Lodging-House Keeper Alleges That
Dealer Retained More Than His
ALLEGED Commission

Suit was brought in the Justices
Court yesterday by Mrs. Ameriaue b.
Deussing against Marion Griffin. a

would be sold.
Griffin secured a purchaser for $500
and accepted from him a deposit there
on in the sum of $500. The remaining
$500 was paid to Mrs. Deussing, who
thereupon demanded the sum of $40
from Griffin, that being the difference
between the desposit of $500 collected
by him and $3.50, the commission to
which he is entitled under the terms of
the agreement. Griffin has since re-
fused to pay the S110.

YOUNG. THIEF
IS CAPTURED
Son of a Wealthy English
Jewelry ManufacturerCOn-
fesses tORObbing Employer

A boy and young man were ar
rested last night by Police officers
Hayden and Rheil for having stolen
goods in their possession. The pris-
oners gave their names as Vivian c.
Evershed and Robert B. Collins. Ever
shed, who is the younger, is the son
of A. Evershed. a wealthy jewelry and
cutlery manufacturer of 121 Church
road and 80 Western road, Brighton,
England.
Evershed confessed that he had
stolen jewelry and various other
articles found in the possession of
himself and Collins from a jeweler
named H. c. Warner of Fresno, by
whom he was employed up to a week
ago. The entire value of the goods is
in the neighborhood of $3.50.
Evershed arrived in town in COM
pany with Collins, whom, he says, he
met on a Stockton boat. The two were
caught yesterday while in the act of
disposing of some of the stolen jewelry
to NJ. Stein, who conducts the Royal
Clothing. Parlors at ia Ellis street.
Stein was seen by the officers coming
from the room of the thieves in the
Auburney House at 11S15 Ellis street.
He had just made a trade, giving
young Evershed a fine $50 suit for
stolen property valued at over $50.
The officers became suspicious and
halted Stein, who told them where he
had gotten the stuff.
Evershed and Collins were arrested
in their room and when their effects
were searched an immense amount of
silver watches and some jewelry,
among which was a gold locket con-
tanning a small diamond, were found
The prisoners were taken to the City
Prison and their names placed on the
detinue book.
Evershed admits having robbed his
former employer in Fresno and says
that Collins had nothing to do with
the thefts, but was merely assisting
him to dispose of the stolen goods.
Evershed's father is respected
citizen of Brighton. He is very
wealthy, having a large jewelry and
cutlery factory, in addition to four
wholesale and retail jewelry stores
The youth worked for Warner in
Fresno for four months and claims to
have learned the business with his
father in England. He came to Cali
fornia last October and is but II years
old. A large number of keys were
found on his person and the police be-
lieve that he and Collins intended
burglarizing hotel rooms.
Collins claims to hail from Henri
eta, Texas, and says he owns a bot
Ting establishment there. He is 2S
years old.

WANTS LARGER
POLICE FORCE
Chief Whitman Petitions
Supervisors to Grant Him
Many Additional Officers
WOULD SAVE RENTALS
Asks for Appropriations in
Next Budget to Build Four
Stations on City Property
WOULD SAVE RENTALS

Chief of Police Whitman filed a state
ment with the Board of Supervisors
yesterday TO the effect that the sum
of $780, will be required to pay sal
aries of policemen and other attaches
Of the Police Department during the
next fiscal year. In addition to this
amount, the police patrol will require
$22,505 and miscellaneous expenses will
eat up SIS $50 more. At present there
are 575 patrolmen on the force besides
the commissioned officers.
Whitman asks for funds to pay addi-
tional officers on the force, as follows:
One captain. of police, at $24O0 per
year; two Heutenants of police 1880;
ten detective sergeants, $1S,0 600; five pa
troll sergeants, $500; four corporals,
$5616, and 200 additional patrolmen,
$244,SS0. He also asks that a new rank
be created in the department between
the Chief of Police and the captains
to be known as Inspector of Police"
who would act as assistant to the Chief
and take his place during his absence,
the salary of the position to be s324O
yearly.
To save rentals of $4084 for police
stations Whitman petitions that new
stations be built for Golden Gate Park
at a cost of $250O0, North End for
$4,000, Potrero for $4,000 and Ocean
View for $4,000.
Whitman also recommends that an
appropriation of $500 be made to en-
ploy two carpenters and a painter, thus
doing away with the necessity of de-
failing regular officers on this work
The statement continues:
Our force is entirely too small to
efficiently handle the police work of
this city. A. conservative estimate Of
the population is 425, 900, besides a great
number of people who are in business
here and reside in suburban towns, in
addition to the large floating popula-
ton. Your attention is called to the
! penny wise pound foolish system of
paying large rentals for police stations
when the necessary land is available
for the erection of buildings by the
city"

Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out Ia full the be-
ginning and end Of that terrible disease,
eczema, which caused my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepless
nights.
my babe was born seemingly fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old swelling appeared on the
back Of her head, and In course Of time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size of q
dime to that Of dollar. l used all
kinds of remedies that could think of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared 1t would never
grow again. It continued until my aged
father came on visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
To please him did 80, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has q nice head of hair, her
skin Is as fair as my, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
its returning"
