In a small room located under several pretentious flats the two men conduct a place for the alteration and repair of clothing. Mess has a wife and three children living in Berkeley, | whom he visits once a week. Rosenthal is {a widower and has one child in an orphan (asylum and another living with a Mrs. | DeBoe at 1220 Webster street. | The shop occupled by the two men is also their sleeping apartment. One man | sleeps under the stairway leading to the flats above and the other in a small box- like apartment used at various times for the trying on of rejuvenated clothing. For some time past, Mess and Rosenthal have had differences about their financlal af- fairs. One time one partner would buy out the other, and next time the bought- | out partner would reciprocate. The en- | tire amount of money involved scarcely approximated $100.

It was not until early morning, at 30 o’clock, that he was found in the orhood by Officer George J. who ith Patrolmen Nylan and Fenner arrest- d him and charged him with attempting to_commit murder. | Rosenthal claims that after finishing the day's work he went to bed and was awakened by the smell of gas.

Nyhan of the Seven- | teenth-street station found himself in a | tight place at § o'clock yesterday after- | noon while making an arrest of a man | named Richard Meehan at Twenty-second | | and Chattanooga streets. At the time | mentioned a row started between a few | of the warm-belt roughs and the officer | | placed Meehan under arrest for disturbing the peace. | Nyhan had no sooner arrested his man | than he was set upon by the gang and an | | attempt was made to take the prisoner away. In this the women of the neighbor- hood took part against the officer and | closed in on him in such a manner as to | | | | prevent him from drawing his club. In the rough and tumble fight that followed Nyhan drew his pistol, which was seized by Meehan and dischatged. This had the | effect of scattering the crowd and Meehan | was_subdued, Just at this time, acting on information sent to_the Seventeenth-street station, | Officers Redmond and Norton arrived with the patrol wagon and conveyed Meehan to the station, where he was charged with battery and disturbing the peace. Among the crowd who made themselves conspicu- ous in battering the officer were two Lynch brothers, who made good their es- cape. Nyhan's head was considerably cut and bruised in the rough handling which he received at the hands of the gang.

Stanley, Saloon- Keeper, Meets With a Fatal Accident. Isaac W. Stanley, proprietor of Stan- ley’'s Grotto, Market and Turk streets, died yesterday morning at his resldence, 237 Turk street, and his body was removed to the Morgue to await the result of an investigation. Stanley went home Wednesday evening about 6 o'clock and while ascending the stairs fell backward to the bottom. Mrs. Stanley and the servant girl, Lottie Ed- wards, were In a rear room at the time and heard the noise of the fall. “What is that?’ exclaimed Mrs. Stan- ley, and the girl replied that it was some one dumping coal next door. In a minute or so they heard groans, and going to the top of the stairs saw Stanley lying in a heap at the bottom. They helped him upstairs and put him to bed. Drs. J. M. Williamson and M. B. Estes were sent for, and they found that Stanley’s left arm 'was broken in three places and there was a gash on the left side of his head. Everything was done for him, but he got worse and had to be tied down in his bed till he finally succumbed. Dr. T. B. W. Leland made an autopsy on the body and found that death was caused by delirfum tremens. Dr. Leland says that in the case of a heavy drinker a sudden shock will bring on delirium. The injuries received would not have caused "death. The body was afterward taken to 237 Turk street. DWELLS UPON GOOD DONE IN ARMY POST EXCHANGES Inspector General Breckinridge Says They Help to Promote the Mor- als of the Men. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—A report from General J. C. Breckinridge, inspector general, U. S. A, to the licutenant gen- eral commanding the army, urges an in- crease of the Inspector general's depart- ment in order to put it on a more efficient basis, and also calls attention to the un- certain and hampering effects of detailed instead of permanent officers in that de- partment. A lengthy chapter of the report {s de- voted to conditions in the Philippines, set- ting forth the initial lack of a properly organized syestem of land transportation in the islands and scarcity of well-equip- ped pack ns and tne improvements ef- fected in these conditions. “The evolution of the army ration” is dwelt upon at some length. General Breckinridge also touches upon the sue- cess which sugar and sweets have talned as a part of the soldiers’ food, es- pecially in the tropics. The success that has attended the establishment of post exchanges at garrisons throughout the country is noted, and it is stated that the concensus of opinion In the army gen- erally is that the present exchange pro- motes the morals, temperance, discipline and the health of the men as compared with the former regime. bales of liquor are confined to soft drinks, beer and light wines—a radical departure from the old system, when whisky was one of the ar- issued by the subsistence depart- ————— EXPERT VARDON GAYS GOLF IS A SILLY GAME Supplies Amusement and Good Exer- cise, but Is Not a Noble Sport. DENVER, Dec. §.—Harry Vardon, pro- fessional golf player and former champion of England, said during a discussion of :,il;e gume on his way to the station to- 5 “'Golf is a silly game. You take as much pains to make every stroke as you would 1o build a house. 'It's amusing and it's good exercise, but this thing of calling it a noble sport is all rot. It's a silly game.” Somehody suggested that it had been anything but a silly game =o far as his rofit was concerned, but Vardon only aughed. —— e NOT SEEKING APPOINTMENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—It can be defl- nitely and authoritatively stated that the report that Guueral Harrison Gray Otis is in Washington seeking an oflicial ap- pointment is without foundation or fact.

It is understood that Senator Morgan, who | has charge of the canal bill, will not press that measure until the treaty for the ¢b- rogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty fs | disposed of. On this account the friends | of the ship bill do not apprehend that he will make any opposition to the continu- | ance of the consideration of that measure. He has, indeed, said that he would be content to allow his bill to follow closely in the wake of the ship bill. Three or four Senate speeches are prom- ised in opposition to the subsidy biil, and it is expected that most, if not all of those already in sight, wiil be made dur- ing this week. Among those who proba- bly will speak on the subject are Senators Clay, Vest and Berry, all of whom op- pose the bill. Senator Vest is an especial | advocate of free ships. { There are differences of opinfon as to! what effect the taking of a vote on the fortification amendment to the treaty will | have upon the time of disposing of that | instrument, but a majority of the Sen- | ators express the opinion that the vote | upon the treaty itself will follow very | soon after the vote upon the amendment. The indications are that the amendment will be adopted, and, as thus amended, the treaty will be ratified. Opponents of the treaty will offer other amendments, but they ‘do not count upon having them favorably acted upon. The Senate will not sit Wednesday, on account of the centennial celebration of the establishment of the seat of Govern- ment at Washington, and there is a possi- bility of adjournment from Thursday un- til Monday of next week. iz Rad S PROGRAMME IN THE HOUSE. Brewing Interests Working for! Further Decrease of Beer Tax. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. —The pro- gramme in the House for the coming week contemplates the consideration and passage of the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill and the bill for the reduction of the war revenue taxes. Wednesday will be dies non, so far as| legislation is concerned, as on that day | the exercises in connection with the cen- tennial celebration of the removal of the seat of Government to Washington will be held in the House. The legislative ap- propriation bill is not expected to con- sume more than two days at most—prob- ably only one—and the leaders expect that the remainder of the week will suf- fice to pass the war revenue reduction act. It 1s probable that special interests which do not receive the consideration of the bill which they think they are en- titled to will attempt to amend it. This is especially true of the brewing interests, which hope to obtain a further reduction of the tax on beer from $1 60 a barrel, as fixed by the committee, to $1 35 a bar- rel. A plan has been organized by which tuese Interests belleve they can accom- plish their purpose. In order to secure this reduction, which will amount to aoout $7,000,000, that amount of revenue must be attained, anu those members who are working for a further reduction on beer will advocate the retention of the tax on bank checks and discounts, which amounts to about tne same sum. It is understood that many of the larger banks are not ogposed to_the reduction of this tax, on the ground that it reduces the number of small checks presented for yment, and thus reduces the cost of the clerical force in the banks.
