Horn and Edward Saita were apiece for playing craps Satur- ht in the Mechanics’ Pavilion social event, which had been seemed to prefer gaming or fighting to| tripping the light fantastic. No less than fifteen crap games were simulta- neously in full swing in as many differ- ent parts of the big building, Mr. Horn said, and Mr. Saita estimated the num- ber of pugilistic encounters during the evening at twenty. Policeman Kracke, who made the arrests, also said the amusements were varied. “More craps and ‘scraps’ than hops, eh?” facetiously remarked Judge Mo- gan “And more tin-horn sports than act- ors,” added the officer. > » v advertised as “the actors’ ball as in progress. According to| the statement of the defendants Terp- | sichore was shamefully neglected by | the participants in the revel, who| | Police Officer Ogden was in plain at- tire when he induced Ruby Arlington | to sell him an alcoholic beverage and then arrested her for doing so without a license. “I think this case is a shame,” said Miss Arlington to Judge Mogan, “and I'll tell you why: This man goes to work and comes to my room at 109 Tay- lor street, and when he goes to work and raps at the door I goes to work and lets him in. Then he goes to work and asks me to sell him a drink, and when 1 goes to work and gets him one he goes to work and flashes his star, and then goes to work and arrests me. Then 1 goes—" “To work,” was the judicial interrup- tien, “and corroborates the story he has just told—that you sold llquur‘ without having a license to do so.” Miss Arlington then went to work and asked for a continuance, and the ting May 2 as the date of the next hearing. .

She onined that Mr. Quinn was either stu- pidly drunk or maliciously mischie ous when he staggered against her e ions treasure as it invited public inspection | in front of her establishment on M ket street. Mr. Quinn said the wind [blew him against the showcase, but the policeman who found him wan- dering with his hair full of shattered glass and plaster had no doubt of his inebriety. The Judge, after ascertain- ing that the showcase alone was worth 25, ordered Mr. Quinn to p that Mrs. Gillman, who expressed to overlook the intrinsic foot. sum willin to of the value ST “Olaf Hansen!" shouted Bailiff Hickey, and “Oh, Laugh Hansen an the world laughs with you” immedi ately added Clerk Grey But there were no visible evidences of laughter »ossessing the of Mr. Hanse he heard himself for- mally of grand larceny by William O'Keefe, able seaman, who testified that he w robbed of open-faced silver watch, his nine-y old briar and a leathern purse while he dallied with the defendant in the Spanking Breeze saloon.

Sunday on Broadway and shoc tolk who passed him on their w church. The policemen who arrested im testified that Manuel had blas- phemed in English with a fluency that denoted thorough acquaintance with the language, but not one word of it would he utter in court. Through an interpreter, however, he pleaded that he had lost his hat and was provoked fanity by failure to recover it. “Well, Manuel,” said the Judge, “I will sentence you to-morrow, and now advise you to have ready all the money you can scrape up, as your fine will be no light one. Church-going people must be protected from hearing such language as this policeman heard you indulge in.” Manuel’s face reflected perfect knowl- edge of what the Judge said to him. - The maximum penalty for vagrancy will probably be handed down to B. Masuda when he appears before Judge Mogan to-day for sentence. He looked as if he had just stepped out of a tailor’s spring fashion plate when he faced the bench, and when a policeman and several other witnesses had testi- fied that he lived by levying blackmail on Japanese women of the underworld he was not in the least ruffled by the disclosure. 11 bet that your spring suit will be 2 back number by the time you get out of this scfape,” Bailiff Hickey whispered to the defendant. The wager was not booked. . William Ryan and John McDonald, teamsters by occupation and both ap- pearing to have passed man’s allotted three score and ten, mumbled the story of their trouble to Judge Fritz. John was the complainant and battery the charge. William testified that John had asked him for $5 and that he had responded by declaring that he had other uses for his hard-earned poney than squandering it upon John, who, thereupon, called him a “blind old miser,” which he had resented by *‘biff- ing” John. “You bovs ought to be ashamed of yourselves,” said the Judge, and then he dismissed the case. . . For stealing a shotgun and some trinkets from the room of Police Officer Edwards at Frank Willlams was before Judge Mogan and had his case continued till Thursday next. A man who occupied an adjoining apartment caught Frank emerging from the policeman’s cham- ber with the plunder and auietly fol- lowed him until he had opportunity to give him into custody. Williams de- clined to inform Judge Mogan whether he knew he was robbh’ policeman. —_—————— Will Investigate Mongolia. - United States Local Inspectors Bolles and Bulger will begin an in- vestigation next Thursday into the stranding of the Pacific Mail steam- ship @ongolia on a coral reef off Per- nambuco, Brazi e It's up to you to ask for Hills Bros.'

MacDonald is | suing his wife for divorce on the | ground of cruelty, alleging that she' | hurt his feelings by making written | charges against him to the members of Hesperian Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, in which she said he was a drunkard and many other uninviting things. She is opposing his suit, and in a cross-complaint repeats the charges she filed with the organization. Judge | Sloss took the case for deliberation. Mrs. MacDonald was represented by | Attorney Stephen Costello. | | Joseph N. Kowalsky, the merchant, | | who is being sued for divorce by Etta Kowalsky, in an affidavit filed yester- | day opposes his wife's petition for ali- mony pending the suit on the ground | that she has sufficient means to main- | tain herself and defray the cost of the {action.

Mills was granted a di-| vorce from E. T. B. Mills, secretary of | Nevill & Co., the bag manufacturers, vesterday by Judge Seawell on the ground of cruelty. Her charge was based on the fact that her husband spent too much time in the company of ,a woman who lives at 2508 Clay street. A feature of the case was the appeal ance of the defendant's two brother: W. L. B. Mills and F. G. B. Mills, as | witnesses against him. They both tes-| tified that his conduct was displeasing to them and that they had frequently | spoken to him and asked him to mend his ways, but without avail. He con-| tinued to appear in public with the| woman and neglected his wife and two children. C. A. Sweet of Goldberg, | Bowen & Co. testified that he had fre-| quently sent groceries ordered by Mills to the Clay street house. Charles B. Stone was also a witness, his testimony being the same as that of the defend- | ant's brothers. —_————— ONE YEAR IN JAIL FOR DASHA AND DEMPSEY Alameda County Will Board Them | and Wong Din at the Expense | of Uncle Sam. William F. Dasha, Thomas J. Dempsey and Wong Din, who were convicted of conspiring to “substitute” Chinese in the County Jail, were sen- tenced yesterday by United States Dis- trict Judge de Haven to imprisonment for one year in the Alameda County Jail. A stay of execution was ordered for three days in favor of Dasha and Dempsey in order to afford them an opportunity of settling their business | affairs before going to prison. Hem Toon, another defendant in the same case, has appealed and was admitted to bail in the sum of $3000. —_———— Change Made in Charge. The application for a writ' of ha- beas corpus for the release of David de Costa, charged with robbery, was dismissed by Judge Cook yesterday with instructions to charge him with grand larceny and an order was made that ff complaint were not filed against him within that time in the| Police Court he was to be discharged from custody. A complaint was filed against him forthwith before Police Judge Mogan. The complaining wit- ness against him is Mrs. Rosa A. Lat- imer, 415% Natoma street. On Feb- ruary 2 De Costa, it is alleged, went |into her room while she was sick in bed and stole $8 from her. The po- lice say that De Costa passed a num- ber of Confederate notes on unsus- pecting landladies. —————— Longshoremen Engage in Fight. Four longshoremen had a fight at Duncan and Church streets shortly after midnight yesterday morning and Andrew Anderson, 323 Duncan street, and Peter Munk, 1530 Church street, | were cut with a knife. Paul Keenap- fel and R. Schintzler were arrested by Detectives Cody and Taylor and | locked up in “the tanks.” Schintzler {admitted doing the cutting, but claimed it was done in self-defense. Munk, who was only slightly cut, was also detained, and Anderson was sent to the City and County Hospital, YOUNG PEOPLE [SURGEON BRACKETT'S CASE GOES FINALLY TO BOARD OF HEALTH 'Mayor Schmitz Will Submit His Opinion To-Day and Libel Suits Are Likely to Follow in Event of Official Losing Position as Result of Charges el i = - F s EORGE F. BRACKETT, CHIEF RGEON OF THE EMERGENCY HOSPI- V' WHO MAY BE CED TO RESIGN AS THE RESULT OF THE CHARG! THAT HAVE BE PREFERRED AGAINST HIM. o+ Emergency Hospital Surgeon Brack- ett still occupies his position and the investigation by Mayor Schmitz of the charges against him will be referred to the Board of Health by the Mayor to-day. Just what the chief executive will recommend to the board, his Hon- or declined to sav beyond that his in- tention js to submit a written state- ment of his findings. Attorney Leon Samuels, who has ! been representing Dr. Brackett, called on the Mayor by appointment yester- day morning and went over the evi- dence taken on Friday. The confer- ence was executive and at its close Mayor Schmitz announced that he would submit the result of his investi- gation to the Board of Health to-day. The argument presented by Samuels was along the line of unreliability of Fleishhacker’s evidence and also that | Dr. Brackett had not broken any rule | | of the hospital when he demanded and accepted the fee of $5 from Fleish- hagker, as the rule had not been pro- mulgated by the Board of Health at that time. Another point upon which the attorney laid considerable stress was the discrepancy in the matter of time. His contention was backed by the evidence ‘of Dr. Brackett, Dr. Howe and Mrs. Brackett that the con- versation regarding Ames’ condition was held over,the phone on Saturday, while Flieshhacker swore it was Sun- day. Taking that as a basis, Attorney Samuels contended that Fleishhacker's testimony was unreliable throughout. President Ward of the Board of Health and Dr. Brackett jointly held a conference with Mayor Schmitz, but at its conclusién neither would state the object or result. The general supposition ‘around the City Hall is that Dr. Brackett will be removed and Dr. I. J. Stephen ap- pointed in his placec When Attorney Samuels was asked what course Dr. Brackett would pursue if he were re- moved, he said: i “If Dr. Brackett is removed on this charge it will be unjust and he will at once take steps to vindicate himself. In the first place, I do not think he will be removed, but if he is suit for libel will be instituted against Coroner Leland and Mortimer Fleishhacker.

McGlade was brought from San Quentin yesterday by a dep- uty sheriff to Judge Cook’s court to have his trial on the two remaining charges of forgery against him set. On motion of his attorney the cases were continued to May 9 to be set. The alleged forgery was committed in 1898, when McGlade was book- keeper in the office of the Superin- tendent of Streets. He is now serving a term of eight years on one charge of forgery. His confinement has appar- ently agreed with him. He has lost thirty pounds in superfluous flesh. I LA Alummae Election.
