The San Francisco call., 1899-08-16

| result OF the excitement Her cOndl-
tion was not improved yesterday morn
| ing when she read the disclosures made
! by Detective Tom Gibson and Mr..
| Green. She Immediately sent mes
! sage to Mr.. Green at the Palace Hotel
| and asked him to call upon her. He re-
! fused to call, but said he would be
pleased to talk with her if she would
call upon him at the hotel. Mrs. How
! ard replied that she would do So and
made an appointment with Mr.. Green
for 2 o'clock. At that time. instead of
calling she sent a note stating that she
would be unable to see him till O'Clock,
! and before that hour had arrived she
again telephoned him that she had
/ thought better of her determination, and
would not see him just at present.
Green himself put in most of the day
al the office of his attorney, f. s. Pills
bury, who was not slow to say that had
his advice been taken in the first place
Howard would now be in the clutches
of the law.
T A D. o. Mills of Denver.
1T is a matter of surprise to me,
said Mr.. Pillsbury, that there has been
so little knowledge displayed by the
newspapers concerning Green. He is

lis D. O.. Mills in California. In 1893-94
The built the Lake street elevated road
in Chicago, a big undertaking. He has
been a successful promoter on many

name has been identified with many
vast enterprises He sold the seven

besides this, he has organized numer-
Gus tramway companies and banks.
Chief Of Police Lees had kilograms
sent broadcast yesterday for the ap-
prehension Of Howard and hopes to
have him in custody in a short time.
On the chance that his man may still
be in the city, he is having a close
watch kept for him. Detective Gibson
was down at the dock yesterday when
the steamer China sailed in On the
chance that Casey and Kelly, who had
promised Ted Alexander that they were
coming back, might be on the ship.
They were not, or if they were he did
not clap eyes on them.
Attorney Beatty who has been acting
for Howard pooh-poChs the whole story
told by the police and Green. He says
he knows nothing regarding the where
abouts of his client, but says he is more
than q years of age and would use his
judgment about surrendering himself
TO the police.
Howard's Wife Is Brave.
Unrest and sorrow have come to Au-
gustus Howards pretty home at 1925
Pine street. All day yesterday the door
bell was rung by inquiring newspaper
men and sympathetic callers, but few
saw the wife of the absent capitalist" ."
The publication of the facts of her hus-
bands alleged fraudulent operations
has unstrung Mrs. Howard. Deep rings
around her eyes and a haggard express
sion on her face indicate the mental
strain she has been laboring under dur
ing the past twentyfour hours. She
was attired in deep mourning out of
respect to a departed loved one, and
her somber clothes only emphasized her
sorrowful appearance. To a represen-
tative of The Call she stated last night
that the presence of the detectives in
her home on Monday night had been a
terrible shock to her; that she wonders
! whether she is suffering from a horri1
dream, and often thinks that she will
wake and find it all unreal.
