INSURANCE JEN PRAY FOR EQUITY, AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICEIN BEHALF OF THE CONTINENTAL COMPANY. THE INJUNCTION CONTINUED. | JUDGE McKENNA WILL HEAR THE COMPACT'S ATTORNEYS THIS MORNING. The injunction proceedings of the Con- tinental Insurance Company ainst the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific were resumed yesterday before Judge Me- Kenna in the United States Circuit Court. ! monopoly of its power—will destroy it, for the reason that it is contrary to wise pub- lic policy. % “The purpose, the object, of this insur- ance compact is to destroy all competition and to fasten upon the people a monopoly. By threats such as no agent dare resist, by threats such as no assured or property- owner dare resist, this compact seeks to deprive the Continental of its agents and to frighten away its customers. By threat- ening circulars, by false advertisements, by intimidating its employes to_leave its service, by unlawfully interfering with the complainant in its lawful business, the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific was working irreparable injury to the Continental, and unless restrained would drive it from the field. Then the compact would control rates and extort from the property - owners unjust and oppressive | premiums. | *“This compact has instituted a boycott | against the Continental Insurance Com- | pany because it _has resolutely refused to joint this unfawful conspiracy. A boycott | 1s contrary to the spirit and genius of | American liberty and American law, and | a court of eoquity will restrain any organi- zation from enforcing a boycott. A boy- cott was threatened against all property- owners who patronized the Continental.” | _In the afternocon Mr. Shortridge con- { tinued his argument and reiterated in i very forcible logic some points he had JUDGE JOSEPH M’KEENNA LISTENING TO THE ARGUMENT. [From a courtroom sketch by Kahler.) Several of the local insurance managers were present, some out of curiosity and | some as officers of the board which is sued to be restrained from boycotting the Con- | of James H. |.tinental non-board company. Attorrey Page of Page & Eells appeared for the de- fendants, and Samuel M. Shortridge of Shortridge & Delmas for the plaintiff. Mr. Shortridge read an affidavit of W. 8. Duval on behalf of the Continental com- pany. It opened with a statement that Frank C. Ensign, an insurance agent at San Jose, was compelled toresign from the Continental agency that he might keep other companies in the compact. The greater part of the document was taken up with alegal review of the com- pact’s rules and constitution. George W. Spencer, president of the board, in an affidavit, denied that he had threatened Duval, but did his best to per- suade him to join. He finally declared it was absolutely false.that the union com- panies combined to destroy the Continen- tal or prevent it from doing business on The association of the insur- ance companies is solely for mutual in- terest, Mr. Spencer averred, and such pro- vision of its rules and constitution as refer to companies not belonging to the associa~ tion are not leveled against such com- panies with the object of injuring them but of protecting the companies in the association from the assaults upon their own business by the non-board companies. J. W. G. Coiran made in his affidavit, which was read by Mr. Page, a_general de- nial that he had said to Duval, “We shall simply wipe you off the face of the earth.” ‘When the ailidavits were submitted Mr. Shortridge made an argument covering in detail the broaa scope of matter intro- duced in_evidence and lasting over three hours. He dwelt fully on the difficuities | met with in preparing evidence and infor- mation from various points on the Pacific | Coast, to_impress the court that all dili- gence had been used by the complainant %o bring the case to a speedy termination. “I have listened in vain for any fact,”’ said he, “in law or equity that should cause this court to change "its position in regard to the temporary restraining order. Now the complainant seeks further relief and shows cause why it should be pro- tected and the defendants are called upon to show cause why the restraining order should not be continued. The United ates Court of Equity has a power to throt- le monopoly, to check oppression, such as a common law court has not the power to accomplish. The facts proved in the case would authorize numerous suits against each and every member of the board of fire underwriters.”” On the ground of multiplicity of actions the court could enjoin, and on that ground alone he asked the court to continue the restraining order, and if that were all to have a bond to prevent a recurrence of the hardships against the plaintiff. If on the one hand there was a person and on the other an aggregation of cor- porations threatening to ruin his business and coercing the pnglic, the court would, he believed, enjoin the combine from boy- cotting. If the court were convinced on this preliminary hearing that there was an unlawful interference with the com- ’s business, the spirit of truth ice permeating every decision on s would prompt it to give the re- lief desired. “Who are the parties before the court? The complainant is a corporation, organ- ized in a sister State, and authorized to transact business in the State of California and’ elsewhere on the Pacific Coast,” said Mr. Shortridge. “The defendants, confederating under the name of the Board of Fire Under- writers of the Pacific. are a gigantic and powerful compact, organized for the pur- pose of controlling the business of fire in- surance on the Pacific Coast; they area trust seeking to stifle and crush out all competition, to coerce all companies to join them, to fix arbitrarily the rates of insurance, a dangerous combination, an unlawful association, the purpose of which is to impose a monopoly on the property- owners throughout the Pacific States and Territories. Defeated heretofore in legi: lative halls, the people, représented by the Continental Insurance Company, comes into this court of equity and seeks to restrain this colossal monopoly of its power to do evil. ‘‘Such appeals have never been made in vain. A court of equity will deprive this | established in the forenoon. He cited opinions from numerous Federal Jndges | in cases which nyr\cflhed to be similar to | the one he had in hand. He said the individual agent should be rotected, and that a huge combine, backed v a demonstration of force, which said to 1an individual, “if you do business, or in any way or manner work for the Conti- nental you sever all connections with us,”’ | showed the spirit of the boycott, pure and simple; that this illegal combine of under- writers, when they preposterously said to | the insurer, *if you insure inthe Conti- | nental you cannot insure with any of our | companies,” committed an unlawful act. | .~ Judge McKenna asked the advocate what ‘ he considered it in the power of the court | to_enact. Mr. Shortridge replied that he only wished such injunction as would thor- oughly insure against a veritable boycott. t this juncture the court adjourned | until 11 o’clock this morning, when Mr. Shortridge will resume his argument. He will be followed by Mr. Page, and Mr. Delmas will close on’ behalf of the plaintiif. WouLp you enjoy an ideal standard in your Baking? Always use Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. LABOR COUNCIL SATISFIED. STREET RAILWAY EMPLOYES WERE DISCHARGED FOR BREAKING RULES. No SweerPING CuT IN WAGES Has BEEN OFFICIALLY REPORTED. At the weekly meeting of the Labor Council last night, in their hall at 1159 Mission street, resolutions were passed tendering thanks to Mayor Sutro and James H. Barry. The former was thanked for having contributed $127 to the benefit of the American Railway Union, and the latter for having gratuitously furnished the printed matter which was used to advertise the council’s entertainment at the Sutro bathslast Sunday. Considerable feeling was expressed at the Mayor’s gen- erosity, as he had, beyond donating this amount, given the use of the baths free for this occasion. The delegates from the various labor or- ganizations reported very favorably ih re- gard to the condition of business. = One ex- ception was made, however, in the report of the ironworkers’ delegate, who stated that trade was exceedingly dull and many men in that industry out of work. M. M. McGlynn, chairman of the meet- ing, said that he had nothing to report in regard to the rumored strike of streetcar employes. He said further that he had in- vestigated the cases of the men discharged from the Powell-street line and had found that they had lost their situations by vio- lating a very strict rule of the company, which i that no gambling can be indulged in by any of the men while on duty, and that several had been detected playing poker in the power-house. In concluding his remarks the chairman said that no complaint had come before the council from any of the employes on the surface roads, and that the talked-of reduction of 20 cents from a day’s pay had not been made known to the men with whom he had conversed. ——————— Fined for Vulgar Language. C. A. Hughes, & colored waiter, formerly an employe in the Hoffman House, was yesterday convicted of the charge of carrying brass knuckles. He was convicted February 11 of using vulgar language to his employer, W. J. Sullivan, aud sentenced to pay s fine of $50, Hughes is the me:senger of J. H.Wise and president of the Ticonderoga Club, & colored political and social organizhgion. " ——— Robbed of His Watch. Jaeanero Mendiblo was arrested last night for robbing a drunken man, Edward Jones, of a silver watch on California_street near Kearny. The complainant was held up by three men, two of whom escaped. 1 CLEVELAND can scareely be seen through his Almighty Dollar (Cigar) smoke, s CURSED GOURT | AND BAILIFES, DISGRACEFUL SCENE CREATED BY A CONDEMNED CRIM- INAL. RYAN STOOD TOO NEAR HIM. Two YOUNG HIGHWAYMEN OBJECT TO PAYING FOR THEIR MIs- DEEDS. The morbid erowd which usually gathers in Judge Wallace’s court to see the crimi- nals cringe under the sentences which he imposes were treated to a sensation yester- day morning which they had not looked for. One of the prisoners on being sen- tenced cursed the court in the vilest lan- | guage, and struck the policeman who | arrested him a blow in the face before the Deputy Sheriffs could hustle him out of | the courtroom. A more unprepossessing example of the | younger criminal element could hardly be | found than John Smith, the one who | created the scene in court. He had pleaded | guilty to robbery, mainly because John Wilson, his partnerin crime, had pleaded not guilty, and had been convicted aiter a short trial. The robbery was committed on one of the Mission-street cars, and two passengers were the victims. Two charges were accordingly placed against the gang. John Wilson was convicted of both charges. John Smith pleaded guilty to one ;hurgp, and the other is pending, and William Fraser, the third member of the gang, escaped while being taken to the courtroom a week ago. Both Wilson and Smith came up for sentence yesterday. Wilson was the first to be called. He de- livered a long speech to the court, telling how he had not been given a fair trial, how the police had prosecuted him and kept him from consulting with his attorney; how he had never been properly identitied, and how the witnesses contradicted them- selves during the tri patiently to his story 1. The court listened , and also to a sugges- tion from his counsel that a reform school was the place for a lad of his years, rather than the F{qntemm 5 hi The prisoner was y 18, counsel said, and that fact should weigh with the court. Judge Wal- lace would not consider the suggestion that he be sent to the reform school, for he was | afraid the influence he would exert over | the other boys would destroy for them any | | | good the school might do. He considered that the testimony had shown that the Frisonur was vicious from choice, and un- ess checked would develop into a hardened criminal. He therefore sentenced him to twenty years in the State’s prison. The second charge was then called, and | after the same suggestions had been made | by counsel, Judge Wallace added another | twenty years to the sentence already | passed. “All the air of bravado faded away irom the prisoner as he wasled back to his{ seat, and he shrunk into a corner and | cried. | John Smith, Wilson’s partner, was then called. He had pleaded guilty and swag- gered up to the bar confident in the fact that he would be lightly dealt with on that account. The same plea for sentence to a | reform school was made_in his bebalf, and | for the same reason it was denied, and | then for the same reasons which had in- | fluenced him to give the full limit twice | over to his companion, Judge Wallace | sentenced Smith to twenty years imprison- | pretty Grace Parlotta, and his tall form was bent in two that he might hear her last fond farewell errands. Manager Ma- lone was not far away and the green-eyed monster was in evidence. Mr. Macdonough divided his attention between Maud Hob- son and Decima Moore, while King Over looked anxiously up to the deck from the dock below. The sailing of the Mariposa was delayed one sweet hour, but the time of parting came at last, the blast of the steamer’s siren drowning a thunder explosion which fell from beneath Jack Casserly’s shadowy | mustache. ‘‘Let 20?” cried the superintendent of the dock to the men at the gangplank, and every man took it to himself and looked indignant. The Mariposa slid out into the stream, the girls and men of the troupe shouting like Indians. The dudes and others went down to the end of the dock and waved and cheered until the steamer was far away. The Mariposa went fiying down the bay to make up her lost hour, and Captain’ Hayward has promised to give the girls a whole day at Honolulu, where they may learn some new steps from the hula-hula dancers. | MORE INDIOTMENTS EXPECTED Against the Owners of Houses Rented for Bad Purposes. The Grand Jury was in session yesterday afternoon, but besides partially considering several cases which had been brought to its attention, nothing was done. It was expected that some further presentments would be made against the owners of houses of ill fame, but action on these cases was postponed until Monday afternoon. Tt is thought that at least a dozen indictments will be filed then. A. Grosbois, who was indicted several days ago for renting houses for immoral purposes, was arrested last night and after- ward released on $200 bonds. SAD PLIGHT (F MRS. DEAN. ACCUSED OF PASSING COUNTERFEIT BILLS AND DESERTED BY ALL. HEeR HEALTH Is BREAKING UP AND SHE CANNOT RAISE ANY MonNEy. Mrs. Lulu Dean, charged with passing counterfeit $10 bills and wife of W. S. Dean, accused of counterfeiting, is in a sad plight. Her iriends have forsaken her. She has been in jail for over a month, her health is breaking up and a long term in the penitentiary stares her in the face. United States District Attorney Foote and Secret Service Agent of the Treasury Harris | are half inclined to think that she was the dupe of her husband and his contederates, but as she obstinately refuses to betray them the Federal officials are in a quan- dary what to do in the circumstances. Mrs. Dean’s case was called before United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday morning, and the fair defendant was rep- resented by Attorney A. P. Van Duzer. She pleaded not guilty, and F. W. Seering, who keeps a fruit and poultry store at 470 Twelfth street, Oakland, was called as a witness. He testified that on February 2 last, between 5 and 6 o’clock in the eyen- ing, Mrs. Dean bought a chicken and a jar of jelly from him. She tendered a $10 bill in payment, and he gave her §9 25 change. He took the bill to the bank the following day, and they told him it was a counter- feit. He positively identified the prisoner as the woman who passed the counterfeit on him. At this point Mrs. Dean’s attorney waived an¥ further examination, and Commis- sioner Heacock held her to appear before the Grand Jury in $10,000 bonds. This \ L b . 7 Y MRS, ! DEAN BEFORE UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER HEACOCK. [Sketched in the courtroom by a %Call” artist.] ment. For a moment the hapless prisoner was speechless with astonishment, for he had thought he had profit- ed a good deal by Wilson’s conyic- tion, and by his own plea of guilty in consequence. But he found his tongue in a moment, and then in the most dis- reputable and vulgar language he cursed the Judge and then the bailiffs, who tried to keep him quiet. The Sheriffs hustled him over to his corner, still whining out his blasphemy, and after handcuffing him to Wilson started to take the pair out of court. As they passed out they went near Policeman Ryan, who had arrested them and secured most of the evidence which had conyicted them. “Hit him,’ mut- tered Wilson, and acting under the sug- estion, Smith drove his fist into the po- iceman’s face. He was about to follow this up with another, but the Sheriffs caught his arm, and the two men_ were taken away. Ryan never said a word, but uietly retired fo stanch the blood which owed from his nose. Smith was sentenced on but one charge, and it was the intention.of the court and the District Attorney to allow the other charge to lapse because of his vlea of guilty. He has shown himself unworthy of leniency, however, and he will probably be forced to trial on the second ogcuse as well. He will certainly get the full limit on that, tod, and if the prosecution wishes to go so far his conviction now can be used as a “‘prior,” and his next sentence may be for life. COUNTERFEITS in money or food are not wanted. Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is as good as gold. OFF FOR AUSTRALIA. The Gaiety Girl”’ Goes Sailing Down the Stream—Touching Farewells ‘Wafted Landward. The ‘‘Gaiety Girl” stood on the deck of the Mariposa yesterday afternoon ‘and waved her last address to San Francisco. The girls said “‘good luck” to the chappies, and the chappies waved their handker- chiefs ana said *‘good luck,” too, and ‘‘good- by, old chap,” to the male accessories of the troupe. There was quite a crown on the dock to see the fair English artists off for Australia, and before the gangplank was pulled ashore long Jack Casserly and W. O’'B. Macdonough hovered near the dear girls. Jack was all attention to the brought Van Duzer to his feet, and he protested that such an exorbitant bond meant keeping his client in jail until she was tried. United States District Attorney Foote, Van Duzer and Mrs. Dean held a consultation, and then the former an- nounced that he would agree to a reduction 10 $5000. Van Duzer protested that even that sum was exorbitant, but said he would try to secure it. rs. Dean, whose maiden name was Lulu Idler, was born in Greenville, Il Her parents are well-to-do and pillars of the church. When she was arrested her attorney gained a stay of proceedings, in order to enable her to write home and secure the sinews of war. The letter was sent and no reply has ever come. She was young and impressionable when she left home to carve out her own fortune against the wish of her parents. In Los Angeles she secured a_position in Wilson’s dining-rooms, and there met Dean, who was doing a good business as an engraver. Their acquaintance ended in a marriage. The husband spent more money than could earn, and he finally embarked in the illicit business that has landed both him- self and his wife in jail. Much sympathy is felt for the unfortunate woman, as the general belief is that she was not aware of the crime she was committing.

Every now and then the Secret Service officials of the Treasury receive from some distant bank a_Government note of a large denomination, made with a pen by “an artist of infinite patience and skill. Sometimes it is a greenback of $1000, sometimes a national bank note of $600, and during the last few weeks two $100 treasury notes haye come in—all bear- ing evidence of having been made by the same hand and so perfect in every detail that their defects can be detected only by the use of & microscope. Between $7000 and of the results of this artist’s work has been discovered, but not the slightest clue to the %l:ce of the man from whom they come. me of the notes were well worn and look as if they had been in circulation a long time; some have been detected in bundles of mone, sent in for redemption, and the “pen-and- ink man,” as they call him at the treasury, undoubtedly earns his living l% that sort zlfl work.—Chicago Record’s Washington etter.

JUDGE WALLACE DECIDES THAT TRIALs MusT BE BEFORE THE FuLL Boarb. Judge Wallace yesterday rendered a de- cision of much importance to the Board of Education and the School Department and one that will be of great interest to many teachers. It practically restores to their former positions, with lost. salary, all the teachers dismissed by the former board for incompetency or for the good of thede- partment. The case decided was that of A. J. Itsell against the Board of Education. Itsell was one of the large batch of teachers with which the old board dealt severely just after clection. He was vice-principal of the John Sweet Grammar School at $125a month, and was charged with being incom- petent as a disciplinarian because he could not manage a yardfull of lively boys. The charges were investigated at a trial before the Committee onjQualifications of Teach- ers, and in a report giving findings of fact but not testimony the board transferred him to the Washington Grammar School, where he was made a class teacherat $77 a month. Henley and Costello, hisattorneys, began mandamus proceedings to compel a Testor- ation of his rank and salary and Judge ‘Wallace rendered his decision yesterday. The court held that Itsell could not be re- moved or degraded except for cause and that he was entitled to a fair and impartial trial. The meat of the decision was that his trial was illegal because it was not be- fore the full board and that the rule of the board demanding committee trials and re- ports of findings was illegal. The power of removal was vested in the full board and could not be delegated. The full tes- timony must be placed before the board in some manner. In this case three of the five members of the committee signed the report and two, Ames and Symmes, heard all the testimon In the report to the board but two lines were devoted to Itsell’s testimony and the court sa: “It_does not appear that they have followed the laws of the State or their own rules.” Mr, Itsell will at once resume the vice- principalship of the John Swett Grammar School and be entitled to his full salary since his removal. Vice-Principal W. D. Kingsbury, the poet, will have to be given a position’ somewhere else. The board may, however, transfer Itsell to some other vice-principalship of equal salary. All the many teachers removed or de- graded by the old board will be entitled to share Mr. Itsell’s victory. A number will go back into the department. Some of them have suits pending now, others bave their cases in the hands of attorneys, and still others will come forward now. Among those dismissed who are suing the board are: Miss L. F. Ryder, formerly of the North Cosmopolitan; Miss Fannie Soule, Miss Kate Turner and Miss Baker. Mix the flour with the baking powder in a dry state, and always before sifting.
