The United Raflroads of San Francisco objects to a change of grade on California street, between Twenty-seventh and Thir ty-first avenues. It gives s a reason that its cars on this street are being operated by steam power and that its locomotives are not capable of doing effective work on grades that exceed 45 per cent al Finds Heaters Open in His Courtroom- Judge Mogan has under consideration the case of the bailiff who turned on the heaters of the court room yesterduy morning and closed all the windows while a hot sun was pouring through. Under the stress of public business, the Judge dropped perspiration all over his | blotters and after an hour of travail he | discovered the cause of his trouble. Then he ordered all the windows open and the heaters shut off. He will re- quire several days to look up the laws of the Justinian code and the Spanish inquisition (o find some fitting sentence for the bailiff whose blood grew cold and old under the sunlight. When the Judge discovers the proper remedy, a grinning head on the guillotine during the French revolution or an unfaithful Turkish woman, drowned with her gown wrapped tightly about her throat, will be & picture of merriment compa#- ed to the punishment he will mete out to the balliff. . s . “Beware of the man of one book"! ays Aristotle, the pioneer philosopher nd vegetarian. Policeman Joy does not read Creek in its raw state, so he disregarded the warning of Aristotle and attempted to arrest Julian Bonnetta because 2 man named Davis told him that the defendant had assaulted him with 'a knife. Bonetta appeared in Judge Fritz's court yesterday to explain his re- sistance to the due process of the law. He naively explained that when he had drunk a little good wine he was given to tell, in his own compo- sition, the tales of his own, loved Cor- sican hills. He said the policeman nad made a mistake. When he was arrest- ed, he said, he was depicting to a de- lighted audience of Italians, in a Ho- meric hymn, the tortures of a wronged lover. So strong, said he, was the Jdra- matic fervor that permeated him that when Officer Joy appeared to arrest him he thought he was a bandit from the mountains and struggled with h so vigorously that the policeman compelied to club him into subjection. Prosecutor Louis Ferrari, from the District Attorney’s office, gave the de- fendant an excellent character. After the Prosecuting Attorney had talked with him the prisoner produced a copy of the “Divina Commedia,” nearly every word of which he knew by heart. So much knowiedge was a vindication for anybody. When the weary grind of the court room procedure was over Judge Fritz had Bonnetta out of the dock to sing for him. Like Homer, whom seven cities owned after his death, thé mus. tached prisoner sang the glories of George Washington, the judiciary and the laws of the United States. Judge Fritz thought that San Francisco ghould have an exclusive claim on Bon- netta, so he told him to go out und work, admonishing him to declaim as little as possible to the disturbance of the peace and quietude of others. Pros- ecutor Fercar: assured the court that the prisoner could get a job at oncs, as he was a thoroughly reliable man. T Juvenal says in one of his time-over- powering satires that a man who is tricked once is a fool. The second time he is tricked he is a scoundrel. There is a team at the Orpheum doing a stunt at $11,000 a week or some such figure, in which the woman performer uses the same language. So down through the ages trickles the wisdom of the writers. Judge Mogan, who has not read Juvenal since his college days, had a case yesterday in which the com- plaining witness had been bunkoed for the third time. His name was A. Ar- Juck, which will naturally suggest “hard Juck.” He runs a grocery store at 1425 Fifteenth street, and had hired a solicitor mamed Willlam Robin. Twice the solicitor, according to his own admissions, sequestered the goods of the complaining witness, tied the horse and .wagon to a convenient lamp post and decamped with the proceeds. On the third occasion of this unseemly behavior the complaining witness had the defendant arrested. The case will D L e s D ] ] JURY AGQUITS -~ ACCUSED WOMAN Mrs. Drayeur Estab- lishes Her Plea . of Self-Defense. — GRAPE-NUTS. FEED HER RIGHT The Sure Way to Rear a Healthy Girl.

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 23.—Mrs. Sophie Drayeur of Healdsburg was to-night acquitted of the charge of murder after a four days’ trial. It was charged that she killed her husband, August Dray- eur, a winemaker of Healdsburg, by striking him on the head with a stick of stove wood. She established a case of self-defense. Assistant District Attorney Rolfe L. Thompson made the opening argument for the prosecution. He was followed by ex-Congressman John A. Barham and J. W. Rose of Healdsburg for the defense and District Attorney Charles H. Pond closed the argument. | In the morning Mrs. Drayeur was taken over the scenes of the tragedy, both by direct and_ cross examination. | She frequently cried during her recital of the events preceding the tragedy. She declared that she struck her hus- band a light blow on the forehad with a stick of stove wood, but that the force of the blow was insufficient to break the gkin on the forehad or leave a mark. Subsequently she heard Mr. Drayeur’'s body fall In the bedroom and then heard violent noises, as if furni- ture was being moved and broken, and also heard the crash of crockery. | . She testified to her fear of her hus- band, his repeated threats to kill her, and detailed how at one time just pre- 'JUDGE MOGAN SEARCHING .~ FOR ADEQUATE PENALTY and Windows Closed -Some Interesting Fea- tures of the Police Court Departments come up for further adjudication to- aay. PR e Three small boys, Thomas Burke, /| { Danny Williams and Thomas Gorman, have been stealing milk and bread from doorsteps. They have left the sheiter | of their parental homes, which, a cording to their testimony, are on Hen- | rietta street, and the three of them have decided to become bold, bad | “gazaboos.” Judge Mogan * adjudi-| | cated their cases yesterday and issued | | subpoenas for their parents to appear | | in court this morning and tell whether | the boys should be sent to a reforma- tory. & S Hugh Higgins came up for sentence | in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday. | Twice he had invaded the home of his | wife on Natoma street, the meager | comforts of which were created by her | own care and indulgence, and tried to| wreck the household when he over- indulged in drink. On the first occasion | Judge Cabaniss sentenced him to fif- | teen days in the County Jail. These | he served with due vigilance, and when | released he proceeded to remew his| iconoclastic work. Judge Cabaniss | gave him sixty days in the same resort on this latest occasion. As the defend- ant left the court room he requested the Judge to make due legal provision when he had served the sentence, as he wished to be protected against a | disturbance of the peace on the part| of his wife. “With the greatest pleas- ure,” said Judge Cabaniss in his suav- est tones. “My commitment to-day assures you absolute peace from your wife for sixty days. At the end of | that time if you are brought before | me again on a similar charge 1 shall | put you in a place for six months here your wife cannot possibly inter- fere with you unless she breaks down the doors of the cell. Adios.” . . William Simpson, who was accused of persistent begging on the streets by the arresting officer, found an old-time | friend in Judge Fritz. “Why, Judge, I knew you when you were & little boy in Sacramento. You played around my { knee.” Old home memories surged over | the Judge, like the sound of the sea in | | & shell, but he could not recall the face i of Simpson, who claimed to have pat-| ted his head in boyhood. ‘“Particularly | where do'you remember me in my boy- hood?” queried the Judge. “Why, you | were around the office of the Capital | Hotel in the old days,” answered the | defendant. Then Judge Fritz went into a trance. He recalled that Judge Con- | lan also called Sacramento his birth- | place and that the latter's father had run the Capital Hotel. Simpson had | come into the wrong court for tender | memories of childhood, and to-day will sentenced to do a sojourn at the | CBunty Jail. . . George F. Reed “butted in” and was | arrested for burglary. His case came up before Judge Mogan yesterday. The | defendant has been in the marine. ser- | vice of the United States for fourteen years and had a bundle of recommenda- tions that a hound couldn’t jump over. Then he told his story. While passing | along the street he witnessed a fight| between Messrs. Powers and Bailey in | front of Murphy’s grocery at 926 How- ard street. Mr. Powers rudely and vio- lently threw Mr. Bailey through the window. of Murphy's grocery. Bailey was erying for help, and the gallant marine climbed through the orifice made by the muscular efforts of Mr. Powers and assisted Mr. Balley to make his exit. Then the idea occurred to him that he should patrol the deck of the grocery to prevent a burglary. Policeman Desmond came along and, noticing the broken window, rapped on the door. “Come in,” said Reed, and | the policeman accepted the invitation. | Reed’s story struck the policeman as untruthful and he locked up the ma- | rine for burglary. Judge Mogan promptly dismissed the case with a feeling in his heart that a faithful ma- rine like Reed should have a gold medal instead of a commitment. THAOW PEPPER AND USE GLUB Man and Woman Make Attack on Dancing Master. ’ ————— Profegsor Waldron W. Anderson, a| dancln! teacher at Saratoga Hall, who | resides at 330 Turk street, received a | handful of pepper .in the eyes and a blow from a club on the head shortly | after 7 o'clock last night. According to the only witness, a man and a woman committed the attack and made a hasty escape from the scene. The professor knows who the guilty parties are, but evidently has good reason for maintaining silence. Anderson was walking on the east side of Hyde street, between Ellis and O'Farrell, when the affair happened. His eyes were fllled with pepper and a well-directed blow on the top of the head laid his skull bare. He immedi- ately shouted for help and Policeman John N. McGee, who resides in the neighborhood, ran to his assistance. | The man, crying loudly from pain, was | taken to the grocery store of F. Bab- horn and later to the receiving hos- pital. Anderson evidently seems to think that he deserved what he got, for, ad- mitting that he knows who the guilty rties are, he refused to aid the police in investigation and is eager to let the matter drop. The theory of the police is that there is some woman in the case and that the attack was one of revenge. What story lies behind will be suppressed so far as the dancing master is concerned. One policeman states that soon after HALADAD ST 5 TRARSFERRED Circuit Judge Morrow Decides Motions in Cases.

In the case of the Contra Costa Wa- ter Company vs. Horace W. Carpentier and Cortland S. Van Rensselaer the plaintiffs’ motion t0 remand the case to the State courts was denied. The motion was made on the ground that the Federal courts have not’jurlsdic- tion in condemnation suits not orig- inally filed therein. The suit was brought to condemn certain land in Alameda County for the purpose of a reservoir for supplying water for the city of Berkeley. Postmaster W.

The men had been drinking and it is claimed that the colored soldiers had been insulted and when approaching Van Ness avenue the car was brought to a standstill to allow the civilians to reach a place of safety while the dis- putants fought and scrambled and maimed one another. Corporal Hodge was cut across the arm, Private Ray- more’s lips were cut open and Private Robinson's ¢yes were closed as a result of terrific blows. In all probability there will be a full investigation of the matter by the mili- tary authorities. ——————— Noted Educationist Here. William Jones, M.

Local Inspectors Find That He Was Negligent and Culpable. i Captain James B. McIntyre, late of the South Portland, is out of a job. This fact was made public yesterday afternoon by Captains Bolles and Bul- ger, United States local inspectors, in an elaborate report in which they cen- sure the captain for his conduct on the occasion of the wreck of the South Portland and for having neglected to have fire and boat drills. For these of- fenses his license was revoked. The steamer South Portland was wrecked by striking upon a rock near Cape Blanca, Or., at 4:40 p. m. on Oc- tober 15, 1903. Eight passengers, nine of the crew and two stowaways were drowned. The opinion was written by Captain O. F. Bolles, in which, after summing up the evidence, he says: After careful consideration of the testimony in this case we are of the opinion that Captain Mclntyre was negligent and unskillful in navi- gating the steamer South Portland on October , : In running that vessel full speed and steering a course that would take her so near Cape Blanco in a thick fog; and when coming in the vicinity of so dangerous a part of the coast at Cape Blanco and Orford reefs, in not taking soundings more often and in not usirg the colored tubes instead of trusting to the length-of wire run out from the sounding machine, to get the depth of water. Also, after the ship struck and he found that the vessel was sinking and it was necessary to abandon her, that he did not stop the engines, call all the crew on deck and station them to the boats and rafts in charge of their re- spective officers and look cfter the lower end of the boat himself, instead of leaving the ship in the chief mas DID NOT DRILL CREW. Had_ he done so the boats would have pre- sumably got safely away from the ship, as from the testimony the wind was not high nor the sea rough, and the vessel did not sink for forty-five minutes after striking. More- over, we find that Captain McIntyre did not have fire and boat drills since Le took com- mand of the vessel; had he dome so thers would have been better discipline of the crew and they would have known thelr stations (which | from the evidence they did not) and be more skillful in handling the boats. ~For reason of | such negligence and unskillfulness as above | on his part as master of the steamer South | Portland we have this date revoked the license of Captain James B, McIntyre as master and pllot of steam vesseis. C. C. Bruce, chief mate was in charge of the bridge ‘when the vessel struck, but was steer- ing the course and running the speed as or- dered by the master, who had charge of the bridge forty minutes before. After the master left the vessel the mate was in charge with twenty people on board with one raft only. The first and second mates with the crew im- mediately went to work to construct a raft from the only material avallable left on the vessel: and had there been more time would have been able to build a larger raft, which would have been more buoyant or seaworthy and probably would have saved all the people left on board, as they wero mostly crew (three of the passengers having been drowned by the capsizing of the starboard boat). MATES ESCAPE BLAME. Owing to the position the mates were placed in by the master leaving the vessel as he did, and, although they may have erred in judg- ment in some ways, we do not blame them, as they succeeded in saving on the rafts the fwenty persons lett on board, five of whom, however, afterward succumbed to exposure. The South Portland was equipped with two liteboats and one liferaft, having in all a boat- age capacity of 550 cubic feet. Fight passen- gers, nine crew and two stowaways were lost. Twenty-two lives were saved. The vessel was valued at $35,000 and her cargo at $27,000. The inspectors also investigated the loss of the steam schooner Ruth in Fishermans Bay on November 11 at. 9 p. m. The testimony showed that the Ruth broke her moorings and struck a rock in that harbor and sank. The loss was $50,000. Captain E. Reed was in command. The matter was taken®un- der advisement. —_—e——————— RUNAWAY GIRL WILL BE RETURNED TO HER PARENTS Mamie Kinder to Be Sent Home by Her Uncle, Actor Saville.
