SMART SET DIVES FOR
SUNKEN GOLD PURSE
Mrs. c. O. G. Miller Drops 1t
and $500 From Pier

Members of the smart set resolved
themselves into submarine detectives
yesterday afternoon at the beach in
Santa Barbara when Mrs c. o. G. Mil
Ter, who is spending a month at the
Potter hotel, let her gold purse, with
about 5000 in it, fall into the water at
the end of the pier. Immediately her
husband and several others swan out
to the spot, but after an hours search
they returned to shore disheartened.
The purse has as completely disap-
peared as if some passing shark had
eloped with it.
1t was at the liveliest hour of the
morning swim that Mrs. Miller met
with her loss. She was standing at the
end of the pier watching her children
cavort in the waves and calling out to
her friends, when, in settling her hat
more comfortably, her bediamonded
purse flew out of her hand and disap-
peared in the depths of the ocean. She
called to Miller, who was swimming
out by the raft, and he Immediately
swan to the rescue. Others were ahead
of him however
Miss Marion Newhall Miss Elizabeth
Newhall, Miss Helene Irwin, Miss Jen-
ME Crocker, Miss Julia Langhorne,
Templeton Crocker and William Mayo
Newhall Jr. beat him to it. They were
already swimming and diving around
the spot where the treasure had fallen
and worked for nearly two hours in
their mad search. Up to date no trace
of 1t has been. found and Mrs. Miller is
wearing less of her valuable jewelry
down al the water front.

THE OWL DRUG STORES
MODERN HAIR DRESSING

has played havoc with the tresses of
the fair sex, and druggists everywhere
Comment on the fact that they are
selling large quantities OF sage for
making the old-fashioned sage tea
such as was used by our grand
mothers for promoting the growth of
their hair and restoring its natural
color. The demand for this we'll
known herb for this purpose has been
so great that one manufacturer has
taken advantage of the fact, and has
placed on the market an ideal sage
tea" containing sulphur, a valuable
remedy for dandruff and scalp rashes
and irritations. This preparation,
which is called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur, is sold by all leading druggists
for so cents and ST bottle, or will be
sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company, "a Cortlandt St, New York

BUMBOATMAN HERE
AHEAD OF CRUISER
Dick Connell Arrives on Water
Front Prepared to Serve
South Dakota's Men

Armored cruisers, like coming events,
cast their shadows before them, and
when Dick Connell bumboatman
showed up along the water front yes
terday it was taken as a sign that the
South Dakota was not very far away.
Dick has been the South Dakota's bum
boatman ever since the cruiser went
into commission, and has kept the crew
supplied with ice cream and cream puffs
during the whole of that time. He has
followed the cruiser all over the world
and when the South Dakota, just back
from the orient, was ordered to Buenos
Aires Dick bought a ticket for New
York and from there took steamer for
the South American republic.
The brand of cream puffs turned out
by the Buenos Aires bakers did not
appeal to Dick, so he confined his
business relations with his bluejacket
clients to picture postals. He also did
some business with the Brazilian
Dreadnoughts on board which he in
troduced Yankee bumboating methods.
His venture was so successful that he
was able to treat himself to tour of
Europe on the way home. He expects
to meet the South Dakota here in about
a week.
Speaking of the new Brazilian Dread
noughts, Dick said:
The ships are all right but it's
waste of good material to give ships
of that class to the kind of men that
man them. One of the new Brazilian
Dreadnoughts-Tf forget its name, sounds
something like Goodness gracious'-was
coaling at Norfolk same time as the
North Carolina The Brazilian had q
bigger crew, and they both took the
same quantity of coal The North
Carolina was finished in five hours. 1t

BURDEN ADDED TO
SETTLEMENT WORK
Problem of Providing for Aliens
From Honolulu Causes Some
Anxious Moments

settlement workers among the Portu-
geese and Porta Ricans who, of late.
have been coming to San Francisco
from Honolulu in large numbers. are
endeavoring to prevent recurrence of
the misery in which the poverty
stricken aliens were found last win
ter. At present they are on the fruit
ranches but the majority are expected
to return to the city as soon as work
in the country becomes slack.
TT is one of the most difficult prob
lens we have to face, said Miss j. NJ.
Hathaway. who has charge of the Sal
vation army store at 1927 Powell street
and to whom the aliens have flocked
for help. These people came upon us
suddenly. They seemed to be Nabso-
lutely destitute and with the arrival
of every shipload the settlement work
ers were confronted with new cases for
charity.
For the most part they are planta-
tion workers and agriculturists. The
hardships they had to endure last win
ter was something horrible. Unac-
customed to the climate they felt the
cold keenIy The children were stricken
with pneumonia and many of the elders
developed tuberculosis. They We're
paupers in every sense of the word and
ought never have been allowed TO
land.
They naturally gravitated to where
rents were cheapest--on the outskirts
of the Barbary coast and then we knew
that we faced the danger of seeing the
girls become victims of dealers in vice
with the coming of the summer
months we were able to ship the
greater number to the fruit ranches;
but when fruit picking season ends we
will have them on our hands once
more
These people were first imported to
Honolulu by the Hawaiian planters,
but as soon as they saved enough
money to pay their passage to the
United States they left the plantations

the city attorney.
Judge harrington offered to have
the final oral argument in the Spring
Valley case either on July 20 or
