her own room. As she pushed the door
open two men brushed her roughly
aside and rushed out of the back door,
which had been left open when the in

only of the jewels In her trunk, which
she supposed the robbers had stolen,
Mrs. Runaldue pluckily. and without
thought of the danger, sprang after
the retreating forms.

Owing to the fact that two buildings
make a very narrow rear entrance to
the court of the apartment house, the

Schaefles, a cook at the Western hotel,
died last night, presumably of slow
poisoning resulting in an attempt to
save 160 hotel chickens from death.
Doctor Mueller, who attended her for

felt so herself, she said. Despite all
the doctor could co she died last

BIG HIT SCORED
BY SYMPHONY
CONCERT
Solid Afternoon of Whole
some German Music Evokes
Applause of Audience
For the season's fourth symphony
concert at the Cort theater yesterday
Mr. Hadley gave a solid afternoon of
wholesome German music. From the
Brahms' No. 1 symphony, in which the
orchestra was plainly not at its best,
the program unfolded an example of
artistic improvement that culminated
in a delightful rendition of the music
from the third act of Wagner's im
mortal "Die eMisterslnger." J
Mr. Clarence Whitehill. late of the*
Chicago grand opera company, was
the soloist. He sang what is perhaps
the saddest scene Wagner ever wrote,
that of the god Wotan's farewell to
his daughter Brunnhilde, in a. sympa
thetic and resonant voic«* of big range
and moderately large volume. The
audience, large and up to this point
not very enthusiastic, gave the singer
a hearty ovation, in which Conductor
Hadley was rightfully included for
his masterful interpretation of the
wonderful score full of the ever re
curring sleep motive and the difficult
"magic fire."
HUMPEHDINCK OVERTURE
The biggest individual hit of the
afternoon was scored by the beauti
ful Humperdinck overture from the
"Konigskinder." Here was music of
sheer sensuous beauty, full of inspira
tion and rich in orchestration —taken
at a lively pace by Hadley and his
men and played throughout with spirit
and feeling.
The last Wagner number consisted
of the "Apprentice Dance," "Entrance
of the Guilds" and the "Procession of
Meistersingers." from the third act of
"Die Meistersinger," and showed
every result of careful rehearsing,
particularly in the brasses, which
were here at their best.
BRAHMS SYMPHONY
In the Brahm symphony, which,
though rich in material and harmon
ization, showed Brahms lack of
knowledge of orchestration, the or->
■ hestra seemed to lack precision and
tone balance. The second movement
was marked by some beautiful en
semble work in the wood-wind sec
tion and a delightfully played oboe
solo by Mr. Bertram. The difficult
pizzicato stringendo of the fourth
movement was almost perfect and
with the opening of the final allegro
of this movement, some times com
pared to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
in style, the orchestra seemed to wake
up aud gave a splendid account of
themselves.
YEAR'S FINAL CONCERT FRIDAY
The San Francisco Symphony or
chestra will give its last symphony
concert ,of the year 1913 at the Cort
theater next Friday afternoon. As a
fitting close to the first half of the
1* 13-14 season the orchestra will give
a program devoted entirely to the
works of Richard Wagner. This
being the centenary of the birth of
the master. Wagner festivals are
being held in every portion of the civ
ilized globe. As this city's tribute

U. S. Grand Jury Investigates
Western Fuel Presents to
Pacific Mail Men
St. Nicholas and Old Nick appear to
have been caught in a strange part
nership In the Western fuel case, un
der investigation by the federal grand
jury. Cash Christmas presents from
the Western Fuel company to the Pa
cific Mail Steamship company em
ployes formed the subject of inquiry
before the grand jury yesterday and
will receive further attention when
that body meets again Tuesday.
According to the testimony before
the grand Jury it had been the prac
tice of the Western Fuel company to
give gifts of $20 or $26 to certain
employes of the Pacific Mall who were
engaged in handling or account) n«
for coal delivered by the fuel firm to
the steamship company.
David C. Norcross, secretary of the
fuel company, testified that the Yule
tide gifts were regularly entered on
the books of his concern. Edward
Park, a coal weigher for the Pacific
Mall, testified that he had received
$20 as a Christmas gift from the
Western Fuel company. Thomas
Sawdon, formerly a chief engineer
with the steamship company, gave
testimony touching on the charge
that the Pacific Mai! engineers and
those of other steamship companies
were regularly on the payroll of the
Western Fuel company, being paid so
much per ton for coal sold to the
steamship companies. He told the
jury that the engineers were In the
habit of calling on the fuel company
for these tips, called "hat money" and
amounting to 5 cents a ton.
Special Prosecutors Matt I. Sullivan
and Theodore J. Boche contend that
the Christmas gifts smack strongly
of bribery, as It has already been
shown that the Pacific Mail was
charged by the Western Fuel, they
claim, with more coal than It had
received.
