14 LADY FRANCIS AND STRONG THROWN 00T Ordered to Leaveat Once Their Suite at the California. Disgrace Follows Relations Between May Yohe and | an Army Man. < EAANE Major Putnam Bradlee Strong, erstwhile quartermaster U. S. A. and a son of the iate ex-Mayor Strong of New York, has been ejected from the California Hotel; he has ejected himself from the army, and | when the Nippon Maru sails for Japan | she will bear him away from San Fran- cisco. And Lady Francis Hope, better | known as May Yohe, who shared with | him the ejection from the hotel, will go | with him to the Orient. ! The major and milady were put out of | the hotel yesterday morning before 9 o'clock, and before noon he had sent a telegram to President McKinley direct | resigning from the army. A telegram from Washington says that he resigned his commission for personal and financial | reasons, and that it was no sooner re- ceived than it was accepted. Strong had orders to sail on the transport Grant for Manila next Tuesday, and the plan was for Lady Francis to sail on the Nippon Maru & day later and join him in the Far East, | but when the exposure of their relations | came he changed his plans, resigned from | the army and the two will leave here to- | gether. For several days before their secret got out Strong and Lady Francis lived at the | California Hotel under the name of Hast- | ings. They were registered as “Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hastings, Boston,” and until they began to appear together in public with a reckless aisregard of the conse- | no one believed they were any persons they seemed. Strong had n the Palace Hotel which he kept | but never used, and before she went to | lifornia_Hotel his companion reg- | t the Palace, or Strong registered | Mrs., H. L. Hastings.

The valet departed with the message and soon returned with the information that the | major and the Jady would be out of the | house by half past 10. Wrenn sent back | word that they must go at once, and then the valet told a talc of twelve trunks to bc packed and not a thing ready, so | Wrern he pair until half past 8 to | Jeave then soon after 7, but by the upper entrance, | and turning up Bush | 3 Dupont, they disap- | peared. The next heard of them was that | they were at a downtown restaurant, where they spent the day. | _In the meantime Strong’s valet and | Lady Francis’ maid took care of the bag- gage and secured an_expressman to cart away the trunks. The expressman was unknown to the porter and when the porter asked him where he was going to take the trunks he said he had been ordered not to tell. The baggage did not g0 to the restaurant, however, so it is | bable the couple intend to seek some | her place where they ean retire from | publicity until the steamer sails. Sent Fake Telegrams. It was believed that May Yohe was in England, and the identity of the woman who was masquerading as Strong’s wife was for some time in doubt, but the belief that she was in England was based upon | some egrams she had sent to friends itention of deceiving them and others who might inquire, and so let | e a clear run west as far as the | pines, where Strong has been or- | 1o duty.

When she returned from this trip she declared all differences between her and her husband had been | patched up and she intended to join him Lngland‘ soon. Before she was reported have sailed she spent considerable time in company with Strong. They were to. gether so frequentiy that the young man's attention caused some talk, which died away, however, when Strong started for the Philippines and Lady Francis an- nounced that she was going back to Eng- land. There are those in town this even- ing who were unkind enough to suggest that Lady Francis had planned the little E;;rc;pexndtfl}? announcement to deceive ple and thus cover up he Tor the West with Strong, | CcParture La in this Francis Hope while they w cit Of our success in mak- ing and fitting glasses is due to the fact that we have had twenty- five years’ experience in the optical business.

It being a “dog day,” Mr. Belasco celebrated the occasion in a befitting manner, as he thought, but now it has dawned on him that he did not en- joy the festivities. It appears that the theatrical manager has a new flat and whenever he find a pretty objet d’art he immediately plans to become its possessor. Last Monday an Ttalian peddler passed the theater with a lifelike pug dog in his hand and Belas- co purchased it. A friend asked him what he intended doing with it and he replied that he would have it guard the family jewels. “It would be a great joke, Fred,” his friend said, “if you should come home some night elated over big receipts and be confronted by this dog. Me- thinks, Fred, you would do a few back handsprings trying to save your trousers from the feroclous purp.” ‘Say. you have given me a great idea. My wife is dead scared of dogs, having VINING MAKES POVERTY PLEH WOlf at Door of Market- Street Railway Manager. RO The Supervisors’ meeting as a Board of | Equalization continued their consideration | ! celebrated at the Chutes to-morrow by of assessments yesterday afternoon. A number of artful tax-dodgers were lefi to groan under arbitrary assessments im- tarted westward | posed upon them as a matter of education, | ecoming | ang final action was taken upon petitions | of some of the large corporations. Wells, Fargo & Co. asked for the can- cellation of its franchise assessment of $750,000, and its petition was refused. The Spring Valley Water Works assessment ras reduced 1o $1,564,834 G5, eld_$196.000 in taxes, as agreed upon by the water rates vie ihe Supervisors when were fixed. E. P. Vining appeared tc oppose any in- crease in the arbitrary assessment of $2000 upon his personal proprty. In. fact, h. insisted that if all his personal preperty were sold and he realized $§1000 on it he would be a very lucky man. “Will you tell the board of what your property consists?” asked Assessor Dodge. “You mean of what it consisted March replied Vining. Market-street railway system_ proceeded to state under cath that on March 1 he had the furniture in his house, $9 08 in the bank, $1% 45 in cash in his purse and noth- ing more. He said furniture and ail was not worth more than $1000. The arbitrary assessment was allowed Lo stand. Struggling Firms of Lawyers. Reuben H. Lioyd appeared for Lloyd & Wood. An arbitrary assessment of $5000 on personal property of the firm had been made. Lloyd declared that there were no solvent credits to be assessed and no money in the bank. The library was the individual property of himself and Mr. Wood, not the property of the firm. The assessment was not changed. Charles J. Heggerty of Knight & Heg- gerty, assessed 56000 on personal_property, had a similar tale of prosperous poverty. He sald the firm’s personal property was not worth more than $00—no money, no solvent credits, old furniture and musty lumber for a library. The assessment was let stand, and for his pains an assessment of $500 was placed on Heggerty’s own pe: sonal property, which Assessor Dodge dl covered he had overlooked. Supervisor Tobin moved to deny the pe- tition of the Hibernia Kank. Then he e plaired, as Banker Tobin, that the bank’ petition was only formal. as cases were pendng in the courts which would settle ihe question of the validity of the assess- ments, amounting to ,000, which the bank asked to kave canceled. Tobin’s mo- tion prevailed. Ignatz Steinhart had been assessed $12,- 000 on his personal proé)ertg'. He was will- lnf it should stand and didn’t object to its being raised to $20,000, the figure of last year. Mr. Steinhart couldn't remember how much mcney he had March 1 or the amount of his cclvent credits, but admit- ted that the as-essable solvent credits amounted to more than $30,000. Asked if $50,000 would be too high, he said it would be out of proportion to what other men | are assessed. The board raised his as- | sessment to $40,000. Brown Compelled to Wait. Supervisor Braunhart wanted the United States, regmmed by Assistant District Attorney McKinlay, to wait while Abraham Brown had his say, but Brown to wait. McKinlay explained that forty-two acres on the ocean beach, of the Laguna de la Merced tract, had been con- demned by the Government, the decree being made before March 1. The assess- ment lot $42,162 would therefore have to be canceled. Abraham Brown's chance came next, and .ltboug‘. he had filed a statement that $1500 was the value of the personal prop- erty of the estate of Louls Brown he had to admit that stocks had been sold for $35,000 since March 1.

He dropped a plece of wooden money into the telephone box and secured his wife's ear. “Hello—Is that you, Julie? Yes; well, vou ought to see the dog I bought to guard the house. It's a beaut from Mon- tana. “You don’t want the nasty brute in the house? Well, I do, and you know.who's boss. Now, I want you to send to the market and get a couple of tenderloin steaks for him.

Good-by.” Mrs. Fred Belasco, better known to lo- cal theater goers as Juliet Crosby, await- ed the coming of the despised dog with trepidation. She feared the animal would tear the curtains and play havoc with the sofa cushions, and she was planning how to rid herself of it. Sure enough a small boy with a big basket presented himself at the door and B T e e WILL GELEBRATE - BASTILE'S FALL French Residents Pre- pare to Honor Re- public’s Birthday.

He said that the Supervisors made that agreement un- der the supposition that the water com- pany would accept rates yielding 5 per cent, but now the company was in court seeking to get returns of 7 per cent. The reduction prayed for was granted. Franchise Assessment Stands. Alfred Sutro appeared for Wells, Fargo & Co., asking the cancellation of the fran- chise assessment of $750,000. He ed that the express company, incorporated in Colorado, has no assessable franchise in California, and said the assessment, if al- lowed to stand, would be opposed in court and $30,000 in taxes would again be tied up. Assessor Dodge pointed ~out that to grant the company’s petition would be to abandon the city’s contention in the case now pending before the Supreme Court and to disregard the able brief of City and County Attorney. Lane. now on file in that case.” The board denied the petition. A. M. Simpson of the Simpson Lumber Company asked that an assessment of $12,300 on boats plying in the Puget Sound be canceled, as_taxes were being paid in ‘Washington under a su{areme Court_decl- slon there. Dodge declared that United States court decisions had established the principle that vessels were assessable at the place of registration, but the board, recognizing that a hardship was being in- flicted, recommended leniency, and Dodge canceled the assessment. Simpson's per- sonal arbitrary assessment of $202,500 was referred to the Assessor. The Giant Powder Company's assess- ment of $150,000 was not changed. No_one appeared for H. E. Huntington, and Braunhart wanted to raise his assess. ment from $1,000,000 to $1,250,000. djcurnment was taken till 1 o’clock this afternoon, when such action may be taken if Huntington is not represented.

Mrs. Belasco accepted the joke and quickly thought of a wafl to turn the tables on her husband. She put on her hat and going to a jewelry store secured a chain and collar as per instructions, di- recting the clerk to make the bill out to Mr. Belasco. When the latter arrived home he inquired about his purchase and was calmly informed by his wife that she had had the boy place the canine on the back porch.

Books of the Mint Are Found to Be Correct in All Details. s “We are continuing our investigations but have nothing for publication,” was the reply of Director of the Mint Roberts yes- terday evening when he was questioned as to the developments in the recent rob- bery of $30,000 from the vaults of Uncle Sam'’s money, making institution. Director Roberts said that he had received a tele- gram from the Secretary of the Treasury announcing that the books of the Treas- ury Department tallied on June 24 with those of the Mint here. “That settles all doubt,” said Roberts, “as to the possibility of a clerical error being responsible for the missing money.” Secret Service Agent Hazen and his as- sistants are trying to locate the woman with_whom Dimmick, the chief clerk ‘of the Mint, is supposed to haves been on very friendly terms. Superintendent Leach denies that there is any woman in the case, but Secret Service Agent Hazen is working on lines independent from these of the Mint officials. The_secret service officers are satisfled that Dimmick was very friendly with a certain blonde widow, and are now en- deavoring to locate her. Dimmick refused yesterday to make any statement in re gard to the allegation that he was atte: tive to a gay widow, but repeated his fa- miliar answer, “I will talk when the time comes."” The treasury officials are determined that the thief of the gold sacks shall not escape punishment. In certain quarters there seems a disposition to make good the shortage and let the matter drop and be forgotten. The Government, however, will not be satisfled with such a plan. Not only must the shortage be made good, but the thieving employe of the Mint must be brought to the bar of justice. The investigating officers are not {alk- ing for publication, and the fact that no tain statements that the hunt for the rob- ber is to be ahandoned. It is kaown, however, that Secret Service Agent Hazen is in possession of valuable testimony and that an arrest will surely follow the pres- ent investigation. Expert Waltz has made a report to Di- rector Roberts as to the condition of the locks on the gold vaults of the Mint. They alone know whether it is possible for the vaults to be opened by a man partly fa- miliar with the combinations. The work of counting the gold coin in the Mint is progressing rapidly. Nearly $5,000,000 was counted yesterday, the in- spection proceeding at the rate of $15,000 a minute. No shortage was found in any of the sacks inspected. Superintendent Leach yesterday gave orders that the doors of the Mint should Dbe closed promptly at 4 p. m. Hitherto the large doors have not been closed until the last employe has left the building. Yester- day the big doors were shut at 4 p. m. and the heavy chain was attached on the in- side. Every time an employe desired to leave the building the attendant was obliged to take down the chain, unlock and open the doors. MONEYS FOR FINES ARE NOT DEPOSITED DAILY Treasurer Brooks Says Police Court Clerks Are Still Violating the Charter. City Treasurer Brooks complains that the money collected for fines in the Police Courts is not turned in dally, as the char- ter provides. The money is turneg over by the varfous clerks of the Police Court to the County Clerk, who then deposits it in the city treasury. Yesterday the sum of $1647 50 was so deposited, this being the first since June 27, when $75 was turned in. Treasurer Brooks ascribes the delay in making deposits to the congestion of cash bail, which in some cases goes to pay the fines' of persons convicted in the Po- lice Courts. Brooks believes thaf unless the law is complied with serious complica- tions will ensue, as was the case with J. J. Sullivan, against whom certain irregu- larities were charged.

As the first result of the joint efforts of the State Board of Barber Examiners and the local Board of Health to improve the sanitary conditions of barber shops and the so-called barber colleges, W. H. Dun- nagan, proprietor of the San Francisco Barber College at 741A. Howard street, an- nounced to the board yesterday his will- ingness to go out of the business. “I can’t stand the pressure,” sald Dun- nagan, when he called at the office of the Commissioners. “It is too much for me. T'll sell the whole caboodle for $50.” “If you attempt to run the same kind of a place anywhere in this State we will go_after you,” said Examiner Fleming. Dunnagan left and is now seeking a pur- chaser for a lot of anclent chairs, towels and other paraphernalia used in the dis- semination of knowledge of the tonsorial art in his establishment. Shortly after his departure one of his female graduates ap- peared and presented a certificate sworn to before a notary alleging that she had been three years in the business. So con- tradictory were her statements that the board demanded a list of all places in which she had worked, and will not issue a certificate to her unless she can give evidence of ker ability. The good work of the State Board of Barber Examiners in closing up one of the ‘‘colleges” is to be continued until all | are eliminated from the profession. In this | action they will have the assistance of the State and local Boards of Health, which by the Barbers’ Examining Board as to | | the need of proper rules and regulations | | to be applied to all places where barbering is practiced. Last week a list of suggestions to form the basis of an ordinance was presented | to President Williamson of the Board of Health and has been under consideration since. These suggestions were published in_fuil in The Cali. Some modifications and additions to_the proposed rules were suggested by Dr. Wil- liamson and his associates at a conference held in his office vesterday with Examin- ers Calish and Fleming. These modifica- tions are mainly of a technical nature. Consideration” was given to the practice of some barbers in continually using one towel on the headrest of the chair. Dr. Williamson said this was one of the most potent cause of the dissemination of cutaneous diseases and was a practice that should be immediately stopped. Considerable time was spent in exam- ining sterlizing appliances. A serles of visits is to be made to various barber shops in the city with a view of compar- ing results, so that by the next meeting of the,Board of Health the matter may be placed in shape for legal action. The date of these visits and the places to be visited will not be announced beforehand. Dr. Willlamson said that the agitation for cleanliness and sanitary appliances was already apparent. ““Mayor Phelan has transmitted me a letter,” he said, “in which the barber who wrote it complained against the restric- tion of using a towel only on one face. Ha says it will ruin his business.” “As soon.as we get through the rush of the registration and examination of bar- bers we intend to devote every spare mo- ment of our time to seeing that the rules, when finally adopted, are carried into ef- fect.” This was the final declaration of President Calish, in which he was sup- In the meanwhile the Board of Health is conducting a quiet inspection into each barber shop and a mass of data is bein: accumulated by the inspectors. This wil be placed at the disposal of the State Board of Barber Examiners for sugges- tion and comparison. The demand for certificates still con- tinues and customers are now beginning to look for the chair card and certificate wlhlch each barber is now required to dis- play. The Crystal Hot Sea Baths.

In addition to getting an accurate description of him, Captain Seymour and his men have recovered a lot of silver stolen by him from a house on Laguna street. The valuable plate was disco ered yesterday in a pawnshop on ClL | street, near Kearny, where it had been sold by the crook for about a third its value. As the pawnbroker has furnished the police with an accurate deseription of the fellow, they are confldent of shortly landing bim behind prison bars.
