BERKELEY, April 80.—Mrs. Hon- ora Bentley, an aged woman, who is reputed to be very wealthy, although |living in" squalor in West Berkeley, | was detected by Chief of Police Voll- mer to-day in the act of supplies from the Y.- M. C. A. head- quarters, wheré refugees have been | given food and clothing -since the day of the earthquake and fire. She was taken into custody and charged with | obtaining goods under falss pretenses. When brought before Justice Hdgar he ordered her held in $1000 bail and she was committed to the County | Jall. Honora Bentley gained notorlety through her connection with Attorney David Mitchell, convicted recently in Oakland of a fefény, upon charges made by little girls. Mitchell had been attorney for Mrs. Bentley and she accused him of having defrauded her out of valuables and property worth about $10,000. She first became known to the public when James | Fitzpatrick, an aged man who lived In her home, declared that he was her | contract husband, and as such was ‘[enutled to the control of her property, | estimated to be ‘worth many thou- | sands of dollars. Fitzpatrick was re- pudiated by the woman, and the Hti- .Kudon that followed formed a pictur- esque chapter in the history of court | proceedings in Oakland. Mrs. Bent- ley lived in apparent poverty on Ninth | street, in West Berkeley, none of her | neighbors suspecting that she was | possessed of wealth until the court | proceedings revealed the faots. the excavation for | H.

The fund at the disposal Board of Public Works for emergency | purposes is exhausted. This means | that hundreds of men who have been | employed clearing the streets and in- specting chimneys must be dismissed unless some way ean be devised to | raise funds to pay them. It has been suggested to the Board of Supervisors that it forthwith draft an ordinance taxing each householder | ‘a specific charge for street clearage. But, it is pointed out, a week must elapse before an ordinance can be finally passed authorizing the plan out- lined. In the meantime it is quite probable that there will be a cessation of need- ed work, but at the moment there iseems 10 be no way to avoid delay. This question, however, will be fully considered by tHe Board of Works and the Supervisors today.

Andrea Sbarboro Says That Loss May Be Conservatively Fixed at | $3,500,000. Andrea Sbarboro of the Italian-Swiss Colony at Asti, estimates that at least 112,000,000 gallons of California wine | were destroyed by fire in this city and at a low figure, the value lost amounts to $3,500,000. The large establishments of the California Wine Association, the Gundlach, Bandschu Wine Company and |of the Schilling Company, all went up ;in the flames. The loss to the wine men |is therefore very much larger than is represented by the destruction of the |wine. The buildings and plants with their equipments represented not less | than $2,000,000 more, according to a | rough estimato. | The plant of the Italian-Swiss Colony ,on Broadway, in this city, Mr. Sharboro reports to be intact. In the basement {of the building is a running spring and | this provided sufficient water to use in saving the Colony’s San Francisco | structure and stored wines and‘was ;slsa of benefit to the fire department (and the surrounding neighborhood. | Major Devol helped to save the Asti ! wines by having a stream played on the wine plant from the Slocum. ———— | Wife and Four Children Located. | The wife and four children of Wil- {liam Thiel are at 510 “Wignes street, | \Lecs Angzeles.
