Death of the Pioneer Doctor of the Pacific
Coast.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, July %. - DR..
Richard S. Den died some time Saturday
night in his rooms in the Baker block, this
city, but the fact was not discovered I'D til
tonight.
An examination by Police Surgeon Bry-
ant showed death to be due to fatty de-
generation of the heart. kilograms were
at once sent to relatives at Santa Barbara

cease. He was the Oldest practicing physi-
clan on the Pacific Coast, having practiced
in the State since his arrival in 1915.
He was born in Kilkenny County, Ire
land, in 1922, and graduated as physician
from Dublin College in 1S43. The follow
ing year he sailed from his native country
as surgeon on vessel bound around the
Horn TO California, arriving in San Fran
cisco in the early part of 1915.
During the gold excitement of 1849 he
mined to some extent in the north, and
afterward was director and manager of a
ranch in Santa Barbara in company with
brother.
With these two exceptions he has prac-
ticed medicine in this State ever since ar
irving in San Francisco. He accumulated
a considerable fortune, and was one of
the founders of the Society of California

A BIG DISCREPANCY,
City Hall Moneys Amounting
to $4,000 to Be Ac-
counted For.
A. J. o'LoGHLEN's RECORDS
To Be Investigated by the Commits
sion at Its Meeting This
Morning.

The following startling document was
fled with Secretary McCarty of the Board
of New CITY Hall Commissioners yester-
dav and will come up for consideration by
that august body this morning at Ii o'clock:
To the Honorable the Board Of Net0 City Hd4
Commissioners, Hon. Adotph ShtTo' Chairman:
In the book of municipal accounts TOT Ihe nscal
wear ending Both June, 1894 page Oil, tho
taInaver, of San Francisco for their enlishten-
ment can read the following statement:
"Total expenditure and cost OF new OlIy HAL
to July 1, 1894, So ,048,66o ~.
Awaiting myself of the privilege OF Citizen
beg most respectfully to controyert tnls state
ment, and to say to your honorable ooaro
that said statement is false ana 1alleclous'
and the figures therein given distant from
baing correct by over three hundred and
eighty thousand $3.50, OoO) dollars ] ! That a
Justification of such magnitude could be dis
covered in a public account is highly dis
creditable, and perhaps has no parallel or
precedent anywhere. The attention tncreIore
of your "honorab1e board" is hereby called
thereto, at this opportune time, when the ao-
counts of all municipal departments are que
at the end OF the fiscal year. knowing that you
will be glad to have spurious and falsified
account substituted by genuine and correct
one, which am at any time ready and willing
to furnish to your ''honorablc board" II so

desired. a. =. " LoGhLEN'
Accountant 724 Broderick street.
Mr. O'Loehlen when seen last night said
that his bombshell would be bursted in the
Board of City Hall Commissioners this
morning. He would not commit himself
by saying what the nature of the SSSo,oOo
discrepancy might be, but informed the in
ouirer that he was in possession OF books,
accounts, facts and figures to substantiate
his statement formally made to the Board
of Commissioners, as quoted above.
Mr.. O'Loghlen has been familiar with
the affairs of the City Hall Commissioners
since 1871, having been employed in the
early days of the new halls construction
to make an itemized and expert statement
of the condition of affairs, for which he
was to receive $1,000. The work was taken
out of his hand for some inexplicable rea-
son and given to another accountant,
Mr.. OLoghlen lost his $1,000, but since
1871 he has kept close watch on City Hall
affairs, with the result that at this time he
has complete itemized account from year
to wear of the cost of construction. In
other words he has kept tabs on the various
City Hall Commissioners and is now in
position to show the present body where
there exists discrepancy of $3.50, 900.
The matter will cause no little interest,
and Mr.. O'Loghien says he is ready to
verify his statements with incontrovertible
facts and figures when the Commissioners
are ready to dip deep into the matter.

THE QUESTION OF FLAGS,
Independent Companies Dis
satisfied With Budd'S
Conditions.
der Spots In Their Hearts for
National Colors.

The announcement of Governor Budd's
decision as to the terms and conditions
under which independent military COM
panies and semi-military organizations
may parade or drill with arms has caused
a commotion among the members of I'M
attached companies in this City. The
probable result will be the disbandment of
at least four of the organizations and the
elimination of the military feature from
others.
The cause of the trouble lies in the stipu-
lation that while marching or drilling
under arms no flag other than the stars
and stripes shall be carried. The inde-
pendent military men do not object to TAX
ing the oath Of allegiance. They are per-
fectly willing to place themselves under
State control and become liable for active
service when needed. Most OF them are
content to submit their constitution and by
laws to the Governor for approval. But if
they cannot carry co-ordinately with the
stars and stripes the flag of their native
land they will not drill-that's all.
Among the French citizens of this City
there are three semi-military organiza-
tions-the Lafayette Guard, the Legion
Franchise and the French Zouaves. They
have been in existence for nearly thirty
years and are among the wealthiest indie
pendent companies in the City. Their
members are aggrieved because they can
no longer parade with the tricolor.
"There can be no French company with
out French flag" said J.. Michel presi-
dent of the Legion Franchise, yesterday,
land see nothing for it but to disband.
Our uniforms are, of course, the regular
officers uniforms of the French army, and
we could, I suppose, turn out with swords
just Us WE'LL or we could, perhaps, change
the flag into banner and carry it that
way. No decision in the matter has been
reached as yet, but personally l would
favor disbanding."
1.-THE Lafayette Guard will disband,
think, and sell out all its arms" said
President Bique of that organization when
questioned on the subject. "What is the use
of having French uniforms without the
French hag7 We have carried the stars and
stripes for thirty-two years, and the other
flag too. If now We can carry it no more
my idea is to give up the whole thing.
NO steps looking toward disbandment
have We: been taken, and must not be un-
derstood as speaking otherwise than as an
individual member of the organization.

Charged With Aiding a Jail Breaker to
Make Good His Escape.
SEATTLE, WASH. July 22.-An afternoon
paper publishes story to-day to the effect
that Chief of Police Bolton Rogers aided
Frank ]. Hart, bunco man, in making
good his escape at the time of the County
Jail delivery last March, wherein the noted
murderer, Tom Black, aud ten others were
liberated.
AS the story goes, Rogers arrested Hart,
afterward liberating him for $40 in cash
and the promise of $3.50 more. It appears
that Hart was packed in a dry-goods box
and shipped as freight from this city to
PaScoe.
There he made his escape, going thence
to Mexico, where he is at present said to
be sojourning. The paper publishes letter,
.vouching for its authenticity, purporting
to have been written by Hart from Salem.

SODATILLE,S MYSTERY.
a Portland JaiLbird Confesses to Hactng
Committed n Murder There.

PORTLAND, Or, July %. Louis
Smithie, in jail here for cow-stealing,
recently made sensational confession to
having murdered George Young of Soda
vile, Cal, three years ago.
1t is now thought that Smithie is the VIC
tim of mere hallucination. To-day he
was examined before the board of physi-
clans who pronounce it one of the most re-
markable cases of apparent mental de-
rangement they ever saw.
They agree the prisoner is mentally I'M
balanced, but whether he committed the
murder he claims be did is puzzIing.
George Young of Sodaville disappeared
under mysterious circumstances three
years ago, and it was claimed he was MUIR
dered.
Young's wife was infatuated with
Smithie, and she has followed and lived
with him ever since. The woman, who is
also in jail, denies that her husband was
murdered, and says Smithie is laboring
under delusion. Smithie stoutly adheres
to the story of the murder.

Il TALUABLE WATER.
Said to BE the Equal of the Product of
Carlsbad.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 22.-Stockton is
to be advertised by its mineral water, and
it is claimed it will be the best in the
United States. 1t was recently discovered
that the product of one of the gas wells
here is remarkably palatable when charged
with carbonic acid gas. 1t is an excellent
settler and promises to make name for
itself among the famous mineral waters.
A sample was recently sent to a large
wholesale house in Chicago, which pro-
nounced it to be superior even to the
waters of Carlsbad in many respects. The
man who owns the we'll has kept the fact a
secret and it only leaked out to-day.

FRESNO, CAL, July 22.-While out
hunting, several miles south of Fresno, the
young nephew of ]. V. Lemoore very mar
rowly escaped death, He got into his
buggy and pulled his shotgun in after him,
muzzle first. The trigger caught and the
gun was discharged. The young mans
right arm was severely burned, his hat was
blown off, and large hole was blown in
the buggy top. The clothing of the hunter
took fire, but he jumped into some water
in time to save his life. He did not know

Last Day of the Session of the ". @. 4. Q
School of Methods.


School of Methods.
PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, July 22.-To-
day was the closing day of w. G. T. U.
School of Methods. Mrs. Robert Bentley
of Berkeley conducted the discussion of
heredity based on a lecture by Joseph
Cook. Interesting points were presented by
several speakers, all tending to show
heredlty is but the fulfillment of the natu-
raj law; that what a man soweth his
children will be likely to reap, but that
proper study of the subject will show
how some hereditary tendencies may be
overcome.
A striking paper on the promotion of
purity along the lines recently laid down
by B. 0. Flower in the Arena, by Mrs. M.
E. Teats, was read, and ELECTED hearty ap-
plause. More purity in home life was the
dominant thought. The training of the
young and the election of cleaner men
to public places were recommended.
DR.. M. B. Mallory sent practical paper
on "No-license Campaigns" which was
read by. the secretary, after which the
school adjourned.

The dissatisfaction is by no means con-
fined to the French. President V. Felis-

military part of our organization or turn

The members of the Veteran Guard Of
California are of the opinion that their
organization does not come under the pro-
visions of the new law. They say they do
not need to take any oath, as they did
that years ago. If desired, however, they
