Loses Control of Animal, Demolishes a Quantity of Glass, and Finally Refuses to Make Good the Damage Be- : AN McCARTHY, popularly | known at ““White Hat McCar- | thy,” had an exciting adventure on Geary street early vesterday morning. He drove his horse through the windows of the tailor shop of A. H. Behm, at 409 Geary street, and employed therein. Tallor Behm was han- dling the “goose” when he saw the horse coming through the window. He sounded the alarm, and Miss B. Haundrop, who was sitting in front of the window, and who was a few feet away, barely escaped being cut by the fiying glass. From just what direction McCarthy came is not definitely known. Some say that he came down from Post street along Mason, and that the horse, smelling a square meal in the stable at 814 Geary street, made a dash in that direction. Mc- thy attempted to guide the frightened | nimal against a telegraph pole, but missed the mark and crashed through the windows of the tailor shop. No one was injured except the horse, although several persons had narrow escapes. The animal plunged ciean through the window, breaking sash and glass. He was >ES 'L Pay ‘For THE DAMAGE DomE cause No One V\iill Advance Money to Meet the Expense; ACTED AD THoueH DOME ONE.

The Election Commissioners recetved bids yesterday for fifteen new election booths to be bullt of steel. It will be cut about the head. McCarthy tumbled out of the buggy, but was uninjured. He | went away, promising to send a glazier to repair the damage, and drove to his | stable. The glazier came and saw the ruins, but declined to make good the damage until he saw the coin. McCarthy did not have it with him and could not get it, and finally declined to pay for it any way. So the window remains un- glazed. McCarthy, who has handled all kinds of horses during his lifetime, declares that his business has been ruined by the in- troduction of the automobile. The horse that he was driving is an intelligent ani- mal and just how he lost control of it, as a horseman, he does not know.

Otto Shmidt, a bartender in “Cowboy Mug's” saldon on Pacific street, near Kearny, and George Green, a visitor at the place, were locked up last night on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, Green for threatening Shmidt with a beer faucet and Shmidt for firing two shots at Green. The two men got into an alter- cation and Green left the place with the announcement that he was going after a pistol. A beer faucet was as near as he could get to it, and with that he returned and proceeded to assault Shmidt. Shmidt drew a pistol of his own and sent two shots after Green, but neither hit any- thing. Before the row became more seri- ous the two men were arrested. ———— Bondsman Wants Mrs. Nation. WICHITA, Kan., April 22.—W. B.

Journeymen Adopt Rates of Bosses After Stormy Discussion. = The fear engendered in the minds of those who patronize the barbers that they ‘would have to pay a quarter to have their beards removed was allayed at the meet- of the Barbers' Union last night. The Journeymen decided that to walt fifteen or twenty minutes to hear a white-coated tonsorialist cry ‘“next’” was worth a lt- tle something and decided that 15 cents should be the standard price. The mother of a large family of boys, who takes them all to the barbers Satur- day afternoons to have thelr hair cut, has had that 10-cent raise tacked onto the price of trimming her darling’s locks and must in the future pay a quarter for the attention. The barbers contend that the youngsters' heads are as large as thelr papa's and in most cases have a heavier covering. The boss barbers submitted a schedule of prices, which was indorsed after a stormy debate by the journeymen. Tho prices that will prevail in the future are as follows: Shaving, every day in the week, 15 cents; haircutting, 25 cents; singeing, 25 cents; sham- pooing, 25 cents, and sea foam, 10 cents. The resolution indorsing these prices was adopted only after nearly every one of the 90 members present had, indulged in oratorical flights. Several times dur- ing the evening points of order Wwere raised, which sank into oblivion during the debate that followed and were brought to the attention of the chair an hour after the subject in dispute had been disposed of. Vice President Wray, the “lawyer bar- ber,” and J. J. Calish, the “politiclan barber,” tilted occasionally on Knotty points in parliamentary law and delayed the passage of the resolution adopting the bosses’ prices, until the barbers pres- ent began to think of the man who wants a shave before catching an early morning boat. To end the discussion fully 200 members rose and forced their way out of the hall and several of the orators must have gone out with them, for after their de- parture the resolution went through speedily. A committee consisting of Messrs. Aubertin, Selma and Jacobs was appoint- ed to meet with a committee from the bosses' organization to-night and inform the members that their prices met with the approval of the journeymen. PARIS EXPOSITION MEDAL TO REMAIN WHERE IT IS ‘Board of Health Cannot Buy It Under Present Appropriation, Says Mayor Phelan. No gold medal from the Paris Exposi- tion testifying to the excellence of the statistics of the local Board of Health will be hefted around as a part of the archives of that body. This was decided upon at a meeting of the board held yes- terday. The Mayor sent in a long com- munication about the proposition to buy the one awarded, but by a unanimous vote it was decided that the medal was too heavy to carry, with the funds available under the present appropriation. The metal testimonial will remain in Paris un- 1] some one comes forward with sufficient civic pride to buy it. A communication from the collection committee authorized to receive subscrip- tions from City Hall employes to aid in the reception of President McKinley was ordered placed upon the bulletin board. ‘A number of changes and appointments were ordered made. A. Bergez, bakery, bath and laundry inspector, resigned. his resignation to take effect April 30. J. T. Silvera, on motion of Dr. McCarthy, was appointed in his stead, and will assume his duties on May 1. The appointees who are helping clean up Chinatown were placed upon the pay roll.

The board of directors of the Manufac- turers’ and Producers” Association met yesterday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the propriety of making repre- sentations to the Navy Department in re- gard to having ships of the United States navy stationed in Paclfic waters repaired at this port. By unanimous vote the sec- retary was directed to send the following letter to Secretary of the Navy Long: The board of directors of this assoclation, having had under consideration the subject of future repairs to ships of the United States navy, now stationed and hereafter to be em- ployed in the Philippine Isiands, in Asiatic waters and generally in the Pacific Ocean, de- sires to Indorse the representations which have been made to your department by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce under date of April 16 last, and to most earnestly express to you the sentiment of this association and of this State generally that, owing to the nearness of Pacific Coast ports to the Orient and for the other reasons stated, it Is most appropriate and also in the Interests of economy that repairs to such ships should be made at such ports, so far as compatible with the requirements of the service, inetead of sending such ships to Atlantic ports for that purpose. The large navy vard at Mare Island, as well as the other existing facilities of this port, enable vessels of all classes to be repaired here expeditiously and with economy. as has been demonstrated heretofore, xnd 1t is the spirit of our local merchants and manufacturers, {f offered suffitlent _encouragement, to remain equipped and to hold themselves in readiness to supply material, etc., required in such repairs on short notice. X —————————— CHINESE SLAVES MAY BE ADMITTED TO BAIL Their Photographs Will Be Taken Prevent the Substitution Trick. One of the eighteen Chinese girl siaves captured by Federal officials in Sullivan Alley and Baker Court last Saturday will be brought before United States Court Commissioner Heacock this morning. Ap- lication for bail was made vesterday by amuel Shortridge. but Mr. Wood- worth insisted that the bail should be fixed at $3000 in each case, that being the market value of each slave. The girls are in the Presbyterian and Methodist Mission homes and will be kept there until their cases shall have been disposed of. Mr. Woodworth insists aiso that in case bail should be given for any of the girls the photograph of dgch one liberated should be taken beforefthey are released. so that the old trick of substituting a giri with a legal certificate may not be re- sorted to.
