Ex-Chief of Detectives John Seymour, now employed by the Fair estate, slipped quietly into town last Tuesday night, all the way from Paris, where he had been collecting information concerning the au- | tomobile accident in which Mr. and Mrs. | Charles Fair met their deaths. Seymour | left this city on August 17 and until he | arrived here Tuesday nobody in this city, | save a few persons directly interested in his work, knew where he was or what he was doing. Captain Seymour made the trip to Paris in thirteen days, arriving there on Au- gust 30. He visited the scene of the fatal accident and had a personal inter- view with Madame Burdell, the keeper of Fairs met their tragic deaths. “Yes, 1 did make a quiet little sneak,” admitted Captain Seymour when seen last night. “There is not much to say con- cerning my trip. Of course I had an ob- ject in going there, but the result 6f my investigation I am not at liberty to dis- cuss in full. I will say, however, that the press reports concerning the accident were quite correct. The whole story of the accident has been truthfully told. I enjoyed the trip very much, although I did not have very much time to spend sight-seeing. “The terrible accident happened a short distance from a litile town called Pacy-sur-Eure, about forty-five miles The demolished automobile is now stored away in Paris and it is doubtful if it will ever be used again by anybody connected with Mr. Fair's fam- {ly. I am not at liberty to discuss any of the other features of my trip.” The journey has had a beneficial effect on Captain Seymour. He looks the pic- ture of health, even though he says it was not a vacation. Pressing business and the nature of his task made it im- perative for him to do some fast travel- ing from the time he left until he got back. —_——————— Mrs. Hawley Will Not Prosecute. Mrs. Gertle Hawley, who was shot by H. V. Van Camp on the stairway of the Grand Southern Hotel, Missior street, near Seventh, about two weeks ago, was able to appear in the Police Court yes- terday. She positively refused to swear to a complaint against Van Camp, as she alleged the shooting was accidental. She was struggling to take the revolver from him, when it accidentally went off. Judge Conlan announced that unless a complaint was sworn to between now and to-morrow he would have to dismiss the case. woman’s Nalure 50 dprepares the system for the ordeal that she passes through the event safely and with but little suffering, as mumbers have testified and said, “it is worth its weight in gold.” $1.00 per bottle of druggists.

A. Brown Ex- plains Why She Res- cued Chinese Girls. Says Butte Chief of Police Aided Her to Get Out of Montana. BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 2%.—The Inter- mountain to-day publishes a story con- firming its statement of several days ago to the effect that the wife of Chin Quon, a local Chinese merchant, and another irl, who were spirited away Monday ight, were abducted by interested parties from California, who made the Butte police the dupe of their schemes. A prominent San Francisco mission worker, | whose name is connected with the abduc- tion, is wanted by the local police, scem unable to decide the right of the matter. Chjn Quon is very wealthy and influen- tial in the Chinese quarter here. He has filed papers, against the local police for entering his house without a warrant and that they and Mrs. A. A. Brown, r in a Chinese Rescue Mission, conducted by the Presbyterian church in | rancisco, forcibly entered his house | aried away his wife and child. The here were told that the women police were mistreated and upon the representa- tions of Mrs. Brown went with her after night and made the alleged abduction. Mrs. A. A. Brown was interviewed last ght at the Chinese Mission Home at 920 kidnaping. She said stands onglish, wrote to the mission about a year ago, stating that her hus- | She | band was treating her cruelly. asked the mission people to rescue her, as Chin Quon intended to sell her and marry his slave servant girl, Lon Ying. Mrs. Brown said she corresponded with the girl and tried to get the Portland mis- sion to take her out of Butte. Finally Choy Gay wrote that if she was not res- cued she would kill herself. It was after the receipt of this letter that Mrs. Brown went to Butte and told the police of the girl's threat. “There was no kidnaping,” said Mrs. Brown in conclusion. ‘“We went to the door of Chin Quon’s home and the two girls walked out and entered a carriage, which took us direct to the train. The Chief of Police of Butte assisted us out of tcwn and in fact rode part of the way with us in the train, the husband had summoned several Chinese and raised quite a disturbance. We have the girls safe in our mission.” Chin Quon's wife is 18 her companion is three y ars younger. MARRIOTT MUST SWEAR . TO COMPLAINT IN COURT | Assault to Murder Case Against Wil- | liams and Beale Is Continued Till November 6. ‘When the case of Thomas H. Williams and Truxtun Beale, charged with assault to murder, was called in Judge Cabaniss court yesterday morning Harry T. Cres- well, their attorney, said Williams was anxious to go East, as he had very im- portant matters to look after in New York next month, and Beale was also de- sirous of leaving the city on private busi- ness. They would ask for a continuance till November 6, as Mr. Shortridge had said at the last calling of the case that Marriott would be unable to be in court for four or five weeks. Attorney Shortridge said that Marriott desired to file a complaint at once, as he wanted to stop prevalent rumors that he had no intention of doing so. gested after the defendants had been re- arrested and given bonds under the new complaint, Shortridge said. He suggested that the Judge go to the Waldeck Saha- torium and get the complaint sworn to, but Attorney Creswell protested against the Judge traveling around his bailiwick for suzh a purpose, and Cabaniss de- clined, saying it might put him in an embarrassing position. The Judge thought that Mrs. Marriott could swear to the complaint, as she was an eye-witness to the alleged assault, but sald there was no phase of the case that rendered such a step necessary. The case was contin- ued till November 6. ————————— BOY’S MOTHER SAYS ACID WAS SQUIRTED ON HIM Mrs, Clara McGeough Secures War- rant for Arrest of Frank Bou- del on Felony Charge. Mrs. Clara McGeough, 7 Dykeman place, swore out a warrant In Judge Fritz's court yesterday for the arrest of Frank Boudel, a boy, on the felony charge of throwing corrosive acid upon the person of another, the alleged victim being her son, Charles Willmot, 12 years of age. ‘Willmot and a companion were playing in Dykemsn place Thursday afternoon, when they were joined by Boudel, who carried a bottle containing sulphuric acid. Boudel also had a squirtgun and he amused himself by squirting the acid at the hats of the other two boys, enjoying the spectacle of seeing it burn holes in the hats. His aim was not true on two occa- sions and the acid struck Wilmot on the cheek and neck, severely burning him. Policeman W. W. Wilson was notified and he sent Willmot to the Central Emer- gency Hospital in the patrol wagon, where his burns were treated, after which he was taken home. Wilson was told by some of the bbys that Boudel had pro- cured the sulphuric acid from Joseph Moser, a messenger boy employed in Lengfeld’s drug store on Sutter street, near Jones. Since the affair Wilson has been search- ing for Boudel, who has no home, but has falled to find him. —_— FAIN EXPRESSES REGRET FOR SHOOTING FRISCHKORN Eugene Fain, the stone mason who shot Andrew Frischkorn, saloon-keeper, 45 Third street, Thursday afternoon, ap- peared before Police Judge Fritz yester- day morning. He was instructed as to his rights and the case was continued for a week. Fain had recovered somewhat from his debauch and expressed his regret at the shooting. He said he hoped that Frisch- korn would live. He was crazed with liquor at the time of the shooting, he said, and had keen roughly handled while be- ing ejected from the saloon. It was learned at the German Hospital yesterday that there was no change in Frischkorn’s condition: that he was free from fever, and unless unfavorable symp- toms developed he would recover. At present the doctors will not probe for the bullet. ——ee e Licensed to Marry. OAKLAND, Sept. 25.—The following marriage licenses were issued to-day: Friend THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atlasta.

Car 63 of the electric line, in charge of Conductor St. John and Motorman Ed- ward Darcy, was on an in-bound trip and, according to witnesses who were in the vicinity of the accident, came thun- dering along at a frightful speed. The car had started on its wild run from the corner of Twenty-ninth and Guerrero streets. As the car proceeded its speed seemed to increase and to such an extent that the momentum carried it over the | steep grade at Twenty-sixth street. Seated on the forward dummy was Mrs, | James McLean of 3040 Valencia street, who had boarded the car at Glen Park. | The frightful speed of the runaway car told her that something was wrong, and, realizing her danger, she clung to the stanchion of the car with all her strength. 3 i At the railroad crossing, near Twenty- | sixth street, a heavy train, consisting of | fifty heavily laden freight cars, drawn i Dby three engines, was passing. Two of the engines, the extra ones that help trains | over the steep grade, had crossed and the third was about in the center of the street when the runaway electric car -ashed into it with great velocity. Because of the steep grade at that point the out-going freight trains pass at com- paratively slow speed and seldom attain more than seven miles per hour. Engineer E. D. Lynch, on the third en- | gine, was looking out of the cab window on the right side and was not aware of the approaching danger until the crash came. He ran to the other side, after putting on brake in time to see the | electric car speeding backward down the hill, the force of the -collision releasing the power and reversing its direction with equal rapidity. ‘When the crash came Mrs. McLean was thrown from her seat to the ground with great violence. She was picked up in an unccnseious condition and taken to St. Luke's Hospital. After reganing con- | sclousness she complained of severe pains. A superficial examination by the rgeon in charge showed that no bones were broken, but that she was suffering | a great nervous shock. The runaway car, after backing two blocks, was brought under control. The entire front of the dummy was smashed and many windows of the car were broken. The engine of the freight train was so badly damaged that it was deemed advisable not to continue the run with it and it was sent to the shops. Motorman Darcy made a general report to his superiors when he brought the damaged car to the car house. He claimed that in some manner the car had suddenly attained a great speed and that try as he would he was unable to cut off the power. From the time the car had started on its wild run he made every ef- fort to get it under control, but without avail. Beyond a few scratches Darcy was un- injured. A Mrs. Welch, who resides at 929% Na- toma street, was a passenger on the car, but was not hurt. After giving her name to the police she went home unattended. R e w w] ] TEAWISTERS WIN ~ ANOTHER FIGHT Employers Accede De- mands of the Drivers. At a special meeting of the Brotherhood of Teamsters, held In the Turk-street temple last night, the reply of the em- ployers to the recent demand of the Brotherhood for certain concessions in the matter of wages and hours was sub- mitted and conforming, as it aid, in all essential particulars with the Brother- hood’s demands, was formally accepted. The teamsters were not, nowever, satis- fled in detail with the proposition of the employers and another effort will be made to have the request acceded to in full. ““There will be no friction whatever be- tween the Brotherhood and the employ- ers,” said President Casey after the meet- ing adjourned shortly before midnight. “Everything is as serene and lovely as a May morning."” As a concessfon to the employers the Brotherhood amended article 5 of their demand by inserting the words “harness and stable” after the word “horses,” making the first paragraph of their ul- timatum read ‘A teamster shall not go to the barn on Sundays or holidays, but if employed to do so shall receive a regu- lar day’'s pay to take care of horses, stable and harness.” After acting on the employers’ reply, the Brotherhood admitted forty addition- al teamsters to membership of the as- soclation. —e—— Default in Henry Wong Him Case. George D. Collins, attorney for the co: plainant in the suit brought by Henry ‘Wong Him against Mary E. Callahan of the Clemgnt Grammar School, filed an order of default of the defendant in the United States Circult Court yesterday. The suit was brought to compel the de- fendant and the Board of Education of this city to admit Henry Wong Him to the privileges of the public schools. The matter will be taken up in court next week. R s Colored Man Missing, N. B. Williams, colored, of Oxnard, Cal., has written to Chief Wittman, ask- ing him to locate his brother, G. E. Wil- liams. The last named has been traced to the St. Elmo House, 550 Mission street, where he occupied a room September 17, but left next day without taking his per- sonal effects. Detective Dillon has been detailed on the case. SEPTEMBER 26 1902. THIRST IAKES SIWANSON SHo0T Fisherman Fires When He Is Refused a Drink. Attempts to Kill Two Men ‘Who Decline to Furnish Him Liquor. St Al Otto Swanson, a fisherman, recently yé- turned from the north, ran amuck on/the water front last night with a large re- volver, and before the police succeeded in effecting his capture he had wounded two men, one of them seriously. Patrick Reilly, a longshoreman, was standing quietly before the bar of a sail- ors’ boarding-house at 625 Davis street at 10:30 o'clock when Swanson entered and asked him to buy a drink. Reilly refused to purchase and Swanson pulled a re- volver and shot him in the left breast. The bullet entered above the heart, shat- tering the collarbone and came out above the left shoulderblade. Policeman Gwin of the Harbor station was attracted by the report and had Reilly conveyed to the Harbor Receiving Hospital. The as- saflant ran away immediately after the shooting. An hour later John J. Fanning, a sa- loonkeeper at 308 Folsom street, was ap- proached by a man whom he recognized later as Swanson, and asked for credit for six bottles of beer. Swanson was re- fused and he whipped out his revolver and fired at Fanning, the bullet grazing the latter's left arm. Policeman R. E. Szmple took Fanning to the Harbor Hos- pital. Half an hour after the last shooting Swanson returned to Davis street and Broadway, near the scene of the first at- tempt at murder, where he was taken into custody by Policemen Barnett and Clifford. He was immediately brought before Reilly, who readily identified him as the man who had wounded him in the breast, and later Fanning declared that he was the same man who had winged him because he would not give the fish- erman six bottles of beer on credit. Swan- son was under the influence of liquor and refused doggedly to say anything about his trouble. He was locked up on two charges of assault to murder. Reilly’s wound is deemed serious. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hos- pital later, where the physicians in charge stated that he would probably re- cover unless blood poisoning or other complications ensued. After Swanson's arrest Fred Purin of 106 Broadway, and A. Schwartz, Sansome and Pacific streets, identified him as a man who had drawn his revolver on them during the evening. At the jail the prisoner said his name was John T. Hagelund, but he is known on the front as Swanson. ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN FOR THE NEW ST. JOHN’S CHURCH Friends of Rev, Peter D.

Alleges That He Commenced Abusing Her Five Months Ago. ‘When Lieuterant John' L. Swift of Cal- ifornia’s National Guard returned from the Philippines with the First California Regiment, he was but a private, but he won the love of pretty Emily Kimball. They were married less than a year ago. On Tuesday last it became known that the pretty young wife of the soldier was about to bring divorce proceedings. The suit was filed, and the complaint discloses the fact that the Swifts have for the last five months heen living in anything but peace and harmony. < Mrs. Swift alleges that within a few ‘faonths after her marriage in December, 191, her husband gave evidence of pos- sessing an ungovernable temper. She charges that he continually worried, nag- ged and annoyed her, and she alleges “struck, pinched, bit and abused her” on many occasions. RECEIVES COMMISSION. Mrs. Swift asks for a divorce and per- mission to resume her maiden name, al- leging that to live longer with her soldier husband would be impossible. It is only within the last two months that Swift re- ceived his commission as a lieutenant in the National Guard. Elsie Magnin, who was married to Charles A. Magnin in September, 1892, filed a suit for divorce yesterday, alleging that her husband has treated her cruelly for the last two years. She asks for a divorce, a division of the ecommunity property and the custody of one of their two children, a boy, 2 years of age. The other child, also a boy, she alleges she is willing shall remain in the custody of his father, with whom he has been for some time. Mrs. Magnin alleges that for two years her husband has not treated her with common decency; that he frequently cursed her and has during the entire time refused to convérse with her. IS A NERVOUS WRECK. She claims that his conduct has made her a mervous wreck, and caused her great mental and physical suffering. In a suit for divorce filed yesterday by Lena Frances Dickinson against R. F. Dickinson, a receiver for the United Railroads, Mrs. Dickinson alleges that her husband has greatly humiliated her by making slurring remarks about her relatives, and by behaving in a surly, domineering and sulky manner toward her. She alleges further that on one oc- casion he took a revolver to bed with him, thereby causing her to become greatly frightened. The Dickinsons were married in August, 1891, and have two children. They reside at 1547 Ninth ave- nvie. Suits for divorce were filed by Amelia Mitchell against C. H. Mitchell and by Pauline Glesel against W. J. Giesel for cruelty. Divorces were granted to Clara Pearson from Ossie Pearson, A. S. Dahmer from Louisa Dahmer and Milton G. Ely from Anna A. Ely for desertion, and Maria Beckett from Bertram Beckett for neglect.

The medi- cal testimony was that the baby had dled of malnutrition from natural causes. There was also testimony that the moth- er, being a poor woman, was obliged to go out working by the day, that she left the child with her sister, and that the sister was often under the influence of liguer and lived in dirty surroundings. The baby weighed only four pounds and a half. M. J. White, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, ascertained that the child was not being properly cared for, and took it to the Children’s Hospital. The jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes, and added: “We, the jury, feel that the people by whom the infant was surrounded are worthy of censure for keeping the decedent in such unfavorable surroundings. We also wish to commend the zeal and attention given this matter by Mr. M. J. White, the sec- retary of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and e feel that the good work he has done should be encouraged.” g7 < Ami i T (wyrsamke) FOR ALL BANKS Every Effort to Be Made to Relieve Financial Strain. Secretary Shaw Explains the Position Taken by the Government. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Secretary Shaw to-day gave out the following state- ment: Money once covered into the Treasury (and this, of course, includes the Sub-Treasuries) cannot thereafter be deposited in banks. All ecustom receipts are by law payable to the Sub- Treasury and Treasury. The only fund there- | fore available in banks is internal revenue and miscellancous receipts before they have been actually covered Into the . These amount to about a half-million per day, and since the stringency arose to their fullest ex- tent have been steadfastly returned to et tion This policy will be continued for thirty or sixty days if needed, and longer if necessary. In the meantime national bank circulation has been increased about seven million dollars, largely induced by the distribution of deposits and the further increase to the amount of eight millions is assured. Ail rumors of experiments have beem unm=« authorized by the Treasury Department. It is to be hoped that the public will place no credence in vagaries started by irresponsible and untrusted men of the street. It is also hoped_that the country will understand that the Treasury Department to the extent of its ability will stand by the banks, East and West, North and South, and it is hoped that | the banks will stand by every business and every interest that is worth protecting. The only way to get money out of the Treas- ury into circulation after it has been actually covered in is by the payment of legal obligations of the Government. These may be anticipated. The department did avticipate the October interest. It now offers to antici- pate all interest maturing between October 1 and the end of the fiscal year if presented within sixty days, at a rebate of two-tenths of 1 per cent per month, which is at the rate of 2.4 per cent per annum. In other these obligations will be prepald at such a rate as to allow the Government to profit thereby at 2.4 per cent per annum. The amount ma- turing before June 30 is in round figures $20,630,000. The profit to the Government, if this offer shall be accepted, will be in round figures .000. There will be me experiments tried and no policy adopted until after mature dellberation and no feelers will be sent out. Anything to the contrary should be discredited. Regarding the published report that he had resigned, Secretary Shaw said: 1 denied this rumor in Chicago. It would seem unnecessary to repudiate a story that has no authority and is built upon a false as- sumption_and_is enlarged upon simply to I space. The President and Secretary of the Treasury are in thorough harmony. Of this there need be no doubt, if the speeches made Dby the President and thé Secretary will be read and compared, instead of the headlines. | DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS. 10 BE DEPENDED 0N Because It Is the Experience of & San Francisco Citizen and Can Readily Be Investigated. A stranger lost in a large city would place far more dependence on the direc- | tions given him by a local resident than the guidance of another stranger like himself. This is a natural consequence of experience. It's like a ship in a strange port—a trusty pilot familiar with the har- bor is always called upon to brh safely to her moorings. So it is with en- dorsement; we doubt the sayings of peo- ple living at distant points because we can’t investigate, but public expression of local citizens can be depended on, for ’tis an easy matter to prove it. Evidence like the following is beyond dispute. B. Edgecomb of 934 Mission st. says: “I knew from the condition and the action of the secretions from my kidneys that those organs were not doing their work completely or as satisfactorily as I wished.. 1 tried different medicines, but without any effect or if any it was, so un- appreciable that I could not notice it. It was different with Doan’s Kidney Pills. They do not act on the bowels, but act di- rectly upon the kidneys, = strengthening and purifying them so that they perform their functions p: R For sale by all dealers. Price, 50 cents.
