E. Rose Engages in an Alter- cation With Bailiff Mahoney and Then Talks Disrespectfully to Judge Mogan Attorney George F. Rose spent sev- eral of yesterday’s shining hours under detention in the City Prison, with charges of disturbing the peace and contempt of court filed against him by Judge Mogan. From about 10:30 o’clock a. m. until evening's shades were fall- ing the unhappy lawyer dwelt fn dur- {ance. Then he was released on bail to appear this morni#g and hear some more things about what does and what does not constitute becoming conduct in a Police Court. As the legal representative of Henry Selby, accused of having lottery tickets | in his possession, Mr. Rose called out in loud voice to the complaining police- man te postpone the case until a felony charge then under hearing could be. disposed of, and Bailiff Mahoney re-| quested him to keep still. To this the attorney retorted angrily, and attempt- | ed to enter the inclosure and speak to the policeman, and the bailiff again called for order and pushed him back. Angry remonstrance from the attorney ' was followed by a sharp reminder from | the bench that it was the duty of the | bailiff to take into custody any one who created disorder, attorneys not ex- | cepted. Rose retaliated with language | that was disrespectful, and the next! moment he was in the custody of' Bailiff Hickey and among the prisoners ' on the bench. His expostulations con- | tinued until the Judge said he would be obliged to send him to prison if he did not desist, and his reply was that! |he “would rather he up there among gentlemen.” was sent. Up there he accordingly Meantime the defendant represented by the incarcerated attorney walked out of the courtroom without hindrance, | and when his case was called there was no response for the defense. called again this morning. S e Maggie Flaws, chronic vagrant, shed | tears when Judge Mogan sentenced her | to six months’ imprisonment, and as she sat upon the prisoners' bench a professional evangelist who once was | famed as “Rebel George,” confidence operator, took her hand and whispered i words of kindly counsel. His minis- trations were continued until the unfor- tunate creature entered the elevator | that hoisted her back to prison, and then he expressed belief that before her term of incarceration expires she will But po- years opine that she is too old and too vice-hardened to undergo permanent reformation. « o« = There will be no immediate jangling of wedding bells for sixteen-year-old Allie Warner and twenty-five-year-old | H. W. Meyers, because Judge Fritz has sent the lass to a hospital and to-day will send the lad to prison. The pro- posed hymenial solution of the prob- lem that confronted his Honor may be considered “off.” Meyers was arrested for battery, the complaining witness being the girl's mother, who had reason to believe that their relationship was not entirely proper. They were emerging from an Ellis-street lodging -house when Mrs: | Warner met them and Meyers struck her, she alleges, while she was endeav- oring to persuade her daughter to abandon him. At the first hearing of the case Officer Young of the 8. P. C. C. tried to effect a settlement by hav- ing the voung coupde married, and Judge Fritz secemed to approve that idea until he ascertained that the girl's parents, who such a union ‘on the ground that Meyers was not a fit perscn to have control of their daughter. When the case was cailled yesterday the girl was in court and created some- In- affected with a malady that only a sur- gical operation can relleve, and the | Judge promptly ordered her removal to a hospital. Then he found Meyers guilty as charged and ordered him to appear to-day for sentence. RS Frank L. Shannon's slide trombone will not awake the echoes of the Bar- bary Coast for ten days to ccme, for he was sentenced to imprisonment dur- ing that period by Judge Mogan. “And at the expiration of your term,” said his Honor, “you would practice wisdom by conveying your implement of torture to some region far removed | |leged in his complaint, and she was| from the dance halls of Pacific street.” s = s Bernard Shea, Oliver Purcell and Frank White, each in his eighteenth yvear of existence, were empioyved as | messenger boys by the United States Express Company in Chicago when they received their week's wages one Saturday last March and spent the | greater part of the money in a “penny | arcade.” Then, afraid to face their re- spective parents, with a total fund of $2 15 they started for San Francisco. It was rough traveling for the tric, . as the brake beams were ice-sheathed and the temperature of the box cars chilling, but they managed to remain Ogden was reached. Master White got employment and stayed there, and the other two tour- ists resumed their journey. At Elko, Nevada, a job was offered to and ac- cepted by Master Purcell. Master Shea centinued his coastward trip alone. ‘When they had earned enough money to enable them to return to Chicago no time wag wasted by White and Purcell in getting there, for they had enough experfence as roadsters to convince them that there was no bplace like home. But as the wecks sped and nothing was heard of or from Shea by his parents and friends the heroism that attached to White and Purcell on account of their exploit began to wear off, and finally they were twitted with cowardice {n deserting their compan- jon, and some Dpersons even went so far as to accuse them of having “made away with” him. Then they started westward to ascertain what had become of him and to relieve themselves of unj\lnt suspicion. Again they rode in cold b . cars and astride brakebeams. After passing Elko they began to make inquiries, and Dit by bit they traced Shea to San Francisco. Soon after their arrival here last Wednesday the two boys met the ob- ject of their quest on Kearny street. They informed him of the situation in which his absence from home had/ placed them, and he agreed to accom- pany them back there and rehablilitate them in the esteem of their neighbors. PBut he was penniless. So were they. To obtain the price of fares across the bay they all began begging, and almost the first person asked for alms by Shea was Police Officer Farrell in plain attire. The lad was arrested and yes- terday morning Judge Mogan pro- nounced him guilty of mendicancy and ordered him to appear this morning for sentence. Willlam Finnigan, who resides at Golden Gate avenue and Larkin street, was escorting a New York friend of his through the Hall of Justice yenmy afternoon, and while visiting the their attention was It will be, are divorced, opposed | desk sergeant to three boys seated upon one of the benches and engaged in earnest conversation. The New Yorker, who is interested in prisons and prison reform, interviewed the lads, receiving the story hereinbefore set forth, White and Purcell were vis- iting Shea and assuring him that they would remain near him until his sen- tence expired and they had acquired sufficient capital to pay three fares to Oakland, where trains start for Chi- cago. “'Cause you see, si Purcell to the Gothamite, get Shea back home to fix us all right | with the folks.” ““That’s the idea,” said Master White. | “We came all the way out here to get mm.”and we ain’t going back without m. “Before we left home,” said Master Purcell, “all the boys we know boy- cotted us, and not one of the girls, would have anything to do with us.” The result of it all was that the New Yorker offered to pay the fares of the said Master | be persuaded to liberate Master Shea, and after the conditions were explained ;to his Honor he promptly signed the desired order of release. Then the thanked the Judge, shook hands with i their benefactor from Manhattan, ex- pressed sincere gratitude to Mr. Fin- | nigan and sallied forth with beaming | | faces. o James Kelly, originally booked for | robbery, then accused of grand larceny . was convicted of the latter offense and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment by Judge Fritz. Neither of the more seri- | ous charges could be made to adhere | | by a relentless prosecution. =k ile marked it until Patrick Mulkeen and E. D. Feil began to exchange com- ment on the recent Slav repulse in | Manchuria. From that moment good | fellowship waned until the barroom of the grocery at Clay and Fillmore | streets rang with rough-edged repartee. i “England would better keep her hand out of that scrap,” said Mr. Mulkeen, leading trumps. | “Oh, I dunno,” quoth Mr. Feil, rak- |ing in the trick. “England's able to | take care of any trouble she gets into.” | “And Germany, too, would be wise to | hold aloof,” rejoined Mr. Mulkeen. “If she butts in you'll see Russia and France join hands and lick both Ger- | many and England.” “England treated you pretty well by allowing you to come to this country,” retorted Mr. Feil. “You wouldn’'t be | here if it hadn’'t been for the Queen.” Biff! Mr. Feil's eyes received the | blow, and Mr. Mulkeen’'s knuckles ad- | ministered it. That broke up the game of hearts. Mr. Feil went outside and blew a po- lice whistle until Mr. Mulkeen followed him and again smote his face with [clenvhed fist. Then the assafled one pocketed his whistle and went and had a warrant issued for the arrest of Mr. Mulkeen. Judge Mogan heard the testimony and then took the case under advise- ment. . T. Maxwell said he was carrying food street livery stable when a policeman | stopped him, dispossessed him of a six- | shooter and then arrested him for car- rying concealed weapons. The police- man stated that he had acted on in- formation received from some striking | hostlers, who said their lives had been | threatened by the defendant. Further | hearing will be had by Judge Mogan | {on May 11. . . Justin Carroul heard m noises in his residence at 1 Sixth street night before last, and he notified Patrolman Kruck, who searched the dwelling and found Eugene McCabe concealed in one of the rooms.
