14 NEW BUILDING 10 BEERECTED Union Trust Company to Double Size of Its Structure. et Adjoining Land of Charles Holbrook Purchased for $200,000. The Union Trust Company consummat- ed yesterday the purchase of the Charles Holbrook property adjoining its big butld- ing, including 50 feet frontage on Mont- gomery street and a three-story bullding, and as soon as the present leases expire the compary will tear the old building away and erect on the site a building cor- responding in architecture and height to the yellow building owned by the com- pany and mainly occupled by the South- ern Pacific Company, to which it will be | Joined as one structure. The purchase price was about $200,000. The lot has a frontage of 5 feet on Mont- gomery street and a depth of 87% feet. The ground floor tenants of the building are G. H. Umbsen & Co. and Baldwin & Howell. The new building, combined with tne old, will form a structure with 1i2 feet frontage on Montgomery street, 62 feet on Market and 2 depth of $73% feet on the opposite side. Tt will be an ornament to that portion of the city. The entire ground ficor will be occu- ed by the Union Trust Company. In- eed, the growth of the company’s busi- negs and the necessity for more room was IRE in a boarding-house at 802 Jones street caused excitement in the uptown hotel section shortly after 9 o'clock last evening. Its origin is a mystery. The flamés gained headway so rapidly that two peo- ple were overcome by smoke before they could gain an exit. Both were rescued. Mrs. Hattie Towne, the aged mother of Percy Towne, an attorney with R. H. Lioyd, was rescued by A. P. Girard, son | of Colonel Girard. She was picked up in 2 hallway where she had fallen. A Jap- anese servant was hemmed in by the | flames and was carried out by H. Harris, a shipping clerk, who found him almost suffocated in the basement. The house was owned by Mrs. Mitchen. This lady had arrived home but three minutes before the fire was reported to her. Then the basement was ablaze and | a passerby had rushed to the nearest alarm box to ring the alarm. The fire gained rapid headway and smoke filled the house. Mrs. Mitchen ran into the street and shouted to the crowd | of_gathering spectators that there were other people in the burning structure. Girard started up the stairway leading L e e e e e the prime reason for the company’s pur- chase of the property. There is a_ possibility that two stories will be added to the present height of the yellow building when the new structure is erected.

LONDON, Oct. 3L—Upon landing herc to-day on his return from the United States Sir Thomas Lipton was given a hearty reception. T to the front door. As he did so he heard a woman’s scream. The smoke was so dense in the hall that he was obliged to grope his way along. He had gone some distance when he stumbled over the pros- trate form of Mrs. Towne. The aged lady was in her room on the second floor when she became aware that the house was on fire. When she opened the door leading into the hallway the smoke was clouding up from the basement and she was unable to see her way. By groping around she found the stairway and managed to stagger to the bottom of where she fell insensible, . H. Harris, a shipping clerk, was riding home on a Jones street car. He saw the flames in the basement windows and heard a Japanese shouting inside. Break- ing a window Harris tried to reach the imprisoned man. Failing in this he broke down a door and after several minutes grasping the prostrate servant dragged him into the street. Fire Marshal Towe is investigating the origin of the fire. The Japanese em- ployed by Mrs. Mitchen, it is claimed, was at night school when the flames broke out. The servant who was dragged from the house in a half-suffocated condition is employed by a family in a house ad- Jolning, ~Despite the fact that he was rescued by Harris the Japanese denfed that he was in the house.

Cut This Out. some time past Mrs. Smith has been col- lecting various sums of money from char- itably inclined individuals on the repre- sentation that the amount was to go to the i.ittle Sisters’ and Infants’' Shelter. Yesterday Captain Seymour was told that the woman was an impostor, and he de- tailed Dinan and Wren to arrest here. By dint of inquiry the detectives learned that Mrs. Smith was in the vicinity of the wholesale district “working’ unsuspect- ing merchants, and they started after her. Recognizing her. as she left the office of Robert Dollar of the Usal Redwood Com- pany at 204 Front street, they placed her under arrest and took her to police head- quarters. In her pocket was_ found which she had obtained from Mr. Dollar on the false representation that it was to be used in helping defray the expenses of the Little Sisters’ institution. The woman was accompanied by a nine-year- old boy, who, she-claimed, was her son. To Captain Seymour Mrs. Smith said that her husband had died some time ago and that she was forced to take in sew- ing to support herself and child. Refer- ring to the charge against her she said: “If I have done anything wrong I did not mean to. Several weeks ago I met a woman, who told me her name was Mrs. Wright, in a coffee saloon on Eddy street, where I generally have breakfast. After a short conversation she informed me that she was connected with the Little Sisters’ Shelter and that she wanted me to help her in arranging a benefit for the Institution, as it was heavily in debt. She gave me a book, on the fly leaf of which she wrote that 1 was authorized to col- lect funds for the proposed benefit. I admit that I collected several hundred dollars for the benefit, but 1 defy any- body to prove that I obtained it under false pretenses.” Shortly after the woman had been ar- rested the detectives went to her room and found a memorandum book showing that she had collected more than $500 for the alleged benefit. Written on the fly leaf were the word We hereby certify that Mrs. Wright is authorized to collect money for the benefit of the Little Sisters’ and Infants’ Shelter at 512 Minna street. (Signed.) Mrs. W. Plerson, president; Mrs. J. A. Sampson, secretary.” Investigation revealed that Mrs. Pier- son’s name had been forged and that Mr: Sampson had been dead over three year: The alleged Mrs. Wright, whose. name aj pears in the book, is supposed to be a myth. 2 Among the woman’s victims are the fol- lowing: John Rosenfeld's Sons, $5; L. T. Lasretto $350; Alaska Commercial Company, $5: A. Bryan Shoe Company, §230; Jesse Moore-Hunt Company, $5; Alaska P: 5 Pacific Tool and Supply Company, $7 50; Stock- | ton Milling Company, $230, and the Fidelity Mutual Aid Assoctation, - §2 50. The name of Frank J. Carolan, the well- | known clubman, is also written in the book, but investigation showed that it is a forgery. TRIES TO KILL HERSELF WITH A BIG REVOLVER Gertie Wilson Does Not Care to Live After Desertion by Man She Loved. Gertle Wilson, a young woman who has been flitting about the tenderloin for the last few years, tried to end her unhappy existence with a bullet at about 6 o’clock last night. Gertie’s aim was rather bad, and she is now in the Recelving Hospital. Love, broken promises and all that sort of thing led to the young woman's at- tempt at a tragic ending in front of Ed Wilson's cigar store at 131 O'Farrell street. Wilson, whose real name is Ed- suicide, according to her story, for years, but recently he transferred his affections to another. Two nights ago Gertie wrote letters, one addressed to un evening paper and another to a sister, Mrs. katie Dunn of Reno, Nev. In these letters she told of her contemplation of suicide. She also wrote to Wilson, teiling him that if he did not return to her she would kill herself. Last might she went to Wilson's store, and when ordered out by a clerk she declared he would have to carry her out. With that she drew a big revolver and fired a shot which pierced her bosom. She was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where the bullet was exXtracted. The wound is not dangerous. The woman says she gave Wilson the money with which to start in business, and that he promised to marrz her. —_————— Henarie Will Contest Settled.

Henarie who died November 25, 1899, leaving an estate valued at $383,000. The court also granted the motion to set aside the pe- tition to revoke the probation of the will made by Mary A.

Afdavits explaining the condition of af- fairs are being prepared for submission t the Grand Jury. The nurses who were discharged wish to tell their story before an inquisitorial body. Alexander Murdock, the superintendent, was asked on Wednesday to tell whe were the directors of the institution, bul said he could not recall them all at the time. Yesterday he gave the following written statement to a Call reporter: As per your request, St. Elmo Hospitale John Russell, J. M. Dunne, W. McCarthy, T. C. Collins, Joseph Duffy, one share each; Alex Murdock, 1600 shares. 'Total of shares, 2500 at $10 a share, balance of stock not yet issued; we rent from Maclean Hospital with a pros- pect of purchasing. Corp. buoks can be seen. ALEX. MURDOCK, Superintendent St. Elmo Hospital. ‘What Superintendent Says. When Murdock , was interviewed on Wednesday afternoon he denied that S. P. Blumenberg, erstwhile managing direc- tor of the Hotel Nymphia, had anything to do with the management of the St. Elmo Hospital. Before Murdock assumed control of the hospital he was bookkeeper for the Gordon Sanitarium and collected the rents from inmates of the Hotel Nym- phia. How Blumenberg got control of St. Elmo Hospital is best told in suit No. 76,047, filed in the Superior Court a few days ago. This is an action wherein W, P. Reed appears as plaintiff against the Maclean Hospital, a corporation, and its directors. A large number of reputablo physiclans are made defendants. The story in brief is as follows: In March, 1894, an action was com- menced by 'E. J. Malmgren and D. J. Lawrence against J. T. Harris and Dr. M. H. Logan, Dr. Logan, one of the de- fendants, had purchased 1400 shares of the capital stocfi and indorsed a note for one Harris. During the absence in the East of Dr. Logan judgment was obtained against him. Later a renewal of the judgment was obtained, and one L. Nath- an bought in Dr. Logan's stock for $2. This was later transfered to Blumenberg. The physiclans who were associated wit Dr. Logan_in the enterprise claim they were not advised of the procetdings. Soon thereafter Blumenberg assumed full con= trol, and elected a number of serviceable tenderloin habitues as trustees. One of the directors is the husband of Elizabeth Dunn, who owns considerable property in the disreputable quarter of the city and who has frequently figured in the Police ccurts. Of another director of the St. Elmo Hospital but little is known, save from the Police Court record. Murdock formerly collected the nightly rentals from the unfortunates that occupied the apartments in the Hotel Nymphia. He bas held a number of positions in cor- perations organized by Blumenberg for controlling the money to be derived from the habitues of the quarter in which Blumenberg operates. Question Abhout Certificate. Blumenberg has a certificate entitling him to practice medicine, but how he got it is a question that the examiners of the lnstltut?un say they are unable to explain. Urder the gulse of this diploma Blumen- berg has been working. When Dr. Frizell was selected as resi- dent physician of St. Elmo Hospital he was told that if he worked the first two weeks for nothing he would be paild $300 a month thereafter. His first month was up the night he was discharged, and he is still looking for his money. A number of the physicians who were interested in the Maclean Hospital are considering ways and means to expose the Blumenberg method. An appeal to the Grand Jury has been prepared and | will be placed in the hands of the com- mittee in the next few days. Another matter the directors are inves- HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1901.

Pillsbury, amicus curiae, heard the statement, and the work of the day before Commissioner Heacock was an attempt to uncover all the troubles that fell to Frost's lot while in the cold Arctic country. The proceedings opened with a continu- ation of the direct examination by Attorney Heney. This was soon ended, and Pillsbury began the cross-ex- amjnation with alacrity and raplidity. But | he soon struck a snag. After asking the witness a question or two founded on the Lekely affidavit Frost shied out of the road and the attorneys, audience and Commissioner flled out of the room and into the Circuit Court of Appeals to lay the matter before Judges Morrow, Gilbert and Hawley. The question to be argued was whether or not Pillsbury had the right to take an affidavit and ask tne witness if there was any statement in 1t which he knew to be faise: The bulk of theaffidavit was hurled at- Frost and he rebelled. So aid his at- torneys. After deliberation the court ruled that while the question was not in the best form the witness should read the amdavit and point out such passages as he believed to be divergencies from the truth. This was done and the morning session was consumed. Appointment of Detectives. The work of the afternoon was confined to the detectives Frost appointed, the rea- son for their appointment and what he knew of the arrest of McKenzle and the bank disturbance. Frost was very delib- erate in his testimony and recited events with a care. Despite this the amicus curiae thinks he has brought out several important discrepancies. Frost appointed detectives while he was special examiner to ferret an attempt at corruption in theimpaneling of a jury. For this reason he says he appointed George Carson and L. D, ine, and their re- ports were turned over to the District Attorney's office. He said: “It came to my mind that names were being turnished for a jury panel. It was to find the person who was to furnish the names and corrupt panel that Carson was appointed. 1 heard in St. Michael on July 25 and 26 that attempts would be made 'to corrupt the jury panel for the August term of the court and that names were being furnished.” “Who_furnished the information?” in- quired Pillsbury. “That is a confldential matter which I cannot tell you,” responded the witness. “What instructions did you give these detectives?” “I told them what I heard without di- recting them to watch any particular peo- ple. dential.” “They were flled in the District Attor- ney's office and were accessible to all, | were they not?” “No, sir; they were kept in the District Attorney’s private box, which but few had access to." . “How long'did these investigations con- i was any _jury drawn? ““About the 22d of August.” | hen did you first speak to Wood “I don’'t remember what the occasion ‘was or the exact time of it,” responded Frost. t About Jury Frauds. 4 According to the testimony the grand and trial jury had been drawn when the 300 .names were selected. Frost said they tried to get interested persons on the jury. “Did you ever make any inquiry about this matter in the clerk’s office, or did you ever report any. dereliction of duty in the clei office?” queried Pillsbury. - “No, sir.” answered the witness. It was the duty of the clerk to furnish 150 names, the jury commission the other The reports made to me were confi- | | 150. The witness drew within the shell of | confidential communication, saying that | information in this matter came from an | official residing at Nome, and he refused to divulge the name, “Did you M.ve any information relating to the clerk continued * the amicus curiae. “Not at that time,” was the reply. “Any concerning the action of a jury commissioner on the subject?”’ Another declination followed. Judge Noyes and Frost discussed this matter about the corruption of the jury | panel., Frost sald Judge Noyes showed him an affidavit stating that certain per- sons had been furnishing lists of names | for the panel. the lists being in the hand- | writing of a person whom he knew. | “Who was the commissioner who drew | the 150 names?"’ asked Pillsbury “I think it was Major Stron ed Frost. * “Did Judge Noyes tell you where he ob- tained these lists?" {They were attached to the affidavits.” | The witness then testified that Noyes ' respond- DAY IS SPENT IN THE NOME CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS IN SEVERE CROSS-EXAMINATION OF WITNESS FROST authorized the employment and payment of the detectives. He said he did not furnish the detectives h the names nor did he refer them :o yes. Frost then denied that he put se detectives to work on the case of Chips against Linderbers. On Wednesday ‘Frost testified that the employment of the detectives came out of the District Attorney’s office. Yester- | day he said that the District Attorney and Judge Noyes understood the matter and that he himself employed the detectives.
