HUTTON LOSES VITAL POINT Judge Cook Holds That Cap- tain Duke Cannot Be Look- ed Upon as an Accomplice DEFENSE DESIRES TIME oty SN Case Peremptorily Set for Next Monday, When a Con- clusion Must Be Reached —— Police Commissioner H. W. Hutton, “special chief of police for 1129 Du- pont street,” lost an important point yest--iay in the contempt proceed- ings against him for violating the in- junction restraining the police from | interfering with the restaurant busi- | ness of Jean Pon, 1129 Dupont street. At the last calling of the case Hut- ton’s attorneys made the point that as the only evidence against him was that of Captain Duke, an accomplice, Hutton could not be convicted on Duke's uncorroborated testimony. Each side was given time to file briefs on the point and a continuance was granted till yesterday. The Judge overruled the point, holding that even though Duke had been an accomplice the point could not be sustained in contempt proceed- ings, because Hutton was not on trial through an indictment or informa- tion. Attorney Johnson said he was not | ready to proceed with the defense owing to the absence of his associate, Attorney - Riordan, through sickness. He asked for a continuance, which was opposed by Attorney George D. Collir ressive fight against Hutton and his persistent defense of his clients. The Judge said the case would be peremptorily set for hearing next | Monday, and if Attorney Riordan could not be present at that time Johnson had better get some other at- ist him, if assistance ary. As the Judge has intimated that the prosecution has made out a prima facie case it begins to look as if Hut- ton’s conviction is a foregone conclu- sion, now that he has lost his most important point. —_—ee————— STRANGER FOUND DEAD IN HANCOCK HOUSE | as Valve Is Open and the Keyhole Plugged With Cotton When Body Is Found. A victim of gas was found yesterday morning in the Hancock House at 781 M street. The body was that of stranger, who engaged a room last nday night and who did not sign the register. Frederick Cheney, the por- ter, tried to open the door with a pa key and found that the keyhole was stuffed with cotton. He broke a win- dow and g4 d admittance.

Millard was with the Russian forces for five months. He was attached to the division of General Keller, who was killed some weeks ago, and much of the time was stationed at Liaoyang. He saw some of the fighting, but, the lines were so extended that if he 'had not known what was going on he saw with serious warfare. General Keller, says Millard, was one = of the few officers upon whom Kuro- = patkin could rely. For Kurepatkin the ? correspondent has great admiration. He Said: Kuropatkin has besn laboring under great difficulties ever since he went out there in March. When he first went out to Manchuria he advised that Port | isoned and left to mnke its own defense, and that Manchuria be abandoned as far north as Mukden. The Russian forces were badly scat- tered at that time. Kuropatkin's advice was disregarded and he_was ordered to contest the territory.” He succeeded in concentrating his army, byt has been greatly handicapped be- cause of the superior numbers of the Japanese. Viceroy Alexieff is to blame for the condition of “affairs in Manchurfa. He ‘and Kuropatkin are not working. in harmony and before I left Manchuria they had reached the point where they declined to eschange communications. | Millard #5. a veteran as a war cor- respondent, having served through the Turko-Grecian, Spanish-American land Boer wars, the insurrection in the Philippines and the Boxer troubles in ‘China. 1.

PAY WAR TAX GLADLY. Speaking of the attitude of the Jap- anese people toward the war, Consul Bellows declares that he never saw anything like the fervor with which the populace paid the war tax. They only seem sorry; he says, that the Goy. ernment does not want more, and where the payment of the tax involves the greatest self-sacrifice there the re- gret is most pronounced.

The play is one of the three to bei used on the coming Western tour of White Whittlesey, and the cast of last| |night is almost identical with that| | which will appear on the road. Cer-| tainly in this instance the road, long- | suffering, has something to look for- | ward to. Captain Marshall's clever| | play, fortunately introduced here by ! | John Drew, improves on acquaintance. | | Particularly happy is the dialogue, one | | notes. And the story, as military ro- | { | | mance goes, is effective and interesting | throughout. | To begin with the production, it} { should be said that the stage tailor has | done his most here. The uniforms alone are worth the price. Such a gorgeousness of gold braid! Such but-| tons! Such a muchness of smartly tail- | ored male! These, with the trim quar-| ters of the swell military person, the bugles, the gay incident of army pust: life, furnish an atmosphere both pic-| | turesque and thrilling, and every credit | is due the management here. 5 To me, who' had not been Alcazar-| ward this week or so, the appearance of | Miss Eugenie Thais Lawton in the cast | proved most interesting. I have often | | wept with Miss Lawton up at the Cen- | | tral. Why, what that girl has gone | through! And I have triumphed with her ‘over the villain with the same persistent regularity. Last night I saw | her for the first time for a matter of two years, in a play worthy of her, and was not disappointed. Miss Lawton has | the charm of a fine sincerity, a genuine | feeling for pathos, a truly sympathetic | quality in her work. Four matinees and seven evening performances last | week, too, did not prevent this young | woman from giving her lines with en-| gaging certainty, which is more than could be said of some others in the| | cast—even of Mr. Whittlesey. Alto- | gether Miss Lawton's Muriel Manner- | | ing is a most pleasing figure, and not | least as a picture. I was glad to see| | 2gain Miss Virginia Brissac as the in- | gcnue. She is both clever and pretty. | Mr. Whittlesey was winning and ood-natured as Major Bingham, as ‘aptain Marshall intended the major | to be, but the stern fiber of the soldier | is not in him. In the sentimental lapse | of poor “Kit,” howeter, Mr. Whittle- | sey is-all there, and wears his clothes | admirably. Mr. Conness is the major's successful rival, Colonel Anstruther— one rather wonders at his success; | Harry Hilliard does an unusually good | bit of work as Walter Mannering, and | Earle Williams contributes another as | Lieutenant Peter Barker. A large| house applauded vigorously. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Central. The Central Theater has put on a strong attraction in Charles G. Blay- | ney’s new comedy drama, “Only a Shop Girl,” which was last night produced | for the first time in San Francisco was a success. The play is lav mounted, a snow scene with a sleigh- | ing party and a snowball fight being one feature, while another ene was | that of a big department store, with a stock of merchandise and a corps of clerks. Automobiles play a part in the | street scenes, and clever specialties are | introduced by Curtin and Blossom, | vaudeville sketch artists. A vocal solo | is. pleasingly rendered by Verne Castro. | Ethel Clifton has the role of the sales- lady, who is all alone in the world un- til she discovers a heroic defender in a scion of wealth, impersonated by Her- schel Mayall. Verne Castro and Danny | Halifax create a lot of fun in character comedy, and Ernest Howell and Wini- fred Gordon are effective in juvenile roles.# James Corrigan plays the part of a rascally lawyer, Henry Shumer| that of a double-dyed villain and Edna | Ellsmere is in the cast as an adven- | turess. A sensational scene which ends the third act and which brought sev-| eral curtain calls was the thrilling res- cue of the unconscious shop girl from a death to which the villain had con- signed her in the shaft of a descending elevator. | Chutes. | | The two Shetlands, limber limbed | | ana agile dancing girls, made their | | first appearance at the Chutes yester- day, scering hits at both perform- | ances. The three Dentons, triple hor-| izontal aerial bar performe gave a | thrilling exhibition, and Ralph Post | and Essie Clinton, the comedy couple, offered fifteen minutes of fun. The]| musical Goolmans continued their high class novelty instrumental ac * e i ~$ | going to St. Louis to attend the con- jgress of science and art and will be |at the head of the Japanese delega- | tion to that convention. At the re- | quest of the United States Minister in lepan Mitsukuri was extended the | courtesy of the port. Professor Mitsukuri graduated at! Yale in the class of '79. At Yale he | received his Ph.B. and later at Johns| | Hopkins earned a Ph.D. He spent nearly nine years altogether in this country and in Japan is looked upon | as the authority nar. excellence on| things American. He was one of the commissioners from Japan to the in- ternational fur seal conference held in this country . ; Commander T. H. Holmes of the navy returned on the Korea. He went/ ont in command of the Mohican and! for awhile was commandant at the Cavite navy vard. Captain Edward T. Hjousbery, for many years senior pilot at Shanghai, was a passenger on the liner. He has retired from service and is on his way to his home in New York. where he | expects to.coil up in comfort for the remainder of his davs. When the Ko- rea passed out of the Yangtse River the pilot-boat on the bar set signals of good cheer in honor of the depart- ing commodore. Other prominent people on the Ko- rea were Jackson A. Due. secretary to Commissioner Ide; Charles C. McLain, urovisional treasurer of the Philip- pines; Maurice F. Lowenstein of the firm of Castle Bros., and a large num- ber of merchants and globe trotters. ———e———— A New Art Gallery.
