TROUBLE OVER DOCTOR" FINE Appointed Interne of the City and County
 Hospital.
Not Being a Graduated PhySi- elan He Has No Right to
 the Position.
Protest of the Doctors Who Recently Received Their Diplomas
 at Cooper's.

The recently graduated physicians from Cooper Medical College are ob- jecting to the appointment of young medical student at the City and County Hospital who has no diploma and who was never graduated at any college of medicine.
 The young man in question appears on the bulletin boards of the hospital as Dr. Fine, and is assigned to wards H and D, both being medical wards
 His opponents say that he has failed at two examinations and has never once come near the standard, and that his appointment is in direct violation of the rules of the Board of Health re- garding the appointment of internes that reads as follows:
 Rules regarding house physicians and surgeons. Section l. There shall be ap- pointed by the Board of Health annually staff of house physicians and surgeons Qnternes) who shall be recently gradu- ated in medicine and recommended by their respective faculties. They shall be appointed for one years term of service and shall reside in the hospital in apart ments designated by the superintendent and shall be allowed their board and washing, but shall be allowed no fees.
 The young man in question was a student at the San Francisco Poly clinic, a. department of the University of California, and from this college there have been no graduates since last July and the rules of the Board of Health calls for men recently grad uated from college. It is known that he did not graduate at this time nor did he graduate the year before, and ac- cordingiy he has no rights to the privi- leges of the City and County Hospital Dr. Sussdorf denies any responsibil- ity in the affair He says: If any body is to blame it is the faculty of the college. I have nothing to say regard ing who will be internes, though I have other power. The faculty of the col lege recommends the internes and we accept them.''
 He then stated that Dr. Fine was only placed in there temporarily. The young graduates say that he has no right to be there temporarily, and that he has no right even to the title doc tor.
 Dr. Sussdorf first claimed that 1t did not make any difference whether the internes had any diploma or not as long as they passed the examination and were recommended by the faculty but when shown his opinion differed from that of the rules he made the for mer statement.
 There are now at the hospital four 1 externes who are supposed to take the place of any interne who may be sick or absent.

4 GIRL WHO
 ACTED NOBLY
Sharon Case Recalled by the Marriage of One of the
 Witnesses.
Gave Evidence In Favor of Sarah Althea, but Subsequently
 Retracted.

A wedding was celebrated at the Hetbr- dist parsonage in Alameda ao January F, the officiating clergyman being the Rev MT. Bovard. The contracting parties were Robert Beeching, secretary of the San Francisco Benevolent Association, was very quiet affair, on account of the death of the grooms mother, which oc cured a few days before the ceremony.
 It is many years since Miss Nellie Bracket (now Mrs. Beeching) has been in the public mind, but she will be re- membered as having been one of the most important witnesses in the famous Sharon case some twelve years ago, in which Sarah Althea Hill tried to estab- fish her right to be called the wife of the deceased millionaire and so inherit one half of his vast fortune. It created a great sensation at that time, but now has been almost entirely forgotten.
 During the progress of the trial Miss of testimony in favor of the plaintiff, and her evidence would no doubt have done Althea had not something unforeseen hap pened. This was nothing less than an affidavit. made by Miss Bracket, in which she solemnly swore that her evil dence in the case was mere fabrication, and she retracted everything to which she

Gend she was more sinned against than slnning. It was an example of what we would now call hypnotic in- fuence. exerted by Sarah Althea. By a system of cajoling, threats gift making and promises for the future the older woman had obtained a complete mastery over the child and compelled her to swear falsely in regard to occurrences which had no foundation in fact. The girl, how ever, acted nobly and made full repara- ton by going on the witness-stand and making an affidavit completely denying her first evidence. She made the amende | honorable and was not to blame for her conduct, for she was a mere child in years and experience and was simply a tool in the hands of an older and design ing woman"

Several vessels met with mishaps on the front yesterday. The first one to get into trouble was the schooner Bella. She was on her way to Tillamook, got caught in a squall and her foremast head car ried away. She was lowed to Main street wharf, where the repairs will be made.
 The gasoline schooner Hercules was the next to get into trouble. Returning from her trial trip Captain Turner did not slow down quickly enough, and in consequence the schooner crashed into the bark Rod erick Dhu, which was leaving for Hono- lulu. The bark was not damaged much, but the Hercules lost her jibbOom.
 The steam schooner Point Arena. while docking at section A of the seawall, was caught by the tide, which runs like a millrace at that point, and was carried down on the schooner Ralph J.

F. T. BOhen, a w ealthy Miner of Montana, a
 Good Thing"
He Refuses to Give Virqie Mel rose Back Her Rare
 Diamonds.
Judge Conlan Issues a Search War rant and the Case Will Be Heard
 This Morning.

F. T. Bohen, wealthy mining man from Montana, seems to be a good thing" to a number of people and he is being pushed along for all he is worth.
 One of his benef1ciaries is Virgie Mel rose, a young woman we'll known in the ''tenderloin district" bu- the course of their friendship has not been running smooth since Wednesday night and yesterday afternoon VirgIe ob- tained a search warrant from Judge Conlan to recover the possession of a pair of diamond earrings from Bohen and Henry Doscher, proprietor of the Seal Rock House at the ocean Beach.
 In telling her story to the Judge she said: ''I met Bohen a few days ago and he told me he intended to go to the Seal Rock House to spend a few days. After he went there he induced me to put up there also as he felt lone ly and wanted company.
 'I was feeling blue one day and he asked me what was the matter with me. I told him I wanted s13O and he said that needn't bother me. He gave me the money and I got my diamond earrings with it which I had given as security for loan of $130. Last night l was cleaning the earrings in alcohol and Bohen took them and admired them. When I asked him to return them he said he would keep them and handed them over to Doscher. I tried persuasion and then threats, but they laughed at me, and finally I drove into the city and asked the help of the po- lice, but they would do nothing as Dos cher telephoned to them that he had the diamonds.
 "The diamonds are worth s570; at least that is what ex-President Baril- las of Guatemala, who presented them to me, paid for them. He bought them for me while he was in the city on a visit
 "Bohen has been having good time out at the Seal Rock House and has been spending his money like a prince. but I don't propose that he should be allowed to keep my dia- monds even though he advanced me the loan of S130."
 A policeman was sent out to the Seal Rock House with the search warrant and the case will be heard by Judge Conlan this morning.
 O. NJ. Welburn, the ex-Collector of Internal Revenue, was a friend of the Melrose woman, and it was said that he wasted considerable money upon her. She is handsome brunette and belongs to a respectable family in the city.
