THE IDEAL PIANO FOR
APARTMENTS AND FLATS
The New" "BOudOirPianO'
Meets With Quick Favor

With the modern apartment and fiat
has come big demand for the small
piano. The great big piano that is
built to be used in a large room is not
appropriate for fiat, but the '.Boudoir
piano" suits it to a nicety, and what's
more, while it's small in size it's big in
its volume of tone and is a musical in
strument of high order.
We have secured the exclusive
agency for the Boudoir piano and it Is
sure to find favor with thousands of
families who have not large spacious
homes.
The first carload shipment lasted
Just three days. Now we have a new
shipment, and they are all beauties.
Everything is small about the piano
except the tone and its value, and
these are big.
The price brings it within the reach
of every family in California and the
terms-well, they are too small to speak
of-it's almost cheaper than paving
rent-s5 down and say SIS or s6 month
thereafter will pay for the piano, and
it's worth $40 per month merely to
have this piano in your home.
If, later on, you want a larger piano,
you can exchange it for a Chickering.
Sohmer, Decker, Kimbau or any of our
high grade pianos and all the money
you've paid will apply toward the pur-
chase.

TWO WOMEN CLAIM
LITTLE MINTO GIRL
Mission Worker Wants Child
Taken From Chinese Mission
to Associated Charities

Two claimants appeared for little
Alice Minto, or Nah Ho, when the case
came up yesterday in the Juvenile
court, but Judge Murasky said he would
take two weeks to decide what should
be done with the child.
Mrs. Claudia Schad, who says she is
a mission worker among the Chinese,
child be taken away from Miss Don
mission and given to the children's
agency of the Associated Charities on
the ground that a white child should
not be associated with Chinese.
Miss Cameron, who was accompanied
by her attorney, Henry E. Monroe, said
that she had had a long conversation
with Nah Lin and Nah Chez, or Chin
Chez, the Chinese foster parents of the
child, and they had agreed to make no
formal application for letters of guard
ianship.
Miss Cameron said that she felt it
would be an unkindness to the child
to place her in a white family just
now. as she has no knowledge of Eng
lish save the few words she has learned
since she has been at the mission,
where she has daily lessons. Moreover,
she is accustomed to eating Chinese
food entirely.
At Mrs. Schad's request Miss Nc
Carthy of the children's agency was
called to Judge Murasky's desk and
asked if she thought she could find
a satisfactory home for the little waif.
A week from Monday Miss Mccarthy
and Miss Cameron will meet In Judge
Murasky's chambers to consult in re-
gard to the matter.
The most pathetic feature of the case
is the deep grief of the Chinese pair.
When the child was brought to them
she clung to the Chinese woman with
every demonstration of affection.
No member of the Witchie or Minto
family was in court or represented
among the claimants for the child.

SLOT MACHINES AS
CAUSE OF DIVORCE
Now that They Are Abolished,
Alma E. Olsen Takes Back
Her Husband

The antislot machine law more than
justified itself yesterday. 1t brought
about a reconciliation between an
estranged husband and wife. Alma E.
Olsen got an interlocutory decree OF
divorce from Ole T. Olsen, a carpenter
June II. The burden of her COMPLAINT
against him was that he spent his time
and his coin playing the slot machines,
| to the neglect of his family.
Meanwhile the ordinance abolishing
the slot machines had gone into effect
At loss what to do with his spare
time, Olsens thoughts turned to his
divorced wife. Seeking her out he
| reminded her that his great temptation
to neglect her had disappeared and
promised to behave as husband
should.
Mrs. Olsen. remembering Judge Gra-
hams advice to take back her husband
before the decree became final, listened
to Oles words, and the result was that
yesterday by signed stipulation the
decree was vacated and the suit dis
missed.

before Lawson went TO the house, stat
ing he had $3.50 for his wife, he had
telephoned and ascertained that Mrs.
Lawson was not in.
Lawsons story that he was knocked
down by Ryan was corroborated yes
terday by John B. Gray of the Home

at the time. Lawson is now $500 in
arrears in his alimony. and Judge era

SPRING VALLEY TO
BE SUED BY CITY
Attorney Long Will Seek to En-
force Rights of the Public
Against Water Company
Service Demanded in Low Pres
sure and Outlying Districts
and More Fire Hydrants

Three suits are to be instituted by
City Attorney Long to compel the
Spring Valley water company to re-
spect the city ordinances and the terms
of its own franchise. The first is to
compel the company to build a water
tank in the low pressure district about
Fulton street and Parker avenue. as
promised; the second. to give adequate
service to the outlying districts; the
third. to put in the 200 new hydrants
ordered by the fire department.
Assistant City Attorney George
Lull. who is working up the cases, has
been in communication for several
days with Supervisor Johnston, chair
man of the water committee. Material
for the first suit he said yesterday, was
found in the proceedings of the Ruef
board of supervisors shortly after the
fire. The water rate is fixed on the
basis of a fair interest on the COM
pany's investment.
Among the items added to the COM
pany's statement in 1906 was one for
S4I6s54 At the time Gallagher asked
Captain Payson what this was for. Pay
son answered that 1t represented the
water tower the company was to erect
in the district between the panhandle
and the old cemeteries. Pressure was
so low there, Payon explained, that
second stories could not be served.
This condition is true now" Lull
went on to say. The company has not
placed in the improvements for which
it asked an additional income. nor
made any attempt toward bettering the
service.
I'm Bernal heights the Excelsior
homestead, Sunset and Richmond dis
tricts the water supply is far below
present needs.
1.-THE plea that it can not afford the
expenditure is taken away from the
Spring Valley in the language of the
charter. The rate is figured as a fair
return on all money invested. What
ever may be expended in extensions
will be considered when the rate is
fixed next spring"
Sales Manager Wallace of the water
company informed the fire commission
at its last meeting that the Spring
Valley would not install hydrants at
the present rate, although the city
bears all the expense of their installa
ton and pays the company $3.50 a
month for each additional hydrant.

DICE SHAKING AT CIGAR

Chief Cook Issues an Order to
Company Commanders

The police commissioners decided
Thursday night that an injustice had
been done cigar dealers by insisting

a result Chief Cook yesterday sent the

NEW PIANO STORE
READY FOR VISITORS
Wonderful Exhibition of Musical
Instruments Will Please
Great Crowd

For the thousands of men and women
who have watched with commendable
pride the reconstruction of the down
town business section there is in store
an additional pleasure today when the
Wiley B. Allen company opens formally
its great new store in Kearny and
Sutter streets. The building itself
large, airy and conveniently located to
the needs of the people-will delight
the passerby. The stock, however, will
be the main attraction. Actual count
shows that there are SIG pianos housed
in the magnificent new store, some of
them especially designed by the master
piano firms of the world for today's
exhibition. Besides this piano stock
there is a department which includes
everything in the way of monographs
of such variety and design that will
become both the palace and the humble
cabin.
Speaking seriously George r. Hughes.
the assistant manager, said yesterday
that he believed that the new Wiley
B. Allen store was the handsomest
store in this city. He stood on the
mezzanine balcony as he made the re-
mark. overlooking the magnificent col
lection of pianos resting on the maple
plicity Of the architecture, the white
columns crowned with decorations of
gold, the airy, sanitary, spacious COM
partments where the executive and
clerical forces were busy at work max
ing all things ready for today's glo-
rious opening.
There are, of course, outside of the
general stock of high order, several
instruments that will arrest the Wis
itor's attention to a marked degree. A
Knabe grand, which is valued at $4,000,
built especially for today's exhibition,
is worth, in itself, a visit to the new
piano store. 1t is of type character
istic of the period of Louis XIV. Scroll
carvings and polished panels, selected
from hundreds of beautiful Circassian
walnut trees, add elegant raiment to
the sounding board and stringing, the
finest the Knabe house could produce.
Other instruments from the factories Of
Hardman, Conover, Packard, Ludwig
and Krakauer, and uprights from
Americas best makers are spread on
the large floor space of the new house
The new building will be thrown
open at o'clock this morning. Gem
era1 Manager Frank Ayreys has prom
ised that the stock of the house will
be shown unreservedly to the visitors.
