He had on hearing com- plaints against two negro soldiers, who | were accused of stabbing a negro por- ter named James Parker during a rough house in a dance hall on Pa- cific street. *his was conducted by an- other negro, one Lester Mapps. When ail the witnesses had gathered in the courtroom the bailiffs turned on all the ! available lights in order to brighten up | the oppressive darkness., The case was utterly devoid of “sweetness and light.” All of the par- were negroes, varying in shade from umber to the deep black | of a moonless night. One of the de- | was familiarly known as Judge Cabaniss did a little christening on his own account, asked him if his cognomen was night.” The complaining witness was stabbed n the shoulder during one of the live- st saloon rows that has ever gome Bottles, chairs, nearly everything in “*Mid- tables, in fact play during the fight, or fifty Adams, Cavairy, in which forty negroes participated. G. C. a black spldier of the ) and Charles Heard, were jointly accused of having inflicted the knife wound on Parker. The witnesses all admitted having taken part in the affray. When the police arrived on the scene Parker was found to have received a deep stab in the shoulder, and Adams was pointed out as the man who did the cutting. Heard was arrested jointly as one of the men who had started the interest- ing proceedings. No weapon-of any kind was found on either of the de- fendants Judge Cabaniss dismissed them both for lack of evidence, but he took oc- casion to warn them and all other ne- gro soldiers within the sound of his voice tkat the first time there was sufficient proof before him that any one of them transgressed a civil law, espe- in the way of offering personal violence to a citizen of San Francisco, he would forget all the mercy that his tender nature teaches him and visit the extreme penalty of the law upon them. Gentlemen who are in the habit of emitting their interiors on the side- walks had better watch out or the bogie man'll get 'em. For the last three days special police officers have been detailed in large numbers to ar- rest all violators of the ordinance pro- hibiting expectoration on sidewalks. Except in Chinatown, whence the po- ice believe a revenue should come to the city. the ordinance had practically been a dead letter. One of the Police Commissioners has jssued a ukase on the subject, and since then the Police Court calendars have been burdened with offenders. When the corrective measures have been properiy. administered San Fran- cisco readers of Dickens, who ridiculed the expectorating habits of Americans, may tear out the pages, as far as they relate to the dwellers in the metrop- olis of the Golden Gate. Even they may indulge in the high hope that the streets of the city may be cleaned in some degree. Benjamin Michaels was held in $6000 bail to answer to the Superior Court vesterday by Judge Fritz, on the charge of grand larceny by trick and device. He is one of the two defend- ants arrested on an alleged charge of hunkmng Wade W. Copenhaven out nf $1500. As narrated by ('openha\en, who once occupied the honorable posi- tion of an Oregon farmer, the scheme was to create, out of his crude metal, a manager of a theatrical troupe. He had visions of g diamond studded shirt front and the regard of every blonde beauty who wished an engagement. It took some time for Michaels to re- {lieve the crafty farmer of his coin. | There was real estate to be transferred | and various objections were made by “openhaven to parting with the wad of green governmental promises which the Treasury Department issues. Finally he was separated from his roil through the instrumentality of a man | named Stanton, on whom the police have no line. Stanton is still wanted to clear up the peculiar case. Wwiliilam Harvey, a codefendant of Michzels, was discharged because there was no further testimony against him than that his photograph, in four dif- ferent poses, was in the possession of the Police Department, and thgt he was generally rated as a bunko man who had mixed some with Michaels in Thomas D. O'Brien is having trouble with his mother-in-law. His wife is her. O’Brien claimed, before Judge Fritz yesterday, that the custody of the children by his mother-in-law was dis- tasteful to him and he refused to con- tribute to their support. The mother- in-law was in evidence, bearing the name of Catherine Dobrogoishi. She told of the care she lavished on the lit- tle ones in such a strenuous manner that the Judge remained unimpressed. Still the children were entitled to sup- port, and an order was made that O'Brien would have to pay $8 weekly for their support. As he earns $21 a week, this will not be a great hardship on him, despite the fact that he has a mother-in-law. A junk-dealer mamed B. ‘Axelard, who does business on Third street, broke down and wept in Judge Fritz's court vesterday. He was accused of receiving stolen property from a pair of hoys, who testified that Axelard readily | purchased copper castings from them, which they stole from the ‘Western Brass Foundry. “It was tears, idle tears,” as far as the Judge was concerned. The story that the defendant told, between his sobs, lacked the moving touch and he was held for further consideration and investigation. John Curran is an insistent guest around the restaurants of Sacramento street. Fe has the habit of going into an eating-house and ordering a bounti- ful meal. When the cashier tries to collect Curran tells him to charge it up. He was discussing the matter of payment with the cashier in Peterson's place 'Thursday night. The money changer pulled a revolver and threat- ened his life. *“What have asked Curran. “It's a gun, and a good one,” said the cashier. “I have a no- tion to shoot your right eye out.” *“A gun!” said Curran. I was awfully | afraid it was a stomach pump.” Po- liceman Jim Welch was looking for Curran on. the special charge of bilk- ing restaurants, and he -happened ! { along just at the right time, as he al- ways dees. The officer arrested Curran and Judge Fritz sentenced the defendant yesterday to three months in thej County Jail. ~ ‘William Moon was before Judge Mo- gan yesterday on the charge of burg- lary. He is the cocaine fiend who was chased out of one flat and persistently tried tc rcb another adjoining prem- | ise. In the first house he left his coat in a pocket of which was a skillfully made lever that is technically kmown as a “jimmy.” When he appeared before the Court | he was still shy the captured coat. “Have you an attorney?” asked 1he Judge. “No, sir,”” said the defendant. | “Well, as you have no coat that can be taken off your back the court offers to appoint an attorney for you,” said the Judge. The offer was réfused, and the case was continued until Monday. SR SRR T WILL PUT NEW COURSE OF DRAWING INTO EFFECT Superintendent Langdon Greatly Sim- plifies the Study on Recommenda- tion of Principals of Schools. Superintendent of Schools Langdon vesterday completed the new course | of drawing which he was empowered to do by resolution of the Board of Education. The new course is greatly simplified and has been so reduced as to make it much less burdensome than the old, and is founded on recommen- dations made by principals and teach- ers. Miss Katherine Ball, supervisor of drawing, was shown the course by Langdon, who explained to her its details. Langdam said it was desired to, prevent in futdre any controversy among principals and teachers which had resulted in disagreement some months ago and threatened to disrupt the School Department. Miss Ball expressed herself as sat- isfied with the course and will carry out its provisions. Her powers have not been changed in any way and she will continue supe: the study with the assistance Miss Murray. The salaries of both teachers will be left undisturbed. —_———— Federal Indictments. The Federdl Grand Jury yesterday filed indictments as follows: Charles W. Callan for making 113 counterfeit fifty-cent pieces on December 17; Thomas Sutcliffe, Charles W. Callan and George Tighe, for uttering coun- terfeit coins; A. G. Osborn, for forg- ing the name of Dr. Osborn to a postal money order for $5 05. One indictment was placed on the secret file. It is believed to be against W. H. Van Ar- man and others for timber land frauds in the Sacramento land dis- trict. The jury ignored the charge against John A. Attridge for passing counterfeit coin, —_—— FILES A, STATEMENT OF ITS EXPENDITURES Spring Valley Water Company Tells Board of Supervisors What It Spent in Three Months, The Spring Valley Water Company vesterday filed with the Board of Su- pervisors a statement of its expendi- tures for October, November and De- | cember, 1903. The statement follows: Manager- you there?” | NO EVIDENCE OF A FRACTURE Undertaker’s Assistant Says Skull of the Late Charles L. Fair Was Apparently Intaet EMBALMING POORLY DOXNE | i TS o James W. Bollen Corroborates Statement That Unfortunate ‘Woman’s Head Was Crushed | The taking of depositions in the case | of Hannah E. Nelson and others vs. Theresa Alice Oelrichs and others, the Lob]ect of which is to set aside the | agreement entered Into between the | heirs of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair, | was resumed before Court Commis- sioner John A. Hosmer yesterday after- noon in the presence of attorneys rep- | resenting both sides to the controversy James W. Bollen, who is employed | ‘by the undertaking firm of Porter & ! White, tock the stand. He testifled | that he was employed by Porter & White in September, 1902, and that he knew both Charles L. Fair and Mrs. Caroline D. Fair by sight, but was not personally acquainted with either of | them. Under the direction of Samuel | A. White, he assisted in receiving the | bodies and caring for them. The re- mains arrived here in a private Pull- | man car in charge of a porter. ‘ The course of the coffins from Oak- | lnnd mole to the undertaking parlors | was then traced. the testimony being | \simnar to that given by Mr. White at a previous hearing. Bollen corrobor- ated the statement made by White that the metal shells inside the coffins wer: reversed, the face caps covering the | | téet instead of the heads of the bodies. | ! He could not teill whether the coffins | had been opened or not after first be- | ing sealed. ‘Witness found upon opening the cof- fin that the head and neck of Charles L. Fair were wrapped in bandages such as are ordinarily used by physicians, | ana so far as he could judge the band- | ages had never been tampered with. prepared the bodies for an autopsy by Drs. Williamson and Galwey. The head of Mrs. Fair was thoroughiy bandaged in such a manner as to protect it from any ordinary jar, shock or blow to which it might be subjected in travel- ing. Witness had removed the band- ages and noticed a large wound on the left temple and a similar one on the opposite side. The bones could readily be moved under the scalp; the jaw- bone was broken and the skull seemed to be crushed. The right eye was en- tirely missing. He could not recognize the face. As recarded the head of Charles L. Fair, witness énly noticad a flesh wound on the side of the face, but there was no evidence of fracture of the skull. As an undertaker, he stated that the 1y doze. This concluded the direct examina- tion of the witness and an adjourn- ment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning, when he will be cross-exam- ined. —_———————— Mrs. Mrs. Irene Doyle Reeves, who was consolidated out of her position as teacher of English and history at the Polytechnic School a few months ago, was restored to her position vester- day by Judge Hebbard. Attorney Stephen Costello, her legal represent- ative, secured from Judge Hebbard an order annulling an order setting aside the injunction Costello secured restraining the Board of Education from dismissing Mrs. Reeves. This restores Ler to her position untiksuch time as the suit for a permanent in- junction is determined. —— e Daughter Accuses Parents. Kate L.
