months, who says her honeymoon was a
nightmare, appeared before Police
Judge Mogan yesterday and swore out
a warrant for the arrest of her hus-
band. Fritz Starrett, who resides at
SIS Haight street, on charge of bat
terry. The young woman. who is rather
pretty, tearfully told the Judge that
the love of her husband was evanescent
and that before the honeymoon quite
began he commenced to abuse her.
Harsh words were followed by blows.
The young bride, crushed and humili-
ated, yesterday called on Judge Mogan
to come to her relief and punish her
husband. The court lent a willing ear
and issued the warrant.

FOUR SCORE HOLD
ENTIRE STOCK.
Fifteen Persons Response
BILE for Near Four-Fifths
of the Traders Losses
ATTORNEYS ADVISE

Fifteen stockholders OF the Trad
ers' Insurance Company, so it Is dis
covered, own 3437 shares OF the com
pany's stock out of a total of 5000
shares, and there are but seventy-nine
stockholders altogether. This IS made
ney who has been Investigating the
affairs of the company.
In the past few weeks the efforts Of
the stockholders to secure settlements
in San Francisco at a low percentage
of payments have been redoubled.
Pressure is exerted in many ways. ac-
cording to the stories of the policy
holders. Every settlement diminishes
the amount that may be sued for on
personal liability, which may be the
actuating motive of certain moves.
The heaviest stockholder is T. J..
Lefens. banker, who has ST. shares.
E. Buckingham has 565 shares. Other
considerable holdings include 125
shares held by John A. King, 230 by
M. ]. Marble, 2s7 by G. Buckingham,
$50 by Rosalie S. Carpenter, 150 by
Helen Sturges Dubois, $50 by Clara

When the company went into the
hands of the receiver at the instance Of
some of the stockholders mentioned
the corporation was reported to have
$3,000,000 in good cash assets and ap-
proximately $1,S00,0e0 liabilities that
were insured in other companies.
In view of the general facts in the
case and of recent happenings the Chi
cago attorneys of the Traders Policy
holders Company in this city have
written letter of advice concerning
the course of procedure to be adopted.
The suggestions include one that a
trustee, or attorney in fact, shall be
selected; every policy-holder shall give
a power of attorney to act for him and
represent him in all things necessary
for his protection; that an advisory
committee shall be selected by the pol
icy-holders to advise with the trustee;
also that a full list of policy y-holders
with the amounts of their policies, shall
be sent to Chicago that the Eastern at
torneys may proceed to make arrange
ments with the receiver for adjusting
the losses.
The letter urges that 1t is desirable
that the policy-holders shall be rep
resented In court at once and that the
adjustment of losses shall be speedily
determined.
This action" so the attorneys write,
will not in any way prejudice the
polfcy-holders in their claims against
the stockholders under the California
law"

To REFUGEES.
Registration of Persons De-
string to Buy Homes Now
in Order at Headquarters
ARRANGING A PLAN

new bureau has been opened by
the Relief Corporation for the purpose
of registering persons desirous of pur-
chasing houses The plan is to sell
all persons who own lots or who can
get possession of piece of land for
year, two-room houses at 500 each,
and houses of three rooms for $50;
or the building material will be fur
nished at cost, and the buyers allowed
to erect their own buildings. Regis
tration has been going on for two
days, and large number have availed
themselves of the opportunity offered.
The rehabilitation committee is per-
fecting the details of the plan. The
executive committee has not yet
passed upon the scheme, but it prob
ably will approve IL if the corporation
finds itself financially able to under
take the enterprise. Against the time
of such approval, applications are be-
ing received and registered at relief
headquarters. A room has been fitted
up for this purpose and several clerks
were yesterday engaged in taking
down the names of applicants. If the
corporation decides to furnish the cot
tages-and the matter probably will
be decided upon today-these applica-
tions will be acted upon.
The housing of the refugees contin-
ues the principal problem before the
corporation. The number in perma-
nent camps was reduced during the
last month from $4,000 to 1900. In
addition to these there are about 5000
in the city living in tents and shacks
outside the permanent camps. There
are, too, it is estimated, from 10000
to $4,000 San Franciscans living in AL
ameda and neighboring counties who
will return to San Francisco as soon
as they can get houses. This swells
the number of house-seekers to about
10000.
IF. we had 10000 cottages to give
out" said one of the officials of the
Department of Camps yesterday, they
would not go round. Shacks built by
private owners are going up in all parts
of the city, but rents continue pro-
hibitive."
At Jefferson and Hamilton squares
thousands are making applications for
houses. Those living in tents in per-
manent camps will be the first to be
accommodated. Should there be any
houses left persons from outside the
camps will be given them.

MAKES HERSELF HEARD.
Mrs. Mary Kelly Storms the Relief
Headquarters.

Mrs. Mary Kelly, who has been prom
inent among refugees dissatisfied with
the manner in which the fund sub
scribed for their relief is being admin
istered, stormed relief headquarters
yesterday. The lady didn't propose to
be stopped by the outer line of SEN
tinels who guard the Offices of the
corporations officials. She was not.
She swept through the outer guard
like Jap regiment through a Russian
line. In the reception room she en-
countered some of the male clerks, who
endeavored to pacify her. Mrs. Kelly
didn't propose to be pacified until she
had got what she had come for, namely,
shoes for shoeless refugees and action
on the acquisitions of those whose eyes
require the attention of the optician.
She also demanded to be admitted to
the presence OF f. W. Dohrmann.
The clerks finally called In Rev.
Henry Fisk, who is acting as secre-
tary to Dohrmann. Mr.. Fisk succeeded
in quieting the woman by giving her
assurance that those in the camps
whose eyes require attention would be
waited upon, and that the condition
of the shoeless would be called to the
attention of the camp commanders.

Mrs. E. Mackey, residing at 315 Ash

$40, which was hidden under mat
tress, by man whom she believes to
be L. c. Stevens. She appeared at po-
lice headquarters with the information
that she was acting as her own detec-
tive. She had with her a dog, which
was also doing duty as sleuth. After
giving description of Stevens, Mrs
Mackey stated that she was under the
unfortunate obligation of taking in
washing to earn a living. Stevens was
one of her customers. According to her
version of the affair Stevens called at
her place during her temporary ab-
sence. secured his washing and disap-
peared- The purse containing the $40
also disappeared and suspicion immedi-
ately fell on the man who took his
washing without paying for it.

SICK AND HOMELESS.
Two Little Girls With Destitute
Mother Roam the Streets.

Mrs. A. c. Dwyer, a widow, appeared
at relief headquarters last night with
her two children seeking a place where
she -and her little ones could pass the
night. Il have no room that can take
the children to- she said.
Mrs. Dwyer is frail little woman,
who a week after the fire was taken
down with typhoid pneumonia. Up to
two weeks ago she was in the hos
pital. her children, two girls, five and
six years of age, being cared for at the
st. Francis Girls Directory at San
Rafael. AS soon as she left the hos
pital Mrs. Dwyer secured employment
in an Alameda County cannery, leaving
the children in the directory. But the
little girls sickened and had to have
medical attention. Mrs. Dwyer was
notified that she would have to take
them away. Yesterday, with her two
sick babies, the mother roamed the
streets of San francisco, being directed
finally to relief headquarters. There
provision was made for the family.
