MOTHER TELLS
STRANGE TALE
Says That Her Daughter Was
Poisoned by Fumes of Drug
Administered by Little Girl
STORY Is CoNTRADICTED
Doctors Declare That Child Had
Died From Natural Causes
and Autopsy Supports Them

Mary Margaret Coleman, three years
and seven months old. daughter OF Mrs.
Coleman OF 524 Third street. died at
l:25 yesterday morning, and at the
mothers request Coroner Leland or
dered an investigation. Mrs. Coleman
informed Deputy Coroner Brown that
on November , she took her little girl
TO Mrs. Fishers house, Welsh street,
and while there Mary Fisher, IL years
old, took Mary Coleman behind an easel
or a screen and caused her 10 inhale
poisonous fumes. On the evening OF
that DAY q few hours later the Cole
man girl was taken seriously Ill and
the mother called IN DR.. Dickson whose
Office is on Third street. near Bryant.
Mrs. Coleman said that DR.. Dickson
had expressed the opinion that the child
had inhaled the fumes Of some poison
Gus drug. The child's condition becom-
ing worse. Dr.. II. 3. kilbourn of 551
Third street was called in and attended
her until she died. The matter was
reported TO the police and Detective Ed
ward Gibson was detailed to make an
investigation.
DR.. Kilbourn was asked yesterday as
70 his opinion concerning the cause Of
the little ones death. and he expressed
the opinion positively that the disease
was tubercular meningitis, a disease
very common among children living
south Of Market street where the air
and ventilation are bad" he added DR.
Dickson, the first physician called in,
Informed Deputy Coroner Mccormick
that he had diagnosed the case as one
~ stomach trouble, and denied emphat-
ically that he had ever told the mother
that the child had been poisoned.
An autopsy performed at the Morgue
last evening by DR.. Bacigalupi showed
that death had resulted from cerebral
tubercular meningitis. which disposes
OF the suspicion entertained by Mrs.
Coleman that her child had died from
the inhalation Of poisonous fumes.

COMMITTEES MAY CONFER.
A rumor reached a member Of the

willing to confer with it, At a meeting
held in the afternoon Chairman john

and the Bav State are not members
of orr association, but will close II the
association requests Mr.. Blanco OF the
Poodle Dog. We are not ready TO call
upon the French restaurants, as we
feel we have the situation well in hand.
The Restaurant Keepers Association
was ready to go on under the old
a agreement between the association and
the unions, which would expire on JAM
uary 81 on the following conditions:
First, that the unions put back the
crews they took out of the Central
Dining Room and the Tivoli Cafe. Sec
ondly. that they cancel all the agree
ments they have enforced from indi-
vidual members of the association;
and, thirdly, that while this agreement
last, they refrain from compelling
members of the association to sign in
dividual agreements.
Before we ask Mr.. BIanco to close
we will await further developments.

The hungry had a wild search for
places to eat yesterday. The leading
restaurants or the city were closed by
the order Of the Restaurant Keepers
Association and the eating houses that
were open were far TOO small to ac
commodate the hungry horde that
clamored for food. Many homeless peo-
pie, who look to the restaurants fo-
their meals, hunted up places that
were open and congratulated them
selves that the ban had not reached
their discovery.
Those who labor in the business Sec
ton of the city took no chances. They
provided themselves with lunches and
passed the closed restaurants with an
independent air. The fair stenographer
and the equally fair saleSlady carried
all sorts of parcels and boxes contain
ing edibles. Music rolls, "phony cam
eras and dress suit cases were pressed
into service to carry the staff of life
and some hard boiled eggs and fxings.

ants read: CLOSED for repairs" and

THIEVES WORK
IN AFTERNOON
Bold Daylight Burglary in
Apartments of Miss Kearns
in the Residence Section
JEWELRY AND GEMS TAKEN
Entrance Effected With Aid
of Jimmie" While Vic
tim Is on Shopping Tour

The detective department is investi-
eating a daring daylight burglary that
occurred in the apartments of Miss b.
Kearns at ALA Van Ness avenue last
Friday afternoon. The burglars en-
tered the front door with the aid of a
Jimmie" and made their escape with
jewelry and gems valued at $500. Miss
Kearns was absent when the crime
was comitted.
The building in which the burglary
occurred is a five-story apartment
house and there is a separate front
entrance for each floor. The crooks
in forcing the door, took daring
chances of being discovered, as people
were passing in and out OF the place
at all hours during the day. Miss
Kearns and a friend started out shop
ping early in the aafternoon and did
not return until nearly o'clock in
the evening. When they walked into
the place they discovered everything
in disorder. Bureau drawers had
been pulled out and their contents
searched and everything OF value
taken.
Two diamond rings, a pair Of pearl
earrings, a pearl studded breastpin
and two jeweled breastpins were
among the most costly of the things
taken. Miss Kearns also lost guam
tity of silverware, several gold rings
and a hunting-case gold watch.
The captain Of detectives was i'm
mediately notified and detailed two of
his men to visit the premises. After
a thorough search they are convinced
that the crime was the work of ex-
perts and that a gang of bold daylight
burglars is operating in the city. The
pawnshops are being watched for the
recovery of the stolen property.

Thinks She Is an Actress.

Helen Lewis, a stranger in a strange
city, with a storage battery concealed
IN her brain and nursing a penchant
for the stage, visited the Office of
Mayor Schmitz yesterday. The tall
ented but misguided Helen demanded
that his Honor forthwith procure a
position for her as leading lady at one
Of the local theaters. She gave such
2. strenuous exhibition of her powers
that steps were at once taken to COM
ply with her demand to a certain ex-
tent. Helen viii make her first pro-

at Sonoma, September 80, 1903.
The proprietors of the Humboldt
House say that Benes has been living
off the earnings of his wife for many
months. They arrived there last
spring and the woman went to work
in the kitchen. Benes hung around
the place and refused to work. Soon
after that they went to Los Angeles.
They left there after a short stay, the
wife leaving her husband and return
ing to work at the hotel and Benes
going to Sonoma County.
He returned here two months ago
and sought out his wife, but she re-
fused to have anything to do with
him. Then he went to Los Angeles
and nothing more was heard of him
till he arrived here on Saturday
When he ran short of funds he would
take his wife's money and when that
clothes. She finally left him, unable
to stand his abuses and threats any
longer.
Among Benes' effects was discov-
cred a long letter written in German
in which he declared his intention of
killing his wife and himself. He
broods over his troubles in the note
anu accuses MS WlIe OF Delng 1QLlnaIe
with another man.
Mrs. Benes brought suit for divorce
against her husband on December 8.
She alleges In her complaint that he
had abused her, pawned her clothes
and even went so far as to strike her
in the face at the corner of Broad
way and Stockton street several
months ago.
CONVERSES WITH FRIEND.
Benes, while conversing with a
friend last night, said
Nine days ago / sent my wife's
sister to San Francisco to see If she
could not induce my wife to return
home. / wanted her to come back and
live with me, so that we might have
happy Christmas. Last Friday my
sister-in-law returned to Los Angeles
and said that she had been unable to
do anything with my wife. She said
that my wife said that she was never
going to come back. She was happy
and having big time and didn't want
to come back.
IT then left Los Angeles and arrived
here Sunday. I Immediately went to
her apartments and tried to get her
to return and told her that intended
to kill her If she did not come home
with me. My efforts, however, were
unavailing. l have had the revolver
for a long time and brought 1t with
me to force her TO come back with
