The explaining how his zaid that between d installment suits he save a cent, while McKay, upon being asked what a French dinner consisted of,. replied, “Faith, nobody can tell but the cook.” The case opened promptly at 10 o'clock and E. J. Livernash, counssl for the car- | men, called upon Charles Eisenstein, a | conductor on the West Twenty-second | street line. Eisenstein is'a married man and has had his rent raised from $12 a| month to $15. He testified that the cost of provisions had gone up considerably in the iast few months and that, though | he was very cconomical, he was unable to put any mo: aside from his present | earnings of $250 a day. He_was formerly a commercial traveler in New York, but had 1o give up his position in the East owing to {il health. GROCER WEIGHS TOMATOES. He was followed by Fred H. Siebe, a rductor on the H. street line, living 1606 Grove street. ebe is a married | 1 and the father of three children. He found that bread was much higher and hat milk that formerly cost $150a month | he now had to pay $25 for. He sald he had learned the harness-making trade, but had to relinquish this kind of work, he could not be confined indoors. He reported for work at 6:56 a. m. and got through at 6;45 p. B. D. Whiting, a motorman on the Fill- moresstreet line and residing at 39 Wal- ler street, testified that he was single, but that he had to support his mother and sister on $260 a day. In discussing the prices of provisions, he said he had to stop taking fresh milk, as it was so ex- pensive, and used the ordinary condensed milk in cans. His salary amounted to | $52¢ a year and he found that he could not keep up his household for less than $60 a month. Recently, said Whiting, he bought five tomatoes from his vegetable man for 10| cents. He said that four of the tomatoes were as large as hen's eggs and that the fifth one was so big that the storekeeper weighed it on the scales and on second consideration gave him a smaller tomato. This incident aroused a hearty laugh in the courtroom. F. E. Robertson, a motorman, living at 9 Prospect place and working on the San and two employe furnished in ay 5 | pany | employed Mateo line, admitted that he was 45 | years of age and single, but that he =llll had hopes of getting married some B0 ot save mitihianbrer: e aiaibc that his day off cost him quite a little sum. Recalled by Livernash, he said he contributed 50 cents a month to the com- s hospital fund. RARELY EAT MEAT. John R. Price, a conductor on the Va- lencia-street line, living at 3706 Twenty- sixth street, took the stand. He had been y the company twelve years and besides a wife in ill-health had five sons to support. His rent has mnot been raised, but he found the cost of living much higher. -He said that owing to the advance In the price of meat he and his family rarely ate any now. They were also compelled to use condensed milk, in- stead of fresh. clothing he sald he found that instead of paying, as formerly, $1 75 for children's shoes, he now had to pay $2:25 for them. He earned $2 65 a day and lost very lit- tle time on account of sickness. He had no trade, but when living in New York worked for a while as a life insurance solicitor. Edward C. Snow, a motorman on the Tenth and Montgomery street line, proved a mest intelligent' witness. He com- plained bitterly at what he termed “per- petual motion” while on duty. He ex- plained that under the new rule recently adopted by Manager Chapman a man was on 2 tension all the time he was on duty. He had to stop on both sides of the street now when he crossed a car track, and with hard working brakes, he was worn out when ‘through for the day. He was the recipient of a bonus of 20 cents a day for ten years' serv under ‘the oid schedule of wages, making $2 8 'a day, but after the strike under the new wage system he only made $2 65. He testified to the fact that provisions were much higher than they were a few months ago and that he was not able to save a cent of his wages. He was many years ago a fireman on a trunk line running out of Chicago, but came to California to enjoy | the climate. McMANN DEFINES TRUST. Edward Reynard, a.gripman on the Powell-street line and living at 1611 Ma- son street, was the first witness in the afternoon. He had worked on this line three years and a half. had | In discussing the price of | He stated that the e for his board | | and room had been raised from $20 to $25 a month after the recent car strike. He had mot bought any clothes recently, but had found out that the next uniform he | must buy would him $2, i $21, which was the price he paid f 1 Attorney Moore tried to pin n to the amount of money he had on deposit in the bank, but Robertson, in true Scottish manner, evaded the issue. In answer to the query, “Haven’t you $2000 in the bank?" he replied: “Indeed I have mot; If I had $2000 you Bt 1d not find me here.” He ea but | gone up, He was married 1 and had one bo, 4 years of age, he said. He moved Iz ptember into his pres- | ent home, where he paid a rental of $1750 a month. The owner of his late residence asked $18 a month for the house after he moved out, while he had only paid $16, but he could not swear’ that it had been rented at this figure. Reynard was sure that meat has doubled in price, and his laundry bills were more. He carned $265 on weck days and $240 on | For vears he was em- ployed v rodr in the engineering department of the Southern Pacific Com- pany and wa ured that he could go back to this kind of work any time. For. a while he worked as bartender and made considerable money acting as a broker in buying watches and jewelry for other peo- pie. He gave up this kind of work, as he was averse to drinking. William McMann, a conductor on the San Mateo line, earned about $802 a year. He sald he was marricd and had one child. His rent ®as unchanged, but he knew that the neighbors around him com- plained that their rents had been raised. He could not stzte whether clothes had as he had been unable to buy @ new suit for the last three years. Be- ing asked by Attorney Moore what he thought was the cause for the present high rate for provisions, he replied that | he thought it was caused by the trusts. McMann's definition of a trust was “a combination of capital to control what it wants.” Attorney Moore asked him if he did not think the average labor union was a trust, but before McManm could reply Livernash interposed an objection to any more discussion on the trust ques- tion.

Lup- swer before the Superior Court by Police murder, without bail. On the night of April 15 he held up James Gilleece, an aged saloon-keeper. on Eleventh street, near Market, and shot him in the thigh. O'Netll is an ex-convict and was an asso- ciate of the Nolan gang of thugs. The Judge was afraid that he might make a ! break for liberty while in the courtroom | and instructed the bailiffs and other of- icers to keep a sharp eye on him. | “Mrs. Etta Fitzgibbon was held to an- | swer by Police Judze Mogan on a charge of assault to murder in $2000 bonds. She | shot Joseph A. Gagen in her rooms at §73 Market street on May 3 and for a itme it was thought that Gagen would not re- cover, but he was able to appear in court erday and give his testimony. He aid that after Mrs. she kissed the revolver and said: “Ah my beauty; you'are my baby.” She claimed | that Gagen was trying to forcibly enter her apartments when she shot him. | George Hyde and Thomas Enright were {held to answer by Judge Mogan on a | charge of robbery in §2000 bonds each. In | the early morning of June 9 they are al- | leged to have held up Daniel J. Sheehan, a machinist, living at 3A Cleveland street, nd robbed him of $50 at Sixth and Minna streets. Policeman Krueger heard Shee- | han's cries for help and chased the two | defendants along Minna street and down | Fifth to Howard, where he overtook them, and, with the assistance of a i leman employed in Gus Lindauer's | stables, placed them under arrest.
