STEAL JEWELAY IT DINNER HOUE Kruttschnitt Family the Victimu of Clever Thieves. Valuables Worth One Thou- i sand Dollars Taken From Apartments at Richelieu. Jewelry and diamcnds valued at $1000 | were stolen from the apartments of Julius ruttschnitt, manager of the Southern | Pacific, at the Hotel Richelieu, on Van Ness avenue, some time between the hours of & and 7 o'clock Thursday evening. The theft wasg accomplished while Mr. and Mrs. Kruttschnitt were at dinner. The Jewels were locked in the top drawer of ressing case in the bedroom, and this s opened with a key by the thief, the aluables extracted and the drawer re- locked. % Upon returning from dinner to the apartments Mrs. Kruttschnitt opened the | drawer for some purpose and at once dis- | covered the loss. There were missing two ! gold watches, several diamond rings, a | diamond brooch and some other trinkets of less value. The robbery was reported at onea to th: oflice of the hotel and an effort was made to keep the occurrence secret, but | it became known to several of the guests and yesterday was a generally discussed topic among them. The police were notified by Mr. Krutt- schnitt and a description of the missing | valuables was given. A detective was de- | tailed on the case, who spent yesterday investigating the robbery. All of ths em- | pleyes of the hotel who could in any | manner gain access to the apartments were subjected to questioning. It was evident from the nature of the theft that it was either the work of an experienced hotel thief or some one connected with Perfumery. Hudnut’s, first, last and all the time.

To the complaint of the creditors that Blakeman's office rent was being paid out of the funds of the Bell estate, the | attorney replies that the statement is un- | ;_rufl and that Drum is well aware of the | act. Blakeman’ charges that the greater| number of the creditors who are contest- ing the accounts of Mrs. Bell did so only at the urgent Solicitation of Drown. To | a Call reporter yesterday he said: 1 statements made by At- Drum, one of the attor- r the creditors of the estate, and | ularly to his allegation that “the | tution of Blakeman for Staacke has | of no advantage or benefit to the | pa substi been bappens that Staacke was removed It has been repeatedly admitted by many of | the creditors that the affairs of the estate are being well managed by Mrs. Bell. The state- ment of the attorneys who represent them that she has drawn too much money in the | shape of family allowance is untrue and un- | fair. In the early years of the administration | | of the estate she did not draw all that the { court had allowed her, and instead of drawing | | $107,000, as stated, she in fact drew om $76,000 since the death of her husband in Oc- | tober, 1592 | Drown is one of the attornevs for Miss | Thompson, Who secured the Laguna Rancho | from Executor Staacke at half its value, and | principally because of this transaction he was removed as executor. The Bell estate is now suing Miss Thompson for the recovery of this | | fine property on the main ground that Staacke’s | connection with the foreclosure proceedings | was fraudulent. Expect to Recover Thousands. We expect to win this suit and recover more | than $§30,000 for the estate. I charge that Drown has contracted with the creditors he | represents to collect their claims on a per- | centage basi; d yet in the face of this he | represents a client with whom the estate is now in litigation. My fees never were exces- e and 1 will demand @ hearing by Judge Coffey when the matter comes up next Tues- | day. Blakeman says further that he may dis- close some of the inside facts relative to the attempt of Staacke to compromise the valuable Robinson claim, in which Drum was interested as attorney, for $2500. At that time Staacke swore that there was | nothing in the Robinson estate excent a | parcel of land, which was mortgaged for | more than it was worth. Blakeman op- | posed the compromise months of litigation succeeded in collect- ing from the Robinson estate estate the sum of $40,971.

City Attorney Lane advised the Board of Supervisors yesterday that there is no statute which provides that when the Tax Collector has made a mistake in fail- ing to supply the taxpayer with proper bills the taxpayer shall be relieved of his personal responsibility of,seeing that his taxes are paid. The sending of the bills by the Tax Collector is an act of courtesy and not a legal duty and if the taxpayer relies upon the bills sent by the Tax Col- lector rather than on his own knowledge of wh:tdpruperly he owns, the State is not 50 considerate as to grant him an exemp- tion from penalties or taxes. The opinion is in answer to a petition filed by the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Company to remit the penalty for failure to pay taxes on its franchise assessment for the fiscal year 1901 upon the ground that the Tax Collector failed to send, among other bills, the bill for the tax on the franchise of the company. —_—— INVOLUNTARY INSOLVENT.—E. A. Wil son, & merchant at Banta Rosa, flled in the Unfted States District Court yesterday his schedule in_ involuntary insolvency. $5498 and has He owes APRRNSERS PUT ON HEWY DOy ¢ Government Asks $8000 to Permit Entry of War Picture.’ D. A. Socci, an art dealer of Manila, is having a lively time with the Collector of the Port and the United States Apprais- ers over a duty of $3000 assessed against a big war picture he brought over from Manila on the last trip of the America Maru. The'picture, which is an immense canva held by the authorities untii the duty is paid or the Government waives the right to collect it on the ground that the Philippine Islands are Ameri possessions. Soon after the close of the war with Spain Socci concelved the idea of having the scenes attending the capture of Ma- nila portrayed on canvas. He engaged a young Spanish artist named Santos Gon- zales to paint it. Gonzales had all the ex- perience necessary for the work and de- voted fiftecn months of his time to it. The picture, which is thirty-four feet long by fourtegn feet wide, depicts the entrance of the American troops into Ma- nila. Many of the portraits of the com- manders are sketches from life. One fea- ture that will make it doubly interesting to people here is the picture of the First California Regiment, under the leadership of Colonel James F. Bmith. Colonel Smith is mounted and his action is most life-like. “I have brought this picture to San Francisco for exhibition,” said Mr. Socci at_his_apartments at the Palace Hotel yesterday. ‘‘The picture is not for sale. T could not even put a value on it, so I do not see how the appraisers can charge me a duty of $8000 on it. I thought that when we bought the Philippine Islands they be- came American territory, and as the con- stitution prohibits the levying of duties between one part of the United States and the other I think this exaction is unjust. I am gqing to follow the matter right through to the highest court in the land before I will submit to what I consider this most unjust imposition.” All day yesterday the wires were kept hot, Socc!’s lawyers flling protest after protest against the exaction of the $8000 duty. Unless the valuation is taken off Dby the Collector of the Port an appeal will be at once forwarded to the Board of General Appralsers in New York. Socci | may in the meantime secure the release of the picture by filing a bond to cover the duty. Wants Eight-Hour Law Obeyed.

Attorney Henry E. Highton, on behalf of the California Prison Commission, against cruelty in the State penitentiaries, has sent a letter to Warden Aguirre of San Quentin and Warden Thomas Wilkin- son of Folsom warning them against fur- ther use of the straitjacket. The attention of the wardens Is called to the fact that the infliction of punishment unnecessarily cruel is a crime subject both | to civil and criminal action. The commission intends that there will be no further use of the straitjacket even if legal steps have to be . taken. in order to prevent it. A watch is being maintained in both prisons and at the first instance of the use of the strait- jecket a warrant will be sworn out for the arrest of the warden and he will be rigorously prosecutec. ii is claimed by the commission that in several cases where the jacket has been used the prisoner has been maimed for life. All past cases of cruelty, however, will be ignored if the prison officials will be more lenient in their treatment of convicts in the future. ————— Smith Not to Be Prosecuted. J. Pollard Crowther decided yesterday not to prosecute J. Morgan Smith, the in- surance agent, who involved him in seri- | ous trouble by giving him a bogus check for $100, which he afterward passed.
