In | response to her inquiries as to where he | had been he would tell her that it was none of her business. She also testified that he was very uncouth and used lan- | guage in public that would humiliate her and cause her great mental suffering. She also said that he had a reputation as a raconteur and would frequently relate stories in her presence that would mor- | tify her, As to his condact at the notel | kept by Colson, she said it was unbeara- ble and the source of public comment. T'his part of her tale was corroborated | by Colson, as was also her testimony to the effect that Betteley would use foul Janguage toward her during the progress of games of whist which were the com- mon amusements of the guests of the ho- | tel.

At her residence in Elmhurst word out that Mrs. Knauer had n Francisco. This advice was given by a yougg woman who stated she was Mrs. Knauer's niece. Attorney August Muenter, who repre- ents Mrs., K r, stated that he was not sure where his client was. Dr. Emil Steltzner of 1234 Geary street, who was one of the attending physicians during Knauer’s iliness, stated that Mrs. | Knauer somewhere across the bay, but that she was too 1ll to be seen. HEIRS HUNT WOMAN. Meantime the representatives of the foreign heirs are scurrying here and there trying to locate the woman who won the old man’s affections and incidentally his money by her devout and assiduous at- tentions during the last three months of his life. She was devotion itself. Every wish was anticipated and every whim was catered to and the day he went on to the operating table he made his final will, cutting off all his blood relations and leaving everything to the woman who had been his wife barely two months. By the will his entire fortune of some- thing more than $60000 was left to her and she was appointed sole executrix. The estate was practically all personal property. Attorney Pohli states that a good portion was invested in San Fran- | cisco and that about $30,000 was in fine securities in the south, He also states that the widow has collected in some- | thing like $16,000 from the estate, which amount she has in her possession now. How much more of the collaterals she has converted into cash he was unable to say. ‘When the case is brought into court the | proceedings are certain to be of a more or less sensational character.. FISH COMMISSIONERS SHOW GREAT ACTIVITY Violators of Game Laws Are Being Apprehended in All Parts of State. Chief Deputy Fish Commissioner Charles A. Vogelsang reports that the of- ficers of the board are spreading terror to the hearts of the game law violators throughout the State. The convictions during t¥e last three months are more than treble the number for the corre- eponding period last year. Deputy W. B. Huestis arrested Edward Celeman in Humboldt County Wednesday for violating the quail law. Justice of the Peace Sowash of Loleta fined the offender $2 yesterday. 4 Deputy A. F. Lea arrested L. E. Brans- comb in the wilds of Mendocino County last week. The sportsman was taken be- fore Justice of the Peace Connors at ‘Westport, and as that official seemed re- luctant to do anything Lea took his man thirty miles across country to Laytonville, where Justice Braden heard the case and fined Branscomb $25. Vogelsang states that the Fish Commission has been in- strumental in the recent removat of Con- nors -from .the office of Justice of the Peace. Ned Brown of Redding has been held to answer before the Superior Court for having fresh salmon in his possession and for using set nets. The aggregate of pen- alties for these two offenses is $300. Justice of the Peace Mulvaney of Sutter County has held Jeff Miles and A. 8. Din- waddie to answer before the Superior Court for using set nets. PR Y Aged Man Run Over.

In that article it is stated that Mrs. Knauer, who was at that time Marla Herkner, had eloped with an undertaker named Louis Schuknecht, who left a wife and two children behind him, In the same article Charles J. Frank, a prominent German of the Twenty-first | Ward, s alleged to have stated that Mrs. Herkner or Maria Rathke, which is sald to be her right name, had eloped from Germany a few years ago with Herkner, who was at that time a lleutenant in the German army, and eleven years her Junior, While in Chicago Herkner ran away with a woman named Peacock. Mrs. Herkner chased the pair to New York, but lost all trace of them there. While in that city she is reported to have fallen into the good graces of Captain Liebe of the Hamburg line. Later on, after she had returned to Chicago, she s reported to have had an escapade at a North Side riding academy, where she is sald to have used a horse- whip on several prominent Germans. A pleasing incldent is related of a little episode which occurred at an initiation into the Order of Mutual Protection, the “Vorwaerts Lodge No. 137,” where, in the course of the meeting, Mrs. Herkner, in a fit of jealousy, threw a cuspidor at the head of one of the women present. Many other interesting anecdotes of a similar nature are also quoted in the artl- cle from the Chicago paper.

B The closing meetings of the twenty- third annual session of the San Francisco Baptist Association were held in the First Baptist Church of.San Francisco vesterday afternoon and last evening.

One of the most interesting of the lec- tures was given by Captaln Luke Bickel last Tuesday evening on ‘‘Gospel Work on the Inland Sea of Japan,” in which Captain Bickel explained the tremendous amount of good accomplished in that country and 'the devotion displayed by the Japanese in the church work. Yesterday afternoon’s meeting opened with a Bible reading by the Rev. Thomas | P. Boyd and the report on State mis- | sions and address by the Rev. E. R. Ben- nett. Following the report by the Rev. Mr. Bennett was a conference on ‘“The Coming Year” and “Better Prayer, Meet- ings” by the Rev. M. Slaughter. Last evening’'s meeting was devoted principally to the young people's socie- | ties. The meeting was conducted by Miss | Adams of the Twenty-third Avenue | Church of San Francisco. Miss Adams afterward led a large choir qf boys in the hymn “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” which was roundly applauded by the con- gregation. Mr. Thomas, representing the Sacra-| mento Baptist Church’'s Young People's Society, illustrated the loyalty, hope and confidence that the young people feel in the church, after which the Rev. Robert Whitaker explained what the church | wanted of the yourlg pegplg and why they were necessary to the welfare of the church. The benediction which concluded the session was given by the moderator, the | Rev. J. George Gibson. GROUND IS BROKEN FOR NEW SYNAGOGUE | Sacred Edifice to Cost $225,000 and | Will Be Completed Within a Year.

A S Certain Bondholders Sue the Directors of Mexican Mine. bt A suit was filed yesterday in the United | States Circuit Court for the Northern District of Californla by George W. Jackson against Alvinza Hayward, H. G. Stevenson, J. D. Arnold, A. J. Ulman and Charles D. Lane, as directors of the Mex- ijcan Anthracite Coal Mining Company, and in thelr individual capacities, and the Mexican Anthracite Coal Mining Company and the Mercantile Trust Com- pany of this clty. The transaction as stated in the com- plaint grows out of the sale of the Com- pania Exploradora’ de Terrenos Car- boniferos en Sonora, & Mexican company, owning 2,496,600 acres of coal land in the state of Sonora, Mexico, through a pro- moter, C. P. Eagan, to the defendants, who formed a corporation known as the Mexican Anthracite Coal Mining Com- pany, and thereupon the latter company capitalized itself at $1,500,000 and issued first mortgage bonds upon the property, setting out that it was the owner of all this coal property and floated bonds on the market. Among others who came into possession of the bonds was George Jackson, the plaintiff, who owned to the extent of $70,000. It is alleged that the defendants, with a fraudulent design to defeat the value of these bonds and defraud the bondhold- ers, forfeited this coal estate by reason of the non-compliance with their contract of purc! came valueless. The purpose of this suit is to establish the liability of the directors personally by reason of the alleged fraudulent transac- tion; and it is further alleged in the com- plaint that the ultimate epd of the de- fendants is to oust the present bondhold- ers and repurchasé from this Mexican company at a lower figure. There are about $700,000 worth of bonds outstanding held by Senor Garcia, Gov- | ernor of Sonora, and others and this suit is prosecuted on behalf of these bond- holders. About six months ago, when the de- fendants went down to Mexico and took possession of the premises, there was a dispute, and some holders, it is claimed, got some Yaqui Indians to make a rald upon the adverse claimants, which was done, and several miners were killed. The body of land in question is a well- known deposit of anthracite coal. It was exploited by an English company and is considered to be one of the largest de- posits on the continent. Kinley & Kinley are attorneys for the plaintiff. SN R ACCUSES HIS PARTNER OF STRIKING AND BITING HIM Samuel Creger Arrested on a Charge of Assault With a Deadly ‘Weapon. Samuél Creger was arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman Douglass on a warrant charging him with an assauit with a deadly weapon. He was feleased on $1000 bonds. The complaining Witness against him is J. W. Weinberg. * Creger and Weinberg are partners in the talioring business at 534.Geary street. Welnberg alleges that they had some words yesterday morning about the busi- | ness and Creger, without saying a word as to his intention, seized hold of a pair of shears from the cutter's table and struck Welnberg a viclous blow on the head. “I was quite unprepared for the at- tack,” sald Weinberg, “‘and before I had recovered from the blow Creger pounced upon me like a wild animal and buried W's teeth in my ear. I mangéd to shake him off, when he got my fingers in hils mouth and bit them to the bone.” The First Contribution.
