King appeared before the com- mittee in behalf of his petition filled some time ago that he be granted a franchise for a telephone system in this city. King ed that the franchise be put up at tion and he would bid $50,000 for the privilege. Chairman Braunhart of the committee irformed King that before acting on his petition the committee would insist on | evidence as to the names of the backers of the enterprise. King demurred to giv- ing any information on those lines at the present time and took exception to any questioning of his sincerity in the proposition. The committee postponed consideration of the petition for three weeks, when King will be expected to | nin:"\rr any questions affecting his peti- tion. Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles sent a communication stating that King secured a telephone franchise in that city and almost immediately assigned it to the Home Telephone company, which is in- stalling a system. Snyder says that tha officers of the company state that their | concern is not back of King’'s application | for a franchise in San Francisco and | that King has no connection with that company. Snyder says it is probable that | King is getting a franchise to sell to any | backers that he may secure. PAYMASTER TRAVELS OVER ENTIRE ISLAND OF LUZON Captain McAndrews Returns After Three and a Half Years’ Service in the Philippines. Among the arrivals at the Occidental is Captain J. W. McAndrews, attached | to the paymaster's department, U. S. A. He has just returned from three years jand a half service in the Philippines. | When ordered to Manila he was the quar- | termaster of the Third Infantry. Captain McAndrews was in many en- gagemenis in the Philippines, including | the many battles around Malolos. He was later transferred to the paymaster's department and was compelled to travel over the entire island of Luzon. He was accompanied by a strong guard, and of- ten traveled with as much as $200,000 in American money with which to pay the troops. | Before Captain McAndrews was ordered to the Philippines he went through the entire Cuban campaign in the commis- sary department of General Bates' bri- gade. Mrs. McAndrews, the captain’s wife, has the proud distinction of being the first white woman to sing in the choir of the Cathedral in Manila. —_———— | Want Him Declared a Bankrupt. Harriet K.

The police of two cities are search- ing for a young and pretty girl who mysteriously disappeared in San Francis- co last Saturday night. She is Miss Pearl Vinest, aged 19, and the daughter of wealthy parents in Fargo, North Dakota, Wwhich she left a week ago in company with Miss Bertha Benson, aged 23, to travel to California and see the sights. It is Miss Benson who has lost her com- panion ‘and it is she who has engaged the police of San Francisco and Oakland to find Miss Vinest. According to Miss Benson’s story the girls arrived in San Francisco Friday night and put up at a lodging-house she cannot now recall. She thinks it was the St. Lawrence House, but the directory re- veals .no. such. place. While they were sleeping Saturday night they were awakened by smoke in their room and cries of fire. Hurriedly dressing they ran upon the street, That was the last Miss Benson saw of Miss Vinest. She went to the Palace Hotel for the night and Sunday went across the bay to friends in Oakland. Miss Benson .says she saw the hotel where they were stopping burned to the grcund Sunday morning, but she cannot find the locality now, although she has searched the city for it. The strange part of it is that the San Francisco Fire De- partment did not quench a fire Saturday night, according to the records. Yet Miss Benson insists she saw water playing on the flames, though she did not see an engine. The girl says her trunks, con- taining $60, were consumed. The police’ think Miss Vinest has been led astray by-a young man who struck up an acquaintance with- her on the train. They believe the fire incident was part of a well-lald scheme to abduct the two girls. - Miss Benson says Miss Vinest was very pretty and attractive. Both 8irls are Innocent farmers’ daughters who never saw a streetcar until they arrived in San Francisco. Feels Very Sorry. Mr. M. J. Keller feels very sorry to dis- appoint many of his customers who have ordered men’s and ladles’ tailor suits to order In not getting ready on time.

Pl Smoldering Fire in Mattresses in Basement of Institution Causes Great Scare but ::hl Damage. i While twenty-four patients were sleep- ing in the California General Hospital, Douglass street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, last night, a fire broke out in the basement of the institution and for a short time it appeared as if the whole bullding and the human lives that it con- tained would be destroyed. It was due to the prompt work of the nurses and doctors of the institution and the firemen that a holocaust was averted. While the fire was burning the whole building was completely fllled with smoke, which ter- rifiled the patients. On the second floor four women climbed out onto the window sills and were so” frightened that they were about to leap to the ground when they were rescued by the firemen. In other parts of the building the pa- tlents, many of whom were suffering from very serious maladles, were driven into a panic and ran about through the smoke-filled rooms screaming for help. The nurses and doctors, however, went to the various wards and succeeded in calm- ing them until they could be taken out. Some were carried out and laid on the lawn by the side of the house, while oth- ers were placed on cots on the plazza The fire itself was almost entirely con- fined to the basement, and had the pa- tlents remained quietly in their beds they would have been uninjured. As it is the shock and the suddenness with which they were moved about will in all prob- ability result seriously to a number of them. WOMEN FIGHT THE FIRE. The fire was discovered by Arthur Mec- Carthy, a boy employed at the hospital and who sleeps in the basement. He quickly arousgd Miss Gertrude Lea, a nurse, and Miss Teresa Klindt, the matron, both of whom sleep in the base- ment. After sending young McCarthy to turn in an alarm, the two women went resolutely to work to fight the flames. They secured a small garden hose and attacked the fire In the basement. They were forced, however, to give up their attempt as the flames and the smoke drove them back. They then ran up- stairs and alarmed the two night nurses, Miss B. Burres and Miss H. Volz, who in turn aroused the rest of the nurses. By this time the firemen had reached the scene. Smoke was then pouring out of the building from every window. In many of the windows the patients were leaning out, screaming for help. The fire- men devoted their attention to these first. Ladders were run up to the windows and the patients carried to places of safety. On the second floor four women, Mrs. | Pyle, Mrs. Doxle, Mrs. Wood and Mrs. | Holmann, all of whom have recently un- dergone operations, had climbed out on the window casements and were prepar- ing to leap to the ground, which is fully thirty feet below the windows. The fire- men, however, managed to rescue them before they injured or perhaps killed themselves by jumping. SAVING THE PATIENTS. TAfter alarming the night nurses Miss | Lea and Miss Klindt succeeded in getting the seven men in the male ward on the second floor to leave the bullding. They | then confined thelr efforts to calming the other inmates. J.

A wo- man who was suffering from a cancer and who was on the third floor, remained quietly in her bed and was not injured. Mrs. Carrie Adams and Mrs. Greach, both of whom had undergone operations but a few days ago, were unable to leave their beds. They were also uninjured, except by the smoke, which interfered with their breathing. Charles Steer, who is a guard at the Napa Insane Asylum and is being treated for appendicitls, was on the third floor. Miss B. Burris and Acting Sergeant E. B. Reihl went to his rescue. They found him badly frightened, but succeeded in getting him to lie quietly on his cot. As his case is quite bad, it is feared the ex- citement will have a serious effect. By the time almost all the patients had been carried out the firemen had succeed- ed in quenching the flames. It was then found that the fire 'had burned scarcely anything above the second floor, and that the second floor itself was only slightly damaged. The flames at no time reached | the third story. An investigation by Fire Marshal Towe divulged the fact that the blaze had orig- inated in a pile of mattresses in the base- ment. It had probably been smoldering for a number of hours. How the mat- tresses became ignited is a mystery. The only fire that is ordinarily in the base- ment is confined to the general heater. The damage will not amount to much over 31600. The building was formerly the residence of Nobby Clark, an eccen- tric money lender, who was for years connected with the Police Department of this city. It has no fire apes. BAD LUCK FOLLOWS REVOLVER OF FOOTPAD Little Ruby Meadows Maimed by Weapon Taken by Her Father From Robber. Ruby Meadows, the 5-year-old daugh- ter of Joseph F. Meadows, a colored por- ter in the employ of the Pacific Syrup Company at 713 Sansome street, was shot through the palm of her hand by her brother Reuben Monday afternoon. The ‘wound is not serfous. The shooting was done with a revolver captured by Meadows from a footpad who sought to hold him up a year ago. Mead- ows took the weapon home and preserved it as a souvenir of the occasion. The Wweapon contained one cartridge, but as the hammer did not work it was not con- sidered to be dangerous. Meadows threw it under the bed, where it was found by the children while at play. Strangely enough, the hammer worked very weil when in the hands of young Reuben. His sister sought to cover the muzzle with her hand, when the cartridge was ex- ploded with the result noted. . The wound was dressed by Dr. Green, who found it necessary to remove several fragments of the digital bones. ————— To Build a Hotel.
