Mrs. Anneite Hartzell, a young milliner in the Emma Spreckels building, after fighting some time against business reverses, catastrophe when arrested yesterday on the charge of obtaining money by false pretemses. She says that she is the victim of a comspiracy to take her establishment away from her.

Right in the midst of this merry season of spring, when out of its win- ter cocoon all femininity is flutter- ing with new, delicious absurdities upon its head and milliners’ hearts throb with content, young Mrs. Annette Hart- zell, who keeps a chic little hat store in the Emma Spreckels bullding, has come to saddest grief. She was arrest- ed yesterday afternoon by Detectives Tom Gibson and Balley upon charges of obtaining money Dby {false pre- tenses. The complaint is sworn to by John A. Murphy; local agent for Edson, Keith & Co. of Chicago. The firm deals with these baubles of straw, feather and ribbon which women delight to put on their heads. The complaint charges that Mrs. Hartzell, in September, 1904, ordered millinery to the amount of $533.42 in the uame of the firm of “Rumple & Hartzell,” 241 Geary street. It alleges that Mrs. Hartzell was at the time not a partner of Mrs. Rumple, and that when the latter refused the goods the former took them from the Wells- Fargo office and transferred them to her own little store at 923 Market street. As to the truth of this complaint, however, there seems to be a great va- riety of opimion. Mrs..Hartzell herself brands it as the last move in a con- gpiracy entere dinto against her by Murphy and Mrs. Edna C. Brown, her partner in her last millinery venture, to get the business out of her hands and pass it on ‘to Murphy's “sweet- heart.” SAYS SHE IS INNOCENT. ‘When Mrs. Hartzell was seen at the City Prison she had just been photo- graphed by the police-and the ignominy of the proceedings had left traces -of thing. The charge Is false. happened: In 1904 I was contemplating going into part- nership with Mre. Rumple in a millinery store at 241 Geary street. Thinking the thing arranged, I ordered goods to the amount of 8833 from Edson, Kelth & Co. of Chicago, in whose vmploy 1 had been for six years. Mean- while my project fell through, and when the 800ds arrived 1 was not Mrs. Rumple's part- ner. 1 wrote immediately to the firm, telling them of the situation and asking them to wire me whether I should send the goods back or keep them on my own account, The letter was not answered, and, interpreting this as cohsent, I took the goods and used them in the establishment I was starting at 923 Market strect in partnership with Mrs. Brown. A little later the firm accepted my notes, and I have been paying them off little by MNttle.. Everything was lovely until Murphy began to work on Mrs. Brown. She sued me to dissolve partnership. and now he brings this trumped- up charge. I've worked since I was 18 in the employment of millinery concerns. It was my dream to have a place of my own and 1 had almost eucceeded. I had a nice little store, | business was good and now everything is gone end I'm here In this terrible place. ATTORNEY IS INDIGNANT. Here Mrs. Jlartzell was overcome with the picture of her shattered ideals and, bowing her head, she shed a few discreet tears. Randolph V. Whiting, her attorney, came in at this juncture, and he gave his view with an indigna- tion that was more than professional. “It's an outrage,” he said. “There was not the vestigc of criminal intent in the way she took the goods. The yery fact that the firm accepted her note showed that the ‘transaction was regu- lar. It was just-a mean, -despicable maneuver to hurry her payments.” But Attorney Harry C. Schaerzer, who represents John ‘A..Murphy in the case, takes an altogether different view. “She is a cool, shrewd, crooked woman,” he sald. “She never did@ write to the firm about the goods, but merely took them under false pretenses.” Although pre- vented by professional etiquette from saying any more, Schaerzer hinted that other people here had been deceived by the young milliner. Mrs. Edna C. Brown, who is suing Mrs. Hartzell for dissolution of part- nership, is the wife. of a prominent banker of Calistoga and.furnished the capital for the venture. One of her af- fidavits in this suit ‘recites that Mrs. Hartzell has misappropriated the part- nership funds.to her own pyrposes. The store at 923 Market st¥eet occu~ pies a sel position in the Emma Spreckels building, next to the Zinkand Here s what tears upon her cheeks, She is.a come- ly young woman, with large gray eyes that are opalescent and can probably bewitch. She sald: e This is merely one of the acts of a con- epiracy entered into by John A.-Murphy and my partner, Mrs. Brown, to take my business away from me and give it to his sweetheart. Mrs. Brown has been sulng me for dissolution of partnership. Now Murphy brings up this Magnetic Specialist cafe. It is a suniptuous little affair, In great, shiny hrass letters the firm name “Madame Annette” spreads across the . whole front above and below the plate glass ‘windows. The carpets are thick, the mirrors spacious and the comfort- able chairs are of mahogany. In the window, impaled, upon long steel rods, stand some dozen.of the tragi-comic créations of 190¢ spring millinery. Mrs. Hartzell was admitted to bail fate in the afternoon, and in the even- ing was again in her apartments at the Buckingham. KICK OF A MULE CAUSES MAN'S DEATH Employe on Geyserville Farm Is Killed by Fractious Animal. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. SANTA ROSA, April 11.—News has been received here of the death of O. Bonossi at Geyserville from the kick of a mule. Ronossi was an employe of the Walker ranch, and while work- ing about the place on Monday met with the accident, which resulted in his death..

The inquest will be held 1906. ON ATE BILL Senatorial Orators Exhaust Their Arguments for or Against the Measure FINAL ACTION NEARING Date for the Roll-Call May Be Set Before the Close of the Present Week —_— ‘WASHINGTON, April 11.—In the Sen- ate today Aldrich expressed the opinion that the end of the general debate on the railroad rate bill would become ap- parent before the end of the present week and that then an agreement upon a day for a vote could be reached. The statement was made in response to a request by Tillman for such an agree- ment. It was announced that Spooner would reply tomorrow to Bailey's speech of yesterday. The session was almost entirely de- voted to the consideration of the con- ference report on the bill providing for the final settlement of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians and in connection with- that report there was a sharp controversy over an amend- ment inserted by the Senate which pro- vided for the ratification of the dis- bursements ‘'of $186,000 of the loyal Seminole fund made by Special Agent J. E. Jenkins and Administrator A. J. Brown. The debate turned upon the excep- tional fact that the House was insist- ing upon the retention of a Senate amendment from which the Senate was apparently anxious to recede. The de- bate was characterized by a number of spirited passages between Tillman on the one side and Teller and Clapp on the other. Tillman said that if the Secretary of the Interior had permitted himself to be duped in the matter of payment of the Indians he was not fit for the place. He corntended that suits for the re- covery of the money should be prose- cuted by the Government. “The question,” he 'sald, replying to Clapp, “is whether some lawyer has not come up here from Indian Territory and bamboozled the Government.” “If the Senator has been bamboozled it was when he was asleep at the switch and let the provision go through the Senate originally,” responded Clapp sharply. “If the Senator from South Carolina has been asleep at the switch,” said Tillman, just as pointedly, “it was when this bill was stolen from his commit- tee by your committee. The bill should have been considered by the committee on the five civilized tribes, of which I am chairman.” “That,” Clapp said in reply, “would have been a sorry spectacle.” Sefnal i A i SUING TO DEPRIVE HIMSELF OF A SON Aged John Vanderbilt De- nies the Legitimacy of His Heir. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, April 11.—Having ob- tained a divorce from his wife on statu- tory grounds, John Vanderbilt of Orange, N. J., has instituted proceedings in the New Jersey Court of Chancery to have his wife's son declared illegiti- mate. ‘Vanderbilt is nearly 80 years old and an invalid. Soon after his marriage to Mrs. J. J. Johnson of New Providence he went to a sanitarium. When he returned to his home his wife showed him a boy baby, saying the infant was born on October 20, 1903, and that his name was William God- frey Vanderbilt. The aged man was not convinced, as he retained a lawyer and private detectives. Their teports prompted him to institute divorce proceedings. Vice Chancellor Gar- rison listened to the evidence and award- ed to Vanderbilt a decree. In his decision, which was announced in February, Chan- cellor Garrison did not refer to the legiti- macy of the boy, and the aged petitioner to-day began suit to have the child de- clared illegitimate. Vanderbilt is one of four heirs to the estate of Susan Ann Hoagland and is dis- tantly related to the wealthy Vanderblits of New York. The child's mother will oppose the suit. ROCKEFELLER PLANS MILLION DOLLAR HOME Handsome Mansion Intended as a Gift to His Grandson. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, April 11.—It was learned at Pocantico Hills today that the object of John D. Rockefeller's flying visit made in the pouring rain Monday was to give instructfons regarding the work now ua- der way on plans for the erection of a $1,000,000 mansion, which it is sald he will build on the highest point on his estate.

No of- ficial information has been recelved on the subject. It was expected that the di- vision in the peace treaty of the respon- sibility for the policing of Manchuria for even a limited term between three nations would result in just such friction as has been reported. At a point on the railroad connecting the Siberian road with Port Arthur and Dalny a little distance below Harbin the Japanese troops are in charge of the line. Above that point the road is under the double protection of Russian and Chinese railroad guards. It is understood here that both the Rus- sians and Japanese are looking forward with apprehension to the time when they must evacuate Manchuria proper, and in each case there Is a strong desire to in- sure as large a holding as possible of the materfal resources of this rich country after the military forces are withdrawn. One way of accomplishing this has been to secure concessions for the exploitation of timber lands, of mines and agricultural lands and then to require the Chinese Governiment to recognize these holdings when they regain possession of the coun- try. “But~the Chimese Government has shown a surprising degree .of self-asser- tion and independence in dealing with these claims,-and it is believed the friction that is now said to have arisen in Man- churia results from the attempts being made to induce the Chinese to change their attitude.

SAN DIFGO, April 1v.—The effect of the election authorizing the opening of’ saloons in National City, a suburb of San Diego, has been to stir up Prohibitionists in this city. Last night raids were made upon . several alleged “soft drink’ outfits, the proprielors of four such places being arrested and thelr goods seized. A campaign to close all pool and Lil- liards rooms and bowling alleys at midmght was begun. CLERGY GATHER AT BALTINORE Will Assist in Celebrating the One Hundredth Anni- versary of the Cathedral SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL BALTIMORE, Md., April 11.—Five hundred Archbishops, Bishops and other prelates and heads of Catholic institu- tions and orders throughout the United States will attend the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the cathedral here on April 29 and 30. When the cathedral was built it stood among the green flelds of the village of Baltimore, but today its granite walls, as Cardinal Gibbons has said, stand as a Gibraltar of the church amid the storms of commercial strife. Hoary with age, the gold-plated dome and minarets of the mother church of Catholicism in the Western Hemisphere still holds its head high among the newer and bigger structures of the city, having deded all storms for a century. Cardinal Gibbons, in a recent sermon on the cathedral, sal Every stone of the bullding is sacred to me. It was in this church that I was regenerated n the waters of baptism at the hands of he venerable Dr. White. Under its shadow I was raised to priesthood.
