HER LIFE FILLED
WITH GOOD DEEDS
Many Friends Will Truly Mourn
the Death of Mrs.
Amy B. Lubbock

The death Sunday night of Mrs. Amy
Grove school at Shellville, Sonoma
county, removed one of the best known
and best loved women of Sonoma
county. Mrs. Lubbock, who had passed
her eightieth year, had resided at She'll
vile more than a half century. during
the greater part of which time she
taught school. Many women now
under her care. Mothers have sent to
Mrs. Lubbock their children to undergo
the same careful training with which
they themselves profited.
Mrs. Lubbock, who was of English
BIRTH came to California in the early
ffties romance that quickly ripened
resulted in her marriage to the late
Captain Lubbock. In charge of a lum-
Der schooner he owned, Lubbock had
arrived in this state a little before his
future wife. He bought ranch near
Shellville and, meeting the young Eng
lish woman, he invited her and a party
to spend a week there. AZ the end OF
the week their engagement was an
nounced, and marriage soon followed.
Mrs. Lubbock lived on the ranch for
the rest of her days. Lubbock died about
1890. but his wife had begun the
school long before that.
The residence on the ranch, which is
still standing and in an excellent state
of preservation, was built of lumber
brought out from Norway on Captain
Lubecks first and only trip in his
schooner. The place has been added to
from time to time, but no part OF IT is
stronger than that built in the early
days with Norwegian hardwood
Mrs. Lubbock was noted for her over
weening love of children The number
of those she has adopted and started
in life would constitute an immense
family. She first took under her pro-
tecting care the five children OF her
sister, Mrs. marlborough, who died in
Australia Later the three children of
San Francisco dairyman named Clay
ton We're adopted by her. AS the mem
beers of her foster family grew up others
took their place. In all Mrs. Lubbock
reared at her own expense 10 orphan
children.

POLICE INVESTIGATE
ALLEGED SWINDlE
Promoters of Electric Timber
Cutting Company Have
Long Been Missing

An unexplained stock selling scheme.
which the police believe to have been
one of the most extensive plots perpe-
trated on the San Francisco public in
years and one which they now think
was engineered by coterie whose OBJ
erations have extended all over the
United States, was unearthed yester-
day through investigations of reports
made to the local detective department
by victims of the alleged capitalists.
Through the medium of a concern
known as the Electric timber cutting
company, three men who maintained
an Office at 1852 Golden Gate avenue in
April. 1908, gathered in large amount
of money and disappeared. So well
planned were their operations and SO
plausible their methods that it was
only recently that those who were
caught in their net began to suspect
that the scheme was not strictly
Legitimate.
CLEANED UP THOUSANDS
Developments yesterday proved that
hundreds Of San Franciscans were in
duced to invest in the company and
that thousands of dollars were turned
over to the promoters before they
closed the doors of their place of BUSH
ness and disappeared. Business and
professional men, ministers, laborers
and many women were among those in
duced TO invest In the scheme, though
the supposed company represented by
these men was never an Incorporated
concern.
The investigation of the Electric
timber cutting company was begun by
Detectives Bunner and Freel on the
complaint of Rev. Father John Rosa of
1900 Dupont street. Father Rosa was
induced to purchase 25 shares of stock
in the concern at 81 per share and
gave the names of two other pur-
chasers who had invested in 400 shares
each at the same figure. None of them
has heard anything of the company or
of their stock since year ago last
April.
OFFICERS OF COMPANY
The office of the company was
located in April, 1908, at 1862 Golden
Gate avenue. The officers of the con-
Germ were M. Lawrence Degnan, presi-
dent; Michael II. Newman, secretary
treasurer and general manager, and
Arthur w. Hepburn, vice president and
superintendent of timber contracts, all
OF whom lived at the Hotel Dale, 1927
Fillmore street,
Detectives Freel and Bunner learned
that thousands of shares OF stock were
sold during April. 1908, although the
company was not Incorporated, as the
officers of the concern led the pur-
chasers of stock to believe. Pieces of
kiln dried wood were shown in the
company's Office. and these were cut
with an electric wire as a demon
stration for the benefit OF possible in
vestors. What effect, il any, the cleo
trio wire would have had on green
wood was not explained.
At the time of the closing of the
Golden Gate avenue office the men in
charge of the company disappeared
from the Hotel Dale. leaving no elew
as to their destination. Nothing has
yet been learned of their whereabouts,
but the detectives in charge of the case
suggested yesterday to Father Rosa
that a warrant be sworn out for their
arrest. 1t is believed by the detectives
that the names given by the operators
were fictitious.

CITY POLICEMAN AND
COUNTY DEPUTY CLASH
Patrolmen May Have Been Out
of Own Jurisdiction

A clash of authority between six
mounted policemen OF the San Fran
cisco police department and Deputy
Sherif Louis Daneri of South San
Francisco, which resulted in the dep
uty being severely beaten, may be
brought to the police commissioners
for adjustment, for it is claimed that
the mounted men were outside their
jurisdiction when they assaulted
Daneri.
The deputy was watching the fourth
of July parade at Colma, when he was
ordered back by the police. Daneri
claimed he was guarding the line Of
march and that he was without the
limits OF San Francisco county, but
one of the horses ran him down and as
he arose he was hustled about.
Residents of the district were in
dignant at the treatment given their
official and characterized it as unwar-
ranted. They declare they will bring
the men up before the commissioners.
The union of hosting and portable
engineers at its last meeting after the
installation of the officers for the cur
rent term. made a donation of $25 to
the boot and shoe workers on strike

Hollow Concrete Blocks.

A recent farmers bulletin Us:
Among the advantages claimed for
hollow concrete block construction
may be mentioned the following:
Hollow block construction intro
duces a saving OF material over brick
or stone masonry.
The cost of laying concrete blocks
is less than for brickwork. This is
due to the fact that the blocks, be.
ing larger require a much smaller
number of joints and less mortar
and, being hollow, are less weight
than solid brickwork.,
A wall constructed of good con
crete blocks is as strong or stronger,
than brick wall of equal thickness
Concrete blocks, being easily
nodded to any desired form, will
prove to be far more economical
building material than stone, which
has to be dressed to shape.
Experience has proved concrete to
be most excellent fire resisting ma,
teriai.
Concrete blocks. being hollow
tend to prevent sudden changes Of
temperature within a house, making
1t cool In summer and easily heated
In winter.
The hollow spaces provide an easy
means for running pipes and cleo
trio wires, These spaces may also
be used wholly or In mart for buat
Ing and ventijatlng fues.
