Yesterday on Judges Fritz, Mogan and Ca- had preliminary examinations in cases. Stenographer Long hap- to. drop into Judge Fritzs court, nd the Judge ordered him to stay under | penalty of being arrested for contempt. «ong was wanted in Judge Mogan's court, and as Fritz refused to give him up Mo- | gan issued a subpoena for the stenogra- pher to appear in his court forthwith. | The subpoena was served and Prosecuting Attorney Davie of Judge Mogan's court appeared to show cause why Long should be turned over to him. Judge Fritz was | firm, and Bailiff Knight was sent to pro- | cure’ Long’s pencils and notebooks. Judge Mogan then issued a subpoena for the attendance of Stenographer Vernon, but Judge Cabaniss declined to part with him till the case was concluded. —_——————————— Federal Indictments. The Federal Grand Jury reported yes- terday to United States District Judge | de Haven that it had ignored the charges preferred against William Holmes, mas- | ter-at-arms of the Government transport | Thomas, by Coglpasser Daniel Moran, | who testified before the jury that Holmes had assaulted him with a belaying pin. The charge against Moran for striking the fourth mate was also ignored, on the ground that the coalpusser had béen suf- clently punished by belng Kept in irons and fed on a cooling diet of water and | bread. | .

Classes in the primary schools having less than fifty in the grammar classes are to be consolidated in accordance with the rules of the board. Chairman Mark denies that any whole- sale removal is contemplated, while ad- mitting that the policy of the board is to reduce the number of teachers in the in- terest of economy. The board, he says, has visited several schools, and where it was found necessary the classes were consolidated and several teachers have already been placed on the unassigned list. Others are to follow. Superintendent Webster is not in faver of consolidating the classes out. He is rather of the opinfon that the depart- ment is in urgent need of extra teachers. He belleves that by increasing the num. ber of pupils in the classes or placing more than one grade in the one class im- pairs the efficlency thereof. oIt i3 a difficult matter,” sald Mr. Web ster, “to apply a mathematical rule to the humber 0f puptis in & class. While it is true that some classes have not the requisite number, I question the advisa- R S i S S T bility of increasing them to the limit pro- vided by the rules. It means hard work and extra hours after the regular school hours to do justice to all the pupils. I, however, have not been consulted on the proposition, but I am certainly opposed to the policy of consolidating classes.” Treaties With France. ‘William M. Bunker, the n Francisco newspaper man who is now in Paris as honorary commissio of the local Chamber of Commerce, has written a let- ter to the members in which he discusses the treaties being considered by this country and France. Of the Kasson re- ciprocity treaty he writes: “The French than real. French politicians opposed to the present Governme of France are against the treaty, as they are against other administration measures, but I do not think, from all that 1 can iearn, that the lr~‘al§ will lack carrying strength here. If the Americans injuriously affect- ed by the treaty were to leave its defeat to the French they would make a serious and probably fatal mistake.” ———————— City Prison Flooded.

CHARLIE SULLIVAN CAN'T MISSITHE BaLL Now //'/[ 1, i / over a new epidemic which has entered their sacred precincts. It is diagnosed by athletic medicos as the “handball mitt,” and they are pre- scribing everything from witch hazel to hot cloths. When the doctors named EMBERS of the Olympic Ath- letic Club are greatly worried OLYMPIC CLUB MEMBERS NOW HAVE THE “HANDBALL MITT" the dread affliction great surprise was manifested by the clubmen. They were familiar with the ‘“glad hand,” had been greeted with the ‘“glassy eye” and on many occasions recelved the “marble heart,” but the ‘handball mitt"” was something foreign to their experience. ccording to Fred Butz, the *‘hand- ball mitt” s the medical term for a swollen hand, and he ought to know, because in his youth he ran errands for a practicing physiclan. Butz is afflicted with the dread malady and is now staying up nights trying to reduce its size. The rotund Mr. Butz is not alone in his misery. Phil Wand is los- ing his gray hair worrying over his gouty duke; Harry Ward no longer Jests or gestures; Charley Sulllvan has lost ten pounds in a Hammam bath trying to reduce the rize of his fin: “Jack” Tait has a big ‘“flipper”; George Birdsall has appeared before the bar and sworn off; “Bill” Kennedy is wearing his “mitt” in a sling; “‘Nat" Hewson has been excused from Grand Jury duty; Greenebaum thinks he has the hydrophobla, and in fact the epi- demic has played havoc in the ranks of the entire club. It is all due to a Iittle ball used in the good old Irish game of handball. The athletes have been in the habit of using a gas ball, but when the new court was completed the players switched to the little ball. Continued batting of the hard object has brought on hands that resemble hams. The game has such a strong hold on the affiicted ones that they are loth to quit the pastime until nature relieves thelr suffering, but have laid in a stock § ; § : : s : | : L P ONGATED BED..

WERE FRIGHTENED AWAY P e o DRILLED THE SAFE AND BROKE INTO CASH REGISTER. LA (S Burglars attempted to blow open the safe of Rancke Brothers, grocers at 1502 Kentucky street, some time between mid- night Thursday and yesterday mornirg. Evidently the safe-crackers were inter- rupted in their work, for when the pro- prietors of the store opened their place of business yesterday morning they found a hole drilled into the safe and a can of oil and a large fuse lying on the floor along- side it. The thieves effected an entrance to the place by prying open the back door with a jimmy. The safe was situated in one cor- ner of the store, so far from the street that it would be almost impossible to hear Falling in their efforts to break into the safe, which contained a large amount of money, the burglars turned their atten- tion to the cash register, relieving it of $12 in silver. In their hurry to get away from the place the thieves did not neglect g about 200 choice cigars and a bag containing 100 cent pieces. Z\ghe proprietors of the store are inciined to believe that the would-be safe-crackers were well acquainted with the premiscs, as the cent pleces were in a canvas ba behind the counter, where nobody woul the burglars thought they were carrying off a bag of $ pieces.
