Lost Steamer Centennial

estate OF Bent o. Lee Lee. who was
also known. as Bent Olson. was the
mate of the steamer Centennial. which
left the Siberian coast late in March
for San Francisco. but never reached
here.
The letter produced by Mrs. Lee was
written from Vladivostok, and recounts
the massacres that We're taking
place in that city late in November.
It tells of how 1900 men were killed in
one day. 400 on another occasion, and
Of how their bodies were in many in
stances thrown into the ocean. Lee
expressed the hope that everything
would go well with him, as his steamer
was soon to leave for Hakodate and in
concluding his letter said: IF anything
should happen to me leave everything
20 you"
It is this simple statement of a last
desire on which Mrs Lee asks for let
ters testamentary upon his property.
Mary Leslie Ladd filed petition yes
terday for the probate Of the will of
her husband, Charles D. Lee, who
died recently, leaving an estate valued
AT $4,000 and claim against the United
States Government for $4,000 for the

kan waters in 1887. Ladd was a gun
smith in this city for many years.

WOMAN ALLY AIDS
H|GHWAYMAN.
Soldier Victim of Trap Set
by Fair Companion to
Accomplish a Hold-Up
MET BY APPOINTMENT

A sudden realization that the hold-up
game as practiced in San Francisco is
not played alone by men, but that 1t
is participated in by women confeder-
ates was brought to the police last
night through the report of Floyd
Bowers, a soldier, who was held up and
robbed on Filbert street after he had
been lured into dark portion of the
thoroughfare by well dressed woman
whose identification he could not
give.
Bowers story established beyond
doubt the fact that women allies of the
thieves are contributing to the reign of
lawlessness by leading victims into
places where prearranged robbery
can be committed, while they them
selves can escape without detection
during the excitement attending the
commission of the crime.
Bowers, who is a private In the hos
pital corps of the United States army,
and attached to the Presidio Hospital,
met a young, well-dressed woman on
Saturday night at the corner of Oc-
tavia and Sutter streets and accom-
panied her for several blocks. When
they parted company it was with an
agreement to meet again at s o'clock
on Tuesday evening at the corner Of
Fillmore and Filbert streets.
Bowers kept the appointment, 1ound
the woman waiting for him, and they
started together east on Filbert street.
AS they reached a point in the middle
of the block, man stepped suddenly
out of the shadows at the side of the
walk, covered Bowers with revolver
and ordered him to throw up his hand.
The footpads face was black, but
Bowers declares that his assailant was
not a negro, but merely disguised by
an application of burnt cork
Despite the fact that the soldier was
armed with an automatic Colts revol-
ver he was forced to submit while
the highwayman searched him. The foot
pad took the revolver and SO in coin.
Bowers was then sent on his way down
the street with strict orders not to turn
around. In the meantime his companion
had quietly disappeared, and as Bowers
looked back from the next corner not
trace of her was to be seen. He at
once reported the affair to the police
and an Investigation was begun.
Bowers is positive in his statement
that the woman who accompanied him
was young, well dressed and good look
ing, but beyond this his description is a
hazy one. He admits that he would not
be able to recognize the man who com
mitted the crime. He declares that the
woman did not scream nor run when
the man with the revolver appeared on
the sidewalk, but says that she quietly
dropped behind him and disappeared
before he recovered from his fright

BoNAPARTE's THREAT.

Continuing, Secretary Bonaparte
made the request to the city before
quoted and told of what happened at
Bremerton, as an example of what VAL
lejo might expect if it were obdurate.
Concluding the letter, the Secretary
said: "It would be a source of regret
to the department to feel compelled to
adopt a similar policy with regard to
the Mare Island Navy Yard, but if the
results of existing conditions in Val
lejo to the health, morals and efficient
service of its enlisted force continue to
be as serious as would appear to be
the case at present from papers laid
before it, it will be obliged to adopt
this course as the lesser of two evils"
1t was not alone through the efforts
of the Municipal League that the Navy
Department was made cognizant of the
conditions existing at Vallejo. In his
letter Secretary Bonaparte stated that
the department had received number
of communications from enlisted men,
forwarded through the proper channels,
complaining of the conditions existing
IN Vallejo. The appeal of Jack-ashore
for less opportunity. to sin was potent
with the Navy Department
1t is reported that all Vallejo favors
limiting the number of drinking places,
even the saloon-keepers joining in the
movement. The question which is puz-
zling them is who shall stay in bust
ness and who shall go his way.
