spent day looking into. The Mayor. the
Board of Health and Superintendent lie
Fevre were present, and all but two men,
bers of the Board Of Health examined. AS
lar as could be ascertained they all denied
the reports that the food at the hospital was
Inferior and insufficient. The patients had
all they could eat and as well prepared as a
tirst-class kitchen department could do il.
That the institution is old, pour,y equipped
and in sore need of many repairs and ini-
provements they did not attempt to deny.
But It was steadily maintained that the best
was being done that could be with the
means ut hand. They said that the appro-
priation should be increased to S125. 900
annually, and hoped such would be recon-
mended by the Grand Jury to the Board of
Supervisors.
The other matter inquired into was COM
plant made by ladies of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice. There were present as
witnesses Mesdames Winzeli. Connel, Muir
ply and Taylor and Misses Stevens aud

by DIR. McMullen and Thomas Fraser. The
society believed the vendors were guilty of
an unlawful act In selling that drug, and
applied at the Police Court for warrant
for his arrest. They could not obtain one.

ALL ABOUT LETTERS.
Charles Meyer Of the Wigwam an
Intended Victim.
Charged With Violating the United States
Nail Laws-Two Attempts to Exact
Money From Meyer.

Yesterdays developments in the sensation
sprung upon Charles Meyer, the proprietor
Of the Wigwam, were not less sensational
than the first, and they. with an arrest that
will probably be made to-day, will consti-
tute what is destined to become local cause
celebre. The arrest contemplated is for at
tempted extortiou.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. James
Petrie. who lives at 719 Eddy street, charged
Meyer with having opened her mail before
il reached her. This, che says, was eight
months ago. but her visit afterward to Post
Office Inspector Seyboldt shows it was not
more recent than September. 1890 At that
time she called upon Inspector Seyboldt
with two envelopes she claimed had been
tempered with, and In her story she said
she thought Meyer did it. She also claimed
she had sent decoy letter addressed on the
inside to Miss Adelaide Brandon, st the
same number, 81 Mason street, aud on the
she claims contained dun to come and pay
q bill. 1t was signed "A. Brown" The
next day, she claimed, Meyer had a quarrel
with Miss Brandon about the bill, which
Mrs. Petrie claims he took for cipher let
ter for an clandestine meeting.
On this showing Inspector Seyboldt took
the matter in hand and for several DAYS
sent decoy letters to Mrs. Petre at her Ma
sun-street address. all of which were duly
returned to him without the least signs Of
having been tempered with. Seeing that
Mrs. Petrie's theory and claims appeared
groundess so far as Meyer was concerned
Inspector Seysoldt allowed the matter To
drop until new developments might give
more reliable clews, and in that state. So
lar as the government Is concerned, the
matter OF Mrs. Petrio's mail has since re-
NAMED.
CALLING FOR ENVELOPES
On April "a last, according to Clerk Cor
dan OF the Postoffice Inspectors corps. Miss
Abbie Petrie. daughter of the woman who
makes the charges against Meyer, called at
the Office, asked for the envelopes and men,
toned that her mother had moved from 3I7
Mason street to 43U Geary, and that she
would like to have her mothers address
changed. Clerk Gordan went to the Post
office with her, saw her fill out the order.
which yesterday was reproduced the better
to fix the date of Miss Petrie's visit. With
nothing new In the way of complaints and
the voluntary withdrawal Of evidence by
the complainant's daughter INSPECTOR Sew
boldt thought Mrs. Petrie was satisfied
regarding her mail. But she does not a D.
pear to have been so IL half dozen affi-
davts filed yesterday tell a true story.
The story from this point is best set forth
In the substance OF six affidavits, all of which
were sworn to before Daniel HanlOn. mo-
tary public. By far the most important il
the deposition OF Mrs. Bertha Tischben.
She swears that one day during the latter
week OF last January she was in Mr. Movers
private office at the Wigwam when Mrs.
Petrle entered and demanded Of Never
