FIST UNGALLANTLY ENDS CO URTSHIP. Miss Brady Tells in Whispers How “Steady " Struck Her. Is Through With Him, but Does| ot Wish to Prosecute. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD, “He was my steady,” whispered Miss Eleanor Brady of 204 Eilis street to Po- lice Judge Mogan after she had told how Fred Spaulding, real estate dealer at 4 Stockton street, had battered her head while she was visiting his office. | “But even the relationship you aver would not justify bis raising of hands in - | g | anger against you,” his Honor whispered | in response. “Don’t I know that?” Miss Brady whis- pered, though not interrogatively. “Guess I knew enough about law to understand | tha! gentleman has a right to strike a | 1 she murmured. ‘ell us all about it.” ! | “Well, it was this way.

S Y for battery and three months for disturb- | ing the peace was the portion allotted to | 22-year-old James O'Brien, complete hood- |lum, by Judge Mogan. After his arrest | Master O’Brien viciously struck an eye | of Patrolman Mills and the blow black- ened it. | “But ve don't know wot dis bull did ter | me before I handed it ter him,” remarked “But 1 know what he ought to have | done to you after you handed it to him,” | rejoined his Honor. | R Then a total period of nine months’.im- prisonment was prescribed for Dan Me- | | Laughiin, who brutally beat his wife and | stepdaughter at their home in the 100 | | block of Minna street one day last Feb- | ruary. He fled the city and returned when he imagined the police had forgot- ten his offense, but he deceived himself. ~e seph Copeland, whose vocation was | to tour the city on horseback and orally | | announce baseball games, was sent to the | | Insanity Commissioners by Judge Mogan. | Overindulgence in strong waters unbal- anced his mind until he believed that it | | was his duty to go to Sacramento-and | | personally appeal to the Governor for a | pardon for former Tax Collector Smith. | With silk hat in hand he faced the Judge | | and suavely declared that his arrest was | a mistake; but his demeancr removed | any doubt of his insanity that the court might have entertained. | Mrs. Sarah Stone had a babe in her arms when Michael Mooney, deeply in- toxicated, entered her little clothing store on Tihrd street, near Harrison, and struck her face with his fist.. His plea was arunkenness, and Judge Mogan remanded him till Saturday. . .

Further hearing postponed tll to-day by ;Yudse Mogan. . Jacob Young and his family reside in a second-story flat at 412 Fifth street, the Jower floor being occupied by the copper- smithy of Sezonini Mori. The fumes from Sezonint's furnace ascended to the Young domicile while the family were at dinner, and every time they opened their respec- tive mouths they inhaled the acidic vapor, | much to their discomfort. When the head of the family went downstairs and re- Jated his grievance to Sezénini that gen- tleman hurled a heavy metal weight at him, and when Mr. Young returned the | missile with great forfe and more ac- curate aim Sezonini's left arm was either broken or fractured. “Judge Mogan will hear more about it to-morrow. oy e Joseph Komali and eleven other aduit male natives of Italy picnicked at the | ocean beach and were returning yvia In- glestde when they sang so loudly @nd dis- cordantly as to evoke protest from all | the other passengers on the car they occupied. Thomas McKenzie, an attache of the United Railroads, remonstrated more forcibly than any one else, and Joseph Komali struck -his head with a heavy club, for which he and all his com- panions were arrested and booked for disturbance of the peace. “Why do you carry such a bludgeon as | that?" Judge Mogan asked Signor Komail and referring to the club there produced in evidence. “I wasa da slave-drive in Sou’ Afric’ was the signor’'s response, ““an’ usa da club ta hamma da nig.” The round dozen were pronounced guilty i Most of the foregoing happenihgs oc- | Bergman.

Meyer was in plain attire, off duty and on pleasure solely bent when he went to Harbor View Park and mingled with the mer- ry-making crowd thither attracted on Decoration day, and he was acting as a peacemaker and not as a police of- ficer when he received the blow that necessitated his visit to hospital after he had arrested and booked its authors, the Signori Henry Pocai and Alfred Three stitches were required to close the gash over his left eye. After enjoying a hot salt water bath Patrolman Meyer and Dentist Brown- ing were sauntering about and envy- ing the whole-souled way in which an Italian party of picnickers were ban- ishing grim workaday cares. “Isn’t it a beautiful thing,” said the dentist, “to see how these light-heart- ed children of Italia absorb the spirit of our national holidays? Here we ob- serve them disporting themselves with the innocent enthusiasm that marks the carnival time in their native land.” “With not an angry word from one of them,” acquiesced the policeman. “They drink their dago red and eat their macaroni sandwiches and dance and laugh and gambol with all the abandrn of school children at play.

Two toasts were then proposed, the first, “The President,” and the second, *“The King,” accompanied by the “Star Span- gled Banner” and “‘God Save the King.” The Clan Fraser Quartet, composed of Clansmen Barr, Russel, Sim and Lees, then sang “Hail to the Chief.” M. L. Maxwell respondyd to the toast “Royal Officers,” and Miss H. Wilson sweetly sang ‘“The Scottish Clans.” The toast “The Royal Clan" was then re- sponded to by the guest of the evening, Royal Chiet William Steen. He spoke of the Royal Clan and told of fraternal work in the United States and Canada. His speech was followed by J. Gardner, who sang the ‘“Maid of Dundee.” The toast “Order of Scottish Clan: was responded to by Royal Deputy Mec- Carl In the absence of Secretary Kerr. “The Auld Scotch Sangs” was sung by Miss L. Ferguson, followed by the toast “Land o' Cakes,” by J. D. McGilvray. “Jock o' Hazeldean” was sung by Miss A. King and “The Sister Societies” were toasted by J. D. McRae, chief of the | Caledonian Club. | ‘The “United States” was toasted by E. | Kerr, “Clan McDonald" by Chief John | Eddy and “Clan Fraser” by H. Fraser, | father ol the clan. The “Ladies” wu} wittily responded to by D. Mowatt, and J. W. King toasted “Lady Lovat Lodge,"” | the auxillary to Clan Fraser.

When the official announcement is made to-morrow that the Lewis and Clark Centennial is open and a thing of reality the visitors will view a territory of 420 acres studded with gray bulldings and well finished roadways and paths and containing a lake unexcelled in its beauty. The de- linquent exhibitors are well along with their work in most instances and twelve days more will see the completion of all exhibits and a complete exposition. The Government exhibit, the largest of all, is complete in every detail and awalt- i the opening signal, which will be given by President Roosevelt from the ‘White House to-morrow. The arrival of Vice President Fairbanks and the Congressional party to-day brought to the people of Portland a fuller realization that the opening hour of the exposition is almost at hand. With mill- tary honors this morning the arrival of the Vice President and the Congressional party was an imposing one and in a meas- ure was the beginning of the festivities, which will be continued all through to- morrow and to-morrow nignt. To-day it has been rainy, thunder and lightning giving the Eastern visitors a suggestion of an Eastern thunderstorm. The weather forecast officials are not sanguine for a clear day to-morrow. The indications to-night are that the showers will continue throughout to-mororw, in which case the ceremonies attendant upon the dedication will not be held in the open air as originally planned, but in the audi- torium. Every detail of the opening cere- mony Wwas gone over to-day with the gratifying certainty that all will be in readiness to-morrow and tu.: the entire programme will be followed as planned. Governor F. R. Gooding of Idaho, ac- companied by Mrs. Gooding, members of his staff and others, arrived in Portland to-day to attend the opening exercises of the exposition.

SANTA ROSA, May 31.—A decision of importance to the public school teach- ers of the entire State has been rem- dered by Superior Judge Albert G. Bur- nett. The decision was given in the case of James Ferguson, a former prin- cipal of the Petaluma High School, In the suit which he instituted against the Sonoma County Board of Education to compel the board to restore to him his certificate, which he claims was unlaw- fully and unjustly suspended. The certificate of Principal Ferguson was indefinitely suspended by the So- noma County Board of Education on July 9, 1904, for alleged “unprofessional conduct and evident unfitness for teaching.” In his petition for a writ of mandate to compel the restoratiom of his certificate as a teacher. Princi- pal Ferguson alleged that the certifi- cate was taken from bhim “in a high- handed and arbitrary manner,” with- out a sufficient notice, without a trial and without due process of the law. The question involved in the case | which made it of such vital importance to the teachers of the State was wheth~ er or not a teacher's certificate, en- titling him to teach and thereby earn his livelthood, can be arbitrarily taken from him without any trial In presenting the case to the court Attorney Stephen V. Costello, who ap~ peared in behalf of Ferguson. contend- ed that the constitutions of the State of California and of the United States accord to every citizen the right to fol- low whatever lawful calling he may se- lect. He further argued that the ae- tion of the Somoma County Board of Education in suspending Ferguson's certificate was in direct vielation of this provision of the constitutiom, which provides that no person shall be deprived of his liberty without due process of the law, Hberty in this re- spect meaning right to pursue a lawful calling. District Attorney Pond. who repre- sented the Board of Education, argued that the board had arbitrary power in the matter and could suspend a teach- er's certificate without any previous notice of trial. He based his argu- ment wholly on the decision of the Su- préme Court in the Carter case, where it was held that the Mayor of San Di= ego had arbitrary power to dismiss a municipal oficer whom he had ap- pointed. Judge Burnett held with Attorney Costello that the doctrine laid down in the Carter case did not apply and that there was a vast difference between the rights of a school teacher who had spent years of his life to qualify him- self to teach and a public officer who had received his office by appointmeat.
