for the Arrest of Mrs. A.
Tillman.

Mrs. Mary E. Coe, 1911 Mason
street obtained a warrant from Po-
lice Judge Mogan yesterday for the
arrest of Mrs A. Tillman, a wealthy
widow. on charge OF maintaining a
nuisance in the shape of a cesspool at
S21 Green street, which is owned by
Mrs. Tillman. Diphtheria has broken
out in the neighborhood, which is at
tributed to the cesspool. and all at
tempts to get Mrs. Tillman to abate
the nuisance have failed.
Mrs. Coe applied for a warrant on
Wednesday. but the bond and war
rant clerk thought 1t advisable to send
a letter to Mrs. Tillman, asking her to
call and explain. The letter was sent,
but as Mrs. T1llman paid no attention
to It the warrant was issued yesterday.
Mrs. Coe was armed with a letter
from DR.. P. de Vecchi, which said
that the cesspool was injurious to the
health Of the residents in the neigh
borhood and would breed diphtheria
germs.

Manchuria, Rear Admiral T. Grenet
of the Italian navy. Admiral Grenet
for a year has been in command of the
Asiatic division of the Italian navy.
His flagship was the armored cruiser
Marco Polo. With Flag Lieutenant T.
Scapin he is returning to Italy for as
signment to other duty. Grenet has
been an admiral since 1896. During his
naval career he has smelt powder only
once and that in 1866 when he served
as sub-lieutenant during Italy's war
with Austria.
Among the passengers on the Man
churia was General w. NJ Graham,
U. S. A, retired. With Mrs. Graham
and their daughter the gallant old
soldier has been visiting in Manila and
touring Japan, where, he declares,
there are no signs of war.
Men from some more of the captured
blockade runners were passengers in
the Manchuria's steerage. There were
nine sailors from the German steamer
Romulus; four from the German
steamer Serverus and two from the
Danish steamer Wagga. All three yes
sells were captured while trying to take
cargoes of coal into Vladivostok
The Romulus, after her capture and
while on her way to Japan in charge
of a prize crew, went ashore south of
Hakodate and became a total loss. The
men from the Romulus say the Japan
ese supplied them with slim rations
while in custody, but gave them one
good, square meal the day they were
released.

1T was told them to "go and preach TO
the uttermost parts of the earth,
hence as Christians they went on in
faith, teaching the heathen at home
and sending teachers to the heathen
abroad. The board In reaching it's thir-
ty-second annual meeting came filed
with gratitude and thanksgiving, for in
many ways this had been the very best
year the organization had ever known,
the grand total showing gain in both

In a few days they would have one
more Presbyterial society to add to
their board, as Arizona had come in
with a strong following
The board Is sending out six new

APPOINT MENTS
ARE EXPECTED

In political circles the appointment
by Governor Pardee of Judges Of
the District Court Of Appeals is hourly
expected. 1t is the common expecta-
tion that the incumbent Supreme Court
Commissioners will be named by the
Governor. At the Union League Club
last night the prediction was made by
a leading Republican that Judge A. J..
Buckles of Solano County would be ap-
pointed from the northern district. The
number of aspirants in the north is
large, and there are bound to be many
disappointments when the names of
the prize winners are announced.
The Central District, which embraces
San Francisco, Alameda, Marin, Con-
ira Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara.
Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito and
Fresno counties, contains a legion Of
applicants. There is gossip to the ef-
feet that Judge Henry A. Melvin
stands high in the favor Of the Gov
ernor. Other leading candidates in Al
ameda County are Superior Judges S.
P. Hall, w. E. Greene and John Ellis
worth.
n. Blackstock Of Ventura, who was
recently appointed Bank Commissioner
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation Of Guy Barham, has entered
upon the duties Of his office. He is ex-
amining country banks In Southern
California
There Is a strong impression In
Marin County that Editor Pryor will
be appointed to the Board Of Prison
Directors.

That He Is Unable to Pay

American Oil and Refining Company,
purged himself of contempt yesterday
by proving to Judge Kerrigan that he
is unable to pay his wife, Essie Hol-
brook, whom he is suing for divorce,
alimony as ordered. Mrs. Holbrook' s
counsel sought to show that Holbrook
had transferred $4,000 shares of oil
stock worth SIS a share for the sole
purpose of evading the courts order,
but Holbrook pointed to his petition
in insolvency, filed prior to the filing
Of the divorce suit, and testified that
all the stock he ever owned had been
turned over to John B. Fulton in pay
ment of a debt of $4,000. He also
testified that his expenses now do not
exceed $33 a month and that his pow
erty is largely due to his troubles
with his wife, which have prevented
him from properly attending to his
business. Upon this showing Judge

cause, but renewed the order that

WORKING UNDER
HIGH PRESSURE
Trans-Pacific Shipments of
Freight Have Reached a
Record Breaking Mark
MORE VESSELS NEEDED
Hartman May Soon Find 1t
Necessary to Build a Few
More Huge Ocean Liners

Never before in the history Of Pa
cific Ocean traffic have the Pacific
Mail and the Occidental and Oriental
Steamship companies suffered mors
for the lack of freighting capacity than
at the present time. Although the Har-
riman syndicate has only recently
placed two new and exceptionally large
vessels on the trans-Pacif1c run, freight
is arriving here from the East in such
enormous quantities that the steam
ship companies can hardly see their
way clear to handle it,
On Wednesday the tramp steamer
Indrapura, leased by the Pacific Mail
Company. departed for the Orient load
ed to her decks with about 10000 tons
of freight, and still there is awaitingN
shipment in the same direction $40 car
loads of freight. which has recently
been delivered here by the Southern
Pacific Company and. according to the
records Of the latter transportation
company. there are $50 carloads des-
tined for japanese and China ports
now on the way to this city.
The ManChuria, which arrived yes
terday, will unload her eastbound car
go as fast as possible and Immediate
ly proceed to ship between 12,000 and
$4,000 tons of freight, but even then
the railroad yards and docks OF the
steamship companies will be taxed to
their full capacity to accommodate the
freight that is daily pouring in from
Eastern points. From the present out
look it is believed that the high pres
sure OF trans-Pacific business will con-
tinue for severaFyears at least; that is,
until long afteF Japan and Russia have
entered into peaceful relations. and
with such a prospect 1t will not sur
prise many who are acquainted with
the situation if the announcement is
soon made that the Hartman syndicate
has placed orders for the construction
of more steamers Of the Manchuria and
Mongolia type

for the footpads and in a saloon at
Third and Bryant streets they found
Walter Thomas, a peddler, and John
Purcell, a stone mounter. They ques-
toned Thomas and Purcell, and not
receiving satisfactory answers they
were placed under arrest. They were
later identified by Oksa as the two
men who had robbed him, and Albert
Ramsay, 546 Third street, identified
Purcell as man he saw striking
Oksa. Thomas and Purcell were
booked at the City Prison on a charge
of robbery. When searched Thomas
had 81 40 in his pockets and Purcell
s13 40.

Through his attorney. W. A. Nevills
made hard fight before Judge MUIR
asky yesterday to get further post
ponement of. the trial Of his action
against William Fleming and others
involving something like 100000.
The controversy is over mining stock.
The inability of ex-senator ]. P. Jones
to be here for the trial. which was set
for the 18th inst. caused Nevills to ask
for continuance as Senator Jones is
one of his most important witnesses.
AS Fleming is opposed to the continu-
ance. having come from the East to be
present at the trial, Judge Murasky
was not certain yesterday what 1t was
best to do. SO he took the matter un-
