Calvin Ward Campbell, who belongs to | @ respectable family in Oakiand, was ar- | rested vesterday by Detective Graham | wuile in the act of stealing a book from Cooper’s bookstore, on Market street, near Grant avenue. Graham progured a search warrant and found twenty books in Camnpbell’s room in the St. Nicholas Hotel, which he had stolen from Payot, Uph William Doxey'sstores.

O'Rourke asked Smith if he had any names to introduce and Soily replied that e kad one or two, but before naming any ot his selections he would like 10 hear from the Napoleon of managers. ““Wel!, then, Solly, old boy, I will name Gus Herget, Bob McArthur, George Green and Jack Welsh as my choice, said O'Rourke blandly. *How do you like them?’ | “iGreen suits me first class,” answered Smith. “I think he is a good, honest feliow, who will decide in favor of th best man. I had Tom Sharkey and Bill Delaney in view, but Green will do.” “All right, then, Solly, if you are satis- | fed George 1 will enter no objection,’d replied O'Rourke, with a sieh of relief | that this 1mportant part of the proceed- | iugs was arranged so easily. | 1o agreement the pugilists fight at 120 pounds.

I hope, though, that they will traat the sport fair'y, as the clubs have done { their utmost to conduct entertainments satisfactorily to the authorities and the patrons of the pastime.” - FOR A NEW OHARTER.

Federal Statutes Do Not Lay Down Any Procedure for It, a book, | Probability That the Federal Eight- ] Hour Law May Be Violated | by Corporations. John Kelso, man and coniractor, and John Kelso, president of ihe Jobn Keiso Company, are in the eyes of the law two different persons. Th-y cannot be served | with warrants, they cannot be imprisoned | for violating the Federal statutes; they cannot even be hauied into courtto answer | for violating the eight-hour law, even though they admit that both as a company | and as a man they violated willfully, de- liverately and with malice aforethought. | Last week John Kelso, the man and the contractor, was actually arrested for work- | ine his laborers on the postoilice site more | than eight hours per day. The lawyers hired by the man and the contractor se- | cured the dismissal of the case because | the iaw provided that the person to be | punished was the contractor or the sub- contractor. It was proved thatthecon- tractor was the San Francisco Bridge | Company and that the sub-contractor was the Jonn Kelso Company. Then United | States Commissioner Heacock issued a warrant for the arrest oi ths John Kelso Company, and yesterday United States Marshal Baldwin came into court and said tnat he did not care 1o serve the warraut, he having been advised that he would lay bimself liable to an action for damages. The warrant cailed for the arrest of the president of the company without giving his name and the Marshal did not know whio the presidert of the company was, R. Percy Wright, attoruey for Keiso the man and Kel-o the corporation, appeared | before the Commissioner and siated that Mr. Kelso would not desire to make vicarious stonement for tha company and that the Federal statutes did not contain any procedure for bringing a_corporation into court for a crimial offense. Then fizuratively and respectfully on behalf of his client he snapped his fingers of the | Federal court and the inoperative eight- hour law and* washed his bands of the whole affair. When Assistant United States Attorney Knight announced that he woul: adopt ibe procedure laid down in the Penal Code of tuis State, Mr. Wright smiled at | the ceiling and gave the spectators 1o un- derstand that the John Keiso Company would not be Lound to obey any sum- mons or process not provided in the Fed- eral statules. Mr. Knight said that as a last resort he would proceed under the Srtate code to bring the corporation before the Commis- er, and that if the company failed to appear he wouid ask to have the testi- mony for the Government heard and have the corporation held to answer befere Judge de Haven, where the legai prob- lems would be disposed ct. ‘!mus'r T LICENSES \ Collector Bonnet Is Following Up the French Restaurant- Keepers, | All-Night Resorts Where Liquors Are 1 Sold Under the License Paid for Selling Food. Woe stalks among the rotisseries and French restaurants where the seductive | smali bottle pops merrily in the early morning hours and toothiome birds are constantly on the iron. The ghost that has made the proprietors | quake is License Collector T. F. Bonnet, who has discovered that for vears past the midnight resorts have been doing a lignor business without paying the license that the Inw says must be turned into the city | treasury in such cases. The law, as the | Coliector interprets it, contemplates per- mitting eating-honses to servs their | patrons with wine with their mesis on the payment of a restaurant license, but it does not allow the setting of wines and uors in private rooms. r. Bonnet bas already notified the pro- | prietors of Marchand’s, the Poodle Dog, | Maison Riche, the Pup, Campi’s, Dzlmon- ico’s and the Maison St. Germain tnat they | must pay a liquor license of §21 per quar- | ter and he wiil send notices to the Maison Tortoni, Jack’s, the Nevada and Bergez that the license is due. Maichand’s, the Pendle Dog and the Maison St. Germain have appiied for hquor licenses, while others have consulted attorneys and state | that they will fight the proposition to the | bitter end.

STOLE A HORSE AND BUGGY. Warrant Gut for the Arrest of Kobert Dougherty, a Stableman. Perry Hildreth swore to a complant in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday for the arrest of Robert Dougherty on a charge of grand larceny. 6 Mrs. S. C. Hildreth, wife of Perry’s brother, the well-known owner of race- horses, kept a horse valued at $500 at the Ingleside racetrack for driving toa buggy, and Donguerty was employed to look after e horse. Saturday he drove off with the horse and bugey and Sunday he was traced to Los Guatos. His arrest is expected at any moment, as the wires have been put in operation along the route he was taking. TALKED OVER BOOKS, School Directors Discuss the Schedule of the Prin- cipals. Fothing Practical Accomplished and tho Teachers Will Be Heard. The Board of Education held a short Aession yesterday to discuss the much vexed school book question, but ad- journed to Wednesday evening without having accomplished any practical re- sult. The subject of supplementary readers for the primary grades was first taken up and Superintendent Webster stated that he already bad in his office requests from 2000 pup:ls for these readers, Director Head opposed introducing the books on the ground that it weul!l be a needless expen-e and the matter weut no furtherat the time, a motion to take the report of the principais up seriatim be- ing made and carried. Director Walier objected to a proposis tion to cut the second reader out of the work of the second grade, stating that be was in favor of increasing rather than de- creasing the work of the lower grades. Director Head again took a hand in the discussion, stating that be thought it would be better to have the principais who had arranged the schedule present to explain their selections. Director Waller replied that he did not care what the principals said, San Francisco was a year behind Alameda in the way of schcols and he wanted the matter remedied at the earliest possible opporiunity. Directors Waller and Head and the Superintendent got into a wordy war over the reasons wiy some of the bouks cn the ist were introsuced and President Bar- rington stopped the aiscussion by stating that Director H2ad’s motion to near the principals on the subject of the books bad been carried. = S Frank E.
