The charge was set forth yesterday in the answer of Mrs. 8. M. Packard to a suit brought by Lizzie P. Murray as assighee on a note for $526 secured by a chattel mortgage on household fyrniture at 611 Ellis street. Mrs. Packard is the widow of a former City Marshal of Bakersfield. Her answer to the suit is sensational. The meat of it i5 in 4 paragraph in which she says: “J. A. McMillen and ‘his daughter, Lizzie B. McMillen, have for years made it a practice to deceive and swindle prospective purchasers of lodging-houses, and with the said plaintiff Lizzle P. McMurray formed an organized band of lodging-house swindlers.” 2 Mrs. Packard relates that she came to San Francisco in June from Bakers- fteld with $1000, which was all she had to depend upon for the support of her- self and her mother. duced to one J.

Furthermore, ‘he was a member of the samie fraternal order ag the deceased Packard. The widow says she believed McMillen. He had a lodging-house for sale and is charged with having represented to her that the place was retting $76 a month. She bought it and paid him $450. cash -and gave her note for $525 and a mort- gage on the furniture. After she took possession of the house she found, she says, that it paid no profit at all.

Z Leon Mignolet, hackdriyer for M. Michelsen & Son of the Saratoga Stables, swore to a complaint. before Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest of Edwin Armstrong and “John Doe,” two striking hackmen, on a charge of battery. According to the story told to the police Mignolet had a thrilling experience. CE He said he was Standing with his hack on Sunday night in front of the St. Francis Hotel, when two young men came out of the hotel. They en- tered his hack and told him to drive them to different saloons. He did so and finally they ordered him to drive to Golden Gate Park. ‘When the hack reached Stow Lake, Mignolet - was asked to stop and the two men, one of whom* he recognized as Armstrong, stepped out. They dragged him from his seat and commenced to beat him. He broke away from them and ran to the residence of Mr. Seville, the en- gineer at the pumplnsdaum. Seville telephoned to Golden te Park police station and Policemen Foley and Man- gan were sent in the patrol to the scene. They found no one around, but later Policeman O'Shea 'came across the hack on the main drive op- te the conservatory. LS RES Mignolet thinks that while the two Space Covered by Central Station Men ‘Will Hereafter Come Under " Captain Mooney. Chief Wittman has decided to lessen the territory now included in the Cen- tral Police Station district. The num- ber of streets now patrolled is too great for the men at the disposal of Captain Duke. The new change will be made in a few days. . It is the intention of the Chief to cut Hyde and Leavenworth streets out and include them in the City Hall Sta- tion district. By the recent creation of a new police district in the Western Addition, made - by subdividing the City Hall district, the latter district has greatly decreased, so that Hyde and Leavenworth streets can be in- cluded in it without imposing. much extra work on the district. The number of men used on special detail in the Central district is large, leaving hardly enough patrolmen to cover the regular beats. The central district is the most important in the city and Chief Wittman thinks that it should, on account of the population, be the smallest in area. The contemplated change has been considered for some time. The new central station district will be bound- ‘ed on the west by Jones street, north by Market, east by Sansome and north by the bay. 3 ———————— To Settle Voigt Estate. C.

Thirty days have elapsed since Jack London, novelist and newspaper man, was served with a complaint wife's divorce action. He has made no appearance, and - Mrs. Bessie Londen is now entitled to-a. defaunlt judgment against him. He was served with a copy of the complaint on board the steamship Korea on June 29, and yes- terday the time had elapsed in which he is allowed by law to file an answer. It is not believed that there will be any compromise. The nature of the charges are such that it is thought that London can ill afford to contest them in open court and that he will allow his wife to’get the divorce by default. In the meantime, the property inter- ests of the pair have been settled out of court. The restraining order served upon London to keep him from drawing any of his pay while in the Orient as .war correspondent or from any of the publishing firms who have his books for sale has béen set aside, the reason stated for this: action being that an amicable settlement as regards prop- erty rights had been arrived at .be- tween himself and wife. 7 - —_—— BOARD SEGREGATES WORKS C F ¢ FISCAL APPROPRIATION Agrees Upon the Expenditures to Be Made This Year for Specific Purposes. ‘The Board of Public Works met yes- terday and agreed on the segregations of its appropriation for the fiscal year 1504-05.
