AD TO THE AILING POOR AT HOME. + Rehabilitators Plan a New Department of Special Relief Work NURSES ON CALL The rehablilitation committee at yesterday's meeting adopted a plan of handling special relief work, out- side of the permanent camp. The scheme was set forth in a report pre- pared by Edward P. Bicknell, and af- ter making a few minor changes was adopted by the committee. As a result of this action there will be appointed. a superintendent of speclal relief, with headquarters at the central office of the rehabilitation com- mittee. He will be assisted by a staff of visiting nurses and investigators who will answer all emergency calls, make the necessary investigations and report daily to headquarters the needs of the persons visited. The work of the nurses will be confined to re- sponding to calls of applicants for special diet or medical attention. Orders for the issuance of a special diet in any form will be given by the superintendent, on the reports and rec- ommendations of the nurses. In addition a staff of volunteer physiclans in different parts of the city will be organized to give medical cara to refugees found by the visiting nurses to require such attention. The nurses will have authority to call upon the most accessable physicians in any case of {llness without first reporting to the superintendent at heBdquarters. The expense of maintaining this sys- tem for administration alone is roughly estimated as follows: Superintendent of special relief, $150 per month; one stenographer, $75 per month; two clerks at $60, $120 per month; Three nurses at $60, $180 per month; Three investigators at $60, $180 per month; postage, stationery, blanks, etc., $75 per month; car fare, $100; in- cidentals, $50 per month; total $925. Mr. Bicknell has suggested an ap- propriation of $2000 for the first month with which to meet the expenses out- side of those necessary to adminis- tration. This organization and that of the rehabilitation committee now in the field it is proposed shall work in in- timate co-operation. The records al- ready made of applications for help will be available for the special relief organization, and the section offices al- ready maintained are to be used, so far as necessary, as local headquarters for the visiting nurses.

PRINARY POLITCS IN THE DEBRLS Ruef Colonizes in the Ruins and Schemes a Plan . of Vengeance FISK’'S NEW ROLE BY T. B. SULLIVAN. The primary election which will take place next Tuesday in this city offers in very few of the Assembly districts even the suggestion of excitement. On the Republican side Ruef and Herrin will win without contest in all but five or perhaps six ot the districts. They have their forces thoroughly organized and may dispose them in the contested lo- calities as they please. Even in the districts where a fight is on, except in the Thirty-ninth District, the rivalry is of small concern. In the great burnt zone of the city the condition of affairs is ludicrous. Stuffing and colonizing there have been notorious, and even the small registra- tion, that speaks habitation among leaning walls, threatening chimneys and debris, represents a residence simply for political purposes. A few men are living in tents and bunkhouses for pur- poses only of primary politics, and Ruef has taken excellent care that the colo- nization is for his benefit. The political organization of the State 18 superior even to earthquake and fire and the destroyed area of San Francisco must have its political representation in the Legislature and elsewhere. Ruef and Herrin have seen to it that their sense of political morality is not shock- ed by the personnel of men who, from the debris of the city, must have a share in the nomination of Governors and United States Senators. ‘WAR IN RUEF'S CAMP. In the Thirty-ninth District the fight is for blood. It presents a pretty fam- 1ly row among the Ruet followers and appears to involve several side issues that are supposed not to be matters of public interest. In this district the Ruef administration has decided to down Frank Maestrett!, who has been considered in times of peace and of war and of graft and scandal the very center of the Schmitz regime. It is given out that because Maes- trett! would not honor Jack MecGlynn, a friend of Senator George Keane, the hair of the Works Board man must fly and Keane has invaded the Thirty- ninth District to turn the trick. The reason so artlessly given is not the true one. Keane is acting on instructions from headquarters, now located over a French restaurant on Bush and Fill- more streets. Since the earthquake the 'administra- tior has been looking for better repre- sertatives before the public. Fricnds of the local regime are kind enough to indicate that it can’t dlsmiss any- body and appoint somebody else with- out working a distinct improvement. ‘With such a chance as that to win pop- ularity the game should be easy. Before the shakeup Maestretti was supposed to do the raw work of the administration, but his work became 80 raw that Keane has been delegated to cook him. All the forces in the dis- trict that were Maestrettl’s strength are now Keane's. The Police Depart- ment, the Fire Department, the Alms- house, that never goes begging for voters, are now behind Keane, and the horizon looks dark for Maestrettl. WHEELAN AN ALLY OF KEANE. Allied with Keane is Fairfax Whee- lan, most unusual of political combi- nations. But it {s not because the de- cent element of the district likes Keane better, but because it detests Maestretti more that the alliance is made. It looks like an early funeral for Maestrettl. The fight in this district involves also the Twenty-second Senatorial Dis- trict, which is formed of the Thirty- ninth and Fortieth assembly districts. Thomas E. Atkinson, Speaker of the Assembly, s Maestretti's candidate for State Senator. He looks upon the sit- uation with some concera. In the other districts where Ruef's premacy is contested the quarrels are not serious. In the Thirty-sccond Dis- trict the brothers Welch will fight the boss, but it is expectea that they will not go the limit. In the Thirty-fourth Senator French of unpleasant memory is feeking a vindication. In the Thirty- fifth John Daly wants to have some- LLing to say. In the Thirty-sixth Fred Eggers and Phil Crimmins are strug- gling for a stand. In the Thirty-sev- enth Postmaster Fisk {s striving to elect the delegation, but the issue In- volved is simply who will deliver the package to Herrin. The question of se- iecting a political messenger in an As- sembly District has not yet assumed proportions great enough to excite the publlc. In the Fortieth Dan Ryan has organized to defeat Jesse Marks and Henry Ach, with Ruef behind Marks and Ach. With these possibilities of dereat Ruef will carry to Santa Cruz the gentlemen who probably will cho our Governor, legislators and adminis- trutors of the laws. MERRILL FORCUES NOMINATE.

Justice of the Peace Gol- den Hears Arguments in Ryan Test Suit MANY INTERESTED Arguments for and against the rebate of rent to those who paid in advance for April and found themselves burned out shortly after the middle of the month were heard before Justice of the Peace Isidore Golden yesterday. He took the case under advisement and the hun- dreds of renters in .an Francisco, many of whom have already commenced suit, will await with interest the decision. It is understood that, no matter what the decision may be, the case will be appealed to the Superior Court and pos- sibly to the Supreme Court. Thousands of dollars are involved. As a usual thing, it i{s customary to pay rent in advance. The owners of buildings and houses have generally re- fused payment pending the action of the courts. In the particular case before the court yesterday J. W. Treadwell, as as- signee of William Ryan, is suing the Union Trust Company for $8. Ryan rented a cottage at 141 Hawthorne street and paid $20 rent in advance the 1st of April. He asked for a rebate of $8, but this was denied and a demurrer interposed to the complaint. Haller, Powers & Ehrman appeared for the defendant, the argument on its behalf being made by Sidney Ehrman. He contended that a contract of rental 1s for one term, that is for one month and not from day to day. Rent, he sald, could not be apportioned so that there can be any return. The attorney cited a case in the Fourth Wisconsin of Cress against Bu# tau. In this Instance the defendant rented certain premises of the plaintiff. On the very day that Battau was to take possession the building was burned. He had not paid his rent, but Cross brought suit and the court held that it must be paid. Edward F. Treadwell submitted lhe‘ case on behalf of the rentor and made | a strong argument in behalf of him and | the hundreds of others who feel they have been mulcted by non-payment of | rent rebates. He said that where the lease was only of the bullding and not of the land its destruction operated to| destroy the tenancy. “The consideratio: said Treadwell, “for the payment of the money was the full term. Where the building was de- stroyed the consideration fafled and it is a general rule of law that for failure of consideration there can be recovery of the money.” A decision is expected In a few days. —_— e BRADEN IS HONORED BY 1 ASSOCIATES OF YEARS Advertising Manager of Southern Pa- cific Recelves Handsome Gift From Fellow Employes on Leaving. H. R. Braden ceased service yesterday as manager of the advertising bureau of the Southern Pacific Company and today will enter the general advertis- ing fleld, associated with C. N. Bolte, who for years was general superin- tendent of the Sunset Press. Before leaving the offices of the Southern Pa- cific last evening Mr. Braden was pre- sented with a handsome desk, the gift of his associates for years. On behalf of the donors, C. S. Alken made the presentation speech, dwelling on Mr. Braden's achievements on be- half of the company and pointing to the fact that from an office devoted to the work of preparing and publishing time tables Mr. Braden had developed the bureau of which he was the head into one of the best equipped railroad adver- tising bureaus in the country and a department of general information co- operating with every other branch of the great Southern Pacific system. In response, Mr. Braden sald he great- ly regretted departing from among those with whom he had long been so intimately associated, but that an op- portunity he could not afford to pass was at hand. Mr. Braden, with his wife, came to this country from England in 1888, and for a year engaged in ranching at Riv- erside. He entered the service of the Santa Fe in Los Angeles with General Passenger Agent Hynes and entered the service of the fouthern Pacific in this city in 1891 as secretary to General Passenger Agent Horsburgh. He was finally placed in charge of the advertis. ing bureau. Answering the call of op- portunity, he will now devote his entire attention to his own interests. SICK HEADAGHE SULLPL SWAL ISE.

SYDNEY, AUCKLAND, SAMOA, HONO- MRS. HOLLENQUIST WANTS DIVORGE. OAKLAND, Aug. Hollenquist ys she stood her hus- band’s abuse for many years, but when he threatened her with a revol- ver and a knife, she decided that the safer and better course would be to sue for a divorce. She filed a suit to- day for divorce from Charles O. Hol- lenquist on the ground of extreme cruelty. It was in 1883 that the Hollenquists were married at St. Petersburg, Rus- sia. They were happy for many vears and six children were the result of the uynion. But finally the husband grew tired of their married fot and began abusing his wife and children. When he threatened to kill her, Mrs. Hollen- quist left him, and today she sued for divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. Mrs. Hollenquist asks for a divorce, $60 a month alimony and the custody of the six children. H. Hollenquist is a coppersmith. Mgs. Hollenquist and her children live in Berkeley. 8.—Mrs. Martha COPENHAGEN, Ang.
