In support of his contention covieri points out that the last charter amendment election was held on De- cember 4, 1902, and according to the constitution another election for ber 4 next. upon the earlier date was to shut out proposed amendments as the result of | now being prepared by Roncovieri de- signed to grant independent power to the Board of Education to fix its bud- get of expenditures with a tax limita- tion of 12 cents for the purpose. Ron- covieri says that if the later date, as required by the constitution, were fixed as the date for the charter amendment election the school amend- ment and others would have sufficient time for the xty days’ publication s required by mitted. BASIS OF CONTENTION. Section 8 of the constitution as amended on November 4, 1902, upon which Roncovieri bases his contention, follow: The charter, at intervals of not less than two years by proposals therefor, submitted by the leglala- tive authority of the city to the quallfied elec. tors thereof at a general or special election, least forty days after the publica- tion of such proposals for twenty days in a daily newspaper of general circulation in such city, and ratified by a majority of the elec- tors voting ther<on and approved by the Leg- islature as herein provided for the approval of the charter. Roncovieri asserts that the two years' limitation is specifically con- tained in the clause “May be amend- ed at intervals of not less than two years by proposals therefor,” which he argues refers to the submission of the amendments to the electors. On the other hand the Supervisors con- to the ratification of amendments by the Legislature, which meets every two years, and not to their submis- sion. Roncovieri says that the latter construction would be correct if there was a comma between the words “vears” and “by,” as the original text of the section read bhefore the con- stitution was amended. SUPERVISORS EXPLAIN. The Supervisors explain that the regular election on November 8 was selected to submit amendments be- cause no provision has been made to hold any special elections for the pur- pose. Roncovieri in answer to this contention refers to a succeeding sec- tion of the constitution, which leaves the Supervisors no alternative when the legal requirements relative to the submission of charter amendments are complied with. The section follows: Whenever 15 per cent of the qualified yoters of the city shall petition the legisia- tive authority thefeof to submit any proposed amendment or amendments to said charter to the qualified voters thereof for approval the legislative authority must submit the same. Roncovieri claims that the Super- visors “must” submit the amendments in the case noted and for that reason he is busy preparing his amendment by petition to render the School De- partment independent of the jurisdic- tion of the Supervisors, so far as the city’s share of the school appropria- tion is concerned. —_—— With the aid of & microscope any one can see what appears to be glit edge on the best steel, but a blind man can discover a “gilt edge”’ on the best whiskey—"Old Giit Edge.” . —_—— No Municipal Telephone System. Supervisor Braunhart takes excep- tion to the proposal of the Police and Fire Commissioners to acquire a mun- icipal telephone system. Braunhart declares the matter lies entirely with the Supervisors, who have no such in- tention in mind. He says the city has a thirty years’ agreement with the telephone company for a free tele- phone system in the City Hall, which is worth $20,000 yearly to the ecity. The company has provided a new chief operator for the stem, good service is now being given and there is no intention on the part of the Su- pervisors to make a change. e $1 50 per dozen—fine photos at Lentz's studio, 916 Market street, Columblan bulldins. ~ ® ter amendments shall be submitted at | Ron- | the | purpose cannot be held until Decem- | Roncovieri declared yesterday that | the object of the Supervisors in fixing | a petition by 15 per cent of the elec- | tors, notable among which is the one | ¢ before being sub- S0 ratified, may be amended | tend that the limitation simply applies | Inability to dwell in peace with their | landlady, Mrs. Honorah Nye, caused ! John Johnson and his wife Freda to | transfer their personal belongings from 611 Jessie street to a house managed by @ woman who seemed to be of more en- ' durable temperament. Soon after the removal, however, it occurred to Mrs. Johnson that she had forgotten some Potted plants that she had entrusted to Mrs. Nye's temporary keeping, so she and her husband and a friend of theirs, Nels Johansen, went to 611 Jessie street last Thursday evening and de- . manded the plants. Instead of com- plying with the demand Mrs. Nye lev- eled a pistol at the head of Mrs. John- son and threatened to muss up the sit- ting-room carpets with that lady's brains if she did not immediately go away. Mrs. Johnson discreetly accept- cd the life preserving alternative, but returned soon afterward with a police- man and gave Mrs. Nye into custody on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Police Judge Cabaniss heard the case yesterday morning and the stellar witness for the prosecution was Nels Johansen, because of his compar- | ative disinterestednes “Ay tank Ay save Mistress Yonson's life,” said Mr. Johansen. after »- had been duly sworn. Then he stared at the attorney for the defense, as if in- viting interrogation. “Well, go on; tell ns about it,” said the Judge, encouragingly. “Ay will try to mak a short storay long—" “No you won't,” s “This court has no time to waste in listening to unnecessary details. Your cannot be too short to suit me. go ahead and give it to us as 1 briefly as you can without omitting im- portant particulars.” Mr. Johansen explained that it was not his purpose to extend his narrative unnecessarily—that he had unfor- tunately twisted the meaning of a col- loquialism. Then he told how he saw Mrs. Nye take the pistol from a closet and aim it at the head of Mrs. John- | son, and how he wrested the weapon from Mrs. 's hand. That's all there was to it. Mrs. Nye reminded the court of a | time-honored axiom to the effect that a man’s house is his castle and while she was not a man nor her dwelling a turreted stronghold, she believed she | outed his Honor. had a perfect right to repel forcible | Invasion by the Johnsons and their | ally, Johansen. Moreover, she would like to have the court distinctly under- stand that she did not resort to the { use of firearms until she had exhausted suasive effort to induce the invaders to withdraw. Nor would she like to | have the court imagine that all the uncomplimentary language exploded | preliminary to the gun-pulling was of | | her uttering. Mrs. Johnson—who, by the way, still owes some room rental— indulged in a few unprintable words before she was ~fected at pistol point. So far as possession of the plants was concerned, Mrs. Nye wouldn't give a snap of her fincers for a cartload of | such truck. It was to preserve them from perishing of Mrs. Johnson's neg- ligence that she took and nurtured them and if she were sent to jail they would surely die for want of water. “Then we'll dismiss this case,” said the Judge. “The innocent plants must not be allowed to suffer for sins which were not of their r:)aki:lg," . Georgie McDonald, a statuesque blonde. swayed without visible propui- | sion as she informed Judge Fritz that to convict her of drunkenness would be one of the crimes of the new century. “For,” she added, with thickened ut- terance, “I haven't tashted liquor for more'n a month.” His Honor gazed pensively at Miss McDonald’'s towering coiffure and | calmly said she was drunk that very she protested. §“If 1 | moment. “Nonshense,” . wash drunk do you think I ¥could shpeak as well as I'm shpeakin'? You | don’t know me, kid—yeronner, I means | to shay, kido!” | “Take her away,” sighed the Judge, | | | and the bailiff responded just in time to receive Miss McDonald with open arms as she was toppling off the wit- ness stand. LI S Mabel Smith, eighteen years of age | and passing comely, quarreled with her | parents, who live at Berkeley, and | came to the big city to convince them | that she was old and strong enough | to get along in the world without their aid. She had no money, so to get some as quickly as possible she hied her to a Pacific street dance hall and there applied for and instantly obtained em- ployment. While whirling in the mazy she was rudely seized by a big police- man, who informed her that If she did not go home she would go to jail. So she went forth at 1 o'clock yesterday morning to find a place to lay her head and was arrested three hours later by Patrolman A. B. Thompson, who found her wandering aimlessly on Mission street. That was the story told by the girl to Judge Cabaniss and sharp question- ing failed to shake it. She was reluc- tant to return home and thus acknowl- edge dependency upon her parents, but she had friends residing on Mission street who would shelter her, she was sure, until she obtained decent employ- ment. The Judge gave her some erat- uitous advice, detailed an officer to place her in the hands of her friends and fervently expressed hope that he would never see her again. . e e “I have a wife and three children,” said Henry Murphy, charged with drunkenness, “and if I'm sent to jail they're sure ‘- suffer.” “What a cowardly fellow you are,” said Judge Fritz, “to advance such a plea as that.” i The cowardly plea might have ob- tained Mr. Murphy’s release if he had abstained from mentioning that he had not seen his family for three days and that he was drunk all that time. Then he was given ten days in jail, and the Judge regretted that the law fails to provide for the punishment of such creatures as Murphy in some way that does not compel those dependent upon them for support to share it. 855 i John Coleman, porter in a saloon at Mason and O'Farrell street, was ac- cused of battery, the complaining wit- ness being a Japanese, who, after pro- claiming himself “a glood Clistion boy,” | swore that without having recelved any provocation whatever the defend- ant violently ejected him from the bar- room and kicked and cuffed him and threw him with great force upon the sidewalk. Offsetting the complaint, however, was the testimony of several Caucasian witnesses, who saw the Jap, intoxicated and turbulent, enter the ! saloon and annoy the porter until the | latter turned and threw him out. Case | dismissed by Ju\!ge.cab.anlu. . Rose Cohen was charged with disturb- ing the peace of her mother, who de- clined to prosecute when the case was called before Judge Fritz. It was ex- plained that the true inwardness of the arrest was a desire on the mother's part to get herself relieved of the cost and responsibility of maintaining her POSSESSION OF POTTED PLANTS MAKES TROUBLE Mrs. Honorah Nye Points Pistol at Head of Mrs. | John Johnson and Threatens to Blow Out That | Lady’s Brains if She Does Not at O nce Retire daughter's three-year-old child. The little unfortunate will be placed in a public institution. » e Otto Larsen, who stole a coat and vest from Daniel Gallagher in a Clay street lodging-house, pleaded guilty of petty larceny and was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment by Judge Cabaniss. . . Harry Morgan, rated A. B. on the books of the windjammer that con- | veyed him hither from the Antipodes, ‘was on shore-going leave, and had not traveled west of East street when he committed the indiscretion that result- ed in his arrest for drunkenness and malicious mischief and his subsequent compulsory contribution of $10 to the municipality’s enrichment. Witnesses told Judge Fritz that Mar- iner Morgan was more than half-seas over when he brought up all standing in front of an oyster emporium facing the bay and did then and there pick up two large bottles filled with raw bi- valves and smash said bottles upon the concrete sidewalk with such violence that a wide area was strewn with glass splinters and slippery oysters, thereby endangering the safety of pe- destrians. The defendant said he could not in- form the court what prompted his de structive act unless it were the quality of the drink he had consumed in con- siderable quantity and in various grog- geries between the time of his landing and ‘the time of his arrest. It must have been “fierce booze,” he added, for its effects were still with him. He had sufficient shots left in his locker, how- ever, to pay any reasonable amount of damages the oyster man might claim, and he was ready also to compensate the city for his breach of its ordinances, - Frederick Link presented for Judge Fritz's inspection two beautifully writ- ten pledges to abstain from the con- sumption of intoxicating liquors for a period of one year from last Thursday. The documents bore the signatures of Mr. Link and his wife, both of whom were arrested for drunkenness and re- leased by Judge Fritz on condition that they “swear off” for a twelvemonth. Judge Fritz complimented Mr. Link on his promptness in fulfilling his prom- ise and then released him from further liability to the court. Among those who witnessed the afore described incident was Patrick Carolan, accused of drunkenness on Clementina street, and when he was set up for ex- amination he expressed a desire to em- ulate the example of the Links, and promised to appear in court next Mon- day and show his pledge. The Judge took him at his word. —_——— Card and Loose Leaf Systems. $2 buys a Card Index Drawer, 500 rec- ord cards, alphabetical index and 25 guide cards.

He owns 300 hives of bees and | $3000 worth of real estate in Sacra- mento County. They were married at Sacramento on June 16, 1902, and have a babe four months old. It is charged that the bee man sought sweets away from home and the wife names one Stella Garman as the cause of the de- parture. She says that Lane is now living with the other woman at Vor- den, Cal. Judge Hunt yesterday heard another installment in the serial divorce story of Dina Smith against Andrew. He | denied her a divorce last Monday and next day, she says, when she went back to live with her husband, he re- ceived her with vile words and a | wagon spoke. Judge Hunt said he be- lieved this part of the story, but he | was convinced that both sides had | been guilty of “rank perjury” and he | would not grant a divorce, but would take the matter under submission and | | probably change his order regarding | alimony. | | | The other side of the McCausland story came out yesterday in the an- swer of William J. McCausland to t}){l? | from February to May of | last year he did not werk because he | was too sick, having been made so by | toiling night and da+ for his family | and he had given his wife about all of | his earnings. These she spent injudi- ciously. The girl Carrie Love, who | came to visit McCausland's aunt and uncle. he had known from childhood and merely tried to make her visit pleasant. There was no cause for his wife's jealousy. When he went to the | train to see Miss Love depart it was in company with his aunt, who is 60| | years old. He does not believe that the | i letter which Mrs. McCausland opened, from Miss Love, contained the things | she said it did, but he says she threat- | ened to send a photographic copy of it to the young woman's friends. Suits for divorce were filed by Bern- |hard Vennekohl against his wife, | Cecelia, on the ground of desertion; | Susie Doherty against James Doherty, desertion; J. W. Tillotson against Mary | Bell Tillotson, desertion. Maud Ryan’s application for $10 a | month alimony pending the hearing of | her suit against Patrick Ryan, a clerk | in the Hibernia Savings Bank, for di- | vorce was denfed by Judge Hunt. It | was shown that when the couple sep- arated last April he had agreed to pay { her $85 a month and had done so until June. She represented that she could not live on that amount and had in- | curred debts of $130. The Judge said | that he would order the husband to | pay the $130, but would not require | more until the case is tried week after | next. Mrs. Ryan's charge against the ! bank clerk was cruelty and included | among other things his failure to pro- | vide a wardrobe for their expected | child. —e————— Sheriff Files Annual Report. | Sheriff Curtis filed his annual re- | port for 1903-1904 with the Mayor 3yes;erday, showing there were 2609 | prisoners received in the county jails | during the year, of which 386 are re- | maining.

Yesterday Attorney Otto Irving Wise filed a petition for the revocation the probate of the will on behalf Jcseph Guzik of Warsaw, a Symcha Guzik, said to of Kornfeld. Another brother, Guzik, is also living in Warsaw. It is set forth in the petition that Kornfeld was 80 years old at the time of his death and had suffered twelve months from mental and phys:- cal disorders, therefore it is said he was not competent to make a will and was not free from the influence of his wife and Annie Smith.
