San Francisco's Chief Executive De-

Property

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-In re-
ply to a threat made by the United
Shipping and transportation company
to tie up the lumber trade of San
Francisco If more police are not fur
nished on the water front to protect
non-union sailors and stevedores,
Mayor Schmitz has refused the request
and virtually defied the association to
make good it's threat.
The associations letter to the mayor
sets forth the claim that the non-union
men are unjustly treated and that in
order to carry on the business of fur
nishing the city with lumber these men
must have protection.
In his reply the mayor states that
the water front is more peaceable now
than before the strike, according to
reports from the police department.
Policemen cannot be spared now from
other places, he declares, for that work.
If the shipping is stopped, as inti-
mated, he says the people of San Fran
cisco will know where to place the
blame.

obtained by the police.
The woman is said to have swal-
lowed two ounces Of laudanum and
was in a dangerous condition when
discovered in her room about 4 O'Clock
She was taken to the emergency
hospital and was reported to be re-
covering early this morning.
Owing to the refusal of the land
lady at the Anjou to furnish any in
formation regarding the alleged at
tempted suicide of one of her lodgers
the police assert, 1t was found nee
essary to send Detectives Dixon and
Cowen to the rooming house to OBJ
tain the desired information from the
landlady.
Temporary Insanity
The detectives said as result of
their investigations that it was prob
able the woman was suffering from
temporary insanity, following quar-
rel with her husband over the furnish
ing of new quarters to which they in
tended moving within a few days.
At first the proprietor of the Anjou
denied any woman had been removed
from the house during the afternoon at
but upon being sharply examined she
admitted the fact, but only gave few
details concerning the attempted sui
eide.
The discovery of the unconscious
woman in her room created panic
in the house, 1t was said by the police,
and the other lodgers were reused to
a pitch of great excitement.
Police Indignant
The police were indignant last night
at the attempt to cover up the removal
of the woman from the Anjou.
They asserted that the officials at
the emergency hospital neglected to
make any report on the woman until
late in the evening, when the morn
ing newspapers forced some informa-
tion from the apparently reluctant
officials.
When 1t was thought that crime
might have been committed at the
Anjou, Detective Sergeant Kelly de-
tailed the two detectives to make a
full investigation, as a report had been
received at the station that the woman
had been poisoned by some unidenti-
fed person.

Jealousy and quarrel with her hus-
band are the alleged reasons that drove
Mrs. Marian Ross, young woman Of
5S3 Central avenue, to attempt suicide
last night about 1O:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Ross and her hspsband, W. f.
Ross, quarreled violently earlier in the
evening, according to the landady Of
the Berkeley rooming house, where both
lived.
Other inmates heard the woman sob
bing after Ross left the apartment.
On Bed Awaits Death
Mrs. Ross retired to her room and
swallowed several grains Of cocaine and
laid down upon her bed and waited for
death. Apparently it was not a sudden
impulse, as the woman took time to
write a farewell note before taking the
poison.
She was found in an unconscious con-
dition by her husband soon after she
took the poison. He Immediately ap-
Piled remedies, had a physician sum-
moned, and then dreading the loss of
time 'phoned for an ambulance and had
the patient hurried to the receiving
hospital.
In a note which she left the woman,
who is only about II years old, stated
that her husband had ceased to love
her and that she desired to die.
By reason of the eact that the woman
signed the name Mary Mcneil to the
note the police are in doubt as to her
real name.
They were quiet and popular at the
house, but little was known of their
affairs.
Sorry She Took Poison
The woman was given the usual
treatment at the receiving hospital,
where she remarked she was sorry she
acted SO hastily.
She was later taken to her room at
