O'Brien, a Call reporter, last Friday morning, has been held in $5000 bonds to answer in the Superior Court the charges of burglary and attempting to murder. His companion in crime, Rob- | ert Weeden, was placed under bonds of | $3000 on the single accusation of bur- ! glary. ! The two young desperadoes sat in Police Judge Mogan's court yesterday and nonchalantly listened to a recoun- tal of their felonlous work. Weeden was wighout coat or vest, those articles as evidence that they had been stolen. Wright calmly looked at the witnesses | as they testified and occasionally shift- ed his glance to the spectators that crowded the space outside the rail. When the story of the burglary and shadowing of the defendants had been told, Mr. O'Brien related his thrilling struggle with Wright for possession of the revolver with whic® the latter tried to shoot Policeman Keohane, and | how he was shot through the leg by | deflecting the muzzle of the wdapon aimed at his body. He fully identified Wright as the man who wounded him. Officers Keohane and O'Connor gave corroborative testimony, and the keeper of the lodging-house on Kearny street in which the defendants roomed ailso furnished damaging evidence against them. No defense was attempted, and the cases were promptly sent to the gher court. | While the hearing was in progress the pxflr\ taken from Wright lay, with | sev detached cartridges, upon the stenographer’s table, where either of defendants could have obtained )n of them by simply stretch- ing out his hand. In course of iden- tification the weapon was picked up and returned to the table several times, and each time it was sharply followed by Wright's keen glance. Judge Mo- gan was first to perceive the tempta- | tion that confronted the fellow whose \daspe-rate character had been proved. A sharp look at Wright's face appar- ently decided the Judge's mind, for he quietly took the weapon from the hand of the prosecuting attorney and laid it ‘upnn the desk in front of him, saying, ‘I believe it would be safer to keep it l up here.” Ev one in court understood the | significance of the action and the | words. Wright and Weeden exchanged a questioning glance, and then both | smiled in a sickly way. T e pc Belle Chapell alias “Derby,” was “opening wine” in an O'Farrell-street resort the other evening, when she issed some of her money, and then she disturbed the peace so energetically that the proprietress of the place had her arrested. She was fined $10 yester- | day by Judge Cabaniss. Since this woman entered the under world her descent has been rapid. A few y ago she suddenly flashed into notoriety through being identified as the “friend” of a French Vice Con- sul at this port who committed sui- | cide, and since then she has frequently posed in the police courts. But from | the primrose path of luxurious folly she has passed to the thorny roadway of squalid degradation. “Her finish is near,” remarked a prac- tical policeman, as Belle faced the court and vainly tried to resurrect some of the old defiant spirit that once made her an object of interest. John Brown, able seaman, occupied a | room in a Vallejo street boarding-house with another son of Neptune last Sun- day night, and when John rose from | his couch Monday morning and dressed | himself he substituted the other man's | coat for his own and went out.

Police Judge Mogan Holds Charles H.

It was! proved that just prior to that adventure | the defendant had entered the apart- ' ment of J. B. Fillman at 1032 Market street and taken therefrom a suit of | clothes, with svhich he ascended to the | roof and there attired himself, leaving | the cast-offs behind. He was held to! answer on both charges. | o &N & ! David D. Martini was before Judge Mogan on a charge of having threat- | ened to kill Bertrand Maita, a Broad- way saloon-keeper, from whose place of | business he had been ejected after he | had obtained a drink and refused to pay for it. He stood upon the sidewalk, . witnesses stated, and- brandished a knife at Maita and invited him to step outside and be carved. “You have been in jail, haven’'t you?"” | inquired the Judge, glancing searching- ly at the defendant’s swarthy face. An affirmative nod was the reply. | “How often have you been in jail?” After scratching his head and exhib- iting other signs of memory-raking, Martini said he remembered four incar- | cerations, but there might possibly have | been others which he had forgotten. “Well, I'll continue tNis case umil_ you can think out the exact number,” pieasantly remarked the court. The wife of John Hamilton, machin- | ist, left his bed and board a week ago and went to reside at the home of her brother-in-law, John Larsen, 3361 Eighteenth street. Mr. Hamilton brave- ly withstood the strain of abandonment until Monday, when his. spirit wilted and he sought solace in fiery liquids. ! John Larsen yesterday informed Judge Mogan that John Hamilton was drunk when he visited the Larsen dwelling Monday evening and fired two shots through a glass door panel after he had been refused permission to enter. Mr. Hamilton's defense will be heard on March 11.

No more faking for yours truly. I've had my experience and I'm through with it.” | “That's the way to talk, Walter,” said the court encouragingly; ‘“and| for your own sake I hope you mean | what you say. The older you grow the more firmly will you become con- | vinced—unless you are a greater fool | than I take you to be—that honesty is the best policy. Now go to work, and may good luck accompany you." ‘Walter was “spieling” for a Dupont- street bunko game when the police ar- rested him for vagrancy. 3. B e Edna Dobbins was told by Judge Fritz to go back to her home in Wat- sonville and stay there if she desires to escape the fate of a wayward woman, which is worse than death. The girl was with her “chum,” Ada Simpson, in a Barbary Coast dance hall when they were arrested as va- grants, In court jt came to light that Ada, although under 18 years of age, had been twice married and not pnce divorced, so she is held for bigamy. Miss Dobbins promised to follow the Judge’s advice. o ieie Peter Dariot swore that the trousers stolen from him by John Leichmann could be purchased for $2, but Judge Fritz sentenced John to three months’ imprisonment just the same. —_—— Dies of Blood Poisoning. Charles Henon, a bricklayer, years old, residing with his mother at | 1744 Market street, died vesterday of blood poisoning, the result of a very | peculiar accident. On February 27 he struck a dynamite cap with a ham- 23| mer. The explosion tore away the fingers of his right hand. He was re- moved to the Central Emergency to his home. Henon's mother was present when the cap exploded and narrowly escaped injury. Meyer Held to Answer. John Meyer was held to answer yesterday by United States Court Commissioner Heacock to the charge of opening a letter addressed to an- other person and embezzling a ten- dollar greenbalk contained therein. Meyer came Wwith his friend, John Lava, a short time ago, from Seattle to this city and they took their meals at 34 Filbert street. Here Lava’'s mail was addressed. It is charged that Meyers called for a letter addressed to Lava and took therefrom a ten-dollar bill. —_—————— Libel for Wages.

This is largely due to the expenditures of the Dole a@iministration, which incurred many liabilities when there was no money in the treasury, leaving their payment to be settled out of subsequent rve- nues. The Legislature, moreover, ap- propriated $1,000,000 more than will be received from all sources of revenue, and that amount has to be saved some- where. Even with expenses cut down to salaries and the minimum amount for current accounts there will be $800,- 000 of debt outstanding next Novem- ber, and this sum must be paid from taxes then falling due and which are supposed to carry on the Government until June 30, 1905. So grave has the situation become that a meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, Merchants’ As- sociation and bankers was had with Governor Carter, Treasurer Kepoikai and Auditor Fisher. The banks have absolutely refused to cash warrants is- sued by the Treasury Department un- til they can - 't a clear cut statement of the Territory’'s finances. The Gov- ernor has been working upon this state- ment for scme days. MERCHANTS TROUBLED. Merchants who are selling goods daily to the Government are in trouble because the banks refuse to cash their warrants, which are not payable until November next. The Governor feels that the merchants are too much in the habit of leaning upon the Govern- ment in times of trouble, but the mer- chants, on the other hand, feel that it is they who, to a large extent, are carrying the Government by supplying the sinews for its business and being compelled to do so on a basis of about nine months’ credit. The Treasurer has the power to borrow $300,000, but the banks are by no means inclined to accommodate the administration. ness deputation to reduce the deficiency Banker Spaulding has informed thelby November and see that economy Governor that the general volume of business has decreased, that securitie: have shrunk, that money is not avail- able to meet the requirements of the community and that the position of the Government is adding to the hard times and the generally depressed situation. He further stated that the banks are not satisfied as to the legal security tendered them for advances made to the Government, and that there is no legal requirement making it incumbent upon the treasurer to pay back such loans from taxes. Legal opinions have also been secured to the effect that Government warrants cannot be used against taxes. Under these circum- stances the bankers wanted to be as- sured of their security and the legality of the warrants. Governor Carter promised the busi- | was practiced in every possible man- ner, and since then he has been busily engaged in shaving down various sal- ary and exvense items in the Govern- ment appropriations. During the inter- view, which was quite lengthy, there was some sharp and pointed discussion, showing a lack of harmonious interest between the business community and the administration. After paying off the February sala- rles there was a balance left in the treasury of about $300, but at the close of business yesterday there was not one dollar left for salaries and current ex- penses of government. —_—————— The Belgians are great pigeon breed- ers and one of the choicest birds of this kind is the true Antwerp carrier, which is comparatively rare.
