Frank Morton was seen to enter a vacant house on Minna street night be- fore last, and when Patrolman McEn- tee investigated he found Frank sew-- ing a button on his pantaloons in pitch darkness. “How could he see to sew without a | light?" Judge Mogan asked the officer, who passed the query up to the de- fendant. “It's easy when you know how," Frank explained, demonstrating with | finger and thumb how the button £hould be held so’that the needle could | be guided by sense of touch into any desired hole. He further stated that as he had no home, and could not conven- fentty do his tailoring on the street, it was necessity that drove him into the vacant house, as the button which he was sewing on when arrested bore the { entire responsibility of holding up his nether garment. He was sentenced to twenty-four hours in prison to do whatever further repairing his clothes might require—and they appeared to need much of it. . Mrs. Rose McArdle, who sells gro- | ceries and liquors at 540 Sixth street, told Judge Conlan of how C. J. Howell, a wild-eyed individual, had endeavored to.extort $10 from her by representing himself to be an excise officer and al- leging that her license had expired. He carried his false pretense so far as to place her ynder arrest, escort her to the Central police station and attempt to book her, but ran away when the desk sergeant asked him to prove offi- cial authority. The case was contin- ued. | » | Ham Lung owed three months’ rental of the room occupied by him in China- | town, and when he went there Thurs- | day evening he saw tacked to the door a notice which informed him that he must either vacate the apartment or pay the landlord, Tong Bong. Angered by the bumiliation thus brought upon him—for the notice had doubtless been read by every occupant of the human hive that passed the door—Lung went to save his face. £ “To me, oh, Tong Bong,” he said, “¥eu have brought much disgrace. I am dishonored in the view of my coun- tdr men, and ere the sun sinks you shall Tong Bong had already regretted the publicity which he had given to Ham Lung’s indebtedness through the pla- card, for cousins of the creditor had visited him and heaped reproach, pro- nouncing his conduct uncelestially pre- cipitate and indirectly impugning the Integrity of the entire Lung family. “I acted too hastily, oh, Tuck Ling,” . v roW much over what my act has done. But to preserve my life I must convey €ven more unpleasantness to the un- happy Ham Luhg and his highly re- spected relatives by having him placed | where he cannot fulfill his threat. After dcing that I shall confess my great error to the joss of our tong and pay due pznance.” It may have been the joss or it may have been the defendant’s cousins that restrained To_ng Bong from appearing in Judge Mogan’s court to uphold the complaint of threatening to kill upon which he had Ham Lung arrested. As there was mo prosecution there could be no conviction and Ham Lung was discharged, with a hint from the bench {that in the long run he would find jt 9utY in the Bureau of Identification of Crimi- cheaper and more honorable to pay Lis rent than to slay Tong Bong. | . . The case of Anna Speakman, charged with attempting to kill Mrs. Clara Le- fevre by slashing her with a carving knife, has been transterfied from Judge Mogan to Judge Conlan'and is set for hearing before the latter magistrate on July 15. Mrs. Lefevre is still confined in a sanitarium on account of her wounds. Her physician says she can- not safely §tlend court before the mid- dle of this month. As his Honor Conlan has just returned from his midsummer vacation and as his Honor Mogan will start within two weeks for a month's stay in the mountains, the cause of the transfer of Mrs. Speakman's case is not difficult to surmise. | T C. H. Moosely, whose unlicensed liquor dealing establishment at Green- wich and Lyon streets has been al- luded to by witnesses as a ‘“speak- easy,” a “blind pig” and a “hole in the wall,” was fined $100 by Judge Mogan. Mr. Moosely demanded a jury trial and the jury found him guilty as charged. g Mamie Willlams wore a khaki bifur- GLEESON GETS NEW DISTRICT i | PO RS S S i POPULAR OFFICER WHO WILL ] | | " HAVE CHARGE OF THE NEWLY I CREATED POLICE DISTRICT. =t | Golden Gate Park Station Will Be His Head- quarters Now.

The amount of money received for licenses during June was $30,785 50. This shows an increase of $2284 50 over the corresponding month of last year. There is on deposit with the license office the sum of $2237. This amount has been paid in by different theaters and as permits have not as yet been granted by the Board of Pub- lic Works no licenses could be issued. The receipts for the fiscal year from July, 1903, to July, 1904, were $477,- 722 25, as against $475,961 50 for the preceding fiscal year. The ihcrease is mostly in lodging and apartment- house licenses. phteetia SRS SR Excursion to Monterey and Canta Cruz.

Just who did the tampering has | not developed as yet, nor has the time of the act been settled. In addition to| other methods of doing business the firm had a system of “loose leaf” rec- ords for ninety options for lots in ware- houses are among the missing. They are important documents, according to the bearing they have on the case at bar, and there is to be considerable probing to find out just how nearly criminal the loose system was. W. W.| Topping, the former bookkeeper of the! firm, says the book was locked and the | records safe, but in some mysterious | or loose manner the documents escaped from between the covers, although he had the key. This occurred just before | or after the failure. Topping could not remember many things. He did remem- ber that the loose system should show ninety more options than it did, but he could not say what became of them. At the opening of the morning ses- sion Topping returned to the stand and identified a book offered in evidence showing the receipts of grain during the year 1902-3. “Can the leaves be readily removed from this book?” asxed Attorney | Campbell. “Yes.” “The book contains a record of but fifty-eight option lots: yesterday you said there were 148, why does not the memoranda of the other ninety lots ap- pear in that book?” “The only explanation I can offer is that they were not hypothecated.” “Is it not a fact that there were other entries in this book, up to June 1, 19032" “I don’t remember.” ENTRIES ARE MISSING. “Will you say that it did not con- tain a list of ail the lots in the Pacific Coast Warehouse with the names of the people to whom the grain was de- | livered or hypothecated?” “1 den’t remember.” “Can you tell that ninety entries are | missing 7" “That is a fact.” Attorney Campbell then closed the ! book and asked the witness if it were i locked, to which Topping replied in the | affirmative. The key to the book, he said, was usually kept in his drawer. He did not know just who might have access to it during his absence, as the | drawer was never locked, but no one | sion to use the drawer. NEVADAN DIES AT ST. LOUIS JOSEPH R. RYAN. A PROMINENT { WHO NEVADA MINING MAN, DIED AT ST. LOUIS. —_— & Mine Superintendent J.R. Ryan Succumbs to Pneumonia. ST. LOUIS, July 1.—Joseph Ryan, the Democratic National Convention, died to-day at the Jefferson Hotel of i pneumonia. Ryan and his wife came to St. Louis direct from their home at Virginia City, Nev., Monday. It was their in- tention to spend several days viewing the fair before the opening of the con- yention. Ryan, however, contracted a cold en route and when he reached St. Louis was quite ill. He never left his rooms at the hotel. His physicians | pronounced his case pneumonia, but a a serious result was not anticipated. During the night, however, Ryan grew much worse and it became evi- dent that he could not recover. Mrs. Ryan remained by his bedside all night. With her was Mrs. William E. | Sharon, wife of a member of the Ne- | | vada delegation. Joseph R. Ryan was for a number of years superintendent of the Con. | Virginia and California, Hale & Nor- cross and Ophir mines of Virginia City, Nev.,, and was recently elected superintendent also of the Mexican and the Andes. In addition to these re- sponsibilities he was manager of the great pumping plant on the Comstock. Ryan was born in Roxbury, Mass., August 23, 1848. He came with his Most of the afternoon session was oc- cupied in an argument as to the ad- | missibility of the cargo invoice book, | which shows the amount of grain ship- | ped away durinz the year. The de- | fense claimed that a question had been | raised as to the right of the court to | retain possession of any of the books | and until it was decided nothing should | | be read from them. The objection was overruled, however. The bock was ad- mitted in evidence and Topping pro- | ceeded to read such entries as he had | made in it. These showed shipments | of about 50,000 tons of grain to differ- | ent ports during the last year the firm | was in business. Entries made by | others have not yet been read. During the day there was an inter- | esting controversy regarding the cus- tody of the books. In the argument At- torney Campbell said that, although the books were physically in the posses- sion of the court, they were construct- ively in the possession of the trustee in bankruptcy, as they were open to the inspection of any one who cared to see | day and that it is represented by a | Democratic instead of two Repub- WOULD KEEP BOOKS. | Attorney Friedenrich, representing | Trustee Wadsworth, said that the | books had been procured from a clerk employed by Wadsworth without his consent when they were in actual pos. session of the Federal court and could not lawfully be removed without its | consent. The trustee, he said, never | consented to allow the books to leave ' his possession and never would con- sent. Judge Lawlcr reserved his de- cision and the matter will be further | argued Tuesday afternoon. In the | meantime the contents of the books Another phase of the case came up in the Federal court when Attor- ney Henry Ach appeared yesterday morning before United States Dis- trict Judge de Haven and pre- sented a petition signed by Ja- cob Eppinger. The petition asked that Attorney J. C. Campbell and Po- lice Detective Thomas B. Gibson be adjudged guilty of contempt of court and punished for having, without per- mission of the court or of Henry Wads- worth, the trustee of the bankrupt Ep- pinger estate, taken away one storage book, one pass book, one letter book and certain canceled checks and other papers. The petition accuses Campbell and Gibson of having “conspired and colluded together” for the purpose of taking the books and papers. Judge de Haven denied the motion. He said that the trustee was the proper person to make such a motion, the doc- uments being in his custody. Mr. Ach | 1850, mother to California in 1852 to join his father, the Hon. James Talbot Ryan, who preceded them hither in He was educated at Santa Clara College, where he distinguished him- self by his histrionic ability. . For about thirty-five years he had been identified with mining interests in Vir- ginia City; at one time he was assayer for the bonanza mines and was Presi- dent Cleveland's first appointee on this coast as coiner of the Carson Mint. Ryan left Virginia City with his wife on June 22 to attend the Democratic National Convention, to which he was a delegate, being also the national committeeman from Nevada. He was chairman of the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee for many ygars, and when urged by the press of Nevada to be a candidate for the United States | licans, as has been the case ever since | it was admitted into the Union a third | of & century ago.” When a mere lad he saved two other boys from drowning in Humboldt Bay, one of whom was George A. Knight. It was a coincidence that both Knight and Ryan were national committeemen of the great parties this year. Ryan leaves a wife, a daughter, Mrs. Alfred Collier, and two sisters, Mrs. Oliver P. Evans and Mrs. Charles A. ‘Werden. His widow left St. Louis to- night, bringing his remains to San Francisco, where the funeral will take place. Gk A e oy Carrie Scott McKeen Dies. Mrs. Carrie Scott McKeen, widow of | imany years prominently connected with the Southern Pacific Company, passed away peacefully at her home in Oakland on Thursday. She leaves two sons, Arthur H. and Herman S., and one daughter, Ella B. McKeen.
