The debonair heart-breaker, swindler and alleged bigamist was not at all de- pressed by the testimony introduced to prove his guilt, but, on. the contrary, seemed greatly pleased at the discomfiture his attorney, Frank J. Murphy, caused District Attorney Byington and the pretty Norine Schneider and her mother. Ethel Young, the Brisbane wife of “Sir” Harry, was not called as a witness, and it | is not likely that she will be given an op- portunity to testify unless he is indicted for bigamy. The prosecution was in hopes that Attorney Murphy would object to the testimony of Norine Scnneider on the ground that she was the wife of “Sir” Harry. Then the District Attorney would usher in Esther Young and prove by her that Norine Schneider was not the wife of the defendant, but that Miss Young was. Miss Young has a dark tale to unfold about the life of “‘Sir” Harry, but Attor- ney Murphy was shrewd enough to avold having it presented at this time. So the trial went on, with the unfolding of the oft-repeated tale of how Norine Schneider was decefved by a telegram purporting to come from her mother into marrying “Sir” Harry. \ % i ‘\ i 1 | Nz, | CEERAR — - MANIE SCrNETBER i THREE YOUNG WOMEN ENGAGED IN THE PROSECUTION OF IS NOW TRYING TO CONVINCE A JURY IN JUDGE LAWLO: FORGERY CHARGE AGAINST HIM. “SIR” HARRY WESTWOOD COOPER, WHO R’'S COURT THAT HE IS NOT GUILTY OF THE —— The forenoon session was devoted to_the hearing of the testimony of Theodore Kytka, a hafdwriting expert, of telegra- represents represents satisfaction, service it gives more Hundred and Fifty satisfaction or according than Three Cents.

In the afternoon Attorney Murphy was full of all Kinds of objections, and the court ruled in his favor generally. When the attractive Mamie Schneider was placed on the stand and asked about “Sir” arry’s statements to her sister, Murphy objected and finally convinced Judge Law- lor that the District Attorney was pro- ceeding irregularly to Drove the sending of a forged telegram. She was withdrawn and Mrs. Marie Schneider was called. The mother of the pretty Misses Schneider = denied having | sent or authorized any one to send the telegram that cavsed all the trouble and which read: “Nora Schneider—Do as Ernest tells you | at once. MARIE SCHNEIDER: Then the $250 diamond ring which St | Harry gave Norine prior to the sendin; of the telegram and which was relurneg to him when the falsity of his tales con- | cerning his vast estates in England were | learned by the mother was brought inte | question. Mrs. Schneider said the versatile “Sir” Harry had called it a dress ring. Attorney Murphy sought an explanation but could not fathom the meaning of the Auditor Files Annual Report. Auditor Wells filed his annual report for 1900-01 yesterday with the Mayor. The re- port shows that the demands outstanding against the various funds on June 30, 1900, | amounted to $534,401 71; demands audited, $5,635,644 77; total, $6,190,046 48; ~ demands g‘m, $5,6%4,094 03; ~ demands’ canceled, 38 93: demands 'outstanding, $4%5,513 47.

She told her tale of woe and the deceit prac- ticed upon her in a faint and hesitating Wway, and also insisted that the diamond ring was not an engagement ring, but was called a dress ving by *Sir” Harry. She denied having been engaged to the de- fendant, and was then tangled up consid- erably by Attorney Murphy. She was asked if she would marry a perfect stranger upon the receipt of a telegram such as the one purporting to come from her mother. She replied that she would rot. Then Murphy tried to have her ad- mit that her acquaintance with “Sir’ Harry had somelhing to do with her mar- rying him, but his efforts to get an intel- ligible answer proved futile. Murphy had objected throughout the hearing "to the introduction of all_tele- grams, especially the one reading, “‘Do as Ernest tells you at once.” He contended that this was a most harmless telegram and on its face showed no intent to deceive. Judge Lawlor thought otherwire and admitted it as evi- dence, The further he: continued until o'clock. ar(ng of the case was Friday. morning at 11 ‘Wants Actor Thompson Jailed.

GOLONIST RATES 10 BE RESTORED E. O.McCormick Returns From the East and Talks Traffic. Number of Large Conven- tions Have Been Secured for the Coast. SEPTEen Passenger Traffic Manager E. O. Mec- Cormick of the Southern Pacific Company has returned to the city after an absence of apout two months. When questioned yestdrday concerning the changes in the presidency of the company and the prob- able retirement of some of the lesser ex- he knew of the rumored changes was what he had read in the papers. In speaking of traffic matters in general Manager McCormick said that California resort as it is a winter one. People are beginning to appreciate the evenness of the climate of this State and to awaken to the fact that it offers as comfortable a refuge from the fierce heat of an East- ern summer as it does from the pneumo- He says that he s€es no reason why sum- mer travel in the near future should not fully equal the winter travel of the past. The Epworth Leaguers who have re- turned to their homes are loud in thelr praises of California, its climate, people and scenery, and they are doing much to advertise the Pacific. Coast .as an ideal place of permanent residence. 1n speaking of the other conventions se- cured for this State Manager McCormick mentioned the fact that the Southern Pa- ciic Company had secured the Episco- palians, who are about due here ana who expect to come about 7000 strong. Thne Women’s Clubs Convention has been se- cured for Los Angeles in May next. It wul bring about 5000 visitors 10 the State. The Mystic Shriners meet here next year and they expect a representation of over ¥000. The Knights Templar will hold their next triennial conclave here. This will not {ake place, however, untll “some_ time in All of those attending these conventions are representative, substantial citizens and will do much’ toward_the prosperity of the places they visit. Some idea may be had of the advantages ' that accrue from these immense excursions when one is told that at the recent meeting of the Mystic_Shriners in- Toronto the local banks did a business of $1,500,000 in excess of their usual amount. The recent meet- ing of the Knights Templar in Louisville brought over $500,000 to that city. Colonist Rate Advantages. The division of colonist rates between the transcontinental and Eastern lines has been satisfactorily settled and the same rates will prevail this coming se: son. ‘The exact date of these rates be- coming effective has not yet been settled upon, but it will be some time in the late fall or early spring. Last season over 20,000 people were brought into the State on these colonist tickets. It is not known how many of them settled here, but, as the tickets were all one way fares, it is a fair supposition that a large proportion remained here. The rates in question are $30 frcm Chicago, $25_from Omaha and Kansas City and $2150 from St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans. Agents and Their Territories. Manager McCormick gave out for pub- lication the following circular, issued by Traffic Director J. C. Stubbs. It is the result of the recent changes in the pas- senger and frelght traffic departments following the consolidation of the various offices of the Harriman lines . CHICAGO, August 20, 1901. W. G.

United States District Judge de Haven Gismissed the proceedings in habeas corpus Tuesday instituted on behalf of John F. Corriea, convicted recently in the Police Court of having had more than fifty wild doves in his possession on one calendar day. Corriea contended in his petition that that portion of the State game law was in violation of the consti- tution of the United States. Judge de Haven said that in his opinion the State law _did not violate the Federal constitution. He was of the opinion, how- ever, that the law was passed in the inter- est of sportsmen’s clubs and that the Legislature should not have passed it and the Governor should not have signed it, but as it was not in conflict vith the Fed- eral constitution he had no jurisdiction in the matter. ' Corriea was ordered re- manded into custody. e EXPERTS WILL VISIT GREAT REDWO0OD BASIN Commissioners and Appraisers to De- termine Upon Site for Sequoia Sempervirens Park. The Redwood Park Commissioners will go to the Great Basin in Santa Cruz County to-morrow for the purpose of looking over the basin and determining what lands are suitable for a Sequoia Sempervirens Park or reservation to be acquired by the State. They will be ae- companied by an advisory committee of expert timber men, including Hervey Lindley, General N. P. Chipman, W. W. Van Arsdale, Drury Melone and Robert Dollar. There will probably be no selec- tion at this time for the reason that no part of the $250,000 approprizted by the Legislature will be available until next January. ———— Dr. Voorsanger’s Lecture. Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger delivered last evening at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art his first of the series of free lectures now being given by the University of Cal- ifornia. The lecture was in the nature of a general introduction to those that are to follow on “The Literary History of the Old Testament.” The reverend gentleman cut away from the usual orthodox man- ner of handling the subject and gave an interesting narration of the law, the his- tory and tradition and the poetry of the Bible. The lecturer said that probably the greatest difficuity we have in_getting a clear understanding of the Bible Is caused by the fact that it is an Oriental work, written in an Oriental language and atmosphere, and comes to us, an Oc- cidental people, translated into an Oeccl- dental tongue, and that a literal transia- tion is therefore next to the impossible. The lecture was attended by a cultured and_ attentive audience. factors in public education too much cannot be said about this work of the university, and the large attendance and interest displayed promise well for the rest of the series. — et——————— Tracks on Illinois Street. The Southern Pacific Company notified the Board of Works yesterday that it will be unable to move its tracks to a position | about six feet west of the center line .of | Illinois street as required by the City En- | gineer in ordet to allow the completion iof the paving at Illinois and Napa streets. ‘The reason assigned is that if placed In such a position it_will interfere with the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railway Company in the construction of its tracks on Illinois street. The Southern Pacific Company requests that the Iocation of its tracks be not changed until arrangements can be made for joint use of the tracks by the two companies. E GRAPE-NUTS, pkg. . ... .
