E— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1897 ARESPONSIBLE POLICE COURTS. The Grand Jury Would| Have Them Made Responsible. Clerks and Prosecutors Should Be Made Amenable to | Somebody. | | County Clerk Should Appoint the For- ‘ mer and the District Attor- ney the Latter. ! —_— { If the Civic Federation really means to | sttempt the reform of Police Court meth. ods which have for so long served to 1ro- tect evildoers wherever it seemed worth while it will find a very valuable assistant in the present Grand Jury. | The committee of the Grand Jury dele- | zated to the especial duty of investigating the police and other courts held its first formal meeting yesterday, and Judge | Low, in response to an invitation, at- | tended the session, and, answering their | inquiries, gave the members much to | think about. | Forenyan Peixotto attended the meet- ing, and in spea 1ast evening of the matter under discusssion he said: “The Jax methods in vogue in our police courts | have long been a matter of public scan- | dal. They should be corrected. The | Grand Jury, however, is powerless to dv | more than o call publicattention to them | and recommend a change. | he main trouble arises from the fact | ¢ the Police Court clerks and prosecut- | th g attorneys are appoinied by the Board | of Supervisors and are amenable to nobody but that board. As Juage Low put it this afterncon, ‘the Supervisors make the ap- pointments, and from that moment have no further interest in them So the pr cuting attorneys and clerks practically run the courts in many respects wholly inde- | pendent of anvbody. Tneir books are said 10 be very badiy kept, and there have been | rges of money purloined. i A% to the prosecution_of cases brought in the courts the system is also very weak. There is no continuity in cases held for the higher court; they goup to the Dis- | trict Attorney wifh nothing more than | e mere record. Now all this could be m making somebody re- the District ppointment of the uld be re- he would re- ; they woula 10 bear | bis inspection, and in cases ed into the criminal courts they could follow or st in the prosecution. “The clerks on the other hand might by appointed by the County Clerk and he in turn, be heid responsible for their con- duct. He would see that their honds were good, for instance. At present it is said 1o _be notorious that the bonds of these officers of the p le: 2 s were worth- nd have ne y: o been so.' | The Grand Jury w eet to-day, but | no report of the committee referred to will be made for some time. BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH Arthur Meadows’ Thrilling Ex-; perience in an Elevator Shaft. | A Perilous S'ide From the Third Story i of the San Francisco Furniture Factory. { The spectacle of & man hanging by a | slender rope in the freight-elevator shaft | of the San Francisco furniture factory— | three stoties from the bottom—electrified | a number of people yesterday morning. . | Arthur Meadows, manager of Lang's collection agency, did the aeria! act, and | only kLis presence af mind and strong grip | saved him from brogen limbs at the least | calculation. | Meadows is assisting John C. Hughes, | the assignee of the insolvent concern, to | straighten out its affairs, and spends a | portion of each day in the factory. He went there yesterday morning to see that | Police Station on OFarrell Street, Between Devisadero and Brod- erick, Now in Course of Construction for the Use of the some electrical work was properly done, and he took the workmen who had | been intrusted with the job in the freigh | hoist to show them the place where the | Tepairs were to be made: The workmen, with their tool chests, | were taken up to the third ‘story, where | all but Meadows alighted. The latter was about to leave the elevator, when the cage—either because it had been started by some employe® below, or because the machinery became down. Meadows seized the rope that operated the steam power and attempted to stop the hoist, but'to his horror it refused to work, and the elevator began to move rapidly down, accelerating its speed as it descended. Seeing a possibility of serious conse- | aquences if he fell with the cage, Meadows sprang at the rope and in an_instant was dangling in midair, the cage having falien from under him just as he made i3 leap. | He hune for aninstant debating whether | 1o climb to the third story landing or to stide to the bottom, end then concluded 1o take the latter course. The rope was_small and gave him little | purchase, but he sacceeded in reaching | 1he bottom with nothing worse than badly | skinned hands and a scare that will last him for many days. The unmanageable elevator struck the bottom with a resounding crash that brought all the employes in the building 10 th= scene. The tool-chests were thrown in all airections and the gools.scattered about. The rope that raised and lowered the Lift was thrown off its pulley by the shock and the machine was generally | shaken up. Meadows was aple to slide down the rope without serious accident from the ct that he was a sailor for several years and learned the manner in which mari- ners go up and down fragile looking ropes withott apparent effort CHASED A PICKPOCKET, His Pursuit and Kscape Caused Great Excitement on Market Street. A well-dressed pickpocket mixed with the crowd in the Chicago store, 1812 Mar- Ket street, about 2 o’clock yesterday after- noon and caused the wildest excitement. Alady felt his band in her pocket and when she saw her well-filled purse in the grasp of the thief she tried to seize him and screamad out that her purse was stolen. The thief with the purse in his hand dashed out of the store followed by some of the clerks and customers and ran across deranged—started | Market street and down Seventh. The pursuers yelled “‘Stop thief.”” and a young man who was on Seventh street made a rush for the thief and managed to catch hold of him. There was & momenlary struggle and the thief broke away and dashed east on Stevenson street. Finding that his pursuers were gaining on him, and seeing a policeman at the other end of Stevenson street, he ran into a_stebie d from it into the rear of Westerield’s bakery, 1035 Murket street. Heran through the bakery and outinto Market street again, and all irace of him was lost. | He was described as a man about 5 feet 1034 inches tall, dark complexion, dark mustache, and wore a blue sack coat and | dark trousers. ; The lady who lost her puise did not return to the store, but went to police | headquarters and reported the robb-ry of her purse. The police refused to eive her ame and address, and would noteven admit that she )m3 reportea the robbery. = e Asthma cure guarsnieed, Dr. Gordin,s Chocolate Emuision,z21 Duvs,S.F., (al.$1a Lot 6-83. sam.5¢ A Witness Missing.

A meeling of the executive committee of the California Miners’ Association was held last evening at the Union League | Club, to focus, so to speak, upon matters | of interest to the guild to be brought be- fore the Legislature at Sacramento. | under discussion by the miners through- |out the State, which were | deemed of importance. These were submitted to Judge Hervey Lindley, Superior Juage Beicber and | other authorities, who were at the meet- |ing, and in a general discussion gave | their opinions in regard to the proposed | bills. Some of the bills, as was pointed out, were zlready covered by the Federal laws. Whatever may be done with these bills, as a result of the conference, there are two | others that were referred to which wiil cer- tainly be submitted to the Legislature for | passage. One of these asks an appropria- tion of $250,000 from the State to be added | to the National appropriation of the same | amount for the construction of impound- | ing dams, and another asks for $100,000 | for the founding of & home for oid and dis- | abled miners. Presigent Jacob Neff presided and Julian Sonntag sexved as secretary. There variously 1 f L Western Addition. the south side of O'Farrell street, between Devisadero and Broderick, which had not been built upon. This suited the require- ments and permission to erect a police station was obtained and instructions | givén to Architect W. O. Banks to pre- pare plans for a modern station, which he did, the probable cost of the building to be about $5000. These plaris were ap- proved by the Police Commissioners and Chiet Crowiey and Captain Wittman and were turned over to Corporal George Rus- sell and his assistant, Officer B. Judge, two practical mechanics of the depart- ment, under whose supervision the build- Ing is now being erected by John McKay, who obtained the contract for that pur- 0se. > The lot has a frontage of 25 feet and a depth of 90 feet, on which there will be a two-story frame building witk a side en- trance through which the patrol wagon will enter. In the rear of the building will be a | stable with four stalis. The station proper | will contain ou the ground floor the offices of the sergeant, the prison-keepers and such other minor quarters as may be necessary. In the rear on this floor will be nine cells. Two of these cells will be used for drunks, vagrants and common offenders, while alongside there will be seven smaller cells for the use of offenders whose crimes may be of greater magni- tude than that of misdemeanor. The second floor will be used as an as- sembly room fcr the men where those uni- form Jockers, arms and such other articles as are usually in use about a police sta tion will be kept, with furniture suitable for the men to use as a library or reading- room as they may desire. Electric lights will illuminate the entire building. The baseraent floor will be of concrete with a coat of bitumen spread over it which will keep down the dampness and give a solidity to the entire structure. It wes originally the intention of Chief Crowley to have attached to this station one of the new City ambulances with an attending physician who would always be on duty to iock after such emerzency calls s might come in from that portion of the City, but the funds at bis dispo=«al were too small, and to make up for the loss the Park Commissioners volunteered to erect suitable quarters in Golden Gate Park for the accommodation of the emer- gency szmbulance and the physician in attendance. For business men or country merchants the Russ House is the best place in 8, F.*; { were about twenty-five members present, among them being: Colonel C. W. Keyes, E. J. de Sabla, Tirey L Ford, Charles G. Yale, Lewis Gerstie and W. W. Montague. Besides these there was present an im- portant commiltee, consisting of Senator W. F. Prisk of Nevada County, Judge Saward of Plumas, Assemblyman C. D. Fontana of Calaveras, Assemblyman H. T. | Power of Placer and Assemblyman Robin- | son of Calaveras. These gentlemen came from Sacramento to confer informally with the executive committee of the Miners’ Association in regard 10 the vari- ous legislation which is now of interest to the miners. ‘Their views were given with more or less detail at the meeting. Mr. Power is being actively pushed for- ward for the position of chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining. He i has nad a great deal of experience in the | mines, and his associates say there is not | 2 man in California who 13 better qualified for the place. The gentiemen who came | as an informal committee along with Mr. | Power are working energetically for him. *‘We are pushing him forward for the | place,”’ said Assembiyman Fontana, *'be- | cause he represents th: most of the min- | ing interests. He own mines, and has | been actively enzaged in mining all his li‘e. He is active alsoin the California i Miners’ Association. He is now a member of the execut:ve committee of the ass: cia- tion, is a member of the Committee on Mineral Lands, and isalso a member of the Committee on Mining Legislation. He wili prove in all respects an admirable man for the position.” The members of the Assembly who came aown to attend the meeting and who are advocating Mr. Power are from the leading mining counties in the State, and are membars of the California Miners’ Association. DOG MEN GROWL. The Pacific Kennel Club Is Undecided Concerning the Holding of a Bench Show, i The Pacific Kennel' Ciub held a very— well, excitable, meeting Weanesday even- ing in a parlor of the Occidental Hotel. H. Bier, the president, called the meet- ing to order. Among the representatives of the club who condescended to honor the occasion by their presence were: T. J. ‘Watson, E. Briggs, F. A. Busbuell, H, Golcher, E. H. Wakemann, Horace Orear particular importance was whether the Pacific Kennel Club intended to hold to- rether and give a bench show this year or disband. Some favored the idea of disbanding and turning over the cash in the treasury'to some charitable institution, while others strenuously objected to this proposition and suggested that the club amalgamate with either the newly orzanized Olympic Gun Club or the St. Bernard Club, and that a show be held under the auspices of the Pacific Kennel Club, which is the pa- rent body. Motions of divers kinds were in order and out of order, but finally the presi- dent, after unloading himself of a large cargo of disgust, said that the chair could not entertain—with all due respect to the representatives of the Kennel Club who were present—any motion to disband, as there was but a bare quorum present and &n act of that kind wouid be an injustice to ‘tjne members who were unable to at- tend. Mr. Briggs moved that a committee of three be appointed to intetview the offi- cers of the Olympic Gun Cluband the St. Bernard Club and procure their views {zlndve to joining forces with the Pacific ennel Club with the object of giving a bench show ia this City this year. The motion was duly seconded and carried and Messrs. Briggs, Bushnell ana Haight were arpointed a committee to interview the officers of the clubs already mentioned and report sta special meeting of the Pacific Kennel Club, which will be held on Wednesday evening, the 20th instant. THE HEW WUSEC D Ladies and Gentlemen Dance the Quadrilles Prettily on Horseback. Now That the Riding Club Is a Suc- ccss It Will Have an Iron Home for Horses. It was another night for .the horse, another event in society circles, and it was second only in point of general interest to the horse show itself. The ladies were there, of course, and the gentlemen with them, and good form appeared to be that everything should be horsey and strictly in keeping with latest iashions. And the band played melodious music, an accom- paniment, as it were, to the specacle pre- sented. It was the first “music ride” of the San Francisco Riding Club. Since the club organized the members have unselfishly devoted themselves to developing it, with the result that the or- ganization has grown into one of the flourishing clubs of San Francisco. But this process of development went on quietly until the progressive element be- gan to look around for novelties—enter- tainments of a character that would amuse members and guests and at the same time make the club popular among tashionable people wholean toward horse- back riding. Various improvements were thought out and last night the most suc- cessfu! event in the club’s career was held. ‘The spacious hall that used toaccommo- date two companies of National Guards- men atdrill is now a riding-rineg, with a thick floor of clay and tanbark and sides bordered with sloping timbered walls to prevent accidents to horses or riders. In ihe front is a commodious gallery for spectators, and on the second floor a still larger one. Lastevening the galleries were crowded and among those present were several prominent men and leading ladies in society. Not a few handsome costumes were seen among the ladies. These music . rides are decidedly new bere, nothing of the kind having been at- tempted before, at least in San Francisco. In them society has found a new excite- ment, and to judge from last night's affa ir invitations to future rid s will be in tre- mendous demand. The club has 1ssued many invitctions to music rides, which are to be held at 8 o’clock every Thursday evening during the season, and it is be- lieved that if many more fortunate pos- sessors of those tickets avail themselves of this opportunity for enjoyment the rides will have to be given in some very large hall. For the present, however, it is likely that the clubhouse will meet all de- mands upon its space. Shortly after the appointed hour the programme begen last evening. The or. chestra struck up a lively air and every: body started into the iing. Captain Joseph Dilhan, late of the French army, and now riding-master of the club, was there. Presently several membvers of the club, ladies as well as gentlemen, entered the ring on horseback. They saluted and went through a serious of pretty evolu- tions, and finally danced the quadrilles and Jancers. The spectacle was peculiarly an attractive one, and the riders gave evi- dence of skill. At repeated intervals the spectators applauded warmly, and at last the first musical ride was declared the proper thing, Between the acts an officer of the club told his friends that arrangements had been made to enlarge and improve the ac- commodations. lot on the yest side of the club buildinz, and extending back from Pacific avenue 137:6 leet, has been secured. At present there is a small wooden stable upon part of this lot, but it is to be removed immediately and re- placed by a corrugated structure, fireproof throughout and fitted with most approved appliances for stabling horses. The front will be given some architectural beauty to conform with the ciubhouse, and the iron stabie will cover the whole lot. With a row of stalls in the clubhouse there will be room for fifty horses when the new stabies are built, and then the applicants for places will become active members of | the club. . NEWS FROM RANDSBURG. A Chatty Letter on the Latest at the New Camp. The following letter from Randsburg gives the latest news of the miniug camp in a concise and interesting style: RANDSBURG, Dec. 29, 1896. This is & wild camp, composed of 242 tents, mostly small ones, and 112 *shucks” and “xhlnlcles," ranging from 6x6 feet to 20x60 feet. The largesi are the dancehouses, gro- ceries, hotels and lodging-houses. It is hard j to get n bed in o comfortable place at any price. Every kind of trade is amply repre- sented on a small scale except the gambling- houses and saloons, which are represented ou a scale out of proportion to the numoer of the inhabitants. More “shanties” are erected every day, and it takes about two days’ work of two men to build one of them without plas- tering, ceiiings and with few windows. 1uis a mining camp in every respect except the mining partof i, As there nre only about seventy-five men employed in the mines out of about 1500 peo- ple the mouey to support the camp comes mostly from outsiders coming and going. There are three stages from Mobave and Lwo from Kramer every day, besides many teams hauling lumber, supplies and water. Very little development work has been done yel on the caims and mines, but jor the amount done there is aa excellent showing of rich, high-grads or Nominer or any one else who must have immediate work to uive should come here, as the camp is overstocked now,. Every foot of the surrounding country it taken up by claims, some two ana three deep. There isa prospect of lively times in settling up those claims. There is a rival camp just over the hill east of Randsburg named Johanuesburg, an im- mense, high-sounding name for a very small campofa few scattered tents, In faciliving here is about 1ike camping out on a vacantlot .in San Francisco surrounded by old tin cans and without the comiorts of nice pave- mante, atf. o % i ur “St. Elmo,” kept by gentlemanly pro- prietors, Messts, Hendarson snd.

Supervisor Devany had spoken to him regarding the matter and sug- gested thata bill be prepared and every effort be made to have it passed at the present sitting.of the Legislature. Mr. Mohrig said that us the matter now stood an old horse—a plug worth $5, or even nothing—if stolen it was a felony, whereas the theft of a bicycle worth $50 or $100 was only a larceny. ‘A bike is easily stolen,” he added, “and for that reason’the act should be punishable as a felony.” Mr. Upton of Sacramento said that the bicycle-dealers of the capital city would co-operate with a_delegation irom San Francisco in pushing the matter of a bill through the Legislature. They couid count upon the assistance of Assembly- men Ennis and Sims, who were members of bicyele clubs, It was decided that the matter would | be attended to and the bill be prepared. | The Cycle Board of Trade adjourned to mev. 1wo weeks from that time. OOMPANY A'S REUNION. All Living Members Gather Around ; a Campfire. OAKLAND, Car., Jan. 7.—Company A, Fifth Regiment, held a reunion and camp- fire to-night for the first time since its or- ganization over thirty years ago. As many oid members as are living of the old guard were preseni, and the énter- tainment was of an enthusiastic nature. The old guard has an interesting his- tory. At the beginning of the Civil War, Oakland had less than 2000 inhabitants, But the patriotic feeling was so strong that they decided to send a military com« pany to the front. The company was organized and mus- tered into the California State Militia in June, 1861, and later attached to tie Sec- ond Regiment of Artiliery. When the National Guard was reduced in 1872, the Oakland Guard was mustered out, but the same evening mustered in again as an un- attached bod. —_—————— A Patent Cnalice.
