Strong Protest Is Made to Judge Dunne, Who Re- plies in Kind. | Robert L. Galley and James Roberts were tried before a jury in Judge Dunne's court yesterd ent to commit robbery. g for some time, reported after | a disagreement, anu the Judge discharged | them. The defendants were accused of attempting to rob George Dillistone on nnie street on the night of November Z ey had about half an hour before held ert N. Clothier on' New Montgom- . near Annie, and have yet to be tried on that charge. After reporting the disagreement E. L. sident Crockett re- | Marshall, tne foreman, handed the Judge | the following protest: We, the panel jurors of this honorable court, | respecttully enter @ protest against being hud- | dled in a small cubbyhole for a jury room. Our deliberations cannot be Kept secret, as we are compe'led to open the ventilators, and as & conse uence our discussions cannot help but be heari by those passing along the cor- ridor. We :hink our quarters should be con- demned, and toder the cubic air law woul be. In the axt place we have no toilet a commodations. e are of the unanimo: opinion that our present quarters are unin- habitable and respectfully request your Honor to bring the matter before the proper authori- ties in an endeavor to have these defects rem- edied at the earliest possible date. Judge Dunne made the following reply: I can only say, gentlemen, in reply, that I have endeavoged for the last eighteen’ months to obtain proper accommodations, and I think your statement here is a sufficient answer to those people who have believed that my dwn conduct was due to an obstinate feeling against coming here at all. That is_quite untrue. I have at all times been ready to come here to this bullding if they would give me the proper accommodations. The jury is entltled to the same accommodations as the District Attorney or the court. They occupy the same | position as the court in a way, since they are | the judges of the facts in every criminal case, | ana their position and jurisdiction, so to spe | 15 co-ordinate, and that being the case th are entitled io proper accommodations. Kor | such accommodations I have insisted, but it | | appears that a higher power has overridden | me and has compelled us to accept insufficient | and inadequate quarters. I am glad you have seen fit to make this protest, as I think it | may be followed by a correction of the abus or at least I hope so: I trust, however, gen- tlemen, that no want of accommodations will prevent us from doing our whole duty. GERMAN RESIDENTS HONOR POET GLAUCH | Distinguished Writer Is Given a | Warm Testimonial at Metro- politan Hall. The testimonial given in honor of Her- | mann Glauch, the distinguished local poet and artist, by the German residents under sociation of California attracted a large and cultured audience to Metropolitan Hall last night. | “Glauch’s genius is generally recognized, not only among the German population of the city, but throughout the entire Union. Recent misfortunes which overtook him prompted his friends to tender him a com- plimentary benefit, and the great response indicates to the full the high esteem which he is held. A choice musical programme was ren- dered. There were addresses by Dr. Franz | Kuckein, Charles Bundschu, Wilhelm Zimmermann and Professor Hugo H. Sehilling of the State University. Several of Glauch's poems were read by Clemen- tina Schnabel and Gertrude Joseph. Pr fessor E. Werner was organist. Several selections were rendered by the singing | of the Oakland and San Fran- | rn Vereins.

MONEY FOR ONE Injunction Suit Against { Auditor Argued Be- fore Cook. Riordan Says Schmitzism Promises’ to Be Worse Than Phelanism. The case of Quinn versus Baehr, in which it was sought to restrain the Aud- itor from drawing and auditing salary de- mands for Powel Fredrick and his dep: tles of the clerical force in the Justices' Court, was argued in Superior Judge Cook’s court yesterday morning on de- fendant's demurrer. Judge Cook took the matter under advisement and will render his decision to-day. Judge Cook will, 1t is belleved, decide of the Justices' Court and hence entitled to the salary of the office, though tne de- fendant entered the piea that the plamntitt was not entitled to bring action ana that therefore the temporary injunction should be quashed. He may also decide whether Fredrick is legally appomnted chief cierk— entitled to hold office until the Supervisor: | shall elect a chief clerk to fill out the un- expired term. A. Ruef appeared as associate counsel for Auditor Baehr, W. H. Cobb, Baehr's attorney, being present in court but not participating in the argument. Thomas D. Riordan appeared tor Quinn, who is & clerk in Riordan’s office. Ruef opened his argument technical objections to the suit. tended f.rst for action, with the He con- that the pliiu- i« had no cause ince as a taxpayer his intec- ot directly concerned. If the itor should choose to recognize Fred rick’s right to the salary he would not recognize Windrow's claim, The courts would recognize one or the other as the | de facto chief cierk, and one salary would be paid. If Baehr should audit the illegal claim he would be responsible to the other claimant. In either case but one salary would be paid, and the taxpayer, Quinn, would not have his /burden of taxes in- | creased in the least, nor would other of his personal or property rights be affected. whether Fredrick is de facto chief clerx | @ Some Extraordinary Saturday Salzs will bs announced in Saturday morning papers 22 Sale of Pictures. worth 5oc each, at the special priceiof 5 45 ol o Tk with a 23{-inch margin.

Ruef made the further point that the | posed upon the Auaitor, his duty being | simply to audit demands, and since ths | petition for the injunction asked that | Baehr be restrained from “drawing th demand” such jnjunction would not re: strain the Auditor from auditing Fred- | rick’s demand drawn by some official oth- er than the Auditor. In support of Kis Judge Cook asked that heard on these technical points before Ruef should proceed. Riordan cited the decizion of the Supreme Court in Morton vs. Broderick, the famous Supervisors' | case, in which it was held that the court ! | has a righ to decide upon the title to the | office, which Ruef had denied in his ope ing statement. Judge Cook said,he had asked for argument upon the two techni- im, and 72 California, 517. | Riordan be t | | cal points advanced—that Quinn had no cause for action and that the petition asked for an injunction restraining the Auditor from doing something not im- posed upon him by law, namely, the draw- ing of a demand. v, AS to that last point,” said Riordan, it seems 10 me the difference merely be- twixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. IDla\\'ing the demand does not mean the mere clerical work involved, but passing upon the claim and approving it.” As to the second point, Riordan argued that in the case of Winn vs. Shaw, §7 Cal- ifornia, the Supreme Court had decided that a taxpayer could bring action to re- strain illegal payment of money from the treasury: w5 Windrow No “Color of Authority.” Judge Cook stopped further argument | upon these points and told Jtuef to pro- ceed. Ruef argued as follows: { It is admitted by plaintiff that Williams has | 10 title to the office. The contention then 1y | between Fredrick and Windrow. The question | arises, has Windrow any ‘‘color of autnority": for being the de facto chief clerk? indrow, it 1s claimed, was ‘‘elected” by the Justices of the Peace under the section of the charter | \:‘hlr‘h your Honor in his instructions to the | Grand Jury held to be invalid, H Granting that the charter provision is valld es had the power of orig- | inal appolntment, Windrow's appointment was | iliegal, since nowhere are the Justices glven | power to fill a vacancy in that office. If the office is a charter office, the Mayor is glven | Under_your opinion to the Grand Jury, your Honor, Windrow cannot possibly figire in this case, and filings with him are not legal. My contention is that Fredrick is not only the de facto but the de jure chief clerk as well. The Mayor is given power to fill ya. cancies and while this office is created by the State law, it Is municipal in functions, and its | Powers can be established by charter., The law abhors a vacuum, as nature does, and courts invariably hold that one contest- ant holds the office de facto. Now the whole time except one day involved in this suit was prior to Windrow's alleged election. Fredrick performed the duties of the office, and after two days Williams ceased to appear or t® pre- tend to perform the duties of the office. Since Fredrick preceded Windrow as the de facto | chief ‘clerk Windrow could not become de*facto chief clerk. _ Until such time as the Supervisors may act Y VAV 2 A N7 A T on the Justices' recommendation and elect ‘Windrow there can be no question as to Fred- rick’s right to the salary. If the Supervisors should take such action, then it would become a direct issue between Fredrick and Windrow, Riordan_said that his case was based | upon the law, as stated by Judge Cook in | Is instructon to the Grand Jury, which practically all of the bar except Mr. Ruef thought was good ‘law. ‘‘His Honor's opinion would throw your case out of court,” retorted Ruef. Mayor’'s Use of Police, Riordan continued: Fredrick did not take office under the Mayor's appointment, but by force. - Notwith- standing the Mayor's expressions as to usur- pation of power by the. police during the re- cent strike, he sent nine burly policemen in to take forcible possession of this office. Fred- rick is not de facto chief clerk, but a bare, naked trespasser. Granted that there was a vacancy, we deny the Mayor's power to appoint. His power ex- -table perfection.

Keag‘nn | the California Medical tends only to municipal officers *‘not otherwise provided for in this charter or by law." It his power were not limited in these appoint- ments he could make a clean sweep in any municipal office, such as the Tax Coilector’s office, removing ‘‘for cause” and appointing men to his own liking. Such, indeed, has been declared to be the Mayor’s intention. We have heard much of Phelanism, but Schmitzlsm is Riordan asserted in conclusion that the Supreme Court had decided in Crowley vs. Freud that the Justices of the Peace and their clerks were county, not municipal officers, since they were named in the pleadings and by implication included in the decision. Ruef, in his closing argument, said that Fredrick had not taken possession by force, but had forcibly held the office for one day against armed intrusion. DECIDES NAIL CLEANER IS NOT DEADLY WEAPON 4Is Dismissed by Judge Ca- baniss. Dr. T. L. Keegan, aqecent graduate of College, appeared before Judge Cabaniss yesterday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The complaining witness was Ernest Gray, a student at the college. The evidence showed that last Tuesday Dr. Keegan entered the waiting-room at the college, part of which is used as a pharmacy, and saw Gray talking to 'a woman patient. Keegan remonstrated with him and told him he should know that students had no right to give medical advice. Gray retorted that he had as much right as Keegan and attempted to eject him from the room. Keegan drew a small nail cleaner out of his vest pocket and cut Gray on the thigh. Gray weighs about 190 pounds and Keegan about 110 pounds. The Judge’ dismissed the case on the ground that Keegan acted in self-defense and further that such a small instrument duty of drawing demands was not im- | first contention Ruef cited 46 California, | Men’s Fedora Hats cne.quarfer off—Our regular extra value, $1.85 Fedora Hats, in all widths of brims, choice. of blacks, browns, $7.39 Boys' Golf Caps—1I fancy and plain mixtures, 14c Tapestry Porfieres 75 pairs Tapestry Portieres, 3 yards long, fringed top and bottom, colors red, . green, $1.83 25 pairs heavy Tapestry Portieres, 3 yards long, 5o inches wide, fringed top and bottom, double $3.17 Grocery Bargains First Big Hosiery Sale 1902.

Kauffman was alone, and as he was acting suspiciously Chief Lang- ley sent one of his men to arrest him. In some way Kauffman learned that he was being shadowed and managed to elude the officer who was detailed to watch him. Last night Captain_Seymour received ositive information that the man seen in /ictorla was Kauffman, the mendicant, who accompanied Woods, Goucher and the rest of the murderous gang to Cypress Lawn Cemetery on the night that the brave policeman was shot and killed. Kauffman, it is said, was the “lookout’ for the gang, and after their failure to crack the safe in the office of the super- intendent of the cemetery he walked with Robinson and killed him. After the shoot- ing Kauffman, it is supposed, went to Seattle, and from theré téok a steamship to Victorfa. » The officer who first saw him notifled the Chief of Police, as he was not sure that he was the right man. By the time the Chief had arrived on the"scene the suspect had eluded the officer who. was watching him and was supposed to be'en route to Vancouver. The police of the latter place were told to be on the look- out for him, but they failed to get a trace of the fugitive. f " Captain Seymour is satisfied that the man who was seen in Victoria is the much wanted murderer. He has sent a complete description of him to the Chiefs of Police of Victoria and Vancouver, with instructions to do all in their power to ar- rest him. It is belleved that if Kauffman is caught he will tell all he knows about the murder of Policeman Robinson. Free for Children.

The meetings will be held at the headquarters of the Young Men's Christian Assoclation, at Mason and Ellis streets, and will be open to the public. e A leading figure of the coming conven- tion ‘will be Dr. Samuel Smith, D. D., of St. Paul, who has been invited to attend and make addresses.- He arrived here Wed- nesday and is at the Pleasanton Hotel with his wife. In an interview yesterday he sald he had made a study of charity work’ for several years, and that in his opinion America in certain branches is far ahead of any olhe}!’: clount!‘y in the manner of dispensing charity. Dp: Smith says that a peculiar fact is that in -the. slums of this country the death rate is not higher than it is in the more fashionable districts. On the other hand, in the East’ End of London, where: he spent several months, he found that the rate was seventy to the thousand, while in the swell part of the West End of London the rate was only eighteen to the thousand. ) Dr. Smith thinks that the coming con- vention will be of -great benefit to the ‘community, as at all previous meetings that he has attended he“has found that different views were expressed by all the delegates, and in this way new ldeas were formed.

The ninety-third anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was commem- orated last night at Lincoln Hall, in the Ploneer building, by Lincoln Post No. 1, Department of California and Nevada, of the Grand Army of the Republic. The hall was filled with veterans of that and other posts and members of their fami- Hes. The hall was tastefully decorated in the national colors, and the programme was entirely patriotic in character. The fea- ture of ‘the programme was a_eulogy of Abraham Lincoln by United States Dis- trict Attorney Duncan A. McKinlay. The address was a masterful effort, and many af the comrades remarked that never had they listened to a more eloquent tribute to the martyr President. Bugle calls, by Monroe J. Orr, was first on the programme. Introductory remarks were. made by Commander George T. Johnson. Comrade Willlam A. Treadwell rendered the national airs on the organ, and . Willlam M. Ogilvie sang “Give Us Just Another Lincoln.” After the oration by Mr. McKinlay, C. H. Blank gave a violin solo, accompanied by Mrs. Seal. Miss Esther Macomber re- cl’(ed “The Battle of ‘Woodhaven,” and was compelled to respond to an encore. Mr.. Ogilyle sang another tenor solo, 'The Old Flag Forever.” Mrs. Mary Paro- ‘lini gave a recitation, and in response to an encore related a story of Lincoln. “America’” was sung by the audience, and the sounding of taps closed the pro- gramme.
