Moors’ Orchestra, Miss ILLEGALLY HELD IN BROADWAY JAIL Judge Hunt's Order for G. Kentras’ Release Not Honored. Jailer Dunn Claimed Lack of Authority to Liberate the Prisoner. Friends of the Accused Are Angry and Will Carry the Case to the Courts. G. Kentras, arrested a few weeks ago on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, was tried before Judge Hunt yesterday afternoon. The case was closed and the jury was locked up to delibarate on a ver- dict. After an hour or so Judge Hunt was informed that a verdict could not be reachea. Some were for conviction, some for acquittal, while others believed the de- fendant guilty of simple assault. This being the case the Judge dis- charged the jury, and on motion of de- fendant’'s counsel, J. N. E. Wilson, or- dered the bond, on which Kentras had been enjoying his liberty while his case was pending, removed. This was done. Deputy Clerk Harry Piper acknow ledged the court's order and affixed the seal. B. M. Gopchevitch, editor of the Srbin Amerikanic, a friend of the accused, took the bond and order of release to the County Jail last evenine at 8 o’clock, but was disappointed in his endeavor to se- cure his friend’s liberty. Deputy Jailer James Dunn, who was on duty at the time the order was presented, refused to release his prisoner. I have received orders not to release any prisoner,” said Mr. Dunn, *‘unless the chief jailer or bookkeeper is present.” Expostulations were useless, and Ken- tras' iriend was in despair. He was in- formed by the jailer that in case he called on the Sheriff and he ordered the pris- oner’s release the order would be obeyed, but otherwise he would have to respect his instructions. Gopchevitch then called on Attorney Wilson and explained the situation, and the latter addressed a mnote to Sheriff Whelan reguesting Kentras’ immediate release. Gopchevitch, the note in his pos- session, went in search of the Sheriff, bnt failing to find him returned to the jail. Dunn, however,was obdurate and Kentras was forced to remain in jail twelve hours longer than the law demanded. Now the question arises what will be the outcome of the jailer's refusal to re- lease the prisoner when a legal order of releaseis presented to him? Is the Sberiff liable for false imprison- ment? Isthe deputy jailer in contempt of court, or the man who issued the order commanding jailers to release no one un- less the chief jailer or the bookkeeper are present? Does the law allow a Sheriff to pass an order of release issued by acourt and obey itat his pleasure. The questions will in all probability be answered before the culmination of the present case, as the friends of the impris- oned man intend to carry the matter to the courts for settlement. AN OPIUM SEIZURE. Customs Inspectors Capture a Smuggler, but Two Others Make Their 1scape. There was an exciting scene on Twelfth ana West Mission streets between 7and 8 o’clock last night, in which several cus- toms inspectors and three opium smug- glers participated. Inspector E. A. Ho!mes headed a party of customs officers who were in search of three smugglers. They came acro-s them at Twelfth and West Mission streets while they were apparently making for Brady street. As soon as they saw the customs officers they made a break for liberty, dropping the sacks and basket they carried. One of them was seized by the officers and held. Inspector Holmes fired two shots at the other two to intimidate them, but they were not to be intimidated and made their escape. The prisoner was taken to the Seven- teenth-street station, where a charge of having smuggled opium in his_possession was entered against him. He gave the name of S8am Brown, but as he is a native of Greece that is believed to be an assumed name. He positively refused to say any- thing, and pretended not to understand the English language. Louise Humphrey Smith ana J. W. McKenzy will assist in the programme. Attorney-General Fitzgerald says that the question invoived in the outstanding bonds and coupons, known as the Indiaa war bonds, as to the liability of the State, is extremely close gnd doubtful. The case of Davis against Lhe State may soon be heard in the Supreme Sourt. BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH. Governor Budd and Presidents Prominent Bodies Given a Banquet. The members of the Board ot Health last night gave a banquet at the Maison Riche to the presidents of the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants’ Association, and prominent officials, in- cluding Governor James H. Budd. The presiaent of the Board of Health set forth that the banquet was given as an appreci- ation of the establishment of a fitting health department in this City. Around the walls of the banquet-room were large framed sentiments of the Board of Health as uttered by resolutions at regular meetings. One of these read: The board will see to it that light—sunlight, if possible—and pure air shall permeate the habitation of every human being in San Fran- cisco, and that the dark, damp, foul places be- low and above ground which breed and em. phasize aisease, moral as well as physical, shall do so no longer. The room was handsomely decorated and the repast an elaborate one. There of were many speeches, 8 number of them being very happy, and all being in line with the course of the Board of Health and in encouragement of the efforts made to make San Francisco a clean, beautiful and attractive city. - _Among those present were the follow- ing: Governor Budd, Mayor-elect J. D. Phelan, J. B. Reinstein, A. A. Watkins, ¥. Dohrmann, Charles M. Bhortridge, Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger, the Rev. Peter C. Yorke, Dr. Beverly Cole, Prolessor Carey Jones, R.

Chbin Gwok's tale of the alleged kidnaping of ‘hisdaughter, SBuey Ting Gwok, on Saturday afternoon, facked the element of truth. The Dolice say they have found that he has noin- lerest whatever in the restaurant at 810 Jack- son street, but 18 the keeper ofa duregnu ble house where the girl was an inmate. She was N0t his daughter and eloped with her lover. Chin Gwok sought the aid of the police to re- cover her by telling the story that she was his daughter and had been kidnaped.

KICK AND FIGHT. Indian Football Players May Jouraey to the West—The Pugilists The Olympic Club directors met yester- day and discussed at length a proposition submitted by Leader Taylor of having the great Indian football team journey to this City for the purpose of playing a series of intercotlegiate football games. The di- rectors thought very favorably of - the proposition and may possibly arrive at some definite conclusion at their next meeting. The bandball tournament is progressing slowly, but much interest is centered in the result of the first-class contest. Superintendent Kennedy is negotiating with several Eastern pugilists, with the view of matching George Green, the club’s favorite, against some good man. When the name of Jack McAuliffe was men- tioned by some member Kennedy smiled blandly and jocosely remarked that Jack carries too much weight. Dan Lynch, the manager and confiden- tial adviser of Tom Sharkey, when spoken to last evening concerning the referee who is to decide the coming contest between Fitzsimmons and Sharkey, said that he bad not the remotest idea who the man would be, but that he will have some idea in a week or so. am ready to confer with Mr, Jnflln," said Lynch, “‘at any time that heis pre- pared to talk business in that particular.” In case tue pugilists cannot decide upon a referee the club will select some man from among the sports of this town. Both fighters are feeling first class, ana will be in good condition to enter the ring on the evening of December 2. The managers of the Golden West Club expect a largze crowd to witness the Ryan and Tracey fight, and Harry Lask, the club’s director-general, will be very much disappointed if the house is not packed. It id that the ‘rnglh’su are now in first- shape and will make a Lot fight from start to finish. They have been in- structed not to talk while they are en- gaged in actual warfare. BROUGHT 40,000 TURKEYS, Thanksgiving Birds Arrive Here From Oakland in the Willamette Valley. George Jj. Stearns, one of the pioneer business men of the town of Oakland, Or., arrived here yesterday with 40,000 dressed turkeys, which came by express, The turkeys are for Thanks; tion. They were alf rais of Oakland, which is a creat center for wurkeys. Last year Mr. Stearns brought several carloads of turkeys here. It was in the craws of some of those iving consump- in tue vicinity the gold having been picked up by the fowls as the walked over the placer grounds which are located about Oakland, MANCHESTER MARTYRS. Their Anniversary Fittingly Celebrated by St. Patrick’s Alliance in Metro- politan Hall. In commemoration of the anniversary o!.r the Manchester martyrs—Allen, Lar- kin and O'Brien—Unity Alliance No. 14, St. Patrick’s Alliance of America, held appropriste musical and literary exercises last night in Metropolitan Hall. The Alliance is purely a fraternal and benevolent organization, It has been estavlished for thirty years and is strictly non-sectarian and were he alive to-day could join it, as well as Daniel O’Conneli (Catholic). Member- ship is open to all Irishmen and thewr descendants of sound physical condition exist in all the States and Territories of the Union. It is not oathbound and its to the constitution of the United States. The programme of last night had been very well arranged and the numbers were so well sung and played that every one Wwas persistently encored. The instrumental selections consisted of a medley of Irish airs on the grand organ by Miss Marie Giorgiani; a cornet solo, “Killarney,” and ¥aure’s by M. Grennan; a harp solo, “The Harp that Once Through Tara’s Halls,” and a 8. J. Tully. The vocal numbers were *‘The Last Rose of Summer” and ““The Low Backed Car,” by Miss Kitty Black; *The Heart Bowed Down,” by Wiliiam T. O'Brien; “The Meeting of the Waters,” by Lottie Craw- ford; tenor solo, “The Shamrock,” and “Silent, O Movle, Be the Roar of thy Waters”; *Kathieen Mavourneen,” by Miss Anita L. Roney and_a trio; *‘Come Back to Erin,” by Miss Kitty Black and Messrs. D. Manlioyd and G. W. Woods. The oration by Colonel John O’Byrne, the hero of 1848, was as flowery as Moore's description of the Vale of Cashmere and alive with patriotism. Colonel O’'Byrne gave a graphic review of Ireland’s history under British domi- nation, and in support of his assertions quoted liberally from well-known Eng- lish historians. The cruelties of Strong- bow and Cromwell, the devastation and depopulation of the fairest island in the Nortliern Hemisphere by its English con- querors, as well as the unconquerable patriotism and heroism of Ireland’s g lant sons and daughters, were depicted by the speaker in a most telling manner. From these bloody events down to those of 1798, 1848 and 1867 the speaker lea his fascinated hearers, and when he had done they were loth to leave the hall. NEW TO-DAY.

Maguire Tilt at the Unitarian Dinner. They Agree That the Contest Is Probably by No Means Ended. Colonel Irish, Senator P:rkins and Others Talk—A Banquet Attended by Many People. Over 100 members of the Unitarian Club the club given last night at the California Hotel. Warren Olney, the president of the club, occupied the seatat the head of the board. Hon. John P. Irish and Con- gressman James G. Maguire sat at his immediate rizht and Professor G. W. Howison at bis left. The president an- nounced that at the lastdinner the cam- paign was discussed, and it now seemed fitting to discuss the results of the cam- paign. He therefore called on Professor Howison of the State University, a prom- inent gold man, to open the discussion. The professor was not long in coming to points of issue. He told of the earnest work that had been done in the campaign and added that the right had triumphed, at least he so believed. “Tue truth is,”’ said the professor, “‘that we have probably passea through the greatest crisis in the history of our coun- But as a student of human affairs T cannot share the opinion of the New York | Nation that we have buried free silver out ot sight. I sincerely wish we have, but I am afraid not.” Presiaent Olney said that at the previ- ous dinner it had been found that there were seventy gold men and seven silver men present. Amongthe silver advocates he spoke of Congres:man James G. Ma- guire as an honest, able and conscientious gentleman, whom many men of opposite polilical faith supported. He calied on bim for a speech. Congressman Maguire made a happy introduction and then said: “The money question was not the great issue of the campaign. I do agree with Professor Howison that the campaign is not over. Both the leading parties are pledged to the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver. The one which pronounced for gold received but the merest fraction of ihe votes ofj the United States. What is ‘sound money? Forty- seven cents of the silver dollar we now have is fiat. The proposition of the Damoc- racy was to restore the yalue of silver.” Colonel John P. Irish, Senator Perkins, Dr. Stebbins and other speakers followed. Colunel Irish, who stumped the country for the gold Demoerats, was listened to with unusual interes WHY DID NOT SHERIDAN RISE? No Plausible Reason for His Being Kept Out of the Cabinet. The case of Sheridan, as we now have it before us, appears to give some additional pungency to the question how it was that official preferment. I remember convers- ing forty or more years ago with Lord Lansdowne (the Lord Henry Petty of All the Talents) on the subject of the tradi- tional imputation on the Whigs that they would allow no one to enter the Cabinet unless qualified by some nobi!itfiof origin. I observed thatthe name of Burke was the mainstay of the imputation. Lord Lansdowne replied that Burke was an impossible colleague in a Cabinet, by reason of his fractious and ungovernable temper. But there was no mention of the case of Sheridan, who _presented, together with Fox and Lord North, an example of gentleness and equability never surpassed in that best of all schools for temper, the House of Commons. I am at a loss to conceive what, had the case of Sheridan been put to him, would have been Lord Lansdowne’s answer. He was a most fair- minded and appreciative man. Why, then was Sheridan, who stood so high in all the great public qualities of a politi- cian, always relegated to a secondary po- sition? Gambling ought not to have dis- qualified him more taan Fox. But, much 10 his credit, he never gambled, and he condemned the abominable practice. Witn respect to wine, it may be said that there was notbing in his habits down to the latest of his opportunities of taking office (in 1806) which could constitute so much as a pretext for it. The cause could not lie in his debts; his trespasses upon others were tritling in comparison with the liabilities of other foremost men. In the early days the presence of a Burke excludedy might have been a bar to the inclusion ot Sheridan in the Cabinet, but Burke was dead and gone long before the latest and best of these occasions. He felt it acutely; a worse man would have felt it vengefully. It is no wonder that, when accepting the office of treas- urer to the navy, be should have written to Fox and said that he accepted it with- out the smallest sense of obligation to anybody. Itis possible tbat his immer- sion in the affairs of the theater may have been deemed an objection. Butif this was 8o, ought he not to have had an oppor- tunity given him of removing the impedi- ment by finding, if he could find them, means for releasing himself from that con- nection? There is no parallel case in our political history, and happily, it may now be assumed with confidence that there never will be.—Nineteenth Century. AL One Vast Garden. Jl.pln is one vast garden, and asyou look over the fields you can imagine that they are covered with top farms where children are playing with the laws of na- ture and raisiug samples of different kinds of vegetables and grains. Everything is on a diminutive scale and the work is as fine and accurate as that applied to a cloi- sonne vase. What would an Iliinois or an Iowa farmer think of planting his corn, wheat, oats and barley in bunches and then, when it is three or four inches high, transplanting every spear of it in rows about as far about as you can stretch your fingers? A Japanese farmer weeds his wheat fields just as a Connecticuf farmer weeds his onion bed, and cultivates his po- | tatoes and barley with as much care as a | Long Island farmer bestows upon his as- paragus or mushrooms or his flowers. he did not rise higher upon the ladder of | 10 SAVE HALF A MILLION ON BONDS Indian War Claims Being Pressed in the Su- preme Court. The Interest Is Heavy and the State Is Largely Concerned. Attorney-General Fitzgerald That the State May Escape a Big Loss. Says The case of Davis against the State of California is liable to come soon to a hearing in the Supreme Court. This is one of what are known as the Indian war bond cases, and therefore the Davis case has a peculiar interest. Eight similar cases have been instituted under the en- abling act of 1873. The Molineaux and Bates cases were begun in the Superior Court in Sacramento County in 1894. These were the first of the series. The Superior Court gave judgment in full for the amounts asked for. Attorney- General Fitzgerald argued the Molineaux case before the Supreme Court, and that court disaliowed the interest by which a saving in two cases of $24,85140 was ef- fected, which was about three and one- half times the value of the bonds and cou- pons sued upon. Since these two cases two others have been brought, one of which is the Davis case, for $32,260 face value and for interest. The other is Scott against the State for $1600 face valus and for interest. Judgment was rendered in conformity with the Molineanx decision for the face value of the bonds and cou- pons in each case, but judgment for in- terest approximating $125,000 was denied. The Davis case has been appealed to the | Bupreme Court for the purpose of again | testing the question of interest. The face value of bonds and coupons sued upon in the cases of Reis, Baldwin, Mea: and Davis against the State aggregates $80,- 342 17. The cases have been tried and sub- mitted to the court on briefs. The Davis case has given evidence of being alive | during the past few days. Concerning these cases Attorney-Gen- eral Fitzgerald wrote recently in an official publication: *‘The liability of the State upon these outstanding bonds and coupons of 1852 has not teen determined. The question is an extremely close and doubt- ful one, However, should judgment go against’'the State the Molineux case must again control and judgment can be given for the face value of the bonds and coupons only. This will result in another saving to the State of interest approxi- NEW TO-DAY AMUSEMENTS.
