There was a conference of the Fed- State and city health officials | with Mayor Schmitz in the latter's of- fice yesterday for the purpose of con- sidering the progress of the work rela- tive to the cleaning " of Chinatown, which has been under way for several months. There were present, besides the Mayor, Dr. Foster, secretary of the State Board of Health; Dr. Blue of the United States Marine Hospital Ser- vice and Secretary Emery of the local Board of Healthe It was agreed by thé officials named that the work of putting Chinatown in a sanitary condition has satisfactorily progressed and that it is advisable to continue the same. It was the general opinion that the district has never in its history been as clean as it is now and so free from disease. It is ex- pected that the werk will be carried to completion during part of next year. ————— Triplicate mirrors, standing mirrors and toilet sets. Beantiful and inexpen- sive New Year's. presents.

" g -3 EMPLOYMENT AGENTS BATTLE TO DEFEAT LAW One of Them Pleads Guilty to Overcharging a Man in Search of Employment---Judge Cabaniss Reads the Future for | the complaining witness, 7 | that the arrest was not justified. He | to stéen mr steal a horse. $bor Police Station. Keplan Better Than a Seeress--- Vegetarianism in Court ; . C. E. Dickey, an employment agent with offices in the Donohoe building, is attempting to defeat ‘a law passed by the last Legislature making it a misdemeanor for employment agencies to collect more than 10 per cent of the first month’s wages of the applicant for furnishing him a chance to make a living. Dickey pleaded guilty be’ore Judge Cabaniss yesterday to the crime of tak- ing $30 from M. W. Knighton for se- curing him a place as bookkeeper, which was admitted to be much in ex- cess of the statutory provision. His attorney :tated it was merely a test case, as the employment agencies de- sired to have the 10 per cent provision passed upon by the Supreme Court to learn whether it was constitutional. A fine of $20 was imposed by consent and notice of appeal given. PR B. H. Keplan told Judge Cabaniss yesterday that he was a carriage-mak- er from New York and was suffering from illness. This excuse he offered for not contributing to the support of his wife and three children. Mrs. Keplan had a different story to tell. She averred that Keplan was in a full state of strength and earning a good living. On oné occasion, she said, she found him in the company of Mrs. Dr. Mighal, with fourteen champagne bottles strewn arcund. His condition did not appeal to her as being one of absolute poverty. so she had him ar- rested for non-support. Mrs. Dr. Mighal is the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter, who conducts the business of peering over the veil of the future and telling applicants what to-morrow will bring. When Keplan was arrested by Officer McMurray he was jn the company of the seeress. Among the exhibits offered by th# defendant was a medical centificate from Dr. Albert Abrams, who has of- fices at Van Ness avenue and Califor- nia street. The certificate assured the court that the doctor had examined Keplan several months before and found him rather inclined to illness. It concluded with the statement that the defendant would be unable to do physi- cal labor for several months. Doubt- less the good doctor had been ‘peering ir*to the future himself. Judge Cabaniss thought the case was so aggravated that he ordered the de- fendant into custody until such time as he could give positive assurances that he would pay $12 50 weekly for the support of his wife and children. In the meantime Mrs. Dr. Mighal will be obliged to find some new star to gaze at for her information as to the days that will come. It was bargain day in the fruit store of John Miller at 4562 Turk street when James Keefe and Charles Miller in- vaded it on Sunday night. The pro- prietor was astonished to receive a to- mato just abaft of the main rigging of his eye. A carrot got him on the maxil- lary nerve and three luscious bananas from the plantations of Nicaragua land- ed on various parts of his person. Not being a zealot in the cause of vege- tarianism, Mr. Miller caused the arrest of the two young men who tried to force the products of the soil upon him in such an unseemly manner. Judge Mogan gave Keefe ten days’ confine- ment and his less strenuous partner was allotted flve days. Judge Mogan thought that this breakfast food prop- osition had gone the limit when a vege- tarian diet had to be ground into a man like a baseball pitcher lands on a hard hitter. . Thomas Murphy and Willilam Kelley were charged before Judge Mogan yes- P | terday with stealing a horse and buggy. | In Texas this would be a capital of- | fense unless the offender crossed the Louisiana line Ahead of the Sheriff. In the case yesterday it was admitted by McCarthy, said he had taken his two friends for a ride and stopped at various saloons. He admitted that he kept them waiting whilg he argued politics with the bar- tenders. Murphy and Kelley tired of | the delays and drove home alone, leav- |ing McCarthy deep in the discussion | of the Panama incident. Judge Mogan had listened to political arguments be- fore, and he realized the weariness of the young men who were either forced He thought that horse stealing was justifiable in such cases and dismissed the charges. v Arthur T. Winter was captured by the “Italian Embassador” of San Fran- cigco in an lattempt to rob Henry E. Ellis.* Before other words are wasted it should be explained that the “Italian Embassador” is Jack Holland, who drives a patrol wagon for the Har- In these perilous times of affronting foreign powers, the use of names is dangerous. The State Department might be called upon to apologize and none of us want to bend the knee just at present. So it was only Jack Holland who caught the thief. Harry Ellis was the complain- ing witness against the defendant. It was shown in court that Winter had attempted to rob Ellig, who is an eld- erly man, and the screams of the vic- tim had attracted the attention of Hol- land, who was peacefully enjoying a sprig duck in a restaurant between Da- vis and Drumm streets. Holland threw the napkin into the candelabra and dashed forth madly to the rescue. He caught the footpad and brought him before Judge Mogan yesterday. Win- ter was bound over in the sum of .$3000 to appear before the Superior Court. There is a “big gun” man in town and he hails from Great Falls, Mont. They have great falls in the autumn in Montana. Also“in San Francisco there are falls and James Corbin dis- covered the fact. He was accused of making a nuisance of himself and his gun on Kearny street and was finally tucked under the arm of law and order in the person of Policeman R. P. de Guire. Judge Conlan found him guilty of carrying a concealed weapon yes- terday and will sentence him to-day. Clerk Jack Rice also found him guilty because Corbin was contumacious and knew entirely too much law for a Great Fnlll man. Probably Corbin will get a reminder when his sentence is passed | to-day. . There were 2 number of hold-overs in the police courts yesterday. George Batteate, accused of the crime of burg- lary in the candy store of W. L. Oliver at 646 Greenwich street, was bound over for trial in the Superior Court by Judge Conlan in bail of $2000. On a charge of robbing Luigi Sangali of his beloved accordeon and also taking $2 from the pockets of his victim the same defendant was toid to furnish $3000 for his future appearance. Bat- teate chose confinement in lieu of the money. Leon B. Neat, the burglar of the| Plymouth Hotel, who tried to poison a | pawnbroker in a further attempt at piunder, was offered his liberty by Judge Cabaniss on condition that he furnish $4000 bail on two charges of| burglary. Neat did not have the money | to jail. John P. O'Brien, a boatbuilder by occupation, failed to provide for a pretty wife and two children. Judge| Mogan o~dered him into custody until he pungled up $10 and made provision for future allowances. | Henry Jackson received six months In the County Jail because he couldn’t | remember what he did with a watch | and bankbook he stole. Jackson is the | man who nearly escaped from Judge | ing a man by the name of Patrick Kearney. If Kearney will only come | into court the record will be-cleared up. ———— | MISS DRUM IS WINNER | ON THE PRESIDIO LINKS Men'’s Match Play Handicap Begun on Christmas Day Reaches Semi- Final Round.

High praise is -accorded United | States District Attorney Woodworth | in the report of the Solicitor General | of the Treasury for the fiscal year | ended June 30, 1908, a copy of which | reached Mr. Woodworth's office yes- | terday. In the report Minnesota heads | the list for the year, the United States District Attorney's office hav ing collected $34,000 in fines, forf: ures and penaltiés in cases wherein | the United States was plaintiff. The Northern District of California, Mr. Woodworth's office, stands second, | with $29,000 collected. During the fiscal year 1901-1902 Mr. Woodworth | collected $70,000. The Seventh Dis- trict of New York comes third, with $28,000. | During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, the volume of business in| Mr. Woodworth's office—that is, the | number of cases disposed of—trebled, | notwithstanding th t the collections | fell below those of 1901-1902. ———— CITY SHIPS LARG!

The total amount of taxes collected was $2,140,208 03 and there was a balance due the State of $152,452 03 on last year's schoui apportionment. —_——— Gets Judgment for $7000. Mary H. Grim was granted judg- ment yesterday by Judge Hebbard against the National Union, a bene- {ficial order, for $5000, with interest amounting to $1710 0. The judgment was granted on an insurance policy held by the plaintiff in the above or- der. Her husband, who was a mem- ber of the National Union, died Jan- uary 3, 1899. The beneficial order re- fused to pay his widow the $5000 com- ing to her on the policy which he had | | taken out. The order claimed at the time that sufficient proof of Grim's demise was not given them to warrant the paying of the amount prescribed in the palicy. Mrs. Grim paid the dues each month after her husband’s death to prevent her claim becoming invalid.. Sufficient proof was produced and the court granted the woman the full amount of the policy, with interest and $294 80 excess dues paid by her, in his inside pocket so he went back | § Mogan’s court Monday by Impersonat- | $ | Club has reached the semi-final round. | § s | City Engineer to see if some amic- —| bi s is one of the S R SO 0 O DO SODO tures given away FREE to all readers of THE SUNDAY CALL famous sporting pic- R R 0 Ot OO 0 O L O kAT AR O ACH ) UL N ORGSR CHOECH CH R ORI COHOHO) ORI CRCHCICH MG KRSt SN CROCEORORR CRORHOROOG OPPOSE GRADE CHANG IN THE BYFIELD TI{.-\("I‘: —_ | Board of \\ork Postpones Action on | Petition So Interested Parties | May Adjust Matter. | The Board of Public Works yester- | | day Held a hearing regarding the pro- posed grade changes in the Byfield tract affecting I, J and K streets and Parnassus and Serpentine avenu Prefessors Soule and Prouty, repre senting the university regents, op- posed the change of grades, claiming | | that it would damage the property of the Affiliated Colleges.

Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan has caused the editors of the Almanach de Gotha to be approached with a view to securing the inclusion of his name and of his house in part 1 of the publica- t'~~. in question among the other sovereign families of civilized coun- tries. Both he and his Government | resent the fact that whereas the Turk- ish Sultan should find a place in part 1, along with the monarchs of Ger- | many, Russia, Italy, - ‘ngland, Austro- | Hungary, etc., the, Emperor of Japan should be relegated to the tail end of ! the work, with the Emperor of China, | the Shah of Persia and other poten- | tates of Asia and Africa, whom he re- | gards as immeasurably inferior to | himself in point of civilization and en- lightenment. The Mikado seems to | feel that this exclusion from the list | of sovereigns in part 1 of the Alma- | nach de Gotha has something to do with the failure of European courts to | treat hifm on the same footing as them- ‘ selves—notably as regards the matter | of court mourning and messages of congratulation and of condolence on the occasion of births, marriages and deaths, respectively.—Baltimore Amer- ican. ’s SPROATS CREDITORS WITHDRAW ATTACHMENTS Move Is Preliminary to Selling Out the Business as Soon as Possible. The creditors of Sproat Bros. who had flled attachments agreed yestere day to release them and let the orig= inal bill of sale stand. This action s taken preliminary to selling out the business as soon as possible. Another meeting of the creditors will be held to-day. It is possible, so say some of the creditors, that crim- inal proceedings will be instituted. William Cluff said last evening: “On no conditions will a cash settlement be accepted from the Sproats.” The creditors will get very little oug | of the wreck.
