a Revelation of Beauty in Store
at the Palace Under the Aus
pices of the Fair Doctors
Daughters.

The maple room of the Palace has been
the scene of many gorgeous fete, but an
affair arranged by the Doctors Daughters
seems likely to surpass in brilliancy any
which have preceded it. This is the an
nual model doll show, the second. The
first was in all respects a success, and is
still a pleasant memory. The second will
be more elaborate, and in advance has
awakened a wider interest.
The show will open Thursday, Decem-
Der 1, continuing until II p. m of Satur-
day. 1t will be open each day from III
a. m. until II D. m. That the apartment
will be crowded and enthusiasm at high
pitch throughout is already certain, for
society has taken the event in hand, and
when society does this, it follows the pat
tern of 1.-The bright lexicon of youth,
In knowing no such word as fail.
A doll show is a revelation of beauty. 1t
is a display of the most artistic work of
the modiste. and many who do not think
of fashioning a gown for their own wear
take pride in competing with the one

Becker-Creegan Case.
Prosecution Is Suspi-
Cious of That Disa-
greement.

A suspicion that the jury in the Becker
Creegan forgery case was tempered with
has taken firm root in the minds of the
LAWYERS and detectives who conducted the
prosecution against the forgers. Many
circumstances in connection with the &C
ton of the three jurors who voted for
acouittal are considered sufficiently
strange by Chief of Police Lees and De-
tective Pinkerton to warrant thorough
investigation.
The police probe is now being used TO
discover, if possible, why Jurors David
Brooks, Edwin Lang and E. H. Seaman
obstinately refused Ito discuss the evil
dence against the defendants and held
the other nine jurors out for forty-elght
hours and finally forced a disagreement
The nine members of the jury VINO be-
Ieved the defendants were guilty OF forg-
ing a draft for $22,0 900 on the Nevada
Bank are at a loss to understand the
position of the three who held out Tor
acQuittal, especially when the latter alb
solutely refused to debate the question IN
the jury room.
Details of the proceedings in the jury
chamber have been given to Detective
Pinkerton and the Police Department.
When the jury retired, after being
charged by Judge Wallace, Messrs.
Brooks, Lang and Seaman Immediately
separated from the other members and
held a whispered consultation in the
corner of the room. They were asked by
the foreman to participate in a review of
the testimony presented, but fatty re-
fused. They Informed their fellow-turors
that they had made up their minds to
vote 10 acQuit the defendants and would
not recede from that determination if the
elaboration continued until doomsday.
The foreman, hoping to bring about an
agreement of some sort, took the Jury
into court twice for additional instruc-
tons from the Judge. In both instances
his efforts were ridiculed by the three Oh
durate jurymen.
An inexplicable incident is found in the
presence of one member on the jury. A
short time ago he was drawn as tales

Elsie Williams Continues Her Testi-

mony in the Extortion Case.
Through an admission of special counsel
for the prosecution in the Williams
Loose-Azhderian extortion case the let
ters written by Captain Nevills to the first
named defendant were not read to the
jury yesterday. Attorney George w.
Baker offered the letters as evidence, but
their admission was objected to. Mr..
Baker stated that his object in seeking to
introduce the letters was to establish
the contention that Nevills loved Mrs.
Williams. I'VE will admit that Captain
Nevills loved Mrs Williams, said Attor-
ney Riordan, and this ended the contro-
Versy. The letters were ruled out.
Mrs Williams was then called to the
stand for cross-examination. She adhered
to her story given on direct examination
and then explained at length the devel-
opment of the friendship between herself
and Nevills. Nevills first gained her con-
fidence, she said, by employing her to
write letters for him at her place in the
Palace Hotel. Finally she accompanied
him to a downtown restaurant, where
they made merry and she dined, when
ever she had a chance between the affec-
tionate demonstrations of her companion,
she said. A home was finally prepared for
her by Nevills and she was placed therein
and given money to support herself and
enjoy life. Nevills spent large portion
of his time with her, and after many
bIissful months sent her to his vineyard
In Fresno County, where she reigned SUI
preme. While she was at the vineyard
Nevills became jealous of Azhderian, and
entirely without cause, she said This
jealousy continued; complications arose;
her allowance was cut Off and in her eff
forts to provide for herself she gained the

of her prosecutor.

MISS JENNIE BLAIR, One of the
Most Untiring Workers for the
Dolls Tournament.

whose business it is to devise dainty raj
ment adequately described as dreams.
The dolls are to be divided into eleven
classes with a prize for the best In every
lot The donor of the first prize will be
entitled to the doll, and the losing dolls
are to be sold at auction. That a doll
which has had the distinction of posing
at a model show will fetch a larger price
than the plebeian doll taken from the
counter without any training In the fash-
ions and no knowledge of what Is proper
to wear, goes without saying. AS buSl-
ness investment the show doll may not
appeal but the Doctors Daughters do not
appeal strictly to the commercial instinct
There are to be prizes of SIS, which Will
perhaps cover the cost of the material for
the my gowns and the making. several
ladies have already donated one OF these
prizes each. These are Mesdames Eleanor
Martin, C. w. Croker, Henry Payot
Clarence Mann, Henry ]. Croker, Robert
McCreary, William G. Irwin, Joseph II, a.
Tobin, George w. Crocker, FRANK Sulii-
van and William Kohl.
Not every doll on exhibition will be en-
tered for a. prize, as many are 10 De on
sale Prices will range from 10 cents to
$50. and thus, as advertisements are wont
to state "be adapted to every purse. .
Anybody who wishes to donate dressed
doll may communicate with Mrs. J:
Stow Ballard of 610 Hyde street She will
accept the doll and later superintend the
selling of it to the donor or anybody else
In fact, the Doctors Daughters are in the
field to make money, and as they have a
recognized habit of putting 1T to noble
uses the public will wish them well and
visit the exhibition. AS to getting away
without spending a tri1e the public must
take its chances and will, with the utmost
cheerfuness. All the prominent dress
makers of the city have entered into the
spirit of the occasion and aside from that
which they may do for other contributors
will dress a few dolls in a manner not
only pattern for dolldom but for the
grown-up and living world. The show
will be under the supervision, of Mrs.
Chauncey Winslow, Mrs. Daniel Murphy
and Miss Jennie Blair. These ladies are
doing all they can to insure it's triumph
as an exhibition and as an aid to the
organization which has done so much
good work for charity. Mrs. Murphy has
donated an elaborate mechanical toy,
which, despite the recent outbreak of a
Supervisor against gambling, is to be raf-
fed off just as If there were no police.
So quietly do the Doctors Daughters
pursue their work that it is only on spe-
cial occasions attention is called to the
existence of the organization except
through the work itself Miss Susie Nc
EVAN is president, Mrs. C. r. Winslow
vice president Miss Alice Owen second
vice president Mrs. w. D. Fennimore r. .
cording secretary, Mrs. A. T. Stubs
treasurer and Mrs. Lewis Long CORE
spending secretary. AS rule these la
dies are content to pursue the work of
relieving distress. Just now they are plan
ming this doll show 1t is part of the
same work. and they invite the public
to participate.

is AT THE GERMAN HOSPITAL
ATTEMPT WILL SOON BE MADE
TO LOCATE THE BULLET.

Durie Heithier is now In private ward
at the German Hospital. Her condition
is so far improved that DR.. We'll, who now
has charge of the case, is very hopeful,
although the danger point has by no
means been passed. Before removing the
unfortunate girl yesterday a careful ex-
animation of her self-infiicted wound was
made her temperature taken and her
mental condition considered. AS soon as
tie doctor decided that moving would
not cause q relapse Mrs. Heithier went
out to the German Hospital and made the
necessary arrangements. She secured a
large, sunny double room, and will remain
in the hospital to nurse her child back to
health or until the brown eyes are forever
closed in death. Both mother and child
are now in better mental condition than
at any time since the girls attempt to end
the life which had been ruined by young
George Alexander.
Mrs. Heithier is still under heavy ten
sion and the doctors who are attending
Durie have frequently given her soothing
draughtS to prevent collapse: Dur1e no
longer expresses desire TO die she no
longer suffers the terrible pain which tor
tured her, and unless pneumonia or Dlooo-
poisoning follows she has more than an
even chance to recover.
Another favorable symptom is that her
temperature has not gone above 100 az
any time and her respiration is easy and
almost normal. Dr. We'll will make an at
patients life will not be endangered by
the examination. If other means fail the
cathode ray will be brought into use.
Durie now has little to say about the
author Of her trouble and is thoroughly
contented when her mother is with her.
No one except the mother and aunt is
allowed to visit Durie and the absolute
quiet necessary to bring her back to
health is now assured by the German
Hospital management.
The unfortunate girl is certain to re-
ceive every advantage science and good
care can provide for her. Yesterday
Mayor Phelan called at the Receiving
Hospital and waited to see Mrs. Heithier,
When the mother returned the Mayor
called her aside and sympathized with her
and gave her $25 toward paying the ex-
penses necessary to keep Durie at the
hospital. The Mayor also urged the
mother TO come to him for whatever she
or her suffering daughter might need.
The entry on the register at the Ger
man Hospital settles the doubts as to
the girls first name. The mother told
the steward her chiid'S name was Durie,
not Dewey. and it was so entered on the
records. The night the girl shot herself
The Call received a dispatch from Sonora
which gave the girls name as Durie. and
not Dewey. Alexander also wrote her
name Durie in some of his letters.

COUNTY JAIL.

and Worried Until Stricken
With Apoplexy.

OAKLAND, Nov. 19.-Merlin R. Flora,

of apoplexy last Thursday night. He re-
manned unconscious until his death,
about 7 o'clock this morning.
DR.. w. S. Porter, who attended the

Urinary for nearly two years and had
caused considerable trouble at that in
stitution He was discharged as able to
