The witness said she used keen business judgment in trading at the store. He met her In Paris later, see |ing her in a carriage with Miss Mary | Josselyn at the fete of “the battle of: flowers.” He merely spoke to her as| she passed, and she appeared to be per- fectly rational. WALTER S. MARTIN TESTIFIES. Walter S. Martin testified that he first | met Miss Dolbeer in March, 1899, being | introduced to her by his brother, Peter | Martin. The witness came in contact with her frequently after that at social gatherings. The last time he saw her was on April 4 of the present year, when he conversed with her in the Co- while she was away. “She was perfectly rational and a conservative character,” was the opin- ion of the witness. Milton §. Latham was the next wit- He said he knew Bertha Dolbeer and frequently visited her home. Previous to the death of her father the witness called on her several times| every week, but after that but once or twice a month. He saw the testatrix a | number of times just before her de- parture last April for Europe, and was | at the ferry with the party that was| there to bid her good-by. There was then nothing strange or unusual in her | | manner, he said, nor any lndicatlonl whatever of melancholia. John Zeile had also participated ln? numerous social diversions that Miss | Dolbeer attended. He described au!o-{ mobile trips and drives they had taken An intimate acquaintance- | ship was shown, and when asked his | opinion the witness said that Miss Dol- ! beer was undoubtedly rational and of | sound mind. Zeile described a dinner e was also in happy frame of mind the day she departed, the witness going te he ferry to say good-by to her. Mrg. Dena Rasmussen, who was em- ployed by Miss Dolbeer for household work,” testified that at no time was there any sign of melancholia in the testatrix. The witness said her em- er was of very even temper, never ecame excited and seemed to look on the bright side of life. Miss Dolbeer went out a great deal, finding keen en- joyment in social diversions. She en- tered into gayety so much that the course of “rest cure” was necessary ‘h( fore starting on the trip to Europe. | According to the witness there could be no question as to the sanity of Miss Dolbeer. The deposition of Miss Ethel Hager, taken before che left for the East a few weeks ago, was read to the jury. She was at Del Monte with Miss Dolbeer and her father in 1902, and on one’ oc- casion the testatrix told the witness that Miss Warren had been “brother, ister and mother” to her. “I regard Miss Warren as my nearest of kin and feel most fortunate in hav- ing her with me as a companion,” was one of Miss Dolbeer’s declarations. Miss Hager told of several social af- fairs Miss Dolbeer attended and of other occasions they were together. When asked her opinion deponent said she never detected,any symptom of in- sanity in the testatrix and was certain she was of sound mind. The trial will be resumed this morn- ing. e CANNOT LOCATE, MISSING CONSIGNMENT OF MONEY Fifteen Thousand Dollars Disappears Mysteriously From Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Office. The forwarding money department of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express is report- ed to be out $15,000. Where the money has gone to or how it came to disap- pear is a mystery to all concerned in that office. The package and contents weighs 67 pounds, and this 1 ould seem to preclude any possibility that the money had been stolen from the office. The officials do not think a robbery has been committed, but are of the belief that it has been shipped out of town by mistake. Money that is being shipped away is done up In bags, and these are in turn put into boxes, which are locked. The agent at this point retains one key and the agent at the objective point has the other. It will therefore be impossible for the officials to unravel the mystery until all the boxes shipped out yester- day have reached their destinations. Telegrams have been sent by the com- ! betore 8 o {‘er. boarde: | and Clay streel {1 | The | i *‘Mayor and Officials ‘Ask Investigation| : | | Deny Knowledge oi Chinatown *“Sack” ; —_— e—— The charges against-Mayor Schmitz ‘Abe Ruef, Chief of Police:Wittmar and | Commissioners Reagan and.

The offe epted by the Commissioners, public investiga and’ a fon will 'be begun to- | morTow afternoon at 2 o'clock. | The whoie trouble ‘apparently was stirred up by a quiet raid made ‘by. Commissioner Hutton on Tuesday. night, when. with.an officer. and an.at- torney he gained entrance to a hou at 8§20 Jackson street and interrupted gambling gam His:report of the rmd is as follows . shortly on ely that ay streets h hinatowsn time -of its deltver “ommisstoner and the ‘e that a visit the gambling were about message was received at a Chinese gambling place at 102 Waverly place. At 9:26 Chin Kim You, who, I am told, is | president of the Gamblers’ Association, tele- | phoned to the gambling place at 820 Washing- ton strest that a_ Police Commissioner was | coming through Chinatown with the sergeant, | and to close up quick. Simflar. messages were | gent to other gambling houses. Bergeant Ellis met nie at Fowell and Clay | streets at We Welked down Clay street to Waverly place and proceeded north. We walked down Waverly place and found some | of the iron lattice doors locked with a pad- lcck, others were closed but not locked. About ali of the fron lattice doors were closed, which is not customary at that hour of the night or at any other of the frequent tir been through Chinatown in the We went into some five or places on Waverly place and or two persons sitting or moving around, mak- closing up. ing a pretense ‘We went to two or-three places on Wash- ington street with the game result. The side- walks on Washington Strest were aiso being crowded with Chinese. We went to some gambling places on St Louls alley and found the same state of facts Trere was no gambling being carried on In Chinatown at that time. I then walked with the sergeant to Jackson street, down Jackson street to Kearny and tken left him, and at 10 o'clock I received the above reports as to the time messages were received in the gambling places. Desiring to confirm my belief that the con ditions in Chinatown on the evening of the 25th of November were not normal I went to Chinatown on the 29th at 9 p. m. in a closad coupe in company with Officer Minehan and L. G. Carpenter. When we arrived in front of §20 Washington street Mr. Carpenter and myself hastily entered and found about one hundred Chinese busily engaged in either play- {nK or ms spectators at the game of fantan. Officer Minehan entered a_few minutes later and Sergeant Eilis about five minutes later. We succeeded in arresting about eighty-five inmates. acquired a quantity of evidence and $662 95 in money. one of the places I visited the This was night before and found no onme there. On the contrary those who had evidently been there a few minutes previous appeared to be temporarily on the street and sidewalks in front thereof. I had been informed some two weeks pre- vious that for months past no gambling was being carried on except when the police were restrained by an Injunction or at least up to the hour of 11 p. m.. but the fact as It ap- pears to me is that the only time gambling is | not carried on is when there is no opportunity of knowing that s Police Commissioner is about to make a visit. The above matters are presented for such action as vou may desire to take. Very respectfully yours, H. W. HUTTON. This report was temporarily flled and the discussion on the newspaper article again taken up. Chief Wittman said ‘that he had no knowledge of money be- ing paid for protection in Chinatown, but if such were the case he courted investigation. “I ask for a full investi- gation,” he said. “When a man has a clear conscience he fears no one, and I am that way. I will come out with fly- ing colors.” Commissioner Drinkhouse said: In reference to an article appearing in an evening paper regarding protection of Chinese Zamblers by this department, I wish . to say that, so far as It refers to me, it is like many other articles in that vaver—an outrageous, bare-faced le. I am and always have been against toleratinz this open gambling, and always will be against it and I want it dis- tinctly understocd that I am ready on the first bresentation of any Droof of corrupt knowledge or corrupt conduct in this connec- tion on the part of any member of this de- partment, high or low, to vote for his imme- diate dismissal. Commissioner Reagan was equally bitter in his denunciation of what he termed “‘a base and slanderous lle.” He also expressed a perfect willingness to be investigated, and said he would do |5 411 in his power to punish any gumy parties. On behalf of Mayor -Schmitz the fol- lowing resolution was presented and unanimously adopted: ‘Whereas, It has frequently been rumored and alleged that a corruption fund is pald to certain officlals of this department for the mcflm gambiers in Chinatown: and hereas, repeated effort on the part of mem- bers of this commission and of the Mayor of | posstble | On " Behalf of Chinese Interested At- | .ing fantan, | for heqrtng on Saturday at 10 a. m. as resulted only in discovering uu:i seen collected in Chinatown osten the ‘plirposes stated, but it has with rt and expense been found im- certaln - whether - these moneys | Chinese who collect the same lal or oth person for any pur whereay, ot only should the.whole. g in Chinatown be suppressed, but ffering or guaranteeing monevs for that . pur full - exten the 10 he greates Chiet of Police that the ppres police officers to gambiing : house -in )¢ the Poliee Department ia the reward occasioned funds are low, but Nily olunteered £ own pocket made by ‘Ruef-and 4.

The difference between an interloc- utory and a final decree of divorce was not known to Mattie Irene Law- son when she thought she became the wife of James Lawson on March 1 last. She passed the first stage of legal separation on December 16, 1903, when she received an interloc- | utory decree from Joseph McMahon, and ten weeks later she went through a marriage ceremony with Lawson. As soon as she found that she was not legally married she filed an action for | annulment of the union. Her plea was granted yesterday by Judge Sloss. Thomas B. Eagan, who Is working on an electric railroad between San Mateo and San Jose, has not paid Mary Eagan, his divorced wife, the alimony ‘awarded by the court for twenty-two months past and is now $1170 in her debt. She filed an affi- davit yesterday for an order for him to show cause why he should not pay up. She has seven children to sup- port. Judge Troutt, in whose court the case has been under submission, yes- terday annulled the narriage of Richard and Sophia Bucking because the husband found out, after the cere- mony, that his bride had been a per- son cf immoral character. Rivorces were granted by Judge Hebbard '‘to Strody Battin from Elmyra Battin, desertion; to Isabella Hocking from Alfred Hocking, desertion; to Cath- arina Guiliani from Natale Guiliani, desertion; by Judge Sloss to Edith A. Lesser from Harry H. Lesser, de- sernon by Judge Kerrigan to Maria E. Knaul from Peter Knaul, de- sertion und neglect; to Mrs. Z. H. | Langdon from R. B. Langdon, neg-: lect. The Knauls were married in 1874 1874. —_—ee————— Mystery of a Sea Cook. An unknown man was found on a lumber pile at Irwin and Sixth streets | vesterday afternoon with a deep gash, over his right eye. At the Emergency~ Hgspital he was examined by Dr. Pinkham, who declared that the pa- tient was suffering from a fracture of the skull. On recovering conscious- ness the man said that his name was Willlam Groth and that he had been employed as a cook on a coasting ves- sel. When searched he had $117 on hie person. He could not explain where he got the money or how he came to be injured.’ Detective Wren was put on the case by Detective Cap- tain Burnett. —ee———— LOSES AN ARM.—Oakland, Nov. 30.—John Holman, an iron worker employed on the new Union Savings Bank building at Thirteenth street and Broadway, got his arm in the ma- chinery of a new elevator being installed there this afternoon and it was so crushed that it was amputated at the elbow by Drs.

(LEIR OF SHOT ' With a man with a pistol close at his | heels, W' T.. Buckley of 1026A Folsom | street frantically huried himself from | a second story window at 1198 Folsom | street shortly Before § o'clock last night | and sustained serlous injurfes. Henry | Schuur, 2 saloon-keeper at 1198 Folsom street, aimed the weapon and at tempted to kill Buckley, his wife and! William Hilton. Hilton and Mrs Buck- | ley escaped the llquor dealer's wrath! by clfmbing half a block over the roofs | of adjoining houses. The Buckleys had been living above Schuur's saloon in apartments owned by the saloon man. Tuesday they moved, because they allege Schuur re- peatedly refused to repair the roof, which was ledky. Last night, with Hil-| ton, they went back to the flat to get a | few small things they had overlooked. When thev reached the door of the house they found a vicious dog, which! Schuur had tied there, guarding the threshold. Their attempt to gain en- trance brought Schuur out. Threaten- ing them, the saloon man demanded | that thev leave the premises. Policeman Annear was sumimoned | and succeeded in getting them into the house. While the three whre there Mrs. | Buckley spied Schuur bounding up the | stairs with a revolver in his hand.| Brandishing the weapon the irate man told them to get out, at the same time | advancing on a run and atming the pis- tol at Mrs. Buckley, who was nearest. The woman screamed to her husband and Hilton to run. She and Hilton got out of a rear window and after climb- ing over roofs for half a block were rescued by neighbors. Buckley was not so fortunate. He saw nothing but im-, mediate death for him, and with a| bound burst through the closed win- dow thirty feet to the sidewalk below. He landed on his head and left knee and lay unconscious and bleeding upon | the pavement. He,was removed te the| Central Emergency Hospital, where | Drs. Pawlicki and Hutchinson found | that he had sustained a fracture of the left patella and a deep laceratign of the | scalp, with a possible fractur® of the frontal bone. His wife was uninjured, but was hysterical when she found that her husband was badly hurt. Schuur was arrested and booked at the City Prison for assault with a dead- ly weapon. Buckley is a contractor and elevator inspector. | —_————————— POLICE ARREST MANY ALLEGED WRONGDOERS Men Suspected of Having Committed Crimes Are Taken Into Custody by Detectives.

The antiquities are general | In their nature, including collections from Egypt, Nubia, South Sea isiands, | the ancient missions and various min- erals and geological specimens. The do- nation represents the personal work of | Hopkins for_the past ten years, during which time he has been making a tour of the world. The Egyptian exhibits were secured from Emil Brugsch Bey, curator of the Gizeh, consisting of of antiquities, such as scarabs, representations of the sacred animals and gods, emblematic charms, cartouches, bronze figures, seal rings, Nubian bottles, water jugs and the like. The most interesting ex- hibit is of five Ushabti or Responders, found in the tombs of Abydos and dat- ing back to the nineteenth dynasty. This collection is especially valuable and adds to the already large exhibit obtained by Mrs. Stanford The South Sea island exhibit is made | up of specimens of native workman- ship, such as fans, articles of drees, a model hut, surf boats and many fine pieces of tappa cloth. From the old missions are several pairs of old brass candlesticks from the old Franciscan Mission of San Buena Ventura, old pestles used by the fathers of Santa Barbara Mission for pulverizing the frankincense burned in the church, a box used for generatiops by the fa- thers for holding “holy oil,” specimens of Mexican and old Spanish pottery jars, dagger sheaths and other things | of general interest. The Indian exhibit consists of com- | plete collections of arrowheads and spearheads and chips, found among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, stone mortars, baskets of fern fiber grass and bark, potlach spoons, hats and a model of Navajo blanket loomi. These gifts are not the first doma- tions that Mr. Hopkins has given to Stanford. He has shown great interest in the museum, aiding Mrs. Stanford at every possible opportunity. His Ko- rean collection and a rare exhibit of Egyptian textiles, together with many Greek and Roman coins, were placed in the museum several years ago. ADVERTISEMENTS.
