[ — YOUNG MARRIED WOMAN ACCUSED OF LARCENY Peculiar Conduct of Special Officer Frank L. Neil May Be Investigated. Mrs. L. J. Maguin, a young married woman living at 635 Golden Gate avenue, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Po- liceman Edwards on a warrant charging | her with petty larceny. The complaining | witness is Frank L. Nell, a special police- man at Hale Bros.’ store, on Market et, who alleges that on Monday Mrs. Maguin stole two purses belonging to cus- tomers, one containing about $13 and the other about $1 20. Mrs., Maguin's statement of the case places Neil In a pecullar light. She saild that he arrested her on Monday in the store and she handed him the purses, claiming that she had picked one up from the floor and had found the other one hanging by a chain on a chair. Nell told her to meet him the next day at 11 o'clock at Sixth and Mission strests, and { he would in the meantime endeavor to see the owners of the purses. She met him, and he told her that he had seen only one of the ladjes, but if she would meet him | at Market and Taylor streets at 4 o'clock | he would let her know if he had seen the other. She was there, and he sald he had | | not seen the other lady, but that Mrs. | Maguin was to meet him at the same | plage yesterday afternoon. She was there, and Nell met her with Policeman Ed- ‘wudl. who placed her under arrest. —_——— | PUSSY GETS THE POISON AND BULL PUP ESCAPES Wnrrn.nt Out for Arrest of Real Estate { Agent for Killing a | Feline. | Miss Nora Sullivan, who lives at 1832 | McAllister street, secured a warrant from Police Judge Fritz yesterday afternoon for the arrest of “John Doe” Carter, a real estate agent on Montgomery street, on the charge of administering poison to an animal. Miss Sullivan owns a prize bull terrier, and she alleges that Carter had often threatened to polson the dog because its barking disturbed his slumbers. He is a neighbor of the Sullivan family. On No- vember 6 a plece of poisoned meat was thrown over the fence into the yard of the Sullivan house, close to the dog’s ken- nel. The terrier was chained, and he made frantic efforts to reach the piece of meat, but falled. A favorite cat of Miss Sullivan came along, and espying the piece of meat ate it, notwithstanding the frantic protests of the terrier. Two minutes after the cat swallowed the meat she turned up her toes and gave up the ghost. Miss Sullivan alleges she can prove that Carter threw tire piece nt meat over the fence. um for Damages.

Conference With Senator Hanna and Other Leaders Is Expected. ;- LA General George Stone will leave San this evening. It is quite well understood in the Republican camp that he will confer with Senator Hanna and other leaders of the party before he returns to the city. | There is no foundation for the conjecture that the Postmastership of San Francisco has anything to do with his expedition to | the national capital. He goes to Wash- ington in response to telegrams from men high in the councils of the Republican party. General Stone was chairman of the Re- publican State Committee throughout the dential campaign of 1900. When the message was conveyed to party leaders in the East that California gave 40,000 plu- rality for Willlam McKinley many .con- gratulations to Stone were flashed over the wires. Senator Mark Hanna expressed special delight over the management of the campaign in this State. During the past week General Stone has exchanged views on the political situation with representative workingmen of the State and is fairly familiar with politi- cal conditions on this coast. Informa- tion derived from press dispatches and private telegrams causes the impression here that Senator Hanna will again man- age the national campaign on behalf of the Republican party. The Republican National Committee will meet in December to designate in which the convention shall be held and to fix the time for delegates to assemble. Early action in this respect is desirable in order that the city win- ning the convention honors may have ample time to arrange for extension of the customary facilities. There are no indications that S8an Fran- cisco will enter into the competition for the honor of entertaining the Republican National Convention of 1904, as the great Triennial Conclave of Knights Templar will be held here next summer. During the present year the public spirited citi- | zens of San Francisco contributed in gen- erous fashion for the reception of the President and for the entertainment of the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Later on, perhaps in 1%08, San Francisco may resolve to enter the fleld in competition with East- ern cities for the national "convention prize, —_— e Insolvent Farmer. Jacob F.

WANT NEW BIDS FOR SEAWALL Commissioners Decide to Stand by Engineer’s Estimate. Refuse to Award Contract Be- cause Too Much Is Asked. e The Seawall Commission at the regu- lar meeting yesterday declded that it would reject all bids for the construction of the King street seawall and would advertise for new offers. Commissioners Spear, Kirkpatrick and Mackenzie were present, and each took a lively interest in the subject in question. discussed. John McMullen, representing the Atlan- tic, Gulf and Pacific Company, which had made the lowest bid for doing the work, was present and made a strong appeal in the interests of his company.. The Commissioners, however, relied upon the original estimate of Engineer Lott D. Norton, who placed the cost of construction at $100,000, as against the bid of McMullen's company of $111,100, and decided that from the figures in their pos- session, based to some extent on the price that the Santa Fe Railroad Company was they could not in justice to themselves and to the city’s welfare award the con- tract on the terms offered. Mayor Schmitz arrived after the meet- ing was concluded. However, in deference to his ex-officio position on the commis- sion the matter was again opened up and informally discussed. The Mayor was of the opinion that the contract should have been awarded to McMullen’s company. The difference of $11,000 over and above the engineer’'s estimate, and even added interest and sundry small costs, appeared to him to be a minor detall in the matter. Commissioner Kirkpatrick was, however, of an entirely different opinion. He did not intend for a single instant to allow the city's money to be wasted, he said. The work under discussion is the con- struction of 600 feet of seawall. In the all probability be constructed, and the based upon the King street wall, is the subject now at issue. ———— Three Workingmen Injured. The hands and fingers of three work- ingmen were bruised yesterday afternoon and all three men were treated at the Emergency Hospital. The left index finger of J. L. Lang, an employe of the Risdon Iron Works, was cut off by a planing machine. Samuel Carter lost the tip of the third finger of his right hand at the Union Iron Works, and T. Wil- llams was badly cut on the left hand while at work on the roof of an O’'Farrell- street dwelling. which The pros and cons of the case were fully | paying for work of a similar character, | near future about 4500 feet more will in | price of construction of this latter will be | SOCIETY WOMAN MAY BE THIEF —— % Crockery Establishment Robbed in Daring Manner. Suspicion Points to One Who Is Said to Have Social Rank. —_—— The crockery and glassware establish- ment of the Nathan-Dohrmann Company on Sutter street received a visit from a sneak thief shortly before noon on Tuesday, and handsome cutlery to the value of $20 was taken. The manage- ment of the concern is of the opinion that the daring thief is no other than a well known society woman. A pecullar phase of the case is that last year a similar amount of the same pattern of cutlery was stolen and the sécond theft makes the set complete. The theft occurred in what is known as the Thanksgiving display room. This store and each year, shortly before Thanksgiving, crockery, glassware and cutlery of the value of several thousand dollars are on display on several large tables. The room is in charge of two saleswom- en whose duties are to look out for the | articles and show them to prospective buyers. The room is carefully watched by the two young women, so it would be impossible for any one but a clever sneak thief to take any of the articles on the tables. The young ladies who were in charge of the room on Tuesday say that just before the noon hour a handsomely gowned woman, wearing a large muff, came into the room and began to examine the things on the tables. She seemed much interest- ed in the high art china and glass and asked many questions. The woman had been in the room sev- eral minutes when an elderly woman and two younger ladies entered and began to examine the articles. The first woman then left the place and soon thereafter the other three took their departure. Shortly after the latter three left the room the young women in charge noticed that five costly butter knives had disap- peared from one of the tables. Then they made a hasty examination and to their surprise discovered that five hand- some teaspoons and a pair of knives and forks were also missing from two of the other tables. Suspicion points strongly to the woman with the muff, who is sald to be a wealthy society dame. The person who stole the articles last year is undoubtedly the same that got the silverware on Tues- day. The management does not feel jus- tified in notifying the police authorities, but a watch will be kept on the display room for the woman supposed to be the thief. —_———— England's trade with her colonies is much more valuable, dollar for dollar, than that with other countries, because | it is largely manufactures.
