to declare most emphatically that
Melissa link is an adventures, and
that her sensational charges against
Mr.. Bunnell, who was held in the
highest esteem and who was regard
ed as a man of most exemplary char
acter, are fraudulent and groundless.
The details of the sensational charg
es made by the link woman are well
known to The Sentinel readers. as
The Sentinel was the first paper to
make the announcement of the
claims made by this woman, and
since then the story has gone
throughout the country and has been
published in hundreds of papers. Ow-
ing to the unusual features of the
case 1t attracted widespread atten-
tion.
The attorneys for the rightful
heirs and the executors of the Bun
nell estate believe that it can easily
be shown that the woman has no
claim on the estate and that her sto-
ry is untrue.

Tuesday and published in dispatch

of the country. Attorney O'Neill de-

FILLMORE STREET
TO BE PERMANENT
Improvement Association Is
Satisfied With the
Prospects

The Fillmore street Improvement as
sociation has decided to make a regu-
lar feature OF its midday luncheon
meetings. They will be held once a
week for the purpose of discussing
matters that pertain to the district. AT
the initial meeting &c members were
in attendance David Livingston, presi-
dent of the organization, presided.
Among the matters discussed were
the Portola festival, the necessity of
lower insurance rates, the transfer of
the Chutes To Fillmore street and i'm
proved transportation facilities. II
was reported that leases were being
renewed along Fillmore street and that
many new applications for space had
been received. These verified reports
have inspired confidence In the per-
manency of the street In discussing
this matter President Livingston said
We are not opposing the downtown
movement We wish success to those
who have gone with that movement
There is room for success there, and
there is room for success here on Fill
more street. The tremendous growth
of the Western addition. the dense
population for which Fillmore street
is the main channel. the Inevitable in
crease of that growth are sufficient to
insure the absolute permanency of
Fillmore street as the principal uptown
shopping center of San Francisco"
The next meeting of the association
viii be held March so.
