A | forni JUSTICE BEGINS HER REIGN IN HER NEW MUNICIPAL TEMPLE Police Judge Fritz, Yoachimatsu Oki and the Shade of Daniel W ebster Share the Honors of the First Session. Ky | | W K /// 7 e o e— OF PREPARATION POLICE JUDGE A. J. FRITZ TRANSACTS THE FIRST PUBLIC BUSINESS IN THE HALL OF JUSTICE BY HOLDING COURT. OTHER LOCAL DEPARTMENTS WILL MAKE NO EFFORT TO DISTURB THE CHAOS WHICH NOW RULES IN THE NEW STRUCTURE. HE Hall of Justice is at last some- thing more than a phantom of what 1t was expected to be. After vears of preparation, slow, dious and unprofitable, the build- ing was the scene yesterday of official After the scandals and squab- actors, thepleading and thres , the prodding and commands the building became yvesterday of a reality. ‘While ma- carpenters, locksmiths were filling the corridors sound Police Judge A. J. ritz opened court and held trial, It was something u 1 in the way of an offi- clal opening for a great building. And it may be interesting to the student of municipal law to remember that the shade 2] Webster and the very impudent presence of Yoach- business ble of contr of of offic sometht sons d furnisher: h varied aggressive imatsu Oki gave character to the formal opening of our Hall of Justice. There 1 should be no necessary assoclation be. tween Daniel Webster and Yoachimatsu Oki, but Yoachimatsu Oki established one that settled it. The Japanese with the upspeakable name is an interpreter and | he appeared vesterday before Judge Fritz | with a nervous desire to act as translator in the case in which Masuji Miyakawa is accused of extortion. This case has agitated the local colony of little brown men for months and a startling array of legal talent on both sides gave digpity to the proceedings. Thomas F, Graham and Thomas D. Rior- dan appeared for the defense and General Salomon scowled fiercely for the prosecu- tion. When Yoachimatsu Oki took the | stand_to justify his assumption of trans- lator he was soon floundering in a pool of | English grammatical depths. Verbs | nouns, adjectives, expletives, modifiers, | conjunetives and Infinitives had his brain | fn a whirl, and in desperation he shouted that whilé he might not have the ac- complishments of Daniel Webster he’ knew enough to speak and write English intelli ecided, however, ert and he w. was continued . wh e until next Tuesd The first court session in the new Hall of Justice was finished, and it will be some time probably before the sphere of justice is much more enlarged. The big building is still in a condition unfit for occupancy. There s still at least two weeks* hard work to be done upon its Tur- nishing. The court rooms, Superior and Police, are practically finished and rep- resent a decided improvement upon any- thing in the City Hall. The prison on the top floor, however, Is far from being finished. The cells, for- midable, secure, oppressive and cagelike, nplete, and if bars, bolts, locks and combinations count for anything no pris- oner will escape. As a whole, the build- ing is the best San Francisco ever had in its history and superior, perhaps, to those in most of the s of the Union. team of crack players has already been orgnized to meet the college knights of gridiron well as those of other letic clubs. 1579 that the Reliance Ciub has put a team in the field, but the lapse has only served to stimulate interest in the game among {ts members.

Mrs. Annfe Hennessey, proprietor of a grocery at 227 Natoma street, swore to a complaint in Judge Cabaniss' court yes- terday for the arrest of Dick Tierney on a charge of grand larceny. September 2 Tierney was in her grocery and saw her 2o to her hedroom and take money from under her pillow to make change for a customer. Shortly afterward she saw him with his hand under the pillow, but before she could raise an alarm he had escaped.

The clowns, reddest of all circus peo- ple, occupied a broken down wagon and made grotesque and plaintive music for the crowd’s edification.

Then came bands and dens and beautiful circus ladies and gallant canvas men and the grandeur that was Rome's in char- lots and more bands and more of the rest, and then the calliope and memory. The parade was but a foretaste of what was to come, however, for at night the features of the columm, seen under the glarp of the circus lamps and sur- rounded by the glamor of circus canvas and men in gaudy jackets, became more picturesque and “more =fascinating and rought home to the thousands of first nighters (hee‘{ood old _circus enthusiasm. efore Wednesday next there will be prevalent in town the “circus neck” and the “eircus eye,” the one stiff and twist- ed; the other furtive and shifty, and a little_crossed. It will come of trying to see three flnfip at once, with a stage at- tachment and two sets of trapezes all going at the same time, besides groups of clowns that disport themseives around the parade track and throw themselves about in most reckless fashion. From gne end of the big tent to the other thers is always something going on, and while the rings are being cleared ‘the clowns make merry to their hearts’ content. There are clowns in plenty, done up in the most outlandish costumes, and to the usual circus fun thev have added much that is new and original. The most noticeable thing about the performance is the excellence of the ac- robats. In all the work aloft and in the tumbling on the stage they are far ahead of anything else in their line that has ever appeared here under canvas. The DaComas, six of them, who perform in evening dress, are wonders, and if they do not kill themselves before the week is out they will be lucky. The clown dance and the clown band provoked waves of merriment from the reserved seats to the farthest corners of the bleachers, and the donkeys that chased them around the rings came In for a fair share of the ap- plause, The three herds of performing elephants are noveltles in more ways than one.

They end their act with a concert, weird and uncanny, and then sit back, with their forefeet in the air like lapdogs, to wait for approba- tion. Then the biggest. a beast of three and a half tons, waits for the others to leave and then follows them on his hind legs. The elephants march, each with the tail of the one in front clasped tight- ¥ in his trunk, and as they are practi- cally double-enders, and trunk and tail seem interchangeable, they somewhat re- semble a gigantic game of snap the whip, | done in dirty gray tones and minus the danger to the end man. The horses are a show all in themselves —well trained, handsome and of all sizes, from diminutive Shetlands to the tallest thoroughbreds, and the races that close the performance are fast and furfous and mucl circus race the San Francisco public has been to.
