ATTORNEY CROSS UNDER FIRE. He Is Accused of Unprofessional Con- duct in a Big Mining Foreclosure Case. The productive Cherokee gravel mine of Butte County, one of the oldest and larg- | est hydraulic mines in the State, may | pass into the hands of a receiver to-day. | Judge Prewett of Placer County, who is | holding a brief session of court in San | Francisco, will this morning pass upon! the application of the bondholders to have | the property placed under his Honor'’s § care, pending the foreclosure of their lien. | The demand for a receiver made by the | bondholders came up before Judge Prewett | in the form of an emergency affidavit, in | which gross negligence, if nothing worse, was charged against the agents of the Bank | of California, which for seven vears past | bas been in possession of the mine. | Graver accusations were also made | against C. W. Cross, the attorney for the | mining corporation, charging that he has | taken advantage of his position as legal adviser of the corporation to betray them | for his own or the Bank of California’s | gain. In the affidavit made by Attorney Blake- man, acting for the bondholders, it is , while acting as the attorney for the mine, has relocated, or, | in mining parlance, ‘‘jumped,” in his own name and in that of his two sons, the entire unworked portion of the lead to the mine. It appears that the mining com- pany fifteen vears ago purchased some 800 acres of mining land adjoining its prop- erty from a man named Cnarles Walde- yer, now deceased. Attorney Blakeman less than a month ago learned for the first | time that Waldeyer never had a valid title to the land he sold the company. As the | land is where the lead of gold now ru the peril of the tion alarmed hin He took a surveyor with him to the scene of the property at Cherokee, twelve miles | nerth of Oroville, in Butte County, for the object of locatinx the land for the benefit of all parties concerned, but when he ar- | rived on ground he discovered that | “ross hac there a few days before and v the entire lead. | ands it will deprive the | a vhich he has been adv: fi rs, of one of its most valuable assets. | C s known as a mining lawyer of | ¢ seven long tedious years the bond- | ers have been vai seeking to fore- | their lien on the mine, but their at- | tempt has so far been succes: opposed | by the Bank of California and N. D. Ride- | out, the Northern California banker, both | being unsecured creditors against the mine. | | The contest has been conducted on purely | technical grounds, the points of dispute being fine and intricate. When the bondholders brought their osure proceedings in 1888 the Bank | Jalifornia_and Rideout were owed ap- nateiy $50,000 by the mine. ned po: n of the prop-| ough a_judgment, bidding it in at iff’'s sale. Then they began their tech: ical fight to have the bonas declared il- legal and void. The case has already been | before the Supreme Court, and on that oc- | casion the bonds were held to be valid, | Judge Prewett, who had decided that the | bonds were illegal for informalities in | their executiou, being reversed by the Su- | preme Court. 1 The reversal occurred a few months ago, | and now the bondholders are anxious to | have a receiver a{:po'mted to supersede the | agent of the bank. The application was made last week, but owing to a technicality it could not be heard for ten days. Attorney F. C. Lusk of Chico, who is Rideout’s adviser in the case, was served with the notice as at- torney. \ It appears that he is only a counsellorin thecase and as such could not be aware | of the proposed application in his capacity | asattorney. In his address before Judge | Prewett Attorney Blakeman said: | “L call upon you to protect the bond- | holders from any further loss. The Bank | of California has been in possession of the mine since 1888 and this is the first time we have ever asked for a receiver. We do s0 now believing that the situation im- | peratively demands it. The flumes of the | mine have all been ripped out, many of the “chiefs” =old and now Attorney C.

First Installment of the Road's Taxes. General Manager Krutt. schnitt’s Return., Quite a surprise was given to railroad | circles yesterday by the election of Alfred L. Tubbs as a director of the Southern Pacific, to fill the vacancy caused by the | death of A. N. Towne. Mr. Tubbsis presi- | dent of the 'lubbs Cordage Company. It bad been generally expected that the position.of director, together with that of vice-president, which was Mr. Towne's office, would be given to the new general | manager, Julius Krattschnitt, upon his | return from the East. Mr. Kruttschnitt did return yesterday, but before he got | here the directors held a meetingand chose | Mr.Tubbs, leaving the position of vice-presi- dent vacant, however. It is generally be- lieved that the position of vice-president may yet be given to' Mr. Kruttschnitt un- less C. P. Huntington’s assistant, William Mahl, the New York representative of the road, should be given the place of honor as a concession to the great financial cen- ter of the country. Mr. Tubbs has not heretofore been iden- tified in any way with railroads, but he has always been in the immediate confi- dence of Huntington and Crocker and was | a close friend of Senator Stanfora. General Manager Kruttschnitt and his assistants, J. A. Fillmore and W. G. Curtis, arrived from the south on a special train in the afternoon. Assistant President Mahl was also with them and Mr. Kruttschnitt was accompanied by his family. Mr. Kruttschnitt will make the Palace Hotel his home for the time teing. The voucher for the first installment of taxes to the State was prepared yesterday by E. B. Ryan, one of the company’s at- torneys. The total assessment amounts to $656,916 98, of which amount the Southern Pacific pays$297,915 92; the Central Pacific, $241,972 16; the Northern Railway, $54,- 631 52; the California Pacific, $34.509 36; the Coast line. $22.684 12, and the North- ern California, $520390.

PEACE ON THE DUMPS. The Americans Gain Their Point of Having the Flag of the Czar Lowered. Peace now reigns on the Sixth-street Gumps, and the Americans are rejoicing over their bloodless victory in having the Russian flag repluced by the stars and stripes. The war cloud that hune over the dumps was caused by a flag of the Czar which floated in the breeze from the top of a hut occupied by H. Scavali for the past two weeks. John Manning, Jim O’Brien and George Eastman, three Americans, who lived near the hut of the Russians, waited upon them and demanded that the objectiona- ble flag be hauled down and the stars and They were bluntly told that if they dared to lay a finger on the flag of the Czar blood would flow. Manning, O'Brien and Eastman called a mass-meeting of the Americans on the dumps, which was held Monday night. "K:u%" Ryan presided, and it was de- cided that no flag but the stars and siripes should float on the dumps and that un- less the Russian colors were lowered peace- fully within twenty-four hours force would ed. Manning, O'Brien and Eastman be | were deputed to convey the sense of the meeting to the two Russians. All arrangements had been made for a combined attack upon the Russian quar- ters Wednesday night, but it was not necessary, as the fiag was lowered that morning, and the stars and stripes now tloat in its place. HOSPTALS N BAD SHAPE | Plumbing Inspector Sullivan Says | They Engender Conta- gion. ! | Twenty-Sixth Street Building Not Fit to Harbor Animals—Cheerless and Horrible. Now comes J. J. Sullivan, Plumbing In- | spector of the new Board of Health, and makes his report, which is calculated to | take its place among the sensationalisms that have made that department conspicu- ous in the public eye recently. Mr. Sulli- van uses strong language and does not qualify it much. general way,” he says, “‘my report is that the plumbing of sanitation in the different buildings with one or two minor exceptions is in- adequate, dangerous to health, offensive and in violation of the laws which the Board of Health has established. The system involves no sttempt to recognize accepted methods of good plumbing. The sewer system in each buildingisold. In several instances it is of imperfect con- struction, and 1n crumbling allows un- healthful odors to escape. The fixtures are of the cheapest and least effective atterns. Their condition in a mn;orilxy n some cases a small expense will remedy the defect, but in others it will be neces sary to_entirely remodel the plumbing of the buildings, changing the plan of sewers and introducing fixtures which the law provides shall be used in buildings. “The permeation of the atmosphere in the County Hospital and Branch Jail 2 by sewer gases and nauseating odors isex- tremely dangerous. “In the City and County Hospital the plumbing in some instances is danger- ously bad, polluting with its odors the atmosphere of the wards. Fixtures which should never have been allowed in the main hospital have remained there for years in neglect, forming a constant and growing danger to the inmates, Unused | fixtures are the mediums through which | sewer gas enters the wards. In no part of the main building is the plambingina | perfect sanitary condition. “The plumbing in the Twenty-sixth- | street Hospital 1s simply outrageous, no | attention whatever having been paid to | the sanitary construction of sewers and | fixtures. *‘The appearance of the bathtubs issuch as to cause disgust, especially the one in the female leper department. ~ In the hall | close to the officers’ sleeping apartments is an old sink and closet. ~The sink has no trap and the stench coming from it is dis- gusting in the extreme, especially in a place of this kind where the fixtures should be of the most improved sanitary description. It must be terrible for the | inmates and especially for the officers who are compelled to breathe during both sleeping and waking hours the atmosphere | that is continually escaping from these fixtures. ' “The sewage from one of these build- ings is discharged into an old wooden sewer, part of which lays under the build- | ings, and thence is conveved through the grounds to Mission flats, where it | empties. Itis a settled fect that this kind of sewer is the worst that can be used, the wood absorbing and retaining all the | offensive elemgnts contained in the sewer- | age, forming gases that are continually es- | caping into the buildings through the de- fective plumbing arrangements. “Underneath one end of the leper ward is the chicken-house, and the accumulated filth there is sufficient in itself to causea contagion. The bnildmss themselves, on which it is no part of my duty to comment, are anything but what the name im- plies, not being fit to house a dog in. If they were used as a hospital for sick cattle the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would raise a hue and cry that would arouse the whole community, being in such a cheerless and dilapidated condi- tion as they are. *“It is terrible for the afflicted inmates shut up as they are, isolated from the rest of the community as they necessarily must be, and forced to pass the balance of their lives in such an abode and in an at- mosphere made foul by asystem of plumb- ing worse than none.” %’arintions of this story—none of them quite so bad, but each of them bad enough to demand immediate action—are reported with regard to the Receiving Hospital, the City and County Almshouse, the County Jail, Branch Jail 2, formerly the House of Correction, and Branch Jail 3, formerly known as the Industrial School. “AS YOU LIKE IT.” Cast for To-Day’s Performance at the Stanford University.

Julius Kruttschnitt, the new general < S = o Cam P WalinsTens INCIDENTS OF A QUIET DAY AT THE GOETHE-SCHILLER FESTIVAL, gave an opportunity to carry out the pro- gramme for the stage exercises and the performances in the booths. The choruses, upon which Director Louis N. Ritzau spent much time, were successful in every detail. One of the hits of the evening wasan acting tableau, the garden scene of “Faust.” Into this was introduced some very cleverly constructed pyramids by the Turner section of the Sons of Hermann and the San Francisco Schwaben Verein. Several of these human structures reached higher than the gallery floor. Beno Hirsch was the director. The athletes taking part were: H. C.F. Stahl (teacher), Casper Ellenberger, William Heincke, George Steffens, Gust Kiefer, Franz Krabler, Charles Krause, E. Kohn, Her- man Hanstein, Richard Wagner, Otto Fehlem- nebaher, Carl Cranz, John Berteaux, Charles Pless, Charles Schulz, William Klein, Fred Horstmeyer, A. Ehrenpfort, Louis Peck, A. Volkmann and Christ Golzene. The booths still claimed a monopoly of the public interest. Last evening the ladies of the wine booth presented them- selves in new costumes. Mrs. M. Koll- mann took what many of the ladies considered an unfair advantage of them by appearing in a beautiful Marguerite costume that attracted much attention and secured for the lady liberal contribu- tions to the monument fund. The lottery booth was especially at- tractive, for every night many costly ar- ticles were won by the freaks of fortune. Several gold watches have found perma- nent owners and a bicycle has been dis- posed of every night. This booth is in charge of Mrs. F. Hess and L. Gutte. Tnere was one gang of rollicking fel- lows who passed unharmed wherever they went. They were the occupants of the ropbers’ cave. Could Schiller see the man- ner in which they presemed his famous play, “The Robbers,” he would smile. E. fiendixen took the part of Carl Mohr, the robber chief and champion cutthroat of the gang. Under his leadership the freebooters sallied forth, seized a victim, and, despite protests, appeals and kicks, dragged bim bodily into the cave and held him until he paid $1 for his ransom. When this was done the victim was pre- sented with a certificate that exempted him from further molestation and he was treated as an honored guest. Many comi- cal scenes were every night presented by astonished citizens of the United States being seized by fifteenth century robbers and robbed, with San Francisco police- men looking on and latghing.

I found | the property generally in good condition.” | _ Asked how the roadbed of the Southern | Pacific compared with that of Eastern | roads, he sai “It is as solidly builta | road as there is in the country.

IR R R ARNRRE CONTINUE TO ADULTERATE| Dockery Finds More Dairymen Willing to Take the Chances. RAIDING THE RESTAURANTS. Supervisor Joseph King Appears Be. fore Judge Low and Is Promptly Acquitted. Dockery has been resting for aday or two, just to see what the milkmen and res- taurant-keepers would do. It took him only about four hours yesterday morning to find out that there were still a few will- ing to take chances of escapinghim in the numerous highways and byways of the Mission. Armed with the usual paraphernalia— that is, the Babcock test, the “little detect- ive” and the lactometer, the inspector left the City Hall Wednesday night about 10:30 o’clock, going direct to the Four-mile House on the Mission road. Asthe wagons came along they were halted and asked to give a sample of the milk then on its way for morning delivery. In all the milk from sixteen dairies passed through the Babcock test, not one of which fell below the standard. From the Four-mile House Dockery pro- ceeded out San Bruno road a short distance, commencing his work there on milk taken from a big double-decker which came lum- bering down the highway shortly after he had stopped. Fifteen wagons were exam- ined, but like their Mission-road brethren they had not taken any chances on meet- ing the Inspector. That is to say, their milk was fully up to the standard. Not discouraged Dockery turned hisface cityward, and in one of the bywaysal- luded to came across a wazon belonging to 8. Vosti. The driver said there was no earthly occasion to put his milk through the Babcock test, as it was absolutely pure. This did not deter Mr. Dockery one bit. He tested one can and then a second, both showing 2 2.5 per cent of butter fat. The driver acknowledged that the milk wasall the same, and that settled 1t. Thirty-two cans, or_about 100 gallons, were promptly turned into the gutter. This was Vosti's second offense, the first warrant not hav- ing been served yet. From _this point Dockery proceeded along Broadway, finally stopping at the Royal Coffee-house, L. M. Juhl pro- prietor. This milk was considerably be- low the standard, and in consequence all there was in the house, six gallons, was dumped. The milk found in the estab- lishment of Kelly & Smith, on Mont- gomery avenue, met the same fate, as did that of Voltz and Gall on Fourth street. At the last place twenty-four gallons went the way of all impure milk falling into the zlutches of Dockery The case of Supervisor Joe King, charged by Dockery with selling adulterated milk, came before Judge Low yesterday. The exBected happened, for he was acquitted. ockery stated on the stand that the milk examined by him was below the standard fixed by the Board of Health, but the court held there was nothing to show that the milk was adulterated. For this reason he would dismiss the case, and Supervisor King may, therefore, continue to sell the same class of milk as that found by Mr. Dockery to be below the standard without fearof fine or punish- ment. Political Uncertainty. Charles A. Davis has been training with Colonel *‘Bob” Ingersoll so long that his mind naturally runs on the future state of mankind. He has an unfortunate impedi- ment in his speech, but says Ingersoll can talk enough for both of them. The other day he was sitting in his office in Broad- way gazing dreamily out of the window. An actor sauntered in and sat down by his side. ““Chbarley” turned upon him thode large blye eyes of his and asked somewhat abruptly: ‘‘Are you an ag-g-g-g-gnostic?”’ *“What's that? What's that? What’s that?”’ asked the man, with a puzzled look. -d-d-do you believe in h-h-hell? Are you an agnostic?” *‘Hell?
