The defendant, a bright looking lad, stated that ever since Mabel be- came a bride she has been afflicted with an annoying k2bit of returning to the home of her girlhood and “boss- ing” it, just as she did for a long ‘ime | before she changed her name. So long as she had nobody else to “boss™ Dannie did not seriously object to be- ing nagged, but with a husband to manage she might, Dannie opined. be overworked by attempting to retain her former domestic authority. consideration was partly responsible for his revolt when she visited her mother Jast Thursday evening and with old time tyranny of tone and ac- tion bade him begone and never re- turn. x Judge Mogan confessed inability to | convict Dannie so long as his mother, [the real “boss” of the Smith house- hold, defended his resistance of Ma- bel's effort to evict. Sk o » David de Costa, barbef, slinkingly confessed that he had systematically swindled Mrs. Rosa Latimer, widow, of 415% Natoma street, out of $8 on the 224 day of last February, and Judge Mogan has the confession under advisement. Mrs. Latimer qaad a room to let when De Costa, who resides with his mother at North Beach, engaged it and gave her in payment of $2 rental a $10 Confederate greenback, accept- ing eight genuine dollars as change.

Amos Buffum, chauffeur, was without license to run his automobile, the Scar- | let Scorcher, when he left the vehicle on Bush street, between and Dupont, and entered a elf with a drink. | that was only one of the charges ted with Amos Buffum’s name zdge Fritz’'s calendar. “Another one was “‘maliclous mischief,” and it is the textjof the story. No soomer was Amos comfortably leaning upon the bar and pouring out his drink than the machine at the door ward at a fifteen-mile-an-hour ciip. Its speed was accelerated by the steepness of the declivity and ds it crossed Kearny street it was llke unto the proverblal streak of greased lightning. Not until it neared Montgomery did it swerve from the straight and narrow asphalt, and then it abruptly switched into the tailoring shop of J. R. Smith, demaging the front of that establish- ment and injuring its own gear. There it coughed and sputtered until Patrol- man Skelly rescued it and arrested Amos Buffum as soon as he appeared | to claim his property. | Amos Buffum failed to appear yes- tepday morning before Judge Fritz and his $30 bail was ordered forfeited. The Scarlet Scorcher is undergoing repairs. e Sergeant L. H. Hoffmaster, United es artillery, was fined $20 for dis- hing the peace, while Private W. H. of the same corps was taxed that sum for the same offense. Judge Cabaniss heard the cases. The defendants were among the pas- sengers on an inward bound Hyde- street car,, and engaged in an altercation with Gripman Jackson resulted in their expulsion from the vehicle by a police- man called for that purpose. They were ed in the heart of the tenderloin and Jackson triumphantly re- d his journe On his return trip, however, the car was bearded in mili- tant fashion by the two defendants end seferal other sons of Mars, and hen the gripman endeavored to re- t the invaders he was roughly hand- led by them. Then the two arrests made. ivate Miller was fined $60 because it was proved that he had hurled a brickbat at the gripman's head, and t the missile missed its target by a s-breadth Sergeant Hoffmaster ed nothing more dangerous than his hands and tongue during the at- tack. hair o iar. & Nichol Kelly's ingenious plea failed of intended effect upon Judge Fritz and a sentence of three months’ imprisonment for pettty larceny was handed down. Mrs. Jette Weinstern was removing her household effects from a house on McAllister street when Nicholas picked up her from the sidewalk and walked off with it. To the policeman who arrested him Nicholas declared that he was merely searching the pockets of the garment for a screw- driver which he had lost and had no intention of stealing it. This explana- he repeated to Judge Fritz. f my memory is not at fault,” said his Honor, “you were once convicted of stealing a bicycle and I gave you six months.” “That’s what you did, Judge,” cheerfully confessed Nicholas, “but I | was as innocent of that charge as I am | guiltiess of this one. The bicycle was | standing in a hallway when I stumbled over it and as we rolled out to the street together a policeman arrested me for stealing it.” coat “If your ingenuity were honestly exercised it would bring you wvast | wealth,” said the court. I S Py | ~ | | | Mary Quinn, her husband and their two children occupy the second story | of 283 Geneva street and the first floor harbors the household of Mr. | Burke. Between the two families ! there has been unkindly feeling for some time, the cause of which was | variously explained to Judge Mogan, | before whom Mrs. Quinn stood ac-| cused of disturbing the peace of the | Burkes, with Mr. Burke pressing the | charge. He stated that Mrs. Quinn | vas given to frequent overindulgence in intoxicants and while under their influence did everything she could think of that might annoy him and his family. A favorite act of hers was to drop ashes ‘from the rear balcony of her domicile upon the garments which Mrs. Burke had washed and suspended upon a line to dry in the | yard below. | “The old man is all right, your; Honor,” said Mr. Burke, alluding to Mr. Quinn, “but the old woman is a howling terror.” Mrs. Quinn instantly bridled up and : denied the impeachment. “My old man’s an old soak,” she shouted, “and | I'm a good girl.” i “Guilty of peace disturbance and | passing of sentence deferred till Mon- " said the Judge. e ] ——— National Guard Ball To-Night.

Hutton is fighting hard to free himself from punishment for the alleged violation of the injunction issued ta Jean Pon restraining the police from interfering with his restdurant business at 1129/ Dupont street. When the contempt proceedings against Hutton were called before Judge Cook at noon yesterday his at- m Johnson, interposed a demurrer to the effect that the af- fidavit of Pon did not state facts suf- ficlent to constitute contempt and that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter or over the person of the respondent. Johnson argued at considerable length in support of the demurrer. He said it was evident on the face of the petition and affidavit that the respond- ent was not a party to the injunction, nor did it run to him as a servant or | employe of the-party or parties en-| joined. As the respondent was not a party to the injunction nor described | in the injunction he could not be held | in contempt for violating it. The per- sons enjoined were the Chief of Po- lice, a captain of police, a sergeant and all policemen. It did not run to any Police Commissioner. He quoted a Nebraska case where the Mayor, al- | though knowing that an injunction | was in force, instructed city employes to violate it and was purged of con-| tempt. { Attorney Collins replied that the Nebraska case referred to did not ap- ply, as the Mayor did not advise any of the parties enjoined to violate the | injunction. In the Hutton case the| respondent was being . prosecuted for aiding and abetting those enjoined to violate the injunction and this made him an accomplice. After further argument the Judge asked both sides to submit authorities and he would render his decision on Monday morning. The other contempt cases were continued till that time. Police Commissioners Howell, Drink- house and Reagan were in court to| testify as to the proceedings at the se- | cret meeting when it is alleged Hutton | hi was made “special Chief of Police for | 1129 Dupont street,” and they were told to return on Monday morning.

LIUOR MEN [GNORE LA Grand Jury FiudsA That Many Saloons Near the Pre-| sidio Do IHegal Business, W‘ \ | | MRS S ACQUITTED OF THEFT| Two Firemen Charged \Vith Burglary Dismissed hnd Conlan’s Aetion Approved The most important matter for dis- cussion at the session of the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon was the un- lawful selling of liquor by saloon-keep- ers whose Dlaces of business are in the neighborhood of the Presidio entrance on Baker street. The saloon-keepers of that neighbor- hood are only licensed to do wholesale business, but it is said that a retail trade is openly carried on in all the shops. Soldiers in uniform can always be seen loafing in the many barrooms | or lounging about the tables and bars inside. It is said that they are given all the lquor they want, but should a well-dressed citizen ask for a drink he would be told that the house was not allowed to retail liquor. The state of affairs was made known by The Call several months ago, but though the police have been informed time and again of the unlawful trn.de{ no effort has been made to put a stop to it. Several members of the Grand Jury that were told of the retail business being carried on dressed themselves in | bars in question. In all of them they | were served drinks in glasses. The Grand Jury will submit the matter to the Police Commissioners, with instruc- tions to investigate. At the suggestion of the Board of Public Works the Grand Jury yester- day instructed the Department of Elec- |+ proianas Greatest Prima Donna Sopramo. tricity to repair the electri¢ wiring m‘ the Almshouse, as the present wmngi is extremely dangerous. { The Grand Jury also approved the re- cent action of Judge Conlan and the Fire Commissioners in the matter of Thomas Commins and William Mur- phy, two firemen charged with bur-i glary. The case was dismissed. i —_————— Burglars in Butcher Shop. ! Denis Gallagher was booked at the | City Prison yesterday morning by Spe- cial Officer R. T. Harvey on a charge of burglary and Paul Durney, a boy 11 years of age, was booked for a pub- ! lic institution. Harvey found the boy | ding in an icebox in the butcher shop of Fred W. Held, 1303 Buchanan | street. The boy confessed that he and | Gallagher had broken into the place | and Gallagher had tried to force open the safe. Gallagher was found later. | ————————— Marine Fireman Drowned.
