16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1896. SLEEPING IN A WET, DARK CELL Some Barbarities of the California-Street Station. MORE ROOM IS NEEDED. Prisoners Packed Tighter Than the Traditional Sar- dine. MEN AND WOMEN BEATEN, The Women’s Single Cell Makes No Distinction Between New and 0id Offenders. The Board of Supervisors a short time since roused itself to the necessity of a woman’s separate cell and especial provi- sion for women in the City Prison at the City Hall. The board has had time to rest from its exhaygstive labors in that instance and it is, th#kefore, time to call attention to the needs of the California-street station in that and other regards. There are five cells in the California- street station. No. 1 is exclusively re- served for Chinamen. No. 2 is held for sober people arrested on charges of felonies and ravated misdemeanors. Nos. 3and 4 are for drunks pure and simple. No. 5 is for women of all kinds and con- ditions, arrested upon whatsoever charge they be. To those familiar with the variety of was found to be already occupied. A man came out of it who had been lyingina pool of water that lay half an inch deep on the floor. His clothes were saturated and in this condition he was thrown into the crowd of drunks in cell 3. The other “‘drunk” who was to take bis place in the dark cell was about to be Ithrown in upon the wet floor whken a by- stander insisted on being allowed to put down the wooden flooring that stood against the wall and only needed a touch to put it in place on the floor and at least protect the victim from the water. ‘The bystander referred w0 was an old man who, when he reached the sidewalk in front of the station and where he did not stand in fear of arrest himself, was free in his expressions of horror at what he had seen. “I have seen a good many prisons in all parts of the country,” he said, ‘*but such a prison and such a treatment of prisoners I have never seen before.”” But that was only one night. The fre- quenter of this prison grows hardened to such scenes. It is quiteacommon circum- stance for drunken men to be so roughly used by the officers at the station as to necessitate their being transferred to the Receiving Hospital. That was the case with a young man only a few weeks ago, a burly officer throwing him to the floor with such force as to render him insen- sible, with fears of a fractured skull. A hysterically drunken young woman a few nights later had her clothes almost torn off her, after which she was thrown into the dark cell. These, as stated, are to the regular at- tendant at the station very ordinary inci- dents. But that is the reason why the Supervisors should widen the scope of their reform until it embraced this and all the other stations so far as needs be. Dr. Fred A. Rinne of the Receiving Hos- pital visited the prison last night and was surprised to learn that no drugs or stimu- lants were thiere for cases of special emer- gency. manity they should be provided. report upon this matter. POLICE RETIREMENTS. The Pension Commissioners at Their Meeting Yesterday Took No Action. The Board of Pension Commissioners of the Police Department held its quarterly meeting yesterday morning. The regular kinds and conditions that are nightly k_:ills were audited and the board ad- found in the police dragnet—the old | journed. 7 drunks and utterly disreputables, the| No action was taken as to the placing of young women with the flush of innocence scarcely brushed from their cheek, the suspects, the woman dressed in zlean linen and finery who sat too long at her French dinner and discovers only when on her way home how muck wine she really did drink—to the man who has seen represen- tatives of all these classes thrown together on the stone floor and the narrow benches of th* women'’s 1 of the California-street Station, swift reform. Again, when Chinatown is raided, as it frequently is, the Chinese cell is not suffi- cient. The felony ceill—men arrested upon complaints not proven—is emptied into that of the common drunks, to mingle with the filthy, vermin-infested and ill- smelling crowd. A few nights ago the Chinese cell was so crowded that it overflowed into No. 2 and crowded it to such a decree that the in- mates were compelied to keep on their feet, there not being room enough behind the bars for them to sit down. The two cells of the plain arunks dur- ing such periods is simply unspeakable, and the stench of the underground place is scarcely to be mentioned to early morn- ing readers, much iess dwelt upon. Lhe prison or lock-up, it should be men- tioned, is under ground.

He explained that he lived at Salinas; that he had been driver of a hose team, that his foot had been run over and had to be amputated, that he had come to town to see the dem- onstration here, and that, tired of walking on his crutches, he had sat down to rest. He was thrown into the wagon with the other four, and his arm so wrenched that when being taken out of the wagon at the California-street station he had to crawl upon his hands and knees into the station. The bandages on his foot were also partly torn off, and the stitches in the flesh were wrenched so that his progress across the floor and down the stairs and across the floor to the booking window was trailed in his blood. Despite his protest and that of some of the bystanders, he was booked as that of a drunk. The bystand- ers urged that he be sent to the Receiving Hospital, but no attention was paid to the suggestion. Kelly in his turn remonstrated against the abuse heaped upon the four *‘drunks’ who bad come with him. They were kicked and cuffed and dracged down the stairs, one officer to each pulling them by the shoulders. One of them was speechless and unable to give his name. He was smacked in the face and his nose twisted brutally. As this was not effective in bringing him to it was ordered that he be taken to the dark cell.

Antonio J. Machado, San Rafael, died last evening at the Ger- man Hospital from the effects of a gun- shot wound in the right arm. An in- quest was waived by the widow, and the body will be removed to San Rafael for in- terment. While hunting at Sunol on June 29, Machado, becoming fatigued, concluded to rest in tke shade of a friendly tree. He laid his gun down on the grass and was about to take a nap when he spiec a bird a short distance away. He grasped his gun by the muzzie and puncJ’ it toward him with the intention of taking a shot at the bird. The trigeer of the gun caught in a twig and the gun was exploded, the charge taking effect in his arm. Machado was removed to the German Hospital in this City by friends, but gangrene set in on the wounded limb and he succumbed to his injury. e e S Notes of the Courts. Emeline C.

SO0 SHE BRINGS SUIT. Story ot the Brief Partnership of Mrs. Rosenthal and M. N. Hirsch. SHE RENTED HIM A ROOM. And After Many Months He Moved Out Without Paying the Long Overdue Rent. Mrs. Samuel Rosenthal began two suits in the Superior Court vesterday against her late partner in the tobacco business, M. N. Hirsch. She sues for the recovery of diamonds valued at §500 and a board and lodging bill in the sum of $450, and a couple of thousand more for the lease of the store- room at 624 Market street. The story of how all this indebtedness | piled up sgainst Mr. Hirsch, as told by Mrs. Rosenthal, is an interesting one. Tte diamonds, Mrs. Rosenthal says, she loaned Hirsch, and this led to his forming new associations, to the breaking up of the partnership and all the rest of it, greatly to her monetary loss. “My store was shut up and I was in all sorts of complications growing out of the divorce proceedings with my husband,” said Mrs. Rosenthal yesterday, ‘‘when Hirsch came to see me and proposed that I take him into partnership. “Judge Hebbard, in granting the di- vorce, eave me all the community prop- erty, but required that I pay the bills con- tracted by my husband. The court also | put a bailiff in the store as receiver to protect the interests of creditors. “Avout that time I discharged a clerk, a boy named Jacobs, as I wanted to econo- mize, and for revenge he went to the cus- toms authorities and informed them that the bailiff, Reilly, was selling tobacco not properly stamped. Then the United States courts under- took to put a bailiff in 1n place of that of the Superior Court, and theresult was that between the two—Judge Hebbard resisting —my store was closed so far as my busi- ness was concerned. “I had a ‘to let’ in the window for half | the store. That attracted tbis man Hirsch, or at least he made it his excuse for coming to see me. After talking for some time about renting he asked me if I would not take him in as a partner. He said be would give bonds to the court and | | 0 enable us to resume businessand would pay me $3,500 for a half interest. The stock had been inventoried at over $11,000, but I was in such straits, as you see, that the knife was practically at my throat. I could not act on my own ac- count, for my friends were doubtful about the outcome of the tangle between the two courts and to get bonds was there- fore a difficult matter. So I decided to accept the offer of Hirsch, ‘‘He had been nving in Alaska for a number of years, and looked shabby be- | hind my counter. I offered to lend him ome of my diamonds in order to give him | a more spruce appearance. Besides he said he wanted to go to the Concordia | Club to see some ladies there.

Willlam Costley’s Case Dismissed by Police Judge Joachimsen. The case of William Costley, the social- the officers who made ihe arrest were not present to prosecute. Costley’s case at- tracted considerable attention recently. ers were holding an open-air meeting on Thursday night on Seventh street, near Market. When about half through his discourse he was ordered by the police to leave the locality. . Costley promptly refused todo so, claim- ing the rights of free speech, and for his refusal he was arrested and locked up in the Southern police station on a charge of disturbing the peace. From subsequent inquiries it was learned that the Odd Fel- lows objected to these street-gatherings, claiming that the speakers disturved the meetings in the buildings. Not only were the socialists interested but the labor unions, and it is said that the Free Press Defense Association were going to Costley’s defense and had the | case been decided against the accused there is no doubt that it would have been carried to the Superior and even to the Supreme Court if necessary. | When Costley went into court yesterday | he was accompanied by a large number of his associates and those interested in free speech. Why the arresting officers were | conjecture. The Judge said that he would | not put Costley to any further annoyance if the arresting officers were not sufliciently interested to be present when the case was cailed. PUBLIC SCHOOL. MONEY There Will Not Be Any Dock- ing This Year of Teachers’ Salaries. It Is the Intention to Expend a Big Sum for Urgently Needed Repairs. The public school teachers will not be docked this year in their salaries. It is also the opinion of the directors that there will be sufficient money received by them to pay all of the current expenses of the ensuing year. What the sum will be cannot be stated exactly until the figures are received from the State Superintendent of Public In- struction at Sacramento and the appro- priation is made by the Board of Super- visors. It is known, however, that the con- | templated building of the High School desired at the Mission will have to be | abandoned, and while it is expected that | there will be sufficient money for repairs | there will not be any for the erection of new schoolhouses. The Iatest statement filed with the Board of Education by the Finance Com- mittee shows the total expenditures for the | fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, to be | $1,036,424 72. Contracts for improvements | at'the Bernal Heights, Cooper, Denman, | Harrison and Columbia schools, which are under way but have not yet been paid, amount to $50,000. The total receipts were $893,9%5 and the estimated sum which will be received from the State school fund is $220,000. It bas been recommended by H. D. | Dunne, the expert of the Grand Jury, that $1,200,000 be allowed the School Depart- | ment, which sum will be comparative | satisfactery to the directors. Contracts will be let at once for the whitening of i sixty schoolhouses, and it is the intention | to expend in various repairs during the year the sum of §165,000. All of the pub- lic schools wiil then be in a good sanitary condition. . | Released on Ball. | L.Straussman and B.Straussman, charged with perjury, were yesterday brought before Judge Troutt on habeas corpus writs and or- dered released on giving $1000 bail each.

WAS DOING THE TOWN. She Was Dressed in a Natty Suit of Blue Clothes and Brown Hat. HER SHOES BETRAYED HER. Judge Campbell Orders Her to Appear for Sentence To-Morrow Morning. One of the “new women” from Sacra- mento appeared in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday morning to answer a charge of violating one of the City ordinances by masquerading in men's attire. About 6 o’clock in the morning Police- men Webster and Richter were standing on Post and Kearny streets when what they supposed to be three nattily dressed young men passed them. They were laughing and chatting gayly and having a good time generally. Something peculiar in the one in the center attracted the attention of the offi- cers. The face was smooth, the bust was full and the feet were very small for a young man. Besides, a straggling lock or two of blonde hair could be seen dangling over the neck. The officers followed the trio and asked them to stop. They charged the one in the center with being a woman. She blushingly admitted the soft impeach- ment and the result was she was sent in the patrol wagon to the City Prison, where | she was booked for masquerading in male attire. She said she was a married woman, 30 years of age, and gave the rame Mamie Roland. Subsequently she admitted that her husband’s name is Baldwin and that he is a well-known politician in Sacra- mento. She wore a natty suit of blue clothes that fitted her well-shaped figure to per- fection and a brown Fedora hat. Her scarf, collar, cuffs and shirt were of the latest style. Her dainty shoes were the only feature of her attire that was not masculine. The courtroom was crowded and when she appeared she was the cynosure of all eyes. She bore the scrutiny with becom- ing modesty. “What do you plead to this charge of wearing men’s clothes?” asked the Judge. “Guilty,” she said, “but I wish you | would let meoff. It's the first time I was | ever arrested and I didn'v know it was against the law. 1t was all a joke.” “Where do you live?”’ “At Post and Kearny.” “Where did you get the clothes?” “They are my brother’s.” “Are you single?” “No; I'm married.” “Where is your husband 2’ “He is in Sacramento.”” *‘So you thought you would have a good time, eh ?” “I just wanted to celebrate the Fourth, and then I wanted to see some of the sa- loons where women can’t go.” Her attorney begged the court to allow | her to go on her own recognizance, as it was her first offense. “I won’t do any such thing," retorted | the Judge. ‘“This case is much more seri- ous than appears on the face of it. If we let these new women wear our clothes they will be wanting to wear our whiskers by | and by, and then where will we men get | off? The defendant is ordered to appear for sentence Weduesday morning, and in | the meantime [ would advise her to change her clothes.” | The Judge fixed her bonds at $100, which | were immediately forthcoming, and she | left the courtroom with her friends. HOW THE HALL WILL BE, New Municipal Building to Be| Erected on an Old | Site. Revised Plans Finally Accepted by the Board of Supervisors. The Plan. The new municipal building to be erected on the site of the old City Hall— the ground space extending on Kearny sireet from Merchant to Washington, and on Merchant from Kearny to Dunbar alley—should be a handsome addition to the public edifices of San Francisco. The Legislature authorized the Board of Super- visors to appropriate $300,000 for the build- ing and permanent fixtures. The Saper- visors reserved $25,000 to pay for plans, ad- vertising and incidental expenses, leaving $275,000 for the building proper. It is provided in the act that the entire work shall be included in one contract, This provision was made to obviate delay in construction. The building should be finished and ready for use within one year from this time. The plans of the architects, Shea & Shea, which the Supervisors have finally ac- cepted, promise an or namental as well as a substantial building. An example of the Italian renaissance in heavy rustic stone will be shown in the first ang second stories. The upper, or third, fourth and fifth stories, will be in pressed brick and terra cotta. The building will rise to the height of 75 feet above Kearny street, and the top of tne tall tower will be 120 feet above the sidewalk curb. The structure is to be of steel frame and fireproof throughout. There are no wooden joists. The flooring is to be the only thing wooden about, the house. The plans provide for three entrances, a main entrance on Kearny and one on Mer- chant and another on Washington street. The architects contend that the entrance on Merchant street will be quite as ample and convenient as that which led from the same thoroughfare to the interior of the old City Hall. There is this difference, however. The main floor, or the first one above the basement in the old building, was reached by a flight of steps ascending from the street. In the new structure one | spirits hung back. All were a unitin their | defiance of all the croakers, male and interior stairway and elevator connecting with the upver stories. men and others who are called on to visit the hall daily may insist on a passageway leading to the main floor directly from Merchant. The Kearny-street entrance may be in one sense the most important, but the majority of citizens having business to transact in the hall will, as of old, seek the entrance on Merchant street. Should their wishes be ignored steps may be taken to cause a suspension of work until the de- sired changes are made. The police courts, the administrative de- | partments of the police, and the criminal departments of the Superior Court will be | provided with ample accommodations in the new house. The driliroom for the police will be in the basement. - The cells for prisoners will be on the top floor, and will be so arranged that men, women and boys may be separated and the hardened criminals placed apart from other prison- ers. No keys will be used for unlockin cells. A mechanical device at a central | point will lock or unlock any cell on the floor. Two spacious electrical elevators with speed attainment of 300 feet per minute will be provided for general public use. In addition there will be a large secret or cell elevator in which to transfer prisoners from the van to the rotunda, or from the | rotunda to the courtroom. Special attention has been given to the sanitary requirements of the Receiving Hospital. The hospital will be located on the main floor, or the first above the base- ment, facing Merchant street and Dunbar alley. The building throughout is to be heated by steam. e — CAUGHT ROBBING A STORE. E. L. Ralston and Thomas Curley | P aced Under Arrest. | L. E. Ralston, a young man, was seen leaving the grocery of Henry Muller, | corner of Sutter and Devisadero streets, | about 2 o’clock yesterday morning, by Po- licemen Tuchler and Keys and Special Offier Doyle. He had a box of cigars un- months ago, and Beals says that since Lawyers, business | then he has been constantly annoying him. “He has been endeavoring to get some books and papers from me,” said Beals, “and a few days ago he met me as I was going into the office and threatened to bore me full of holesunless I gave up the books and papers. 1 believe he will carry out his threat. 5 I have been keeping his wife and fam- ily since he absconded and bave done everything I could to straighten out the tangled mess in which he left his affairs, and I don’t propose now to have my life threatened by him.” THE TOLAND WILL CASE. Amended Opposition to the Probate of the Will of May B. Toland. A motion to dismiss the contest of Wil- liam Gridley Toland, of the will of Mary Tolard, was made in Judge Slack’s court yesterday, but went over until July 10. Samuel.M. Shortridge, attorney and guardian of the contestant, entered an amended opposition to the probate of the will, setting forth that the will and testa- ment presented is not the last will and testament of Mary B. Toland and was not witnessed, as- claimed, by George K. Hooper. Tt is also alleged that at the time of the execution of the will in question, Mary B. Toland was not of sound mind. A half-interest in the estate is claimed for James Gridley Toland. e e Almshouse Statistics. Superintendent Reddy of the Almshouse filed his annual report with the Board of Super- visors yesterday, showing that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 721 males and 144 females were namitted to the institution. There were remaining in the house July 1 1895, 794 inmates, making & grand fotal of 1659.

Only to think, we are | going to work the entire State, precinct by | precinct. We surely cannot fail.” These and an infinitude of less coherent exclamations are making the air rosy in | the vicinity of the woman suffrage head- | quarters. i The facts which have evoked this burst | of enthusiastic rejoicing are briefly as fol- | lows: For some time past the leading friends of the woman suffrage cause have | been cautiously sounding their way to- ward the realization of a pet scheme—the | establishment of an organizea system of precinct clubs. A number of meetings | have been held, at which the matter has | been discussed at length, but without any definite result. The last meeting of the State Central Committee, however, settled the matter, and a vigorous campaign is now 1n proc of organization. Those present were: Mary G. Ha, Mrs. A. & s chairman of the committee, Miss Susan B. An- thony, it and Mrs. Nellie | Holbroo! the entire person- | nel of the committee, with the exception of Mrs. Austin Perry, who was absent from the City. At this meeting the matter of | the precinct clubs was again formally brought up. There was much discussion | as to the probable outcome of the project. | As is usual in such gatherings, some timid | belief that their proposed plan of c¢am- | paign was a good one, but would it work? | The iadies do not care to say just how they answered the timorous queries of the doubting Thomasinas. The latter contin- gent was, however, vanquished. and passed over to the ranks of the bolder spirits, who have made up their minds that in spite of all ovposition, in spite of ridicule and in female, the plan shall work, for they will make it work. Accordingly the work has commenced in this City, and in the course of a few days will be inaugurated in the interior towns, about twenty of the largest of which are anticipating the organization of clubs. The local work is in charge of Mrs. Clara Long, who has in the space of less than a week proved herself a most able organizer. As soon as the clubs are formed regular meet- ings will be held at each of them, with ad- dresses by such eloquent lady orators as Miss Anthony, the Rev. Anna Shaw and Mrs. Chapman-Catt. Meanwhile great interest in the woman suffrage movement is rife in the interior towns. Requests for suffrage pamphlets are pouring in at the headquarters day after day in constantly increasing volumes, and the stenographers, typewriters and secretaries are taxed to their utmost in order to keep the correspondence an- swered up to date. ‘The keynote to the entire suffrage movement,”’ said Miss Hay yesterday, *‘is confidence—confidence in the justice ot our cause, corfidence in the efficient aid of our powerful friends, among whom THE CALL was first and is reckoned chief, and above all confidence in the glorious vic- tory which awaits us in November.” e WRITING Tablets 5 cents to 2b cents eacn.
