Little Swiss Girl Sets Her Eye on
the Leading Money Prize
Heavy Voting Ex
pected in Con
test Today
Friday, as usual, was the quietest
day of the week in the gold prize con
test — not that the contestants do not
work as hard on that day as any other,
but most of th^m hold the votes they
secure on Friday to help swell their
total for Saturday, so as to make a
good showing In The Sunday Call. Last
Saturday's voting was the heaviest of
thp period, and indications are that
there will again be very heavy voting
today. All votes should be in by 4
p. m. in order ' to be included in the
count for the day. Contestants will
rr'^as© take notice and govern them
selves accordingly.

with Miss Hartz.
Miss Hayward added another 6000 to
h<*r neore and is leaving the Ban Jose
newsboy far in her wake. "Jack" will
have to look out now or Miss Breschini
will have him bumping the bumps next.
Emerson received a windfall of 2500
: votes from Suisun yesterday.
, Miss Lois B. Pfitzer gained 3300, and
another boost like that will place her

WOMAN TRICED UP FOR
HOURS BY BRUTAL THUG
Binds Her Hands and Feet
and Imprisons Her in
V Clothes Closet
" TTith amazing boldness a brutal
. thief, or more properly a flend, after
beating and tricing up a woman, the
sole occupant of a house at 1532 A San
chez street, on Thursday afternoon,
ransacked the building, secured $12 and
a suit of clothes and escaped. The at
tack was reported to the police yes
terday morning and Immediately a
vigorous search for the offender was
I begun. The woman, Mrs. Mildred
Cozeau, the young wife of John Cozeau,
an employe in the treasury department
of the Southern Pacific Company In
this city, is still suffering severely as
a result of the hour and a half she
spent while bound hand and foot and
triced up to a hook in a clothes closet.
Mrs. Cozeau yesterday described her
terrible experience to Detectives Burke
-and Smith. She related how. while
she was hanging out clothes on the
back porch about 1 o'clock, a stranger
entered the rear gate and inquired for
old rags, bottles and sacks; how he had
persisted in drawing closer to her, and
finally, when she had to!d him she
would call her husband, how he had
sworn at her and seized her by the
• throat.
• * After inuflllng her screams with his
hand, the robber bound her hand and
foot, kicked her In the ribs, thrust her
I Into a clothes closet and then tied her
hands to a hook in the wall several
Inches higher than her head. In this
position she -was found three hours
later by her brother-in-law, E. H. Co
zeau, a Etreet car conductor on the
Castro-street line, and when released
by him she fell in a swoon on the
floo-. Her husband was immediately
• summoned by telephone, and. after
* learning the extent of his wife s in
juries and seeing that she was prop
erly cared for. he set out in search of
a man who would, answer the descrip
tion given by his wife.
A good description of the robber was
furnished both by Mrs. Cozeau and by
Jeremiah McSweeney. -who keeps a
grocery on the corner near the Cozeau
home and -which place the man visited
Immediately before attacking the
woman.

GRAND JURY TO CLOSE
THE FIRETRAP THEATERS
Investigates Violation of
Laws by Sam Davis
and Others
The Indifference to the safety of pa
trons and defiance of the building ordi
nances, shown most flagrantly by the
management of \the Davis Theater, in
McAllister street, near Flllmore, and in
a lesser degree by the managements of
many other playhouses in the city, were
the subjects yesterday of an investiga
tion by the Grand Jury. That body is
determined to make the theaters either
comply with the requirements , of the
law or force the Board of Public "Works
to close them.
It developed that Mayor Schmitz was
directly responsible for the existence of
such flretraps as the Davis Theater and
the other places maintained in violation
of the building ordinances. Supervisor
Sam Davis, owner of the Davis Theater,
helped to enact the very laws that he
has so boldly violated.
The ordinances require that all thea
ter buildings^shall be fireproof, class A
structures, and it is expected that the
jury will recommend that the Board of
Works exert its prerogatives and close
all the houses that are dangerous. The
only theaters in town which conform
to the ordinances are the American, the
Orpheum and the Colonial. The Colo-' 1
nlal fails In a few particulars to meet
the requirements of the ordinances.
The representatives of the Board of
Works, who testified yesterday, put the
blame for the deathtraps on Mayor
Schmlt2, who, it was explained, had is
sued special permits for them. It was
also r asserted that the policeman on the
beat In each instance had been derelict
in his duty in failing to report viola
tions of the building laws. The wit
nesses examined were Fire - Marshal
Charles Towe;,L.oulfc Levy, secretary of
the" Board of Public Works; John P.
Horgan, chief of the bureau of Inspec
tion of the Board of Works, and Chief
P. Shaughnessy of the Fire Department.
President George Duffey of the Board
of »»'orks and Commissioners Ed Aigel
tinger. and Thomas Egan were in at
tendance at the meeting, but were not
called upon to testify. The Grand Jury
will hear their explanations next Tues
day.
Towe testified to the many violations
of the building ordinances in the mat
ter of wooden buildings within the fire
limits, as well as in the construction of
"theaters that are flretraps. "Since the
fire I have not taken my wife to a thea
ter, knowing the constant danger to the
lives of those who attend," declared
the Fire Marshal.
Levy-and Horgan both testified that
the Board of Public Works had paid no
attention to the construction of build
ings erected in violation of the ordi
nance. There was no record of the fire
trap theaters in the files of the board.
Chief Shaughnessy strongly condemned
i the theater buildings of the city. He
was commended by the Jurors for the
work that he has done in re-establish
ing the ' efficiency of the Fire
ment.
The Grand Jury adopted a resolution
to be transmitted to the Board of Su
pervisors asking for, the repeal of the
ordinance prohibiting passengers on the
United Railroads system from riding
on the outside of cars. The Jurors
agreed that the ordinance was; solely
to the advantage *of the car ;' company,
which might use It as a defense In case

ACTIVE WORK TO BEGIN
ON BERING SEA ROAD
Son of Promoter of Vast
t Enterprise Pays Visit
to San Francisco -
Rene de Lobel, a French mining: en
gineer, has been in San Francisco the
last few days partly for his health
and partly to promote j the project of
a Siberian-Alaskan railway, for which
his father, Count de Lobel, has re
ceived a commission from the Russian
Government. De Lobel completed his
business in the city yesterday and left
for Los Angeles, where , he will make
a brief stay before departing for Paris.
As explained yesterday by De Lobel
at the Hotel Savoy, the proposed rail
road, will connect with the Trans-
Siberian line at Irkutsk. The main
line will extend north of Lake Baikal
to East Cape, in Siberia. At this point
it will run through tunnels to.be con
structed under Bering, Strait to.; Cape
Prince of Wales Island, thence through
Alaska and a portion-, of Canada' to
Port Simpson, where it will . connect
with the Grand Trunk, making, an all
rail route from any of the principal
cities, of the Dominion or the United
States to Paris. / ;
The concession obtained from the
Russian Government Includes a right
of way across Siberia, with a stretch
of land five miles wide on either, side
of the track.' The sale of these lands,
it Is figured, will bring in a sufilcient
revenue to carry the project to com
pletion.
The most interesting, feature of the
plan is the proposed tube under Ber
ipg Sea. As outlined yesterday by
De . Lobel, three tunnels will be con
structed. The first will run^ from East
Cape in Siberia to Little Diemede
Island, the second to Big Diomede
Island and the. third to Cape Prince
of Wales. None of these tunnels will
be more than eleven miles long, and
the total distance across the channel
will not "exceed twenty-eight miles.
According to .the terms of the con
cession, work must be ,begun not : _ later
than May 1 of this year. A force of
surveyors, under Captain Healy, left
San Francisco for Alaska in Decem
ber of last year and has begun pre
liminary operations on the Alaska side.
Active work is about to begin In Si
beria. ' \u25a0* : :
The American branch of. the com
pany was recently Incorporated In New
Jersey. The engineering work * has
been placed under the control of P.
Waddell of Chicago. "American meth
ods," said De Lobel yesterday, "will
prevail throughout the. enterprise."/

are concerned. In a report Issued yes
terday by W. V. Stafford. State Labor
Commissioner, It Is pointed but that
599 public eating houses, exclusive of
hotels and boarding-houses, are now in
operation lnJthe city. In these estab
lishments 4888 persons find employment
and seating room is afforded for 89.463
patrons. Far more than this number,
however, are regular patrons of restau
rants, for several establishments feed
an average of twice their seating ca
pacity three times daily.
There are at present flfty-one Japan
ese and ten Chinese restaurants in San
Francisco. In the Caucasian restau
rants the time of labor averages ten
hours. In the Japanese cafes It aver
ages twelve hours and In some cases
extends to fifteen.
"The general sanitation and cleanli
ness of the restaurants of San Fran
cisco as a whole," says the report,
"compare favorably with conditions be
fore the fire."
