Many Rights Protected
From Forfeiture and
Destruction.
Taxpayers to Save All
the Penalties for
Delinquency.

At a joint meeting Of three Of the
subcommittee Of the committee on
reconsruction Of san Francisco,
namely. the committee on sps-
ciaI session. TREY L Ford chair
man; on charter amendments, A. Ruef
chairman, and on judiciary and mu-
nicipal departments, Garret W. Nc
Enerney chairman, the following
preamble ana resolution in relation to
The declaration of the Governor of
iegal holidays from day to day We're
adopted:
Whereas, Section 13 OF the Code Of
Civil Procedure reads as follows:
-Whene-er any act Of secular ma
ture, other than a work of necessity
or mercy. is appointed by law or con-
tract to be performed upon a partic-
ular day falls upon holiday, such
act may be performed upon the next
business day with the same effect as
if it had been performed upon The day
appointed
1t is for the purpose Of preserving
the advantages given by this section
that The Governor has declared hoi-
idays from day 10 day since the 18th
Of April BY the prompt and con-
rinued action Of the Governor with
respect 10 these holidays the rights
of all persons are being protected and
and kept intact from day TO day, so
that any duty which any person WAS
required TO perform under law or un-
der any contract on the 18th of April
or on any succeeding day may still
be performed with full effect upon
the next business day following the
present holidays. which are created
from day TO day by the proclamation
Of the Governor
THE many rights which are pro-
tected from forfeiture and destruction
by this action Of the Governor can
not be enumerated. Among the more
conspicuous are the rights secured to
al persons for the foreclosure of mort
cages, the originaIs Of which are either
destroyed or may be now in safes and
vaults which it has been heretofore
impossible to open; also the rights
which arise out Of the protest and no
Ice Of dishonor Of commercial paper;
also the duty 10 present claims against
The estates of deceased persons; also
al payments required to be made
under contracts; also all notices

ant. to any contract; also the second
instaIment Of taxes for the current

quent on the last Monday in April,
but which win not now become delin-
quent until the evening Of the first
business day after the present hoT-
days; also all OF the rights which
would have outlawed on or since
The 18th of April but for the fact that
be rights are secured from outlawry
from day to day by the Governors
proclamation. and finally and most
important of all, the rights which must
5e protected by proofs of loss and the
like notices required to be given un-
Ger policies of insurance.
That these enumerated advantages
which arise out Of holiday are of
very great Importance may be quick
" realized if we consider that of the
second fnstallment of taxes for the
current year payable in San Francisco
there is row unpaid s1.50eoOO. No
moneys are obtainable for the pay
u.ent Of these taxes for the reason
that the banks are not yet open. II
the Governor continues to declare a
holiday from day to day the time is
not far distant when the taxpayer
win be able TO obtain the coin neces-
sary TO make the payment of taxes
and in this way save all the penalties
of delinquency.
These holidays are absolutely nee
essary in order to afford complete pro-
lection to all who hold policies of in
surance covering properly ,icstreyel
By The fire; and it is conceded on all
hands that the collection of the insur-
ance is vitaliy necessary to the future
of this city and State; be it
Resolved. That this committee
heartily commends the prompt action
of the Governor in declaring a holiday
as early as the 18th of April and his
sieadfastness in declaring holidays
from day to day to the present time;
be it further
Resolved. That the committee re-
quests the Governor to continue the
declaration of holidays until it shall
appear TO him that all need therefor
IS past"

AMBITIOUS PLAN
OF MERCHANTS
Hope 10 Convert Van Ness
Avenue Into Shopping
ThOfOughfare.
Will Try to Induce Super
ViSOfS to Consent to
Trolley Line.

The business men who are establish
ing themselves on Van Ness avenue
lave an ambitious scheme to make it
4 permanent and fashionable shop
ping thcronghfare and they will make
an effort 10 have a trolley line placed
on it. They do not plan an ordinary
trolley, with the tracks laid in the CEN
ter OF the avenue, but wish to estab-
iish a system after the style of those
operated in Berlin.
IN the German city the cars run next
the curb. one track on each side OF
the street. They have ornamental
POLES anchored in the pavement. with
arms extending. Each pole bears q
cluster of clectric lights, the illumi-
nation being furnished by the street
car company. In the center of streets
having such trolley lines is left a drive
way Tor vehicles. Shoppers in car
-4ages have to cross the tracks to
reach the stores, but it is sad that
Ills causes no great inconvenience, as
the great tide of shoppers use the
cars.
Van Ness avenue is a boulevard at
present and under the Jaw streetcar
lines cannot be operated on a boule-
ward, but the merchants who are TAX
ing possession of the thoroughfare
think they can induce the Supervisors
TO rescind the restrictive ordinance.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The improved

change today to sell stock to take

which has occurred during the week.
The gain in cash shown by the banks

The movement of prices ~ Tie stock
market was unusually confused and

movement after the bank statement

when the general tone was at ali con-
sistent. Advances in prominent stocks
We're made at the same time With de-
Clines in stocks. Of equal importance
The movement was not wide az any
was only moderate Banking opinion
IS not unanimous on the outlook in
the money market. The confident.
speculation in stocks is based upon an
assumption Of growing ease in the
money market, which is expected to be
forced by return How from San
Francisco as soon as Banking is re-
sumed there and by further remit
tances from abroad by foreign fnsur-
ance companies on account Of San
Francisco fire losses. In some bank
ing quarters it is argued that the
early resumption of business activity
and OF reconstruction in San Fran
cisco VIII cause the retention of the
funds which have been accumulated.
Opinion differs also as to the extent
TO which foreign assurances companies
have already made remittance to this
country IN preparation for paying
claims against them. The recent large
inward movement Of gold is alleged by
some bankers TO have been largely
due 10 the course Of remIttances
against Insurance losses. The market
closed near the low point of the day.

The course of the stock market dur
ing the week offers evidence that there
has been some substantial Investment
absorption Of securities, especially at
the low levels of last week. Buying by
substantial banking interests at that
time was for purposes of supporting
prices and part of the holdings thus
acquired have come back upon the
market as prices recovered

Her Body Found in Trunk
Leit Behind by Flee

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Ger
many, May 12- Details OF q mysterious
and revolving tragedy, because Of which
Wilhelm Never and a woman named
Christiana viii be arrested on the arrival
Of the Hamburg line steamship
Graf Waldersee at New York today, We're
revealed this afternoon. Meyer came to
Frankfort CT April 81 and left trunk
and other baggage with an express com
pany, saying that the trunk contained
clothing and that he wanted it kept for
three months, as he was going abroad.
The trunk was finally opened by the
police and found to contain the body of
an aged woman, covered with chloride
Of line The body proved to be that Of
Mrs. Vogel of Wildungen, in the Prin-
( cip2lity Of Waldeek. who had been miss
ing since the disappearance of Meyer
from that place She came from San
Francisco to Wildungen with Meyer two
years ago. The latter is q furniture
dealer, 81 years Of age and born in Ger
many. Mrs. Eogel was reputed to have
been rich. Latterly she quarreled with
Meyer and asked for police protection.
The murder was committed by stran-
gulation.
Meyer spent several days in Frankfort
and wrote to the Christiania woman, who
comes of good family, to meet him here,
whence they disappeared together In
quilies made by the police established
the fact that the couple sailed for New
York from Hamburg on April 30, regis
tered as from New Orleans.
NEW YORK. May 12.-Meyer and the
woman were arrested by Federal eff
GERS at Hoboken when the Graf Walder-
see reached her dock there today
They we're at once brought to this city
and arraigned before United States Com
missioner Shields, who had issued the
warrant for their arrest
Meyer and the woman we're committed
to jail without bail until Monday, when
the German Consul in this city win ap-
pear against them.
The Waldersee was met at the dock
by Deputy United States Marshall Bern
hard and another deputy, who at once
put Meyer under arrest. He made no re-
sistance when the handouts were placed
on his wrists. The woman who accom-
panied him was registered on board the
ship as his wife, but confessed to the
authorities that her real name was Chris
tiania. As soon as she realized what
had been done she began asking the mar
shall the reason for the arrest and from
her questions it seemed as If she was en-
tirely ignorant Of the crime of which
Meyer was accused. During the drive
frcm Hoboken to Commissioners Shield s
Office In New York she made several at
tempts to comfort Meyer, but her adj
vances were rebuffed.
Meyer is of medium size, dark haired
and with irregular features. When asked
if be had lived in the United States be-
fore, he replied in German that it was 10
ones business. The woman speaks some
English, but Meyer apparently does not
understand a word of it. They were both

nothing of a suspicious character. Never
