Joseph Fox, who is spending thirty days In the County Jail because he feiled to provide for his children, lost the custody of his four little ones yes- terday. Judge Murasky appointed Mrs, Johanna Ferren as the guardian of Loreta, aged 14; James, 13; Helen, 4, and Edna, 2. Not only Mrs. Ferren, a sis- ter of Mrs. Fox, now dead, but Fox's own sister, Mrs. Sadie Duncan, testified that the father was absolutely worth- less and not a fit pervon to care for the children. Fox made a half-hearted denial of the charges that were laid at his door |and said that, while he had been drink- ing. he wanted to reform, but the Judge remarked it was rather late in life for that sort of thing. —_—— e Libellants sion, United States D! “Tiger fro Day of Meeting Changed. t was announced vesterday that the|yNjyURIES INFLICTED BY THUGS OsFd of Fwlics Commissiohsrs - il CAUSE BOSSANELLI'S DEATH eet ‘Mond evenin Applicants for —— fquor licenses who were asked to ap-| Man Who Was Attacked by Enemies pear before the board on T will have instead INSURE Agair&g} Fire 0.8, BOWLEY, 233 Sachez 3.

Aug. 10—~ The New Hampshire Kire In- surance Company of Manches- ter announced its withdrawal | from the State of Callfornia teday. Its | officers say that the conditions on the 1 Pacific Coast are so unsettled that they | 1 do not feel safe in writing new busi- ness there. The company oW about $965,000 to S8an Franeisco policy-hold- ers. It claims this loss will be paid in full. It had a capital of $1,000,000 and |a surplus of $1,250,000 on January 1, | 1906. The company lssued today the | following statement concern.ng {ta | wthdrawal from Calforna: “The company has not withdrawn |from the several States which were operated under {ts Pacific Coast depay ment, but has instructed its managers at San Francisco to suspend writing business for the present, preferring lo await the results of the period of re construction and te obtain further in- formation as to the possible results of legislation in California.” et s e Sl 0 NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY TO HAVE NEW AGENCY | Local Braneh of Famous Baking Con- cern to Be Located at Twenty- Second and Indisna Streets. This is really the story of a biseuit and how it grew. Incidentally it is story of the agency the Natlonal B | cult Company {s preparing to epen in | | this city at Twenty-segond and Indiana | streets at an early date. As a matter | of fact, the local demand for the prod- ucts of the National Blscuit Company— Uneeda biscuit and dozens of other crisp and toothsome produets of the oven—has grown te such proportions as to make it jmpossible to supply the | demand except by the establishment of {a local ageney. | The sueccess attained by the National | Blscuit Company is making all the | world to knew Uneeda biscult contalns a hidden moral for all who ecater to the public—~there is always reom for the | best. It is said to be a faet that any woman who comes to know Uneeda biscuit—to know their ecrisp, deliclous goodness, as well as the absoiute purity and cleanliness insured by thelir pack- | age, which excludes all air and moist- ure, will never again accept a common soda cracker in a common paper bag. Following the popular appreval of Uneeda biscuit, the protection of a package which excludes all alr, dust and moisture was also given to ether delightful products of the baker's art |that had in the meantime been per- | fected, and so today the trade mark of the National Biscuit Company on each end of a package -of biseuit or crackers is everywhere recognized as a guarantee of quality. The new agency will be in charge of Mr. Hupeke. Mr. Huneke will he equipped with every faecility for han- dling the increased demand and the people whe make Uneeda biscuit and the people who sell Uneeda biscuit and the people who know Uneeda biscuit— all will be happy.

Judge Lawlor refuved to allew a plea of once in jeopardy to be entered in the case of Jacob Steinman, the militlaman charged with the murder of Joseph Myers. Steinman, it appears, was tried | by a military court and exonerated of any blame. While the peint is open for further argument, Judge Lawlor has practically held that the State law was supreme at the time of the fire, and that the action of the military author- itfes would have no bearing. istant District Attorney John O'Gara demurred to the entering of the | plea, and the court s ined the de- murrer. In making his ruling Judge Lawlor said that Stelnman weuld se- cure all of his rights through the plea of no® guMty that has been entered in the present case. The case will go to trial next Monda; e CORONER’S JURY RETURNS VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER Finds That Willlam 0'Hea Died From Effects of Blows Administered by Eugene Whelton.

August Expenses Will Not Differ ;Materially From Last Month TOTALS COMPARED The executive committee of the board of direotars of the Relief Cors poration yesterday approved the Au- Bust budgets of the departments of camps, rehabilitation, bullding and finance, aggregating $79.930.75. The budgets of the Health Department, the commissary warchouse and clothing warehouse did t came up. The total of the budget adopted for July. including all departments, was | §76,107.27. The July budgets for the Moulder and Crocker warehouses totaled $6938, and $27,914 was allowed | for sanitation. These last totals added to the budgets adopted vesterday will | make the August budget $114,782.75 Much of the work done last month by the Health Department will be done from now on by the department camps. The department of eamps was allowed $8695 yesterday for that pur- pose. The warehouse budgets .or Au- gust will be much smaller than they were for July. Last month $5400 wa; allowed far the care of sick in h pitals. This month $14,000, an increase of $8500, was allowed. When the bud- ets are all in and the proper deduc- tions have been made the indications are that the August budget will not differ materially from that of July. 833,810,760 FOR CAMPS, The budget presented by Rudolph Spreckels for wne department of eamps provided for an expenditure of §32,- 810.75. Of this $5195 is needd for the ordinary salaries of the department. The expenses of the quartermaster's department were put down at $13,467. The sum of $8695 was provided for the payment of laborers and sterilizers who have heretofore been employed by the Health Department but who will hereafter be ynder the direction of the camp administratars. During July the camps were policed by the regular po- licemen of the city. After August 13 the pelicemen will be withdrawn, and tzug was allowed for the watchmen who will take their places. Another item charged against camps this manth that was not included in the July bud- get was one of $2795.75, made neces- sary by the transfer of Red Cross em- ployes to the department of camps. S8preckels’ budget was adopted withoyt diseussion. The buydget of the department of re- lief and rehabilitation was presented by Chairman Dohrmann. It ealled for §15,000 for office expenses, other employes. In addition_to this, the budget contained an item &f $14,000 for the payment of the expenses of the goor in hospitals, not te exceed 32 a ay for-each patient. Last month pay- ment was made with part eash and part supplies. PREFERS CASH SYSTEM. Dohrmafin stated that this system had proved unsatisfactory and recem- mended that a eash scheme be decided upon. The appropriatien for this pur- P for July was $5400. Dohrmann's suggestion was aeted upon and his budget adopted. One hundred thousand dollars was set aside for the work of rehabilitation. A like sum will probably be provided at the next meeting of the committee. Far the use of the department of build ing $5000 was set aside and for the department of flnance and segretary's office $11,136. The committee voted $2500 to meet deficlency claims for July. ©Of this .18 goes to meet the deficiency in the fund provided for the care of the sick in hospitals during July.
