Mother and Three Children Left Des-

Father.

Living a the Salvation Army headquar-

are a mother and three small children
destitute and without immediate hope of
betterment of their condition The
mother is Mrs. c. B. Thomas who has
been in this city for month. searching
for her husband from whom she has been
separated by most unfortunate mistake.
Early in May Mr.. Thomas left Los An
gelcs, where he had failed to make a liv-
ing. He came to this city, hopeful that
a new field would present better oppor-
tunltleS to secure work to support him
self and family. His plan was to have
his wife and children leave Los Angeles
on the steamer which arrived in this city
on May oath. Circumstances made it inn
possible for Mrs. Thomas to quit her old
home and embark for this city on that
vessel. She was delayed ten days at the
end of which time she and her children
Salled from Los Angeles bound for San
There was no doubt in her mind that.
when she arrived here, her husband would
be on hand to give her protection and
a home. Upon discriminating Mrs. Thomas
sought for her spouse in vain With her
cnl a5 ranging from 3 to II years of

but no husband appeared Mrs. Thomas
finally took lodging at the Golden Eagle
Hotel, but her purse was of the lightest
and she was soon forced to ask for out
side assistance. The case was reported
to Chief of Police Lees. but no signs of

The wife is strong in her belief that
Thomas must have accepted a position
out of town. thinking that she and her
children were still in Los Angeles. The
case has been reported to the California
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. This organization, with the
Womans Shelter. have secured a tempo
rary home for the mother and children.
Mrs. Thomas is a comparatively young
woman, of COmely appearance and of
marked refinement. She is now seeking
employment and home for her offspring,
awaiting the appearance of their father.

MARTIN IS WROTHY.
Says Secretary Kavane Unjustly Cut
His Expense Bills.

Sheriff Martin is indignant at the way
Governor Cages private secretary, Ka-
Vane, has been shaving his bills for travel
ing expenses. The Sheriff says that Ka-
Vane seems to have usurped the functions
or the Board of Examiners in that re-
spect and has been cutting out nickels,
dimes and quarters from his bills without
reason. He says that items of car fare
for deputies from the City Hall to Broad
way jail to get prisoners, and from there
TO train or boat, have been knocked out
While necessary carriage hire for use
Of insane patients and dangerous Grim
inals has been shaved without justice or
reason.
The Sheriff denies. Kavanes alleged
statement that his deputies charged 81
for each meal when away from home.
Regarding kavane's statement that depu-
ties unnecessarily remain over night when
conducting prisoners and insane patients
to the prisons or asylums. Sheriff Martin
says 1t is untrue. Insane patients are
controlled entirely by the Lunacy Com
missioners who order their commitment
forthwith. AS commitments are made
during the day, the Sheriff has no choice
In the matter, but must send them to the
asylum on the first train. which is in the
afternoon. The deputy is consequently
obliged to remain away all night. The
Sheriff was obliged to visit Sacramento
TO see that his bills were not cut I'M
justly and Kavane expressed his approval
Of them when the items were explained to
him.

Nariolold has developed. DR.. Monroe also
stated that such cases are very rare oc-
currences. Several families reside in the

fering from some of the ailments peculiar
to infancy. Quarantine guards We're put

A preponderancer of testimony is incum-

Mrs. VIM. Jones Sent to the
Pest House.
HER HUSBAND IS THERE
She Was an Inmate of the County
Hospital Until Yester-
day.

Mrs. William Jones Joined her hus-
band at the pest house yesterday as the
last victim of the smallpox. 1t will be
remembered that Jones was lodging with
his wife at the Avon house when he was
discovered to have the smallpox and
was removed to the pest house. This
was during the rush. and Jones was not
removed to DR.. Sullivan's temporary
sanitarium until about "a hours after his
case was diagnosed as the real thing.
During this period his wife nursed him.
After his removalotwo guarantees were
established at the Avon-one by the
city On the outside of the building, and
one by the inmates on Mrs. Jones. Mrs.
Jones resented the precautionary meth
DDS adopted by the other inmates of the
Avon and said so, and some We're there
who championed her cause. AS a result
the house was divided against itself.
and the quarrel as to whether Mrs. tones
and her smallpox microbes should be adj
mitted into the exclusive Avon set be-
came so bitter that half of the Avon
! prisoners would have nothing to do with
the other half. Finally Mrs. Jones be-
came i'll with what was diagnosed as
typhoid fever. The woman had no
means and was removed to the county
hospital. Mrs. Mcdonald, the matron
of the county poor farm, knowing that
Mrs. Jones had nursed her husband
when he was taken i'll of the smallpox.
caused her to be isolated from other sick
charges of the county, and yesterday the
case was pronounced smallpox and Mrs.
Jones was taken across the way to the
pest house.
