The room was vacant and he proceeded to make the bed. He started to pull off the bedclothes, and found an infant quietly slumbering. The child lay tucked in a blanket and upon two pillows. Scheef summoned the woman who conducts the house and the police were notified. LENVES GENS N STREETCAN Mrs. Churchill Is Very Careless With Her Diamonds. Mrs. E. W. Churchill of 99 Linden street, Oakland, is congratulating herself on the recovery of $1500 . worth of dia- monds, which she lost while visiting the city Saturday evening. The diamonds were in a chamois bag, which, according to Mrs. Churchill, was stolen from her either on'the ferryboat or while she was making some purchases on this side of the bay. Shorl’ly after she had reported the al- leged robbery to the police yesterday, Captain Seymour was informed by tele- phone that the diamonds had been found by W. H. Craig, a conductor of a car of the Haight-street line. He had found the precious stones on the seat of the car just after Mrs. Churchill had alighted. Craig turned the gems over to the su- erintendent of the road, who, upon learn- an that Mrs. Churchill was the owner, gave them to her. —_—e————— HEBREWS FORM SOCIETY TO RELIEVE DISTRESS Rabbi M. S. Levy Addresses Members and Urges Co-operation in Good Work. The San Francisco Hebrew Rellef So- clety met last night in B’'nal B'rith Hall for the purpose of perfecting its organi- zation and to create interest in its work. The address of the evening was delivered by Rabbi M. 8. Levy, who briefly detalled the aims and purposes of a society formed to relleve distress in the southern section of the city. Dr. Levy urged his hearers to help the movement, as there were many who were deserving of help from their more fortunate brothers. Dr. Levy compared the charity of the poor and the rich and said that the smaller gifts of the former were as praiseworthy in the sight of God as the larger offerings of the lat- ter. J. Goldstein, president of the soclety, stated that there are now 300 members on the roll and that actual work had already been commenced. The following named officers were chosen: J. Goldstein, president; J. L. Abram- owltz, vice president; M. Rosenberg, sec- retary; I. Harland, treasurer; H. Marks, A. Davis, M. Goldblath, Marcus, J. Harland and M. Wise, trustees. Lad Vanquishes Footpad. Herbert Waddington, 16 years of age, employed as a clerk in the drug store at the corner of Geary and Octavia streets, while on his way home about 9 o'clock on Saturday night, was held up as he was passing the Unitarian Church at the cor- ner of Franklin and Geary streets. A man jumped out of the shadows and de- manded young Waddington’s watch and money. The boy was carrying an um- brella in his hand and brought it down on the fellow's head. This confused and stag- gered the would-be footpad, and young ‘Waddington made the best possible time he could toward his home. Trapper’s Ofl cures rheumatism and neuralgia.

The child. wus examined therc and the physicians in attendance gave it as their opinion that the boy was not more than three days old. He was placei in charge of the nurses, and soon made friends with the rubber end of a nursing bottle, to his evident satisfaction. There was nothing about the infant to indicate its maternity. It was warmly clothed in the usual accessories of a baby's wardrobe. A pink and white striped tennis flannel nightgown, a while llama cloth coat and an infant’s cap, also of white material, were on the infant. Fritz Sheef, the bedmaker, says: A woman came to the house three nights ago who locked like the one who rented the room last night. I did not pay much attention to her, but she was pretty well dressed. 1 showed her several rooms, and she said she would cail again. About 1 o'clock last night a woman came ard rented the front room on the first fioors - L Nehted the Tamp in herroon and Jeft er. 1 went Into the room about noon to-day, and found the baby in the bed. Tt looked as if some one had siept In the bed during the night, but it was not much mussed.. I did not hear anybody come in or out during the night, and the woman who rented the room had nothing in her hand. According to Sheef, the woman seemed pleased that a dim lamp was the only means of lighting the room, the gas usu- ally being turned off .n the house before midnight. There are two entrances to the house, one on Mission street, the main entrance, and a second one at the rear. used in common by a number of adjoining buildings of the same character. The theory of the pclice is that the woman after engaging the room went out and secured the infant and hushed it to sleep, or that it was brought to her by some person from the outside, who was made cognizant of the location of ths room. The infant will be sent to-day to Mount St. Joseph’s Infant Asylum unless the mother is located in the meanwhile. THINKS FIANCE WAS MURDERED Edna Cannon Is Anxious Over Disappearance of Alex K. Bell. The police of this city have been asked to locate Alex K. Bell, who came here from Portland a short time ago. Bell was to have married Miss Edna Cannon of Portland last Wednesday, but on the eve of the wedding he suddenly disap- peared.® An investigation revealed that he had informed a friend that he was about to leave for this city to settle up some business matters. It is known that Bell arrived Here last Thursday, but since then no trace of him has been found. Before leaving Portland he told a Mr. McCusker, who is a brother-in-law of the bride to be, that he was feeing ill and that he intended to come to this city to seek medical advice. On learning of his disappearance and thinking that he might be seriously ill _Mr. McCusker came to this city last Friday and ap- pealed to Captain of Detectives Seymour to find him. Seymour had his men search the vari- ous hospitals for Bell, but they falled to get a trace of him. iss Cannon, who is a very estimable young woman, fears that her prospective husband is the vie- tim of foul play. She cannot account for his faflure to keep his promise to marry lier, except that he was suddenly hereft of his reason on account of sickness. —_————————— WATCHES FOR THE MAN WHO TAKES HIS PAPER George Maxwell Beats H. A. Lafler and Is Arrested on Charge 1 of Battery. George Maxwell, ex-secretary Fire Department, was arrested yesterday morning about 8 o'cluck by Policeman Sheehan and booked at the City Prison on a charge of battery. He was released on $5 cash bail. The complaining witness against him is H. A. Lafler, who lives in the neighborhood. .

He complained to Policeman Sheehan, and Maxweil's arrest followed, Maxwell threatens to get even with Lafler by swearing out a warrant for his arrest to-day for petty larceny. —_———————— Advantages of Socialism. Rev. J. E. Scott delivered a lecture on “The Advantages of Socialism” before Liberty Branch of the Socialist Demo- cratic party at Academy of Science Hall last night. ' Mr. Scott expounded the prin- ciples of socialism, which,. he said, were destined to reorganize seciety on a proper basis. He detailed at length what he rec- ognized as the advantages of socialism and said that the movement would ulti- mately ‘settle the labor question because it teaches that the laborer should receive the product of his labor or its equivalént. |. of the ?m.

Sells Griswold Bogus Stock and Gives Him Wild- goose Chase. AV s “If an individual bearing the name of H. C. Marcus, of smooth appearance, in- gratiating manners and eloquent tongue, tries to win your confidence by tales of unbusiness-like banks in the East that are neglecting to send him drafts for plethoric sums, and follows up his at- tempt with a request for temporary relief, tell him you're busted.” This is the advice that Allen 8. Gris- ‘wold, late of the Yale preparatory school | and now growing up with the West: of- fers to the generously inclined of San Francisco. Marcus came before the public about six weeks ago, through a supposed overdose of laudanum, for which he was treated at the Emergency Hospital. His story at the time was that, feeling pains in his stomach, he entersd the first lodging- house to which he came, hired a room and telephoned for a doctor. The doctor did not come right away, so Mar- cus administered to himself, he sald, a few droos of laudanum. He was discov- ered by Dr. Mish, who telephoned to the hospital for an ambulance. Marcus was revived, and while at the hospital made the acquaintance of Dr. k. A. Diggins. A few days later Marcus called on the doctor, showed him pockets full of oil stock and receipts for all kinds of money and gave him inside information as to every sort of good thing. Then he told Diggins the story of a draft which a care- less Philadelphia bank had failed to send him. He wanted a few dollars. The doc- tor said nay. Then he offered to put up some of his paper money as security. Again nay from the doctor and nay again when he suggested that the doctor intro- duce him to some friend who might be induced to help Mr. Marcus tide over the finanéial vacuum caused by the non- arrival of the draft. XKeeps Up Acquaintance. Marcus still dropped in on Diggins, however, and one day, on parting, asked the doctor to please telegraph to Phila- delphia for him and find out what was delaying the draft. He did not give the name of the bank, however, and when he dropped in a few days later in company with Allen S. Griswold, the doctor had re- ceived no news of the draft. “Did you get any word from my draft, Doc?” was the greeting. Diggins started in to explain the impossi- bility of having done so, when Marcus in- terrupted him by introducing his friend Griswold. The pair left together. This was about three weaeks ago. Griswold returned a few days ago to in- quire as to the whereabouts of Diggins’ friend Marcus. Explanations followed and Griswold told the following story: He came out here a few months ago, he sald. He had taken a course at the Yale preparatory school and had come West for a whirl before entering college. He whirled too much. The rotary motion emptied his pockets and he found him- self penniless in a strange city. He wrote home for money, but in the interval se- cured in a humble boarding-house a job wkich insured him board and lodging. It was here he met Marcus. Griswold, attracted by the manner of the former, told his story. It was a strange co- incidence. Marcus was in the same fix. His remittance had gone astray, but his doctor was keeping the wires hot finding out the reason. Griswold's remittance came. Draft Still Missing. “Let's go down to the doctor. I guess he's got my draft by this time,” said Marcus, ‘“and we can go away and look into those little propositions I have been telling you about. There'll be a barrel of money in it for both of us.” The result of the visit to the doctor's has already been detailed. Marcus took the non-arrival philosophi- cally. It was a draft of Croesian dimen- sions and well worth waliting for. Mar- cus was' awfully short, however, and would Griswold mind— Griswold didn’t mind. He provided Marcus with ready money. He bought some of his oil stock. He bore the ex- pense of a trip to Stockton and paid a week’'s lodging at the hotel for the pair. He paid for a long telegram to the Phila- delphia bank directing an immediate ine vestigation of the draft's delay, and he paid for other things. One day Marcus informed him that his draft was on the way, but that in the meanwhile Griswold had better go to Redding and look into a few good things some of Marcus’ friends were keeping open for the missing draft. Armed with letters of introduction to half a dozen of what Marcus said were Redding’s most influential citizens, Gris- wold went to Redding. Nobody in Red- ding knew any of the Marcus citizens. Griswold's rusty alarm clock finally rang. He returned to San Francisco thorough- ly awakened and visited Dr. Diggins. He went to the office of the oil company in which he held Marcus’ stock and found the stock worthless. His money is almost gone, most of it by the Marcus route. Saturday he took the balance and bought a ticket to Bakersfield, where he has some relatives. He says he is afraid to stay in San Francisco, but if he thought by doing so he could meet Marcus he would take the risk. Dr. Sol C. Mish said fast evening in an interview that he a‘tended Marcus twice for poisoning. The first time Marcus toox poison was at the Sutherland Hotel. Ha was removed to the Waldeck and prom- ised to pay the bill when he left, which he failed to dg. The second time Dr. Mish was called he decided that the besi place for Marcus to be attended to was the Emergency Hospital, where he event- ually was sent. Dr. Mish also states that a barber by the nams of Scott called upon him and complained that Marcus sold him worthles oil stock and had s:- cured $50 of his good money.
