Policeman Peters last night captured 3. V. O'Brien, a convict sentenced to six years in San Quentin for cattle stealing, who escaped from the cu-tody of a dep- uty Sheriff last week. ' .e deputy had brought his prisoner { San Francisco and was waiting at the New Western Ho- tel until time to catch the boat for San Quentin. O'Brien was given permission to go to the lavatory, but failed to come back. He might still be at large if he could have controlled his appetite for opium. He was captured in an alley Jeading off Washington street, whither he had gone to seek his opium-smoking of former days.

REDDING, Feb. 18.—The romantic tale of the good fortune which some strange fairy was to bring Artell Greenwood, the Redding boy, who is now a coachman for Mrs. Hearst in San Francisco, and who was traced by The Call, has crystallized into a simple story of facts, which name the source of the unexpected bounty and show that the sum which Greenwood hés fallen heir to about $30,000. Dame For- tune remembers also his sister, Mrs. Hat- tie Palletser, of Elmhurst, and she will receive an -equal amount. Full details of the bequests have come to Mrs, Annie Greenwood 'of this city, Artell's stepmother, who had lost trace | of him. The estate in England is that of John Greenwood, who recently died at Farmouth. John, who was a brother of Redding’s ploneer shoemaker, Joseph Greenwood, the father of Artell and Hat- tie, owned a wide acreage of farming {lard. About 100 acres had been divided into lots and a town was bulilt upon the | land. The value of the whole is not less | than $150,000. There is one heir besides Artell Greenwood and his sister. He is Edward Greenwood of Clinton, Mass, the | son of a deceased brother of John and | | Joseph Greenwood. Each heir gets one- third of the estate. 1t appesrs that but for the boyish pho- tograph of Artell found among his uncle’s effects and through which he was traced, he and his sister would have been over- lcoked altogether. NEW RULES FOR MATES’ AND MASTERS' LICENSES More Latitude Is Allowed to Seamen in Climbing the Ratlines to Higher Office. The United States Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels recelved yesterday from the office of the Supervising Inspector General at Washington the amended rules governing the issuance of licenses to mates and masters. These new rules pro- vide that applicants for licenses as third mate of ocean and coastwise steam ves- | sels must have had at least three years’ experience on such vessels as mariner or quartermaster. Persons whose experience at sea has been on ocean sailing vessels of more than 200 gross tons may be licensed on the following conditions: “For master, five years' experience on such sailing vessels, two years of which Lave been as master of such sailing ves- sels, will entitle the applicant to a license as master of ocean and coastwise steam vessels. Flve years' experience on such ralling vessels, two years of which pave been in the capacity of chief mate, eAtitle the applicant to a license as chief mate of ocean and coastwise steam vessels. Three years' experience on such safling vessels as mariner entitle the applicant to a license as third mate of ocean and coastwise steam vessels.” —_——— PRINCIPAL BLANCHARD MUST NOW STAND TRIAL Board of Education Decides to Hear New Evidence Regarding Allege: Flogging of Pupils. . The Board of Education yesterday re- opened the- case of M. E. Blanchard, prin- cipal of the Hancock Grammar School, who was reprimanded for severely flog- | ging John Ragglo, & pupll. An affidavit was filed by Miss Perry, the boy’s former | teacher, setting forth that she was forced by Blanchard to write an unfavorable re- mnlgamgt Raggio in the record book. erry says that she was called into Blanchard’s office during lunch hour and that he compelled her to write the word “Incorrigible” against Raggio's name, SuPerlntendem of Schools Webster lved an oPmIon from his legal ad. viser that violation of the rules by a teacher is a triable offense. He accord- ingly will make a recommendation that | Blanchard be tried by the board. Two other boys, Willlam Vahey and Detlef Terry, who, it is alleged, were soundly thrashed by Blanchard, will fig- ure in the new investigation. —_——— Printing Demands Are Begl)ered.

REPORTS SHOW GREAT PROGRESS Holding of Seventeenth Annual Meeting by the - Woman's Exchange. Organization Is in a Prosper- ous and Flourishing =5 Condition. 5 The seventeenth annual meeting of the Woman's Exchange was held yesterday morning at the Occidental Hotel. The election of officers was the important fea- ture of the session. The officers elected are: President, Mrs, E, 8, Breyfogle; vice presi- dents, Mrs. John Currey, Mrs, uls Sloss, rs, H. L. Dodge, Mrs. M. Castle;-treasurer, Miss B, Grace Unger; recording secretary, Mrs. Spencer Buckbee; corresponding secretary, Mrs, R. E. Bunker; directors, Mrs, E. S. Breyfogle, Mrs, H. E, Highton, Mrs. M. Castle, Mrs. John Currey, Miss L. McKinstry, Mrs. W. P. Mor- gan, Mrs. J, G, Conrad, Mrs’ H. L, Dodge, Miss E. G. Unger, Mrs. L. Gerstle, Mrs. Louis ‘Sloss. Interesting reports were read for the year ending January 81, 1802, which in themselves speak for the prosperous con- dition of the exchange. Mrs. Harry Dubrow, chairman of the art department, reported sales to the amount of $12,438 95. Mrs. -John G. Conrad, chairman of the cake department, reported sales amount- ing to $18,363 63. Miss Ella Morgan, chalrman of the flow- er department, reported sales amounting to_$929 85, . Miss L. McKinstry, chairman’of the luncheon = department, reported sales amounting to $19,446 4. Miss E. Grace Unger, treasurer of the Woman's Exchange, reported money paid out to consignors (poor and needy women depending on their own exertions for sup- port) amounting to $39.212 40. The salaries paid amounted to $12,126 15. ~ In the past sixteen or seventeen years the poor women of California have re- soeolved through the exchange nearly $500,- The object of the exchange is to enable women of unfortunate circumstances to receive money for any of their work of- fered to the exchange. The number of consignors at the present time is about 00, and the sum of $36,514 35 has been paid them within the past year. A high stand- ard of work is set by the exchange, and as poor work will not sell readily it is deemed advantageous to the toller, as well as to the exchange, to maintain a high excellence. : Fhe organization 1s constantly becoming stronger and hopes ultimately to become selr-su;;gorung. When the building fund has sufficiently increased a bullding will be erected where more extensive accom- modations can be given to consignor: @ il @ A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE Margaret L. Briggs, a Well-Known Newspaper Woman, = Recounts Her Experience While Vis- iting a Noted Woman. OF INTEREST TO ALL WOMEN. (From the Boston Herald). It was my privilege recently to call upon the world famous Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, I must confess that among all newspaper women there has always been a great feeling that Mrs. Pinkham was a myth; we are so familiar with advertis- ing methods we grow to be skeptical and always take such statements as are made in the Pinkham advertisements, as well as all other advertising, with the proverbial “grain of salt,”” but, as before stated, be- ing near the city of Lynn, Mass., I thought I would investigate a little in order to satisfy my curiosity, and I must say I was surprised at what I found. e To begin with I had no idea that the Lydia E. Pinkham establishment was anything like the immense size that it is, and when the street car stopped in front of a great collection of buildings and the conductor told me that it was the Lydia E. Pinkham Laboratory, I should have been sure he had made a mistake had it not been for a small sign which is on one of the original buildings. Upon entering the omice I was recelved by a very courteous lady and was very much impressed by the tact that all the occupants of the room were women, and although my sojourn in the buildings covered something more than gn hour vis- iting the entire place and private office, I saw nothing but women, and was also pleased to learn that no man ever had access to these rooms. I was satisfied that their claims that this is strictly a wo- ;mfn's institution were altogether truth- Atter stating the purpose of my visit T was introduced to Mrs. Pinkham, who turned me over to a head assistant with instructions that I was to be shown every~ thing in and about the laboratory, and particularly asked me to visit the’‘pri- vate letter department,” which I did. This is the department in which are received hundreds of thousands of letters from ail- ing women, and in which every letter is opened, carefully considered bg compe- tent persons under Mrs. Pinkham's guidance, and carefully and accurately answered by women only—so particular js Mrs. Pinkham about having even a sus- jcfon of these letters going through a guslness office where men are allowed to frequent that she will not allow a type~ writer to be used, and every letter that oes out of this office is written by hand y women. I was also shown positive evidence which clearly satisfied me on the point that no letters are published unless the writer's speclal permission is first ob- ined. mT‘;egay that all this was a revelation is utting it mildly, and when I was shown ghe glgeat cabinet of files that contain thousands upon thousands of letters, then, and cnly then, did I begin to realize the magnitude of Mrs. Pinkham's work. Just think of it, every one of these letters has been answered as carefully as the most competent knowledge could dictate, and not one cent has ever been charged for ‘advice. I saw where more than one million such letters were flled, and I began to feel that this one woman was doing more good amons the sick women of Ameri- ca than any combination of men and women that I ever heard of. I came away from Mrs. Pinkham’s Laboratory feeling that it was my duty to all women to use my facilities as a newspaper writer to assure them that what I saw convinced e that Mrs. Pinkham is more compe- ';nt to advise sick women than any other one person in the United States. The vol- ume of information which’' she has col- Jaborated during the last twenty years contains a reco of every kind of female illness that a human being could possibly develop, and nowhere in the world could a woman get more accurate and helpful advice in regard to her illness than by writing to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. I have no interest in Mrs. Pink- Medicine Co., but I have & streak of humanity in my make- up, and I cannot rest without unburden- ing my mind in regard to this matter, and every time I see the following para- raph in a newspaper, I can hardly kee from saying out loud while I am resdl: ing it—‘every word of that is true, and every woman who is ill and does not take advantage of Mrs. Pinkham’'s advice is lowly committil suicide.” The para- ;:- )!reterred to s as follows: : omen suffering from any form of fe- male weakness are invited to freely com- municate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. Thus been established the eternal confidence during th la::t four months.

Decision Affects Pockets of Several Other Munici- pal Officers. - The Supreme Court declded yesterday that the Assessor of the city and county of San Francisco is not entitled to a per- centage on the amount of poll tax collec- tions. Assessor Washington Dodge there- by sees $14,080 60, which the lower court had declared to be his, go into the treas- ury of San Francisco. In July, 1900, Dodge tried to collect the sum as his rightful percentage on poll tax collections made during the preceding four months. The Treasurer refused to turn over the money, and the controversy was transferred to the courts. The As- sessor, won in the lower court and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. Dodge based his claim of $§14,080 60 on a section in the Political Code which says: “The Assesdor for services rendered in the collection of poll taxes shall receive the sum of 15 per cent, and the Collector for services rendered in the collection of poll taxes on the dellntiuent list, including publication, shall receive the sum of % per cent on all delinquent poll taxes col- lected by him.” Court Shows Error in Contention. It is explained in the opinion of the Su- preme Court that this provision does not apply to the question at issue. A consti- tutional amendment provides for the strict accountability of county officers for all public funds that may come into their ossession, but leaves the matter-ef fix- ng salaries and fees to the body politic. The city and county of San Francisco is held to fall within the limits of this amendment. The new charter provides in reference to the Assessor that “he shail receive an an- nual salary of $4000, which shall be in full compensation for all his services.”” Dodga claimed that his duties consisted wholly in making collections on taxable property, and that the collection of poll taxes was not a part of such duty. Acted Only in Official Capacity. The court holds that Dodge collected goll taxes in his official cgpacity, and that is salary therefore compensates for his services. The Assessor is, according to the provisions of the charter, compelled to pay all moneys coming into his hands as such officer, no matter from what source derived or received, into the treasury of the city and county. It is decided, in con- sequence, that as his collections were made in his official capacity as Assessor all such funds belong to the city. A former suit instituted by District At- torney Fay of Kern County and decided by the Supreme Court is cited as a prece- dent. The constitution provides that the District Attorney shall receive $10 for each prosecution against delinquent pur- chasers of State lands. Fay prosecuted sixty-three parties, but was not able to secure the by reason of having acted in his official ecapacity, for which he was already id. Dodge’s contention is said to have less merit than Fay’'s. The judg- ment and order of the lower court is re- versed and the dispute is thus ended. The opinion is written by Justice Van Dyke, with whom Justices Harrison, Tem- ple, Henshaw_and Garoutte directly con- cur. Justice McFarland writes a concur- ring opinion, in which he suggests that as the collection of poll taxes is so difficult the State should provide sufficient addi- tional compensation to prove an incen- tive for determined effort on the part of the Assessor. Justice Beatty Dissents. Chief Justice Beatty writes a long dissenting’ opinion, in which he says he cannot see upon what grounds a law can be defended which assumes to turn over 15 per cent of the poil taxes of the city and county of San_ Francisco to the municipal salarsy fund while Hmltlng the compensation of the Assessor to a fixed salary, to be paid whether he collects the tax or not. He ar- gues that a flat salary is really an induce- ment to the Assessor to be disinterested in the collection of the poll taxes. The amount annually involved in the de- cision is about $22,500. This sum, accord- ing to City Attorney Lane, will revert to the unapportioned fee fund, and at the end of each year will go into the surplus fund, to be appropriated as the Super- visors may see fit. The suit just decided was instituted when Assessor Doage had made the col- lections for March, April, May and June of 1900, but there is on deposit in the city treasury $31,299 60 to which he laid claim. The sum of $8857 25, which ex-Treasurer Brooks claimed as percentage on the col- lection of collateral inheritance taxes and which he appropriated but returned to the city pending the decision in the Dodge case, is also In the treasury and will fi., turned over for the use of the municpal- ity. The Tax Collector is interested to the extent of about $5000 for fees granted by the statutes for compiling the military Grand Jury Meets. The Grand Jury held its Tegular session yesterday and made inquiry into a num- ber of matters affecting the welfare of the city. The subject of gambling as car- ried on in various saloons was gone into, as was also the persistent obstructing of streets by building operations. Foreman Sonntag stated that no conclusion had been arrived at, but the recommendations of the Grand Jury will be incorporated in a partial report to be filed in the course of two or three weeks. —_——— Charged With Embezzlement. Thomas Simpson, a bookkeeper in the employ of the Moise-Klinkner Company, at 320 Sansome street, was arrested lagt evening on two_charges of misdemeanor embezzlement. It is alleged that Simpson has been in the habit of making collec- tions prior to collection day and failing to turn the money over to the firm. He denies his guilt.
