worst of his own job. and the burning
of a tenement house, in tvhich the hero

In the title part Miss Adele Block's
vivacity was artistically modulated,
and she only displayed overexuberance
when she could not very well exercise
repression and make her idea Intelligi
ble. Miss Adele. Belgarde was appro
priately statuesque as a brummagem
Knickerbocker dame, and Miss Fran
ces Starr has seldom had better oppor
tunity to show her Ingenue piquancy
than she Is afforded in the role tT Cher
ry Perry, soubrette. Miss Marie Howe,
never a misfit, played the Irish < aunt
charmingly. The men moved through
the piece nicely, and for a first produc
tion the hitches were notably few and
ingeniously repaired. Indeed, in the
h/incls of a company less In harmony
and equipped with less readiness of re
source, "Mrs. Jack" would 'ave re
flected even less luster upon the lady
who constructed it.
Hilarity ran riot last evening .in the
audience compartment of the Alcazar
while the first act of "Mrs. Jack'' was
In progress, but after that there was
gradual subsidence of the mirth until
the outbursts became Infrequent and
weak of volume. It was no fault of the
players that the fun failed of suste
nance, for no coterie of stagefolk ever
worked with more intelligence or con
scientious endeavor to make the most
of the material' assigned them. They
were in nowise responsible for the
structural defects of the play.
"Mrs. Jack" was written by Grace
Livingston Furniss, and is classified as
"a farcical comedy In three acts." The
first act Is chockful of smart dialogue
that compensates to some extent for
inadequate action and the farcical ele
ment is well sustained. But Grace Liv
ingston Furniss. evidently exhausted
her grabbag of epigrams on the first
chapter, for the lines of the two suc
ceeding ones are "largely reiterative and
much given to unnecessary interchange
of reminiscence. And the climax of act
2 Is a bit of melodrama — masked bur
glars, revolvers and impossible heroics
— so pronounced that the gallery at the
Central would demand a dozen repeti
tions of it. Act 3 is mostly composed
of platitudes clothed In slang. Some
body Is "up against It" or else it Is "up
to" somebody. After the Initial act the
piece Is chiefly remarkable for Its In
consistencies.
The police think that , the letters ' and
papers that Soeder was so anxious to
secure referred to the conspiracy to
murder a victim for gain. . ¦
Soeder went so far as to offer Frank
Cannon, a man convicted' of". burglary,
the sum of $300 to burn down: the horne
of Miss Flatley in order that the in
criminating letters and papers might be
destroyed. . : •;
Bowie hasalso informed; the police
that when he met Soeder the latter was
in possession of a gold- watch set with
a diamond and also, wore 'at diamond
ring. Soeder Informed him that he had
just returned- from Germany and that
he had come' Into a large inheritance.
Soeder displayed a receipt from a jew
eler's on Third : street, where he^ stated
he had bought the watch and ring.
James Bowie, a cook, residing at 749
Harrison street, has informed Detective
Gibson that he had known Soeder for
seven years. Three weeks ago Bowie
met Soeder and Blaise on Third street.
Soeder took Bowie, Into < a -saloon and
made a proposition to him to steal his
trunk from the house of Miss/Catherine
Flatley. 300 Marshall street, and prom
ised him J40 / for the work. Shortly
afterward Soeder met a cook who in a
friend of Bowie and promised him $20
to assist Bowie In stealing the trunk.
Bowie and his friend decided to have
nothing to do/ with , Soeder, knowing
that he was anex-convlct and-.feared
ho was leading them into a trap. "
Soeder's. reason for asking the two
men. to secure his. trunk was that lie
desired to secure some letters and pa
pers which he did not desire Miss Flat
ley to see. ' .¦ " • •
DESIRED HIS TRUNK STOLEN.
That Soeder was prepared to enter
into desperate criminal acts Is still fur
ther proven by evidence secured yes
terday. . ...
The woman's evidence is of the
greatest value, for it discredits Soe
der's former statement that he was In
his room all last Sunday . evening,
when Blaise met his death. The po
lice have the .woman under surveil
lance.
All persons interviewed by. the police
have been warned to say nothing con
cerning the case to any one except the
detectives detailed to secure informa
tion, while some persons have been
threatened with arrest. The reason for
the secrecy maintained by the police is
that they deshre to secure sufficient evi
dence to warrant the arreat of otner
pet sens. They are perfectly .satisfied
that they now have sufficient evidence
to warrant the conviction of Soeder on
a charge of murder.
Up to two days ago the police, lacked
the evidence of some person to disprove
the alibi of Soeder that he spent the
evening of the murder in ' his room.
The police now ha've a witness to prove
that Soeder was seen in &; saloon on
Pacific street drinking with a- woman
on the Sunday night that Blaise was
murdered. The time that Soeder was
seen in the saloon was two hours after
the hour that Blaise was murdered, the
time of death being fixed at between 9
and 9:30 p. m. by medical testimony.
Detective Thomas Gibson has found
a woman named Teresa, an habitue of
the O. K. saloon dance hall, 517 Pa
cific street, who drank with Leon:Soe
der on Sunday night, two hours after
Blaise was murdered on Russian Hill..
The girl told Gibson and John
Grasso, proprietor of the saloon, that
she is positive that the man was Soe
der, because he had been there on
several occasions before, and once
while there he had his brother-in-law
Blaise with him.
It is known, positively that Chief of
Police Wittman has telegrams in his
possession, sent from New York and
Europe, proving that others were asso
ciated with Soeder in the conspiracy
that led to murder.
WARNED TO KEEP SILENT.
Eight hoursh were lost to the police
by the actions of Captain Martin on
the day the murder was reported. When
the information was sent to police
headquarters that Blaise had been
found dead with his, throat cut, Mar
tin visited the scene of the crime and
then declared that the case was one of
accident. Then he changed his mind
and declared it was suicide, and it was
not until the insurance men appeared
at police headquarters that Martin ad
mitted that the case was one of mur
der. ¦ * ¦ :
In the meantime Soeder was allowed
to roam around the city, take his
clothes to a cleaning works? pawn his
revolver and make away with any
evidence that might have had a direct
bearing on the murder of Blaise.
All the evidence in the possession of
the police has been secured by the work
of Detective Tom Gibson. Gibson was
not put on the case until Soeder had
had every opportuni*" to cover up, his
tracks and destroy important evidence.
While Gibson will not talk and his
superiors refuse to give out any In
formation, it is known that the police
are working on the. lines that a con
spiracy existed that led to the murder
of Blaise for the purpose of securing
money on insurance policies on -the life
of the dead man.
TIME LOST BY THE POLICE.
As in the first stages of the rfurrant
and Botkin murder cases, the police
are either denying the truth of or con
fessing'absolute ignorance as to the
news published concerning evidence
discovered by them.
According to Captain of Detectives
Martin he has accomplished nothing in
the case, liver since the discovery of
the murder of Blaise, Captain Martin
has had but one answer to all ques
tions—"There is nothing new."
The Police Department li using every
means at its disposal to keep secret all
the Information secured against Leon
Soeder, who stands charged with the
murder of his brother-in-law^ Joseph
Blaise. The explosive publication in
The Call yesterday that the police were
actively engaged in searching for evi
dence to warrant the arrest of at least
three accomplices of .Soeder created
considerable, comment in police circles.
Work on this line is still being dili
gently carried on..
It waB given out in Sacramento last
evening that Governor Pardee has de
cided to confer on Major John B.
Laack, traveling passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific Company, and one
of the best known Grand Army men in
this State, the position of adjutant
general of Califrvrr.ia. now held by
Hrlgadier General George Stone. Ear
lier in the day it was learned at the
railroad office that Major Lauck had
handed in his resignation to take ef
fect o:i the last day of the present
month and this bit of news, which was
b^inpr carefully fruarded. was promptly
accepted as confirmatory of the infor
mation received from Sacramento.
Major Lauck has been connected with
th«- Southern Pacific Company's pas
«.-<-np*M- department f<>r many years and
i?' regarded as a valuable employe by
the officials of that road. He has also
been active in Grand Army circles and
the State Guard for years and served
f<">r a long time as commander of one
nf the companies of the Fifth Infantry*
Regiment in Oakland, of which Gov
ernor Parde^ was once also a member.
He Is considered a very capable man
for the position of adjutant general and
it is no doubt this fact that commend
ed him to Governor Pardee.
Simultaneous with the announcement
of Major Lauck's proposed retirement
from the railroad service another was
made that Floyd S. Judah. at present
a clerk in the informaUon bureau, is to
cucceod Lauck as traveling passenger
agent. Young Judah is the son of H.
R. Judah. assistant general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific Company,
and has received much of his railroad
education under the watchful eye of
his expprieneed and popular parent.
"When "William McMurray recently re
signed the position of chief of the in
formation bureau it was expected that
Judali would bo his successor, but in
the light of yesterday's events it ap
pears that the head of the passenger
traffic department of the road had an
other and equally as good position in
store for the young man.
At present harmony reigns in the
Republican camp of the Second Dis
trict. As no election for Governor Is
pending" there are no indications that
disturbing elements will be thrown into
the Congressional contest. It is re
ported that Assistant United States
Attorney D. E. McKinlay of Sonoma is
willing to accept the Republican nomi
nation'for Congress in this ' district.
Efforts are being put forward to induce
Judge John A. Barham of Santa Rosa,
who represented the old .First District
In- Congress for several terms, to re
enter the political arena.. "Word comes
from Yuba County that Colonel E. A.
Forbes may be chosen to carry the
party's standard in the cominsf Con
gressional battle. Frank L. Coombs is
practicing law in' Napa. Many- of his
old-time adherents advise him to ask
for the nomination. It Is predicted that
he would defeat his former antagonist.
Theodore A. Bell. It Is said . that Mr.
Coombs will await th« turn of events.
Republicans who are familiar with ex
istinsr conditions in the district are con
fident that the Democrats cannot hold
the advantage gained two years ago.
It is admitted that Mr. Bell is perr
sonally popular and also energetic, but
the party he represents cannot win
against united Republicans.
At the general election in November,
1902, Frank L. Coombs, the Republican
nominee, received 21.181 votes. Theo
dore A. Bell received 21.536. Sacra
mento County, much to the surprise of
the Republicans, gave the Democratic
candidate- for Congress a -small major
ity. -The clashing of the Flint and
Gage forces for control of certain dele
gations-to the Republican State con
vention caused a bitter flpht against
Mr. Coombs. The fight did not end
with the adjournment of the State con
vention, but was prolonged until the
day 6f election. Ties of personal friend
ship and fraternal association impelled
the Republican nominee for -Congress
to express sympathy with Mr. Flint's
aspiration for, gubernatorial honors.
Leaders of the anti-Flint faction retal
iated by knifing Coombs at the general
election. •.
The election next November of a
solid Republican Congressional delega
tion I from California would not create
much surprise In the political camps.
The preliminaries for the contest in the
Second. District are now under consid
eration. The counties of Mendocino,
Glenn. . Col usa, Butte. Sutter. -Yuba,
Sacramento, Yolo, Lake. Napa. Sonoma
and Marin comprise this district, which
is now represented in Congress by The
odore A. Bell of Napa. It is common
gossip that the Republicans, under
fairly acceptable leadership, .can regain
the lost ground next November. It is
regarded as settled that Mr. Bell will
be renominated by the Democrats.
Luporini did lot see the men until
they had pounced upon him. He start
ed to resist, and was promtply. rapped
on the head with the butt of a revolver.
The baker was momentarily stunned by
the- blow, but was conscious enough to
know that one. of the thugs still had
him covered, while the other was going
through his pockets. ' .•
Taking the $130, r.ll the money the un
fortunate man had in his possession,
¦the two robbers started to run down
Broadway to the water front" Luporini
had a police whistle, and as soon as the
thieves started lo run he blew it vig
orously.
Officers Silver and Minahan, who
happened to be in the neighborhood,
heard the whistle and chdsed the flee
ing robbers down Broi dway. They
were joined by several oedestrians and
pursued the thugs to a point near the
water front, where they- escaped among
the numerous freigl.t cars that line the,
streets at that place.
The pursuit was very exciting for the
time that it lasted. The. police * are
still working on the case and hope to
apprehend 'the criminals before long.
¦'Antone Luporini, an Italian baker,
was held up an robbed of $130 early
Monday moTning. ; Luporini was walk
ing up Broadway, near Montgomery
avenue, when two men wearing black
masks jumped^out. f rom ; a dark door
way and, thrusting- revolvers' into the
Italian's face;; commanded him to turn
over his cash.
Practically if not all the troops going
to and coming from the Philippines
pass through here, and the post should
from its standpoint of importance be
placed second to none in this coun
try. All had calculated that the visit
of the Secretary would bring about the
desired results.
General MacArthur has decided to
postpone the crand review of all the
troops announced for Wednesday morn
ing until a later date.
No post in the United States is so
prominent before the nation to-day
from a military standpoint as the Pre
sidio, and no post has received so little
attention and so little consideration
from the Government. No post in the
Unien can to-day boast of so many
troops quartered within its environ
ments, and no post is so inadequately
fitted for the housing of these troops.
It is true that during the last six
rtvmths improvements to the extent of
possibly J250.000 have been made. These,
however, were actual necessities.
NEEDS OF THE PRESIDIO.
It was the original intention to land
the Secretary at Oakland mole, but the
Slocum is too deep draught to land
there, so the ferry slip will be the ob
jective point.
Why the new Secretary is to be hur
ried through in such great haste may
lead to many conjectures. Perhaps the
sounds of war., in Japan and at the
isthmus of Panama may have had
something to do with the Secretary's
movements, and this is the only pos
sible apology that can be offered to
San Francisco for his not remaining
here long enough to inspect so impor
tant a post as the Presidio and to give
him an insight into the harbor, its de
fenses and its needs.
The Slocum will then proceed imme
diately to the ferry slip at the foot of
Market street, where the Secretary will
board the ferry leaving at 10 a. m. to
connect with the through train to the
East.
According to the present arrange
ments the reception to the new Secre
tary will tak* place immediately after
the steamer Korea passes through the
Golden Gate. That is. the formal
greeting from the representatives of
the Government will be extended to the
distinguished official by Colonel George
Andrews, adjutant general o* the Di
vision of the Pacific, who goes as rep
resentative of weneral MacArthur. and
Major Parker W. West, aid to General

The. announcement that ex-Governor

the cause of great disappointment to
the citizens of San Francisco and also
to all the army officials here.
The plans for the grand review of
the troops at the Presidio and the en
tertainment to be given to the distin
guished guest are all upset by the ca
blegram that Governor Taft has sent

; - Sealskin is admired the world over for
its* softness and glossiness, and yet tha
human hair is equally as soft Rnd glossy
when healthy, and the radical cause of
I all hair trouble is dandruff, which Is
caused by a pestiferous parasite that

Newbro's Herplddeis the only prepara-

Without dandruff there is no falllnc
