This fact he communicated to the House Committee on Naval Af- fairs to-day in a hearing granted him on a bill of his own drafting *“to In- crease the efficiency of the navy.” The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to constitute a general board in his discretion, by detailing seven officers on the active lfst of the navy and marine corps not below the rank ¢ captain, for such dutles as the Sec- may from time to time direct. explained that this bill arge his present au- th matter an advisory now has the any number of officers on the board for any retar of he Soc‘(:\v‘y explains, n the hollow of the - Secretary of the Nayy.” it at will and discon- Its functions would will. y advisory. uld always be at the head and that it was proper he have expert advice, but as he respousible to the country he be master of the situation.

Mr. Coffey had arrested himself and then appeared as complainant and de- fendant and eloquently pleaded both sides of his case. “In a Clay street restaurant 1ast Sat- urday afternoon,” said Coffey, the ac- cuser, “I ate chile concarne and ice cream, for which I was unable, on ac- count of poverty, to pay. The pro- prietor of the establishment addressed some insulting language to me and in retaliation I picked up a chair, threw it at him and walked out. That's the case for the prosecution, your Honor, and 1 claim that the testimony you have heard is sufficient to convict me of disturbing the peace.” The Judge bowed concurrence. Then spake Coffey the defendant: “I ask for leniency, your Honor, and | for this reason. After walking out of | the restaurant I could have escaped punishment for what I had done, but | instead I looked around in search of a policeman. There was no officer in sight, nor did I see one until I arrived at the Central Police Station and gave myself into custody for disturbing the peace. The fact that I acted as my own policeman will, I hope, be taken into consideration by this court. The defense is in, your Honor, and I ask for dismissal on the ground that I have already received punishment ample to fit my offense. Thirty-six hours have 1 spent in durance.” “Your self-arrest and the consequent imprisonment will not be ignored by me as completely as you have over- looked some other things you did In connection with your confessed dis- turbance of the peace,” responded the Judge, with full gravity. “For in- stance, you disturbed your stomach by loading it with a mixture of chile con- ! carne and ice cream: but I presume your digestion has paid painful penal- {ty for that outrage. Then you de- | franded an inn keeper out of the price of your incongruous repast. Afterward you deliberately impersonated a police | officer by placing yourself under arrest. These unrecorded offenses serve to off- | set other circumstances of a mitiga- tory character. You must do another twenty-four hours upstairs.” “If you ever catch me breaking into jail again I hope you’ll never let me out,” Mr. Coffey ejaculated, and there was bitterness in his tone. { | W. L.

Cohlan, Who Reminds Him of Unrecorded Offenses gulde that assaulted William Cluff, the well-known merchant, one night recently in an O'Farrell-street play- house, is alleged to be insane by his mother, who says he had been acting queerly for some time prior to his ex- traordinary attack upon Mr. Cluff. Judge Mogan has remanded Ward for examination by the Lunacy Commis- sioners, and will act in accordance with their report to-morrow. s ‘While sauntering, along ~Mission street with a young woman last Sat- urday evening Herbert Wilt was breathing soft nothings and relishing | their effect upon his fair companion when he suddenly heard her character assailed by a masculine voice heavily | laden with anger. Turning around, he stood face to face with Charles Gale, whose vituperative oratory continued to flow until words gave way to deeds and he delivered a sounding slap upon the smooth cheek of she who had pro- voked his wrath. Without waiting to consider possible consequences, Mr. Wilt swung his right fist upon Mr. Gale's left jaw and Mr. Gale went down and out. He was taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital, where the surgeons treated him for a fractured skull, and the man that struck the blow that may prove fatal was taken to jail. In the court of Judge Mogan yester- day the defendant told the story here- inbefore narrated, and there was no contradictory testimony. A report| from the hospital stated there was ul probability of Gale's recovery, and lh@r Judge continued the case till April 23. The young woman in the case did| not appear in court, but it ‘is under- stood that jealousy df Wilt's atten- tions to her and her attentions to Wilt was the cause of Gale's intemperate conduct. S . . While arresting V. N. Stannells for disorderly conduct Sunday afternoon on Steuart street Patrolman Clifford was obstructed in the performance of his duty by Gus Anderson, and in the three-cornered fight that ensued the officer’s star crushed. both his opponents in prisofi, Judge Mogan will sentence them to- day. . s L While returning from lodge at an early hour Sunday morning William Kenney found it convenient to travel | through an alley upon which abuts the rear of a boarding-house, whose front is numbered 148 on Fifth street. rays of the soft and fulsome moon that bathed the firmament with glory failed to illuminate the cobble pave- ment over which Mr. Kenney toiled with uncertain steps, and when he fell over an empty packing case and | awoke the echoes he barked his shins | and howled his anguish. The clatter and the cry awakened Nestor J. Espinosa, a son of Castile, who occupied one of the back rooms of 148 Fifth street, and burglars was his first imagining. Grasping a trusty sword cane he sprang to his window and gallantly prepared to protect nis property at-the cost of his life, if needs be. Mr. Kenney extricate himself from the wreck of the box and interspersing his struggles with profane outbursts, when his head | was sharply smitten with the sword cane in the firm hand of Senor Espi- nosa, who still labored under the de- lusion that he was protecting somebody or something. He, too, attered curse words as he swung his weapon, and | when William Smith, also of 148 Fifth, rushed into the alley also contributed to the battery of Mr. Kenney, and it is belie bearders that subsequently arrived did likewis At any rate Mr. Kenney's head was cut and’ bleeding and he was in a generally usedup condition when the police appeared. Espinosa however, the former for carrying a deadly weapon and the latter for bat- tery. Judge Mogan heard a portion of Com- plainant Kenney's side of the case yes- terday and will hear some more of it next Wednesday. . . For keeping a lottery place at 121 Geary street George Lewis was fined $100 by Judge Mogan and the municipal treasury was at once enriched to that amount. . Judge Mogan dismissed March Him, accused of aiding and. abetting a lot- tery, and incidentally conveyed a hint te Police Sergeant Christensen concern- ing the futility of making arrests with- out having evidence sufficient to justify cenviction. March Him was arrested because he had in his possession five copies of as many drawings in a Cninese lottery, and the Judge sald the police had no more right to take the man into cus- tedy than they would have to imprison a white man caught reading a news- paper containing the result of a draw- ing of the Mexican lottery. “It is by bringing in such cases as this,” his Honor declared, ‘“‘that the police convey to the Grand Jury an idea that they are not encouraged by the magistrates to perform their duty.” aon AL “When T take a few drinks I become a kleptomaniac, and that's a terrible condition for a man to get into, ain't it, Judge?” said John T. Lynch, ac- cused of stealing a clock from the Em- porium, Judge Mogan agreed that klepto- mania is an unenviable penchant, and | then asked John why he did not ab- ' stain from the use of intoxicants when he knew that it- weuld lead him to pilfer other people's belongings. John replied that he is afflicted with an in- satiable appetite for alcoholic bever- ages, and .the court continued his case till to-day. It was the second time that the de- fendant, who is an insurance solicitor, permitted himself to steal a clock in the Emporium. The first offense was punished with a thrashing at the hands of a special policeman. o e Mrs. Delia Greehy, who assaulted Mrs. Hattie Johnson last Saturday in Judge Mogan's courtroom, was pro- nounced guilty. of battery yesterday and will be sentenced to-day.

The .Hereros were in a strong semi-circular position on_a hill fronting the northwest. We first flanked and forced back the en- | emy’s left wing and then attacked the center and right. Two energetic coun- ter attacks of the enemy against our left were repulsed. The enemy’s posi- tion was broken through at nightfall, after eight hours’ fighting, and the enemy was driven back on all sides. The chief forces apparently retired in a northeasterly and easterly direction. ““Our loeses included Lieutenants von Estorff and Von Erffa and two cav alrymen killed, Lieutenant Rosenberg | Iand five men severely wounded and | five men slightly wounded. The en- | | emy’s loss has not yet been ascertained, but was heavy owing to the excellent | effect of our artillery fire. | “Nothing new trnm Von Glazenapp's | eastern division.” —_— e '(‘l[l(‘:\GOA\' NOT LEADING STRENUOUS LIFE OF YORE . Statistics Show That in Last Decade ! Deaths From Nervous Diseases | Have Decreased. CHICAGO, April 11.—A notable de crease in the percentage of local | deaths from nervous diseases suggests | {to the Health Department that the | high tension of life in Chicago is being |lowered and that the people are re- | turning to saner and simpler modes of | living than obtained in the two strenu- ous, nerve-shocking decades following the great fire of 1871. In the same | | connection it is noted that the deaths ;0{ babies from convulsions have de- creased nearly 60 per cent. Comparing the decade of 1884-1893 with the last decade, 1894-1903, the Health Department bulletin shows a | | decrease of 40.2 per cent in the deaths per 1000 of population from all forms | of nervous diseases and of 59.8 per cent in the deaths from convulsions. ; | ¥ i | she glared angrily at her fragile look- | ing accuser and muttered dire lhreats‘ | as she sat in the dock | “Why did you strike this woman?"_ mqum:d the Judge. “‘Because she wants to elope with my i son Johnny and has some of his clothes | in her trunk,” was the answer. 1 “I don’t know her son Johnny, but she is in love with my husband and i | mad because I'm prosecuting him,” Mrs. Johnson declared. | Before the defendant could choke down her wrath sufficiently to permit | of utterance she was pronounced guilty | and hastily removed. One inflamed eve in a somber set- | ting was exhibited by John Frank in| | substantiation of his statement that | was violently assaulted by Frank | an expressman, at Sixth and | | Howard streets. | “Why did he strike asked | | Judge Mogan. | > g 1 | | he | Klein, you?” | “He said that somebody said that I | | said he worked for nothing, and when | | he said that I said I never said—" “Guilty—sentence to-morrow!"" shout- | ed the court. | P It was the sudden increase of solar | heat, Mary Campbell asserted, that af- | fected her limbs so that she was un- {able to walk straight, and also im- | peded her speech so that she could not | | tell Policeman Nelson where she dwelt. Then the policeman took the witness stand and said that Mary was afflicted with acute alcoholism when he picked her up, and he also showed proof that | she was an old hand at that line of misdemeanor. Three months was the sentence handed to Mary by Judge Mo- gan.

He was arrested in Los Angeles and brought back by Detective Reynolds. ADVERTISEMENTS.
