IVE'R‘ REFUSE SUBSTITUTES. foeaR oot DUNFOR ROOM RENT CAU A BREAGH IN R ENDSHI Business Is 'Cold and— Unsympathetic Even in Days the Fire War BY JAMES C, By applying for -the arrest of Mrs. Probst, with whom she dwelt as a lodger at 626 Golden Gate avenue during the re- | cent turbulence, Mrs. C. J. Mulkey routed | a sweet illusion from the mind of Police | Judge Mogan | “Am 1 to understand,” he sorrawfully | inquired, “that you and this person whom | you now accuse of battery were close to- | gether and equally menaced while the | quaked and blazed”” { “Yes, I do,” replied Mrs. Mulkey, petite and palpably possessed of wire-edged nerves ““And that the danger and dread through which vou mutually passed did not tend to. bring you still closer :together in | she started the trouble,” was the snappily delivered response. ‘What right did she have to dun me for rent hen she knew she would get it just as soon as my husband. employed at Oak- nd by the Stamdard Oil Company, could w his salary and ceme over here?” “Maybe she needed the money,” his Honor ventured | “Well, even if she did, that was no reason why she should say I wasn't a nice woman. “Ne. it wasn't. But dfdn’t you say or do something to provoke that statement?” “Certainly not. I'm too much of a lady to start a fight with any one. The little T did say to her in anger was uttered after ver entertained bums in roy le'my husband was absent Then she jumped at me and twisted my of joint and it has been asleep € After that she locked the of my. rooms and I couldn’t get in | husband came and paid the money. | blame me for wanting to get her arrested?” not for me to blame, but to re- aid the court; “for I had fondly— but foolishly, it now seems—cherished a survivors of. the catastrophe would be bound by a tie of friendship that 10 ordina could sever. And even | uggest that you reconsider nation to _prosecute this | waman with whom you stood side by side, dreadful experi- her the olive branch tead of the mailed hand.” “Well, if I don’t get the warrant my will be broken up,” said Mrs. Mul- r m son said this morning that ve in the house with me until ad the law on that woman.” to avert an even more distress- ention I suppose it is best to com- | your demand, ighed the Judge, issued an order for the desired | fam he warrant d .. James McGrath, accused of drupken- ess, asked Judge Conlan what he would fdo if an old friend whom he had not seen since before the quake and had come to regard as forever gone, were to meet him | the street, draw a bottle of whisky | from his pocket and invite. him to cele- | brate the reunion by drinking theréefrom. | His Honor sidestepped the query by in- | ring if that was how Mr, McGrath ac- d bis inebriety. | stepped up to me I was so glad to find him alive—for I had heard he was Kkilled— | that I took the bottle from his hand and | swallowed a swig of the cantents without thinking that I hadn’t tasted whisky for i ;3 | “One was enough to do the business for me. Haven't I just saidiit was the first T had tasted for five years?” ‘If you promise that you won't" take | her swig for ten years I'll let you go. ou-may make it twenty years if you | like,” was Mr. McGrath’s generous offer. | But he accepted the ten and went forth. | o o Long-time friends and fellow-victims of } the great disaster, - Charles J. Tucker, | house painter, now of 1818 Lyon street, | and Charles W. Lenz, brewer, whose ores- | | ent abode is at Geary and Baker strests, | found themselves with & surplus of ma- | terial possessions which they could dis- | pense and lacking other things which they | | could not live comfortably without. So | {they decided to compare. their stores of {necessaries and “swap” such articles as would contribute to their mutual con- venience. Mr. Tucker was long on bedding and short on wearing apparel, while Mr. Lenz was equipped vice versa, and-it was agreed that those two commadities should be equalized between them. But after he g0t his ratio of the attire Mr. Tucker is alleged to have “welched” on delivery of its equivalent in bed coverings, and ‘when | Mr. Lenz complained thereat Mr. Tucker | not only demanded more raiment, but tried to enforce said demand at pistol point. That is how he comes to be ac- cused of committing an assault with a deadly . weapon. Judge Mogan will give the case an in- ning next Friday. s “If the bottle had contained whisky, 1| would ‘send. you to the brick pile,” said | Judge Shortall to Walter McAllister, “but | as its contents was-milk, and the offense was your first, I'll let you go -with the customary warning.” Mr. McAllister, who dwells under can- vas -at the water front, pleaded that when he saw the bottls.of milk he thought | it was astray, inasmuch as it stood upon the .doorstep of a house which was_ten- antless. Frank Brown, a teamster, said he really | lost money by hauling H. S. Griffin's | trunk beyond the danger.line while the i big fire raged, because he undertook to do the job for $10 when bids of $50 to $100 gnr similar service were flying thick and | ast. “But I had given my word,” said Mr. | Griffin, ““and I stuck to it until the trunk | was' deposited in a cemetery, where the flames could not reach it. Then I -went to Tescue more. stuff for other people, and when I returned to the cemetery I found the trunk breken open and this man de- claring that it had been plundered and | that he would not pay -me because I had not taken care of it."” | Mr. Griffin, a’'sad-faced young mat, had |instituted search-warrant procedure for recovery of the trunk from Mr. Brown, who refused to give it up until he was paid $10, and Judge Mogan opined that the | charge .was reasonable, considering the |time and circumstances under which the | transfer of the trunk was effected. “For |if your trunk had not been reomved it | would have ‘heen ‘destroyed by fire,” said his honog, “‘and then you more than the amount | pay.” I should say so,” Mr. | “for the stuff that would have lost You now decline to Griffin conceded, was stolen fro; trtliz'nk“l!.hrov.llgh this man’s failure l;nh::: after safety, could not be for ten times ten doilars."” S “‘How ‘much d6 -you -think he is en- titled to?” the court inquired. . “'Oh, about $2,” replied Mr. Griffin. “1 believe he is entitled to all he de- mands,” was the rejoinder, | "So do L” Mr. Brown put in, “but fo 4 { ow * was the reply. “When my friend | of Calamity. Fellow Sufferers Through Quake and Over a Bill CRAWFORD. prevent further discussion I'll take $7.50 and call it square.” Mr. Griffin paid the money with undis- guised reluctance. .« . Mrs. Olive Politz, a mother of four, told Judge Mogan that she attributed all previous batterings of herself by Mr. Politz to alcoholic inspiration, but the one she received at his hands last -Sun- day evening disillusioned her, becausk he could not poseibly have drunk anything more ardent than relief coffee for many days preceding the occurrence. “And that’s what makes his conduct so bad,” she added. *“So long as I thought he had been drinking I didn’t so much mind his beating me, but to be thumped by him when I knew he was perfectly sober was more than I could stand.” The Politz family ‘dwell in a tent at Market and Fillmore streets, and when Mr. Politz was so absent-minded as to beat his better half when he was under- going a season of enforced sobriety the soldiers took him in charge and held him in bondage while she obtained a warrant for his arrest by a policeman. He was a candymaker and she was a laundress when they were deprived of all their worldly belongings by fire. ““The worst of it is,”” she told the Judge, “that I now believe he was sober more than half of the times that he beat me before the earthquake happened.” She did mot desire to have him im- prisoned, as he has been ill since going into camp, but she would like to have him restricted in some way from beating her again while the saloons are closed and intoxicating liquor is difficult to ob- tain even by folk who have money to pay for it. The Judge promised to ac- commodate her and set for today the hearing of Mr. Politz's defense, if he has any to offer. WILL REMAN IN THE Ty San Francisco Stock Ex- change Resumes Its Sessions. The San Francisco Stock Exchange, like every other local interest of importance, is going to stay here. New York wanted the men who handle the Tonopah and Nevada mining stocks to locate there, and Salt Lake also offered inducements if the brokers would forsake San Fraficisco for the Utah city. With thanks, however, all offers were declined and yesterday morn- ing the San Francisco Stock Exchange held its first meeting since the fire. The meeting place was the main floor of the Merchants' Exchange, where the members will hold their daily sessions un- til they once more have & home of their wn. President Ruggles is very enthusiastic over the decision of the members of the | exchange to stay with the city that the | stocks they handle helped to make fa-| mous. “It was through the mines that San Francisco first became a financial cen- | ter,” he said yesterday after the meeting, | “‘and the members of the San Franclsvo‘ Stock Exchange should be the last to | forsake the city by the Golden Gate. San | Francisco needs all the help she can get. The more her own people can do the bet- ter. The San Francisco Stock Exchange Is here to stay, first because the city needs us, and second because. we believe that as a center ‘of commercial activity San Francisco will be of greater impor- tance than ever.” S e Rents paid for month of April refunded.

Denicke now stands charged with the crime of murder, the complaint having been sworn to before Police Judge Shortall yesterday morning by Theadore C. Relchert, the teamster who examined the body of the dead man at Lombard street wharf on the night of April 20 and saw three bullet wounds. The defendant was arrested on the warrant and taken to the Stanyan-street station. After being booked he was released on_bonds of $50,000, accepted by Judge Shortall, the sureties being E. A. Denicke, his fatner, and Hen- ry Brunner, 2200 Green street, both quali- fying on property valued at $325,000. ‘When the case was called in Judge Shortall's court yesterday morning on the charge of, manslaughter there appeared for the defendant Attorneys .-ve Ruef, E. B. Young and F. A. Denicke. Assistant District Attorney Louls Ward, in address- ing the court said that a complaint was now on file charging the defendant with murder and he asked that the warrant be served upon him and the charge of man- slaughter dismissed. The Judge made tbe order and said he understood an application would be made to release the ' defendant.on bail. He would abide by the judgment of the Dis- trict -..torney in the matter. % MAKES PLEA FOR BAIL. Attorney Ruef asked that the defendant be released on bail in such amount as ‘might be deemed necessary on the grounds that the defendant at the time was acting in the exercise of what he conceived to be his duty as a special of- ficer and a member of the special guard sworn to protect the lives and property of the citizens; because the complaint was sworn to by an individual who knew nothing of the facts of the case and did not see the -alleged crime committed, and because the body of the man alleged to have been killed had not yet been found and it might be a long time yet before the corpus delicti was established. On these grounds and in view of the fact that there was no proper place for the detention of offenders he thought the defendant should be admitted to bail. He had consulted the District Attorney and his assistant. Louis Ward, and both had stated in substance that all they desired was to secure the attendance of the de- fendant in court and he would assure the court that the defendant would be there at all times. ‘Ward said he would like counsel for the defendant to consent to the preliminary hearing on the murder charge to com- mence as soon as possible. Then the mat- ter of bail could be arranged. He sug- gested Thursday. Ruef wanted a postponement till Mon- day, but finally agree@ to Thursday. BODY MAY BE FOUND. ‘Ward said that the detectives working on the case thought they could locate the | body, as they had been informed that some people could point out .the exact spot where it was thrown into the bay. Without the body there might be some difficulty in proving the corpus delict, but the Assistant District Atforney thought he was in a position to prove it. In all thé circumstances he would suggest that the bonds be $50,000. The Judge said the case would have to take the regular course of procedure. The defendant would be arrésted on the war- rant and appear in court this morning, when he would be arraigned and the pre- liminary hearing continued till Thursday. The defendant would be admitted to bail in_$50,000, or $25,000 cash. Regarding the statement made by Ward as to the possibility of locating the body, he says that Nick Gali, a fisherman, told the detectives working on the case that he knew some people who saw marines throw a body into the bay from Filbert- street wharf an. it might have been the body of the man shot and killed by Denicke. There is a possibility, however, that it might have been the body of the woman referred to by Reichert in his | statement to the District Attorney on Sat- | urday. The bay will be dragged at the| point indicated without delay. o Weak, Weary, Watery Eyes, Red, Inflamed and Itching Eyelds, Soothed and Quickly Cured by Murine Eye Rem- edy, at Druggists’, 50c. o MEADE POST WILL GATHER AT ODD FELLOWS' CEMETERY Will Decorate Graves of Departed Veterans in Conjunction ‘With Other Organizations.

OLOFIRE ~LIMITS 1D - HEMAIN Supervisors Heed Appeal of Clamorous Owners (f Property. Vigorous - Addresses Are . Made in Opposition to Extension. Exciting Colloquy' as to} Honesty of Members of the Board. The present fire limits ordinance shall stand as it is. Such was the verdict of the Board of Supervisors at its meeting yesterday afternoon. The only provision attached tHereto was that planing mills and other like dangerous industries be Noused in fireproof structures. - The subject of the extension of the fire limits ordinance was taken up-as a spe- cial order of business at the behest of the property ownefs of this city. who ap- peared in force to support their represent- ative, Garret W. McEnerney. In their be- half Mr. McEnerney addressed the board, in part, as follows:- “In behalf of the people whom T repre- sent, I wish to call to your attention, gen- tiemen, the terrible, if involuntary, injus-| tice you will cause if you pass the pro- posed fire limits ordinance. “Do you wish to make San Francisco a city of factories and commercial houses? Is not the present commercial district large enough?- At the present time our people are scattered. throughout the bay counties, in Alameda, Marin, Sonoma and the others. Why? Because they have no homes. “Now, gentlemen, I leave it to your sense of justice. Can you pass the pro- posed fire limits ordinance when it means the - confiscation " of the people's very homes? You say that this property is valuable. .If that is so, why should they not profit by its value? If they do not care to sell, why should you Zentlemen raise a club and say they must sell? That is practically what u will say if you extend the fire limit: McEnerney's address was interrupted at various {ntervals by tumultuous applause from the hundreds of property owners who. thronged the hall. Upon being called to the floor by cries from the assembled owners, Father Mul- ligan delivered a short address that made the lawmakers of San Francisco sit up and stare. He said, in part: $ “Gentlemen, the passage of the new fire limits ordinance will work untold hai ships upon our people, therefore we have appeared before you to beg,. to ask, ave, to demand of you that the fire limits re- main as they are.” At this point the ap- plause and excitement became. so gréat that it took several minutes to restore order. Following Father Mulligan Father Rog- ers was called to the floor. Scarcely had he opened his address before Supervisor Rea arose and asked him whether he had made the statement at the property owners' meeting on Sunday that he did not believe that they knew that the eighteen men they had elected to guard their rights could be so false to their trust as to sell their interests to land sharks and insurance agencies. Father Rogers in reply to this said: “‘Gentlemen, this matter is a political fight and I do not think it is fitting to make my cloth a ouffer between the fac- tions.” Here he turned to the chair in mute appeal. In response, Mayor Schmitz arose and |- said: “Gentlemen, I think it would be wise to eliminate the past from this mat- ter. Father Rogers,”” he continued, “I would like to ask you, have you confi- dence in the honesty of the Board of Su- pervisors?” . “I believe,” replied the father, “that this proposed extension is the work of capital- ists and insurance companies.” “You are evading,” interrupted the Mayor. “I can but ‘believe,” continued Father Rogers, “that they will prove honest. The outcome of this matter will prove, how- ever.” Mayor Schmitz stated that he did not believe it was.time to extend the limits and suggested that they stand as they are. A motion to ‘that effect was then carried. The subject of the building ordinance will be taken up by the board at its ses- sion today. The board declared the office of gas and water inspector, -formerly held by O. M. Tupper, vacant. Stephen A. Burns was appointed to fill the vacancy. —_—— CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 28.—Ac- cording to brewery agents, 600 sa- loons closed today through inability to pay the-$1,000 tax demanded by the new Aiken law.
