MRS. MAY BESIEGED
BY PROCESS SERVERS
Calls Upon Lawyer to Save
Her From Callers at
the Fairmont -
NSWERS LILIENTHAL
Claims Attorney Attempted
f to. Defraud Her by
Wording of Note
Mrs. Florence Land May, the pretty
southern woman whose legal difficulties
with tenants and rugmen have con
sumed so much space in the daily papers,'
spent most of yesterday hiding behind
the locked doors" of her rooms in- the
Fairmont hotel, afraid to : leave ; the
apartment because outside there hov
ered a body of process servers, minions
of Mihran, dealer in oriental rugs and
casher of promissory notes, who sought
to serve a summons in a new action.:
! While Mrs. May remained. thus a vir
tual prisoner, her attorney filed an an
swer in one of the numerous other suits
in which Jesse W. Lillenthal, .an at
torney, is accused of an ."attempt -to de
, fraud her in connection with one of the
promises to pay.
The siege began early in the morning
when an individual approached the ho
tel clerk and demanded that he be con
ducted to the presence of the southern
beauty. This was refused, for the ho
tel management does not permit min
ions of the law to ; bother Its patrons.
There speedily followed others, all of
them refusing to give their names but
insisting that they be led forthwith, to
Mrs. May's apartment. They circled
around the hotel lobby and when Mrs.
May. forewarned by the clerk, declined
to come down, they attempted to climb
the stairs to her apartmept.
Hearing of this, and becoming thor
oughly alarmed, Mrs. May rang up her
attorney. Leslie E. Burks, at his office
In the Monadnock building and im
plored him to hurry her to her assist
ance. On reaching the hotel in answer
to her call, Burks found, the process
servers camped before the doors of the
hotel awaiting the time when Mrs. May
should appear. There was a scatter
ing as soon as the lawyer put. In his
appearance, for he told them that if
the persecution of his client was kept
up any longer he would appeal to the
polloe. This did- not suit the men and
they left In a hurry.
Even after that Mrs. May oould not
be induced to permit any one save her
lawyer to enter her rooms. To Burks
she talked regarding the answer to a
cross complaint by the Mihran forces
in the now famous rug matter. That
answer, which is on file In. the county
clerk's office, Impeaches Lllienthal.
Burks, attorney for -Mrs. May, said
last night that while It' was doubtful
whether Lllienthal would be called Into
the case further than to deny the
charges made against him by Mrs. May,
it was probable that Lillenthal would
be called to explain the allegations
made by her.
In the answer Mrs. May asserts that
Lllienthal is guilty of "Intent to wrong,
cheat and defraud" her in the drawing
up of a promissory note for $2,625. The
note was, according W the answer,
drawn by Lilienthal in his office, and
the paper goes on to state that when
Mrs. May pointed out that it read "pay
able one day after date," Lillenthal as
sured her that the words were "a mere
matter of form."
ANGRY PASSENGERS CHASE
POLICEMAN TO STATION
Throws Woman Off a Car and Is
Beaten Badly by Enraged
Citizens
For brutally throwing a frail woman
off a Castro street car yesterday morn-
Ing, while attempting to clear the- car,
a pollcfeman was severely beaten by a
crowd of angry passengers and chased
to the central police station, where he
had to take refuge to escape more pun
ishment at their hands.
The car, which was bound for the
ferry, received orders to switch back
at Fifth and Market streets. When the
conductor told the passengers to trans
fer to another car, they, angrily de
manded that the car proceed. This the
conductor refused to do", and as the
passengers showed no disposition to
move, he called the policeman to assist
him. The policeman- boarded the car,
seized the woman by the arm and threw
her off bodily. A moment more and he
followed, impelled by a dozen willing
hands and feet of passengers, who then
punished him and later pursued him
to the station.'
OAKLAND COUNCIB TAKES
UP SALOON REGULATIONS
President Elliot Suggests That the
Number Be Restricted and the
License Increased
OAKLAND, Oct. 18.— At a meeting of
the <!ity council last evening the regu
lation of the retail liquor license was
brought up. President Elliot suggested

stricted to 346. that the license be

rants without bars $500, straight sa- i
loons $600 and restaurants with " bars
attached $700. . -- , ; ;r; r
Councilman Burns suggested that the
Ealoons bounded by the water front to
Twenty-second'street and Harrison to
Brush streets be taxad $600 a year, and
that $100 a* year be charged all keepers
of places outside of these limits.
The matter will be; voted upon by the

COURT CANNOT REVIEW
ACTION OF SUPERVISORS
Superior Judge Waste Renders a De
. cision in Case Involving Grant
ing of Saloon Licenses
; OAKLAND, Oct 18.— Superior Judge
Waste, decided .today, .that the. action
of the board of supervisors In granting
saloon licenses is purely legislative
and cannot be reviewed by a court
The ruling was made in a suit brought
by J.-N.. Moore against the board,* In
which Moore alleged that \u25a0 the granting
of a license to W.. W. Hopkins had
been Illegally made. . The .license was
granted in the face of a strong pro
test during which Attorney Dudley
Kinsell was forbidden,, on the ground
of misconduct the privilege of address
ing the board. Kinsell argued that
numerous statutes had been* broken In
granting Hopkins* license. This
license permitted Hopkins? to open a
saloon close to, Mills college in East
Oakland and Mrs. Susan Mills. Its
president, was „ one of the protegtants.

Special Correspondence of The

HONOLULU. Oct. 11.— J. Lor 'Wal
lach. .a mechanic, who, has .created a
furor a throughout the territory because
of his declaration that he has discov
ered a speedy and permanent cure for
leprosy, has announced 4hat If the ter
ritorial board of; health will not allow
him to practice on the lepers on.Molo
kal he will enter politics, run for mayor
of Honolulu,^ work for the success of
the retrogressive home rule native par
ty and generally upset political condi
tions here.* As at least 90 per cent of
the Hawaiians believe in his claims and
are prepared to support him in eve.ry
way possible, the matter is being seri
ously considered by the authorities.
At a: meeting jof the board Qf health
held on Tuesday a large number of the
members of the local senate and house
of representatives appeared and urged
the claims of the alleged healer. Sen
ator ChllHngworth saying that 95 per
cent of- the natives now regarded Wal
lach as a second Messiah. Delgate to
Congress Kalanlanaole also urged upon
the board the necessity of giving Wal
lach an opportunity to show what he
could do. although , the ' delegate gave
as his personal opinion that the man
was ' a b raz en faker.
For weeks the newspapers of Hono
lulu have devoted columns to the dis
cussion raging about YFallacK Governor
Frear has found it necessary to con
sider Wallach's claims and much unrest
exists " among the wards "of the terri
tory at Kalaupapa.
It Is probable that the authorities
will be forced by public "clamor to al
low the man to take charge of a num
ber of . lepers for six months or more,
although the Ingredients in his medi
cine, as given out by himself, are such
things \u25a0 as moss from female rocks,
worms killed in their sleep by artificial
heat, the germ of an egg, roots of
young deer horns and other things.
In default of receiving the permission
he desires, "Wallach announces that he
will begin a tour of the islands at once,
taking with him 12 lepers he Is treat
ing. The lepers will be armed and, ac
cording to the healer, they are pledged
to resist any attempt to capture them
on the part of the board of health au
thorities.

Crane enthusiastically,' "we have the
most lovely river scenery in the world.
All you have to do is to go up to Sac
ramento at night and take the boat
down, and you will see sights which
beat anything in the- world. Why,
my friend, Charley. Stokes, who has
gone up and. down the Ganges and the
Volga and the Irrawaddy and the Hoo
gli arid the -Danube ana-the Amazon,
says that the Sacramento river scenery
has them all beaten to a finish.
"Then, you should taste the menu on
the boats. ; If you once tasted It you
would never "forget It — wild ducks, wild
fish and wild ' fruit. - The river stops at
ev^ry orchard In y time for you to pick
the fruit for your meals and then goes
on again, with the boat. Why, of course
In California we do everything. we can
to please the tourists. Why shouldn't
the river stop at every orchard if It
wanted to. eh? Ask Gill over there,
and he'll say. the same thing." ..
W. 8. Palmer, general manager of the
Northwestern Pacific, j has returned
fromTatrlp of inspection of the pro
posed route of his line to Eureka,
Humboldt county. He said yesterday;
"Ttfe country for seven' miles south
of Shively will make railroad building
expensive. It is heatily timbered, has
a heavy growth of underbrush and is
mountainous. The lumber companies
own this land and are clearing .It as
fast as they are able, we paying a cer
tain proportion of the expense. \u25a0 There
Is also to be a tunnel built in this
seven, miles on which work already, has
been commenced. We have begun grad
ing r; on the line north from Willits
and ?\u25a0 several men and teams are em
ployed." \ .
.The new western classification, appli
cable ion all lines west of Chicago,
which .has just gone into effect has a
significant" new rule which should be
taken notice of by a .certain class of
small shippers and which looks aa if it
had^been adroitly slipped In by the
transportation companies and passed
unwittingly by the Interstate commerce
commission. "I It reads ; as follows:
tTWhere the classification provides rates
for articles in tank cars, it should be
understood 7 that ; such rating does not
carry any 'obligation on the part ;of
the carrier 'to furnish, tank cars in case
the carrier does not own or has made
no arrangements for supplying • such
equipments."

ARRESTED WITH WEAPONS
Guards Put on Street. Cars to'
Help Crews Fight Are
in Trouble
Following the trouble which occurred
Thursday night on an outbound Ingle
side car, when Charles Powers, the
conductor, was chased from his car and
forced to appeal to a policeman for
protection, seven employes of the
United Railroads were placed on the
car leaving the ferry at the same time
last night and all seven of them landed
in jail before the trip was ended.
- The men were arrested for carrying
concealed 'weapons. Their arrest took
place after they had ridden on the car
from the ferry to Twenty-third and
Mission streets, and after they had
been participants in half a dozen fights.
The arrests were made by two police
men, who boarded the car in plain
clothes, picked out the disturbers and
searched them for weapons.
Powers, the conductor who was
forced to flee from his car, swore to
John Doe warrants against his assail
ants yesterday. Two of them were
served last night and^Gustav Brandt
and Frank Andrews were arrested for
assault with a deadly weapon and bat
tery, respectively.

FUNSTON-HENRY EPISODE
IS THEME IN SOCIETY
Gossips Discuss Matron's
Presence at Reception
Without Invitation -
DETAILS LEAK OUT
Mrs. Henry Is Said to Have
Achieved a Coup by At
tending Event
Although neither Sirs. Frederick
Funston nor her unbidden guest at the
recent brilliant naval reception, Mrs.
Malcolm Henry, has volunteered an
explanation as to how the latter man
aged to be among those present at
the elaborate society event, the wag
ging tongues of gossip have done their
work well, and with their aid publicity
has been given to the details of the
episode that has caused such a flutter
among the 400.-
Accordlng to the tales that are going
the rounds. Mrs. Funston failed to in
vite Mrs. Henry for the reason that the
latter never had paid her social re
spects, and the general's wife, deter
mined upon making the naval recep
tion a strict one in accordance with
the rules of the army and navy folk,
could not see her way clear to invite
one who had neglected to call upon her
formally.
Mrs. Henry was dumfounded, of
course, when the expected Invitation
did not reach her. Herself a great fa
vorite in army circles, she was unable
to figure out why she had been
neglected.
"According to the gossip at the Pre
sidio, Mrs Henry determined upon a
social coup to secure an Invitation to
the Funston reception. Mrs. Henry
Immediately sent out Invitations to a
reception to the navy officers, to be
given the day following the Funston
affair. Her first invitations were ad
dressed to the commanding general
and his wife, the presumption being, of
course, that the . Funstons would
straightway return the compliment.
Instead, however, the Funstons sent a.
quiet declination. Mrs. Henry was not
to be deterred, however, and when the
guests of Mrs. Funston gathered at
Fort -Mason she was among them.
