With ‘@ propitiatory smile wreath- ing his classic countenance, Sterling, h to. the charge of defrauding an inn- keeper. Police Judge Mogan ignored the kowtow to his personal and magis- ter v and coldly instructed the prosecution t0 go ahead. Cha 3% Fourth street, was the complaining witness. He swore that the defend- ant, after consuming 25 cents’ worth of viands in the Cafe Blender, at- tempted to evade paying for the same ¢ sneaking past the cashier’s desk and to the stréet. But a vigilant chief 3 yus-sT cuosE® Y | AVERY s-sucEsmng | u CAGEMENT IR S—- waiter observed the strategic move- ment and checkmated it.

Before adducing ex- planation of his inability to meet a for two bits—ha! ha! the ss of the sum was laughable— ould like to inform the court that ad just concluded a highly suc- ement as a member of headed by Miss Blanche e justly famous aggregation of legitimate mummers he If the court were cognizant- of . those facts, he opined, his part in the incident of the cafe mught appear less discreditable. When he entered the rotisserie, Mr. Sterling narrated, he had in his pos- session two five-dollar gold coins, con- tained in-a purse which was confined in a rear. pocket of his pantaloons. While he was seated at the table the | purse by some means opened and as he shifted about in his chair the coins rolled out and into the pocket, which, alat! contained a hole sufficiently large | to “permit of their egress. His | modest meal finished he arose and | sauntered toward the cashier, draw- ing forth his purse as he did so, and then he- discovered he was penniless. | The coins had trundled down the in- | terfor of a trousers leg to the floor, where they were found and kept by | scme’ dishonest person—maybe a | waiter. That was the plain, unvar- | say humiliating, predicament. | the court could not suspect him of be- ing & deliberate swindler? Then the restaurateur spoke again, saying that if it had not. been the fourth time Mr. Sterling had at- tempted to evade payment for his food he might have been less harshly dealt with. Indaed, no longer ago than last Saturday evening, he ate: 40 cents’ worth and then sidestepped the cash counter. However, the prosecution did pot desire to. send him to jail. All it wanted was the money he owed it ‘Would & dollar be accepted as pay- ment in full? Sure. Dollar paid by defendant’s attorney &nd case dismissed by order of bench. . e+ e For several hours of Wednesday aft- ernoon the telephone at police head- quarters was kept busy conveying complaints from bartenders who had been defrauded by “Garibaldl” Flynn, veteran vagabond. All the messages were to the samé effect—that Mr. Fiynn had ordered and consumed & drink and hastened away without pay-] ing for it—and each-supplementary re- quest that a shrewd and trusty po- liceman be detailed to capture the daring miscreant was promptly com- plied with. Half a dozen of the bright- est and best men on the force were seeking Mr. Flynn In the region east of Montgomery street, when no less distinguished a man-hunter than De- tective Captain Burnett collared “Gari- baldl,” then very much under the in- fluence of the libations which he had obtained by false pretense within a stonethrow of the Hall of Justice. ' Judge Conlan gave him.six months— the maximum penalty for vagrancy. R ™ For knocking out one of the eyes and breaking one of the legs of a party of the name of Peterson one day sev- eral weeks ago, John T. Loftus was adjudged guilty of mayhem and sent to the Superior Court by Judge Con- lan. .8 e A jury in Judge Mogan's court ac- es K.

An ad- ditional shock was conveyed to the de- tective by the announcement of the verdict. | » ieiiie Frank J. Cuneo and Nellie, his wife, denied that they willfully stole the purse of Miss Adeline Birchler, a pro- fessional vocalist, while she was tem- porarily absent from the apartment of an Ocean Beach cafe, in which she had been partaking of a tete-a-tete supper with F. D. Ogden, a Southern Pacific claims adjuster. The policeman who was notified of Miss Birchler's loss overhauled the Cuneos in another cafe near the beach and the man at once produced the money, $62. His object in picking up the wallet, he sald, was to hold it In safe keeping for its own: er, whom he was seeking when the po- liceman met him. The cash was re- stored to Miss Birchler, who declined to file formal complaint, and Judge Cabaniss perforce dismissed the two Cuneos, Frank and Nellie. As Miss Birchler informed the court she resides at the Metropolitan Hotel on Third street and is professionally ‘(fl\lflng the Orpheum Vaudeville Cir- cuit, and incidentally warbling in churches. Birchler is her genuine sur- name, ghe added, but she uses it only in her private life and on church pro- grammes, her vaudeville sobriquet be- ing much more mellifiuous to the ear and striking to the eye. P When the policeman responded to the cries of alarmed neighbors of Jeremiah and Mary Hurley he found that ill- mated couple in the small yard back of their abode, 34 Natoma street, and on all sides were evidences of recent fierce conflict. Amid a heap of shat- tered boxes sat Jeremiah, ruefully rub- bing his cranium, while over him stood Mary, with a heavy club in position to swing. She was tauntingly challeng- ing her recumbent spouse to rise and accept some more of the discipline to which she had apparently been sub- Jecting him when he went down to avold punishment, and he was unques- tionably unwilling to take up the defi. The policeman, Goff by name, once ship, and his winning of it necessitated but little more physical exertion than he was compelled to invest in the dis- arming and subjugation of Mary. With commendable prudence Mr. Hurley re- tained his seat until the policeman was assured of victory. ents were conveyed to prison and charged with peace disturbance. |~ Jeremian appeared when the case| was called before Judge Conlan, but | Mary, who had been admitted to balil, sent word to the court that her strength had been overtaxed by the and resisting the officer. So the trial of Jeremiah was proceeded with. Af- ter several ladies, neighbors of the Hurleys, had testified that their days and nights were made hideous by the interminable wrangling of the de- fendants, Miss Mary ‘Wofforth ascend- ed the witness-stand and informed | the Judge that, in her opinion, Mr. | Hurley was no less deserving of pun- | ishment than his absent wife. “Why?"” inquired the bench. “’Cause,” replied Miss Wofforth, “I seed him soak de cop.” His Honor seemed muystifled, and the young lady blushingly has- tened to explain that by saying “cop” ghe meant to say policeman. “Oh, ‘cop’ is intelligible,” said the Judge; “it's ‘soak’ that puzzles.” After “slug” and “lam” had been re- jected Miss Wofforth happily thought of “strike” as a synonym for “soak,” and the court stood enlightened. Mr. Hurley was found guilty of peace disturbance and will be sen- tenced as soon as Mrs. Hurley’s case has been disposed of. . . . Two pretty little girls stood in the corridor and wept bitterly as their mother and grandmother were led past them en route to prison. The women were ordered into custody by Judge Mogan, before whom it was proved that they had violently resist- ed Patrolman O’Connor when he vis- ited their domicile, 516 Montgomery avenue, with a search warrant issued to B. Passera, husband of the younger woman and son-in-law of the elder. While the wife held the policeman and attempted to tear the warrant from his hand her mother clawed and pounded his head with her fists, and in the struggle the officlal documen ‘was torn almost to shreds. The wife also hurled a heavy wardrobe down- stairs, and a single blow pros- trated her husband and threw his watch and chein at him. In all his days, the policeman averred, he had never encountered such a thorough termagant as Mrs. Passera. The husband, who is & porter at the upon a time held a pugilistic champion- | Then the belliger-| double event of defeating her husband | STREET WORK Paving of Mission Road Is Blocked, as Wrong Ordi- nance Was Sent to Mayor | WANTS HOUSE VACATED | {Grand Jury Says Walls of 620 Jackson Street Are Not of Legal Thickness — | Owing to a technical error in the | proceedings of the Board of Supervis- |ors authorizing the paving with as- | phalt of Mission street between Onon- daga and Porter avenues at a cost of | $80,000, the Board of Public Works was compelled yesterday to delay the per- | formance of the work until the error can be rectified. The Barber Asphalt | Company, in resppnse to invitations for | proposals, was prepared to file a bid {to do the work, but when {ts repre- | sentative was apprised of the nature of the error he decided to withdraw | the bid, for the added reason that no provision was made for the building | of a sewer in the street. | President Maestrett! sald that the | first ordinance passed by the board au- thorizing the work contalned a clause specifying that a contract was to be ! entered Into for the paving of the| | street except on that portion required | to be kept in repair by the railroad | company. This was a mistake, as| | there are no tracks laid on the portion | | of the thoroughfare proposed to be im-| | proved. A new ordinance was passed| | which specified that the contract was | to cover the paving of the street with| | the exception of a strip twenty feet | | wide in the central part, reserved as a | | right of way for the company which | | has a franchise therefor. This ordi- | | nance was duly passed, but the first ordinance by some oversight was sent to the Mayor, who affixed his signa-| I ture thereto. Now the proceedings | | must be begun over again so the work | can be legally performed. The City Streef Improvement Com- pany was awarded the contract for the | repair of bituminous pavements in the district bounded by Post, Lombard and | Devisadero streets and Van Ness av-| | enue; Eighth street from Mission to| | Folsom; Folsom street from Ninth to | Twentleth; Thirteenth street from Fol- | <+ | som to Harrison; Guerrero street from | vice C. J. | Market to Twentleth; Shotwell street | from Fourteenth to Twentieth; Market | street from Van Ness avenué to Cu-i | tro. | The City Engineer was directed to! prepare an estimate of cost of bufldlng‘ |a sewer in H street from Seventh to, | Twentieth avenues. | | G. H. Roundey wanted to know what | had been done regarding the removal | of alleged obstructions on Thirty-sixth |avenue and K street. Commissioner Eagan stated that after a personal in-| | spection he had failed to find any ob-i | structions. | | The board recetved & communication from the Grand Jury calling attention | to the alleged fact that the walls of | the bullding at 620 Jackson street do not comply with the building ordi- nance in that they are only nineteen inches in thickness instead of twenty-| one inches. The Grand Jury desired !the board to do police duty and clear | the structure of the inmates. The City | Architect was directed to detail an in- spector to accompany the members of | | the board in an investigation of the | actual conditions. When the Commis- sioners arrived at the place they were | served with an injunction by Attorney | | Mack and prevented from entering the | building. —_——— | WILL ACT FOR BENEFIT | OF A NOBLE CHARITY | Santa Clara Students to Produce “The | Light Eternal” in Ald of the Youths’ Directory. Next Monday evening at the Alham- | bra Theater the new and successful miracle drama, “The Light Eternal,” will be seen for the second time in San Francisco, in this instance for the benefit of the Youths' Directory. The { play was written by Martin V. Merle | and will be presented under his super- | vision by the 200 students of Santa | Clara College who appeared in the original cast. All the magnificent | scenery and splendid costumes used in | the initial production will equip the | perfomance. The play is founded on | Cardinal 'Wiseman’s famous story, “Fabiola.” The charmingly effective historical narrative of the noble youth, Pancratius, and his brave and stalwart | friend, Sebastian, during the bloody | persecutions in the reign of the Em- | peror Diocletian, is portrayed in a poetic dialogue and a series of stage pictures worthy of praise. The plot is fascinating and the situations are thrilling, particularly in the great miracle scene in the palace of the Em- peror. / The Youths’ Directory is dependent on private support of its work of res- cuing friendless children from the deadfalls of the city and making them useful and respectable men and women. Tickets for the benefit may be procured at Sherman, Clay & Co.'s or at the Youths' Directory, Nine- teenth and Guerrero streets. The play Monday night will be the aid of the directory and St. Joseph's Agricultural Institute, the latter being a farm school designed for the prac- | tical education of boys taken from dangerous moral environments in thn' city. The farm school is under the first of a series of entertalnments in | Youths' Directorv management and is likewise maintain:1 entirely by private contribution.
