I sve the child a bath with Cuticura Eonp, using & soft piece of muslin cloth. This I did twice a day, each time fol- lowing with the Cuticura Ointment, and at the same time gave the Resol- vent, sccording to directions.

Justice Angellotti wrote the opinion and Justices McFar- land, Van Dyke, Henshaw and Shaw concurréd directly with him. ———————— MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR MRS. HANNAH H.

Merritt wants to get rid of the management of the Sutro estate, and she believes that the quick- est way to do it is to make the in- come meet the expenses, then get the estate out of the courts. She made this statement on the stand in Judge Coffey’'s department yesterday when glving her reasons for opposing the petition for a partial distribution of $57,000 and interest to A. J. Treat. Four of the Sutro childrén gave as- signed claims to one-fifth of certain legacies to Treat, who was represented y Garret McEnerney. J. C. McKins- try appeared for Dr. Merritt, who was questioned by Mr. McEnerney. The executrix said that she had 91,000 on hand and believed that the | distribution” should not be made. She | thought she should retain $20,000 for | contingent expenses of the estate, $12,000 for taxes and $15,000 for ne- cessary repairs to the bulkhead at the Sutro baths. “If, instead of asking for a little money now,” said Dr. Mer- ritt, “they would wait until the es- tate gets in good condition they would receive much more. I believe the mortgage of $308,000 to the Hibernia Pank should be paid off, the estate taken out of the courts, and then it would not run behind.” She said that the income last year had been $79,000 and the expenses $104,600. The es- tate is now running behind about $2000 a month. She thought that the : $400,000 worth of property sold be- fore 1902 was sacrificed, and that the sales this year did not bring what the land was worth. Had she been free to decide, she would not have sold it. At this point a claim was put in in behalf of Charles Sutro for inter- est due on legacies which have been paid, as a prior claim to that Treat. Mr. McEnerney then sug- gested that the court allow $70,000 out of the $91,000 to be prorated among the six children, but Mr. Mc-4 Kinstry insisted that the remainder would be inadequate to the needs of the egtate. ordered that $45,000 should be di- vided among the six. Dr. Merritt stated that the value of the property not included in the charity trust is more than one and | one-quarter million dollars. ——— standard everywhere.

The monthly report of Acting Health Officer Hassler filed with the Board of Health at its meeting yes- terday showed that there were forty- nirie samples of candy and butter col- ors, syrups and honeys analyzed and that many of the latter were found to be adulterated with glucose, salicylic acid and borax. Hassler says he will | articles to the board for action. Hassler in his report also recom- mends that an ordinance be drafted which shall make it unlawful for any property owner to maintain upon a building a tank for the storing of wa- ter used for human consumption, the water directly from the street main to be the source of such supply. Hass- ler says that in several cases infec- tious disease has occurred through houses using water from tanks and | frequent complaints are made by ten- ants of filthy drinking water. Hassler inspected thirty-five dairies and found that in nearly every in- stance an earnest endeavor was being made to comply with the new sani- tary rules. ——— Contested Guardianship. Judge Coffey said yesterday that if Father Crowley would accept the guardianship of Albert and Frank Tiegel he would not grant the peti- tion of M. J. White, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty | to Children, for their custody. Pres- ident Newhall of the soclety testified that Father Crowley would not op- pose White's application, notwith- standing the statement of Herman Tiegel, the father. Tiegel and his wife were arrested on July 16 for abusing their two sons and baby daughter. The father was sent to jail and the mother to the Ukiah asylum, where she died soon after.

Kratz, Whose Drown- ing at Long Beach Was Re- ported, Is in Jail in Mexico WILL BE BROUGHT BACK Recognized by Secret Ser- vice Agent From Deserip- tion in Police Circular PRSP Judge Dunne’s steadfast belief that Albert A. Kratz was not drowned while bathing at Long Beach on the night of September 15, but that a plot existed to defeat the ends of justice, has been confirmed. Kratz is in jail at Ron- quillo, Sonora, Mexico, and Detective T. B. Gibson left on last night's train with papers for his extraditlon. Chief Wittman had sent out circulars | with a photograph and description of Kratz. About a week ago the Chief | received a dispatch from C. T. Connell | of the Bureau of Immigration and Sec- ! ret Service of Arizona that he had seen |2 man answering Kratz's description |at Cananea, Sonora. The wires were i kept busy and it was soon learned be- ‘YOnd all doubt that Kratz was the man. The Governor of Sonora was communicated with and he issued a | provisional warrant for Kratz's arrest. | It was placed In the hands of Captain | Thomas Ryning of the Arizona | Rangers, who arrested Kratz and lock- ed him up in the Jjail at Ronquille. | When searched clippings from the local | papers regarding his supposed death by drowning were found in his pockets. | Besides the officers mentioned, Chief Wittman received valuable assistance from Chief Hammill of Los Angeles. Kratz was out on $5000 bonds while | waiting his, trial in Judge Dunne’s | court on a charge of felony embezzle- ! ment. On the night of September 15, about a week prior to the date fixed for his trial, Kratz was at Long Beach. About 9 o'clock he hired a bathing ma- chine and it was said that he persisted in bathing in the surf against the warnings of the attendants. He was not seen again and his clothes having been found in the machine it was re- ported that he had been drowned. When the case was called in Judge Dunne’s court a number of affidavits phy from V. Kratz of Los Angeles, father of the defendant, and attendants at the bathing establishment and others to the effect that the defendant | had been drowned. Judge Dunne did not hesitate at that time and after- ward to express his belief that the de- fendant had not been drowned and that his disappearance was for the purpose of defeating the ends of justice. As- | sistant District Attorney Whiting was | of the same belief and color was given to that bellef when it was discovered that the bond of $5000 accepted by Police Judge Fritz for Kratz's release was missing. Fortunately it was later discovered among some unused bonds iand on Whiting’s motion it was de- felared forfeited. The sureties were V. | Kratz, the defendant’s father; Mrs. | Rhéda M. White, defendant’s sister, iand Attorney Hugo A. Newhouse. had communicated with Chief Wittman and the result is the arrest of Kratz. Judge Dunne is at present taking his vacation, but when he returns he will have something to say judicially in re- gard to Kratz's flight and subsequent developments. Kratz's brother, William, was a mem- | ber of the Donandt-Kratz Company, commission merchants, and on Feb- ruary 13, 1903, Willlam collected $16,- 542 75 and fled with the money. His | brother Albert was with him when he i left the office with the money. Albert was located in Kansas City, where he was living under an assumed name. He was brought back, tried and convicted and sentenced by Judge Dunne to serve | five years in San Quentin.

The Supervisors' Fire Committee yesterday heard the protests of shin- gle dealers and many property owners iuninut the proposed ordinance pro- viding that when roofs are damaged to the extent of 40 per cent by fire they shall be repaired with fireproof mate- rial only. It was represented that lesses from the burning of wooden roofs was only 4 per cent of the total loss from fires in four years, and the | proposed ordinance would not assist {in beautifying the city as it may pre- vent the buildings of homes. Emil Pohli said the effect of the or- dinance would be to extend the fire limits to Baker street, Buena Vista av- enue and Seventeenth street, where many residences are being erected. He sald the extension of fire limits should be confined to districts considered dan- gerous on account of hazardous enter- ipflael. F. E. Sutman presented a de- talled report of causes of fire to show that the abolishing of shingles for roofing purposes will not be an effec- tive way of preventing roof fires. Pro- tests against the ordinance were read from the builders of San Francisco and others signed by 600 property owners. Thomas E. Curran, who said he rep- resented 3000 property owners in the ‘Western Addition and the Mission, op- posed the ordinance, but asked until next Thursday to produce data in sup- port of his opposition and to this the committee consented. —_———— g Davis Contest Answered. Another answer denying all the al- legations in the contest against the codicil to the will of Samuel Davis ‘was filed yesterday by four grand- nephews of the deceased -capitalist. They were left specific bequests under the codicil. They are Samuel Davis French, George W. French, William G. French and Edward Fowler, some- times known as Edward French. The codicil was flled for probate by the administrator, Julius C. Reis, on Sep- tember 10. It left half of the $1,668,- 000 estate to Davis’ sister, Jane Da- vis, now dead; made legacies of $127,- 000, and provided that the remainder ‘should be divided among nephews and nieces and grand-nephews and grand- nieces.
