He ordered a bottle of beer, | and after it was consumed he ‘ordered | another. He did not pay for the beer and Martini went to where he was sit- ting with the woman and asked him if ha was going to pay. Richards ap- peared to be in an ugly humor and said | o. ’ said Martini as he took fiold of Richards’ arm, here.” Richards rose to his feet and pulling shot at Martini. The bullet struck | Martini over the left eve and he fell to the floor with a groan. TRIES TO ESCAPE. Richards ran to the rear of the saloon tried to intercept him and then ran to the front door and shouted for help. Corporal Fraher and Policemen Holmes | and Skain heard the shot and the wo- man's cry for help and they ran to the | saloon. Just as they entered Richards | returned from the rear of the galoon, | as the door was locked, and he had the revolver in his hand. “There’s the man who shot my hus- band,” said Mrs. Martini. He did not ! deny the shooting, but claimed that he | had acted in self-defense, as the saloon- keeper was advancing when he pulled out his revolver and fired. The weapon was taken from him the |and an empty shell was found, other chambers being loaded. Martini was sent to the Harbor Emergency Hospital, where Dr. J. D. Murphy expressed the opinion that there was no hope of his recovery, for the bullet had penetrated the brain, Martini died four hours later without regaining consciousness. Richards had been taken to the City Prison, and when Martini died a murder charge was placed against his name. ADMITS THE SHOOTING. Richards made a statement to police that he came here from Visalia the night before Christmas with $100 | in his pocket to have a good time. He had been living at 771 Howard street. He had spent all his money except $24 50, which he had in his pocket when searched. He said he had never | been in Martini’s saloon before, did not know the man and had no grudge against him. The only reason he shot was because Martini was coming to- ward him, although he admitted he did not see a club or revolver in Martini’s hend. He said he had been drinking very hard ever since arriving in the city and at times did not know what he was doing. The police say he was under the influence of liquor, but knew the consequences of his acts. In Richards’ pocket was found a let- ter from his brother, Bert Richards of | Salem, Mass. The writer said he had | heard that the wayward brother had had some trouble with his wife. The letter urged the transgressor to keep away from drink and lead a good life. His brother said he was praying for to join the church. VISALIA, Jan. 6.—Edward Richards eft this city on the 19th day of De- cember to spend the holidays in San Francisco. He was employed in the livery stable of Matt McGovern.

Here they | rested pleasantly, quenching their | thirsts with yem-yem, which infidels €all champagne, and discussing the | merits of camels and caravans. Huddenly the peace of the night was broken. Two bashi bazouks, terrors to all travelers on the desert, came through the sands to the oasis. They | looked like two ordinary American sol- | diers and the keeper of the spring did {not want them around.- “Give us a | drink,” ‘aid the soldif “On your | way,” said the keeper. “This isn't the headquarters of the Associated Char- ities. Fui! Blow through yonder swinging doors.” After many words had passed, the | bashi bazouks drew scimiters and with- drew to the main trail, which is known as Grant avenue, where they guarded the entrance to the casis and loudly proclaimed their intention of slitting open everybody as a woman would cut a gourd. The Mystic Shriners “held on to the rope;” whicinat this particular spring is known as a “bar rail” —all save one. He is known to traders as Tom Trebel, and. is president of the ‘Western Brass Works. He Lnew a side trail that led to a main highway called O'Farrell street. Through this he went and found Sheik Policeman Jin. Pearl, to whom he told the perilous condition of himself and his comrades. Policeman Pearl gathered the bashi bazouks into custody and had them conveved to a fortress known as the city prison. Yesterday the two bloodthirsty bashi bazouks, who gave the names of Fred H. Hiekman and Robert Walker of the | Tenth Infantry of Uncle Sam, came | before Caliph Fritz to be judged.

He is accused | of having entered an office in the Starr King building, on Geary street, where | he found two pretty young women, One | of them was Miss Marjorie McLennan, a stenographer in her father’s office, in the Starr King building, who lives at 1545 Clay street, and the other Miss May Cordoza, a telephone operator | living at 728 Sutter street. Temple is a rather well-looking fel- low, big and broad, with a pronounced English accent. According to the testi- mony taken yesterday, Temple, on Tuesday afternoon, entered the tele- phone exchange of the buildin—. where Miss Cordoza was in charge. He in- quired for the number of some one's office and was told there was no such person in the building. He passed around behind the counter and threw an arm around Miss Cordoza’s neck. She struzeled in his embrace and screamed. Miss McLennan, a stenog- ropher in her father’s office 2 ‘oining the telephone exchang- rushed in and Temple turnec his attention to " er. He attempted to embrace her and, when she screamed, he grasped her by her throat.

He at- tributed his trouble to an over-indul- gence in liquor. Judge Mogan increased Temple’s bail from $20 to $200 and, as the defendant was unable to furnish the amount, he spent the day and last night in the city prison. 3 It was a little family row that caused Maurice Eskovitch to be arrested on the charge of assault with intent to murder. Judge Cabaniss listened to the story and Public Prosecutor James Hanley @efended the accused. This may be paradoxical, but it is true. | The complaining witness was Mau- rice Kaufman, a brother-in-law of the defendant. He is large and husky and | conducts a cigar store and barber shop | at 1040 Folsom street. He lives in the | rear with his wife, and one afternoon | last week he issued a ukase to her to | prepare him a hot foot bath. The tem- perature of the water was nearly a quarter of a degree higher than he had 1 expected, so he began to beat her. The | defendant was standing at the cigar | counter and, hearing the screams of his sister, rushed to her rescue. He weighs | about two ounces lighter than a Pana- ma hat and apparently couldn’t cut a string of spaghetti with a Damascus sword. He was valiant, however, and tackled his big brother-in-law. Dur- ing the scuffle Kaufman was stuck | slightly in the wrist by a penknife. The courtroom looked like a depot for Kishenev refugees, all of whom were anxious to testify on behalf of the de- fendant, but Judge Cabaniss thought the case was a short horse that could'! be curried soon. Prosecutor Hanley eo- incided with alacrity, and Eskovitch headed a triumphant procession out of the courtroom, while Kaufman followed dejectedly in the rear. J. V. Dougherty is a sailor in the service of the United States navy, who has tasted the salt spray and the va- ried booze of many lands for the last six years. Not until he struck the Bar- bary Coast did he ever run afoul of the law. Once there he Imbibed a few drinks and immediately tried to hide the moon in his vest pocket. Failing in this, he invaded a lodging-house and | stole a quilt. There was a doubt as to his intent to be a criminal, and Judgé Mogan dismissed him with a large bun- | dle of good advice, which, coming from a seasoned magistrate, seemed almost fatherly. The sailor promised to store it in his sea chest and every time he had shore leave to overhaul it and re- ! fresh himself with its salient points. Judge Mogan yesterday held James Pryor and Ray Morgan to trial be- | fore the Superior Court on charges of | erty was caught by Ross Varnham, "’I miner from Siskiyou County, as he was climbing across the bea occupied by | the miner and his wife at 18 Ellis street in an attempt to enter the room by a window. Morgan was found, in com- pany with a “pal,” in the room of R.“ E. Gibbons at 209 Kearny street. His partner escaped, but Gibbons pursued | of two police officers. Various products | of the defendant’s thievery were found | on his person and offered in evidence. Maud Lawrence, who has a number of other “noms du monde,” was ar-| raigned before Judge Cabaniss yester- day and instructed as to her rights. She was represented by T. F. O'Con- nor as counsel. She is accused of hav- ing forged the name of J. W. Lay- mance, a real estate dealer of Oakland, to a check of $100. PETTY THIEVES ROB INCLE SA | Government Loses Hundreds of Dollars’ ‘Worth of Material From Mare Island Navy Yard i | VALLEJO, Jan. 6. — Petty thieving, | which, it is alleged, costs the Govern- ment many hundreds of dollars every | year. is said to exist on M:-e Island, nd, as a result, the Government may | be fcrced to deprive about 400 men of ! the privilere, which they now enjoy, of traveling to and from ile island in | small Loats. The authorities on the | island have been aware for a long time | that petty thefts werc occurring, and | they have suggested to the Navy De- | partment the employment of a police | force as a remedy. Not long ago G. W. | White of Colusa, a former employe in | the yard, addressed a letter to Presi- dent Roosevelt charging the existence | in Vallejo of a gang of “Forty Thieves” | which annually stole from t’e Govern- | ment material to the value of many | hundreds of dollars. 'hrough usual | channels, this document found its | way back to Mare Island, and volum- | inous correspondence has resulted. The charge was also made that the junk | dealers who purchased old cast-off | material from the yard pursue tactics | which would prove sensational if in- | vestigated. Tt is understood in the yard that the |reply made by the officials there was to the effect that the latter charge is unfounded, but that the allegations of petty thievery, aggregating a large sum annually, was true. As a remedy, a police force of twelve men was sug- gested, to which the department re- plied that no funds were available. The reply developed the further state- ment from th¢ yard that the only alter- native was to take away boat privileges from about 400 men. There is a ferry plying between Vallejo and Mare Island upon which $2 per month is charged for monthly commutation tickets. If the boat privileges were taken awav this would mean a cost to each one of these | 400 men of $24 per year, or $9600 total. The situation has revived the dis- cussion of the Government establishing |a free ferry between the island and Vallejo. ————— SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BADLY IN NEED OF RAIN Supplications” for a Downpour Are Being Offered at Every Mass in Catholic Churches. 3 LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—Need of rain in Seuthern California is arous- ing church people throughout this city to consider the advisability of praying for a downpour. Already supplications for rain are being offered at every mass of the local Catholic churches, and the Protestants are considering the matter of adding their voices to the petition, but as yet no concerted action has been ‘taken. ¥ A number of the most prominent Protestant divines of the city have | announced themselves. as being in ' favor of united prayers if the rains do not soon come FEARS SECOND DOSE 0F TAR “Apostle” Creffield of the ‘“‘Holy Rollers’”” Escapes From Cor- vallis in Darkness of Nifht T Special Dispatch to The Call. CORVALLIS, Or., Jan. 6.—After elop- ing with Miss Hurt to Albany and being married to her therc. “Apostle” Creffield of the “Holy Rollers” an- nounced that not even tar and feath- ers would drive him away from Cor- vallis, and he accordingly returned yes- terday with his deluded bride. A meet- ing was hurriedly called of the men who had tarred and feathered the “apostle” two days ago, and ‘it was soon announced that the night would bring forth more drastic penalties for the bridegroom. Mén were detailed to watch the Beach residence, where the | Creffields were staying, that the where- abouts of the “apostie” might be known for certain at the time appointed for the attack. The Hurts, however, heard of these plans, and shortly after dusk | Frank Hurt drove up to the Beach | house in a buggy. Shortly afterward his sister. Mrs. Creffleld, and an un- known woman climbed into the vehicle, which drove off in the direction of Al- bany. Shortly before midnight a party of twelve armed men surrounded the Beach house, while others entered and searched it from top to bottom for the “apostle.” They found only six women. About the same:time Frank Hurt drove back and threw a bundle of clothing into the yard. It is quite certain that Creffield escaped disquised as a woman. ———— DECISION STRIKES BLOW AT THE PURE FOOD LAW Los Angeles Jurist Holds That Meas- ure Does Not Apply to Sale of Adulterated Baking Powders. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—The suit brought by the City Board of Health against local grocers for selling bak- ing powder containing alum has been decided in Justice Chambers’ court in favor of the defendants. The court, in sustaining a demurrer filed by the defendants, ruled that baking powder was not a food and therefore could not be considered an adulterated ar- ticle under the pure food law. - The case has attracted considerable at- tention and has been hard fought by both s‘des in an effort to determine whether the sale of baking powders containing alum can be prohibited in this State under the pure food acts passed by the Legislature. —————— Special Rates. o First-class tickets between San Francisco and Los Angeles, either direction, including stop and two days' entertainment at famous Paso Robles Hot Springs Hotel, only $21.

He took exception to the court’s decision awarding Mrs. Selby a decree and endeavored to make a speech traducing the fair name of his spouse and refused to stop when the Judge told him the court’s judgment had been rendered. “I will not listen to your remarks,” said the court. “Thev are not suit- able.” Selby persisted in denouncing Mrs. Selby as an unfaithful wife and the Judge ordered him to take his:seat. “I consider you less & man now than I did five minutes. ago,” said. the. court, any more from you I will send you to Jail for five days. Take your seat, sir.” Selby, however, sat down only when he was grasped by the shoulders by g}erk Rtobert Fitzgerald and forced into s seat. A PITIFUL SIGHT. The preacher presented a pitiful spec- tacle during.the progress of the:trial of the divorce action. He was his own attorney, and in his efforts to prove that he was not guilty of the charge of rovide for his wife andfam- ily he made almost a farce of the trial. He endeavored to introduce e\s‘dence foreign to the suit. Were it not for the fact that during the proceedings | he sobbed and cried repeatedly, partic- ularly after a reference to the happi- ness he and his wife enjoyed during the! early days of their married life, it would have been ludicrous. His emo- tion did not, however, affect his wife, who bore his cross-examination wit out a sign of nervousness. Neither did it affect his pretty little daughter, who sat in the courtroom during the trial. She smiled occasionally and almost | laughed at times when their father's woeful ignorance of the law led him to make a blunder that called forth a few words of caution from the Judge or an objection from her mother’s at- torney. His tears and sobs did not af- fect her near as much as did his piti- able attempts to show that he is a wronged man. Dark, plump and close to 40 is Mrs. Selby. When she appeared in court she was attired in a tight-fitting, light blue gown, a long stiing of beads was around her neck and a black picture hat, the somberness of which was re- ved by a bit of bright red ribbon, was her headgear. She testified that she was married to Selby eighteen years ago in Australia and that a few years since she came to this country with" him. They remained here for a few years and then he returned to Australia, where he is pretty well con- nected. She remained behind, and to| support herself embarked in the lodg- | Occasionally, she said, her husband sent her = some money, but his remittances were not regular. He finally came back here, but shé refused to live with him. MINISTER CRIES. It was when Selby began cross-ex- amining his wife that he broke down and sobbed. He got so nervous that it was with great difficulty that he was able to hold in his hand the letters he was endeavoring to read in evidence. | “Why was it, Mrs. Selby,” he tear- fully said, “that when I first came to this country and went to your room- ing-house and asked you for a room you refused to give me one and told me you had one for me in another house?” “Because I did not want you,” said Selby then endeavored to show that he had very frequently sent money to his wife. She admitted to having re- ceived some of it and then said to him: “You certainly cannot have forgotten, Mr. Selby, that you got all of it back the first week after your arrival here?” ‘Witness and counsel, otherwise hus- band and wife, then entered into an ar- gument as to the amount of money each had contributed to the family fund. The argument only served to excite Selby to a painful degree and make more apparent the remarkable coolndss of his wife. It ended only when Judge Hebbard announced that he would not allow it to proceed any farther. Selby then tried to show that he had met with reverses and informed the court that the law of divorce provided that where it was shown that a hus- band had been a faithful provider for yeaws, and then met with misfortune, it became the duty of the wife to sup- port him. MRS. McRAE TESTIFIES. The unhappy husband then en- deavored to prove that his wife had been guilty of censurable conduct with | 2 man named Waters and with Donald | McRae, the furniture man who owned the lodging-house conducted by her, proceed, ordering him to confine him- self to his efforts to refute the charge that he was a neglectful spouse. Mrs. Selbv was followed on_ the ‘wit- ness stand by Mrs. Donald McRae, wife of the furniture man, who is accused by Selby of alienating his wife's affec- tions. She said she had known Mrs. Selby for the last three years and that she ‘was a most estimable woman. Dur- ing all that time, said Mrs. McRae, Mrs. Selby had earned her own living and that of her three children. Her testimony closed the case of Mrs. Selby and the court called for the de- fense. Selby, shaking and nervous, ex- plained that he had no evidence to offer, that he had summoned witnesses, but that they had all refused to ap- pear in his behalf. He said that in lHeu of witnesses he would like to read a statement. Permission to do so was granted him, and he walked up to the witness chair. “Raise your right hand and be sworn, Mr. Selby,” said the court. “1 affirm, sir,” replied the minister. He then commenced to read a his- tory of his life from the time of his marriage up to the time his wife re- fused to have anything moré to do with him. : “That will do,” €aid the court, after Relby had read for about five minutes. “You have not read a thing that is relevant. I will have to ask you a few questions: How much money have yeu given your wife in the last year?" None,” said the minister. “How much in the twelve months preceding?” again queried the court. “A few pounds,” was the almost ‘whispered answer. “‘That confirms your wife's story,” said the court. “She is entitjed to a divorce and the custody of the chil- dren.” It was at this juncture that Selby | attempted . to voice his bitterness against the woman t~ whom he was 3 STILL INPAID U. §.
