LOveland Proposes Pledge to

bition at Banquet
Islam NOblemen Show COnster-
nation and Political Pebble
Falls With Dull Thud

The Shriners' trip to Santa Cruz is
thing of the past. but the ripple of
the waves caused by the little political
pebble which Railroad Commissioner
Harvey D. Loveland dropped into the
ocean of Zem Zem at the banquet in
the Sea Beach hotel Saturday night has
stirred UP sea of trouble"
Even to san Francisco has come
the noise of these waves caused by the
innocent little pebble which Loveland
let fall with view to aiding William
Crocker in his aspirations for the Of
fee of mayor of this city at the fall
election. Many an honest political am
bition has been drunk to it's death in
the toast proposed by an over jealous
friend at a banquet where other things
should have been considered.
Harmless Little Speech
1t was harmless little speech that
Loveland made at the banquet-that
is, harmless at the outset. The astute
railroad commissioners eugolized Will
tates Islam temple ever had. That
was to have been expected-there are
always kind words for each successive
leader of the fez wearers-and as Love-
land rippled along with his praiseful
talk the Shriners inattentively contin-
ued to satisfy their appetite. But there
was a sudden halt.
Il now propose the toast that we
remember our potentate in his aspira
tions at the election in the fall"
blandly remarked Loveland.
Busy forks were poised in midair.
Wine glasses went back on the tables.
The banqueters realized that Loveland
had said something unusual. Conster-
nation was plainly depieted on many
faces underneath the le5es. And then
Crocker arose He assured his hear
ers that the shrine was no place for
politics and that he would have
checked his good, kind friend Loveiand
had he known what was to come when
the chief rabban took the floor.
Speculation Is Created
Shriner looked at Shriner and Won
dered whether there had been dress
rehearsal of the little political side
issue of the festivities. Maybe Love-
lands eloquence got away with him
when he arose to his feet at the re-
quest of another Shriner, who claimed
the floor at what must be termed the
psychological moment and announced
the dignified gentleman of the railroad
commission. 1t was really rather odd,
said some. that Crocker should yield
his position as toastmaster, but no
one needed the fact until that innocent
little political toast sparkled forth and
was pledged with disappearing bubbles.
There are questions that the Shriners
at that banquet are trying to answer.
OF course, they say, 1t was mistake
to introduce politics at gathering of
the nobility of the mystic shrine, but
was it merely tactical error on the
part of Loveland? The plot was grace
fully unfolded. but was there any pre-
arrangement?

brother, and left matters In the hands
of we'll known attorney of those
days. Doctor Frizelle was offered $780,

in the mine, but the attorney assured
him that he should get a million at
least. Negotiations were broken off.
and Doctor Frizelle returned to Mis-
souri,, leaving everything with his
lawyer. There was correspondence
after that. but the death of Doctor
Frizelle caused a relaxation of inter

The lure of millions, which they be-

San Francisco two prominent women
of other states. They are Mrs. j.
H. Frizelle of Butler, Mo-. and her
daughter, Mrs. II. H. Pigott of Hell

at the ST. Francis yesterday afternoon.
Claim to valuable mining interests
in Nevada is made by these women.
Plot and counterplot, romance and
tragedy, mark this interesting echo of
third of century ago.
Those days when the Comstock was
at the height of its glory, and the
fortunes of many men who afterward
became dominant figures in the west
were making, are recalled by the two
women who have now, for the first
time, journeyed to this city in quest
of information which may enable them
to regain the fortune which was left

Dies During Litigation

Lloyd Frizelle and partner, against
both of whom large interests were
conspiring for the control of the ex-
tensive mining interests they held on
the Comstock, died suddenly and under
peculiar circumstances during litiga-
tion which promised to establish their
title to the disputed property and pre-
vent the conspiracy to dispossess them.
we have spent the winter at Holly
wood near Los Angeles said Mrs.
Pigott, "and while in San Francisco we
shall look into the mining claim which
was left by my uncle. We have been
informed that the property is very
valuable. and we intend TO determine
whether or not it is possible for us
to recover what is rightfully ours

Principals Remain Silent
However. despite the speculations Of
society. the principals refuse absolute
Iy to discuss the cause OF their separa-
tion by a fence of mean tendencies and
cannot conceive why the public should
be interested in their troubles.
Mrs Byrne's residence is in the fash
ionabIe quarter of San Rafael. and ad-
joining her property is the home OF
Signor Minetti. which is constructed
on property sold to him by the widow.
Both of the. residences are beautiful.
but their attractiveness is being great
ly diminished by the untiring efforts of
the impresario.
Whether it was because of an un-
successful suit or not. the signor first
constructed a stable on the rear end
of his property and with 20 feet of
the Byrne hobe. which is situated a
long distance back from the street.
No sooner was the stable finished than
the signor acquired some chickens
and assigned to them a habitation ad-
Joining the widows property. and then
came the fence, which is formidable
structure OF its kind. although de-
signed with full appreciation OF the
requirements of art and made useful
as the outer side of a porch.
Cuts Off Widows View
Formerly Mrs. Byrne could look from
her porch across the Minetti property
to the beautiful hills. but as the fence
arose, foot by foot. until it reached its
full height Of % feet, it became neces-
sary for her to raise her sights, so to
speak, until now she is just able to
get glimpse of the hills over the
obstruction, which extends from the

of his property. distance OF so feet
Not content with depriving his femi-
nine neighbor of the beautiful view,
the energetic sfgnor is now engaged
in erecting a continuation OF the fence
along the rear OF his property which
will not only cut OF the view OF the
hills from a beautiful little bungalow
which the widow Is erecting. but will
also cut off the light on one side OF
the new structure Whether the signor
intends to build any more fence after

Conspiracy Is Alleged

In the early seventies Frizelle dis
covered one of the most encouraging
prospects on the Comstock. The Mar
tin White mining company was formed
and Frizelle held the controlling in
terest of the stock. Capital was eager
for investment. and soon the funds
were available for the development OF
the mine About this time certain
parties associated with Frizelle are
said to have formed conspiracy to
deprive him of his interest. Others
in the company were loyal to Frizelle,
and thus it was that a lawsuit was
begun in the federal courts in this
city.
While the case was progressing
death came suddenly TO Frizelle and
one of the other stock holders who
was friendly to Frizelle in the litiga-
tion. The latter dined with some
mining men one night. and soon after
he had gone to his room in the Palace
hotel he fell upon his bed, dead. His
friend was stricken in the street
