To Prevent Others From Reap- ing Any of Its Golden Harvest. A Suit That Is Attracting the Atten- tion of the City’s Business Men. A matter is soon to come up in Depart- ment 4 of the Superior Court which is at- | tracting considerable interest among | business men of this city. It is the hear- | ing of the petition for an injunction made by the German Savings and Loan Soclety against a number of local capitalists, praying that they be restrained from giv- ing the name *“German American Bank' to the new banking concern they have organized. The interest comes from the novelty of the petition, as it is the first time in the history of the city that an institution of any standing has attempted torestrainan- other from doing business on the grounds that a slight similarity in names would work an irreparable injury to the older establishment. The new organization has existed for about five years in San Luis Obispo, where it did a large business under the name of the California Mortgage and Savings Bank. Some time ago, at a meeting of the directors, it was declded to enlarge the scope of the concern and make a bid for a fair share of San Fran- cisco business. Consequently the orig- inal capital stock of $500,000 was increased to §1,000,000 and tne paid-up capital was increased from $200,000 to $250,000, in order to comply with the banking laws of the State, and a charter was applied for to | enable the new company to carry on a | savings and general mercantile banking | business under the name of “The German American Bank.” agement of the As soon as the man- | German Bavings and | Loan Society heard of the application it | consulted 'with Mr. Goodfellow, the | bank's attorneyp with the result that | each of the directors of the new company | was served with a copy of an injunction | restraining them from doing business un- der the firm name they had decided to adopt, though, for some reason known | only to themselves, the injunction was pigeonholed, not being placed on the rec- ords at the County Clerk's office until | vesterday. | The hearing of the petition was orig- inally set for yesterday, but was put over by mutual agreement until next week. | It is not thought that the injunction will stick, as the names are not only not identical but are no more similar than the names of half a dozen other banking houses in the ci for instance, the Bank of California, California Title and Trust Company, and while in New York and other Eastern cities there are from six to a dozen in- stitutions doing business under exactly like conditions. The directors of the new banking house are among the wealthiest and most in- fluential Germans in the city, as follows: Ernst A. Denicke (president), H. Brun- ner (secretary), F. Kronenberg, Fred C. Siebe, John C. Bauer, A. Togazzini, A. Sbarboro and John C. Rued. WINGED INSECTS [N THE PARK Patches of Buhach May Be Cultivated to Abate a Nuisance. Experiment Suggested by Observa- tions Made at the Peters Buhach Farm. The winged ants, gnats, mosquitoes and other kindred insects are a great nul- sance in certain sections of Golden Gate Park. They not only pester human be- ings, but they attack horses with a per- sistent ferocity that sets the animals al- most wild. The place from which these vexatious insects come cannot be traced by the flight of the intruders, but it is surmised that the breeding grounds are in or near the park. The main question presented is how to get rid of the vicious and annoying little insects. A. B. Spreckels, who frequently drives to the park, suggests that experiments should be made in planting patches of buhach. The so-called Persian powder manufactured from the uhach blossom is extensively used as an insect exter- minator. Some years ago, when Mr. Spreckels was down at Merced buying mules, he observed a place where the leaves had been stripped from the gar- dens and orchards. When he inquired about the ravages, the keeper of the ranch said: *“I suppose the grasshoppers and insects just eat up everything.” Go- ing e little further along Mr. Spreckels came to a farm where the foliage was fresh and green, the gardens were fra- grant with flowers. Everything was in such happy contrast to the desolated ranch first visited that the visitor paused to inquire the reason for the fine natural aspect of the farm. He was told that the place was Peters’ buhach ranch, and ’that the insects did not visit the prem- ses. 2 ‘When driving through the park recently and noting what a nulsance the insects were, and how the high-bred horses were vexed by the assaults of the winged ants and mosquitoes, it came to Mr. Spreckels’ fancy that it would be a good thing to try the planting of buhach In patches throughout the park. It was remarked that Mr. McLaren could make the ex- periment_without much trouble and ex- pense. The buhach blossom, which re- sembles the marguerite flowaP, mav ex- pel the insects from the park reserva- tion. —_—————————— MONEY FOR THE CHARITIES. the Will of the Late James G. Fair. Judge Slack yesterday made an order directing the executors of the will of the late James G. Fair to pay the bequests made in the twelfth paragraph of the will. Fair directed in his will that $50,- 000 be distributed among the charitable institution® enumerated below in the pro- portion to the number of inmates in each. The accrued interest on the legacy amounts to $7904 16, and in accordance with the terms of the will, the order made yes- terday directs the following apportion. ment of the money: San Francisco Nur- sery for Homeless Children, $6818 07; Ma- ria Kip Orphanage, $7707 38; San Francisco Protestant Orphan Asylum, $19,070 82: San Francisco Ladies’ Protective and Relief Soclety, $21,541 14, and Florence Crittenton Home, $2766 70. Lieutenant Burke’s Estate. Mrs. Delia Burke, widow of Police Lieu- tenant William F. Burke, who was shot and_killed by Theodore Park Haynes, a week ago Wednesday, filed a petition in the Probate Court yesterday for special letters of administration on her husband’s estate. The estate consists of deposits in two banks amounting to $1988 46, A Victory for Decency. The appeal case of Charles Allais, who was sentenced by Judge Campbell for having knowingly rented haouses to be for tmmoral | Anglo-Californian Bank, | yesterday by Superior Judges Wallace, Cook and Dunne‘,’ sitting in bank. The appeal was taken on the ground that Judge Campbell had admitted testimony that was incompetent. The appeliate Judges decided that there was no merit in the appeal and sustained the judgment of the lower court. Allals was arrested at the time the suc- cessful crusade was made to close the houses used for immoral purposes on St Mary's street. ————————————— QUICKER TIME WANTED. The Mission People Do Not Relish Mayor Phelan’s New Schedule. It would be difficult to find any one re- siding in the Mission who thanks Mayor Phelan for his interference in urging he Market-street Railway Company to adopt a new schedule of time on which the streetcars are now run. Six miles an hour in this age of the world for streetcars s considered to be going back to the days of horsecar serv- ice. Heretofore the service on the Mis- slon-street line was giving entire satis- faction to the traveling public. By It they were enabled to reach their places of business in a few minutes from the time they left their homes, whereas now, under the new schedule suggested by the Mayor, it takes from ten to twenty min- utes longer to cover the same distance. This additional time to a workingman who must be at .1e bench on time or forfeit a half-day’s pay means a great deal. The same can be said of the clerks and the hundreds of young ladies who do business in offices and at their trades in the various branches where ladies are employed. . In a recent interview with Mr. Vining, superintendent of the Market-street sys- tem, that gentleman expressed his dis- satisfaction at the change of speed. al- leging that the object of the company which he represented was to please his patrons—meaning the public, of course— that in obedience to the wish or, rather, the request of the Mayor of the city, the speed of the cars had been reduced to meet his wishes. The Mission people are frank in denouncing this action of the Mayor as being outside his official duties. It is urged that there is a law governing the speed of streetcars in cities, and it is for the courts and the police authorities to see to the enforcement of this law, and not for the Mayor. The people require a return to the eight- mile schedule, and are hopeful that their wishes may be gratuied. GAS ENGINES FOR RANCHES With Their Aid Farmers Fear Nothing From the Drought. Nearly All Big Ranch-Owners Are Putting in Pumping Plants for Irrigating. Nearly every vig ranch in the State has suffered more or less for the want of water. The rainfall has been away below the average, and many a farmer has been put to straits in order to save even a part of his crop. Quite a number of the larger ranch-owners have lost their faith in the clouds, and are now pinning it to gaso- line. Gas engines are being erected in all parts of the State, and when they are in thorough working order the farmer will be in a position to snap his fingers at a dry season. Among those who have transferred their allegiance to gasoline is Henry Dutard of Santa Clara County. A 60-horsepower engine is now being built for his ranch, and wuen completed it will be one of the very few o. its kind in the United States. It wiu run a centrifugal pump that is eighty-seven feet below the sur- face of the ground. A _20-horsepower engine is already at work on the Armstrong ranch, and a duplicate is now being put in position. They will pump the water from the Sa- linas River, and when in full operation will be able to deliver Into the reservoir 200,000 gallons an hour. The original pump is now supplying Mr. Armstrong's own ranch, and the new one is to work a 10-inch centrifugal pump to supply his neighbors. The E. W. Krupp ranch, near Mountain View, is getting a :s()-horse{)ower engine, and, like the others it will rum~ water for irrigating purposes. O. McKee of San Jose is having an engine erected on his ranch that will pump 350 gallons of water a minute. It will be used in irrigating his orchard. ‘Walter S. Hobart is having a 20-horse- power engine put up at his ranch at San Mateo, and E. W. Hopkins a sim- ilar one at Ménlo Park. When completed Mr. Hobart’s engine will be able to pump 10,000 gallons of wa.er an hour into a reservoir 200 feet high. Other engines to be used in supplying water for irrigating purposes are ~oing to Los Angeles, Tehama, Santa Clara, Sac- ramento, San Joaquin and Contra Cost: “It's an ill wind that blows npbody good. BRANT WANTS BIC DAMAGES Claims That He Was Thrown Out of His Seat by a Collision. The Conductor Contradicts His State- ment and Swears THat There ‘Was No Collision. The taking of testimony in the case of Ernest Brandt against the Southern Pa- cific Company was concluded yesterday in the United States Circult Court, and the counsel will present their arguments to the jury on Tuesday. Brandt is seeking to recover $50,000 for a dislocated shoulder, which injury he swore he received on the night of March 30, 1897, by being thrown from his seat in a railway car by a sudden jar while on the way from Truckee to Sacramento. He has another suit on file for another $50,000 for damages caused by the death of his wife, which he claims was brought about by injuries received on the same occasion. The defense was that there was no collision, rough coupling or other thing on the night mentioned to cause any pas- senger to fall from his seat, and that the injury received by Brandt was due to his own carelessness in falling asleep in his seat in an insecure attitude. The testimony was very conflicting. F. F. Chase, the train conductor, swore that there was no accident on the night in question and that there was no rough coupling sufficient to cause the plaintiff to fall from. his seat. 1f there had been any jar more than ordinary on that night the glass lamp chimneys would have been broken, but the cuntrary was the fact, there being nothing whatever broken or disarranged. On the cross-examina- tion the witness admitted that he had told Yare naster Lewis on that day that a man had fallen out of his seat, but that he must have said it in a joke. He testified further that Brandt did not ask for a surgeon and did not tell him that he had injured his arm. Brandt flatly contradicted the testimony and said that he had reported to the con- ductor the fact of his mjury. The shock of the sudden stoppage spilled the water out of the tank all over a Chinaman sit- tingg near it, but it did not upset the tank. The witness was asleep at the time of the shock and wasawakened by being thrown violently out of his seat. He swore also that he asked Conductor Chase for a doc- tor and that Chase had replied that a dislocated shoulder was nothing; that he, Chase, had his nose broken once, but did not send for a doctor. —————— Is Now a Policeman. Henry N. Potter wds yesterday sworn in as a policeman. He is a clerk by.oc- on, 29 years of age and a native Butte Countyr HOT RECEPTION FOR SCHAEFER Mistake of Waking Up a Bartender While Asleep. Three Shots Fired but Without Inflicting Serious Injury. Thomas Tregilles, an ex-Minstrel, Arrested for Assault to Com- mit Murder. Frank Schaefer, a painter in the em- ploy ment of Beghul & Son, 2130 Market street, was nearly made a subject for the Coroner yesterday morning. Shortly after 7 o’clock he entered a saloon on the corner of Market and Valencla streets to get a glass of beer. The bartender was asleep in a chalr, and Schaefer shook him and roused him up. As the bartender went behind the bar he put his hand in his pocket and declared that he been robbed. He accused Schaefer of robbing him, which Schaefer indig- nantly denied. Schaefer left the saloon and went to the shop where he is employed. The bar- tender followed him and again accused him of robbing him. They had some words, and then they grappled with each other. The bartender pulled a revolver out of his pocket and, before any one could interfere, he fired three shots at Schaefer. One of the bullets struck him on the neck, another on the left thumb, andt the third shot away a button on his coat. The two men were separated and the bartender left the shop, while Schaefer hastened to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that the wounds on his neck and thumb were not serious. He said that he did not know the name of the bartender, but he would swear out a warrant for his arrest. Schaefer notified the Seventeenth-street Police Station and the bartender was ar- rested yesterday afternoon on a charge of assault to commit murder, He' is Thomas Tregilles, who is well known as an ex-minstrel and who was a member of Billy Emerson’s company, which in- cluded among others Gus Bruno, Pete Mack and Charley Reed. Tregilles sticks to the story that he was robbed while asleep and believes tnat Schaefer was the man who robbed him. In the circumstances he considers he was perfectly justified in using his revolver upon the man he suspected. Schaefer de- nies emphatically that he robbed Tregil- les, his only object in going into the sa- loon being to get a glass of beer before starting work. He lives at 2016 Market street, not far from the saloon. HOFE LAY SO0 KNOW HIS FATE Attorney Schooler Made the Closing Argument for the Defense. Criticized the Police, Detectives and the Language of Attorney George W. Baker. Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock the arguments in the Hoff case were resumed before Judge Cook and jury. Attorney Schooler had an inning, and at some length entered into all the details of the case. The attorney, in his argument, en- deavored to enter into points concerning the innocence of the defendant, but an objection by Assistant District Attorney Hosmer was sustained by Judge Cook on the point that the matters touched on were not contained in the records. Then in well-worded expressions the speaker threw numerous bouquets at the Judge and thanked all interested parties for the fair and impartial trial accorded his client, Albert Hoff. Throughout the argument the attorney attacked the testimony of various wit- nesses, not that he doubted their sin- cerity, but from the standpoint that he believed Mrs. Uschold and others were mistaken as to the date and that the incidents testified to had taken place on the 14th day of December instead of on the 15th, the day of the murder. In bit- ter expressions he told the jury that his client was placed at a disadvantage be- cause of prosecuting attorneys and ear- nest sleuth hounds, with a determination to bag some victim because of an inabil- ity to catch a guilty party. He also criti- icized the language of Attorney Baker on the previous day, and stated that the prosecution had been totally unable to prove a motive for the murder. As the testimony of the witnesses was picked to pieces Hoff frequently smiled and seemed to be more composed than at any time during the trial. Continuing, Mr. Schooler said that Mrs. Clute had not been murdered by the de- fendant, and furthermore that Mrs. Clute was not killed with the coupling pin nor had Hoff seen it prior to the time it was shown him .y Detective Seymour. The attorney then spoke of the wound which Hoff had on his left hand, and stated that it was impossible for the in- jury to have been made by the coupling pin, but that it was received from a tack in the carpet which the defendant was preparing to lay. The attorney relied on the lack of mo- tlve and the time the murder was com- mitted to prove an alibi to strengthen his argument. This morning at 10 o’clock Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Hosmer will give the clos- ing argument for the prosecution, and it is expected the jury will be charged dur- ing the afternoon. The argument was resumed at a night session. ADVERTISEMENTS. WILL LIFT YOU OUT OF BED and put you on your feet after a spell of sickness much quicker and better than any other tonic in existence.
