Mrs. Emily F. Dunn, one of the dis- inhérited children by Yoell's second wife, gave a long account of her father's peculiar actions. She declared that one night when she and her sister Gertrude were at the Grand Opera-house with their father he suddenly burst into gong. Despite their protes Yoell chanted “Rock of Ages” in a high key, disturbing the entire audience. Mrs. Dunn related an incident that occurred in the Yoell home at San Jose, which was intended to show th: the old iman's mind was clouded with wild sus- ‘picions against the world in general. Mrs, Dunn was talking to Mrs. James de la Montanya when old Yoell came inté the room. Though up to that time the pioneer had always greeted Mrs. Montanya cordially and addressed her by her first name, he refused to talk to then. “Afterward,” Mrs. Dunn de- clared, “he accused me of plotting with the guest F.

But Pat Must Serve Fifteen Days for Bombard- ing Workshop of His Brother John. BY JAMES C. It was not the first appearance of the Keenan brothers, Pat and John, before Police Judge Cabaniss, and, as on each of the preceding occasions, Pat was ac- cused of having disturbed the peace of John, who makes and mends shoes at 303 Kentucky street. The court record showed that for his first offense, black- ening John's eyes, Pat was sentenced to ten days' imprisonment, that he wept himself clear of charge No. 2! smiting John’s head with a stovelid, and that he obtained dismissal of ac- cusation No. 3, wrecking John's work- shop, by solemnly swearing to abstain from indulgence in intoxicating liquors for a period of six months. He had stuck to his pledge just two weeks B 2 < 3= ) | when he relapged and again was ar- rested for bombarding John's place of business. Tears of contrition dripped from Pat’s | nose as he begged for leniency. “If you send me to jail,” he blubbered, “T'll lose a job that has been promised me." | “I'm tired of your weeping and your| promises, Pat,” said his Honor, “and | am thinking of putting you away and | assuring peace for your brother until sixty days have come and gone.” Pat fairly bellowed his grief, and John’s eyes, too, seemed to be pained by the court's declaration of intention. It was apparently in deference to the latter’s state of feeling that the Judge reduced the penalty to thirty days, whereupon Pat emitted another wail and John whispered across the bench, “Judge, I wish you'd cut it down.” “Well, I'll make it fifteen days, and that's final,” was the response. Then to the bailiff his Honor shouted: “Take these lachrymose kinsmen away from here, else their combined pleading is likely to result in this court handing to Pat $15 in cash instead of sentencing him to fifteen days in jail.” Pat's departing cry was heavily laden | with anguish. John's tears were silent- | 1y shed. o iel e As the violin virtuoso scrapes his soul into the strings and brings it out in convincing strains, so did Miss Dollle Wallace's attorney thunder his con- victions into the ears of the jury in Judge Mogan’s court and compel a verdfet of acquittal in the time con- sumed by polling the twelve good and true members. Miss Wallace was one of many wom- en charged with being inmates of a dis- orderly house on Jackson street, and as the outcome of her trial was regarded as the establishing of a precedent for disposal of the others the attorney put | the best he had intq his closing argu- ment. If there was one man without sin on that panel, he said, would he be so kind as to throw the first stone at that defendant. Would the gentlemen please remember that In the matter of morals women are pretty much what men make them? Was it necessary for him to suggest that his client may have been more sinned against-than einning? Let not the occupants of that jury box cease to remember that they had moth- ers—maybe sisters, wives, sweethearts. But enough of sentiment. There was a practical side to the case that should not be overlooked. San Francisco is no village, but a metropolitan seaport, with a material future so bright that the mere thought of it was dazsling. ‘Was that future to be blighted by a narrow communal spirit of Puritanism? ‘Was the growth to still greater great- ness of this queen city of the Pacific to be hampered by the importation of blue laws? Are the sailors, the soldiers, the men from the valleys, the forests and the mountains to confronted on every hand by legalized restrictions when they come to San Francisco in quest of recreation and incidentally to spend their money? » No—a hundred times no! One glance at the intelli- gence therein impaneled sufficed to satisfy any observer of ordinary acu- men that its verdict would be not guilty. s e e In defense of his copious expectora- tion upon a sidewalk at Powell and Ellis streets Claude Plum pleaded igriorance of the existence of a pro- hibitory ordinance.

Harold Frederick Deguliar Jackson, 2 seller of books, complained that the interminable wrangling indulged in by | H. T. Lally and wife in the upper flat | |of 2658 Market street disturbed the peace of the lower flat, in which Mrs. Jackson was prostrated by illness and | therefore unable to escape the over- head racket. Judge Cabaniss contin- ued the case one month, by which | time, it i3 predicted, the Lallys will either have changed their place of residence or decided to bridle their tongues. If he had been an untamed mouse |at large Charles Roberts could not have more thoroughly terrified the feminine attachas of the candy store on Market street, near Sixteenth, into which he pursued a man he desired to whip. The hunted one found conceal- ment and in quest of him Charles dis- played a mien so menacing as to scare the saleswomen and provoke the pro- prietor of the place to attempt his ex- pulsion. It was Patrolman Foley who finally reduced Charles to docility, | however, after a struggle in which the officer did not get the worst of the ex- changes. Judge Mogan will hear more about it to-morrow. | . . . { With battered face and head swathed in bandages, Richard Dor- sey, a strapping fellow, denied that he was the man who alarmed certain nurses at the California Women's Hospltal, 1318 Sacramento street, by prowling on the porches of that insti- tution and trying to effect an entrance to the dormitgries. Miss Isabella Rob- ertson, however. said she was pretty certaln that he it was who at 4 o’clock vesterday morning attempted to force a way Into her room through the win- dow, and several other nurses opined | that the right man was captured. | Judge Fritz will hear all the detalls to-morrow. Dorsey’s cranial injuries were ad- 4 | | ministered with clubs swung by Pa- | trolmen McIntyre, Doyle and Kenny, who responded to the call telephoned to the O'Farrell-street station by the affrighted Miss Robertson. He had leaped from the hospital balcony and | run nearly a block when the officers| caught him and then he resisted them so flercely that their club play was | necessary to effect his subjugation. He | sald he was a sailor, but could not re- member the name of his ship. The police believe he has a bad record and are trying to ascertain it. The man who terrorized the nurses had been playing “Peeping Tom” sev- eral nights prior to Dorsey’s capture. His visits were invariably made after | midnight, and several times he was seen on the balconies endeavoring to peep into the nurses’ sleeping rooms, but In the darkness his features could not be distinguished. It was about 3 o’clock yesterday morning when Miss Robertson was first awakened by the noise at her window and her screams | attracted to the apartment the other' ; nurses. They searched the balconies, | but no trace of the intruder was | found. An hour later he repeated his | attempt and the police summons was sent * s Rudolph Schwarts alleges that he was given knockout drops and robbed by Charles Brown in the latter's apartments at 321 Sansome street, the total value of his loss being $35. Schwartz and Brown are members of a secret society, and Schwartz believed that Brown was animated by a frater- nal spirit when he suggested the visit to the room to indulge in “a little drink.” Judge Mogan has the case well in hand and may dispose of it to-morrow. ‘William C.

Great News for Orchard Men Is Fact That Imported Parasite Is Doing Well HAS A DEADLY RAPIER| —_— In Arena of Glass It Is Seen to Stab Larva to| Death and Deposit Eggs Farmers and fruit growers will be in- terested in the Information that the beneficial parasite imported into Cali fornia for the extermination of the cod in this city. Daily Messrs. Ehrhorn and | Carnes of the State Horticultural Com- | missioner’s staff receive proof of this highly significant statement. If the parasite does as well in the open in or- | chards when placed to perform the work | required as it is doing In the ferry' building millions of dollars will be add- | ! ed to the value of the apple crops of | California in a very few years, 1 Some days ago the parasites began to | hatch quite numerously. In large glass | jars flles of a peculiarly glossy luster appeared, one after another, and soon began to viclously attack sliced apples that had been previously placed in the ' The apple was eaten, so say the entomologists, solely because of the drink its juice afforded. After a good drink or two apiece of applejack the flies started in upon their real work— the killing of worms that would turn into codlin moths, and the depositing of eggs in the bodies of the worms, which would serve as food for the future young of the parasite. ] The transparent glass jars afforded Messrs. Ehrhorn and Carnes rare op- portunities to watch the entire process. They are devoted students of the nat- ural phenomena supplied for the in- struction. The parasite fly has long, wiry legs of strength that would be un- suspected on a casual examination. It also has a sword—that is, the female fly has—and this thin, rapler-like point, incredible as the fact may appear, is sufficlently strong and is wielded with enough vigor to perforate repeatedly | thick layers of apple tree bark and to stab to death with repeated and rapid wounds the worm that is directly un- derneath the bark. This sword-like appendage is charged with the eggs of the fly parasite. When it wounds the worm to death it leaves the eggs In the wounds to hatch. To make all the experimental conditions perfect the Horticultural Commissioner had codlin moth worms brought to this city in considerable quantities. He also provided for the worms quantities of apples, by the box, which the worms promptly attacked, the apple being their particular food. The worms paved the way for future codlin moths, and so | the enemy of the apple and the enemy of the codlin moth were produced in the same room, under constant inspec- | tion, and an insect tragedy was pre meditatedly prepared for the pleasure | of any one who wished to watch the | minute gladiators in their arena of | glass. I Baughs from apple trees are also| placed under glass. The bark on these boughs has been so-perforated that: the codlin moth worm crawls easily under | it. Then comes the fly parasite from Europe and by marvelous instinct lo- | cates the invisible worm from Watson- | ville or other California point with un-| erring certainty. Then follows the pro- | cess of stabbing the worm to death, as already described. The fly patasite has been seen to stab several worms to! death, and In each the eggs of the fu- ture flies, to stab to death other worms | and so cut off the supply of codlin moths, have been deposited. In fact,| the insect tragedies seem to proceed in | an endless chain, | George Compere, who discovered the | deadly enemy of the codlin moth in Eu- rope after twice circling the globe in search of it, will be here soon. As soon | as the weather is favorable the first: distribution of the codlin moth para- sites will be made. Compere will accom- pany the Hortleultural Commissioner's representatives to some orchard which is determined to have about the sape conditions as the European orchard ' where the parasites were discovered. | ‘When the favorable surroundings are thus provided nature is supposed to do the remainder of the work, and not only California, but all of horticultural | America, will look on with interest based on financial as well as scientific considerations. The success of the ex- | periment will mean that the apple crop ! of the United States will be doubled | from the same acreage In a few years as soon as the parasite has had a chance to become domesticated all over the land. i ———————— BRENNAN NEED NOT TELL ‘WHAT HE DID WITH MONEY Judge Sloss Sustains Important Ob- | jection to Question Asked by | Father Grey’s Attorney. The question, “What did you do with that money?” which Attorney M. C.| Hassett propounded more than a week | ago to Dr. James F. Brennan for the purpose of tracing the funds the doc- tor is charged with having taken from Father P. J. Grey, need not be an- swered, at least at this stage of the trial. When the question was asked, Brennan's attorney, Willlam M. Can- non, objected and several sessions of court have been devoted to arguments on both sides. Yesterday Judge Sloss sustained the objection, as he did ob- | jections to other questions of the same purport relating to Brennan’'s deposit and withdrawal of $5000 from bank. Hassett declared to the court that he desired to proye that Bfennan drew $5000 in March, 1903, when he sup- pesed Father Grey was about to die, and redeposited it in April, when the aged priest had recovered. The hear- ing will be resumed this morning. — e ‘Wyman Argument Postponed.

Clunie estate at yesterday's hear- ing of Andrew J. Clunie’s objections to 1 lin moth is thriving in the ferry building | the accounts of Executors E. A. Bridg- ford and Burrell G. White. Clunie declared that the affairs of the estate were in shape to permit the filing of a final account by the execu- tors at once. Judge Bridgford admit- ted the truth of the statement, but de- clared that he would not make the ac- count until it was guaranteed that Clu- nie would not contest the Jack Clunie trust, “If he will elect now not to con- test the trust we will file a final account within a week,” sald Bridgford. This made Clunie angry. He demand- ed that the court order the executors to file the final account forthwith, and said that there was a difference be- tween an account and a petition for distribution. “They have no right to say that I must waive my rights as a legatee.” Bridgford retorted: “I propose to make Mr. Clunie elect what he will do as to contesting this trust. We propose to file a petition for partial distribution to Jack Clunie and force him to show his hand.” Judge Coffey declined to make the or- der requested by Mr. Clunie at this time. Clunie questioned Bridgford as to the law books in the latter’s office, which he claimed belonged to the Clunie es- tate and had not been returned in the inventory. Judge Grant asked him why he had not claimed the ownership be- fore the inventory was made. Clunie re- plied, “I did not want to accuse Bridg- ford of stealing the books. I was sensi- tive about hurting his feelings.” “You have outgrown that sensitive- ness,” remarked Judge Coffey, and Mr. Clunie admitted that he had. ‘While Clunie was examining Judge | Grant as to his fee of $8000, the latter said that if it were not allowed by the court as a charge against the execu- tors he would probably charge it against the trustees of the estate. “So you mean to get it anyway,” shouted Clunie, “regardless of the de- cision of the court.” The hearing probably will be conclud- ed this afternoon. —_————— VISIT OF BURGLARS TO BARBER SHOP DISCOVERED Police Make Investigation and Come to Conclusion That Intention Was to Rob Neighboring Saloon. When the barber shop of Willlam Baron at O'Farre]l street and Grant avenue was opéndd for business yes- terday morning there was evidence of the fact that it had been visited by burglars during the night. A hole had been bored in the front door to enable the lock to be worked. The police were notified and Detectives Dinan and Wren were detalled on the case. As nothing had been taken from the barber shop the officers made a thor- ough Investigation of the premises and came to the conclusion that the hole in the door had been made from the inside. The shop is under Caley & Roeder’s saloon and it is the the- ory/of the officers that the burglars had been in the saloon and had gone to the basement, opening the door leading from the shop to the saloon with a skeleton key. Their intention had been to hide in the shop till the saloon closed at 3 o'clock in the morning and then rob it. A Chinese who sleeps in the saloon commences work as soon as it is closed and his reappearance disconcerted the burg- lars and they made thelr escape through the front door of the barber shop. —————— When a man offers you a cigar, anad you know he is doing it purely as a matter of courtesy, should you take it or refuse it% COLLIER STARS IN DAVIS’ FARCE. THEATRICAL STAR WHO WILL MAKR HIS FIRST APPEARANCE HERE IN “THE DICTATOR." The first appearance here of William Collier since he became a star under the direction of Charles Frohman is announced for two weeks, commencing January 30, at the Columbia Theater. He will present the farce “The Dicta- tor,” written by Richard Harding Da- vis, the author of many successful plays and books. Most excellent re- ports of the success that Mr. Collier has met with in this play have reached this city; it is sald to suit him better than any in which he has appeared. . It has been described as being excruciat- ingly funny and to create incessant laughter. The subject deals with the peculiar methods used in the Central American republics. It is a satire on the upris- ings and revolutions, which are almost a dally occurrence, and the trials and tribulations of the American Consul.

Yesterday during the progress of the trial in Judge Murasky’s court of the suit be- tween the banks to determine the own- ership of the grain Attorney Powers, representing the Nevada Bank, sug- gested that the seventeen lawyers pret ent take a few minutes to discuss compromise. They retired to the jury- room adjoining the court, and after the scaling down of various demands prac- tically agreed upon a scheme of distri- butfon which will be at once submitted to their clients. In the meantime the trial was continued until next Tuesday, when the settlement, if made, will be re- ported to the court. The attorneys declined to state the respective amounts to be given the claimants, but said that there would be three classes of creditors—those who hold warehouse receipts for lots of grain that have been identified, those who hold warehouse receipts but have no grain to show for them, and, third, the Eppinger trustee in_ bankruptey, who will distribute his share for the benefit of all the Eppinger creditors. It was learned that the largest allo’ ance to a bank claiming specific lots | of grain was $12,000 to the American National. The Bank of Monterey was given $4400, Wells-Fargo $4000 and the Bank of Yolo $3000. The other figures were not divulged. At the opening of yesterday’s session James Demings, the superintendent of the warehouse at Crockett, was again subjected to cross-examination by At- torney Friedenrich, who was attempt- ing to lay a foundation for the impeach. ment of the witness. ——————— Cited for Contempt. R. A. Crothers and Fremont Older, proprietor and managing editor, re- spectively, of the Bulletin, were cited for contemnt of court by Judge Cook yesterday for publishing reflections on his judicial course. The criticism was directed particularly at, the smallness of the bdil bond Judge Cook exacted of women taken in Grand Jury raids. The amount was $20. The petitions for writs of habeas corpus are still pending, and on the ground that the publication interfered therefore with the administration of justice the news- paper men were cited. They will ap~ pear this morning at 10 o'clock. ————————— Father Accuses Daughters. Andreas Zihn, aged executor of .the estate of his wife, Abigail A. D.
