WOMAN WORKS
A new SW|NDLE
Poses as Guest of st. Fran
els and Orders Valuable
Goods From Local Firms
POLICE ON HER TRAIL
Visits Hostelry and Takes
Names of Prominent Per-
sons From the Register
POLICE ON HER TRAIL

The more prominent of the guests
of the st. Francis Hotel have lately
been suffering considerable annoyance
through the actions of a woman who
has been using their names to secure
goods from local merchants. Fer sew
eral weeks a middle-aged woman has
been daily visiting the st. Francis and
quietly looking over the register
From the list of arrivals she has TAX
en- the names of guests who appeared
to have plenty of means and good
standing at the hotel. With these
names the woman has gone to the
various dry goods stores and millinery
Shops and ordered goods which she
has had charged to the st. Francis
guests.
One mode Of operation was 10 or
der several dresses. in the selection of
which she would display taste that
would readilyysuggest to the salesman
that she was in the habit of ordering
the best. Then she would pick out a
cloak, remarking that she would take
it along with her and instruct the
salesman to send the other articles to
the hotel, where she said the cashier
had been instructed to pay the bill.
When any doubt was entertained i by
the firm as to the woman's Standing
the hotel would be communicated with
by telephone and in response 10 the
query as to whether Mrs. So-and-So
YVES all right the answer would. of
course, be that she was a guest a the
hotel and any reasonable bill would
be paid. But when the goods were
delivered to the guests rooms she
would protest that she had not or
dered them and a great deal of con-
fusion would result.
For several days past a detective
has been stationed in the hotel pa
tiently waiting for the mysterious
woman to reappear, but evidently she
realizes that her game has played it
self out and she is keeping away. The
hotel management has its suspicious
strongly directed toward certain
woman, description of whom it has
furnished the police and the detective
employed by the local merchants.

PROPERTY OWNERS ARE
LIABLE FOR IMPROVEMENT
City Attorney Says They Must Stand
Expense of Bituminizing Point
LObOs Avenue.

City Attorney Long yesterday ad-
vised the Supervisors that the prop
erty owners on Point Lobos avenue
are liable for the improvement of the
thoroughfare under the provisions of
chapter of article Of the charter.
The opinion was requested as the re-
suit of petition 10 determine wheth-
er the city or the Park Commissioners
should pay. the expense of bituminiz-
ing the street. Long says:
THE charter provides that all
parks and squares of the city and
county shall be under the exclusive
control and management Of the Park
Commissioners. But Point .Lobos
avenue is not park, as shown above,
but is a street, and no provision has
been made by charter for the inn
provement and control of Point Lobos
avenue by the Park Commissioners,
was done with the Great Highway
Point Lobos avenue is traversed
by street railway from its junction
with Geary street at Central avenue
TO Ninth avenue and from Thirty third
to Forty-eighth, avenue, or for more
than half its entire length. And it
of Supervisors may even declare Point
Lobos avenue a boulevard under the
power conferred upon it to set apart
as boulevard any street or portion
of street over which there is no ex-
isting franchise for any street rail-
road. :"

.Clairvoyant Warnings Wife

lsmael. the clairvoyant of that

which her husband was plunging, or
having seen it neglected to warn him,
and because of such failure and neg
lect another deputy internal revenue
collector is in trouble Her husband.
who is known to the public as Sack
EFT Cornell. is in Jail and must face a
serious charge.
United States Internal Revenue Col
lector Lynch and Special Revnue
Agent Bert NJ. Thomas some time ago
appointed Cornell deputy internal
revenue collector. He attended faith
full to his duties until March II, on
which cate he received an order from
Thomas to go TO San Luis Obispo. The
deputy went not thither and COM
munication between himself and the
office in this city was severed. In
cidentally ii was learned that he was
reVellng III the joys of his life in34os
Angeles and that patrons of the litter
nal revenue department from Fresno
to Los Angeles had advanced him va
rfous sums of money upon his repre-
sentation that he needed the coin for
travelling expenses and that he would
return the loans When his salary ar
rived.
At Los Angeles he induced United
States District Attorney Valentine to
advance him $50 upon his salary that
had already been collected. Thomas
made inquiries in many places to as
certain CornelPs address in order to
notify him of his dismissal from the
service, but nobody, not even the
clairvoyant knew or would tell.
Finally the wanderer was heard of
in Santa Barbara, where he had bor-
rowed small sums from several per-
sons who were acquainted with Thorn
as and Lynch and who did not sus-
pect that one of their deputies could
by any possibility do anything wrong.
Deputy Frank H. Driscoll was sent
after Cornell and arrested him in the
seaside resort yesterday morning.
The complaint upon which the war
rant was issued charges the prisoner
with having violated the Federal stat
ute which makes it a crime for any
deputy who fails to perform his duties
as required by law. The maximum
penalty is one years Imprisonment.

Heavy Loss to stables.

The loss 10 the Nevada stables, the
burning Of which was told exclusively
in The Call yesterday morning, will
amount to nearly $4,000. Eight
hoi ses perished and some valuable We
hicles we're damaged. To the employees
OF the stables and the firemen is due
great credit in liberating 120 other
animals that were in the building
when the fire broke out. A rumoI
WAS circulated about town yesterday
that the blaze was of incendiary origin
and WAS started by friends Of the
stablemen, who struck some time ago.
Manager Pearce fought the strikers
bitterly. The proprietor. however.
emphatically denies the rumor and
says the fire started near the roof of
she building and was caused by de-
feCtike electric light wires.

MUST PAVE ONLY SPACE
OCCUPIED BY THE RAILS
City Attorney Defines Obligations of
Street Railroad Companies Where
One Track Is Abandoned.

City Attorney Long yesterday ad-
vised the Board of Works that rail-
road companies are compelled to pave
as required by law only between and
on each side of such tracks as are
laid, regardless of wnat space may
have been heretofore occupied by
them or intended to be hereafter used
by them.
The opinion was desired in view of
the fact that the United Railroads
holds franchises for double tracks on
several streets, but has installed sin
gle tracks in lieu thereof. The Board
OF Works thought the corporation
should pay for the paving of the
width of the double tracks. although
but one is being utilized. Long says:
The. law would seem to contem-
plate that street railroads are required
only to plank, pave or macadamize
the entire length of that portion of
the street occupied by the track or
tracks and space on either side of
the rails, together with a space be-
tween the tracks, If there be more
than one. l take it this applies only
to such tracks as arc laid and not 10
such spaces as may have been used
or may be intended to be hereafter oc-
oupied by tracks"

EEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO
TRANSFER ITS LABORATORY
Public Health Commission Decides
That COnsumptive Chinese Must
Re Under Surveillance

The Public Health Commission held
a meeting yesterday at the City Hall,
with DR.. Martin Regensburger pre-
siding. DR.. d. A. Curry, head of the
United States marine and hospital
service, who has succeeded Dr.. Ru-
pert Blue, reported that he had re-
ceived orders from his department TO
remove the laboratory to Angel ISL
and. The laboratory has been ex-
tensively used in connection with the
inspection of diseases in the Chinese
quarters. Its transfer will necessitate
the doing of the work by the local
Health Board. Part of the work con-
sists of performing autopsies on dead
rats found in Chinatown. AS the To-
cal laboratory department has all it
can attend to now it is probable that
this portion of the work will be dele
gated to some of the physicians In the
employ of the board.
The commission discussed the mat
ter of the maintenance of some thirty
consumptive Chinese who are being
cared for at the Oriental dispensary
on Sacramento street. 1t was the
opinion of the commission that these
patients should be sent to a separate
pavilion in the County Hospital. Dr.
Hassier was directed to confer with
the Chinese Six Companies to learn if
they are willing to supply the food for
the patients il the city cares for them.
In the event that such arrangements
cannot be made the Supervisors will
be asked to provide funds for a Chi
nese cook. as is done in the leper hos
pital. Before the consumptives were
taken to the dispensary it was their
habit to locate near undertaking shops
in rooms designated as chambers of
-tranquillity.@ The commission is of
opinion 8thatgthey should be kept un-
der surveillance in order to prevent
the spread of the disease.

told, he destroyed a whole book. After
it was finished he asked Robert Barr
to read it, and Mr.. Bars verdict was
that ut was as good as Plain Tales. -
Not better % asked Kipling. II don't
think it isl replied Barr. "Then I
don't think it Will ever he published"
was Kipling's reply. And the book
was forthwith destroyed.
As has been well said, q mans work
is the expression of his character, and
no conscientious man wants to be
judged by work which he feels to be
unworthy Of him.
But there are other reasons than
this why a writer should occasionally,
at least, tear up his writings. This is
particularly true of the editor of
newspaper. It happens every now
and then in the course of the editor S
career that he finds himself in an alb
normal state of mind. He may be
gloomy, he may be dyspeptic, he may
be laborfng under some great prOvOca-
ton, he may be aroused to a pitch of
excitement or Indignation because of
some occurrence and in such a frame
of mind he must give vent to his feel
ings. The proper course for him to
pursue in such circumstances is to sit
down and give his feelings, and if
need be, his imagination full swing.
He should write as freely as the emo
ton of the moment suggests, and give
his pen unbridled liberty. He should
let all the gloom or bitterness or the
spite or the Indignation within him
come out without stint. 1t viii give
relief. But after he has unburdened
himself he should then tear up his
manuscript and consign it to the waste
basket, and proceed to his task in his
normal state of mind. If all editors
would pursue this course they would
save themselves much trouble and
have a better standing with their
readers.
But the rules should apply to others
as well as to editors. Sometimes when
one has received a. provoking letter
make a bad matter worse. It may be
and make it as fiery, as possible to
the wrath flow out in the ink. But it
is a better rule after such a letter
shall have been written to tear it up
and throw it away, and then pen a
reply in calmness and aIniability. Tt
is in this way that even a high tenn
pered person may give the proverbial
answer which is said to turn away
wrath.
In short, no man ought to commit
himself to an expression in writing
whether it he in public print or in
private correspondence when labor
ing under intense emotion of any sort,
even though that emotion be altOgeth-
err praisewOrthy, for under such con-
ditions one is not himself and is al
most sure to run into extravag ances
A man expresses his true sentiments
when he is calm and in a normal
state of mind and heart.-Richmond
