STEWARDS FILE SUITS
TO ESTABLISH TITLE
Hotel Owners Wish to Obviate
Confusion Of Names

To establish their claims to sole own
ership of the Hotel Stewart in Geary
street, Charles A. Stewart and his sister,
Miss Margaret Stewart. filed two suits
in the superior court yesterday Finan-
cial interest in the hitel company has
been claimed by A. X Detwiler
Confusion resulted because of the
similarity of the names Stewart Hotel
company and Hotel Stewart, two dis
tinct business enterprises. The promot-
ers and principal stock holders OF the
Stewart Hotel company. which con
trolled a lease on the Hotel Jefferson,
were Charles Stewart Miss Stewart. T.
w. Nowlin, John G. Barker and A. X,
Detwiier.
The Stewarts built the Hotel Stewart
and leased it to the Stewart Hotel com
pany. but the new hotel lost money,
while the Hotel Jefferson prospered
Fearing a sudden closing OF the Hotel
Stewart the Stewarts appealed to The
other stock holders, who. with the ex-
ception of Detwiler, whom the Stewarts
say they could not locate. came to an
agreement.
The Stewarts agreed to take over the
entire Indebtedness and run their own
hotel and give back their shares IN the
original Stewart Hotel company. for
which they had paid $4,000. This. they
say, left the Stewart Hotel company
free from debt and possessing only the
Hotel Jefferson.

BACON QUITS DIPLOMACY
TO SERVE UNIVERSITY
Ambassador to France Ap-
pointed Harvard Fellow

PARIS, Jan. 11.-Robert Bacon, am
bassador of the United States at Paris
today confirmed the report of his resig-
nation. The letter in which he an
nounced his resignation to Presiden,
Taft is due in Washington today.
Bacon especially refrained from MAX
ing his retirement public, as he desired
the first announcement to come from
Harvard university. which yesterday
chose him to be fellow in place of the
late Judge Lowell
Ambassador Bacon said he wished
his friends to know that there was no
Interior motives for his resignation, but
he welcomed the opportunity to identify
himself actively with the great prob
lens of American civic and national
life
Bacon's friends say he has been at
tracted by the power and influence OF
journalism to do good and that perhaps
he will identify himself with one of the
great daily newspapers. He said that
his resignation implied no differences
between him and the president and did
not mask a design to help Roosevelt OF
anybody else

NEW~YORK, Jan. 11.--Retween $780,

institutions. the quarters of which were
destroyed by the fire that wrecked the
Equitable Life Assurance Society build
ing Tuesday.
The vaults of the Equitable Trust
company alone yielded $4,000, 900,
which was transferred to the. company's s
temporary Offices.
Many millions more were taken from
the vaults of the Mercantile Trust COM
pany. of which s6,0O00e0 was repre-
sented in a single box of gold certifi-
Gates, which an officer of the institution
carried through the streets under his
arm with only one policeman to protect
him.
There remains yet to be opened the
great vault Of the Equitable Assurance
society itself. with its treasure of $780,
100000, which was still buried so deep
today under tons of ice cemented debris
that the doors could not be reached.
One of the peculiar freaks of the fire
came to light today with the discovery
that the clock in the Office of the Mer-
camille Trust company was still telling
the time. The mahogany case had been
nearly burned away, but the pendulum
was still swinging and the hands point
ed to the correct time.
A contribution of $4,000 to fund for
the benefit of the workers at the, fire
was announced late today by commit
tee of directors of the Equitable Life
Assurance society.

All doubt as to the identity of the

resignation from their posts, Works
Commissioners Michael Casey and c.
S Laumeister; Fire Commissioners
James E. Dillon and John Donohoe;
and H. G. Vaughan and James E.
Powers, members of the board of

based on definite and formal charges.
The tip has been conveyed to Pow
ers that it is up to him to beat the
mayor to it." The same tip undoubt-
edly will be conveyed to the other
commissioners concerned before the
end of next week.
Causes for Removal Found
Certain it is that the preliminary
work upon charges against Casey,
Laumeister, Vaughan and Power is
we'll under way, and that the grounds
for the ousting of Dillon and Donohoe
have been uncovered for the mayor, if
they have not been fully disclosed to
him yet
It's understood that no charges in

at the door of any of the commission
ers who are slated for the AK if they

the charges will not be merely formal

There is we'll sustained attempt TO

Power in the deepest mystery, but it
is reasonably certain that they will be
charged with conduct prejudicial to
the educational system, and it is vir-
tuaIIy admitted that joy riding in the
citys automobiles will be the matters
of their educational policies that Power
and Vaughan will be called upon to
explain.
None is willing to admit what the
administration and its advisers have up
their sleeves on Fire Commissioners
Dillon and Donohoe. 1t is limited that
there is much that will not come to the
surface, because there will be no neces-
sity for its disclosures
Conduct of Fire Commission
Among the charges against the fire
commissioners will be conduct preju-
dicial to the fire department and public
safety and specific acts destructive OF
discipline in the department.
