THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, WOMEN ON THE WITNESS-STAND An Effort Made to Protect Them From Legal Cruelty. An Alameda Inventor Would Rob the Telephone of Its Romance. ANYTHING TO DOWN DAVIE The Mayor Declares the Legislature, Not the Council, Shou d Handle the Mi k Question. OAELAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Oct. 4. Some ladies of this city are trying to discover why the character of a female witness in the courts should be so fre- quently assailed for no other purposs than to help a second-class lawyer bolster up a wezak case. One of the women in the very frontrank of active workers in Oakland expressed herself very forcibly on this Guestion yes- terday. ‘I have noticed,” she said, “that no matter for what purpose a woman may be a witness, there is among a certain class of lawyers, a certain cruel and unpro- ional deiight apparently -taken, in hu- ig such a witness before a crowded and depraved lobby, such as invariably g around courtrooms. I have seen he wost irreproachatle of women, some of them wives and mothers, insulted in such a subtle manner that the Judge could hardiy interfere without an appear- ance of prejudice. “A lovely little woman was in court a few daysago. She had the misfortune to be the wife ot an unprincipled fellow who was doing his best to avoid the responsi bility of keeping his children. Afier a whisper with the father the attorney asked: ‘Are all these children your hus- band’s?” The witness did not at once grasp the question, and then followed oth- ers, such as ‘Do you know Mr, —7¥' ‘Did you ever go out with him?' and sim- ilar cruel insinuations, and when the little mother left the stand she was so humili- ated that she went into the witness-room and cried berself hysterical. The mis- chief had been done, and the lobby and the jury had been given a cruel and false impression. This is only one case, but doz of others have come under my im- mediate notice.’" & The ladies who are trying to infuse manhood into unprincipled attorneys have undertaken a hard task. In Oak- land, as in all other cities, the Police Court practitioner does not legaily re- quire a diploma, and as a rule he only knows enough about the rule of evidence to keep himself out of contempt of court, | although he does not know enocugh of decency to keep himself ont of the con- tempt of the public. Bince Harry Melvin was appointed Pubiic Prosecutor - this class of ‘“‘attorney” has often been made to feel sorry that he spoke, but unfortu- nately Mr. Melvin's aservices are some- times required outside of the Police Court, and his absence is generally taken ad- vantage of. Judge Wood is ir no way lacking in gallantry, but he is a Judge and his hands are somewhat tied. Until men will be decent because it is right, women witnesses will continue to be legally insulted. The Alameda man who has invented s machine that will show who is at the other end of a telephone must expect to meet with great opposition. When his in- vention shall have become common it will rob the telephone of all its romance and will reduce it to the level of an ordi- nary element of commerce and society. The latitude at present enjoyed because e may be 8 mistake as to who is at the other end, will be a thing of the past. The frequently practiced deception of imitat- ing another person’s vo.ce and thereby preventing a possible unpleasantness, must cease. The chagrin of tinding that you are talking to another lady when you thought you were addressing your wife, will no longer be felt. All these and many other contretemps will be avoided, and indirectly the new machine may prove to be a moral force. It remains to be seen just what the effact of the invention will be, but City Clerk Lamborn bhas divulged some, and it is the privilege of the public to guess the rest. They are busily doing so and there are not a few who predict that the present frivolous generation will have passed away before sight can be made to travel as fast as sound over the 'phone. Mayor Davie has made a discovery, He has found out that men who are honest in business, honest in their private life and good citizens who would scorn to do any meanness, can be ruined by politics, He has received proof, he says, that men will do anything to further their political am- bition. Of course at this time his Honor's remarks apply to the City Council and the Board of Health. The former body is fighting the Mayor over the tax levy, and the latter is most interested in the tuber- culin test ordinance. Regarding the milk legislation the Mayor's argument is un- doubtedly fair. He has stated that the question of testing milk and of inoculat- ing cows is not a matter for local legisla- tion. Itisof as much importance in one part of the State as another, and is a mat- ter with which the Legislature shoutd deal. It being a very serious matter to destroy a herd of cows and probably ruin a man’s business, the Mayor pelieves that such work shouid not be the result of a few experiments of a local veterinary doec- tor. “In less than three months,” said Mayor Davie to-day, “‘the Legislature will meet and this matter will be thoroughly handled. Itis not a subject for a .ew doc- tors and a horse-doctor to deal with, “There will probably be a bill passed authorizing the appointment of a com- mission of scientific men to examine into the tuberculin test. We have gone all these years without any apparent evil, and it cannot make much difference if we wait and deal with the matter intelli- gently. I doubt very much whether a municipal ordinance can be made with such power. Heavy damage suits would certainly be brought sgainst the city of Oakland, and no other city can afford to run any such risks. These men who are trying to railroad this ordinance through would, 1f they followed their consciences, express views similar to my own, but it is anything to down Davie, and as I have Vetoed the ordinance they will pass it, ul possible, by fair means or foul. And this is polities.” 8. W.B. Love at First Sight.

The subject of caring for the waifs of the city was taken up at the First Chris- tian Church to-night, and the matter was, after discussion, postponed till the | special committee of the City Christian Endeavor Union shall make its report.

EFFECT OF BRIGET RIBBONS. Frightened tho Horses, but the Wheel- men Made NoEffort to Prevent the Accident OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broad way, Oct. 4. An accident occurred on Castro Hiil, near Haywards, ‘to-day that may eud fatally. Mr. and Mrs. William Garrido were driving toward Palomares Canyon, when they met two cyclists who had streamers of bright ribbons flying from the handle- bars of their wheels. As they approached the horses the animals became restive, and Mr. Garrido, who was driving, tried his best to check them, but he was not strong enough. If the cyclists noticed the fright of the horses they made no effort to help matters, but kept on riding, and when they were almost abreast of the animals the riders put on a spurt and thoroughly scared the horses. The wheelmen rode on and did not stop to see the effect of their thoughtlessness. The horses became wild and bolted, and the old couple in the wagon were helpless to restrain them. On they dashed, and at several places where the road was rough the wagon was tilted up and the occu- pants tbrown from one side of the seat to the other. The canyon road is very uneven in places and some sections have ravines on either side. The animals rus ed on, and as they were approaching a part of the road where there is a steep bank Garrido and his wife bot grasped the reins, but they were unable to check the wild career of the horses. The wagon approached the point of danger, the horses swerved and the occupants were thrown down the bank. Others driving along the road saw the accident and hurried to the relief of the victims. Garrdo’s head was badly cut ana bruised and was bleeding freely, and ke complained of other injuries, although he was partly unconscious. Mrs. Garrido was badly hurt. Her right arm is broken and she 1s badly cut, and it is feared that both are injured in- ternally. ‘lhe Garridos were taken to a doctor’s and attended to, but the report of their condition is very unfavorable and it cannot yet be told what the result minir be. r. and Mrs. Garrido are well-to-do ranchers and are both advanced in years, which militates against their chancesof recovery. The wagon was smashed and the horses scratched, but not badly. Nothing was heard of the cyclists after they bad frightened the horses.

THE UNION-SQUARE MARKET. It Is One of the Best Appointed Places of the Kind on the Coast. There i8 practically nochange in the market, and there is not liable to be any until aiter the election. All manner of sound reasons can be and are advanced by real estate men to induce people to buy, but their arguments bear but little fruit, as the records testify. The follow- ing paragraph, taken from Wooster & Whit- ton’s (San Jose) real estate circular, states in coneise jorm the many reasons why the pres- ent market offers the greatest assurance of good returns on all purchases end investments made now? THE TIME TO BUY. “‘Often we have heara and read the familiar phrase, ‘Now is the time to buy.’ the molding of these words came from the monumental mind of the professional fakir, but, nevertheless, there is meat in the phrase now. The source of ail wealth is the soil, and the great fortunes made by citizens of all countries have come, as a rule, from judicious investments in real estate.
