SHE WILL BEHOLD
HER BABES AGAIN
Mrs. Bueter's Children Will
Soon Be Taken to
Agnews.
An Attempt to Be Made to
Soothe Her Sadly Dis.
traught Mind
Mrs. Pettee Emphatically Denies Thai
She Ever Made Any Charge
AGAINST Her

Very likely in the next few days the ex-
pertinent of trying to soothe the wildly ex-
cited mind of Mrs. Gratz Bueter by bringing
before her the two little children who are
now in the Sheltering Arms will be tried.
Crazed by the loss of them she went
shrieking to her imprisonment at the
Agnews Asylum under commitment by
the court. Since she departed Sister Julia
las been made their guardian. Mrs John
Pettee, Mrs. John Petreau and Sister
Julia. all of whom have become deeply
interested in the misfortunes of Mrs
Bueter, have met and talked the matter
over. Yesterday Mrs. Pettee said that
Mrs. Bueter will soon see the little ones
again.
From Mrs. John Petreau some facts
have been learned concerning the recent
history and characteristics of Mrs. Bueter.
Mrs. Petreau employed Mrs. Bueter to do
some work for her. 81 am not rich, said
Mrs. Petreau, "but | helped her some. l
found her to be quiet little person, very
fond of her children, and working when
ever she could find work to do. AT one
time she boarded the little ones, paving
for their board 80 cents day when she
was earning rs cents per day. But her
children were poorly led and grew thin
and she then did the next best thing that
she could"
This is the substance of the statement
made by Mrs. Petreau 10 Mrs. Pettee con-
corning the unfortunate woman whose
life has met with such a remarkable and
unlocked -for turn. From another source
it is learne that Mrs. Bueter had another
child, which she was unable 10 support.
| This was placed in a charitable institu-
ton and died there. Mrs. Bueter felt the
loss OF that one keenly. Struggling one
way and another to get the necessaries of
life her thought was mainly of her chill
dren. They were her only Joy ana pleas
ure. All the rest was hard fight Tor ex-
istence for them and for herself.
At one time Mrs. Petreau, fine-looking,
n otherly lady, took the Bueter children
into her home and cared for them two or
three weeks. Altogether she has seen
much of Mrs. Bueter, and she has no idea
that Mrs. Bueter was insane until her
children were lost to her.
Mrs. Pettee was at the Offices of the So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Children yesterday. She called to demon
strate clearly that she has never made any
| complaint against Mrs. Bueter. She said
emphatlcally: mr.. Welch is much mis-
taken if he says that l ever made any
charge against MRS. Bueter."
Size took no pains TO conceal her indig.
nation, and said that if the directors of
| the society REFLECTS Mr.. Welch as Sec
| rotary at the meeting to occur In Feb
| ruary a new society will be started to do
the same work.

NEWSBOYS SET FREE.

Charges of Distur bing the Peace
Dismissed by Judge Joachimsen.
Tommy Grove, a diminutive newsboy,
appeared in Judge Joachimsen's court
yesterday, to answer to charge of dis.
turbing the peace by challenging another
boy to fight on Christmas eve at Clay and
Montgomery streets. The other boy was
J. Cervanto.
Policeman Knight arrested the boys OH
the omplaint of Zeigler Bros, who have
stationery-s store on the corner and they
were bailed out by Thomas Boyle, bust
ne7s manager of the Bulletin.
Ex-Judge Ferral interested himself in
the case, and yesterday appeared in court
to defend them. Tommy was present, but
Cervanto is in Sacramento acting as one
of the pages in the Legislature The
Judge dismissed the charge against both
boys and Tommy promised not to use
any vulgar language in the future

NOTES.

After the first race, in which nineteen
started from the barrier. Charley Thorpe,
who had the mount on George Rose. the
favorite, said it seemed as though every
green boy riding in the race was bent on
taking chance in getting to the front.
His mount was bumped about and finished
beyond the money.
Henry StuIl, whose paintings in oil of
equine celebrities have been so much ad-
m red, arrived from New York Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Stull looks over the dope
book now and then and is quite successful
laying down bet at times.
Ed Purser is somewhat irritated at q
long siege of i'll luck and if he carries out
a declaration made on the Oakland boat
yesterday morning California will not see
him here next winter. The tall fastener
thinks too much partiality is shown local
horses in the handicaps and other events.
and if things continue as they are he will
look for pastures new in the time to come.
Rosebud was ineligible to start in the
mile dash, captured by Pollock, which ac-
counted for the scratching of the chestnut
mare.

support and although Sam Doggett had
the leg up the geldlng was never able to
extend himself. All these little tribes are
very funny and serve to make the loot
notes in the form books very readable.
Schiller made Flashlight look like
''yaller dog" one day at Ingleside. but
how decislvely the bay horse turned the
tables yesterday 1t behooves one to en-
bark in the bookmaking business when
some of these races are carefully perused:
Altanera was supposed good thing"
in the third event which failed to materl-
aIiZe. The Baldwin horses are not dis
PLAYING the form they did while Trainer
Frank Taylor was at the helm. Mr.. lay
lor is ill with pneumonia.
Tullv Coulter's filIy Woodland Belle was
extensively backed to get the coin yester-
day and although rather unlucky during
the progress of the running made hne
showing and next time out should about
land.
What real good one Viking appears
to be when the ring gets gay and MARKS
up 100 to l. Professor Gleason might be
able to break some OF these horses of their
roguish tricks.
Satsuma pulled up quite lame after his
race. His owner, DR.. Howell, thought very
we'll of the chestnut horses chance and
close place odds were laid against him.
Kowal-ky was interfered with by Quick
silver below the paddock, which undouot-
eddy cost that horse The purse in the last
race Shaw, who had the mount on
Quicksilver, was suspended for foul rid
ing. Many found fault with "Skeets"
Martins ride on Kowalsky, being unkind
enough to say that he finished as close up
as he wished to. Martin is fast getting to
the top and he would be very indiscreet to
resort to any questionable methods.
Rule Is of the California Jockey Club
saws: Scratches in hanGicaps must be
made by 10 o'clock A. M, the same as In
other races" In the mile handicap yester-
day were two entries from the Burns q
Waterhouse stable, Sweet Favorable and
Sails bury II.
On the blackboard the name OF the
brown mare was early chaiked up as
non-starter and the com bination tends,
supposing Salisbury was to go, proceeded
to bet their money at this hazardous
game. The com blnation stand was pleased
to lay the long price of 20 to against the
son of Racine. Now, this looked very
tempting and catchy, and his name went
down on many a pasteboard. Just before
the first race was called 1t was announced
that Salisbury was scratched. and all the
combinations written with his name IN
were, of course, lost, without the holder
getting a run for the money wagered.
Following are the entries Tor this alter

VETOED BY THE MAYOR.

factory to the Chief Executive.
Mayor Phelan vetoed the plumbing or
dinance that was recently submitted to
the Board of Supervisors by the Board of
Health yes erday.
The returning of the document without
his approval is the result of a conference
the memb ers of the Health Board.
The Mayor was not quite satisfied with
some of the provisions of the ordinance
and so told the medicos. When the order
is amended so as to conform to the
Mayors IDEAS it will probably go through
without opposition.
