S DEFEND THEIR HUSBANDS WHEN LAWYERS ASK QUESTIONS Apartment House Melee Is Ventilated in Police Court and Connubial Loyalty Is One Striking Feature of Somewhat Bewildering Testimony Three young matrons strenuously de- | fending their respective spouses made | in the lacteal fluid, had stolen from -| @ refreshing feature of Police Judge Mo- gan’s matutinal soiree yesterday. The parties all dwell in an apartment- house at 2006A Howard street, and last | Sunday afternoon the domicile was the | scene of a fracas, in which unsavory language was freely interspersed with fistic As an outcome of the shindy Georgé Green, John Green and John T, Hooper were charged by Louis T. Williams with having, collectively and indiridually, assaulted and bat- tered him. prowess. In support of his accusation Williams | carried into court an eye much swollen | and heavily fringed with mourning. ndeavor to ascertain who inflicted the injury and the provocation that led to the assault was the begildering task cut out for the court, and after tack- ling. it for about two hours the Judge, was compelled to continue the case tili Saturday, by which time he hopes to have disentangled and straighte’ 2d out the conflicting mass of testimony ad- duced and sworn to by three husbands, “with no matrimonial tie. From what the court has already learned it is inclined to suspect that on last Sunday Mrs. George Green and Mrs. John T. Hoover went to the cor- ner grocery to purchase Saratoga chips, and.that while they were returning through the hallway of their common | residence’ Louis T. Williams poked his head out of the door of the room which he occupies with his wife and sneering- aid to the ladies, “Ha, ha; you've fter beer ggain.” Then Mr. Green asked Mr. Williams if he had addressed Mrs. Green in insulting tone, and Mr. entuated his confession by striking Mr. Green on the jaw. At this point of the narrative coherence becomes cloud- ed, but all the witnesses agreed that there was a mix-up, in which a razor figured, and that blows were freely in- terchanged between Mr. Williams on and George Green, his brother John T. Hooper on the other. een and Mrs. Hooper swore th: Mr throughou een and brother John were compelled self-defense to raise their handg and Williams was the aggressor the hallway John T. Hooper met her and In an insulting way dug his right into her left ribs; also, that in Sunday melee Mrs. Hooper rolled her eves and struck the witness ht punch upon the chest. While the exhibition of conjugal fe- licity was general, Mrs. John Green was the most spectacular in display of wife- ly devotion. When asked if she was sure she saw Mr. Williams strike her husband she enthusiastically answered: “Sure of it? Well, I should say so. elbow the b Wasn't I there—a Johnnie on the spot?” Again, when the Assistant District Attorney courteously asked Mrs. Green | if her husband had not struck Mr. Wil- liams while the latter gentleman was prostrate, the lady eved him withering- | 1y and popped the counter-query: Do you think my husband is a cow- ard like that thing there?” pointing to where Mr. Willlams sat nursing his bruised optic. “This is a case,” opined Judge Mo- gan, “that requires time to be slept over, reviewed dispassionately and de- cided intelligently. While the testimtony stands at the ratio of six to two in favor of the defendants, I will reserve my judgment till next Saturday.” And the trio of wedded couples went away arm-in-arm, while John Green looked comparatively unprotected as he sallied forth alone. Then came another apartment- house imbroglio to tax the patience and gray matter of his Honor Mogan. Joseph Inderbitzen was accused of violently assaulting George Guertr in a Swiss hotel at 4322 Mission street. “Where?” sharply inquired the court, when his clerk read off the lo- cation of the scene of strife. “At 48322 Mission street,” | peated. | “What on earth has broken loose | among the Mission boarders?” in- | quired the court. There was no reply, but the evi- | dence in the case clearly 'showed { what had broken loose in that Swiss | hotel. The inmates of the hostelry, | it appeared, were participating in a ! birthday party and to inject some nov- elty into the entertainment Mr. Inde: bitzen offered to wrestle any man { the house for drinks for the assem- blage. As the challenger was noted for athletic prowess his invitation was not accepted with any promptitude, and then, to prove his superiority in the art of catch-as-catch-can Mr. In- derbitzen grabbed an inoffensive mer- rymaker, nimbly tripped him up, vio- | lently cast him down and then pro- ceeded to demonstrate the utllity of a half-Nelson lock. At this juncture Mr. Guertr interfered and Mr. Inder- bitzen . resented the intrusion by springing to his feet, drawing a knife and smiting Mr. Guertr’s nose, break- ihg a small bone of that organ. Mr. Guertr had his nose in court with him and evidently carried the sympathy of a large majority of the witnesses, for most of them testified in his behalf and solemnly declared that the nose-breaking ended the fra- cas—that nobody attempted to mo- lest the assailant. As this preponder- ance of testimony failed to explain how Mr. Inderbitzen received a badly was re- as many loyal wives and a young man | | when the law Mrs. Williams, however, assev- | that her husband had been “picked on” by the three defendants and the other two wi and that on one occasion as she was passing along i | | ms replied in the affirmative, and | { | | t, and that Mr. Hooper, Mr. | | bruised eye and a deep cut in hh| head, the case was taken under ad- visement until December 5. There was no human kindness in the milk case that occupied the greats er part of Judge Conlan's morning session. Acerbity of manner and speech marked the attitude of the contestants and their respective coun- sel. A. F. Green had complained that Sam Lunt and A. F. Francis, dealers the Standard Milk Company eleven cans and twenty-one bottles, and John Cox was accused by the same com- plainant of having piifered from the same corporation one bottle box and three tanks, of the total value of $15. The case had been dragging through the court several weeks, but the ver- bal contention was waged as flercely | yesterday morning as if the cause were fresh and the parties inspired by new-born passion. After wearily listening to a repeti- tion of the arguments“the Judge sent the defendants to the Superior Court, with the bail of each fixed at $1000. There are chances in a and lot near will be grieved to learn that the chief promoter of the scheme, one Edwin Solomon, formerly a tailor, was yes- terday adjudged guilty of alding and abetting a lottery, and that their in- vestment is illegal and will be utterly worthless unless Mr. Solomon refunds the money they paid him. It was a clever scheme of the get- rich-quick species that Mr. Solomon conceived and had in active operation interfered. The house and lot cost him, he says, $15.000, and he had printed and distributed 20,000 tickets, each of which represented five chanceg in the rafile, and were offered for sale at $1 apiece. In other words, if the entire issue of tickets had been sold and paid for Mr. Solomon would numerous of “drawing” holders have pocketed a profit of $5000, or %5 ! per cent interest on his investment. As | it was about $5000 was taken in before the plang®-e nipped by the police. In theBcfurt of Judge Cabaniss yes- terday A Solomon pleaded his respon sibility "§\. the people who had pur- l!tfl*?d his tickets and deplored the pos. sibility pf their losing their investment. The Juze considerately suggested to hlf.n] a na,\-l out of his perplexity.

The penalty for ¥ offense is a fire whose minimum i3 § and maximum $500. s Three lads, none of whom has at- talned his sixteenth year, were befor: Judge Mogan on the charge of having stabbed with murderous intent an aged groceryman named Martin Kroger, whose place of business, where the .’i'-‘ tack took place, is at 600 Second street. The trio was arrested and booked as Archie Burton, John Quinn and Joha McCarthy, and as they faced the man lhf_-y had attempted to kill they showed neither regret for what they had dune nor fear of its consequences. Kroger appeared to prosecute, but as | he had not entirely reeovered from ta effect of his many wounds the case was continued till December 9 It was the evenlng of Saturday, No- vember 15, when Kroger was set upon end cut with knives by the younz fel- lows. He had refused to sell drinke to them, as they were minors, and i retaliation for his refusal they proceed. ed to wreck his grocery. When he at- tempted to protect his property they attacked him, Police Judge Cabaniss tenderly dan- died a policeman’s club and asked James J. Roberts, a private infantry- man, what he meant by carrying such an implement concealed on his person when he came to town for recreation. The prisoner sald he had been held up and robbed one night recently while in- specting the Barbary Coast and he had equipped himself with the hickory bludgeon to prevent a recurrence of that incident. There was incredulity in the Judge's facial expression and tone as he surveyed the son of Mars with critical eye and remarked: “Well, we'll let this case go over till to-morrow, whei e may have found something more about you.” Roberts was arrested Tuesday night by Policeman Nelson on complaint of an intoxicated man who had given the soldier $25'to keep for him temporarily, and then found that he could not get back the money. While searching his prisoner for the coin the policeman found the club cunningly concealed in his clothing where it could be instant- ly drawn. The charge against Private Roberts is carrying concealed weapons. Charles O’Brien, who picks other peo- ple’s pockets for a livellhood when he is out of jail, was held to the Superior Court with bail fixed at $1000 by Judge Mogan. O’Brien’s method of “dipping,” as ex- plained to the court, was time-honored and usually effective. With a couple of confederates he would board a crowded street car and snatch a purse and make good his escape while his pals obstruct- ed pursuit. He tried the trick once too often, however, on November 25, when he slipped his hand into the pocket ot Nash B. Aguayo on a Kearny-street car and was caught and held by his in- tended victim before his acecomplices could interfere. The outcry raised by Aguayo was so flerce that they were lucky to escape arrest. James Muir was before Judge Cab- aniss on a charge of assaulting Police- man Murphy, who was escorting Mrs. Muir, a professional fortune-teller, from her chamber of mystery on Geary street to her home. The woman testified that her hus- band left her about nine months ago and went to Arizona, apparently caring little how she might live while he was away, and when he returned and found her earning a livelihocd by revealing the future for 10 cents per revelation he wanted to resume marital relation- ship, but she would have none of him. As he appeared to be angry she got the policeman to protect her, and while she was walking home under escort Muir followed them until Murphy told him to let his wife alone. Then, Mrs. Muir avers, her husband struck the police- man and the latter retaliated with his club and arrested the cause of trouble.

Opposition Steamship Lo- thian Carries 600 Celes- tials at $15 Apiece. San Francisco to Chine for $2. That is the rate at which the Pacific Mail Coempany yesterday offered to car: lestial passengers to the Orient. as was the fare, however, few availed themselves of the bargain in transpor- tation, as all the Chinese ready to re- turn to the Flowery Kingdom had pre- viously closed with the China Com- mercial Company, on whose steamship | Lothian 600 of them sailed shortly be- | fore yesterday’s sun went down. The China Commercial rate was $15, | which is itself something fairly tempt- | Ing in the bargain line, and which at- tracted a big rush of almond-eyed pat- | ronage. The rush for China attracted 4 the attention of the Pacific Mail agents and they went the new line enough better to have caused a yellow stam- { pede Pacific Mailwara had not the Lo- i thian’s Chinese already paid their $15, | With the departure of the Lothian ; the old rates will go into effect on Pa- | cific Mail liners and will be maintained until the next China Ccmmercial steam- | ship is ready to receive passengers. A | few took advantage of the lower rate, | however, and several of the Chinesé passengers who will leave to-day on the | Hongkong Maru will cross the Pacific {at a cost to each of them of 52. | The Chinese” who sailed on the Lo- thian were nearly all oid men, who are going back to China to die. Under or- dinary circumstances many of them would have availed themselves of the | various Oriental schemes for making TUnele Sam send them home. Before deportation, however, there is a period +f detention in jail, and, although the | scheme is costless, it is more annoying | than the spending of $15 with an im- | mediate departure. This rate war is' | pleasing to the officials of the Chinese Bureau, much of whose time is taken | up with these o!d men, who, for the sake of a free ride home, acknowledge themselves illegally in the land of the free. The prosecution of these cases is expensive, so that, although rates to China ranging from $2 to $15 may be ruinous for transportation companies, they mean many dollars saved fer Uncle Sam. Acting Customs Collector William B. Hamilton notified United States Immi- | grant Commissioner North yesterday hat the steamer Lothian had Jeared from this port for Ore- gon with 600 Chinese, who were returning to China, and suggested that steps be taken to prevent the.landing or escape of any of the Chinese. It {is supposed that should some of the | Chinese escape and femain in this ‘,cnuntry they would send their return certificates to China to be used in | gaining admission to this country of a | like number of Chinese laborers. —————————— BLACKMAIL USED | UPON A CHINESE | Scheme to Deport Chir Mee Yook ! Exposed by David | Jones. | Chinese blackmail methods were ex- | posed yesterday in United States Court | Commissioner Heacock’s court by Da- | vid D. Jones, official interpreter of Chi- | nese for the District Attorney's office. The case was that of Chin Mee Yook, a laborer, returning from China and | claiming to be a native born American | citizen. Chin produced a record of the | United States District Court certifying to his admisslon to this country on a former occasion as a native born Amer- ican, but the Chinese Bureau was not | convinced that he was the person men- tioned in the record. Chin was bailed out by & security | company, & Chinese firm furnishing the cash. Yesterday Fong Ping, a Chi- nese interpreter, approached Mr. Jones and informed him that Chin’s bonds- men had determined to surrender him into custody because they had learned that that was not his name and that the court record was not his. Mr. Jones' suspiclons were arouscd by the eagerness of the Chinese to al- low Chin to be deported to China, and he had an interview with the defend- ant. Chin said that he had pald Fong Ping's people $5 for costs and a certain sum for the bail bond, and that he had promised to pay $26 more for an attor- ney’s fee, but that Fong Ping had de- manded $60 additional, threatening, at the same time, that if it were not paid his bondsmen would surrender him into custody and he would be deported. Chin introduced witnesses before Commissioner Heacock, and they proved that Chin was not an impostor, but the person he had represented him- self to be. The court discharged him from custody and remarked that it was a clear case of an attempt to rail- road a man to China because he would not submit to be blackmaliled. 0. P. Stidger, who acted as attorney for Chin, stated that he would waive his fee of $25. —_—————— the Hall of Justice ths policeman con- siderately escorted him to the City Hospital and had his battered head dressed and bandaged. g The ¢ went over until Friday.

Ce- | Low | STEAMSHIP WAR BEGOMES BITTER China Commercial Com- . pany Makes Big Bid for Freight. Invades North Pacific Terri- tory and Shippers Are Benefited. —rs. Special Dispatch to The Call. | PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 2.—The inva- sion of North Pacific territory by the China Commicrcial Steamship Company, | signalized Dy the sendiug of the steam | | ship Lothian’here to load, is causing | circles. When the. China Commercial uneasiness, fu Oriental transportation | entered thes trans-Pacific field, with a | number of Canton miiiionaires behind {it, it secured the services of J. S. Van Buren, for nearly twenty years Oriental agent of the Pacific Mail. The deser- ‘tion of Van Buren from the old com- pany angered Manager Schwerin and he opened nostilities immediately upon the arrival of the first steamer of the line in San Francisco by cutting rates | i to $1 per ton. { | No serlous damage would have re- | sulted from this cut had the Pacific Mail heen able to keep the fight in its own fleld. Unfortunately, however, for | | the other Pacific Coast lines operating | to the Orient, a $1 rate out of Sln! Francisco did not harmonize with a $5 | | rate out of Portland and Puget Sound | | ports, and to keep everything from go- | | ing coastwise to San Francisco and | thence to the Orient, the Northern lines | | were forced to cut the rate to $3, a fig- | | ure low enough to prevent coastwise ! | shipments. This $2 cut has cost the five | | regular lines operating out of San | | Prancisco, Portland, Puget Sound nnd§ | Vancouver, $264,000 up to October last, | and there had been no gain whatever | ! at the expense of the newcomer in the | {field.

He was alone at the time of the accident. Crissman was an old time miner in the West, having followed the for- tunes of the gold seekers in all the | | | | | | Western States and in Alaska.

The richness of her blond tresses is heightened by the pearls and roses, carelessly arranged in her coiffure, and the comtrast- ing background and the diaphanous drapery give warmth and brilliancy to the flesh tones. In treatment, this picture approaches sketchi- ness, and this quality may account to some extent for its brilliancy and effectiveness. It seems to have been conceived and executed with a single im- pulse, with none of the changing and retouching that are responsible for the labored and ofttimes unskill- ful aspect of the work of some artists.

TREASURER KEPOIKAI HOLDS TO HIS POSITION Governor Carter Still Has One Mem- ber of Old Regime in His Of- ficlal Family. HONOLULU, Nov. 26.—Governor Carter's administration begins with relations between him and the Treas- urer still very strained as a result of Treasurer Kepoikai's refusal to offer { his resignation, as did all the other heads of departments. There are no conferences between the Governor and the Treasurer and Carter has said that he does ndt regard Kepolkal as a member of his official family, not having appointed him, and will not assume any responsibility for his acts. Kepoikat has much Hawailan back- ing in his stand. The acceptance of the resignation of Land Commissioner E. S. Boyd leaves Kepoikai the only Hawalian holding a position as a de- partmental head.
