THE OPINION AFFECTS MANY MINES. Th: Constitutionality of the Caminetti Act Is Sustained by the Cir- cu't Court. United States Circuit Judge Ross yes- terday rendered a very important de- cision in the case of the Government t the North Bloomfield Gravel Min- any, which operates one of the largest hydraulic mines in the State was to enjoin the company from ying on hydraulic mining in Nevada y it bad complied with the i down passed by Congress. ant United States District Attorney bt, set forth that the company failed le with the Debris Commission a peti- a pe to tion for m not been taken to prevent the debris from The complaint further statea that the company failed to comply with section 10 of the act, which makes it necessary for the company to surrender to the United States the right and privilege to regulate by law as provided in the act the manner and method in which the debris resulting from the working of the mine or mines shall be restrained and what amount duced therelrom. The mining company denied that the bris from their plant impeded naviga- tion. ality of the act which imposed such con- ditions as set forth in the foregoing. Judge Ross in his decision upholds the constitutionality of the act of Congress and the right o1 the Debris Commission to regulate and control means of thisclass of mining. He cited several parallel cases, among them the Brooklyn bridze case, and in concinding his decision he sets forth consideration in the clean-cut language: 80 here Congress has created a commission er the direciion of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the chief of the engi- ers of thie army 1o ascertain whether tne io drauiic mines within the territory he Sacramento and San Joaquin s can be uperated by impounaing servoirs without injury to those ble waters; and il so the sct of Con- rmits thein 10 be operated in such ibed way a3 will prevent any such fi- nt ¢ commission have been ascertained and : extent and methods of the Work are pre: scribed the act of Congress prohibits the oper- ation of any mine by the hydraulic process within the territory drained by the Sacra- mento and San Josquin river systems from which any debris matter flows into those following in my opinion, is the true construction t, and 10 1t a8 thus corstrued I see no ional objection. It is 100 late now one to question the power on the part of Congress to declare that debris of any coar- acter, or other thing, constitutes an obstruc- tion 10 the navigable wate1s within its control and to prohibit the use of such waters or other thing. The power to preven: absolutely the use of such waters for the objectionable purposes necessarily includes the power io prescribe the terms and conditions upon which they may be so used. The provision of section 10 of the act, re- | quiring the surrender to tne United States of the rignt to regulate the manner iu which the debris resulting from the working of su mine or mines shall be resirained and what amount shall be procuced there rom, only constitutes one of the couditions 10 such use required by Congress. As Congress alteady had that power of regulation it needed no conveyance {rom the mine-owner o vest it. For tnis reason the insertion of that require- ment by Congress as & condition to_the grant. ing of & patent to mine by tne hydraulic pro- cess does not render the act 0bnoxious 1o any of the objections urged against it. A decree will be entered for the complainant as prayed for. Thus under the decision of Judge Ross | the injunction prayed for is granted and consequently the largest hydraulic sys- tem-in the State will be ciosed until such atime as the company decides to comply with the provisions of the law. This de- cision is regarded as one of the most im- portant rendered for years, it affects many millions of invested capital. 0'SULLIVAN’S FAREWELL, The Talented Barytone Appears at a Testimonial Concert Given by Representative Citizen Denis O'Suliivan came in lion and went out as one.

PONT LOBDS 14 LINE in Favor of Munici- Ownership of Water. Declares pal R>solutions Adopt:d Demandirg That Certain Richmond Streets R:main Open At a large and spirited meeting last night of the Point Lobos Improvement Club held at Crossthwait’s Hall and pre- sided over by George Fletcher, it was re- solved to oppose the petition of J. C. Jor- dan, owner of the Jordan Tract, now belore the Board of Supervisors, 10 close Penusylvania, Commonwealth and Michi- gan avenues. for the purpose of turning the Jordan Tract into recreation erounds. To that end & committee consisting of Luke Batties, R. M. Wood, L 8. Green, Phelix McHugh and James H. Dever were appointed, with fuil power to act. The question of opening up a driveway into Golden Gate Park from First avenue was delegated to James H. Dever, F. B. Gibson and J. C. Coggins, who were in- structed to work in conjunction with a similar committee appointed by the Pre- sidio Heights Club, H. F. Prien offered his resignation ss a delegate to the San Francisco Association of lmrro\'ement Clubs and Frank Gibson was elected in his place. A spirited discussion ensued regarding the City owning its own water works and the following resolutions were enthusi. astically adopted: Resolved, That it is the se; Lobos Improvement Club that the City and County of San Francisco should own its water works; and be it further Resolzed, That we instruct our delegates to the san Fraucisco Ass.ciation of Improve- ment Clubs to use their efforts 10 further this measure and to vote for ii. TWO0 JURORE CHALLENGED. Validity of the Grand Jury Is Ques- tioned by Dr. F. H. Stahle. The Grand Jury reported to Judge Beawell terday, presenting an indict- ment against Allan L. Altord for forgery. The latter is forgery in the San Quentin penitentiary. The new indictment is founded on the forgery of a drafi on New York cashed by Alford at the First National Bank in this City. Foreman Raphael Peixotfo announced that he was to leave for Europs to-day and asked to be excused from duty. T request was granted and General S. V Backus was appointed to fill the ancy. Judge Seawell stated he would discharge the jury next week if they were ready. The jurors filed into Judge Cook’s court for examination in connection with the case of Dr. Stahle, indictel by them last month. The validity of the panel has been questioned by Dr. Stahl; Challenges were i:ssuea in the cases of Jurors R. B. Kettridge and Arthur Piper, the first on the grouna that he was not on the assessment-roll and the second on the ground that he voted upon tne indict- ment witbout hearing the testimony. The hearing was postponed to a fature date to be set by the court for the purpose of producing the assessment-roll, now serving a term for | | plans of the late A. Page Brown, and he | gave 1t as his opinion that there was | nothing at all in the details that should contractors brought forth the retort from Mr. Percy: ““When architects write speci- 10 deal with.”” The contractor subsided | after promising to hasten matters. At this juncture Commissioner Chad- | bourne said he was resolved to have the | work on the new building completed in contract time, and also announced that he would insist upon Laving every contractor | and_ sub-contractor beiore the board to | explain their dilatoriness. The representative of the Pacific dge Company was tben called upon and apoio- gized for tne delay. He explained that the rock had not arrived on caused all the trouble. Hethen made the assertion that tor some time the company bad twenty-five men constantly at work. “That is suange,” interjected Ma jor Harney. 1 have been a constant visiior to the new depot and on many occasions I bave not seen a man at work.” Mr. MeCartly again insisted that it was only wuen there was no stone on hand that the work was stopped, and the mab_ ter was dropped. “Now,”” said Chadbourne after a con- | versation with Harney, ‘‘let us give them | a ehance. From what I can gather each contractor puts the blame for the delay on another’s shoulders. Then again they assert that the working hours are such | that on many a day they can accomplish little or nothing. Now I move that the board gives them a chance. Lat us put in | electric lights uil over the structure and let the contractors put on an extra gang |of men and see if that won't hurry up | matters.” Some of the other contractors were caliea upon to give their opinions on the night-work question, but were not in a | tendance. On the motion of Major H | ney the matter went over un 10 o’clocl | this morning, at which hour the discus- | sion will be resumed. The members of the commission are in no humor to be trified with, and any of the contractors or sub-contractors who have not a good excuse to offer will have a bad quar er of an hour. The iaimers and commission men were to have been present 1o discuss the erec- tion of the new fruit market. Notarepre- sentative was pieseni, so the discussion went over until to-day. The Commis- sioners have done everything in their power to accommodate the fruit men, but in spite of all their efforts and in spite of the desires of the farmers, the free market | seems to be as far off as ever. Sl g s, VESSELS PLUNDERED. The Pllot Boat America and Bark | Sonoma Are Broken ' Into. | Captain (“Little””) Jordan of the pilot | boat America was an angry man yester- | day. When he reached the boat, which is | being repaired at Main-street wharf, he found water-front thieves had rifled the cabin. They got away with a fine pair of marine glasses and a pair of trousers. He does not miss the pantaloons very much, | but he does miss the $11 that was in the ]n,;m.h-nd pocket. The same gang of | pickpockets attempted to break into the | cabin of the bark Sonoma, but the cap- | tain awoke and they at cnce dec amped. | REighteen days ago the schooner Robert | Lewers and the barkentine Newsboy | sailed within a few hours of each other | from Honolulu for the port of San Francisco. There was said to be a bet of $500 on the race, and whether that is so or | not considerable money will change hands n this City on the result. The Robert Lewers got in early yesterday and the ewsboy followed her in during the after- | noon. It wa. an excitirg contest, as both vessels were in company over the entire 2000-mile course, and the Lewers only beat the barkentine by six hours. Tne American ship_Benjamin Sewell, from Shanghai for New York, was re- ported at the Merchants' Exchange yes- terday as having put into Singapore in distress. Her rudder was sprung, the windlass sirained and there were other minor demages the repairing of which would detain her some time. The British ship Pass of Balmaha, which was caught in a heavy gale off the Horn and had to put into Port Stanley, has been dumaged more than at first sup. posed, Her oatgo, for Victoria, B.

They Have Made and Circulated Many Thbousands of Dollars. James F. Rodgers, William Stark, Al fred Williams and Arthur Gi- roy Are Their Names. One of the most clever vieces of detec- tive work that have been performed in Harris Jr. of the United States secret ser- vice and T. B. Gibson of the Police De- partment. These vigilant officers, after working day and night for nearly two | weeks, have landed the following coun- | terfeiters and their accomplices in jail: James F. Rodgers, William Stark (com- monly called “Doc’”), Alfred Williams | (known as “Babe”) and Arthur Gilroy. | Kittie Rodgers, a sister of James Rogers, | was also arrested yesterday, but was re- | leased dn her own recognizance. ‘, The story of the manner in which the | criminals were run down savors of a | French detective tale, for the outlaws in | this case are as clever as auy with whom the officers have ever come in contact, this State was the arrest of the Rodgers- | Stark gang of coin counterfeiters by N. R. | | | particularly as they are all young people. | For over a year large quantities of spuri- ous $5 pieces have been appearing in pubiic, principally at the racetracks and other places we.e; ings and money changes hanas rapidly. The first large operations on the race tracks were made in the latter part of last year. Simultaneously large lots of these coins appeared in Sacramento, Los Angeles, Portland, Fresno, and even at Carson, Nev., at the time of the big fight. Ail this | time the secret service officers and Pink- erton’s men were at work endeavoring to locate the counterfeiters, but it was not until about two weeks ago that the trne lead was obtained. tip that “*Doc” Stark, who ts 2 was one of the crowd, and he soon located that worthy in the California State House on Fourth and Howard streets. Stark is an expert chemist, machinist and_ plater. Harris hed Stark shadowed and soon | learned that he was operating with young Rodgers, who lived with his father at 6 Cheisea street, near Seventh and Harrison streets. Oa May, 1893, F. W. Rodgers, the | father, and nearly the whole familv were arrested for counterleiting 5and 25 cent | pieces, but they pleaded poverty and the United States Grand Jury refused to 1n- dict them and raised over $50 for their re- liefand found good positions for all who were able to work. The same shadows also found that Babe { Williams, who comes from Portland, Or., |and is about 20 years old, and Arthur Gilroy, who is years old, and hails from Chicago, were also in the gang. Gil roy has a wife and child, the latter three years old. The whole crowd made a pre- | tense of being ‘‘touts” at the racetracks, | but their real business was getting rid of bad money. The publication of the fact that a large quantity of lead $5 piec:s had been passed at the butchers’ picnic caused the coun- terfeiters to become alarmed before the officers were ready to gather them 1n, and several left town in great haste. Harris ‘and Officer Gibson arrested Stark before | he could get away. The search then be- | gan for the others—Rodgers, Williams and Gilroy. Facts havesince come tolight that show that even among thieves there is none too much honor, for the friends and relatives of the fugilives began a dog-eat-dog game. Kittie Rodgers, who is only 17 years oid, endeavored to get Mrs. Gilroy to take the | molds, meliing-pots, etc., to her room on | Market street, evidently for the purpose | of betraying the little woman to the offi- | cers, but she was too sharp for them. She reiused to become mixed up in the case. In fact the officers believe that she was ignorant of her husband’s operations until he fled. Hearing from ihe Rodgers | that the officers were after him she fled to | a room on O’Farrell streer, aft>r hiding ber husband’s pictures and tearing up all correspondence, depositing the refuse in the stove. | Harris and Gibson, however, raided the | vacant room, found the pictures and gathered up the scraps of paper. In the | latter were nieces of a telezram irom Sac- | ramento. Upon pasting it togetner it | read: “Come Lere at onc2. Arthur.” She did not go, but sent a personal triend to warn her husband, and this per- son and the officers went on the same train on the following morning, the offi- cers following the messeneer. | Late that night the latter went out on Yolo bridge, it seems to meet Gilroy, | Williams and Rodgers. Aftera hot fight with Williams and Gilroy they were ar- rested veral citizens supposed that 1t was a case of hold-up in the dark and in- terfered, nearly effecting the counterfeit- ers’ escape. Rodgers heard of the arrest and cunningly “‘backed track” to San Francisco, where he went into_hiding in the house of a relative named Wright on Hunt and Natoma streets, whence he could easily escape thould the officers learn of his whereabouts. Daring the lasttwo days Kistie Rodgers, while pretending to be assisung the offi- cers, was keeping Rodgers informed of all that she could learn. The officers sus- pected this and foliowed her. Rodgers became scared and left the house yester- day, sending his relativa ahead. He was for once caught napping and the officers soon had the cuffs on his wriste. Kittie was the nex: placea under arrest for as- sisting in Liding the counterf:iters’ plant, The discovery of the plant is a story in itself.

It con'~incd clothes whien Ki i took to her | rother who was then biding. Curw.siy vprompted the your« man to examine the stuff that remained in the valise. He was almost paralyzed upon finding counterferrers’ molds, annoids, lead, tin and about $80 in countertzit coins. He re- alized at ounce that be was likely to be sacrificed by his best girl in order to save her brother, so he set to work to get nid of the stuff. He got a small boy to take the valise and dispose of the contents accord- ing to his directions. Some of the molds were thrown by the lad into a marble. yard on Golden Gate avenue. More molds, Zncand plating apparatus were thrown into the mannole on the corner of Taylor sireet. Other stuff was put down a manhole on Eddy street and several dishes and plaster of paris were hurled intoa lot between Eddy and Ellis streets, near the Tivoli. About $75 of counterfeit money was put into the manhole on Geary and Powell streets. All this time the boy was followed by the young man to see that it was prop- erly done. Superintendent of Streets Am- brose helped the officers by having his men clean out the manholes stated and all the stuff was recovered and the young man and the innocent boy were apprehended for examination. A searcn was then made of th e Rodgers house at 6 Chelsea street, where the offi- cers found a large lot of more ineriminat- ing evidence. In fact they founa that young Rodgers used the family kitchen for manufacturing the counterfeit. Under the sink was found a lot of chemicals; on the top of the cupboard alot of base metal—bismuth, tin, lead, antimony, etc.—while deep in the basemen* was hid- den a lot of molds, and under the flower- pots in the garden was the ladle. In other words the two officers, by working day and nignt, have made six ar- rests and secnred all of the evidence of the counterfeiters. They have found that the work of counterfeiting was performed by young Roberts, who made the money of the base metals, while Stark copper and gold plated the spurious coins and put on the finishing touches. The other two, Gilroy and Williams, were the princips! operators in putting the bad money in circulation. There are many others engaged in cir- culating the stuff all over the State. The cases of several were called before United States Commissioner Heacock yes- terday and continued fur examination. BALBOA BENEFIT.

XEW TO-DAY. MRS. PETERSON'S STORY. I have suffered with womb trouble over fteen years. Ihadinflammation, enlargement and displacement of the womb. The doctor wanted me to take treat- ments, but I had just begun taking Mrs. Pinkham's Compound, and my husband Said I had better wait and see how much good that 2 would do me. I was so sick when I began with her medicine, I could hardly be on my feet. I had the backache con- stantly, also headache, and was sodizzy. Ihad heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times choking me. I could not walk around and I could not lie down, for then my heart would beat 3o fast I would feel as though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. I was so weak I could not do anything. I have now taken several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink- ham’s medicine had not helped me.— Mrs. Josepn PETERSON, 5.3 East St., Warren.
