Klatt to reappear before him next Wednesday for final adjustment of their contention. Mrs. Klatt was there as complain- ing witness against Mrs. Burns, and the charge was assault and battery. From the testimony add\.‘ced by the two women and their respective spouses it was deduced that Mrs. Burns' 12-year-old daughter had way- laid the 10-year-old daughter of Mrs. ;Klatt while the latter girl was re- turning from the corner grocery to her home with a pound of butter. Little There was a rumor around yester- that the commission men would in their permits to sell per- goods on the State wharves jarbor Board and continue ss at their stores. It was stated that the commission merchants would merely raise the price of the perishable products handled by them in order to defray the cost of cartage from the wharves. This rumor was met with a general denial from the commission mer- turn 'FOND MOTHERS TAKE UP FIGHT BETWEEN DAUGHTERS ON STREET \One Little Girl Bespatters Another With Butter ' Maternal Relatives Meet in Hostility and Make Case for Police Court stable, was remanded to the Superior Court, with bafl fixed at $2000.

No plans have been formed as yet and nothing will be done in the matter for two days, when the com- mission merchants of the city will ons were sent out yester-| four of the houses that had permits revoked and the Ct Wharfinger of the Harbor Commis- was instructed to see that these rerchants do no more business on State property.

So a complaint of contempt was drawn and duly filed against the iras- cible Mr. Cunningham, and some time to-day he will ascertain just how much imprisonment he provoked by his breach of etiquette. Something akin to a cloud of conster- nation began to settle on-the legal lu- minaries yesterday in Judge Conlan's court when his Honor started in to pass gentence upon the array of offenders who had been convicted of various of- fenses before him. The unusual heavi- ness of the doses of impriscnment ad- ministered caused the attorneys with cases pending to view the proceedings with alarm, and the unanimity with which they called for continuances was significant. It was a sort of-six-months series that his Honor Conlan dealt out. Thomas Kelley, the passer of Confederate cur- rency upon trustfu! grocers in the West- ern Addition, got six months for each of the three convictions against him, and as quickly as one half-year’s durance ends another begins. Fred Michels for petty larceny, Ed Russell for chronic mendicancy and John J. Coleman for . swindling a s&loon-keeper out of a §5- cent drink got six months apiece.

Henry Brown, colored, sought leniency at the hands of Judge Mogan by plead- ing that the drunk charged against him had been acquired in Oakland, where he dwells. “What did you bring it over here for?” inquired the Judge. doan know, sah,” replied the pris- oner. “You see, when a gemman gets loaded he do: know why he does things that he wouldn't do when he is sobah.” “Well, Henry,” was the court’s com- ment, “we have'all the drunks of home manufacture that we can convenlently takg care of, and I hope that when you have spent twenty-four hours more in the cells upstairs you will return to Oakland with a resolve to finish your next drunk in the town where you ab- sorbed it.” Mr. Brown courteously bowed to the judgment and was withdrawn. A revolver, that loomed large in the hands of the complaining policeman, was found In possession of Chew Gin Look when he emerged from a Sacra- mento-street pawnshop last Thursday afternoon, and the charge against him before Judge Mogan Yesterday was that of carrying concealed weapons. Look and his attorney and several witnesses satisfied the court that the big shooting iron was unloaded at the time of its capture, and that Look, far from carrying it with felonious intent, was trying to pledge it for $10 when the policeman nabbed him. With these extenuating circum- stances in consideration the court dis- missed Look and ordered that his armament be restored to him. Pasadero Savadero peddled ducks that had been drowned instead of shot and Game Warden Ault arrested him | for imperiling the public health. It was proven to the satisfaction of Judge Mogan that ducks which have not been slaughtered in the conven- tional *way are unfit for human food, as their demise is not sanguinary, and it was also explained to the court that sometimes drowned ducks are punc- tured with wire to give their skin a false appearance of having been pene- trated by leaden pellets discharged from a shotgun. Savadero’s case was continued till next Wednesday, when it is understood he will plead guilty and pay the $25 penalty for such offense made and provided. A bench warrant was issued by Judge Mogan for William Germandt, a member of Fire Engine Company No. 28, who had been arrested for ill- treating his minor child. Charlotte, and released on $20 bail. The bail may be forfeited, as rumor had it that Germandt had departed from the city. Harry Losh, an office boy connected with a morning newspaper, is the com- plaining witness court agdinst Edward Fountain, Fred Muller and John Condon, and Police- man “Bill” Harrison and Special Of- ficer John Conway are witnesses for the prosecution. | Losh says that he was passing Third [ and Market streets about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, whistling a merry lay as he walked, when the three de- fendants cast gibes at his ability as a | whistler and then assaulted him. His | cries for aid attracted Special Officer Conway; who “mixed in,” and the bat- tle royal was raging fast and furiously | when Policeman Harrison arrived, | evened up the odds and arrested Foun- | tain, Muller and Condon. The case went over till next Mon- day. ————— INSANE ADMITTED THAT HE MAY BE TREATED Secretary Cortelyou Allows a Rich Young Salvadorean to Be Taken to a Sanitarium. United States Immigrant Commis- sioner Hart H. North received a tele- gram from Secretary Cortelyou yester- day instructing him to release Fep- nando Gallegos on parole, subject to return upon demand at any time, such action not to be considered as a land- ing. Gallegos is a son of Salvador Galle- gos, a wealjhy Salvaderan, at one time Minister to Washington from that country. The young man is violently insane and is accompanied by his brether, who will take care of him. The steamship company took a bond ef $1000 for each of the two men to insure their return to the custody of the com- pany whenever required. The patient will be kept in a private sanitarium at Belment, there being hope that in the mild climate of that part of Cali- fornia a cure may be effected. His brother will remain with him as his keeper. —_————— In the Divorce Court. Interlocutory decrees of divorce were granted yesterday by Judge Ker- rigan to J. W. Casselli from Beatrice R. H. Casselli for desertion and Chris- tina Germuiller from Julius J.

Goes on a Still Hunt for His Relative and Is Jailed. e Harry Ginsburg, alias Harry Long, an ex-soldier, occupies a cell in the City Prison because he tried to outdo the far-fam@d Ananias. As a teller of stories that have no foundation in fact the youthful prevarjcator has few equals in this practical century. No charge has been placed against the young man, because he has committed no crime, but the police are holding | him in the hope that a few days’ im- prisonment will lead him into the paths of truth. Ginsburg owes his incarcera- tion to J. Goldsmith, a jeweler, resid- ing at 533 McAllister street. A week ago the ex-soldler called on the Gold- smith famfly in the hope of finding & relative. His home is in New York, and according to his statement his mother had written him to hunt up an alleged brother who she thought was living in San Francisco. Ginsburg im- mediately went in quest of the relative, and in the course of his wanderings visited Mr. Goldsmith. He presented a typewritten letter, which he sald his mother had sent him. MANY WILD STATEMENTS. He also told Mrs. Goldsmith that he | was staying at the Palace Hotel, was a "major in the United States army, was a graduate of West Point, was a civil | engineer by profession, intended open- {ing an office in the Claus Spreckels | building, had lots of money and a few éother things, all of which were found { to be untrue. 5 Ginsburg proved a fluent talker and | impressed Mrs. Goldsmith; but the hus- band was more practical. He took the young man's statements with a grain jof sdlt and did a little private inves- | tigating on his own hook. He soon | learned that Ginsburg was traveling | under the name of Harry Long, was an | ex-private in the Second Battalion, En- gineer Corps, lived at 454 Minna street | and was “on his uppers.” | The next time Ginsburg called at the | house his reception was less fervent, | and the Goldsmiths, knowing his true | character, drew him out to see how many “more falsehoods he could tell. | Ginsburg outdid himself on his second | visit. He had lots of things to tell about himself. He reached a climax when he informed Miss Clara Magee, a young lady residing with the Goldsmiths, that he would engage her to be his stenog- rapher, and invited her-to go to the office he claimed to rent in the Claus | Spreckels building. GINSBURG IS ARRESTED. Ginsburg continued his visits to the | Goldsmith house, and the master of the !hou!ehold feared he was a ‘“grafter” |and pointedly invited him to stay away. | Goldsmith had read a lot about “porch- climbers,” “second-story workers” and | footpads, and he pictured Ginsburg as | being all three. . J Ginsburg happened to pass Gold- | smith’s jewelry store, at 1013% O’'Farrell 1g(reet. yesterday. The owner stepped, | out and held the young man in conver- | | | | | | sation, and when a policeman was | passing Goldsmith informed the officer | that a detective was looking for Gins- burg. Much to the latter's surprise and | disgust he was taken into custody. | Ginsburg stated in the City Prison ! that he came from New York and is of | a good family. He said he served in the | Philippines and had purchased his dis- | | charge after serving two years. He said | he was only “stringing” the Goldsmiths | | and meant no harm. He said he was | not a “grafter” and had never been im- | prisoned. The police are looking up Ginsburg's record, and will not allow him to go until he satisfactorily accounts for his | | peculiar conduct. e ——— | “FIRST PAPER” ALIENS Regal Shoes appeal strongly to the . young man who wants style and who must have wear. He gets more style in Regals at $3.50 than he can get.in anyeother shoe under $12 a pair. And he gets good solid wear as well. Another man who wears Regal shoes is the business man who can well' afford to pay any price he pleases for his shoes, but whose business instinct—the sense that has tade him rich—will not it him to pay $12 when he can get just as good for $3.50.
