Judge Cook Will Decide Upon the | Right of Police Magistrates to Accept Bail Bonds. | 'Whether or not one Police Judge may accept bonds for the release of a pris- oner, the amount of the bonds required having been fixed by another, will | probably be decided by Judge Cook to- day. The matter will be decided in the case of Sid Kellett, under sentence im- posed by Judge Low of a year's im- | prisonment in the County Jail for car- rying burglar tools and concealed weapons. Kellett was up before Judge Cook yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus, it being alleged that he is at the pres- | ent time illegally confined in prison. After Kellett's conviction Judge Low | fixed his bonds pending the outcome of his appeal to the Supreme Court at 500. During Judge Low’'s absence from the city Judge Campbell accepted a bond in that amount, but the Sheriff refused to release the prisoner on the bond, as he said Judge Low requested him not to release Kellett except on his order. In the proceedings before Judge Cook vesterday Judge Campbell held that the Police Court has four Judges, either of whom is competent to accept bonds when the amount has been set by another. Judge Low, in opposition, ited sections of the Political Code which authorized all Police Judges to | accept bonds prior to conviction, but limited the power to the magistrate who rendered the judgment after con- viction. At this point in the proceedings a continuance was taken in the case to | give the attorneys representing Kellett an opportunity to procure a copy of the act creating the Police Courts. In the meantime Kellett will remain in Jjail and give the matter a little thought himself, CHURCH EDICTS TIAT ARE I AL 1 Rights and Powers of Ecclesi- | astical Tribunals Judicially ‘; Defined. | | Important Ruling in the Los Angeles Presbyterian Church Case. The State Supreme Court, in an opinion delivered yesterday, held that the decisions of an ecclesiastical tri- bunal of a church are supreme. This was in the case of a church difficulty in the southern part of the State. The First Presbyteyian Church of Los Angeles was composed of about . 800 members and was incorporated. It owned property to the value of about $50,000, which was sold, the purpose being to purchase another site and erect another place for worship. The trustees selected a site, which, while favored by the majority, was not de- sired by the minority. The matter was referred to the presbytery, which, after hearing both sides, by resolution de- clared that the First Presbyterian church be divided into two organiza- tions, the one containing the minority to be called the Central Presbyterian church and the one with the majority as the Westminster Presbyterian church. The records of the First Presbyterian church were awarded to tminster Presbyterian church. The presbytery further ordered a com- mission of five to apportion the funds of the disorganized First church, and the five found that 369 members of the old body went to the Central and 422 to the Westminster body, and the funds were apportioned upon this ba The Central church recognized the action of the presbytery, but the trustees of the old First and their fc lTow repudiated the action of that body and refused to pay any of the funds in question over to the Central church, whereupon legal action was begun by N. L. Wheelock and B. F. Henderson on behalf of themselves and the other members of the Central church. One of the points in the de- fense was that the First Presbyterian church was ‘incorporated under the laws of the State and the Central was not; also that the presbytery had no power to disrupt the church and divide its money, only courts having the latter power; and last, that the complaint was improper, inasmuch as the com- plainants and defendants should .all be | named. These objections were In the demurrer which was sustained by the | lower court, which order was over- | ruled by the higher tribunal. —_————————— Labor and the Charter.

The Mayor Wanted Walsh to | Remain as Court Reporter. A Little Note of Explanation That, However, Failed to Ex- plain. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, Dec. 30. “Hon. F. V. Wood—Dear Si In view of the fact that there are several important cases now in the Police Court in which the evidence has been heard, or practically heard, by Judge Allen, I have decided to revoke your appointment as Police Judge for the present. Hoping that my action may meet with your approval, I remain, yours very truly, W. R. THOMAS, Mayor.” | Judge Wood received the above ex- | planation, which does not explain, this afternoon, and, although he partly expected it, the news was a sur- | prise to the general public. About two | weeks ago Mayor Thomas gave notice | formally that on the first of the year there would be a change in the Police Court and that Justice Wood would succeed Judge Allen. It was expected that the change would be made as soon as the Mayor took office last April, but it was not. Now comes the announcement that the change is again called off. Behind it all is a story of a dispute over patronage. A few days ago Mayor Thomas met Judge Wood and told him that after he assumed his duties as Police Judge | on January 1 he (Thomas) would like | Wood to retain Phil Walsh, the court | stenographer. Wood declined to do | this on the ground that should he do | so the genéral public would vote him | | an idiot. The Mayor asked that | | Walsh be retained for a few months, at least, but Wood also declined this. | Some more was sald at the inter- view that neither party will speak | | about, but the purport of it has leaked out. Wood and Walsh have been at swords’ points for over two years. Some time ago Walsh published a cir- cular, in which he charged Wood with mixing religion and politics, and of be- ing opposed to him (Walsh) because he was a Catholic. The circular was very plain in its lJanguage and Wood has not forgotten it. This was re- ferred to at the interview, and noth- ing more was said until Wood received the little note to-day. Judge Wood said he did not care to discuss the matter to-night. He ad- mitted that the Mayor had asked him to appoint Walsh and he had declined. ARE AFTER THEIR MONEY. Stockholders of the Alaska Im- provement Company Want to | Dissolve the Corporation. A suit entitled W. J. Gray, Thomas Pollard, Bartlett Doe, B. H. Hanson, B. H. Madison, M. J. Madison, Martin Madison, E. M. Stockeby, N. S. Thomp- son, James Madison and the Tallant Banking Company against H. J. Hart- ing, J. M. Eva, Samuel J. Eva and the Alaska Improvement Company, which presents another complication in the | Alaska salmon fisheries litigation, was filed in the Superior Court Wednesday. .The plaintiffs in the action petition the court for an injunction against the Alaska Improvement Company, the de- | fendants constituting*a majority of the board of directors of that organization, to prevent it from transacting certain business they allege would injure their interests. In their pleadings the plaintiffs refer to the fact that the Alaska Improve- ment Company has acquired the prop- | | erty of the Alaska Packers' Association and that owing to the Yact considerable contentionhas arisen. At aspecialmeet- | | ing of stockholders, held on the 10th | | ult,, it was resolved by a vote of 24,- | 340 shares of stock to dissolve the cor- | | poration. Legal steps to disorganize the company were taken but the disso- | | lution was not consummated. On the 2nd inst., the defendants in the present action, who own 12,699 shares of the capital stock of 25,000 shares of the Alaska Improvement | Company were elected members of the | board of directors, and at a meeting held immediately after their election, they constituting a majority of the board, passed a resolution ordering the dissolution proceedings to be discon- tinued. | This action the plaintiffs allege was | dishonest and was taken with the in- tention of hindering the interests of | the corporation and of preventing the collection of its claims against H. J. Barting and James Eva's estate, amounting to about $100,000. In conse- quence, in the action filed vesterda: the court is prayed to issue.a perman ent injunction restraiming the defend- ants from interfering with the dissolu- tion of the Alaska Improvement Com- pany as the minority of the stockhold- ers wish to gain possession of their money invested in the corporation. —_————— HER BEQUEST TOO SMALL. Beatrix Susan Shaen Contests Her Father's Will. Beatrix Susan Shaen, a daughter of Michael Scholl, who died in this city on the 17th of last September, leaving an estate valued at over $60,000, is dis- satisfied with a bequest of $5 and has filed a contest to prevent the last will of her father being admitted to pro- bate. The contestant alleges that the win was procured through undue influence exerted over her father by her sisters, Emma Mary Schwerin and Elizabeth Madison, and her brother, Henry Scholl, to whom the bulk of the estate was bequeathed. ——— et VUCANOVICH GOT MAD. He Was Refused a Warrant for the Arrest of Reuben H. Lloyd. Peter L. Vucanovich applied to As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney Mann of Judge Campbell's court yesterday for a warrant for the arrest of Reuben H. Lloyd, the well-known attorney, on the charge of battery. He said he used to be a partner in the firm of J. Ivancovich Co., and after the dissolution of the partnership Ivancovich slandered him. He engaged Attorney Lloyd to bring suit against Ivancovich for slander, but while it was pending Ivancovich died. . * That ended the suit, but Vucanovich | thoroughly understand that the fish | siste cannot understand it that way, and since then he has been annoying At- torney Lloyd by calling at his office and raising a disturbance. He has also been abusing Lloyd to other attorneys. The last time he called at Lloyd’s office he was thrown out. Mann refused to give him the war- rant, and he got mad and raised such a disturbance that Mann threatened to throw him out. Then he went and complained to Chief Lees, but got no satisfaction. e BLIND MAN ROBBED. Unfeeling Cofi:ct of Dennis Gal- lagher, a Newsboy. Robert Lowry, a blind man who ped- dles pencils for a living, was robbed by | Dennis Gallagher, a newsboy, on Polk street, between Sutter and Post, Wed- nesday afternoon, and yesterday Low- ry swore to a complaint in Judge Campbell's court charging Dennis with the crime, which was made petty lar- ceny, owing to his youth. Lowry was approached by Dennis, who wanted to buy a pencil. Lowry handed him one and Dennis said: “T'll drop the nickel in your pocket.” Den- nis put his hand far down in the pocket, but Lowry did not suspect anything wrong and did not miss 55 cents that was in his pocket till he boarded a car and feit for the nickel to pay his fare. He was led off the car and a shoeblack told him he saw Den- nis going into his pocket. The shoeblack knew where Dennis lived, at 1127 Walnut avenue, and Low- ry went there. Dennis’ father gruf- fly told Lowry that he was not respon- sible for the acts of his son. —_———————— FERRY DEPCl MARBLE. The San Francisco Building Trades Council to Appear Before the Harbor Commissioners, At a meeting of the San Francisco Building Council last night the ques- tion of supplying marble for the ferry building came up for discussion. It was stated that the sub-contractor had figured on letting the contract for the marble to an Eastern scab factory. To circumvent this and have the work and material done in this State a com- mittee consisiting of Wiliam Woods, C. Meanwell, J. W, Rose, J. T. McCann, and W. Hoy was appointed to wait on the Harbor Commissioners and urge the justice of retaining the material and labor in this State. Laber Commissioner Fitzgerald, who was present at the meeting, promised to render all the assistance in his power to the committee. FISH LAW VIOLATED. Deputy Commissioners Three Nets on the Rus- sian River. Deputy Fish Commissioners Davis and Lowe, hearing that the bar at the mouth of Russian River was opened on Monday last and that schools of steelheads were passing in from the | ocean, concluded their services would be needed in that- section of the | country and on Tuesday morning they left for Duncans Mills.

Detectives Gibson and Wren arrested | Wednesday a Japanese named Ngai | Tishu and charged him with complic- | igy in the murder of Mary Castillo, | who was shot and killed last Sunday night in a lodging-hquse at 901 Sacra- mento street. Shortly after the shoot- ing Tishu, it is claimed, was seen run- ning from the house, followed by the | murderer. The prisoner was coatless | and hatless. He carried his coat on his | arm, and as he rushed from the house he shouted to th& murderer to follow | him. They ran up Sacramento street and disappeared along Prospect place. The two men were seen leaving the | house by a boy, whose name the police refuse to divulge. He claims that as | they dashed along the street, and as they entered Prospect place, the mur- derer passed a revolver to his compan- | ion, lodging-house. | After listening to the boy's story the | detectives decided to arrest Tishu. After considerable trouble they located him in a lodging-house on Dupont | street last night and at once placed him under arrest. They took him to | the City Prison and locked him up in | the tanks. | The detectives are convinced that the prisoner not only knows the where- abouts of the murderer, but assisted | him in getting away. that he advised the assassin to shoot | his unfortunate victim. Tishu roomed in the same house with | the murderer. They were frequently | seen together and seemed to be on very friendly terms. The day before the shooting Tishu, it is claimed, informed the murderer that Mrs. Castillo was unfaithful to him and advised him to | 3 kill her, He will be held pending an | investigation. g The body of Mary Castillo was taken from the Morgue Tuesday by her brother-in-law, George W. Brosamle, | and her sister to Watsonville, where | it was interred yesterday. | Thursday morning Mr.and Mrs. Bros- | amle called upon Chief Lees in re-| sponse to a dispatch sent by the Chief | to the dead girl's mother in Watson- | ville. Detective Anthony was detailed | | to take them to the Morgue, and Mrs. | Brosamle’s grief when she saw the | dead body of her sister was painful to witness. She obtained possession of her dead sister’s ring and clothing and later she and her husband left with | the body for Watsonville. | Every effort af the police to find the | murderer has so far failed. Tuesday | night Detectives Ed Gibson and Wren were notified that a Japanese answer- | ing his description had been arrested | at Niles by Constable Bernard. They | took the late train for Niles, but were | disappointed in not finding the mur- | derer. The Japanese under arrest | proved to be a deserter from the Japanese man-of-war, which was here | about two years ago. | A _complaint was sworn to yesterday | by Detective Gibson before Judge Low | charging Tauchi with the murder, so that the warrant for his arrest could | be in readines: | | | THE REGULAR | ARMY NOTES Some Talk of a Half Mile Bridge | on the Presidio Reser- vation. The Old Guardhouse Near Fort Point New Trumpet Call for | Artillery. During the holiday week which com- | menced yesterday there will not be | anything to engage the attention of | the officers and men at the military posts in the vicinity except that which is absolutely necessary, but af- ter the week of rest all will be bustle and activity again. | In traversing the space from the! quarters at the Presidio to the forti- | fications near old Fort Winfield Scott, | the men who belong ta the foot bat- | teries, and for that matter all who ! have business there, must cross a deep hollow, descending a long flight | of stairs on one side and ascending | another on the other side. To make the line a more direct one, it is pro- | A¢ posed to bridge the hollow..that is if | ra an appropriation can be secured for | that purpose. If this is done then | there will be*an added attractiononthe reservation in the shape of a bridge nearly half a mile in lengti. One of the curiosities on the reser- vation at this time is the old guard- house on the flat opposite the quar- ters that were occupied at the time that Fort Winfield Scott was garri- soned. It Is a two-story frame struc- ture In which men in the early days were imprisoned for infractions of mil- | itary rules. 1t is a remarkable struc- ture in this that it is a type of the ar- chitecture of the middle fifties in San Francisco. Now it is no longer used for military purposes, but it is occu- pied by chickens for g roosting place. Notice has been received here that the drab-colored tent for the army has been formally adopted and that the change in color will be extended to the legzings worn by enlisted men, to all canvas clothing and equipage and will correspond to the blanket bag is- sued by the ordnance department. The new style of shoes which has been tested for several months with a view to adopt the same, to super- sede the present brogans issued to the enlisted men, is said to be a decided improvement on the ones now i use, They are praised for appearance, com- fort and_ durability. Quartermaster- General Weeks has recommended the adoption of the new type of shoes. A new call has been added to the trumpet calls for the artiilery. It is to be used whenever it is desired to march in route step or route order.
