Seal of Internal Revenue Col- lector Is in Outside Hands. Through the vigilance of John B. Sher- rard, clerk in the office of the United | States District Attorney, the existence in unauthorized hands of a Government seal for Chinese certificates of registration was discovered yesterday. The discovery led to the arrest of Wong Chock, allas Ah Kee, a highbinder employed -recently in the Alaskan salmon canneries. o Several months ago Wong got into a dispute with one of his countrymen in Alaska and shot him with a Trevolver through both lungs. Wong and his wound- ed victim were taken into custody as soon as they arrived in this port, Wong on a charge of an assault to commit murder, and the wounded man to be detained as a witness for the Government. After both men had been kept in jail about three months, and the Alaskan authorities hav- ing shown no disposition to prosecute, the men were released, the wounded man being given the certilicate of registration that was found on him. Clerk Sherrard suspected something wrong with the Wong certificate, which was in the name of Ah Kee, and refused to deliver it pending his investigation. Yesterday Wong called at the District Attorney's office and was at once put under arrest. Original Photograph Removed. Mr. Sherrard had found that the ori, inal photograph which had been attached to the Ah Kee certificate had been re- moved and a new photograph pasted on. Then the seal of O. M. Weiburn, U. 8, I half on the photo and the remainder on the face of the certificate. The marks of the old seal had been carefully obliterat- ed, and a hot iron had been used to re- move the marks of the embossing. The substituted photograph was clean and evi- dently had not beed on the certificate for more than a few months, the paper being white and unsoiled and showing no stgns of wear, making the contrast between it and the certificate itself all the wmore glaring. Sent Certificate to Be Fixed. David D. Jones, thexChinese and Welsh interpreter for the United States District Attorney, questioned the prisoner closely and obtained an admission from him that he had sent the original certificate to his | cousin to be “fixed,” the old photograph | having become very much worn from be- | ing carried in the pocket since the date i of its issuance,, which was April 7, 193 It was issued in Sacramento by H. Byingten, Internal Revenue Collector. Wong stated further that the certificate with the new photo and seal mark had been returned to him by his cousin, whereabouts unknown. Only a week ago a box containing the last, or what is supposed to be the last, of the old Welburn seals, was returned to the office of Internal Revenue Collector Lynch from the deputy in charge of the internal revenue office in Los Angeles. The deputy explained in his letter that the seals had been lying around in a box in his office for several years, that he had no.place in which to keep them securely and he therefore sent them to Mr. Lynch. { ELECTION OFFICERS GIVE THEIR TESTIMONY Contest Recount in Supervisorial Marking of Ballots.

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 2.—Deputy Sheriff Charles Slankard of this county returned from 'Bisbee. to-day, having in custody Mrs. Jane Ingersoll, accused of being a party to the murder of her hus- band on the desert this side of Agua Caliente Hot Springs several weeks ago. Frank Cline, now serving a sentence in the County Jail for misdemeanor, is ac- cused of having been the woman's ac- complice in the crime. About three weeks ago the remains of a man were found on the desert. The clothing and some pocket. articles were identitied as having belonged to J. E. In- gersoll, who disappeared some months ago. Previous_ to the finding of the re- mains Frank Cline left here In company with Mrs. Ingersoll, taking with him two ‘horses belonging 1o a Flagstaff man named Jones, which were in his pasture. The. fleeing lovers were located in Tuc- son and Cline was brought back on the charge of horse-stealing. This was not proved, but he was sentenced to sixteen days in jail on a lesser charge. Then came the discovery of Ingersoll's remains and the supposed 1devtification at once threw suspicion upon Cline and Mrs. Ingersoll. Some time elapsed be- fore the woman's whereabouts could be discovered, but she was eventually found n Bisbee, being employed there as a do- mestic. Mrs. Ingersoll, when arrested, said she was ignorant of the charge, but she faces a serious array .of circumstantial evidence. She came to Phoenix without protest and says she believes she will be able to produce her husband alive in court, claiming to have been in his com- pany in Wickenburg since the date of the finding of the remains. She says he went from there to Mojave to work'on Senator Clark's new railroad, Cline, when told of the latest charge against him, was greatly agitated, but de- nied any knowledge ‘of the Ingersoll death. She claimed that Ingersoll was recently in Los -Angeles. L e s ] ] GROGERY HOUSE 10 CLOSE DOWN | Lebenbaum & Co. Will Retire From the Local Field. The well-known grocery firm of L. Le- benbaum & Co., 222 to 224 Sutter street, will shortly go out of business and its large stock is to be acquired by Goldberg, Bowen & Co. The retirement of the firm Lebenbaum & Co. will be learned with regret by the community, as it has al- ways enjoyed great popularity. The reason for the winding up of the affairs of the firm is that L. Lebenbaum does not feel that he is able to continue the business owing to increasing years. A few months ago his brother, S. Leben- baum, died and the third partner, Jesse Meyerfeld, is desirous of retiring when the partnership expires in a few months. The lease of the store on Sutter’ street also terminates shortly.c Jacob Goldberg, president of Goldbers, Bowen & Co., and Hugo: Keil, vice presi- aent, were seen yesteraay and stated that their firm would shortly absorb the bust- sald: “We have not tried to secure the busi- practically thrust upen us. L. Lebenbaum was formerly associated In business with me and we have always been the best of friends. The death of his brother was a great 10ss to him, and his partner, Meyer- Teld, dges not wish to longer remain in the grocery business, which is a very taxing one. This would leave Lebenbaum alone and he does not feel like carrying on the business single handed or look for | other partners. He offered us his -busi- ness, and though I tried to induce him to continue, he has firmly made up his mind to retire. Our firm then decided to accept his offer and the deal will soon be closed.” Hugo Kell, vice president of Goldberg, Bowen &-Co., stated that his firm would carry on the business of Lebenbaum & Co. for some months, but that when the lease of the Sutter-street store expires the patronage of Lebenbaum & Co. will be transferred to Goldberg, Bowen & Co. In speaking of the matter, Keil said: “Lebenbaum will remain with our firm, as he s very popular and has a large ersonal following that is most valuable | n business. All the employes of Leben- baum & Co. will be given positions by our firm."” L. Lebenbaum has been a prominent fig- ure in the commercial life of San Fran- cisco. In 1873 L. Lebenbaum and Jacob Goldberg bought out the old grocery firm of Kroning, located on Kearny street, which was established in 1850. The new firm was styled L. Lebenbaum & Gold- berg. In 1881 the firm acquired the busi- ness of Bowen Bros., taking C. R. Bowen into the partnership.” The firm name then became Lebenbaum, Goldberg & Bowen. In 1885+ the partnership was dissolved. brother on Sutter street under the name of Lebenbaum Bros., while his former partners continued as Goluberg, Bowen & Co. In 1891 the two firms were consoli- dated under the name of Goi.verg Bowen & Lebenbaum, continuing until 1896, when the partnership was dissolved. Leben- baum & Co. resumed business on Sutter street, the firm conslstlng of L. Leben- baum, S. Lehenbaum and Jesse Meyer- feld, while Goldberg. Bowen & Co. was in- corporated. The officials of the latter firm are: Jacob Goldberg, president; Hugo Keil, vice president; George W, Whitney, secretary and treasurer, and Charles E. Burton, assistant secretary. The firm has three large stores in this city and one in Oakland. RUSSIANS ARREST AN AMERICAN STUDENT ST.

OAKLAND, March 25.—The Oakland Transit Company now holds franchises that parallel the local lines of the South- ern Pacific Company in every direction. The action of Town Trustees of Berkeley in granting this company a serles of street privileges for its electric cars gives the company the last links that are nec- essary in its chain of roads that is to cen- ter at the terminus of the California and Nevada Railroad at Emeryville. The most valuable franchise granted Jast night is that from East Berkeley sta- tion, paralleling the present steam rail- road operated by the Southern Paciflc Company along Shattuck avenue, follow- ing the steam iine in the curve down Ade- \line street .to the boundary of the town. ‘A short franchise is needed through Oak- land and through a small corner of Emeryville, and the Transit Company will then have a line from all parts of Berkeley directly to its proposed ferry at Emeryville. Tre line down University avenue is only a local line that will accommodate the two ends of Berkeley, but has no direct connection with the proposed ferry. The line up Hearst avenue and along Euclid avenue is to give better facilities to this rapidly growing section, and the San Pablo avenue extension is to meet the franchises that were granted in Contra Costa County some time ago for a line to Point Richmond. These franchises are now in the possesion of the Oakland Transit Company. The Berkeley Trustees imposed a condi- tion that all the lines proposed be com- pleted in two years. _The Oakland Transit Company and the Oakland and East Side Railroad will soon be in a position to compete with the Southern Pacific Company in every sec- tion of Oakland, Berkele{{. Alameda, Fruityale, San Leandro and Haywards. It was_thought that the %realesl difficulty would be in securing the Shattuck ave- nue and Adeline street franchises. These having been granted, little opposition is expected to the other pieces that are wanted in Oakland and Emeryville. e «Californians in New York.

DOSEVELT WILL (STUDENTS MUST |COLLING LOSES FICHL SIGNET| ~ AGNINGT WIDOW| DELIVER OMATION| BE VACCINATED| ON TECHNICALITY Twenty-Five Cents Be- tween the Banker and Victory. - Judge Greene Denies Him a ‘Writ of Mandate for a Subpena. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 2. Twenty-five cents, or rather the lack, of it, stood between D. Edward Collins and victory to-day in the mandamus proceed- ings he brought against City Justice John W. Stetson to compel him to issue a sub- pena directed to Editor G. B. Danlels, one of his opponents in the suit against the Oakland Enquirer. Victory had been flying about Collins® head all day, and Judge Greene seemed about to decide that his position was proper when lo! the opposition guddenly discovered that Collins’ attarneys, Messrs. Henry Ach and J. B, Richardson, did not tender the twenty-five-cent fee that goes before a subpena is issued in the Jus- tice’s Court and that an afirmative state- ment on this impertant point had not %\ieg been made in the afiidavits that were ed. Attorney Charles E. Snook made the most of this grave breach of legal eti- quette and soon had the wings of victomy hovering about the head of his client rather than that of Collins, and - Judg Greene decided to dismiss the aiternative writ of mandate, He dismissed it with~ out prejudice, however, so that Collins will have a chance to file new papers, which he probably will do in a day oF wo. The neglect to tender the twenty-five cents was not the only technicality that figured in this temporary defeat of Col- lins, though it was the most important. One other was that his affidavit failed to show that Justice Stetson had refused to issue any subpena, which it ought 1o have done in view of the fact that it had sald he had refused to issue the subpena for this particular case. Still another pin point omission was that the plaintiff had not said that the Justice refused to give any valid excuse for not issuing the sub- pena, These flaws Judge Greene said ne might have overlooked if the twenty-five cents had anly been tendered or some mention mage of it. Attorney ok let*Attorney Ach argue all day before he sprang any of these le- gal points on the court. Then when he saw that it was getting late he turned loose his acquaintance with the law and legal-proof papers and that put the prope osition for a writ of mandate out of busi- ness. Mr. Ach devoted most of his time to a dissertation on the meaning of the words “may” and “shall” in the legal sense. It seems that the law says a Justice or offi- cer of the court or ministerfal officer “may” or “shall” do a certain thing or take a deposition, which Is equivalent to saying that he can if he wishes, but if he don’t wish he needn’t. - Ach cited authori~ ties to show that “may” or “shall” al- ways mean must. Of course there were other seductive le- gal arguments that sound well enough to the practiced ear in the courtroom, but to the layman are quite enigmatical. These took another part of the day. Judge Greene was quite sure that Ach’'s position as to the meaning of the words “may’’ or ‘‘shall” was tenable, and he agreed with most of his other positions. He was certain that it was the duty of a Justice to issue a subpena. But he could not overlook those fatal errors in the con- struction of the affidavits on which the application for the writ of mandate was based. . “It {8 my judgment,” he sald, “that it is the imperative duty of a Justice to ls- ‘sue a subpena when he is requested to do so. He is a public officer and it is in- cumbent on him to discharge the duties that are imposed upon him. The law gives ltigants certain rights and states through what officers the rights may be secured, and the refusal of an officer to issue a subpera is a deprivation of thé rights of a litigant.” Collins’ attorneys were for making an- other application to-morrow, but later on they changed their minds and it,will he several days probably before thé battle for Editor Daniels’ deposition is renewed. AGED HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS WIFE'S COMPANION Bakepsfield Resident Wounds Man He Accuses of Wrecking . His Home. BAKERSFIELD, March 25—“Don’t run, wife, I'll not hurt you, but I wish I could get thaf man.” These werg the words of J. S. Ranous, an aged mah of this erty, just after he had fired three shots from his pistol at S. N. Harris, a veterinary surgeon, who, Ranous alleges, robbed him of his wife's affections and led her to sue him for di vorce on the charge of cruelty. The com- plaint was filed a few days ago in the uperior Court of this county. According to Ranous, who was arrested by Under Sheriff ;Francis Borgwardt and lodged in ‘the county jail, Harris has for some time past been meeting Mrs. Ka- nous. -The husband protested, but to no avail, and to-night, seeing his wife and the veterinary surgeon together, he fol- lowed them down Chester avenue beyond Eighteenth street. After walking to within a few feet of the couple he opened fire. The first bullet went wide of its mark and Harris started to rurd. 3 next bullet passed through the fleshy part of the fugitive’s right leg. while the third shattered the muscles of the left arm. Harris says that he met the woman ac- cidentally on the street. Ranous is a teamster, 53 years of age. Dr. Tagg: art says that Harris' wounds are not serious Mrs. Ranous will not talk of the affaif.
