BLACK TO DEFEND HER.
Retained for Negress Who Got Old
 Platt's Cash.

New York, Oct 6.-Ex- Governor Frank s. Black has been retained by Mrs Hannah Elias, the negress, as as sociate counsel in the suit which the aged John R. Platt has brought against her to recover nearly $7OO,O0O which, he alleges, she eXtorted from him by threats to expose their relations. The suit is now on the regular calendar of the supreme court and is not likely to Rbe reached for trial for at least two years.
 Tn the meantime Mrs Elias is re- strained from disposing of any of her real estate, several valuable city par cells standing in her name, and the nu- merous financial institutions in which she has deposits have been enjoined from paying out any of the cash be yond an allowance for her living fixed by the court.
 This injunction was made permanent by Justice Blanchard. An appeal was taken by Mrs Elias. No date has been st for the hearing of this appeal by the appellate division, but it is ex- pected that it will be held in the latter part of this month. The argument by MT Black.
 
 record is Washington BTauns, the law yer whom she called in before she was arrested for blackmail and who defended her from that charge when the case was dismissed in the TombS police court MT Brauns confirmed the report yesterday that ex-Governor Black had been retained as associate counsel. He said that there was noth- ing new in the case and that the re- tention of MT Black by Mrs Elias at this time had no particular signifi- cance "He was retained" said Mir Brauns, because consider him one of the ablest lawyers in this country" ]" Ex-Governor Black said that his un- derstanding of the matter was that his firm had been retained, although he ad- mitted that he personally would prob ably have charge of the litigation as far as his firm was concerned. He said that he had given no attention to the matter yet and was unfamiliar with the details of the case.
 ls It was reported that MT Black had received retaining fee of $15,O GOO, or $10,OO0 less than was at first demand ed. Neither he nor MT Brauns would discuss this phase of the matter. Mrs Elias is still in the country with June upon the advice of her physician l to recuperate after the exciting exper- | fences incident to the bringing of the suit by MT Platt, and her subsequent arrest for blackmail when the doors of her home in Central Park West were battered down at midnight.

GOOD PLACES
ON THE LIST
Gossip in Political Camps That
w. Frank Pierce VIII Be
Appointed Prison Director

The appointment of W. Frank Pierce
as Prison Director to succeed R. NJ.
Fitzgerald would not surprise we'll post
ed politicians. 1t is reported on good
authority that the name of Pierce is
| already inscribed on the Governors
slate. 1t is common gossip that neither
Senator Charles NJ Belshaw nor Col
onel Charles Sonntag is quite accept
able at the executive office for the posi-
tion Of Prison Director. The Governor,
it is said, entertains high regard for
Belshaw as a Native Son and as a
statesman, and for Sonntag as a col
onel and a diplomat, but neither re-
sides in Alan eda County. w. Frank
Pierce, it is said, possesses all the ele
ments of a good Director as we'll as
the additional advantage of dwelling
in the county of Alameda. He is presi-
dent of the Standard Electric Company.
In the memorable Mckinley Presiden-
tial campaign of 1900 he served on the
executive committee of the Republican
State Committee.
United States District Attorney
/ Woodwork remarks that he will not
appoint any person to the position of
First Assistant United States Attor-
ney, made vacant by the death of Ed
ward J. Banning, unless the appoint
ment of such person shall be satisfac-
! tory to the two United States Senators
from California. He says he does not
desire to take all the responsibility
upon himself. 1t is fancied that Sena-
tor Perkins, with the assistance of Con-
gresham Victor II. Metcalf, viii be
able to suggest for the place some
young lawyer of Alameda County, and
that Senator Bard may readily acqui-
esce in the suggestion. The two Sen
ators easily came to an agreement
respecting such lucrative places as Col
lector of the Port, United States Dis
trict Attorney and Surveyor of the
Port. The Naval Office is the only
known point of disagreement, and here
is the true inwardness of the situa-
ton in respect to this position: Per-
kins expresses a preference for Rails
ton, Bard recommends Cutter and the
President is quite well satisfied with
the incumbent, who resides in Alameda
County.
Judge ]. W. Mckinley of Los An
geles, a regent of the University of
California and a well-known lawyer,
is in San Francisco. He frankly says
that he is candidate for delegate at
large from this State to the Repub-
lican National Convention.

PATTOSIEN WILL RETIRE
ACCOUNT OF ILL HEALTH
One Mans Misfortunes Benefit
an Entire Community.

The marvellous success that has at
tended the sale of furniture by the Patio
sien Company in the Mission has been
the chief topic. of conversation in furni-
ture circles during the past ten days.
An enormous quantity of merchandise
has been sold and at prices that would
seem to confirm the announcement that
Mr.. Pattosien has fully determined to
retire from the business. Aside from
these facts there were floating about va
rious rumors as to Mr.. Pattosien's even
tual plans. To set at rest these sto-
ries an interview was arranged and the
following information elected from Mr..
Pattosien, the founder, president and
manager of the company. Said he:
There are, L am aware, numerous ru-
mors afoat concerning me and the fu-
ture of this business. It Is said that I
have rented a new and much larger
building on Mission street, not far from
Third Also that our present store, after
the present sale is finished, will be re-
modelled into an apartment house, with
stores on the first floor. Again, that this
business is being eagerly sought by
large furniture dealers Of this and sur
rounding towns. / do not deem it worth
while to specifically deny these and every
story that may be started, but for the
benefit of those interested would say that
following the advice of my physician
am soon to retire from active business
until I can regain my lost strength, due
to the severe accident l met with in be-
ing thrown from my buggy several weeks
ago. A meeting of our board of directors
was called, and by resolution it was
unanimously decided to close up the
business by holding an absolute bona
fide closing-out sale. That we have done
this has been evidenced to every pur-
chaser by the noteworthy cut in prices
that has marked the sale. Our prices
have never been equaled by any other
sale recorded in San Francisco. It may
be asked by some why / have decided to
close out this business, why it should
not continue during my absence under
the care of employees. My candid an
swer to that question is, L do not know
of any one at present connected with this
company who is capable of conducting it
as it should be conducted and as l have
been accustomed TO conduct it. / would
therefore prefer to clear my mind of all
worries and care and resign myself to
absolute rest and recuperation. My mind
is fully determined and the balance of
this stock of merchandise must be sold
in the next six weeks. 1t means q big
sacrifice, l know, but ones health and
peace of mind is the first consideration"
