[ Mrs. N. Zuboff Causes Arrest of Mrs. White and E. K Keener. Edward Kirby Keener, who, only a few days ago, figured in a sensational case in the divorce courts, and Mrs. Hepry White, residing at 217 Capp street, were | taken into custody last night on warrants | charging them with having induced a | minor child to leave its parent. The com- | plaints were sworn to by Mrs. N. Zuboff of 216 Devisadero street, who alleges that & conspiracy exists to marry hey daugh- ter, Sophie, aged 17, to Keener and that in furtherance of the scheme the girl is being kept from her. What has become of Sophie is a mys- tery to the police. She was not at the ‘White home and information concerning | her is withheld by the parties concerned. | Captain Mertin, who has the case in charge, will make every effort to locate | her this morning and produce her in court. The warrants were issued by Judge Ca- baniss shortly after 6 o'clock and were given to Detective Bailey to sefve. Keen- er was arrested at his apartments in the Hotel Lenox and refused to state any- thing about the case, except that he does | not .know where Miss Zuboff is:at.the present time. The arrest:of Mrs. White was -accomplished with difficulty, - the woman - barricading herself in. a ‘closet @fter leading Bailey a merry chase through the house. Mrs. Zuboff was pres- ent when the arrest was made and de- manded the right to see her daughter. This request was refused, as was also any information concerning the girl's where- | abouts. DAUGHTER DISAPPEARS. Mrs. Zuboff's occupation as a nurse made it impossible for her to be at all times with her children and several years | ago she placed Sophie and two younger sons in the keeping of Mrs. White. All went well until, as Mrs. Zuboff cldims, | was made aware of Keener's atten- s to her daughter. When she learned the pair contemplated marriage she took steps to provide another home for girl and prevent her from seeing ner. In this she was resisted by Mrs. te and recently even the girl refused to converse with her mother or to come into & ‘room where she was. Finally So- phie disappeared, hence the issuance of Zuboff's suspicion that a conspir- existed wi strengthened when, sev- ¥s ago, letters of guardianship over the girl were applied for by Mrs. White. The case is still pending in the | courts, It is Mrs. Zuboff's belief that Mrs. White's request be granted she would immediately give her consent to & marriage and that she would be| powerless to prevent it | — . | White and his wife evidently anticipated | | & visit from somfe of Sophie's relatives Jast night and made arrangements | with the Seventeenth-street police station to send an officer to the house on claim that th When Detecti Mrs. pboff, the e would be a disturbance. | e Balley, accompanied by arrived the lights in the windows disappeared and even at the time of the arrest the place was in total | darkness.

Going up Market street from an easterly direction, Dolan was about to turn into the firehouse, when he observed a woman on the sidewalk, coming in the same di- rection as he was driving. It was Mrs. Ake. Dolan called to her in a loud voice, “Look out!” and at the same time, think- ing she would stop and allow him to pass, turned his horses onto the sidewalk. UNDER IRONED HOOFS. There is a slight rise at the entrance of the firehouse and it is necessary to make a spurt to enable the horses to carry the two-ton engine into the building. Just as the horses made the quick movement Mrs. Ake made a sudden start as if in- tending to pass before the animals reach- ed the entrance. . F. Jordan, a member of the company, was standing on the opposite side of the entrance, and seeing the danger made an KENNEDY ON TRIAL FOR MURDER OF ROBINSON Motion of Défendant to Dismiss on Question of Conspiracy Denied. The taking of testimony at the trial of William B. ' Kennedy, - allas “Yellow,” charged with the murder of Policeman Eugene C. Robinson at Valencia and Six- teenth streets on the morning of January 21, was commenced before a jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday morning. The witnesses examined were Police Cor- poral George W. Russell, Dr. L. D. Baci- galupl, Miss Fannle Keller, Miss Loulse Mary Cosgro, Detective John A. Fitzger- ald and William Condrin, At this stage the defendant’s attorrbys made a motion to dismiss on the ground that there was no evidence to show that the defendant conspired with his co-de- fendants to shoot any policeman that in- terfered with them. The Judge relieved the jury from further attendance till this morning and ordered all witnesses to re~ turn at that time. After hearing the ar- guments of counsel on the motion to dis- miss, the Judge dented it —_———— THE PUP ROTISSERIE Again Open for Business. Sen Francisco undoubtedly takes the lead of all American cities for its many notable restaurants ‘and caravansaries, among which the famous *“Pup Rotis- serie,” located at 10-14-16 Stockton street, ranks among the foremost. ““The Pup” has for years been in great favor with the public, and the establish- ment is noted throughout the entire coun- try for its menu and excellent service. The well deserved success of the proprie- tors, Mr. J. Loupy and Mr. L. Parisot, in the past will, beyond doubt, follow them in their new venture. They have remodeled” the entire establishment, fit- ting it up at a great expense in a most comfortable and luxurious manner, with steam heat, fast elevator, large French plate mirrors, elegant furnishings and all the modern conveniences. The ‘“Pup Rotisserie” has endeavored by leaving no stone unturned in the way of accommodations, privacy and conven- ience to supply their patrons th an es- tablishment that will please thel most ex. acting.

He was barely in time to save himself from being struck. Dolan also saw the danger and made a herofc_attempt to stop his horses. He succeeded in swinging them to one side and ‘thus preventing the heavy wheels from passing over Mrs. Ake's body, but her head was ground beneath the boller, the bottom of which runs close to the grofind. DIES AT THE HOSPITAL. The ambulance was immediately sum- moned and Mrs. Ake was removed to the hospital. After a - careful examination Drs. Maher and Murphy pronounced her injuries fatal and Mrs. Ake expired a little less than an hour afterward. Assistant Engineer P. H. Shaughnessy of the Fire Department made a rigid investigation of "the circumstances at- tending the accident and ordered that a full report be made to the department headquarters. Driver Dolan was very much affecte over the accident and stated that he did everything possible to avert it. Dolan has been in the department seven years and was recently transferred from engine 6. to engine 19. This is his first mishap. He 1s well spoken of by his superiors as a careful driver. Dolan was arrested by Detective O'Dea and charged with manslaughter, but was immediately released on bail. ADVERTISEMENTS. Thirty Years of Severe Heart Trouble. Obtained No Relief UntilI Tried Dr, Miles’ Heart Cure— It Cured Me. Since the advent of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure the general public has learned to know that heart disease is curable. Fluttering, palpi- tation, shortness of breath and heart pains rapidly disappear before its mn{c influence. Itis, nequ]Yed as a heart and blood tonic. “My case was one of long standing. As early in life as my thirty-sixth year, or more articularly November, 1863, when returning ome from a journey, T was taken with a se- vere congestive chill, which caused my whole frame to shake, and which a noted physician Rmnounced a case of severe congestion of the eart. From that time on for thinr years 1 gradually became enteebled in_health, until 1892, my sufferings became intense from shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart. I could obtain no permanent relicf, although I spent much money in procuring medical advice, until I took several bottles of Dr. Miles’ New Cure for the Heart. I continued the remedy until my health was restored, and always_keep a supplyon hand for any emergency. I amnow past 70 years of ‘age and weigh 176 pounds. I have also used Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills, Anti- Pain Pills and Nerve Plasters with good re- sults. The Anti-Pain_ Pills proved mest effective in a most painful attack of neu- ralgia, and also for sciatica.

COMMERCIAL MEN Army Transport Service. Military Officials Refuse to Take the Matter F Seriously. R The military officials and the commer- cial men of the city were engaged yes- terday in arranging plans for the defeat of the scheme of the Seattle people to divert the transport business to that port. All are thoroughly awake to the situa- tion and while the general opinion is that the Government vessels will continue to carry the army’s men and supplies from this port to the Philippines,-still no stoue will be left unturned to thwart any at- tempt to convince the War Department that it is best to ‘do otherwise. A spe- cial meeting of the executiYe officers of the commercial organizations of the city will be held at the Chamber of Com- | merce this afternoon to discuss the mat- ter and take whatever action seems best. Several prominent business men have been busy for the last few days in se- curing information as to rates that may be-given by steamship lines for conduct- ing the transport business. It it can be arranged, one bid at least will be sent to Washington to offset that made by the Hill people of Seattle. If no company will take the matter up & proposal will be made that the Govern- ment transports be purchased and an in- dependent line established. At all events a very strong memorial will be sent to Congress and to Secretary Root through the California delegation at the national capital to the effect that San Francisco cannot spare the transport service and giving reasons why the War Department cannot afford to abandon it. The meeting will be thrown open to all who may have to offer a solution of the difficulty. It is expected that the attend- ance will be large, as the city’s business men are.aiive to the fact that a transfer of the transport business would be very disastrous to local commercial interests. IS NOT ALARMED. Major Devol, generalgsuperintendent of the sound city will take the business from San Francisco. In speaking of the mat- ter yesterday he said: 1 do not think for a moment that Secretary Root contemplates taking the whole or any considerable part of the transport trafflc to Seattle. In my opinion the people are unduly Wwrought up over the call for bids. Accord- ing to law, that must be done annually. If it can be shown that private parties can con- duct the service better than'the Government, well and good; but that has not been done and I think will not be done, It any such move as dispensing with the whole service was to be made, 1 shouid prob- ably have known of it. I have neither pri- vately nor officially received an intimation to that effect. The contract called for in _the proposal for bids would extend only to June 30, 1903. No steamship company wants to fit up Its vessels with costly apparatus for so short a time with no. certainty that it can continue to hold the business. The Government would insist on refrigerator, ventilating and hospital fittings that would bave to be introduced at enormous expense on any of the ships named In the Seattle propo- sals. I know what those boats are. To be- gin with they could hardly get them ready for use before the contract would expire. Then some San Francisco firm could very likely | underbid them for the next year. Thers has | always been more ot less talk about giving the transport business into the hands of pri- vate parties, but it never has amounted to | anything yet gpd is not likely to in the near future, COMPARES EXPENSES. Their bid of $4 50 on freight is low. I have always said that they could beat us on frelght rates from Seattle. When it comes to passengers the case is different. They of- fer to carry first-class passengers for $100 each and second-class passengers for $35 each, We are beating that from this port right along, 1 have all the figures fo show it ang will re- fer them to the War Department when I am o ordered. At present a sailing of a transport costs on an average, approximately $80,000. That In- cludes an allowance for repairs, office work and all reguiar or incidental expenses. e are doing the business very economically and cheaper than any private firm can handle it I am sure, The figures to which Major Devol re- ferred are the passenger and freight schedules under the new order of ' things since the reduction of the military force in the Philippines. There are five trans- ports in service at present. One sails from this port on the first of every month. The average cargo is 130 first-class pas- sengers, 750 second-class passengers and 12300 tons of freight each way. | At the rates given by the Seattle bid- | ders 300 first-class passengers would cost the Government $30,000 and 1500 second- | class passengers would cost $52,500. That eans that a transport, all expenses i cluded, would save the Government $2500 |a trip and carry freight for nothing -t that., For the 2300 tons of freight thc | attle bidders would want $10,350 extra. | The Government expense is therefore | $50,000 a month and the rate proposed by Hill's people would be $92,850. ARMY MEN LAUGH. The military officials are one and all confident that San Francisco cannot and | Will not be sidetracked In the transport service. They ridicule the idea that Se- attle might grab the business while the commercial men of this city are dreaming. They present several good reasons why the War Department cannot afford to make the change. In the first place, Seattle’s climate is | against her. Soldiers accustomed for two years to the torrid heat of the Philippines cannot safely be landed at the northern port at all seasons of the year. In this city they can. There is one of the finest general hospitals in the United States at the Presidio and the Government would never undertake to dispense with it i and erect a counterpart at Seattle for the | benefit of the convalescents who are ar- riving on every transport from our pos- sessfons in the Far East. A complete set of cantonment barracks has just been built at the Presidio for the avowed purpose of sheitering re- cruits bound ' for the Philippines. The reservation has within the last four years added to it scores of improvements to the end of making it a permanent recruit station. If the transport service went to Seattle most of this work would have teen of no avall, as no troops but the regular garrisons would be here. The War Department has apparently had constantly in mind the idea to make the Presidio a great depot on the way to the Philippines. None of the officers sta- ticned here admit that there may be a danger of the much talked of removal. They all say the merchants are afflicted with an altogether unnecessary and un- warranted hysteria. HARRIMAN IS AT WORK. An executive officer of one of the city's lergest commerciaPorganizations safd yes- térday that he had reason to think that B. . Harriman had taken steps to keep the transport business in San Francisco, It wag declared that the great railroad man would not allow the traffic to leave his lines for those of his northern rival. It \ was said, too, that strong pressure had been brought to bear upon the Washing- tor authorities by Harriman's . agents when the alleged danger was first sighted and that they have been given the assur- ance that no such important move was contemplated. California’s Congressmen and Senators are fully aware of the situation and will cppose the ambitious northerners at ev- ery step. The commercial men feel that in’ vlew of the comparative size of the iwa’ cities San Francisco is entitled to the preference, all -other things being the transport service, has no fear that | | ADVERTISEMENTS. THE OLD RELIABLE ‘Abstolutely Pure 3 THERE s NO‘SUBSTITUTI' 3 RAGEY EVIDENGE IN MOXEY CA3 Mrs, Shipman Narrates Interesting Conver- sations. From evidence adduced in the ey case on hearing before Judge Coffey yes- terday afternoon, it was apparent that the aged and wealthy widow who married Oliver N. Moxey, the “professor” of physical culture, was very much in love with her young husband. Mrs. Mary F. Bhipman, who resides at 1235 Leavenworth street, testified that Mrs. Moxey told her she would rather lose all her money than lose her Moxey. Mrs. Moxey also told the witness that Moxey fell in love with her at first sight. This delectable bit of evidence was drawn from the witness with some effort. by Mr. Hoeffler. Mrs. Shipman acknowledged taken four lessons from Hoover. She also said she was a great friend of Mrs. Mox- ey before her marriage and had advised her not to transfer any of her property to her young husband. LOVED HER MCXEY. “I told her,” said the witness, “‘not to make over any of her property to Moxey, for if he loved her he would not want it. Mrs. Moxey told me she loved her hus- band devotedly and she would rather turn over her property to him than let her daughter or son-in-law gain possession of it. Mrs. Moxey told me before her marriage that there was a very wealthy widow named Smith, staying at the FPalace Hotel, who was in love with Moxey and was anxious to marry him.” The attorneys for Mrs. Mandeville, daughter of Mrs. Moxey, who is striving 16 have her mother declared mentally in- competent, tried to show by this bit of evidence that Moxey and Hoover used the mythical Mrs. Smith as a means of forcing the wealthy woman into a hurried marriage. “Did Mrs. Moxey tell you when and where Moxey fell in love with her?” asked Attorney Hoeffler of the witness. “Yes, sir; the first time he saw her,” replied Mrs. Shipman. “Did she tell you where?” “Yes, sir: at Hoover’s. GAVE MOXEY MONEY. The witness then told of a conversation that énsued between Mr. and Mrs. Moxey at Ukiah. She said Moxey asked his aged wife for sbme money and she turned over to him a sack full of money. Shortly afterward Mrs. Moxey, in the presence of the witness, asked her young husband how much there was in the sack and he flippantly replied: “None of your busi- L e B e N (] equal. The campaign will be a hard one at any rate and the commotion aroused in this city undoubtedly will have the ef- fect of keeping miost of the business here, as has been the case since the war started. e I WANT TRANSPORT SERVICE. Retail Merchants’ Association in Favor of Retaining It. There was a very small attendance at the special meeting of the San Francisco Retail Merchants' Association in Pythian Castle last evening. Not more than twen- ty-five members listened to addresses delivered by Charles Wesley Reed, E. P. A. Troy ‘and others on the question of municipal ownership of public utilities. A resolution was adopted calling upon the citizens of this city to vote for municipal ownership of the Geary-street road. The following resolutions in regard to the transport service were also adopted: Whereas, There is an effort being made to deprive the port of San Francisco of ‘the Gov- ernment transport service between this port and the Philiopine Islands; and whereas, this action on the part of our national Government Would prove an irreparable loss to the com- mercial and industrial interests of San Fran- cisco and be the means of depriving a large number of men of work, be it Resolved, That we, the San Francisco Retall Merchants’ Association, In general meeting assembled, earnestly petition the national Gov- ernment and Consress to continue the presert transport service to the Philippine Islands from this port and not deprive a large num- ber of men of the means of livelihood and the merchants of a source of trace- and be it fuc- ther Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Government at Washington and Congress. Another resolution was - adopted fn- dorsing the services of A. Van der Nail- len Jr. as 2 member of the Board of Pub- lic Works and requesting Mayor Schmitz to reappoint him in January next.
