Haossler, at Sutter and Klllmore streets, by a young man whom she had never seen before, and from whom she bad accepted a drink of water while preparing to be photographed In dance costume. The stories of the girl and of Haussler the are so much at variance with each other that the authorities do not know which one to believe.

Miss Coxe was seen wandering about Fillmore street, near Hutter, shortly after 6 o'clock last evening. Her hair was disheveled nnd her clothing In disorder. A passerby notified Patrolman Moore, who questioned tho girl. She was Incoherent, and he had her removed to the hall of Justice In an Automobile. She- remained In a dazed condition for more than half an hour before recovering sufficiently to tell the details of her story.

Hhe explained that she had desired to bo photographed as a surprise to her mother, and had gone to Ilaussler's gallery to pose first In. street clothes and later In a dance costume which she took with her. Bhe was first pictured- in street costume, she said, after which she retired to a dressing room to change to the dance gown. When ready to again pose, she said, her throat felt suddenly dry and she asked for a drink of water of a strange young man she saw In the gallery.

She exonerates Haussler from all blame, declaring that he treated her with alt- courtesy antf kindness. The mysterious youth, however she declares to be entirely respon sible for her condition. Handler's story varies much with that of Miss Coxe. He says that after she haen photographed In her street dress the girl left the gallery nnd returned In half a.n hour. When she tried to pose In her dance gown, he said, was weak, hardly able to stand and finally went Into hysterics.

After giving her first aid treatment she left the gallery without assistance, heald. General Coxe, father of the girl, Is a civil' -war -veteran, with a distinguished career In I he nrmy.

ORPHEUM urday Senator Bailey Threatens Withdraw From Case. to By Associated Press. WASHINGTON. May 20. Argument in the Rtpgs Bank injunction ult against Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams started off tn4 the district supreme court today with a clash between former Senator Uailey, chief counsel Xor tha taic, and Justice McCoy.

Bailey threatened to withdraw from the case, and Justice McCoy threatened to refuse to hear the lawyer's argument. Senator Bailey was aruginp for the admissibility of an affidavit disclaiming ''relations between the bank and Johnson bankrupt stockbrokers. McCoy interrupted to siy he had already i ruled it would Am admitted that, further argument cr took time. 'Ymir honor lias taken more time than I intended to take for what I lntonded to say," replied Mr. Bailey.

Yoa'rremarks are highly" im proper," returned the Justice. "I'lease understand Uiat. I do not care for any more discussion. AnoUier remark of that kind and some other counsel will argue this ease." Mr. Bailey tossed his papers to the table and turning away replied: 'If the court feels tbnt way about will withdraw from this case now." "Do as you please about that," retorted the judge, "but don't make such a remark "again." Several of the bank's lawyers surrounded Keiuitor Bailey, and after some ho said to Uii court: 'I f-l that I owe to my clients a duty hiirhcr than 1 owe to my self.

Therefore, I will remain and continue the argument." "i also feel that 1 owe a duty to your clients;" replied Judge "and that will lend me to dismiss what you have said from my mind." Whereupon the argument proceeded. 'MYSTERY HOUSE' SUSPECT IN COURT Clyde Fr Young, Extradited From Mexico, Promises to Restore $6000 Gems. C'lyde F. Young, extradited from Mexico over a month ago by ifr vt method of being "booted over the line," was brought into court today after being held In the Oakland city prison for over thirty days without a warrant having been served upon him. Young was traced to Mexico following an investigation of the disappearance of diamonds valued i over 16000 from tne "house of jlivtery" In which the bodies of Mildred Fulton and Jane Kiley, two Blasters, were found dead last February.

Young was held in jail by the consent of his attorney, John Rose, pending an attempt by the police to recover the iewels through informa tion furnished by him. Some of the gems were recovered in San Fran-f clsoo, while others have not yet been found. On the promise of Young that he diamonds would be forthcoming within a short time, the hearing of his case was put over until June 2d by Judge Mortimer Smith today. The charge filed against Young Is that of grand larceny. He was actually brought back from Mexico on a charge failure to provide for' his wife on an old warrant.

He has not as yet been hooked on the failure to provide charge. YourJR stated that he had been given the jewels by Mildred Fulton. The only witnesses against Young in the grand larceny case were the two sisters whose death led the investigation. The case against him Is a one, andlf- the. diamonds are recovered It will be dismissed.

The Investigation was made' at the request of Dr. M. M. Fulton, brother of the two women, who came to California to investigate from Moorhead, Minnesota. GRAND JtRY ADJOURNS.

She Describes Horrors Deadlng, with the most touching eloquence, for the suffering people of Serbia, Madame Slavko Groultoh, American wife of the Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs of that country, stirred to tears an audience that gathered yester day at the Hotel Oakland to hear the tragic story she brought across the sea.

Among the listeners were many society women, a number of clergymen al" contingent of Serbians, who sat motionless, the sense of disaster too horrible almost for comprehension. After she ceased to speak and a contribution of nearjy one hundred dollars had been, taken, most of the hearers surrounded her to ask what, more could lie done. Tents for Serbia Is what Madame Groultch. asks of California; tents In which to care for the Innumerable sick, who have been stricken In the epidemic of typhus fever that has already burned-i up more lives than the gun fire of Austria. 'Added to the sufferings of war.

they are "experiencing as great, or a greater. horror," she said in poignant voice. "Only 32,000 men perished 111 the trenches 75,000 have died of fever! "That was a month ago. How many have died since she went on, "I dare not think. It takes only eight days for typhus to reach Its crisis." Help for Serbia, 'if it is not to be futile, must be immediate, according to the distinguished woman who has come to America on the urgent mission of enlisting aid.

Otherwise, she declared, the Serbian soldier will come back from the front to find nothing. And she told the story of a fighter who had only a key to show that he had ever had a home and a family. The enemy had burned his house and murdered his wife and children. "The new enemy," she emphasized, "is typhus fever. If It is not checked now there will be no women and children in Serbia the little houses will be empty.

BATTLE IS DIFFICULT. "The only way to "fight the disease," she continued, "Is to denude the victims of their clothing; to remove them from the places where they are living, and treat them scientifically. To do thia we must have tents In which to shelter them from the cutting winds, winds more cutting than those you have here. And every tent, where fever patients are 1 placed, on c4ean straw, in clean clothing, with nurses to attend them, means a chance for life for at least twenty individuals!" "But we must have 100,000 tents ade- liuately to care for all." In descriibn her dism may at learning that Serbia needed 100,000 tents, each costing from $100 to $150, and for whicfi there was absolutely no money to pay, Madame Groultch told of ordering 20,000 of' them in New York, trust to the generosity of this country that somehow financial aid would come during the three to five week It Is taking to fill the order, and the month more required to transport it to Serbia. "My heart sank," she' added, "to thl-i how long, when every moment 1 precious, it would take, even to do tha.

But there Is. still time to help, and the money' Is beginning to come In." She did not say that It wan coming In due to her own efforts, but the fact remains that It Is being raised by her In a personal campaign. As she drew the picture of terrible scenes she had witnessed, Madame Groultch looked out over the heads of-her seeing again the horrors. Her audience, too, had a "lump In, its throat." She told of the way typhus Is carried, according to the scientist, by vermin, the inevitable plague following war: and how, mysteriously this deadly microbe army within two weeks after the battle In which the Serbians had driven the human Invader from their territory, attacked the "entire population, even crossing the steepest snow-covered mountains to rnvaee those en the other side. DEATH RATE APPALLING, The entreme rapidity with which the Serbians are dying off like files, she said, is due to extreme exhaustion after months of insufficient food, exposure and suffering.

mental and physical and emotional. In the train of this exhaustion sre other maladies than typhus, according to Mme. Groultch. stranee diseases, tierhans like those 'humanity suffered from In the earlv centuries when scourges swept off whole peoples with periodic regularity. These diseases, she urired, must also be fought, lest Europe again be ravaged hy epidemics, and in giving this warn- 1 Ing.

she paid a warm tribute to the American surgeons end physicians who are now in Serbia, studying the curious condition "of the people In an effort to prevent disaster tn.the entire race. "But." she reiterated, "we must Tiave the tents. If we are to help. In Boston thdy have subscribed $20,000. and that lm to purchase blankets.

If only California will furnish us the tents, the other supplies will come, somehow." Perhaps the most tense moment during speech that made the hearts of her listeners ache with pity was hen Mme. Groultch told of frightful scenes thst occurred In the hospitals at Ilgrade and other parts of Serbia, when Serbian soldiers were compelled to undergo operations without "They would be brought (a ainflug," a be for be 176 be of ers can hardly lav liiinied.

RAPS NEW IDEAS, "We have all kinds of new-fangled Ideas," he declared, "and are spending great sums tilling the beads of children with whims, fancies and caprices. We show them how to look at stars, eat with a fork Instead of a knife and cook fancy contraptions no one could or would eat. Nowthe teachers want three months' vacation that they may attend teachers' conventions at which they will plot trouble, and make plans for salary increases 10 bother the state legislature with." Gelder declared that the bill for supervisors, defeated at the last' legislature, was a "plan to make an aristocracy among teachers and create more jobs." He declared that kindergartens are established merely to Increase per capita school attenduine and collect money on It. and made other criticisms of the stale school system.
