Unsalaried Relief Leader
Costs City He Came
to Aid a Large Sum

Dr. Edward T. Devine received no
salary for his services in this city, but
for the first three months that he was
engaged in the relief work his expenses
amounted to the tidy sum of S6231.52.
From this must be deducted $1,000, the
amount WHICH he paid for the fine
$2753.5o automobile purchased new for

vine for expenses to July 20. His ex-
pense bill since that date has not been
acted upon and is not obtainable
The largest item charged against the
doctor is S2753.50 for the automobile.
When DIR. Devine wet East the execu-
tive committee proposed to give him an
indefinite loan of the machine, but he
refused the gift and finally paid $1,000
for it. Thus for the three months that
DR.. Devine used the machine S1753.50
was paid out of funds charged against
the relief of the city DR.. Devine's
automobile expenses were not large,
only $5.S5. but there is charged against
him s33750 for automobile hire, while

McHugh Is Jailed After Trying
to Deny Identity.
Says He Tried Only
" to Reason +"
With Edlin.

Of Rhoss moHHsH alsgsa an att:@st s1sSu95
ME hold up" Harry n. Edlin,
i IL grocer, on relief claim was
published exclusively in The
Call several days ago, was arrested
yesterday afternoon on Cough street
by Detectives Mulcahy and Armstrong
The warrant for McHugh's arrest was
issued by Police Judge Mogan on a
sworn statement by Edlin.
McHugh was very much SURPRISED
when the officers took him into Gus
tody. AT first he attempted to deny
his identity, but when the detectives
ordered him to cease his effort at de-
ception he admitted he was the man
wanted.
McHugh was locked up in the OFar-
rell-street station on default of $500
cash bail or $1,000 bonds. He was very
reticent when pressed for an explana-
tion, but finally stated that he would
be able to clear himself as soon as he
saw his friends"
McHugh said that Edlin's claim was
a false one and that he tried to reason
with the grocer, instead of attempting
to hold him up for money. McHugh
admitted he was one OF the men who
raided Edlin's store on the morning
OF April 20, and said he had orders
from headquarters to secure supplies.
According to Edlin's story. McHugh
came to him a week ago Sunday and
told him that his claim for $4,000 would
go through If he would consent to give
up $500. Edlin refused, whereupon.
it is alleged, McHugh threatened to
hold up the claim. telling Edlin he
had already fixed" several merchants
who failed to come to hts terms.
Detectives Mulcahy and Armstrong
are of the opinion that McHugh may
have been in the league with some one
who knows the inner workings of the
relief and finance bureaus. They are
working on this theory now, but so
far have been unable to confirm their
suspicious.
McHugh was discharged from his
position as special policeman for the
relief committee several days ago.
The finance and relief officials say that
McHugh was running a big bluff and
knew nothing about the affairs OF
the Office. An investigation failed to
reveal further facts.

soldiers and a fight followed. The men
were separated by the bartender but
they Immediately retired to the side
walk, where Hyde rushed upon his two
opponents, knocking Washburn down
with a pair of brass knuckles and stab
bing Hooker just below the heart with
a pocket-knife. Hyde then returned to
the saloon. where he was later found by

head. but the other woman had disap-
peared.
The two injured soldiers were de-
tailed at the Preside to take course

HER TROUBLES ARE
NUMEROUS.
Mrs. Wild, After Losing
Husband and Son, Is
Forced From Home
BECOMES REFUGEE
Troubles come not as single spies,
but in battalions.

Troubles come not as single spies.
put In battalions.
Fate has proved extremely unkind to
Mrs. Bertha Wild of late and the cli-
max of a series of misfortunes was the
ago. She thinks that he has willfully
deserted her. Yesterday morning she
appeared at the relief headquarters to
tell her troubles and to see If any
means can be taken to locate him.
Mrs Wild was formerly a Mrs Bur-
CESS. Her husband died and left her
without funds to support her four lit
tie children. Finding that she was un-
able to support them, she had three OF
them sent to the San Anselmo Orphan
age, and the other went to work as an
elevator boy in one Of the large build
ings in this city. Last spring she met
John Wild, who represented to her
that he had money IN the bank. she
says, and was willing to marry her
and support her. He was SO years old
and more than twice her age, but she
accepted his offer and was married to
him after an acquaintance of only two
months.
One month after the wedding the
was found to be missing. He was Is
years of age and although she has wor-
ried much about him. she does not
think that he has met with any serious
accident. She believes he left the city
in the confusion that followed the fire.
She said that after she had been mar
ried some time she discovered that her
husband did not have as much money
as she had been made to believe. and
the 500 which she knows he possessed
he took with him on departing. Her
aged husband was inf1rm with rheu-
matism and when he left he said he
was going to get aid from the Odd Fell
lows, he being a member Of that order.
Before her husband departed they
were living at 54- Grove street. and
after he left the rent was raised and
she, having no money with which to
meet the demand. was compelled to
move into tent in the park with the
refugees. She is living now in tent
317. Jefferson Square.
Since her husbands departure Mrs
Wild has been constantly in search of
him. but has failed to find a clew to his
Whereabouts. She has decided now to
place the matter before the officials of
the local Odd Fellows lodges. and ask
them for aid in locating her husband.

SHIPYARDS ESTABLISH
REMARKABLE RECORD
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-The annual
report of Commissioner of Navigation
Chamberlain states that on July 80 last
the documented merchant vessels of the
United States numbered 25,006 of 6,674,-
S99 gross tons.
The report urges the enactment of the
merchant marine commission bill,
which has passed the senate, including
the provision for American mail lines to
South America, and favors the bill to
abolish the discrimination against
coasting vessels in pilotage charges in
the states from Virginia to Texas. The
summary of the report says:
The years construction was 1921 yes
vels of 41S745 gross tons. Only three
ocean steamers were built. The ton
mage built during the current fiscal year
up to November 10 aggregates $203, 900, =
900 gross, and if the present rate of con-
struction is not checked by strikes or
delays the output of our shipyards will
be the largest in fifty years and will be
close to the output of $4,000 tons in
1855, the year of our greatest construc-
ton.
During the year only 12 per cent of
the exports and imports of the United
States were carried in American yes
sells.
The report says that of 126,754 men
shipped 37,675 We're native, 20, 456 natur
