PACIFIC COAST HAT WORKS, ' MAKERS. enate Confirms Him during his | Works Bo:lrd Waging Cam- paign Against Obstructors of Public Thoroughfares e etag o Es The Board of Public Works, through Commissioner Woodward, yesterday caused the removal of a number of fences which certain public streets for many years in the University Mound and other out- lying districts. Several property owners in defiance of all legal right took it upon them- | selves to fence in about half of the roadway in front of their own prop- erty and then rented the increased area | to vegetable growers and flower pro- ducers. Peremptory notices were served on these owners to take the| fences down, or the Board of Works | would have its own men carry out the | order. | reported yesterday that the fences which obstructed half of the roadway | on London and Paris streets, near China avenue, were removed by the | property owners. One individual had fenced in half of the roadway of Fel- ton street from Yale to®Oxford, a dis- tance of two blocks, but he obeyed the removal order with alacrity. Notice was also served on Lovell White to remove the fences on Charter Oak avenue at Thornton and Silver avenues, the entire width of the street being utilized as a vegetable garden. | If the fences are not removed at unce they will be torn down by the Board of Works. The board tore down a fence that obstructed Magnolia avenue for a width of seventeen and a half feet at ‘Webster street. The owner added that amount of land to his 120 feet of lznd | which he owned and failed to obey the board’s order to take the fence down. There is a large number of other fences on public streets which must come down, and the Board of Works intends to put an end to the practice of property owners realizing revenue from land which belongs to the city and not to them. ——————— PROPERTY OWNERS WANT FOURTH STREET ‘WIDENED Petition Supervisors to Cut Down Sidewalks by Four Feet to Re- lieve Congested Traflic. Property owners on Fourth street petitioned the Board of Supervisors | yesterday to widen the roadway of | Fourth street, from Market to Chan- nel, by cutting off four feet from each sidewalk, thus widening the main roadway eight feet. The petition says: Fourth street is the main thoroughtare lead- ing to the Potrero and South San Francisco, and is rapidly becoming so congested with cars are being much delayed. There are few basements on the street, therefore the work would be less difficult to accomplish now than later on. We ask that this improvement be inaugurated at once, and that provision for the same be made in the next budget. The petition is signed by the Mar- ket-street Company, by G. H. Umb- i sen, secretary; O. D. Baldwin, J. J. | Beatty; Investors' Realty Company, by Henry Kahn, president; A. Geary; William Giselman, trustee; Joseph Buttgenbach and Edward R.

Rev. Dr. Edwards, representing the Federation of Missions, said that the ordinance would prevent meetings of the Salvation Army and the vagious missions. Edwards objected to a pro- | hibitive ordinance on the subject. Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, representlng! several branches of the Protestant de- | nomination protested against the or- | dinance in the name of 100,000 con- stituents. Wilson thought any one should be allowed to speak on the streets, which he designated as the poor man's “temple of liberty.” He! further protested against shutting out the people who desired to discuss la- bor or other questions. Wilson said it was not wise to load the Police De- partment with retty ordinances when there were graver matters requiring its attention. i “Why,” said Wilson, turning to Chief of Police Wittman, ‘“we have wide open gambling here and wide open brothels and the town is going to the bad on those lines. Let us be- | gin to suppress the big deviltries. We have too much law now and I don’t believe in it. I am pleading for the right of free discussion, but not for any particular class.” “This proposed ordinance,” said J.| J. Paulsell, “violates the constitution | relative to the free exercise of relig-' fous worship, the right to the liberty | of speech and the right of citizens to | assemble in public places. This board has the power to control and regulate, but not to prohibit.” A. Wood of the Salvation Army made a plea for street meetings and | referred to a decision of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge that the streets could be used for public gatherings. Chief Wittman argued in favor of the ordinance as a good police regu- lation. Supervisor Brandenstein took exception to a remark made by one of the speakers that the votes of the Su- pervisors on the ordinance would be watched by the labor people. Bran- denstein branded the remark as an in- sult to the members of the board, who. he said, were above any such insinu- ation. The committee recommended the passage of an ordinance making it un- lawful to conduct any business in a building connected with any place used for immoral purposes. The joint Committee on Judiciary and Fire postponed action on the pro- posed ordinance providing for a free and unobstructed passageway to exits for fire escapes on buildings. Fire Marshal Towe submitted a diagram providing for fire escapes on the sides of buildings. The committee decided to meet on Friday, March 18, at 1 p. m., to consider all legislation de- signed to insure the safety of theaters and other buildings. e ‘Weak Eyes cured by Murine Eye Rem- edy.

Augustus Heinze, Josiah H. Tre- rise and Alfred Frank, found guilty by the United States Circuit Court for the District of Montana of contempt for having violated an order permit- ting the inspection and survey by the Butte and Boston Consolidated Mining Company of certain underground work- ings from the Rarus, Johnstown and Pennsylvania claims beneath the sur- face of the Michael Devitt claim owned by the Butte and Boston Company. It was contended that the court had no jurisdiction to review the judgment of the Circuit Court in this case. Judges Gilbert, Ross and Morrow, be- fore whom the matter was argued, handed down an opinion yesterday ad- verse to the appellants. In quoting from the contempt case of Devitt the court says: They cairy the keys of thelr prison in their own pockets. Courts are established to de- termine the rights and remedies of litigants by peaceable discussions under the law instead ©f by the wages of battle. They are not in- fallible, but no better method of determining adverse claims has yet been devised. No_constitutional right is denjed to the ap- pellants inithis case. They are not required to furnish evidence against themselves. They are simply to unbar their doors, stand and allow the representatives of the complainant to ascertain whether in the depths below the surface of their own property the defendant in the sult in which this controversy has atigen is not engaged in extracting and carry- ing away the wealth of the property. The complainant is simply asking to be allowed to protect its own property and rights and it would be a miserable failure of justice if the court has not the power to enforce obedlence to_its orders in such a proceeding. The court below in its judgment of contempt found .as a fact that Heinze, Frank and Trerise had full knowledge and notice of the order of inspection and its terms, and during all the times mentioned in the order they were able to comply with its terms. The conclusion we reach is that the judg- ment of contempt of court which the appeilants seek to have reviewed upon tHe present writ of error is a judgment in a civil proceeding; that it is remedial and coercive in its execu- tion and that it has been entered by the court for the purpose of enforcing the private rights of the complainant, juditially determined In its favor, and that the appellants are subject to its terms and conditions. It follows that it i® a judgment that cannot be reviewed upon this writ of error and the writ of error is therefore dismissed at appellants’ costs. The Montana court has fined HeinZze and his associates $2000 each, and has sentenced them to.be imprisoned until the fine shall have been paid and until shall have obeyed the order of the court.

Chappelle filed a petition for a writ of mandate yester- day directing Auditor Harry Baehr to turn over to him his warrant for his salary for the month of January, 1904. | He says Baehr refuses to give him the | document.

CONDEMNS FELD T0 BE HANGED Jury Decrees Ex-Policeman | Must Pay Death Penalty for Killing of Dirking BREAKS DOWN IN COURT Murderer, Ui)on Hearing His Fate, Loses Self-Control and Is Led Away in Tears s + VERDICT THAT FIXES JOSEPH FELD'S FATE ‘We, the jury, find the defend- ant guilty of murder in the first degree, E. W.| FERGUSON, Foreman. i * Joseph Feld must dle on the gallows for the murder of his father-in-law, Fritz Dirking, on the night of Novem- ber 2, 1903. After deliberating about half an hour the jury brought in a vers | dict to that effect at 5:30 o'clock last evening. The verdict came as a great shock to Feld, and he broke down com- | pletely. When being taken from the | courtroom he cried and said, “What will my poor mother do?* The last day of the trial was taken up principally with the arguments of counsel for the people and the defense. During the course of Judge Spinetti’s forceful statement to the jury in behalf of the defendant he said: “If Joseph Feld's little girl, Violet, were in the courtroom now she would no doubl(chmb up on his knee, extend- ing both her chubby arms and say ‘papa. " This reference to his child affected Feld, and for the first time during the course of the trial he manifested some feeling by giving vent to tears. His aged mother, who has been at his side | continuously, bore up bravely until the beginning of the arguments, and then sobbed pitifully on her son’s shoulder. MOTHER B PROSTRATED. ‘When the case was submitted to the jury, shortly before & o'clock, Feld's | mother was completely prostrated and | had to be assisted from the courtroom. ‘When the jury returned with its ver- dict Mrs. Feld was unable to be present. The trial was resumed at 10 o'clock vesterday morning, and the defense placed Emil Feld, a brother of the de- fendant, on the stand to corroborate the testimony given by Patrolman Neil Riordan the preceding day relative to the visit to the Dirking house after the shooting. The defense then rested, and District Attorney Byington then of- fered to place George F. Kelly, Walter Kelly and Detective Gibson on the| stand in rebuttal of the testimony given by J. Bouse that the rear door bore no evidence of having been kicked. An objection by the defense to the intro- duction of the testimony was sustained. Detective E. L. Gibson was then| called by the prosecution and testified | that on the front door of the Dirkin residence were marks that had the ap- | pearance of having.been made with a *jimmy” similar to the one introduced at the trial. Mrs. Quarles next testified that Feld had said in her presence that ‘“he would fill his wife-full of lead and buy her a 1ot in the cemetery.” PLEADS FOR ACQUITTAL. Deputy District Attorney Whiting| then opened for the prosecution. He | reviewed the testimony and pointed out the inconsistency of the defense. Judge J. A.

He efideavored to pick to pleces the testimony of the eye-wit- nesses to the shooting and accused them of perjury. Mr. Alford concluded with the statement that he had done the best he could for his client, but did not have any witnesses. District Attorney Lewis F. Byington then closed for the people.

Wisser is still going on his rounds of annual inspection. Everything is gone into minutely and the inspection is carried out in ac- cordance with the full army regula- tions. . The inspection is ‘the most | complbte and exacting that has been undertaken in several years. The general hospital buildings were in- spected yesterday. It was a big job, as the hospital is now composed of some dozen or more separate build- ings, having room to accommodate more than 600 patients. The drill of the Ninth Cavalry on Thursday night came as a great sur- prise to both officers and enlisted*men. It took place shortly after 7 o'clock and was a bleak, drear, pitch dark night, when suddenly the bugle's shrill blast gave the signal “to arms.” In thirty-two minutes the entire squad- ron was mounted and fully equipped to go into action. Major Bigelow ex- pressed himself as highly pleased with | the work of his command. Colonel E. H. Crowder called on General MacArthur yesterday morn- ing and for more than two hours the officers were closeted in close conver- sation. Naturally much was to be discussed about Colonel Crowder” ing state of affairs in the East. The transport Dix, which was de- tained for thirteen days by rough weather on the Columbia bar, arrived yesterday. A big gang of carpenters will at once be put to work building stalls for the 230 mules that she is to take to the Philippines. The transport Buford arrived late last night from Portland. She will go alongside the transport dock this morning and at once be placed in con- dition to receive the 600 marines, who will be brought down from Mare Isl- and as soon as she is ready to receive them. She will go to Manila. The Twenty-cighth Infantry went through full regimental drill yester- day morning on the parade ground in front of the general hospital buildings. The drill was a hard one, but the men showed themsel” 3 up to high stand- ard of excellence. Major Parker W. West entertained Colonel Crowder, Captain March and a number of other officers informally at dinner at a downtown restaurant last night. ————— An inflamed throat should not be n-slect«!.
