City Now Faces Loss
Of Reservoir Site
Must Raise $5,44O by Noon To-
day, or Smith Option
VIII Lapse

Unless the people of San Francisco
come forward before noon today with
loans aggregating s5,44o more, there is
danger that San Francisco will lose
her chance to get the lands belonging
to Elmer E. Smith. which are of the ut
most Importance to the Hetch Hetchy
water project.
At midday the extension generously
granted by Smith on the city's option
will expire and it is not deemed likely
that he will give any further time.
Though only few hours remain in
which to raise the remainder of the
needed 100000 the mayor and the su-
pervisors are still hopeful that enough
public spirited citizens will come for
ward to meet the emergency and that
after all they will be able to keep the
Smith option from lapsing and save the
lands to the city.
1t was thought at first that many
citizens were held back from subscrib-
ing on Thursday because they did not
understand that the money was wanted
as a loan, not a donation. and that
when 1t became generally known that
the money would be returned later they
would rush to sign the civic roll of
honor
The officials were sorely disappointed.
however, for when banking hours
closed yesterday only 1915 had been
subscribed during the day. City Engi-
neer Marsden Manson appealed to some
of the acquaintances he met and gath
cred in the following subscriptions:

the sums taken in during the day at the

tional banks, brought the total sub
scriptions to the loan up to $3.50, less
than half the amount required.

southern California hospital for the in

The woman was sent to the state

was perfectly rational and should not
have been admitted to the asylum. She
was merely nervous, but this was at

she gave birth to boy. and since then
has been entirely sane at all times.
Her husband was informed of her
condition and advised to come at once
to the hospital for the purpose of TAX

some reason unexplained he paid no
attention to it.

Seguranca just when preparations were
being made for starting her upon her
way to Cuba. The appearance of the
treasury men caused a stir among the
passengers, who were unable to un-
derstand why the unexpected visitors
held UP the ship and overturned every
thing aboard in the unexplained search
which they proceeded to make.
That the ammunition was seized by
the federal officials Is due to infornla-
tion given to the secretary of the
treasury by the Cuban minister at
washington, Gonzalo de Quesada. Until
he made the announcement that con-
traband goods for the rebel party were
being shipped to his country nothing
was known about any attempt to fo-
ment trouble there
Three hours were required to corr
plete the search of the ship. She was
scheduled to leave at o'clock, but ii
was after before the vessel was per-
mitted to go on her way.
The treasury officials said nothing
as to what they were after when they
appeared at the pier of the Ward line
They simply exercised their legal au-
thority and went through every nook
and corner in the ship while the
amazed crew and passengers stood by
in astonishment and wondered what
they were after.
When the ammunition was finally
brought to light the commander of the
vessel and the agents of the company
were dumfounded. The cases in which
the 10000 rounds had been shipped
bore labels which were far from ex-
citing. One large box had been shipped
as a piano and the others were said to
contain various sorts of merchandise.
Whether it is suspected that previous
shipments were made, the treasury Off
ciaIs would not say. 1t was admitted.

MYSTERY Wells
man AND WIFE
HELD in PRISON
Pair Who Astonished Humble
Neighbors With Jewels
Taken to Jail
Pinkertons Instigate Arrest OF
Man Said to Be Clever
Eastern Swindler
Big Bogus Deal in Mining Stocks
Deemed Frustrated by
Capture

]. c. Green and his wife, myste-
rious couple that for the last few days
have been living in an humble cottage
at 5o2 Natoma street, exciting the
wonder of their neighbors by the dis
play of large diamonds and costly
clothing, were arrested last night by
police detectives at the instigation of
the Pinkerton detective agency and
placed in detinue at the city prison.
1t is understood that Green is wanted
in the east for various clever swindling
operations and was about to launch
another here.
Although the police and the Pinker-
tons refused absolutely to divulge the
least particular which led UP to the
arrest, pleading that their case is not
yet ripe, it is understood that a mining
swindle of gigantic proportions has
been nipped in the bud and that its
operators were both here and in some
other place where part of the swindle
was TO have been consummated.
Every effort was made to keep the
arrest a secret. Green was taken in
custody at the Natoma street cottage
by Detectives Lambert and Bailey of
the police department and w. H. Field
head of the coast branch of the Pinker-
ton agency, was hustled into a patrol
wagon with his wife, a pretty young
woman apparently not over 20 years
of age, and was quietly slipped into a
cell at the city prison.
QUESTIONED IN CELL
Contrary to custom he was ques-
. - T. y I. !.
of being taken into the offices of Cap
tain Kelly. Two trunks and two type
writer's were taken away by Green's
captors and turned over to the prop
erty clerk of the police department. A
policeman was left to guard the prem
ises from which they were taken. What
part the typewriters play in the case
or what is contained IN the trunks
those who know refuse TO say.
Neighbors of the couple arrested
knew nothing of them beyond the fact
that their name was Green and that
they claimed TO have recently arrived
from the east. The woman rented the
cottage Tuesday from A. Curry, its
owner, and paid for it one week in ad
vance. She asked for the option of re-
tanning 1t for month at the end of the
week Farther than that she gave no
particulars of herself or her husband.
PAIR KEEP IN sECLUSIoN
According to Mrs. John Hansen, who
lives at 594 Natoma street, the nearest
cottage to that occupied by the strange
couple, Green stayed close at home, go
ing out only for short time each aft
ernoon, returning about o'clock each
time. His wife kept herself equally
secluded.
Because of the evident wealth of the
occupants of the cottage considerable
wonder was expressed by their neigh
bors at their choosing such lowly sur
roundings. Green always appeared
dressed as typical man of affairs. He
wore two large diamonds, one on his
finger and one in his shirt bosom. His
wife, whenever she appeared on the
street, was dressed in costly clothes and
jewelry was displayed on her hands.
