Fashion Show Held
At Hall of Justice
Chief of Police D. Augustus While. One picture shows him as a civilian
and the other in uniform.
Chief of Police Appears in New Uniform
With His Hair Cut to Match
Pan Francisco's spring fashion show
opened yesterday. Most people prob
ably thought tiie exhibit was confined
to the retail shopping district. Wrong
again. It included the hail of justice
in Kearny street, rhief of Police T>.
August us White appeared in his new
uniform.
This Augustus word, which is in
cluded in the cognomen of the chief
of police, never was applicable until
yesterday. In former times the thief
has been Giis. That was true last
June, when he was appointed head of
the department.
Gus is all right for a man who doesn't
wear a uniform. It is good and casual,
but when a man comes out in a real
uniform with the shoulder straps of a
brigadier general then he is august
and Augustus is the only name that
can Vie clapped upon him. No one re
members what the initial D in White's
name stands for. Possibly it is 'T>ur
able." At least the chiefs tenure of
office is more durable than the men
who write th^ handbooks on police
changes ever thought it would be.
Durable Augustus "White seems to b»
the lettering that will b<» painted on
the door of the chiefs office.
White appeared in his uniform yes
terday as the gongs of Chinatown
across the plaza were calling the hun
gry to their noon chop siicy.
It Is a chaste but glorious uniform.
It is the fatigue uniform of a general.
The coat is cut sack, without any but
tons showing. It is probably fastened
with hooks and eyes, though the chief
hasn't taken any one into his confi
dence on that .subject. On the
SLEUTH HUSBAND
FAILS TO APPEAR
Failure of Edgar G. Mundorf, a
Southern Pacific detective, to appear
before Judge E.■{P. Mogan .and refute
allegations of inconstancy caused the
court yesterday to award an interlocu
tory decree of divorce to Mrs. Anna
Mundorf on charges of infidelity and
desertion. ; . . ';i /.
The complaint of Mrs. Mundorf re
cited that she .was married to Mun
dorf at Sacramento. July D, ; 1902,: and
that for eight years while the hus
band was a first sergeant: in the coast
artillery they resided at Fort Baker.
Later they moved to Sausalito live
with the wife's parents and Mundorf
left her, in Sanaallto to take up residence
at 60 Pleasant street-with;a Mrs. Case
bolt, -who was named in the suit as
corespondent.'
.An answer denying the charges of
his wife was filed by the soldier sleuth
and an affidavit in behalf- of the co
respondent was presented to the court
by Attorney R. D. Knight. Neither de
fendant nor i'ie '-. woman named in the
case- appeared: yesterday 'when ~ the
cause was Heard, and Judge Mogan
thereupon awarded ■ the decree to s the
wife through default.. The court also
allowed her $30 ■ month alimony.
The* following .were, granted inter- ;
locutory decrees of divorce*yesterday:'

straps edged with gold braid one cen
timetre deep and in the middle of the
Mack velvet spacr. twinkles a single
star, one to each shoulder, a golden
star, sttch as brigadier general? wear.
The material of which the uniform
is cut is army blue broadcloth.
The chief has a new cap with lots
of gold braid on it and th<> single and
effective word "Chief" embroidered
across the front. It is left tn the im
agination that the wearer of the cap
is chief of police.
Over his heart the chief wears the
gnJd badge of his office, a shield set
with a diamond and surmounted by an
eagle. Tt is a tasty badge, all right,
and impressive.
There are no stripes on the trousers
of the new uniform. Tt isn't because
the tailor didn't have any white flannel
in stock, but because the chief didn't
think that his uniform required these
furbelows. Anyway, the chief had to
have something about his uniform to
distinguish Jt from a captain's.
Andrew Gaughren. detective sergeant
and drill master of the police depart
ment, designed White's uniform and a
tailor fitted it to measure. The tailor
made a good job of it.
And while the tailor was cutting the
uniform a barber was cutting the
chiefs hair.
Sure, Mike, there was a fashion show
at the hall of justice yesterday.
The police department has waited 10
months for Chief White to qualify with
a uniform. But the effect was almost
worth the wait, quite, when it is con
sidered that a hair cut was thrown in.

"FRANKLIN MacVEAGH.
"Secretary."
The belief that the I'nited States
treasury department and Secretary
Franklin MacYeagh favored the con
tinuation of tlie San Francisco mint
was Riven double assurance yesterday,
when telegrams were received on the
subject from the secretary and from
Congressman William Kent.
Secretary MacYeagh telegraphed to
Clerk Dunnigan of the board of super
visors and to A. A. Watkins, president
of the San Francisco board of trade,
that the treasury department favored
the continuation of the mint at its pres
ent standard and had in its estimates
for the department submitted to con
press included the recommendation of
the necessary allowance for the opera
tion of the San Francisco mint.
t O\KIRMATIO\ FOR CAU
A more explicit statement of the situ
ation in Washington, agreeing: with the
exposition made by The Call of the
' conditions reg-ardinfsr the mint at the
national capital, was priven in a tele
' srain received by the board of super
\ isors from William Kent, congressman
from the second district.
The telegram contained the informa
tion that the treasury officials favored
the continuance, of coinage in the San

The telegram follow-:
"I'linger to continuance of coinage in

the fight yesterday.
(I,IBV\OME> AID FIGHT
The California Hub, the most influ
ential organization of women in the
west, adopted the following: resolutions,
which were signed by Mrs. F. H. Abbott,
chairman of the resolutions committee,
ami Mrs. Lord] White, president of the
club:
Whereas, a proposal has been
made in congress to reduce the ap
propriation for the support of the
San Francisco mint, thereby rnt
ting oft* the coinage and making
the mint simply an assay office;
and
Whereas, the San Francisco mint
was established in 1854 and has
mined nearly $2,000,000,000 of gold
and silver money; and
Whereas, this coinage has been
a great commercial asset and ben
efit to the Pacific coast and has put
a large amount of money into cir
culation; and
Whereas, the discontinuance of
this coinage would cause a great
loss to the mining interests of this
state and divert the bullion of the
Yukon and Alaska to other places,
thereby entailing a great financial
loss to the Pacific coast; and
Whereas. It is a public duty to
maintain a mint in the territory
producing the majority of precious
metals, and among a people who
alone in the United F ates use al
most exclusively a metallic cur
rency and whose trade with the
Philippines and the orient makes
gold coin a necessity, and
Whereas, There is just as much
refining of silver coinage as there
ever was. and the net profit on
these operaiions has already car
ried the expense of the gold coin
age and yielded a handsome profit,
be it
Resolved. That the California
club of California hereby urges
the congressional delegation from
n\\ the Pacific state to take im
mediate and vigorous action
against the proposed reduction of
the appropriation for the San Fran
cisco mint, and urges it to work
for the keeping of a coinage de
partment on the Pacific coast.

propriation for the mint at San Fran

the resolutions will be forwarded by

"MONTE CRISTA"
PASADEXA, March 6.—M. J. Can
dory, who was identified by Mrs. Jack
Cudahy as the masked man who forced
an entrance into her home last week,
stated at his hearing today that his
troubles were due to reading Alexandre :
Dumas' "Count of Monte Cristo."
He did not explain how the famous ;
novel got him into his predicament, j
and the police are more baffled than '■■
ever.
Mrs. Cudahy testified that Candory j
was the masked man with whom she |
struggled, and the prisoner made ye- j
hement denial. He declared that his j
motive for calling on Mrs. Cudahy i
later, when arrested, was to secure em- j
ployment as a detective.
His first story that he had been of- |
fer»d 25 $20 bills to g^t Mrs. Cudahy's !
signature to a typewritten document, i
he said was a fabrication.
The hearing was continued until
Wednesday.
