Contentment
and Correct Dress!

Content1ment and correct dress 90 hand in
hand. III your dress OF hat or shoes lack taste and good
style, you can take little real pleasure in them. The Hub,
therefore, deems it no more than its duty to its patrons to
pay equally as great attention to the correctness of it's styles
as to quality, intrinsic excellence, and moderation of price.
And we can conscientiously say that the styles shown here
tins Fall are precisely the same as those in vogue in the
very largest cities.
IN DRESS GOODS and Waistings and Domestics
we nave never shown SO lovely and diversified a line as
this season. 1t contains hosts of charming weaves, new
shades, colors and patterns; and the woman who cannot
make a satisfactory selection from it must be hard to please.
indeed; And prices are the very least that true goodness
and reliability will permit.
ALL OF WINTER for
women are also to be found here in excellent variety and
at pleasant prices. Underwear, Corsets, Hosiery, Gloves,
styles. o
AS TO MILLINERY, we're being kept exceedingly
BUSY because OF the exquisite good taste of every Hat we
turn out. Many shapes, styles and trimmings to choose
from; and prices that are the essence of moderation.
Suppose you come and see for yourself. Prompt and
courteous attention whether you buy or not.

WHISTLE BLOWN
At WRONG TIME
Untimely Blast Warns
Two Burglars Who
Are at Work.
Officer Is About to Make
Capture When Mistake
Is Made.

The untimely blowing Of a police
burglars in the butcher shop of Thorn
as E. Millar at Union and Mason streets
| Monday night. The crooks were at
work in the shop and a police officer
was within half a block of the scene,
when the shrill blast of a patrolling SER
! geant's whistle alarmed the burglars
and they made their escape. The off,
Ger who blew the whistle was not aware
Of the crime and was calling for his
men. according to regulations, at the
time.
1t was soon after midnight when Po-
liceman John Evatt received informa-
ton that burglars were at work in the
butcher shop. He was about two blocks
from thu place, but started toward Ma
son and Union streets with every pros
pect Of a good capture. He was within
half block of the corner, when Ser
geant Phil Prayer, unconscious Of
what was happening, sounded his whis-
tie on Mason street, near Filbert, and
awakened the crooks to a sense of dan
ger.
One OF the burglars, who was acting
as lookout, shouted to his companion
inside that the police were near and
the latter quickly darted out OF the
door and the pair ran away Evatt
gave chase, but was unable to make a
capture. With the sergeant he returned
to the butcher shop and an investiga
tion was made. 1t was found that the
burglars had used a jimmy to open
the front door and that they had ap-
piled the same implement to the cash
register and telephone box. Their loot
was not extensive and did not amount
to more than 81.
The matter was Immediately reported
to the Central police station, where in
structions were given to all the night
watches doing duty in the section to
keep a sharp lookout for the men, who
are said to have been responsible for
several other crimes of a similar char
acter that have occurred on North
Bealch within the last week

SEEKING HOME FOR
LITTLE INDIAN GIRL
Secretary of Humane Society Anxious
to Find Suitable Abode for
Axina KRUGER.

Secretary White of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. is
seeking a home for Axina Kruger, a
seven-year-old Indian girl from Bris-
tol Bay, Alaska, who is at present an
inmate of the San Francisco Nursery
for Homeless Children, Twelfth and
Mission streets. The life story of the
child reads like a romance and her
trials and adventures form a pathetic
story of human interest.
When Axina was but a baby one of
her brothers murdered her father and
mother. She was taken in charge by
a Mrs. Fred Kruger, a squaw and wife
of a German trader. Two years and
a half ago Mrs. Kruger died and Kru-
ger came to this city with little AK
ina and his own son. The children
were put in charge of Mrs. Samuel
Black of Sausalito and a short time
ago Kruger became involved in trou-
BILE with a woman and fled to Ger
many.
Mrs. Black found that she could not
take care of both children, so she sent
little Axina to the nursery, where she
has remained ever since. Secretary
White has been asked to find a home
for her. She is a very bright child
with gentle disposition, and her su-
periors say she has always been obedi-
ent and an apt scholar.

.LAP|QUE PLEADS
FOR MORE TIME
Second Trial for For
gerry Is Peremp-
torily Set.
Prisoner Spends Years in the
County Jail Studying
Criminal Law.

Jean Lapique was a pathetic figure as
he stood at the bar in Judge Cook s
court yesterday, with a bundle of pa
pers on the table in front of him, plead
ing for more time before going to trial
for the second time on a charge Of for
gerry He refused the courts offer to
appoint an attorney to defend him, say
ing he preferred to defend himself The
case was set for trial yesterday, and
when it was called Lapique made mo-
tion that new defendants be added in
the case, which the Judge denied. and
Lapique took an exception. The Judge
asked If he was ready for trial, and he
renewed his motion. The Judge cut him
short by telling him to be prepared to
go to trial on December 9, to which he
took an exception.
Lapique has spent the last eight
years in the County Jail, where he, is
known as the lawyer prisoner. He was
we'll known in the French colony and
made money by buying and selling
lodging houses. He was arrested in 1895
On charge of felony embezzlement.
The complaining witness, was an old
Frenchman, who accused Lapique Of
embezzling $140O. He was held to an
swer on September 6, 1885, and the case
came to trial in Department of the
Superior Court the following December,
the jury disagreeing. At his second
trial, on April s, 1896, he was convicted,
and on April Is he was sentenced to
serve eight years in Folsom peniten-
tiary. An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court and he was granted a new
trial, but on March u, 1885, the case
was dismissed owing to the INSULT
cheney. of evidence, the old man having
died meantime.
Lapique was at liberty till the follow
ing November, when he was arrested
on a charge of forgery. He was ac-
cused of forging the name Of Louise
Lagarde as an Endorsement on the back
of promissory note for $500 drawn by
Philippe Maysounave in her favor The
case dragged along in the Police Court
till October 2, 1899, when Lapique was
held to answer On March z, 1900, he
was convicted by a jury in Judge
Dunne's court, and on October 20 was
sentenced to serve nine years in Fol-
som. Since then he-has been granted a
new trial and the case transferred to
Judge Cooks court. On the forgery
charge he has persistently refused to
have an attorney and has conducted
his own case.

EXECUTORS MUST
PAY THOUSANDS
Jadge Coffey Files a
Very Sensational
Document.
Compels Attorneys Galpin
and Bolton to Give
Back Money.

Judge Coffey intimates, in a docu
ment filed with the County Clerk, that
the executors of the estate of Amelia
X. Scott have grossly mismanaged the
estate. In settling the accounts of c.
M Gerrish, Charles S. Tilton and
FRANK Garcia, the court finds that they
exceeded their authority in using mon
! eys OF the estate and gives them until
the 10Th OF thisfmonth to pay back the
! sum OF $4,000.
| Inc law firm Of Galpin & Bolton
| are mixed up in the legal tangle. which
almost amounts to a scandal Messrs
Houghton & Houghton, attorneys for
lne residuary legatees, are pressing the
nght against the lawyers and executors
and thus far they have been upheld bv
the court. On Tuesday last the attor
neys for the legatees appeared before
Judge Coffey and demanded that the
powers of Executor Frank Garcia be
suspended. He is alleged to have
brought about all the trouble. Judge
Coffey postponed action until the 25th
In order that the executors might obey
the order he made to return the mon
eys they drew from the Donohoe- Kelly
Banking Company's bank.
Probably the most sensational part of
the entire proceedings is the order of
Judge Coffey that A e. Bolton of the
firm of Galpin & Bolton pay $1,000 t.
John B. Garland. attorney for Charles
S. Tllton. one Of the executors. 1t APP
pears from the records that Judge Cot
fey made an order allowing $4,000 coun-
sci fees TO the attorneys of the execu-
fOrC ~ q =
this amount and paid over to Attorney
Garland the sum of $3.50. The latter
rotested and Judge Coffey saw the
justice of his complaint. In his find
ings of fact" the court ordered that
Bolton pay $1,000 to Garland out of the
slm he allowed for counsel fees.
COURTS FINDINGS.
Il find' said Judge Coffey, that
the items on the credit side of the. Sec
ond annual account, amounting TO
$16S6 13. including $3.50 drawn from the
bank to pay the expenses of defending
the will upon the contest for it's admis-
sion to probate, are an improper credit
and ought not to be allowed, excepting
the item of June Is, 1899, by publication
notice Of time and place for proving Of
the willis so, which is allowed. Total
amount dlsallowed on this item,
1851 g.
And as the executors did on June
II. 1901, without any order of court,
draw from the funds of the estate de-
posted in the Donohoe-K Kelly Banking
Company's bank the sum of $1560
which sum was used by said executors
in part payment of the above disal-
lowed item of costs, the said executors
must be charged with interest on said
sum of 1880 at the rate Of 7 per cent
per annum from June II, 1901, to the
time of the payment of said money
back into the estate, or until the same
is deposited in the Donohoe-K Kelly
Banking Company's bank to the credit
of the executors of the estate"

element amongst traders who bought il

the buying thus attracted was not suf-
ficient to offset the selling TO realize by
