Nearly $4,000 front foot is a pretty good
price for residence property on Fifth avenue at
Seventy-second street This is opposite Central

dence location In the city. Twenty-Five years
ago it was almost unimproyed and could have
been bought for about the same price as the
best residence property in this city commands
to-day
The above clipping is from the Chronicle. 1t
certainly shows that if this city grows in popu-
lation. lots near Golden Gate Park will become
valuable. Lots can be had there now at very

THE NURSES SIDE.
They Object to Attridge's Plan Of Re-
trenchment and Call Tt Absurd.


While the members of the Board Of Su-
peryisors are engaged in very laudabla
efforts at retrenchment the results OF
their investigation, like the School
Board. work both ways and cause much
adverse criticism.
A recent illustration of this is the case
of Supervisor Attridge, chairman OF the
Hospital Committee
Mr.. Attridge, in his Investigations, has
made the discovery that the expenses Of
the CITY and County Hospital have exceed
ed the appropriation according to the
one-twelfth act. He complains of an army
Of nurses and other attaches who are
Maid 81 to $40 per month with board and
lodging. He does not think the salaries
Maid are exorbitant, but objects to feed
inc so many nurses and is of the opinion
smaller number of professionals.
Now comes the other side-the nurses
who think they have been unjustly crit
icized Their story is as follows:
1There are about twenty-six student
nurses receiving a salary of $40 per month
with board Supervisor Attridge thinks
it would be cheaper to hire a smaller
he did not figure the thing out carefully.
If he had he would have seen that our
board costs the city but IA cents day;
our wages are practically nothing. Fiji
teen trained nurses could not do the work
and their wages would be at least SO each
supervisor Attridge had better look
around carefully and he will probably
find a better scheme of retrenchment than
doing away with the training school OF
nurses and hiring professionals at seven
times as much"

They Are of a Finan-
cial Nature.
PROPOSITIONS TO CREDITORS
THEY WILL ENABLE HIM TO
CONTINUE BUSINESS.
Liabilities Are Said to Be About
$40, ooo-Slow Collections Are
Responsible for the Present
Complications.

Everybody who reads good literature,
every one whose Bohemian taste en-
abled him to appreciate the unreal
things that emanated from THE Lark, y
wherein the discordant muse and mel
ody, the purple cow" the lady with
the green hair and other weird things
that are heard of only in strange
volumes were given prominence before
the public, will learn with honest re-
greet that "Doxey," the earnest, hard
working promoter of the classic, the
novel and the grotesque in literature,
has fallen upon hard lines.
Doxey's book store under the Palace
has been a landmark for book buyers
for years, and the distress that now
effects Mr.. Doxey is due to the fact
that the proportion of readers of raw
novels and those who sought for the
remote literary effects were largely dis
proportional, the percentage being
against Mr.. Doxey. 1t is true that as
a publisher he gave to the world a
number of novels from the pens of
California novelists that might other
wise have beenlost to the world, but this
fact was not sufficient to smooth over
the rough places in the shape of bills
payable.
In other words, it has become neces-
Sary for Mr.. DoXey to notify his credi-
tors that he was in financial difficult
ties and to make them a proposition
looking to an adjustment thereof. The
situation is unsatisfactory to debtor
and creditor. 1t is understood that
Mr.. DoXeys liabilities aggregate over
$40, 900. He has proposed to his credi-
tors that they permit him to continue
business as formerly, accepting his Of
fer to pay 80 cents on the dollar. This
proposal provides for the payment of
10 cents at the end of six months and a
final payment of the same sum at the
end of one year.
This proposition was made on We'd
nesday of this week, but at late hour
yesterday afternoon no meeting of
creditors had been held to consider the
offer. While there is a large indebted
ness to local printers. bookbinders and
paper dealers, the bulk of the indebted
ness is said to be in the East among
booksellers.
The financial difficulties of Mr.. Doxey
Will be regretted, not alone by his many
patrons, but by the young workers in
art and literature. who, through the
famous book mans enterprise and good
will, have been advanced in their pro-
fessions The best wishes of all these
will be to the end that 'DoXey" and his
characteristic institution may continue
as an entity for many years to come.
The local and Eastern creditors are
anxious to assist Mr.. Doxey. and it is
stated that an agreement is being
signed by those most deeply concerned
providing for the continuance of the
business on the old lines. Mr.. Doxev.
in speaking the situation, stated last
evening that financial matters would be
adjusted, and that there would be no
interruption in the affairs of the house
His troubles are largely due to inability
to make collections promptly.

HIBERNIANS WILL HOLD
A STATE CONVENTION
1T rs TO CONVENE THE FIRST
OF NEXT WEEK.
New Bylaws Are to Be Adopted and
an End Put t. Friction in
the Order.

The State Convention of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians will be held at Hi
hernia Hall, 12O Ninth street, on Monday
and Tuesday Of next week. The conven-
ton has been called for the purpose of
perfecting the amalgamation of the
Hibernian order and the Board of
Rrinand to adopt new bylaws.
There has been split in the order for
a number of years, caused by the
question of eligibility to membership in
the order. Some contended that none but
natives of Ireland should become mem
bers, while others held that those of Irish
parents should be eligible. The former
bolted from the order and formed the
from the two orders met for the purpose
Of uniting. Being unable to come to sat
isfactory terms the matter was referred
to Bishop McFaul of Trenton, New Jer-
sey, and through his efforts the two or
ders amalgamated. Since that time there
has been considerable friction in the So
ciety on account of the fact that there
were no definite bylaws governing all
the divisions of the order. 1t is the in
tention of the convention to adopt uni
form set Of laws which will be used
throughout the State.
The arrangements for the convention
are being made by P. J. Mccormick,
State president of the order, and a COM
mittee composed of the following men,
bers of the order: E. ]. Harmon, j. P.
Dignan, C. J. Collins, M. Donohue and ].
J. Moran. At the close of the convention
Tuesday evening the delegates will be
given a banquet at Maison st. German.

MRS. PICKENS TOLD
ABOUT MAJOR MOORE
INvES TIGATIoN OF AN AMOR
GUS EPISODE.
Miss Lissak Was Reluctant to Sign
Her Testimony Given in the
Chinese Bureau
Scandal.

Special Agents Linck and Smith re-
sumed their investigation yesterday into
the charges of immortality preferred
against Special Agent Moore by ex-Col-
lector Wise. Mrs. Sallie c. Pickens, for
merly stenographer for the major, -7as
the first witness called She told the
story that has been already published as
to the assault made upon her by the
major. Mrs. Thayer, the landlady who
ordered the major from the house after
Mrs. Pickens had informed her of the
majors actions; Rolla " Watt, Bert
Schlesinger and two stenographers from
the Appraisers building will be called
to-day and tomorrow
The agents had some trouble the other
day with Miss Madelaine Lissak, stenog-
rapher for the Chinese Bureau and the
immigration Bureau. Miss Lissak had
testified in relation to the manner in
which the business of the Chinese Bureau
had been handled by Meredith. When she
came a day or two later to sign her tes-
timony she saw at the head Of the sheet
in capital letters, Charges against Mere
dith. The lady was shocked and refused
TO sign the transcript. She said lat 1t
against her employer, and she had been
under the impression that she had not
done so.
the transcript was not correct copy of
her testimo and she replied that it was
She was asked whether what she mad
sworn to was not the truth and she re-
piled that 1t was.
Then" said the agents, I'VE will give
you just two minutes to sign your NAME
The lady turned her black eyes appeal
ingly toward the agents, but she saw no
signs of relentng in the faces of the in
vestigators, and within half a minute
from the time the order was given she
had signed her name to the testimony
1t is not known whether the lady's re-
luctance was inspired by fear of Chief
not like to do anything that might look
like an alliance with the prosecution.

TWO VICIOUS
ROBBERS USE
THEIR SANDBAGS
James J. Bagley Held
Up by Thieves.

Robbers who would do murder for a
bit of silver are at present stalking the
streets of the city, looking for prey.
James ]. Bagley, copyist employed in
the City Hall, and who resides at 327
Clementina street, is at present confined
to his home from the result of a hold-up
by them, of which he was the victim. A
ragged cash over his right eye and one
at the base of the brain on the same side
of the head tell the story of the methods
used by the thugs to accomplish their
ends.
Wednesday evening Bagley went to visit
about / o'clock in the morning He was
walking leisurely along on his way home
and reached the corner of Bryant and
Fourth streets, when two men suddenly
leaped upon him. He resisted, but before
he thought of shouting for help he was
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-02-03

felled by blow from sandbag. He fell
on his face, he remembers, but a blow In
the back of the head rendered him I'M
conscious. 1t was some time before he
regained consciousness, and then he was
in the hands of some people who had
found him bleeding in the street. He
finally recovered sufficiently to tell them
his address, and the strangers took him
home. On his arrival home Bagley found
that he had been robbed of $50 and a
watch and chain. A physician was sum-
moned. and Bagley's injuries were
dressed.
Late yesterday afternoon Bagley re-
covered sufficiently to leave his home. and
went direct to police headquarters and
reported the crime. He was unable to
give description of his assailants, as
the night was dark and they had their
hats pulled down low over their eyes. The
suddenness of the blows that felled him
also, rendered it impossible to get look
at the robbers. 1t is thought by the po-
lice, considering the vicious manner in
which the crime was committed, that the
perpetrators are old hands at the bust
ness. but the superstition ends their cal
culations, as they don't know which way
or where to look for a clew that will lead
to their detection
