It is to be a novel marine and socfal affair and | the list of participating' merrymakers is expected to be a long one. Numerous whaleboats, whitehalls and other small craft are to be brilliantly dec- orated with torches and Chinese lanterns, laden with jolly passengers and towed about the estuary in tandem style by a powerful launch. Musicians and singers ! will be distributed among the various | boats of the mosquito fleet and a band will discourse airs from the deck of the flag craft of the pleasure squadron. The string of little vessels will leave the landing of Captain Peterson's boathouse, at the foot of Twelfth avenue, at 8:15, and will crulse around the harbor for several | hours. Before returning to the landing | the excursionists will board one of the | large ships at present lying in the creek and enjoy a dance on the deck. Miss Clarice Graves and Miss M. E. Harrington are the promoters of the wa- | ter carnival. They have been kept busy | issuing invitations to the many who de- sire to take part in the moonlight festivi- ties on the water. P > 2 * SMOKE AND DRINK AND LISTEN TO PRAYER Westminster Archdeacon "Introduces a Novelty for the Workmen in the Abbey. LONDON, April 18.—“Smoking church services” are the latest innovation and promise to spread and attract many of those who habitually spend Sunday morn- ing in the yicinity of public houses await- ing the hour of opening those places. Arch- deacon Wilberforce of Westminster start- ed the movement during the present week. He invited the men who were fitting up ‘Westminster Abbey for the coronation to spare a part of their dinner hour to re- ligion, gave each man an ounce of to- bacco and told the men to come ing the service. The men were delighted by the ncvel proposition and have been assembling in the cloisters daily to the number of up- ward of 100. They join heartily in the hymns and Lord's prayer, occasionally taking a drink from their beer cans, though they invariably remove their caps and pipes during prayers. In the meanwhile, the abbey is rigor- ously closed to the public. This fact seems to have whetted the appetite of sightseers, who are resorting to all kinds of plans to obtain admission. The Ameri- cans are particularly eager. After being refused admission they flock to the United States émbassy and ask for the assistance of the officials. The latter's applications to the Board of Works in behalf of the American visitors are invariably met with the same polite but unalterable negative. Eastern Racing Results.

Accused Pays Into Treasury Fees He Collected From City. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 118 Broadway, April 19. County Assessor Henry P. Dalton must stand trial for the malfeasance in office charged against him,by former County Clerk James E. Crane. That much was decided to-day by four Judges of the Superfor Court sitting in bank—Judges | Melvin, Ellsworth, Hall and Ogden. They overruled Dalton’s demurrer to the com- plaint in all but one instance, and then ordered him to appear before them ‘next | Monday, when under the law he will be compelled to stand trial before the | court without a jury. The day began with the presentation of | Dalton’s counsel to sustain his contention that section 712 of the Penal Code, upon which Crane’s accusation rests, is uncon- stitutional in that it denies the defend- | ant the right of a trial by jury. This, he | claimed, was in conflict with the pro- visions of the State and the United States censtitutions. Replying to Mr. Fitzgerald Attorney de submitted a de- cision In a case similar to the one ‘at hand, in which the Supreme Court held that the lower court had not erred in de- nying the defendant a jury. In that case the defendant appealed on the ' ground that the proceeding against him should have been of a criminal nature. Mr. de Golia sald that section 772 wag found to be based on the constitution, which gives the Legislature power to designate how recreant officials shall be removed. The Legislature in its wisdom had seen fit in | this class of offenses to insist upon a surffmary removal without the interpo- sition of a jury. “This is not a case where a man {s de- prived of his liberty or his fortune,” he said. *“He simply loses his office, and if he is guilty of malfeasance it ought not to require a jury to decide whether he is guilty or not.”’ Abbott Attacks Complaint. The court did not decide this feature of the case at once, but left it open until later in the day. Attorney Carl Abbott then devoted himseclf to an exposition of the demurrer that had been filed in behalf ; of Mr. Dalton. He attacked the com- plaint because it recited more than one cause of action, and contained no ade- quate showing that the poll tax fees col-! lected by Dalton were not legally his. In reply Attorney de Golla said that the complaint might have as many causes of | action as necessary, as there is only one penalty, anyway, and in a crimnal pro- | ceeding it is different than it is in a civil one. It was only necessary to show that | Dalton was guilty of official neglect. The court adjourned temporarily to consider Mr. Abbott’s contention regard- ing the poll tax fees. After deliberation | Judges Melvin and Hall decided that they | agreed with the decisions of Judges Og- | den and Ellsworth that the fees belong to the county. i Following a desultory argument that occupled all of the latter half of the afternoon the Judges again adjourned to | consider the demurrers presented by the defense. Upon their return Judge Melvin announced that it had been decided to sustain one and overrule all the other de- murrers, some ten in number. | The demurrer sustained was fn regard to the approving of claims for books by the Assessor in favor of the Enquirer Publishing Company. It is charged in the complaint that Dalton !flVI'OVEd the claims, knowing that the books were not as represented and that they were charged $2 more for than permitted in the schedule. . Points Raised in Demurrers. The demurrers overruled had reference to the charge that the Assessor falled to account for certain fees that came into his possession, that he refused or neglect- | ed to turn these fees over to the Ticas- | urer as required by law and that he has since appropriated them to his own per- sonal use. The disposition of the demurrers was followed by a demand from the court | at Dalton plead to the charges against | him. He pleaded not guilty and demand- | ed a jury trial. The jury trial was de- | nied by the Judges and an exception was iaken by Dalton’s attorneys. The Judges decided to set the trial for next Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when they will sit again as to-day. Upon being asked what his answer would be Mr. Fitzgerald said that it would be an ad- | nission of nearly all the acts complained of in the complaint, but that it would contain a denial of any intent to defraud. | Just before the case against him was | Crod! takeh up this morning Dalton paid into ! the /County Treasury $4087 in fees that | Judge Ogden +eld in a recent decision he | js not entitled to. These fees were col- | lected from the city of Oakland for the | assessment rolls that were furnished it | by Dalton. Attorney Fitzgerald stated | this afternoon that the money was paid | in because no appeal will be taken from | the decision regarding them. The only sppeal will be from the decision in the polltax case. @ il @ DUMONT VIEWS: NERIL COURSE Airship - Inventing Bra- zilian Arrives in St. Louis., ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 19.—Santos Du- mont, the Brazilian aeronaut, accompa- | nied by Emanuel Aimee, secretary of the Aero Club of Paris, arrived in St. Louis shortly after noon to-day. He was drlven to the St. Louis Club, where he met | Charles W. Knapp and Nathan Frank, members of the special committee on the aerfal tournament and rules. From there the drive was resumed to the World's Fair site. After a view of the grounds the party entered the ad- ministration buliding of Washington Uni- versity on the World’s Fair site, and ascended the tower, from which they took a survey of the outlying country. Du- mont sald to-day: “At present I have no intention of building a machine for World's Fair con- tests. hen the time comes for the con- test I will hring ovef probably four or five of my best machines and the one best suited for the work will be entered. If the fair should be held this fall I would enter two machines, and next year I will likely have five or six.” The aeronaut says he will need the area of four city blocks square, sixteen in all, for his sheds and pncdee space. He stated that he would remain in St. Louls about four days on this trip and then go direct to London, where he gives an ex- hibition In June. After studyll the topography of the country cuenfifg.

AKLAND, April® 19.—Hermann Stein, a fighting mate of the fa. mous - Davy Crockett, was re- moved to-day from his hovel @ home near the Bay Farm Island bridge, in Alameda, to the Receiving Hos- pital in this city, where he riow lies at the point of death. The grizzled old warrior was discovered by his neighbors last night paralyzed and starving in the mis- erable hut that he has occupied alone for nearly a quarter of a century. He had been alling for some time, but with grim determination he refused to ask or ac- cept assistance from any person so long as he was able to help himself. The stroke of paralysis affected the old man suddenly and left him unable to move. Had not several residents in the vicinity, whose curiosity was aroused by the non- appearance of Stein about his cabin, vis- ited the place the stricken veteran would probably have died for want of food and care. Hermann Stein is 8 years of age and was born in Germany. He arrived in the United States when & boy and his love of adventure led him to Texas in 1836, during the exciting times when the sturdy Amer- @i PRINTERS TO ENJOY AN ANNUAL PICNIC Members of San Francisco ’.l‘yp&hum ‘Will Have an Outing on May 24.
