THE CHIEF WAS WORRIED
Rounded by Newspapers on Account of the Haas Sui eide, Though When Last Seen He Was in a More Cheerful Frame of Mind.

San Francisco, Dec 1-Although numerous boats have patrolled and searched the bay since daylight this morning from the Golden Gate to Hunters point and officers of ferry boats and other crafts were asked to keep a sharp lookout for it, the body of Chief of Police William J. Biggy. who mysteriously disappeared from the police launch Patrol and is be- lieved to have fallen overheard shortly before F o'clock last night while re- turning to this city from Belvedere on the north shore, has not yet been re covered.
 Up to late hour tonight the police launch Patrol and other boats with searchlights were still on the bay, but it is feared that the body has been car ried out to sea by the tide.
 Police Commissioner Keil, who lives in Belvedere and to confer with whom, Biggy crossed the bay last night. stated today that the chief was much worried and concerned over the attacks upon him by some of the newspapers and the charges and counter charges grow ing out Of the suicide at the county jail of Morris Haas. The commissioner said he advised Biggy to pay no atten- tion to the attacks upon him and the chief left for his home is more cheer ful frame of mind, but complaining that he was not feeling well.
 The police commissioners meet at o'clock this morning with Mayor Tay- Tor and after an executive session ap- pointed A. D. Cutler, president of the commission, acting chief of police, pending the appointment of a perma- nent head of the department.

Inquiry Raised in the Latest
 ThaW Proceeding QUESTION OF GOOD FAITH
U. s. Court of Appeals Wants to Know If the Federal Court Will Be Asked to Pass Upon Thaw's State of Mind.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-"Is it the pur- pose cf these bankruptcy proceedings to raise the question of Thaw's insan- nity in the United States court?' asked Judge Burlington, who with Judges Dallas and Graz, is hearing arguments in the matter Of the appeal to bring Harry K. Thaw from Matteawan asy- lum to PittsburE to testify in the bank ruptcy proceedings. Former Governor Stone at whom the question was di- Tccted replied that he was in court in the interest of the writ of habeas cor pus to bring Thaw to Pittsburg. where his assistance was needed to properly marshal his estate and that he did not know what Thaw's creditors might do.
 The answer proved to be the most interesting incident in the first days proceedings in the Thaw case in United States circuit court of appeals which will review the decision of Judge Young of the United States court for the western district of Pennsylvania who dismissed the writ of habeas cor pus issued by Judge Archibald of the United States court for the middle dis trict of Pennsylvania.
 Judge Burlington wanted to know what Thaw could testify to if he at tended a meeting of the creditors in Pittsburg and Stone replied that he could tell of the contracts he had made with his brother and sisters growing out of their fathers will; of the con tracts and agreements with the alien ists and many other matters. He said there may possibly be some fraudulent claims among those presented by his creditors and bills that might be prop criy disputed.

An Order to Place Its Property on the
 Assessment Roll.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. In circuit court today Judge Stout rendered a decision in which he directs the board of valuation and assessment to as semble and assess the Southern Pa cific railroad according to law.

 The suit, however, was to force an assessment on a valuation of $25O.- GOO. 900 and will mean about $6,0OO, 900 for the state if the court of appeals upholds the judgment, as five years taxes are involved.

Beating the Fat Men Three Straight Games and Break
ing Record ties Them TO This
Big Free Ad

Last week was banner week In the
number OF records made and broken.
and last night the Saengers separated
their system from SIS hangover dope.
Their match against the Fat Men on
the Bund alleys was by far the biggest
thing yet in records and enthusiasm.
when the Saengers repeated their stunt
of last season, and took three straight
games from the Fat Men, who up to
last night had lost only two games.
The Saengers started by bowling their
first 100 game of the season, Machler
and Burdine giving the rOOters a taste
OF good old Saenger days, with games
of 225 and 235.
But the second game was the thriller.
The Saengers led up to the tenth box,
but the Fats came with q hurricane I'm

frame.
There was no ante-climax. The last
game was the best Of the set, and an
other record breaker for both teams.
The Fat Men showed they have no yell
low In their makeup by pulling on
strike after strike. while the German
r0oters were raising pandemonium over
the great work Of the retuVenated
SaengeTs. The Fats recorded their high
est game of the season, 1,029 but the
Dutch Hope was working overtime and
the Saengers won out by three pins.
The finish was one Of The most sensa-

final in the High School champion
ship series this afternoon at American
League Park.
Technical brought its premature
recognition as this years champion
by it's defeat of Western. and since
then the games between the other ag-
gregatiOns have been a Clamor for the
places. Business has gone through the
series without a single victory, and
the coach at the commercial school
has been driving his charges hard of
late that they might break into the

ern has also been hard at practice. but
the absence of several of its best men
from the lineup will materially
