CLUBMAN CAPTURES OWL
AND PRESENTS 1T TO PARK
Louis SIoss Brings Big Bird,
Which Is Named After
President Roosevelt

His name is Theodore Roosevelt and
he is an owl. big brown bird with a
white face, out of which stare two
very wise looking eyes The T. R. ap-
pellation comes from the fact that
Theodore was captured perching on a
big stick out in the wilds of Mendo-
cino county. At present his address is
the aviary, Golden Gate park. He is
gift from Louis Sloss, vice president
OF the Northern commercial company.
And thereby hangs a tale.
According to the gossipy whisper
ings Sloss, in company with several
others who are members of the Family
club, went on a hunting trip a week
or so ago. They hunted long and when
not hunting filled in the time by fish
ing. But nothing happened. Five fish
of unknown length and Theodore, the
owl, were the only trophies of their
prowess that were in evidence when
they again returned to San Francisco.
And now comes whisper that Theo-
dore was the target for several shots
before a small boy came along and
knocked him from his perch with a
pebble and presented him to Mr. Sloss.
For while things looked serious for
the owl, as it is reported that SIoss
was in favor of stuffing Theodore with
excelsior and making a mascot for the
Family club. However. his mind was
changed and now Theodore, emulating
the example of the man after whom
he was named, rules the roost in the
aviary.

CHARGED HUSBAND
WITH MANY GRIMES
Harold w. PraCht's Wife Fails
to Snbstantiate Accusa=
tiOns Against Him

Harold w. Pracht, an opera and choir
singer, his young and pretty wife,
Velma B. Pracht, who sued him for
divorce, together with a host of the
relatives and acquaintances of both,
filled Judge Bucks court during the
greater part of yesterday. Mrs. Pracht
charged her husband with all the do
mestic crimes. including cruelty, in
fidelity and habitual intemperance, but
failed to Substantiate her accusations.
The judge in the end advised them to
get together again and suggested that
if they could cut away from their
relatives harmony was possible. Mrs.
Pracht in her testimony had many COM
plants to make about Miss Stone, who
sang in a choir with Pracht. She said
he was infatuated with Miss Stone, that
he would meet her outside church and
take her to lunch and that when Miss
Stone went to the country she wrote
endearing letters to Pracht. One of
the letters Mrs Pracht remembered and
she quoted it as follows:
My Dear Sidekicker-I feel so lone
some without you, and after hearing
that you missed me my first impulse
was to return at once. but as absence
makes the heart grow fonder' l de-
cided to delay my return a short time
Mrs. Pracht also charged that she had
seen her husband with a Miss Ray
mond, VINO gave herself the character
of "a sporting woman" Another al
legation was that Pracht was indiffer-
ent to his child and had said that he
did not intend to sacrifice his life to
a gocart."
Pracht denied most of the charges,
although he admitted taking Miss Stone
into a restaurant one evening for
supper. In taking the case under sub
mission in order to give Pracht a
chance to pay alimony pendente lite that
is overdue, Judge Buck intimated that
he would not grant divorce

RU[F'S BAIL WILL
COST THEM DEAR
Assessor After Grafter's Bonds
men, Who SwOre to Owner
ship of Much Property
Big Increase in Taxes Threatens
Those Who Set Arch
BOOdler Free

A rude awakening awaits the Ruef
bondsmen whose sworn statements In
court as to their wealth differed so
widely from the sworn statements fur
nished the assessor last spring when
they turned in their totals for the as
sessment roll. Assessor Dodge has
completed a review of the properties
of the bondsmen in the light of infor-
nation brought to his attention from
the court files, and in nearly every case
1t has been necessary for him to In
crease the personal property assess
ment involved from so to 100 per cent.
This he has done in accordance with
the law which obliges him to revise er-
roneous assessments.
In one case sponsor for Ruef'S ap-
pearance swore to personal effects val
ued at $500 for assessment purposes
and admitted having personal prop
erty worth $4,000 when before the
court
In every case the Interrogation was
carefully put. whether the properties
claimed were in the possession of the
presumptive bondsman on March /,
the date set for the assessment. There
will, therefore, be no escape by the
easy method of pleading the acquisi-
tion of sudden wealth since that time.
Ruefs bondsmen, like other citizens,
supervisors on or before next Monday
for reductions, but the board, on the
other side, has the power to increase
the amounts where it deems such in
crease just and reasonable.
Abe Ruef's own personal property
stands on the assessment roll at $4,000.
Other matters of business prevented
Ruef from filing any statement as to
his personal wealth, and the above fig
ure is Assessor Dodge's own modest es-
innate of the ex-boss wealth With
all others on the roll Ruef's assessment
will be reviewed by the board next
Monday morning and is subject to in
crease. The board, however, has no
power of reduction.
Among the Ruef bondsmen were
