 of Mrs. Mellon

August Probst, former butler at the exclusive Rolling Rock Club. near Pittsburgh, who charged that he was a victim of a deportation conspiracy because a young heiress lost her heart to him. always wanted to make love to every woman at the club according to Mrs. Richard B. Mellon, who arrived in San Francisco, yesterday.
 Mrs. Mellon, wife of Pittsburgh fnancier and sister-in-law to Sscre- tary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mel lon. pooh-poohed Probst's assertion that she had advised him to return to Switzerland on account of the TO- nance said to have existed between the young butler and Miss Virginia c. Mckay, Pittsburgh heiress.
 Mrs, Mellon today said Probsts story-was silly, trivial and rfdicu- 1ous."
 ''I have no recollection of ever speaking to Probst except as a, servant who occasionally waited on us at the club,'' said Mrs. Mellon. of course. I know him as did all members of the club.
 1.-The story is ridiculous on the face ofSit. I know that my daughter was not mixed up in it and am certain that Miss Mckay is absolutely blame Iess.' - Mrs Melons daughter. Miss Sara C. Mellon was said by Probst to have enjoyed the confidence of Miss Mckay in regard to the affection the butler said existed between the heiress and himself.

 Runs Gauntlet.
Letter Of President Zepp Declares Mayor H a s Signed Waivers, Ac-' quiring g Apparatus Without Bids.

The Board of Health, which has been under ordeal for some montfs, is running the gauntlet of the Board of Apportionment and Taxation once more.
 The commissioners have asked for these two transfers:
 From garbage collection to Engle- wood hospital, B, 3,485.
 From ash collection to Englewood hospital, $4,s50.
 It was said today that this request w1ll have hard sledding. One of thel board said: "The ash and garbage collections were fully worked out, and we were led to believe that the sumal appropriated were actually needed.I Part of the money would be used for3 an ambulance for Eng1ewood, and' part for refrigerating plant for the same hospital. The board considered both of these items. and it was agreed that they could be put over to morel prosperous times. u will be an er-! ceedingly bad precedent to permit' departments to exaggerate thefr3 needs in order that they may after! ward take care of concealed matters r
 The letter addressed to the Tax. Board by William l.. Zepp, president,s says that the mayor has signed wafv-; CTS, permitting the ambulance and the refrigerating machine to be ac-S quired without advertising bids.
