Engineer Corps Contests the Suit to Confiscate His Baggage WARES FOUND HIDDE) | Government Seeks to Get Nineteen Hundred Pesos From the Military Man | Before United States District Judge De Haven.yesterday was begun the trial of the condemnation proceedings instituted by United States District At- | torney Woodworth on behalf of the | United States against Captain William | H. Harts of the United States Engi- | neer Corps and certain dutiable arti- | cles alleged to have heen found con- | cealed in his baggage. | It was alleged in the declaration filed !hy Mr. Woodworth that Captain Harts | arrived at this port on July 10, 1903, on | board the United States transport | Thomas from Japan and that he made {a declaration and entry of his bag- gage before the Collector of Customs in which he did not mention at all 16 bolts of silk, 42 silk doilies, 32 pieces !of silk and embroidery, 21 pieces of drawn work, 6 kimonas, 2 lace collars, |4 pieces of pina and jusi cloth, Satsu- | ma gold lacquer ware, Satsuma and | cloisonne vases, jewel cases, silk table cloths, etc., all of the home value of $417 85. The duty on this valuation | was $239 19, making a total of $657 04, |and under section 2802 of the Revised Statutes of the United States the pen- alty for failing to make a declaration {is three times the sum of the home {value and the duty, amounting to $1971 12, together with interest and | costs of suit added to the whole. | The defendant filed a contest to the | declaration in which he denied that he |came from Japan and asserted that | he came from Manila and that the ves- | sel incidentally touched at Japan on | the way out here. | He averred that he had no memo- {randa by which he could have fully | set forth all of the articles mentioned together with the cost price, and he | therefore struck out a printed clause |in the passenger declaration because | he could not truthfully subscribe to it. | He stated further that he did not make {a detailed list of any articles | baggage, intending thereby to indicate that he submitted his baggage to the | personal inspection of the proper cus- | | tom-house authorities, but he truly de- | clared six trunks, three vags, one box and one other package, sleven pieces in jall. He denied that the articles men- tioned were of a greater value than {$351 85. The additional defense was pleaded that because he came from the Philippines—a domestic port—there was no penalty for his failure to declare. | Captain Harts also denied that he had attempted to defriud the customs ser- vice and had been and was ready at all times to pay whatever duties might be imposed. A denial was also made |of the charge that he had concealed the articles. Customs Inspectors Charles A. Steph- ens and J. Lundquist testified that they found the dutiable articies ‘“‘coneealed” in the center and in the sleeves of four dresses, seventeen skirts and one coat, the personal wardrobe of Mrs. Harts. | The wardrobe was not dutiable, and the dutiable articies were so stowed away as to escape discovery during an | ordinary examination. Al Dixon, a newspaper reporter who was present at the search, corroborated the testi- mony of the inspectors. It was developed that Captain Harts sailed from Manila and that his wife | boarded the transport at Nagasaki and brought with her the trunks in which the confiscated articles were found. Deputy Customs Surveyor ‘Chauncey M. St. John testified that Captain Harts had preferred charges of discourtesy | against him; that an investigation into the charges had been had by special agents, and that the Secretary of the Treasury and Attorney General Knox had exonerated the customs officials from any blame and had commended hem for their action in the matter. The trial will be continued on Mon- i { ¢ 1 *| ! FREE FREE [ TO WANT ADVERTISERS In next SUNDAY'S CALL. | WALKER'S SELF-PULLING CORKSCREW. ! (Patented.)

FREE WITH NEXT SUNDAY'S CALL Two favorite themes furnish subjects for the brush of Thomas Moran, N.

Mr. Moran’s attention was first attracted to the possibilities of Ameri- when he accompanied the United States Govern- ment expedition under Major Powell to explore the Yellowstone country.

They added: “The| ijury annot understand why the wound | was §ill bleeding at the second pack- | ing of the wound at the Central Emer- gency Hospital.” It appeared from the testimony of William H. Hollis that Dr. Pawlicki| was the first surgeon who treated the case at the Central Emergency Hos- pital. William H. Hollis testified also that Dr. Pawlicki suggested that the | patidnt should be taken to the McNutt | Hospital for private treatment, but Hollis decided to send Read to the German Hospital, where he was treat- ed by Dr. G. C. Brackett. Dr. Brackett testified that when he examined the patient /he found the wound bleeding and was obliged to “repack’” it. ‘When the jury brought in the verdict Coroner Leland stated that he had re-| dressed bleeding wounds that had been attended to by the best of surgeons, and that the comment of the jury was not called for. The jurors, however, re- fused to allow the paragraph to be stricken out. They said that Dr. Brackett would not have mentioned the matter of the rebandaging of the wound unless it was something un- usual. The Coroner thereupon signed his approval of the verdict. —_————————— Settlement Concert.

Suit was filed yesterday in the Jus- tices' Court by Mrs. C. E. Morann to recover $17 50 from Annie C. Cum- mings and John Doe for hair bleAch- ing, hair dyeing and hair work done at the latter’s special request DISAPPROVES MATOR'S VETOES Supervisors’ Committee Re- ports Favorably on Bills| Limiting Rock Crushing R The Supervisors’ Street Committee yesterday considered the Mayor’s vetoes | of the two ordinances extending the limits within which it is prohibited to carry on rock crushing and rock quar- rying, and filed a recommendation with | the board that the bills pass notwith- standing their disapproval by the May- or. The committee assigns the same reasons as were given in its former report that two identical ordinances pass 'in spite of the Mayor’s vetoes, which were sustained by the votes of Supervisors Alpers, Bent, Lunstedt, Finn and Rea. The Street Committee reported in fa- vor of denying the recommendation of the Board of Works that Mission street between Second and Third be repaved and the sidewalks narrowed by four | feet on each side at an estimated cos!l of $9200. The committee holds to the opinion that the money should be ex- pended in doing necessary street work in other portions of the city. Chairman O’Connor stated that he did not favor tearing up a good pave- | ment while other streets need repair- ing, and referred to the bad condition of Merchant street, which property owners petitioned to have repaved. The repaving of Mission street is included in the bond issue. The committee expressed itself as op- posed to the petition of Deering & Raebinson that the street sign ordinance be amended so as to permit of the maintenance of wooden signs, but took the petition under advisement. The Union Oil Company was granted | a permit to lay a spur track en Illinois street, which had already been con- structed without a permit having first been obtained. The fences obstructing the roadways of Beacon, Castro and Diamond streets were crdered removed. The petition of the Pacific Auxiliary Fire Alarm Company for permission to lay underground wires was referred to the Board of Works for favorable ac- tion. H. C. Holmes wns granted a permit to explode blasts’ for grading purposes at Green and Sansome streets for a period of six 1aonths. Similar permis- sion was granted to George Ryan for four months oh Army street, near York. Street work was recommended on Nineteenth avenue; Hoffman avenue, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty- “fifth avenues; I street, between Four- ] [AYOR ORDERS INVESTIGATION Cites Chief Surgeon Brack- ‘ett to Defend Himself From Serious Allegations e Mayor Schmitz decided yesterday to kold an investigation this morning at | 10 o’clock of the charges made against Chief Emergency Surgeon George F. | Brackett that he had demanded and received fees for work done in his of- | ficial capacity. Subpenas were issued by Secretary Keang for Mrs. Fannie Ames of 612 Stanyan street and M. Fleishhacker, who accused Brackett, and their testimony will be heard. The transcript of testi- mony taken at the Coroner’s inquest over the death of the husband of Mrs. Ames, who was killed in an elevator in Fleishhhacker’s factory, will also be placed in the hands of the Mayor. Brackett appeared at the Mayor’s of- fice in the morning, but his Honor was absent and later decided on this morn- ing’s investigation. Brackett appeared much disturbed over the declaration | of the Mayor that unless he could dis- prove the charges he (Brackett) would be removed. Brackett reiterated his previous assertions that he had a letter of vindication from Mrs. Ames, but said nothing about the charge made by Fleishhacker that the latter had charged him a fee of $5 and Brackett had de- manded $100 more.
