The mysterious death of Mrs. Irene Up- son early on Thursday morning from | what is presumed to be morphine poison- | ing has been treated with startling indif- ference by the Coroner's office and the Police Department. No effort was made yesterday by the Coroner’s office to secure any definite statement from the dead woman's hus- | band as to the assertion made by Dr. Preston that Upson had secured morphine and had admitted that he gave the poison to his wife Deputy Coroner McCormick stated ye: terday that until the report of the city chemist was made as to the result of the nalysis of the dead woman's stomach | and the medicines found in her room no further action would be taken. Chief of Detectives Martin finally de- cided Jast evening to place Detective E Gibson on the case, and instructed the | detective to find the woman’s husband and take him to police headquarters. Up to a late hour last night Gibson had been unable to locate Upson. The action of the Coroner's office and the Police Department in the case is surprising. Though the doctors that at- tended Mrs. Upson have positively stated that they did not prescribe morphine for the woman, the statements of Dr. Pres- ton are that when he called to see Mrs. Upson early Thursday morning she was dying from morphine poisoning and short- ly afterward succumbed. ‘Whether the woman took morphine or whether it was administered to her, either accidentally or with felonious intent, has not been investigated by any official. The city chemist will probably make his findings to-day as to the analysis of the stomach of Mrs. Upson and the con- tents of the pills prescribed for her and found in her apartment. When the city chemist has made known the result of his analysis the date of the inquest will be set by Coromer Leland, and all parties concerned will be summoned to give tes- timony. TUp to a late hour last night the Cor- oner’s office and the detective department had not secured the slightest evidence to throw any light upon the mysterious death of Mrs. Upson. —_—— Fire Commissioners Meet. ‘The weekly meeting of the Fire Commis- sloners was held yesterday.

ARTHUR DAVIES 15 EXONERATED Court Finds He Did Not Mismanage Father’s Estate. Arthur Davies, executor of the will of his late father, Llewellyn Davies, the well-known lumberman, was completely exonerated of the charge of mismanaging the estate yesterday by Judge Troutt, and he was also found to be free of any intent to defraud his mother, Jane Da- vies. The petition for his removal as ex- ecutor, in which the charges were made and which was filed by his three sisters, Belle Davies, Sarah St. Clair and Eliza Thorrold, was denied, and the order tem- porarily suspending him, i{ssued when the petition was filed, was revoked. In deny- ing the petition Judge Troutt took occa- slon to state that there was not one of | the young man’s acts that could be con- strued into an intent to do wrong to any one or better himself at the expense of “It 1is mistakes, but there is no evidence show- ing that they were caused by anything but an error in judgment. There has been nothing introduced here to show that he intimated or threatened his mother, or that she is in any way incapable. On the contrary, the evidence shows that the es- tate has been ably handled by the young man.” Llewellyn Davies died several months 2go, leaving an estate worth $25000. In his will he left it all to his widow, with the exception of $ to each of his seven children. Arthur. and Llewellyn Davies and Mrs. Davies were appointed executors of the will in the document. The two last named declined to serve, and Arthur was The estate consisted principally of the assets of the Truckee Box and Lumber Company. The business was greatly developed by the ex. ecutor and was then transferred to a cor- poration called the Davies Box and Lum. ber Company, all the stock of which, with the exception of a few shares, was held by Mrs. Davies. For thelr services fn connection with the business Mrs. Davies transferred one-third of her holdings to each of her sons, Arthur and Llewellyn intending to provide for the other mem. bers of the family out of the remaining third and the other funds of the estate, This 14 not satisty the others, and they immediately filed charges against their brother, accusing him of exerting undue influence over his mother. It developed a family row, for the mother and Annie Moran, another sister, defended the ex- ecutor and strongly objected to the inter- ference of the other children. —_——— The dampness in your room can be easily dispelled by using a gas heater for a few moments morning and eve Buy one from San Francisco Gasm-nn!x’i Electric Co., 415 Post street. . ———— No One Will Prosecute Her.

Sold > THREATENS TUTOR WITH VS BO0ILY Hea Miss Murray Would Do Violence to Mrs. I. D. Ostrom. Unpleasant Culmination of Trouble Over Drawing Course. Assistant Supervisor of Study Tells President Woodward She Will Wreak Vengeance on Fre- mont School Teacher. -~ The merry war that is now on in the school department over the alleged diffi- culty of the drawing course under Miss Katharine Ball's supervision had an un- pleasant culmination last Wednesday, when Miss Elizabeth B. Murray, assistant supervisor of drawing, threatened to do bodily violence to Mrs. I. D. Ostrom, a teacher of the seventh grade in the Fre- mont Primary School, who had incurred her displeasure. The threat was made before President Woodward of the Board of Education, in the absence of Mrs. Ostrom it is true, but it conveyed in no uncertain terms the intention of Miss Murray to vent her dis- pleasure. It appears that Miss Murray expressed her dissatisfaction at the drawing work as done by Mrs. Ostrom’s pupils, and complained to the board that good results in the study were not being obtained by Mrs. Ostrom. The last named took issue with Miss Murray and called a council of her assoclate teachers, including Miss Rose Goldsmith, principal of the school, who agreed that the drawings were re- markably good. SUBMITS THE DRAWINGS. Mrs. Ostrom advised to submit the drawings to President Woodward for his opinion. Unfortunately the drawings had been returned to the pupils, but Mrs. Os. trom succeeded in ring nine of them, | which she sent to Woodward, together with a communication, in .Which she| stated that she had submitted them to| an expert, who said they weregyorthy of pupils in the High Schools. oodward thought the drawings were meritorious and sent for Miss Murray, who when she saw them said: “Those are not the drawings that Mrs. Ostrom showed me and which I criticized. They have been retouched, and are cer- tainly better than those that I rejected.” ‘Woodward informed the irate Miss Mur. ray that Mrs. Ostrom had assured him | that the drawings were those denounced | by Miss Murray, and it was then that the last named made her threats of personal | violence to Mrs. Ostrom. “Mrs. Ostrom tells a deliberate lie,” sald Miss Murray In excited tones. I will smash her face. I'll punch her head on| some dark night. Even if she substan- tiates it, she’ll get it in the neck some day.” Woodward was thunderstruck at the words, .and_to muke sure that he h heard aright he jotted them down a:fl repeated them to Miss Murray, who ac- knowledged that she had pronounced them. President Woodward reported the matter to the Board of Education, which is now considering whether action should be taken against Miss Murray. Mrs. Os- trom is deeply pained at Miss Murray's verbal attack, and later brought several of the teachers of the school in a body to HOSPITAL PLANS ME 1N DINGER Change of Site May In- validate the Bond Issue. o Manson Says Designs Are Adapted Only to Alms- house Tract. ——e If the Board of Supervisors accepts the recommendation of the Board of Health that the new City and County Hospital, for the building of which bonds to the amount of $1,000,00 were voted by the people, be built on the present site on Potrero avenue instead of on the Alms- house tract, the bond Issue with respect to the hospital will, in all likelihood, be invalidated. Commissioner Manson of the Board of Public Works intimated yesterday that this would be the practical effect should the original intention of the Board of Supervisors declared in the call for the election fof public improvements to place the hospital on the Almshouse tract be changed. The Board of Public Works,” said Manson, “has at great expense prepared plans for a hospital on the Almshouse tract, a site which I have all along con- tended was not a proper one to minister to the needs of the afflicted poor. How- ever, upon the order of the Board of Supervisors, City Engineer Grunsky pre- pared the plans which were adopted by the Board of Public Works, but which I now believe will never be used. “The plans, of course, were designed to meet the requirements of the Alms- house tract and certainly will not do for the present site on Potrero avenue, inas- much as the climatic and geographical conditions are of an entirely different character.” - There is some doubt as to whether the Board of Supervisors has the power to change the location of the hospital from that originally adopted. If it should so cecide then the plans prepared by the city engineer would be absolutely use- less for the purpose on the existing site. Having no plans to work on the pro- ceedings would be estopped as the first course in preparing for the bond issue was the ordering of the plans by the Supervisors. It would appear then that if the site Is changed and the plans are not adaptable the proceedings would bave to be commenced all over again, even to the submission of the proposi- tion to a vote of the people. —_———— ‘Would Declare Steps a Nuisance. The City Attorney yesterday brought suit against Charles and Harry Bush, owners of a building on Eddy street, to have the steps leading into the premises declared a nuisance. The steps encroach on the sidewalk. the board, all of whom agreed that the nine samples of drawing were among those rejected by Miss Murray. BOARD MAY TAKE ACTION. Should Mrs. Ostrom file charges against Miss Murray for unprofessional conduct Superintendent of Schools Langdon would bhave to decide whether the board should try Miss Murray for the language used. Superintendent Langdon stated yester- day that the principals of the various schools had agreed to_continue the draw- ing course as taugh? by Supegvisor of Drawing Ball until Thanksgiving. After that the pupils will be put to work on the drawing of Christmas cards. Beginning with the new year a system of models drawn by Miss Ball will be furnished to the teachers, and the entire course will be greatly simplified in deference to the wishes of nearly all of the principals and teachers.

Galinde Accuses Ernest Heymans of Defrauding Him. 8 Ernest Heymans, who figured prom- inently in connection with the myste- rious loss of several hundred dollars’ worth of diamonds belonging to Mrs. Charles L. Colvin, wife of a prominent Oakland attorney, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Ryan and Whit- taker for the passing of an alleged worthless check, and his name entered on the detinue book at the City Prison. F. B. Galinde, proprietor of the Vienna Cafe at 133 O'Farrell street, made the complaint that landed Heymans behind the bars. The restaurant man alleges | that on September-20 Heymans tendered | a check for $20 drawn on the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company in pay- ment for a meal and received the change. | Upon presenting the paper for payment at the bank it was found that Heymans had no funds in the institution. Galinde did not report the matter to the police until October 6, as Heymans had presented genuine checks for amounts not exceeding $5 on previous occasions and it was thought that he would call and settle. He failed to put in an ap- pearance, however, and detectives were detailed to arrest the accused. Heymans came into notoriety several weeks ago when Mrs. Charles Colvin | claimed to have suffered the loss of her | diamonds in a lodging-house conducted by Mrs. Emma Borland at 501 Geary street. | At that time it was alleged by Mrs. Col- | vin that Heymans, who claimed to be a physician, gave her a sleeping powder and upon waking from a lengthy slum- ber she found her gems missing. A Mrs. Moore, Mrs, Borland and D. Christopher were also mixed up in the transaction, as the quintet were all drinking together in the room. Attorney Charles L. Coi- vin of Oakland, husband of Mrs. Colvin, refused to prosecute if the gems were returned, as he wished to avoid the at- tendant notoriety. The police made an investigation, but no arrest followed. Heymans has been arrested several times for practicing medicine without a license. He was a solicitor for the real estate firm of D. Cranston & Son, 114 Montgomery street, up to the time of his connection with the Colvin case, when he was discharged. —————— RECOMMENDS THAT VETO OF MAYOR BE SUSTAINED Supervisors’ Judiciary Committee Rules Against an Ordinance Deemed Obnoxious.

Notary Public A. K. Daggett and his bondsmen are the defendants in a suit for 31675, brought yesterday by Edward Mur- . as administrator of the estate of his g:zk. the late Jane Canney. Daggett is charged with violating his oath as a no- tary in attaching his notarial seal to a document on Which it is alleged Mrs. Canney had made her mark in lieu of her signature. It is claimed that Dag- gett well knew that at the time of the b nsaction, June 1, 12, Mrs. Canney was mentally weak. The document was a power of attorney, giving to Attorney W r. Kearns the right to dispose of Mrs. Canney's estate, and it is claimed that Kearns, by means of it, was enabled to mortgage her property for $1500 and withdraw from a bank $IT5 she had on | deposit. A suit to recover the amount gnd to set aside the power of attorney was filed some months ago by Murphy. —_—————————— MADRID, Tintos mines have been joined by 10,000 DOHEMIAR | Pure, Pate and Sparkling.
