The Russian officers, with the exception of those of the imperial guard, are sons of the people and their manner of life is plain and democratic, iving a very small salary (a leutenant receives about $4) per month and can advance but very slowly), he has no possibility of indulging in any of the habits o peculiar to the military cast of Europe, The officer of the Russian army as a rule is a modest gentieman and earnestly devoted to his duties.

OAKLAND, March 30.—George Neul- ttadt, who says he is an agent, was ar- rested in San Francisco this afternoon on a warrant sworn out by Miss Ethel Refer of 507 Eighth street, charging him with the larceny of a gold ring, Miss Reier claims that Neuistadt was visiting her and that she laid her ring upon a table while he was in the room. According to her story she missed the 1ing immediately afterward. Neulstadt said to-night known Miss Reier for ‘two years. About | two weeks ago, he sald, he and the | young woman had a quarrel and he re- | iurned her ring, which he had been wear- | ing. He claims that Miss Reler is put up to the present prosecution by another man, who has come between them. He denies ever having written blackmailing letters o her or to any other person, such a charge having been made against that he had Neuistadt was arrested here in 1898 on a charge of embezzling a sword from a San Francisco man. The case was dropped upon the recovery of the sword. The pris- oner at that time claimed to have.been a marine in the navy. Chief Hodgkins, then a detective, investigated Neuistadt's stories and found them to have been un- reliable. On January 15 of last year Chief of Po- lice Biggy of San Francisco received letter from Colonel Muse of the marin corps at Vallejo to the effect that Neu stadt had been masquerading as an officer of matines and as one of Dewey's heroes of Manila Bay. Muse sald the man was an impostor of the worst type; that he had served two terms for desertion and that he had finally been dishonorably dis- charged from the marines in December, Neuistadt was arrested at another time resenting himself as a detective. The cul- mination of this arrest was the taking of Neulstadt before the Insanity Commis- sion. He was not committed, however, because it was determined that he was more of a rogue than a maniac. - ——— e Killed in Runaway Accident. Frank Drought, a waiter, employed at the Occidental Hotel, residing at 652 How- ard street, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon by bheing knocked down by a runaway horse. Drought was walking 6n Howard street when a hcrse attached to a wagon belonging to the People’s Min- eral Hyglene Company ran away and knocked him down. John Mattes, a driver for John Kewing, in trying to make room for his own wagon, released the horse of the mineral water company from a hitch- ing post on Howard street, when the ani- mal broke away. Drought received a fracture of the skull and died at the Re- ceiving Hospital shortly after midnight.

The following is to-day’'s park music programme: e —— o) N 3 o+ Is Set for Sat- urday. “Sir" Harry Westwood Cooper, allas | Dr. Ernest Moore Chadwick, was denied | the relief sought by writ of habeas corpus | vesterduy, when Superior Judge Carroll | Cook denied the application of the pris- | oner and remanded him into custody on a charge of forging a telegram with intent | to deceive Norine Schneider of Crockett | and inducing her to marry him. Cooper's attorney later in the day applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas | corpus. Cooper was taken into Judge Cook's court with irons on his wrists, Chief Suili- | van of the Police Department not caring to take any risks with the prisoner while transterring him from the Jjail to the | courtroom. A numper of cases were disposed of by Judge Ccok before he called the case of Cooper, who nervously betrayed his inter- | est in the proceedings. The court in giv- ing its decision said: I have carefully examined section 474 of the | | Penal Code and 1 can see no reason to give | any other comstruction than the one I gave | when this case was first presented to me. 1 am | of opinfon that the Legislature, in passing the | section mentioned, did not intend that the word | “torgery” should’ have the same_significance as it has in section 470 of the Penal Code. Under section 474, the sending. of a forged tele- | gram with the intent to deceive or defraud is a felony and the punishment is in the discre- | tion of the court. It certainly was the inten- tion of the Legislature to make the forging of a telegram, with intent to deceive or defraud, a criminal offense. 1f such a comstruction was not given to the section such a crime as this | is would go unpunished. The writ is dismissed and the prisoner is remanded into custody. On motion of Assistant District Attor- ney Deuprey, Cooper wgs arraigned on the indictment found by the Grand Jury. Cooper was requested to stand up while the indictment was read. Clerk Oscar | Tolle asked Cooper what his true name |was and the prisoner answered, “Ern- nest Moore Chadwick.” Clerk Toile, | when once before asked Cooper to tell his | true name, received the answer, “Harry | Westwood Cooper.” This was when | Cooper was arraigned in 1897 on a charge | of passing a fictitious check. | "o the indictment charging him with | fo,zing a telegram with intent to deceive |and defraud Norine Schneider, Cooper pleaded ‘not gulity,” though his attorney | opposed it.
