Attorney General has come north in connection the trouble now pending between Is, Fargo & Co. and other ex 'S8 fes of Texas and the Railroad s of that State. The latter, months ago, in pursuit of its under the laws of Texas, fixed a freight tariff for the express com- »anies, which immediately entered a otest on the ground that the rates were unjustly low and a hardship on them. Eventually the express com- panies secured from the Federal courts a temporary injunction against the Railroad Commission. Pending a hearing the court appointed Charles A. | Rasbury a special commissioner to take testimony and it was decided that the plish this work would be in. this city, where the main offices of Wells, Fargo & Co. are located.

Miss Cauvel has not been seen | by her family or friends for eight days. | Her mother and Fred Smith, her flance. have reporled the case to the | police. No reasons for the disappear- | ance appear on the surface, as the | young woman was apparently happy. Miss Cauvel is said to be rather | comely and quite innocent of worldly ways, though her mother fears there may be a villain in the background, | ecause her daughter was always ‘“easl]y influenced.” She was to hnve been married soon. | On Tuesdav night last Miss Cauvel | |left her employment at Mrs. V\'allncea | candy store, 114% Sixth street, usual. The hour was about 10 oclock | and Maud remarked that she was gu- ing directly home, as she had nnlshed | her sales for the day-and was weary. She has pever been seen by her trlenda since that evening. Mrs. Cauvel, the young uomnnl mother, was so worried that she re- ported the disappearance to the police, and left a picture of her daughter with Sergeant Brown. For a time the sorrowing mother solaced herself with the hope that her { daughter had possibly gone to Port- land to marry Fred Smith, steward of a coast steamer, as the time for their | marriage was about due. | Speaking of her child last night Mrs. | Cauvel said: *“I live at 281A Clara street and I am empioyed at Magnin’s store, and I am anxiously hoping for | tidings, for I cannot conceive what has | gone wrong. | “Maud never before stayed away | from home for even a night. She was | engaged to Fred Smith and was to have been married soon. | the candy store on last Tuesday. She | did not say anything about not com- ing home at night. I thought at first | that she might” have gone to Portland to marry Fred Smith, and did not worry much. Yesterday he came from police. Maud was a good girl, but was easfly | influenced. She may have got in with | some man and been ill treated. When | | she did not come home that night I | went down to the candy store the next |day and found that she had not re- | turned to work.” | Detective Anthony has been detailed | on the case. | —_————— | LIEUTENANT BURNETT i PROMOTED TO BE CAPTAIN | Pratt & Tierney, Charged With Con- | ducting Disorderly House, Are Given Chance to Reform. Joseph Burnett, a lieutenant, | appointed captain of police by | Board was the | evening. Burnett was appointed on | | the police force September 3, 1887. In | 1900 he was made a sergeant and as- signed to duty at the O’Farrell-street station. In 1902 he was one of the successful applicants for the position of lieutenant of police and since that time has been doing duty at the Cen- tral police station. Lieutenant Burnett will be either given the office of the captain of de- | tectives or placed in charge of the Central police district, wfth which he is familiar. The appointment is to take effect on May 1. N The case of Pratt & Tiérney, saloon men, who are charged with having conducted a disorderly resort at 138 Mason street, came before the board for a hearing. After the evi-| dence, tending to prove that early | morning orgies frequently occurred in the place and that the guests of hotels in the vicinity were disturbed thereby, the members of the board ordered the patrolmen on the beat to keep the place under surveillance until June 24, when the license of the resort expires. Patrolman Fennel and J. M. Jack- son, the latter a night clerk at the Langham Hotel, testified to unusual noises after 1 o'clock in the morning. Jackson stated that he had frequently called officers into the hote} to listen to the disturbance, but that the pro- prietors refused to quell the disturb- ance. Pratt & Tierney were given until "June 24, when their license expires, to correct the character of the resort, otherwise the Police Commis- sioners will refuse to permit them to continue in business.

Leon Sloss, president of the North- ern Commercial Company, has beefl’ summoned to give an accounting of the estate of Arthur Harper, an old- time Alaskan trader, who died in 1898 and named Sloss as one of the execu- tors of his will. The property is said to be valued at about $4,000,000. In the complaint filed by George D. Collins yesterday it is claimed that Harper died in Alaska in the spring of 1898 and by his will, filed for pro- bate on May 26, 1898, Leon Sloss and James M. Wilson were named as executors. At that time there were five heirs, the widow and four chil- dren., The widow subsequently died. The four children still survive, but thus far there has been no accounting of the property. According to the complaint, entered in the name of Charles Harper, a son and the only adult of the four chil- dren, James M. Wilson declined to serve as executor at the time the will was probated, but Sloss did not. About 10 per cent of the property is in this State and the balance is in Alaska. It is claimed that that por- tion of the property which is in Alaska has been looked after by Thomas A. McGowan and the Alaska Commercial Company. The statement had been given out that the estate had been settled up, but upon investigation it was found that no report had ever been made, hence the suit. Judge Kerrigan issued an order yesterday for Sloss to ap- pear in court May 6 and give an ac- counting and at the same time for T. A. McGowan, J. M. Wilson, W. B. Pringle and J. P. Chamberlain to ap- pear and answer as to the where- abouts of certain valuable property belonging to the estate. —_—e———————— Federal Indictments Found.

Miss Viola Dillon, clerk in the searchers’ room, slapped the face of Edward J. Barton during office hours in the main Postoffice last Thursday. Mr. Barton, the slappee, was too gal- lant to slap back, but went to A. M. Cox, superintendent of city de- livery, and made formal complaint, at the same time exhibiting a crimson cheek as proof of the earnestness of Miss Dillon. It was not a love ‘tap, for other clerks in the same depart- ment say that there had been consid- erable friction for some time between Miss Dillon and Mr. Barton. She said he said something to her that she didn’t like and so she slapped his jaw. The department is convulsed from center to circumference over the scan- dal and Postmaster Fisk is trying to ascertain what it was all about. In- cidentally he waxes angy when he re- marks that he would like to learn the identity of the employe that made the matter public. —_—————————— Musical Clubs Give Concert.

Loss, $500,- SUPREME COURT DECISION ALARMS THE CHINESE Seventeen Alleged American Citizens May Be Deported to Flowery King- dom Because of It. Consternation prevailed in Chinese immigrant broker circles yesterday over the publication of the decisi-n of the United States Supreme Court to the effect that Chinese immigrants claiming admission to the United States on the ground that they are na- tives of the United States may not avail themselves of writs of habeas corpus after having been denied a landing without first having appealed to the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor. There are seventeen Chinese immi- grants at this port awaiting a hearing on habeas corpus and their friends tear thaf the decision of the United States Supreme Court may result in their deportation to China. The ex- clusion act requires that within five days after notification of denial to land the immigrant must perfect an appeal to the department. In the seventeen cases mentioned the time for appealing has passed. United States Immigrant Commis- sioner North has wired to Secretary Cortelyou for instructions in the mat- ter. —_——— + The Best Way East.
