Police Board Gets Word That Owl Saloons and GamblingAreShielded | The Board of Police Commissioners | is contemplating a thorough investiga- tion of the charges that police protec tion is given gambling-houses, all- night salo and notorious red light resorts along Fillmore street and in | the Richmond District. The board has word that officers on the beat have re- existence of these eviis to th superiors, but that the reports | have gone astray in time to save the trouble of an investigation. It has been rumored that some one high in police circles is protecting these noto- us places, and before the investiga- tion is finished it is likely that every officer from Chief of Police Dinan down | will be called before the board and | made to explain his conduet. | Evidence is 2t hand showing that re- ports have been turned in to the Park police station to the effect that the s ns known as the Terminal, at Haight and Stanyan streets; Park View, ov by Heagerty, at Waller | and Stanyan streets; Tom's Cabin, owned by McNamara of Turtle fame; the M. and M., owned by Mitchell, at the ocean beach; the Casino, at Fif. teent} avenue and Fulton street;| Dicki at Sixth avenue and Fulton| street, and numerous others have been keeping later hours than the law al- lows. ! It is known that reports were filed | by patrolmen and sergeant time and | again during the past month and that| the reports were passed by Lieutenants | Lackman and Kelly to Captain Gleeson, | who is in direct charge of the district. | UP TO CHIEF DINAN. According to the natural course of events, these reports would be for- warded by Captain Gleason to Chief of Police Dinan. If this course was pur- sued Dinan has failed to bring the matter before the Police Commission. The same condition of affairs exists | in regard to reports filed in reference | to gambling houses which abound in Captain Mooney's district. Patrolmen | have filed reports on the existence of | these games, which have been running | full blast for some time past. At 1651 Fillmore street, on the second floor of a building, the ground floor of which is occupied by the “Second Class” sa- loon, is a notorious resort. This place is run by Lanagan & Peterson. It was raided last week, but the rald fallea signally, because it was tipped ofi ke- fore the arrival of a police sergeant | and four patrolmen who were detailed on the case.

District Attorney Langdon is waiting for the Police Commission to act. He believes that the closing up of such places is under the direct jurisdiction of the Police Department and the Po- lice Commission. He says, however, that after waliting a sufficient time for the police board to act he will take steps on his own account. He says also that he knows of the existence of gambling houses and has not acted so far merely because he was not de- | ap- gone | float the NETWILL IVESTIGHTE | cured an POPULAR ASSEMBLY FOR PERGIANG. Shah Relinquishes His Autocratic Power and Grants Constitution REJOICING PEOPLE WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—For the first time in her history Persia is to have a national assembly. This In- formation was conveyed to the Persian Minister here late today in a cable- gram from Mizra Nassrollah Khan Mochiredolet Sadreazame, the Grand Vizier and Minister for Forelgn Af- fairs, who stated that in view of the desire of his imperial Majesty the Shah for the extension of national tranquil- lity and for the welfare of Persia and all its inhabitants and in order to for- tify the Government, it had been de- cided to institute certain reforms and to provide a durable constitution for the country. The immediate organization of a national assembly for the realization of these reforms ‘was accordingly or- dered. According to theé dispatch the as- sembly will be composed of Princes of the blood, representatives of the clergy, chief of the reigning ‘dynasty, high dignitaries and personages, merchants and representatives of corporations. The assembly will meet at Teheran. It is provided that all civil and consti- tutional laws shall originate in the assembly and after the signature of the Shah will become effective. The cablegram concludes as follows: In order to thank his Imperial Ma- jesty for this happy initiative the peo- le were authorized to celebrate this 1appy_event by rejoicing, and this day was declared a national holiday for the people. The Persian Minister tonight ex- pressed his pleasure at the news and said urprise. A legation flag instantly was flown to the breeze. It was pointed out by the Minister that today's action, following within one week of the appolntment of the new Grand Vizier, was indicative of that official’s progressive ideas. i A0 Passengers Vessel Ashore. PONTA DELGADA, Aszore Islands, Aug. 10.—The Zotti line steamship | Brooklyn, from Marseilles August 4, for New York, with 330 immigrants on board, grounded while entering this port today. Efforts are being made to steamer. SECURELY TIED TO PREACHER HILL Evangelist's California Wife Fails to Sever Her Marriage Bonds OAKLAND, Aug. 10.—Judge Ellis- worth today refused to annul the mar- rlage of Mrs. Octavia Hill to the Rev. J. F. C. Hill, which was solemnized in San Jose a year ago. Hill was a party to a common law marriage in Michigan, and it was the purpose of his second wife's sult to determine whether she was legplly married to him. Judge Jllsworth decided that she was; that it was the presumption of law that the statutes of Michigan were the same as those of California, which do not rec- ognize common law marriages. Four years ago Hill, who is an evan- gelist and helongs to the Church of the Nazarene, and Miss Mary Ross entered into an agreement to live as husband and wife. About two years ago they came but Miss Ross returned st when she learned that common law marriages were not rec- ognized here. After her departure rill met Miss Octavia Coffey, and about a vear ago they went to San Jose and were married. Later Mrs. Octavia Hill learned of the contract marriage, and she sued to have ine second marriage annulled on the ground that her hus- band already had a wife from whom he had never been divorced. Judge Ellsworth's decision that Mrs. Hill No. 2 is the legal wife ot lue evan- gelist will probably result in the re- union of the couple. Hill is now con- ducting revival services in Los An- geles, and his second wife, since she learned of the contract marriage, has been living with her sister in West Oakland. Judge Ogden today granted an Inter- locutory decree of divorce to Lorenzo D. Matthews from Lizzie E. Matthews on the ground of desertion. They were married ten years ago in San Fran- cisco. Alleging that her husband failed to provide for her and that he drank to excess, Hilda Marion Wilde today se- interlocutory decree or di- vorce from Richard Wilde. Judge Og- den granted her permission to resume | her maiden name of Flood. They were married in San Francisco in 1903 and separated last year. During their mar- ried life, the wife says, her husband worked only two months, The rest of the time, she declares, he spent ‘so- bering up.” .

While driving rivets In the paint locker on the Worden one of the hot | pieces of steel fell into a quantity of The | varnish, causing it to explode. force of the explosion was so great that Robert White and Willlam H, Wilson, who were driving the rivets, were blown through the opening lead- ing to the paint locker and landed on deck.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 10.—A mysterious and good looking young woman has| suddenly put a new twist in the Hartje divorce: case by appearing and an- nouncing herself to be Mrs. Augustus Hartje No. 2. She appeared at police headquarters yesterday and asked to| see the superintendent. Superintendent McQuade was called, and to him she stated that she had been lawfully mar- ried to Hartje ten years ago. She did not know at that time that he had an- other wife living. Superintendent McQuade sent her to the office of Hartje's attorneys in charge of a detective. A hastily called con- ference was held. All of Hartje's at- torneys, including his brother, Edward G. Hartje, were present. So was Hartje. What transpired no one knows, but every effort was made to keep the story quiet. Today Hartje's lawyers, in reply t» questions concerning it, became in- digrant and declared the woman was demented. FINDS SWEETHEART ABOUT TO WED. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 10.—Cap- tain Charles E. Huggins of the United States Signal Corps appeared here yes- terday after an absence of five years, just in time to find that his old sweet- heart, Miss Bessie Thompson, was to be married in a few hours to W. H. Connette. She immediately telephoned to Connette that she would not marry him. Instead, she will wed Captain Huggins. Belleving that the young woman was not serious in her announcement, Con- nette obtained a lcenge and informed his sweetheart of the fact shortly| after noon, less than three hours before | the ceremony was to have taken place. | The young woman was steadfast in her determination to break the engagement and the word “void” was written in large letters upon the pgge of the mar- riage book at the courthouse. It seems that a lovers' quarrel sepa- rated Huggins and Miss Thompson sey- | eral years ago. Huggins enlisted in| the navy as an apprentice and was as- signed to service in northwestern wa- ters. Absence made the heart grow fonder and a correspondence soon be- | gan. Miss Thompson admits that she wrote the first letter, After many ex- changes of tender missives the cor- respondence suddenly lagged and at this stage of Cupid's intricate game Connette appeared on the scene. Then began the conflict in the young wo- man’s heart. She finally became en- gaged to Connette, but the wedding was postponed from time to time and then set definitely for last night. | Miss Thompson will become the bride of Captain Huggins next week. MAS. COREY TAKES LEAVE OF RENO. RENO, Nev, Aug. 10,—Mrs. William Ellis Corey, who recently obtained a divorce from ler husband, left for Pa- cific Coast points this morning to spend several weeks. She was accompanied by her gon Allan, and tomorrow her sister- in-law, Miss Addie Corey, will join her. They will return to Pittsburg about September 1, where they will probably reside. The departure of the Coreys is interesting in view of their statements upon the witness stand during the divorce trial that Reno was to be thelr 'permanent residence. Mrs. L. B. Corey, the former wife of Willlam E. Corey, the steel magnate, acgompanied by her son, Alan Corey, arrived from Reno, Nev., last night and are at the St. Francis. They came in on a belated train and had wired ahead to have a carrlage awaiting them at the ferry. When they came in no conveyance, however, was there to receive them, so they came up In a car as far as the James Flood building, and from there, pack- ing two heavy dress sult cases, um- brellas, sticks and coats, th8y tramped up through the ruins of Powell street to the St. Francls. DR. WALK DIES IN TEXAS AFTER SHORT ILLNESS SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. ALLAS, Tex, Aug. 10.—Dr. George Edward Walk, dean of St. Matthew's mpiscopal Church, died this morning of acute pan- creatis, after an illness of one week. Dr. Walk was formerly rector of St. Andrew’s Mission at Oakland, Cal, and for seven years rector of Trinity Church, San Francisco. He afterward| served as reCtor of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Council Blus Ia.; Grace Church, Cedar Rapias, Ia., and the Omaha, Church of the herd, Nebraska.

Denounce the Nominees! of the Cook County Democratic ~ Leaders| CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—The Hearst| wing of the Democratic party in Cook County is against the candidates de- cided upon at yesterday’'s convention. The Hearst papers state that the can- didates are owned body and soul by National Committeeman Roger C. Sul- livan and William Loeffler. They are attacked savagely by the Hearst organ | here and the ticket is referred to as born in the infamy of “gas and tunnel” politics. This action means a third ticket in the fleld and the defeat of the Demo- cratic party at the polls in Novem- ber. When the Hearst faction de- cided to abide by the action of the convention yesterday and made no ef- fort to bolt, the Sullivan-Loeffler poli- ticlans thought all was serene in the county Democratic ranks. They changed their mind today and now realize that whatever chances there were for vic- tory In November will be shattered unless peace can be patched up in some manner. CLARK AS BRYAN’S MATE. DENVER, Aug. 10.—For President, ‘W. J, Bryan; for vice president, W. A. Clark. Members of the United States Senate sub-committee on Indian Affairs beliéve they have discovered the Demo- cratic ticket for 1908. Senators Claik of Wyoming, Teller of Colorado, Long of Kansas and Brandegee of Connecti- cut discussed the possibility with in- terest before they separated here. The discussion started when Senator W. A. the meeting, was called East by a cablegram. One of the members of the party attempted to banter Clark by saying that the message must be from Bryan. “I suppose you will come back with Bryan,” sald one. “Possibly, if he will let me,” was the reply. | Finally the talk became serious and several Senators became imbued with the idea that Clark should be Bryan's running mate. . SAN DIEGO REPUBLICANS. SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Re- publican county central committee this evening the following were named ai delegates to the Congressional conven- tion to be voted for at the primarles next Tuesday: C. Fred Henking, George M. Hawley, F. W. Stearns, Frank S. Banks, E. C. Hinkle, George McNell, Carl I Ferris, Theo L. Barnes, Dan F. Jones, D. B. Northrup and M. J. Perrin. An opopsition ticket will be in the field on account of a local contest by the opponents of the organization, but both tickets are understood to be’ for the renomination of 8. C. Smith of Bakersfleld, who will without doubt be the unanimous choice. The ticket named tonight for dele- gates to the State convention consists of Dr. Edward Grove, Frank 8. Jen- nings, Dr. D. Gochenauer, Eugene Da- ney, W. R. Guy, George F. Mahler, G. ‘W. Pauly, M. A. Graham, John B. Os- born and A. H. Sweet. bl o HEARST WILL BE NAMED. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The Morning Telegraph, the personal organ of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, predicts that Hearst will receive the regular Democratic nomination for Governor. Murphy owns stock in the Morning Telegraph, and the following paragraph from an article in that paper this (Saturday) morning |is therefore significant: “The Independence League has at last set a date for holding its conven- tion. After dilly-dallying and shifting its date time after time, it has finally set upon September 11 and the place as Carnegle Hall. Sixteen hundred delegates are expected to be present. This convention will be but a sideshow to the performance under the big top. It is now fairly well conceded that Hearst will receive the Democratic nomination, in which case the conven- tion of the Independence League will be at best a superfluity.” POLITICS AT STANFORD. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 10.— Dr. R. L. Wilbur, the official physiclan of Stanford University, has been select- ed to represent the fagulty politicians of Republican faith in the coming State Conventlon in Santa Cruz. Charles Detrick of Mayfield will be the delegate from the same precinct at the Congr sional Convention. This arrangement of the delegates was decided today at a conference. Stanford students are taking a lively interest In the election. State Prohibition Convention, LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—lne State Prohibition convention will meet in this city August 21, 22 and 23.

Pardee Must Accept His OwnHomeDelegation Under Restrictions HENSHAW ACGTIVE By Thomas B. Sullivan In his struggle for remomination| Governor Pardee will have a solid del- egation from Alameda County. He will receive it only on conditions that exact a great deal and will hold it only as long as the practical politicians see fit to permit him. It is highly probable that the Governor will be unable to use this delegation for trading purposes and in that event his course in the| convention will be made much more; difficult. Alameda is, as it always has been, a very hotbed of politics. Every second, man one meets on the streets has his finger in the political pie, or thinks he| has. Factional county fights in the| Republican ranks are exceptionally bitter this year, and it was only after the Governor had given a solemn prom- ise to keep hands off in these squabbles that he received assurance of a solid delegation in his behalf. OLD SCORES TO SETTLE. The local politicians have a string | of old scores to settle, many long- standing grudges to pay and some re- wards to make. But Governor Pardee must keep out of all this and attend strictly to his own candidacy. The | real power behind the State delegation | and the man who will manipulate it as | he pleases, except in one singular ex- ception, is Supreme Justice Henshaw. | How long Governor Pardee may re- | tain his own delegation if ne does not win on the first ballot remains for the real operators in the convention to determine. It may be accepted as | a fact that the Governor will not win | on_the initial ballot. Justice Henshaw desires to succeed himself on the Supreme hench and nat- urally wants the delegation from his own county. But, powerful as he has made himself, he cannot have this dele- gation in its entirety. Superior Judge Melvin is a seeker after tne honors of | | | | ly popular in Alameda. If he enters the fight for the nomination he cer- | tainly will receive the support of at| least one Assembly distriet in the| county and perhaps more. VAN FLEET HAS AMBITIONS. W. C. Van Fleet-fias finally decided that he would adorn the Court of Ap- peals for this district, and he will ask | for the Republican nomination. His leading opponent, up to date, is Su- perfor Judge Carroll Cook. Both| would like the place now occupied by | Justice Cooper. | Ira Parks, the Republican’ Assessor | of Marin County, is eager to try con- | clusions with R. H. Beamer, the Damo- crat who for many years has repre-| sented the Third District in the State| Board of FEqualization. Parks has stands thoroughly the seriousness of | the task he wants to assume. One of the curlosities of the cam- paign in this city has developed in the fear of Ruef that some of the| Simon-pure Herrin men whom he has| placed on the various tickets won't play fair after they get to the con- vention. Ruef has selected many men who, if they want Herrin's address, don't have to ask Ruef for it. They do not need a special delivery of Ruef stamps when they want to communi- cate with his Highness, and Abe is nursing a suspicion that when the de- livery of political goods kes place it may be something of a one-shell| affair. X HERRIN WILL PLAY FAIR. The fears of Mr. Ruef seem to be groundless, as Herrin has as yet done nothing to indicate that he intends to send his gamekeepers into the logal preserves of Ruef. The compact ap- pears to be that, in consideration of giving Herrin what he wants in the State, Ruef is to be given absolute right to do what he pleases in this city. This is one of those fair political exchanges that may mean much rob- bery, and as far as one may see it will be made. It is difficult to tell why the loecal | Democracy should have troubles this vear, but it has. WIith prospects as| dead as a pickled mackerel, the Demo- | crats are still fighting. The dismal ef- | fort to revive the Horses and Carts and | make Bill Eagan driver instead of Jim O’'Brien has support practically no- where except from Colonel Blenfield and some of the deputies in the As- sessor's office. REGULAR DEMOCRACY CONTROLS.| As a matter of fact the regular or- ganization will win overwhelmingly. It will carry the Twenty-eighth, Twenty- ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, nearly all of the Thirty-second, the Thirty-third, probably all of the Thirty-fourtg, the| Thirty-fifth, half of the Thirty-seventh, | the Thirty-eighth, two in the Thirty- ninth, five in the Fortieth, the Forty- | first, the Forty-third, the Forty-fourth and all but two in the Forty-fifth. The Eagan-Bienfleld combination, as-| sisted by the alleged independence of | “Little Dick"” O'Connor, will win in the| Thirty-sixth, will get haif of the Thir- | ty-seventh and most of the Thirty-ninth. The opposition will fight for possession of the Forty-second District. The Lemocrats are making an oflort! to send some of their representative| men to the various conventions. Some of those who will sit In the judicial convention are James G. McGulre, ex-| Judge J. F. Sullivan, F. H. Gould. W.| M. Cannon and ex-Judge W. B. Cope. It is quite probable that ex-Judge Sulli- van will be chosen chairman of the ju- dicial convention. WOMAN KILLED IN AUTO AGGIDENT. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—When an au- tothobile- owned and driven by Stewart Elliott ran into a mounted policeman in the Bronx early today, Mrs. T. W. Noble | of 635 Tremont avenue, Baltimore, wife | of a traveling salesman, was thrown out and so severely injured that she died to- night in Fordham Hospital. Mrs. Mar- garet Johnson of this city, also of the party, is still in the hospital, sériously hurt. Elliott and the policeman, Harry TF. Smith, were slightly injured. The mounted officer was riding after the automobile in an attempt to arrest the driver of the machine for violating the speed law. He galloped alongside the car, when it suddenly swerved to- ward him. His horse stumbled and fell and the automobile was thrown into a fire plug and wrecked. Elliott was taken into custody early in the day, but was later released. Fol- lowing the death of Mrs. Noble to- mght, however, Elliott's rearrest was orderea by the Coroner. # —_— Pastor McKinney Dies in Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—The death occurred here today of the Rev.

Subscription Started for Myrtle Vane, Now De- serted Wife in North PLAN A BENEFIT SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. SAN JOSE, Aug. 10.—Local theatrical people, moved by the story published in The Call that Myrtle Vane had met with misfertune in the North and had been deserted by her husband, Millar Bacon, are preparing to aid the fas- cinating little actress in a substantial mapper. Del Lawrence, leading man of the Redmond company now showing in this city, has started the comtribution list, and Mae Keane, leading lady In the same company, is actively soliciting furds. A benefit performance is planned for the end of the month at the Garden Avditorium, and it is expected that the attendance at this affair will eclipse anything ever seen in this eity. While Millar Bacon and Myrtle Vane were playing at the Garden in San Jose they had gome troudle and separated for a short time. The trouble was coused by Bacon's attentions to Agnea Williams, also a member of the com- pany. Agnes Willlams later became Mrs. Johns and was with the Frank Bacon stock company at the Thegter Jose a few weeks ago. The dispute over Agnes WHliams, however, was not serious, and Mrs. Bacon returned to San | Jose atter a week or two. In a letter received by a friend of Mrs. Bacon in San Jose a short time ago from Salt Lake, Mrs. Bacon stated that Millar had gone away—"gone home t> mother.” PRI, SHERIFF ATTACHES ENTIRE TOWN SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL SPOKANE, Aug. 10.—Sheriff Tuck of Nelson has served Slocan City, B. C., with éxecution papers which put tho municipality into his hands. When the Sheriff took possession of the place the Mayor and Aldermen sent in their res- ignations. C. E. Smitheringale of Van- couver is the creditor who is clesing up the town. Recently he endeavored to garnishee the licenses paid by hotels and saloons, but the Mayor was too quick and paid out the money as sal- aries for civic officials. The Sheriff will levy a special tax on all property in the ¢ity to pay the judgment. If not pald the Sheriff will give notice that in elghteen months all the real estate in the eity will be sold at public auction. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 10.—The Gov- ernor’s mansion has been advertised for sale for non-payment of taxes. The fect that the mansion was about to be sold was not discovered by the State officials until this morning, and there have been a number of consultations during the day to prevent the consum- mation of the deal. Today the County Clerk of Shawnee County notified the Executive Counell that the executive mansion had been advertised for sale at the coming tax deed sale in September. The amount on the tax rolls of the county is $§1§9.93 for improvements made by the city around the property. The Governor was inclined to argue the case with the Sec- rotary of State, who informed him that the Attorney General held that State property can be taxed for improve- ments made by the city. The County Clerk says that the debt must be pald befora September 21 or the property will be sold at public auction. —_— AUTOPSY SHOWS MRS.
