V. Meyers, State Commissioner of La- bor, that official end Judge Mogan en- gaged in quite an interesting contro- versy and the court won most of the honors. W. ¥. Unfred and F. W. Bell, propri- Jessle street, were arrested on April 1| and charged with violating the statute which makes it compulsory to have the health of the machinists emplioyed in such establishments protected by de- vices which carry off the metal dust that otherwise might enter the lungs of the workmen. Judge Mogan then told the defendants that it was their duty | to comply with the law in that respect and they promised to do so, pleudlngl that they had not already done so be-' cause the devices interfered with the proper working of the machinery. At| the same time the Deputy Labor Com- missioner who had made the arrests was instructed to see that the court's order was carried out and to report | vesterday, and when the case came up vesterday the Judge was Informed that the deputy had been told by Meyers to pay mno atention to the court’s in- struction. “Did you say that?” inquired Judge, sharply, addressing Meyers. “Well, not exactly,” was the reply. “I may have said something like that, because 1 considered our duty of in- spection finished when the arrests were made. We are State officers.” “You are public servants,” declared his Honor, “and as such it is your duty to press to a conclusion any case you may commence. I have noticed that your demeanor in this court has been discourteous to say the least, and I de- sire to have you understand that no contempt will be permitted.” “Discourtesy has been shown me,” argued Meyers. “You are discourteous now, would not remain seated wh h addressing this court,” said the Judge. Attorneys and others who are just as good as you are do not assume an ar- the rogant disrespectful attitude while they are addressing this court.’ Meyers, who had been seated throughout the discussion, moved un- easily in his chair, but said nothing, and the Judge saved him from further embarrassment by ordering the cases dismissed. Continued bickering in the family of Prosper Viencke culminated in his arrest n complaint of his wife, alleging battery, and when the case was called before Judge Fritz it was set over from time to time at re- quest of one or other of the contending attorneys, the apparent purpose being | to effect a settlement out of court. That | this was finally done came to light yes- | terday, and that it did not result as satisfactorily as the defendant desired was also disclosed unsel for the defense asked for | dismissal on the ground that since the case was started the parties have been divorced, and that the husband had | div transferred to the wife half of the community property. The Judge saia|Judge, and then he ordered another | that the subsequent divorce did not | wipe out the battery charge, and that | he must find the defendant guilty. Then the attorney pleaded that one of the ndi of settlement out of | hat the battery charge | dismissed, and when the inquired by what au- condition had been pro- i the attorney answered that his | client had been so assured by the legal Juminary on the other side. The latter d to the bench and asked if he had ever given such assurance, and, v what right had he undertaken te rp the prerogatives of the Judge. H nied the accusation, but the other | awyer stuck to it, and the defendant, | was cal ed too, declared it was true. There the| matter was allowed to rest. Viencke will be sentenced to-day. Thomas White and Max Peters were walking along Kearny street about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and while : € a soberly clad stranger one | of them uttered the word “damn,” | which =o shocked the stranger that he stopped the young men and began de- | ivering a vehement exhortation on the €in of profanity. Instead of giving a respectful hearing to the homily Mr. White and Mr. Peters interrupted it by flippantly chiding its author for “butting in” where he was not wanted; =nd their irreverent remarks so e perated the stranger that he expressed a wish that they would be damned. Yhen they laughed at him until he struck ome of them, and while they were endeavoring to retaliate in kind he suddenly blew a loud blast on a police whistle and nimbly ran away. P’atrolman Cavanaugh responded to the shrill call and arrested White and Peters for disturbing the peace. And the godly man who butted in— what became of him?” inquired Judge Cabaniss when he had heard the po- liceman's story and the defendants’ vxplanation. He ducked before him,” replied the officer. “1 think it would be unfair to punish these men while the chief offender is at large,” was the signal for dismissal of the case I could grab Fred Ferrea and Lung Chee were bat- tling in Chinatown, when a patroiman arrested them for peace disturbance, and yesterday morning Fred convinced fendant monopolized the blame. Fred said that he met Chee, who had a basket pole across his left shoulder and while was squeezing himself past the Chinese the latter jabbed his ribs with the pole, swiped nis face with the umbrella and then jostled him until in self-defense he was compelled to fight. Fred was dicharged from cus~ tody and Chee will be sentenced to-day. . e s Eleven vagrants, classified as “box- car bums,” were given twenty-four hours apiece by Judge Fritz. They had been rounded up in the Southern Pa- cific yards by Special Officers Madden and Barry. “Ain't you de Judge wot only de odder day advised a bunch of hoboes #0 hit de plke for de eou‘xllryf" in- | streets, | farmer and had not | morning | while | Spirit,” | their regard for quired one of the defendants, address- ing the bench. “That’s what,” was the answer. “Well, we was e-tryin’ to ride out on de rattler w'en dese bulls copped us. Wot's de use of yer advisin’ a mug ter do a t'ing an’ den givin’ him twenty-four for a-tryin’ ter do it? Is dat justice?" “Ah, but I didn't advise you or any one else to steal a ride. ‘Hitting the pike,’ as I interpret the phrase, means walking on the highway. And that's what I would again advise you to do as soon as you are at liberty to walk abroad.” “T'anks.” “Don’t mention it. & e e After getting Charles, her husband, | arrested for battery, Mrs. Martha Jackson relented and informed Judge Fritz that it was by accidentally fall- | ing over a stove that she received the she pleaded, my only means of support.” “I don’t believe the stove story,” said the court, “and I'm affaid that Charles and you must live apart for a while. I'll sentence him to-morrow.” BRI Willlam Hayes, aged and possessed of only one serviceable eye, and his son Stephen, aetat 34, and far gone in | tuberculosis, were before Judge Mogan on the charge of vagrancy. They had taken up sleeping quarters in an empty | and Gilbert | basement at Brannan and the owner of the place feared that they might accidentally set fire to it and burn him out of house and home. After promising to go to the Aimshouse they were dismissed. There is in the court of Judge Fritz a milk-adulteration case that has dragged long and furnished an excep- tional example of how the art of “pass- ing the buck’ is practiced in effort to balk justice. Health Officer Mish arrested a gro- ceryman for having among his wares a can of lacteal fluid that contained more than the legal maximum of aqua. The groceryman pleaded that he had not watered the milk, but was selling it just as It was delivered to him by a dairyman. Subpena issued for dairyman, who appeared and testified that he had purchased milk from a “‘doctored” it in any way. Farmer subpenaed, and he passed the responsibility up to the cow, by swearing that he had not watered the milk taken from her. ““As we can't subpena your cow,” said the Judge, “and as she might be an unwilling witness if she were here to testify, will you be so good as to | explain how the milk taken from her diluted | happened to be too heavily with water?” The guileless person of pastoral pur- suit immediately complied. cent heavy rains have saturated the pastures,” he said, “and the grass con- tains an unusually large percentage of moisture.” “I suppose we must issue a subpena for the clerk of the weather,” said the continuance. Suspecting Ruth Preston’s affection . | was in process of transference to the keeping of a detested rival, Edward Clifford wawlaid her last Saturday evening as she was sauntering along Kearny street with the ostensible ob- ject of nolding tryst, and he accused her of fickleness and otherwise up- braided her until she lost her temper and retorted warmly. Then he struck her and they were entangled in a rough- and-tumble mix-up, when the in- evitable arrests were made. In the court of Justice Mogan yesterday Edward looked as if he had been having an uncomfortable time, Ruth appeared in a stunning tailor-made of creamy white, with pic- ture hat to match, and seemed to be amused rather than terrified by her po- sition. Both the defendants pleaded not guilty' to disturbing the peace and their defense will be heard to-morrow. i A e Naughty little boys annoyed Mrs. Elsie D. Lasher of 2510 Sutter street | until she deluged them with anathemas | and water and thus disturbed the | peace. To Judge Fritz she explained that her feminine neighbors did not seem to approve her spiritual belief, which was that of psycho therapeutics. “Which means?” ventured the court. “That I am inspired by the Divine was the answer. “If this court does not help me,” she added significantly, “a higher one will.” A bevy of Mrs. Lasher's neighbors The case was continued. i e corroborated what she said concerning her. Every one of them pronounced her a disagreeable person. Francis Hanska, a German, was ac- cused of terrorizing certain inmates of the Spanish boarding-house on Broad- way in which he dwelt. Thomas Price, a fellow boarder, testified before Judge Mogan that the defendant had held a knife in proximity to his (witness’) throat and threatened to sever his windpipe, and that he then transferred his menaces to the landlady of the es- | tablishment, who had been made ill by the experience. Further testimony will be heard next Thursday. * gty Four times did Charles Wilson, a druggist, return to the Geary street sa- lcon from which he had been forcibly ejected before he was taken in by a considerate patrolman, and then both of his eves had been blackened and other sections of his countenance bruised. He will tell his side of the story to Judge Mogan next Friday. R S Patrolman Burns was in full uniform when he arrested seventeen boys at Harbor View last Sunday and charged them with crap-shooting. The only proof he could furnish that they had so offended was the finding of two dice on the spot where he caught them grouped. He did not see them shoot craps, nor could he swear positively that they did shoot craps. “The next time you go forth to cap- ture crap-shooters,” said Judge Mo- gan in a kindly way, “wear plain clothes and mix in with the persons you suspect of chucking the bones. Then you will have something stronger Charles is | “The re- | ADOLPH SYLVA WINS CONTEST Supreme Court Thinks ’l‘hat‘i Sausalito Man Failed to| Secure Justice at Trial | VERDICT IS CRITICIZED Two Other Defendants Gain Freedom and Fourth Must Stay in Asylum at Ukiah —_— | Adolph Sylva will not have to serve | | three months In the Marin County Jail | as decreed by Judge Lennon, accord- | ing to a decision handed down by the | | Supreme Court yesterday. The “ex-| | boss of Sausalito” was convicted of- assault upon Attorney L. C. Pistolesi. He maintained that the instructions of the court were inadequate and erro- ! neous, and the State’s highest tribunal | sustains his contentions, p Pistolesi represented the plaintiff in the case of Farley vs. Sylva. Judg- ment was secured against the Marin | County pplitician and his law books were levied upon. Attorney Pistoles, {in company with Deputy Sheriff R. G. | | Lichtenberg and Constable Paul i Trouette, went to Sylva's house for the | | purpose of seizing the books. Sylva ! was not at home, but the visitors found | ‘a small boy on the premises, who pro- | | duced the keys to the house. I | Pistolesi and the deputy sheriff were! about to enter, when Sylva appeared | and inquired what they were doing. They informed him of the purpose of | their visit and he became enraged. | After calling Pistolesi a *‘grand lar- | ceny thief” and other less euphonious | names Sylva secured a gun and, point- ing it at the attorney, ordered him | off the premises. Florence Sylva, de- | ‘ fendant's sister, appeared at this junc- | ture, revolver in hand, and gave Pisto- | { lesi a verbal castigation. | The lawyer, the deputy sheriff and | the constable finally went away with- i out the law books. Then Pistolesi had | | Sylva arrested for assault with a dead- | |1y weapon. The jury found the de ’ | fendant guilty of assault and Judge ! | Lennon sentenced Sylva to three! | months in the County Jail. The Su- | preme Court says that the defendant | | could not be deemed gullty unless it | | was shown that the gun was loaded | and that he attempted to discharge it. The court gave W. H, Owens his free- {dom yesterday. The defendant was | held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Mogan for alleged com- plicity in a robbery committed Decem- ber 6, 1903, at a Howard-street saloon. | It was shown that Owens had become | acquainted with Howard, the real rob- | ber, by accident and knew nothing of | the scheme to hold up the saloon. The court held that the indictment | |in the case of M. M. Shearer, a physi- clan employed by the Supervisors of | Sonoma County, was faulty. It was | alleged that Shearer had embeuledi | | i i i county funds. The petition for a writ of habeas cor- | pus in favor of Arthur Marten, who is | | confined in the asylum at Ukiah, was | denied. | ————— | Black Again Identified. % Elhammon Treese, who was held up and shot by masked robbers on the night of March 20, and Mrs. Butler, ! who was with him at the time, called as the City Prison yesterday after- noon to have a look at Jack Black, ! alias Tom Callahan, ex-convict, who | was arrested on Friday night.

Concealed on the person | of each was an empty beer bottle, and ! the complaining policeman opined to Judge Mogan that the weapons were superfluous, as there had not been a really exciting “scrap” during the en- | tire day at El Campo. The defense will be heard to-morrow. PRt | Policeman A. G.

OFFICERS’ SHORTCOMINGS -.CAUSE ROW AT PRESIDIO Colonel Pitcher Says His Subordinates at the ‘Post Must Pay Strict Adherence to Dis- cipline While He Is in Charge of Affairs +- £ LS ACTING COMMAN AUTHORITY WA WILLIAM E. Al EFIED BY LIE U NOW UNDER ARRES GHTH INFANTR NANTS MORRIS T IN QUARTERS ¥, U. 8. A, WHOSE >." FOOTE AND AT PRESIDIO. TE S Lieutenant William L. Colonel termined to have order in that regi- ment. He is an officer that displays neither fear nor favor. Shortly after the Twenty-eighth ar- rived from Manila the commanding officer, Colonel Owen J. Sweet, was taken ‘ill'and is now in the hospital. Colonel Pitcher took command, One of his first duties wis ¢o issue Circular 12, which referred to the condition of | the cantonment barracks. The result of this was that Battalions 1 and 3| were reprimanded, and the officers ordered 'to remain in the post until the orders of the circular were fully com- plied with. Under this ban came First Lieutenant | William B. Aiken and Second Lieu-| tenant Morris C. Foote. Both of these| against the orders of the commanding | officer and, while they were supposed to remain within the confines of the post, they are reported to have ab- sented themselves during this period. The measures adopted by Colonel Pitcher, while only in accordance with the regulation of army rules, did not seem to meet with the general favor | of certain junior officers. The colonel is not a man tq be bullied. He or- dered the camp cleaned up, and he was | going to have it cleaned, and so far as he was concerned that was all there | was_to it. There was not much time, to do this, as his orders were positive | that the cantcnment should be placed in first class condition before the | which | 1 was yesterday morning. SECURE PRIVILEGES. | The orders confining tne officers to | the post were not at all in conformity | to their ideas, sc several of them called upon Colonel C. H. Noble, commander of the Tenth Infantry, and asked him | to intercede in their behalf with Col- | onel Pitcher. While Colonel Noble had | wne absolute autherity over the acting commander of the Twenty-eighth In- fantry, he nevertheless paid a personal vigit upon that officer and had a friend- 1y consultation with him on the sub- ject in question. This happened the latter part of last week. The result was that an order went forth grant- ing the officers” of Battalions 1 and 3 their regular privileges. In the meantime, however, Lieuten- ants Aiken and Foote, it is reported, - had both absented themselves from their quarters in direct violation of the orders of Colonel Pitcher and for these alleged demeanors they are both now under arrest and each is confined to his separate quarters in the post. What the result will be is not known. Colonel Pitcher, however, is deter- mined to have discipline at any cost. and it may be, unless these young of- ficers abide entirely within the com- mands of their senior, that a court- martial may be staring them in the fac This is not the first time that Lieu- tenant Aiken has had trouble with his superior. officers. He was court-mar- tialed in the Philippines for absence from duty and reprimanded by the court, which resulted in his losing several files. Lieutenant Foote is the son of Brigadier General Morris C. Foote, retired, an officer well known for his valor in fighting during the Spanish-American war. SHERMAN IS COMING.

FARMING AIDED BY DYNAMITE Washington Man Believes Arid Land May Be Redeem- ed by Breaking Hardpan EXPERIMENT IS TRIED Theory Advanced That Solid Stratum Prevents Moisture From Rising to Surface Special Dispatch to The Call TACOMA, Wash., April 18.—A unique scheme for mak'ng barren land fertile is being tri-d at several places in Eastern Washington and alsc near Pendleton, Oregon. After some experi- menting with good results, farmers are using dynamite to break up hard pan stratum, which lies just beneath the surface. Superintendent McDill of the Pendleton Poor Farm has found that excellent soil exists o2neath the hard pan, together with an abundance of water. The hard pan keeps the -moie- ture from coming to the surface and Ilikewise prevents trees or alfalfa roots from penetrating down to the moisture. In consequence the surface of the ground is dry alkali and will grow nothing but sage brush. By breaking up this stratum of hard pan, McDill figures that the moisture will have a chance to rise and the roots to go down. Crops are being planted over a large area of ground where dynamite has been used for this purpose. Com- plete results will not be known until fall, but if the crops grow as expected, dynamite will become an important factor in breaking up the sage brush land underlaid with hard pan near the surface. S RS AR OPERATE DREDGERS IN THE YUKON COUNTRY John J. Rutledge Tells of Purchase of Modern Machinery for Use in Far North. TACOMA, April 18.—John J. Rut- ledge, a prominent mining man and promoter at Dawson, announced there on his return from California that three gold dredgers costing $600,000 will ‘be taken into the Yukon basin this summer. The Forty Mile Com- pany, which owns the concession from the mouth of Forty Mile River to the boundary, will take in one dredger. In this company Rutledge is interest- ed. Former Governor William Ogil- vie will take in another dredger for use on Stewart River. The third one will be taken into the Atlin country. The dredger bought by Rutledge while outside has been used in California. The company did not have time to construct a new dredger in season for use this summer and accordingly pur- chased one already at work in the California placer districts. Rutledge announces that tweo big American concerns will invest heavily in Klondike mining this season. They purpose buying large areas of hydrau- Hc ground and working them by hy- draulic plants or dredgers. —_——— Match in Mine Causes Disaster. PITTSBURG, April 18.—Guinani Bellimo, a laborer in the Nixon mine of the Pittsburg Coal Company at Heidelberg, is supposed to have drop- ped a light, which exploded a charge of powder in the mine, killing him and injuring nine other miners. Fifteen men escaped unhurt. 2 Neilson was concluded by the court- martial yesterday morning. The docu- ments in the case will be handed to General MacArthur to-day and it will be the latter part of this week before the findings are announced. The trial of Lieutenant George S.

Lieutenant Benjamin J. Edger Jr. and Lieutenant Samuel M. Waterhouse will be examined this week for pro- motion to captaincy. The examination board consists of Colonel George H. Tormey, Major William Stevenson and Captain James M. Kennedy. The incident of the sentry firing upon Chris Schmid and party of friends while passing Alcatraz Island on Sunday will be thoroughly looked into by General MacArthur. The case was laid yesterday before the com- manding officer, who was greatly sur- prised to know that such an act had been committed. He announced that he would investigate the matter and would ifmmediately confer with Major A. R. Paxton, Thirteenth Infantry, now in command at Alcatraz Island. WILL ADVERTISEMENTS.
