The resignation will take effect January 1, 1904, and Keenan’'s suc- cessor will not be appointed until then, if at all. Health Officer O'Brien complained of the upsafe and unsanitary condi- tion of premises at 2014 and 2016 Polk street, 2738 Mission, 820 and 822 Clay street, and the board cited the own- ers to appear on December 31, 1903, at 10 a. m. to sHow cause why the premises should not be condemned.

Attie of | ERIOUS BLAZES | | and Bold Attempt Is Made | to Destroy Another Home | PRl | | E. H. Schade, driver of a beer wagon, was arrested late last night and his| name placed on the detinue book. He, is suspected of having started two fires | in the neighborhood of Post and Lnr-% kin streets and of attempting to start| a third. He was seen by several per- | sons at the time the fires broke out| and the police will hold him till an in-l vestigation is made. The first blaze started in a house on! Post street court, off Post' street, be- tween Hyde and Larkin. It was ex- tinguished without the aid of the en- gines. Upon investigation a large bun- | dle of rags partly burned was found in | the basement, which led to the belief | that an incendiary had been at work. | Several persons saw Schade in the; | vicinity at the time. Soon after fire broke out in the two- | story frame dwelling occupied by L. ! Glennon at 11 Meecham place, a small | alley near Post street court. Before | the engines reached the scene of the! fire the flames had gutted the entire building and caused considerable dam- | age. Glennon and his family were not | at home when the fire started and; many persons who were near the scene | say that Schade was hanging about the | place before the blaze was discovered. | Soon after Mrs. Abids, landlady of | the Aubrey apartment house, 962 Post | | street, discovered Schade in the attic of the place, striking matches. She told’ {him to leave at once and as he was passing through the hall he saw several | women guests. He made a rush for| | Mrs. Roger Cornell, wife of the Olym- | | ple Club athlete, and tried to seize her. | ! Patrolman Langdon was summoned and | after hearing the story of several by-| | standers who had seen Schade in the | | neighborhood where the fires started, locked the latter up pending an investi- | | gation. When searched at the City Prison a | {large sum of money was found on]| Schade, but nothing of an ‘incendiary | | character.. He denies all the accusa- | | tio but is unable to give a satisfac- | | tory explanation of how he got into the | attic of the Aubrey Hotel. { L e e R S o TIRIFF REFORM THEIR OBJECT Men. of Mark Are Appointed | by Joseph Chamberlain to | | Inquire Into British Trade! | —_— | { LONDON, Dec. 18.—Announcement ! | was made yesterday of a number of notable men who have aiready accept- | ed membership in Joseph Chamber- | lain’s commission which is to inquire | into the condition of British trade and | report thereon, with the object of | drawing up a tariff reform measure.

The mat- | ter was placed in the hands of Gen- eral Manager Kruttschnitt, who has found a position for Stillman in the office of A. B. Worthington, recently promoted to assistant to the general manager. Worthington is regarded as the best statistician in the employ of the Harriman lines and a young man who secures a place in his office’ is deemed very fortunate. Employment there is regarded as the stepping stone to something higher in the railroad world.
