'ACTRESS’ SON KIDNAPED BY HER FOSTER PARENTS Mrs. Josephirie Lewis Just Discovers That Mrs. Mulick Took Her From an Orphan Asylum --- Twelve-Year-Old - Boy Missing MONEY ARRIVES UST T0O LATE A. Burrows Is Dead When Wealth That Might Have Saved Him Reaches Hotel CITY PAYS HIM TWO SALARIED Deputy Registrar H. J. Alex- ander Is Also the Janitor of the Horace Mann School CHARTER IS VIOLATED Non-Civil Service Man Is Retained to Exclusion of Those on Eligible List The discovery was made yesterday in the Auditor’s office that H. J. Alexan- der is holding two positions in the city government, notwithstanding the char- ter provision that no employe of the city can hold two salaried offices at one and the same time. Alexander is a janitor of the Horace Mann School by virtue of his appoint- ment thereto by the Board of Educa- | tion, and is also fortunate in holding a temporary clerkship in the office of the Registrar of Voters. As Jjanitor Alexander is paid $108 per month, and | the other position pays him $100 per| month. Though Alexander’'s appoint- ment is supposed to be a temporary one, it possesses all the earmarks of a Permanent tenure. Alexander is said to be Civil Service | Commissioner Rogers’ lieutenant in the | Thirty-sixth Assembly District, and as such is supposed to be worthy of higher | regard than Jless fortunate political | brothers. | It is not told how Alexander man- | ages to fulfill the duties of two posi- | tions, although the hours of each are such that it is possible for him to do justice to both. As deputy registrar performing clerical work in the main | office he supposed to work from 8:30 | la: m. to . m. r can do his | Work before the opening and after the { clesing of schools, or he may employ | some one else to do it at a smaller | salary than he is himself receiving. No {one knows how Alexander manages, hut | he is down on the Auditor's books for | two salaries monthly, and the Auditor | is of the opinion that he is only entitled to one and will withhold payment on | the other for the month of Ju Alexander is one of the non-civil ser- vice deputy registrars whose appoint- | ment to the exclusion of three civil ser- vice eligibles has been disapproved by | the Civil Service Commission, but he continues to hold his job. Alexander’s appointment to a second position is de- fended owing to an opinion of the City Attorney that a night school teacher may hold another salaried position un- der the city government, but the opin- | KR K HEE L AR i WRITES JOKING LETTER | Certain That He Was Beaten | | in Life’s Battle He Pens| | Jingle and Inhales Gas|| ot S R The moment that A.

FIVE TEACHERS RESIGN | Directors Establish Paren- tal School With R. D. Faulkner as Its Head PRS00 S i School Director Cecil W. Mark was yesterday appointed principal of the | Crocker Grammar School by the Board | of Education and immediately after- ward he filed his resignation as a member of the board. As President | | Roncovieri is away Mark was elected by the votes of his colleagues, Direc- | tors Walsh and Boyle, and his own. ' Mark's term would have expired on | January 8. He was recently an un- successful applicant for the vacant principalship of the Girls’ High School. | Mark will assume his new duties to- day. His salary will be $180 per month. The Mayor did not name a new | School Director, but will probably do so to-day. The man who is most likely to secure the place is Albert M. Arm- strong, head of classics in the Mis- sion High School, who was a' strong candidate for one of the vacancies on the -board last January. Other aspi- rants for the place are D. J. Oliver Jr., | and Thomas E. Atkinson. | Mark’'s appointment was due to the | establishing of a new school to be known as the San Francisco Parental | School upon the recommendation of Superintendent of Schools Langdon. R. D. Faulkner, principal of the Frank- lin Grammar School, was transferred to the principaiship of the Parental School. Mrs. N. A. Wood, principal of the Hearst Grammar School, was transferred to the principalship .of the Franklin School; W. A. Edwards, principal of the Crocker Grammar School, was made principal of the Hearst Grammar School and Mark took Edwards’ place at the Crocker. NEW PARENTAL SCHOOL. The building formerly known as the Stanford Primary School on Eighth street near Harrison was designated as the San Francisco Parental School with the rank and salary of a grammar | school. Superintendent Langdon read a statement explaining his reasons for favoring a parental school and his resolutions on the subject were adopted by the board. They are as follows: | | Whereas, The legislation designed for the | protection of the rights of children demands for its fulfillment a close co-operation between | the Juvenile Court of this city and the School Department clal and Whereas, Under the bility of such care is charged to the Depart- bt gl e i ol ol B B Resolved, That it Is the sense of the Board Education that a parental school be set upon such premises as are available; and it is further Resolved, That the Superintendent of Schools be Instructed to proceed to organize such an institution in accordance with the best preva- lent practice found in the other important cities of the United States It was resolved that the pupils now occupying the rooms of the San Fran- cisco Parental School be transferred | to vacant rooms in the public school buildings' in the vicinity of the school in the the matter of giving spe- care to juvenile offenders on probation; atute, the responsi- In accordance with the rules of the | Board of Education the Fremont Pri- mary School was declared a grammar school.

Shortly afterward Mrs. Civi] | Lizzie Mulick took the younger girl | \eisco, for | from the institution and reared her in | the belief that she was her own daugh- ter. Comely and “clever, the child at an| early age was placed upon the stage | | and all her earnings went to Mrs. Mu- lick until the girl married George W. Lewis, an instructor in dancing in the| company with which she was playing. Two children were born, Raymond and another boy, now 8 years old. Ray- mond was placed in Mrs. Mulick's care, | because in traveling about the country it was impossible for the parents to look after his welfare. They sent re- mittances, which are vouched for by proper receipts. The younger boy, who for a time was a cripple, spent part of the time with his alleged grandmother and part with his parents. Mrs. Lewis, who has been playing | an engagement at Santa Rosa, recent- ly came to Alameda. Her husband was with her and it was decided to take Raymond across the bay for a time. The father intended to teach him | to swim. Mrs. Lewis came to the house of the woman who had posed as her mother for so many jyears.to get the boy. She sent him down stairs to black his shoes and has not seen him since. That was two weeks ago yesterday. MRS. MULICK DENIES. In the examination yesterday Mrs. Mulick was first called to the stand. Replying to Attorney Davis’ questions, | she declared she did not know where {the boy was and had nothing to do | with his disappearance. She even said | the lad had run away because he did | not want to go to his parents, but that, notwithstanding her affection for him, she did not deem it her duty “to run around looking for him”—that was L — \ @ o Astrachan Jackets $35to $125 THE BEST VALUES IN AMERICA Furs —like diamonds- should be bought fro_m a store you're _sure of. o with pride to the magnificent increase in our bysi- ness from year to year.

Mrs. Elizabeth Weiss, pleading inno- cence of any intent to “kidnap” the boy, testified that she had given Mrs ! Mulick the name of a man who would | take care of the lad for a few days, | and she had heard that the boy was either at the end of North Beach or in the Sacramento Valley. Mrs. E. A.
