HERR REISENAUER LEAVES
German Pianist Quietly Slips Away
After Refusing to Meet
Former Friends

Herr Alfred Reisenauer, the delight
fully inconsequentlal German pianist,
who surprised large audience night
before last by making all kinds of ex-
EDITIONS of himself In Simpson audit
orium, departed for Denver last night,
"unwept unhonored and unsung."
No cheering delegations of social lions
saw him go and no weeping fellow
artists wrung his hands in parting. He
left as quietly as a whipped jade, and
none cared for his going.
Herr Reisenauer was 'indisposed''
yesterday as he had been the night
before. only not so much so. He had
an engagement with Jean de Chauvenet
to play for that artist during the after
noon, but when De Chauvenet called
on him, the dar-as-a-desert Deutscher
sent word down that he couldn't see
him, as he had gone" Mr.. De Chauve-
net took him at his word.
The Gamut club elected Reisenauer
an honorary member at its meeting of
Wednesday night. 1t Is the general
sentiment among the club members
yesterday that the Herr Deutscher' s
name would be withdrawn at the next
regular meeting-and If that isn't pretty
soon, a special meeting will be called
for the purpose.
Len Behymer declares that he will
take up with Louden Charlton, Reise-
nauers New York manager, the matter
of an adjustment of the losses of the
local management. Mr.. Behymer re-
funded money to all ticket holders who
applied yesterday.

LAND GETS REINFORCEMENT
Bobby Burns Once More Crowded Out
Despite His Civil Service
Certificate

p. w. Land, fire department hose
man, was yesterday reappointed as
emergency appointee to the position of
secretary of the fire department and
Bobby" Burns, who is the regular
civil service candidate, was denied con-
firmation by the fire commission.
The fire commission has notified the
civil service commission that it will
refuse to seat Burns on account of
"unfitness and incompatibility."
Burns took the civil service examlna-
ton for the position and passed 1t Sue
Cessfully. Land took the same exam
ination at the same time, but failed to
secure passing grade. Chief Lips re-
fuses to accept Burns and insists on
Land having the position. Yesterday
was the third time that Land was
named as the emergency appolntee,
and under civil service rules can hold
his position but sixty days.

CUT DOWN WIRES
ON HILL Street
ACT INTENDED AS WARMING TO
CORPORATIONS
Street superintendent HanIey Says
Ordinance Must Be obeyed or
Further Trouble Will Fol-
low Immediately

w. A. Woods, deputy in the Office
of Street Superintendent Hanley, and
force of men from that department,
cut down all the wires on Hill street,
between First and Seventh streets, yes
terday. These were overhead wires
and existed in defiance OF the city ordi-
nance that compels all wires on the
downtown streets to be placed In un-
foreground conduits. The crusade was
undertaken on the advice of City
Prosecutor Fredericton, who by this
means hopes to convince the corpora
lions owning these wires that he means
business in his threats to enforce tho
conduit ordinance.
These wires were chiefly stretched
across Hill street from roof to roof.
There are number of similar wires
on Broadway, Spring and Main streets,
but the city prosecutor Is in hopes that
the corporations will take the hint and
comply with the conduit ordinance and
not compel him to cut down these
wires. If they do not comply with the
ordinance within few days the prose-
cutor declares that he will follow the
same plan as that used yesterday.
Between fifteen and twenty wires
were cut down in all. These belonged
to the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany the Los Angeles Gas and Elec-
trio company, the automatic sprinkling
system of the Coulter Dry Goods COM
pany, the Home Telephone company
and Sunset Telephone company.
The conduit ordinance has been in
effect since January /. but the corpora
lions requiring wires and poles in their
business have largely failed to observe
1t. The city prosecutor has warned
the offending companies to remove
their wires and place them in con-
Quits or he would do it and begin
prosecution against them. 1t was in
compliance with this threat that ac-
ton was taken yesterday.

FAINTs IN COURT ROOM
Overcome by Acute Nervousness When
Husband Is Charged
With Murder

Worried and frightened over her FIRST
appearance in court and suffering from
acute nervousness, Mrs. Sadie Kunzler
tainted yesterday morning in Justice
Young's court during the trial of her
husband, who Is charged with having
attempted to kill her.
Nicholas Kunzler, the husband, was
arrested several days ago on the COM
plant of his wife. who charged him
with having threatened her life and
with having attempted to beat her on
the head with q lighted lamp.
Yesterday, when the woman appeared
against him, she was taken i'll and
tainted. Medical aid was summoned
and Mrs. Kunzler was carried to the
justices private office and later re-
moved to her home
Kunzler was put under $500 bonds to
keep the peace. He was unable to fur
nish the amount and was sent to
jail.

he was suspended the officer was al
lowed to go.
Capt. Broadhead said that De Witt
also claimed that Nellie Pendleton. ar
rested Thursday by officer Riley for
vagrancy, had first been asked for
money, and on her refusal to give him
any he arrested her.
officer Riley denies all the charges
against him and says he wants a
chance to vindicate himself. He may
appear before the police commission
with his defense.
He says De witt made up all the
accusations and finally, in justice to
him, acknowledged that the charges
were false.
Whether true or false Riley will
probably not wear his star again.

ambulance as soon as possible and took
the girl to the Sisters hospital She
died just as she was being carried into
the hospital We then took the body
to the undertaker's. Lillian was with
her sister all that night and I never
took my clothes off. We all felt ter
rtbly about It and naturally tried to
Keep the story quiet. No one was to
blame and while the accident that
Minnie had at the Del Monte was the
direct cause of her death, she had Ger
tain other troubles which were found
by the physicians after the girls
death.
Lillian wanted to send the body
back east to their old home and she
came to me to help her out. was
willing to give whatever was necessary
of course. I think il was about SITS
that paid out for the undertaker's ex-
penses. l do not say this to make any
boast about my goodness or anything
of that sort I simply felt very, very
sorry for Lillian.
Denies He Is to Blame
II was not to blame in any way. The
police told me that. But I was with
Minnie and did all could to take care
of her while she lived and tried to
shield her name after her death. That
Is all the mystery there was to It, No
one would wish to publish such story
and there are certain things connected
with Miss Blough that no paper would
publish or the readers care to read.
Now this is a simple plain statement
of my connection with the whole
affair"
w. II. Phillips of Long Beach, who
assisted In making arrangements for
sending the body of Miss Blough to
her old home, had no part in the even
ing's revels according to Mr. Helmer.
He said that Phillips was an old
friend OF the Blough family and that
he was summoned to the city by LII
lian after the death of her sister.
The body of the unfortunate girl was
taken to Sutch's undertaking establish
ment on Figueroa street and although
every precaution was taken to keep
the whole affair secret, little by little
1t leaked out and Detectives Cowen
and Boyd were put on the case. In
the light of the recent developments,
the police say that there is no chance
for criminal action unless more evidence
Is found connecting the death Of Miss
Blough with some man, who has not
figured in the case so far.

OFFICER CHARGED
WITH EXT0RT|ON
PATROLMAN RILEY SUSPENDED
FROM FORCE
Aocuser, After DeIiberatlon, Seeks to
Explain, but Chief AubIe Re-
moves Man From the
Department

AS the result OF the arrest Of Frank
De witt, alias Johnson, charged with
extortion from Miss Edith Hammond,
rooming at 1877 East Second street, Pa
trolman M. p. Riley was suspended by
Chief of Police Auble for alleged COM
plicity in the various acts of extortion
which De Witt acknowledged he had
committed.
De Witt was arrested Thursday night
under the name of Johnson, and yester-
day morning when his true name was
ascertained he made the sensational
declaration that he was but the tool of
officer Riley and that on several prevl-
Gus occasions he had acted for officer
Riley in extorting money from women
of the tenderloin district.
officer Riley, in company with his
accuser, was taken before Chief Auble
and Capt. Broadhead, and there he
stoutly denied that he had ever taken
money from women or that he was con-
cerned in the affair for which De Witt
was arrested.
officer Exonerated
After accusing officer Riley early In
the morning, De Witt made a complete
exoneration of the officer later in the
day and said that he had been telling
an untruth when he tried to implcate
the officer in his misdeeds.
Owing to the generation of De Witt
all criminal proceedings against Officer
Riley were dropped, but he is under
suspension. That means he must either
resign or else ask for hearing before
the police commission.
De Witt was arraigned before Police
Judge Rose and his bail fixed at $1,000.
The hearing is fixed for February 81 at
10 O'Clock.
Yesterday morning there was con-

Dewitt Retracts Statement

Following the information given out
by the chief warrant was about to be
made out against Riley charging him
with extortion, but before City Prose-
cutor Reyes had made out the COM
plant De Witt retracted his accusation
and admitted that he was attempting
to shield himself behind Riley.
On this change of front no complaint
was issued, and after telling Riley that

volved in the offense Indicated.
Riley is one of the most active Of
fcers in the department and has all
ways had a good record for reliability
and good service. He Is known to be
brave and successful In his work, and
everyone connected with the police de-
partment was surprised at his arrest.
When confronted with the accusation
against him Riley maintained he was
innocent.
Chief Makes Investigation
In the private Office of Chief Auble
Riley and De witt were both examined
very closely by Chief Auble and Capt
Broadhead. The chief said to the re-
porters: This is n very serious charge
that is brought against one of my men.
] wish it understood by the public that
1t does not affect the department. but
is merely a personal matter affecting
officer Riley.
EARLY this morning had a report
from Sergt. Craig, and after coming to
the office / have made a very careful
examination of the charges. Edith
Hammond who lives at the Brockton
lodging house, 1877 East Second street,
says Riley went to her room several
times. When officer Riley left her
room this man DE witt entered and de-
manded money. He displayed a special
policeman's badge and said if she did
not give him money he would have her
arrested. She gave him SO in money
and a gold watch.
"This man De witt tells us that Riley
sent him up to this woman"
AS the chief said this Riley turned to
ward De witt, who sat near him. and
said piteously: Aren't you going to
tell the truth, Frank? You don't want
to hurt me, do you and see me lose my
iob?'
ct am telling the truth Riley, and
you know it." was the reply.
Following this Interruption the chief
continued: johnson, or De Witt, in
forms me that this is not the only
woman who has been approached in the
same way. He said that he got IS from
Mrs. Lother, rooming at the Newport,
near the corner of Fourth and Los An
geles streets. This man also says that
Riley got the special police badge for
him."
