Dr. F. M. Sponogle, late medical super- intendent of the Agnews Insane Asylum, is of the opinion that the expression of various adverse sentiments reflecting on his character by Henry T. Gage, Gover- ing overlooked in the division of the spoils and from the fact that none of the flitting twenties found a resting place in | his itching and capacious palm. The testimony given yesterday puts the | matter “up to” Gedge. Positive asser- | tions were made that he had admitted | paying $800 to Conlon for influencing the latter’s vote. While the evidence was not quite as strong that he had nowledged recelving $2000, the fact of the $800 end of the transaction stares the accused Direct- or squarely in the face. He can not get away from it. It is “up to him" to ex lain to the Grand Jury where he got that W, for w purpose it was given him | and why he passed it over to Conlon. He | has supplied from his own lips the mate- I which suggests these queries. There can be no squirming or evading the issue: | Where did that money come from? Who paid it to Gedge? | Why was it pald to him? id he turn it over to Conlon? an_injustice and not desiring to publish any matter in The Call that was not fully substantiated. Mr. Spreckels sent for Walker, who admitted that Gedge had told him of receiving a certain amount of money and paying $§00 of it to Conlon. Walker ‘suppleménted his story with the statement that he had made the same as- sertions to School Director Harry M. Hol- brook. With this information, Mr. Spreckels testified, he sent for the man- ager of the paper, told him the story was correct and instructed him to publish_ it. The testimony given by Director Hol- brook corroborated that of Mr. Spreckels. He had a perfect recollection of Mr. Walker telling him of Gedge's admis- sions. Grove P. Avers told of a conversation between him Walker and Holbrook, during which ‘Walker remarked that Gedge was dishonest. “How do you know that? Why do vou make such an assertlon?’ asked Ayers, “Because 1 have received admissions from Gedge’'s own lips,” was the startiing reply. Walker then went on to detail the confessions of “Gedge that he had re- bribe money and had given 3800 to_Conion. When Walker was called before the Jury he wiggled out of a positive state- ment that Gedge had told him of the $000 deal. He denied that Gedge had ever made such a statement to him, or that he (Walker) had. repeated . it to Mr. Spreckels, Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Ayers. Walker, however, was frank in_ admit- ting that Gedge 'had told him that he (Gedge) had paid $500 to Conlon to influ- ence the latter's vote. Mr. Walker's word is against that of three reputable citizens as to the $2000 matter, but they all agree on Gedge's statements concerning the $300 transac- tion with Conlon. The investigation will be continued at the next session of the jury.

The wife of William Schmidt met with a distressing accldent last night in the yard in the rear of her residence, Hayes street, the result of which will con- fine her to her bed for some time. Her son was playing around a chicken coop and the structure fell on him in such a way that he could not release himself and he cried loudly for help.

On August 23 last a joint meeting of the Lunacy Commission and the Board of Managers of the Agnews Asylum met in the Palace Hotel for the purpose of In- vestigating charges of misconduct pre- ferred against Dr. Sponogle. At the con- clusion of the hearing Governor Gage not | only concluded that Sponogle was guilty | of all oftens: attributed to him but in his that the phy- Teport he penned his opinion Selan was a murderer, ravisher and indler, setting forth various circum- ances in support of his contentions. Now Dr. Sponogle is of the opinion that the ac- tion of Governor Gage in thus excoriating him was the result of wanton mallcious- ness and alleges that his assertions, charges and reports were all based on falsehood and are libelous to a degree. Dr. Sponogle yesterday filed suit through his attorneys, H. V. Morehouse and Henry E. Highton, to recover $50,000 from the Governor for his circulation of the libels alleged and for costs of suit. Dr. Spono- gle has also sued an evening paper for Baving published the report under the headline, printed from three-quarter inch cpe. “Sponogle a Murderer, Ravisher and windler.” For the publication of this headline Dr. Sponogle demands_$20,000 damages, and although he has lost his po- sition_he intends to make those who re- moved him defend themselves for their action. —_—e————— ENCOURAGING KINDNESS.

Dear Mra. Holbrook: I heartily indorse the humane work which the soclety seeks to do among the young people attending the public schools of the city. The impressionable age of childhood is certainly the best time in which to fnstill lessons of forbearance, of consideration and of mercy toward our heipless dumb ani- mals. I am happy to extend my work for the sake of alding this good cause. Inclosed please find a check for $100. I hope the pro- Jected entertainment will prove a great suc- Cess, but if it should not be successful from a financial point of view let me know and I will add $30 to my donation.

Hill, a Soldier, Takes Forcible Possession of a Private Boarding-House. Willlam J. Hill, allas Willlam J. Young, of Company C, Thirty-third Infantry, ap- peared in Judge Mogan's court yesterday to answer a charge of assault with a deadly weapon preferred against him by Mrs. Ann Lane, wife of W. W. Lane, pro- prietor of a private boarding-house at 506 Dayis street. Wednesday Hill and another drunken soldier went into the Lane boarding- house, and Hill asked Mrs. Lane for some liquor. She replied that they did not sell liquor, Hill insisted, aad séizing hold of a chair said with an oath: “If you don’t give me liquor I will kill you—and you won't be the first woman 1 have killed, either. I'm from Texas, and I'm a bad man.” Mrs. Lane became thoroughly frightened and ran. Hill chased her.and struck at her three times with the chair, but for- tunately missed her. Lane, hearing the noise, made his appearance and asked Hill to control himself. Hill chased him also with the chair and was left in pos- session of the fleld, his drunken comrade having fallen asleep on a chair. Lane blew a police whistle, and Policemen Mec- Glynn and Donahue responded. Hill re- sisted arrest, and it took two officers and two citizens to drag him into the patrol wagon and take him to the police station, It came out in evidence that Hill had to kill _everybody in them unless he was supplied with liquor. The only explana- tion he gave the Judge was that he was too drunk to know what he was doing. The Judge ordered a subpena to be is- sued for Captain Shields, in command of Hill's company, to appear in the court to- day. The charge was reduced to simple ult, as no blow had been struck, but the Judge intimated that Hill would get the full limit and would not be able to accompany his regiment to Manila. Mr, Lane.” sald “the Tudge vould have been perfectly justified in shooting you, as you had no right to force your way into his house and attempt to beat his” wife's brains out with a chair. You may do these things in Texas, but you can't do them here." NOW ORGANIZED FOR A visited other places and threatened GREAT PLAN TO STORE FLOOD WATERS OF CALIFORNIA. The gigantic movement which has as its object the storage of the flood waters of the State is now thoroughly organized, and no delay will be permitted to inter- rupt the progress of the enterprise, which means so much to the prosperity of Cali- fornla. The men who represent various and important interests in this city met last night to complete organization and to discuss a call and plan for a convention which will include the vital interests of California ‘Willlam Thomas presided, and Cary Friedlander acted as secretary. It was unanimously decided that the name of the organization shall be the California State Association for the Storage of Flood Waters. A sub-committee submitted a r?¥ort outlining a call for a convention. his call provoked a long discussion and a final conclusion on the part of the associ- ation to send the report back to the com- mittee for reconsideration. The general opinion seemed to be that the call should make little more than an announcement of a convention to be held in this city, and that with it but independent of it should be issued an address outlining some of the suggested plans of the proposed conven- tion and emphasizing the tremendous value to the State of the storage of flood waters. W. H. Mills, Dr. Thomas Addison and F. Barker were appointed & commit- tee on address, and will meet in conjunc- tion with the committee on call next ‘Wednesday. Mr. Thomas announced that the Gov- ernor had ignored his letter asking for co-operation, but he added inat he would try to reach the chief executive in an- other way. Perhaps he had a club in mind. The association will meet next Thusrday night. MATRON’S POST IS DECLARED VACANT FRENCH HOSPITAL DISMISSES ITS HEAD NURSE. Because the French Hospital executive committee consider that Mrs. Kinney, the head nurse at the hospital, falls short as a disciplinarian and lacks discretion, her post at the hospital was declared va- cant at the committee meeting on Wed- nesday evening. For some months the committee has been considering the removal of Mrs. Kinney, and the decisive action on Wed- nesday evening was the result of much mature consideration. As a nurse the committee has naught but words of commendation to offer in behalf of the deposed matron. Her of- fense is an inclination to talk too much, a tactless and outspoken preference for some committeemen and an expressed dis- taste for others, Then the committee also claims that Mrs. Kinney, while hav- ing the respect and admiration of her nurses, did not exert a proper authority over them, a lack of discipline that has ?een most harmful to the hospital's wel- are.
