PULLS RIVALS HAIR
San Francisco Woman Con-
fronts Husband and Compan-
ion in Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N J., July IA
ended a 1900 mile chase of her hus-
band and her rival early this morning
in front of a beach front cafe, where
she attacked the other woman and was
arrested after a hair pulling match
which aroused the utmost enthusiasm
on the board walk.
Mrs. Dunn, a handsome woman, SAYS
that her husband obtained 1925, 900
from her on the plea that he intended
to invest in a mining scheme and then
left San Francisco with her rival, who
gives the name of Holmes. She fol-
lowed the pair across the continent.
she says, and bumped into them on
the board walk
Stories of the encounter between the
women differ somewhat, but the spec
tators assert that 1t was worth seeing.
In few seconds hair was flying and q
shower of hairpins mixed with a down
pour of lace and satin as the two
women tore off each others handsome
evening costumes The husband made
an attempt to separate the warning
women, but failed, and called on the
police, who separated the combatants
and took Mrs. Dunn to the city hall.
Mayor Stoy, sitting in the place of
Recorder Hayes, this morning listened
to the story of Mrs. Dunn and suspend
ed sentence, but she was afterward
arrested on a charge of assault pre-
ferred by her rival, and put up $500
bail for her release until the hearing.
Dunn has kept out of sight all day

SUICIDE REVEALS
OFFICERS AFFINITY
Woman's Death by Poison
Gives Reason for POliceman's
Self=DestructiOn

BY the suicide of a young woman
known as Mrs. M. E. Rogers in a room
at the Hotel Balboa at 162 Eddy street
yesterday there was brought to light
the reason for the strange suicide of
Policeman John Lanckmann, who shot
himself through the head while he was
sitting on his sisters grave in Mount
Calvary cemetery, June %. Between
Lanckmann and the young woman
there existed a deep feeling of affec-
tion, which led to the separation of
the policeman and his wife a year ago.
In a fit of dependency following a
quarrel with Eta Rogers, Lanck-
mann killed himself and yesterday the
woman followed suit, taking her life
with an overdose of morphine. When
the policeman died 1t was supposed by
his brother officers that his action had
been due to grief at the separation
from his wife. They were much sur
prised yesterday to learn OF the con-
nection of Mrs. Rogers in the case.
At the Balboa hotel 1T was given out
that Mrs. Rogers had only been there
one night and ii was declared that she
was not known there. This was found
to be untrue when investigation dis
closed that the woman had roomed
there with Lanckmann, who, for a long
time, had apartments in the hotel. The
strange affinity between Lanckmann
and Mrs Rogers was the cause of much
grief to the policemans former wife

over the bar and on the stranger 8

TAFT To DISCUSS
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Republican Nominee Becomes
Convinced More Than Ever
of Need of Publicity
Letter of Acceptance Will Treat
Matter at Great Length
After Consideration

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 14-Judge
William H. Taft has progressed sufi-
ciently at the task of preparing his let
ter of acceptance, to be delivered at
Cincinnati on July %, to make PLAIN
the necessity of devoting two or three
more days to study of the various
programs of the republican and demo-
cratic parties and speeches and letters
of acceptance covering a good many
years before he undertakes the work
of putting his ideas in definite form.
Up to today he has not begun the
dictation of his speech. Yesterday anu
today in his work of determining what
he will say at Cincinnati, he has found
it necessary to consult papers that had
not been brought here and he has mad
to telegraph to washington for addf-
tional documents.
Ever since the appointment of
George Sheldon of New York as treas
urer of the national committee and the
determination to have publicity or re-
publican campaign funds under the
New York law. Taft has daily become
more and more convinced of the wis
dom of the course and it is likely that
he will give it considerable prominence
in his speech of acceptance. He is
bearing in mind that in preparing his
letter of acceptance he will have sew
eral weeks more time, and in it he
will treat all these matters at great
length, as the letter will compose about
$4,000 words.
Taft has accepted an invitation of
the Virginia bar association to deliver
an address at Hot Springs August s. 1t
is not expected that he Will touch upon
politics.

RESULT OF CALL EXPOSURE
The investigation today of the sewer
conditions was at the instlgatlon oA
the grand jury and was direct re-
suit of disclosures made by Ihe Ian
nearly two weeks ago. The accuracy
of The Calls report was challenged
shortly after its appearance by d lohe
and toilsome article in the san jose
Mercury, the organ of the Hayes broth-
ers, but this proved veritable ooom-
erang for the machine leaders. storm
of indignation being stirred. More
than 800 citizens signed a letter or
thanks to The Call, vouching for the
truth of its story. This letter is st1ll
being circulated and the number OF
signers now numbers more than half a
thousand.
Immediately after this letter of
thanks had been published in The Call
the grand jury felt it necessary to take
cognizance of the situation, and all
county and city health officials were
subpenaed to be present at an investi-
cation of the nuisance. The action of
the grand jury proved to the Hayeses
that they could no longer suppress the
facts of the sewer menace, even to
oblige the Southern Pacific, and so
word was passed out that the clamor
of the people was to be needed.
With the Hayes embargo lifted the
district attorney bestirred himself, the
county health officer took a sudden in

of the nuisance and all Joined today

What the officials found was exactly

JURY TO TAKE ACTION

Immediate action to relieve the con-
ditons was promised by Foreman
Harry Edwards of the grand jury
The conditions in the Alviso sloughs
are simply unbearable," he said I'VE
members of the grand jury were ap-
palled at what we saw, and I want to
say In my own behalf, and in behalf
of the other members of the grand
jury, that the facts as stated in The
Call were but too mildly put.
Something must be done at once to
open that sewer reservoir and it is the
intention of the grand jury to make it
its business to see that it is opened.
We shall at first try conciliatory meth
DDS. but if those fail we may use more
drastic measures. We do not pretend
to say whether the city or county is
to blame-that is not the point The
point is that no longer will we permit
such a state of affairs to endure"
District Attorney Free also took a
decided stand
Il can see that the situation down
there requires relief without delay
he said. Il was away on my vacation
when this agitation started and so
was unable to take any hand in the
fight, but it is my intention, now that
know the situation, to see that the
grand jury takes action that will at
least place the responsibility. 1t will
probably be found that the city is re-
sponsible for not having enforced it's
contract with the Dumbarton land and
improvement company, and if the city
fails to take immediate action we may
be forced to have the county health
officer declare the sewer public nui-
sance, which would. operate to enjoin
the city from dumping it's sewage into
the slough at ALL
Mayor Charles Dawson, newly elected
on the union labor ticket, was equally
emphatic.
You can say for me- he stated. that
I realize the necessity that something
must be done and that 1 intend that
something will be done and that right
soon"
