M'LEAN Seal Poachers Will Be Taken Dead or Alive by Or- ders ‘of U. S. Government DE SMIDT SURREM DERS Anothér of Those Who Are Charged With Abetting Freebooter Gives Bonds ———— S. E. R. de Smidt, who was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury with W, J. Wood, W. J. Woodside and R. J. Tyson for conspiring to catch seals in violation of the law, surrendered himself to the Federal authorities yesterday. He daid not leave with Captain Alex- ander McLean on the last cruise to the Bering Sea, as was at first belleved by Secret Service Agent Harry Moffitt, but has been in this city for several months. De Smidt, llke the others accused with him, was released on $3%%0 bonds. I\rI_eanWhi]e the daredevil McLean, now a pirate according to international law, is roving through the Bering Sea in quest of more sealskins. The revenue éutter Bear is hurrying northward to meet him and the Rush will grobably leave for the Bering before many days. Shortly after the Russian-Japanese war began the American Government under- took the protection of the sealing in- dustry in the north. Consequently it is up to the Federal authorities to stop the depredations of McLean. Moreover, Mec- Lean is now declared a pirate, who must be taken dead or alive, preferably dead. ‘While those who are accused of back- ing him are under the surveillance of the Federal authorities, McLean is on the Carmencita in quest of loot and excite- ment. He is laughing at law and Gov- ernments. Those who know him say he can well afford to laugh. Every time ne came here he told weird tales of blood and strife In northern seas to interested audiences in water front barrooms. In fair or unfair fight McLean could not be beat, according to shipping men here, and he is the sort of man to meet any ruse with a shrewder one. The seas that the seals inhabit are open book to him. The tales run that McLean was wont to raid a seal rookery in the Bering or loot a warehouse, then put about and run for some Japanese port. There he would tarry and with his crew of freebooters spemd riotous nights with the geishas and consume gallons of sake, Russian and Japanese gunboat, Ameri- can. revenue cutter—he defied them all. By ruse or bluff or open fight he has held the representative of the law at bay for vears. De Smidt is charged with having been with McLean on the Carmencita when he crept into the harbor at Copper Island in the fog and attempted to rob the rookeries. The natives opened fire on him and a bloody battle in the fog en- sued. McLean and his freebooters were finally driven off. . The Federal Government {s determined that this shall be McLean's last cruise. If he is captured alive McLean may be N0 MORE DELAY FIR POUNDNAN Gustave Scherf, Indicted for the Murder of Rudolph W.

James D. Phelan, president of the Association for the Adornment of San Francisco, | brought up the one of leading interest. He said that he had noticed that a brick apartment-house was in course of erection on the southeast corner of Fell and Franklin streets, which is in route of the proposed extension of | park panhandle as favored by | Architect Burnham, who is devising a | plan for the adornment and improve- | ment of San Francisco. | | | | the | If Mathias Johnson, the owner of the building, expends $75,000 on the struc- |ture, said Mr. Phelan, there will be $75,000 more for the city to invest when it buys the route from Van Ness ay . to Baker street. Mr. Phelan | 1id that he had also noticed a new | brick building inmediately back of the | one owned by Johnson. In his opinion | some organization of San Francisco ought to be concerned in mnotifying | | property owners that the park pan- handle extension is in view. The San Francisco Real Estate Board would | seem to be the proper body to take | the lead in the matter. | On motion of John T. Harmes it was voted to refer the matter to the direc- tors of the board, with instruction to | report at a special meeting. ?realdent Howell at once called the meeting for Wednesday of next week at 8 p. m. The other matter of importance to be considered was a report by a spe- | clal committee regarding a schedule of | uniform charges to be made on term leases of realty. Such schedule was favored by the committee. A discus- sion took place, in which the speaker: were President Howell and Messrs. Stern, Speck, Harmes and John C. Boardman. Several réasons were given | to show the necessity of the proposed schedule. One was that under existing conditions, when a controversy regard- |ing a lease gets into courts there is nothing to show a rule in reference to rates. Another was that much trouble is unnecessarily occasioned by “shop- | piug” in rates on leases, parties in in- | terest going from one brokerage of- | fice to another to find lower terms. It was also developed that the busi- ness of effecting leases has grown in | importance very greatly. The State | Legislature at its last session increased | the legal time limit for which leases may be made from twenty-five to fifty | years. This served to increase the| | Volume of business, many parties wish- | | ing to get long time leases who would | not be satisfied to erect costly improve- | ments for comparatively short periods. | After the subject had been thorough- | 1y discussed the board voted in favor of | a schedule of uniform rates. All real |esmte brokers in the city will be re- | quested to conspicuously post the rates agreed upon in their offices for the gen- eral information of the public. The | rates ane 234 per cent of the first year's | jrent and 1% per cent for each year | | thereafter. { ———————— | OBJECT TO HER ACCOUNT.—Henrietta F. | Edwards and August Hansmeler have filed ab. | section to the final account of Susan C.

The reso- lution also requests the Board of Su- | pervisors to pass a resolution instruct- ing the Auditor to keep intact the money appropriated for the purposes named so that it can be used for what | it was originally intended. The Board of Works blames the Su- | pervisors for delaying action, which will result in the transfer of the money | | set aside for the improvements to next | | year's unappropriated fund and render | it unavailable. The contract for building six addi- tional rooms on the Crocker Grammar School was awarded to Fred C. Jones for $23,953. Bids were ordered invited for the paving of Mission street, southeasterly to Porter avenue. The board appointed John F. H. Stahle a surveyor at $160 per month; ‘W. H.

At the recuest of President Poheim of the Board of Police Commissioners the twelve patrol wagon drivers off duty gathered in the Commissioners’ room yesterday morning. The presi- dent informed them that the board had no money to buy horses during the next fiscal year and warned them to be careful in thelr treatment of their ani- mals. He said he had seen some of them driving at a high speed when there was no occasion for it. He also wanted them to censider the matter of three substitute drivers with the ob- Ject of enabling them to earn more than $48 per month. The drivers asked that they be allowed the same vacation as the policemen, but the president said it was impossible. They also asked the privilege of riding free on street 'cars and the president promised to communicate with General Manager Double Value - Days Wemen's Vests 15¢ Girls’ White Agrons 19¢ BIG “DOUBLE VALUE” SALE —IN— Lawn Waists Summer weight, long sleeve vests, cream only.

Dr. A. C. Bothe, head of the bacterio- logical department, will at to-day’s meet- ing of the board submit a partial report, of his investigations in that connection. | It is stated by the health officlals that | certain compounds dispensea for the al- | leged cure of many ills will be driven from the market owing to their deleteri- ous composition as ascertained by Bothe upon his analysis. A nostrum which is advertised to kill all the germs and microbes to which hu- | man flesh is subject will be among the medicinal preparations reported against by Dr. Bothe. This nostrum is repre- | sented by the manufacturers as being composed of ingredients which, in com- bined state, are sure death to the ba- cilli which are sald by medical experts to cause all sorts of diseases. Bothe, in his report, will make the dec- laration that the nostrum mentioned con- tains sulphuric acid which, while also re- garded as a destroyer of germs, is not to be allowed by the health officials to en- Bothe's report will be the initial step | toward insuring the sale of pure drugs | the requirement that | any drug shall not be sold under misrep- resentation.
