caused by coffee. took it away and

CHECK CHARGED
TO MCD0UGALD
Devoto's Bond, It Is Said,
Only Covers Shortages
Caused by Dishonesty
DELAYS SMITH INQUIRY
Grand Jury Hears Evidence
of Notorious Women on
Jackson Street Resort

The shortage of $15,5 in the city
treasury caused by the cashing of De-
fau1ter Smiths personal check will
have to be made good by Treasurer
McDougald. Devoto's bond only guar
antees his honesty and does not cover
losses caused by clerical mistakes.
McDougald reports that the National
Surety Company offered to contribute
one-half Of the loss If he would cause
Devoto's arrest. but the Treasurer re-
fuses to consider such action
In going over the documents found in
the private desk in Smiths drug store
Douglas Young. the Grand Jury ex-
pert. found evidence that $500 more
than has yet been accounted for was
stolen by the embezzling Tax Collector.
Young expects to uncover more steals,
but the work is difficult, as Smiths
methods were Intricate.
The Grand Jury listened to the COM
plant Of Nellie Burgess. an inmate of
the notorious den at 620 Jackson street.
yesterday. Some friends of hers In
formed Foreman Andrews that she had
important revela tions to make concern
ing the ownership of the resort. Her
evidence turned out to be all hearsay.
The woman averred that there was
In existence a trust in houses of Ill
fame and that she had been prosecuted
by those behind the combination. She
said her testimony would be corrobor-
ated by Bessie Howe, an inmate of the
same resort, but the latter refused to
testify. This investigation turned the
Judges attention from the Smith in
vestigation.
The inquiry into the Treasurer's Office
and the Auditors Office will be resumed
to-day. 1t is certain that indictments
will be found against several in one Of
these offices at the next meeting of the
Jury.
Indictments were found against Ben
japin and Joseph Martin for felony
embezzlement. They were accused by
F. L. Cook. a jeweler at 1712 Market
street. Joseph Martin is now held on
charge of burglary.

A fair sized audience greeted the

juvenile rivals of Williams and

ent shades that make the minstrel man.
Besides the blacked comedians. one
of the features was the club band.
which played the accompaniments for
the plantation melodies and coon
songs.
Little Abe Appleton sang Cole and
Johnson's In Zanzibar" and his child
ish voice captivated the audience. The
rendering of do You Think I'm Santa
Claus?' by Edward Penaluna was
equally good. The second part of the
entertainment was composed of the
farce, 'Ephraim and Rastus" Some
keen buck and wing dancing was ex-
ecuted by the Bert Talbot sextet.

The Pioneer
STIRRING in Early By Geraldine

THOR = ABOUT SAN
FRANCISCO PEOPLE.

Perhaps the best thing in this new
novel, The Pioneer" is the intimate
view it gives of side of Californian
nature which has been recognized as
its best-that tenderness bound in
roughness which blossomed here in the
early days. It is the most distinctly
Californian book that has come from
the press in many day.-Oakland
Herald.
To those who have known and felt
the charm and romance and tumult of
California "The Pioneer" will be es-
peciaily interesting, as the picture it
presents of the exciting bonanza days
is drawn with skilled hand, which
brings into prominence the people and
conditions in one of the most spec
tacular periods of California's his
tory-Toledo Blade.
"The Pioneer" is good love story
in three great scenic panoramas"-
one might web call them-the foothill
country which ends in the Golden
Gate; San Francisco. and the Nevada
desert land of the bonanza days of
the 7c's.-Boston Globe.
The binding is unusual. The illus
trations are in Harrison Fishers best
