GREENWOOD’S DEPARTURE. i Attorney Hiram Johnson moved to| the deposition of Fred A. Greenwood, read the day before, on the ground that the deponent had been in the city and available till Monday last, when he started for the East. When his deposition was taken severai weeks ago he made the statement under oath that | he was then about to leave the State, and Johnson objected to the alleged sharp work. Judge Coffey held, how- ever, that the deposition should stand, | inasmuch as deponent was now beyond the confines of California. ‘William G. Mugan, one of the ex-| ecutors named by Miss Dolbeer, was next called. He corroborated much of | the important evidence produced, and | then told of the efforts of Mrs. Eliza-| ADVERTISEMENTS.

He also tells of a titled foreigner who is here ostensibly to avoid managing mammas at home, and among his many exclusive items of interest is the story of the marriage of a matinee idol to a San Francisco girl. He also tips the winner of the Speaker- ship contest. gives a great deal of exclu- sive political news, and_tells how the | Chinatown sack is distributed. The lit- erary features this week are of the usual high standard. The story by Robert Mage seems to have been inspired by the Dolbeer will contest, and contains a sug- gestion of considerable value. That ex- vlist, Harry Cowell, discusses al vice, vulgarity. ———— Cannady Released on Writ. | An application for a writ of habeas | corpus for the release of W. A. Can- | nady was made by Attorneys McClel- |lan & McClellan before Judge Cook | yesterday and was made returnable | forthwith. Cannady was arrested on “Monday night without a warrant, but 1 a telegraphic warrant was received by the police from San Jose just before the case came up for hearing. Can- nady was charged with publishing false statements regarding the pecu- niary condition of a corporation, and | his attorneys contended that no such crime could be found in, the Penal Code and that therefore no public of- fense was charged. The Judge agreed with them and ordered the writ grant- ed and the defendant discharged. Can- | nzdy is manager and secretary of the | Fresno Diamond Company. —_———— Marsicano Case Argued. Judge Sloss yesterday received the brief of George D. Collins in defense ,of P. Marsicano in the suit by the . State for the abatement of 1129 Du- pont street. The State’s side was rep- i resented by H. W. Hutton, Max Kuhl ;and Assistant City Attorney I. Harris. . Mr. Kuhl made the reply, to Collins’ i brief, and the latter was given five {days in which to answer the State's complaint. I L e Site for New Public Library. i 1 1 | George A.

SCANDAL DRAWS TOWARD CLOSE Though the Police Commission met yesterday afternoon to proceed with the investigation of the charges of cor- ruption in Chinatown it found more of interest in the petition of Martin Cre- snlia that he be allowed to drape the in his restaurant at 15 Third street with curtains than in the police investigation. This peti- tion occasioned an animated discussion between Chief Wittman and the mem-, bers of the board. Commissioner Hutton did why the petition should pe denied in view of the fact that many of the larger cafes enjoy the privilege, but he said he was in favor of having the doorways of the booths in every res- taurant in town removed. He said they offered opportunity for women and Chief Witt- man said all he wanted to know was the pleasure of the board in reference to the curtains and he would see any order that might be issued would be carried out. The question went over to the next meeting of the board. The Chinatown scandal was then taken up, but nothing was accom- plished. Attorney Jacob S. Meyer said that he had been unable to get the District Attorney tostipulate as to the disposition of the contents of the safe taken from the place of Chin Kun You at 820 Washington street and that in consequence the search warrant pro- ceedings must be prosecuted to a con-' clusion. He said that should he re-! cover possession of the sg{es he would | open them in the presence of the police | and give them all of the documents | they contain. » ! Commissioner Drinkhouse next made plain his position toward the gamblers | of Chinatown by reciting an incident that occurred in January. He said he | was taking a party through Chinatown ' and upon entering a brightly lighted | place found that it was a gambling | resort and that fantan was running. | He forthwith reported the matter to| Sergeant Christiansen, who told him | that he (Christiansen) had tried to en- | ter the place earlier in the evening but | had been unable to do so. Drinkhouse then reported his discovery to Chief of | Police Wittman and the Chief put a | stop to the gambling. After Commissioner Drinkhouse had | concluded his story the case was con- tinued until next Tuesday night, when | eny further evidence that may be dis- covered in the meantime will be con- sidered. —_———— BERGEN ESTATE.—Henry Von Bergen | yesterday petitioned for letters of special ad- ministration upon the California estate of his father, John J. Von Bergen, commonly known | here as Van Bergen, who died last Tuesday at the age of 88, in Hanover, Germany. A widow and six children survive in Germany.

Wells, for half a century a citizen of San Francisco, prominent in public life and successful in private en- deavor, died yesterday morning at his home, 1406 Jackson street. Burdened by vears, he failed in health a twelve- month ago and, though the immediate cause of death is given by his physician as heart failure, it was time's inroads that had taken from his once strong physique the power to resist disease. He was 75 years of age when the sum- mons came. He leaves a widow and three sons and two daughters, all of whom live in this city. The late Mr. Wells came to San Fran- cisco in the early fifties from Saratoga, N. Y. He engaged largel in ship- ping, but gave some of his time to the lumber business. Though he met with some financial reverses. it is said that he amassed a fortune, which he invest- ed in San Francisco realty. A few years ago he retired from business life, though every campaign found him ac- tive on behalf of his party—the Repub- lican. He was elected Auditor of the city, which office he filled with credit, and in 1901 he was nominated for Mayor, but met defeat after an energetic cam- paign, conditions at the time being un- favorable to his candidacy. In that campaign he led his Democratic com- petitor by a large majority. Mr. Wells was treasurer of California Commandery No. 1, Knights Templar. TISEMENTS.

Phillips, who was one of the most prominent business men of the interior of the State.
