He appeared on behalf of his | mother and regaled the court and specta- tors with a description of the Happers- berger home life as he saw it. He said | that Dr. A. K. Happersberger, the de- | tendant, pinched his mother until she | was black and blue, beat her on occa- | sions and- once threw water on her. MOTHER TESTIFIES. H Mrs. Jane Hague, Mrs. Happersberger's | mother, added but little to her zrandson’s | testimony. - She admitted that she did not | know from her own observation that Dr. | Happersberger had beaten her daughter, but said she knew that he did not give | her enough to eat. R. G. Hague of 214 Turk street, Mrs. | Happersberger’s brother, testified that on | one occasion he heard his sister say to her husband, **Oh, you will kill me,” and heard the doctor say, with an oath, { ¥ He also tes- tified that once while he was visiting his sister he heard the doctor tell his wife to ‘g0 out and work for her suppei.

She only had one dress in all that time that I know of.” Miss Cook admitted that she had taken an occasional glass of beer with the doc- tor's wife, but never saw her drunk. JANITOR SAYS SHE DRANK. Daniel Freeman, the colored janitor of Dr. Happersberger's office, was the first witness introduced by the defense. His | testimony was as follows: | “I have known the Happersbergers for about ten years. I have.seen Mrs, persberger quite drunk frequently, have often purchased brandy, becr, ky and wine for her. She drank ail these liguors. She got so drunk on one occasion that when she went to use the telephone she could not, and very often appeared in the hallways of 41 Third street in a dicheveled and bedraggled condition.

Bunker, representativé of the Chamber of Commerce at Washing- that there is a persistent endeavor on the part of people from Seattle, Tacoma and other Puget Sound citles at the national ral advantages of California. He states that their clamorings are directed for the most part in the direc- tion of this State’s manufacturing facili- ties. The expense of coal as compared with current prices in Seattle is said to| be their most effective argument in favor of the investment of capital in the northern country. Bunker states that he is doing all he can to counteract these influences and to w that fuel oil is working a great change in this State for the benefit of manufacturing interests. He is of the opinion also that the public press and promotion organizations should exert themselves strongly along these same lines in order that Easterners may not of Washingto! —_—— HANGS HERSELF WHILE MENTALLY DERANGED | ‘nrother Returns Home to Find His! i Sister Dead in Basement | of Dwelling. | Miss Mary Hansen, who lived at 915 Fourteenth street, committed suicide | vesterday afternoon, by hanging. .Miss Harisen, who was 37 years cf age, came to | this country from North Schleswig, Ger- many, about sixteen years ago.

Mrs. Caroline Cavanagh, wife of William Cavanagh, foreman of the Twenty-eighth- street car shops of the United Ralilroads, in a complaint for divorce filed' yesterday, alleges that between dodging lghted lamps, pieces of cordwood and pitchers, and in making objections to her husband’'s alleged use of liquors, zhe has had little time in which to enjoy iife. Mrs. Cavanagh alleges that her husband commenced ill-treating her shortly after thelr marriage in 15%, when, she alleges, he struck her on the head with a pitcher, breaking it into small pieces and bruising her considerably. In August, 1899, she al- leges he threw a lighted lamp at her, ac- companying the missile with the remark, “You old thing, I'll kill you.” On the afternoon of March 30, alleges Mrs. Cavanagh, her husband flew into a rage because she asked him not to drink so much and threatened to kill her with a large piece of cordwood. He told her on other occasions, she alleges, that if she did rot like it she could get out. Cavanagh's wife alleges further that on May 30 of this year her husband kicked her in a most brutal manner, saying as he did_so, “There, you old devil, die.” Mrs. Cavanagh, according to .her com- plaint, is a refined and sensitive woman, and in consequence suffers greatly both mentally and physically from her hus- band's alleged abuse. N hs reside at 411 Thirtieth The Cavan: street. They have one child, a son aged 5 years.

George Schubert, a former soldler, has within the last few days displayed un¢ usual dexterity and daring in acquiring wealth by means of forged checks which he has passed upon a number of business men in the city. He was arrested yester- day by Detectives McMahon and Whitta- ker and booked at the City Prison on a charge of forgery. During his service in the army Schu- bert had become thoroughly familiar with the signature of Captain J. B. Keleher, paymaster, and a few days ago Captain Keleher notified .the police that certain checks drawn on the Anglo-Californian Bank in his name had not been signed by him, although he admitted that the forgery was a remarkably clever piece of work. Schubert passed: one of ithe forged checks for $175 on Edward H. Aigeltinger, the well-known grain merchant, and re- ceived from Aigeltinger $50 on account. Charles Capp, the receiver in the Riche- lieu saloon, cashed a check for $50, but re- tained $15 till the check was paid by the bank. Joseph Fetz, a_ wholesale liquor nierchant at Third and Mission streets, also had a check for $50 passed upon him and he gave Schubert the full amount. Schubert also went to the Burns baths on Grant avenue and had a bath, giving a check for $50 in payment, but the cashier only gave him a few dollars, telling him to return for the balance after the check had been cashed by the bank. All these checks, when presented at the bank, were declared to be forgeries. Captain Martin detailed Detectives Mc- Mahon and Whittaker on the case and they succeeded in arresting Schubert yes- terday. The detectives say that other bus- iness men are to be heard from and at present it is not known just how many of these forged checks Schubert has passed within the past week. Aigeltinger was the iatest victim, as the forged check was passed upon him vesterday morning. e e BAY TELEGRAPH CABLES NOT MARINE AFFAIRS Suits for Damages for Injuring Them Must Be Tried in State Courts. In the case of the Western Union Tele- graph Company vs. schooner Guide, United States District”Judge de Haven rendered an opinion yesterday dismissing the libel on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction over the alleged cause of action. After quoting several cases bearing upon_the matter the court adds: “‘Sée also Hughes on Admiralty, page | 179, where that author in discussing the question of jurisdiction .of - admiralty courts in matters of tort uses the follow- ing language: The line is frequently narrow between the navigable waters and structures bridged over them. Anything that is attracted to the shore, although the waterway be beneath it, is con: sidered as a mere projection of the shore, and torts happening upon such structures are not within the jurisdiction of the admiralty courts. This applics more especially to wharves and bridges, which are fixed structures. “In my opinion the same rule is ap- plicable to a cable with ends attached to the main shore and its body resting upon land under navigable waters. Libel is missed.” N The suit was brought to recover $3000 damages alleged -to have been inflicted by the anchors of the schooner upon the cable of the complainant, one end of which is connected with San Francisco and the oth® er with Oakland. — —e———— = Low Excursion Rates—11 Days’ Trip. $40 first class, including berth and meals, San Francisco to Seattle, Tacoma, Van- couver, Victoria, Everett, New Whatcom and return, allowing passengers ample time to go ashore arM visit the various points of interest.

Trerefore the braves left here with all the anticipation of enjoying a perfect celebration of the nation’s birthday.

Jim Wong, one of thedest konwn sport- ing men in the Chinese quarter, claims that he has been tricked into an obliga- tion of nearly $5000 by a clever scheme worked by the Yod Tong Lottery Com- pvany. He repudiated the debt, and now there is trouble in the air. The lottery company, which ig behind the man claim- ing the money, says it will force a pay- ment, and Jim Wong Is equaily positive | in his statement that he will not hand | over the gold. He has laid the matter before the tong to which he belongs, and before the dispute is ended it is expected by the police that rusty guns and hatch- | ets will be cleaned up- and brought into | play. The Yod Tong Lottery Company is one of the oldest established in Chinat@wn. 1t has been in operation many years and its owners have grown rich. Jim Wong, taking advantage of the concern’s pop- ularity, started what is known as a_sec- ond company. He issued tickets of his own, but paid on the result of the draw- ings of the Yod Tong Company. As soon as the original company discovered this, Wong says, it set a trap to destroy his siness. A ticket was purchased from Worng by one Yee Lip for $18%, and this ticket won $4750. The ticket won eighteen out of nineteen numbers marked, which is something phenomenal under ordinary ! circumstances, anl Wong makes the as- | sertion that the drawing was intentionally | arranged so as to,bankrupt him. He re- | fuses to pay the money, but Yee Lip and | the original company say that he will. | Struck Wih a Cleaver, Hundley Rider, a waiter in a restaurant | at 908 Kearny street, was arrested yester- | Gay afternoon by Policeman Nelson and | heoked at the City Prison on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Wright Ailen, a former colored soldier, was in | the restaurant eating a meal, when, he | alleges, Rider threw a knife at him with- out provocation and chased him out of | theiplace. While he was standing on the | sidewalk remonstrating with Rider Police- man Nelson came upon the scene. Just | then Rider made a rush at Allen, striking him-a glancing blow on the head with a cieaver, but did not injure him. —_——— Asks Grand Jury to Investigate. Mayor Schmitz yesterday requested the | Grand Jury to investigate the charges| that employes of the Health Department | were assessed a portion of their month's | salary to aid the board in its Itiigation to | prevent its removal from office. The Mayor filed the affidavits of two eém-| ployes-that-they contributed to the fund | and of John N.

His injuries were attendcd | to at the Emergency Hospital. No sooner | had Hall left the hospital than Joe Green- | baum, another boy, residing at 31 Fulton ' street, was-brought in suffering from a laceration and burns of the index finger of the left hand caused by playing with fireworks. * Dr. Leonard attended both sufferers. . —_——— Refuses to Reduce Bail. | An application was made to Judge Mo- | gan yesterday for a reduction in the bail of Mrs. Francisca Maria de la Guerra, the much-married woman charged with bigamy, but the Judge refused to do se. She 1s held in $2000-bonds or $250 cash. A writ of habeas corpus will be applied for or:.Monday for her release on lge ground that the complaint against her is sworn to by Wallace A. Fitzgerald, her husband, which, it is alleged, is not legal. ' INDIGTS SEVERAL True Bills Are Presented by Federal Grand Jury. Representatives of Wealthy Syndicate Accused of Subornation. The United States Grand Jury presented its final report and several indictments to United States District Judge de Haven yesterday afternoon. The - indictments were placed on the secret file. A new in- dictment was presented against J. M. | Engle, real estate agent; W. S. Lewis and . W. Lewis, lumber men, and A. W. Keddie, surveyor, charging subornation of perjury, in that they in- duced several persors to make false afli- davits_for applicaticns for timber lands in Lassen, Plumas and Sierra. countles. On the former indictment A. S. Parsons and Julen E. Pardee were also charged, but the indictment was found to be de- fective and was quashed. In the opinion of the prosecution this time the cases against Parsons and Pardee were not con- sidered eufficientiy strong to warrant re- indictment. H. C. Cullom, Special Agent of the Land Department, has returned from Sacra- mento after investigating alleged fraud- ulent entries for timber lands and has submitted his evidence to United States Attorney Woodworth. When the next Grand Jury is impaneled, which will be about the first of August, Mr. Woodworth will ask the jury to indict H. M. Van Arman, Silas Penry and others who are alleged to be engaged in a’conspiracy to use dummies in securing contro] of tracis ottGovernment timber tor lumber syndi- cates, Mr. Woodworth said yesterday that Agent Cullom had made out a good case against Van Arnam and Penry. Van Arpam was at one time Governor of Ari- zona, and Penry had been connected with the Land Office in Sacramento. Mr. Cul- iom claims.the dummies were taken into a room adjoining the office in Sacramento and there coached as to their affidavits. Then they were taken into the Land Office and after having filed their applications and afidavits were paid a certain sum of money for their services. A real estate agent named Summerfield and a laborer named Hill are charged with being mixed up in the scheme, but, it is said, as socn as they learned that what was being re- quired of them was unlawful they with- drew from the affair. It is likely that they will be used as witnesses for the Government.

The fourth annual contest for the Poni- atowski Cup for women will be played this morning on the links of Burlingame Country Club. Of the three previous win- ners of the trophy, Mrs. R. Gilman Brown and Mrs. Laurance T. Scott will be on hand. If either should win it this year the handsome silver cup will become her personal property. A new element, however, has been in- troduced into the contest by the entry of Miss Ruth Underhill, who won the wom- an’s amateur golf championship of the United States in 1899. Miss Underhill has been staying in Santa Barbara during the winter, but lately has been a visitor at Burlingame. It has been sald that Miss Underhill was brought into the contest for the Poniatowski Cup for the express pur- pose of beating Mrs. R. Gilman Brown and keeping her from annexing the tro- phy. It is, however, by no means In she can beat Mrs. Brown at medal play. In 1899 her qualifying score was 105 for 18 holes. Mrs. Brown is likely to do much better than this on the Burlingame links, her score last year having been %. —_——— BUNGALOW GIVES UP BODY OF A SUICIDE Policeman Meyer Mawes Grewsome Find Near the Conservatory in the Park.

FOEMER HAWAIIAN QUEEN IS JOURNEYING HOMEWARD Liliuokalani and Suite Arrive in City Satisfied With Work Accom- plished in Washington. Liliuokalani, who for a brief period weilded the royal scepter as Queen of ¢ Hawaiian Islands, returned from Wash- ington and the East yesterday and is reg- istered at the California Hotel. In her | suite are Miss Myra Heleluhe, lady-in- | waiting; Joseph K. Aea and John D. Al~ moku. S The former Queen’s mission to this country was to secure some action by Congress by which the crown lands of Hawaii might be restored to her. Senator Mitchell introduced a resolution in the Seriate, which adopted it without opposi- tion on June 25. This resolution provides for an investigation of her claims to the lands In question, and virtually recognizes her standing as former Queen of the is- lands anrexed by the United States. Hav- ing accomplished this work the Queen and her party are now on their way to the islands. The friends of Lilluokalani statedy ester- day that the former monarch is in th best cf health. She declined to see new: papar men, however, and denied herself to all save her most intimate friends. Her succession to the crown lands will make her a multi-millionaire. The party will sail for Honolulu on the steams.ip China next Tuesday. e ' Sierra Club Grand Canyon Excursion.
