Second, if the tes- timony does not warrant such conclusion and Mr. Erwin is found not guilty of participating in the alleged conspiracy at that time, does the testimony show that at some subsequent time Mr. Erwin, having learned of the um- jawful character of the transactions connected with the ordering of these devices as afore- said joined in the comspracy and participated therein, with the intent to defraud the United States? * Giving force to Mr. Richardson’s testimony Mr. Erwin’s explanation of the sizning of this peport by him under the circumstances stated and it 1s feared that many wrecks will be reported as the result of the gale. + BERKELEY PROFESSOR'S STRANGE LIFE AMONG THE CLIFF DWELLERS.

Thief Goes Through House Where Seven People Move Abcut. J s —_—— | Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, ! 2148 Center Street, Nov. 25. years, came upon a burglar at work in | | an upstairs room of his home at 2326 | Cottage avenue at 3:30 o’clock th‘. aft- {ernoon. The youth and burglar saw each other at the same time and each ' was o frightened for a moment that | he did not move. The burglar gath- ! ered his wits first, however, and hurry- | !ing to a window let himself down by means of the veranda uprights and | hurried off. By the time young Mor- | gan had alarmed the other ntembers of | the household there was no burgln.r in' sight. The burglary to-day was committed while there were seven people in the house. Mr. Morgan was taking a nap | downstairs, one of the three Misses Morgan was in her own room upstairs, and the other two were going about | downstairs, the two younger boys were downstairs too, attending to various duties. The Japanese cook was in the kitchen. Nobody suspected the pres- ence of a burglar in the house, particu- larly so soon after the robbery of a week ago. During the interval that the youth and the burglar stood eying each other, however, the youth was enabled to gather a good description of the fel- low. \ “He wore gold-rimmed eyeglasses, a brown coat and trousers, with stripes up and down and cross-wise,” said roung Morgan, “and I got a good look at his face, so that 1 think I would | recognize him If I saw him again. He | wore a red beard, but I think it was | talse because the rest of his hair was rown. He had a derby hat on his eadand white tennis shoes on his feet, { so that he wouldn't make any noise.” | The burglar carried with him when | he jumped out of the window a silver )\Aa(ch and a Berkeley High School pin, | { but in his dight he dropped the watch. This was afterward found hanging on a rose bush in the garden. So that all the burglar got for hig trouble was the pin. | *This is the second time the Morgan | home, of which George W. Morgan is the head, has been robbed within eight | days. A burglar entered the house last | Tuesday night while the family was at | dinner and carried away some $3800 | worth of \a luables. \ | PERSONAL MENTION. James L.

UNION PACIFIC MAKES SPLENDID SHOWING | According to Annual Statement the Road Earned Nearly Five Mil- | lions Net. | NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The annual | report of the Union Pacific Railroad for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, f issued to-day, shows gross earnings ot“ | $51,075,189, an increase of $3,574,909; op- i erating expenses, $28,747,216, an increase | of $3187,990; net earnings, $22,327,973, | an increase of $386,919, and a net sur- plus after deducting betterments and dividends of $4,942,474, an increase of $627,514. The report says that increased wages, the greater cost of materials and sup- plies and the increased expenses which always attend a congestion of traffic such as existed last fall have added greatly to operating expenses. The es- timate for the replacement of the prop- erty damaged by floods amounts to about one and one-half million dol- lars. Although a considerable part of the damage was repaired during June and included in operating expenses, it was thought best to set aside out of the year's income $500,000 to complete the reconstruction of the property de- stroyed. ———————— Morrow and Barrett Are Free.

DGE CABANISS DIFFERS JU FROM OLDER THEORISTS Marks a New Era in Definition of Word Drunk, and Sentences Man Who Pleaded He Had Taken Only Twelve D nks| ‘When William Coffey was called be- | new development fore Judge Cabaniss on the charge of drunkenness yesterday morning, and the grresting officer testified that Wil- liam was disturbing the peace of pedes- trians on Kearny street, the defendant said he was perfectly sober. “I had &ly taken about a dozen drinks,” said defendant, “and that would even start me.” George C. Morgan, a youth of 12 I “It doesn’t particularly matter to me,” said the modern philosopher, “whether you had taken one drink or twenty. In | Police Courts we are greatly hedged nround by statutory provisions in dis- | position of cases. I believe the charge against you should be that of disturb- ing the peace. However, it would be exceedingly difficult and expensive to the taxpayers of this city and county ! to summon before this court all of the men and women you disturbed on Kearny street after you had taken only twelve drinks. Accordingly I will find you guilty of being drunk and commit you to the County Jail for three months. When a man has drunk too much he is drunk, and should realize it and find some place to sleep it off without annoying those who are more ‘ careful in their indulgences.” When aeons have rolled around and Mount Tamalpais has belched forth a volcanic flood on San Francisco to the obliteration of all its fair history, arch- aeologists from the new continents in the South Seas, searching for traces of the silk hat of former ages, may run | across the parched notes of Judge Ca- banisg’ stenographer and gain for the world a new ethical definition for the term “drunk.” Fred Martin, who lives at 2239 Mis- sion street, when at his usual occupa- tion limns out the figures of Cupids and angels on ceilings that are gener- ally viewed by the majority of man- kind through the bottom of a Beer glass. But beyond that Frederick has an ambition, as he told Judge Mogan vesterday. He is the inventor of a burglar-proof safe. Since 188§ he has been working during his spare mo- ments on the scheme. He has a safe planned, and through it thieves cannot break and steal nor moths corrode or | rust. But since he began his labors of ! invention the safe-breaking fraternity have been busy and have invented new designs for making wallpaper out of burglar-proof steel. Accordingly Mar- tin has sought out these purlieus of criminals to learn their secrets for many years, and every time he finds a L e e e ] A3K3 TREASURER 10 STEP OUT Sharp Letters Pazs Be- tween Carter and Kepoikai. HONOLULU. Nov. 25.—Governor Carter has reappointed L. Andrews as Attorney General; Alatau T. Atkin- son, Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, and J. H. Fisher, Auditor of the Territory. He has accepted the resig- nation of Edward S. Boyd, Commis- sioner of Public Lands, and has ap- pointed Assessor J. W. Pratt to Boyd's | post, and C. S. Holloway, Superintend- ent of Public Works. i Governor Carter will hold the written resignations of all the heads of depart- ments subject to his acceptance at any time, with the exception of Treasurer | A. N. Kepoikai, who did not resign when former Governor Dole was ap- pointed United States District Judge. Acting Governor George R. Carter re- cently addressed a letter to Treasurer A. N. Kepolkai, asking for an expres» sion of his views as to offering his res- ignation, in view of the change | in administration. Kepoikai's reply | was to the effect that he did not con- | sider that it was his duty to resign, hav- ing been appointed for a term of years, and that he intended to remain fn his office. Carter replied with a note as follows: “I have received your letter in re- sponse to my note of this morning, and I am exceedingly sorry that you have failed to prove a man of your word. I had every reason to expect from so prominent an Hawaiian, and one who had such a high standing among your race, that I could rely upon the state- ment, repeated twice to me, that it was your intention to withdraw and leave me free to work with such heads of departments as would work with me and in whom I could repose confldence. Such confidence is now out of the ques- tion.” Kepoikai replied with a letter in which he denied that he had made the promises to resign, referred to by Car- ter, and argued that there was no law or rule of courtesy requirfng him to tender a resignation. Kepoikai was for- merly a Circuit Judge on the island of Maui. He is sald to be backed in his [ present attitude by the anti-Carter fac- tion in Honolulu. An effort is being made by them to secure Washington influence against the confirmation of Carter. » ———e———————— BIDDERS DECIDE TO LOWER THEIR PRICES Offer Made to Supply Cement for clerk of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, on the charge of naturalization frauds. —_— - Mine Resumes Operations.

A short time ago the mine closed down because the process of smelting was ‘imperfect, but this difficulty has since been overcome. About sixty men are now at work. The mining company, which is composed of Boston capitalists, has expended about $250,000 in labor, furnaces and buildings. For two weeks the fur- races have been going and a clean-up will soon be made.

On the night of November 21, which was last Saturday, the inventor drew six days’ wages as| a fresco artist and went out in the by- | ways to find new criminals to gain in- | formation for the further protection of | his burglar-proof safe. On Kearny street, he said, he met three men whom | he knew for safe-crackers. In company with them he went to an opium place | at 522% Pine street, where he hoped to have them,divulge new secrets in regard | to electrical drills and other matters | that have followed in the wake of Crim-| inal scientific investigation. When he | came out of the hop joint several hours afterward he discovered that the sup- | posed safe-crackers also knew how to filch from a well-guarded pocket. He was a loser $33, which he had failed to | protect with one of his burglar devices. | He told a policeman his troubles and | the “hon joint” was raided. Charles Bacigalupi was the only one of the smokers whom the inventor could even | partly identify, and he was taken into | custody on the charge of robbery. | Judge Mogan listened to the story in extenso and intimated that the com- | plaining witness’ story ‘“sounded off- pitch to him,” and then drifted off into humming a popular tune. Bacigalupi's record will be looked up, and if it is not entangled with the criminal history of the world as set forth in the police records he will be told to go his way in the paths of rectitude. o e Judge Mogan stood forward on the outward battlements of his judicial castle yesterday and bawled a warning to those who take advantage of a party telephone line to abuse their neigh- bors. Emma Brandt was the defend- ant in the case and she lives at Jones and Vallejo streets. Whenever she found that Mrs. Whalen, who lives at 518 Vermont street, was trying to com- municate with the butcher, the baker or the candlestick-maker she would | pull the telephone off the hook and pour forth a flood of vindictiveness that would appal the Whalen house- | hold. From the testimony the Judge concluded that Emma Brandt was guilty, and he told her: “The mean- | est and most cowardly manner of rep- | aration is abuse over a telephone. The present charge against you has been proved to my satisfaction, but I feel that you are entitled to a postponement of thirty days. In the meantime if any | proof is presented to me that you have | resumed your abuse over the telephone | I will be compelled to inflict a severe | penalty.” | . g The preliminary hearing of Police- man Joseph Fell for the murder of his | father-in-law, Fritz Dirking, on the night of November 3, occupied the en- tire attention of Judge Fritz's court yesterday. Among the witnesses was a son of the slaughtered man, who tes- tified on cross-examination that he had secured a revolver and endeavored to kill Fell during the course of his inva- sion of the home. From the trend of the questions asked on cross-examina- | tion it was apparent that Fell intends to introduce self-defense as an excuse | for manslaughter. n.‘nwm l FOR WOMEN $500 WHO CANNOT BE CURED.
