THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1901. (o] 11 FAVORS THE WHIPPING POST FOR BRUTES WHO BEAT WOMEN Prosecutor Leach Is Wroth When Mrs. Latrille Refuses to Testify Against Her Husband. AKLAND, July 12—“If I had my way the whipping post should be used, with all the public disgrace and physical punishment its ser- vice involves, upon such men as this who beat frail little women, particu- larly their wives.” Such was Prosecuting Attorney A. P. Leach’s recommendation before Judge Mortimer Smith in court to-day when the case of Jean Latrille, charged with beat- ing his wife Louise, came up for trial. The prosecutor was wrought up to a high pitch of indignation because he was com- pelled, under the laws of the State, to e Sum— o 3 corsent to a dismissal of the accusation against the prisoner. Attorneys had gained the wife's refusal to prosecute, and as she was the aggrieved party the pros- ecution had to be abandoned. “Your Honor,” said the Prosecuting At- torney, “I am compelled reluctantly to give my_ consent to a dismissal of the charge.” I 'reiterate that the whipping post is_the proper thing for a man like La- trille. I cannot understand the caliber of character in a burly fellow like this who would strike a little woman, especially his wife.” “Of course, In a case of this kind,” com- mented Judge Smith, “it would be impos- sible to convict this' man so long as the wife has been induced mnot to testify against him. And it is unfortunate that she cannot be compelled to give evidence. Under these circumstances I can do noth- ing but dismiss the case. Latrille will pay the costs of court.” But there was_trouble ahead for Mrs. Latrille. She had refused not only to te tify but had refused to obey an order to come to court. His Honor delivered a lecture upon her action and ordered the recalcittant wife to pay a fine of $10. The Prosecuting Attorney took one more fling at the case, saying: “T would remark in conclusion that this proposition of wives rushing into_ court for protection from brutal husbands and then walking out with them arm in arm | is becoming very tiresome. I warn you, | Latrille, if you ever strike this little we man again I will see that you are prose- cuted to the full extent of the law, no matter what excuses may be offered for your conduct. This business of wife-beat- ing has got to be stopped, so far as my powers can reach the trouble.” . 4 MUST CONSIDER ORINKING TIME Brewers and Employers Cannot Come to an Agreement. e i = How much time may a brewery work- man consume in drinking beer during his bours of employment, is one of the most important qu to be settled before Monday between the Brewers' Protective Association and the members of Local nion No. 7 of the National Union of the United Brewery Workmen of the United States.

The principal points of difference are in clause 3, the employer claiming to have “‘the right of selection from the list of all employes out of employment,” instead of accepting any one whom the secretary of the union might see fit to send. While it is agreed that eight hours shall constitute | a day’s work, and the employer agrees to furnish all the beer free that the men want to drink, the emplovers claim that the time so consumed shall be worked out between the hours of 7 a. m. and 6 p. m. Another bone of contention is in clause 11, regarding strikes. As no agreement could be reached between the committee from the union and the representatives of the Brewers’ Association, the latter caused the following telegram to be for- warded: J. Zorn and C. F. Bechtold, secretaries Na- tional Union of the United Brewery Workmen of the United States, Nos. 1314 and 1316 Wal- nut street, Cincinnati, Ohio: Our contract with Local Union No.'7, N. U. of U. B.

MOHR, Secretary Brewers' Protective Association. While the representatives of the Brew- ers’ Unions claim that the eight-hour day has been granted in all the large citles of the Coast, Secretary Mohr of the execu- tive commiitee of the Brewers' Protec- tive Association says that all these con- tracts are contingent upon the signing of the agreement in this city, the other points of ‘difference being the same. | | | A PROSECUTING ATTORNEY WHO, FAVORS WHIPPING POST FOR WIFE-BEATERS. PISTOL HISTENS THEIR MARRIRGE | Prospective Mother-in- Law Early Asserts Her Authority. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 12 Mrs. A. Bayles of Sunol waited outside the County Clerk’s office all the afternoon with a revolver under her shawl, accord- ing to the story told by Frederick J. A. Jones, the young man whose marriage to her daughter Esther, who kept vigil with her on the curb, she was there to witness. Finally the expected son-in-law, who is a young West Oakland railroad employe, hove in sight and after a short conference with Mrs. Bayles went inside to take out a license. The Clerk informed him that an elderly lady and a young girl had sev- eral times inquired for him during the afternoon, after having sent several tele- grams asking whether he had secured a | license. | “Yes, I found them all right,” said | Jones.” ““Did she show you the gun she’s got under her shawl “Gun?”’ No, what’s she got a gun for?"” “Why, it's two feet long,” said the hap- py groom-elect. According to Deputy Clerk McKillican, who made out the li- cense, Jones then made a lengthy explan- ation of the unusgual circumstances sur- rounding his defection from the ranks of bachelordom. From his story it appeared that during his visits to Sunol as fireman on the railroad he had met and became engaged to Esther J. Bayles, a charming miss of that place, but that a misunder- standing arose, which broke off the match. The mother determined that a re- conciliation should take place, and threat- ened dire punishment as the alternative, In this dilemma, said Jones, he resolved | to sacrifice pride and allow inclination | and necessity at once to rule his course, | explaining that he really wanted it that way all along. . Jones took his license and joined Miss Bayles and her mother outside; the trio went across to the Courthouse and were married in the Assessor's private office by Deputy Assessor Van de Mark, who 18 an ordained minister.

A number of guests on the lower floors succeeded in groping their way downstairs in the smoke and “escap- ing with nothing but their night clothes. Scores of others were rescued from the upper windows, where the panic-stricken guests shrieked for succor and threatened to jump to the sidewalk below. At this hour it is impossible to state whether there has been any loss of life owing to the confusion. At 3:15 the firemen were still rescuing half-suffocated guests from the upper stories but were unable to get inside the building on account of the smoke. The fire is apparently under control, but the smoke is very heavy and nothing is known as to the condition of the guests in the inside rooms, of which there are a great number. :M“nu##&#“W;u tTHB DAY’S DEAD.

Wade, a Western Union operator, residing at 781 Pine street, was arrested last night and charged with car- rying concealed weapons. The arrest was made at the instigation of Wade's neigh- bors, who informed the police by tele- phone that the operator was creating a disturbance in the neighborhood. Officer Herlihy was sent to Wade's resi- dence shortly after the message was re- ceived, but Wade was away when he ar- rived. Mrs. Wade told the officer that her husband had been- at home, and showed numerous bruises which he had inflicted upon her in a fit of jealous rage. ‘Wade had also bitten his wife in his un- governable fury, burying his teeth in her face and neck. Officer McShane was notified to watch for the jealous operator and when he 2. . | made his appearance to arrest him. Wade remained away for some time.
