She is described as a | handsome blonde and only“arrived in this | city a month ago from Italy. where she | | had been studying in one of the foremost colleges of that country. Boragni is nearly distracted with grief and spent the night in searching for some clew to her | whereabouts. He stated that his daugh- ter is attending a dressmaking Institu- tion on Market street and during the last | three days he accompanied her to and | from that place. Yesterday morning the girl stated that she was #ble to find her way without his assistance and started off unattended The grief-stricken father believes his daughter inadvertently boarded a car of some other line than the one on which she should have come home and was car- ried out into the suburbs. As she speaks pothing but Italian, it is possible that she vainly tried to find her way home or fell into the hands of unscrupulous persons, who have decoyed her away. Captain Martin detailed detectives on the case and the patrolmen have been instructed to keep a close lookout for the child. At the time of disappearance she wore a light brown dress and a white straw hat. ! wrzsan” TENOX PTCL CAVTADLRERL. -7 - OVLE” DUPES FRIENDS WHO AIDED HIM Deputy Coroner Spends Money Given for | New Start.

Erat et DISCUSS NEW PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS Yosemite Valley Commissioners in Favor of Commencing Work of Clearing Immediately. A meeting of the Yosemite Valley Com- missioners, was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. . Those present were Commis- sioners -W. H. Metson, William G. Hen- shaw, William G. Kerckhoff, Frank H. Short, J. C. Wilson and Thomas A. Hen- der. The committee on the preservation of the valley reported in favor of commenc- ing immediately the work of clear- ing away the underbrush and draining . the moist. places in the valley and distributing the waters more evenly over the dry places, so that the entire floor of the valley might be turned into a grassy meadow. Word was received from the valley that a forest fire had started near the Glacier Poiliit Hotel, but that it had been checked and that another forest fire was raging on Mount Starg King, and it was determined to call upo§ the United States patrol to put it out. Discussion. of the improvement of the _roads in the valley consumed considerable time. It was determined that the only economical and the best way of improv- ing the roads was to sprinkle them with oil. The only difficulty tha¥ confronts the commissioners s the great cost of freighting the oil over the mountains, which wiil bring the aggregate cost of olling a. twelve-foot road the first year up to $1250 a mile. It was determined to defer any action until the highway com- missioner had investigated the roads in the valley—their soil and their adaptabil- ity to ofl.

HONOLULU, July 20.—The proceedings | in the Supreme Court to-day in the dis- barment cases of Attorneys George A. Davis and J. A. Magoon assumed an ex- citing and sensational phase at one stage and hostilities in open court were m- ‘mlnv'u Attorney G eral Andrews has prosecuted the charges against the de- fendants with all the vigor at his com- mand and as a consequence has created some personal enmities. The expectation of the public at large has been that seri= ous trouble would develop at the trial. Davis is a man of forceful, aggressive character and he resented the attitude of Andrews, who claimed that the dwiniling of the fortune of the aged and unfortun- | ate John Sumner from $110,000 to $30,000 within a few months could be readily traced to the avarice and unprofessional conduct of a number of the attorneys en- gaged in defending and opposing his in- terests. The feeling ran so high.to-day between Davis and Andrews that pistol talk was indulged in and Intimations made of the possibility of settling the differences of’ the men outside of the court room. Happily, however, no oppor- tunity was allowed for a breach of the peace, but the friends of both gentlomen are greatly cogeerned over the future. The case of Attorney Magoon was sub- mitted and taken under advisement. e eo—— PHOENIX BUSINESS MEN SUFFER LOSSES BY FIRE Dry Goods Store and Plumbing Es- tablishment of Total Value of $100,000 Are Burned. PHOENIX, Ariz., July 20.—The most distastrous fire . that Phoenix has ex- perienced in a decade broke out at about 2:30 this morning and raged until § a. m. It was practically confined to the dry goods store of the Alkirq Company and the plumbing establishment of D. H. Bur- tis. The two stores were situated on Washington street in the middle of a solid business block. Both ‘were one-story buildings, while the surrounding proper- ties are all two-story brick. The store and stocks were completely destroyed, the total loss being estimated at $100,000. The floor to Alkire’s did not burn through and a portion of the reserve stock in the base- ment will be saved unless ruined by water. The Alkire stock was estimated at nearly $70,000, but well insured. Burtis® stock was valued at $15,000, one-third in- sured. The buildings were worth $20,000, insurance unknown. The fire originated in the back of Burtls’ store caused pre- sumably by spontaneous combustion, as a quantity of oils and cotton waste were in the buildings. Only by the prompt work of the firemen were the Elligson block on the east and the Cotton block on the west saved from destruction. A slight loss was sustained by tenants by damage from smoke and water. e —————— GENERAL COBOS RELIEVED OF COMMAND AT PANAMA Erratic Officer’s Irregular Action Is Not Sustained by the Colom- bian Government.
