B. Wiecz, 49 McAllister street, to the outer air, and that every foot of their progress was bitterly con- tested by Mr. Wiecz and several of his workmen. Mr. Rulfs was arrested and charged with battery. | The testimony went to show that Rulfs manages a stove emporium at | 1404 Market street and that Wiecz pur- | chased from him a stove for $4, of which he paid $3 down and agreed to {pay the remainder if he found the | stove was satisfactory. The try-out proved the stove unsuitable and Rulfs | replaced it with one that also turned | out to be unsatisfactory to the tailor, who claimed it did not properly heat | his tailor irons. | the dollar still due and Rulfs and a trusty assistant went to recover the stove. Thev found it packed with glowing coals, but its temperatyge did not deter them from seizing it. Wiecz and his aids tried to prevent the re- | | moval and in the struggle for posses- sion of the stove several gentlemen sat upon it, but immediately.stood up | again. The Rulfs contingent finally tri- umphed, but not until Wiecz, in retali- ation for his loss of the stove, had snatched a watch chain from Rulfs’ vest, which he kept. After much argument, the case was | settled by Wiecz agreeing to pay the dollar and return the chain, Rulfs promising to return the stove. R T There was no vexatious delay of law | in the cs e of James Rogers, charged He was arrested Sat- urday night while ransacking the room | of John Sewelt at 547 Howard street, and when Policemen Connolly and Krueger searched him they found a bunch of skeleton’ keys and some of Sewelt’s property in his pockets. It took Judge Fritz-about five minutes to hear the testimony and hoid Rogers to the Superior Court with bonds fixed at $3000. Bernard Dressler, who has pursued street begging so long in San Fran- cisco that the police are weary of run- ning him in, was given thirty days for practicing his specialty on Montgom- street. Judge Mogan delivered the . s e dozen citizens who had ig- authoritative summons to as jurors in Judge Fritz's court arrested on attachment and con- ed to that tribunal, where they re- Half nor: a 1 an rve were will probably deter them from repeat- ing their offense. His Honor's remarks were more forcible than courteous. . } Harry Gallagher's wife left his home about a week ago and neglected to re- | turn. Harry’'s search for her was not | rewarded until about § o’clock Sunday | | evening, when he perceived her aboard a Mission and Kearny street car that was crossing Market street. She was accompanied by a man with whom she seemed to be on terms of familiarity, | for she was laughing and talking to him. quested the woman to return to his bed and board, and while the two were dis- | ng the suggestion the other man struck the husband’s face with his fist. Then the trio mixed, and when thPy appeared before Judge Mogan yester- day morning each of them had visible evidence of the affray. The other man turned out to be J. D. Bertkin, a Mis- sion street restaurateur, and it devel- oped that Mrs. Gallagher had been working for him since she left her hus- band. After hearing both sides of the | story the court dismissed Gallagher and pronounced the gallant Bertkin | guilty of assauit. S kS ‘When the name of Thaddeus Kauffelt | was called in Judge Mogan's court | there responded in person a good-look- ing young chap attired in full evening dress. His expansive shirt front was | not as immaculate as virgin snow, nor | was the sheen of his patent leather | made, for he had spent some hours in | the tanks of thg City Prison. But, nev- | ertheless, he cut such an exceptionally genteel figure for the Police Court that | the Judge stared at him. The prisoner | did not seem to relish the scrutiny, and | Bailiff Hickey offered odds that he was |some heavy swell who had been out |on a nocturnal lark, but Clerk Gray | | declined to bet. | Police Officer Earle testified that | early yesterday morning he caught Thaddeus in the act of drinking a bot- tle of milk that had been left on the | doorstep of 1374 Eddy street. When,_the court asked Thaddeus what his regular occupation was Thaddeus replied that he was a professional waiter and was on his way home from work when the policeman arrested him for no cause that he, Thaddeus, could remember. Then the policeman said he could get the inmates of 1374 to corroborate his testimony, and he was given a week in which to round them up. The defend- ant was returned to fhe cage, where, | among the tatterdemalions therein con- fined, his fine raiment loomed like a first-water diamond on a soiled sweater. . s Experts have been appointed by Judge Mogan to decide whether certain | holes in the cellar walls of the Travers | residence, on Second avenue, Richmond district, were made by bullets fired from a pistol such as is usually carried by Special Policeman Fred Helbush or by missiles of some other caliber. Their report will be filed March 26. The case of Fred Tapley, who was codefendant with Helbush, has been dismissed. oI *“Come geven—come eleven!” was the invitation that assailed the hearing of Policemen Skelly and Small last Sat- urday evening as they were passing Charles Hamilton's cigar store, 356 Third street. Although the official number of neither of the policemen is seven, nor yet eleven, they promptly entered the shop and hastened to tae rear room, and there they found thir- teen men engaged in an exciting game of “craps.” So deeply absorbed were the players in the gyrations of a spec: kled bone cube cast by one of their 3 ‘Wiecz refused to pay | ceived an address from the bench that | Harry boarded the car and re- | pumps as brilliant as it could have been | AFTER BRAVE STRUGGLE Seller of Heating Apparatus Succeeds in Getting Possession of It From a Tailor Who Finds It Unsatisfactory and Refuses to Pay a Dollar Due number that they did not perceive the uniformed intruders until the hand of the law was literally upon them. At least that is what the two officers tes- tified vesterday before Judge Mogan, and the thirteen defendants did not at- tempt to contradict the story. They were given till next Monday to plead. N Martin J. Silk, chronic vagrant, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment after he had Ingeniously but vainly endeavored to convince Judge Mogan that the disorderly conduct of which he had been proved guilty had been more than provoked. He was arrested on Market street for creating a dis- turbance in front of a cigar store, and he pleaded that the envy aroused in | him by the physical graces of a young man who stood behind the store coun- ter gradually gave way to ire as he realized how unkindly Providence had | treated him in its bestowal of personal icharms. As he gazed at the Apollo- like form and features of the cigar | seller and then contemplated his own | Calibanesque appearance he became filled with a great anger and would | have spoiled the beauty of the former | —*“Handsome Jimmie,” as he called him | —if a policeman had not fortunately ar- | rived in time to stay his threatening | hand. | “But, Mr. Silk,” said the court, “all |of us can’t be models of masculine | beauty, you know, and it is our duty to put up with whatever our allot- ment of good looks may be. Besides, there is a proverb which says, ‘Hand- |some s as handsome does’ and I find that your character is on a par of unloveliness with your external make-up. Perhaps six months in jail | | may improve your mind, if not your | looks. At any rate, that is the sentence 1 prescribe for you.” Mr. Silk did not seem to be in the least affected by the severity of the | | sentence. | | | Wesley D. Thomso# was talking as | he slept when he attracted the atten- tion of the night watchman of a San- | some-street warehouse, and further in- | vestigation disclosed to the property guardian’s gaze the recumbent form of | Wesley, also a window which he had broken in order to obtain admittance | | to the premises. The defendant opined ‘ | that he must have been “doped” ere | | he laid him down to sleep in the ware- house, as he had no recollection of | how he arrived there. After Judge Mogan had satisfied himself that Wes- ley did not mean burglary when he‘ ! broke the window, he fined him $5 and | orderea him to pay for the property damage he had inflicted. n iy Thomas Malone spent Saturday | evening at the Spider Kelly ball in Mechanics’ Pavilion, where he alter- | nately dallied with Terpsichore and | Bacchus until he was go fatigued, both | | physically and mentally, that he was unable to walk without staggering. That was how he came to jam his head through the plate glass window of a Ninth-street restaurant. He promised | to pay for the broken window, and as | ‘he had already expended a consider- | | able sum for sticking plaster, Judge | Mogan told him to step forth a free man. | . . Mrs. Nora Hartnett had her young child with her last Saturday evening when she met her friend, Mrs. George | O’Brien, and invited that lady to par- | take of liquid refreshments. Three hours later the two women were in- toxicated and the little one was weep- ing when Officer Fogarty found them at Taylor and Ellis streets. Judge Mo- : | gan’s opinion of the maternal care| | shown by Mrs. Hartnett was neither | | complimentary nor equivocal ‘as he| fined the defendants $5 apiece. ! ¥ oo Sarah Martin has been given until Friday to prepare a defense against the charge that she stole $180 from | Steven Sedowy at 423 Washington street. . W. J. Barrett and Thomas Peck had several bottles of beer in their pos- session when Officers Dowd gnd Brown overhauled them last Saturday night on the water front, and Judge Mo- gan yesterday continued the vagrancy case against them until the policeman can discover where the beverage was | obtained. H OO Edward Boulard, a stableman, did not relish the interest in his welfare ! manifested when his employer had him | arrested for drunkenness. The em- ployer yesterday requested Judge Mo- gan to send the defendant to prison and have him kept there until he loses his inordinate craving for liquor, as delirium tremens would be likely to overtake him if he were allowed to re- main at large. This request the court heartily granted. ‘“‘Save me from my friends,” said Boulard, sarcastically, as he was led away. “T'm trying to save you from your- self,” was the Judge's retort. ———— Kelly's Relatives Wanted. Chief Wittman received a letter some days ago from an undertaker in Kansas City, Mo., asking him to locate the relatives of Frank Kelly in this city. Kelly died suddenly in Kansas City on March 14. He had been work- ing as a cook and in a barber shop and had said that Chief Wittman knew his father, and brother. The Chief has been unable to find any trace of them. Kelly was about 35 years of age, had very dark brown hair, dark mustache and was about 5 feet 8 inches tall. —— The Luxurious Way. Every Californian should go to the St. Louis World's Fair.

STILL FIGHTING ROCK CRUSHERS Three Ordinances Recently Defeated Are Reintroduced Before the Supervisors LAW IS NOT ENFORCED | Schellberg Complains There | Are No Safety Locks on Sidewalk Elevator Doors TSRS The three ordinances extending the limits within which it is designed to prohibit blasting and rock-crushing | and regulating the same outside the | prohibited district were again intro- | duced in the Board of Supervisors yes- terday and referred to the Street Com- | mittee. The ordinances are identical with those recently vetoed by Mayor | Schmitz, the vetoes having been sus-| tained by the board. The bills were re- | introduced at the request of the Fair-‘ mount residents, who are decidedly op- | posed to the establishment of a rock- | crusher on Thirtieth street by Gray| Bros. P. Schellberg of 85 Fremont street in- | formed the board that notwithstanding | | the passage of the ordinance requiring safety locks for sidewalk elevator doors the great majority of them is still with- | out locks, and the roll of deaths result- | ing from the lack of the locks is con- stantly increasing. Schellberg says that, the matter has been brought to the at-| tention of the Board of Public Works, | which claims it has no money to pay inspectors, although in the last budget | five inspectors of buildings were pro- vided for, whereas only three are ap-| pointed by the board. Schellberg asks | that the Supervisors insist upon the Board of Works appointing the neces- | sary inspectors to insure public safety. | Several housemovers complained that the ordinance imposing a license of $25 per quarter upon them was not being | properly enforced so as to make it uni- | form. The Board of Works, the License | Collector and the police say they are| not responsible in the matter, and the | Supervisors are asked to provide the necessary relief. 1 The City Attorney was asked for an opinion as to whether the name of Lynch street should be expunged from the official map of the city.

HONOLULU, March 13.—Andrew Brown, for eleven years superintend- | ent of the Honolulu water works, has resigned at Governor Carter's request, as a result of delevooments following of the department by E. V. Richard- | son, chief clerk. The Governor de- cided that Brown had not been strict | enough with Richardson. The latter | is held under $5000 bail and Gover- nor Carter is personally taking an in- terest in the case. In the past there have been many cases of a similar nature in which there have been no prosecution, in | view of the persons making good their shortages. Carter says that the ad- ministration will vigorously prosecute | every case. D. H. Lewis, a saloon-keeper in whose establishment Richardson is| known to have-lost some money gam- | bling, was arrested and fined $75 for | permitting a gambling game to be | conducted in his place. Richardson’s shortage, as shown by the books of the | department, is stated to be $2800.
