The footpad did not offer her any violence, but wanted any money she had in her possession. The girl told the pollce that she was on her way downtown and while she was walking along Franklin street, be- tween Jackson and Washington, a youth about 20 years of age stopped her. “Say.,” he sald, ‘what money have you got?’ She thought he was joking, but when he felt for the pocket of her dress she realized that he intended to take any money she had. He did not find any coin and walked along down Franklin street toward the bay. She said he had a smooth face, was about 5 feet 814 or 9 inches tall and wore a soft dark hat and dark sack suit. —_—ee———— Devere as a Veterinarian, 2 : Jack Devere, a popular steward at the Central Emergency Hospital, yes- terday showed that as well as being an expert in the dressing of human wounds he can in an emergency treat an Injured quadruped in a way that would make some veterinarians asham- ed of themselves.

This important decision was reached with some reluctance, because it was appreciated by Secretary Taft and the éxecutive committee that there would be surely a great outcry from twé great interests in this country—the producers of material and the shipowners—if the purchasés were not limited to the American products. But it was déclded that the money consideration was so great that it could not be ignored, for it was held that, in some cases, fully 50 per cent more would be chargéd for material needed in canal construction than the same goods could be procured for in Europe. < Chiet Engineer Wallace, for instance, showed that two ships, in addition to the ones running between New York and Colon and owned by the Panama Railroad Company, were absolutely fecessdry to carry the food supply and material needed for the work. No American ship could be bought at any reasonable price, and when it came to bullding such ships it was found, sic- éording to Secretary Taft's statement, that while he could buy two 2600 ton ships in Europe for $750,000, {t would cost $1,400,000 to build such ships here. And, in addition, while the European ships could be had at once, it would take at least eighteen months to pro- cure American boats. As to the material needed for eanal construction, the committee decided that by reserving to itself the right to purchase in the world’s markets, it would at least oblige American manu- facturers to give the benefit of their fereign prices if they wish to sell goods to the commission. Sécretary Taft explained to-day that he felt obliged to indorse this decision because, having given Congreds every opportunity to give a contrary decision, he felt that the very terms of the canal act provided that it should bLe con- structed at the lowest possible cost. —_——— RECOVERS HER POSITION BUT LOSES HER SALARY Adelin A. Little Wins Her Fight for Reinstatement in the City's School Department. Judge Seawell decided yesterday morning that Adelia A. Little, who was dismissed from the School De- partment for insubordination in Oc- position, but he denied her petitioni for salary during the period of her en- forced idleness, holding that her own acts had been in a large measure re- sponsible for her loss. Plaintiff was appointed a teacher on April 2, 101, and taught in the Stan- ford Primary up to August 1, 1900, when her class was consolidated and she was placed on the substitute list. On October 1, 1902, she was assigned to the Horace Mann School, but she re- fused to report for duty, saying the board should assign her to her old class. Charges of insubordination were pre- ferred against her and she was dis- missed from the department. She brought suit for reinstatement on the ground that she had been illegally dis- missed, as the board had cited her to appear and show cause why she should not be dismissed, thus indicating that it had prejudged the case. Judge Se: well holds that this point is well taken, and while ordering that Miss Little be reinstated, he denied her petition for salary on the ground that the board had the right to assign her to the Hor- ace Mann School and she should have accepted the position given her. —_— FORGER LAKE FAILS ToO ANSWER TO HIS NAME — Judge Lawlor Forfeits Bonds of $3000 d Orders Bench Warrant Issued for His Arrest. The case of Al Lake, charged with forgery, was again called in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday and the de- fendant failing to appear, the Judge declared his -bonds forieited and or- dered a bench warrant issued for his arrest. His attorney, M. L. Ryan, said he had made every effort to find.the defendant, but without success. The defendant is out on $3000 bonds, his sureties Qeing John J. Kenny and Frank Coburn. Lake was a bookkeeper for Robert Trost, contractor on Army street, and ‘was In the habit of forging the names of payees on checks signed by his em- ployer and cashing them. The total amount’ secured by Lake in this way was about $1800. The checks were cashed by the Western National Bank on the guarantee of Samuel Flexner, a grocer, who had a store near Trost's office. Lake fled and was arrested in Sedttle by Pinkerton detectives. Flex- ner sold out ais grocery business and left the city shortly after the warrant was sworn out for Lake's arrest last November. —_———— DIN'I'II'I‘S ARE HOLDING A Gbml%b MEETING Varlous Branches of' o«nw Work Are Beiag Exploited by " Demonstrations nnd Talks.

Carnegie to the Anthorities in England MANY AT THE CEREMONY Prince of Wales Not Present and Lord ‘Avebury Receives Diplodocus ‘in His Stead Special Dispateh to The Call LONDON, May 16.—The formal pre- sentation of the reproduction of the diplodocus which Andrew Carnegie has given to the King, and which at his Majesty's suggestion has been set up in the British Museum, has taken place. Owing to previous engagements of a pressing character neither King Edward nor the Prince of Wales was able to be present. The Prince of Wales, until the last moment, hoped to attend the ceremony, but found it im- possible. Lord Avebury, representing the Board of Trustees of the British Museum, preésided. A letter from Lord Knollys, King kdward's secretary, was read in which Lord Knollys on behalf of the King expressed thanks to Carnegie for his generous compliance with his Majesty’s wishes in having the diplodocus repro- duced for the Eritish Museum. Professor E. Ray Lancaster, director of the museum, then introduced Andrew Carfiesie, who in a brief speech < présentéd the skeleton to the trustees. It was received on their be- half by Lor Avebury, who gracefully responded to Carnegie’s remarks and who then called upon Dr. Holland, di- rector of the Carnegie Institute In Pittsburg, who has had charge of the maklng and setting up of the replica. Dr. Holland gave the assembled com- pany a brisf account of the animaland told the story of its discovery in the Jurassic rocks of Wyoming. Dr. Hol- land spoke highly of the work done by his deceased assoctate, Mr. Hatcher, and his a#sistant A. S. Coggenhall in connection with the diplodogus, and tendered thanks to the officers of the British Museum for all the courtesies which had been extended to him while engaged In setting up the huge skele- ton. Among - those present at the cere- mony were the Archbishop of Canter- bury, Sir Clements Markham, presi- dent of the Royal Geographical Soclety: Lord Kelvin, Waltef Rothschild, John Morley and a large number of others high in rank and soclal station. The trustecs of the museum were seated in a semi-circle near the head of the diplodocus, on either side of the speakers, and chairs accomodating 250 persons filled the space along the rep- tile Toom on either side of the great skeleton. A large crowd also stood at the front of tHe hall. Dr. W. L. Distant, editor of the Zoologist, declared the presentation to be the zoological event of the year. — e . FOTURICI’S ATTORNEY ASKS THAT SHE BE RELEASED Judge Lawlor Fixes the Bonds in $10,- 000, to Which Defendant’s At- torney Takes Exception. Mrs. Rosa Torturici, indicted by the Grand Jury for the murder of Biagsgio! Vilardo, was brought into Judge Law- lor's court yesterday at the request of her attorney, J. A. Spinetti, who made an application ;that the woman be ad- mitted to bail if she was not to have an immédiate trial. He urged that the court fix the bail in a nominal sum, as the defendant had no friends here ‘who could assist her. District Attorney Byington said he desired to try the woman's husband first, as he did not wish to disclose the evidence he had against Torturicl at the trial of his wife. He offered no objection to the woman being admitted to bail. The Judge said that as the case was one in which ball could be allowed he was willing to fix bonds in $10,000 for the defendant’s release. Spinetti took exception to the order of the court, saying it would be impossible to obtain bonds in $10,000. The Judge hinted that he might at a future time enter- tain a motfon for a reduction of the bonds and continued the case for two weeks. B — Attack Inheritance Tax Law. The constitutionality of the collateral inheritance tax law will be tested in suits, filed yesterday, to recover large sums paid to the city which the Board of Supervisors has refused to order re- turned upon démand.
