Both before and after he severed his connec- tion with the army the reckless lieuten- ant kept his purse full by forging the pay accounts of his brother officers and | hypothecating them at the usual com- mercial rate of discount. Several of the forgeries were committed in Manila, several in San Francisco, one or two in Chicago and one in Washing- C. In each of these districts in- dictments will be preferred against him by the United States Grand Jury for the offenses committed while he was connect. ed with the army, and for the forgeries committed out the jurisdiction of the Federal courts he will be liable to indict- ment by the county Grand Juries The crime for which he is incarcerated in Washington is the forgery of the pay account for May, 1%3, of Lieutenant Claude E. Brigham. While in the military service he transferred his pay account for November and December, 1902, to Louis Silverman of New York, and presented duplicate accounts at Manila for the same months and drew pay thereon. He also presented the forged pay account of Lieu tenant W. S. Bowen of the Coast Artil lery for April, 193, and assigned it to Sil- verman. The account was paid by Colonel Dodge. The pay account of Bowen for June, 1%, he assigned to C. H. Morrell y 16 to secure a loan; also the pay | account of Lieutenant Bruce Cotton of the Second Light Artillery for May, 1903, which was paid by Major Payson. The forged pay account of Lieutenant Bruce Cotton was assigned by Hamilton to M r Hooper at the Occidental Hotel in this city. Hamilton also assigned the forged pay account of Lieutenant A. S. Fuger of the Artillery Corps at Manila to the E. A Armstrong Manufacturing Company of Chicago. All the foregoing forgeries are within the jurisdiction of the courts. The following are under the juris- diction of the State courts: He forged the name of Bruce Cotton to two notes held by the Security Loan and Trust Company, at 21 Stockton street, in this city, and received $445 for them. Lieuten- ant L. C. Hamming transferred his pay account for November and December, to Hamilton, who drew the amount, $233, from Captain Holloway. On Janu. ary 8 Hamilton forged a duplicate and drew the same amount from Major Hal- ford at Manila. When Halford’s account was received in Washington the forgery of the duplicate was discovered.

Claim Hamilton’s Long Service in Tropics Affected His Mind. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2.—Lewis C. Hamilton, formerly second lieutenant in the United States army, voluntarily re- turned to Washington August 11 last to answer charges against him of irregular transactions in this city. He has been in jail here since that time. Several siclans who have examined him be- lieve him irresponsible and will recom- merd his removal to the Government In- sane Asylum. A Washington boy, until recent months, led a most exem: plary life. His father, who died many vears ago, was employed under the Gov- ernment here. His mother is prominently dentified with the Wimodaughsis Society and is highly esteemed. Hamilton, who is about 24 years of age, was educated in the public schools of this city. When war was declared with Spain in 1888 he enlist- ed in the Signal Corps and rendered good service in Cuba. Then he was sent to the young Hamilton, | Philippines, where he served at varjous | posts, performing arduous work. Promotion came to him on his merits. He was appointed second lieutenant in the One Hundred and Twenty-second Company of Artillery and-ordered to Fort N. Y. Before he could sail from the Philippines he was transferred to the Twenty-fifth Company at Manila. | In December last, after having served five vears continuously in the tropics, he was expecting to be ordered home when he was transferred to the Tenth Company of Artillery, then en route to the Philippines. He resigned his commission and came to this country. His friends declare he was mentally un- balanced when he resigned as the result of long service in the tropics.

The Dornins were surrounded this even- ing by their children and grandchildren and their friends of the early California days. It was a reunion that was not strictly confined to the limits of the fam- fly. The five children were there—George | W. Dornin, president of the Oakland City | Council; John C. Dornin of San Francls- | co; Mrs. George G. Eldredge, wife of the pastor of St. John's Presbyterian Church of San Francisco; Mrs. Crayton W.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, Oct. 2. Superior Judge W. E. Greene to-day sustained a demurrer to the petition of certain citizens of Alameda for a writ of mandate to compel the City Trustees of Alameda to submit the applications of the Southern Pacific Company for franchises | to a vote of the people of Alameda before the Trustees should take action. “Halting, decrepit and not worth the | paper It is written on” is his Honor's | opiggon of the ordinance under which the petitioners sought to compel the Trus- tees to submit the propositions. According to Judge Greene the peti- tioners based their hopes on an ordinance that entirely misconceived the powers of a City Board of Trustees to elther dele- gate its powers or to bind a future board E by its acts. In giving his opinion he said: i “The Board of Trustees of the city of Alameda, under an act of the Legisla- ture, was given certain powers. One of these was to grant franchises. This power will stand =0 long as the statute that con- fers it. No board has the right to shear itself of any of these powers. The act of one board acting under the same rule cannot bind the action or curtail the powers of a subsequent board. The thing is an absurdity on the face of it and I do not belleve that any part of it is worth the paper it is written on.” Another alleged defect in the ordinance, which was discovered before the validity | of the question was gohe into, was the fact that nowhere did the ordinance pre- | tend to state when such an election could be called, or give a board any right to call an election. In speaking on this point | Judge Greene sala: ‘“‘There is nothing in the ordinance that gives the board the right to call such an election as you ask for. Any citizen could stop it. The only other thing that could be done would be to submit the question at a general election, now two years |away. There is no power in a city board to tie up the powers of a future board for two years and keep it from exercising the rights given it by the Legislature.' The demurrer to the petition was sus- tained and the injunction denied. On mo- tion the former order will not be entered for a week to give the petitioners oppor- tunity, if they wish, to see if they can in any way amend their petition. The matter came up to-day on the hear- ing of a petition signed by H. Rosenthal, H. A. Thompson, J. H. Houck and T. F. Baird, representing the Board of Trade of Alameda, for a writ of injunction to re- strain the Board of Trustees, consisting of Joseph F. Forderer, H. M. Pond, C. J. Hammond, B. C.

Galloup has been dead for several years, and it was not until this morning that the marriage notice was recorded at San Rafael. The contract was drawn up in Lorin and dated February 16, 1892, but was not ac- knowledged by a notary until NoVember 1, 1893, All these years the existence of the bank is a dressmaker, owning a little es- tablishment in Berkeley. She was ways known as Mrs. Burbank, never hav- ing assumed the name of her husband. ‘When interviewed to-day about the con- | tract marriage Mrs. Burbank refused to talk and said that it was nobody’s affair why she delayed until to-day in record- ing her marriage notice. “There is noth- ing to say,” she sald. “Mr. Galloup died several years ago and the affair was all | It is my own private busi- ness and I had reasons for not wishing it | to be known that the contract marriage existed.” Examigation of the records at San Ra- | fael shows that George W.

The con- tract is dated Lorin, Alameda County, 16, 1892, and it shows that it was acknowledged a year and a half aft-| erward, when it was agreed that the mar- riage took place on the original date. It is said that a marriage contract made at that time is not invalid, as the law per- mitting those marriages was not repealed until 185. L CITIZENS IN A FIGHT E. J.

A hot discussion as to the date | of the expiration of the lease arose be- tween the two yesterday. Last night Lane went to Blackman's house to secure the keys to his store. ! Blackman ordered him off the grounds and when he refused to go, Lane claims, struck him on the head with a bar of iron. Dr. J. H. Gallen dressed the wound, which was not serious. Lane swore out a warrant charging Blackman with as- sault with a deadly weapon. Blackman was released on 31000 bonds. The case was to have been heard this morning in Judge Geary’s court, but was postponed | on account of Lane’s condition. —_—e——— STEWART CONCERT IS A DELIGHTFUL SUCCESS Musicians Give a Programme That Brings Out Much of Melody and Skill | OAKLAND, Oct. 2.—The recital given this evening at the First Unitarian Church by the violin pupils of Alexander | Stewart was one of the musical successes of the season.
