MRS. HERMANN DIES
WHEN At DRESDEN
Daughter of A. R. Fraser of Ocean
Park Succumbs to Opera
ton in Germany

VENICE, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Richard
Heimann, wife of Richard Heimann
of San Francisco and daughter of A.
r. Fraser, capitalist of Ocean PARK
and Venice, died last Saturday night
at Dresden, Germany, according to a
cablegram received by the family here
today. Death resulted from an oper-
alton performed Saturday at the sani-
tarium of DIR. Mez Lahman, surgeon to
the royal family of Germany. Hell
mann came here from San FRANCISCO
on a business trip and arrived only a
short time before news of his Wife's
death was received.
The demise of Mrs. Heimann came
as a severe shock to her relatives, as
word was received few days ago
that she was recovering rapidly from
the effects of a previous operation and
expected to arrive home before Christ
mas Mrs. Fraser who was with her
daughter until last week, left for her
home here, arriving in New York to-
day, where she was notified of the
sudden death of Mrs. Heimann. The
necessity for the second operation de-
veloped several days after Mrs. Fra
ser's departure, according to the ca
blegram, and admitted of no delay.
Mrs. Fraser tonight was expected to
leave on the next steamer for Ger
many to accompany the body of her
daughter to this city.
FATHER LEARNS OF DEATH
A. r. Fraser, father of Mrs. Hell
mann, was notified when at San Diego,
where he attended a meeting of the
Order of the Eastern Star. He arrived
at his home tonight and was in COM
mnication with Mrs. Fraser concerning
plans for bringing the body to this
country.
Mrs. Heimann, who was 28 years of
age, was married in 1902. For several
years she had been in falling health,
and in the hope of obtaining a cure
she went to the Laham sanitarium.
The first operation proved effective,
and reports received here indicated
that her recovery was matter of
few weeks. In letter to her relatives
here Mrs. Heimann joyfully discussed
her proposed return home.
Besides her parents, Mrs. Heimann
leaves a sister, Mrs. James Prentiss,
of Denver, and a brother, Earl Fraser.

his father in the operation of the en-
terprises of the Ocean Park Amuse-
ment company. She was active and
popular in social circles while residing
at the beach. After her marriage she
made her home in San Francisco,
where her husband is engaged in the
drug business.

PATROLMEN ARE ACCUSED
BY CHIEF OF EXTORTION
Louis and Thomas Rico Suspend
ed Until Commission Hearing

Patrolmen Louis A. Rico and Thomas
F.. Rico are involved with Detective
F. ]. Talamantes in an extortion case,
according to charges preferred by
Chief Galloway yesterday before the
police commission, and they were cited
to appear before the commission next
Monday and show cause why they
should not be dismissed from the
service.
Cuevas Apolinar charges that his
daughter was kidnapped and that Tai
amantes demanded payment of $50 be-
fore he would tell where the girl could
be found Instead of paying the
money Cuevas informed Chief Gallo

are implicated in the same case, and
they have been suspended from duty
by the chief, pending their trials.

ART DEALERS 0VERVALUE
GOODS TO RAISE PRICE
Customs House Stamp Used to
Deceive Purchasers

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-The recent ar.
rest here Of a member of a firm of
prominent international art dealers for
alleged fraud through undervaluation
of imports has called attention to an
other and strangely different type of
fraud which the customs authorities
say is being widely practiced by art
and antique dealers.
The government is not likely to pro-
ceed against this other type of fraud,
for 1t brings in large additional GUS
toms revenue and is probably not ac-
tionable.
1t consists in overvaluing imports for
the sake Of deceiving purchasers.
Thus, objects worth $1,000 or $1,000 at
the outside are entered as worth $685.
900, 100000 and in some cases even as
much as $4,000.
The invoice is handed into the ap-
praisers, where it is stamped with the
government seal.
The government seal is then exhibit
ed to prospective purchasers as a guar
antee of the value of the goods, and
customers are thus charged from if
teen to twenty-five times as much as
the goods would bring under normal
conditions. Most customers regard the
government seal as a sort of guarantee
that the valuation is correct.

Eighteen acres of ground adjoining
Eastlake park are wanted by the park

STREET CAR C0LLIDES
WITH SWITCH ENGINE

Slippery rails nearly resulted in a
serious accident at Violet street and
Santa Fe avenue early yesterday morn
ing.
A southbound Santa Fe avenue car
of the Los Angeles Railway company
approached the Southern Pacific rail-
road crossing at that point. Motor
man Anderson, in charge of the car,
did not set the brakes until within a
few feet of the crossing, when he saw an
approaching switch engine. He ap-
piled the air brakes and the reverse
lever but the wheels slipped. The car
slid in front of the engine, but the col
lision was not hard enough to throw
the car from the tracks. Several of
the windows of the street car were

slightly cut by flying glass.

DEPARTMENT is PROPOSED
Commission Plans Saving $15,.
600 Annually on Payroll

By reorganizing the park department
the park commission expects to save
$4,000 a year on its pay roll and still
have the parks kept in better condition
than has before been the case.
The reorganization scheme was
worked cut by Commissioner ]. B. Lip

principles into this scheme that he has
so successfully carried out on the
aqueduct.
A definite pay roll is to be assigned
to each park and the men to be en-
ployed on the park will be on the basis
of the amount Of work that a man
nhould do. The division Of labor is as
follows: One man to each three acres
of lawn, one to each two acres of hill
side lawn, one to each three acres of
drives, one to each two acres of
walks, one to each two acres of play
grounds, one to each IA acres of flow
ers and one to each five acres of

CAFE PROPRIETOR MAY
LOSE LIQUOR PRIVILEGE

A. J. Barnes, who conducts the
Rainier cafe at 1891 South Broadway,
must appear before the police COM
mission in two weeks and show cause
why his restaurant liquor permit
should not be revoked.
Barnes, according to the charges
preferred by the chief last night, is
generous, especially to policemen, Civ
ing them meals free of charge. This
is considered damaging to discipline.
One policeman who received such
meals is also cited to appear and show
why he should not surrender his star.

policeman but could not recall his

MERELY QUESTION OF MAJORITY

There is no longer any doubt in
the minds of the most conservative
that Governor Brady and the entire
republican ticket will be elected.
1t was recently our pleasure to talk
with man who travels all over the
southern part of the state and who
has been opposed to Governor Brady.
We have seen him frequently, and
during the early part of the cam
paign he insisted that Hawley had a
chance to be elected. We met him
Sunday evening last and his opening
remark was. IT wish to change ray
estimate on the election results" He
went on to say he found that ire
mendous Brady wave had been sweep
ing over the southern part of the
state and that nothing could check
it as far as he could foresee. and he
believed the governor would be elect
d by a fifteen or twenty thousand ma
iority.
We cite that circumstance as an
illustration. We have had such re-
pcrts from all parts of the state. The
ticket is going like a whirlwind and
there is nothing left of the democrat
ic campaign that is worth paying at
tention to.
We only wish to add that it is
highly desirable to make the reDubli-
can majority as great as possible. We
therefore hone that all our people
will get to the polls and assist in
building up such a majority as Gov
ernor Brady is entitled to by reason
Of the stand he has taken and by rel
son Of the record he has made.

Mountain Home. Idaho,

Mountain Home. Idaho,
Nov. I. 1910.
Mr.. Karl H.. S. Hougen, Editor:
If you will permit me to use a
small space in your paper, I would
like to say few words to the public
in behalf of the republican candidates
of the county.
1t is reported. and being discussed
in all parts of the city that a num-
Der Of the candidates are wet-some
very wet, and for that reason are be-
ing turned down by the w. C. T. C..
and the Civic League societies. and
their followers. regardless of the.
qualifications of the man, some Of
which are considered by these So
cieties to be better qualified and more
capable than their opponents. This
in broad sense Of the word means
selfishness-a narrow. one sided way
of looking at the matter They have
not taken the trouble to look this
matter up for themselves, but have
taken the word and accepted the stof-
les put in circulation by few I'M
scrupulous persons
Taken as a whole, it would be hard
70 find a cleaner, more capable and
trustworthy bunch of Fellows than
our republican nominees, every one
Of whom have pledged themselves
TO the republican state and count v
platforms, which in itself is a good
recommendation and as much o.
more than any democratic nominee
has done. 1t is true that some of
the democrats have pledged them
selves to support state wide prohibi-
Iion. On the other hand they pledge
themselves to their party to the con-
tinuance of the existing local option
law as it now stands. with the coun-
~ as a unit, and how in the name OF
all that is right are they going to
keep both pledges? Do you consider
man that is known to be a user of
liquor a dry man? He usually is.
Some Of the democratic candidates
are just such men Look up their ey-
cry day habits and find out for your
selves, and do not take their word
alone for it. We want the men in D.
flee that we know will keep their
pledges, and at the same time be
fully capable. Do not make any
mistake in voting on November s.
Tor it can not be rectified in the next
TWO years. Vote the republican tick
ct straight and you will vote for a
temperance cause
Respectfully,
A WOMAN VOTER.
