THE FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1898. HOT WORDS EXCHANGED [N COURT Attorney James H. Long Starts Out on the Warpath. He Causes an Exciting Scene in Judge Low’s Courtroom. Refers to Prosecutor Charles | A. Reynolds as a Con- temptible Cur. LONGICALLED A LOW LIAR. | The Defense of Poolroom Men the | Cause of the Charge and the | Counter Charge. Attorney James H. Long was on the warpath yesterday morning. About 11 o'clock he egtered Judge Low's court room and after waiting in a state of suppressed excitement till a case was | disposed of he rose and said he had a question of privilege to bring to the notice of the Judge. o “I have it on reliable authority,” said Long, “that that contemptible cur there (pointing with his finger at Prosecuting Attorney Reynolds) has been circulat- | ing reports among my clients that you are antagonistic to me and that it is impossible for me to get an acquittal | in your court. I want to ask your| Honor If there is any truth in the state- | ment.”" Before the Judge could reply Rey- nolds said hotly: - “You are a low, dirty | liar!” | The. two stood glaring at each other | and -hostilities were momentarily . ex- pected when the Judge rapped for or- | der, and, addressing Long, said that he had no ill feeling against him had never expressed uny. He had al- | did not object to a “mixup.” and | ; | ways found him courteous and attcn-{ tive to his cases and never had any reason to complain of his conduct. | Long expressed himself as satisfied | and that ended the scené in court. Long | afterward d that Reynolds had gone to a number of poolroom men and told them not to employ him, as Judge Low had it in for him and there was no chance of getting an acquittal. He instanced the case of ex-Senator Dunn of Stevenson street. “I défended Dunn several days ago,” said ‘Long, “and the jury disagreed. Reynolds went to Dunn and told him that there was no use in emploving me and suggested that his friend Hawkins of Lennon & Hawkins should get case and an. acquittal- would follow. the | The result was that Hawkins was em- | ployed and when the case was again tried last Friday the jury acquitted the | defendant. Hawkins was permitted to ask the - witn s - questions- which Reynolds objected .to when asked by e, and I have the stenographic re- port to prove it. “I am not going to say wherein his animus toward me lies, but some people would likeé to get three-thirds of your fee. That is all L care to say, but any one can draw his own inference. Why, Reynolds ‘is_a co ant frequenter of the poolrooms and is one of their best customer: Reynolds had a different story to tell. He sald that he learned that Long had gone to several pool-sellers -and told them that if they would engage him at a salary of $20 a week each ‘he could protect them from conviction in Judge Low's court, as he had Reynolds with him and would share the fees with him. “As soon as I heard this;,” said Rey- nolds, “I went to Harry Corbett and other pool men and told them that Long was a liar and advised them to have nothing to do with him. I did this to protect myself. I suppose Long imagined that his proposition would not reach my ears and he would have a comfortable drawdown from -the -sellers. T deny his assertion that I went to ex-Senator Dunn and made the sugges- tion that he should employ Hawkins. Hawkins is a personal friend of Duna and that is the reason that he was em- ployed after Long had failed to get an acquittal. His statement that I al- lowed Hawkins to ask questions of the witnesses that I objected to in his case is equally untrue. His assertion that I am a regular frequenter of the pool- rooms is also untrue. I have not vis- ited a poolroom this year for the pur- pose of betting on the races. The pub- lic can judge between Long and my- self. My charges against him can be substantiated by any of the poolroom men.”” ADVERTISEMENTS. SENT FREE TO MEN The State Medical Institute Discovers a Remarkable Remedy for Lost Vigor. ARE SENDING FREE A TRIAL PACKAGE TO ALL WHO WRITE. Free samples of a most remarkable remady are being distributed by the State Medical Institute, Fort Wayne, Ind. It cured so many men who had battled for years against the mental and physical guffering of lost manhood that the insti- tute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a.home treatment and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakness resultin, from youthful folly, premature loss o strength and memory, weak back, varico- cele, or emaciation of parts can now cure themselves at home. The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location giving strength and development just where it is needed. It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of misuse of the natural functions and has been an absolute suc- cess in all cases. A request to the State "Medical Institute, 193 First National Bank Building, Fort Wayne, Ind., stating that you desire one of their free trial pack- ages will be complied with. The institute is desirous of regching that great class of men who are unable to leave home to be treated and the free sample will en- able them to see how easy it is to be cured of sexual weakness when the proper remedies are employed. The in- stitute makes no restrictions. Any. man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that its reciplent need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity.

The Interstate Coursing Club, D. Shannon, president, will hold one of the largest open meetings of the year next Saturday and Sunday at Ingleside Coursing Park. LOST HER WIG IN THE SKIRMISH Mollie Bowen’s Futile Attempt to Whip Two Women. the club, held last evening at Pythian Hall, it w decided to give $600, which will be divided respectively between the old and young dogs, as follows: Five hundred dollars for the old dog stake and $100 for the young dog or puppy stake. The club fnvestigated charges that were pending against certain leashmen, who were accused of unsportsmanlike conduct, and decided to disqualify the dog “Bogus,” the property of A. Van- derberg, from running at Ingleside Park in future. Dr. Delhaney and his dogs were also disqualified, and Welsh, of Port Costa, will be notifled that he cannot, in future, enter a dog or dogs for meetings held at Ingleside Park. Mr. Donnovan, the proprietor of the park, emphatically states that under no consideration will he show any mercy or favor to the owners of dogs that are “doctored” for the purpose of winning money by fraudulent means. The Interstate Club, with 1. F. Hal- ton, president, will hold its this evening, and a purse of $500 will be hung up for the big meetings, which will be held at the Union Coursing Park on Saturday and Sunday. E. J. Bull, judge; R.

Arrangements were made for holding a mass meeting at Maennerbund Hall next Sunday, to which the Mayor, Board of Su- pervisors, the Board of Health and the Superintendent of Streets will be invited. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss various plans for the improvement of the Mission, such as moving the City and County Hospital and the Pesthouse, the extension of Folsom street, the improving of Bernal Park and the filling of the swamps. The meeting last night was an enthusi- astic one and the members expect to ac- complish great results b of the league. \ ————— The Social Democracy. The next instant hats and hair were fiving in all direction. One of the white -women had on a blonde. wig, which was torn from her head and hurled in the gutter. Realizing they were ‘“‘up against. it,”” as one of them afterward remarked, the white women, without waiting to pick up their hats, took to their heels, leaving their col- ored sisters masters of the situation. “You missed de chance of ver life,” remarked one of the dark Amazons to her companion. “Why didn’t yer put it on her solar plexus?’ “I had ‘de one wid de wig goin’, and would have put her out de next punch if dey didn’t get next and skip out.” the Democracy, held in Scott Hall evening, was addressed by A.

To-day, as the city clocks chime the noon hour, Colonel Jefferson E. Doo- little will claim Miss Rebecca Jennings for his wife. The bride to be is one of the most popular belles in the select circles in which she moves. She is dainty, petite and highly accomplished. She excels in music and is the fortunate possessor of an exquisite voice, besides being a magnificent performer Colonel J. E. Doolittle is a prominent mining operator and one of the best known club men of San Francisco. His business interests extend all over the coast States and Territories. Mr. Doolittle has always taken a keen interest in the National Guard, and when ex-Governor Markham or- ganized his military stuif he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel and aid de .camp, and was retained in that position by Governor Budd. Dr. Mackenzie is to speak the words that will make the happy couple one, and only the reiatives and imme.iate friends will be present at the ceremony. The bride will b~ httended by Miss Marion Foster, who will act as maid of honor, and Adolph Spreckels is to be best man. The bride will wear a dainty gown of white silk, with overdress of white gauze, sprinkied with tiny forget-me-nots. Miss Foster=will be attired in white organdie over pink silk. The dec- orations of the home are to be all in pink, and the arbor in which the binding words will be spoken will be composed of pink fruit blossoms. Af- _ter the ceremony there is to be an elaborate bridal breakfast, after which the bride and groom are to leave for an extended northern tour. | commission by in the event of the specifications con- taining any objectionable clauses,” in- terrupted ~ Attorney Cope, who with Matt L Suilivan represents the Par- | affine Paint Company. | “Such a course is entlrely satisfac- | interpose | toPy to the cemmiseion,” answered Ford. \ An order authorizing the Harbor | Commissioners to advertise for bids for | the necessary work at Spear street | wharf was drawn up by Attorney Ford | | and received the approving signature of Judge Belcher. | Commissioner Harney was then re- | called to the witness stand for further | cross-examination. He testifled that | he had paid considerable attention to | { the matter of creosoting piles and had | | from his study arrived at the conclu- | | sion that it was the best process to be | used for the preservation of timber. | He said that he had no knowledge of | | a letter having been written to the| the Parafline Paint Company guaranteeing that piles pre- pared by it would last for at least five years and be kept in proper condition. The letter had been written prior to his taking office as a Commissioner. Commissioner Chadbourne, whose term of office will expire on the 13th inst., was questioned at length concern- | ing the contracts aworded the S.‘E.| Slade Lumber Company. He said that“ he voted for the awarding of the con- | tract to the company because he thought the offer made was the best received by the commission. He ad- mitted knowing William Inglis, hav- ing been introduced to him by Com- misioner Colnon. He also knew D. H. Bibb, but was not allowed .to go into the detalls of conversations had with either Inglis or Bibb, on the ground that such matters had no bearing on the case at issue. “What motives have governed you in all your acts as a Harbor Commission- er?” asked Attorney Stratton. “The best of motives,” replied the witness. “I'have always exercised the same care in the matter of awarding of contracts and the employing of clerks and other help as any careful business man would do in looking after his own business.” E. L. Colnon, president of the board, was then recalled to the stand by At- torney Stratton. “Did you have any conversation with D. H. Bibb after your appointment as Harbor Commissioner?” was asked. “I did,” replied the witness. “He came to me and said that he wanted a share of the lumber contracts to be awarded by the board, as he was a good Democrat and had assisted in the elec- tion of Governor Budd. I told him that I was a minority on the board and that moreover William Inglis, whose father was an old friend of mine, had solicit- ed assistance in the same line. T after- ward learned that Bibb had been a member of the preceding State Repub- lican Convention, and having deceived me on his political faith I cut his ac- quaintance. I have not spoken to him for over two years. I never sent Inglis to him. The records of the commission will show that I have never had control of the lumber patronage. When Inglis testified that I told him that I was ‘so tied up’ T could not give him part of the lumber patronage he was mistaken, for I never had any conversation of that character with him.” J. J. Keegan, secretary of the com- | mission, and Chief Engineer Holmes were recalled to testify that Attorney Stratton had always advised that when bids were not opened on the day named in the proposal for bids there was great danger of legal complications if the contract was awarded. Attorney Stratton then announced that he had several more witnesses to examine to-day, and that he would be able to close the case for the defense unless the cross-examinations were too long drawn out. % —_— Bumped Into Sharkey.

Then after a light supper he was on his way to the California Theater to the reception and to the meeting. In the ante-room of the theater wait- ing for him were: P. N. Lillenthal, D. L. Westovér, Orville D.- Baldwin, Rabbi Voorsanger, Daniel Meyer, L. J. Tru- man, B. A. Becker, H. F. Emeric, Al- bert Miller and H. H. Sherwood. The general greeted them cordially and con- versed with them for nearly half an hour on the social work that was con- templated by the army in California. The Soledad colonization plan was par- l:culm ¥ the subject of the conversa- tion. Then the public meeting commenced. The great theater was crowded, and when the leader of the army stepped on the platferm a volley of cheers greeted him. The proceedings were opened by Commander Booth-Tucker, who after singing and prayers pre- sented Horace Davis to the audience as the president of the meeting. Mi. Davis in accepting the honor spoke of the work of the army and the success it was meeting with. “All the world,” he said, ‘recognizes the. good work carried on by the army. It has come in a time in the world's history when humanity never more needed a helping hand to assist theimyriads of the fallen to lift them up and assist them to recover their manhood.” “The Social and Spiritual Work of the Salvation Army” was the 3ubject of the general’s address. He told of the great strides made by the army since its formation and of the assistance it was receiving, showing the place it had gained in the estimation of the people who were interested in the betterment of the world. He asked his hearers to judge the army by its work. *“Do.not judge us by ourselves,”” he asked. “We are not perfect, but we think we are as perfect as imperfect man can make our organization. We have met defeat in places, but our motto is forever go for- ward, and we are advancing all along the line.

There are two sides to our work—the spiritual and the social.” He then gave statistics showing the work accomplished by the army since its formation. He told of the coun: tries where the flag of the army I8 unfurled and the work it has accom- plished and is striving to do in them. He told of the food and shelter sta- tion for men and women; the rescue | homes for fallen women and the work they have accomplished. The homes for fallen women in the six years of | their existence had saved 30,000 women and brought them from lives of shame [N THE POWER OF HIER ENEMY Mrs. Maria Parenti and Her Children Disap- pear From View. and returned them to the homes of their relatives and friends, good and ; | useful and faithful. women.
