Si rot the An Meginniss is the vice president of the | Montana Ore Purchasing Company and claims that by the arrangements by which the Amalgamated Copper be ame the parent company of the now egbsidiary com~anies he and other minority stockholders have been se- riously jured. The Amalgamated Copper mpany has declared a divi- dend of 2 per cent, payable on Monday next, but cannot pay unless it receives the dividends from the subsidiary com- panies, and for this reason counsel for the Amalgamated asked that the in- junction be immediately dissolved. Louis Marshall, of Guggenheimer, Untermeyer & Marshall, and Mr. Gari- bal, representing the defendant com- panies, asserted that all the allegations .~l<ud in Maginniss' complaint, with the exception of some very unimportant asseverations, had all been raised in other suits brought in the Supreme Court here and in that of Montana, within the last three years. Franklin Bien, for Maginniss, claimed that the arrangement by which the subsidiary companies were purchased was the result of a conspiracy to benefit the shareholders of the Amalgamated and irreparably injure Maginniss and TO MEET IN NEW YORK Adopt a Resolution Con- demning Discriminating Methods of Certain Cities.

BOSTON STRIKE GROWS BITTER "Arve Courts Askv(] to Prevent Crews to Desert Their e BOSTON, Feh. seamen at Ships 24.—The strike of this port assumed a new phase to-day when a bill in equity was filed in the Superior Court asking that the officers and members of the At- lantic Coast Seamen’s Union be re- strained from influencing sailors from shipping on vessels managed by per- sons who are unwilling to accede to the demands of the union. The plaintiffs assert that the mem- bers of the union have induced sailors to desert their vessels, and have, in certain instances, used force to pre- vent crews being shipped on vessels managed by the plaintiffs. John Lind, a walking delegate of the union and one of the defendants named in the bill, was arrested to- night on the charge of attempting to entice a member of the crew of the schooner Eleanor A. Percy to desert before the expiration of his coritract. ———— Russia Will Send an Exhibit, ST.

NOT TO DUPLICATE CRIME Piiferer of ‘Daily Papers Is Given Severe Lecture by Judge Cabaniss— “Babe” Curtin Is Safe in Custody of the Sheriff—Honorable Jap Is Honorably Discharged l Niccola Ivanovick was dismissed by | Judge Cabaniss yvesterday in the ab- | sence of Judge Mogan. He is a boy |aged to the 16-year notch and for | four spare months he has inhabited lhln wild United States after a steer- age voyage from Sicily. From the time of his arrival he has engaged himself in the pursuit of stealing-copies of The Call from doorsteps on Green street. The testimony shc:~d that the boy had robbed doorstep after doorstep and left the occupants of the houses wit- less of the main doings of the day the | while they ate their breakfast food in silence and knew not whether Japan or Russia was tep-up in the little mix- | up that is occupying the center of the world’s stage at present. The Judge gave the youth some much needed advice, partly on the lines of petty Ifirceny, but more largely on the deprivation that accrues to a citizen when he finds The Call absent from | his breakfast table. “Under the constitution of the United States,” said the Judge, “a citizen is | entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit | of happines&. A dish of bacon and | eggs, with & hot cup of coffee, wili an- | swer the twd first prerogatives, but | where can one chase the elusive phan | tom of joy unless one reads The Call?” | Pale to the gills, the youth heard the | lecture and promised that{ néver again | would he steal newspapers from door- | steps. - *On this positive understanding he was allowed his freedom. o WL | ‘inbe" Curtin, whose main name is |-Anthony, if baptismal cognomens go jfor anything, was before Judge Fritz | yesterday on a charge of carrying con- | cealed weapons. He was held under bail of $100. That was the least of | “Babe’s” troubles. He was ready to ! furnish $100 in good United States coin, | but Judge Cook differed. There was | a burglafy charge against the “Babe” | that had been pending since last March. Therein he is charged with burglariz- ing the premises of a roomer on Mis- sion street and purloining a watch and several dollars in hard iron money. | Curtin was ordered into custody with- out bail by Judge Cook, and the ce- \ ment floor of the City Prison furnished | him the scant comfort of a bed last | night. The : against him is weak |and he will probably be acquitted, but whatever discipline he gets in the | meantime is coming-to him. o e iy Joseph Hodge was a complaining wit- | ness in a grand larceny charge against William O'Brien and John Moran in | Judge Fritz's court yesterday. The witness claimed that the two young men had robbed him of a gold watch and $3 50 in coin, | Both defendants testified that Hodge was an old acquaintance of seventeen | years' standimg “and that the alleged robbery was merely a figment of the brain. They admitted taking Hodge to his room in the Lindell Hotel, but positively denied the larceny of his money and watch, Hodge blew into the courtroom dur- ing the hearing withe load of peaches that would swamp a Fresno County orchard. Judge Fritz eyed him glassily for a minute and then ordered him into custody. Bailiff Jack Conlan put him in the dock and Hodge went off into slumberland with a rapidity that star- | tled a cocaine fiend. *“'Chee,” said the fiend, “if booze will give the big get- [awy, why didn’t I troi dat foist?" | . o+ | Father Grey, the aged priest, who | claims that Thon F. Brennan had | robbed him of $37,000, was unable to appear yesterday in Judge Conlan's court. Illness and age ve gripped the old pastor forcibly and he is in no condition to leave his bed. On the witness stand yesterday there were three officials of the Crocker- | Woolworth Bank and one from the Hibernia Bank, who told in detail the monetary transactions that Brennan conducted with Father Grey's account. | Further hearing in the case was con- tinued until next Friday. TR R | | | Bdward E. Stoddard, who once was ‘|he manager of the bicycle department Of Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden ‘ompany, was held yesterday to an- m\nr to the Superior Court by Jydge | Fritz in bonds of $3000 on a charge of felony embezzlement. The com- [plamt alleges the theft of $150, but ! the firm says that Stoddard is shy more counts. . than $4000 in his ¢ . “I desire to return to that honorable Nippon and take up honorable arms,” explained Jen Kaza to Judge Conlan V\vslerda) For five nights he had !been a bedfellow to Chinatown gin {bums, Barbary Coast consumers of | paint and the flotsam and jetsam that | rest every eve in the City Prison un- der the generic classification of “lodg- ers.” He had béen plying the trade of | “good, honest,” industrious schoolboy” for several years in this port. He | lived up to those conventional adjec- | tives until the Japs saw Admiral Alex- jeff first. Then the fire of patriotic ardor that burned in the breast of J. | Kaza exploded. He remembered the example of N. Bonaparte, who got the double cross in the frozen highways of Russia, He wanted to prove that this Frenchman | was a “mutt.”” He desired to return to that dear Nippon ond roust up an army and strike a blow for his home and his geisha girls. He had $2 98 when the war began. Yesterday he was a dollar nearer re- turn fare. He economized by joining the army of city “lodgers.” The po- lice became tired Tuesday evening and classified him as a “vagrant.” “Do you deny that you are a vag- rant?” asked Judge Conlan, “Honorable magistrate,” replied the little fellow, who had sampled the tea of Nagasaki, Yokohama and Kobe in his infancy, “T am a patriot.” “Dear me, said the Judge, “I ! heard that word when I went to | school. ‘Patriot’—that brings back past memories.” “It is honorably so, honorable | Judge. 1 have been honorably econ- omizing,” sald the Jap. “I honorably | desire to depart to Nippon, therefore 1 have been a lodger in your honor- able jail.” “Back to the geisha girls then,” said Judge Conlan. “But I have a few ' the administration of school affairs. I ! cents on the Slavs. It's a distant race and the track is muddy.” The Jay was honorably dismissed. W5 Before Judge Fritz appeared ope Hugh P. Silvert, whose trouble was that he was hitched to a check for $10 85 signed by John Roberts, a har- ness-maker. With Mr. Silvert it's a case of “who frew dem chicken feathers ’'round my door?” If he could find the man who put that bit of papef into his pocket some- thing woiid be doing. *I don’t know why you should cher- ish samples of Mr. Roberts’ chiroge raphy, but I will find out to-morrow,” said Judge Fritz. Then the harness- maker will be in the judicial traces. —————— ENTER PLEA OF ONCE IN JEOPARDY WILL New Phase Develops in the Case of Ernest Alexander, Charged With~ Accepting a Bribe. The case of Ernest Alexander, an ex-policeman, charged with accepting a bribe from Mamie Lin, alias Lulu Wilson, while a member of the depart- | ment, was called for trial yesterday in | Judge Lawlor’s court, but at the re- quest of Assistant District Attorney Ferral a continuance was granted till | March 4, as no trace had yet been found of Rose Everett, the missing witness. Attorney O’Connor, for the defendant, objected to the continuance and said he would enter a plea nt‘ once in jeopardy. The Judge was informed that Vamie Lin had gone to Los Angeles, but was willing to return and testify at the trial if her expenses were guaranteed. | The Judgé said she was under the or- | der of the court and unless she was | present when the case was called for | trial she would be guilty of contempt | of court and would be brought h.«(k. and punished. IR LD SRR S PATROLM INJURED WHILE STOPPING A RUNAWAY T!'A)l‘ Brave Officer Knocked Down nndi Kicked by Horse, but Holds on in Spite of Hurts. Patrolman McEntee was the hero of an exciting runa y accident last night at the corner of Powell and Market streets, He succeeded in stopping a pair of fast horses just as they were about to dash into Market | street, but before he accomplished the feat he was knocked down by one of the flery steeds and is now suffering from a probable fracture of the jaw. The team belongs to the Great American Tea Company, and while ] the driver was delivering some goods took fright and started to run down Powell street in the direction of Mar- ket. McEntee, with great presence of | mind, caught hold of one of the| horses and held on, though he was knocked down and kicked by the frightened animal. A large crow gathered around the scene of the run away and excitement ran-high for a | few minutes. FIELD DEPUTIES TO | BEGIN WORK TO-DAY | Assessor Dodge D('[alls One Hundred Men to Distribute Blank Stace- nients for Valuations. If the weather is propitious to-day Assessor Dodge will start 100 field | deputies on preliminary work in the matter of assessment valuations for this year. It was intended to hegin the work yesterday, but the inclem- ent weather changed the programme. It will be the duty of the field dep- uties to leave blank statements at each house in their respective districts, 1o be filled out by the householder in figures representing what they | sess in personal belongings. ‘These blanks are to be filled out and re- turned to the Assessor on e {iest Monday in March, which f this year on the 7th, or within five days thereafter. The statements are tributed ten days in advance so the collections of personal proyperiy taxes may commence in the beginning of March. YOUNG WOMAN ATTEMPTS TO bz END LIFE WITH LAUDANUM Mrs. Mary Whitney Becomes De- spondent and Takes Poison, Which Druggist Thoughtfully Dilutes. Mrs. Mary Whitney, a young woman residing with her husband and two children at the Winchester Hotei. made an unsuccessful attempt to end her life by taking a dose of laudanum last night. The druggist from whom she purchased the drug became sus- picious and mixed a' large quantity of sweet oil with the poison and to this the woman owes her life. Mrs. Whitney has been despondent | over financial troubles for some time and decided to end her life yesterday. | She purchased the drug and went into ‘ a restaurant on Third street nnd‘ drank half the contents of the bottle. | She was taken to the Emergency Hos- RAILWAY TRAVEL.
