A day| which is anathematized as ‘“hot"” and | is simply moderate proves that this | city has the finest of climates, but that those who get the benefit do not al- ways appreciate their blessings. Yesterday the maximum temperature, | according to the weather bureau, was | 839-10 degrees and with the exception | of April 24, 1897, was the warmest re- | corded here for this season of the year | in more than a decade. On that date | it was 8&. While people noticed that | the temperature had gone up, and the | more thoughtful of them left their over- coats at home, there was no inconven- ience felt. Butter on the restaurant table lost a measure of its solidity, there was a good demand for beer, and long cool drinks were in particular fa- vor. Nobody rode inside a street car if there was & seat on the dummy. | Of course the weather bureau has an | explanation of the sudden change, be- | ing sustained by the Government part- | ly for this purpose. It says it was| brought about by high pressure prevail- | ing over the northern half of Califor- |nia. This has jammed a lot of warm | air out of place and sent it scurrying | down the coast looking for a chance to alight, and part of the suitry breeze shed itself right here. This breeze may have acquired a nortion of its| warmth through the friction generated by the galit it struck, although the| weather bureau gives no hint of this. | At Sacramento the wind was moving at the rate of thirty-two milés an hour, | but toward evening it dropped to eight- | een. It was not an invigorating wind, | but promoted the tired feeling charac- | | teristic of spring, gentle spring. Reports from all over the State indi- STORM-STAYED IN EAGLE HARBOR.

The codfishing schooner Arago, which left here last October for Sagd Point, had a very hard time up north. For weeks at a time it was impossible’ to lower a dory, and during a heavy gale three of the crew were drowned. When a chance did come to work the vessel the running gear was found to be frozen and the windlass was set into a solid mass so it was impossible to hoist the anchor until the ice was thawed-away with hot water. From February 6 to February 22 the schooner was one mass of icicles, and Captain Stensland says that when the sun’s rays struck her she was the most beautiful sight he ever saw. Long icy pendants hung from the bowsprit, the rigging, booms, and formed In a series of network on the vessel's sides. It took the crew all their time to keep warm, and several of the boys were frost-bitten dur- ing the cold spell. “It is not true that my sailors were drunk when their dory capsized,” said Captain Stensland yesterday, when talk- ing about the drowning of the three men. “The weather up there had been very bad, and Captain Carlson of the schooner Mary and lda, after trying in vain for six weeks to get to the westward, gave up the unequal fight and put into Eagle Harbor. When 1 put in there in the Arago I anchored in the outer harbor, while Carison had gone into the inner harbor, about five miles away. I was very anxious to get news from San Fran- cisco, and as Peter Jensen, O. Stevens and J. Jones were more than anxious to go to the Mary and Ida, I at last gave my consent for them to make the visit. They started at 8 a. m., and as the wind was blowing hard in the direction of the Mary and Ida they made the trip in two hours. Owing to the driving sleet I could not see when they left on the return trip, but I kept lights burning until after mid- night, and had men on the lookout all nigh t. Next morning Captain Carlson of the Mary and Ida pald me a visit, and I then learned that my men had started for their ship at 2:30 p. m. the day before. I sent the mate and two men out in one dory and I took two men and went in another, and soon after we had begun our search we found the overturned dory, but could get no trace of the men. We kept the search up for five days, but never saw a sign of the three fishermen again. “Now there was a party on the Mary and Ida, but there was nobody drunk, as there was nothing to get drunk on. ho- ever brought that story down simply told what was not true, as there was not an ounce of spirituous liquors on either schooner. “After getting away from Eagle Harbor we made Sand Point, and there we lay until March 22, thinking every day we would be driven ashore, in spite of our two anchors. It blew a gale the whole time from the southeast, and we could not see the ship’s_length for the driving snow and sleet. When the weather did moderate a little we finally, got away for San Francisco. The fates were still against us, however, as during the run here we encountered nothing but north- erly winds and snow squalls. Up in Al- aska waters the weather was the worst I have ever encoul , and it was simply an impossibili@§ for Captain Carl- son to make . connections with the schooner Winchester.” All the vessels have been having a hard time of it in the northern waters. From Unalaska to Unga Island is only about 240 miles, and yet it took the steamer Bertha six days to cover that distance. There were days at a time when she could barely hold her own, and again when the storm was at its height she was driven back. Consequently, ship- owners who have vessels in Alaskan waters are anxious about them. The schooner Kadiak, which arrived from Kadiak Island yesterday, reports the non- arrival of the scnooner Alexander, which left here February 6 last. The run up i frequently, made under & f pad Judge de Haven Decides Against the J. Kelso Company. It Must Stand Trial for Violat- ing the Federal Eight- Hour Law. A Corporation Must Respect the Statutes and Can Be Punished Like an Individual. Labor gained a decided victory yester- day, when United States District Judge de Haven handed down his decision to the effect that the John Kelso Company must stand trial for violating the Federal eight-hour law by working laborers for nine hours and longer on the site of the proposed Postoffice building. Several months ago John Kelso, con- tractor, was arrested by the United States Marshal on complaint of several labor organizations in this city for having vio- lated the . ederal statute. Kelso set up as a defense that the statute was aimed at contractors for public works, and that he was only an employe of a subcon- tractor, the John Kelso Company, the San Francisco Bridge Company having as- signed to the John Kelso Company the contract for excavating the foundations of the site, Upon this showing the charge against Kelso was dismissed by United States L € umissiener Heacock, and a war- rant was issued for the arrest of the neiso Company. The warrant was served upon Kelso as president of the company, at the suggestion of Assistant United States Attorney Knight, following the procedure laid down by the Civil Code of the State, there being no way of ac- complishing the same end under the Fed- eral Statutes. Then the Kelso Company set up the contention that a corporation, not having a soul to be saved or a body to be kicked, could not. be haled into court | on a criminal charge and could not be punished either by fine or imprisonment. It also insisted that a corporation could not be deemed to have maliclous intent, a necessary ingredient to every criminal ragout. Commissioner Heacock decided that the corporation could be punished and was responsible criminally, and so he recom- mended in his report to the District Court. | . Thereupon the defendant made a motion before Judge de Haven to quash the summons. and to dismiss the case. The thirty days is considered a very T i S L A passage.

Two launches, each 40 feet long, 12 feet broad and drawing 18 inches of water when loaded, are now being com- pleted at Belvedere, and will be carried north on the barkentine’s upper deck. They will carry thirty tons of freight and accommodate fifty passengers each. The engines are being built by the Main- street machine -shop, and they will drive the launches at the rate of fourteen knots an hour. Captain Green of the Sudden is ready to wager iood American money that he will land his passengers first at the gold fields. The schooner Florence will sail for the Yukon next Saturday. The vessel is half a dozen things in one and her owners say she can't_be beat in any of her good oints. She is provided with a false eel, three feet deep. This can be re- moved at y time and a stern wheel put in, when, presto, the schooner is transformed into a stern-wheel steamer drawing less than a foot of water. All the engines and boilers are now in place these the schooner is fitted wmill plant whose capacity is of Jumber a day, a dredging plant with a capacity of 400 cubic yards a day, an electric light plant with power for 150 lights, besides a machine shop and all steam launch. Two years’ pro- s are being taken along and the ed in the affair expect it to be a success from the start. The con- cern is known as the Mutual Mining and Investment Company, and Ivan L.

Her keel wil then be removed and she will proceed up the Yukon, dredging the sand bars for gold as she goes along. George W.

The ease with which some policemen swear to the facts alleged in thelr com- plaints against vagrants was exemplified in a case in Judge Conlan’s court yester- day morning. Policeman S. Orr arrested George Gib- bons Sunday morning on a charge of vagrancy. Yesterday morning Orr swore to a complaint in which he alleged that Gibbonshad been loitering around saloons from April 5 to Apri 10. When the case was called he swore to the same facts as in the complaint. Giblons astonished the court when he testified that he had only been released from the House of Correction on Friday last after serving a term for petty lar- ceny. He was sent from the Judge's court. The Judge examined his records and found that Gibbons was right. He dismissed the case and adminitstered a severe rebuke to Orr.

The police are searching for Oliver P. Leavitt, the sewinge machine agent who stabbed D. W. Hewitt, a teamster, at the lodging house, 322 Seventh street, Sunday night. Hewitt's wounds are not consid- ered dangerous. Detective Sullivan, who is working on the case, belleves that the trouble was over the landlady of the lodging house, Mrs. Moore. Both men were in love with her, and Hewitt was regarded with more favor by her than his rival, who had to leave the house.

The following are extracts from the de- cision: “It will be observed that by the express language of this statute there must be an intentional violation of .its provisions in order to constitute the offense which the statute defines. In view of this express declaration, it is claimed on behalf of the defendant that the act is not applicable | to corporations, because it is not possible | for a corporation to commit the crime de- | scribed in the statute. The argument ad- vanced to sustain this position is in sub- stance this: That a corporation is only | an_artificial creation, without animate | body or mind, and, therefore, from its | very nature, incapable of entertaining the | specific intention which by the statute is | made an essential of the crime defined. | The case of the State vs. the Great Works | Mill Company, 20 Maine, 71, supports this proposition, and it must be conceded that there are to be found dicta in many other | cases to the effect that a corporation is | not'amenable to prosecution for a positive | act of malfeasance, involving a specific | intention to do an unlawful act. | "“In a general sense it may be said that | no crime can be committed without a joint operation of act and intention. In many crimes, however, the only intention required is an intention to do the pro- hibited act. * * * In such a case the in- tentionof the directors that the prohibited act should be done is imputed to the cor- poration itself. “That a corporation may be liable civilly for that cl of torts in which a spe- cific malicious intention is an essential element is not disputed at this day. Thus | an action for malicious prosecution will lie against a banking corporation. * * * An action will lie also against a corpora- tion for a malicious libel. * * * When a statute in general terms prohibits the | doing of an act which can be performed by a corporation there is no reason why such statute should be construed as not applying to corporations when the pun- | ishment provided for its infraction is one | that can be inflicted upon a corporation, | as, for instance, a fine.” On the subject of the service of the summons Judge de Haven says: “The course adopted was to follow the practice prescribed by the Penal Code of | this State, and there was served upon | the president of the corporation a sum- { mons giving full information of the of- | fense charged against the defendant cor- poration and naming a day for the de- fendant to appear in court and answer such charge.” * * * | ‘Tllle motion of the defendant will be de- | nied. T0 POPULARIZE THE SOUTH SIDE Changing the Steam Line Into & Trolley System Will Have This Effect. The Old Metropolitan Power-House on Carl Street to Be Utilized on the New Road. The change of motive power now be- ing made by the Market Street Railroad Company on the south side of the park will have the effect of making that side of the people’s pleasure ground more | pouular than it has been in the past.

The_electric power to propel the ocean- bound cars from Stanyan and Freder- ick streets will be obtained from the old power-house formerly used by the Metro- politan Company on Carl and Willard streets. This power-house is now being ut in order and heavy riveted poles are eing put in place along the streets lead- ing to H street, over which the trolley cars will run to the ocean, and over the tract formerly used by the steam line. To accommodate the traveling public stations will be erected at Ninth, Nine- teenth and Thirtieth avemues, at which the cars will stop on their way to and from the beach. The old steam car house on H street will be refitted and made fit for the hous- ing of the new electric cars of this branch. This change will restore to the people that portion of the southeast corner of Golden Gate Park upon which has stood the station of the railroad com- pany ever since the road was built and upon which so many complaints have been based regarding the action of the Park Commissioners in leasing this prop- erty to the corporation. | By these proposed changes the Sunset | Valley becomes of considerable import- | ance, and at the same time an active rival of the favored Richmond on the north side of the park. Following this line of improvements in | this section of the city the Carl street | line of electric_cars will be switched fur- ther south in the near future so as to run right in front of the afliliated colleges and continue as now onward to Ninth avenue and Golden Gate Park, where it will connect with the Ocean Beach line | direct to the CIiff House. | The Spring Valley Water Company is about to put in larger mains from the | in | Clarendon_ Heights reservoir into and | through Sunset Valley as far as the| streets may be graded. Not to be out- done in generosity the Gas and Electric Company will string electric wires along the streets as far as they are occupied by residents, while the Park Commis- sioners will throw lights on l\g south side of the roadway clear to the beach.

MEYER Hours, KLONDIKE OUTFITS Not complete without a supply of LT (L, o 52, RN ERAS Laura Gibbons, a most determined lit- tle woman of 28 years, had a narrow es- cape from passing last night in the Coun- ty Jail. Mrs. Gibbons, who is quite pre- possessing, keeps a candy store at 1134 Valencia street, and when not engaged in selling stomach-ache to juveniles, spends a large portion of her time in the courts, for she has a penchant for getting tan- gled in the law’s meshes. Mrs. Gibbons always conducts her own cases, to the discomfort of the Judges, and so, when J. S. Reid, as assignee of G. Galleti, brought suit in the Justice Court to recover $5925 on a promissory | note given in payment for goods, and the | case came up for trial before Justice | Kerrigan a couple of months ago, Mrs. | Gibbons scorned the services of a lawyer and made her own defense. She made | a strong fight, but it was clear that she | owed the money, so the Justice gave his decision in favor of the plaintiff. Mrs. Gibbons was not satisfied and | gave notice of appeal. In looking over | her bond Justice Kerrigan was doubtful | as to the security and ordered her to ap- pear and justify her sureties. She paid no attention to the order and on March 31 she was cited to appear yesterday and | Show cause why she should not be pun- ished for contempt. This time the lady decided to appear, and she explained to the Justice that she had never received the previous order. The attorney for Reld took occasion to question her as a judgment debtor regarding her property, but Mrs. Gibbons took exception to his line of questioning and flatly refused to answer, despite the warning of the Jus- | tice, who told her he would punish her | for contempt unless she answered. At this Mrs. Gibbons turned upon his | honor and charged him with having treat- ed her unfairly during the trial. She | became very boisterous and refused to | calm down, so Justice Kerrigan gave her | twenty-four hours in the County Jail to | ponder over the situation. This brought | the lady to a realization of the fact that | as a lawyer she was not a success and | she called upon W. H. Abbotts to keep her out of jail. A deputy led her away to the Sherifi's office, where she was de- attorney was at work in her behalf. He finally induced the Justice to release her on her own recognizamce until Wednes- day, when she will again appear in court. el e A California Boy Honored. According to the Washington Post, in its account of the fourth debate of the debating Society of the Georgetown Uni- Law School, Robert P. Troy of California is distinguishing himself as an orator and logician. The debate was upon the question: ‘‘Resolved, That a constitu- tional amendment should be enacted whereby United States Senators should be elected by a direct vote of the people.” After naming those who took part in the argument the paper mentioned says: “Both sides presented their arguments well and forcefully, and the speech of Mr. Robert P. Troy, for the negative, was a masterly effort.” The judges, after care- ful deliberation, gave the decision in favor of the negative. Pending the deci- sion the students made several patriotic and flery speeches upon the panish- American question, and a resolution was assed “That the students of the great niversity of Georgetown do offer their services to the President of the United States to do his bidding In marching against the armies of Spain, and in aveng. ing the sallors of the Maine and the slaughter of the Cubans.” B —————— On Her Own Recognizance.
