FOUGHT OVER A
WOMAN'S COFFIN
Disgraceful Scenes at the
Burial of Mrs. Emma
Cediey.
A Man Covets the. Jewels on
the Dead Body of His
Wife.
But for Outside Interference There
Would Have Been Blows at
the Funeral.
Mrs. Emma Cediey was burled from
her home, at 1513 Fifteenth avenue,
yesterday, and all South San Francisco
is talking of the events of the funeral.
But for the interposition of a stranger
there would have been blows over the
coffin In which the dead woman lay,
and it was all over two rings, for which
it would have been hard to get $3.
The rings were on the woman's fin
ger as she lay in her grave clothes, and
the husband declared they should not
be buried with her. He would have
taken them from her, too, had not' her
brother stepped In and warned him
away. Then there were threats and
angry words, which had not cooled even
when the cemetery had claimed its
own.
Mrs. Cediey was the wife of a team
ster for one of the butcher firms of
South San Francisco. She had con
sumption, and three weeks ago she
realized that her end was near. She
had no one to attend on her, and so
three of the neighbors came in, and one
of them, a Mrs. Hyde, was with her
when she died. Before she died, she
told those who were with her that she
did not want any of her property to go
to her husband, for, she said, every
thing belonged to her, and she wanted
it to be applied to the payment of her
debts.
When she died an undertaker was
called in, but when the time came for
the funeral there was trouble. Two of
the dead woman's brothers demanded
that nothing be done until the other
brother had appeared, and there was
a wait. When he did come, the ques
tion arose as to where the money for
the funeral was to come from. Finally
one of the brothers said he would pay
If Cediey would not, and he handed the
undertaker $20.
Then the husband approached the
coffin, and seeing that the woman's
rings were still on her finger, he de
clared his intention of taking them off.
The brothers vowed he should not, and
in the presence of his dead wife Cediey
wrangled for the paltry jewels he be
grudged the grave. Then Cediey's
nephew, Frank Orr, joined in the pro
ceedings, aijd there would have been
more than words if a young man by
the name of Doran had not come for
ward and demanded peace.
The funeral started for the church,
but it had gone but a few blocks when
it was learned that the brothers were
having the furniture removed from the
house. A sister of Cediey came back,
and mounting the express wagon she
pulled the load of furniture to the
gmund and had it carted back into
the house; but when she had taken
possession the brothers returned and
took everything except the sofa, upon
which the woman had seated herself
and from which she refused to move.
Cediey started out to secure warrants
for the arrest of the brothers, but they
■were not served yesterday.

STEAMERS FOR
THE YUKON
Four Stern-Wheelers and
Six Barges Going Up
on the Sintram.
The New Steamer Dirigo to
Run From This Port to
Dyea Direct.
Passenger Rates Between San Fran
cisco and Eureka Take a Sud
den Advance.
The first of the new river steamers
and barges for use on the Yukon are
now being: loaded into the ship Sin
tram at Spear-street wharf. There are
four steamers and six barges In all, and
their building has not taken much over
seven weeks. T. P. H. Whitelaw se
cured the contract from the Alaska Ex
ploration Company, and will more than
fulfill his promise to- have the boats un
der way for Dutch Harbor by March 1.
Three .of the steamers are 182 feet
long-, 36 feet 6 inches broad and 7 feet 6
inches deep, and will carry 350 tons of
freight on a four-foot draft. The other
steamer is 150 feet long, 36 feet 6 inches
broad and 7 feet 6 inches deep, and will
carry 250 tons of freight on a four-fo-ot
draft, while the barges are 145 feet
long, 32 feet 6 inches broad and 7 feet 6
inches deep, and will each carry 400
tons of freight. The steamers and
barges have been built in sections, and
100 machinists, carpenters and painters
will go up on the Sintram to put them
together at Dutch Harbor. The Sin
tram will be towed north by the tug
Fearless. Mr. Whitelaw will go north
with the ship, and when the steamers
and barges have been put together and
on their way to St. Michael he and his
men will return to San Francisco on
her.
The handsome new steamer Dirigo
has been secured by the Alaska-Yukon
Transportation Company, and will run
between San Francisco and Dyea and
Skaguay direct. No stops at way ports
are to be made, and passengers from
here will have to handle their freight
once only. The Dirigo will be splen
didly fitted out as a passenger boat,
and will make quick time on all her
trips. She will get away on her maiden
voyage on March 1. The same compa
ny's steamer National City leaves to
dny with 118 passengers, and among
her freight will be 161 dogs, two horses
and four mules. Captain Anderson,
who made the fastest trip of the sea
son last year, goes out as master of
the National City, and Charles Jenkins,
formerly chief clerk of the Holienbeck
Hotel, Los Angeles, goes as purser.
Among those who will leave for St.
Michael on the Rufus E. Wood will be
a party of twelve from Los Angeles.
They will take with them a fifty-foot
stern-wheel steamer and will make
their home on it until all their for
tunes are made. The heads of the con
cern are: H. C. Register, manager; A.
Buckingham, commissariat; A. Howe,
C. R. Lowe and George Groper, finance
committee. *
The ship C. F. Sargent is having her
'tween decks strengthened and is re
ceiving a thorough overhauling at Lit
tle Main street.
The British ship Star of Italy was
placed on the Merchants dry dock yes
terday for inspection. If everything is
satisfactory she will be put under J. J.
Moore & Co.'s flag.
One of the results of the rush to the
Klondike is the advance in passenger
rates to Eureka. The Homer was
placed temporarily on the run in place
of the Pomona, but as the wreck of the
Corona will keep that vessel on the
southern route, the Homer will con
tinue on the Eureka run. Then fhe
jlumboldt was chartered for the Klon
dike trade and that left only the North
Fork and Homer in the business. In
consequence the steam schooner has
advanced her rates {2 50 for a first
class passage.
The Harbor Commissioners held a
short session yesterday and decided to
have the seal of California put in the
floor of the grand nave of the new fer
ry depot In mosaic. The job was let to
Braider & Posquali for $800. The his
tory of the building is also to be put
in a brass frame and fastened to the
wall near the seal.

A JUDGE MANDAMUSED.
W. J. Fifield . Invokes the Supreme
Court to Enjoin Judge
Hebbard.
W. J. Fifield, a property owner In San
Moteo County, invoked the aid of the Su
preme Court yesterday to enjoin Judge
Hebbard from proceeding- in the matter
of the Spring Valley Water Company
from diverting any of the water flowing
through San Andreas Creek, in San Ma
teo County.
The petition recites that «o me time ago,
before Judge Hebbard, Fifleld began a
suit against the water company. Fifleld
in his complaint asserted that he was the
possessor of certain property in San Ma
ted County through which San Andreas
Creek flowed; that he was entitled,
therefore, to the use of the water in said
creek, but that the Spring Valley Com
pany had sought, by building a flume, to
divert the stream whereby the water
might be collected In a reservoir. As a
result of the litigation Judge Hebbard
issued a decree to the effect that Fifield
was entitled to the ordinary flow of the
water, but that all the water resulting
from the greater flow, due to storms or
freshet, might be diverted to the use of
the water company. His Honor further
found that the water company never in
tended to use the ordinary flow, but that
the plaintiff was entitled to an Injunction
preventing the use of this supply. How
ever, Attorney Morgan asked that Judge
Hebbard issue a permanent injunction
directed against the Spring Valley Com
pany forbidding it to use any of the wa
ter in San Andreas Creek. This his Honor
refused to do, hence the appeal to the
higher tribunal.

CONSPIRED
TO MURDER
AN OLD MAN
Serious Charge Pre
ferred Against a
Lawyer.
A. Ronaldo Velensuela
Landed in Prison by-
Captain Bohen.
Arrested While in the Company
of Pedro Chavalow, His *
Intended Victim.
BOUND FOR THE KLONDIKE
The Dark Plot Was Hatched by a
Woman in Tucson,
Arizona.
Through the arrest of A. Ronaldo
Velensuela last night, the police say
they have unearthed a deep-laid con
spiracy to murder and rob an old man
for the purpose of getting possession of
his money. The Intended victim of the
dark plot Is Pedro Chavalow, an aged
Frenchman, who arrived here a short
time ago from Tucson, Ariz.
Several days ago Chief Lees received
the following communication from City
Marshal Finley of Tuscon:
I have a favor to ask you which I trust
you will grant. There arrived in your
city on or about January 30 a Mexican
[ named A. Ronaldo Velensuela. I believe
he is stopping at the Brooklyn Hotel. He
is awaiting the arrival of an old French
man named Pedro Chavalow. The lat
ter should arrive in San Francisco about
the Bth or 10th of this month. He and
Velensuela are to go to Alaska. The
Frenchmaun is worth about $75,000 and
carries a life insurance policy for $25,000.
Since their departure from here I am In
formed that the Mexican and the French
man's wife have conspired to take the
old man to the Klondike, where he is to
be killed so that they can get his prop
erty and insurance.
I know the woman to ba a tough char
acter, and I am working hard to get suf
ficient evidence to warrant her arrest.
I can do nothing with them until I
obtain additional proof. I wish you
would find out if they have already gone
to Alaska, and the name of the steamship
they took. Also whether or not they
went together. The Mexican might have
the old man in San Francisco. Yours sin
cerely SAM FINLEY,
J City Marshal.
Chief Lees, after perusing the letter,
turned It over to Captain Bohen. The
latter sent for Detectives Tom Gibson
and Dillon, and after a short conference
they decided to act at once. The chief
of detectives went to the Brooklyn Ho
tel and found the names of Velenzuela
and his alleged victim on the register.
He stationed Gibson and Di'.lon in the
office of the hotel while he went to the
rooms occupied by the men. They
were n»t in, and fearing that the old
man had already been done away with
Bohen. determined not to allow the sus
pected murderer to escape, sent his
men to guard the Oakland ferry.
Shortly after 9 o'clock last night the
aged Frenchman and Velensuela re
turned to the hotel and were met by
two detectives. They were at once
taken to police headquarters, where
they were closely questioned by the
chief of detectives. Velensuela did not
appear surprised when told why he had
been arrested.
"It is all a mlßtake," he remarked,
puffing- away at a clgrar. "I'll be able
to establish my Innocence at the prop
er time."
In answer to Captain Bohen's ques
tions, he said he was an attorney at
law, and that he had been sent here
by Mrs. Chavalow to discourage her
husband from going to the Klondike.
"I tried to dissuade him from mak
ing the trip, he remarked, "and as he
seemed determined I concluded to go
with him. We had already made ar
rangements for provisions, and intend
ed to leave on the next steamer."
Velensuela exhibited a letter which
he received yesterday morning from
the wife of his intended victim. She
asked him not to allow the "old man"
to go to Alaska, as he "would surely
die there." Velensuela made several
contradictory statements when closely
questioned by the detective.
To an interpreter Chavalow said that
he left Arizona he gave Velensuela
Alaska gold fields. He said that betore
he left Arizona he gave Vellensuela
5180, expecting that he would follow
him.
Since his arrival here Chavalow
claims he gave Velensuela $350, which
he sent to a cousin, who lives in Tuc
son. The innocent Frenchman pro
fessed absolute ignorance of the al
legod conspiracy and seemed much de
pressed when told of it.
Yesterday .morning, he said, Velen
suela took him for a drive down the
country and showed him many "beau
tiful farms."
The alleged conspirator -was placed
in the tanks, and will be held pending
further investigation.
Late last night Captain Bohen re
ceived the following telegraphic mes
sage from City Marshal Finley:
Tell the old Frenchman I wrote to you
about to come to Tucson at once, as I
GEORGE B. SPERRY SHOT.
The Weil-Known Business Man the Victim
of a Hunting Accident.
R SERIOUS, possibly fatal, accident occurred yesterday to George B.
l\ Sperry, brother of the Princess Poniatowski and a brother-in-law
fi of William H. Crocker. Mr. Sperry, who is a notable member of
the Country Club, was hunting snipe In the marsh about two miles
from the club house, near Olema, in Marin County, when his shotgun
was accidentally discharged, the pellets entering the lower part of his
thigh and carrying away the kneecap. The sufferer was carried as
soon as possible to Abbott's, the nearest house, and every attention
paid to stanch the blood and relieve the pain. At a late hour It was
stated over the telephone from Olema that Mr. Sperry was resting
easily, and it was thought that he would survive the shock and loss of
blood. He is attended by Dr. Wickman of San Rafael. The wounded
man is manager of the Sperry Flour Mills and first vice-president erf
the Sperry Flour Company. He Is 45 years of age, and is married. His
wife was a Miss Staples of Oakland.
have positive information of the conspir
acy to kill him.
Captain Bohen expects that Mrs.
Chavalow will also be arrested, and
jointly charged with Velensuela.

WALLER OBTAINS
HIS RELEASE
The School Director's Bond Is
Accepted by Judge
Belcher.
Ho Then Visits Chief of Polio© Lees
•knd Walks Forth a Pres
Man.
School Director Waller was In Judge
Belcher's court bright and early yester
day morning for the purpose of giving
himself up and obtaining his release from
custody at the same time. It will be re
membered that on Thursday afternoon
Waller was ready to present his bond
with his two sureties, Thomas Burns and
Joseph F. Naphtaly, each of whom had
qualilied for $5000, but there being no court
open and no judge available the whole
matter was postponed till the next day.
That is why the redoubtable Waller was
on hand so punctually yesterday, for he
wished to avoid any unpleasant conse
quences to himself, and everything was
arranged in the most pleasant manner
imaginable for the School Director who is
under indictment for a felony in asking
a bribe, and from subsequent events it is
plain to be seen that no ordinary offender
is he.
So he came into Judge Belcher's court
with a pleasant smile on his face and his
bond in his hand and submitted the latter
for judicial approval, at the same time
asking for an order of release. The judge
oast his eagle eye over the document, and
seeing that it was in proper shape and
conformed to all legal requirements, ac
cepted the bond without any further de
lay.
The order of release was made out by
Judge Belcher and Waller then went
down stairs with it to the office of Chief
Lees, and Detective Cody took the order
of release to the prison, where it was en
tered on the book and School Director
Waller was again a froe man, although
it can not be said that he was at arty
time really deprived of his liberty.
But Waller being a city and county offi
cial is probably entitled to the little cour
tesies which other officials can extend in
the hour of need, and in Waller's case the
whole affair was as serene and quiet as a
social function.

DR. H. H. HART
HAS RESIGNED
The Local Board of Health
Is Now Short One
Member.
Departure for the East for an
Indefinite Period the
Reason.
Governor Budd Inspects th« Alms
house Tract With tha
Board.
Governor Budd will have the pleasure
of appointing a new member of the
Board of Health as soon as he can de-
cide on a successor for Dr. H. H. Hart,
who tendered his resignation as a mem
ber of that department yesterday.
Dr. Hart chose a most auspicious oc
casion for his retirement from the field
of local municipal affairs. Governor
Budd, Mayor Phelan, president of the
board, and the other members being
present, as well as Health Officer
O'Brien and several Invited guests. The
resignation took place at the Alms
house during the progress of a dinner
that had been tendered to "those present
by Superintendent Reddy. The party
was at the Almshouse to inspect the
tract on which the city poorhouse Is sit
uated, for the purpose of selecting a
site for the City and County Hospital,
which the Board of Supervisors has de
cided to locate on the grounds.
While the repast was In progress, Dr.
Hart arose and surprised most of those
present by announcing that he intend
ed to leave San Francisco for an In
definite period, and that he was con
strained by the circumstances to ten
der his resignation as a member of the
board.
He feelingly recalled the pleasant re
lations he had sustained with his fel
low members and expressed regret that
he must sever his relations with them.
He also went over the history of a
number of actions of the board that
had redounded to the credit of the body
and the advantage of the city, and ex
pressed the hope that the good work
might continue. Dr. Hart's resigna
tion will be accepted at the next regu
lar session of the board. Other mem
bers of the board made addresses con
gratulating the retiring member on his
efforts in promoting the health of San
Francisco, and wishing him every suc
cess in his new field.
It is understood by Dr. Hart's close
friends that while his visit to the East
is ostensibly a vacation, it is quite pos
sible that he may remain, In case a
larger field for his labors develops. It
is an open question who will be ap
pointed to take Dr. Hart's place, and
Governor Budd says he has not as yet
made up his mind about the matter.
The party of inspection on the City
and County Hospital question made a
long and thorough tour of the grounds
and will decide, about the matter at
an early date.
Breaking Customs Seals.
Captain W. H. Greenlage, master of the
British ship Dunnerdale, from Chile, and
Captain R. Linbridge, master of the
American schooner Lila and Mattie, have
been ordered to appear before Collector
Jackson and show cause why they should
not be punished for breaking 1 the customs
seals placed on their vessels by the Cus
tom House Inspectors. The maximum
penalty for this offense is a fin© of $500.
