Those politicians who hope to be in the swim have been turning their attention to the study of history with the hope that they may find among the great men of the past some one to whom the Three Disgraces of the present may be likened. Little success has attended the effort to find the prototype of Willlam “Hal- lucination™ Alford, the inspired school- boy of Tulare. His closest friends agree in saying that he is a living refutation of the axiom, “All men are created equal.” It is as if Nature, in a lavish mood, created him and then destroyed | the design.

Artisans Have Made the Old Estab- lishment Like a Moorish Dream. After being closed for alterations for several weeks the Louvre, on the cor- ner of Powell and Eddy streets, re- opened at noon yesterday and for the balance of the day Mr. Bogen, the pro- ‘prietor, was the recipient of congrat- ulations from numberless friends for the notable improvements he has made in this popular cafe. The entire es- tablishment, which has an area of 140x60 feet, has been remodeled in the rich style of Moorish architecture ex- emplified by the old Alhambra Palace of Spain. Artistically in the huge apart- ment stand the supporting columns, and this colonnade with Moorish capi- tals ranges the length and breadth of the room.

The police discovered a case of cruelty to a child vesterday, and the per- son guilty of the crime was the baby’s own mother. Little Frank ‘White, four years of age, aroused the people in the vicinity of 11 Pol- Jard place by his cries at 3 o’clock in the morning, and Investigation showed that the boy had been thrust out into the street with nothing on but a night- gown. The little fellow was shivering with the cold, and his helpless con- dition caused him to immediately make friends with Officer Hutcnings, who ‘was called to the place. The policeman cuddled the shivering child in his arms and carried him to the station. When asked why he was out at that time of the morning the child, who is remarkably bright for his age, replied, ‘“Mother put me out.” The next question, “Do you want to go back to your mother?” brought the quick re- sponse, ‘“No, no; I would rather go to papa.” 94 a extra quality, ) ' 'E Murphy Bullding, WMarket and Jones Streets.

He | was in a worse position than the Span- ish fleet. The Spanish fleet is bottled up, | while Wolfe is in danger of blawing ouf | of the soft billet he now holds in the City Prison. Chief Lees is a great thinker and he rested for a day or two from the work of preparing explanations to be given the bublic, why the thugs, burglars and sand- hag artists who have been doing a thriv-| ing business_since he has been at the| head of the Police Department have not been caught. He thought of how succ ful he had been in the work of suppre: the scandal that attended the and retirement of Captain Rober the subsequent promotion of Nephew ‘Wolfe. He finally hit upon a plan. It was to have an Assistant Chief of Detectives, with rank of captain, the said istant to look after the general management of the City Prison and allow Nephew Wolfe to hold on to his soft position and large and unearned salary. Detective Seymour was selected to hold the nominal position of Assistant Chief and do the work of prison management. No one has ever questioned the ability or integrity of either Bohen or Seymour. They are both competent men and any duty ever intrusted to them has been suc- cessfully carried out. The pertinent question is why there should be an Assistant Chief of Detec- tives unless his duties are simply to look after Nephew Wolfe. No one would dis- pute or question the fitness of appoint- ing, for the present, an Assistant Chief of Police, with full power to act in lieu of the present senile occupant of that important office. An Assistant Chief of Police with vest- ed powers, as suggested, is absolutely necessary. There is no need of an As- sistant Chief of Detectives. It was an office that was sorely needed when I'm Wealthy Lees presided over the detective branch of the department. Had_Detective Seymour or Detective Bob Hogan, who knew so much more than the then Captain of Detectives Lees that he had to be relegated to the Dis- trict Attorney’s office to do clerical work in order that he might drop from the view of the public, who appreciated his clever work, Boen chosen Assistant Chiet of Detectives some years ago, the tax- payers would have applauded. With an Assistant Captain of Detec- tives who could do detective work it would have been known long before this who it was that murdered Eugene Ware in the St. Nicholas pharmacy. Durrant has been hanged for the butchery of Min- nie Williams and Blanche Lamont in the Emmanuel Baptist Church, but no one be- lieves him the slayer of Eugene Ware. With an assistant Captain of Detectives, when Chief Lees presided over the des- tinies of the detective department, the mystery of the Harrington murder sould undoubtedly have been solved. Then again. if there had been an assistant o 2] 1 @ The boy was taken to the Central police station and given in charge of the matron. Officer Hutchings knocked at the door of the house *where the boy clalmed his mother was, and after some time succeeded in arousing the woman, whom he placed under arrest, charging her with cruelty to her child. From Mrs. White it was learned that she and her husband had quar- reled about 12 o'clock, and that he had left the house. On his departure the heartless mother put the baby into the street, where it remained for nearly three hours before found. The police were searching for the father of the child when he walked into the California street police station, inquiring about his wife. Officer ‘White informed aim that the woman had been transferred to the Central station, and added that as he seemed so anxlous to see her he would be given an opportunity. The officer then booked him on the same charge which had been placed against the mother. The father of the boy is named John White, and is employed as a jani- tor. The neighbors say he is a hard-working man, and when sober a very good fellow, but it is said that he and his wife both drink, and when under the influence of liquor both are violent. Quarrels have been numerous dur- ing the past two years, and it is claimed that the child has been fearfully abused. One of the little legs has been broken, and it is believed that this was done by a blow from one of the parents, though they claim that it was the result of an accident. 0000000000000 000000000000000000000 PEREEEEPEPOPIIPINOPPOEPICEOPEODPDEOOBEOEO® {0[0I010l0lOI0IOlOl0I0IOlOl0J010IO[OI0IOIOI0IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO0I00] v tain of ' Detectives when Blanther S:nplmllted his foul crime he would have been arrested before he got over the State line and thus prevented adding suicide to his other crime. With an assistant Cap- tain of Detectives when Isaac Hoffman was _found dying on_the floor of his office on Battery street the police would have looked for proof that was not alone in- tended to sustain the Lees theory of sui- cide. Some vears ago, the department was sadly In need of an assistant Captain of Detectives. That time has passed, however. Captain Bohen is fully able to look after the affairs of the department and the time of Assistant Captain of De- tectives Seymour should not be taken up in the work of assisting Nephew Wolfe to_manage the City Prison. ‘With either Hogan, Seymour or Bohen at the head of the Detective Department, even in the capacity of assistant, with ower to direct, something might have geen found out concerning the looting ot the Property Clerk’s office and the carry- ing off of most of the ‘“evidence” against the Eastern safe crackers, Randall, Hintz and Thomas, who so successfully operated here when they followed in the wake of the Knights ‘emplar conclave. Eight s s s s 5 5 s s S s s s s o s s s s s s s members of the most successful gang of safe blowers and pickpockets that ever worked, came here. Five of them got off again with the most of the plunder. The others evidently felt conscience- stricken and waited behind to be ar- rested by the then Captain of Detectives Lees. Had they been inclined to be mean, they’ might have rented a room in building next to the old City Hall and | there been safe from the detection of Cap- | tain of Detectives Le€s. An assistant Captain of Detectives was then needed—not now. The assistant captain is only required to help out Nephew Wolfe. W ithou. neip he is hopelessiy lost in his new job. Then again there is the Jacobson murder case that has never been satisfactorily solved. Sydney Bell, footpad now under- going a life sentence at Folsom prison, is charged with the crime. He protests his innocence, and direct proof has never been produced to show that he tells an untruth. An - assistant Captain of Detectives would have been of benefit at the time of the Jacobson murder. To attempt to show all of the benefits | that might have accrued to the com- munity had Captain of Detectives Lees had an assistant, who would have been assured that if he worked diligently he would not be stowed away like Detective Hogan, would require too much space. Chief Lees appreciates full well that his official life is short. Hence his Qe- sire to see his nephew, Wolfe, well taken care of at the expense of the city. TO CELEBRATE HIS SILVER JUBILEE CEREMONY IN HONOR OF REV. M. O’RIORDAN. Archbishop Riordan and a Number of Priests of the City Will Participate in the Solemn Rite. Michael O'Rfordan, rector of ¢he Church of the Nativity at Menlo Park, will celebrate' the silver jubllee of his priesthood this morning with impressive ceremony. Solemn high mass will be said at 10:30 a. m. by Father O'Riordan in per- son, assisted by Father Nugent of this city as deacon and Father Clancy of Petaluma as' sub-deacon. Rev. James Cooper of San Mateo will officiate as mas- ter of ceremonies. An improvized throne for Archbishop Riordan was recently erected in the sanctuary to the left of the main altar, and will be occupied by him during the ceremony of mass. The deacons of honor to the Archbishop are Fathers Callaghan of San Mateo and Wachem, the director of the new iemlnary at Menlo Park. The celtbration of the silver jubilee this morning is tendered to the faithful riest as a testimony of respect and onor by the eclergy of the Catholic church generaily throughout the State. Although born and educated abroad Father O'Riordan is practically a Native Son, as he came to California when a young man, and in fact immediately af- ter his ordination as a priest. He was born on December 19, 1850, and received his education at the Mount Mil- leray Seminary. Upon completing his studies at the seminary he was ordained a priest of the Catholic church at All Hallows College after several years of study and teaching. ‘When Father O'Riordan arrived in Cal- ifornia, some time after the ceremony of ordinat.on, he was :zppolmed assistant stor of St. Joserh’s Church in this city. ter he was transferred to Stockton, where he remained for four yvears. From Stockton the priest, ever ready in the per- formance of his duty, in answer to a sum- mons from the Archbishop, left the val- ley town and took up his residence and new duties at_the San- Rafael Orphan Asylum, where he acted as assistant to Rev. James Croke. In he ‘was ap- inted pastor of the Church of the Na- ivity at Menlo. Park, where he has re- mained constantly ever since. \Immediately after the solemnization of mass this morning a banquet will be ten- dered the aged priest by the Archbishop. Fully fifty priests, most of whom will 1 come from this city, will be present. The { banquet wiil be held in the new_ semi- nary.
