THEFT PREVENTED BY
OFFICERS VIGILANCE
Carefully Devised Plan to Rob Bank
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Through
Tunnel Planned

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-By the
vigilance of Special officer Herringer, a
well devised plan to rob the Swiss
Haytian bank on Fillmore street, the
Golden West Loan office and the Fame
Jewelry company, occupying an ad-
joining building, by effecting entrance
through a tunnel, has been frustrated.
More than half million dollars
might have been taken but for the
timely discovery of the plot.
Noticing that the door of a vacant
store on O'Farrell street, around the
corner from the bank was open, Her
ringer entered, finding a hole in the
floor and pile of sand in the ROOM
1t was found that the hole was the
entrance to a tunnel which passed I'M
der an alley and led to within eight
feet of the bank vaults.
Two branch tunnels had been start
ed one toward the loan office, the
other in the direction of the Jewelry
store.
A grocer's scoop and a bricklayer's
trowel lying at the mouth of the tun-
mel showed how the work had been
DONE An empty valise near by evil
IDENTIFY had been used in carrying away
the sand from the excavation.
Apparently, the would-be eracksmen
had but recently abandoned the tun-
mel when it was discovered. There is
no clew to their identity.

Judge Answers ALLEGATIONS Of Dis

Naturalzed Within Seven Years
of His Declaration

Judge George H. Hutton of the SUI
perior court, whose eligibility to place
on the bench was attacked by W. j.
Danford, disbarred attorney, Wednes-
day, filed an answer to Danford's ATM
davit yesterday denying the latters
allegations that he did not become a
citizen of the United States within
seven years after he filed his declara-
ton of intention. Accompanying his
answer Judge Hutton also filed GER
tificate of naturalization showing that
he became a citizen of this country Oc-
tober Is, 1897 The certificate is signed
by William T. Witt, clerk of the district
court of Scott county, Minnesota.
Judge Hutton in his reply to Dan
ford's charges says in part
ut is not true, as stated in the afhda-
Wit of William J. Danford that he, the
said George H. Hutton, did not within
seven years after declaring his inten-
ton to become citizen, become a citi-
zen of the United States or become an

WANT REMOVAL OF
FIRE ENGINE HOUSE
CITIZENS ASK ABANDONMENT
OF COMPANY NO. 2
Thirty-eight Residents in Vicinity of
Winfield and Pico Streets Pc
tition Commission to
Sell Property

The fire commission yesterday re-
existence when property owners and
residents in the vicinity of Winfield
and Pico streets petitioned that fire
engine company No. 2 be abandoned
and the property occupied by the en-
CINE company sold. The reason for
such action given by the petitioners
was that they didn't want an engine
house in the neighborhood.
This is the first petition ever pre-
scented to remove an engine house. MI
merous petitions from every part of
the city have been received by the
commission for the establishment of
engine houses and other means of pro-
lection. When the petition was first
read the commission could hardly be-
lieve it had heard correctly, but when
it was seen that thirty-eight persons
had signed the petition the good faith
of the petitioners was not questioned.
The petition represented that the
engine house had been built through
the influence of Herman Silver when
he was a member of the council about
ten years ago and that the residents
had protested against it at that time.
The locality is purely residential and
it is represented that the engine house
depreciates the value of property for
residence purposes.
Chief Lips agreed with the petition
ers that the site was not one he would
have selected for an engine house and
he recommended that the building and
lot be sold and another lot purchased
for this engine house on Pico street.
The commission was not ready to
make a recommendation and took it
under advisement as a committee of
the whole.

City Auditor Tells Commission Game-
we'll Company Asks Too Much
Money for Its Para
phernaIia

The fire commission yesterday heard
City Auditor Mushet tell of the inVes-
LEGATIONS that have been made into the
Gamewell system by himself and a
committee of the council, composed OIL
Wallace, Dromgold and Wren. The
story told by the auditor is ancient
history so far as every other depart
ment of the city government is con-
cerned, but the fire commission mas
only been in office about a month ana
had never heard the story.
The matter was brought up by specl-
fications for new fire alarm boxes, SUD-
mitted to the commission by the coun-
ell. These specifications were the rec
concentration of the special council
committee, and had been referred to
the former fire commission, but the
former commission had concluded IT
wanted nothing but the Gameweh
boxes.
Mushet told the fire commission that
the GameWell people asked too much
money for the boxes and other features
of the system which Los Angeles uses
He declared that boxes doing as GOOD
work as the Gamewell paraphernalia
could be secured for $40, while the
Gamewen boxes cost $3.50. The city
owes the Gamewell firm about $4,000,
Mushet declared there would be no
moral wrong if not one cent OF TINS
bin was paid, because in the past the
city has paid the Gamewell house such
exorbitant prices that the remainder
$SOOo-was covered and a wide margin
of profit left.
The Gamewell system in use is auto
matte and the auditor declared it would
soon be necessary to install manual
system. If the Gafhewell prices are
paid, he said, new system would IN
volve an expenditure of about $SO'OOO-
The special committee is awaiting a
report from Assistant City Attorney
Shenk before making its complete re-
port on the Gamewell matter. Mr..
Shenk is preparing this report and ex-
poets to conclude it in few days The
commission took the matter of the
specifications under ADJUSTMENT for two
weeks. to await the report of the eoun-
ell.

PREMIER ENDEAVORS :
TO INFLUENCE CAR
STOLYPIN HOPES RULER WILL
SANCTION NAVAL BILL
Effort Is Made to Induce Emperor to
Disassociate Himself from
Campaign Reactionaries
and Courtiers

ST. PETERSBURG, May 6.-The
outcome of the Russian ministerial
crisis is now entirely dependent upon
the emperor, as Premier Stolypin's ex-
haustive report, based on the cabinet
meeting of May 4, and submitted to
the emperor today, left no doubt in the
latter's mind that the cabinet wasfa
unit in favor of sanctioning the naval
bill
The premier had a long audience
with the emperor at Tsarskoe-Selo,
and, while the primary demand was
for the emperor's approval of the bill
creating a general staff for the navy,
the underlying object was to force the
emperor to disassociate himself from
the hostile campaign of the reactions
ries and the courtiers close to him.
The necessity of the retirement of
the cabinet, in case of an adverse de-
cision, was delicately implied and the
emperor announced that he would con-
slider the matter.
A member of the cabinet said to-
night that the designations of the
ministers had not been rendered.
The issue has nothing to do with a
bigger navy; it is a mere matter OF
educational acknowledgement par
lament, which admittedly possesses
the right to vote appropriations for the
army, should have the power to at
tach a clause declaring that naval
staff had been established.
Baron Demeyendorf expresses the
opinion that M. Stolypin's most dan
gerous enemies are high officials who
have been mixed in scandals, the Mos
COW and st. Petersburg police and the
commissary department of the army,
into which an investigation was begun
recently at the premier's orders.

SUIT RAISES NEW
QUESTION OF LAW
Contest Before Superior Judge Moss
Involves NegotiabiIity of Note
Which Is Secured by
Mortgage

Superior Judge Leon Moss passed all
forenoon yesterday in listening to the
arguments of the attorneys in the case
of1George NJ Thorne against l.. E.
Jones and others, involving some very
peculiar and seemingly novel questions
of law. It seems that some time prior
to the absconding of L. r. Jones,
Thorne had arranged to borrow $4,000 of
him for the purpose of building house,
and gave him his note for the sum
secured by a mortgage on the property.
At the same time he signed separate
paper in which he stated to all whom it
concerned that the note was given for
valuable consideration, and that he had
no set-offs to it. Jones Immediately
sold this note and mortgage, but paid
Thorne only $500 with which to build
his house.
1t was the contention of Thorne's at
torneys, Messrs. Crouch & Crouch and
Charles Salisbury that under the law
of the state of California any note Sc
cured by a mortgage is not a negoti-
able instrument, and that any person
who purchases such a note takes it sub
ject to any defenses or set-offs which
the maker had against the original
mortgage.
The decision of the case will be
watched with unusual interest by menu
bers of the bar and the title companies.

DIR. F.S. KURPIERS

the we'll known EUROPEAN DOC
TOR, who has been practicing in
this city for the last five years, is
conducting a HEALTH SANITAR-
IUM, where he is treating free one
case each of the various common
ailments, using photographs before
and after recovery. He will con-
fine this offer to sufferers who can
furnish letters from two reputable
physicians stating that they con-
slider the case incurable. One case
each of CONSUMPTION, HEART
DISEASE, DYSPEPSIA, BRIGHTS
DISEASE, CANCER, RHEUMA-
TISM, ASTHMA, PARTIAL PAR
ALYSIS, UNSIGHTLY SKIN DIS
EASE, SYPHILIS and other serious
and so-called incurable common all
ments. Applicants must be willing
to furnish photographs before and
after treatment and a testimonial
describing their recovery.
The patients of DR.. Kurpiers told
the reporter that DR.. Kurpiers al
ways makes the following state
ment to the patient before he takes
the case:
OUR GUARANTEE
Take my course of instruction as
given in your case and If you con-
scientiously follow the advice Civ
en- and are not satisfied that you
have received the full value of
your money we will return the
amount paid. Ever hear of an
offer more fair than this?
GUARANTEE A CURE
Or maybe you would like us to
make you a price which carries with
it guarantee to effect cure? In
this case, after the price decided
upon, we ask no money in advance.
You deposit in a reputable bank
the amount we have agreed upon as
the entire value of a cure in your
case with a check payable to my
order and letter to the effect that
the check be turned over to us as
soon as we can forward the bank
a letter from you stating that your
improvement has been sufficient.
To warrant you in believing that
entire recovery is assured, ever hear
of a more liberal proposition?
The CURES performed by DR..
Kurpiers are REMARKABLE,
yes, some of them are wonder.
full.
One case will illustrate: Mr.. L.
G.. had been i'll for two years with
a disease that 10 medical men
couldn't relieve. And among them
were 20 noted specialists. The first
day he was at the Sanitarium he
could hardly move a limb without
exquisite pain. Second day he sat
up, painless. Third day he walked
pain gone. Fourth day he ran.
Tenth day he took a three-hour
tramp in the mountains. Fifteenth
day he left the Sanitarium, appar-
entity in perfect health. OF course
this was an extreme case-helpless
for two years, restored in two
weeks.
ALL ACUTE PAINFUL DISEASES
promptly relieved and chronic, lin
gering ailments that have defled
the skill of all other methods are
successfully treated and radically
cured. VARICOCELE, HYDRO
CELE, PROSTATITIS, STRIC-
TURE, ETC, a Speciality.
The success of DR. Kurpiers is
great-this makes the other doctors
Jealous, consequently they are not
in his favor. The offices Of
