T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904 O « NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA® — 15 NOT SIG OF INSANITY St Judge Greene Decides That Man in Senses May Seek to End a Life of Pain LAST WILL SET ASIDE Hartery Does Not Come Un- der Category of What He Names as Sane Suicide| —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1016 Broadway, June 23. A man can be the sanest of men and still commit suicide, according to the expressed opinion of Judge W E. Greene to-day; but Michmel Hartery whose will is being contested, was not one of these. When iliness becomes o great that there is little enjoyment left in life 1 can understand a man balancing up ne against the other and forestalling what he beclieves to be the inevitable, +aid Judge Greene in the course of re- marks made by him at the probate of the H ery will to-day. By Hartery's acts shortly before hie death ge Greene, however, is oOf the opinion that he was not sane and | that there was not sufficient cause for him to commit such an acl. The de- eased lived at Haywards and was! possessed onsiderable means. His wife was jll in San Francisco, and he complained to friends that her family vas getting all of his money. A few days before he killed himself he gave J. F. Reynolds, president of the Oakland Meat Company, a deed to property at Haywards valued at about $10,000. A couple of hours before his death he wrote an order to the Oak- land Savings Bank to give his wife $1i00 be had on deposit there. He had a brother with whom he had never quarreied and a niece of whom he was very fond. He gave neither of them a cent. Most of his property was given to & comparative stranger, and to the wife, who, it was alleged, was the cause of his insanity, he gave all that he had left. From these actions Judge | Greepe held that Hartery was not of | sound mind. Under this ruling the entire estate goes to the widow. The only property in her possession at the time of his death, however, was the money he other left her in the bank. If the money is to be recovered from Rey- nolds it must be done by another suit. —_— DESPAIRS AND DIES WHEN OUT OF WORK Albert Johnson, Failing in Efforts to Secure Employment, Ends Life With Carbolic Acid.

Frederick M. Heyneman, despondent from lilness and lack of employment, swallowed strychnine this afternoon at his home, 812 Castro street, and then called his wife and four children to say good-by to them. Little Claire, his 11- year-old daughter, was the first to re- spond to her father's call. In the base- ment she found him in convulsions. With a scream of terror the child ran out, alarming the neighborhood. Dr. J. T. Kitchings was summoned, but Heyneman was dead before the physi- clan arrived. For many years Heyneman was a hackman and stableman in this city. His health failed some time ago, when (he was attacked by rheumatism. For seven months he had been unable to work. ¥ach day’'s sufferings added to his burden. At noon to-day he went to 4 nearby drug store, bought strych- nine and returned home with the poi- son. He went to the basement, took the powder and was dead at 2:30 o'clock. The Coroner took charge of the body. Heyneman was 43 years old, a native of California. His father was one of the first residents of Oakland, having for years conducted a large garden re- sort on the site of City Hall park. —_————— REMOVES BOYCOTT AGAINST OYSTER HOUSE UNION Proprietor of the Blacklisted Sparta Signs an Agreement With Coo0ks and Waiters.

A certified copy of the articles of in- corporation of the Denver, Northwest- ern and Pacific Railroad Company, with a capital of $20,000,000, was filed ?lilreflt?‘—day.ad This is the so-called ‘Moffatt road,” now buildi Denver to Salt Lake. 2 DENVER, June 23.—David H.

Those who say we have stopped where we are and cannot go farther for lack of money are the usual howlers, If these present them and 7wl e s ot ine them lot us alone. = DAVID H. i'&m'm'-r.'“ Four thousand tons of steel rails have been ordered for the Moffat short line by General Manager A. C. Ridgeley, and within a few months thirty additional miles of track will have been laid toward the ultimate goal—Salt Lake City. ' “We do not intend to request bids for the big tunnel for six months,” said Moffat, “and will use the track on the hillsides until it is finished. But we are pushing work beyond the ranges and intend reaching the coal and cattle country beyond as soon as possible.” —— DIFFERS WITH HARRIMAN, IT IS SAID, AND RESIGNS NEW YORK, June 2.—Edwin Haw- ley of this city has retired from the executive committee and directorate of the Southern Pacific = Railroad Com- pany. Difference of opinion with the Harriman interests over the manage- ment of the Alton Railroad is, how- ever, thought to have been the cause. Hawley began his railroad career in 1867 and for years was one-of the late Coilis P. Huntington's trusted agents in the development of the Southern Pacific. He was best known af” gen- eral traffic manager, although his sphere of influence extended to all de- partments. He is credited with hav- ing negotiated the sale of the Hunt- ington interests to the Union Pacific, ———— ISLAND GOVERNMENT VICTIM OF SHARPERS e HONOLULU, June 10.—By perjury #nd faise statements the Hawalian Government has been robbed of twen- ty-three acres of public land on the island of Hawaii.

TURNS IN [ |GRAND JURY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY ITS FINAL REPORT Much Talk of Extravagance and Misspent Money---Credit Hard to Get---Improve- ments Effected in Municipal Institutions OAKLAND, June 23.—The Grand Jury submitted its final report to-day and was discharged by Judge B. F. Ogden. One indictment was returned. Former Constable KEa. Weidler was found guilty of malfeasance in office and ‘embezzlement. A bench warrant was immediately issued for his arrest, but it is believed that he is now in Canada. In regard to the conduct of the coun- ty affairs the jury made an exhaustive investigation and had the following to say on the, extravagance in county management: We beg to report that In the matter of the Contra Costa Water Company's assess- ment the crasures referred to were made by clerks in the Assessor's office during the per- formance of their official duties and had no effect gisastrous to or jeopardizing the in- terests of taxpayers. In the matter of the mutilation of the rec- ords in the Recorder's office found that the binding of about seventy-five books had been mutilated, but the evidence obtainable by the jury was insufficient to incriminate any verson or persons. The Grand Jury found that the Coun- ty Jail has been kept in first-class con- dition under the administration of Sheriff John Bishop, with the single exception that the Chinese quarter, which is used for the United States prisoners, is somewhat overcrowded. Regarding the charges brought against the management of the Coun- ty Infirmary the report was as fol- low: . The jury made thorough investigation Into the charges brought against the management of the County Infirmary, more particularly regarding fraud in drug: we beg to report we could find no evidence to support the charges brought against Dr. Clark. After investigation of the charges of ex- travagance in furnishing the cottage of the superintendent this body finds the charges un- founded. There has been considerable criticism re- garding the expenditure of money for the County Infirmary: inasmuch as this is a charitablg institution and the expense per capita as compared with other large cittes very moderate, we recommend that additional facilities be granted and the institution be made thoroughly up-to-date. RACETRACK CENSURED. The Oakland race track came in for a severe scoring at the hands of the jury in the following words: We deplore this Insufficlency In the statutes and the number of loopholes left for the escape of gullty parties because of technicall- tles and vague laws. This applies In particular'to the racetrack at Emeryville, the very hotbed and source of crime. The county stinks with this evil, and all honorable consideration should be given to_the limiting of its corruption. Emeryville was incorporated for the purpose | of prohibiting interference with the vice to be carried on within its boundaries, millions of dollars spent, and as a reward we recelve defaleations and ruln to our institutions, both public and private We recommend that a more definite law be passed governing poolselling and the necessity of confining all horseracing within the State to two weeks in the year The jury investigated the matter of slot machines and caused all money paying machines and gambling de- vices to be abolished throughout the county, except such machines as are run as merchandise machines, which they were advised are run under the protection of the law. With regard to street signs and obstructions the jury recommended the regulations govern- ing and regulating billboards, fences and street obstructions, more particu- larly in front of buildings in course of erection, be thoroughly revised and enforced, especially within the fire limits of the city, these regulations to include proper passageway and pro- tection to pedestrians in front of buildings in course of construction. The Grand Jury submitted the fol- | lowing report regarding the charges | against Supervisor H. D. Rowe: We have investigated the charges brought against Supervisor H, D. Rowe in regard to hlj ing charged excessive mileage, and in our judgment Supervisor Rowe did not, over- charge mileage, but acted within the la% pro- | vided to govern Supervisors in the matter of mileage. Inasmuch as it has come to the attention of the jury that the Supervise:s _contemplate changing the grade of the ground around the | Courthouse, we comsider any such change | would be an extravagant and useless expendi- ture of public moneys and that no additional light would be given to the basement as @& Te- | Bult of proposed work. We strongly recom- | mend that the proposed change be not made. The grounds around the county buildings in Onkland we find are taken care of at an ex- pense of two hundred and forty-five dollars per month, far which expenditure the work done is entirely inadequate, the grounds around the Courthouse being in a deplorable condition, and that this is by far too great an expendi: ture for services rendered, The Board of Supervisors' refusal to pay the claim of C. S. McMullin for $20,000 for the discovery of assessable property which was not on the assess- ment roll is sustained, This is the jury's stand on the in- firmary deficit: In the matter of the deficit in the County Infirmary . amounting to about $17,000, inasmuch as special legislation has in the past been provided for the payment of a deflcit in the city and county of San Francisco, we rec- | ommend that such special legislation be enacted as will place the credit of the county on a proper basis and that future Boards of Super- visors be o governed by such needful amend- ment to the county government act as will pre- vent a recurrence of this deficit in any fund, and the finances of the county should be s0 managed as to leave a bajance in each fund at the end of the fiscal year. In relation to the extensive repairs being doge about the Courthouse at the present time, we criticize the Supervisors for entering into an. agreement for mechanical work, such as paper hanging and painting, at an expense’to the county of $6 per day for eight hours' work, when the master painters’ charge for private work is but $4 50 and §5. The District Attorney’s office was renovated at the enormous cxpense of $1030, being for material furnished and 135 days' labor at $8 ver day. In the matter of moneys paid to indigents, we find that the amount of money pald is largely in excess of last year, and we find no reasonable explanation of this, and recommend @ more careful expenditure of the public money for these cases. We indorse the plan of the Board of Super- visors to co-operate with the different charita- ble organizations, and believe this co-operation will be productive of a saving to the ‘county. In the matter of extravagances In purchases for the eounty, we find upon Invi gation that the highest prices are often pald, and, in order o carry out the idea of purchasing from local merchants, the county is obliged in some cases to pay a very large percentage more than | Boods could be purchased for in the Open mar- 2 £ CREDIT NOT GOOD. These matters are a just cause for complaint by taxpayers of this county and should be rem- edied. ’ | We find that, notwithstanding the wealth of this county and the large amount of taxes collected, the merchants are obliged to watch the different funds available before extending credit to the county, and some refuse to sell to the county under any conditions. It fréquently happens that, owingito the probability of there being a defloit in the several funds of the coun- ty, and bills not being. paid promptly, mer- chants_in making their bids put some at a much higher price than they would accept if | they were sure of getting their money. The credit of this county should be as good as that of the United States Government, and the war- rants on the county treasury should not have to_be disposed of at & discount. We Investigated the condition of the town- hip jails at Pleasanton and Livermore and found the jail at Livermore in an unsanitary condition, which has since been remedied. We recommend the building of an additional town- ship jail, steel lined, at Pleasanton, this being neeessary on account of the overcrowded condi- tion of the jail at certain times during the ear. ¥ Having Onished the duties for which we were impaneled, we respectfully request your hon- orable court for our discharge as members of this Grand Jury. Very respectfully submitted, E. H. MARWEDEL, Foreman. MAILLER RLES, Oakland, Cal., June Secretary.

Dr. J. P. H. Dunn, a well-known physician of this city, had a narrow escape from death on the Eighth-street bridge this evening while returning from a call on a patient in Eagt Oak- land. The accident, which resulted in the permanent injury of one of the doctor’s valuable horses, was caused by the rot- tenness of the planking of the bridge, which in some places is so decayed that it will scarcely support the weight of a man. The svot where the accident hap- pened is near the east end of the bridge. Dr. Dunn was driving at a rapld pace when suddenly one of the horses stepped upon one of the rotten planks. Both of its fore feet went through the bridge and the horse was thrown, tear- ing the harness and breaking the pole of the buggy. . . The sudden stop threw Dr. Dunn from the seat and he narrowly escaped being hurled over the dashboard under the struggling horses. By the time the creature was extricated from its plight its fore legs and shoulders were gashed and torn by the splintered planks, and the horse was permanently crippled. The frantic struggles of the animal smashed a large hole in the flimsy flooring, which broke away repeatedly. Dr. Dunn on his return immediately notifled .the Street Department of the condition of the bridge, which has been out of repair for a long time. ———— CALIFORNIA GIRL A STAR ON EASTERN TENNIS COURTS Miss May Sutton of Pasadena Reaches Semi-Final Round in Cham- pionship Event.

GETS ESTATE Son of John W: Havens to Inherit Mother’s Share in the Goeyey Company COMPROMISE ~ CONTEST Brothers of the Deceased Woman Give Up Their Ef- fort to Obtain Her Property Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 23. The contest over the estate of the late Gertrude Goewey Havens, wife of John W. Havens of Berkeley, has been compromised, and to-morrow the formal notice of the dismissal of the ) contest will be presented to the court. The Infant son and heir, born a few days prior to the death of Mrs. Havens, by the terms of the compromise, will Inherit all of its mother’'s interest in the Goewey Estate Company of San Francisco, valued at about $30,000 and bringing in a monthly income of be- tween 875 and $100. John W. Havens, father of the in- fant, was ‘appointed its guardian by Judge W. E. Greene this morning for the purpose of effecting the compro- mise. By agreement Charles, Frank and James Goewey, who were contest- ing the probating of their sister’s will, are to receive about $2600 and some personal property which formerly be- longed to her mother. The entire in- terest of the deceased in the Goewey Estate Company, however, is to go to the child, who is 15 months old. By a will made by Mrs. Havens on her wedding day she left all of her interest in the Goewey Estate, Com- panz to her three brothers. She and her husband were to travel in Europe, and she provided that, in case of ac- cident, the brothers should inherit the property. The will was never changed until Mrs. Havens was on her death- bed. A 'son had been born to her, and when she was told that she could not recover she made a will leaving every- thing she possessed to the child. The brothers filed their will' as against the last one, and claimed that their sister at the time she made this will was not competent to make one, and that she had been undauly influ- enced. She was so weak at the time that she was unable to sign her name and could only make.ber mark. By the compromise the trial of the contest will now he avoided. ——e———————— COLONEL PITCHER'S CASE IN THE HANDS OF TAFT Latest Advices From Washington In- dicate That Court-Martial Pro- ceedings Will Be Dropped. Local army officers expressed much gratification yesterday over the dis- patch received from Washington rel- ative to the probability of the charges now pending against Lieutenant Col- onel Pitcher being dismissed. When seen at the Presidio Colonel Pitcher said he had not been officially ad- vised from Washington and could not discuss the subject. Last evening the following dispatch ~was received, which more clearly gives the present status of the case: WASHINGTON, June 23.—Lieutenant Col- | onel Pitcher will probably not be court-mar- tialed on charges preferred against him after he broke off his engagement with Miss Caro- lina_Harold, a War Department clerk. George B. Davis, judge advocate general of the army, has submiited @ report on the case to the chief of staff, who has brought it to the at- tention of the Secretary of War, whose de- cision, which is final, is expected within a few days. During the Investigation of the charges it developed that Lieutenant Colonel Pitcher, instead of going away just before his wedding day and failing to notify his to-be bride of his movements, wrote her a_letter the day following his departure from Wash- ington.

LOUIS, Mo., June 23.—After Abe Attel got the decision over Johnny Re- gan to-night in a fifteen-round bsut Tommy Bramwell, one of Attel's sec- onds, and Johnny Regan became in- volved in a dispute which resulted in a free-for-all fight. The participants in the fight numbered about forty and included the police, seconds on both sides and Referee Sharpe. Police Lieutenant McKenna in the confusion landed a flerce right swing upon’ Sharpe, nearly flooring him. Bramwell began celebrating Attel's victory by turning several somersaults. Regan removed his gloves and went right after Bramwell, knocking him out of the ring.

Cons struction, ventilation and sanitation were thoroughly considered. There were present: Preésident Dr. J. W. Ward, Drs. W. R. Harvey, P. J. Poheim, J. V. Hughes and J. Coplin Stinson, members of the Board of Health; D. F. Ragan, Health Officer, and Louis Le Depu Health Of= ficer, Attorneys E. D. Knight and Col- onel George Pippy, who represented the Dairymen’s Association; some fifty members of that organization and Dr, Rupert Blue of the United States Hos- pital Service. The dairymen and their attorneyvs put up a strong fight to have the or- dinance greatly modified. They have partly succeeded. In regard to article 1, instead of the barn being of sufficient size to average 600 cubic feet of air space to each ecow, as required, a compromise was effected and 450 feet or its equivalent was final- 1y decided upon. In article 2 the point about the size of windows brought up a big discussion. The ordinance called for windows 4x4 in size at intervals of every six feet. Dairyman John D. Daly of San Mateo said that windows of this size would cause half of the cows in the building to jump through them, as he knew from actual experi- ence. After a long wrangle it was decided that windows should be 2%x4 and al distances of ten feet or its equivalent. WANT GOOD FLOORS. Under article 3 the floor must be so impervious as to admit of no leakage to the ground beneath, a gutter drain to carry off discharges and a sewer to connect therewith to carry the dis- charges 300 feet away from the barn. Article 4 provides that feed boxes arc to be so constructed that they can be hosed out. The question of cleansing the floors and walls of the stable, as provided in article 6, was a hard nut to crack. The board wanted the floors flushed every day after each milking by water under high pressure. Mr. Daly said this was entirely im- practicable. The place would never dry and the slippery floors would cause the cows to fall down right and left. Dr. Blue said flushing was' a good thing and he thought the floors should be flushed daily. He, however, had never run a cow barn and spoke from the standpoint of a bacterial ex- pert. Henry Brewer suggested that instead of water be introduced. It was decided that the floors shall be sprinkled and cleaned once a day in place of the slushing. The location of the milk house was a bone of contention. In the-course of the discussion Mr. Daly said he wanted to understand if the board wanted to drive all the milkmen out of business. Dr. Ward in replying said that the conditions were such that it was im- perative to have changes and that for the health and welfare ofsthe people they would have to take place. Milk should hereafter come up to a bac- teriological standard and that was all there was to it. POINTS AT ISSUE. “It is a marvel to me,” said.Mr. Daly, “that if conditions are as you say that any ome is living in Califor- nia_at_present.” Dr. Ward retorted: “There are not as many living as have a right to live, and if we had pure milk they would be living. It is in order to protect those who cannot protect themselves that we are taking these measures.” The provisions are as follows: The milkhouse, according to article T, shall be in a separate building. Article 1I—Screens must be put over all windows and doors. Article III—The milk must be taken to the miikhouse in a covered pail. “ Article IV—Vats and other receptacles used to cool milk shall be of wood or of cement. Article V says the milkhouse shall be washed out daily. Article VI—Helpers who bandle milk shall be personally clean. F. F. Piant, owner of the Piant Farm Dairy, sitnated near Vallejo, states that if the proposed ordinance was passed he would be driven out of busi- ness. The provisions of the ordinance would cause the produttion of milk te almost double in price, hence the com~ sumer in San Francisco, who Is now paying 8 1-3 cents a quart, will prob- ably be compelled to pay about 15 cents. lime Great stress was laid in the meeting on the subpject of the Hotaling Model Dairy, which was said to be nearest up to the standard of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Daly stated that he understood the Hotaling dairy was losing $10.000 a year. The committee did not adjourn until 2.30 o’clock this morning and the work it did is subject to revision. —_—e—— Deported Miner Commits Suicide. DENVER, June 23.—Emil L.
