Captain Seymour has not yet decided whether he will prefer a charge against Kitty Mclntyre, the daughter of the vic- tim of the assault,'as an accessory beforc | the £z She is being detained at the City Prison as a witness. Yesterday she identified the revolver found in the room occupied by Millian at the Brunswick House as the one Millian had told her he | had got from Buchanan the night before the attack was made upon her father. The police are satisfied that it was the weapon used by Buchanan, William MclIntyre, a brother of the girl, was taken to the prison yesterday to see | her, in the hope that she might give fur- | ther details of the assault, but she said she had nothing to add to the statement he made Monday night. Her utter heart- lessness in conniving at and instigating | the robbery of her aged father is almost nd belief. She attended him at St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was taken for treatment, and the poor old man, beiev: ing that he might die, drew a will, leav- ing her share and share alike of his wealth with her five brothers.” She is an | only daughter. She declares that if Mil- lian is sentenced she will kill herself. Mclntyre is rapidly recovering, but he will not be asked to identify Buchanan till he is convalescent. | Two of the other suspects, Reynolds and | Collins, were released from custody by | Captain Seymour yesterday morning, but a charge of cy was booked against Samuel R: the first suspect arrested. He is a “hobo” from Seattle. : Frankie Goodman, who resides in the | Brunswick House at the corner of Sixth and Howard streets, made a statement to the police last night, in which she cor- Toborates the story told by Kate MecIntyre involving Joseph' Millian and Charles Buchanan in the attack which was made on Mcintyre. She said that after the crime had been committed MclIntyre's | daughter came to her and told her every- thing that she knew regarding Buchanan and Millian’s plan and the manner in which they carried it into execution. She said that Kate told her that Millian struck her father down and that Bu- chanan thrust the pistol into his mouth, In felling McIntyre Millian, she said, used a sandbag which he made himself, ~ The Goodman woman also said that she saw Millian making a sandbag. Her statement will be one of the prosecution's strongest points against Milllan. Tt is | feared that McIntyre may not be able to identify Millian, but it is belleved by the police that Frankie Goodman’s testimony will prove his connection with the crime, — e LICENSE COLLECTIONS SHOW LARGE INCREASE | Tax Collector Smith Succeeds in Add- ing Much Money to the City Treasury. Tax Collector Smith reported yesterday that the total receipts of the license of- fice for the quarter ending March 31, 1902, were §126,157 10, which, compared with the receipts for the corresponding quarter of 1501, ¥iz., $U38T5, shows an increase of | .

It will have a seating capacity of more than 3000. Special atten- tion will be paid to the matter of ventila- tion. The management says that the seats will be cozy armchairs, and there will be | wide aisles in every part of the theater. On the Mason street side will be a foyer, 65x70 feet. A cafe on the second floor wiil be a feature of the house. There will be a large palm garden in place of a gallery, and fast-running elevators will take pa- trons to the upper portion of the theater. The theater will be well provided with exits, making it possible for the audience to'leave in less than two minutes. O. H.

St. Dominic’s Church will be thoroughly painted inside and out as a result of the entertainment given last night at the Al- hambra Theater for.the raising of funds for that purpose. Every seat was occu- pied and the performance went through wethout a hitch. The juvenile talent of the church was used. The junior choir and choral union, composed of young ladies, presented Balfe's tuneful opera, “The Bo- hemian Girl.” Their brothers in the cause gave a minstrel show, which was as well p‘rescnled as many a more famed aggrega- tion. Father Jones, O. P., wielded the baton and directed the opera. Father Newell, O. P., applied a fresh coat of varnish to many newly painted joxes and brought out some young minstrels, who were a credit to their instructor. The opera was staged and costumed in a splendid manner and the familiar airs were excellently ren- dered by the principals.

Following the fist came a lot of words for which the printers generally use dashes.

But “Frank’” was obdurate and refused to hold a conversation with “Bert.” He was evidently thinking of several little talks he haa had with Mahony and de- sired no more. French was very angry and took an- other sten toward- Mahony. A second punch was only averted through the time- Iy arrival of Deputy Sheriff G. G. Hill- man, bailiff of Judge Hebbard's court. The bailiff is a little tellow and could not have saved Mahoney had he not shown his star. Even the sight of the badge of the deputy Sheriff failed to subdue French and it was only after Mahony had been pulled to one side that he allowed his an- ger to cool. Have Confidential Talk. The County Clerk and his chief deputy then walked to one side of the City Hail corridor, where the trouble occurred, and held an earnest conversation for-several minutes. All that could be heard was: ‘‘You are a good fellow, Frank know that, Bert, but—."" They finally sep- arated, Mahoney going to the office of the County Clerk and French leaving the hall for the Hall of Justice. All this passing of bouquets and fists was due to an article published in The Call of yesterday. French does the work of the chief deputy in the County Clerk's office, but says he does not recelve the pay the office entitles him to. According to a tale of woe he poured into the ears of ex-Assemblyman W. Guilfoyle and J. B. Bonner Monday Mahony takes from his salary $50 per month for the use of “Billy” Deane, Mahony's who is rated as cashier in the County Clerk’s office. Deane is evidently a good cashier, according to French's plaint. French evidently gave up willingly at the end of his first month’s service under Mahony, for no complaint was made un- til yesterday, when his second month's salary was due. Then, according to Guil- foyle and Bonner he refused, to acce Mahony’s request for Deane's ‘“‘div and made such objection that the refusal got noised about. Mahony, Deane and French deny the truth of The Call's story, but the fact re- mains that its publication was the cause of the hostile actions of French. He met Maljony yesterday morning, ‘?hortly after the latter had reached the hall to begin the duties of the day, and when Mahony asked him if he had read The Call, he im- mediately flew into a rage and struck him. “Billy” Deane Makes Threats. Both Mahony and French met in the County Clerk’s office later in the day, but gave no sign that they were other than close friends. ey both asserted posi- tively that no trouble had occurred and denounced The Call's story hood. That the battle really occurred, however, is testified to by Bailiff Hillman :nfl J. Plowden, a janitar employed at the all. A half-hour after the battle occurred a sensation was caused by an open boast made by “Billy" Deane in a saloon in the neighborhood of the City Hall. In the presence of several witnesses Deane an- nounced that unless he got that ‘fifty" he would do more than French did to Ma- hony. Rumors of Deane’s boast soon reached the hall and in a very few min- utes every deputy County Clerk was dis- cussing the affair. Mahony, since he became County Clerk, has become known as the man of many before. This is due to his *“‘promising.” His friends to whom he said he would give positions come to the hall every day and anxiously await the fulfillment of the promises he is so lavish with. The same old stereotyped ‘“Call around again in a are all they get. ning to realize that Mahony's promises are but made to be broken and are grad. | ually dropping out of sight and seeking other employment.

MUSEUM SHOWS ~ FOREIGN WARES New Institution Opens Exhibition in Ferry | Building. | * The Pacific Commercial Museum has be- | gun the exhibition of the products and | imports of foreign countries in the space allotted in the nave of the ferry building .in this city. Several score of cases are day or so” and a hearty shake of the hand | #rTanged in rows, occupying quite a large They are now begin- | area of ground room, and in these Di- | rector Eugene Goodwin and his assist- ants are busily engaged in placing ex- hibits for public inspection. The show, when it is completed, will be interesting | and unique. It is based upon the general idea that has made a great commer- | clal success of the Philadelphia Commer- clal Museum. Raw materials of the coun- tries of South and Central America and Mexico, and some also from the Orient, tries, the first to be taken from the pack- | ing cases and given to the public view. | Peru is represented by quite a collection of raw materials which it produces, in- i cluding cotton, tobacco, alpaca, vicuna, | rice, sugar, cocoa, cocoa leaves and co- caine. The Peruyian imports are also on exuoition. Ecuador has much the same exhibit as Peru, with manufactured chocolate, Peru- vian bark, agave fiber and other flbers added. Costa Rica is represented by a show of cereals, cocoa beans, leaf to- bacco, sugar, coffee, gums and resins and jaboneillo or vegetable soap. Mexico du- plicates much that s shown by the other countries that have been mentioned, and is especially strong on flbers, gum copal. a substance known as “silk cotton” and manufactured fibers. Australia has exhib- its that are to be unpacked in a day or two. In the line of imports, which furnish a guide to the business community concern- ing the godds that are marketable in the countries contributing to. the museum ex- hibit, the most conspicuous feature is the general cheapness of nearly all the im- | ports that have a large vogue, espectally. | in South and Central America. The mar- gin of profit is evidently very small on any shipment, but the consumption of the | goods used as exhibits is so large that the business is well worth striving for. Eng- land and Germany have been exerting their best energies for years to get con- trol of the trade of the South and Cen- tral American countries. Tn addition to the trade feature of the Commercial Museum’s show the educa- tional view of the matter is sure to at- tract attention. In the comstitution and | by-laws of the museum provision is made that the exhibits shall be accessibie to the | students of the college of commerce con- nected with the University of California. In fact, they furnish a trade object les- son. Director Goodwin will probably have all the exhibits =o far received in position Dby the end of the week. Big Sale of Harness.

Judge Cabaniss yesterday senteneed Frank Thompson. a colored youth, who was arrested Monday morning for steal- at 2714 Devisadero street, to pay a fine of §20, with an alternative of thirty days’ imprisonment in the County Jail. It was shown that Thompson was in the habit of stealing papers from that neighborbood and selling them to soldiers at the Pre- sidio. Judge Cabaniss said that too much leniency was shown to newspaper thieves owing to the fact that they were gener- ally boys, but in Thompson's case he was old enough to know better. —————— Business men are satisfied when they lunch at Cafe Zinkand. » are, with the imports to the same coun- | ing a copy of The Call from Mrs. Currier, | | | | Fancy Creamery; large squares. 35 You ltkely pay 50c for this quality.
