Pacific extinguisher company, 507
Montgomery street, behind the bars in
the city prison pending a full exami-
nation of his books, following which
charge of felony embezzlement may
be booked against him.
Suspicion that all was not right with
Gordon dawned upon George ]. Becker,
the manager of the company. Tuesday.
and that evening he sent for an expert
to go over Gordon's accounts 1t
speedily developed that he had been
padding the pay rolls, and yesterday
the amount of his alleged defalcations
exceeded $4,000 and the investigation
had not been concluded.
Gordon lived with his mother and
aunt at 47A Landers street They came
from Cleveland o., about year ago,
and he got employment with the COM
pany. He is only 21 years of age.
Manager Becker made a complaint to
the police yesterday and Captain An
derson detailed Detective Gaughran on
the case. Gaughran learned that Cor
don had packed his, valises and had
slipped away from his home few min
utes before he got there. Gaughra n
hurried to the ferry and caught Chr
don there. He was taken to the city
prison and his name registered on the
detinue book.
Gordon told Gaughran that he was
short about $66 in his accounts and
intended to make it good, but failed
to explain why he was fleeing from the
city. He admitted that he was fond
of the society of chorus girls and had
met one three nights ago with whom
he was fascinated. but he declined to
give her name.

EVERY HOME
Over a Hundred Boudoirs Have
Already Been
Sold

To fill a very insistent want, a
small piano suitable in size for the
fat and the apartment, we have recently
secured the agency for the new
BOUDOIR piano.
The first carload lasted just three
days. We have already sold over a
hundred of these attractive little in
struments. and we have been surprised
to find that they are not only being
used by people who have small quar-
ters, but they are also being placed in
large, commodious homes.
The Boudoir is an upright piano,
and though small in size, it is big in
tone. II may be purchased at half the
price that is usually paid for pianos OF
equal quality. And the terms-well.

Type Now in Use

Vigorous protest on behalf of the
women of San Francisco against the
height of the steps in use on the street.
cars of the United Railroads was made
yesterday to the supervisors public
utilities committee by Madame Emelia
Tojetti for the California and other
women's clubs.
Il know of women who have seri-
ously injured themselves clambering up
on the platforms from the steep steps,
said she yesterday, "and one who is
now in the hospital just on this ac
count. Many people have spoken to me
since our protest was sent in to the
board, complaining of this same thing.
1t is evil endangering the health
and well being of the mothers of the
community. and / hope you gentlemen
will find some way of bringing about
an Improvement. The railroad COM
pany promised to take the matter up,
but so far, believe, nothing has been
done"
DIFFICULTY OF CHANGE
General Manager Black of the COM
pany, who was present, said that the
difficulty was an old one, and that the
railroad would be most glad to find
some way out 1T is greatly to the

on the score of preventing accidents
and of handling quickly the crowds it
is most to be desired. The mechanical
difficulties, however, are great. In the
green type of car the platforms them
selves are lower than the floor, but on
the old cars three steps are necessary,
and they must be somewhat steep. Four
are impossible. If we lower the bot

Black agreed to make this alteration
on a few cars as an experiment and
then to follow the recommendation of
the committee and the clubs in the
matter.
COUNTY LINE WATER COMPANY
City Chemist b. w. Beamer's report
that the waters of the County line
water company showed a former con-
tamination from animal matter from
the nitrates found present was re-
ceived by the committee through the
health board, and the members dis
cussed further the purchase of the sys-
tenn at $4,000. DIR. A A d'Ancona
agreed with his confreres that the peo-
pie of the district needed this, their
only supply, and that present harm did
not seem to come from it's USE The
members will visit the works again
president Potter OF the company point
ed out that $4,000 hardly covered the
actual physical valuation of the plant
and to this Citizen E. p. E. Troy agreed.
SPEED LIMIT FOR CARS
Requiring all streetcars to keen
within the Is mile an hour speed limit
on all lines east of Fifteenth avenue in
Richmond was considered by the com
mittee, the present limit for this speed
being at First avenue. Members John
ston and Murphy discussed the change
with Black, who desired an Is mile an
hour limit. The supervisors thought
on account of the large schools now in
the included district and the number
of people, the restriction should be
made at the lower speed They will
confer with McLeran, however, before
making any recommendation to the
board.
