How the unfortunate mother is forced
TO cloak the love for her little one

mothers instinct breaks down all bar

boldly with the truth before all, is The
substance Of the greater part Of the
novel
There is some good character delin-
cation in Truscctt's story, especially
that Of the pusillaniuous doctor, and
the author has succeeded in catching
very aptly the narrow atmosphere of
austerity that surrounds the people OF
his story. The theme, however, seem
ingly so attractive TO authors of the
analyzing school, is not one 10 attract

in the piece rise greatly beyond the

MAYORS RIGHT
NOW DISPUTED
Contention That His Power
to Recommend County Ap-
pOintees Is Not Valid

The constitutionality of two provi-
sions Of the charter was attacked yes
terday in Judge Sloss' court and if the
points made by Attorney Theo ].
Roche are held 10 be good. the power Of
tkS Mayof to recommend appointments
for county offices will be abrogated.
The hearing was upon the application
OF Paul Bellemans for a writ of habeas
corpus compelling Auditor Harry Baehr
TO audit his September salary warrant
as deputy in the County Recorders Of
fee Bellemans and four other depu-
ties were employed by the Recorder
without having first been recommended
through the Board of Supervisors by
the Mayor in accordance with section
So article 1e, of the charter. Mr.. Roche
represented the applicant and w. H.
Cobb appeared for the Auditor.
On the admitted statement of facts
il was shown that the Auditor had
complied with the provision of the
charter by applying to the Mayor for
the appointment of the deputies and
the Mayor had made the required in
vestigation as to their necessity, but
had refused TO recommend their ap-
pOintment. Roche contended that the
charter provision was void because it
empowered a municipal officer to have
authority in the county government.
He also maintained that if this conclu-
sion was good, section Of the same
article would be void. as it provides
that county officers shall make no ap-
pointments except as provided in the
charter. With these two provisions
knocked out dependence would be
placed in the county governments law
and the county officers could appoint
their own deputies after the Super
visors have fixed their number and
compensation.
In this instance the Supervisors have
already fixed the number and salary,
having i2cluded in the last budget an
item Of 5000 for five extra deputies in
the Recorders office. The budget was
signed by the Mayor
Judge Sloss took the case under sub
mission and his ruling will involve the
manner Of appointment Of deputies in
oil Of the county Offices.

Wells-Fargo Management to
Disclose Value of Large
Estate Moved to Nevada

An interesting half-hour yesterday
devoted to the return on the citation
for the appearance of President Homer
S. King and Cashier Frederick l.. Lip
man of the Wells-Fargo Bank to ex-
plain why they refused to give infor-
nation regarding the value of the es-
tate of J. M. Douglas. Mr.. King was
not in court, but Mr.. Lipman was pres
ent with his attorney, Alfred Sutro,
who opposed the proceedings and sue
ceeded in staying the examination on
the ground that the required five days
notice had not been given in the cita-
ton. Then another citation was is
sued, returnable next Friday.
Mr.. Sutro said that the matter was
an important one for the bank, which
did not want to divulge the business
of it's depositors; but he said that if the
officials were properly brought into
court they would willingly give the de-
sired information.
Douglas estate, consisting of securi-
ties, was on deposit at the Wells-F'argo
Bank at the time of his death, and Mr.
King was one of the appraisers ap-
pointed by the court to fix its value
He did not act, but the other apprais-
ers reported the property to be worth
1aore than $614,000 This inventory was
withdrawn and Mr.. King was named
as one of the reappraisers, but report
ed, with the others, that no estate had
been submitted to them for appraise-
ment Then it was discovered that the
heirs had caused the removal Of the
estate to Nevada, ostensibly for the
purpose of evading the payment of
$4,000 inheritance tax to the State OF
California.
Mr.. Sutro suggested that the proper
proceeding would be to send a personal
representative of the State to Nevada
to recover the property, or at least to
cite the persons there interested to
state its value instead of calling upon
the bank for the information.
Judge Coffey stated pointedly that
Douglas was a customer of the bank,
and he was succeeded by the Douglas
estate, which is now in this probate
court, and therefore the court had the
privileges of the customer. The mat
ter was as important he said, to tbs
State of California as it was to the
bank, which is a creature of the State.
The $1,000 was due to the State and
would have to be paid or some ons
would suffer. The Judge intimated
that the County Treasurer had not
been in hurry to take the matter up
until the court suggested that the
sum might come out of the Treasurer s
bond. And. too, Judge Coffey criticized
the fact that neither the State nor the
Treasurer was represented at yester-
days proceedings. leaving the court in
the nature of a prosecutor.
E. c. Harrison, appointed to appraise
the inheritance tax, defended the cita-
ton and yielded to Sutro's contention
for tho rao1,Iar five davs' notice.

Great hardships in the interest of the
public health are often inflicted by the
medical department of the United

seeking to settle in California The
bureau yesterday prevented the reunion
of a man with his wife and caused the
separation of a mother from her son.
I. Harada, a Japanese engaged in the
sale of Oriental curios in Los Angeles,
came to this city to meet his wife and
six-year-old son who arrived on the
steamship Doric last Monday. He was
doing good business and intended liv-
ing in California with his family for
the remainder of his days. But the
quarantine officials discovered that the
woman was suffering from trachoma,
contagious disease Of the eyes, and
therefore she was denied landing.
The husband was permitted to take
the boy home with him and the mother
will be sent back to Japan until her
eye disease shall be cured, when she
will be allowed to enter this country.
