The Fire at the Old Union Hall Under InveS-
 tigation.
Fire Marshal TOwe Is Actively Searching for
 Motive.
Certain Circumstances Have De veloped That Require to Be
 Cleared Up.

Fire Marshal Towe has been making a quiet investigation into the cause of the fire Monday night which destroyed the old Union Hall on Howard street, near Third.
 From the results so far he is strongly of the opinion that the fire was not due to an accident, but was the work of an incendiary. He is now searching for motive, and although he sees difficulties staring him in the face he does not lose hope of surmounting them.
 What first aroused suspicion was the fact that the flames had gained consd erable headway before the alarm was turned in. The flames were in the rear portion of the building, where the stage was situated and were burning hercely when the firemen reached the scene. An other suspicious circumstance was the fact that the place, which had been used as a skating rink and dance hall, had been closed that night.
 In the course of his investigations the Fire Marshal ascertained that Nels A. Lybeck the lessee of the premises, had a few days before the fire rented a vacant store at 606 Fourth street for the purpose of starting a mucilage factory. Further than that he discovered that a number of valuable articles had been removed from Union Hall to the vacant store the day previous to the fire and large num- Der of skates had been sent to San Jose.
 Lybeck had the skates, furniture and other effects in the building insured for $2000 and he made a statement to the Fire Marshal that their value was in the neighborhood of $3500.
 The Fire Marshal had an interview yes terday with Lybeck, and he stated that on the night of the fire he and his wife, who occupied three rooms in the build- ing, left the place about half-past ' o'clock They returned about 10 o'clock and remained about fifteen minutes. His wife thought she Smelled something burning and he examined the stage and rear portion, but could find no trace of fire. They left the place about 1915 o'clock, locking it up, and nouced the flames later while they were on How ard street car. He said he was at a loss to account for the fire unless it had arisen from one of the matches which he used in making his examination of the stage when his wife thought she smelled fire.
 T am not nearly through with my in- vestigation yet, said the Fire Marshal yesterday. There are a number of SuS- picious circumstances which 1 have not had time to thoroughly investigate and at present 1 am not in a position to state coming here Lybeck was in Paso Robles, and his place was burned down there in October last about l o'clock in the morn ing and he does not know how the fire originated He has been running the Union Hall as a skating rink and dance hall since last December, having leased the premises from the Market Street Railway Company. I am strongly of opinion that the fire was the work of an incendiary, but I have nothing definite as yet to point to the guilty person."

HOSPITAL CORPS
 TO CHANGE ABOUT
All the City Surgeons Must Do Duty at the Branch in
 Golden Gate Park.
Why the Board of Health Ordered Drs. Hartley and Stafford to Shift
 Tn cir Stations.

Dr. Morse, chairman of the Hospital Committee of the Board of Health has inaugurated a plan he has had under con- sideration for some time whereby Lne sur geons in charge of the Harbor and Park Receiving hospitals shall alternate at the two stations. Whether the surgeons at the central hospital will be shifted about has not been decided yet, but it is likely that they, too will have to take their turn at the branch stations.
 The object of this change is to give all the surgeons an equal chance, or at least the two park surgeons a chance with the harbor doctors. The corps of city sur geons are paid a nominal salary-S5 a month--depending in measure on emer- gency patients who retain the services of the city doctors after they are able to be removed to their homes. A great many patients are treated at the Harbor branch and the doctors there secure many pay patients, while cases at the park branch are rare. As the surgeons at that station a day they have little time to devote to private practice, and are practically linn fted to their salary.
 Al present Drs Stafford and Wymore are stationed at the park, while Drs. Hartley, Hill and Deas are at the har- bor. But pr. Morse has ordered Hart ley and Stafford to change stations as nlan. Dr. Hartley's friends were surprised when the order was Issued and could not understand it's meaning, but Dr. William son of the Board of Health, in the ab- sence of Dr. Morse, explained the matter last night. He said that Dr. Hartley was one of the most competent surgeons in the service and the change in no way reflected upon him. After three months service at the park he would be brought hack. either to the harbor or central hos nital and might not have to serve there again for many months.
 1t is expected that either pr. Hill or pr. 1Vymore in a few days. The surgeons at the central hospital are making a strong fiqbt against being disturbed but it is eX- pected that they, too, will have to take their turn at the park.

LUNINC HUNTS
 FOR WHITFIELD A Hot Chase for the Man ager of a Millionaire's
 Estate.
He Is Either Hiding at Home or Fishing-For His
 Health.
Residence of the Mill Honzire

There Is a merry chase for George Whittell, president of the Luning Com pany. Officers and detectives who have been searching the city to serve papers in the million-dollar suit of Oscar Lun- ing, who ayers that Whittell has withheld vast sums of money, have been disap- pointed in finding the defendant, whose whereabouts is a mystery.
 At the law office of Attorney Lang horne and at the office of the Luning Company it Is announced that Whittell has gone fishing, but prominent sports and anglers are positive that he knows nothing about fishing. In sporting circles his angling proclivities were never heard of by the men who keep books on these affairs and who, as a rule, know where and when prominent men do their fish ing. After digesting the whole affair At has much to do with the case. has con- cluded that Whittell is not fishing, but that he is cutting bait somewhere in hid ing.
 The search for the millionaire manager of milionaires' estates is growing very warm. It is said that if Whittell is hiding in the sacred precincts of his domicile out on California street he will be obliged to remain in Information for a long time, because Sleuths lie in ambush all around the place. Should the defendant try to make a haSty flight he will have a serious time trying to run the blockade.
 It is supposed that Whittell has been in consultation with Mrs. Cunningham, one of the heirs, who made nasty trip from Los Angeles after the publication of the account of the suit in The Call. He has also been in consultation with his brother and his brothers wife, or so the detec- tiveS are said to believe.
 The brigade that has gone forth armed with process papers of the court in sex tuple form has full faith that the de- fendant will be dragged or forced from his hiding place within a few days.
 Wherever the Luning manager turns, if he leaves the fishing camp or his home, or wherever he is, he will find men with due processes of the Superior Court. And wherever he goes, unless the case is com promised. he will see fighting Attorney Parker of New York. At his office the story is given out that MT. Whittell will have exhausted the fishing business and cured his face of poison oak by Monday. Until then there will not be an open rupture, unless the defendant should, so officers say, attempt to leave his house under the apprehension that the path is clear

ROW OVER A BILL.
Officer Gillen and Butcher O'Brien
 Get Things Badly Mixed.

A general row which led to an arrest and visit to the City and County Hos pital occurred yesterday afternoon at the 276O Twenty-third street. From the state a butcher shop at Twenty-fourth and Hampshire streets, it appears he went to the residence of the officer for the purpose of collecting a bill due him for meat supplied. On making his business known Gillen is accused of having used rough language and to have knocked the butcher down and at the same time called to his wife to bring him his gun. This, it is said. she did. and when she arrived upon the scene she proceeded to use the butt end of it on the head of O'Brien, who by this time was lying on the floor.
 What followed is not recorded until Gillen and his brother officer, l.. Harri- son, appeared at the Seventeenth-street station with O'Brien in charge. O'Brien was booked on two chargeS-one for dis turbing the peace and the other for bat tery. He promptly put up $25 bail on each charge and immediately went to the City stitches put in his scalp on the back DOT tion of his head, besides having his nose which was turned to one side, made straight. In addition to these injuries both his eyes were discolored All of these discomforts he claimed he received who aided him in the chastisement of the butcher who went to collect his bill
 From the friends of the injured man it is claimed that this is not the end of the trouble. OBrien has a host of acquaint- ances among the politicians of the Mis- that they will urge him to follow the matter LID.
