chaldea. Many in this city listened to the story of the young lady, who had copies of the translation of the Talmudic writings for sale, and _liberal subscribers were not wanting. Heads of congregations, finan- clers, business men, Jawyers, doctors and representative men of ail the professions lent their aid to the work of the self-ad- vertised literary woman, and subscrip- tions flowed in for the English versions of the lore of ancient days. Not Wholly Literary. But in the literary armor of Miss Rod- kinson there was a flaw. There were whispers in clubs and other places where men do congregate that the fair trans- lator of the Talmud was not solely de- voted to literary pursuits. Stories were | told of how Miss Rodkinson found time to attend gay suppers in French restaur- ants and that she could “draw to a flush” in the game of poker as well as any vet- eran in the city. In the smoking room of a prominent club a story was told of how the fair Miss Rodkinson was entertained by a prominent_merchant, who afterward en- gaged In ame of fmker with his guest, and that $he host left the table minus many hundreds of dollars, which went into the pocketbook of the devotee of Talmudic lore. Since May 14, when Miss Rodkinson ar- rived at the Palace Hotel, until yester- callers at the hostelry and it has not been an unusual ocflxrrence for the lady to be escorted to well-known restaurants to dinner every evening. A Day’s Experience. Whether the fair Miss Rodkinson will be a “good comrade” to the Bohemian spir- its and admirers of Talmudic lore who live in this city is doubtful after the lady’s experience of yesterday. In the morning Miss Rodkinson left the Palace Hotel and took rooms at the Cal- ifornia. She told the attaches of the Palace that she was tired of the monot- ony of the place and desired a change. | The bellboys loudly lamented the de- parture of Miss Rodkinson, for she was looked upon by the lads’ who answer | calls as a “good spender” and liberal in Hipe.” A few days ago. according to the state- r Game of Poke d wines of rarity were quaffed during the meal. The expenses of the eveni were materially added to by the result o the game which followed the dinner. Before leaving the Palace Hotel Miss Rodkinson took one of the clerks into her confidence and asked a favor of him. Acquaintances she had.made at the Pal- ace Hotel were asked by the lady to call upon her at her new quarters, but the clerk was told that if he knew of “‘any £90d people” to “bring them along. “If you know of any of the swell crowd who like a game of poker don’t forget me,” was the parting remark of the lady who had the reputation of being the most learned translator of the Talmud on this continent. Scarcely had Miss Rodkinson settled in Ler new quarters in the California Hotel When she.was called up by telephone. She was informed over the wire that the party talking to_her was Dr. J. M. Rivas of Honolulu and that he bore a note of introduction to her from Charles F. Hern- len of Yokohama, who had met her three weeks ago at the Palace. The gentleman told the lady over the phone that he had arrived the day be- fore from the islands of the Pacific and MISS ROSAMOND RODKINSON, WHO DEVOTES HER TIME TO “SOCIAL” AND “LITERARY” PURSUITS. —_—_— was en route to Europe. He desired Miss Rodkinson to dine with him that night. Without even knowing the gentleman at the other end of the 'phone, Miss Rod- kinson agreed to dine with him, saying she would cacel another dinner engage- ment. Dinner for Two. At 6:15 p. m. Dr. Rivas called at the California Hotel for Miss Rodkinson and in a short space of time the two were seated at dinner in a fashionable restau- rant. With each course, served in the best style of the chef of the establish ment, the conversation of the tw heightened. ration for his fair guest and the lady unblushingly admitted that she had found her affinity. The recital of owne ship of valuable sugar stocks in the H: walian Islands and a contemplated pleas- ure trip to Burope and around the world won the heart of Miss Radkinson. Yire the black coffee was served tie host had proposed marriage to the lady Wwhose life was supposed to be spent in the study of the Talmud and in devotion to her aged father. with whom she col- lahorated in literary pursuits. “alling for pen, ini and paper, the Ha- wallan medico asked that his fair guest clinch the bargain and sign a promise to marry him on the morrow. The challenge Wwas accepted and the following document, written by the doctor, was signed by the disciple of the scribes of ancient days: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 3, 1901 To Dr. J. M. Rivas of Honolulu, H. I, U. S. A.: In response to your proposal made to me this evening at dinner at the Poodle Dog Restaurant, that I marry you to-morrow, I hereby agree that I will marry you to-morrow, June 4, at 2 p. m. ROSAMOND RODKINSON, California Hotel. Miss Rodkinson signed the document, and to make sure of the date, inserted the " Atter ihg Sifner the palr took a d e dinner the pair took a drive to the Cliff House. On the drive the pro- posed trip to Europe was discussed and the details of a wedding and an engage- ment ring and the bride’s trousseau were entered into. ‘When Dr. Rivas told his fair guest that in his island home it was not considered ;‘g80od form” to be ignorant of poker play- ing Miss Rodkinson enthusiastically- i formed him that she was ‘a thorougi bred at the game." Just to show her skill at the game of poker a deck of cards was called Tur aud in the-quictude of a private room Miss Rodkinson showed that in her study of the Talmud she had not forgotten the national game of America. Miss Rodkinson Won. Although her companion was supposed to be an expert, Miss Rodkinson invaria- bly held the winning hand, and in the space of an hour she was declared to be able to hold her own with any of the pit against her in his island home, should she deign to honor him with her hand and want of fortune, During the evening Miss Rodkinson told her companion of the many adventures in her career of the past six years. She admitted she was engaged to be married to “George Liebman,” a traveling man of Chicago. " and wanfed to telegraph to “George” the news of her forthcoming marriage. Other disclosures were also made during the moonlight drive back to town, but the owner of the ear they were whispered into promised never to re- veal the secrets. - Miss Rodkinson told of her aged parent in New York, who is “one of the greatest ments made by Miss Rodkinson herself, | she was the sole guest at a dinner given at a prominent rotisserie' by a merchant | prince of the town. The host has a repu- ' tation as a chef at his club, and the story ! is that on the occasion of his entertain- | ing Miss Rodkinson he descended to the | kitchen of the restaurant and gersonally' Eunervls&d the preparation of the meal a eux. .

GHARGE NGHINST * NEALL SEROUS Federal Grand Jury Or- ders the Issuance of the Indictment. —_—— Dismissed Captain Accused of Forging Name of Pay- master Coxe. —— The Federal authorities in this city. made public yesterday the indictment found by the Federal Grand Jury against Lieutenant J. M. Neall and upon which he was arrested in Butte, Montana, last Sunday. The complaining witness is John Cran- son, a private in Troop B, Fourth Cav- alry, United = States army. Cranson’s story, as related to the Grand Jury, is that on June 10, 1898, he paid 1o Lieuten- ant Neall $460 on deposit at the Presidio in this city and received as evidence of the transaction the following paper. $460....PRESIDIO, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 10, 1898. Recelved this day of private John Cranson, Company B, Fourth Regiment, United States army, for deposit under sections 1305 and 1306, Revised Statutes, four hundred and sixty dol- ars. Attest: J. M. NEALL, First Lieutenant, Fourth Cavalry, Command- ing Troop. F. M. COXE, Lieutenant Colonel and Dep- uty Paymaster General, U. 5. A. The indictment charges that Neall “willfully, knowingly. unlawtully, felori- ously and falsely” forged the name of I. M. Coxe to the paper. After depositing the money, Cranson went to the Philippines and in the due course of routine the certificate of deposit reached army headquarters at Washing- covered. The prosecution was instituted here by order of the United States Altor- | Captain Neall, having been dismissed from the army, is beyond the jurisdiction of the laws governing conduct of commis- sioned officers. At the time of the court martial of Neall he turned over to the authorities at the Presidio $4767, to cover his shoriage. The officers returned to him $460, c'aiming | that Neall had paid in too much money. As the list of shortages was made by Neall, it is probable that he !ncluded the $460 owing to the soldler, Cranson, in the amount. He asserts that he is innoncent of the charge, and probably relies on the fact of the officers returning the money 1o prove it. MARY REDMOND LOSES HER BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT Fails to Respond When the Case Is Called and It Is Dis- missed. Miss Mary Redmond has lost her suit brought to recover $10,000 from the estate of the late Thomas H. Carter under the terms of an alleged compromise of her suit against the deceased for breach of promise. Some months prior to Carter's death, which occurred in August of 1898, Miss Redmond sued him for breach of promise. She alleged that in July of 11894 Carter, who was a wealthy car builder of Newark, Alameda County, proposed marriage to her and that she accepted his proposal. Subsequently, she alleges, Carter, without cause, refused to marry her. The suit was finally dis- missed and Miss Redmond asserted that she had been paid $2000 by Carter and, in addition, he had signed an agreement to the effect that he would bequeath her his well. n%’???&u’“caner’s will was filed, however, here was no mention made therein of ;mess Redmond and she filed sult against | Martin Carter, executor of decedent's | will, to recover $10,000, which she alleged he promised to bequeath her. When the case was called for hearing at a recent date counsel representln% Miss Redmond demanded a jury trial. The court ordered a jury summoned for yesterday, but | when the case was called neither Miss | Redmond nor her counsel were present in court. A motion to dismiss the action was then made by the attorney repre- senting the executor of decedent’s will, which was granted. ———————————— PREPARING TO GET JUDGE NOYES TO COURT He May Be Cited to Appear for Con- tempt as Early as { August. o Before United States District Jndge de | Haven and United States Circuit Judge | Merrow, sitting in the United States Circuit | Court of Appeals yesterday, F. D. Madi- son, representing E. S. Pillsbury, amicus curiae, called the attention of the court to the lateness of the date set for the appearance of Judge Noyes, Thomas J. Geary and United States District Attor- | ney J. L. Woods of Alaska to show cause why they should not be punished for con- tempt, and suggested that in case any of the parties cited should fail to appear at that time it would be too late to send a warrant of arrest after them this year. In view of such a possible contingency he suggested that the order to show cause be redated so as to compel the attendance of the persons named during the August term of the court. The matter was taken under advisement. and the court ad- journed until the first Monday in July. o e A e 4 NEW RULE ANENT CASHING OF POSTAL MONEY ORDERS T.. H. Bricker, Acting Chief Postoflice Inspector, announced yesterday that the practice of paying postal money orders at auy Presidential office or branch had been discontinued on the suggestion of the Comptroller at Washington. Hereafter orders will be cashed only at the offices Cesignated in the orders. Mr. Bricker said that this change will cause some inconvenience. but that the postal authorities will endeavor to have the proper legislation at the next session. of Congress to enable the old practice to he resumed tor the accommodation of the public. —_——— Thursday, June 6th, I am glad to inform the public that the greatest Clothing Assignee Sale will start Thursday.

Captain Seymour and his men, after a thorough investigation, are satisfied that revenge and not robbery was the motive for the brutal murder of Robbie Hislop. After running down every clew and closely questioning the people who live in the immediate vicinity of the tragic oc- | currence the head of the detective depart- ment has come to the conclusion that a burglar did not commit the awful crime. ‘The condition of the house, according to the police, when the body was discovered, bears out the theory that robbery was | not the motive. While the bureau draw- ers were pulled out and the closets ap- | parently ransacked the lice are satis- fied that this was done in order to con- ceal the real motive for the terrible deed. Yesterday Detective Tom Gibson located the man who killed the chickens in the vacant lot opposite the Hislop residence on Decoration day. His name is O. M. Berry and he lives at 100% Haight street. A yellow sheet, in its mad endeavor to mislead the police, claimed that the chick- ens were killed on the afternoon of the murder and that the hatchet which was used in decapitating the fowl was the one which the detectives found contiguous to the Hislop residence several hours after the crime was committed. In a statement to Detective Gibson yes- terday Mrs. Berry, in the absence of her husband, who is a Wells, Fargo & Co. messenger, declared that it was on Decor- ation day—five days after the commission of the brutal crime—that the chickens were killed. She showed the detective the hotchet which was used in putting the chickens to death, and thoroughly ex- plained the circumstances attending the inclaent. * Ae far as the police are concerned they are as far from a solution of the mystery as they were when the case was first re- Rorted. Unless the murderer surrenders imeelf or some tangible clew is obtained the awful murder of the unfortunate boy will forever remain a mystery. CLAYTON CLAINS BE 15 INNOGENT Arrest. of the Defaulting Clerk of Transport Sheridan. PSS SN Richard Clayton, the absconding clerk to Quartermaster Captain Miles of the transport Sheridan, who disappeared last Saturday with $1000 of the ship's funds, was arrested late yesterday afternoon by Secret Service Agent George Hazen. He | was found stupidly drunk in the house of a friend on Castro street. After being taken to the City Prison Clayton begged Desk Sergeant Mellody to give him a drink. “Please see that I get a drink of whisky,” he piteously pleaded, as tears coursed down his cheeks. “To be locked up without being given some liquor means that I will never be able to appear in court to defend the charge that has been placed against me.” Clayton's request for whisky fell upon deaf ears, and without much ceremony he was thrown into a cell. “I did not steal the funds of the trans- port.” he declared later to a reporter. “Whoever says I did lles. I don’t care to discuss the matter now, but when .the case is heard in court I will be able to show that I am innocent of any wrong- doing. “Sfi'\ce I left the transport I have been on a spree and did not know the authori- ties were looking for me. Had I known that they were searching for me I would have lost no time in surrendering my- self.” Despite Clayton’s statement the Federal authorities claim that they have a clear case against him. When he left the trans port he was accompanied by F. L. O’'Neil, who acted as his assistant during the last trip of the Sheridan. They rented a room in a lodging house on Third street, but slept there only one night. Clayton says he became so drunk that he forgot where he roomed, and, after wandering about the city “drinking his head off,” as he ex- pressed it, he went to the house on Castro street where he was arrested. It would be pretty tough on some men if others did the right thing by them. ADVERTISEMENTS. of no reductions.
