0 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1901. TALENTED GIRL RETURNS WITH TMANY HIGH HONORS Empire City Puts Its Stamp of Approval Upon Miss Hassenmuiler’s Work. ISS HARRIET JOSEPHINE HASSENMULLER is another \ fair California girl to be added \/ to the list of those who have gone East to study and have come back home covered with honors. Miss Hassemmuller has just returned after a six months’ course in one of the finest schools of elocution in the Empire City. She graduated with highest honors, and aithough the metropolis made her all sorts of tempting offers to remain she felt she must come home to show her friends what she can do. Miss Hassenmuller has studied elocu- tion because of her inborn love for it. Al- though extremely talented, she does not intend to go upon the stage. She will, however, appear at some of the swell charity affairs of the winter. [ R THIEVES RIFLE CASH RERISTER Bold Crime Committed in American Tea Store. s Acting Chief of Detectives Norman and his best men are looking for a brace of clever thieves who broke open the cash register in the store of the American Tea Company at 35% Hayes street yesterday and got away with about $48. The crime was one of the most daring reported to the police for some time. Shortly after noon a well dressed young man approached the entrance to the store and calling the clerk, whose name is John McWilllams, asked him to tell him which car line it was necessary for him to take to reach Laurel Hill Cemetery. McWilliams started to instruct the stranger as to the quickest way to reach the cemetery, and after bidding him good- by returned to his place behind the counter. Shortly after the stranger had left, Mec- Williams discovered that the cash register had been pried open, presumably with a jimmy, and the confents taken. Realiz- ing that he had been cleverly duped the astonished clerk lost no time in telephon- ing to Acting Chief of Detectives Nor- , apprising him of the bold theft. T Beveral detectives were at once sent to the store and after a short investigation they became convinced that the weil dressed stranger had a confederate, who managed to slip into the store while the clerk was engaged outside and broke open the register. The police have a good description of the man who spoke to McWilllams and every effort is being made to run him down. TALENTED SAN FRANCISCO GIRL WHO WON HONORS IN THE EAST. PAY THOUSANDS FOR THE CLAS San Franciscans the Pur- chasers of Washing- ton Mines. . SR Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 15.—San Francisco min- ing men, including Joseph R. Kendall, George C. Walker and J. Scot Ecker, have purchased for $100,000 twenty-three mining claims located on Red Mountain near Sky- komish in Snohomish County. Red Mountain is 1500 feet high, with veins of quartz carrying gold, silver and copper running from one side to the other. The claims were located and sold by John C. Quinlaven. The purchasers are all practical mining men. They have in- corporated the Kendall Red Mountain Mining and Development Company to work the mines and also to generate eles o tric power for mining and sawmill poses. For this purpose they will utilize a large waterfall formed by the outlet of Crater Lake in that vicinity. Crater Lake is 4500 feet above the sea level and its outlet drops fifty feet from a precipice. Teachers’ Certificates.

NETTIE.CRAVEN AGAIN IN GOURT | Lawyers Who Represent Her Move for New Trial. Judge Troutt Will Hear the Case Despite Affidavit of Prejudice. Sadhgh o) | Judge Troutt has refused to grant the motion of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven for a transfer of her cases against the Fair es- tate to some other department of the Su- perior Court of this county. Judge Troutt | denied the motion for a transfer yester- | day, after listening to the reading of an affidavit of prejudice by Judge James G. aguire, attorney for Mrs. Craven, just | previous to his making a motion for a | new trial. | The affidavit filed by Mrs. Craven, stat- ing that Judge Troutt was biased is | founded on the belief that in passing| judgment upon her suit for a family al- | |lowance from the Fair estate he formed {and expressed an opinion prejudicial to her interests and that therefore he could | not treat the testimony offered in sup- i port of the motion for a new trial of the | case decided by Judge Slack four years | ago in an impartial manner. ption was taken by Maguire to i of the court on the charge of | prejudice and he asked for ten days to | prepare a bill of exceptions. { Mrs. Craven's new counsel then made his motion for a new trial of the suit to | quiet title to the properties on Mission | street and Pine street. Maguire moved for a new trial on the following grounds: | Insufficiency of evidence; that the decision of the court and judgment is against law; | errors in law, irregularity in proceedings }and newly discovered evidence. In support of his plea that the decision of the court and the judgment were against law he said: The decision was against the lasv because the suit was commenced by the special ad- ministrators. The law does not devolve upon | them the power to commence suits or actlon to quiet title. The function of a special adminis- trator is to take possession of and hold the property during the probating of _the Their duties are to care for and preserve the ty and not to enter into suits to quiet | | | | prope title. Maguire also laid particular stress upon the introduction of the lead pencil will as evidence during the trial of the famous case. He sald: | That document had no connection with the case, Mrs. Craven had no interest in the docu- . which did not make her a devisee or y introduced olely because it was found in her pessession, | and it was introduced only that it might be | proven false. | Maguire reviewed the proceedings of the former trial in his arguments, going over | the case in a thorough manner and ad- | vancing many points in favor of his mo- tion. | _He spent the entire afternoon talking in | support of the latest move of the lawyers | for Mrs. Craven and at 5 o'clock Judge [ Troutt continued the case until Monday |at 2 p. m. | Mrs. Craven appeared in the courtroom | attired in black. She appeared -to be in good health and gave no evidence of the strain to which she has been subjected | for the last few vears. NO FOG. NO DISAGREEABLE WEATHER. All That Is Left Behind You When You Board the Ukiah Excur- sion Train. The early rains have laid the dust; the heat of the summer months is no longer with us; the atmosphere is fresh and in- vigorating, so that there is no more de- lightful time of the year to visit the coun- The varied colors that nature puts on ‘at this time give an added charm and the opportunity for a most delightful trip is offered by the California Northwestern Railway.

Johnston, 422 Drumm street, and steal- ing two gold rings and a purse containing $4, appeared before Judge Conlan yester- day. It was shown that after commit! the burglary Stariz called upon Johnston, admitting his guilt and offering to return 50. The Judge reduced the charge to petty larceny and sentenced Sta to serve six months in the County Jall. e ey Cooper Makes Appeal. - “Sir” Harry Westwood Cooper, alias Ernest Moore Chadwick, filed notice of appeal to the Supreme Court erday at the County Clerk’s office, of Justice, against his couviction and sentence by Judge Lawlor on October b on the charge of Hdrgerv for sending a' £ teiegram to #Miss Norine Schneider. He was sen- tenced to ten years in San Quentin. is contended that the information on which | he was charged was fatally defective. Morgan’s Cook Left Behind. Henry Lyon, a colored man, who came | to this city as second cook in J. Plerpont Morgan's special train, was convicted Judge Conlan yutaflux of the charge 3 violating the rark ordinance. He was sfiulhnced to six months in the County W. H. COBB IS SELECTED AS WELLS’ Indiscreet Talks of the Nominee Alarm and Demoralize Supporters of Ticket. : Ex-Assemblyman W. H. Cobb is appointed to take charge of Asa R. Wells. It is Cobb’s duty to see that the venerable nominee does =t talk too much and tell all he knows ous bosses and convention fixers. Ccbb enters upon the duti end somewhat unique office to-day. EPUBLICANS seem to be thoroughly disgusted over the peculiar antics of the nominee for Mayor on their ticket. He ap- points secret meetings with no- torious bosses and then reyuests the newspaper reporters to make no mentioa of the fact that the bosses were present. The result of his weakness and indecisien is demoralization in the ranks of his would-be supporters. Other candidates on the ticket are breaking away and striking out for themselves. ; The candidates have little confidence in the campaign committee of which Max Goldberg is the chief manager. It is true that assessments according to agreement are being paid in and there must be considerable sum of money in the cu mittee’s possession at this nominees, apprehending that the monej already_collected may not be expended to their advantage, are making independent arrangements to win the favor of voters. Some money is to be put in to I Wells. It is hoped by such means th the bad effect of his “‘confidential” talks may be counteracted. The managerent of Wells' campaign is to be entrusted to ex-Assemblyman W. H. Cobb, who is a candidate for Supervisor on the Republi- can ticket. Rooms on the second floo~ of the Grand Hotel have been engaged for the use of Mr. Cob and his assistant, Jacob Steppacher. Everything possible will be done by these managers to place Wells in a creditable light before the voters. He will be advised to say nothing to news- paper men or others regarding his private conferences with Goldberg, Burns an Herrin. Thomas P. Riordan, chairman of the late Republican convention, is somewhat disgusted and demoralized.” At one time he was willing to pay $500 out of his own pocket if Wells wouid get off the ticket. Riordan’s disgust is not limited to the head of the ticket. At last accounts ne was circulating the cards of P. Boland, Democratic nominee for Public Admin- istrator. This action is remarkable, as John Farnham's nomination by the Re- publicans is generally applauded as one of the best selections made by the con- vention. Riordan’s open defection adds to the confusion and distress in the camp. Clerks Make Up Ticket. Many of the clerks in the City Hall, who believe that the law of self preserva- tion should be carefully observed in elec- tion times, have made up a ticket for themselves. They are advocating Tobin for Mayor, Lackmann for Sheriff, Mahony for County - Clerk and the Democratic nominees for Supervisors. The Liquor Dealers’ Association will not take definite action before October 24, It is yet an open question whether there wiil be any indorsement for Mayor. General inquiry along the line of wholesalers and retailers establishes the bellef that the contest for indorsement will at once nar- row down to Tobfn and Schmitz. Ten days ago many of the liquor dealers, if not really all who are identifled with the protective organizations, were confident that Schmitz would be indorsed, but since that time a change of sentiment has taken place. They concede that Tobin stock is going up and that they might find themselves in an awkward position if they declared against him. Conservative and far seeing merchants in this line of traf- fic are advising against the indorsement of any nominee for Mayor. The Republicans will hold a ratification meeting at Metropolitan Temple this evening. All the candidates are expected to be present. Asa R. Wells, the nominee for Mayor, will probably speak at some length in explaining the policy he will endeavor to pursue in the event of his election. ————— Dr. O’Donnell’s Fate. Dr. C. C. O’'Donnelll stands a Very poor chance of having his name as an inde- pendent candidate for Mayor placed” on the ballots to be used at the coming elec- tion if the testimony given by Registrar Walsh and Deputy Registrar Zemansky yesterday before Judge Seawell is as strong as it appears. The Board of Election Commissioners refused to place O’Donnell’s name upon the ticket on the ground that he had not a sufficlent number of signatures on his petition to be placed thereon. O’Donnell forthwith sued for a writ of mandate, compelling thel "zo?.rd to give his name a place on the ticket. The reports of the'clerks in the Regis- trar's office were read in court yesterday by Zemansky, and they showed that O’Donnell’s petition contained the of only 1282 electors, instead 1955 names required by law. The petition consisted of eleven vol- umes, and in each the report showed that, while the number of names was large enough, & number of the signers were not registered and therefore were not qual- ified voters. While Zemansky was read- ing over the petitions he discovered that since leaving the Registrar’s office they had been tampered with. It was learned that Dr. O'Donnell had taken the books from the courtroom and endeavored to strengthen his case by adding his name to three of the books in places where he had failed to do so.- 2 ‘Whether or not O'Donnell's name will be dplzu:ed on the ticket will be decided by Judge Seawell this morning. —_——— McDougall Is Indorsed. The Journeymen Marble Cutters and Finishers adopted the following resolu- tions at their last meeting: ‘Whereas, The exigencies of politics have con- terred a singular and distinguished honor upon our craft in selecting for the important posi- tion of Treasurer our respected and esteemed brother, Jobn E. McDougald; and, ‘Whereas, Such selection having been made at a time of great industrial strife by the pow- erful Republican party indicates that a wise and conservative trades unionist can command the respect and esteem of all sections of our people, and that equity and justice forming the redominant features of his character, are ab- solutely necessary to the proper discrimination of the rights of the employer and the employed; be it Resolved, That this - assoclation of Marble Cutters and Finishers tender its united support to Brother John E.. McDougald for the office of City Treasurer, and we further commend his honesty, sterling integrity and patriotism to all having ‘the welfare and prosperity of our city at heart, be assured from long years of per- sonal contact that the best Interests of our peo- ple will be conserved by his election. Non-Partisan Indorsements. The Bibo-Lorenzo wing of the Non- Partisan party held a convention last night in Lodge Hall, 1606 Polk street, and completed its ticket of indorsements. About fifty voters were present of 730 to whom invitations were sent. Baehr was indorsed for Auditor, Smith for Tax Col- lector 'and Farnham for Public Adminis- trator. At that point several delegates asserted that the convention was Repub- lican, not non-| san, and six of them, led by Harry Creevy, withdrew. Corey was indorsed for Recorder and another delegate said the convention was certainly ed and he withdrew. 8. H. Brooks ‘was indorsed for urer, Franklin K. Lane for City and County Attorney, Dr. Dillon for Coroner, Frank P. Haynes and Judge Conlan for Police Judges and Eg- rs, Stanyan and Lynch for Supervisors. n motion of Secretary Lorenzo the in- dorsement of Loughery for Sheriff was reconsidered, but the labor candidate was again successful, receiving: the indorse- ment over Lackmann.

CHARLES KAISER XILLED BY FALLING FROM WINDOW Tragic Death of Superintendent of the Water and Electric Works of Reno. Charles Kaiser, superintendent of the water and electric works at Reno, Ne- vada, was accidentally killed yesterday morning by falling out of a third-story window of the lodging-house at 703 Sutter street. Mr. Kaiser was 70 years old and very feeble on account of sickness. He had been subject to dizziness and faint- ing spells for a long time, and less than two weeks ago came to this city with his wife and son on the way to Santa Bar- bara for the benefit of his health. Not improving there as fast as he had expect- ed he returned to this city, intending to proceed to his home in Reno. After having dressed himself yesterday morning, and while his wife and son .were in the room, he walked to the window and fell out of it, striking on the sidewalk. The testimony taken at the Coroner inquest yesterday convinced the jury that Mr. Kaiser had been taken with an attack of vertigo, which caused him to fall. A verdict of accident was returned. —_— e A Comfortable and Delightful Trip. On Sunday, October 20, the California Northwestern Railway will run an excur- slon to Uklah.

BLOW A HOLE 1N THE STORE Desperate Highbinders Resort to Giant Powder. ‘A desperate attempt was made at mid- night last night to blow up the merchan- dise store of Wong You, at 1021 Dupont street. Several enemies of the proprietor placed a can of powder under the window on the Baker alley side of the store and then set a fire to a fuse leading to it. In an instant there was a loud explosion, at least a half-dozen Chinamen, who were in the alley, being knocked down by the concussion. Special Officer George Downey, who was only a short distance aweay, ran to the scene, but failed to get a trace of the men who caused the explo- sion. An_examination of the store disclosed the fact that the explosion had torn a large hole, sufficient to admit a man's body, in the side wall and ! partially wrecked the interior. Several panes of glass in a store on the opposite side of ;{m alley were also broken by the concus- on. The explosion was heard at the Cen- tral police station, which is a few blocks away. Sexygeant Donovan and a posse of offi- cers were at once dispatched to the scene, and after interviewing the propri- etor of the store, came to the conclusion that the dastardly work had been done by highbinders. Some time sigo Wong You claimed that his safe had been rifled by two police- men, who were then attached to the Chinatown squad. After an investigation the officers were acquitted by the Police Commissioners, who were satisfied that they were innocent of the charge. According to Wong You several high- binders since then have repeatedly threatened to kill him, but for what rea- son he does not know. At the time of the explosion he and two of his assist- ants were in the store. ‘Wong_ You was_knocked down by the force of the explosion, but quickly re- covering his feet, he procured a revolver and went in search of the men who were responsible for the dastardly deed. He says he knows who the miscreants are, and to-Gay he intends to swear out war- rants for their arrest. Clerks for Election Day. The Election Commissioners will em- ploy 100 clerks from 5 a. m.
