Water stands higher in wells and is

OF justice, another case has cropped up that

REFUSING THE PERMIT.
Coroner Hawkins and DR.. Kuhl-
mann Differ in the Case of
Jens Sonderup.
Inquest Over the Body of an Electric
Car Victim-Burial Permit Issued
Yesterday.

Coroner Hawkins and DR.. Charles G..
Kuhlmann entertain widely different
ideas as to what caused the death of
Jens w. Sonderup of 10 Steiner street,
who was struck by a Kearny-street elec-
tric-car some six months ago, and who
finally passed away on Thursday last
This difference of opinion between the
Coroner and a reputable physician has
caused the Board of Health not little
trouble. 1t has also created an impression
in their minds that the Southern Pacific
is responsible in a way for the widely diff
ferent ideas expressed in the two death
certificates now on file in that Office. The
story briefly told is as follows:
Six months ago Jens w. Sonderup, q
beer-bottler by occupation, while attempt
ing to cross Kearny street. near Washing
ton, was struck by northbound electric
car. He was carried home in an insensible
condition. but later recovered conscious
ness. However, the man was a physical
wreck. His lower limbs were paraIyzed to
such an extent as to unit him for busi-
ness.
On Thursday last Sonderup died, and the
attending physician, DR.. Charles G. Kuhl-
mann, offered at the Board of Health office
the usual form of certificate, the cause of
death being named as follows: 'Progres-
sive traumatic (from a wound) cerebro
spinal ataxia and paralysis"
As the certificate was not Endorsed by
Coroner Hawkins, a burial permit was re-
fused. Later, DR.. Kuhlmann appeared at
the Health Office and demanded to know
why the authorities would not receive it.
The angry physician was informed that in
cases of deaths resulting from accidents,
all certificates must be countersigned by
the Coroner.
Hardly an hour had passed before an
employe of the Market-street Railway ap-
peared at the Health Office and demanded
to know why the permit was refused. The
enterprising official was given the same
answer as that which so angered DR.. Kuhl-
mann.
Just how it happened no one seems to
know but the body of Sonderup was
viewed by the Coroner and yesterday
certificate with the cause of death, reading
as follows, was filed by DR.. Hawkins:
Brain, spinal cord and kidneys preserved for
microscopical xamination-pulmonary tn ber-
culosis-nodules through both lungs and in
kidneys; stomach preserved for analysis. In
quest pending.
In accordance with this certificate the
Health Office issued burial permit,
naming consumption as the cause of
death. 1t will be observed that Coroner
Hawkins and DR.. Kuhlmann differ materi-
ally as to what actually caused the death
of Sonderup. Paralysis is named IN the
first Ger titicate and tuberculosis in the one
last placed on file.
In view of the fact that the deceased
mans family expect to institute big suit
for damages against the Market-street
Railroad this difference of opinion between
Coroner Hawkins and DR.. Kuhlmann will,
no doubt, cut big figure.

Lulu Marquardt, the girl who ran away
from her home in Benicia about three
months ago, was found by Detective An

morning, and taken to the City Prison.
Lulu is very pretty girl, 16 years of
age. She was working as nurse-girl with
Mrs. ]. r. Johnston, who keeps lodging
house at 328 Third street.
II don't want to go back home," she
said, as the tears ran down her cheeks. 'fI
left about three months ago because I
could not bear the cruel treatment of my
mother and brothers. The marks of the
last beating got from my mother can be
seen on my back yet. She beat me with a
stick. When father and she duarreled,
she always turned her wrath upon me.

brothers. Three of them are younger

inquiries about her treatment by her
mother before she is sent back to Benicia.
