MISSION STREET STORE
is DAMAGED BY FIRE
Part of Furniture Dealers
$4,000 Stock Destroyed

Three alarms from box 2S4, at Mis-
sion and Twenty-ninth streets. brought
IL engines and as many trucks to a
$4,000 fire in the furniture store of A.
j. Braasch, S1S6 to 3194 Mission street,
shortly after 7:30 o'clock last night. The
blaze started in the basement of the
store, and before the arrival of engine
Is. which is located only two blocks
away, the entire ground floor of the es-
tablishment was enveloped in flames.
The Valencia street entrance to the
store, almost directly across the street
from st. Luke's hospital, burst into
flames few minutes after the first
alarm was turned in. and the patients
became panic stricken when they saw
the blaze
Braasch. the proprietor of the store,
was sitting in his office when he no.
ticed smoke curling up from the base
ment. He grabbed a fire eXtinguisher
and began to play it on the spot from
where the smoke was coming, but his
efforts were useless.
Braasch said that he had a stock of
furniture worth approximately $40, 900
and that he carried $4,000 insurance.
The building was damaged consider
ably. 1t is owned by f. E. Hesthal and
is partly covered by insurance. The fire
did not get above the first floor and
those living upstairs were not dam
aged. From all appearances it started
in the basement from crossed wires.

COIN FOUND AFTER FIRE
PUZZLES TREASURER
Asks Supervisors to Dispose of
Unclaimed Sack of Money

A sack of money said to have been
found on the floor of the recorders
Office after the fire and now in the
custody of the city treasurer, was call
ed to the attention of the supervisors
finance committee yesterday by Treas
urer McDougald who wanted to know
what he should do with 1t. The sack
contains $230.90.
McDougald said he had several times
notified the committee of the existence
of the money but Chief Clerk Behan
said no such report had ever reached
the office.
Where the money came from in the
first place and who 1t belongs TO are
matters equally dark. The committee
will probably notify McDougaId. to
transfer the sum into the general fund.

Fight to Bar Stolen Papers

To keep the papers stolen from the
district attorneys office out of the
Calhoun trial the attorneys of the
United Railroads fought yesterday
with every means at their command
Assistant District Attorney Robert W.
Harrison appeared before Judge Sea-
well and asked for a modification of
the writ of prohibition granted by
Judge Van Nostrand so that il would
allow Police Judge Deasy to unseal
the loot which the police department
and w. j. Burns men recovered from
the safe of William NJ. Abbott. The
hearing was held at AS o'clock in
the afternoon and Attorney William
H. Metson. j. M. Mackenzie and ]. H.
Orrick appeared to protest against the
contents of the package of stolen
property being made known.
They fiuently told what the kings
and queens benches of England had
decided in the case of papers belonging
TO Alexander Pope. the poet, and Lord
Chesterfield, the letter writer but did
not state what the courts had held in
the cases of Captain Kidd, Robin Hood
and Jesse James.
Mackenzie declared with great
solemnity: They have a purpose in
wanting these papers opened"
GOES DIRECT TO POINT
Yes replied HARRISON, we have a
purpose. 1t is that the police court
may examine these. papers. L will as
sumo a case" Harrison continued
speaking directly to the point at issue.
suppose that Judge Deasy is subpe-
naed in another department of the SUI
perior court and is questioned as to
the contents of these papers. The court
could order him to answer, as ii
would have CO. o-ordinate Jurisdiction
with this court, but it is not our de-
sire to act without the sanction of
this court. We ask that the order be
modified so that these papers may be
opened by the court.
This is not a question of privacy.
there is no allegation of ownership on
the part of the petitioner, merely one
of possession.''s
On one point being raised by Harrison
to the effect that the order appa rently
stood In the way of certain procedure,
Judge SeaweII quickly spoke up. "It
is not my ORDER in a way which sug-
gested that he did not want to bear its
responsibility.
Metson closed for the United Rail-
roads, declaring that writs of prohibit
ton stop everything.
CASE UNDER R*ADvISEMENT
Does a writ of prohibition run to
ministerial acts?' asked Harrison. 1T
can show you 20 authorities where it
does not
Judge Seawell took the matter un-
der advisement. Motions regarding
other sides of the stolen property
case, the. suits of Abbott and of the
United Railroads against Deasy, were
also taken under advisement.
II is the intention of the prosecu-
tion in the Calhoun case to produce in
court the reports of the Burns men
which were stolen by United Railroads
employees to show the guilty con-
science of the accused, but the defense
does not wish such a graphic illustra-
tion placed before the jury.

and said that he had made report of
the matter to Abbott.
Abbott told me- testified Korngold,
TO find out if possible what had hap
pened in the grand jury room when
Pete Claudianes was indicted. He told
me, however, to be careful what I did
as inquiring into such things was a
criminal offense. He said to me, We
don't want anybody to know that we
are interested in this affair at ALL"
Luther Brown was followed upon the

The present crusade in Germany against
the corset is not a mere temporary explo-
sion of hostility. Many scientific men and
women are engaged in the onslaught, and
queens and princesses ave given their
OplnlOlb. carmen sylvia says: The
woman who wears corsets makes a mar
tyr OF herself and does everything to
hinder her natural development. All that
is unnatural offends my sense Of beauty
and is hateful. A tight waist / resent as
unesthetic." The queen of Italy is also
a strong antagonist of corset wearing. On
the other hand, the pro-oorset people have
the German empress on their side. She
not only wears a very stiff corset herself,
but, IL Is said, has more than once let
her maids OF honor understand that they
must not appear In her presence without
this garment.

customs, and has been l~eoturing on the
