Smith and- music by Ludwig Englander. The piece is of French ex- traction, and naturally more risque than any of its American-born prede- cessors at Fisher's. The theme is mar- ital disloyalty, of course, and is ade- quately carried out in situations and dialogue. Mr. Carroll, as a much-exaggerated Irishman, sang. danced and acted with earnestness, and had no reason to com- plain of his reception and subsequent treatment by the audience. Mr. Ken- nedy invested the character of a cyn- ical roue with appropriate gentility, and won a favoritism that promises to en- dure. Ben T. Dillon again proved pos- ion of rare versatility by making a German band leader a very funny character. Nellie Lynch also scored well as a decefved Quakeress wife, and Helen Russell appeared in black tights as a premiere dansuese, but consider- ately abstained from dancing. She sang “Mignon” polonaise with great charm, however, and for encores won thun- derous applause by singing “The Last | Rose of Summer” and “Home, Sweet Home.” Mr. Peachey displayed surpris- | ing Gash as the Lotharian husband of | i the Quakeress. Central. A crowded house greeted the initial presentation of “Rip Van Winkle” at the Central Theater last night. From the diminutive urchins that occupied the last row in the gallery to the | smooth-pated gentlemen that elbowed the musicians, every one in the audi- ence enjoyed the play to the utmost. The fun was fast and furious all the way. Occasionally there was a bit of | pathos, but the house construed it as | something humorous any way. Herschel Mayall made the funniest kind of a “Rip.” Eugenia Thais Law- ton played the part of the sharp- tongued Gretchen to perfection. Henry Shumer as Herrick Van Hans was an- other provoker of laughter.” The others of the cast furnished distinguished support. Alcazar. George Osbourne has the stage all to himself at the Alcazar this week and incidentally “At the White Horse Tav- ern.” For he is Willlam Giesicke of Berlin, the choleric litigant, choleric papa and choleric everything else. His well-known voice, whicn usually has the fond parent or doting uncle ring to | | | readily caped.by a decree of the Supreme Court, which decided there was not sufficient testimony to warrant the verdict of death by the jury. A rehear- ing was allowed, first on a technical- ity and a second reversal w3s the result of missing testimofy. It was sufficiently proven that three women whom Bowers espoused and one man who might have been able to give testimony against him had been foully murdered by poison. Detective Robert Hogan worked on the case and gathered sufficient evi- dence against Bowers to secure a death gentence against the defendant for the murder of his last wife. The evidence was conclusive that as a physician he had administered phosphorus in cum- ulative quantities, sufficient to cause death. On the second trial many of the witnesses were missing and the brother of Mrs. Bowers had been found dead in a lodging house at 42 Geary street. He was deemed an important witness by the then District Attorney Southard. Because Hogan persisted in the prosecution of the case, he was re- moved from active duty as a detective and relegated to a berth in the District i Attorney’s office, which he still holds. When asked about the Bowers case last night, he refused to discuss the facts. HOGAN'S LIPS ARE SEALED. “Let the dead past bury its dead,” he said. “I am llving in the present now, but all the same Dr. Bowers should have broken his neck from a trap in- stead of dying peaceably from par- alysis.” When Dr. Bowers was on his first trial Detective Hogan dug up an im- portant witness in the person of Ben- hayon, a brother of the deceased third wife, who had frequently visited his sister during her illness and who testi- fied” to the appearance and smell of the medicine administered to her. Often, even, he' procured the prescrip- tions and the druggist from whom he gecured them testified that they were mainly composed of phosphorus, which is a slow but certain poison. The mo- tive for the murder was to secure an insurance of $1700 in Dr. Bowers’ fayor on the life of his wife. Before the retrial Benhayon was found dead in bed one morning and the autopsy disclosed that he had died from cyanogen poisoning. Immediately an investigation was made, and it was ascertained that a hackman named Dimmick had purchased the deadly drug from a pharmacy. He claimed that he bought it at the request of a Bowers < W 9 } 3 - e PRINCIPAL IN SENSATION- AL MURDER CASE WHO DIED YESTERDAY. + E SRR man who gave his name as Dr. Fell, who said he was from San Jose. Dimmick was arrested for the mur- der of Benhayon and acquitted on the trial. His description of the man who induced him to secure the poison tallied exactly with that of Dr. Bowers, bu* as the latter was already under sen- tence of death he was not dragged into the case. Lack of further prosécution of the case is one of the mysteries of the police department in those days. Dr. Bowers a physician of large practice at the time he was arrested and first convicted of the murder of his third wife. He claimed degrees from German universities and ex- hibited them. In appearance he was not uniike the famous apostle of Zion- ism, Dr. Dowie, now doing some good footwork in Australia. ATTRACTIVE TO WOMEN. Dr. Bowers was a much younger man that Dowie, but he had much the same cast of countenance and h SEEK T0 BREAK |FREE MARKETS | -HEIRESS' WILL Alleged Relatives of Late Mrs. Gopeevic Want a Por- tion of Estate She Left CONTEST MAY RESULT Attorney Phillips Says He Has Evidence on Which to Base Claims of Clients o o il Heirs of the late Mrs. Harry Floyd- Gopcevie, whose name was Miss Harry Floyd until she married a gripman of Servian birth, are beginning to ap- pear, and yesterday morning in Su- perior Judge Kerrigan's court Attorney L. Ernest Phillips gave notice that he would contest the will of the late heir- ess on behalf of David B. Floyd of Bridgeport, Conn., and Mrs. Rosalie B. Matthews of Brooklyn. Phillips has been in correspondence with both of them and claims to have evidence to support his claims. Floyd, so Phillips says, was a brother of the late Captain Floyd, father of the dead heiress. Mrs. Matthews says she was a cousin ¢f Mrs, Gopcevic and will en- deavor to secure a portion of the big estate left by the latter. The case was called for probate in Judge Kerrigan's court yesterday morning and the testimony of several witnesses, including Miss Eliza Pritch- ard, was taken. Phillips asked for a continuance of the case until such time as he would be able to secure the power of attorney from his clients in the East. Judge Kerrigan refused to grant the | continuance on the ground that Phil- lips had no power to act for the heirs and admitted the will for probate. ALLEGED UNCLE APPEARS. Phillips says he received a letter from an attorney of Bridgeport, Conn., on February 27, informing him that David | B. Floyd of that place was a brother of the late Captain Floyd and that he was anxious to secure a portion of the estate. Phillips immeatately commu- nicated with ‘Floyd, asking him for his power of attorney, which he expects will arrive in a few days. Mrs. Rosalie B. Matthews of Brook- 1yn in a letter written to Phillips in- sinuates that Mrs. Gopcevic was un- duly influenced by Miss Pritchard, and that the latter ¢onspired with Gopcevic and arranged the marriage between the j pair. Mrs. Matthews' letter was full of sensational accusations and bitterly upbraided Gopcevic and Miss Pritchard. | Mrs. Gopeevic executed a holographic | will nineteen days before her death in FOR - FLOWERS Supervisors Pass an Ordi- nance Designating Points Where Peddlers May Sell AGAINST WATER OFFER City Engineer's Report on Bay Cities Company’s Pro- | ject Is Filed With Board The Board of Supervisors yesterday: passed to print the ordinance sub-| mitted by the Merchants’ Association, designating certain locations on pub- | lic sidewalks to be used as free public | flower markets, where street peddlers may pursue their trade. | The bill was passed by a vote of seventeen for to one against, Rea being the only one to vote against it. Lun- | stedt tried to have the section desig- | nating the sidewalks of Market, Powell | and Eddy streets as free markets ex- | cluded from the privileges, but only | six votes were recorded in the af-| firmative. | The attorney for the Retail Flower Dealers’ Association held that the or- | dinance is in plain violation of the | State constitution, the city charter and of the board’s ordinance, No. 1030, | making it unlawful to peddle goods on | the public streets without a license. | The Retailers’ Federation of Cali- | fornia, comprising the various retail organizations of the State, filed a pro- | test against the passage of the ordi- | nance. clearing of bootblack and peddler stands from the public streets, and says | that the ordinance proposes to effect | the legal sanction of an aggravation of | the evil on the busiest thoroughfares of the city. The protest is signed by Will- | iam Lenhoff, president of the Retail| Grocers' Association, and H. C. Fla-| geolett, past president of the Butchers', Protective Association. | G. T. Wright, Dr. J. A. Wilson and | several ladles addressed the board In| behalf of the ordinance, and T. M. O'Connor, J. W. Shanahan and T. Shibely were heard in opposition. | Shanahan produced a one-armed man | who attempted to sell flowers on | Kearny street and was struck on the head with an iron bar by a rival vender who was employed by one of three]| companies that control the situation. Boys and old men who tried to sell flowers were intimidated by the venders who held the fort, Shibely said. | Supervisor Rea opposed the ordinance | and quoted from an opinion of the City favor of her husband, who claims to be the sclon of a royal Servian family. It i | claimed by those who are about to con test the will that everything was not | as it should be and they will therefore ask the court to fully investigate the matter. | DECEPTION IS CHARGED. | Phillips states that he will ask that the will be broken on the ground that | Mrs. Gopeevic was deceived by a for- | eigner, who represented himself as a nobleman, and that she soon tired of | her husband, but that he managed to { induce her to make her will in his fa- | vor. | According to the terms of the will of the late Mrs. Floyd, mother of Mrs. Gopcevic, the estate was to go to her daughter when the latter attained the |age of 21. She was to receive two- | thirds of the income while she lived and the cther one-third was to be de- | voted to the improvement and main- | tenance of the estate.

When the jury rendered its decision that he should hang and he was taken from Judge Murphy’s courtroom he slap- ped an acquaintance on the back and laughingly remarked: “Well, old man; it'’s murder in the first degree.” In his cell he discussed death by hanging and said from a medical standpoint that such was one of the most pleasant methods of ending an existence if one would disregard the shame of such a death. Last April Dr. Bowers left San Fran- cisco and relinquished his office at 560 Sutter street. He practiced in Oakland for some months without success and then removed to San . Jose, where he died.” After he went to San Jose he married Miss Mary Bird, then engaged as a schoolteacher, who fortunately survives him.

Miss Starr and Harry Hilliard have only the smallest bit of lovemaking to do. But they have real rain in the first act—that is something. - The Chutes. The Bennington duo, Tyrolean sing- ers, made thelr first appearances at the | Chutes yesterday, scoring hits at both performances. Kelly and Violette, who are appearing for the fourth and last week of an interesting engagement, changed their songs and costumes, and James Hennessy, the monologue man, told a lot of new stories.
