HARBOR COMMISSIONERS
SCORE CITY GOVERNMENT
Complain of Bad Condition of
Streets on Water Front

Two harbor commissioners taxed the
civic government strongly for the poor
condition of streets bordering on the
water front in addresses before the
California Promotion committee at the
tairmount hotel yesterday President
stafford made the plainest statement
OF aIalrs as they exist in the territory
controlled by the harbor board
Before long there will be completed
near First street a number of great
docks, doing an enormous business" he
said, and they will be totally lacking
in street connections with the mainland
of the city. The condition of Second
street is simply horrible. we have
spent more than 100000 on East street.
and have no connection whatever for
heavy traffic except in the vicinity Of
the ferry. The sidewalk on East
street. south side of Market, is two
feet below the curb, and In wet
weather is impossible. We have tried
in every way to have the city sidewalk
ordinance enforced, but have totally
failed"
W. E. Dennison attacked the CITY
government for its policy, declaring
politics paralyzed municipal activity.
Supervisor McAllister defended the
supervisors from the attack by saving
the body had done its best. but that the
men to whom the actual work was in
trusted shirked their duty.

POLICEMAN AS
GANGS ACCOMPL LICE
w. ]. Downing Confesses to
Plan to Rob California
Street Bank

A mild sensation was caused in Po-
lice Judge Shortalrs court yesterday
afternoon at the preliminary hearing
of w. ]. Downing Matthew Gallagher.
Frank Fannon and Eugene Band on the
charge Of burglary for breaking into
the office of H. w. Bogen, auto sup
plies. 460 Golden Gate avenue, January
80, and blowing the safe open, when
in Downing's confession as read in
court he declared that the gang had
been contemplati ting robbing a savings
bank in California street and that a
copper stood in with them. He re-
fused absolutely to give the name of
the policeman or the name of the bank.
Detectives O'Dea and Proll, who have
been working on the cases, said that
they had been unable to get Downing
TO make any further statement about
the policeman or bank and were in
clined to doubt the truth of the state
ment coming from such a source
The confessions of Downing and Gal
lagher showed what a desperate gang
OF crooks they were. They admitted
the safe robberies in Bogen's and the
Peerless Leather Tire company's office
next door, the safe robbery in the
Sonoma market in Polk street, the
burglaries AT Koenig & Collins and
Wolfe & Hawley's and others, besides
a big burglary in San Jose and that
they contemplated numerous burglaries
in Los Angeles, which were stopped by
their arrest. The hearing will be con-
tinued this morning.

'F|RSTOf TOB[LMAN
WIVES is WEALTHY
Death of Deceiver Develops the
Existence of Third Mate,
Who Divorced Him
Number One Married Again and
Is Unknown by Two Vic
Tins OF Grocer

The sudden disappearance of one or
the wives of Frederick TobeIman, a
grocer at Stanyan and. Beu1ah streets,
whose recent death revealed the exist
ence of two of his wives living within
mile of each other, together with the
knowledge of third spouse from
whom he was divorced some years ago,
has added to the complications of this
exceptionally unique case of marital
affairs.
Just how many other wives figured
in the mans life none of his friends
could tell 1t was not until his death
that they learned of the numerous
women whose affections he had won.
Tobelman came to San Francisco
from Germany in the early eighties,
and soon after his arrival married his
first wife. wealthy countrywoman of
his. After a few years the two were
divorced, Mrs. Tobelman No. 1 taking
her children with her. She now lives
with her daughter, Mrs. GeGrge ID. Gra-
ham, at 1894 Fell street. Mrs. Tobei-
man practically supported him during
their married life.
His second wife. as far as could be
ascertained, was a dress maker who
worked for him for over 10 years,
maintaining him in style which his
good looks and accomplishments
seemed requisite.
While yet married to her he welded
third, the. latter setting him up in
the grocery business. Wife No, 1
passed out of his life altogether. As
he failed she succeeded. Her daughter,
Miss Lizzie Tobelman, married George
D. Graham, prosperous businessman,
and kindly fate added to her pros
perity and contentment by donating
her 100000, legacy from a relative
in Germany.
Supporting Tobelman through life
brought the second wife 10 an exist
ence in miserable shack at the foot
Oh buchanan street, but when she be-
came aware OF, the deceit that had been
practiced on her for the last few years
she discarded her home and its scanty
furnishings and disappeared. No one
knows where she has gone.
Wife No. was the only one to at
tend his funeral

THROW BRICKS AT
JAPANESE SUITOR
Corte MADEIRA Residents May
Treat Miss Eniery's Fiance
to Tar and Feathers

Helen Gladys Emery, daughter of
Archdeacon John A. Emery of the Epis-
copal church, supported only by her
mother. is defying her former friends
In Corte MADEIRA, her father and the
traditions of the white race, and per-
sists in being true to Gungiro Aoki, a
Japanese formerly employed in the
Emery household, and her afHanced
husband. Aoki has disappeared, fol
lowed by threats from the citizens Of
Corte MADEIRA, who threw bricks at
the oriental, and propose now to tar
and feather him If he returns. Arch
deacon Emery, the father, has exhaust
ed his arguments against the marriage.
and brought friends to the house to
plead with the girl. Her former friends
refuse to call on her. but she remains
irm in her intention to marry Aoki
whenever the pair decide it is best
to do so.
Miss Emery, her mother and Aoki
met in the ferry building Thursday
and had a long talk about their affairs.
Then the Japanese dropped out of sight
again.
II am satisfied with Mr.. Aoki or I
would not be engaged to him. Miss
Emery said yesterday. we have no
plans for an elopement, as has been
said. or for any marriage in the imme-
diate future. Before our engagement
became public we intended to wait
about five years. So we still purpose
to do"
Are you convinced in your mind"
the girl was asked. that it is right
that the Caucasian and oriental races
should mix?"
That is something 1 am not thor
oughly convinced Of Miss Emery adj
mitted. and l am studying the sub
ject now. Soon my mother and I in
tend to leave Corte MADEIRA and go to
some place where such publicity is not
forced upon u.s."
1t is suspected that Miss Emery
wishes to go to Japan and study her
affianced husbands people there.
