STRATTON, Collector of the Port of San Franclsco, yes- terday appointed Cress Unger chief clerk in the Custom-house, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of E. B. Jerome. In making this | appointment the Collector respected civil | service requirements. Unger has been 1tw‘enl3'-slx vears In the Custom-house, | and much of his time during late years | | | was passed in the office of the chief clerk, | where he acquired knowledge of the im- | portant duties that he is now expected to | perform. He is courteous and obliging {in demeanor. Unger's promotlon from seizure clerk, a position that commands a salary of $1600 per annum, to the chiet clerkship, with a salary of $4000 a vear, is quite an advance. There is no sure | thing, however, that the compensation | will not be diminished. In recognition of Jerome's special qualifications the salary | attaching to the- chief clerkship was raised from $3600 to $4000 per annum. | Other changes in the nature of promo- | tion follow the advancement of Unger. | Ellis H. Holmes is assigned, at his own request, to_ the formerly held by | Unger. Holmes was recently offered they place of acting deputy collector, with a salary of $1600 per annum, but he signified | a preference for the position of seizure | clerk at the same salary. Thomas J. | Barry, one of the most popular men in town, has been appointed acting deputy collector, and D. J. O'Leary, president of the Young Men's institute, has been as- signed to the ical position formerly heid by Barry. O Leary has been serving as inspector at the Mail dock. The sal- ary of the clerkship in the office is not quite as good as that which he has been receiving as inspector, but the comforts of the new place will offset the reduction. | 3. H. Witty, assistant welgher, has been promoted from a position paying $1100 per | annum to a place worth $1200. Thomas J. Coffey was appointed elevator conductor, the compensation being $600 per annum. Place for Colonel Babcock. There is a berth somewhere in reserve | for a good man from Alameda—the ofiice | holders’ paradise. The position may be called discharging inspector, assistant | storekeeper or guardian of the Golden | Gate, buc whatever it is, or by what name {1t may go by, Colonel Babcock is slated | for it. Babcock is not seeking the office, | but the office seems to be seeking him.

When Senator Perkins and Representative Metcalf decided that Colonel Fuller could not be removed, a dead set was made by Cal Ewing to se- cure Babcock’s appointment master of Alameda. The fact was then revealed that Postmaster Lydecker solid with the powers, and a break was suddenly made in another direction to un- cover something for Babeock. All sorts of suggestions were made for taking care of him. When Jerome died, leaving the chief clerkship vacant Babcock was at once listed as a candidate to fill the va- vancy. At first blush one is inclined to fancy that Colonel Babcock is the most persistent _and insistent office seeker in the wide West, but the truth is he holds the modest little office of Court Commis- sioner and is not making special effort to get anything else. It happehs, however, that the politiclans across the bay have it in mind that Clarence Crowell, chair- man of the Alameda County Republican Committee, must be appointed Court Commissioner, and in order to carry out the design are seeking for a place in which to put Babcock. Indications are that Babcock will get something in the Custom-house, and that Crowell will get the office of Court Commissioner. The settlement of this agitation will afford re- llef to Senator Perkins and Representa- tive Metcalf. The Oakland Postoffice. It is common gossip that Perkins and Metcalf have agreed to recommend Tom Dargle for Postmaster of Oakland, but the fact comes to light that Postmaster Friend is making strenuous effort to re- tain the place.

Indictments were returned yesterday by the Grand Jury against Frank Morrisey | and Thomas Flynn, who are accused by Mrs. Mary Kilbotirn of having made an attack on her some weeks ago while showing her to a car line in the Mission, | and also of robbing her of her jewels. | Mrs. Kilbourn, who is a well knownir resident of Santa Rosa, went to visit the mother of Morrisey and claims that she took the wrong electfic car. While cross- ing sgme vacant lots to reach the home of Mre. Morrisey she fell down a railroad | embankment and was severely shaken up. On reaching the Morrisey home Mrs. Kil- bourn was given a drink of whisky, and young Morrisey and his companion Flynn Yelunteered to show her the way to the car line she should take to return to town. ‘While conducting Mrs, Kilbourn to the car line the young men, it 1s alleged, took her .into a vacant shanty, attacked her and robbed her of her diamonds. On complaining to the police KFrank Morrisey, Martin Flynn and Thomas Crouch were_arrested and given a hear- {ing before Judge Mogan in the Police | Court. Mrs. F ourn’s friends assert that if- fluence was brought to bear on behalf of | the accused men and Judge Mogan dis- missed trem. In disposing of the case Judge Mogan characterized Mrs. Kil- bourn as a woman addlicted to the use of Hquor and not to be believed. He em- phatically asserted that the accused men jeft his court without a stain on their huracters. “Phe action of Judge Mogan was brought to the attention of the Grand Jury and that inquisitorial body spent considerable time in taking testimony in the case. The Grand Juryeyesterday appeared be- | fore Superior Judge Cook and returned indictments against Morrisey for attempt- ed assault and robbery, and an indictment for attempted assault was retufned against Flynn. Judge Cook ordered the indictments placed on the secret file until the accused men were arrested. Bail was fixed in the sum of $5000 on each indict- ment. ————— Can Act as a Grand Juror. | Thomas P. Woodward, recently appoint- ed a member of the Board of Education, Wil continue to serve as a member of the Grand Jury. Woodward was in doubt as to his right to serve on the Grand| Jury and at the same time hold a munici- pal office. He therefore sent a letter to Scperior Judge Carroll Cook asking his | opinion. When the Grand Jury reported vesterday Judge Cook explained the law and informed Woodward that holding of- fice might act as an exemption from Grand Jury service, but did not dis- Gualify him from serving. LICENSE COLLECTIONS FOR | JANUARY SHOW INCREASE | Iickel-in-the-Slot Machines and Sa- loons Add Largely to the Rev- enue of the City. The amount collected for licenses by Tax Collector Smith for January was $74,798.50, the largest collections for any month since the charter went into effect, and $15,421.75 more than was collected in the month of January, 1901 The principal increase was in the nickels in-the-slot machine licenses having been paid for over 1900 machines, almost dou- ble the amount collected before. A large number of machines, now that license col- lections are enforced, have been sent to the country by the owners. The number of new wagon licenses werfl 150. There were 1200 saloon licenses is-! sued at $21 apiece, amounting to $25,200, and slot machine licenses netted $17,330, a _total of $42,580. Licenses to carry deadly weapons were issued at the rate of two a day during January, 1902, thers being %00 now out- standing. . S Mong different licenses applied for was one for ‘‘an exhibition of trained chickens,” which, on investigation, proved to be ‘cock fighting. From attle, Wash., came an inquiry from the “Can- non Ball King' asking what amount of license would have to be paid in order to enable him to make a living catching cannon balls at the Cliff. He was re- ferred to the Coroner. A deputy sent out to round up the fortune tellers reported great destitution among them, they ask- fag for exemption on the ground of large families and small income.

Eugene and Harry Campodonico, broth- ers, who were charged with assault to murder, appeared before Judge Mogan yesterday. E. Castagnino, 519B Montgom- ery avenue, was the complaining witness. The evidence showed that Castagnino had flagrantly insulted a sister of the two defendants on January 1, and when they met Castagnino in a_saloon at Stockton and Union streets, Harry Campodonico attacked Castagnino with his fists. Eu- gene Campodonico was playing billiards, and seeing his brother was no match for Castagnino, he struck Castagnino on the head with a billlard cue. Castagnino said in court that he did not care to further prosecute the case, and the Judge dis- missed them.

N5 ENDG LIFE JOHN J. MONE Attorney Is Found Dead in Bed in His Apart- ments. i John J, Mone, who will long be refmem- | bered as the president of the old Califor- | nia Baseball League, and who for over a | quarter of a century was a prominent fig- | ure in legal circles of this city, was found dead yesterday afternoon in his-apart- | ments at 320 McAllister street. Death was due to asphyxiation. Shortly after noon | one of the roomers in the house where | Mone fesided detected the odor of gas| issuing from Mone's apartments. The | door leading to the rooms was unlocked, | and when opened Mone was found dead in bed. He was undressed, as if he had | retired for the night. Gas was flowing into the room from two open gas jets. The friends of the old-time baseball pat- Ton are loth to belleve that he commit- ted suicide. They are of the opinion that he went to bed and neglected to turn off the gas and that during the night the light was extinguished by a sudden gust of wind. John J. Mone was born In Boston, April 7, 1849. He came to this city in May, 1364, to spend his school vacation with his pa- rents, who had settled nere several years previous. What was intended as only a month's visit was protracted into a so-| Jjourn for life. Shortly after arriving here | he engaged himself with Charles and Ar- thur Nahl, now deceased, artists who por- trayed ploneer scenes in California. After | a year's application to brushes, pencils | and palettes he gave up his study and | became identified with several debating | and theatrical societies which flourished | here in the old days and furnished amuse- | ment at the old Turn Verein Hall and| Platt’'s Hall. About this time he commenced the study | of law and entered the law office of Me- | Dougall, Sharp & Lloyd. Aithough the two | Senior_members of the firm subsequently died, Mone remained a clerk in Lloyd's office until about a year ago, when he commenced the practice of law for him- self. Up till about two months ago he had an office in the Clunie building. At the time of the reorganization of the Su- perior Courts of this city, Mone was | awarded the position of Court Commis- | sloner, which office he held until his death. | Jovial and generous, ‘‘Johnny” Mone | will probably be best and longest remem- | berad in his connection with early base- ball in California. He always remained a loyal supporter of the national game, | and nothing pleased him more than to | gather about him a crowd of friends and | recount’ the wondrous ability of the old | baseball favorites who used to play when | the Haight-street grounds was the Mecca of the people. i At one time Mone possessed considerable | money, in former times being a director | :'i‘l several railroads and other corpora- | tions.

A verdict in favor of Isaac Trumbo was rendered by Judge Hunt yesterday in the suit brought by Trumbo against M. M. Estee to recover $8000 on a note executed by the Hawailan jurist in 1398. Judgment was given for $10, which includes in- terest at 8 per cent per anuum since the date of the note. A similar decision was rendered some time ago by Judge Funt, but it was set aside on motion of Estee’s attorneys, who claimed that they had not been notified that the case was to come up for trial. Estee claimed that he agreed to give his legal services to the value of the note but this was denied by Trumbo. In the deposition taken at Honolulu, which was offered in evidence yesterday, Estee says he never received any consideration for the note. Continuing, he says: s Mr. Trumbo became financiaily embarrasse: and sought my aid. . Our relations han meec been of the most friendly nature and when he asked me to execute the note in suit to help him out I consented. He assured me that it would never come against me. Between Mr. Trumbo and me it was nothing more than an accommodation paper, and I wish to state fur- ther that I also-made a similar note in favor of Irving and Henry Scott for Mr. Trumbo, in order to relieve him. He came fo me and stated that the Scott brothers had issued an execution upon a judgment of theirs against him and had levied upon his paintings. . He complained bitterly and represented to me that he had conferred with the Scotts and they had agreed to take my note as security.
