THE SAN FRA NCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1896. NORTON'S DECREE BARS NOE HEIRS, Attorneys Say That It Shuts Off Further Litigation. DEFENDANTS They Are Delighted at the New Aspect of an Annoying Suit, REJOICE. THE DECISION IS BINDING. Now a New Line May Be Followed in Fighting the Claims of the San Miguel Rancho, The annouicement made in Tue Cary yesterday that an cold decree not on the legal index had been discovered in the County Clerk’s office, setting at rest for all time the Noes’ claim to an undivided half interest in the San Miguel rancho, was re- ceived with unalloyed delight by the hun- dreds of people who bad ssttied and made their homes in the disputed territc Ty. *This is certainly an instance,” said one 9! those people yesterday, “where the press is a public benefactor.” Attorneys for the defendants in the cases vending, which affect title to San Mig rancho lands, were unanimous in th yiews. Indeed, they had but one the new situation—that it absolutelv barr further proceedings on the part of the Leirs for part ownership of the valuable lands within the City’s bound The decree of Ju, N November 17, 1860, wa the County Clerk's office’and is as tollows: Now, therefore, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed that the’ title of the plainuif (0 the &bove described premises is & good and valid | title against the said def them; ‘and that the said dants, and each of them, and all persons claiming by, through or under them be forever barred of all right, title, estate and interest in the said premises &nd every part and parcel thereo; EDWARD NORTON, Twelfth District Court. ants, ana each of S.

It came as a genuine surprise to the inter- ested parties, who saw that it placed an eltogether new aspect on the case that gave them hope of release from the an- noyance of a suit clouding in some meas- ure their titles of possession. G. Whitfield Lane of Lane & Lane, who are attorneys for the San Miguel Defense Associati in an interview yesterday as to the effect of the suit of Borieand Noe et al., said that until he read Tnr Caun yes- terday morning he knew nothi; the Borie s _‘The decree in that case may be of con- siderable use to us in this Noe litigation,” Mr. Lane said. “If we find that the prop- erty included in it js the same as that which we represent, and that our c; derived 1gh the plaintiff in the Borie 5 1 end our answers and plead that suit in bar as an additional defense. Of course, this Borie case doesn't change the Noe case atall. Ifitisof any it will simply be as an additional de- People mast be careful to answer Voe suit in time, and not let defanlt be taken inst them. If the Borie suit use to them they must vlead ents it in their answers to the present suit.” When asked if he considered i as a case that had_gone to the Supreme Court, he ‘Oh, yes, the decision of a Jower court is just as binding as the highest in the Jand, after the time for ap- peal has passed. But the fact that one suit has been determined does not prevent people from litizating the matter over n. ‘We donot need the Borie case, what- ever its merits may be, to help us in this e litigation. We think we can. easily feat the claim without anything of the sort. It might be interesting to learn how it occurred that the decree in this case T CaLL publishes bappened to be entered by consent of all parties. That was not published with your other facts, but it isso. It looks as though the plain- tiff bought the defendants up. There has been too much of that buying off ‘title- clouders,’ as I call them, in this City. Property-owners ought to club together and fielit the thing out on principle. It would cost them lessin the end and might tend to kill off a threatened new crop. The San Miguel Defense Association has some 300 members, who are going to fight this out to the bitter end.” Wilham H. Schooler of Miller & Schooler, who represent many of the prop- erty-owners named as defendants in the Noe suit, said: “*Relative to this matter, if the decree of Judge Norton is reported by you correctly, it seems to me that it is absolutely conclusite, and if the plaintiffs in this case claim to derive their title through the defendants in the case of Borie against others they are most cer- tainiy precinded of all rights in the mat- ter, and unquestionably they have no standing in court. ‘I do not believe that there is a shadow of title on the part of the present claim- ant, because they never had any substance to base a suit upon. All of the decisions of the Bupreme Court of this State con- cerning the land of the San Miguel rancho are in favor of the defendants in the suit now pending. . “If the present claimants are the de- fendants or the heirs of the defendants in the Borie suit, they are absolutely barred by the decree of the District Court. It aids the defendants in this case in making the defense. The discovery is one that is very beneficial to the property-owners of Noe Valley.” Mr. Harding, searcher for the California Title Insurance and Trust Company, and attorney for defendants whose titles are incured by that corporation, believed that the old decree put an end to litigation in the Noe claims. I would not be at all surprised if that suit may be a compiete bar,” he said. “Borie seems to have had the title at that time when be brought this suit. John M. Horner bought the San Miguel ranch from old Jose Jesus Noe, and in 1354 made a mortgage for $50,000 upon it to Cornelius K. Garrison. “This mortgage was assigned to Samuel Morse Jr., then foreclosed by Morse and the property sold by the Sueriff to Theo- dore F. Morse. Theodore F. conveyed the ranch to Adolph E. Borie (thatis as I have it, not Adolph H. Borie), who con- veyed -it_to Francoise Pioche, the old banker, February 29, 1860. The rancho was held at different times by Pioche, Levi Parsons and J. B. Bayerque in undivided interests, and also by Lester L. Robinson, and by them sold off to individuals and Lomestead incorporations in largze and small parcels, And now these Noe heirs have no just or right claim to the title. I'his suitmakes the case clearer to popular W although we know that the Noe heirs 1 had a shadow of a legal or indeed of any claim to the property.”’ CANTOR'S BOY JOE. He Causes Trouble in the Le Conte Pri- mary Sehool. Joseph Cantor, a jeweler living at 15103 Powell street, yesterday ocomplained to [y Becretary McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children that Miss M. G. Stebbins, principal of the Le Conte Primary School on Powell street, had cruelly beaten his 12-year-oid son, Joseph Jr.” Cantor also ciaims that when he Temonstrated with the principal she insulted him. He declared that he would call the attention of the Board of Educa- tion to the matter. Miss Stebbins’ story puis the case ina very different light, and her statements are corroborated by all the teachers in the school. She said the boy is impudent and disobedient, and given to playing truant. After running away from school for sev- eral days the 1ad, accompanied by his parent, went back to school. She told the father that the boy deserved punishment, and demanded that it be inflicted by Cantor. When the parent refused she took the regulation strap and dealt the lad several strokes on the palm of the hand. At this Cantor waxed wrath and shook his fist in the lady’s face, so she said, and threatened to cause her all sortsof trouble. e FOR INSULTING WOMEN. Skirm and Waltz Sentenced to Ninety Days in the County Jail. H. Skirm and Phillip Waitz, the photo- graphic-enlarzing agents, who were con- victed on Tnesday of disturbing the peace by insulting Mrs. W. Coffey and Miss Annie Williams, 2820 Sixteenth street, ap- peared before Judge Conlan yesterday for sentence.

It has been decided to have the second homing-pigeon race on Saturday. This will enable the three fanciers who have entered biras to have them all in trim. There will be a new method of starting employed. Iach batch of birds will be started af a different time. G. Koenig's pigeons will be released at 10 o’clock in the morning. T. W. Leydecker’s birds willfollow twenty minutes later. Another interval of twenty minutes will ensue beforé G. F. Marsh’s pigeon is released. Some of the birds released on Tuesday have not yet returned to their cotes. It was reported that only one bird had re- turned up to 6 o’clock Tuesday night. Mr. Marsh’spigeon reached its loft at 3:49, making the timeof flight 4 hours and 46 minutes. Oneof Mr. Leydecker's pigeons arrived at 3:41. Only one of Mr. Koenig’s birds arrived within that time, McDonald’s Charges. There is a gleam of hope for Dick McDonald, and, as the days pass, it becomes moro and more definite.

Skirm’s young wife was in %ourt, and when she heard the sentence she jumped to her feet and tearfully begged the Judge for mercy. She said she had a young baby and her husband’s imprison- ment would leave her destitate.

Back of an apparently unimpo rtant suit filed 1n the County Clerk’s office yesterday the members of a family one against an- other such as bas seldom come to light in this City, Rosie Elizabeth Jentzsch, Lottie Au. gusta Jentzech and Anna Marie Jentzsch, by their guardian, Otto Jentzsch, have brought action against Charles Shrakkart for $1000, which, it is elleged, the defend- ant received in trust for the plaintiffs, and which he has converted to his own use. The defendant is the grardfather of the plaintiffs, their mother, the wife of the guardian, being Shrakkart’s daughter. Shrakkart’s wife died on August 20 last, and on her deathbed gave her husband an order for §1500, which she had in the German Savings and Loan Society, with instructions to divide it among the chil- dren of her favorite doughter, the wife of Otto Jentzsch. Shrakkart immediately had the money transferred to his own account in the bank and on the 28th of August paid the chiidren $500. The rest of the money he has, according to the comp laints, retained and refuses to turn it over. ‘When the demands became pressing he deeded his real property, which is valuable, to his other children. Now be has been sued for the unpaid balance and there is danger of the Bbrakkart family skeleton, which has been rattled frequently in court since Mrs. Shrakkart died, being aired again. The defendant is the pickle manufac- turer who was recently sued by Mrs. An- nita Eggert for breach of promise. Mrs. Eggert is the buxom cook of the Golden Bell saloon at 1073 Market street, where Shrakkart frequently dropped in for conso- lation after the death of his wife. He soon made the acquaintance of the handsome cook and, according to her con- fessions to her lawyer, kissed her *‘a thous- sand times' and loved her etrenuonsly. This suit is still pending, as is another in- volving a piano which Mrs, Shrakkart left to an unmarried daughter. The pickle man_ refused to give it up and though Justice Court he appealed to the Superior Court and declares be will carry the mat- ter higher if necessary. With the three suits in which he enacts therole of defend- ant his time outside of his pickle business will probably be occupied for some time, —— e o THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. It Met and Adjourned Without Trans- acting Any Buslness. There was & very brief session of the Railroad Commission yesterday, ail the members being present. The only mat- ters laid before them were two communi- cations from T. H. Goodman, general pas- senger agent of the Seuthern Pacific Com pany—one inclosing the rates put in on the motor road between San Bernardino and Riverside and the other notifying the board of a new flag station between Teal and Suisun. These letters had a peculiarsignificance, as they were the first communications re- ceived by the commission from the South- ern Pacitic Company since the institution of tie injunction proceedings, with the exception of the annual pass sent to each member of the commission and to the secretary and his assistant. Adjournment was taken to the 12th of February. | isa story of domestic discord and war of a judgment was given against him in the | Just what will be done with the captains [ is a matter of doubt, but the chances that Captain Dunleavy, in command of | the water front, and Captain Lees of the | detective force, will frequently be seen en- gaging in a friendly scrap with the gloves. | The new water-front headquarters Ior‘ the police are very commodious. The | main entrance is on Sacramento strect, | | but the building runs through to Com- | mercial, and Captain Dunleavy and I squad have the use of the entire lower floor. Along the eastern side the lockers for the use of the police have been built, | while the offices and cells occupy a portion | of the western side. There then remains a large unoccupied space, which Chief | Crowley resolved to turn into a gym- | nasium. This work is now almost accom- | plished, under the able supervision of Officer Russell, and in a few days the police will have as good a place in which to exercise as that provided by the Olym- piz Club. In the north corner a new ceiling has | been put in and a punching-bag now hangs | from it. After using 1t for an hour yester- | day Sergeant Tom Mahoney retired to the | shower-bath with the remark, “That’s the | kind of exercise to give a feilow muscle.” | From the bathroom Mahoney went into | the dressing-room, and then he told Cap- | tain Dunleavey in confidence, “An outtit | | like this is just the sort of a thing to make | the men go in for exercise.” | In the gymnasium there will also b pulling machines for expanding the chest, horses to exercise the policemen’s logs, 4 wrestling mat, horizontal and parallel | bars, dumbbells, Indian clubs and all the rest of the paraphernalia. Unfortunately there will be no cinder track, and thereat Officer McGreavy is grumbling. Jack isa sprinter, and wants a chance to show the rest of the force the proper manner in | i which to cover half a mile in quick time. Officer Holland *is great on the pulleys,” according to Corporal Cockrill. Almost every day he exercises on some of the lamp-posts along the front, but latteriy he has eschewed telegraph poles. A number | of the wharfrats noticed that every day Holland tried his strength on a certain | 1: pole that stood near Vallejo-street whari, | | During the night they procured a saw and sawed it haif-way through. The nexttime | Pete came along he gave his usual vigor- | ous pull, and down went the policeman | with the pole on top of him. Now Holland says he will do all his pulling on the pull- ing machine. Officers Tom Ellis and George Lake, rep- resenting the south end, and Sergeant Steve Bunner and Officer W. Ferguson, representing Meiggs wharf, are to open the new quarters. Itis to be a question of ail-around athletics, and tha team making the most points wins. Bunner is particularly good on the wrestling-mat, while Ferguson is best on the parallel and horizontal bars. Ellis and Lake are a good team, however, and Sergeant Fitzgibbon says it is a toss-up which team wins, Officer 8haw, who is an all-round ath- lete and a member of the Olympic Club, is to be the instructor. Squads from the dif- ferent stations will be sent to him once a weei, and_before three months are over the Chief is confident that the avoirdupois of the men will be considerably decreased. The Commissioners have offered a prize for the man who shows the most improve- ment during the first three months and the betting is that Officer Mackey will win it. At the present time he can throw a donble somersault in his uniforn. Cap. tain Dunleavy is very much pleased with the innovation and expects to shortly have the finest squad of men in the United States under his command. FOR DURRANT'S APPEAL, A Voluminous Bill of Exceptions Filed by His Attorneys With the : Court. The bill of exceptions by which it is hoped to secure for Theodore Durrant a new trial has been filed. Eugene Deuprey offered it in court yesterday morning, ana as he did 50 he moved for a further stay of proceedings in the case. A stay of proceedings until February 11 was granted, and this means that until February 11, anyway, Durrant will not have to fio to San Quentin, but may re- main 1n the County Jail. The billof exceptions contains 792 pages, and there are 232 objections which, in the form of exceptions, are cited as error. The greater part of the important testimony given at the trial isalso included in the document. Objection is made on every point—to the impaneling of the jury, to the examination of jurors, to the ahowmg of tke peremptory challenges of the prose- cution, to the admittance of certain evi- dence, to. allowing tne clothes of Blanche Lamont to be draped upon a wire dress- maker’s figure—in fact, to any ané every thing that in any way went against Dur- rant, whether point of evidence or circum- stance of trial.

The Instruments in Use Are Charac- terized As Instruments of Torture. The Receiving Hospital was visited yesterday by Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Farr and Miss Bruner, a committee appointed by the Federation of Women to investi- gate and report as to its condition. The ladies were courteously received by Dr. Weil and every facility was afforded them io their search for information. Mrs. Keane, the matron, spent several hours with them, and they . expressed hemselves as very much gratified at the ssistance which the matron had given | them, “The federation,” said Mrs, Farr, had received such startling reports as to the hospital that it was deemed necessary to appoint a committee to make an investi- gation, and we were selected. *We have founa the reports very much The wards and all things about the hospital were as clean and tidy as can be expected and personally I notice an improvement in that respect since I was there last year. “The surgical instruments in use in the hospital are nothing but instruments of torture. It isa shame that such an instie tution should be equipped with instru- ments that no self-respecting surgeon would use in his private practice. A com- plete set of new Instruments of the most modern kind should be provided without delay. “There is not enough sheeting and there is also much need of a supply of pans and other necessary articles which need not be enumerated. *The accommodations in cases of con- finement is of the poorest and something must be done for the comfort of women brought to the hospital for this purpnse. There should be a separate ward for such cases. “Insane patients should not be detained in the hospital. We find that the nose they make during the night keeps other patients from enjoying much needed sleep and on sanitary grounds it is also unde- sirable to have them there. “These and other matters will be em- bodied in a report to be sent 10 a meeting of the federation on Monday night and then it will be seen what action will be taken.” SAVED HER LIFE ONCE. Thirty Years After They Met and Were Married. A romantic marriage occurred in At- lanta on Sunday afternoon, the parties to it being H. F. Bailey of Jackson, Miss., and Miss Hodges of Virginia. Mr. Bailey is somewhat past 50 years of age, -and the bride about 30. The couple first met during the war, It hap- pened when the Northern soldiers ap- proached Jackson, Miss. The parents of Miss Hodges resided there at that tipe, and when the grand rush to avoid the Yankees was made, Mr. Bailey, then a Confederate soldier, secured a wagon and moved the Hodges famiiy. In the hurry and excitement the littlo girl was forgot- ten, and she was not missed until the fam- ily had gone several miles. Mr. Bailey volunteered to go back and find her, which he did. The child was found in the road, near her home, crying. Mr. Bailey carried her to her parents. Socn after that Mr. Hodges moved with his family to Virginia, and Mr. Bailey saw them no more for thirty vears. Last year his wife died, and it occurred to him to look up his old friends and see what had become of the little girl whom he had saved from theinvadersin the long ago. He went to Virginia and found her teaching school. They corresponded and agreed to meet at Atlanta during the fair and be married.—Baltimore Sun. e During 1894 8315 patents relating to electricity were granted in Great Britain, the United States and Germany. Of these 1130 were British, being one-iwentieth of all British patents; 1704 were American and 481 were German. MAY FREELY LIE ON OATH Justice of the Peace Cock Cries Out Against a Flood of Perjury. SAYS WOMEN ARE THE WORST. Wants a Stenographer to Catch People Who Daily and Cheerfully Swear to Lies. Justice of the Peace G. W. F. Cook wants some way to check the torrent of pnnure}i testimony that he says flows through his temple of justice where the amounts due on the furniture, the complications of the board bill and so on are settled day by day. Justice Cook says that the perjr»lry com- mitted constantly in his court is some- thing frightful. He declares, :hougl?, that it is no worse in his court than in any of the other Justices’ courts, though it is a little worse in the Justices’ courts than in the higher courts. This is quite interesting. It is pretty well known though by everybody that the small army of people who go into the courts every day, hold up a hand while the clerk says, “You solemnly swear tell truth whole truth nothing but th’ truth s'help you God what's your name,” and then take the stand, do often aver th; things that are not with cheerful readi- ness. Itisan everyday fact not often com- mented on. Justice Coolk’s outburst is interestingbe- cause it asserts what few people take the trouble to assert. because it declares that the daily output of perjury is alarm- ing, and because he proposes a partial remedy. It is also interesting because Justice Cook declares that women are more ready perjurers than men. “It’s something fearful, the perjury here, and all the Justices will tell you the same,” he declared again yesterday as a newly wedded pair reached the corri- dor. “I never saw eo much perjury any- where as in the courts of San Francisco. It’s irightful. I know every day that people are swearing falsely, for they swear each other clesr out of court. One says ‘yes’ and the other ‘no.” So many people seem to have no conception of the value of an oath. I was born and I practiced in England, where they are more strict than they are here, and I can't get used to it. “I have observed always, too, that the women are the worst of all. They seem to think that they can take advantage of their position and swear toanything. It's either that or some strange difference be- tween the sexes. Of course, I am not re- ferring to all women., I am comparing women: who swear falsely to men who swear falsely. A great many women are called to the witness stand in the Justices’ courts owing to the nature of the litigation. A large pro- portion of our cases are hoarding-house cases, where furniture or bills are involved. If a man who runs a lodging-house is sued Justice of the Peace G. W. F. Cook. [From e photograph.] the wife will generally be on hand to swear that it’s all hers, and so on. The women are better liars than men on the stand, too. A cross-examining attorney can’t catch or mix up a woman as a ruleas easily as he can a man. When a woman is lying she wil! stick to what she swears to. A man more often makes a fool of himself on the stand. A man more often displays a little conscience when he is try- ing to help out a case. I may bave pecu- ligr ideas about women, but according to my ideas when a woman is bad she is bad all over. cator of man, and when she forgets herself and her position I have no use for her. “This perjury is worse in the Jus- tices’ courts than in the higher courts, because people think they have greater liberty. The only way to check it is to give the Justices’ courts shorthand reporters. I bardly try a case without there being perjury in it, and if I had shorthand reports of the testimony I could convict half these people. I could indict them then. As it is, I cannot swear to the words a witness has used, and I have to let it go and content myself with decid- ing according to my judgment of the evi- dence. A shorth-hand reporter is badly needed in every Justices’ court. My idea is, that it would not cost so much if they" would give us clerks who could write short- hand.” That was what Justice Cook had to say yesterday about perjury, as he has found it, and the need of stenographers in the Jus- tices’ courts. The First Log Cabin in Kentucky. The flourishing little city of Harrods- burg, the county seat of Mercer County, was the scene in the latter part of the last century of some very exciting episodes in” the history of the early settlers in the young State. On June 16, 1774, Captain James Harrod of Virginia, wbo had brought a party of set- tlers to the new country, laid off a town- site 2t Big Spring Camp, where they had erected tEe first cabin ever built in Ken- tucky. They allotted to each man a half- acre lot and a ten-acre out lot. The town’s first name was Harrodstown, but later this was changed to Harrodsburg, A clearing was made 1n the east end of the town boundary, and here it was that John Harman planted and raised the first corn that was known to have been grown in the State. Only a few weeks after this auspi- cious beginning of the town’s promoters iour of Harrod’s men were ambushed by Indians. Jared Cowan was killed. The other men escaped, only ote of them being injured.—Louisvilje Post. She ought'to be the moral edu-- NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS, POWERFUL INDUCEMENTS TO-DAY’S TRADE!
