DEED REVERTS 10 3UTRO HEIRS Supervisors Act on Fail- ure to Complete Boulevard. - The joint committee on Judiclary and Streets recommended a resolution yester- day authorizing 1. W. Hellman to return to the Sutro heirs a deed held by him in escrow conveying a right of way to the city for the widening of Dewey boule- vard. The committee approved the City Attorney’s opinion that the agreement entered into by the city with the late Adolph Sutro to| complete the work of constructing the boulevard within a cer- tain prescribed time had not been com- plied with, The Judiciary Committee postponed ac- tion until next Friday on Supervisor Mc- Clellan’s proposed resolution providing that all franchises granted in the future shall contain a clause prohibiting dis- crimination against union labor. Chair- man Comte ruled that it would not b wise for the committee to make any r ommendation while negotiations are pending for the settlement of the strike. The petition of the Harbor Commission that Bender Brothers be exempted from the provisions of a resolution ordering the removal of obstructions at the foot of Third sireet was denied. NEW DEPARTMENT STORE Will Occupy the Murphy-Grant Build- ing on Market Street. That San Francisco merchants are alive to the growing importance of this city as a commercial center has of late been many times shown, but probably no re- cent event in business circles has created more interest than the announcement that the premises formerly occupied by J. J. O'Brien & Co., corner of Jones and Mar- ket streets, have been leased and will be remodeled for the accommodation of a modern general department store. The firm will consist of A. J. Praeger & Sons, a corporation_ of this city and Portland, and Henry Goldwater, formerly largely interested in Prescott and Phoenix, Ariz. Mr. Praeger, who is at the head of af- fairs at the “Red Front,” so well known to frequenters of Market street, states that the new store will be conducted as a popular priced and thoroughly modern general department store, where the best values and the lowest prices will always be associated. The store will be opened about September 1, after being entirely remodeled and equipped for the purpose of handling the trade to the best advan- tage. Only the most competent and best | help will be employed, and the prevailing idea will be to cater to the women in much the same manner that the Red Front does now and will continue to dn to the men. The proprietors of the projected busi- ness are well known to the commercial world and success for the enterprise seems positively assured. Those inter- ested in the growth and welfare of San Francisco will welcome the establishment of so important an enterprise in the city. —————— PETITION IN INSOLVENCY.—Louis Stel- ler, grain inspector for the Produce Exchange, filed a petition In insolvency yesterday in the TUnited States District Court.

MYRON WOLF STATE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER Impression That A. J. Clunie, the Incumbent, Will Surrender the Place to the New Appointee May 17---Sheldon G. Kellogg Aspires to Republican Nomination for Office of Attorney General The fate of Walter N. Dimmick, who is accused of stealing $30,000 from the Mint, is now in the hands of the jury. The case was submitted to the jurors yester- day afternoon, and as they had been un- | able to agree upon a verdict up to 9 o'clock last night, Judge de Haven or- dered them locked up for the night. S. C. Denson of the firm of Denson & Schlesinger, special counsel for lhevGov- ernmert, began his argument at 10 o clock |in the morning. The counsel’s manner | was impressive. The sophisms of Attor- ney Coilins were laid bare as with the surgeon's knife, and the conclusions to which his conspiracy theory would lead were illustrated in a most convineing manner. i “It was by the merest accident,” con- tinued Denson, “that Dimmick was caught coming out of the receiver's room witn two sacks of gold coin in his hands a 1ew minutes beture mlun\ghl.’h\valch- Eius, whose beat s un the upper i::fix‘", was to gu on auty at mdmght, vut on this particular vccasion he arrived a little earner than usual. He 00K a seat in the jower hail near the main entrance to rest himseil, and whue 80 seated there Limmick, who aid not expect to fina any one in tne corridor, came out with the bags of gold. ‘Ihat was one of tne occasions on which Limmick got away with a part of the stolen ¥0,uw. il was the means under Providence of ex- posing the piottings and the wiles of this wicked man.” DENSON SCORES DIMMICK. arge made by Collins in his argiment Cthase & Conapiracy - existed against Dimmick to prove him the man guiity of stealing the money for the pur- pose of relieving Superintendent Leacn of the responsibiuty ior the loss, Denson sald that lLeach was responsible on his bonds for the whole of the $30,00, no mat- ter who stole it, and he could noi there- fore have had any pecuniary interest in convicting the accused. Dimmick was ac- cused of the crime because he was the oniy man that could have committed it under the circumstances disclosed by the evidence. ‘“I'hese circumstances are small in themselves,” said Lenson, “but taken in their entirety no other conclusion is probable or reasonable but that of Dim- mick’s guilt. It was bad enough for Dim- mick to have stolen the money without having attempted to take advantage of this ignorant and inexperienced druggist from Martinez, Cole, and deliberately to scheme to place him in the’penitentiary. Oh, for a lash in every honest hand To'whip the rascal naked through the land. The counsel next called the attention of the jury to the significant fact that Dimmick had instructed Cole not to re- move the trucks from in_ front of the pigeonholes from which had been re- moved the six sacks containing the $30,000. The dress suit case episode was taken up nrext. Denson sald he believed that Mrs. Dimmick had told the -truth when she testified that she had never seen her husband in possession of a dress suit case. She was a noble woman, standing by her husband as a soldler stands to his guns. “No man contemplating a crime,” continued he, “will tell his honest wife what he is doing. He would be afrald that her conscience might force her to betray the guilty secret, and Dimmick was too shrewd and too deep to take his wife Into his confldence in this matter. Taken by surprise when he was asked in the investigation in the Mint to explain that episode, Dimmick denied that he had ever been in possession of one. Having made that denial formally and.his words having been taken down, he was obliged during the trial to stick to the’ story he had told at first.” Counsel then explained why Watchman Ellis had not reported to Superintendent Leach the fact that he had seen Dim- mick at midnight with two sacks of coin in his hands by saying that Ellis did not suspect that anything was wrong. Even had he so suspected he had no witness to corroborate him, and Chief Clerk Dim- mick could put his thumb upon him and crush him. CHARGE TO THE JURY. In charging the jury Judge de Haven sald there had been no evidence to Justity the conviction of the defendant on the second and third counts of the indictment, which charge embezzlement. The evi- dence did not show that the money had ever been instrusted to the defendant in his official custody, o the jury should confine itself to the consideration of the charge in the first count—that of larceny. The jury was also instructed that the good character of the accused was a fac- tor in the case and a circumstance tending in a greater or lesser degree to establish his irnocence. The jury was also in- structed to accept with caution testimony as to verbal admissions' alleged to have been made by the defendant and also testimony given by the detectives. The jury also, in considering Dimmick’s own testimony, had a right to take into con- sideration his great personal interest in the case. It was {mmaterial whether or not the affairs of the Mint were conducted with carelessness if the jury should find that the offense had been committed by the accused. The jury retired at 2:20 p. m. —_— SAYS m HER OPPROBRIOUS NAMES Mrs. Alberta Ross Brings Suit for - Divorce on Ground of. Cruelty. r Alberta P. Ross, who was married to John 8. Ross at San Jose in October, 1505, commenced an action for divorce yesterday on the ground of cruelty. She alleges that Ross for the last year has caused her untold misery by accusing her of unfaithfulness and by calling her op- probrious names. George Reck, who is being sued for di- vorce by Agnes M.

A wordy war ensued in Judge Troutt’s court yesterday during the hearing of ob- Jjections to the supplemental final account of the executors of the estate of the late | Jullus Friedman. Attorney R. E. Hough- ton precipitated the battle of tongues by volcing his objections to the claim of T. D. Riordan and T. Z. Blakeman for $10,- 000 attorneys’ fees. Houghton, as repre- sentative of putative heirs, claimed that the fees had not been earned, and also objected to several other things in the ac- count. Attorney Riordan, in answering Hough- ton’s objections, stated in strong lan- guage that the fee asked for was partly earned and would be earned in full be- fore the estate was closed up. The mat- ter was finally settled by the attorneys submitting the question of fees to Judge Troutt, who announced, in taking the case under advisement, that he did not feel that he could allow a demand for more fees until the filing of the final ac- count. Riordan and Blakeman, as attor- neys for executors Edward inde, Alvord and Julius Friedberg, have al- ready received $11,500 attorneys' fees from the estate, which is worth at the present time $500,000. NO MORE SALOONS IN VICINITY OF PRESIDIO Police Commissioners Decide Not to Renew Nor Grant Any Licenses. The Police Commissioners at the meet- ing Tuesday night passed a resolution that none of the saloon-keepers in the vieinity of the Presidio would have their licenses renewed nor would any new licenses be granted within that locality during thelr tenure of office. A com- munication was sent yesterday by Secre- tary Cadwalader to each of the fifteen | saloon-keepers' who are affected by the resolution notifying them of its purport. - The interested saloon-keepers are Carl E. Ritter, Dayvid Tarpey, John R. Hodges, Willlam J. Alexander, Thomas and Law- rence Powers, Antone Phillips, Valentine Behrendt, Francis Lande, Antone Meyers, Louis P, Matkin, Philip Ranft, P. Ander- son, Gustav O. Weinhold, August Koehncke and Michael J. Collins. Their 1lcenses expired within the past week or wo. : ———— Farrell Is Held for Robbery. The preliminary examination of Charles Farrell and W. R. Beebe on a charge of | robbery was held before Judge Cabaniss yesterday. They were accused of hold- ing up Francis Burnett, a veteran of the Crimean war, outside a saloon at 655 Sac- ramento_street, on the morning of April 18 and-robbing him of $18. After hearing the evidence the Judge dismissed the charge against Beebe and held Farrell to answer before the Superior Court. The executive committee of the pro- motion committee of the State Board of Trade, of which A. Sbarboro is chairman, | is anxious to complete the work of rais- | ing funds in order that its plans for the| promotion of immigration may begin to | take deflnite shape early. A list of sub- | scribers will probably be published about the middle of next week, and the com- mittee desires that merchants and others | intending to subscribe shall do so in ad- vance of that publication. Referring to the fact that Mr. Sbarboro, president of the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association, has appealed to the Native Sons of the Golden West for their support in developing the resources of the State. Grand Vice President Eliza Doug- las Keith of the Native Daughters of the Golden West sald yesterday: It is my earnest hope that our order may render effective service In tHis matter. For | years I have advocated the use of home prod- ucts and the upbullding of our State’s inter- est. I want to see the label ‘‘made in Cali- fornia” crowd out all brands of manufacture that enter in competition wwith what our Golden State can produce. Why, for instance, should we Californians buy orange marmalade made in Scotland, .where never an orange ETOWS, in preferenice to the home product? The suggestion that the Native Sons’ parlors select some {ndustry of its own locality and by consultation with those directly Interested proceed to devise means whereby the parlor might ald in its development applies equally well to the Native Daughters’ parlors. I would suggest that the Merchants’ and Producers’ Assoclation have display envelopes printed for ‘such localities as can be thus ex- ploited and that the cost be placed at sta- tloner's usual price, and that the Native Sons and the Native Daughters use them and do so liberally in’ their correspondence. For fiestas and boom occasions the aid of illuminated stationery is included. Why not use it for the purpose of steadily booming the State? Let them prepare the envelopes and postal cards and I can answer for the Native Daughters. | They will use them. . ALFRED C. RULOFSON IS SUED FOR DIVORCE Myktery Surrounding Filing of Pap- ers Leads to Belief That Charges Are Sensational. Alfred C. Rulofson, buyer for the firm of Baker & Hamilton, is being sued for d@ivorce on the ground of cruelty by Jen- nie Rulofson. What the exact charges are has not been made public, but it is said that the trial of the suit before Judge Hebbard this morning will result in _startling developments. ‘When the suit was filed by Mrs. Rulof- son, last Tuesday, Deputy County Clerk Joseph Riordan enjered it on the divorce slip under the name of Rule, County Clerk Mahony and his deputies readily lending their services in an effort to keep the matter secret. Rulofson achieved considerable notorie- ty some time ago by making claim to the estate of ‘the late Winslow G. Hall, a wealthy sea captain, whose adopted son he claimed to be. The suit occupied the attention of the courts for many months, finall resulting in a verdict against Rulofson. —_———— Mrs. Kempff Leaves Small Estate.

A jury in the United States Circult Court ‘Yyesterday gave Mrs. Maud Van Buren and her minor children a verdict against the Mountain Copper Company, Limited, for $15,000 damages for the loss of her husband, John Van Buren. Van Buren was killed March 1, 190, by a cave in a stope of the Mountain Copper Com- pany, Limited, in Shasta County. He had gone to work for the company, not as a miner, but as a surface laborer. After a | few days he was placed underground in o stope and was not warned of the dan- gerous nature of the place.

VALLEJO, April 2.—Sixteen United States sallors, after serving four months in San Quentin for mutiny, were returned to Mare Island to-day for their pay and discharge from the service. Their offense ‘was a refusal to clean out the bilges of an extremely dirty former Spanish gun- boat, the Manila. The men had worked on the task until dinner time, when they were ordered to dinner. On arriving at table the order was countermanded and they were sent back to conclude their vile task before eating. They refused to obey. The provocation was great, but that did not lessen the crime of insubordination. They were court-martialed and sentenced to from two to ten years each. They were sent to San Quentin Prison. There they have worked out four months of their time. Upon a rehearing and inves- tigation they were ordered released and yesterday the tender was sent to bring them here to receive their discharges. —_——— GILROY, Avril 25.—Citizens of Gilroy at a mass-meeting last evening decided to hold a fireman’s tournament on September 9 and 10.
