HUGHES DENIES ALL. { Hugh Hughes, speaking of the suit filed against him by Sophie Morris, said { Her claims against me for damages are sim- ply absurd.

When her poor mother was lying here in my | house at death’'s door We sent down to the Agnews Asylum, where Miss Morris was under treatment, and bad her brought up here in care of & nurse that she might be with her mother during her dying hours. On arrival .ere she acted like & raving maniac. Bhe sbused everybody in sight and kept up such & fre of talk that the nurse was obilged to take sway again. Her case is a pathetic one, Ehe has & splendid education, and wers It not | for her terrible thirst for liguor would be a | woman of exceptional brilliancy. This statement was entirely corrobo- | rated by Mrs. Hughes, the sister of Miss Morr! | —_—— Artificial Flowers Burn. A fire broke out in the rear of Henry Vowinkel's picture and artificial flower store at 704 Larkin street last night | &t 11 o'clock, which frightened the neighbors into sending in three slarms from as many different boxes. | The flames were soon extinguished by the Fire Department. The inflam- | mable character of the merchandise | in the store was such thateverything | of value was consumed. The fire orig- inatéd in the workshop, where an as- scrtment of wax, varnishes and other igpitable stuff was stored. In the ab- sence of the proprietor an estimate of the damage could not be ascertained. It was stated that he carried 'a small insurance on his stock, but the amount was not known.

Ll PRINCE LIKES THIS COUNTRY | Fushimi Says Greatness of | United States Has Made a | Deep Impression on Him \ 'ADMIRES ROOSEVELT| ! Japanese Nobleman Speaks| | With Praise of the Treat- ' | ment Aecorded Him Here s R Jacob A. Riis, author, newspaper man | Prince Fushimi of Japan, who' ar-! and phi made his bow be- rived here from the East at an early fore a San jeisco audience last hour yesterday morning, spent a large night at the Y. M. C. A., which was portion of the day in Golden Gate Park crowded with some of the most repre- sentative citizens of‘the city. On the platform with the distin- guished visitor were ex-Mayor Phelan, who introduced Mr. Riis in a graceful speech and made flattering allusions to President Roosevelt, Rolla V. Watt and General Secretary McCoy of the Y. M. “I'he Battle With the Siums” was the subject of the lecture and if Riis failed for a moment to disclose the true, in- ward life of the conditions of slumdom in the great city of New York it must have been through the darkness of the hovels which his picture reproduced on the canvas. While his views were vivid his graphic account of human suffer- ing and degradation (through “greedy landlordism”) was equal in portraiture to the pictures he, when a reporter on the New York Sun, and later, took himself. The speaker showed tenements wherein hundreds of families lived, sans air, sans light, sans sunshine; he | pictured with word and stereopticon the overcrowding; men huddled together like animals in & pen, sleeping on floor and shelves, with bedding wretched and dirty, and without so' much as a cover- ing for their shivering forms. Children were presented in the mar- row, cold, cheerless exteriors of these tenements, and Riis asked would it be surprising under such conditions if the unfortunate young thrived on the crime germs which such surroundings breed. Such conditions, if allowed in any city, he said, boded no good for the fu- ture of those unhappy ones who had to endure them, and besides those 'very conditions of depravity springing from the “greed of the landlords” are a dan- ger. to the peace of a community, and even to the ultimate prosperity and foundation of the country. Here in San Francisco the citizens face the same peril as they do in New York. If they overcrowd tenements wherein twenty families are to be | housed under one roof there will be slums in San Francisco, too, and we will pay $1,000,000 for & block for play- grounds, as they have had to do in New York. He told of how they had had to fight the conspiracy of “human selfishness and greed” until last year a law was enacted which prohibited the building of a tenement which excluded the sun- shine and dir. There had been 360,000 | dark rooms in the tenements and the “Battle of the Slums,” he said, will Jast until ghase . dark ropme are gone. ¥ Riis then showed pictures of the ten- ments, which have been lately con- structed as a result of the inquiry into the all-important >subject, showing marked improvement in exterfor and | interior architecture and plans. The lecturer was frequently applaud- ed, and at the close of his descriptive narration he was given a perfect ova- tion ————— ‘Wheels Stolen From Buggy.

Dec. 20.—King Charles and Queen Amelia arrived here to-day on their return from their visits to Great Britain and France. It is alleged that with the members of his party and the local Japanese reception committee. During his absence the local Japanese colony, appreciating their distinguished countryman’s admiration for horses, raised a fund of $1200, with which they purchased a handsome white charger. At the park yesterday the formal pre- sentation of the horse was made, and the well-pleased nobleman, after thank- ing his countrymen for their gift, mounted the high-spirited animal and tried him out over the park roads. In the evening the Prince and his suite dined in their apartments at the St. Francis and retired early, prepara- tory of their departure for Monterey to- day. After a short sojourn there they will proceed down the coast as far as Santa Barbara, returning in time to embark. on the steamship Mongolia. It is with considerable show of reluctance | that Prince Fushimi subjects himself to interviews. In fact, he invariably shields himself behind a stereotyped excuse of his attendants that he is “traveling incognito” and is expected to be free from the importunities of newspaper representatives. Another favorite excuse is that he i{s not an English-speaking Japanese, but he | often shows his familiarity with Eng- lish by unconsciously smiling when some one is bold enough to make some comment about him in English within hearing. Last evening, when pressed for a statement regarding his views of the United States, In so far as he had seen the country, he carefully studied for a moment and then replied through | an interpreters - I have seen nothing in America but what | pleased me. The courteous treatment ac- | corded me by your people deeply impressed | me ‘with the fact that you are very kindly dis- | posed toward country.

Small wonder that a double hundred and more of men and women sought out| the emerald clubroom at the St. Fran- cls last night, for the cards had al- luringly announced the guests of honor to be Miss Hallle Erminie Rives and Howard Malcolm Tichnor. Now, every man in the club wanted to meet Miss Rives, even as every woman longed to meet Mr. Tichnor, about Browning, the prince of lovers, than any man here at home, for West- ern men are not addicted to Browning to any great extent—rather do they prefer a good fight, as witness the af-| fair at the Pavilion last night. But to the credit of the Sequofa be it said that its men—most of them— “‘passed up” the allurements of the ring for the pleasant chatter of the club. But a query went up through' the long, sweet night, “Where is Wil- llam Greer Harrison, the club leader, director and raconteur ?” thought that the fight lured him. It is believed he was ill, else would he not have missed s0 important a session of the club he has nurtured so tenderly since its inception. After an interesting chatter, and a swapping~of compliments twixt the poets and artists and|the others who compose the audience, the members and guests adjourned to the red reception rooms, and there went into executive | session—which -sounds much more formidable than it really was—with the club president, Charles Sedgwick Alken, on the plano-stool. \ In a speech laden with fact and fancy Mr. Aiken dwelt upon the permanency of the club, with its 300 members and A long waiting list, and the general Impression that the club had outgrown its headquarters. Although’the hotel management had been most cordial and generous with the club, still there was a general desire among members for a home of their own. This called forth a clever little speech from John McNaught and a brace of resolutions from Edgar Peixotto giv- ing the directors power to double the dues and to find a suitable home with the increased revenue. After some discussion the matter | was declded upon, and before many moons the Sequoia will be a house- l}‘mlder of its own, with its own latch- ey. 5 After the momentous question had been disposed of an excellent brew of punch was served, with which the suc- cess of the directors in their hearth- stone search was drunk with many orisons. Among the guests were noted: James D. Phelan, Mrs. Elizabeth Gerberding, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Peixotto, Mr. and Mrs, Mark Gerstle, Mr. and Mrs, Frank Matthieu, Mr. and Mrs. H.

What is more attractive than a new store?—a store resplendent with rare and | beautiful wares and graced with that indefinable beauty of architecture, char- acteristic of the establishment of an en- terprising merchant, who belleves that an elegant stock deserves an elegant set- ting. When the doors of Joseph Fredericks & Co.'s new establishment were opened a store and a stock of surpassing beauty were revealed to the public. From the first floor's resplendency of magnificent woods and exquisite carvings to the top- most story's great collection of floor cov- erings and draperies there is beauty and taste and elegance everywhere. For over forty years the name of Fred- which is most worthy in all that per- tains to furniture and furnishings. And 80 only those wares which are stamped with merit and beauty are displayed in this vast showhouse of furniture art. As you enter the building from Ellis street the eye beholds a magnificent col- lection of dining-room furniture, involy- ing all the different styles and periods, so tastefully arranged that the mere in- spection of so superior a stock is a pleasure. There are superb dining-room sets— some of sturdy character, beautifully carved; tistic of execution in the most popular :\nllh!fl. All the woods are represented— hogany and birdseye maple. the gallery you will find a splendid assortment of office furniture and chairs, To the business man or student this dis- play will be of unusual attractiveness, oflerln% as it does a Aery complete line of the best office appurtenances. As the visitor journeys by elevator to the next floor he wonders what new charms await him; and it may he safely asserted that there is no assortment of bedroom fur- niture so complete and beautiful as thaf | e™n ‘system and will assume control which occupies the second story of Fred- | ericks.

Chamberlain, in addressing a public meeting in the East End, hit out even more sharply than usual, and showed no little feeling in reference to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the | former Liberal leader in the House of Commons, who had sald of Chamber- lain, “At least he might try to be a gentleman.” Sir Henry to-night made a speech in | the same hall and before an audience | | equaling in numbers and enthusiasm the one addressed by Chamberlain. Ha dwelt at the outset at some length upon the subject of the unemployed of Lon- don, which now threatens to become a serious question, and advocated that | the Government at once inaugurate | | large works and thus benefit the state and at the same time afford employ- | ment to thousands who are threatened | with dtarvation. Sir Henry then began | a reply to Chamberlain, and said: “It is not these who are forever | mouthing the word ‘empire’ and using | that word to cover their own shady acts and their own policies who are the best friends of the empire.” Continuing, the speaker challenged | Chamberlain’s right to speak for the colonies, and asserted that Chamber- | lain spoke only for himself and his tariff commission; but the self-govern- Hng colonies had not authorized him to speak in their name. Sir Henry Campbell - Bannerman's | speech largely followed the lines of { his previous utterances, though it was adapted to an audience composed of typical residents of the East End. _— POWER PLANT FOR GOLDFIELD Big Electric Project Now Taking Shape for Develop- ‘ ing Rich Mining Claims | A - million-dollar electrio light and | power service for Tonopah, Goldfield | and the neighboring mining camps of | evada is the latest enterprise planned | for those rich sections of the Sagebrush | State. It was learned yesterday ums the recent presence at the Palace Hotel | of Tasker Oddle, the millionaire min- | ing man of Tonopah, and several | wealthy men from Denver, was in con- | nection with this project. ! It is proposed to establish an electric ! plant on Bishop Creek in Eastern Cal- | ifornia, about ninety miles from Gold- | field, Nev., where the generation of the power will be accomplished and | | transmitted to the mining district, across the State line. The surveys for the power line have already been made and the work of construction on the plant will begin in a few days. Interested in the com- pany, beside Oddie, are Charles F. Pot- ter, a capltalis! Rodney Curtls, a tramway magnate of Denver; G. S. Wood, who represents Millionaire David Moffatt of Denver; Clarence | Hobbs and Frank J. Campbell, also prominently identified with Colorado | enterprises. Hobbs is now at Bishop superintend- | efforts the syndicate has secured wa- | ter rights on Bishop Creek capable of | furnishing from 3000 to 5000 horse- power. It is also reported that during | his recent visit to Tonopah Dr. Ward, brother-in-law of Millionaire Charles Schwab, who owns the Tononah Ex-| tension mine, gave Oddie and his asso- | ciates assurance that Schwab would contribute a share of the necessary | capital for the promotion of the elec- | tric power and lighting project. | The completion of the power service will be hailed with great satisfaction in the Nevada mining camps, to which it | will mean a great aid in the develop- | ment of the properties. It is also ex- | pected that the establishing of the plant will result in the building of an electric road into Goldfleld and thence to Tonopah. 1 —_——— FRIENDS SAYS FAREWELL !

HOSTILE BANDS RUN T0 EARTH URY FIXING IS ATTEMPTED But One Group of Moros Now | Federal Authorities Tearn Defies the Authority of | Americans in the Islands LSS P WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—General Wood, commanding the Department of Mindanao in the Philippines, in his annual report to the War Department, says that the troops of the depart- ment have been in the field a great portion of the year quelling armed uprisings and preventing slave lrude’ and kindred abuses. He says that in almost every instance actual fighting was Initfatéd by ‘the Moros. He adds: Conditions among the Moros. throughout the department are generally peaceful. The estab- lishment of civil government and the ex- tension over them of certain laws and regula- tions have caused some excitement and at times serious resistance, especially the prohibiting slavery. In some sectlons active hostility has been engendered by our presence, especially in the Lake Lanao region, whers aimost constant murderous attacks on work- ingmen and soldlers were the rule untfl the | effects of the recent expeditions to the Tarca | side of the lake, combined with expeditions to other sections of the Lanao, wers felt by the Moros. The power of the Moros of that section, he says, has been completely broken. Continuing, the report says: In Jolo affairs are quiet. The prompt crush- ing of Hassan's uprising has made a deep impression on the people, and the abrogation of the Bates agreement has done much to bring to an_end the unfortunate conditions which existed under it. Dato Ali's party, the report adds, is the only band of Moros now openly hostile and it is small and is being followed by troops and scouts.
