A. KRATZ Man Who Fled to Mexico Will Soon Be Tried on Charge of Em- bezzlement. was impaneled in Judge court yesterday to try the case of A. A. Kratz on a charge of felony embezziement. The examina- tion of the witnesses will be com- menced this morning. Kratz's brother William was vice president of the Donandt-Kratz Company, commission agents, and on February 13, 1908, William collected about $18,000 and disappeared with the coin. The de- fendant was with him at the time. ‘William was arrested in Kansas City, where he was living under an as- sumed name. He was brought back, tried and convicted and sentenced to serve five years in San Quentin. A. A. Kratz was out on $10,000 ury bonds waiting” trial. Last September it was reported that he had been drowned while bathing at Long Beach, but Judge Dunne did not be- lieve the reports, although supported by afidavits, and forfeited Kratz's bonds, ordering a bench warrant for his arrest. Subsequently he was ar- rested in Mexico and brought back by Detective T. B. Gibson. P SO S SAYS THERE WILL BE NO CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY Secretary Lermen of Yosemite Com- missibn Declares Soldiers May Now Camp Where They Please. J. J. Lermen, secretary of the Yo- semite Commission, says there is no longer any conflict between the State and military authorities over the | yuestion as to where the army guard | shall camp in_ the reservation this | year. The Commission claims that | the park is still under the supervision | of the State authorities until the Na- tional Government shall have accept- ed the re-céssion, but the army people think the Yosemite is already under Federal control. Attorney General Webb has beén called upon to settle the difficulty. Meanwhile the guard under Captain Benson will proceed to“the valley and camp where it may deem best. The troops assigned to the duty are a number of members of the Fourth Cavalry. Mr. Lermen says he has | discussed the matter with Captain | Benson in a thoroughly friendly spirit | and that there will be no further fric tion between the Commission and the army on any topic whatever. ——————— BENEFIT FOR MISS DELLA .

NG, WHEN DINNER D MATRONS FOR THE + Fashion and philanthropy, congenial- |1y amalgamated. invaded and held |sway thrcugh the scheduled working hours yesterday in Young's restaurant on Market street. Women of means, position and kind hearts lent their services, monetary and practical, with much. unreserve as those accus- tomed to the walks of workaday life. The Infants’ Shelter, soliciting and eliciting the sympathy and aid of the public, finds itself to-day wonderfully bettered by the efforts and attention of the past twenty-four hours. The object and achievements of the iShelter, while known to some extent, will bear a word further of explana- tion. . Babes and little ones, destitute or | insufficiently cared for, find attention {and comfort at the Shelter. Many times they have parents who are nat- |ural and dutiful, but whose circum- | stances do not admit of proper care to | their offspring. In this event the little folk are given a home at thé Shelter “unul their rightful homes are provi- | dent, | Yesterday's | | ias affair bore all the | marks of a society function, so far as | beauty of surrounding could indicate. Flowers, varied, beautiful and in quantity, adorned the entrance to the restaurant. Roses, carnations, can- aryenthus, boughs—all lent their at- traction of hue and fragrance. Forty- four tables, with snowy linen and pol- | ished accouterments, were constantly in use, and an afternoon tea might | have been in progress to judge from numbeérs and chatter of genuine, | wide-awake interest. At 6 p. m. the doors were closed for an hour to allow of uninterrupt- ed preparation for dinner, which be- gan at 7:30. Menus, a la carte, had been offered before this hour, when table d’hote began. Long before noon every table had been engaged, #o that many who expected dining in behalf of the Shelter were barred out upon arrival. The sight of so many - dinner par- ties was animating and extremely gratifying, not alone to the eye— pretty as was the. scene—for the financial result was also in considera- tion. Added to this was the flitting about of soclety maids and matrons in their newly assumed roles of waltresses, aptitude and discretion characterizing their duties. Among them were Miss Ida Carmany, Miss Susie McNab and Miss Alicia B. Mills. Those who engaged tables and enter- | tained guests were Mrs. J. T. Dare, | Mrs. A. W. Scott, Mrs. Thomas Grant, Mrs. E. B. Cutter, Mrs. J. R. Hannify, Mrs. Charles Goodall, Mrs. George M. Perine, Mrs. J. G. MacKinley, Mrs. C. R. Havens, Mrs. A. W. Jackson, Mrs. Robert Topltiz, Mrs. Lehnhardt, Mr: Prager, Mrs. L. J.

W. Smith, Mrs. Whipple and the ‘Misses Ferris. Music by Rubinstein’s orchestra enliv- ened the occasion. Mrs. Herbert E. Law, who is one of the earnest patronesses, was obliged to relinquish her table owing to a family bereavement. The Shelter will benefit by nearly $1000 from yesterday's enter- prise, —_——— Will Talk About ;Animals.

Pike of this city, lately in- terested as a broker in mining and oil investments, has been made defendant in a suit for $100,000, brought against yhim by the directors of the Eastern Consolidated Oil Company, with head- quarters in Cincinnati and properties i the Santa Barbara County fields In California. It is alleged that Pike has made no settlement, as fiscal agent of the com- pany, of money in his possession since the company’s organization in 1901. It is claimed that several thousand shares have been sold by Pike, for which he has made no return to the company. Major E. Henry Hyde, counsel for the plaintiffs, says there is a balance of be- tween $£60,000 and $70,000 due from Pike. The company does not intimate any criminal intent or defalcation on Pike's part. The company was organized in April, 1901, under the laws of Maine. 5% Pike makes light of the suit and says that it was brought at this time, just a week before the annual meeting in Portland, to discredit him with the company and secure revocation of proxies, which he holds for nearly 38,000,000 shares. —_———— Against the Conservative Life. A sym exceeding $14,000,000 is annual- 1y sent out of California in Lfe insur- ance premiums. The California Company tends to reverse this movement. Against the Conservative Life the feeling is naturally strong among those whose business it is to cellect the $14,000,000. * e e MATTRESS-MAKER STABBED.—John T. Green, mattress-maker at the Hoey fastory, Perry and Fourth streets, cut in _the breast, wrist and side of the head yesterday by Joseph Morris, a fellow workman, who used & pocketknife. Green had struck Morris. The wounded man was taken to the Bmergency Hospital and Morris was arrested by Detec— tive Bell. 4 e i ! { but none that has equaled in intensity | when they | went through that wire as though it | diately there was a cry: _|ELK ESCAPES FROM A CAGE Margaret, Popular Park Den- izen, Creates Excitement in the Mechanies’ Pavilion LASSOED BY KEEPER Beautiful Animal Will Be a Feature of Forest and Game Association Display —a g There have been many mad scenes of excitement at Mechanies’ Pavilion since the carpenters finished battening on the outside boards of the great structure, the arrival yesterday aftérnoon of Mar- garet, a cow elk from Golden Gate Park, who is destined as an attraction ior the exhibit now being prepared for the Pacific - Coast Forest, Fish and Game Association. Margaret was se- lected because of her tractable disposi- | tion—“sweet, pale Margaret,”” her keep- er calls her out at the park, because she is so gentle. Her removal began in the morning, when a stout crate was backed up to| the elk corral and she was induced to! enter it. This was loaded into a huge van and the journey was made to the Pavilion without misgivings, except on the part of Margaret. Scenes unfa- miliar to her, either on the grassy stretches of the park or on her plains and hills of Saskatchewan, worked on her nerves. She was overwrought when she reached the Pavilion. There a chute had been erected from the Larkin street entrance, such as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad used to build for rustic Arkansans intended to emigrate to Texas, so they would not be afraid to get on the train. Margaret was started down the chute all right into a forty- foot pen built for her. The pen was sheathed in heavy wire eight feet high, and above that was a tangle of lighter wire. Margaret struck the bottom of the chute, and then she arose, like Professor Montgomery’s aeroplane, and was a custard pie. She landed out in the middle of the main floor. Imme- “The elk’s out!” A disinterested and unexcited ob- server, whq watched the subsequent proceedings from an electric light wire, said he had seen nearly every good ac- robatic team that had performed in public for the last ten years, but he had never witnessed such exhibitions of alacrity before as were displayed by the two hundred or more attaches pres- ent. They went up the walls like flies and hung suspended from girders, win- dow sashes and studboards as though they liked their positions. In the meantime the elk had disap- peared and nobody knew where she was. At the end of the Pavilion hung a cage containing ‘“old Dick,” a crow be- longing to Tom Ferguson, the Market street saloon-keeper. The crow is as verbose as a District Judge and can be as fully biting in his remarks. When Margaret rushed wup the floor and slipped under his cage he gave vent to a series of remarks which if translated from crow language would probably not look well in print. This was the first clew to Margaret’s whereabouts. The searchers slid-along the sides of the building and sighted the elk lying on the floor. She saw them about the same time, and jumping to her feet she made a leap to the music stand and from there clear over the railing of the first gallery, where she fell again and rested. Her keeper climbed a pillar and took a hitch on her head with a riata. Others came and tied her hind and fore legs. Then she was packed and dragged back to her pen, where the wiremen went to work to construct a barricade that will hold her for a while. Dr. d'Evelyn, who is in charge of the bird and animal exhibit, was-an inter- ested and perspiring witness to the en- tire’ performance. When it was over he mopped his brow and said: “It’s a mighty lucky thing that the accident of birth made that elk a cow instead of a bull.” ———— Changes in Train Time.

Piotroski was arrested but the girl is still at large, having left town when she learned of his arrest. The man posed as the girl's uncle and she ob- tained employment at the homes of several wealthy Redlands people as a domestic, never failing to give the highest satisfaction.
