6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 5, 1895. JUDGE BAHRS DEFENDED. He Refuses to Transfer the Liquor Men’s Test Case Under Fire. HAD A BREEZY TILT IN COURT. Attorneys Cross and Hillyer Ex- change Some Tart Person- alities. When the case of William Coleman was called in Judge Bahrs’ court yesterday there ensued a little dramatic scene. This is the test e agreed upon to try the validity of the so-called “side-entrance’” ordinance. Coleman was convicted in the Police r the ordinance and had new trial by Judge Bahrs, lays ago the Union for Practical Progress ed some scathing resolutions condemning Judge Bahrs for, as believed, discharging Coleman, and intimating that the court was for the liquor mer < Protectiv creditable for bim not to have transferred the case.

This us matter. But he thought it sign years side-door entrar only produced one murder, while in the same period side-door entrances to | churches had produced two murders of such a revolting character as to horrify the world. Judge Bahrs then made a statement. He said he was not expected to take notice of any resolutions, but as he took all the | papers he would have been a little less | than human if he had not been affected by those referred to. “Thnis case,”” said he, “was pending when I came to the bench. There was never any formal motion to transfer the case. After argument on the constitution- ality of the ordinance I found the judg- ment of tne lower court defective, and the Supreme Court has held it perfectly right in such case to order a new trial “There is no reason why the respondents should not have decided this question in some other department if they chose, I understand there are fifty to a hundred other similar cases pending, and any one of them could be made a test case in some other department.

I am not going to yield an inch to these resoluting ciubs who seek to jam this department. I oppose any transfer until a legal cause is presented for transfer.” Hillyer said he did not wish to subject the court to any criticism and, indeed, had been instrumental in suppressing much, as Mr. Crosscould fina out. “I don’t want to do any digging,” re- marked Cross sarc i “I simply want the cas .. The court having signified that the case must take the same course as any other Assistant District Attorney Hosmer pro- posed May 28 as the date for rehearing. Hillyer said he was simply “driven” to agree, as the counsel would not consent to take up another case. Cross said this claim of being ““driven’’ to set the case for trial should be incorporated in another set of resolutions. The matter was finally set for the 28th inst. by consent. Judge Bahrs remarked finally: “I am not overanxious to try this case, but if T am driven to try it I will decide it as fear- lessly as any other case.” Judge Bahrs was seen last night. When spoken to on the subject of Attorney Hill- yer's possible disharment because of his alle; action in connection with the ob- jectionable resolutions, Judge Bahrs said: “If it is trye that Hillyer instigated the resolutions reflecting on me as a Judge, adopted and published by the Union for Practical Progress, he has been guilty of gmss unprofessional conduct and has laid imself liable to disbarment—there can be ial.” | likely to follow the announcement of his | | through his body, from the eifects of { young Cowell was a visitor to the Majors’ no‘guestion about that—and he should be made an example of. 3 “There is eatirely too much of this in- discriminate criticism of the e‘!‘udicinry going on and it should be stopped.

I have thus far tried to domy duty as a Judge, fearlessly and conscientiously, and Ishall continue in the same course no matter what outside influences are brought to bear. It is not necessary that the case at bar should be made a test case. If such is the agreement of counsel for both sides I have no official knowledge of it. “There are about seventy-five or eighty cases evactly similar now pending in_the Police Court. They could take up and try any of those and push them through to a final decision without appearing in m‘( court at all. So far as the case now pend- ing in my court is concerned, I shall cer- tainly try it and will decide upon it accord- ing to law to the best of my knowledge and ability. That is all I have to say on the subject at present.” Justice of the Peace Barry is of the opin- ion that Attorney Hillyer has worked himself into an unpieasant mess. When asked what he thought about the pending controversy he said: “I am not familiar with all the details of the trouble. I met Judge Bahrs to-day and we began to converse on the subject, but were interrupted. If it is true that Hillyer was the eause of the adoption and publication of the reselutions he was cer- tainly guilty of unprofessional conduct. I do not think it could be made out a case of contempt, however, neither would it be sufficient grounds for disbarment, in my opinion. But such actions are reprehen- sible on the part of any one, much more so by a practicing attorney.” MARRIED T0 A DRUGGIST, Mrs. Majors Abandons Her Big Suit Against Harry Coweli. The Groom Owns Real Estate and Was Once Chief Clerk in the Postoffice. A most sensational “breach-of-promise suit, and one that has occupied the courts and the newspapers for the past year and a half, was brought to a sudden and unex- pected close by the marriage of Mrs. Rob- ert Majors of Santa Cruz, plaintiff in the $50,000 damage suit against Harry Cowell, whose father, Henry Cowell, is the well- known San Francisco lime king, to Gec M. Coon, a prominent druggist of this City. The marriage, which will prove a great surprise to the many friends of both par- ook place on the 27th of April last in of Qakland, and was conducted in the quietest manner possible by the groom, who is of a modest, retiring dispo- ition and feared the newspaper comments marriage to Mrs. Majors, whose big| breach-of-promise suit has gained for her | much unenviable notoricty—a fact due, no | doubt, to both parties being so well known throughout the State. Mrs, Majors is a granddaughter of old Rafael Castro, who left thousands of cattle and rich Spanish grants to his descend- | ants, Mrs. Majors was first married to her cousin, Robert Ma; , who was also a Castro and a wealthy land-owner in Santa Cruz. Some years after their marriage he was drinking in the saloon of Jack Merrill in Santa Cruz, when some words passed between himself and his friend *‘Johnny"” Harris. “Bob” Majors had no_ idea of fear and was ever ready with his gun. When the dispute was settled Harris had six bullet-holes through his heart and Majors had three or four scatfered about which he died one year ater. Before and aiter the death of Majors home, their land adjoining that of his father. These visits resulted in the bring- ing of the $50,000 damage suit some time | after Majors’ death. Since then Mrs. Majors has been almost constantly before | the public. Atone time it was reported and believed by many of her friends that she had been abducted or in some manner made away with by the Cowells, and the newspapers teemed with her portraits and startling theories of the abduction. Mean- while she was in this city lying at the point of death fromgmeumonin. and being tenderly nursed and looked after by the gentleman who is now her husband. Mr. Coon was for six years chief mailing clerk in the San Francisco Postoffice. He is also a wealthy land-owner, having much valuable property in_this City. He will soon begin the building of a splendid City home on his property near the new French Hospital. His wife’s property in Santa Cruz, he says, will be fitted up asa summer residence, where their many friends will be royally entertained by them. In regard to the suit against Harry Cowell, Mr. Coon declares that the public will hear no more about it from either him- self or his wife, and that they will do all they can to banish from their memory an incident in life that had brought only sa_rirow and mortifying publicity to his wife. THEIR ANNUAL OUTING. Knights of the Red Branch to Picnic in the Santa Cruz Mountains To-Day. The Knights of the Red Branch will hold their annual picnic at Glenwood, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, to-day. This organization is about 4000 strong in North- ern California, and it is expected that at least two-thirds of the membership will be at the outing. Some of the more promi- nent Irishmen of the State belong to the body. Its principal aim is to gain for Ire- land that national independence which the ;rorld has long concluded justly belongs to er. The San Francisco Knights will meet at the ferries at 9:15 A. ., and will be joined by the Oakland contingent, all proceeding over the narrow-gauge to Santa Cruz. The San Jose, Stockton, Sacramento and Santa Cruz branches will also be repre- sented, and the members: anticipate a glo- rious anniversary OARPENTERS' MASS-MEETING.

For the Treatment of All Classes of Blood and Skin X Diseases. RICH PRIVATE INSTITUTION. A Few of the Acknowledgments of the Treatment and Care Received. Agassiz has said that California has a great capital in her climate, climate that has no equal, and that it will be worth millions to us that our State is one of the favored spots of earth, and the people will come to us from all quarters to live in our genial and healthful atmosphere. If Cali- fornia is worthy of such distinction as a State the lion’s share of such attention should be directed toward Oakland. Every year thousands of health-seekers do come to this coast from all over the land and many of these come not knowing just where to go for the most pure and bracing air, free from the fogs and harsh winds of the coast as well as from the oppressive heat of the interior valleys. In Oakland, where the raw winds of the ocean are never felt, is located the Sarsfield Sanita- rium at 1103 Filbert street. This institu- tion was founded by Dr. J. P. Sarsfield to afford attention and treatmentto people suffering from blood diseases. Dr. J. P. Sarsfield.

The operating and medical rooms are far away from those rooms for sleeping and lodging, so that the most sensitive are never annoyed in the remotest degree by anything that looks like sickness.

Even now her recovery seems scarcely less than miraculous. For nearly nine years I have watched with sympathetic anxiety and alarm the progress of the malignant ulcers which, like venomous fiends, seemed bent on destroying her life. The very best medical skill that could be secured the Turk-street Temple by Pacific Coast Organizer E. L. Malsbury last evening, The first speaker, H.

Every kind of treatment known to materia medica in such cases was evoked with- out avail. It really seemed to me, at last, that relief could be found only in death, and after all I had seen my friend suffer I felt it would prove a happy release. In my great sympathy for her Imade the strictest inquisition in every direction for any possible medical help or remedies. So, too, did many other sympathiz- ing friends, and nothing was left undone by the most kind and devoted of husbands tose- cure relief and recovery, But the case seemed almost identical with that recorded in Serip- ture history of her who had suffered mu\{ things of many physicians and had spent al that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather srew worse; and, indeed, to those who have followed with critical and intelligent observation this wonderful case from its in- ception to its final outcome, the cure seemed scarcely less miraculous. It was after my friend had suffered nearly nine years that I chanced to hear of a remark- able cure you had effected in the case of a lady similarly afflicted. I procured all the facts and details from the lady herself and presented them to Mrs. Goodridge. She become so utterly disbeartened and discouraged that she felt almost disinclined to make any further efforts toward restoration, feel they would be useless.

In this connection I will say that those who claim to cure cancer by plaster or the knife alone never really do so. There are no such things as cancer roots; the blood is the root, and unless you remove the dis- ease from there all other attempts will be futile. But to return to my treatment of the disease.

Ile du Diable, Where Captain Dreyfus Is Confined. Information has reached Paris with re- gard to the arrival of Dreyfus, the ex-cap- tain of the French army, who was con- victed of treason, at the Ile du Diable, off French Guiana, says the New York Herald. There was considerable difficulty in land- ing the prisoner, owing to the reefs which surround the isiand to a distance of some 200 yards from the shore. The boat by which Dreyfus and the Governor of the gemtentmry landed was nearly capsized y a wave about twenty yards from the beach. On being handed over to the Gov- ernor of the p:mt.entiury tl:?' the captain of the ship, the Vide de Si. Nazaire, Dreyfus again protested his innocence. *L will submit,” he said, “to all the exi- gencies of discipline, and you will haye no prisoner more submissive than 1. I will await with patience till the affair has been cleared up and my inrocence recognized.” Dreyfus receives from the authorities a soldier’s rations without wine. He can go out from 6 in the morning till 6 intfie evening within a space of 150 meters, the limits of which are marked by posts. If he goes outside these limits the guardians have orders to use their guns. The sur- roundings of the cabin occupied by Drey- fus for a radius of 300 meters have been cleared of brushwood, so as to render im- sible any attempt at escape or rescue. E‘?:sere is, besides, on the beach a perpetual surf, which renders all approach to the island extremely difficult. e e Made Clear at Last. A lawyer noted for his success on cross- examination found his match in a recent trial, when he asked a long-suffering wit- ness how long he had worked at his busi- ness of tin-roofing. The answer was: ‘I have worked at it off and on, but have worked at it steady for the past twelve ears, “How long off and on have you worked atit?” “Sixty-five years.” “‘How old are you?” +Sixty-five.” “Then you have been a tin-roofer from birth ?” “No, sir; I haven't.” 3 “Then why do you say that you have worked at your trade sixty-five years?” “Because you asked how lungkofl and on I had worked at it. I have worked at it off and on sixty-five years—twenty years on and forty-five years off.” Here there was a roar in the courtroom but not at the expense of the witness, an i bis m&:ilitor hurriedly finished his ex- amination in gredt confusion.—!

In winter, when Devils Lake is frozen over as smooth as a barn floor and the ice is from one to five feet thick, the wolves make their headquarters on Rock Island, says a writer in the 8t. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. They gather there by hundreds, and every night the chorus of their short, sharp yelps sound weirdly over the frozen lake, The excitement attending the Dakota wolf hunt is probably not equaled by any sport known to the nimrod, since the game is large, wary, swift of movement and full of tricks. There isan element of danger in it, too, for when the wolves are cornered they will fight with the despera- tion of mad dogs. It now and then happens that a wolf- hunter comes off the field with his clothes badly torn and his flesh lacerated by the claws or teeth of an infuriated animal, but there has never been a fatality resulting from the sport. The hunting party get together at a given point on the shore of the lake abont noon, and they come from all quarters. It is not an unusual thing to see 150 men engaged in a wolf hunt. Each man carries a rifleand a couple of revolvers. Some are on foot and some on horseback, The horses ridden are usually the little, wiry Indian pony or mustang,that can run all night and all day and not get When the party is ready to march it starts out across the ice in the direction of the island. The horsemen are stationed around the island, as near to each other as it is possible to place them and complete the cordon. The men on foot form in the shape of the letter U across the island. Some of them carry horns, others tin pans, and when everything is ready the men move in the direction of the bowlder heaps blowing the horns, ponnding the tin pans and yelling like fiends. The racket rouses the wolves lying among the rocksand they dash from cover. Some of the animals are in burrows. These are smoked out, and it is but a very short time before there is }tlengy of game running helter-skelter ooking for new cover. At the northwest extremity of the island is a clear spot, and it is the aim of the hunters to" get the wolves into this space, where they may completely surround them. The men gradually” advance u; the island, drnm- ming, howling and firing off their guns, and the bewildered wolves flee before them until they are driven beyond the rocks. It is not until the animals are sur- rounded at the nipper end of the island that the real fun begins. They dash hére and there to find an openinsr through which it is possible to escape. he{ are rendered frantic by the continued blare of horns and the horrible yelling, and in their ex- citement snap and snarl at each other like alot of surly curs. Occasionally a hunter takes a shot at oneand brings him down, and in this way the ranks of the beasts are thinned out until from a possible thirty or forty but seven or eight remain. These are preserved for the horsemen on the ice, :gho are generally the best marksmen in e party. The fr{ghtened beasts are given an op- portunity to escape. The circle is broken with the o}:ening so calculated that the wolves will flee to the ice. They imme- diately dash through, and the horsemen remain inactive until they have passed be- yond their circle; then they give chase. The wolf, with his sharp claws, is a swift runner, even on smooth ice, and when the ice is covered with a slight coating of snow he is canable of making wonderfully quick time. But asfastas he is the little mus- tangs are able to keep close to his heels in a straightaway race, but the wolf has the advantage of being able to make quick turns, and that is what he does. . Every woli-hunter mounted ona horse is proud of his marksmanship and it is the aim of each to shoot an animal in the head, which, from horseback, is no_ easy matter. To_shoot one through the body, these men claim, requires no skill, and so it often happens that several hours are consumed in the wild chase of the wolves before the remnant is destroyed and it is not infrequently the case that one man succeeds in killing the greater number. hen the last wolf escapes or has been killed the party returns to the town with their trophies and the affair winds up with ha banguet and ball, which is looked upon as the event of the season. The man who has proved himself the most expert marks- man is designated as the leader of the hunting party for next season. . During the Franco-Prussian war the Germans fired 30,000,000 rifle cartridges and 363.000 charges of artillery, killing or mor- tally wounding 77,000 Frenchmen, showing that 400 shots were required to kill or mor- tally wound one man.
