The retail merchants along the wa- ter front are wroth over imposition on i ings taken by the Police Commission- erg, he said, would be the proper course for Wittman to pursue, the demurrer interposed on behalf of the commissfon be sustained. MANDAMUS IS PROPER. Congressman Jullus Kahn. who repo- resents Wittman, differed in his view. however, and cited authorities by the score supporting his contention that mandamus is the only and proper rem- :qy in the case at bar. He said the ity soned from the standpoint that title to the office in question was to be deter- | mined, while no such contention had | been urged by the petitioner. The at- torney continued as follows: It is our contention that she title is al- ready determined; that Mr. Wittman has been appointed to serve for four years and that he was {llegally removed prior to the expira- tion of his term. Not only do we maintain that he was not given a fair and impartial trial. but we maintain that no matter what offense he may have been guilty of, though we know he has committed none, the Police Commission has no power to try him and an iLepection of the charter will sustain us in our_position. Chapter 7 of article'S of the charter. de- fining the duties of the Board of Police Com- missioners, confers no authority upon the Board of Police Commissioners to try the Chief of Police and by implication It forbids | The charter says that the Police Depart- | it. ment shall consist of a Board of Police Com- missioners, a Chief of Police, to be appointed to serve four yvears officers and patrolmen, to be appointed under civil service provisions, ard clerks. v RIGHT OF TRIAL LIMITED. It is expressly given the power to try for offenses. real or alleged, only those members of the force that are appointed during good behavior. The Chief of Police is in himself & unit of the department, whose term In office is fixed and he is an ex-officto member of the commission. The commission has no more right to try him than it would have to try oue of its own members. Now, another point. The charter strictly provides that no man shall become a member | of the police force itself, as distinguished from the Police Commission and the office of Chiet of Police. who s under 21 or over 35 years of age. When the late Chief Sulllvan was arpointed this question arose, but it was de- termined that notwithstanding the fact that he was 42 years of age he was eligible to appointment “as he did not come within the provisions of the charter fixing the age limit of members admitted under the civil service rules. Nor does ghe office come under that pro- vision of th8 charter providing for promotion of members, for if it had Mr. Dinan could never have been made Chief of Police and the office would have gone to Captain Spillane, the senior officer of his rank. Every pro- vision of the charter relating to the police force considers the office of Chief of Police as a unit separate from the department over the members of which the commission has the right of trial, It is our contention that the Board of Police Commissioners had no right to try Mr. Wittman and that when it took this authority to itself it acted illegally and dismissed him afer a partial and man- ifestly fllegal and unfair trial. A LOS ANGELES CASE. Our contention that mandamus is a proper proceeding to be taken to restore Mr. Witt- man to the office he occupled was sustained this month by the Supreme Court in the case of Davenport against Los Angeles. Mr. Daven- port was removed from office under the ‘‘re- call” provision of the charter of that city, but the Supreme Court held that as he was appointed for a fixed term of office the right of removal did mot vest in the City Council that tried him. The court ordered him re- stored to his office. All of the text book writers are unanimous in the opinfon that mandamus is the proper remedy to secure the restoration of ome to office that has been lllegally removed. We will admit that if Mr. Wittman had never held the office and sought to get it after ap- pointment from one that refused to yleld it the only course for us to follow would be to institute an actlon in quo warranto. This is not the condition here, however, and we ;all stand by the course We are pursuing. In the event that Judge Hunt de- cides that a writ shall issue the entire case will be reviwed by the court, and then, if it is found that Wittman was removed. through the result of a con- | spiracy, as is commonly charged. his | restoration to office will be perempto- rily ordered.

Purchase Price for an Important Holding on Post Street Is $360,000. The Heald's Business College prop- erty on the north line of Post street, 60 feet east of Kearny, 77:6 feet front by 122:6 feet deep, has just been sold by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Jr. to Charles Schlessinger. This building ‘was built originally for Heald's Busi- ness College and the college has been the tenant in the upper floors ever since. The price paid for this proper- ty is $360,000. The rents are $20,700 i a year. He asked that | and County Attorney had rea- | { 3 | elty to Children. Result, arrest of the { husband and father and his arraign- | ment before Police Judge Mogan on | the charge of having falled to provide | for his minor offspring. The complaint | was sworn to by Mrs. Watson of 118 | Page street, in whose custody the in- fant has been while its mother worked |as a domestic for a family residing on | Washington street. Mr. Grassell told the court that he was at a loss to explain the spirit of ! selfishness which prevented wife No. 2 | assigning to wife No. 1 a portion of the | expense of his board, lodging, washing, | tobacco and beer.. He could only at- tribute No. 2's obstinacy to the unrea- | son that is inseparable from her sex. So long as he was willing to have No. & admitted to his household, and that | lady herself had entered no demurrer. he failed to see any logical ground for | No. 2's objection. It was this argu- | ment that prompted Clerk “Pat” Gray |to dash off the following lines and hand ! them to the Prosecuting Attorney: | George Grassel reclined in his first wite | His second wife's pillow under his head, His third wife's coverlet over his hide, | His fourth wife slumbering by his side. | Mr. Gray modestly disclaimed author- ship of the quatrain, but the attorney’s | table opined he did so because of dis- | inclination to have the taxpayers imag- [ ine he was frittering away their money by trifling with the muse during his hours of officialism. | In response to a query from the | bench Mr. Grassell stated he was a | contracting painter unable to obtain | employment. “And you'd better fizure | on that,” he added, tapping the palm of | his left hand with the index finger of i his right ditto. “Before sending me to | Jail you should figure on the fact that bed, | ' said his Honor, “and while you are figuring on what your sentence may be you might as well make due allowance for the absolute’ certainty that it shall be as severe as the law prescribes for your offense. You may now return to the cage and plunge into mental calculation.” . e e Before the same magistrate Albert | Heissner also stood accused of having | failed to provide, the victims of his ne- ! glect being two children, aged respec- tively three and six years. Mrs., Jen- nie Horan of 453 Ellis street was the | complainant. The defense was that | Mrs. Heissner, who works in a cigar store, loved dancing so passionately that she spent most of her nights trip- ping the light fantastic, while Mrs. Horan took care of the little ones. “If you devote more time to terpsi- chore than to your babies they will | be taken away from you,” the Judge warned Mrs. Heissner, and then to Mr. Heissner he said: “The police records show that you are an incorrigible loafer and have already spent thirty days in jail for the yery same offense now charged against you. To-morrow I shall sentence you to the limit, which is six months."” e e But worst of all cases of paternal neglect was that in which George Chapman stood accused before Judge Fritz. It was testified that Mr. Chap- man was father of seven, the oldest of whom {s sixteen, and their support almost since thelr birth has devoived upon his mother-in-law, Mrs. Eliza Freeman of 1318 Dupont street, who works as a house servant, although her age is seventy-one years. Like the party by the name of Grassell, this defendant informed the court that he was a contracting painter unable to obtain work. His utterance of the statement was so thick as to expose inebriety, and the Judge ordered that he be kept in cus- tody until to-day, when the extreme penalty will undoubtedly be prescribed for him. = Officers Young and Walsh found the squalid room on Howard street, near Third, and when they undertook to arrest the unnatural husband and father he fought them like a demon, after taking.from one of his pockets {a handful of silver coins, probably earned by his wife's aged mother, and ! their respective destinations. entire Chapman family dwelling in one | DECLINES T0 DIVIDE HER BURDEN CHA Scorns Husband's Hint That Wife No. | Would Help Her Support Him.

But the songbird was not called to court. Ex-Judge A. B.

Senor Uriburu had nothing to say, nor was Bazelli, that tenor of the ah-so-silvery tone, asked to speak. It was incidentally stated that the $465 found in Senor Uriburu's possession when he was arrested is in the hands of the police property clerk. Signor Wanrell, who booked Tetrazzini to ,8ing in Mexico, claims the money. Owing to the illness of the com- plaining witness, Paul Q.

James Gallagher, driver of a coal ‘wagon, stopped his vehicle in the mid- dle of the car tracks on Sixteenth street and for ten minutes obstructed traffic, to the great annoyance of pas- sengers who were in a hurry to reach Motor- neers and conductors clustered around the obstacle and alternately coaxed and swore at Mr. Gallagher to drive on, but he calmly sat upon his lofty perch and challenged them to ascend and compel him to do as they desired. Thus the blockade stood when a car among whose inmates was Patrolman Joseph joined the waiting line. Ere he became a peace guardian Mr, Jo- seph was a teamster and report had it that no man could handle the ribbons more deftly than he, so with expert eye he immediately saw that it was Mr. Gallagher instead of the horse that was balking. “Why don’t you drive on?” inquired the officer. “Why don't you make me drive on?” was the coal dellverer's retort. The implied invitation was promptly accepted. But when the man in uni- form climbed to the wagon seat its - + occupant refused to relinquish the reins and In the ensuing struggle for possession both men rolled to the road- way. After clearing the track the po- liceman arrested Mr. Gallagher “and booked him for battery and obstruct- ing a streetcar. Judge Conlan pro- nounced both charges proved and will speak the uent.ence. to-d.ay. Mr. and Mrs. Hening, prompted by Judge Fritz, kissed and made up in open court and departed arm in arm. Mr. Hening had been charged with having failed to provide for his better half, who had instituted suit for di- vorce, and she not only withdrew the accusation but informed the magis- trate that she would also quash the proceedings for separation. And the Judge seemed to relish his function as peacemaker. i Henry Brandt, a young fellow, at- tired in a striped sweater and display- ing an awry eye and a caulifiower ear, pleaded” that it was for the pur- pose ‘of repairing a poor little boy’s bicycle that he robbed his employers, the Aleos Freed Company, 1734 Market street, of tires and pedals’'and handle bars and pumps and other appurtenances to the spidery wheel. It was proved, how- ever, that for six months he had steadily beén plifering and concealing his plunder in a coat which had been furnished with capacious pockets for that very purpose. Judge Mogan will sentence him {or ;:euy'larceny. Fred Tiernan declared that while he knew he was shot, he did not recollect how, where or by whom the shot was fired, although Thomas Dougherty stood charged with the crime. Judge Conlan then continued the hearing of the case against Mr. Dougherty until next Wednesday and hinted to Mr. Tiernan that in the interest of justice it would be well for him to undergo : a course of memory culture ad interim. ———————————— MYSTERY SURROUNDS ROW IN STREETS OF KENNETT Winifred's | | Hospital, and to make sure that he speciailst DR.

VALLEJO, April 21.—Chief of Police Standford to-day arrested Henry Co- hen, a local junk dealer, and charged him with receiving 3000 pounds of stol- en metals from the Mare Island Navy Yard. Wednesday evening Chief Stand- ford received word that there was a large quantity of what was believed to ‘'be stolen copper at Aden's wharf awaiting shipment to San Francisco on the steamer Resolute, which leaves here about midnight. The stuff was unwrapped and found to be Govern- ment property. It was consigned to Cokan, who, it was learned, had gone to San Francisco on an afterncon boat to await the arrival of the Resolute. It has been Cohen’s habit to take the junk away at an early hour to a “fence” maintained in the metropelis and then dispose of it. The police have located the place where the materfal has been sold. Eight employes of the construction department in the navy yard are under surveillance and startling disclosures are expected. It is believed that a well-organized gang employed in the storehouses, with the assistance of friendly marine guards, have been do- ing the stealing. —_— RAILWAY COMPANY MUST PAY FOR LIVES OF WOMEN Citizen of Sonora Gets $12,000 Dam- ages for the Death of His Wife and Mother.
