Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 9.-After holding
many sessions over a proposed high
saloon license ordinance with close re-
strictions, which was framed by a
committee of Is citizens appointed by
Mayor Palmer, the city council today
called a special election for March 2,
when an ordinance will be submitted
to vote of the people.
The Antisaloon league. which peti-
toned the council nearly a month ago
to have submitted on ballot at a
general election in April the question
of saloon or no saloon" is inclined
to look with disdain upon this play
which seems to them game of freeze
out The antisaloon forces were also
given a jar when City Attorney Osborn
stated that the leagues petition was
not in legal form.
The proposed ordinance raises IL

ASKS $4,000 FOR
7 HOURS IN JAIL
Milliner Sues Big Chicago Firm
for Causing Arrest on Mis-
demeanor Charge
Accused of Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses, She
Wants Heavy Damages

Mrs. Annette Hartzell, fashionable
milliner, yesterday told a jury and
Judge Buck the story of her arrest in
April, 1906, and seven hours imprison-
ment in the city Jail She is suing
John A. Murphy, travelling salesman
for the Chicago firm of Edison, Keith &
Co.. wholesale milliners, who had her
jailed on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, for $4,000 dam
ages.
On the day following her arrest her
picture, taken by the prison photogra-
pher, was published in local news
paper, with the figures 1929 printed
In large type across her breast: The
humiliation and anguish of this i'm
plication that she was criminal
caused her untold pain and sorrow,
she testified yesterday. The charge
OF obtaining money under false pre-
lenses was tried before Police Judge
Cabaniss, who, shortly after the fire,
dismissed the case.
Murphy's charge against Mrs. Hart
zell arose out of claim Edison, Keith
q Co. had against her for $533. Muir
ply said that Mrs. HartZell secured
the bill of millinery goods for 1888 by
falsely representing she was going
into partnership with a Mrs. Rumpell.
Mrs. Hartzell testified yesterday she
never heard of Mrs. Rumpell until after
she had ordered and obtained the goods.
When she was taken into the cell
at the city prison, Mrs. Hartzen said,
she was forced to remove her shoes
and stockings and her gloves, and to
let down her hair Her feet and hands
and other parts of her body were meas
ured and a photograph was taken of
her. Mrs HartzeH said that her busi-
ness credit had been destroyed in the
community by the arrest, and many
people, believing she was a criminal,
had been led to avoid association with
her.
Besides suing Murphy for damages
she has a suit pending in Chicago
against Edison, Keith & Co. for $4,000.
A continuance was taken to Friday
morning.
Sues for Alleged SANDER
Alleging that she has been held up
to public scandal. infamy and disgrace
by an allegation that she burned
her house to get the insurance money
Mrs. Bertha Mehrtens, wife of John
Mehrtens, yesterday sued Mrs. Ella
Elvin, wife of William Elvin. for
and lived in a house at 1888 Forty
ninth avenue, which was destroyed by
fire November IL last.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
Mrs. Elvin said to one Ernest Harri-
son: Il am satisfied that Mrs. Mehr-
tens set her place on fire, and you
should advise the insurance companies
| interested not to pay the insurance.
To the clerk of the Connecticut fire
cused of having said: 81 think Mrs.

investments. At one time deposits
could not be sold at any price, whereas
now they are worth from 35 to so cents
on the dollar.
The per cent bonds of the Western
Pacific have also been steadily ad-
vancing. Sidney L. Schwartz, mem
ber ofthe stock and bond exchange
when interviewed by a Call representa-
tive said: "A little more than year
ago Western Pacific bonds were going
begging at so. but the rapidity with
which construction work has gone
ahead in this state has caused large
number of both large and small in
vestors to invest their money in these
securities and they have now reached
96k. The rumors that Hartman has
obtained large holdings in the corpo-
ration have also tended to advance botf
the stocks and bonds"
