The information that Gross was wanted by the police leaked out late last night, notwithstanding every effort was made to keep the circumstances of his flight secret. Only essential details of the trans- actlon in which Gross figures as principal could be learned. Sufficient is known, however, to render it certain that if ap- prehended he will be vigorously prose- cuted on a criminal charge. Gross is well known in this’city, hav- ing practiced with more or less success in the local courts. He resided until six months ago with his wife and three chil- dren in Oakland, when he removed to San Francisco.

Gross Secures the Certificates. Several months ago Gross became inter- ested in the probate of the estate of the late Bridget Kenny, in which Assistant District Attorney John T. Greany was counsel for the heirs. The proceedings were concluded some days since and an order of distribution was made by the court. By this order an estate consisting exclusively of cash amounting to $4291 | was to be divided among seven heirs, each to receive $613. Greany gave the money | to Gross, with instructions to deposit it in the Crocker-Woolworth National Bank in his (Greany's) name and to secure sev- en certificates of deposit in the sum of $613 each. This was done, and on receipt of the certificates ~Gross gave them to Greany, who thereupon wrote on the back of each an order to pay the amount | specified in the certificate to the heir named therein as payee. It is at this point that the criminality of Gross in the transaction begins. After making the order of payment on the back of the certificates of deposit the papers were handed to:Gross with instructions to mail them to the heirs. The certificates were issued January 25, and in due course Greany received re- ceipts from Catherine Kavanagh and John Kinsella of Baltimore and Sister Mary Baptista of Los Angeles. Three heirs, named, respectively, Bernard and Lizzie McArdle and Mary Riley, who live in this city, also filed, receipts of their certificates. Another Baltimore heir, Ann Kinsella, did not receive her certificate, and on making inquiries at the bank At- PEIRERS: POLICE COMMISSION MAY NOT SUSPEND OFFICERS City Attorney Advises Board That Charter Contains No Provision Regarding Suspensions. City Attorney Lane filed an opinion yesterday that the Board of Police Com- missioners has not been granted power to impese the penalty of suspension upon a member of the force. The opinion says: It would appear from' certain provisions of the charter that up to a certain point in their work it was the intention of the charter framers to give the Board of Police Commis- sioners power to suspend a member of the department in certain cases and under certain conditions. But & complete examination of the charter shows that such power is nowhere directly granted to the commission. It is | time at our famous carload prices. N to be noticed that the power of suspension only trunks and valises. bu? ‘d:sqn :J;: Meteen ‘R, the ;:mn:k{gm#:?:m':: a power ases 7 ‘e Foie granted “‘subject to v - e TG ey C3merss, pocket | grier set forth,’ or “in the manmer . herein- In-as-much as there are no after provided.”” later provisions setting forth the limitations | upon this power of suspension or the manner in ‘which sald power may be exercised, the Police Commission, in order to exercise siich power, would have to read into-the charter provisions not therein contained. It Isr obs vious that we have no way of ascertaining what was the mind of the freeholders upon these matters. ‘Although chapter VII is headed ‘‘promotions. suspensions, dlsmissals and disratements’’ the freeholders omitted all reference to suspensions therein. Section 1 of said charter relates ex- clusively to promotions. Section 3 of the same | chapter defines the manner in which and the causes for which a member of the force may | be dismissed. Section 2 relates to punishments | and theretn it is said that a guilty member shall be liable to be punished by reprimand or by fine or by dismissal. being designated must clusive. I see no way of avolding the co clusion that there is no power in the Police Commissioners to impose any other punish- ments than those named in this section. e Mismated Couples in Court.

She alleges that her husband has falled to provide for her for more than a week. | Annie Macy filed a suit for divorce against Seth Macy yesterday, alleging de- sertion.

The mother placed the baby on the bed while she went into the kitchen to prepare hot water for its bath. When she returned she found the infant dead, with its face buried in the pillow. ‘r ————— Rionhart’s Flaxseed Balsam Will cure your cough. 50 cents at all druggists’. g A:I'TORNEY WHOSE CONFIDENCE WAS BETRAYED BY CHARLES | GROSS IN A MANNER THAT MAY FOR LATTER, FOR WHOM POLICE ARE SEARCHING.

AESUMES | WATER INQUIRY Schussler Tells of New Sources Acquired by Spring Valley. | The investigation Into the operations of | the Spring Valley Water Works, prepara- tory to fixing the rates to be charged for | water, was resumed last night by the| Beard of Supervisors. The company sub- | mitted maps. of all the properties owned | by the company in the various counties. | They showed that the company has fifty- | seven pleces of property in actual use. Chief Engineer Schussler demonstrated | by means of a large map the several res- | ervoirs and water sources owned by Hm; company. Schussler went into considera- | ble detail regarding the new Alameda Creek system in the Livermore Valley recently acquired by the company. Schussler said the system at present sup- plied 10,000,000 gallons of water daily to San_Francisco. Schussler told of another corporation | called the Suburban Water Company, or- ganized in Alameda County to deal with 1armers and others who insisted on be- ing furnished with water in return for rights of way. He said the Suburban | Cempany was controlied by the Spring | Valley Company. Mayor Schmitz desired to know the exact relations between the | two corporations and Schussler explained that the Spring Valley Company organ- . ized the Suburban Company to supply consumers in other countles, as the Spring Valley Company could only sup- piy the city of San Francisco with water. Brandenstcin objected to the company | lising as one of its properties the Ala- meda_system, from which water was sup- plied to other counties. Brandenstein heid that the entire system should not be reck- oned as an asset of the company upon which an income should be allowed. Braunhart objected to a clause con- tained in Schussler’s statement that the last Board of Supervisors had held a secret meeting on February 25, 191, when the water rates were fixed. Schussler de- clared that he had not been heard at the | meeting and that he had intended to give testimony as to under-valuations and omissions in the report. Brandenstein held that the evidence was all in at the time and called on Schussler to retract his charge that a secret meeting had been held. Schussler agreed to strike out the word ‘“‘secret,” but the board held that there had been no meeting—only a con- ference. Schussler finally withdrew the charge_altogether. Th: board accepted Schussler’s invita« tion to visit the Livermore Valley system next Sunday and adjourned to meet next Tuesday night to continue the inquiry. —_————————— Policemen on Their Muscle.
