United States Court Commissioner Heacock filed his report yesterday with | United States District Judge de Haven to the effect that the evidence had con- vinced him that Lee Wing Chung was a native American and was entitled to be landed, notwithstanding the ad- verse action of the Commissioner of Immigration. Duncan E. McKinlay, on behalf of the Government, filed a de- murrer to the report of the Commis- sioner and cited the decisions of Judge Ray of New York and Judge' Wheeler of Vermont to the effect that the ac- tion of the Commissioner of Immigra- tion in such cases is final and not re- viewable. Judge de Haven took the demurrer under advisement. He has already held in another case, and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has held likewise, that a native American desiring to return to his country from a foreign land and being prevented from doing so without due proc: of law and on that ground ap- piying to a United States court for a writ of habeas corpus is entitled to have a judicial determination of the facts, and no act of Congress can be understood as a bar to such judicial rmination. United States Circuit Judge Morrow has also rendered a similar decision. PR S ————— Mellin Doe’s Creditors Act. An order directing the Union Trust X as executor of the will of .

On the contrary, her form, which never could have been described as sylph-like, has increased iz bulk. The case was set for 10 o'clock yes- terday morning, but Judge, attorneys and witnesses waited until 11 o'clock | before the accused woman ered Into the courtroom. Her entry was not like that of a condemned crim- {inal about to make a last stand for | liberty, but, neatly dressed in a close fitting suit of black, with a bunch of violets pinned to her bosom, she swept through the courtroom and took a seaf by her attorney, as miladi coming into church with a new gown during the middle of the sermon goes to her pew. | Once seated, however, she became rest- |less and her eyes wandered furtively | | from time to time toward the District | Attorney’s desk and then at the motley throng of curious sightseers who filied the courtroom. As there are but thirty-two jurors on the present panel it was deemed | advisable to augment the list, both sides being satisfied that it would. be impossible to select twelve men from such a small list. District Attérney Byington suggested that the Sheriff summon a number of men suitable for jury duty, but to this Attorney Knight, for the defense, vigorously objected, stating that he had had experience with such talesmen and found they were ( “too suitable.” Judge Cook then ordered the County | Clerk to appear at the afternoon ses- sion with the gemeral jury box, as his venire at present contains but thirty- two names and there is no possibility of securing a trial jury in this case from such a small list. One hundred men were selected and will be nctified to appear to-morrow morning, when those who wish to be excused will have an opportunity to be heard. The ac- tual work of selecting jurors will be- gin at 10 o'clock Monday morning and will prebably occupy the greater por- tion of the week. —_—— Supreme Court Ends Disputes. The Supreme Court decided yester- day that Miller & Lux were entitled to recover $1931 from Kern County for reclaiming swamp lands. The Treas- urer of the county contested the suit !on the ground that action was barred | by the statute of limitations.

With a steady scowl | he watched a dark cloud of feminine | witnesses swear that to the best of their knowledge and belief he had al- ways dwelt in amity with his “gal,” ‘Bldnche Lamore, and that he did not !smash a heavy glass vase by smiting her on the head with . Miss La- | more herself, after a shrinking glance | at Thomas, falteringly stated that she “’membered nuthin’ whatsoever 'bout it, kase both she an’' Mistah Jackson had bin a-drinkin’ togither.” All this was adduced in the face of | Policeman F. H. Flynn's statement | that he had been told by Miss Lamore of the assault and the other witnesses had assured him that Jackson had | smashed the vase—fragments pro- | duced in evidence—upon her cranium. | Prosecuting Attorney Harris despair- |ingly told the bench that there had {evidently been a settlement of the ¢ase out of court, but Judge Fritz abruptly dispelled the grin of hope that was supplanting Mr. Jackson's scowl by ordering a continuance until | to-morrow. | “We cannot have this court trifiled | with by these people,” said the Judge, sternly surveying the bevy of negresses, “‘and we cannot have police effort discouraged by dismissing the | complaint ainst this defendant, of i whose guilt, a8 charged, there is no question. We will see if a way can- not be found to give justice her due in this case, despite the failure of the | complaining Witness to prosecute.” | As the disappointed Mr. Jackson | was returned to durance, Miss La- | more wept and the other ladies shot | sympathetic glances at him. * . . Jane Dillon and William -A. Gran- field yesterday had their second in- ning within a month before Judge Ca- baniss. On their first appearance, abount a month ago, the man was de- fendant and the woman complainant, but yesterday the conditions were re- versed and she stood charged with dis- turbing the peace. | The parties live in the 100 block of Fremont street, and when Mr. Gran- field was arrested for assaulting Mrs. Dillon, she alleged that he had slapped her face after he had subjected her “u oral abuse. In his defense, Mr. | Granfield stated that Mrs. Dillon had | publicly said unkind things about his treatment of Mrs. Granfield; that . when he went to ask for An explana- tion he met her carrying home the family “growler,” and that instead of expressing contrition for what she had said about him, she repeated the in- dictment and added a few counts to it. As there appeared to have been rovocation for the assault, and as Mrs. Dillon had not been seriously in- jured, the court dismissed the com- plaint and advised the parties to inter the hatchet. From the narrative unfolded by Mr. Granfield yesterday, in substantiation of his charge, it would seem that in- stead of. obeying the judicial injunc- tion, Mrs. Dillon inaugurated a cru- sade of persecution against him that made his life a burden. She had gone to his employers, he stated, and in- formed them that he was, to put it mildly, a domestic tyrant, and in other ways she had systematically en- | deavored to “knock” his reputation. | As the defendant was not entirely ! prepared to refute these accusations, | the case was continued at her request. . . Beveral witnesses informed Judge Cabaniss that John Tracy drunk 1s hardly to be identifled as John Tracy sober, so grievously does alcoholic stim- uiation metamorphose the man's nat- urally lovable character. This testi- mony was adduced in extenuation of the ferocity with which John Tracy had attacked Policemen Ryan and Tate when they attempted to arrest him for driving at illegal speed a horse and wagon which belonged to him. So vie- fously did the inebriated teamster as- sail hig captors that one of them was | cbliged to smash his wrist with a club ere he cou'd be subdued. In view of ! the good character glven John Tracy | sober the = court . continued the case | thirty daye to see if he can abstain | during that period from imbibing the liquor that maddens. T Jennie Rosky, who was caught in the act of preparing to jump into the bay, |informed Judge Mogan that she could | not remember exactly the number of i previous offenses for which she had | been sentenced by him. She could swear it was not less than twenty-five, but would not make oath it was less i than fifty. Of one thing she had no doubt, however, and that was her mental condition when she sought a watery grave. She had been drinking beer. “It seems to me, Jennie,” said the court, “that in your case the small in- stallments plan of imprisonment is a ! proven fallure, for you ko) up here ag regularly as you are released, taking up much of my valuable time and sub- jecting yourself to the annoyance of being lectured. 8o, for our mutual benefit, 1 think it would be better to give you a good long term instead of chopping your incarceration into um- even sections, How would six months suit you?” “Just as you please, Judge,” wi nié’s magnanimous concession. “Well, six months it is.” “Thank you, Judge,” said Jennie, gratefully. “Pray don’t mention it—ta, ta, for half a vear.” . . Like most men of his profession Vie- tor Sieler, barber, of 330 Main street, is not averse to hearing himself talk. In- deed, so addicted is he to ventilating his voice that he halde canversa with Jen- FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 11. 1904. himself when he can get nobody else | to lsten. It was thi vocal exercise that brought him into | trouble In the lodging-house at 1.00l Taylor street, where he had engaged a room Wednesday night. Tiring of so- | Mlogquy and finding himself unable to slumber, Mr. Sieler yearned for hear- ers. They joined him in the persons of Mise Etta Parker and Miss Eva Graat, dwellers in the house, and while he lay abed and regaled them with his vaice they ordered beer gt his expense. The liquid was supplied by William Allen, the landlord, who is alleged to have shared with the ladies the charm of Mr. Sleler’s recital, as well as the beer Mr. Sieler is not exactly clear as to how the theft wag operated, but he in- formed Judge Mogan yesterday that in some way he was deprived of $20 by his visitors. When the police heard the barber’s ! story they arrested Miss Parker and Miss Grant for vagrancy and inci- dentally took Mr. Allen in and booked him for selling liquor“without a license. The cases will be heard more fully ' when the police have obtained evidenc: sufficient to fasten the robbery upon the ladies. Twelve women from Belden place were accused before Judge Mogan of | being inmates of disorderly houses. Eight of then pleaded guilty and the remaining four declined to plead. It was to secure evidence that the houses from which the women were taken are of disorderly character that the arrests were made and the pris- oners advised to plead guiity. The testimony thus obtained is reserved for the Superior Court, where effort is being made to prove that the houses in Belden place are rented for immoral purposes. Prospect avenue, between Lizzie and Eugene streets, was depopulated yes- terday morning while Judge Mogan and a jury were hearing the peace dis- turbance case of Mrs. Kaflish and her 15-year-old daughter, Pearl, against Duncan McEachern. The courtroom was crowded witli neighbors of the contending parties, some as witnesses and the majority as gpectators. It was a bitterly fought squabble. Each side had a special attorney and each wit- ness was examined and cross-exam- ined as sharply as if the fate of an em- pire depended upon his or her testi- mony. It develobed that the enmity between the Kaflishes and the McEacherns kad been in active erupntion since about a year ago, when the head of the latter ' family was accused of having attempt- ed to assault the Kaflish girl. He was held to the Superior Court, where a ' Jury acquitted him, and on the stand yesterday he swore that ever since his | acquittal the Kaflishes have flung in- | sult and rocks at him whenever he ventured abroad. On the other hand, the Kaflishes swore that the cefendant seldom migsed opportunity to address offensive remarks to and utter threats against Miss Kaflish, and it was for the purpose of having him silenced that they caused his arrest. The jury took into consideration the evidence, the attorneys’' fervid argu- ments and the Judge's charge. and in half an hour reported Inability to agfee and was discharged. . Angelo Debenchenzi, teamster, hurled unintelligible profanity at his obstinats horse while he cruelly belabored th¢ animal with a heavy whip, and for disturbing the peace he was fined $10 by Judge Mogan. - Judge Fritz continued the case of R. H. Hoag, accused of felony embezzle- ment, the specific charge being that he appropriated to his own use a gold watch, chain and charm belonging to M. Aronsohn of 620 Market street. e ik An impassioned plea by Attorney Mack failed to persuade Judge Fritz to grant a continuance in the case of J. S. Reed, a young fellow accused of obtain- ing money by false pretense, the com- plainants being Whittier, Fuller & Co. The attorney declared he had witnesses in reserve and desired time to produce them, but the court thought ample time had already been afforded for that pur- pose. “Then we ask for sentence now,” said the attorney. “Sixty days in the County Jail,” said the Judge. s . . ' There was no paucity of witnesses in the case of Henry von Arx, accused of having failed to return a $50 suit of clothes he had taken from J. L. Cun-. ningham on January 26 for the avowed purpose of having the - garments cleaned. Von Arx was employed by a clothing renovatory at the time, and several inmates of the house in wHich Cunningham dwelt testified that the clothes had been taken away, as stated in the complaint, while other witnesses | as positively contributed to the alibi that was set up by the defense. As the preponderance of testimony was with | the defendant the court gave him the benefit of the reasonable doubt of his guilt that was established. ey - . * 5 Louis Whitehead, an 18-year-old lad, was held by Judge Fritz to answer in the Superior Court for burglary, with bail fixed at $1000. The complaining witness is Mrs. H. L. Detjen, whose residence at 706 Fell street was entered through a rear window and plundered on March 4. Dr. Arthur B. Nelson's connection with the case of Synovlis against Ge- | rino, in Judge Cabaniss’ court last Wednesday, was merely that of,a wit- ness for the defense. Dr. Gerino was accused of having stolen a vial of gout remedy from Synoplis, and Dr. Nelson | testified that Dr. Gerino had paid $1 for the specific. The case was dis- missed. i e iea— Father Grey Gains a Point. Dr, Thomas F. Brennan, who is charged by Father P. J.

The City Engineer will be directed to | prepare plans, specifications and an es- timate of cost of the proposed improve- | ment, for which provision will in all ! likelihood be made in the next munici- pal budget. The members of the committee—Su- pervisors Rock, Connor and Bratnhart | —expressed themselves in favor of the proposed widening, as it would relieve the congested teaming traffic on the thoroughfare and result in less interfer- jence with the progress of the street ! cars, as In the case of the widening of Third street. The Street Committee referred the petition of the Outdopr League that | action be taken to causeé the removal of | all telegraph and telephone poles with- in the limits prescribed for under- ground conduits to the Department of Electricity for investigation. The de- partment is to make a report as to whether the poles can be removed at this time. Mrs. Emma Merritt, execfitrix of the Sutro estate, and her attorney, E. W. objected to the proposed Fifth avenue, as recommended by the Board of Public Works. The protestants stated that the change would be detri- mental to their property interests, and the committee postponed action for one week to see if some amicable under-| standing can be arrived at by the prop- erty owners. The committee decided to make l personal investigation of the petmon‘ of the Raymond Granite Company tJ construct a spur track in the Potrero, and recommended that Clay street, be- tween Franklin and Gough, be fully ac- cepted.

Redington Lends Paint- | ing by Bannack Warrior to Hop- kins Institute. As an art center San Francisco at- tracts some of the best work of some’ of the best artists of all nations. And now, as a variation, it has acquired lf painting by the wildest kind of a wild | Indian—a pioneer member of the war- | ring Bannack named Feet. on account of having become so crip- pled that he cannot sit a horse any more.

H. Fletcher, curator of the Mark Hopkins Art Institute, in or- der that local artists may have an op- portunity to examine and comment on It ington of Tacoma, its owner, who has refused all sorts of offers for it and would not swap it for the finest canvas on any wall in the country. In the war with Chief Joseph's Nez| Perces in 1877, during which that part of the regular army stationed in the Department of the Columbia pursued the hostiles for more than 1500 miles over the roughest parts of North Amer- | ica, Colonel Redington served as a scout under Captain Fletcher, who was then in the regular army on General Howard's staff. Among the scouts was | a party of wild Banrack Indians under Buffalo Horn, who came out to help| the whites clean up their red brethren | of the Nez Perce tribe. These same Bannacks went on the warpath against the whites the next year and raided ali over Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The war blanket is really historic. It | represents a skirmish that actually happened in the wild Yellowstone coun- try during the Nez Perce war, when the Bannacks tried to set the Nez Perces afoot, but instead of stealing the enemy's horses they lost most of their own. There are figures of more than 100 war horses and Indians in gaudy war bonnets on this blanket, and the shapes | are really good, considering that the Indian artist never saw such a thing as | an artist’s “stretcher,” but merely hung his cotton “canvas” on the tall sage- brush and the sides of his wickiup. It took him a year to complete the picture, and he presented it to Colonel Redington when the latter attended a powwow and war dance of the Ban- | nacks at the Fort Hall agency a few yenn ago. The red man had not forgot- ten that the white boy used to divide “hardtack” with him in the hungry days at the front, when supplies had | run out and food was very scarce. Leon Soeder will appear in Judge Cook's court this morning to be ar- n the charge of murdering r-in-law, Joseph Blaise.
