Those campaign criticisms on the part of various people which irritated the sen- sitive breast of Judge J. C. B. Hebbard to such an extent as to drive him to an at- tempt to gag any expression of opinion of political candidates appear to be daily be- coming a source of more worry to him. The attempt of Editor Marriott to justify on he expressed previous to the | roving that Hebbard was not | maculate & candidate as the | y of the bench should exact has de- | to an attempt on the part of | who is seexing libel redress to | and shat out evidence by every | resort known to law. | | rs of the People's Home Sav- | Bank and the management of it by Sheehan during his term as re- tender spots, which positively to Hebbard’s attorneys when | Marriott’s attorney, Samuel M. dge, would probe into them.

Judge Heb- bard was aware of thedcts that brought this board into being, and the incident was one of many which led Editor Mar- riott into eriticizing Hebbard’s qualities and record as a candidate for Superior Judge and accuse him of being *‘morally Tesponsible”’ for certain 10sses to the de- yositors. Judge Daingerfield thought, how- ever, that there was some doubt of Heb- | bard’s knowledge of the affair and Flour- | noy was not allowed to reply. When Attorney Shortridge attempted to elicit from Flournoy what loss the bank sustained in the Sherman matter, Heb- bard’s attornevs again interposed. An attempt to have Flournoy relate the de- tails of the manner by which Sherman red an extension of his indebtedness the same fate. 5 Ve wish,” argued Attorney Shortridge, justify Mr. Marriot’s expression hat Hebbard wasa disgrace and to that end put facts be- ‘to of opinion t 1o the bench, t fore the jury to enable them to determine f Mr. Marriott was correct in his opin- We wish to show that Judge Heb- rd was the instrument by which and thout which certain men. couid not e accomplished their purposes, and that any citizen was consequently justified 1 oy posing his candidacy.” A new tack was taken with equally tiess result. Flournoy was not al- lowed to say that Hebbard’s attention was called fo the doingsand inanipula- s of Sheehan and his board of di- rectors and the inquiry was dropped. It was thought that the list of Heb- bard’s court employes who attempted to lobby that Bush-street Theater meeting of bank depositors in his interest had been | & | passed between Sherman and Receiver | edness | Kahn protested from the bottom of his exhausted, but Attorney Shortridge dis- covered another one yesterday in the per- son of Harrison O. Jones, Hebbard's court stenographer. Jones attended the meet- ing, so he said, to get & shorthand report of the proceedings, but resented the insin- uation that he was there at his employer’s request. It was a case of disinterested- ness, pure and simple, that led him to 2 bankbook, femporarily leftin his posses- sion by a “fr#nd in Eogland.” This was about the way Jones told his story: “‘Who asked you to go there?” “No one.” “How did you getin?" “Ob, I borrowed a bankbook and went there.” “You went there to take down the pro- ceedings of gentlemen assembled in a private meeting?'’ “T thought it was a public meeting.” «If you thought it was a public meeting why did you borrow a passbook to gain | admittance?”’ “Well, I wasafriend of Judge Hebbard ?” “You Were not a bona fide depositor?”’ o “Did you tell Judge Hebbard you were oing?"” “I'told him I saw a wagon on the sireet | advertising the meeting.” “What time did you get the bankbook to work your way in on?” . “I think I took it. A young man ia Eng'and left one with me.” “You peddled passbooks to others for that meeting?'” 2 {es. 1think I gave one to‘Bob’ Fitz- gerald.” “What time did you arrive at the thea- ter?” “On, I was one of the first to gev there. I sat off to one side.” 5 & “Did you take any part in the meeting?” | “Oh, yes, I got excited enough to vote | several times.” “Vote! Whatright had you to vote?” “Well, simply as a holder of a pass- book.” Jones did not like the remark of Attor- ney Bnortridge that “many a man had got into trouble for attempting to do things with other men’s property.” Jones couid not recallif he had consulted with Receiver | Sheenan previous to the meeting. | It was Police Sergeant Jesse F. Cook | who took upon himself the task of escort- ing Hebbard through the frontdoors of | the theater despite the remonstrances of the doorkeeper. The candidate for the bench it seemed had doubts about the possibility of his reception atthe door of the depositors’ conferences, and he ac- | cordingly telepboned from his political beadguarters to tue Celifornia-street sta- tion for assistance. Whether it was a squad of police he requested or not was | not learned, but Cook, who was doing duty at the theater doors on that evening, was ordered by special messenger from | his lientenant to report to Hebbard at his | headquarters for duty. It was about 9 o’clock when the candidate and the police officer met and what jollowed, according to Cook, was in this way: ““Where did you meet Hebbard ?” | “In the restaurant under his political | headquarters.” | W | | here a bar there?” No; I think it was a bakery.” «The Judge preceded you into the thea- ter?” Yes. “You pushed the doorkeeper aside and passed the Judee in.” “I went in quickly and said to the door- keeper, *This 1s one of the Superior Court Judges—Judge Hebbard.” ” i *What business had you to speak and pass him in?"’ “Well, I regard him as my superior offi- | cer. Asa police officer Iam an officer of the court.’” He asked you to go to the theater with | mon “Yes. I would do the same for any other police officer.” ““Would you break into a house if a Su- perior Cour: Judge asked you?” | “Idi.n't break into the meeting. I went | in quietiy enough.” | | “Did you see a gang follow you in?” «I don't remem ber that I did.” “You say you didn’t break-into the meeti J “You knew that only those with pass- books were allowed in?"” “I was told tbat only those with pass- | books would be admitted.’” *Didn’t the doorkeeper ask Judge Heb- bard for a book!” “Yes."” d he present one?"” “You just pushed your way in—you ana { he?” “I did as he asked me—to escort him n.” There was more of this kind, and the police ofticer made way for C. E. Pal- | mer. secretary of ‘he bank. By way of a beginning Palmer declared that he was unable to discover in the bank records the correspondence that Sheehan concerning the former’s indebt- to toe institution. There were | other discrepancies in the bank records, according to Paimer. He told Attorney | Shortridge that there had been no item- | ized list of the assets since Sheehan had taken possession of the bank, neitber had the receiver offered any trial balance of his accounting 1o the court at the time of his aischarge, beyond a simple general ac- | count of the properiy that was then in his charge. Attorney Shortridge then offered as evidence the record of the special meet- ing of the stockholders held on July , 1894, and thereby stirred up Hebbard’s attorneys toa storm of protests. Judge Daingerfield inquired in what manner this record affected Judge Hebbard. Attorney Shortridge in reply related the court proceedings, bv which Hebbard had made James Alva Watt the bank’s attor- ney at Sheehan’s request. “Incidentally,” continued the attorney, ‘‘we wish to show the manner in which Sheeban and | Watt created a board of directors favora- ble to their own interests. We wish to show how this meeting was manipu'ated ; bow 3000 shares were not allowed to be voted. We wish to show that Watt and Sheehan allowed the Dr. Jenningson stock to be voted only afier they had got control of Mrs. Jenningson, and that they at that very time had an injunction in their pocket preventing any one else from using it if it was to be used against their inter- ests, on the ground that the stock was fraudulently issued, which was true.”” To all these pertinent facts Attorney heart. Judge Daingerfield finally ruled | that the evidence was not admissible inas- much as no definite proof was offered that Judge Hebbard was aware of the do- ings of the bauk directors or stockholders. | , fhen Attorney Shortridge attempled to get this evidence before the jurv by means of an_oral recital of the doings of the stockholders from the lips of Paimer. *‘Was the Jenningson stock voted?” he inquired of the bank secretary. An objection from Kahn and an adverse ruling from the court. ‘‘Has that stock been declared fraudu- lent and void ?"’ Again Kaln successfully with the court. “Do you know that an injunction was issued restraining that stock from being voted, if any one offered it antagonistic to Sheehan’s interests?” Kahn invoked gag law again. Short- ridge again offered the records of both the stockholders’ and directors’ meeting, but Kahn fought vigorously agains: letting the jury know what they contained, tothe ena that the court decided in his favor. Attorney H. Hutton told of a conversation he had with Judge Hebbard in the latter part of May, 1804, in which he complained of Receiver Sheehan’s talk- ingin the newspapers in & manner de- rogatory tothe bank’s interesis and the depositors’ committee. In one of these newspaper statements Sheehan had de- clared that his influence had been asked by the committee to effectan organization of the bank. Hutton had told Heboard that he thought Sheeban had be:ter at- tend to his business. The Judge revlied that be bad no control over Sheehan's tongue, and the incident ended at that, as they say in diplomacy. interceded | $1250 from Mrs. Simon, Private Detective John Gamage was called for and conld not bz found and Judge Hebbard himself was put on the swnd to eniighten the jury ot his employ- ment of Gamage during the campaign. His replies were shifty and elusive. He admitted that be knew Gamage, but did not “employ”’ him, or at least had never paid him anything for his services. Sub- sequently Hebbard admitted thatimme- | diately ‘after Attorney Shortridge had called the detec:ive’s name ss a witness he had ‘conversed in private with him in the corridor, but had not seen him since. Gamage’s interview with Benjamin Levy and other members of the depositors’ committee was done out of pure friend- ship for him, declared Hebbard. 15 Gamage one of your best friends?’ *'I consider him so.” “'Is Detective Curtin in your employ in this case ?” -‘{jmv\‘ara not paying him any money ?"’ No. “‘How was it he came to this court be- fore he was subpenaed 2" “Idon’t know, unless it was because of friendship for me.” He’s indicted by the United States Grand Jury ?” asked Attorney Shortridge. “Idon't know toat he is. I heard you tried to get him indicted.” “Who told you that?"’ Hebbard replied that it was “somebody, he conld not remember.”’ Attorney Shortridge challenged him to produce his informant, but Hebbard got behind his **Could not remember.’” Receiver John F. Sheehan had a short session on the witness-stand, but when- ever a leading question was put 4o him Hebbard’s attorneys threw themselves in the way of areply with all the vigor at their command. Evidently Sheehan is one of fortune's favorites and the good things of life come to him lika snow on a summer day. That$500a month job he fell into as receiver of the bank OPENING OF THE GINGERBREAD FETE Art, Merry - Making and Good Cheer Com- bined.

But cut of that chaos will rise the perfectly ordered Gingerbread Fete, to, bs inaugurated to- night and to continue ¢hrough the week for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital. e | continuous. This will be under the direc- tion of James Arctibald. G. H. Robinson and a nomber of club men will fizure as siage atfractions. Burbank Somers and Richard Hotaling are listed as “speilers.” All this is under the direction of Mrs, H. P. Miller. In the house the aftractions are no less notable. The rooms to the rizht of the entrance are dressed up first as the Orie; tal room and back of it as the Indian room. Here coffee will be served, and candy, while uuder the mystic influences of the Orient on t eone hand and of native Indians on the other the past_and future will be revealed by Janet Klink and Nora McNeal. The room back of this will be devoted to art treasures, and here Toby Rosenthal’s masterpiece and pictures by Kolbach and Diaz will be placed in special and artistic settings arranged by Harry Fonda. Apong the fitlings of the room will be an old and very handsome and costly chandelier. In the bazaar which is 10 occupy all the rooms on the other side of the hall the: will be all the infinite variely of attrac- tions that beiong to such a place.

The special meeting of the bank stock- holders held on July 5, 1864, resulted in the election of a board of directors of Sheehan and Wart's selection. Sheehan admitied the 3000 shares of stock issued to Dr. Jenningson in return for a note of $107,000 were ‘‘voted.” “That stock was afterward canceled, was it not, as fraudulently issued 7"’ “Yes, I believe so; but we voted it to get the McDonald directors out.” An attempt to get Sheeban to shed a little light on the manner in which he had settled a claim held by the Lower Kings River Reclamation District resuited in pad!ock tactics on the part of Hebbard’s attorney. Similar manuevers shut off any information concerning the way the KansasCity Real Estate Association got an extension of time on its indebtedness. A number of questions of like import met a similar fate, and the Marriott interests gave it up as a bad job. The case goes on this morning. A THIEVING DOMESTIC, | 1da Pelton Arrested and Admits Ste: ing Money From Different Hous For nearly a month detectives have beeq searching for Ida Pelton, a youny girl Who hes been making it a practice to rob her employers. Ida is only 19 years of age, but she graduated from the Magdalen Asylum re- | cently and started out on a life of thievery. Between two and thres months ago she procured employment in the family of John O'Dea, 720 Fourteenth street. She remained about six wecks, and one dav departed suddenly, taking with her $260 in coin and some trinkets. The case was reported 1o the poiice, and Captain Bohen set his detectives to work to find the girl and arrest her. No trace of her could be found. Sunday night Policeman Frank Riley learned that Ida was wanted, and last night he arrested | her in a house on Mission street. Sne was taken before Captain Bohen and acknowledged stealing the money and trinkets. She also acknowliedged stealing Leavenworth sireet, and $8 from Mrs. Silverton, Lyon street, where she had been employed for a few days. She was locked up in the “tanks” pend- ing further investigation. i SLASHED WITH A KNIFE 0ld John Hughes, a Hack-Driver, Resents Alleged Fun. Alexander McConachie, a hostlerat the Pacific Carriage Company's stables on Eighth street, was stabbed in the left arm yesterday morning at 5 o’clock by a hack- driver named John Hughes, whose horses he was caring for. Hughes isa man of about 60 years of age, and quite irritable. He hasqguarreled frequently with McConachie, who is young and inclined io levity at the old man’s ex- pense.

E Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty TV T Ty Ty T Ty T GELETT BURGESS IN 00D SKINS A Queer Dinner Given to Contributors of “The Lark.” The “Epilark” Follcws the Old Bird and Bears a New Message. Its Elitor Tells Wiy the Old Publi- cation Pursued Its Strange Policy. The Epilark has just made its ap- pearance, following close on the heels of the Lark, that odd bird whose departure from the field of local journalism recently startled the literary world. Itis said that the Epilark is to have as weird and untimely an ending as its pre- decessor that so suddenly departed through the summer sunset sky in the hour of its prime. Whether it, also, is to emulate the pheenix in causing some otber 9 bird to rise from its ashes is not an- ‘nounced. Simultaneously with the appearance of the Epilark, but whether in celebration of its birth or in sorrow for the dead Lark nobody exactly knows, the staff of the old publication wedt a-larking in Oakiand, where Mrs. Charles Webb How- ard gave them a dinner. All but Bruce Porier were there. There were songs be- fore.the soup and speeches before the roast, and before the halcyon time was over Gelett Burgess was bedecked in strange skins and crimson robes and pur- pie things—all in memory of his famous Purple Cow. But coming to_the Epilark, it may be enerally described as resembling the rk. It contains many good things. The following explanation by Gelett Bur’ gess is a conspicuous feature of the issue at hand: Had the Lark sought deliverately for s unique policy 1o exploit—a new field un- trampled by the ruck of the army of he peri- odicals—no fresher pastures could have been found than the optimism toward which it flew ingenuously and instinctively, feeling for the North. That it has traveled sieadinsly in this direc ion is its only reason for existence and its one claim to serious recognition. For it has been a decade of small things and minor poesy and the Lark was too amateurish an effort tostand for_much more than a sin- cerity of impuise. But, though small, it has been a positive protest-—not 1a the debased meaning of the word but in its original signifi- oance. It has protested the joy of lite, the gladuess of youth and love and the belief that these shall endure. To heve struck this mote month by month (0o matter if a little off the key at limes) is its apology for being. To have done 1t gayly with o native and unaffected spontaneity, is its hope forzremembrance. But the little spring that we have wattled overflows its margent and trickles down into the brook and joins the river, sweetening and caoling the eddies of the flood. Haply som: careless hand may break the rushes end a coveing the fount, cast ina spray of hobey- suckle and of mint to be borue down to bs where the stream broadens and flows smooth and quiet between the fields.
