Cents on Rats Federal Of
ficial to Take Charge.
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12. The board of health, at a meeting
. this evening, discussed further measures for plague eradication
and adopted resolutions as follows: "Offering a bounty of 10
cents on every rat caught in the City and County of San Fran-
Cisco and properly delivered to the health officers; directing that
no Quarantine be established upon any building or dwelling from
. which a plague patient or subject has been taken, except during
a brief period of fumigation. The object of these orders, as
stated by the board, are to prevent foolish scares and to remove
the temptation of inmates to scatter to avoid close detention.
The mayor, members of the board of supervisors and President
Oppuls and Dr. McConkey of the health board, today visited the
City and County Hospital and the site of tlie proposed isolation
hospital. As no plague cases have originated at the City and
County Hospital since August 27th, the quarantine there is to be
raised. Dr. Rupert Blue of the marine hospital service, arrived
here today from Washington and will at once assume charge of
the situation. He will hold his first conference with the members
of the health board tomorrow morning. Up to date there has
been twenty-three cases of plague and twelve deaths.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. E. B. Hav
js, head of the Wall street broker
age house of E. B. Havens & Co.,

ment today that the collapse was

house valued at 1357,900, and she
denied having engaged in any of the
stock transactions shown by the ac
count. Altogether these false accounts
amounted to $420,000 and represent
ed what Fish had lost, his specula
tions covering a period of four years.

of a person who had been dead two
years. k

filed in court place the liabilities at
$1,772,794; nominal assets, $3,327,
761; actual assets, $1,459,509. Ap
parently there Is no disposition yet

bone, now under indictment at Boise,
Idaho, was a Pinkerton detective and
was in the employ of the mine own
ers and the Pinkertons for the pur
pose of introducing Harry Orchard to
Moyer and Haywood so that he
might implicate them in the crimes
afterward committed in Colorado and
Idaho. These statements were made
to Judge C. E. Mack by the Chicago
attorney last Sunday afternoon in

solutely false. He contends that he
is one of the victims of the Mine
